Du Qi said, "You see things clearly."
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "I am very satisfied that you are willing to pledge allegiance to me and lobby Gaochang's King for me. However, it will not be easy for you to lobby him with just your mouth. I will bestow you with three weapons to lobby Gaochang's King. With them, you will be able to convince Gaochang's King that I am the reincarnation of Ming Zun. "
Arhan asked, "What kind of weapon can make the Gaochang Monarch believe my words?"
Du Qi immediately said, "Liu Jian!"
"Present!"
When Liu Jian heard Du Qi's order, he entered the study and bowed respectfully to Du Qi.
Du Qi ordered, "Go find Registrar Liu and have him approve two hand grenades, two landmines, and two sets of explosives. Bring them to the back mountain of the Prince's Mansion. I will wait for you there. "
"Yes!"
Liu Jian agreed and turned to leave.
Arhan listened to Du Qi's words and felt that they were unfamiliar.
Hand grenades!
Landmines!
Explosives!
What kind of weapons were those?
Arhan was well-versed in both the East and the West, so he had a good understanding of both weapons. However, he had never heard of such weapons before, so he was very curious.
Du Qi did not explain anything. He got up and led Arhan to the back mountain of the Prince's Mansion. The so-called back mountain was just a large open space where he had experimented before.
Not long after Du Qi and Arhan arrived, Liu Jian came with two sets of supplies. Du Qi had Liu Jian keep one set and instructed him to pull the fuse of a hand grenade and throw it out.
Liu Jian was very familiar with all of this.
After the fuse of the hand grenade was ignited, it flew through the air and landed on the ground with a bang.
"Boom!"
An explosion sounded.
Smoke and dust rose and a large crater appeared on the ground.
When Arhan saw this, his eyes widened. His body could not help but tremble slightly. He even ignored the buzzing in his head.
Terrifying!
This weapon is too terrifying.
If such a weapon were to explode in a crowd, it would immediately cause a great deal of damage.
Du Qi then turned to look at the stunned Arhan and said with a smile, "Arhan, this thing is called a grenade. It will explode as long as you pull the fuse and throw it out. You saw the power of the explosion. Once it explodes in a crowd, what kind of scene will it be? "
There was even some fear in Arhan's eyes.
This was because when two armies were fighting, if such a weapon was thrown into the enemy's army and exploded, it would be extremely terrifying.
Arhan looked at Du Qi and asked, "Can such weapons be mass-produced?"
"Of course!"
Du Qi said, "You can have as many of these weapons as you want. We can mass produce them."
Arhan nodded.
His heart was even more shaken.
Du Qi didn't care about Alhan's inner thoughts and ordered, "Liu Jian, ignite the gunpowder."
"Yes!"
Liu Jian immediately stepped forward.
The gunpowder was buried in the ground. As soon as Liu Jian ignited the fuse, it quickly ran away. The amount of gunpowder this time was far more than the first time.
Therefore, Liu Jian and Du Qi stood far away and already covered their ears.
Arhan also followed suit.
Following suit, he covered his ears.
"Bang! Bang! "
The fuse was quickly ignited, and the distance to the gunpowder was getting closer and closer.
"Boom!!"
In the next moment, an explosion suddenly occurred.
At this moment, smoke and dust rose in all directions, and the splashing soil even splashed all around.
When Arhan saw this scene, his body trembled. His legs couldn't help but tremble, and he collapsed to the ground. Because the explosion in front of him was something that Arhan had never seen before in his life. If the previous explosion of the grenade had already shocked Arhan, then this time it was completely beyond his expectations.
Arhan couldn't imagine that there would be such a powerful weapon.
It was too terrifying.
No, it could no longer be described as terrifying.
Especially when Arhan saw the large pit on the ground, which was far larger than the previous one. A large pit of several feet in size, surrounded by soil, was incomparably shocking.
Liu Jian stepped forward and helped Arhan up. At this time, Arhan's legs were still trembling.
He still hadn't recovered.
Du Qi smiled and said, "Arhan, this thing is called gunpowder. It can also be called a gunpowder bag or an explosive bag. That's the general meaning. The explosion was relatively simple, but when used, the effect was surprisingly good. Once it explodes in a crowd, its lethality is incomparably great. This weapon can even be used to attack cities and destroy cities. "
After pausing for a moment, Du Qi continued, "With this weapon, it will be of great use to us during sieges and even when the enemy attacks."
Arhan recovered slightly and said, "Your Highness, this thing is too powerful."
At this time, Liu Jian took out a landmine and buried it in the ground. Then, he used the sheep to trample the ground, causing the ground to explode. After such an explosion, although Arhan was shocked, he was still fine. After all, there was the previous gunpowder explosion.
Arhan took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, I understand. Grenades, gunpowder, and landmines, these three weapons are enough to instill fear in the heart of the Gaochang Monarch. With this thing, we can intimidate the Gaochang Monarch. "
"Yes!"
Du Qi replied with a smile.
Arhan was indeed someone who used to be in charge of a region. He easily understood what Ren Baqian was thinking.
Arhan continued, "With these three weapons, it won't be difficult to persuade the Gaochang Monarch to submit. Coupled with my influence, it won't be difficult. However, it will be difficult to get just one weapon. Because in Gaochang, the people in the army have always been in favor of war. I need two weapons. One of them will be used to persuade the Gaochang Monarch. The other will be used to intimidate the Gaochang Monarch's officials. Success will be assured if we use both. "
Du Qi said, "No problem. I'll give them all to you."
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "What other conditions do you have? State them all."
Arhan thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, if I have any other request, it would be money. In Gaochang, there are some officials in the imperial court who have a good relationship with me. In fact, if we want to persuade them to support our surrender, we need money. Although my Manichaeism has many followers, we don't have enough money. But in reality, they didn't have enough money. They needed money to operate. Of course, if we can't use the money, that would be the best. However, if things don't go well, we will need this money to operate. "
Du Qi said, "No problem. How much money do you want?"
Arhan said, "Ten thousand strings of cash!"
Du Qi said, "I'll give you fifty thousand strings of cash. Don't worry about not having enough money. Do your best."
Arhan said in a deep voice, "As you command."
At once, Du Qi brought Arhan back to the study and got Liu Jian to get another weapon. He handed it to Arhan along with the remaining weapon and explained how to use it. Then, he gave Alhan a letter to withdraw the money and asked him to withdraw the money.
