Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 388: Ships are equipped with artillery, focusing on a strong force!
Lin Xuan looked at Mo You and Mo Xueer who were puzzled, and said, "This thing on the lower tube pattern is called a cannon."

"artillery?"

When Mo You and his daughter Mo Xueer heard Lin Xuan's words, they looked at each other with confusion on their faces.

It was the first time for both of them to hear the name "cannon".

Lin Xuan looked at Mo You and the other two and continued, "Just now, the head of the Mo family said that if you want to make gunpowder work effectively, you need the right method."

"The cannons you two saw can just make the most of the power of gunpowder and process the refined gunpowder into a ball shape."

"Then put the ball of gunpowder into the cannon, light the fuse and the cannon will push the gunpowder out."

"This way, when the spherical powder falls to the ground, it will create an explosion effect."

"Enemy within a certain range of the spherical gunpowder explosion will be eliminated."

Lin Xuan looked at Mo You and Mo Xueer and explained the function of the artillery.

Mo You and Mo Xueer had looks of surprise on their faces; they didn't expect that gunpowder could be used in this way.

The two of them imagined the scene that Lin Xuan had just described in their minds. If it were really as Lin Xuan said.

Using a cannon to push gunpowder out can indeed maximize the effect of gunpowder.

After realizing this, Mo You and Mo Xueer showed excitement on their faces.

"Sir, you are truly amazing. Not only do you know how to make gunpowder, you also provide the cannon that can unleash the power of gunpowder."

"Daqin has artillery and gunpowder, which will make Daqin even stronger."

Mo You said this with excitement on his face, while Mo Xueer beside him looked at Lin Xuan.

There was a hint of admiration in her beautiful eyes, as a disciple of the Mohist School.

Mo Xueer has always been interested in mechanical engineering and the like, ever since the Mo family came into contact with Lin Xuan.

What Lin Xuan provided several times shocked Mo Xueer.

This time, he provided gunpowder and artillery for use in the army, which made Mo Xueer admire Lin Xuan even more.

"Master Mo, you are too polite. I am just lucky."

Lin Xuan said with a smile on his face.

Mo You nodded slightly when he heard Lin Xuan's words. He had some understanding of Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan is a humble person, and Mo You has gotten used to it.

"With the gunpowder refining method provided by you, it is not difficult for the Mohist School to refine gunpowder."

"As for the artillery, I need some details."

Mo You looked at Lin Xuan and expressed his thoughts.

The cannon Lin Xuan gave him was just a blueprint. Mo You needed more details if he wanted the Mo family to build the cannon.

Hearing Mo You's words, Lin Xuan nodded slightly and said, "I have already thought of this."

"This is the detail that needs to be paid attention to when building artillery, the Mo family should pay attention to it."

"The outer body of the cannon cannot be made of ordinary iron, otherwise the gunpowder will not be able to be pushed out of the cannon."

"It will also cause the artillery to explode, which will injure our own people."

Lin Xuan took out another piece of white paper covered with handwriting and handed it to Mo You.

Mo You and Mo Xueer looked at the handwriting on the white paper and their expressions became serious.

After a while, Mo You put down the white paper, looked at Lin Xuan and said, "There is this piece of paper from you, sir."

"Mo You has already figured out how to build the cannon, as for the outer body of the cannon."

"Moyou will also consider the materials carefully, and there will be no artillery explosion."

Mo You looked at Lin Xuan and made his promise.

With the artillery details provided by Lin Xuan, Mo You already has the confidence to build the artillery with the Mo family members.

When Lin Xuan heard Mo You's words, a smile appeared on his face. He believed that what Mo You said was true.

Lin Xuan still admired the Mohist mechanical technology.

"Sir, you have built a cannon. How are you going to use it?"

"Are we going to send artillery to the border to stop the enemy's invasion?"

Mo Xueer looked at Lin Xuan and expressed her thoughts.

The cannon must be used in the army. Mo Xueer wants to know how Lin Xuan plans to use it.

Mo You nodded slightly when he heard Lin Xuan's words. He and Mo Xueer had the same idea.

After hearing what Mo Xueer said, Lin Xuan said, “The artillery that was built is very heavy.”

“It will take some time to transport it to the border.”

"Besides, the Xiongnu enemies on the border have been driven out of the plains."

"Plus, there are two generals, Han Xin and Wang Ben, at the border. Even if we send the artillery to the border, it won't be able to play its role."

Mo Xueer and Mo You nodded slightly when they heard Lin Xuan's words. There was no longer any crisis at the border.

It would be a waste to send powerful artillery to the border.

Lin Xuan looked at the silent Mo You and Mo Xueer and continued, "General Meng Tian took tens of thousands of troops on a ship to conquer other kingdoms and tribes."

