Chapter 207

Time flies, and a year flies by in the blink of an eye.

Jiangnan.

Boom~~!

In a certain remote barren mountain, there was a deafening loud sound suddenly, and then, a cloud of smoke rose from the foot of the mountain in the distance.

Seeing the billowing smoke and dust rising, a loud laugh came.

"Hahaha, hurry up, prepare the horse for me, I'm going to see the leader!"

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, in a magnificent government office in Yingtian Mansion.

Bai Shu, who was working, received a report from the guard.

"Master, the envoy Xin Zhang Banner please see me!"

"Xin Zhang Banner Envoy?"

Bai Shu was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a hint of surprise: "Please!"

Not long after, Xin Ran, the flag bearer of the Raging Fire Banner, walked into the study.

"Subordinates pay homage to the leader!"

Xin Ran bowed and saluted Bai Shu.

"Hurry up, envoy Xin Zhang Banner, you are asking to see me this time, but you have some good news to tell me?"

Bai Shu asked with a smile.

"The leader is wise, nothing can be hidden from you."

Xin Ran's dark face was full of excitement, and he said, "This subordinate has developed the cannon you mentioned!"

"Really?"

Hearing that Xin Ran really developed a new type of cannon as he guessed, Bai Shu couldn't help being overjoyed: "Xin Zhang Banner Envoy, you have made a great contribution!"

In fact, at the beginning of becoming the leader of Mingjiao, Bai Shu was very interested in the five-element flag full of various "black technologies", but at that time, various things happened one after another, so he had no time to get in touch with them.

It was only after he came to Jiangnan from Guangmingding a year ago that he began to get in touch with the Five Elements Flag while dealing with official duties.

Then, he discovered that with the iron smelting technology and various gunpowder knowledge mastered by the Five Elements Banner, it is completely possible to develop a real cannon.

Therefore, Bai Shu immediately taught Xin Ran some modern knowledge about gunpowder, iron smelting, and design, so that he could develop a cannon that is more in line with this era as soon as possible.

In fact, in the Yuan Dynasty, weapons similar to cannons had already appeared, but limited by various realistic conditions and the lack of theory, these cannons were more of an auxiliary equipment on the battlefield. cannot be a decisive factor.

However, as a modern person who traveled from later generations, Bai Shu naturally understood the importance of the phrase "truth is within the range of cannons" better than anyone else.

Therefore, after laying down Ying Tian Mansion as a position, Bai Shu immediately handed over modern gunpowder knowledge and forging knowledge to Xin Ran bit by bit.

However, this kind of teaching did not have an immediate effect. After all, Xin Ran and others are ancient people after all, and they can use those knowledge, but it will take time to fully understand it.

"Speaking of which, my subordinates are very ashamed."

Seeing Bai Shu's happy face, Xin Ran was embarrassed, "The leader passed on the knowledge to us, but we haven't researched the cannon that the leader said until now. I really dare not take credit for it."

In fact, to be honest, Xin Ran didn't take it seriously when Bai Shu wrote the knowledge into a book and gave it to him at first.

Although Xin Ran admires Bai Shu's military strength, he is still very proud when it comes to the research on firearms.

But Bai Shu is the leader after all, no matter how dissatisfied he is in his heart, he can only do research obediently according to what Bai Shu said.

After this research, he was shocked to find that all the knowledge he had mastered before was actually written in the book by Bai Shu!
What's more, the things that I had a vague premonition but wasn't sure about were also firmly written in the book by Bai Shu.

It wasn't until he continued the experiment according to Bai Shu's words that he truly realized what kind of secret book Bai Shu had given him——

As long as he fully understands the contents of this book and makes the various weapons described in it, he believes that the Mingjiao rebel army will have nothing but crushing power when facing the Yuan army in the future!
In the words of the Baishu book, it is a kind of technological crushing.

That's why he was so ashamed when he heard Bai Shu say that he had made great contributions.

"Xin Zhang Banner Envoy, what you said is wrong. Although I gave you the knowledge, it was you who made the knowledge into a real thing. I will keep your credit in my heart."

Bai Shu stood up and said, "Let's go, take me to see how the cannon you developed is doing."

"Yes!"

……

Soon, Bai Shu followed Xin Ran in a hidden manor.

When he came to the yard, Bai Shu saw many workers walking around, a busy scene.

Seeing that no one saw him coming with the leader, Xin Ran secretly glanced at Bai Shu, fearing that Bai Shu would be displeased.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual on Bai Shu's face, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to yell at him when Bai Shu stopped him.

"Xin Zhang Banner, let's go to see the cannon first."

Of course he wouldn't be angry because of these.

"Yes, Master, please follow me."

While leading Bai Shu forward, Xin Ran said apologetically to Bai Shu, "It's all because my subordinates are so used to them that they even forgot the rules."

"What rules?"

Bai Shu didn't take it seriously: "You scientific researchers... Oh, you craftsmen, you can turn all the knowledge I gave you into physical objects. This is the biggest rule."

"Yes, yes, this subordinate is ignorant."

Although he couldn't understand what Bai Shu meant by the scientific researcher, he knew that Bai Shu was not displeased by it.

Not long after, the two came to a cannon made of black iron.

This cannon is about 1.5 meters long and has a small caliber of only [-] mm. The whole body is divided into two parts: the gun mount and the gun body.

"Master, this is the 22-caliber cannon we developed based on the knowledge recorded in your book."

Caressing the steel cannon body of this cannon, Xin Ran seemed to be stroking the soft silk, his face was full of pride: "I have tested its power before going to see the leader, combined with the improved shells, its The range can reach seven miles, far exceeding the cannons of the current Yuan army, and the power is at least five times that of the Tartar artillery!"

"Go, take me to the shooting range to see the actual effect!"

Hearing Xin Ran's words, Bai Shu was not surprised. After all, this cannon looks the same as the current cannon on the outside, but it uses all kinds of modern knowledge inside.

Of course, compared to the real modern artillery, this cannon is not even qualified to be seen, but compared to other artillery of the same era, whether it is the handle design, rifling design, or other details, This cannon is Dad.

Pulling the cannon in a carriage to the shooting range, Xin Ran reloaded the cannon himself and demonstrated the power of the cannon to Bai Shu.

Boom~~!

Boom~~!

Boom~~!

Through the influence of modern shooting knowledge, Xin Ran has already mastered the use of the artillery crank scale, and all three consecutive shots accurately hit the intended target.

"it is good!"

Seeing the large cloud of smoke and dust rising from the foot of the mountain, Bai Shu's eyes were full of satisfaction; "Xin Zhang Banner, with this cannon, we will have more confidence when facing the Tartars."

Although it is said that he has absolute force now, as long as he is willing, there is almost no enemy leader that he cannot assassinate, but in fact, in this year, Bai Shu has never made a move at all.

Even half a year ago, during the conflict with the Yuan army, a Mingjiao rebel army was in desperation, and Bai Shu did not rescue it - because he knew that if he only relied on his own supreme force, his army would be defeated by others sooner or later.

It was also because of this that he valued this cannon so much.

Just like the US military remains the world's number one army despite all the scandals in later generations, Bai Shu knows deeply that only weapons and equipment are the foundation for an army to be strong.

With powerful weapons, the morale of an army will be greatly improved, while the enemy will quickly lose their fighting spirit, and the outcome is self-evident.

"Yes, I believe that with the advantage of cannons, it will be just around the corner for us to overthrow the Tatar court."

Xin Ran also said with great anticipation.
