236. The end of another era
The next day, the originally planned itinerary for leaving Beijing was unexpectedly changed.
Not only the itinerary of one person on the Tang River to go to Beijing, but also the itinerary of many bigwigs in the Tang Dynasty has changed. After a piece of music on the Tang River was sent to the Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace overnight, the old man immediately made a decision.
As a result, the early dynasty of the five years of the Tang Dynasty was dismissed for the second time in two months!
Not only that, but the old eunuch also stood at the door of the Taiji Hall with a copy of the list provided: "Pass on Your Majesty's dictation, and the court will be temporarily closed this morning." Order: Fang Qiao, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Tang Jian, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yanjin, Duan Zhixuan, Niu Jinda, Liu Hongji, Hou Junji, Li Jing, Li Ji, Changsun Wuji, etc., with the sixteen Wei Zhonglang, the above generals gathered outside the Xuanwu Gate! ”
The people who were named were a little stunned, and the Xuanwu Gate was assembled?
How many years has it been, and how many years has the taboo name Xuanwumen not appeared in everyone's ears?
Now that the emperor has summoned the big guys to assemble at Xuanwu Gate, what is this for?
Take the road of the oppressed King Qin again, and remember the hardships of entrepreneurship?
This is obviously not in line with the political slogan and national conditions of Datang ruling the world with benevolence and filial piety! The chairman of the football league in the Tai Chi Palace must not be angry to death?
Or do you want to take a big job to meet Boss Li's heroic spirit and tell him that the Tang Dynasty is thriving now?
Well, this intention is possible, but it shouldn't be to go to Xuanwu Gate, but to the tomb of King Xi!
With all kinds of speculations, the named ministers followed the old eunuch to Xuanwu Gate.
Upon arrival, a guess could be successfully disproved. That is to remember the hardships of entrepreneurship.
After all, the Emperor Taishang and the chairman of the Football League are working with His Majesty the Emperor at this time!
If it is really a remembrance, will it be in front of the old saint?
You don't think so if you have a paste in your head!
"All here?"
The emperor grinned, did not explain the purpose, but said lightly: "Then let's go!" ”
It seems that Xuanwu Gate is not a destination yet!
What kind of trouble does the emperor want? Going out with a big job?
I didn't see anything the emperor had prepared!
The ministers were all eight claws, but they could only follow His Majesty Li Er all the way.
Passing through the Xuanwu Gate, many people in the crowd couldn't help but remember the hard road of entrepreneurship!
Well, it was here, the emperor's arrow, it was simply an arrow, and it was directly ...... Cough!
Well, it was here that we killed the incompetent prince who couldn't shoot the arrow with an arrow by the emperor's side!
Well, right here......
Ahem, there's something wrong with the style of painting!
His Majesty Li Er coughed dryly and woke up those guys who recalled the prosperous years in the west.
Your father is still here, and you all show memoralizing expressions, who do you show them to? The face of the father next to him is dark, is this to make me angry with the father after shooting the eldest brother in the Xuanwu Gate?
Those memorial guys grinned one by one, and couldn't help but look into the distance......
The group continued on their way, about four or five miles.
The Emperor finally stopped.
It's an open flat land!
This is what came to the eyes of the ministers and emperors. Seven or eight huge pieces of red silk cloth were hiding something unknown not far away, and they looked quite large! On the edge of the red cloth stood a man dressed in a craftsman's costume.
Well?
There was also a group of men in front of the red silk cloth, who seemed to carry sticks on their backs. The first three...... Li Jing knew that it was his two sons, as well as Tang Laosi.
Tang Jian also knew that it was his own son and someone else's two sons.
The rest of the people present also knew each other, it was someone else's son, the brothers Tang Laosi and Li Dejian.
Behind Donald Laosi's group of people, there was a group of people wearing leather armor and fish scale armor! One by one, they stood straight and didn't move!
No, no, those are not people! It's the wooden people!
It seems that Donald Lao Si has made some moths again!
Sure enough, the emperor grinned and said, "Do you still remember the things in the sky in Chang'an East City on the Shangyuan Festival?" Donald said that today let everyone see the better looks, so I will bring you here! ”
What the emperor said was actually the original words of Tang Laosi to the emperor: "If you want to see the big fireworks, you won't be scattered for five miles outside the Xuanwu Gate tomorrow morning!" ”
cough, such a twist and turn, to be honest, His Majesty Li Er really has the urge to beat people! This Nima, is it playing or playing?
If it weren't for the emperor's father-in-law who accidentally remembered the agreement of the day, it is estimated that the emperor would have learned from the sister-in-law in the palace of the Emperor to run at night that night!