"You two also know that General Meng Tian returned with a great victory this time and brought back a lot of resources."

"I believe that in the future, Your Majesty will send generals on ships with large armies to conquer other kingdoms and tribes and bring resources back to Daqin."

"In this case, the ship is very important. The Mo family built the ship themselves and knew every part of the ship very well."

"I think it would be better to install the guns on the ship so that the ship would not become a sitting duck."

"If an enemy wants to get close to the ship and destroy it, we can ignite the cannons on the ship to repel the enemy."

"This way, we can not only kill the enemy but also protect the ship from being destroyed. What do you think of my idea?"

Lin Xuan looked at Mo You and Mo Xueer, father and daughter, and expressed his thoughts.

Before coming to Mohism, Lin Xuan thought about it seriously again.

After the cannon was built, how should it be used? In the end, he still believed that his original idea was the most correct.

Daqin will need to take a ship on an expedition next, and the artillery on the ship will provide an extra layer of protection.

Mo You and Mo Xueer were stunned when they heard Lin Xuan's words. They, the father and daughter, had not expected this.

Lin Xuan wanted to install the cannon he had built on the ship.

After a while, the two reacted and looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

"Mr. Lin Xuan, your idea really surprised Mo You."

"Mo You would never have thought of installing cannons on a ship."

Mo You said this with a look of emotion on his face, and Mo Xueer beside him nodded slightly.

She also hadn't thought of installing guns on the ship.

Lin Xuan smiled and said nothing.

"Mo You thinks your method is feasible, sir. The ship was drawn by sir."

"This was built by me and my clansmen. I have full confidence in this ship."

"Such a good ship really doesn't have the ability to save lives. Adding artillery to the ship can protect the ship and repel the enemy."

"Mo You agrees with your decision, sir. The cannon will be installed on the ship after it is built."

Mo You looked at Lin Xuan and expressed his thoughts.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly when he heard Mo You's words. The thing he came here for today was finally completed.

The Mohists could make cannons and refine gunpowder, and they could also install the cannons on ships.

"Since Master Mo agrees with my idea, I will say a few more words."

"I think it would be enough to place three guns on each side of the ship at the beginning."

"If the artillery on the ship is used effectively in the next expedition."

"But it would be best to add a few more artillery pieces and proceed step by step."

Lin Xuan looked at Mo You and once again put forward his idea.

Mo You pondered for a moment after hearing Lin Xuan's words, and after a while he said, "Too much is as bad as too little."

"You are right, sir. We don't need to add too many guns to the ship at the beginning."

"After all, the effectiveness of artillery on ships still needs to be tested."

"If the effect is good, it won't be too late to add more artillery."

Lin Xuan was completely relieved when he heard Mo You agreed with his point of view.

"Since Master Mo already knows, I will take my leave first!" "How about you stay and have dinner with us, sir?"

Mo You glanced at Mo Xueer beside him, then looked at Lin Xuan and said.

When Mo Xueer heard what her father Mo You said, she lowered her head and her cheeks blushed slightly.

"I appreciate Master Mo's kindness. Master Fusu still has something to discuss with me."

"Today I will not be able to have dinner with Master Mo. I will wait until the cannons and gunpowder appear."

"I will get drunk with Master Mo!"

Lin Xuan looked at Mo You and refused.

When Mo You heard Lin Xuan's words, there was a look of loss on his face, but soon Mo You's face returned to normal.

"Since it is Master Fusu who has something to discuss with you, Mo You will not force you to stay."

Mo You looked at Lin Xuan and said with a smile.

"Master Mo, Miss Mo Xueer is leaving!"

Lin Xuan stood up, looked at Mo You and Mo Xueer, clasped his fists and saluted, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Sir, walk slowly!"

Mo You and Mo Xueer looked at Lin Xuan and stood up to return the greeting.

Under the gaze of Mo You and Mo Xueer, Lin Xuan got on the carriage and left the Mo family.

Soon the carriage disappeared from the sight of Mo You and Mo Xueer. Mo You looked at his daughter beside him with a look of loss on his face.

"Xue'er, you must be very disappointed that you couldn't keep Lin Xuan to have dinner with you."

"Father!"

Mo Xueer lowered her head when she heard Mo You's words.

Mo You looked at the direction where Lin Xuan left, then looked at his daughter and said, "I have been in contact with Lin Xuan during this period of time."

"Lin Xuan is so young, yet he has such powerful abilities."

"I also admire him very much. More importantly, Lin Xuan is also Master Fusu's teacher."

"Mr. Fusu now has great prestige in Daqin, and the nobility also think highly of him."

