Daming: I really don’t want to be an emperor!

Zhu Yunhuan looked at the power of the invincible general cannon on the warship and shook his head slightly, "Not enough, not enough."

"Your Majesty, this is already the limit after the arsenal's adjustments. It ensures that it can be used continuously without exploding. If the power is greater, this Divine Mighty Invincible General Cannon will easily explode."

Hao Youqian reminded.

The officials behind Zhu Yunhuan twitched their lips. Isn’t this powerful enough?

Does one shot have to be able to destroy a city for it to be powerful enough?

Zhu Yunhuan: One cannon can destroy a city? That's just barely powerful. If it can destroy an area of 378,000 square kilometers with one cannon, then that cannon's power is just barely powerful.

Soon after, a large number of prisoners appeared in the no-man's land, all of them were handcuffed and shackled.

"Old Liu, what's going on?" Zhu Yunhuan asked.

Liu Wenbin replied, "Your Majesty, this is the power of realizing the equality of all beings. The group on the other side are all death row prisoners, brought from prisons in various places. I have already told them that if they can survive under the equality of all beings, their death sentence will be commuted to life imprisonment. If they cannot survive, then they can rest in peace."

Zhu Yunxun nodded, "I see. How many people are there on the other side?"

Liu Wenbin smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, no more, no less, just over 1,300 people."

"Remaining? How much remaining?" Zhu Yunhuan caught the word sharply.

Liu Wenbin coughed dryly, "More than... 9,000 people.

"More than ten thousand people are just more than ten thousand people. What do you mean by more than a thousand?" Zhu Yunhuan said with a dark face.

Liu Wenbin replied, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that you will think that what I did is too offensive to the harmony of heaven."

Zhu Yunhuan waved his hands, "It doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't hurt Heaven and Earth, it's fine. Since it's all death penalty, dying under the equality of all living beings is better than beheading."

Hao Youqian reminded him, "Your Majesty, beheading only removes the head, and there is also a corpse. Under the equality of all living beings, let alone corpses, there may not even be body parts. In comparison, beheading seems to be better."

Zhu Yunxun was speechless, "Shut up, why are you butting in when I'm talking!"

"Yes, I know I was wrong." Hao Youqian quickly shut up.

"Fire!" Another command came.

Several Equality Cannons were fired directly, and it was impossible to see with the naked eye how many shells were flying out, and the artillery fire directly bombarded the ground.

The group of people on the opposite side faced the overwhelming artillery shells and quickly dodged.

However, no matter how fast you run, you are still within the range of the cannon. This thing does not require aiming, it is an area coverage strike.

As long as you are within that range, you will die no matter where you run.

As for those outside that range, they are all Jinyiwei.

If you can get there, the Jinyiwei will give you a ride.

"What the hell! What the hell! What the hell! Can a cannon fire so many shells?"

"What kind of cannon is this? Why haven't we heard of it before? Can anyone tell me what kind of cannon this is? How can we control it?"

"For your information, this cannon is called Equality of All Beings. It has a turret and multiple gun barrels. I don't know exactly how many there are. It's mainly used for fire coverage, a ground-washing attack."

"How did you know? We haven't heard of it. How could a foreigner like you know about it? Is there a spy stealing our Ming Dynasty's military secrets?"

"Spy? Jinyiwei! Jinyiwei! There's a spy here! Catch him! Kill all his clans!"

"Not a spy, not a spy, it's written in your Daming Daily. Look at the Daming Daily in your hands!"

Ahem, I just bought the Daming Daily, but the sound of cannons attracted my attention and I haven’t had the chance to read it yet.

A foreign businessman is so scared that he is about to lose his soul. Stop shouting nonsense.

Don't really invite the Jinyiwei here.

I'm not a spy, I'm just a businessman.

"Fuck, military funding? Developing maritime defense?"

"No matter how much you donate, you may get the right to name the supply ship? The person who donates the most nationwide every month can get the right to name the warship?"

"Fuck, can I name the battleship Mao Fang?"

"Your father's last name is Mao, and your mother's last name is Fang, right? Why did they give you such a simple name? Didn't you see what's written above? Only the one who donates the most in the country is eligible."

"I'll not only have the right to name the warship, but I can also take my family on the named warship to sail across the sea and brave the wind and waves!"

"I want to ride the wind and waves, and walk across the yellow sand and ocean. Rather than let a misunderstanding go, I must live up to my courage."

"We are discussing the Ming Daily, why are you singing such a nonsense song?"

"Donate! You must donate! My money can be used as military expenses to attack other countries, but it cannot be used as compensation for other countries to attack our Ming Dynasty and be defeated! Even if I have to take out a loan, I will donate it!"

"Hey, hey, hey, be reasonable! Please exercise restraint. It's all written in the Daming Daily. Donate if you have extra money. It's not mandatory."

"It's none of your business. I can control this matter! Can't I donate if I want? Not only do I want to donate, I also want to be a sailor. I also want to operate such awesome cannons!"

"We have to donate! Otherwise, the old days of China being upside down and the people being treated worse than pigs and dogs will reappear. What will we do then? Donating to national defense is worse than spending it on eating, drinking, whoring and gambling!"

"Yes, from now on, those who don't donate money are not allowed to see the warships we built with our donations!"

When the Ming Daily proposed donations, people did not have much resistance, mainly because it was not compulsory and there was a designated donation location.

Secondly, it has only been a few decades since the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

If a war breaks out and the Ming Dynasty is defeated, it will have to cede territory and pay compensation, losing sovereignty and humiliating the country, and the people will still not be able to keep their money.

In that case, it would be better to donate some money to build warships.

It's better to donate a little than to have it all taken away from you.

If we can restrain ourselves from developing national defense, how can we do that?

We don’t have enough martial virtue!

No, no, it seems we are sick too, and some mysterious gene has been awakened.

That disease seems to be what Your Majesty mentioned as the fear of insufficient firepower.

What can a battleship do with just a few guns? If outsiders see it, they will think we can't afford to install more cannons.
