next morning
Xu Miaojin slowly opened her eyes, allowing the sunlight to bask in her perfect figure.
"Hmm?"
She suddenly sat up, her heart thumping wildly.
"How did I fall asleep last night?"
Xu Miaojin tried her best to recall. Only then did she remember that she had been marking official documents with Zhu Zhi until late at night. Zhu Zhi was still in high spirits, but she could not bear the tiredness and fell asleep in a daze.
Then, it seemed like Zhu Zhi carried her to the bed…
She quickly patted her body to make sure that nothing had happened between her and Zhu Zhi. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
He didn't expect this guy to be a gentleman and not take advantage of others when they were in danger.
However, to her surprise, Xu Miaojin was a little disappointed.
Was she not charming enough? Zhu Zhi actually did not have any crooked thoughts?
This also made Xu Miaojin feel indignant. If you don't pay attention to me, then I'll pester you!
……
"Ding!"
"Attack Xu Miaojin, current progress: 35/100”
Zhu Zhi, who was eating breakfast, was stunned when he heard the news.
What did eating breakfast have to do with attacking Xu Miaojin?
Zhu Zhi shook his head. Forget it, he didn't care anymore.
Just take it as an unintentional move. There must be something wrong with Xu Miaojin's brain.
……
The Construction Division that Ji Chuan was in charge of was still busy working.
Although Liaodong's No.1 Steel Mill was completed and could operate normally, the Construction Division buried their heads in building Guangning's No.1 Steel Mill.
Wangye said that Liaodong would be filled with steel factories!
Liaodong's No.1 Steelmaking Plant didn't disappoint Zhu Zhi. It produced 2000 catties of high-quality steel per day, and these high-quality steel were used in the newly built Liaodong's No.1 Munitions Factory.
Liaodong's First Munitions Factory was the first factory built by the Liao King's Mansion. It was a cold weapons factory that produced armors, swords, warhorses, and other military supplies.
With the high-quality steel produced by the steel mill, the arsenal continuously produced brand new armors and weapons.
This also caused Zhu Zhi to spend the funds allocated to the Construction Division and the Trade Division like water. Silver flowed away at a visible rate, but Zhu Zhi did not feel any heartache for this money.
The money was spent on his army and to improve the strength of the Liao King's mansion. None of it was spent on useless things.
This money was not wasted at all, because these 200,000 Liaodong elites were the army that would follow him to conquer the world in the future!
At the end of the sixth month of the 29th year of Hongwu, the Construction Division finally completed the construction of the Liaodong Cannon Factory and produced the first batch of 30 cannons.
As soon as the cannons were finished, Zhu Zhi rushed over impatiently.
……
"Wangye, take a look. What do you think of this cannon?”
Ji Chuan pointed at the heavy cannon, feeling rather happy.
In order to build this cannon, their Construction Division had more than 20 senior workers who had worked tirelessly to improve and finally built it.
Beside the cannon, other than the four cannoneers controlling the cannon, there were also Ji Chuan, Zhu Zhi, Xu Miaojin, and Guo Ying.
"It's not that I haven't seen cannons before, but I've never seen such a unique cannon before.”
Guo Ying was also confused by this cannon. He had seen many cannons, but he had never seen one like this.
"Your Highness spent so much effort just to make this ordinary cannon?" Xu Miaojin frowned slightly.”
"Ordinary?"
"Why do you think this cannon is an ordinary cannon?" Zhu Zhi laughed.”
"Gunners, get in position. Target the poplar tree 800 steps away!”
With his command, the six cannoneers quickly arrived at their designated positions and controlled the cannons.
"Target, south direction, distance, 800 steps!”
"Calibrate the position!"
"reload the shells!"
"Ready!"
"Fire!"
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, fire snakes spewed out from the cannon's bore. The cannonball mixed with black gunpowder flew out like a meteor. The sound of the cannon was like the wrath of a god of thunder!
"Boom!"
Everyone was shocked by the thunderous sound of the cannon. Only Zhu Zhi stared fixedly in the direction where the cannonball landed.
The towering tree was directly blown into pieces by this cannon!
Everyone gasped. What kind of power was this!
"Good!"
Zhu Zhi clapped his hands and cheered,"It's really a good cannon!"”
Guo Ying was shocked." I've never seen such a powerful cannon before. It's really divine!"”
His heart was completely messed up.
After Northern Yuan withdrew from Dadu, it remained entrenched in the northern grasslands, threatening the safety of the border. Zhu Yuanzhang was determined to strike with all his might to eliminate this threat for future generations.
When Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind, he chose General Lan Yu as the commander and commanded all 150,000 troops, hoping that the other party would settle the situation in one battle.
After Lan Yu led the Ming army into the vast desert, it was difficult to maintain the logistics. If they could not find an enemy, they would either return empty-handed or take the risk to advance, resulting in the entire army being wiped out!
This question finally came to Lan Yu. Facing the desert in front of her and the inaccurate news of the Northern Yuan palace, Lan Yu was very hesitant when she entered the vicinity of the Fish Catching Sea. From Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty, they had high hopes for this battle. Lan Yu herself also hoped to win and be on par with Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.
Fortunately, in the end, Lan Yu led the Ming army and defeated Northern Yuan.
But now, Guo Ying only wanted to sigh."If I had this cannon, why would I need to go deep into the desert? He would directly make Northern Yuan perish before it could leave the Central Plains!”
