353 The Power of Honoring the Prime Minister [Three/Four]

The prince focused on the various new weapons built by Zhu Xiuyuan.

He also stated that it was precisely because of the merits of these weapons that Jiangzhou was able to defend the city for ten days, so Zhu Xiuyuan was the chief contributor.

He also mentioned the words "technology is the primary productive force" that he heard from Zhu Xiu in the distance, but everyone was confused as if they were listening to a book from heaven.

"There is a pool of fire oil in Lushan, south of Jiangzhou City, where it is very easy to obtain fire oil. Before the war began, Zhu Xiuyuan had already sent people to collect and store a large amount of fire oil to prepare for the war."

Chen Huang Liu Shubao interjected: "I have also heard about the power of fierce fire oil, but this oil is very easy to catch fire and cannot be extinguished. Although it is a sharp weapon, it often burns itself. So Zhu Xiuyuan can actually collect and store large amounts of fierce fire oil?"

"Yes!" The prince said firmly, and was faintly proud.

"My son has personally seen it. The violent and flammable oil, in Zhu Xiuyuan's hands, is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. It does not pose any threat!"

"Okay! Your Majesty, please continue."

"Yes, Father!" The prince paused and then said: "Zhu Xiuyuan used fierce fire oil to create two new weapons, one is the 'Fierce Fire Oil Urn', and the other is the 'Fierce Fire Oil Cabinet'."

"The jar of burning oil can be dropped from a high position on the city wall. When it hits the ground, it will shatter and the burning oil will splash everywhere. Then you can shoot it with rockets, causing a fire under the city to burn the enemy troops!"

"It can also be thrown by a trebuchet to burn the enemy's trebuchets, siege ladders, battering rams, etc. into slag."

"As for the fierce fire oil cabinet... this thing is extremely delicate. I have examined it carefully, but I still can't understand how it works."

"The fierce fire oil tank is made entirely of wrought copper. When using it, you only need to put it on the city wall and pull the lever back and forth."

"The nozzle will spit out a blazing fire dragon, which is about several feet long. It can directly attack the enemy troops below the city from the city wall, sweeping away a large area!"

"And the fire dragons are continuous and continuous, and their lethality is extremely strong. The enemy does not dare to approach at all!"

"Is there really such a wonderful thing?!"

Emperor Chen and Liu Shubao slapped the table and stood up, their eyes as big as copper bells.

"Yes! I have seen it with my own eyes, so I can't fake it!" The prince replied resolutely.

Chen Huang and Liu Shubao walked around with their hands behind their backs, a look of ecstasy gradually appearing on their faces.

"With this weapon, the combat power of our country, Chen, will be greatly enhanced..."

Chen Huang and Liu Shubao seemed to have thought of something beautiful, and finally burst into laughter, couldn't help but muttered with joy.

Everyone could only faintly hear the words "counterattack" and "tribute".

The prince and others looked at Chen Huang "going crazy" and were a little dumbfounded. They didn't know why he was so excited.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the fierce fire oil pool on Nalu Mountain must not fall into the hands of the enemy... Come on, come on!"

Chen Huang was so excited that he seemed to be going crazy, and his whole body was in a daze.

"Your Majesty!" The Jinwu guards outside the palace turned around and entered.

"I have ordered General Jinwu Zuowei to send out one thousand... no, five thousand Jinwu guards to guard the fierce fire oil pool on Mount Lu in Jiangzhou. Anyone who approaches without reason will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" The two Jinwu guards turned around and went down to carry out Emperor Chen's order.

Emperor Chen chattered for a while, and then asked the prince again: "Your Majesty, is that fire dragon that spits out a fierce fire oil tank really several feet long? Can it really make the enemy troops under the city dare not approach?"

"Father, it's really true. I have seen with my own eyes that a powerful oil tank can be worth thousands of elite soldiers!" The prince said firmly.

"Without such powerful weapons, how could the small Jiangzhou City be able to stand firm for ten days under the siege of 50,000 Yan troops?" the prince added.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Chen Huang sat down again and took a sip of tea to calm down his shock.

Then he ordered: "Come, please send word to Jiangzhou Sima Zhu Xiuyuan to come to Beijing immediately. I want to see it with my own eyes!"

"Yes!" Someone went to carry out this order.

"Your Majesty, although you did not participate in the battle to defend the city in Jiangzhou, after staying in the city for ten days, I am afraid that you will not be able to rest well. You should be tired too. You should go back and have a good rest today. I will wait for another one tomorrow.

There is a reward!" Emperor Chen waved his hand.

"Thank you very much, my dear father!"

The prince handed over his hand to thank him, and then said: "Um...Father, I haven't finished speaking yet. Zhu Xiuyuan also has several other powerful weapons..."

