The "Divine Majesty General" cannon was the name bestowed by Emperor Chongzhen upon the Red Barbarian cannons guarding Beijing City.
These cannons possessed long range and high precision. By adjusting the firing angle and gunpowder dosage, and utilizing the sights and apertures, the gunners could achieve pinpoint accuracy.
With a thunderous roar, the cannon that had just been fired exploded, killing the operator instantly. Fortunately, sandbags were nearby, preventing any other casualties. Deputy General Li quickly identified the problem: the barrel had burst because the artillery had been fired continuously without adequate cooling.
