Zhenwu Tianxia: Summon Yuwen Chengdu at the beginning

Chapter 395 Knighthood, Psionic Cannon
Deer Island, in the barracks of the Second Dali Army.

It is said to be a military camp here, but it is actually more like a city.

In fact, the bases of the eight major legions of Dali are all independent, especially the four legions on the four islands of Yuluo. The base of the legions is a city.

Different from the Land of Spirit Desolation, the four legions of the four prefectures of Spirit Desolation are also responsible for guarding the frontier, while the army corps of the four islands of Yuluo are actually more like guards, but in fact there are real guards in various parts of Dali , They have commanders and envoys under their jurisdiction, responsible for maintaining law and order in various places.

Therefore, the four major armies in the four states of Linghuang are basically a decoration.

And this adjustment of the strength of the Army Corps is actually a good thing for the soldiers.

The soldiers stayed in the Army Corps without any opportunity to make meritorious deeds. In the past two years, they could only watch the soldiers of the Navy conquer the north and south and make contributions, while they themselves could only stay in the camp and practice every day.

Of course, war kills people, and if they stay in the Army Corps, they will hardly join the war, and they will not experience life and death crises.

But if a warrior doesn't fight, what face is there to be called a warrior?

For the soldiers, they would rather die in the sea than waste time in the barracks.

Moreover, as naval divisions participated in more and more battles, the resources obtained by the soldiers of the major naval divisions far exceeded those of the army corps.

This made the soldiers of the army even more envious and more eager to join the navy.

And as the news spread that the court was about to deploy the soldiers of the army corps to join the four major naval divisions, the soldiers of the second corps became looking forward to it.

At this time, it was in the Commander's Mansion of the Second Legion.

Wu Sheng sat in the lobby, with a bit of melancholy on his handsome face.

"what are you worried about?"

A woman in a crimson-purple skirt walked into the hall, seeing Wu Sheng like this, she asked softly.

The woman's skin was snow-white, and even her pupils were white. Although her appearance was beautiful, she looked rather weird.

That's right, she is the Xueyi Envoy, but now she is no longer the previous Xueyi Envoy, but Wu Sheng's wife, Chen Hongxia.

When Wu Sheng heard her voice, his melancholy expression immediately dissipated without a trace, and he said with a smile, "Nothing?"

Chen Hongxia sat gracefully beside him, with a bit of warmth on her delicate face.

Since marrying Wu Sheng, many changes have taken place in her body. She took off the blood-red dress and put on a lady's skirt. The originally cold and handsome face has become much gentler now.

If you don't know her past, maybe many people will think that she is just a woman who cares for her husband and raises her children.

"I know what you're worried about, aren't you just worried about the adjustment of the court this time?"

Chen Hongxia smiled softly, "Actually, I don't think you need to worry too much, His Majesty will definitely not treat you badly!"

Hearing this, Wu Sheng chuckled lightly, "Why, do you have such confidence in His Majesty?"

Chen Hongxia said: "Because Your Majesty has a great talent!"

They haven't had much contact with Qin Wei in the past few years. Except that Wu Sheng can attend the court meeting every year when Wu Sheng needs to go to the capital to report on his duties, he hardly sees Qin Wei again.

It is precisely because of this that Wu Sheng feels that he is not valued.

After all, Dali has participated in many wars in the past two years, but he has never participated in it. Whether it is Qin Wei or the Military Aircraft Department, it seems that they want him to be a cold shoulder.

In fact, he was right to think so. The reason why Qin Wei and the Military Aircraft Department did not use Wu Sheng in the past two years was to somewhat want to snub him.

After all, Wu Sheng was a former general, and he had a great reputation in the four islands of Yuluo. If he had a different intention, it would bring a lot of trouble to the court.

"From the actions of His Majesty and Chaotang in the past two years, it can be seen that in the future, Dali will definitely have a big battle with the Giant Spirit Dynasty. This big battle will definitely have a place for my husband!" Chen Hongxia said proudly.

She is not confident in Qin Wei, but in Wu Sheng.

In her opinion, as long as Qin Wei is not stupid, Wu Sheng will be promoted and reused.

Wu Sheng couldn't help smiling when he heard the words, "You're right!"

He stood up slowly, looked at the clear sky through the door, "Your Majesty will use me!"

Suddenly, a burst of confidence and arrogance erupted from him.

The two years of neglect made his state of mind a lot quieter, but deep down in his heart, he is still the great general who is proud of the world.

At this moment, a personal guard walked quickly.

"Report, report to the general, the herald of the military aircraft department will meet you outside the door!"

Wu Sheng's eyes lit up, "Please!"

A moment later, a travel-worn general in battle armor walked in.

"Official Qi Nan pays respects to General Wu Sheng!"

The herald officer of the Military Aircraft Department is just a seventh-rank military attache, and his main duty is to transmit the orders of the Military Aircraft Department.

However, they are only responsible for some unimportant orders. If it is an important order or an urgent order, the Military Aircraft Department will use the communication magic weapon.

"I don't know what military orders are there at the military plane?" Wu Sheng asked.

