Ten days after the good news came, Hou Junji and Su Dingfang returned to Chang'an with their respective soldiers and horses.

The two entered the hall and told Li Shimin about the situation.

It's a bit of a rhetoric.

Although there are many places that deliberately put gold on their faces, many things are also inevitable to tell the truth, such as trebuchets, such as ladders.

And when the ministers heard that Qin Tian had actually transformed the ladder and trebuchet, they were all shocked.

"Isn't it, the little marquis actually transformed the trebuchet stronger?"

"More range, more power? If this is the case, even against the Turkic cavalry, we will have a chance of victory. ”

"Who's to say no, sharp arrows don't have a very big impact on cavalry, but boulders are not easy to say."

"The most powerful thing is the transformation of the ladder, which will directly affect the siege of the city in the future."

"Who said no, with this kind of ladder, the siege will no longer become so terrible."

"Master Hou, what a capable person."

“…………”

After Hou Junji and Su Dingfang finished talking about how they put down the rebellion, everyone completely ignored the merits of the two of them, and even ignored the head of the king of Chu that they got back.

Even, many people want to see the power of ladders and trebuchets.

Everyone talked about it, and Hou Junji's heart was a little hurt.

Su Dingfang here, but he stood up directly: "Shengshang, General Hou and I have destroyed the rebels, this is the head of the King of Chu." ”

After Su Dingfang opened his mouth like this, the ministers finally did not continue to discuss.

Li Shimin glanced at the head of the King of Chu in Su Dingfang's hand, the head had already been dealt with, so in such a summer, it could also be kept from being rotten for a long time.

It's just that when he saw Li Hedong's head, Li Shimin didn't show much excitement, on the contrary, he couldn't help but sigh.

When he was still very young, Li Hedong also held him in his arms and teased him, many years ago, the relationship between their uncle and nephew was not good.

It's just that now, the two meet in such a way, which can't help but sigh.

However, after Li Shimin sighed, he quickly recovered.

"General Hou and General Su have made meritorious contributions to breaking the enemy, and ordered the officials to reward them according to their merits."

Li Shimin didn't say much, but just said that he would be rewarded according to his merits.

This made Hou Junji and Su Dingfang a little disappointed, but they couldn't say anything about this, after all, Li Shimin didn't say no reward, and there was no problem with the officials rewarding them according to their merits.

The ministers discussed again in the early court, and after retreating, they went to see the power of the ladder and trebuchet.

Hou Junji and Su Dingfang returned to the camp separately.

Both of them had a feeling of being toyed with by Qin Tian, they felt that Qin Tian might have known that the credit for killing the King of Chu was not great, so he gave them it, and the mining of iron ore was a great credit, and everything Qin Tian did was to lure them back.

Then, monopolize the credit for the iron ore.

"His grandmother's, this kid has taken the lead again......"

-----------------

At the end of summer, Jingzhou City.

Jingzhou City at the end of summer is still surprisingly hot, which makes people a little unbearable.

In the barracks, Qin Tian usually took off his shirt and dealt with things in the big tent, there was no way, he really couldn't stand the weather here.

And it was at this time that he finally received an edict from the imperial court.

Let him transport the mined iron ore back to Chang'an, Li Shimin has prepared an weapons bureau for him in Chang'an, and let him specialize in forging weapons.

After receiving the edict, Qin Tian was overjoyed, and after calling Cheng Chumo and the others over, he told him about the situation, and then prepared a carriage to pull the pig iron they mined back to Beijing.

Of course, here in the iron mine, someone from the imperial court will soon take over.

Iron ore has always been in the hands of the imperial court, because iron tools are things that make weapons, and in order to prevent civil rebellion, they must be controlled by the imperial court.

During this time, Qin Tian mined a lot of pig iron, of course, a large part of it was mined by the people of the King of Chu in the past, and Qin Tian ate ready-made.

After the pig iron was loaded, they did not stay in Jingzhou for long, and rushed directly to Chang'an City.

Iron is heavy, so it's not a quick ride.

It wasn't until early autumn that they finally returned to Chang'an City.

At this time, many people were about to forget about Jing Chu's rebellion, so after Qin Tian returned to Chang'an, it didn't cause much of a sensation, and after he returned to Chang'an City, he just entered the palace directly.

At this time, the early dynasty had ended, and he came directly to the imperial study.

Li Shimin had already learned the news of Qin Tian's return and had been waiting for him.

"Qin Aiqing has made a great contribution this time, you and those people in the Mad Demon Army are rewarded for their meritorious deeds."

"Thank you, Holy Lord."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "The pig iron has been shipped back?" ”

"It's been shipped back, and I've gotten it to the Weapons Bureau."

Li Shimin sighed, thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "You said on the fold that you want to forge a divine weapon, I don't know what kind of divine weapon it is, is it more powerful than the swords and guns we use now?" ”

Regarding Qin Tian's desire to forge weapons, Li Shimin still didn't have a score in his heart, so he asked again, Qin Tian said: "Holy Lord, let me tell you this, the Tang knife I forged is enough to easily cut the knife we use now into two, and the Mo knife in the Tang knife can double the power of my Tang army, and in the face of the enemy's cavalry, we can directly destroy them with our infantry." ”

Qin Tian muttered, with a feeling of running hair, which made Li Shimin feel that he was blowing a little too much.

Their current weapons in the Tang Dynasty are not bad, there is no problem in cutting a layer of armor, cutting people, and the head can also come down with a knife, Qin Tian's Tang knife can cut their knife in half, he doesn't believe it.

What made Li Shimin feel even more outrageous was facing the cavalry.

As we all know, infantry vs. cavalry, the odds of victory are not great, almost all of them are exchanging their lives, but Qin Tian said that he would destroy them directly, isn't this outrageous?

When Qin Tian said this, Li Shimin's stunned mouth was half open, and after Qin Tian finished speaking, he finally coughed twice: "Qin Aiqing, don't joke, those ministers in the court are all looking at you, if you can't do it, I can't protect you, don't you know, I agreed under the pressure of the ministers, they all think it's best to use pig iron to build farm tools." ”

Li Shimin wanted Qin Tian to know his current situation, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Qin Tian's mouth: "The Holy Lord can rest assured, when it is done, the minister will test it in front of the ministers, so that he will know whether the minister is lying or not." ”