"Father can see that Fusu respects his teacher Lin Xuan very much."

"If you can marry Lin Xuan, you will be very happy for the rest of your life."

"Father has nothing to worry about. Father supports you."

Mo You looked at Mo Xueer and expressed his thoughts.

Not many people know Lin Xuan now, Mo You believes it.

Once Lin Xuan's identity was known to the ministers in the court, Lin Xuan's ability and the fact that Lin Xuan was the teacher of Prince Fusu.

There must be many ministers who want to marry their daughters to Lin Xuan.

Once his daughter marries Lin Xuan, the status of this minister and his family will also increase.

His daughter has a crush on Lin Xuan, if only he could do it before Lin Xuan reveals his identity.

Since Lin Xuan married his daughter, Mo You had no regrets.

"Father!"

When Mo Xueer heard her father's words, her cheeks turned even redder. She stamped her feet, turned around and hurried into the mansion.

Mo You looked at Mo Xueer's shy look and walked into the mansion with a smile on his face.

Next, the Mohist school would be busy again, not only refining gunpowder but also building cannons.

Fusu Mansion in Xianyang City!
In the hall, Fusu sat in the main seat and Lin Xuan sat on Fusu's left.

Fusu asked his teacher Lin Xuan to sit in the main seat, but was rejected by his teacher.

The teacher told him that today was not the day for the two of them to have dinner together after all.

With the arrival of the three brothers of the Meng family, Fusu, as a prince, naturally has to have the demeanor of a prince.

After hearing what his teacher said, Fusu stopped refusing and sat in the main seat.

Have your teacher sit on your left.

Lin Xuan looked at the empty hall. He seldom came to this hall.

Today Fusu prepared a dinner to congratulate Meng Tian on his triumphant return.

Fusu also found him and asked him to attend the dinner. Lin Xuan thought of the relationship between the Meng family and Fusu.

He did not refuse and went to the hall with Fusu.

"My lord!"

"General Meng Tian and the two Lords Meng Yi and Meng Fang have already arrived outside the palace in their carriages!"

The butler walked into the hall and bowed to Fusu with a look of respect on his face.

"very good!"

"Bring General Meng Tian and the other two to the hall!"

"promise!"

When the butler heard Fusu's words, he turned around and left with a respectful look on his face.

"Teacher, the three brothers of the Meng family will be in the hall soon. I believe that the teacher will have to answer many questions today."

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan with a smile on his face.

Lin Xuan smiled when he heard Fusu's words and said, "It is a pleasure to talk with the three brothers of the Meng family."

Fusu felt relieved when he heard what his teacher Lin Xuan said. He was just worried that his teacher would be impatient.

After all, my teacher prefers a leisurely life.

"Tap Tap!"

Lin Xuan and Fusu heard the footsteps of several people.

The two looked outside the hall, and just then the butler brought Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi and Meng Fang into the hall.

"Greetings, sir!"

Meng Tian and the other two looked at Fusu and bowed in greeting.

"Thank you for being polite, my three brothers. This is not the Qilin Palace but my residence. Today is a family dinner, so there is no need to be polite."

Fusu looked at Meng Tian and the other two with a smile on his face.

"Meet Mr. Lin Xuan!"

Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi and Meng Fang turned to look at Lin Xuan and bowed again.

"You're welcome, three!"

Lin Xuan stood up, looked at Meng Tian and the other two, and bowed in return.

"Three brothers, please take a seat!"

Fusu waved his hand and Meng Tian and the other two sat down.

"promise!"

Meng Tian and the other two walked to the right and sat down one by one.

All three of them had smiles on their faces. Today, Prince Fusu was celebrating Meng Tian's success in his mansion.

Fusu's teacher Lin Xuan also came to the hall, and the three of them were very happy.

"Brother Meng Tian has returned triumphantly. This cup of wine is from me to congratulate Brother Meng Tian."

Fusu raised the wine jar and looked at Meng Tian with a smile on his face.

Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi and Meng Fang were three people. When they heard Fusu's words, they hurriedly picked up the wine jar.

"You are too polite, sir. As a general of the Qin Dynasty, this is what Meng Tian should do."

Meng Tian said this with a humble look on his face.

Your Majesty and Prince Fusu value him and their Meng family, so Meng Tian himself cannot be complacent.

We must always remain humble, only in this way can we make the Meng family better.

"Dry!"

Fusu raised the wine jar and drank it all in one gulp. Lin Xuan, Meng Tian and others also drank the wine in the jars.

"My three brothers, today is a family dinner. Feel free to say anything you want to say."

Fusu was afraid that the three Meng brothers would feel restrained in the hall of his mansion, so he reminded them again.
