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

Chapter 399: Shocked Ying Zheng, the new weapon is called cannon?

Ying Zheng nodded slightly after hearing Zhang Han's words, "Zhang Han, you are right. I think so too."

Just when Ying Zheng was about to speak, a eunuch walked in with a respectful look on his face.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers outside Xianyang City have sent back news."

"General Meng Tian has already taken his army on a ship and left Xianyang City."

"Prince Fusu also returned to Xianyang City with all the officials."

The eunuch came before the First Emperor and bowed.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly when he heard the eunuch's words, "I understand, you can leave now!"

When the eunuch heard what the First Emperor said, there was a hint of hesitation on his face. "Your Majesty!"

"The soldiers also reported that there were some black objects on the ship General Meng Tian was on."

"The ministers who went to see Meng Tian off were all very shocked when they saw these things."

The eunuch looked at the First Emperor and spoke again.

"Something black?"

When Ying Zheng heard the eunuch's words, there was a hint of doubt on his face.

There were some black things on the ship.

"What exactly is going on?"

Ying Zheng looked at the eunuch and his expression became a little serious.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers reported back that the black objects on the ship are new weapons created by the Mohist School."

"Master Fusu also knows about this!"

When the eunuch heard Ying Zheng's words, he quickly answered.

"Fusu?"

"Send Fusu to the study. I have something to ask him."

When Ying Zheng heard the eunuch mention Fusu, there was a hint of surprise on his face.

He quickly regained his composure and asked the eunuch to bring Fusu to the study.

"promise!"

When the eunuch heard what the First Emperor said, he turned around and hurriedly left the study.

Ying Zheng saw the eunuch leave and turned to look at Zhang Han: "Zhang Han, have you seen the new black weapon that the eunuch just mentioned?"

"Your Majesty, this is the first time I've heard of this."

Zhang Han said this with a hint of doubt on his face.

When Ying Zheng heard Zhang Han's words, he nodded slightly, his expression returned to calm and he waited for Fusu to come and explain.

The study became quiet again. Zhang Han stood straight without saying another word.

"Tap Tap!"

After a while, Ying Zheng heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

Ying Zheng looked up and saw Fusu hurriedly walking into the study.

"Your son Fusu pays respects to your father!"

Fusu came before the First Emperor and bowed.

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Fusu stood up and his face became calm.

"Father, what do you want me to do?"

Fusu looked at the First Emperor, bowed again and asked.

When Ying Zheng heard Fusu's words, he said, "Today you will take all the officials to see Meng Tian off with his army."

"I heard that there were some new black weapons on the ship Meng Tian was riding on."

"These new weapons were made by the Mohists, and the soldiers sent word that you, Fusu, also knew about these new weapons."

"I asked you to come here because I want to know what these new weapons are all about!"

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and asked directly about the new weapons on the ship.

Fusu was not at all surprised when he heard what the First Emperor said, the moment the cannons installed on the ship appeared in front of everyone.

Fusu was prepared, because his father knew that he would definitely ask him to explain the news.

"Father, the black weapons installed on the ship are called cannons."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and told him the name of the weapon.

"artillery?"

When Ying Zheng heard these two words, there was a look of confusion on his face. It was the first time he heard of a weapon called cannon.

"What kind of help can the new weapon, artillery, installed on ships bring to the army?"

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and told him his problem.

Now that the ship has left Xianyang City, Ying Zheng can only hear from Fusu about the effect that artillery can bring to the army.

"Your Majesty, I cannot explain the specific function of artillery in words."

"I beg you, father, to go out of the city with me and see the artillery in person."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and expressed his request. "That's fine. Reviewing memorials is a bit boring for me."

"Going out of town to look at new weapons can also help you adjust your mood."

"Zhang Han, prepare the car!"

"promise!"

A simple and elegant carriage passed through the Xianyang city gate and left Xianyang City.

Sitting in the carriage were Ying Zheng and his son Fusu, and Zhang Han was driving the carriage himself.

With the experience of having been here before, Zhang Han drove the carriage quickly to the place where he saw the ship last time.

"Your Majesty, please get out of the car!"

Zhang Han stopped the carriage and lifted the curtain.

When Ying Zheng heard Zhang Han's words, he nodded slightly and got off the carriage with Fusu.

Ying Zheng got off the carriage and looked at the surrounding scenery with a smile on his face.

I have to say that the Mohist school is good at finding places. The scenery here is very beautiful and very suitable for the Mohist school to create things.

"I, Mo You, greet your majesty!"

"Greetings to Mr. Fusu!"

Mo You hurried before the First Emperor and knelt down to pay his respects.

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Mo You heard what the First Emperor said, he stood up with a respectful look on his face.

"I came here today to see the new weapons and artillery on the ship."

Ying Zheng looked at Mo You and told him the reason why he came.

Mo You was stunned for a moment when he heard what the First Emperor said, then he came to his senses and looked at Fusu who was standing beside him.

Mo You felt relieved when he saw a smile on Fusu's face.

"I understand. Your Majesty, please come this way!"

Under Mo You's leadership, Ying Zheng walked to the river.

At this time, there were several members of the Mohist clan by the river, wiping something black.

Looking at this thing, Ying Zheng thought of the new weapon that the eunuch mentioned in the study.

"Mo You, what these young men are cleaning must be the new weapons and artillery on the ship, right?"

Ying Zheng looked at Mo You and pointed at the location of several young people.

"Your Majesty, what you saw was indeed the new weapon artillery created by the common people and the tribesmen."

"This is the kind of artillery installed on the ship General Meng Tian was riding on."

Mo You had a respectful look on his face and confirmed what the First Emperor had just said.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly when he heard Mo You's words and walked towards the position of the artillery.

When several Mohist disciples saw the First Emperor coming, they immediately knelt down and saluted.

Ying Zheng waved his hand to signal several young men to stand up, and Ying Zheng looked carefully at the cannon in front of him.

Zhang Han, who was standing next to Ying Zheng, was also attracted by the cannons in front of him.

It was also the first time he saw such a weapon, if no one told him that this was a new weapon.

Even if Zhang Han saw it, he would not think it was a weapon.

"I would like to ask Father to take a look at the power of the artillery."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and bowed.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly when he heard Fusu's words. He saw new weapons today.

If he didn't see the power of the new weapon, Ying Zheng would feel it was a great pity.

He also wanted to see how powerful the new weapon, artillery, was.

"I'm sure!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Fusu had a smile on his face when he heard the First Emperor's words.

Seeing Mo You use a look, Mo You nodded and turned to leave.

Fusu naturally wanted to let his father see the power of the cannon developed by his teacher.

"Father, please step back."

"The power of the artillery is enormous. I am worried that it will hurt my father."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor, and a serious look appeared on his face.

After hearing Fusu's words, Ying Zheng became even more curious about the cannon.

"I understand!"

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he turned and moved some distance away from the cannon.

Fusu and Zhang Han looked at each other, then followed the First Emperor's steps and moved some distance away from the artillery.
