Zhao Xu smashed his mouth and felt an indescribable suffocation in his chest.

It is difficult for him to explain the importance of the navy as outsiders. Although the navy has always played an important role in the Central Plains War, once the war is over, the navy will slowly be abandoned.

Feudal dynasties, without exception.

Zhao Xu let out a light breath, too lazy to explain, and said, "Let's watch the drill."

Zhao Si looked at Zhao Xu's side face and his expression became tense. He always regarded Zhao Xu as an idol and quietly imitated Zhao Xu. When Zhao Xu showed something he couldn't understand, he was both admiring and distressing.

Master Zhong is calm as usual and has no emotions.

The navy had nothing to do with him, and it was not his turn to speak.

There are more and more people sitting in front of you, and more noisy.

Zhao Xu looked up and saw that the ships on the sea also started to move. Not far away, some obviously broken ships, boat boards, trees, grass men and the like appeared.

The soldiers at the port also moved quickly, divided into two groups, and kept retreating.

A group of people on the lookout table gradually became quiet, and someone couldn't help saying, "Is this going to start?"

"Is this too hasty, right?"

"I don't know how this navy is practicing. I haven't had a navy for nearly a hundred years in the Song Dynasty..."

"Look, I heard that this navy spent millions of coins in advance and afterwards, and I don't know what it is for..."

The people on the watchtower were extremely dissatisfied with the navy and their tone was full of ridicule.

Zhao Si glanced at Zhao Xu, and saw that Zhao Xu was calm, his tense face suddenly relaxed slowly and looked forward.

Guo Cheng walked out of the barracks, glanced at the observation deck, and then came to the command tower. There were seven or eight people following him with colorful flags on their backs.

"Woooooooooooooo~"

Suddenly, thick and low trumpets rang out from all directions, suppressing the noise of the entire base.

‘Here you!’

Zhao Xu's heart was terrified and he sat upright seriously.

Most of the people on the watchtower are like this. No matter how much they sneer, they still hold their breath and look at it seriously when they really get into the exercise.

The sound of the trumpet lasted for a long time, and the flags suddenly flew at the entire navy base, and various drums were heard one after another, especially on the sea, waves were waving.

Zhao Xu looked at the warships and soldiers and couldn't help it and wanted to stand up.

The flags fluttered and the drums sounded like thunder.

The warships on the sea moved slowly, and the sails on them rustled.

On the command tower, colorful flags waving, and the entire navy base suddenly started to run violently.

Everyone held their breath and looked at the sea quietly.

Time was soon and seemed to be very long. With the waving of the flag of the command tower, a thunder suddenly erupted from the sea.

One sound, then another sound, and then it was as dense as rain.

Even though they were far apart, Zhao Xu still felt tingling eardrums, dizzy head, and extremely uncomfortable in his body.

The sound is too loud.

When Zhao Xu covered his ears with both hands, he saw black dots flying towards the targets of the used ships a hundred meters away.

The targets were instantly turned upside down, penetrated and flew away, and a raging fire ignited on the sea.

Even with the rumbling sound of cannons, I still felt a silence.

Zhao Xu had already stood up, clenched his fists with excitement, and waved them violently.

‘It finally worked!’

The excitement in his heart was difficult for outsiders to understand. He invested a lot of money, grain and energy in the Military Weapon Bureau, gathered many skilled craftsmen in the Song Dynasty, and all the "scientists" participated. Finally, he developed the "artillery".

Although this kind of artillery is still very primitive and has great "side effects", in this era, this thing is definitely a big killer!

Siege, defend, and even field battles will have huge lethality!

Master Zhong also stood up at this moment, showing a shocked look on his face.

He knew some firearms and used them. Generally speaking, the functions of firearms are not so significant. They cannot be left out, but they are not necessarily available.

But the artillery on the navy ships is completely different. Such impact force will definitely put huge psychological pressure on the opponent when it appears on the battlefield! Give your own army great confidence!

‘I should have it in my army too!’

Master Zhong was in a hot head and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhao Xu.

But Zhao Xu's eyes were on the sea and he didn't notice the reaction of Master Chun at all.

On the sea, dozens of ships and hundreds of artillery continued to roar, exploding the sea not far away into unrecognizable lights, with flames rising and scent of sulfur all over the sky.

I don’t know how long it took, but under the command of the flag on the command tower, the artillery slowly stopped.

But the roar still echoed over the base for a long time.

Zhao Xu was in a state of excitement and could not calm down. His eyes were still staring at the sea level and said to himself: "Most solid bullets are mostly, but they are enough, and it is slowly developing... The power of gunpowder is not enough, and all technologies need to be carefully studied..."

Master Zhong licked his dry lips and couldn't help saying, "Official... Master, can you give me some firearms?"

Zhao Xu gave out a deep breath, glanced at him, sat down slowly, unable to suppress his excitement, and said, "Not yet. These are not perfect enough, very heavy, it is inconvenient for the army to carry, and the effect is not as great as it can be seen. This is a drill, wait a little longer."

Master Zhong was a little unwilling to give up, and hesitated for a while, but he slowly sat back.

He knew that these firearms were expensive, and now the court is in short supply, so he was indeed a little embarrassed to ask for artillery.

Zhao Si sat next to Zhao Xu, keeping his face tense. At this moment, looking at Zhao Xu, his face full of respect.

Zhao Xu took a cup of tea from Hu Zhongwei, took a sip, and then calmed down. He felt much more relieved and said, "Don't worry, wait, wait for the Military Weapon Bureau to study and study. This navy is not only on the sea, nor is it still. In addition to helping you deal with the rebellion of Dali Kingdom, you also have to continue to go south and explore the world outside the Central Plains."

The cognitive scope of the Song Dynasty was actually very small, with limited scope of activity, and was limited to a narrow country.

Master Zhong bowed and said, "Yes."

Zhao Xu calmed down and saw that in the seat in front, there were people whispering to each other and talking in a low voice.

Because it is too small or too complicated, Zhao Xu can't hear it at all.

He was not in a hurry, sat down and continued to wait quietly.

It was the first time that Guo Cheng on the command tower saw such a grand occasion. He couldn't help but stayed for a while before he woke up after reminding his followers.

He looked at the still burning sea and said, "The navy fight will begin."

Colorful flags were flying on the command tower, and ships on the sea moved in response.

They were divided into two groups, and they fought each other on the sea, practicing navy battles.

These battles seem very "fake", basically with restrained interactions, very "polite".

Zhao Xu looked calmly for a while, then suddenly turned back and said, "Quanzhou Prefect, haven't you come?"

Hu Zhongwei came over and whispered: "No, except for the prefect of Quanzhou, there are six more robbers, only two of them came."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly and sat back.

Master Zhong didn't say anything and shook his head in his heart. There were always some strange and strange things in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. Logically speaking, the Quanzhou Prefect should have come over and walked around, but the Quanzhou Prefect got angry, and there was nothing to do with the Quanzhou Navy.
