Old General Li is also a veteran who has seen countless dead people, but he has never seen a powerful weapon that can blow up everything with just one explosion.
If this thing is really used in war as King Shu said, as long as the ambush is prepared in advance, how terrible the damage to the enemy will be?
Old General Li found that he couldn't imagine such a scene. The shocking thunderstorm and the terrifying power. I'm afraid it only takes one round for the enemy army to be completely defeated, right?
In this way, my big Wu Erlang's chances of survival are increased by at least 30%.
If these 30% can be kept, will it still be difficult for Dawu to unify the four countries?
Old General Li turned to the Emperor Wu and said, "Your Majesty, it is safe and you can come over."
As the old general spoke, everyone began to gather together.
"vomit--"
Most of the generals were used to bloody scenes, so they were very calm after seeing bloody things and internal organs.
But the civil servants were different. All of them turned pale and ran to the side to vomit.
The tragedy around them was deeply remembered by everyone.
They still can't forget the loud noise that sounded like divine lightning coming down from the Nine Heavens.
This kind of power is too terrifying.
This time, Li Zhao's gunpowder directly silenced everyone.
Even Emperor Wu didn't expect that that small packet of gunpowder could have such terrifying power.
No wonder Li Zhao said that this would change the entire world.
Emperor Wu's eyes were sharp and his expression was extremely serious. No one knew what he was thinking.
If Li Zhao secretly invented something like this but didn't report it, even if the Secret Service reported it, he probably wouldn't care too much.
After all, Li Zhao's original purpose was to dig mountains and quarry rocks. Such things may be somewhat taboo, but they would not arouse his suspicion.
Given time, as long as Li Zhao secretly expands production and hides the truth from others, as long as he is determined to covet the throne, with the power of this thing, as long as Li Zhao arranges it properly, the throne will be easy.
But Li Zhao turned it in as soon as he discovered it, even earlier than the Secret Service reported it.
Emperor Wu felt a little more guilty about Li Zhao. No one knew that he was actually observing Li Zhao.
He himself came up from the throne and knew the allure of this position.
Doesn’t Li Zhao not want to?
But this incident gave Emperor Wu a severe slap in the face, because if it were him, he really might not hand over the things.
As long as Li Zhao didn't talk about it and didn't take the initiative to display and develop it, who would have thought of its huge power?
Unthinkable at all.
But Li Zhao didn't keep it secretly at all. He not only reported it but also wrote it in detail. What can it be used for?
Don't hide anything private at all, completely entrust it to the court.
What does this mean?
It shows that he really has no intention of thinking about the throne. His purpose of developing these things is not to compete for the throne, but to develop.
However, he happened to find another use for it.
When Emperor Wu was silent, Prince Zhao and others were also silent, and they were also thinking about this matter.
As a member of the imperial court, I always take one step at a time and see the next.
Gunpowder does shock them, but they don't just look at the shocking side, and can often trigger more ideas.
For example: King You doesn’t hide his secrets?
They were all old foxes. Seeing Emperor Wu's face changing, they could probably guess what Emperor Wu was thinking.
Those civil servants also felt a little bitter. To be honest, the most common reason they used to criticize Li Zhao was to prevent Li Zhaowei from rebelling.
First, his resources were blocked, and then his actual number of Youwang Guards were blocked.
But what's the result?
With such a huge weapon with astonishing destructive power, King You would hand it over as soon as he said it. Would the other princes really be so honest?
After silence, Emperor Wu finally spoke: "My lords, what do you think of this thing?"
Of course Emperor Wu was not showing off, he was asking seriously.
General Li immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the thing presented by King You can be regarded as an important weapon of the country. It must be held tightly in the hands of the court. Private trading of this thing is not allowed."
As a veteran of the court and the Optimus Prime of the military, his words carry great weight.
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
Left and right pushers took the lead in taking the civil servants to express their stance.
As for the generals, the generals also clasped their fists and agreed. This kind of matter is a bit sensitive and no one dares to touch it.
Emperor Wu also had this thought in his heart, but sometimes, he couldn't be allowed to say such things, and the ministers had to speak.
"From now on, the formula of gunpowder will be returned to the imperial court and will be studied intensively by the imperial court!" Emperor Wu immediately made a decision: "Allocate manpower from the general supervisor to supervise the construction of a new general supervisor in a secluded and safe place, and only produce gunpowder!"
The generals' eyes became intense. If enough of this product was produced, how terrifying it would be when the national war actually breaks out.
"Shang Shu!"
"I'm here!" Fan Qiuli stood up immediately.
"Research on gunpowder is urgent, raise the priority level!" Emperor Wu stared at Fan Qiuli and said: "I will give you a list later. Only you can know about this. The procurement task is left to you. The expenditure of the Ministry of Household Affairs must give priority to gunpowder. .”
"I obey the decree!" Fan Qiuli did not refuse.
No civil servant would refuse this time.
On the contrary, everyone had a hint of excitement on their faces.
Although they all dislike King You, they have to admit that every invention of King You gives them hope of victory in the national war.
The problems of money, food, and agricultural tools have been solved, and now even weapons of mass destruction have been produced.
In a few years, if the Wu Kingdom cannot unify the world, then they will be sinners.
This is the most favorable opportunity to end more than a hundred years of division.
If unified, they will be remembered in history and respected by thousands of people.
This is such an honorable thing, who would refuse it?
"King of Shu!"
"Brother Chen is here!"
"You're in charge of overseeing the work!"
"Chang Lin!"
"The old slave is here!"
"King You has written it clearly in the letter. Remember not to break the rules set by King You!" Emperor Wu said coldly.
"yes!"
Everyone's hearts froze.
This actually has two meanings. The first one is that gunpowder can only belong to the royal family and cannot be accessed by outsiders.
If anyone dares to get involved, he will definitely break his face.
The courtiers are not yet bold enough to do so, so they dare not think too much.
The second meaning is to beat the major aristocratic families.
King You's business must still be carried out according to the previous rules and cannot be disrupted.
It's time that the money earned by King You cannot be less, and the three-month protection period cannot be less than one day.
If anyone dares to break the rules, Emperor Wu will definitely kill him!
Seeing that everyone had received the signal, Emperor Wu turned and smiled and said: "King You has made great contributions to the country and the people. Such great contributions must not be unrewarded."
"..."
Everyone's face turned green.
The tense atmosphere just now dissipated, and everyone just wanted to curse.
Emperor Wu is really a bit shameless.