Of course, the red-whisked woman ran at night for men, and if the emperor really ran at night last night, it must have been because he wanted to beat people!
Ahem, back to business!
Tang Laosi, who was wearing a navy camouflage uniform, walked up to His Majesty Li Er, gave a military salute and said, "Your Majesty, the weapons are ready, please instruct Your Majesty!" ”
It turned out to be a new weapon!
The ministers finally understood what they were doing here, and it turned out that the gunpowder superintendent had come up with a new weapon.
However, for the new weapons, everyone does not have much expectation in their hearts. It's the same as the clay pot and the tin pot.
Boom......! And then blow it up!
The emperor didn't see the expression of the civil and military lineage, and he himself was a little excited: "Okay, let me see and understand!" ”
"Yes!"
Donald gave another military salute, turned around and ran to the queue with sticks and said, "Everyone, the wooden man behind the target, prepare for three shots!" ”
The craftsmen turned around one after another and quickly lined up in line!
Tang Heshang said coldly: "Shoot!" ”
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
Smoke rose from the ranks, and the sound of crackling, hard objects smashing against the iron armor rang out.
His Majesty Li Er and the ministers saw the first queue of sticks emit flames and smoke and erupt, and after the eruption, the second queue and the third queue radiated in turn!
At the end of the first round, the first queue is exactly finished reloading, and then the second round of spraying begins.
After that, the third round, the fourth round!
After a full ten rounds...... Finally stopped!
Only then did Tang Heshang turn around, walk up to His Majesty Li Er again, and said: "Your Majesty, you guys, this thing is called a flintlock musket, with a maximum range of two hundred steps, and it can shoot through leather armor within one hundred and fifty steps, and can shoot through fish scale armor within one hundred steps!" The effective damage range is 80 steps! Your Majesty, please! ”
A hundred steps of internal ejaculation through the fish scale armor?
The generals are unbelievable!
You know, the best shooters don't dare to say that!
Even if it is Li Guang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the arrow feather is not in the stone, it is just an exaggeration!
"Good!"
His Majesty Li Er nodded, turned his head and said, "That Aiqing went to see those wooden people and confirmed it?" ”
"A certain wish!"
Standing up was Wei Chigong, the one-meter-nine Black Tower not only has a good lance skill, but also excellent archery skills. With his common sense, even with his own arm strength, he didn't dare to say that he could penetrate the fish scale armor a hundred steps away!
Not to mention the group of guys in the clothes of craftsmen in front of them!
If they can all penetrate the fish scale armor from a hundred steps away, how can Wei Chi, the top five generals of the Tang Dynasty, be mixed?
His Majesty Li Er nodded in permission. Wei Chigong walked directly towards the wooden man a hundred paces away.
"Shhh
As soon as he walked next to the wooden man, Wei Chigong took a deep breath.
Because he saw that the fish scale armor on the wooden man was full of Confucius. From the point of view of the old and the new, it is all new holes!
At this moment, Wei Chigong finally understood that what Tang Heshang said was true! Because he knows that Donald Si's doll will not do anything about this kind of thing.
Dismantling the fish scale armor of a wooden man, Yu Chigong saw that there were black holes in the wooden man. He pulled out his dagger and plunged it into a hole in the wooden man's body.
After a while, a deformed piece of lead appeared in front of him. Yu Chigong estimated the depth of the hole on the wooden man's body, at least three points!
If this is a change for people...... Although I don't dare to say that it is cold, it is ironclad to penetrate the internal organs.
Thinking about this, Wei Chigong felt a little chill in his back, if this was the case, more than ten or twenty people gathered fire a hundred steps away from him. There was no doubt that he felt that he had no chance of surviving.
turned around and walked back, the more Wei Chigong felt uncomfortable. Although he and Cheng Yanjin like to pretend to be stupid in Pinri, can the guy who may be mixed with Guogong be stupid?
Wei Chigong can think of it with PY that the era of military generals is over!
No matter how strong you are, in the face of this burning stick-like thing, Yu Chi Hei thinks that he has not yet reached the divine realm where he can dodge on the spot.
A thick loneliness rose in his heart, and he was afraid that in the future, the generals would no longer be popular.
"Your Majesty!"
Yu Chigong's tone was a little lonely: "The minister can confirm that all the fish scale armor of the wooden people has been penetrated, and the things made of lead are three points into the wood." If it is replaced by a minister, the minister has already fallen. ”
"Shhh
Wei Chigong's words made many generals take a deep breath.
