When the court was held the next day, when the ministers had finished discussing the court affairs and were preparing to go to court, Jiang Nuan spoke up.
"Report Imperial Father, I have something important to report."
This is the "first time" Jiang Nuan has spoken out in court.
Her sudden voice surprised Jiang Yunsheng.
"Oh, Nuannuan, what do you have to say?"
"Back to Imperial Father, when I was leaving the palace a few days ago, I saw a carriage almost hit an old man, so I asked Chunhua Qiuyue to rescue him.
Unexpectedly, the old man insisted that he was some kind of hermit master, and my daughter didn't believe it at first. He gave me the blueprint of a small toy, saying it was very powerful, and asked me to get it out and hand it over to Imperial Father.
Now that thing has been made, I would like to invite Imperial Father to take a look."
Jiang Yunsheng also knew about making Gunpowder. After all, those Alchemists still came from him, but Jiang Nuan concealed how she got the blueprint of Gunpowder.
[Grandpa, this is a good excuse. If you come up with any messy things in the future, just use this excuse.]
Unable to explain how her novelty came about, Jiang Nuan decided to invent the image of a reclusive grandpa.
As for why there is no trace of him, isn't it normal for a reclusive person to be erratic? Whenever he has trouble, he always comes to Jiang Nuan himself.
Jiang Nuan nodded affirmatively in his heart, this is a good excuse.
The ministers almost couldn't hold back their laughter when they saw Jiang Nuan talking nonsense with a serious face.
You are still looking for excuses to pretend! Ninth Princess Do you know that your inner voice has completely exposed you?
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll go and see if any of the ministers want to follow you?"
Jiang Yunsheng has been looking forward to Gunpowder for a long time. Now that I finally heard the news, I feel a little excited.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to follow you!"
"I am also willing!"
The ministers below responded one after another.
So, Jiang Yunsheng brought Jiang Nuan and a group of ministers to Martial Arts Training Ground of Capital City.
Jiang Nuan has ordered those Alchemists to bring ten Hand Cannon over.
These Hand Cannon are not Hand Cannon in the traditional sense, but more like a simplified version of Red Barbarian Cannon.
After those Alchemists came up with Hand Cannon, they spontaneously began to study the more powerful Gunpowder, and this is how New-Model Hand Cannon appeared.
Several generals gathered in front of Hand Cannon. After looking at it, they couldn't see anything strange about this lump of iron. They were skeptical about Jiang Nuan's claim of great power.
Ninth Princess has never experienced a war, nor has they seriously seen the power of those weapons. They have no idea what powerful power is. They should not have too much hope, lest they be disappointed.
With this idea in mind, the ministers were ready to see how Jiang Nuan showed them the power of this.
"Here are some soldiers. You go and lift some stones that are half a man's height. Place them in that position. You can lift thirty or forty stones and that's enough."
Jiang Nuan pointed to a place fifty meters away and said.
The soldiers were very capable of execution and soon laid out the stones according to Jiang Nuan's words.
Alchemists, who was standing aside, brought a torch.
"Imperial Father, this ignition process is up to you."
Jiang Nuan took the torch and held it in front of Jiang Yunsheng.
"Okay."
Jiang Yunsheng took the torch and lit the fuse according to Jiang Nuan's instructions.
The fuse slowly burns out and finally enters the fire system.
I saw Hand Cannon start to shake, and the next second, a black projectile shot out from the mouth of Hand Cannon, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke began to spread.
The projectile carried the force of breaking through the air and flew towards the group of rocks in the distance.
All the ministers couldn't help but began to hold their breath and stared straight at this scene.
In the blink of an eye, the projectile fell into the rocks.
The hard stones facing the projectiles immediately fell into pieces and were launched towards the surroundings. The nearest stones were directly shattered by the impact of the remaining power.
After crushing the stone, the projectile hit the ground, stirring up bursts of dust.
"Oh my goodness! Is this power real?"
One of the generals was shocked.
"Someone pinch me, am I dreaming?"
A minister murmured.
The minister next to him immediately pinched the soft flesh on the inside of his arm and pinched it hard.
"Ouch, it hurts me to death!"
The minister cried out in pain.
The minister who pinched the person said to him, "Does it hurt?"
The minister who was pinched immediately rolled his eyes.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
The minister who pinched the person nodded and said:
"It seems like it's not a dream, it's real!"
"If you want to know if it's a dream, you can just pinch yourself, so why are you pinching me?"
The minister who was pinched was helpless. He just said this and didn't really want anyone to pinch him!
Did he just talk and talk and know?
"Because I can't do anything to myself!"
The minister who pinched the person said honestly.
Good guy! Are you going to be cruel to him if you can't do it to yourself? Is this really good?
The pinched minister was helpless.
All the ministers looked shocked, and it took them a while to come back to their senses.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Jiang Yunsheng clapped his hands and said three good words in a row.
The power of Hand Cannon was much greater than he imagined. No wonder Nuannuan said at the time that if Gunpowder was produced, it would be enough for Great Xia to unify the world.
Although he believed in Jiang Nuan at that time, he didn't believe much, maybe 40%.
Now after seeing the power of Hand Cannon, he is completely convinced that this is something that can change the world structure.
He is determined to be the one emperor who will unify the whole world through the ages!
Jiang Yunsheng is now full of confidence in this matter.
Now that the smoke and dust had dissipated, some ministers who moved quickly ran directly to the place where the projectiles fell, looking at the fragments of stone limbs that were half a man tall and the crater with a diameter of two meters.
"Even stones can be broken into pieces like this. If it fell on human flesh and blood, there would be no bones left!"
"That's not true, and even if you put on armor, it's of no use. You can still kill him."
"If this is placed on the city gate, those who come to attack the city will just hit it with a bullet. I don't know how many people can be killed. It is simply a magic weapon for defending the city!"
"No, not only defending the city, but also attacking the city is very powerful. Can the walls built withstand these cannons?"
Those generals began to discuss the power and use of this Hand Cannon.
At this time, a military commander suddenly said:
"If my army is equipped with this weapon..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something. His eyes lit up and he looked at Jiang Nuan with bright eyes.
The other generals also reacted, and several of them immediately looked at Jiang Nuan with fiery eyes.
Jiang Nuan looked at them, feeling a little uncomfortable, and hid behind Jiang Yunsheng.
