Empress Hyomin couldn't help but raise her voice several notches. "When you ascend the throne, take this cannon and attack the neighboring country of Japan. Give them a massive gift package of massacre and extermination."
"Massacre of the Japanese isn't massacre; national annihilation is the basic requirement. Even the egg yolks were shaken loose once they reached the island... Cong'er, remember this: sins committed now will bring merits for generations to come!"
"Don't let the Japanese next door live to see the First Industrial Revolution!"
Queen Hyomin was so excited by what she said that she couldn't help but pat the cannon a few times, making a popping sound and her palms turned red.
But Queen Hyomin was not afraid of the pain. Instead, she said happily in her heart: It’s worthy of her... The yellow cannon barrel suddenly turned red!
Zhao Cong frowned. "Mother, does Japan have something you like? Is that why you want to attack it?"
Queen Hyomin shook her head, her expression suddenly darkening. "It... killed many of my mother's relatives..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Cong's brows furrowed in a frown. He sternly said, "Don't worry, mother. As long as I'm here, I will destroy the Japanese nation... and exterminate their entire race!"
Empress Xiaomin looked at Zhao Cong with satisfaction. Giving birth to such a son was worth all her efforts in fighting in the palace and the house, and defeating countless people. She had to endure Zhao Rui, the rotten cucumber with the smell of his father for decades, and sent him to the Eastern Palace.
Wouldn't it be a waste of time if we don't send the Japanese to hell?
Empress Xiaomin said to Madam Hua, "Second Battalion Commander, load the shells for me!"
Then she said to Zhao Cong, "Cong'er, shall we try the cannon now?"
Zhao Cong nodded.
Behind him, Zhao Ying warned, "Mother, you must be careful..."
"Okay!"
Empress Xiaomin watched Nanny Hua load the cannonball into the barrel, then waved her hand for her to withdraw. Then she said to Zhao Cong, "Cong'er, pull this rope. When I say three, pull hard!"
"Okay, mother!"
Zhao Cong frowned seriously, and then...
"one two three!"
Everyone was waiting for a loud noise, and Zhao Ying even blocked his ears.
However... nothing happened.
Zhao Cong wondered, "Mother, why are you not responding?"
Queen Hyomin frowned and said to herself, "No way...it was clearly successful before..."
Queen Hyomin instinctively opened the blueprint, compared it with the real thing, and circled around the Italian cannon to examine it. Finally, with no other options left, Queen Hyomin ordered Nanny Hua, "Second Battalion Commander, go to the box under the bed in my bedroom and get a wrench!"
Aunt Hua had been with Empress Xiaomin for many years and was already familiar with her language. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away!"
After Nanny Hua left, Zhao Ying also walked to Empress Xiaomin, and the three of them looked at the drawings together. Zhao Ying and Zhao Cong had been influenced by Empress Xiaomin since childhood, so they could understand a little bit.
Suddenly, Empress Xiaomin threw the blueprint to Zhao Ying, walked to the front of the cannon, looked at the cannonball stuck inside, frowned and clicked her tongue, "I was wondering why there was no response, the cannonball is stuck... Cong'er, wait a moment, let me take out the cannonball first!"
As she spoke, Queen Hyomin reached out, pushed down the barrel of the cannon, and then got in.
The barrel is so big that a person can actually fit in it.
Zhao Cong and Zhao Ying were absorbed in their studies and discussions, so they naturally ignored what Empress Xiaomin said. Zhao Cong subconsciously replied, "Oh... OK."
Zhao Cong lowered his head again, his eyes suddenly widening, and pointed at a point on the blueprint, "I know! Ying'er, look, there's a fuse here. Only by lighting the fuse and pulling the rope can it be launched!"
Zhao Ying nodded in understanding.
"So that's how it is..."
Zhao Cong had already lowered his head and started looking for clues.
Finally, I found it under the cannon. It was so small that you wouldn't notice it if you weren't paying attention.
Zhao Cong held the fuse and asked Zhao Ying for a fire starter, "Ying'er, a fire starter."
Zhao Ying felt around and found it, then handed it to Zhao Cong. After handing it over, Zhao Ying looked ahead blankly. Seeing no one around, she asked in confusion, "Where's the Queen Mother? Where did she go?"
Zhao Cong had already lit the fuse. Looking at the gradually burning thread, he smiled smugly and replied, "Mother... I guess Aunt Hua couldn't find it, so Mother went back to the palace to look for tools?"
Zhao Ying said "Oh".
Zhao Cong said again, "Ying'er, do you see that old crow's nest on that old tree in the distance?"
"Um!"
"Brother will show you 'Bombing the Crow's Nest'!"
Zhao Ying's eyes lit up. She had never seen the power of this artillery before, and it was quite new to her. She patted her bulging belly and said, "Child, your uncle is going to show you how to bombard a crow's nest. Do you like it?"
As soon as Zhao Ying finished speaking, her stomach suddenly understood. Zhao Ying looked at Zhao Cong in surprise, "Brother, the child kicked me, he must like it!"
Zhao Cong chuckled twice and became more motivated.
Zhao Cong bent down and adjusted the barrel of the cannon. "Hey, it's quite heavy..."
Then he told Zhao Ying to stay away.
Pull the rope yourself.
"Alright, alright! One, two, three!"
Zhao Cong pulled hard.
"Bang!!"
"ah!!!"
The huge noise shook the surrounding leaves off the trees.
Zhao Ying watched helplessly as Zhao Cong's shot blasted out not a cannonball, but... a red robe and brocade clothes... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
There was still a smug smile on Zhao Cong's lips, but at this moment, he froze.
Zhao Ying opened her mouth wide, unable to utter a sound. She pointed at Zhao Cong, then at the increasingly smaller red dot in the sky...
“Ahhhhh!!!”
“Ahhhhhhh!!!”
"mother!!!!"
Tears suddenly welled up in Zhao Ying's eyes.
Zhao Cong was also dumbfounded.
He stood there in a daze, his soul being sucked out of him.