This black guy can only admit that he has fallen, how many people in this Datang can confidently survive?
One of them is all wood!
Whether it is Brother Qin, who is known as the God of War, or Cheng Hei, who prides himself on ranking in the top five, and is actually in the top five, or Hou Junji, who was born in a gangster......
The emperor didn't feel this way, and after listening to Wei Chigong's answer, he grinned and said, "Very good!" What is the yield of this item? ”
This is the emperor's concern, weapons should be real to enhance the military strength of the Tang Dynasty. The first is energy production, otherwise what's the point of making it?
"At present, we can only produce 500 pieces a month, and there are too few qualified steels!"
Li Decheng stepped forward and replied: "If the steel production increases, we can achieve at least 1,000 pieces per month, and the output will increase geometrically." ”
What is the way of geometry, His Majesty Li Er doesn't understand, but he can grasp the key point and "rise"! With a satisfied smile, His Majesty Li Er said: "Five hundred is already good, two months is enough for Ying Yangwei to change his clothes!" If the output can really reach 1,000 pieces per month, one Wei can be redressed in two years, and in just six years, as long as three Wei have such weapons, Datang can be afraid of anyone! ”
"Your Majesty Xie understands!"
The two brothers bowed.
Li Er waved his hand and said, "It seems that there are other things, let me open my eyes first, and then I will give you a commendation from the Gunpowder Supervision after reading it!" ”
"Yes!"
The two Li Dejian brothers agreed in unison, and then Li Dejiao took out two flags, one red and one blue, from behind him and waved them vigorously.
I saw that the craftsmen standing beside the red silk cloth shook their unicorn arms one after another and lifted the red cloth at once!
The jet-black and shiny Big Mac appeared in the ministers' field of vision.
"How many pounds of iron does this cost?"
Wei Zheng couldn't help but say: "If this is made into a farm tool, how many people will it feed?" ”
"Four thousand pounds each!"
Tang Heshang pointed to the six-foot-long giant that was mounted with bearings and wheels and said, "Duke Wei, this thing is called the red-clothed cannon, and a total of eight have been made so far. Wei Gong, please don't feel sorry for the steel first, if Wei Gong thinks it's not worth it after seeing the effect, Tang will melt them and make them into farm tools! ”
Be empathetic!
Wei Zheng nodded after hearing this, and thought in his heart that he was worthy of the young man he saw, but unfortunately it was not his son.
"Your Majesty, Princess!"
Li Desheng grinned and explained under the guidance of Tang Heshang's eyes: "This cannon is made according to the principle of Shangyuan Festival fireworks, by using gunpowder to push out iron balls, lead balls or flowering bullets the size of a fist. The design drawings were given by Tang County, and the longest range was eight miles! It's a magic weapon for attacking and defending the city wall! This will be followed by a demonstration of solid buckshot and then a demonstration of hollow bullets! ”
"Try!"
His Majesty Li Er was obviously a little impatient when he heard this.
Li Decheng nodded, holding the flag and waving it again.
Fifty paces away, the craftsmen took out a wooden stick wrapped in silk cloth around their heads and began to pound at the giant.
About one hundred and twenty breaths, all the artillery was ready, and one thumb after another came out of the craftsman's right hand.
This is the sign language designed by Donald Si, the craftsmen all stuff their ears with cotton one by one, and flag language and sign language are the best way to communicate!
I saw Li De Award raise his hands high, and then waved them down!
The craftsmen took out their fire folds and lit the fuse sticking out of the barrel.
"Bang!"
......
Eight violent noises rang out, and eight iron balls flew out at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It's only twenty breaths, His Majesty Li Er has counted, and there are only twenty breaths!
"Boom!" A sound came~!
Everyone present saw that the wall made of stones a few miles away collapsed!
"Who's going to see again?"
His Majesty Li Er has spoken!
Hou Junji took the order, rode over at a gallop, and soon, galloped back.
"Your Majesty!"
The next secretary of the military department arched his hand and reported: "The minister has seen it, and the city wall made of stone and earth has collapsed!" The minister inspected the city wall that was not hit, and it was no different from the city wall of Datang County! ”
"Shhh
The sound of inhaling cold air sounded again, and for a while, the air was much thinner.
Everyone understood what Hou Junji meant, meaning that as long as there are a few of these things, then defending the city will become a joke.
What a five-fold siege and a tenfold attack!
With this thing, it only takes three, not twice as many people, to let this cannon roar in turns, collapse the city wall, and then directly engage in hand-to-hand combat!
Even if it is replaced with field ...... Isn't that ploughing?
