Lu Dongzan of Tibet, he tried his best to calculate the Tang Dynasty, but at this time, the Tang Dynasty began to plan for the worst, that is, war, and the gold and silver dug up by Li Zhan from Wadao were continuously transported back to the Tang Dynasty.

Twenty percent of the gold and silver were transported to Dengzhou by Li Zhan, and 80 percent were all transported to Li Chengqian's China Banking Regulatory Commission.

In the future, people in Datang no longer need to bring much money, and large transactions can be traded with gold or silver coins, which is very light.

There are also gold and silver coins of the Tang Dynasty, the gold coin is printed with the head of Li Shimin, and the silver coin is printed with the head of Li Zhan, and a gold coin or silver coin is added with 20% of other metals.

But the production is still exquisite, and all the major families have snapped up a lot, and Li Shimin has made a lot of money just for the two percent of the other metals.

The current Li Shimin's family background is called a strong one, not to mention fighting one Tubo, that is, the money to launch three attacks on Tubo is available.

So when Lu Dongzan was there to calculate the Tang Dynasty, the entire Datang didn't matter, because in the face of absolute power, no one would be afraid.

The end of the year is approaching... Li Chengqian has been staying at the China Banking Regulatory Commission during this time, and the addition of Li Zhan's avatar to the silver coin was promoted by Li Chengqian, and it was originally proposed that Li Shimin be used for gold coins and Li Chengqian for silver coins.

But he was opposed by Li Chengqian, and followed Li Chengqian to the table, and the silver coin used Li Zhan's avatar, Li Shimin agreed, and he agreed very happily, because this is brotherhood.

Li Shimin agrees with Li Chengqian's approach very much, right... There is also good news that during Li Chengqian's days at the China Banking Regulatory Commission, Li Chengqian also ushered in the birth of his first son, Li Ju.

Li Ju is where Hou Ruixin is, and Su Wan is not pregnant for the time being.

After Li Ju was born, Li Zhan passed on his behalf, and in the future, Li Ju will be taught by Li Zhan himself, Hou Ruixin, Hou Junji... That's grateful to Dade, and because of this, Hou Junji has no other thoughts in his heart.

Protecting Tang wholeheartedly is the only thought in Hou Junji's heart.

And during this period of time, Li Zhan was also busy, and this busyness added a mysterious atmosphere in addition to Li Zhan's running outside Chang'an City every day.

Almost no other people have been to the places where Li Zhan went, including Li Chengqian.

If this is changed to someone else, Li Shimin will immediately go to investigate as soon as possible, because there is no possibility that there will be something in Chang'an City that will hide from Li Shimin, but Li Zhan should be the only one, why... Because Li Shimin's trust in Li Zhan is very high.

So where did Li Zhan go?

A carriage slowly entered a village, this village is about thirty miles away from Chang'an City, covering an area about the size of three football fields, Li Zhan got out of the carriage, and then saw Gao Hu greet him with a smile and said, "Your Highness...!" ”

Seeing Gao Hu, Li Zhan also got off the road: "How is today?" ”

"The pace has come up... It's just that there is a limit to manpower, otherwise, 1,000 pills a day, there is no problem. ”

Gao Hu replied with a smile, and when he heard this, Li Zhan also nodded and said, "Then you have to work hard... I want 100,000... This time, I relied on this thing to let the Tubo army know that we are powerful. ”

"Your Highness... Can we increase the number of people? Gao Hu asked.

At this time, Li Zhan looked a little embarrassed, and finally shook his head and said, "Forget it... The fewer people who know about this thing, the better, if it weren't for the fact that Tubo was too arrogant, to be honest, I don't want to make this thing, its appearance will change a lot of things, this is not what I want. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhan once again remembered the time capsule found around here a year ago, and it was not long before this time capsule was about to be opened, and Li Zhan didn't know what was recorded in it... So Li Zhan wondered if he could give the time capsule to his own hands.

This time capsule is really weird, Li Zhan always feels bad, this time to get this thing out, will it indicate that he is being manipulated by someone.

Thinking of this, Li Zhan sighed slightly.

"Your Highness... Let's go to the workshop...! Gao Hu saw that Li Zhan's face was not good, and bowed slightly.

Hearing Gao Hu's words, Li Zhan nodded, and then followed Gao Hu into the village, at this time the village had been completely closed by the Tiger Army, and only Li Zhan's warrant could enter.

What the hell is going on inside... In fact, it is not a mysterious thing, at this time the village is making gunpowder, followed by the production of grenades.

The grenade made by Li Zhan is a very simple kind, I don't know if you have seen the bright sword, Comrade Li Yunlong foamed at the mouth of the bright sword for a whole two hours.

