565. The court moved to the palace
Just a few days after the New Year, something suddenly made Zhao Dongting's mood improve again.
The skilled craftsmen from the Military Industry Department worked overtime and finally forged the real objects of the sky-storm cannon he had developed.
Xu Yuesong, Secretary of the Ministry of Military Industry, ran to the bedroom happily to ask for a meeting with Zhao Dongting.
After Zhao Dongting learned about it, he was also very yearning for it. He immediately took Ying'er, Tie Liduan and others out of the palace and headed to the Military Industry Department.
Soon afterwards, a group of skilled craftsmen followed Zhao Dongting to Haikang and went to the open space outside Haikang County.
Deputy Military Commander Su Liuyi, Secretary of the Military Science Department Li Qingyun, Commander of the Flying Army Ren Wei, Commander of the Tiankui Army Yue Peng and others accompanied him.
The flags fluttered, and hundreds of elite soldiers of the Kui army guarded them behind them.
When he arrived in the valley about ten miles away from Haikang County, Zhao Dongting's carriage slowly stopped. Yue Peng raised his gun, and hundreds of elite soldiers of the Kui army ordered them to stop.
The spear did not shake at all, pointing in the air in a diagonal direction, even the time when the horse's hooves landed on the ground was almost the same.
The Tiankui Army captured the elite troops among the imperial guards, and each of them was considered a veteran of war. Although its strength was naturally worse than that of the Feilong Army, it was definitely extremely rare in this era.
Zhao Dongting led Ying'er off the carriage, said a few words to Ying'er, looked up at the sun in the sky, and walked forward slightly.
The craftsmen of the Military Science Department placed carefully carved parts on the ground.
They each have their own duties, but no one can forge a complete sky-storm cannon, so naturally they can't assemble it.
This is also Zhao Dongting had to do it in order to prevent the manufacturing method of sky-surgery cannons from leaking out.
Su Liuyi and others all showed their desire and expectation.
Su Liuyi followed Zhao Dongting with a smile, "Your Majesty, the old minister still remembers the scene of trying to hit the sky thunder. I wonder how this sky-surge cannon compares to hit the sky thunder?"
Zhao Dongting only shook his head slightly, "The use is different, it is not easy to compare. However, in terms of power, the sky-storming cannon can be compared with the dragon cannon (grenade launcher)."
The smile on Su Liuyi's face became even more joyful.
Zhao Dongting squatted down and began to fiddle with the neatly arranged parts on the ground.
The people around the side were very conscious and left and retreated ten meters away.
In just over ten minutes, another grenade launcher appeared in front of Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting waved his hand to the back and said, "Pick up the shells."
A minor official from the Military Science Department quickly carried a box of shells and ran forward.
Su Liuyi, Yue Peng and others couldn't help but be curious and followed. When they saw the grenade launcher, they were slightly stunned.
Yue Peng said: "Your Majesty, isn't this the Dragon Cannon?"
Zhao Dongting shook his head and chuckled, "You don't understand, it looks the same, but the difference is huge."
Of course, he would not explain to Yue Peng what needle striker method, gunpowder propulsion device, etc. Even if he talks about these things, it is impossible for anyone to understand them.
Zhao Dongting couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Life is so lonely as snow."
He opened the box and took out the shells.
The appearance of the shell is not much different from the grenade launcher. It is just that the tail is somewhat different.
Zhao Dongting waved his hand to the back and ordered Ren Wei: "General Ren, put a hot air balloon into the air."
Ren Wei nodded quickly to agree.
The Pirate Sergeant he specially brought to spread the hot air balloon, ignite the flames, and the hot air balloon slowly took off.
The eyes of the crowd also looked higher and higher with the hot air balloon.
Zhao Dongting lowered his head and fiddled with the Sky Cannon, raised a finger and glanced left and then. Then when the hot air balloon rose very high, he went to the telescope installed on the Sky Cannon to look.
"General Ren, how many feet can a hot air balloon usually rise to?"
Ren Wei replied: "When you go back to the emperor, the hot air balloon can rise to about two hundred feet. No matter how high it is, it will be impossible to control it and it will be difficult to hit the target of the lower head."
Zhao Dongting nodded, "Then what height do you usually lead the army to fight?"
Ren Wei replied without hesitation: "It's probably less than 150 feet."
"How high is the hot air balloon rising now?"
"It must be more than two hundred feet!"
"oh."
Zhao Dongting stopped talking and then went under the telescope.
The hot air balloons rise higher and higher.
Su Liuyi and others next to him couldn't help but look anxious, thinking why the emperor didn't fire.
It was not until about two minutes later that Zhao Dongting finally stuffed the shell into the cabin of the sky-rushing cannon under the zeal of everyone's eyes.
