Chapter 673: Xia Sui's Rebellion (3)
Chang'an, the military department squire Li Siji's house.
Early in the morning, several fast horses entered Chang'an City from outside the city, then turned left and right, and finally came to Li Siji's house.
Li Siji's mansion is actually the Xia Guogong Mansion that Li Ye rewarded Li Sigong, but Li Sigong is in Xiazhou, so the Guogong Mansion in Chang'an is lived by Li Siji.
"Go and tell the waiter, we are from Xiazhou and have brought a letter from the Duke of the Kingdom." The man led by the few people who delivered the letter hurriedly came to the gate and said.
After the porter verified the identities of several people, he reported it to the steward, and then the steward of the house walked out and looked at the few people in front of him, "It's not a coincidence that you guys came, the squire is not in the house." β
"We have an urgent report, 100,000 urgent!" A few people from Xia Zhou were a little anxious.
"What's the matter? In such a hurry? The steward frowned.
Several people hesitated for a while, and the leader immediately explained, "Guogong is in poor health, I'm afraid his life will be short, Guogong asked the waiter to return to Xiazhou immediately." β
"What?" The steward was stunned.
In Li Siji's house, in addition to ordinary servants, the managers are basically party members, so they naturally know the importance of people from Xiazhou saying this.
"Hurry up and tell me where is the squire? We must deliver this letter to the squire. "The people who came were a little anxious.
"It's not a coincidence, the squire and a group of officials from the Privy Council and the Ministry of War followed the saint to Huazhou to inspect the Shenji Camp yesterday, and I'm afraid it won't be back until three or four days later." The steward explained.
"Can you prepare a fast horse for us? We immediately rushed to Huazhou. The person hurriedly said.
"Yes, I'll have someone take you there right away." The steward realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Li Sijian himself is a party member, and there are naturally a lot of horses in the house, and it is not difficult to find a few fast horses.
Soon, the six fast horses were led out, and after a few messengers from Xiazhou rested, they hurried to Huazhou under the leadership of the people sent by the steward.

"Ready, put!"
Boom...
After a while, a violent explosion sounded in the distance, and the wooden stakes and scarecrows that had been erected before were directly blown to pieces, and the houses collapsed directly, and debris flew in the sky.
After the smoke of gunpowder, looking through the telescope at the mess and ruined walls all over the ground, even if it was several miles away, except for Li Ye, the other accompanying officials of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War were extremely surprised.
Many of them hadn't really seen the Shenji Battalion fighting, and they didn't know the power of artillery.
But the drill continued, and after a few rounds of artillery salvos, the musketeers began to fire in a neat formation. A volley shot down, and those scarecrows who were imaginary enemies were instantly riddled with holes, and if this hit people, it was conceivable.
A series of drills made these DPRK and Chinese officials dizzy, and one by one their mouths opened wide, and it was no problem to swallow a goose egg.
The officials present were basically from the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, but except for a few officials such as Pei Rong and Li Sizhou, the other officials felt the power of artillery and muskets up close for the first time.
After the drill, Pei Rong said for the first time, "Your Majesty has such an elite division, and the pacification of the feudal town and the revival of the Tang Dynasty are just around the corner." "TV updates the fastest//

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for obtaining such an elite division!" Li Sizhou also hurriedly bowed his hand.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty..."

It took a while for the officials to react from the shock and pat themselves on the back.
Li Siji's reaction was relatively slow, because he was still immersed in the scene of the Shenji Battalion drill just now and couldn't extricate himself.
The main thing is that the power of the Divine Machine Cannon and the Divine Ce General Cannon shocked him too much.
"Li Shilang? Li Shilang? β
Seeing Li Siji, who was still in a daze, Li Ye shouted with a smile, but unfortunately the other party didn't seem to hear it. Fortunately, the official next to him poked his waist, and he reacted and hurriedly saluted Li Ye.
"Your Majesty forgives me, and the minister was shocked by the power of this artillery, so he didn't react for a while."
"It's okay!"
Li Ye smiled, and when he saw the other party's expression, he was also very satisfied.
I hope to deter the other party, so that the imperial court will be of great help in Xia Sui's affairs.
"Your Majesty, if this musket and artillery may be fully equipped in the forbidden army, I believe that no one will dare to underestimate the Tang Dynasty at that time!" Pei Rong said seriously.
"In the forbidden army all outfits? It is estimated that the household department has to block the Danfeng Gate every day, especially Li Aiqing (Li Mi), with the current situation of the national treasury, it is not enough to support such a large amount of expenses.
Moreover, this musket has a lot of drawbacks, and it is not suitable for all of them. Li Ye said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, that can popularize artillery, if there is artillery, especially the light god cannon, it may be able to play a big role in the case of encounters with enemy troops in the field." Li Sizhou suggested.
"That's for sure. For the time being, the musket is still only equipped with the Shenji Battalion, but the artillery can be done according to what King Qin said.
My plan was for each forbidden army to be equipped with a certain number of Divine Cannons or Divine General Cannons, which would strengthen the Forbidden Army's offensive and defensive capabilities.
There are artillery and Tiance cannons for siege, and the defense can be equipped with bamboo muskets and earth-shaking thunder, and when the time comes, whether it is offensive or defensive, it can greatly enhance the combat power of the forbidden army. Li Ye said his own idea.
In fact, this is not all Li Ye's ideas, but the insufficient treasury makes it impossible for him to follow his ideas, otherwise the court will collapse by him.
On the Hubu side, because of the expansion of the scale of the forbidden army, Li Ye was not less found.
The household department believes that the scale of the forbidden army is too large, and it costs a lot of money and food every year, which is a great pressure on the imperial court.
Even though the court is now doing better than before, the household department also believes that the scale of the forbidden army should be controlled.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, when you return to Chang'an, the minister will ask the military department to come up with a specific plan." Hearing what Li Ye meant, Li Sizhou knew what to do.
"This can be put on the agenda, but on the household side, the Privy Council and the military department also have to find a way to calm down the dissatisfaction over there." Thinking of Li Yu, Li Ye had a headache, so let Pei Rong and Li Sizhou go to grind with each other first.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
Pei Rong and Li Si glanced at each other and said seriously.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go and see the power of muskets and artillery up close, it's still a little unintuitive to stand so far away."
Saying that, Li Ye went to the school under the leadership of Fu Cunxian.
Of course, the musketeers here are not equipped with live ammunition, and they are more rehearsing various movements, including firing guns and changing queues.
Even Li Ye personally tried the feel of the musket equipped with the Shenji Battalion, but unfortunately for safety, there was no live ammunition drill.
Thinking of the shocking scene of the previous drill of the Shenji Battalion, the other officials were also a little hot-eyed, so they all tried it one after another to satisfy their curiosity.
Just when a group of officials here were trying to fire muskets in the Shenji Camp like a curious baby, and on the official road from Chang'an to Huazhou, six fast horses were speeding up.