Why did Li Yunlong himself say that this was a broken thing that was blown up in half, but he still didn't give up on the mill director to spare him a few more boxes? Quite simply, because this was the only weapon that the Eighth Route Army could be self-sufficient at that time, except for the broadsword.

Compared with pistols and rifle machine gun bullets that require accurate metal cartridge shells, the manufacturing process of hand grenades can be regarded as the lowest requirements in modern weapons, and it can not be lower, the most basic grenade only needs a cast iron bullet, and the cavity inside is filled with the most rudimentary black powder, and a wooden handle is installed behind, and the wooden handle is drilled with a small hand drill to drill a hole, which is filled with several layers of thick paper firecracker powder twist, and a friction fire pipe, which is OK.

But such a grenade in modern times may not be very advanced, but in Datang, such a thing is enough to stand out from the crowd, you must know that Li Zhan originally didn't want to take out the black powder.

Because Li Zhan didn't want to speed up the process of science and technology, Li Zhan was afraid that speeding up the process of science and technology would accelerate the fate of human cannibalism, and he wanted to slowly advance it according to history.

It's just a pity that people are always not as good as the sky, Tubo attacked, and then begged for relatives with great fanfare, and it was your sister who begged for it, this is your Tubo looking for death, Li Zhan once boasted of Haikou in front of Li Shimin.

He only brought his own Tiger Army and Tiger Army to face Tubo and Tuyuhun, and this gunpowder grenade was Li Zhan's last and strongest reliance.

Li Zhan walked into the village, here are basically the residents of Li Zhan's Dunhua Fang, these people are loyal, Li Zhan hopes to protect the secret of black powder to the greatest extent, however, Li Zhan also knows that this secret can't be kept for a long time, but Li Zhan can only do his best to protect it.

Seeing Li Zhan, the people working in the village were very happy to greet Li Zhan, Li Zhan also responded one by one, and finally Li Zhan came to the finished warehouse of the grenade, how to say it, the grenade made by Li Zhan here dare not say that it is stronger than the modern grenade, but it is several times stronger than the border area made in the mouth of Lao Li.

If one is thrown out, there will be no result of one explosion and two halves, because Li Zhan's black powder is enough, not only that, but Li Zhan's other things are also better than the Eighth Route Army in that period.

So Li Zhan's grenade, the radius of attack is within twenty-five meters ... It's enough to blow you up.

"Your Highness... Do you want to try one...! ”

Gao Hu smiled and said to Li Zhan: "This thing is really interesting, if something doesn't go your way, throw out a few... There will be a lot less of things that don't go well. ”

"Huh...!" Li also smiled and looked at Gao Hu and said, "Has Huhou tried it?" ”

"Hey...!" Gao Hu smiled and said: "When I tried last time, those guys didn't dare, so I came, lead, exploded... It's all very ideal, how about it, Your Highness would like to try your hand...! ”

"Let's go...!" Li Zhan laughed.

On the other hand, the shadow elder on the side followed with a somewhat worried instruction: "Your Highness, you must be careful...!" ”

"Haha...!" Li Zhan looked at the worried Ying Lao and laughed, in fact, this gunpowder is not as terrible as imagined, as long as you follow the operation process, there is no problem.

Soon, Li Zhan followed Gao Hu to the place where the grenades were tested, and Gao Hu brought a box of grenades, but because Li Zhan was in urgent need of grenades now, he left five of them.

The main thing is that Li Zhan wants to feel the power of this grenade.

Igniting the fuses one by one, Li Zhan threw the grenades in his hands one by one.

"Bang...!" "Bang...!" "Bang...!" "Bang...!" "Bang...!"

There were five explosions in a row on the opposite side, setting off a cloud of dust, and when the dust was slightly immersed, Ying Lao was shocked to find that there were actually five small pits in front, although the pit was not very big, but where to find such a weapon in this era at this time.

"This is a thermal weapon...!" The corners of Li Zhan's eyes moved slightly.

You must know that the mortality rate in the era of cold weapons is very high, and fighting in ancient times was very cruel, and soldiers in the era of cold weapons basically didn't think that they could come back alive when they went to the battlefield, and the battle loss ratio of each war was also surprisingly high.

Basically, the tactics of annihilation are adopted, for fear that leaving a living mouth will cause endless trouble, so this increases the cruelty of the war.

In times of peace, it is difficult for us to imagine the cruelty of war.

But in ancient times, all dynasties had wars, and there was no dynasty that did not fight. Some of the idioms about war handed down from ancient times, such as bloody rafting, horse leather shroud, bloody battle, etc., can get a glimpse of the bloody cruelty of ancient warfare from these idioms.

In ancient times, people fought wars, mostly using cold weapons to fight hand-to-hand, and the brutality of the scene can be imagined.

