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

Chapter 391: Gunpowder and artillery are completed! Mo You invites Lin Xuan to test the power of artillery and gunpowder!
"Third brother, you are right. After returning, second brother will talk to Yun'er about this matter."

"If Yun'er also has this idea, Second Brother will fully support it."

"If Yun'er hadn't had such an idea, our Meng family wouldn't have forced it."

Meng Yi said with a smile on his face.

Meng Fang smiled when he heard Meng Yi's words. He believed that his feeling was not wrong.

No woman could resist a man as young and capable as Lin Xuan.

Fusu's residence, in the garden.

Lin Xuan sat in the garden, basking in the sun leisurely.

Ever since he helped the three Meng Tian brothers solve the problem at the dinner party, Lin Xuan has been very relaxed these days.

Fusu has been busy with court affairs these days and has come to the garden to talk to her less and less often.

Lin Xuan was still very happy. The busier Fusu was, the more trust the First Emperor had in him.

"Tap Tap!"

Lin Xuan heard footsteps and thought it was Fusu coming to the garden.

Looking up, I saw Mo You, the head of the Mo family, walking into the garden with a smile on his face.

"Meet Mr. Lin Xuan!"

Mo You came in front of Lin Xuan and bowed.

"Master Mo, you are too polite. Please take a seat!"

Lin Xuan poured a bottle of wine for Mo You and pushed it in front of him.

Mo You didn't hesitate and picked up the wine bottle and drank it all.

Lin Xuan looked at Mo You with a smile on his face: "Master Mo came here today, I guess there has been progress on the cannon and gunpowder!"

Mo You was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Xuan's words, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Sir, you are right."

"Since I got the method of refining gunpowder and the blueprints of artillery in the mansion."

"Mo You did not slack off at all, and led his people to refine gunpowder and build cannons day and night."

"Yesterday the gunpowder was refined and the cannon was built."

"Today, Mo You came to see you, sir, just to let you witness the gunpowder and artillery."

Mo You looked at Lin Xuan and told him the purpose of his visit.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly when he heard Mo You's words, "Since the gunpowder and artillery are ready."

"Of course I have to go and take a look. I also want to see the power of gunpowder."

Lin Xuan had a smile on his face as he spoke. He had been resting leisurely during this period of time.

Since Mo You came to invite him, he might as well take it as a chance to relax.

"Sir please!"

When Mo You heard Lin Xuan's words, a smile appeared on his face.

The completion of gunpowder and artillery is all related to Lin Xuan.

Mo You naturally hoped that Lin Xuan would witness it in person.

Lin Xuan and Mo You walked out of the garden, and the two of them left Fusu's mansion in Mo You's carriage.

The two of them took a carriage and quickly left Xianyang City.

Lin Xuan's face remained calm when he saw this scene, and he refined gunpowder and made cannons.

Naturally, it will not be carried out in Mohism, but a wide place should be chosen.

The carriage left Xianyang City and stopped after a while.

Lin Xuan and Mo You got off the carriage. Looking at the river in front of them, Lin Xuan had a smile on his face.

"The place chosen by the Mo family leader is very good. It is very spacious and sparsely populated."

"It is very suitable for refining gunpowder and making cannons, once the cannons are made."

"It can be installed directly on the ship, which also saves a lot of distance."

Lin Xuan looked at Mo You and expressed his thoughts.

Mo You was surprised when he heard Lin Xuan's words. Lin Xuan had guessed his thoughts.

Mo You soon felt relieved, because he knew Lin Xuan's abilities.

It was normal that Lin Xuan guessed my thoughts.

"Sir, you are right. Mo You chose to refine gunpowder and build cannons here."

"It is indeed for convenience, if you build artillery in Mohism."

"Once the cannon is successfully built, it will be sent here from Mohism."

"The artillery is heavy, so it will take some time to get it here."

"If we build the cannons next to the ship, the finished cannons can be directly installed on the ship, which can indeed save a lot of time."

Mo You looked at Lin Xuan and expressed his thoughts.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly after hearing what Mo You said, and said, "Master Mo, take me to see the cannon and gunpowder."

"this way please!"

Mo You heard Lin Xuan's words and walked in front to lead the way.

Soon, some disciples of the Mohist School appeared in front of the two of them, and they had two things in front of them.

Lin Xuan looked at these two things with a smile on his face.

The thing on the left is long with a hole in it, and there is a long line behind it.

On the right is a dark round sphere, looking at the artillery and gunpowder in front of it.

Lin Xuan was very happy. The Mo family's skills were indeed amazing.

The cannons and gunpowder created were very similar to his image.

