After a day of air battles, the magnificent palace of the Yuan Kingdom had been bombed into ruins by Feitian Camp, with ruins and bomb craters everywhere.

In the evening, the bombing of Feitian Camp ended, and the Tiger Division sergeants guarding the palace took action to clean up the ruins. Yuan Emperor Jin Zhen led a group of civil and military ministers out of the underground secret room, and he was furious when he saw the dilapidated palace in front of him.

"Huangfu's child has gone too far to bully others. I swear that I will fight you to the death!"

The civil and military ministers who followed Jin Zhen were also shocked by the dilapidated scene in front of them. The original appearance of the palace was completely gone. Even if Shengtian City was defended in the end, it would take a long time to restore the original appearance of the palace. Money must also be an astronomical figure.

"In just one day, the imperial palace was bombed into this state by Yan Jun's Feitian camp. Could it be that all my Feitian masters are just doing nothing? It's really unreasonable! Come on!"

General Zheng Pin of the Tiger Division who was guarding the palace immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands, "I'm here!"

"Zheng Aiqing, please immediately order people to find all three kings for me."

"Sir, obey the order!"

Zheng Pin cupped his hands, turned around and left quickly...

Jin Zhen had no choice but to take the civil and military ministers back to the underground secret room.

Two quarters of an hour later, Qi Hu, the king of the east courtyard who was guarding the northern city wall, hurried to the palace. Seeing the ruins in front of him, he immediately understood Jin Zhen's mood at this moment.

Before, Qi Hu only focused on commanding the Feitian Master to fight against the Feitian Camp. He never expected that the palace had been blown up by the Feitian Camp into such a state.

At this point, it was useless for Qi Hu to say anything, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the underground secret room. Seeing Jin Zhen's gloomy face, Qi Hu immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands, "My lord, pay homage to your majesty!"

Jin Zhen immediately stood up and came to Junhu, "Qing Aiqing, my palace in Dayuan has been turned into ruins. I have given full power to the Feitian Master to you to command. Is this the result of your command?"

Junhu quickly raised his hand and said, "I have betrayed your majesty's trust. I am guilty! Please punish me!"

Jin Zhen waved his hand, "Now that the matter is over, what's the point of me punishing you? Let's talk about the Feitian Master's battle damage!"

Qi Hu bowed his hand again, "Your Majesty, our Feitian Division lost more than a thousand hot air balloons in today's battle. More than 400 of them were hit by Yan Jun and fell into the city. After repairs, they should be able to continue to take off. After the battle, the remaining 600 hot air balloons flew out of the city, which is probably in danger. "

"So we lost more than 600 soldiers and hot air balloons in one day. How is the situation of Yan Jun's Feitian camp? How many of their hot air balloons did we shoot down?"

"Back to Your Majesty, every soldier in the Feitian Camp is armed with a musket. The range of the musket is far beyond that of bows and arrows. The Feitian Division cannot defeat them at all. But even so, the Feitian Division captured 203 hot air balloons in the Feitian Camp and captured two One hundred and three muskets."

Speaking of muskets, Yuanhuang Jinzhen's eyes lit up, "Qing Aiqing, can the muskets you captured continue to be used?"

"Your Majesty, those muskets are not damaged, but we don't have gunpowder, so they can't be used yet."

At the mention of gunpowder, Yuanhuang Jinzhen's expression changed, "Here comes someone!"

General Zheng Pin of the Tiger Division, who had been guarding outside, walked in quickly, "I'm here!"

Jin Zhen looked at Zheng Pin and said, "Zheng Aiqing, go to the Ordnance Department immediately and ask Hu Ka, the leader of the black guards, to come see me immediately."

"Sir, obey the order!"

Zheng Pin cupped his hands, turned around and quickly left the secret room.

At this moment, Emperor Yuan Jinzhen suddenly thought of something and immediately asked: "Qing Aiqing, since Feitian Master can seize Feitian Camp's muskets, how many bombs of Feitian Camp have we seized in total?"

Thinking of the powerful bombs, Emperor Yuan Jinzhen looked at Qi Hu expectantly, thinking that it would be great if he could seize some bombs from the Feitian camp. With the bombs, he would be confident enough to defend Shengtian City.

Qi Hu quickly raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, we have not captured Feitian Camp's bombs. As far as I know, once Feitian Camp's hot air balloons are hit by our Feitian Master, they will use up the bombs as soon as possible. "

The ideal is very full, the reality is very skinny, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. As soon as Qi Hu said these words, all expectations were shattered, and Yuanhuang Jin Zhen had to face the cruel reality in front of him.

At this time, Bai Jun, the King of the North Courtyard, and Wu Ba, the King of the West Courtyard, who were far away from the palace, also rushed to the underground secret room.

Yuanhuang Jin Zhen looked at the three kings and said, "Three beloveds, since the Feitian Master is not the opponent of the Feitian Camp, what are the next three beloved ministers' countermeasures?"

As soon as Yuanhuang Jin Zhen said these words, King Qi Hu of the East Courtyard immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, I think that although Yan Jun's Musket Battalion and Artillery Battalion are powerful, the Feitian Battalion will hit us the hardest."

"My countermeasure is to send troops to attack the Feitian Camp tonight and burn their hot air balloons. It would be better if some bombs could be seized from the Feitian Camp."

"I second the proposal!"

As soon as Qi Hu said this, the North Courtyard King Bai Jun and the West Courtyard King Wu Ba all stepped forward and cupped their hands, and then all the civil and military ministers in the secret room echoed their words.

Yuanhuang Jin Zhen nodded, "Qi Aiqing's night attack method is very good. Tonight's night attack on Feitian camp will be solely responsible for Qi Aiqing, with Bai Aiqing and Wu Aiqing fully assisting."

"Without further delay, the three dear friends will go back immediately to make a plan for the night attack. The operation tonight must only succeed and not fail."

"I obey the order! I resign!"

The three new kings all bowed their hands, turned around and left the underground secret room.

A quarter of an hour later.

Hu Ka, the leader of the black-clad guards, hurried into the secret room and bowed his hands respectfully, "My lord, pay homage to your majesty!"

Emperor Yuan Jin Zhen raised his hand, "Hu Aiqing, no need to be polite, how is the development of gunpowder? When will the Ordnance Department be able to produce gunpowder?"

Huka's face turned dark. To be honest, he was more anxious than anyone else about developing gunpowder, because it was not only related to his official career, but also related to his life and death.

But the production of gunpowder is not urgent. During this period, he gave the technicians in the Ordnance Department whatever they wanted, almost treating them as grandfathers. But even so, there was no progress in the development of gunpowder.

Huka bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, although there has been some progress in the development of gunpowder, there is still a long way to go before we can produce gunpowder. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will strictly urge the Ordnance Department to step up the development."

Emperor Yuan Jin Zhen nodded and said, "Hu Aiqing, pass on my decree. No matter who in the Ordnance Department develops gunpowder first, I promise to make him a duke and reward him with ten thousand gold."

"I obey the decree! I resign!"

Huka was overjoyed, thinking that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward. As long as someone in the Ordnance Department could successfully produce gunpowder, his position as governor would be secure. He cupped his hands with excitement, turned around and left the underground secret room.

Emperor Yuan Jin Zhen looked at the civil and military ministers in the secret room and said, "Dear ladies, I have worked hard for you today. Go home and have a good rest!"

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

All the civil and military ministers headed by the Prime Minister Wan Nuo bowed their hands and then left the secret room one by one.