In an ancient battle, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people died were considered few. And that's just the number of fallen soldiers, not counting the innocent people who suffered as a result of the war. In ancient times, there was also a special practice of treating prisoners of war, which further increased the death toll, and that was pit killing.

The Qin State killed the god Bai Qi, and once killed 400,000 prisoners of war of the Zhao State in one fell swoop in the Battle of Changping, plus the Qin army's own casualties, this war was fought, and the death toll reached as many as 700,000.

This battle lasted for three years from the beginning of the confrontation between the two armies, until Zhao Guo removed the main general Lian Po and replaced the junior general Zhao Kuo, and finally divided the victory and defeat.

In the Battle of Changping, the two armies of Qin and Zhao faced off on the front line for three years, and hundreds of thousands of people ran out of food and grass. The ancients also had a very cruel way to prepare grain and grass when they fought wars, which was to eat people.

After An Lushan was assassinated by his son An Qingxu, An Qingxu led the rebels to be invincible, and even conquered Luoyang and Chang'an. The crown prince at that time, Li Heng, succeeded to the throne as emperor and began to settle the judgment.

But the war broke out everywhere, and it was also anxious for a while. At that time, Suiyang's guard was called Zhang Xun, and An Qingxu led an army of 100,000 to surround Suiyang. There were only less than 8,000 people in Suiyang City, Zhang Xun still insisted on leading these 8,000 people to defend for 10 months, and there was no food and grass in the city.

There is also Zhao Sijuan, who took the initiative to eat people, he served as a festival envoy in the Han Dynasty after five generations, and he liked to fight and kill the most. After he led his army to occupy Chang'an, he ordered people to gather all the children in Chang'an City, kill them, cook them and make them into jerky, and serve as food and grass for the army.

In ancient times, communication was not smooth, transportation was inconvenient, such as the Battle of Changping for three or four years, it was a normal thing. The army had to fight in all directions, and hundreds of thousands of people marched by foot strength.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, a peasant uprising broke out, and the flames of war burned all over the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty had limited imperial forces, and as soon as this battle ended, the army was about to go out to suppress a rebellion in another place. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the wounded soldiers to receive effective treatment, and they can only ask for more blessings for themselves.

Even if you don't die during the battle, you may die from infection on the rest of the march. Most of the bodies of the fallen were buried on the spot. In the end, he mingled with the corpses of the enemy, and his descendants could not even find a place to worship.

In ancient wars, there was also a very cruel method of disposing of corpses, called Chikyokan. When one side wins, the corpses of the enemy's dead soldiers are collected, piled up in the shape of towers, and then piled on top of dirt to shoot them down. This mountain of corpses is called Kyokan and is used to deter enemies.

In ancient times, conquests not only consumed military strength, but also seriously endangered people's livelihood. The deadliest war in Chinese history... In the Taiping War, more than 70 million people died. The Taiping Rebellion broke out in 1851 and took 13 years for the Qing Dynasty to successfully suppress the rebels. In the past 13 years, the war has caused a total of 70 million deaths, and the total population loss is more than 100 million.

But these are still not comparable to thermal weapons, in 1945, Japan's defeat was decided, and the United States wanted Japan to surrender as soon as possible.

At the same time, for military and political reasons, the United States decided to drop atomic bombs on one of the four Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as originally planned. However, after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan at that time, they did not choose to surrender.

And the United States, in order to end World War II ahead of schedule, dropped the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan. So how many people were killed or injured in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan because of these two atomic bombs at that time?

It is known that in Hiroshima, Japan at that time, the atomic bomb exploded in the air 600 meters above the ground. A deafening explosion erupted over Hiroshima City, and in an instant, a huge mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke rose to the city, and Hiroshima City was immediately reduced to a sea of fire.

At a distance of 16 km, one can still feel the sultry airflow. Of the more than 340,000 people in Hiroshima at the time, more than 88,000 died and 51,000 were injured or missing.

However, the tragedy of Hiroshima did not make Japan realize the seriousness of the situation, and Japan still wanted to continue fighting, so the United States dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki. Nagasaki had a population of more than 270,000, and more than 60,000 died that day, causing another tragedy.

Later, Japan also made special statistics, about 240,000 people died, more than 310,000 people were injured, and 8 million people were homeless. This tragedy must have happened, and I hope that Japan will always remember that war is cruel.

Although there are not as many people who die as in the period of cold weapons, the death of hot weapons is instantaneous, and hundreds of thousands of people die in an instant, which is incomparable to cold weapons.

If Li Zhan's hot weapon is handed over to a murderer, the consequences are unforeseeable, so Li Zhan will do his best to curb the power of the hot weapon.
