Xu Miaojin, who had just said that the cannon was ordinary and had nothing special about it, was now stunned.
W-what was this?
He blew up a towering tree 800 steps away?？
What kind of shocking power was this!
"With this divine weapon, we can ensure peace on the border!”Guo Ying clapped his hands and cheered,"Get rid of the Hu Krupp and revitalize the Ming Dynasty!"”
"Just having cannons isn't enough. Right now, my Great Ming's cannons are mostly used for defensive battles.”
Zhu Zhi thought for a moment and said,"This King wants to create an artillery line that can advance and retreat, attack and defend!" Guo Ying, transfer 5,000 men from the 3 Guardians of Guangning to form the Liaodong Cannon Battalion and equip them with 80 cannons. Don't be stingy with the money. Use the money to train everyone in the Cannon Battalion to become godly cannoneers!”
"Yes!" Guo Ying agreed excitedly.
Such a divine weapon, why worry about Liaodong not prosperous?
Zhu Zhi's many months of hard work had not been in vain. He must have used his silver to create a cannon that surpassed this era by hundreds of years!
"Ji Chuan, this king will give you another 100,000 taels of silver to continue making cannons!”
Zhu Zhi turned to Ji Chuan and said," We'll first build eighty cannons and equip the Liaodong Cannon Battalion with them. Then, we'll continue to build them. Not only will we need to build cannons, but we'll also need to build cannonballs. We'll make our Liaodong Army invincible in terms of firearms!”
"Yes!"
Ji Chuan immediately agreed. Then, he paused for a moment and said,""Your Highness, there's another problem.”
"What is it?"
"Name." "This cannon doesn't have a name yet. I would like to ask Your Highness to give it a name."”
" Name..." Zhu Zhi was a little troubled.
Napoleon Cannon?
No way, no way. Napoleon was still 300 years away from being born. Moreover, this cannon was made by Zhu Zhi. What did it have to do with foreigners?
"How about the God Powered Cannon?"
Xu Miaojin suggested," Let's call it the Liaodong God Powered Cannon. Liaodong God Powered Cannon, Sweep the Hu Krupp!"”
"Good, this name is good."
Zhu Zhi nodded and acknowledged this name."Let's call it the Liaodong God Powered Cannon!"
The Liaodong God Powered Cannon was the Liaodong Army's first step.
In the future, his Liaodong army would be equipped with firearms that surpassed the era, allowing Liaodong to develop beyond the era and become the most dazzling pearl of this era!
……
The establishment of the Liaodong Artillery Battalion was not complicated. Firstly, Zhu Zhi had already taken control of the Liaodong Army. In Liaodong, he could deploy whatever he wanted.
Moreover, Zhu Zhi had transferred manpower from the three guards of Guang Ning to form the artillery battalion. The three guards belonged to the Liao royal guards. Whether it was in terms of regulations or in reality, the formation was completed very smoothly.
The Cannon Battalion was different from ordinary troops. It was the most strategic threat under Zhu Zhi's command for the next three years, so he had to hold it tightly in his hands and not let anything go wrong.
Ever since Zhu Zhi had given 700,000 taels of silver to the internal treasury, Old Zhu had always maintained a principle for Liaodong's policy-"”
Zhu Zhi's memorial didn't even need to be sent to the six ministries and the Imperial Clan Court before being handed over to the cabinet. Instead, he asked Wang Wei to send it to Jinling and let the Shadow Servant pass it to Old Zhu.
It was unknown how much trouble was left in this process. It was equivalent to opening up the road from the Liao King's residence to the Imperial Palace. As for Zhu Zhi's application, Old Zhu had directly passed it with a stroke of his pen.
This also reflected the importance of Zhu Zhi's seven hundred thousand taels.
If he didn't give the 700,000 taels, he would still be Zhu Yuanzhang's son.
He was Zhu Yuanzhang's good son.
Although it was only a word difference, it was like heaven and earth.
In the entire Great Ming Dynasty, there wasn't a single vassal king who could receive the treatment Zhu Zhi received today!
Except for Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen, who had already passed away.
The current Zhu Yuanzhang was completely raising Zhu Zhi as a second Zhu Biao!
It was just that the purpose of raising a son was different.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised Zhu Biao as the future emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised Zhu Zhi as Zhu Yunwen's future arm.
In Old Zhu's heart, Zhu Zhi was the future blade of Zhu Yunwen after he ascended the throne.
If the knife was not sharpened, how could it kill?
However, Old Zhu would never have thought that Zhu Zhi had never thought of being loyal to Zhu Yunwen.
Who is Zhu Yunwen?
Apart from official duties, Xu Miaojin, the concubine of the Liao Prince's residence, was also much more obedient.
Right now, she maintained the principle of "more": Look more, ask more, learn more.
Xu Miaojin's horizons had been broadened after following Zhu Zhi for these few days.
She had seen with her own eyes how the Liao Imperial Residence that ruled Liaodong operated. This huge machine was simply a miniature version of the Daming Dynasty!
And under Zhu Zhi's care, this machine even surpassed Da Ming in some aspects!
Now that Zhu Zhi dared to look around, there was no place in Great Ming that was stronger than Liaodong!
The most elite army, the best equipment, the richest treasury, the most advanced factories…
This was a beating that transcended an era!
Xu Miaojin also realized the gap between her and Zhu Zhi, so she obediently became Zhu Zhi's follower.
Compared to her status as the concubine of the Liao King, she was more like Zhu Zhi's secretary!
Zhu Zhi was the only person who could make Xu Miaojin lower her head.