Ying Er chuckled and covered her ears, then blinked at Zhang Ru next to her. Zhang Ru also covered her ears.
A cannonball with a fire leaped straight into the sky.
The tail of fire is like a meteor.
Then, there was a loud bang.
Su Liuyi and others were confused, their expressions were confused, and their ears were confused.
The hot air balloon that had already flew extremely high was blown into pieces and turned into dozens of balls of debris and flames falling to the ground.
Zhao Dongting laughed.
After dozens of seconds, he stood up and turned around and asked Su Liuyi, Yue Peng and others, "How about I do this sky-surgery cannon?"
Su Liuyi bowed, "The emperor is talented and talented, and no one in the world can surpass you. Even if Guiguzi is alive, that's far from it."
Ren Wei looked solemn, "The hot air balloon will never be invincible in the future."
Yue Peng: "I'm such a good mother, I'm so scary."
Then he hurriedly fell to the ground, "I beg the emperor to give this sky-storming cannon to the Tiankui Army!"
Hundreds of elite soldiers of Tiankui Army who were still standing behind him turned over and dismounted, and then fell to the ground.
"You think beautifully."
Zhao Dongting laughed and scolded: "There are at most fifty cannons in each army. There are so many, so no one can be imagined."
Yue Peng laughed, satisfied, "I will thank the emperor."
Zhao Dongting clapped his hands and was full of energy, "I want to see how those dirty villains in Dali will snatch food in our Song Dynasty in the future."
Then he looked at Xu Yuesong, Xu Yuesong and Li Qingyun, "Mr. Xu, Lord. Li obey the order."
Xu Yuesong and Li Qingyun bowed, "I'm here."
Zhao Dongting said: "I ordered you to build fifty sky-rushing cannons within two months, and then send them to my deputy Zhang Jue's military order."
Xu Yuesong and Li Qingyun received the order.
Su Liuyi was slightly surprised by the side, "Your Majesty, are you planning to move to the palace during the spring breeze season?"
Zhao Dongting chuckled and shook his head, "You can follow the Empress Dowager to go first when moving the palace. Just keep General Yue in this Leizhou and go with me in the future. I still have some things to do."
Seeing that Zhao Dongting did not say anything clearly, Su Liuyi had some doubts, but did not ask more questions.
On this day, everyone returned to Hikvision with joy.
With this sky-storming cannon, the Song Dynasty could be invincible again when competing with the soldiers.
...
spring equinox.
Leizhou Port reappears in vitality.
The merchant ships coming and going broke through the thick fog, bringing white silver to Leizhou.
But those who are interested find that Liuqiu, who had been in close contact before, had not had many merchant ships coming. Those who came here were just black ships without formal documents.
The merchant ships that the Song Dynasty went to Liuqiu were all blocked by Liuqiu's soldiers and were not allowed to enter the port.
This is obviously not normal.
After receiving the report from his subordinates, the Director of the Customs Department realized that the matter was serious and personally reported it to Zhao Dongting.
After hearing this, Zhao Dongting just nodded slightly, "I know."
He was not surprised, because the MIIT stationed in Liuqiu had been continuously reporting Liuqiu's situation to him.
This matter was all Cai Jianjiu who was interfering with Liu Qiu.
Zhao Dongting heard Tie Liduan talk about Lin Chong and the leader of the martial arts world Cai Jianjiu, but he didn't expect that Cai Jianjiu really had such energy in Liuqiu.
Using force to coerce Liuqiu's army, Emperor Xing, ordered that he refuse to trade with the Song Dynasty. This would only happen in places like Liuqiu.
If it were in the Great Central Plains, which martial artist would dare to take such a big fuss?
Which warrior has such strength?
Cai Jianjiu is just Shangyuan Realm, and he actually ruled the entire Liuqiu River. It's really ridiculous.
On this day, Lu Xiufu, Su Liuyi, Chen Wenlong and other ministers took Li Xiushu, Yinger and others to leave Haikang and go to Changsha.
A group of officials, eunuchs and maids in the court followed each other, with thousands of people.
In addition, there were also the worshipers of Wuding Hall and five other imperial guards who remained in Leizhou except Yue Peng Tiankui's army.
This is just a person from the court.
If you want to follow the court to Changsha, there will be more relatives and family members of the officials, soldiers.
If you really need to calculate it carefully, there will be tens of thousands of people.
Tong Zhen, who had not left Hikka, followed Zhao Dongting and sent Li Xiushu and others to Hikka Xuyuan.
Just two days later, Zhao Dongting also left Hikang with Tie Li Duan, Kuma Ye, Hong Wutian, and Madam Xu, four peerless masters of the Glory Hall of Wuding Hall.
They boarded the ship from Leizhou Port, but went towards Liuke.