Qi Nan said in a deep voice: "It's not a military order from the Military Aircraft Department, it's an imperial decree from His Majesty. The eunuch proclaiming the decree is already on the way and is expected to arrive in three days. General Wu Sheng is also requested to prepare in advance!"

"Holy decree!"

Now Wu Sheng's eyes are brighter.

"Do you know the content of the imperial decree?"

Qi Nan was taken aback, and said helplessly: "The general thinks highly of being an official!"

Wu Sheng was shocked, but he also lost his mind to ask such a question.

"Thank you!"

Wu Sheng came back to his senses, Qi Nan bowed his hands and thanked him, and then arranged for his personal guards to prepare board and lodging for Qi Nan.

When Qi Nan left, Wu Sheng and Chen Hongxia immediately prepared to welcome the order.

Wu Sheng began to fast, and Chen Hongxia prepared the incense case.

Three days later, Wu Sheng bathed and changed his clothes to welcome the imperial decree.

The contents of the imperial decree startled Wu Sheng, and Wu Sheng was conferred the title of Uncle Ying Wu, the commander of the East China Sea Division, and the title of General Dragon and Tiger.

It's nothing to be the commander-in-chief of the Donghai Navy, it can only be regarded as a mediocrity, and it's nothing to be named General Dragon and Tiger.

However, he was granted the title of Uncle Ying Wu, which surprised Wu Sheng.

Because since Qin Wei ascended the throne, there were very few nobles conferred. It can be said that after Qin Wei ascended the throne, except for Tu Changkong of Zhen Guo Company and Lu Baifeng, Marquis of Muyang, none of them had conferred honors.

But this time, Wu Sheng was conferred the title of earl, which is extremely rare for Da Li.

After the surprise, Wu Sheng's loyalty to Qin Wei went one step further.

"I thank your Majesty Long En!"

He bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to receive the imperial edict.

……

Dali Kyoto, in the study of Shengtian Palace.

Qin Wei leaned over his desk and looked at the memorial on the desk.

Xiao Shunzi next to him poured tea and water for him from time to time.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of meritorious service reported by the Military Aircraft Department." The tall and old Eunuch Lu came up to him and presented a memorial to Qin Wei.

Qin Wei took it and opened it to look.

Conferred honorable honor!

Naturally, this was not prepared for Wu Sheng alone.

Indeed, Qin Wei has seldom conferred honorary titles in these years, because in his opinion, the noble class is a big trouble for the court.

Even though Qin Wei has repeatedly reduced the power and status of Dali Xungui, Xungui still has a lot of influence in Dali.

However, with the continuous expansion and rise of Dali, those veteran nobles have gradually declined, and almost all of them have withdrawn from the power center of the court.

This can't be blamed on Qin Wei, it can only be blamed on their incompetence.

If it was before, it would be fine if Qin Wei didn't confer honors, but this time it really won't work.

Because of the battle in the turbulent sea area, Dali's soldiers made a lot of meritorious deeds, it would be unjustifiable if they were not rewarded.

However, in order to prevent the noble class from becoming too powerful, Qin Wei still made a lot of changes.

The first is to increase the ranks of nobles. In the past, Dali only had the third-class nobles of Duke and Marquis. This time, Qin Wei added two titles of viscount and baron. First class has three grades.

And the former Gonghoubo all became third class.

For example, Situ Changkong used to be Dali's Duke of Zhen, but now he has become Dali's third-class Duke of Zhen.

In this way, Situ Changkong will still have a chance to be promoted in the future, and it will save him from being promoted.

Secondly, the power of Xungui was restricted, and Xungui was allowed to enter the court as an official or general, but he had to pass the examination of the court just like ordinary people.

In the past, nobles could directly enter the army, but now Qin Wei directly restricts this, making them the same as ordinary people.

But in terms of salary, Qin Wei raised the salary of Xungui.

To put it simply, it is to reduce the privileges of Xungui and increase the salary of Xungui.

In fact, Xungui's salary is nothing to Da Li, Qin Wei would rather give more salary, but also limit Xungui's power.

Qin Wei looked at the memorial sent by the military plane, thought about it, and revised it a bit.

Yuwen Chengdu and Bai Qi were named third-class dukes.

Zhuge Zhengwo and Tieyou Xiafeng were third-class marquises.

Mao Jiang was promoted to second-class marquis.

Lu Zhiqing was promoted to third-class marquis.

……

His idea is that those who did not have a title before will be directly awarded this time, and those who had a title before will be promoted this time.

After making some revisions, Qin Wei handed the memorial to Eunuch Lu and said, "Just pass the order here!"

Naturally, Qin Wei needs to confer the title in person, and no matter whether it is a prince or uncle, he needs Qin Wei's imperial decree to confer the title.

So this needs to be done by the supervisor of ceremonies.

"Here!" Eunuch Lu responded, and withdrew the memorial.

"What else is important today?" Qin Wei asked Xiao Shunzi.

Xiao Shunzi immediately said: "Master Duan is still waiting outside the door!"

Qin Wei slapped his forehead, he forgot about it.

Mr. Duan is also Duan Haichao. He is currently the president of the Array Master Association and a fourth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Industry. Although his official rank is not high, his status in Dali Chaotang is not low. The strong man on the third floor is also a formation mage.

