Chapter 522: Are You the God of Thunder?

After Li Dongsheng finished paying the money, he left the camp and went straight to Chang'an. 35xs: He's going to get the big killer out.

"What do you want? saltpeter, sulfur, lime, lacquer, tung oil, pine resin. Li Shimin looked at the dense things written on a piece of paper, and asked strangely, "What do you want these things for?" ”

Li Dongsheng said, "Your Majesty, didn't you ask me to set up a firearms camp, this is to make firearms." ”

"Firearms are made out of these things? Isn't it very similar to alchemy? Li Shimin was very dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, this is just an experiment, these materials are all experiments, try it to see if it can have an effect."

"Don't you need that musket of yours? I think that's pretty simple. ”

"Your Majesty, making one of that thing is not the same thing as making thousands. What if you can make a few thousand? The cost is sky-high, plus this thing is easy to damage, and the shooting distance is close, and the rush of tens of thousands of people on the battlefield has no effect. ”

Li Shimin was right after thinking about it, the shooting distance was not as far as that of a bow and arrow, and it could only be put once, so it was useless. He nodded, "That's right." Li Dongsheng was just about to say goodbye, but Li Shimin remembered again, "A month has passed, how are your military training?" Don't disgrace me with this new army I have formed. Flash"

"I will not disappoint Your Majesty!"

Li Dongsheng didn't want to release the monster of gunpowder, and he now has a serious persecution plot, but Li Shimin's sudden appointment made him have no way out. I only blame myself for being cheap, why do you put that shot when you have already won the battle. Now no one dares to do anything with him, but the shrewd Li Shimin knows about this thing, how can he let it go easily.

After thinking about it, Li Dongsheng felt that it was better to make something simple, which was this grenade. Since ancient times, farming people have always suffered from nomadic people. Why? It is because the nomads have horses, he comes and goes like the wind, and after winning these grassland peoples, he ran far away, and the land he occupied was all grass, and the rest of the hair was not a single hair, once the Central Plains Dynasty itself weakened, those grassland peoples resurrected, rushed in to burn and kill, and plunder.

Why haven't we heard of the nomads' harm now? Because since the advent of machine guns, nomads have become good at singing and dancing. It can be said that only firearms are the only way to contain cavalry!

But now Li Dongsheng didn't dare to get the arquebus out, that was his biggest reliance, but he sat in the position of the commander of the firearms battalion, and he also needed political achievements, so he could only make black powder!

Gunpowder has long appeared in China, but the best recipe for saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal to prepare gunpowder will not appear in China until the middle and late Ming Dynasty. 35xs Li Dongsheng knew that he made this, and that was to really change history. The war in the future will be a qualitative change.

Li Dongsheng built another workshop near the barracks, which was heavily guarded and guarded by military police, and no one was allowed to enter without Li Dongsheng's signature. These craftsmen were all asked by Li Dongsheng to come to the Ministry of Industry, including blacksmiths, carpenters, etc. With Li Dongsheng's bug, within two days, some powder that can burn violently was prepared, and then Li Dongsheng ordered someone to put it into a clay pot, bury it in the soil, and ignite it with a lead. I heard a "bang", and the earth flew up, and I saw a five-foot-sized pit on the ground, and the fragments of the broken clay pot even flew fifty paces away.

Li Dongsheng looked at it and nodded, this power can be used as a landmine. When the time comes, bury the clay pot on the road of the enemy's attack, and after igniting the fire, it is estimated that it will scare all the enemy horses!

Li Dongsheng is also happy in his heart, he has a killing weapon in his hand, and he has it in the world. But this can only be thought about, if you say it, it is estimated that the whole family's head will fall off tonight. However, there are tung oil and pine resin on the scene, whether it can be made into incendiary bombs, and horses are also afraid of fire.

Li Siwen, Wei Chi Baolin, Xi Junmai, Daniel Zhang, these Li Dongsheng's irons, were also stunned by the earth-shattering sound of this thing, which was beyond their imagination.

Li Siwen was the first to react, "Obediently, this thing is terrible, if it is thrown into the cavalry of the Turks, they will not all become stupid." It's not time for us to slaughter. ”

Yu Chi Baolin nodded in agreement with Xi Junmai, "With one, none of us are afraid, when the time comes, we can ride a horse and throw it away, just kill it directly." General, no wonder we call the firearms battalion, it's too powerful. ”

Only Daniel Zhang puffed and knelt on the ground, "Young Master, you are the god of thunder, so there is this earth-shaking thunder." ”

Li Dongsheng smiled and kicked him lightly, "Get out!" Don't make people laugh, you go back and train the soldiers for me, one is the queue, the other is the horsemanship, if Your Majesty is not satisfied, we don't know anything? ”

"General, rest assured, the matter of training will be left to us. Now everyone eats well, the salary is high, although the training is a little harder, but everyone's morale is very high, and even the high-level trial line does not dare to have any ideas. ”

Looking at the craftsmen who also didn't believe that they had made this big killing weapon, Li Dongsheng said, "You can put the things into the iron shell I gave you according to this proportion, and make a few hundred for me first." You know? ”

"My lord has a life, and I will finish it later." These people are in awe and awe of Li Dongsheng, and they really treat him as a god.

Li Shimin's Huangzhuang is surrounded by mountains, and in a valley there is only one sheep intestine path leading directly to the official road, except for the original tenants, the rest of the time is inaccessible, and it is a relatively good military camp station. In the past few days, no one has been allowed to approach the barracks for ten miles, and the residents in the distance have heard the rumbling sound of the valley all day long, and some superstitious people have even knelt down to pray, thinking that something terrible has happened.

The more than 2,000 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were divided into three battalions, with Li Dongsheng, Gao Shenxing, and Xi Junmai each leading one battalion, and the results of the high-intensity training for two consecutive months were very obvious.

It turned out that these soldiers were the elite of the Right Guard, and their physical fitness was better than that of ordinary soldiers, and after months of training, everyone looked thicker. The basic qualities such as endurance and physical strength have been greatly improved.

Finally came the day of Li Shimin's inspection, the mighty team startled Li Dongsheng, originally thought that he brought those people from the military department over, who knew that he brought all the ministers over, what does this mean? Outing? The firearms battalion is a mass murder weapon, do the people of the whole country who want to engage in it know it?

When the group arrived in the mountains, the passage was winding and quiet, and the temperature was at least several degrees lower than that of the outside world, such a cool and pleasant environment made a group of people from Chang'an refreshed, Li Shimin looked at Li Dongsheng and said, "I gave you such a good place to the firearms battalion, if you don't make achievements, are you worthy of my efforts?" ”
