Chapter 339 Watching fireworks
So here there were ten tall and mighty soldiers standing in line, taking off the rockets with arms thickness on their backs, and waving the ten high wooden boards erected in front of them, and gongs were heard.
"Swish..."
In a moment, ten arrows were fired. The Greater One Divine Fire Crow did not fly entirely by the power of the bowstring. Instead, it had already ignited the fuse at the tail before launching. After it was flew out with the power of the bowstring, the fuse immediately ignited the gunpowder of the side arrow and rushed out with a strong thrust. Everyone could see the longest arrow in the middle, dragging two fire dragons on the left and right, flying forward in a swirling manner.
"boom……"
When it hits a wooden board eighty feet away, it will immediately break through the sticky liquid on the arrow in the middle, and immediately stick the long arrow firmly on the wooden board. Then the fire gradually becomes stronger, igniting the tail of the main arrow, and the gunpowder filled in the arrow as thick as an arm explodes immediately.
"boom……"
A louder sound came, the flames were mixed with wood chips, and the soil flew to all sides. The small ball of flames that flew out should be mixed with something that aided the ignition, and it was really stuck, and even the ground could burn.
In just a few breaths, there was already a sea of fire in front of everyone. Zhu Houzhao looked proudly at the stunned Xiaomei Xia.
"How? If this thing is used to set fire, it is really a killing weapon!"
Xia Xiaomei nodded repeatedly,
"Okay, okay! It's indeed a powerful tool for setting fire. It's a good idea to shoot such rockets into the city and burn houses!"
The first choice weapon for killing and setting fire!
Zhu Houzhao laughed proudly,
"It's a pity that I can't try it in the capital during the Chinese New Year..."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone twitched their lips and said in their hearts,
"Your Majesty, you don't know what you think. If you dare to do this thing that kills and sets fire in the capital, you can wait for all civil and military officials to impeach them, and those who are deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be deathful will be death
Zhu Houzhao also realized that his words were really wrong, and then laughed,
"I'm just saying that this thing is too powerful. The capital is full of my people, so I can't burn their houses..."
Raise your hand and point to the thing next to you.
"This is what I prepared for the New Year!"
Xia Xiaomei followed his fingers and saw a cannon, which was as tall as one person, with a heavy cannon body, small on top and large on the bottom. The muzzle needed to be surrounded by one person, but the lower head and belly were two people thick on the waist. Xia Xiaomei looked left and right.
"Your Majesty, why is this cannon like a toad with a head gone?"
Yes, it was like a toad with a big belly and a small mouth. The cannon seat was cast like two toad feet squatting. Zhu Houzhao smiled and walked over with his hands behind his back. He reached out and touched the cannon belly.
"It's indeed like a toad, but it's powerful..."
Liu Jin saw it in his eyes, was shocked and walked forward to the trail.
"Your Majesty, you...didn't you want to use this thing to bombard the capital during the Chinese New Year?"
Zhu Houzhao smiled and nodded.
"Liu Jin, I know me!"
Everyone felt sad again when they heard this.
"This... you don't need to burn it and use cannons instead. If it really hits the people, I don't know if there is anyone who revolts immediately..."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing again when he saw everyone's expressions, and raised his leg and gave Liu Jin a shot.
"What do dog slaves think? I am not a foolish monarch, how could I do something to bombard the people... It's just that there are big fireworks stuffed here and shot them into the air to watch the fireworks!"
"Oh...so that's it..."
Everyone was relieved when they heard this, and Xiaomei Xia asked,
"Your Majesty, have you tried it? Send a few first for me to see?"
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said,
"It's just what you want to see!"
With an order, a soldier carried a basket over and uncovered the waterproof oil cloth. There was a round bullet in it. Francis said to Xia Xiaomei,
"Empress, this bullet is a firework specially prepared by Weichen. It can be fired into the air and can explode huge fireworks..."
"What are you waiting for? Let's try one!"
Xia Xiaomei was overjoyed and pulled Zhu Houzhao to the side. She watched the two soldiers work together to put the bullet into the muzzle, and someone lit the fuse with a torch. Everyone hid in the mound. After seeing that the fuse was burned, a dull sound came from the iron-cast belly.
"boom……"
As the smoke and dust spread everywhere, there was a round thing flying obliquely towards the high altitude.
"Bang……"
There was a loud noise, and indeed, the sky was filled with sparks, which could reach several meters high and reach a distance of ten meters.
"Um……"
Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction.
"It's a pity that it's day now, and if it's dark, it's definitely very beautiful..."
After thinking about it, he said to Frances,
"Is this color less? It's better to look colorful!"
Francis thought for a while and responded,
"This...the bullet was prepared by me himself, but I am not proficient in making this, and I can't make all kinds of colors for a while..."
Zhu Houzhao frowned when she heard this.
"Then aren't my fireworks during the Chinese New Year too monotonous?"
Liu Jin, who was standing beside him, said with a smile,
"Your Majesty, there is a spark Chen in our capital that specializes in making fireworks. It is said that it is a craft passed down since the previous dynasty. If you invite people to the palace and make fireworks with the Captain Fu, it will definitely be possible!"
Francis responded after hearing this,
"Your Majesty, even if there are craftsmen who specialize in making fireworks, it is of course the best. As long as he prepares the corresponding bullet and fills it into the cannon, the fireworks fired will definitely be very beautiful!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded when he heard this.
"Okay, that's it!"
Later, Zhu Houzhao also tried to shoot an improved Divine Fire Flying Crow, and Xia Xiaomei lit a cannon himself. Everyone saw that the emperor and the empress took action in person regardless of their safety, and they all looked panicked.
But the two of them didn't care at all and had a lot of fun. They turned back to the palace until it was dark. Zhu Houzhao was in great interest today and came back happily with Xia Xiaomei. The eunuchs and palace maids were serving the bath. They sat naked in the white jade bathhouse, half-squinted, and Liu Jin rubbed his body bit by bit, feeling comfortable. Liu Jin watched the words and expressions for a while before he spoke carefully.
"Your Majesty, even if this Sky Thunder is so successful, I am afraid that the relocation of houses will be stepped up after the New Year, so that your Majesty will try out more and more powerful Sky Thunder in the future..."
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said,
"This is indeed an important matter..."
Liu Jin smiled again,
"Your Majesty, I wonder who you are going to hand over to do this?"
Zhu Hou responded,
"Didn't it be handled by the Ministry of Works?"
The Ministry of Works is doing this job of repairing houses. Shouldn’t they let them do the requisition of private houses?
Liu Jin whispered when he heard this,
