Chapter 149 Xiao Qi wants to rekindle the flames of war (first update asks for automatic subscription)

Xiao Qi had known for a long time that their reaction would be very strong, so he didn't say anything else, but led them to a medium-sized trebuchet on another field.

Today, what the trebuchet projects is no longer a clay pot, but something the size of a human head that is buckled together by two hemispherical cast iron semicircles.

Now Xiao Qi's production of yellow powder has been greatly improved. This kind of bomb has been filled with yellow powder, and Xiao Qi wants to make this bomb blow up more fragments.

The cast iron skins of these bombs were poured to look like pineapple skins like the grenade in the previous life.

This kind of casting method, which Xiao Qi calls the new cast iron bomb, makes the yield rate very low. After the casting is completed, less than [-]% of the buckles are fully qualified and can be used.

Many poured cast iron hemispheres, because the many raised places on the connecting skin are very thin, it is easy to have holes in those places.

Xiao Qi didn't care about this, he asked those blacksmiths who poured these things to slowly sum up experience to improve the pass rate, and melt the unqualified ones to re-cast.

Yu Yunwen and others have only heard of those clay pot bombs, not seen them, let alone this new type of cast iron bomb filled with yellow powder.

After a throw by the trebuchet, the bomb exploded directly in the group of wooden boards more than 200 feet away. Xiao Qi led the crowd to check the bombed boards.

I saw that within a radius of one zhang around the explosion point, all the wooden boards were blown up, and many wooden boards within a radius of three zhang had holes pierced by the fragments that shot around.

Yu Yunwen and those ministers were not only stunned this time, but were completely stunned!

This thing has a longer range and greater power than the artillery just now!

Yu Yunwen was so excited that he was speechless, and suddenly bowed deeply to Xiao Qi:

"The King of Zhenbei is really my Great Song Dinghai God. Yu will definitely support everything that King Zhenbei does in the future when he is in court!"

Everyone else also saluted Xiao Qi and said many of the same words as Yu Yunwen.

Xiao Qi hurriedly returned the gift: "My lord Yu, all my lords, this is really a shame. Your lords can help Xiao Mou in the court, so that Xiao Mou will not be disturbed by those villains, and it will be great if he can concentrate on doing things."

After hearing this, Yu Yunwen immediately led other ministers and Xiao Qi to promise: "King Zhenbei can safely trial-produce these artifacts for me in the Song Dynasty in the future. We will definitely do our best to prevent the interference of those mediocre people in the court."

Xiao Qi was overjoyed: "Xiao, on behalf of the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion, and the people of the Song Dynasty thank you all."

When Yu Yunwen and others went to court the next day, they were surrounded by many ministers and asked them what they saw and why those low-status craftsmen were rewarded with official positions.

But Yu Yunwen and the others kept silent to all the ministers' questions, and finally Yu Yunwen was annoyed by the questions, so he snorted coldly:

"Everyone, don't ask any more questions. Don't talk about rewarding a Ququ seventh-rank idle official. Even if I give my left reward to that craftsman, I will be willing!"

Those ministers were frightened by Yu Yunwen's words. They knew Yu Yunwen very well. As long as it was a major national event, this Yu would never play a blind eye.

Now he actually said that he was willing to give his official position as a first-rank prime minister to that craftsman. It seems that what those craftsmen did is definitely an earth-shattering event!

Many people did not give up, and continued to ask to know what great things those craftsmen were doing.

Yu Yunwen has been annoyed for a long time: "Everyone, don't ask around, it's for your own good that Yu doesn't say anything, if these things are not allowed by the officials, who knows that these secrets will kill you, do you think King Zhenbei dare not kill people! "

Now those ministers completely shut up. In the main hall yesterday, Xiao Qi almost drew his knife and hacked people. Although the many officials who were not qualified to enter the main hall and could only wait outside the hall did not see them, they scattered. I also heard about it after the dynasty.

None of them doubted that Xiao Qi would draw his sword and slash people at the slightest disagreement. The name of "Devil God" is very resounding now. Not only the Jinren were terrified, but no one dared to face Xiao Qi when he was furious.

This Xiao Qi is said to be the reincarnation of the God of Killing, and his murderous nature is not weaker than Bai Qi who killed 40 Zhao Jun in the pit!

After that, a group of supporters headed by Yu Yunwen and other important ministers appeared in the Great Song Dynasty Hall. All the memorials involving Xiao Qi and Chang Shengying were rejected by Yu Yunwen and others before Zhao Shen could speak.

This made Zhao Shen very happy, he felt much more relaxed, he used to always try to coax these old guys, but now as long as it is related to Xiao Qi, he doesn't care about it, big or small.

Those Yu Yunwen and others who had visited the secret military camp now regard Xiao Qi as a taboo in their hearts, and they will go all out to kill him whenever anyone mentions him.

Some people even participated in Xiao Qi's attempt to find Xiao Qi's troubles, and were spat out by Yu Yunwen and others. They even found a few dirty buttocks and asked for an investigation. indivual.

Now the hall is much cleaner!

Not to mention the changes in the court.

Now Xiao Qi is annoyed because of her negligence!

Because he just remembered the scurvy that caused the death of a large number of crew members when the west just started ocean voyages.

Although such symptoms were rare during the Zheng He period, one of the very important reasons was that the original fleet basically sailed in Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean coast.

I also went to northern Africa, but I seldom went there because I saw it was dry, barren and sparsely populated.

During that period, Zheng He had been devoted to promoting the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. He was friendly to the coastal countries and not hostile, so the supply was very convenient. In addition, the products of Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean countries were mainly fruits.

Zheng He's fleet at that time was tens of thousands of people, but because they often supplemented with fruits, there was no vitamin C deficiency at all, and scurvy seldom appeared.

I am different!

He is going to finally create an invincible fleet to conquer the world!

The fruit that can be preserved for a long time has not been found yet. As for the countless people who have died in the West, it is clear that we must bring enough lemons that are easy to preserve for a long time on board.

But there is no such thing as lemon in this land now!

Xiao Qi had no choice but to order people to search for oranges and other fruits similar to lemons in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Fujian.

After finding it, let the local transportation be convenient to start planting, and hope that when the time for my voyage is ripe in a few years, those things will be supplied in large quantities.

Fortunately, it is not too late to think of these things. In recent years, I have mostly been active in the surrounding waters, and I have established my own supply stations for going to sea in Southeast Asia.

Those places are rich in fruit, and it is good to look for fruit that can be preserved for a long time there.

In fact, fruits are rich in vitamin C. Those Western countries turned lemons into boiled water, which is the same as China's disease-free and curable water. It was just because this thing could be stored for a long time that it became a treasure in their hearts during ocean voyages.

The emphasis on lemons passed down from their ancestors who plundered everywhere has formed the habit of most Westerners who love to eat lemons. When cooking with most of us, if you don’t put soy sauce, you will feel that there is something less.

Xiao Qi wrote several temporary substitute products in his notepad, oranges, coconuts, raisins, hawthorn and other things are Xiao Qi's first choice.

The hawthorn is okay, but the raisins are now produced in the hands of Xiliao, separated by Tubo and Xixia, and there is even a small area in the Kingdom of Jin between Song and Xixia.

For raisins, Xiao Qi is more important than oranges. They are small in size and can be stored for a long time. Although the vitamin content is lost due to drying, it is rich in other things such as sugar.

Xiao Qi felt that no matter whether he could find lemons or not, this raisin must be obtained.

As for the access path, didn't Ren Dejing lead a hundred thousand Xixia soldiers to fight with him before?

Then use Xixia to experiment with your new firearm!

　Ask for a ticket.
