Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 334
"This is firecrackers?" Ying Zheng muttered to himself, looking at the bamboo chips falling from the sky, his eyes gradually became dignified. Only then did the officials wake up one after another, and they were all surprised.

"Is this a firecracker? It can actually emit fire and make such a big noise!"

"Just like thunder, this is too scary. How did the crown prince do it? Doesn't this mean that thunder will be heard every day from now on?" Many people were terrified by this scene.

These people thought that Zhao Yi was just making up nonsense to perfuse them just now, but now that they saw it with their own eyes and witnessed it with their own ears, it was still hard for them to believe that all this was true.

On the other hand, Wang Jian and other senior generals in the army, after seeing the power of firecrackers, their expressions became a little playful.

"This firecracker is interesting. If it is used in the army, especially against cavalry, hehe..."

"Yeah, it's such a big commotion, throw it among the horses, hehe, I'm afraid all the cavalry will become bullshit!"

"Don't tell me, making such a big noise is just like celebrating the New Year!"

"His Royal Highness, do you still have these firecrackers? I want to buy some to amuse my grandson..."

Ying Zheng and Zhao Yi couldn't help but smile after hearing the words of these bigwigs in the army.

I really dare to think about using firecrackers to amuse my grandson, I am afraid that something will happen and there will be no time to cry.

And just when Zhao Yi was about to explain what he had made, two uninvited guests broke in.

"Who, who is concocting alchemy? Did the alchemy furnace explode? Who is so bold to concoct alchemy in the Prince's Mansion?"

Hearing the shouting, Ying Zheng frowned, and Zhao Yi looked at the people with great interest. It's really interesting that someone thought he was doing alchemy. It seems that these two have been making alchemy and frying furnaces on weekdays!
And at this time, everyone realized that the two unexpected guests were actually Xu Fu and Gongsun Zhui.

[Xu Fu and Gongsun Zhui are actually right in saying that. In fact, the earliest gunpowder originated from alchemy. 】

[Of course, the use of real gunpowder will take 1000 years. Now I am afraid that no one can understand what the crown prince has made! 】

【However, the prince is very curious. If Xu Fu and Gongsun Zhui know that I use gunpowder to make firecrackers and firearms, what kind of expressions will they have when they see the power of the firearms? Will they overthrow their own school's theory? 】

Hearing the muttering in Zhao Yi's heart, Ying Zheng rolled his eyes angrily, and then explained to Ying Zheng what he had made.

When everyone heard that Zhao Yi made firecrackers specially to celebrate the New Year, everyone was speechless.

But then Zhao Yi said something that made everyone full of expectations.

"Everyone, in a few days, Wang Chi's shop will be selling firecrackers. I hope you will support me when the time comes!"

Hearing what Zhao Yi said, everyone's eyes lit up, including Ying Zheng, so they let Zhao Yi go.

And Ying Zheng learned from Zhao Yi's voice that his arsenal had not yet produced real firearms except for gunpowder and firecrackers, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

During the first month that followed, the entire Great Qin was shrouded in a festive atmosphere.

The imperial court has already begun strategic preparations for the new year.

The five-year recruiting system formulated by the Taiwei Mansion has already begun to be officially trialed in Guanzhong, Longyou, and Xianyang City.

At the same time, nearly [-]% of the arsenals in Jiangnan and Lingnan were sold to Linhu, Loufan and other countries respectively. The remaining [-]% of the ordnance was also sold to the tribe of the leader of Baiyue, who had taken the initiative to befriend Da Qin. .

In this way, the ordnance that Daqin was going to eliminate directly was actually disposed of directly, and it gained hundreds of millions of dollars in income, as well as excellent rice seeds from the land of Baiyue, excellent stallions from the land of Linhu, and Countless treasures of gold and silver.

This time, the Taiwei's House was really proud, because it was the Taiwei's House who formulated the strategy, and Ying Zheng was only giving pointers and did not participate in the whole process, which made the Taiwei's House take a huge credit for nothing.

And as spring approaches, Daqin's series of targeted measures have caused some neighboring countries to start to move.

After the court retreated early that day, Ying Zheng left Zhao Yi alone, and went straight to the point.

"Prince, I know that your arsenal is already producing firearms. You have to hurry up. The Fuyu Kingdom has been making frequent moves at the border recently. The news from the Northland is that there will be a big war soon."

"I recently heard that in order to deal with our Great Qin, the Fuyu Kingdom has specially formed heavy cavalry. This kind of cavalry, whether on horses or knights, are all wearing triple heavy armor. Walking in groups, they are invincible..."

[What the hell?Heavy cavalry?Are there heavy cavalry at this time?Are you kidding me, is there any time traveler in Fuyu Country? 】

Ying Zheng heard tension from Zhao Yi's voice, which made Ying Zheng a little nervous.

After all, in Ying Zheng's impression, there were almost no things that could make Zhao Yi nervous, but he didn't expect to hear it today.

And Zhao Yi seems to be quite familiar with heavy cavalry, and I don't know if he can have a way to deal with it.

[If it were not for the contribution of the time travellers, it seems that in this era, there are experts not only in the Qin Dynasty, but also among the Hu people. 】

[Once the heavy cavalry is used on the battlefield and directly adopts the central breakthrough tactic, combined with the outflanking tactics of light cavalry on both wings, I am afraid that with today's Da Qin tactics, they will suffer big losses! 】

When Ying Zheng heard this, his brows were already furrowed. Zhao Yi had already fully explained the threat of heavy cavalry to Da Qin in just a few words.

The heavy cavalry charged through the center. Unless they encountered mountains or stopped on their own, there was no way they could stop them.

However, if the Fuyu people deployed a large number of light cavalry to outflank the heavy cavalry on both sides, the army facing the heavy cavalry would completely collapse in a very short period of time, and finally turned into a one-sided massacre.

Ying Zheng really didn't expect that Zhao Yi didn't see anything, and he could already come up with the most suitable tactics for heavy cavalry just by imagination, which made Ying Zheng feel relieved, and at the same time, he was full of expectations for Zhao Yi.

Because in Ying Zheng's view, the only way to deal with heavy cavalry is if Da Qin organizes its own heavy cavalry, which can match it. But the problem is that when Da Qin organizes heavy cavalry, it may not be able to deal with Fuyu's heavy cavalry. !
But if Daqin didn't have his own heavy cavalry, how to deal with Fuyu's heavy cavalry would be a major problem in the upcoming confrontation between Daqin and Fuyu.

After all, according to the military reports from the North at this time, the Fuyu people have already started dispatching troops to the border of the Great Qin, and it seems that a big battle is inevitable...