"Sir, the gunpowder has been refined and the cannon has been built!"

"I haven't tried its power yet. Your coming today is a good opportunity for you to see the power of artillery and gunpowder."

Mo You looked at Lin Xuan and expressed his thoughts.

The Mohist disciples standing behind the gunpowder and cannons also had excitement on their faces.

After all, gunpowder and cannons were created and refined by them.

"Very good, thank you Patriarch Mo and other brothers!"

Lin Xuan looked at Mo You and the other Mo family members, and a smile appeared on his face.

Mo You smiled when he heard Lin Xuan's words and made arrangements for the Mo family members.

Push the cannon to the riverside and move the gunpowder to the riverside.

"What I want to do is to test the power of gunpowder."

“If we test it on the ground, it will cause some damage to the ground.”

"If we test it on a river, we can not only see its power but also it won't cause damage."

Mo You looked at Lin Xuan and explained his behavior just now.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly when he heard Mo You's words. He agreed with Mo You's approach.

Even if Mo You hadn't said it just now, Lin Xuan would have suggested conducting the experiment on the river.

"start!"

Mo You looked at a Mo family disciple and gave an order.

"promise!"

After hearing Mo You's order, the Mohist disciples put the spherical gunpowder into the cannon.

Another Mohist disciple lit the long wire behind the cannon.

Everyone looked at the long burning wire, and the Mohist disciples had a look of uneasiness on their faces.

Whether this artillery shell can be fired and whether it is powerful determines whether their efforts during this period are successful.

Lin Xuan looked at the artillery with a calm expression. The blueprint was given to him by the system.

As long as the Mohists build them according to the blueprints, there won't be any problems with the artillery and gunpowder.

Mo You's eyes were also fixed on the artillery, and he invited Lin Xuan to come today.

If the artillery and gunpowder do not perform well, Mo You will lose face.

As the head of the Mo family, he didn't want to lose face in front of Lin Xuan.

"boom!"

The long line was quickly burned and everyone heard the sound.

A round of gunpowder flew out of the cannon and fell onto the river.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a loud bang, the river water splashed huge water.

Mo Youhe and the Mo family disciples were stunned when they saw this scene. The power of the gunpowder just now was extremely huge.

If it hits the ground, a huge pit will appear.

If it hits where the enemies gather, they will be blown into pieces in an instant.

Soon the Mohist disciple reacted, his throat moved slightly and his face was excited. "Success!"

The Mohist disciples waved their fists with excitement on their faces.

The performance of the artillery and gunpowder just now is enough to prove that their hard work during this period of time is worthwhile.

Mo Yan also reacted at this time, and looked at Lin Xuan with excitement on his face: "What do you think, sir?"

Lin Xuan smiled when he heard Mo You's words, "The Mo family really won't let people down."

"Gunpowder has such a powerful effect when it hits the river water. If it hits where the enemy gathers, it will definitely cause great damage."

"The Mohists' efforts were successful."

Lin Xuanmo gave his praise.

These words were what he really thought, and he was impressed by the power of the gunpowder just now.

Lin Xuan was very satisfied. Such power was enough to cause great damage to the enemy.

Mo You was very excited when he heard Lin Xuan's words. Lin Xuan's words just now made him completely relieved.

"Speaking of which, you are really amazing, if you hadn't provided the method of refining gunpowder, I wouldn't have been able to draw the pattern of the cannon."

"It is impossible for me and the disciples of the Mohist School to succeed in refining gunpowder and building cannons."

Mo You looked at Lin Xuan and expressed his thoughts.

These words were what he really thought. The drawings and refining methods were indeed provided by Lin Xuan.

Mo You is not so arrogant as to blame all this on the Mo family.

Lin Xuan smiled when he heard Mo You's words and didn't dwell on it anymore.

"Since both the artillery and gunpowder were very successful, Master Mo can now work with his clansmen."

"Put the cannons on the ships. Only on the ships can the cannons play the greatest effect."

Lin Xuan looked at Mo You and expressed his thoughts.

Mo You nodded slightly after hearing Lin Xuan's words and said, "I will install cannons on the ship next."

"Gunpowder and artillery were both successful, and installing the artillery was just a small matter."

Mo You said this with a hint of confidence on his face.

Lin Xuan smiled and nodded. He believed in Mo's ability.

"Sir, you have already seen the cannon and gunpowder. Sir, you are busy, so I will not bother you any more."

"The carriage is ready. The coachman will drive you back to Master Fusu's residence."

Mo You looked at Lin Xuan with a smile on his face.

"Here comes the head of the Lao Mo family!"

