The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 669
Everyone couldn't wait to ask what kind of artillery this is.

After being introduced by the officials, they learned that this kind of artillery was named the city-breaking cannon. As the name suggests, it was specially made for siege.Huge cannonballs, strong impact force, and a smaller city, just one shot can make the city wall collapse.No matter how strong the city wall is, it cannot withstand the continuous bombardment of cannons.

Everyone's face suddenly turned pale. If so, where else is safe in that day?What kind of city can stop the attack of the Tianhua army?Originally, they were still vigilant, but now there is only deep despair.

In fact, so far, Tianhua has only produced the five cannons exhibited below.This kind of cannon is so powerful that it can consume tens of thousands of catties of iron materials to build a cannon.

The bigger shortcoming is that because of the huge weight, it is difficult to carry out long-distance transportation.Moreover, the firing speed is slow, and every time it is fired, it will cause a lot of damage to the gun body. In other words, this kind of cannon can only be used repeatedly more than ten times before it will be scrapped.

But the envoys from various countries on the stage didn't know that, in their eyes, such a cannon made people unable to resist, and this was Lin Yifan's biggest purpose for taking it out.

However, what the envoys from various countries did not expect was that even though Lin Yifan brought out a large number of new weapons to participate in the exhibition.But these are not all the trump cards of Tianhuachao, the military equipment that is still kept secret, as well as hot air balloons and muskets.

Today's Gewuyuan, under the auspices of the geek Li Nanguang, has made a hot air balloon that can be used for aerial reconnaissance and throwing explosives.In the future, in the vast grasslands and steep mountains, you can use hot air balloons to see the terrain with a radius of tens of miles, and achieve the effect of anticipating the enemy.At the same time, it can also be used in siege warfare. By moving the hot air balloon over the city, you can find out the situation of the internal defenders. The army has no leader, and it will collapse without fighting.

As for muskets, Lin Yifan paid the most attention to his research.A batch of muskets has now been made and is being tested.If the actual combat requirements are met, he will build a musketeer team and continue to improve through battle after battle.Eventually, the entire army will be refitted with muskets to complete the conversion from cold weapons to hot weapons.However, this will take a long time, and it is still necessary to use knives and guns to resist the enemy's attack.

Of course, the current Gewu Academy is not only studying these two weapons. In the recently built navy, a large number of shipwrights have also been called to participate in the research of the Gewu Academy.

According to Lin Yifan's vision, he planned to let the Navy follow a three-step strategy for innovation.At the present stage, efforts are being made to strengthen the hull and improve the cannon mounted on the hull, so that the Tianhua Navy can become a mobile gunboat that can defeat the enemy several miles away.

In the second stage, it will focus on the navy and develop large-scale sailing warships, which can realize ocean navigation.

In the third stage, the iron armor of the hull is completed, the power no longer depends on the wind, and the speed is far faster than the sail.As for the first and second steps, Lin Yifan is confident that he can complete them in his lifetime. As for the third step, he will leave it to future generations to complete.

After inspecting the army, it will be late.According to the usual practice, after the founding of the country and ascension to the throne, it is natural to have a big banquet for all the ministers to celebrate together.

However, the minds of the ministers are not here, but the fourth imperial decree issued by the new emperor when the official morning court tomorrow.This imperial decree is the decree of rewarding the officials, which will establish the status of everyone in the court in the future.

After a night of fun with the host and guests, everyone returned home with excitement and anxiety, tossing and turning.Tonight, I don't know how many people lost sleep because of this.

In the early morning of the next day, the east had just dawned, and all the civil and military officials had already arrived, waiting to enter the palace.

Not long after, the etiquette officer walked out of the hall and shouted loudly: "All ministers enter the hall!"

Everyone immediately walked into Tianhua Hall in order according to their respective positions.

At this time, the lights in the Tianhua Hall were brightly lit, and the officials waited for them to line up and stand.Then I heard an etiquette officer shout: "Your Majesty is here! His Royal Highness is here!"

After a while, Lin Yifan dragged Lin Gan into the hall.

After Lin Yifan sat on the throne, Lin Gan also sat in a small chair on the lower right.All the ministers immediately fell to their knees and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

"Everyone loves you." Lin Yifan said calmly with his right hand on his hands.

The etiquette officer next to him immediately shouted loudly: "Get up!"

"Thank you, Lord Long En!" All the ministers got up one after another and straightened their clothes.

"Sit!" The etiquette officer shouted again, and the officials immediately moved to the chairs on both sides and sat down together.

And this is the unique benefit of the Tianhua Dynasty. In the past dynasties, the courtiers had to stand and listen to the court, so as to uphold the dignity of the emperor and maintain the majesty of the emperor.However, Lin Yifan felt that having a large group of people standing there, discussing the state affairs for several hours at every turn, was unbearable for any individual.Since it is discussing politics, wouldn't it be great for everyone to sit together calmly and discuss state affairs in a relaxed and happy manner?

In this regard, except for a few people who felt that Yu Li was inappropriate, everyone else felt that this move was very kind and agreed.

Next, Lin Yifan began to talk about all the difficulties and dangers of Tianhua's founding of the country, as well as the dedication and dedication of all the ministers, etc., and then ordered the ceremonial officer to start reading the fourth imperial decree.

Everyone tensed up immediately, and listened to the content of the reward with breathless concentration.

The ceremonial officer opened the imperial decree and read aloud: "Emperor Tianhua's edict says..."

After reading a bunch of compliments, the list of rewards was finally announced later.

Han Song assisted Lin Yifan for ten years before Tianhua established the country. Under his administration, Hengshan's internal stability allowed Lin Yifan to concentrate on fighting abroad, and finally conquered this large country.In terms of merit, Han Song ranks first.Today, he is still regarded as the chief assistant of the Tianhua Empire's cabinet, performing the duties of the prime minister, and he is also named Anguo Gong, who is listed in the Xingchen Pavilion.

Luo Yi was named a general, commanding the military mansion, and taking charge of internal and external military affairs.He was promoted to the rank of general, and he was also named Wei Guogong, who was listed in Xingchen Pavilion.

Feng Liuyue was made the elder of Tianhua, given the post of Grand Master, and was also named Fuguogong, who was listed in Xingchen Pavilion.

Chen Dengke was appointed as the dean of the Supervisory Yuan, who supervised all civil and military officials, and was also granted the title of superior waiter, ranking in Xingchen Pavilion.

Feng Qin Yuanhao, Zheng Han, and Hou Mingfeng are respectively General Zhendong, General Zhennan, and General Zhenxi.He was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and was granted the title of superior waiting, ranking in the Xingchen Pavilion.

Yang Mingyuan was appointed as the guardian of the north of the town, and he was in charge of the grassland.In addition, he was named the Duke of Ming Dynasty and ranked in the Xingchen Pavilion.

Murongkang was granted the title of Protector of Anxi, who was in charge of the Western Regions. He was also given the title of Dingguo Duke, who was placed in the Xingchen Pavilion.

Although these two were slightly inferior in military exploits, they were able to avoid the bloodshed and sacrifice of the soldiers because of their early submission and meritorious service in offering soil.In order to thank the two for their achievements, they were promoted to a high position on the stage to win people's hearts.

Feng Luofeng, Lu Zhan, Shi Shouyi, and Meng Tongwei were named General Zhengdong, General North, General West, General South, and were awarded the rank of Major General.In addition, the title is waiting, and it is ranked in the Xingchen Pavilion.
