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

Chapter 400: Ying Zheng sees the power of artillery! Ying Zheng meets Lin Xuan again!
Ying Zheng looked at the artillery in the distance with a hint of interest in his eyes.

Fusu and Zhang Han stood behind the First Emperor, while Mo You brought two clansmen to the cannon.

One of the tribesmen held a round ball of gunpowder and threw it into the cannon, while another tribesman lit the long wire on the cannon.

Watching the long line of the artillery being ignited, Mo You and two tribesmen took a few steps back.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The long wire on the cannon was completely burned out, and a piece of gunpowder flew out through the cannon's bore.

The gunpowder hit the river water and instantly exploded into a huge wave.

Ying Zheng, who was standing aside, was stunned when he saw this scene. It was the first time he saw a weapon of such great power.

The effect of the artillery just now shocked him greatly.

"Father, this is the power of the artillery. If this gunpowder hits the enemy's team, it will definitely cause a lot of damage to the enemy."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and explained the power of the artillery.

Zhang Han on the side was also stunned, and it took him a while to react.

As a military general who had fought on the battlefield for many years, it was the first time for him to see such a powerful weapon.

If it explodes on a river, it will have such a great power. If it explodes in a large enemy army, the power will be even greater.

After all, the effects of explosions on the ground and on the water are different.

"Fusu, I did see some new weapons today. The new weapon, the cannon, really opened my eyes."

Ying Zheng looked at the cannons placed on the shore with a hint of emotion on his face.

"Master Fusu, I wonder how many of these cannons are installed on General Meng Tian's ship?"

Zhang Han looked at Fusu with a hint of curiosity on his face.

When Ying Zheng heard Zhang Han's words, he also looked at Fusu.

He had already seen the power of the artillery, and he also wanted to know how many cannons were installed on the ship Meng Tian was on.

"Each cannon is very heavy so as not to affect the ship's movement on the river."

"The ship General Meng Tian was on only had six guns installed."

"The Mohists are still continuing to research artillery, if they can reduce the weight of the artillery without affecting its power."

"More guns can be added to the ship."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and Zhang Han and told them about the several cannons installed on the ship.

Ying Zheng heard Fusu mention that there were six cannons installed on the ship.

There was a smile on his face. If a single cannon had such great power, how much more powerful would it be if six cannons fired together?

Ying Zheng couldn’t think of it at all, and more importantly, the Mohist school was still continuing to research artillery.

Once the weight of the guns could be reduced, more guns could be added to the ship, increasing its power.

"Report to the Emperor!"

"If the ship is equipped with artillery, there is no need to worry about the enemy approaching the ship and destroying it."

"Once the gunpowder is fired, any enemy who tries to get close will be killed."

"This ensures the safety of the ship."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and pointed out the benefits of installing cannons on ships.

When Ying Zheng heard Fusu's words, a smile appeared on his face. The appearance of the cannon solved his worries.

He no longer had to worry about enemies sabotaging the ship.

"very good!"

"The Mohists really did not disappoint me, creating such powerful cannons and gunpowder."

"I will reward the Mohists generously, so that they will have more motivation to research artillery."

When Ying Zheng mentioned Mohism, there was a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Mo Youdai, all the members of the Mo family, thank your majesty for the gift."

Mo You, who was standing aside, knelt on the ground and bowed when he heard what the First Emperor said.

With the praise and reward from Your Majesty, Mohist life will become better.

"Be flat!"

"I have always rewarded those who have made contributions and punished those who have made mistakes."

"The Mohist school has made great contributions, so I will naturally reward you." Ying Zheng looked at Mo You and waved his hand.

Fusu, who was standing aside, had a smile on his face. The Mohist school had a good relationship with him.

Mohist was very happy to be praised by the First Emperor, but the First Emperor did not yet know the whole truth of the matter.

"Your Majesty!"

"The cannons were made by the common people and the tribesmen, and the gunpowder was also refined by the tribesmen."

"I dare not take all the credit for this. The reason why I and the Mo family members were able to build cannons and refine gunpowder is because of this."

"It's all because of Mr. Lin Xuan from Master Fusu's house."

Mo You looked at the First Emperor, bowed and mentioned Lin Xuan.

When Ying Zheng heard Mo You mention Lin Xuan, he was stunned for a moment, and Zhang Han beside him was also stunned.

Mo You just said that cannons and gunpowder are related to Prince Fusu's teacher Lin Xuan.

Ying Zheng quickly reacted, looked at Lin Xuan and asked, "What on earth is going on with Fusu?"

Zhang Han also reacted at this time and looked at Fusu.

When Fusu heard the Emperor's question, he said calmly without any nervousness, "Father!"

"The artillery built by Mo Youhe's people was based on the blueprints provided by my teacher Lin Xuan."

"As for the gunpowder refined by Mo Youhe and his people, the refining method and materials were also provided by the teacher."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and told him the truth.

When Ying Zheng heard Fusu's words, he was stunned. He did not expect the truth of the matter to be like this.

He was deeply impressed by Lin Xuan, who was able to draw the blueprints of artillery and knew how to make gunpowder.

Ying Zheng thought he already knew Lin Xuan very well, but now it seems that he didn't understand him well enough.

"Fusu, your teacher is really amazing. He can even take out both cannons and gunpowder."

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu with a hint of emotion on his face.

Zhang Han on the side also nodded. He agreed with what the First Emperor had just said.

Such powerful artillery was enough to let Zhang Han know how powerful Lin Xuan was.

"Since I know that the artillery and gunpowder are related to your teacher Lin Xuan, I still want to meet your teacher."

"If I don't talk to your teacher, I always feel like something is missing."

Ying Zheng said with a smile on his face.

Xianyang City, Fusu Mansion.

Lin Xuan sat in the garden, drinking fine wine and looking at the scenery, feeling very comfortable.

Fusu told him yesterday that today is the day Meng Tian will lead his army to go to war.

Lin Xuan was not nervous at all when he heard the news, with his own reminder and the artillery on the ship.

Meng Tian's triumphant return is inevitable, it's just a matter of time.

"Tap Tap!"

Lin Xuan suddenly heard footsteps, and it sounded like at least two people's footsteps.

Lin Xuan looked up, with a smile on his face.

Fusu and his uncle walked into the garden with their guards.

Ever since the three Meng brothers and Fusu's uncle knew his identity, they often came to the garden of Fusu's mansion to talk with him.

Lin Xuan didn't mind when someone came to talk to him.

"teacher!"

Fusu came in front of Lin Xuan and bowed.

"I am sorry to disturb your mood today!"

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Xuan with a smile on his face.

Ying Zheng saw Lin Xuan looking at the beautiful scenery and drinking fine wine just now.

"Young Master, you're welcome!"

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and his uncle and bowed in return.