"besides?!"

Emperor Chen seemed to have heard some great good news and rushed: "Your Majesty, tell me quickly!"

The prince and Yourong Yan collected their thoughts for a moment, and then continued: "In addition to the fierce fire oil, Zhu Xiuyuan also created a powder that has the power of ghosts and gods, called 'divine thunder'!"

"On this basis, Zhu Xiuyuan created four new weapons, namely 'Bamboo Firecrackers', 'Paper Firecrackers', 'Shocking Thunder', and 'Big Shocking Thunder'!"

"Bamboo tube firecrackers are made of bamboo tubes as thick as your thumb, filled with thunder powder, ignited and exploded with a thunderous sound. Dozens of bamboo tube firecrackers are strung together like braids, forming a long chain."

"When using it, just light the fuse with fire and throw it into the city. When the number is large, it will make an earth-shattering noise, frightening the enemy and causing the enemy's war horses to stumble. It has an unexpected effect."

"There is not much difference between paper firecrackers and bamboo firecrackers, except that there are iron filings hidden in them. When they explode, the iron filings splash out. Although they cannot penetrate the armor, they can hurt people's faces and eyes and make the enemy lose their combat effectiveness."

"As for the Sky-shaking Thunder, it is an incredible new weapon that is unprecedented in the past and the present!"

"It's as big as a child's fist, and its outer shell is made of pig iron, filled with divine thunder. When it explodes, the sound is like muffled thunder, and it's ready to shake all the internal organs of a person out of the body."

"In addition, the cast iron of the outer shell will break apart due to the force of the explosion, and will be scattered in all directions, which will have the power to break armor! A sky-shaking thunder can damage the enemy within a radius of one foot!"

hiss!

Chen Huang and others couldn't stop breathing.

"The Big Earthquake Thunder is an enlarged version of the Earthquake Thunder. It is as big as a human head and is thrown by a trebuchet. It flies towards the enemy's siege ladders, battering rams, trebuchets, etc. and explodes in front of them, destroying the enemy in one fell swoop.

Army siege equipment!"

"Father, the city of Jiangzhou is small and there are not many soldiers guarding the city, but with these many new weapons, they can resist the 50,000 Yan army outside the city and remain standing!"

"Among them, Sima Zhu Xiuyuan of Jiangzhou deserves the greatest credit! For such meritorious officials, I am bold and want to ask my father for a big reward!" the prince paid his respects.

"Um."

Chen Huang nodded and patted his knees with both hands.

Said: "I wish you dear, I owed him a reward originally, and now that he has achieved such extraordinary achievements, I should reward him as well, and I can't let the hero's heart be cold..."

Concubine You said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right. This time Zhu Xiuyuan and the emperor defended the city side by side and made great achievements. Your Majesty should reward him heavily!"

Prime Minister Li Zhong twisted his lips and secretly scolded Concubine You Guifei for being cunning. She actually tied the hero to the prince in one sentence. This was to attract talents!

However, the Prime Minister Li Zhongsi thought about it before he went out and said: "Your Majesty is wise! The credit for Jiangzhou should go to the Sima of Jiangzhou. In addition to your commendation, your Majesty should also spread the decree to the world, so that everyone in our Chen country knows that the Sima of Jiangzhou deserves it."

Great hero of the dynasty!"

After hearing this, Concubine You also secretly spat.

Li Zhong emphasized that the credit belongs to Jiangzhou Sima, which means that it has nothing to do with the prince, and deliberately downplayed the prince's influence in this matter...

But in an instant, Concubine You was relieved.

Jiangzhou Sima Zhu Xiuyuan has been won over by her a long time ago. He is considered to be on her side. Even if all the credit goes to Zhu Xiuyuan, it is her side that benefits!

Naturally, Emperor Chen, Liu Shubao and the prince did not know about the twists and turns between Concubine You and Prime Minister Li Zhong.

Chen Huang naturally agreed to the two people's suggestions.

The prince was also happy when he saw that the hero would finally be rewarded.

But at this moment, someone sent a document from Jiangzhou.

Chen Huang took it, took a look, opened his mouth and recited:

"Pipa line."

"The Xunyang River sees off guests on the first night, and the maple leaves and flowers rustle in autumn."



"The big strings are as noisy as the rain, and the small strings are as loud as whispers."



"Late at night, I suddenly dreamed about teenage things, and the dream was full of tears and tears."



"We are both fallen people at the end of the world, so why should we have known each other before when we meet!"



"There is no music in the remote place of Xunyang, and I don't hear the sound of silk and bamboo all year round."



"Who among us has cried the most? Jiangzhou Sima's green shirt is wet."
