After returning from the battle, social gatherings were inevitable. After drinking for several days, Su Cheng finally took a breath.

Only the cavalry in the Shenji Camp followed him back to the camp, the artillery battalion and the musket battalion were still behind him, so Su Cheng just went around the camp.

Then Su Cheng went to the firearms supervisor, which was the top priority.

This Eastern Expedition fully proved the power of firearms, and in the future, both the emperor and the ministers in the court will pay more attention to firearms.

It can be said that after this battle, firearms have officially become famous all over the world!

The officials and craftsmen of the Firearms Supervision were also very happy. This time, the firearms in the Eastern Expedition were shining, and their firearms will definitely have great rewards, and the emperor will definitely pay more attention to the Firearms Supervision in the future.

"Greetings to the Duke of the Kingdom! Congratulations to the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of making great contributions and glorious for generations!"

Su Cheng dismounted and smiled, "It's quite neat, have you rehearsed in advance?"

Zhang Chunning smiled and said, "Everyone has been looking forward to the grandfather coming. I have prepared a little to congratulate him!"

Did you just prepare for a little bit? It seems that this has been rehearsing for several days, right?

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Go to the same joy. This Eastern Expedition is a complete victory. Your Majesty is also very happy. Our Shenji Camp and the Firearms Prison have made considerable contributions. After bringing all the troops back, Your Majesty will definitely give you a grand reward. Our Firearms Prison has all the money!"

Everyone was very excited when they heard this. After all, they were just speculations. Now that even the prince spoke, there would definitely be a reward.

Seeing everyone's excitement, Su Cheng immediately restrained his smile and said with a faint smile: "However, everyone cannot relax, because Tubo sent troops to attack Tuyuhun, Your Majesty may send troops to fight. Our firearms surveillance must also prepare in advance. Okay, let's disperse!"

In the hall, Su Cheng was flipping through the copywriting while listening to Zhang Chunning's detailed report.

"The output of muskets and artillery is quite large, and the output of ammunition has also kept up!" Su Cheng nodded.

Zhang Chunning hurriedly said, "That's it, for the sake of the imperial court's great expedition, our firearms supervisors were not idle for a moment."

Su Cheng put down the copywriting in his hand and asked: "Is there any new progress in the development of muskets and artillery?"

Zhang Chunning was stunned when he heard this. The East Expedition muskets and cannons were shining. He never expected that when the prince came back, he asked if there was any new progress in the development of muskets and cannons?

Is the Duke still dissatisfied with the power of cannons and muskets today?

"This Eastern Expedition, artillery and muskets made great contributions. Do you feel very satisfied? Do you feel very satisfied? Do you feel no longer need to study firearms?" Su Cheng asked lightly.

He did have this kind of mentality, but Zhang Chunning was not stupid either. He hurriedly said: "Of course not. The officials have always kept in mind the teachings of the Duke. However, because of the war this year, everyone has been very busy, so..."

Su Cheng said lightly: "So the craftsmen who are so busy studying firearms have to rush to make muskets and cannons?"

In an instant, Zhang Chunning sweated heavily. Although he had already become the Chief of Supervisor, as long as the Duke said a word, he could only become a craftsman again, and it was possible that he would be driven out of the Firearms Supervisor.

"The officials should die. They are all negligent and forgot the advice of the grandfather!" Zhang Chunning said in panic.

Su Cheng said lightly: "Development is not something that can be done overnight, but it is necessary to constantly explore, imagine, and experiment, and never stop! You cannot relax whether it is during wartime or not. This time it is all your fault. Not only you relax, but others have also relaxed. This time I will also remind you that you must reflect on yourself!"

Zhang Chunning wiped the cold sweat from his body and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, the officials must reflect on themselves!"

"The gunpowder in the warehouse exploded? What's going on?" Su Cheng asked with a frown.

Zhang Chunning hurriedly said: "Mr. I have repeatedly emphasized that open flames are strictly prohibited, and the officials have always followed the rules set by the Master..."

Su Cheng said in a deep voice: "What I want to know now is why the photos were exposed, and what went wrong, so that such things would be avoided in the future."

Zhang Chunning wiped his sweat and said quickly: "Your Majesty, everyone guarding the warehouse was blown to death, so I don't know why it exploded."

Su Cheng frowned and asked, "Is there nothing else to find?"

Zhang Chunning thought for a while and hesitated: "The warehouse is far away from the mountain. When it exploded, Xiaguan happened to see it on the mountain. Xiaguan felt that the power of the explosion was not very strong..."

Is the explosion powerful? There is a lot of gunpowder in the warehouse, so how can the explosion not be powerful?

Su Cheng straightened his waist and asked seriously: "Are you sure?"

Zhang Chunning said: "I am not sure about this. After all, I have never seen so many gunpowder explosions. I just feel that something is wrong. Maybe some gunpowder has failed to work because it is damp."

He did feel that the power of the explosion was a little less, but he couldn't figure it out. Could it be that someone else had stolen gunpowder?

The key is, what are you doing to steal gunpowder?

Some spies from foreign countries?

Then they should steal muskets and artillery. Even if they want to steal gunpowder to study formulas, they only need to steal some, so there is no need to steal gunpowder from a warehouse, right?

With his fingers gently tapping the desk, Su Cheng fell into deep thought.

He couldn't help but think about it. After all, there were many signs that Li Chengqian might have had the idea of ​​rebellion. Will Li Chengqian have the idea of ​​firing a firearm?

Through this Eastern Expedition, the power of firearms has been completely proved. Moreover, when Hou Junji set out, he also had the Shenji Camp under his command, which can be said to have a deep understanding of muskets.

And Su Cheng followed the army to fight and was not in Chang'an. Will Li Chengqian have the idea of ​​igniting a lighter?

Since Li Shimin saw the power of firearms, the court has begun to strictly control saltpeter. It is not easy for Li Chengqian to collect raw materials without revealing traces.

If Li Chengqian had the idea of ​​making a firearm, he could only find someone to the firearm supervisor!

Therefore, there is probably someone who is bribed by Li Chengqian’s people!

Su Cheng asked in a deep voice: "Must guns, are the cannons lost?"

Zhang Chunning hurriedly said: "The muskets and cannons are all numbered, and everyone has detailed records as directed by the grandfather. It is impossible to make any mistakes! This official can guarantee it!"

Su Cheng said in a deep voice: "Check it aside to ensure that there are no lost. The scrapped muskets and artillery must also be checked!"

In fact, Su Cheng also felt that the possibility of the musket being lost was not very likely. After all, it was useless for Li Chengqian to steal a small number of muskets from the firearm battalion, and it was impossible to hide the stealing of a large number of muskets.

"Who is idle and stealing gunpowder? Maybe you feel wrong, or maybe the gunpowder is really damp. Just check it out just in case." Su Cheng seemed to carelessly.
Chapter completed!
