Snowflakes are falling, most of December has passed, and white snow has fallen in the south, but it melts as soon as it falls, and the frost lies quietly on the branches, motionless, waiting for the arrival of destined people to appreciate it and praise it;

In the north in winter, there is continuous heavy snow, just like what is said in a poem: Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow. Now that the war in the world has stopped, the four countries that are still fighting in the Central Plains also have an idea for each other. Near the end of the year, the first

Two years will be the time for a major adjustment in the world's structure. If we continue to fight, it will not do us any good.

On the afternoon of December 29th, the emperors from all over the world ordered their artillery teams to line up near the Temple of Heaven outside the capital. Those with more cannons would directly display them at the altar.

There are two rows on the left and right sides of the Temple of Heaven, and the muzzles of the cannons are aimed at the outside of the Temple of Heaven.

Why do you do this? These things can be traced back to what happened in the group a month ago.

Feng Hao suddenly posted a notification message in the group about changing the reign name, which read: "Changing the reign name is a major national event. Isn't there some ceremony?"

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang jumped out and was the first to answer Feng Hao's question: "Isn't it enough to offer amnesty to the world and hold a ceremony to worship heaven?"

This answer has been widely responded by emperors from all walks of life. This is not wrong at all. Isn't it a very common ceremony to change the reign name to amnesty the world and hold a ceremony to worship the heaven to pray for good weather for the country? Isn't it very common for Feng Hao to do anything else?

The ceremony will be held?

Soon, the atmosphere in the group became tense again, and they were all wondering what ceremony Aite Feng Hao should use to hold the ceremony of entering this world.

Feng Hao said very directly: "All the rituals you mentioned should be present, including the amnesty for the world and the ceremony of worshiping heaven. Otherwise, they will be cancelled, and public opinion will be lost. What I mean is very simple. In the ceremony of worshiping heaven,

On that day, all countries pulled out their artillery and lined up their cannons at the altar of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, with their muzzles pointed at the sky. Before the ceremony, they fired the cannons first and then started."

Everyone was very confused. After all, it was easy to understand that their thoughts could not keep up with Feng Hao's pace. Feng Hao meant that these cannons were not used for war, but could also be used to hold ceremonies, and he selected a few good cannons and pulled them out.

Placed outside the altar to offer sacrifices to heaven, the purpose of setting off the cannons first is for the underground subjects to express their wishes, so that the Emperor of Heaven can see the sincerity of the people, and then proceed with the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

In this way, some people were dubious, but some people really believed it. To put it bluntly, Feng Hao's intention was to stop them from being so single-minded. The ancients were not fools. They also knew what Feng Hao meant, but they all pretended to be confused.

, such as when Emperor Puyi was deposed, he knew what the meaning of setting off cannons was, and he explained it to these people.

When Puyi appeared in the chat group, everyone was still a little confused, which emperor was he? Looking at his name, it turned out that he was the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Then learning about his life, he was really a tragic figure.

But it was precisely because of his explanation that these people all understood that Feng Hao was treating them as fools. If you say firecrackers, just fire off a salute. It would also move God and express his sincerity to the people all over the world.

I really treated them like three-year-old children.

"Okay, okay, since you all already know the meaning of setting off cannons, and you have just been here for a year, it doesn't make sense that you shouldn't have some meaningful rituals in the new year." Feng Hao finally expressed his thoughts.

came out, this time everyone knew about it, and everyone respected the leader of the group and ordered the artillery team to leave part of the artillery team in the capital, and the rest of the artillery team could go out.

In this way, the matter of changing the year name and setting off the salute was decided. Today happened to be the 29th, but the battle was still going on on the front line. Although Liu Bang and Ying Zheng were on the front line, they had nothing to do with the matter of changing the year name.

They were not idle about anything, and ordered the officials guarding the capital and the relatives of the emperor who were supervising the country not to forget to pull out the cannons on the day of the heaven-sacrifice ceremony and arrange them according to the arrangement mentioned by Feng Hao.

After Feng Hao returned to China, he was very satisfied with the results of the Ashan military exercise, but Yang Jian's reaction was really surprising. A generation of heroes were so frightened by such a small military exercise that they quickly mobilized heavy domestic troops to station themselves at the border. It was really unacceptable.

understand.

"Your Majesty, in two days it will be the day to change the reign name and hold a ceremony to worship the heaven." Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Zhu Wenzheng came forward and paid his respects.

"Yeah, there are only two days until our second year here. Thinking about what happened this year, it's really amazing." What Zhu Yuanzhang never expected was that he could actually be like this in history.

Many emperors went to war and drank tea.

At the moment, Wang Mang, who is idle in the northwest, has made a major breakthrough in reform. For agricultural production, they introduced the Tang Dynasty's Quyuan plow, which made it less difficult for farmers to reclaim land. Economically, they also targeted the country.

The treasury made the most accurate calculations and preparations, and calculated that they could repay the capital within a few years, and return the money to Ying Zheng with interest.

Nowadays, Ying Zheng is known to be a complete profiteer. Not only that, the things he sells are also very expensive, so expensive that they can no longer be expensive. You should all understand...

"Your Majesty, what King Zhao said about the gun salute..." Wang Lin stepped forward and asked.

"As ordered, have you bought the cannon?" Wang Mang asked while sitting on the throne.

"I bought it back. Now our soldiers and horses are training on how to operate the artillery." Wang Lin nodded and replied.

"On January 1st, the artillery troops will collectively line up in formation towards the Temple of Heaven, aim their muzzles at the sky, and fire three shots in unison to show respect." Wang Mang stood up and pointed to the group of ministers below and ordered.

"According to the order!"

Immediately afterwards, Sun Ce also attached great importance to the ceremony of worshiping the heaven. After all, no large-scale ceremony had been held since the founding of Soochow. Now taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone is happy and has bought the cannon.

, artillery training also includes dedicated training.

I don’t know when Ming-made artillery became so popular among the public. They have sold a thousand artillery pieces alone, and the orders are still rising. The demand for artillery in various countries can no longer satisfy the number of artillery, and

They also hired Ming artillery experts to come to their army to direct artillery training.

Because the post-war Ming Dynasty was supported by such orders, Zhu Yuanzhang had almost no losses in the world. In order to test the accuracy of artillery, some countries deliberately placed the artillery in the field to test the power of the artillery. As a result, on the 29th,

That afternoon, the whole world was awakened by the sound of cannon...