As for Xiao Yicai, he has already resigned from the Formation Association, and was appointed by Qin Wei as the Vice President of the Enshrining Academy.

Although Xiao Yicai is good at formations, he is even better at cultivation. He is one of Dali's top experts. Qin Wei didn't want him to waste his energy on mundane affairs, so he asked him to go to the temple for meditation. .

Just now, Xiao Shunzi mentioned that Duan Haichao was asking to see him outside the door, but when he got busy, he forgot about Duan Haichao.

"Let him in!"

"Here!"

Afterwards, Xiao Shunzi brought Duan Haichao to the study.

After some greetings, Duan Haichao said: "Your Majesty, we can make psionic cannons now!"

"What?" Qin Wei was taken aback, thinking he had heard it wrong.

"Your Majesty, we can make spiritual cannons!" Duan Haichao said again.

Qin Wei stood up suddenly and said, "Really?"

It's not that he made a fuss, but that the psychic cannon is too important.

During the battle in the turbulent sea area, Dali got a lot of psychic cannons. There were four complete cannon ships alone, and hundreds of psychic cannons were dismantled from Shen Hai's cannon ships.

These psychic cannons have been allocated to the four major naval divisions, leaving only a few to the Formation Association as research samples for the Formation Association.

To be honest, although Qin Wei very much hoped that Dali would be able to research the method of making psionic cannons, he also knew that it would not be an easy task to make this thing.

You must know that in the entire western sea area, only the Daji Dynasty has the ability to manufacture psychic cannons.Even the Shenglan Dynasty and the Giant Spirit Dynasty couldn't make it.

Qin Wei doesn't think that Dali has surpassed the Shenglan Dynasty and the Giant Spirit Dynasty in the refining and formation industries.

So he didn't have great expectations for it.

But now Duan Haichao told him that Dali can make psionic cannons, how could he not be shocked?

"It's true, Weichen has already produced a sample. After testing, the power of the sample can reach [-]% of the power of the existing spiritual cannon, and the range is the same as the existing spiritual cannon." Duan Haichao said.

Qin Wei was extremely pleasantly surprised, and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, okay!"

"Haha~~"

He laughed.

With the psychic cannon, if they face the Giant Spirit Dynasty again, they won't have to be beaten passively.

In the previous battle in the stormy sea area, more than half of Dali's dead and wounded soldiers were caused by psionic cannons.

Now Dali can also make spiritual cannons, although the power is a little less, but this does not affect the role of spiritual cannons.

After being pleasantly surprised, Qin Wei asked, "How about the cost?"

"Uh! One course costs 300 million silver dollars!" Duan Haichao said in embarrassment.

300 million silver dollars for a cannon!
This cost is not generally high!

You must know that the cost of the warships of the Dali Water Division is only a few hundred thousand silver dollars.

This cannon is equivalent to ten warships!

But Qin Wei didn't care about these, and asked again: "Is it difficult to mass-produce?"

"It's a bit difficult, but it only needs to spend more time, manpower and material resources!" Duan Haichao said.

Qin Wei nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, let's make it!"

"I will ask the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department to fully support you. You must manufacture five hundred psionic cannons for us in the shortest possible time!"

When Duan Haichao heard this, his eyes widened!
Five hundred doors!
Damn, this is not a small amount!
"Five hundred doors may take two years!"

"Two years is two years!" Qin Wei waved his hand and said, "You can do it with all your strength!"

In Qin Wei's opinion, five hundred psychic cannons are not too many. Qin Wei felt that it would be enough to bring ten thousand psychic cannons.

But now it's just the beginning, and he can't ask for too much, so let's make five hundred doors first.

In the future, when Dali's psychic cannon manufacturing technology matures, he will think about expanding production.

For a dynasty, as long as they found a way to make it, the rest would be much easier.It is nothing more than money, manpower and material resources.

"However, I'm curious how you guys found a way to make psionic cannons?" Qin Wei asked.

He doesn't know much about formations and weapon refining, but as far as he knows, the psionic cannon involves many magic formations and weapon refining techniques that Dali doesn't know. Thoroughness is a difficult thing.

Duan Haichao explained: "Actually, the psionic cannons we made are not the same as those of the Great Ji Dynasty. We did not use the magic circles for the psionic cannons made by the Great Ji Dynasty, but the magic circles designed by Mr. Xiao himself. "

Qin Wei suddenly realized that he was looking for another way.

Xiao Yicai's formation level is seriously underestimated, because his understanding of formation is very different from all formation masters in this world.

It would not be easy for him to study the formation on the psychic cannon made by the Daji Dynasty, but it would be easier if he were asked to redesign a new psychic cannon based on the existing psychic cannon.

Now that the psychic cannon can be manufactured, shouldn't it be the next step to research and manufacture flying boats!

If Dali can make flying boats!
Qin Wei is full of expectations for Feizhou.

Because the flying boat can help a force touch the area restrictions.

If Dali has a flying boat, then Dali's power can be delivered beyond the western sea area.

But the flying boat is much more complicated than the psychic cannon, and the two are not at the same level at all.