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he walked to the carriage prepared by Mo You and got on it.

The coachman drove the carriage slowly away.

At Fusu's residence in Xianyang City, Fusu and Lin Xuan sat in the garden and talked.

"I have been very busy recently and have not come to greet you, teacher. Please do not blame me."

Fusu said with a trace of guilt on his face.

Fusu felt very guilty because he had not come to see his teacher due to the heavy workload at court during this period.

Lin Xuan smiled when he heard Fusu's words, "You are too polite, young master."

"Young Master is busy with court affairs, which shows that His Majesty trusts you."

"This is a good thing. I am so free and you don't need to come when you are busy."

Lin Xuan spoke to comfort Fusu.

When Fusu heard what his teacher said, he felt relieved.

"Students have nothing to do today, so they can chat with the teacher."

Fusu said this with a smile on his face.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly when he heard Fusu's words and said, "I have been attending court these days."

"Did your majesty say anything important?"

Fusu heard his teacher's words and said, "Nothing major has happened in the morning court these days."

"Just some trivial things, oh, there is indeed a big thing!"

As Fusu spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu's expression and asked, "What's the big deal?"

Fusu looked at his teacher and said, "This morning, Father once again mentioned attacking other kingdoms and tribes."

"The army has been recuperating for some time and has recovered."

"Father wants to send a general with a large army to continue attacking other kingdoms and tribes."

"This will weaken the potential enemy's strength and gain a lot of resources."

"With the great victory last time and the resources Meng Tian brought back."

"Almost all the ministers in the court agreed."

"I guess that the emperor will issue an order in the next few days to send a general with a large army to attack other kingdoms and tribes."

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan and told him what he thought was a big deal.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly when he heard Fusu's words. He was not at all surprised by the First Emperor's idea.

He had also mentioned this matter to Meng Tian at the dinner party before.

The First Emperor had great ambitions and a long-term vision, and the Qin Dynasty now has great advantages.

It is not the character of the First Emperor to let his advantages go unused.

"Teacher, what do you think?"

Fusu looked at his teacher and asked.

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and smiled, "Your Majesty wants to attack other kingdoms and tribes."

"I agree as well. Daqin has advantages that must be utilized."

Fusu smiled when he heard what his teacher said. It turned out that his teacher had the same idea as him.

"Teacher, do you think that the emperor will appoint brother Meng Tian as the commander of this attack?"

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan and continued to ask.

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and said, "Your Majesty, please remain calm."

"We will not let our guard down just because of the big win last time."

"In order to achieve victory in this attack, Your Majesty will most likely appoint Meng Tian as the commander-in-chief."

"Based on the experience of the last attack, Meng Tian is the best candidate for the commander."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and mentioned Meng Tian's name.

When Fusu heard the teacher mention Meng Tian, ​​a smile appeared on his face.

He also hoped that Meng Tian could once again serve as the commander-in-chief and lead the army to attack.

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu, who was smiling, and said, "Before your majesty issues an order."

"I will definitely ask you and other ministers about the selection of the commander."

"My lord, you must remember this if His Majesty asks you about the selection of your commander."

"Don't mention Meng Tian's name. You can answer that you will accept the appointment of His Majesty."

Fusu looked at the teacher with a serious expression, and felt a little confused:
"Teacher, you just said that the emperor is likely to choose Meng Tian as the commander."

"In that case, I don't think it's wrong for the student to recommend Brother Meng Tian."

Fusu looked at his teacher and expressed his thoughts.

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu who looked confident and said, "You are totally wrong to think so, young master."

"The last time General Meng Tian served as the commander, it was the young master who recommended him to Your Majesty."

"The ministers in the court are also aware of this matter."

"General Meng Tian returned triumphantly, and some ministers were jealous."

"The relationship between Prince Fusu and the Meng family is known to everyone in the court."

"This time, the young master continues to recommend Meng Tian as the commander-in-chief. These jealous ministers will definitely be very dissatisfied."

"Perhaps he will impeach the young master to His Majesty and recommend a minister with whom he has a good relationship."

"When your majesty hears the impeachment of these ministers, he will most likely give up Meng Tian as the commander."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and told him the reason why he could not recommend Meng Tian.

When Fusu heard what his teacher Lin Xuan said, the confidence on his face disappeared and a cold sweat appeared on the back of his neck.

He now completely understood why his teacher didn't want him to recommend him in case any minister really impeached him.

For the sake of the situation, my father will indeed give up letting Meng Tian serve as the main general.

Fusu stood up, looked at Lin Xuan and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for the reminder, otherwise I would have made a big mistake!"
