"Heavenly thunder? That's called gunpowder! When Li Xiu heard that Li Shimin, like everyone else, thought that Dong'an Casino was struck by a thunderbolt, he couldn't help but smile proudly and said, gunpowder is definitely one of the greatest inventions of mankind, but it is a pity that more often it is killed by human beings.

"Gunpowder? What's that? Li Shimin obviously heard this term for the first time, and his thick eyebrows were also tightly wrinkled.

"The definition of gunpowder is a bit complicated to explain, let's be intuitive, I heard that King Qin is brave in the three armies, but in the next is just a weak person, it can be said that there is no threat to King Qin, which is why King Qin dares to see me alone, but if I say, I can kill King Qin in an instant, I don't know King Qin, can you believe it?" Li Xiu smiled again and said, I'm afraid only he would dare to say anything to kill Li Shimin at such a time.

"I don't believe it!" Li Shimin shook his head almost without hesitation, on the one hand, he was confident in his own force, and secondly, as Li Xiu himself said, he was just a weak scholar, and he might not be able to beat even the most ordinary soldier on the battlefield.

"I knew you didn't believe it." Li Xiu said and suddenly reached into his sleeve, which is also what he found when he came to Datang, it turned out that the ancients used to put things in their sleeves, and there was usually a pocket in the sleeves, which was also one of the reasons why the sleeves of the ancients were so wide.

Now that the weather is cold, Li Xiu's clothes are very thick, and when he came in just now, Li Shimin didn't even let people search him, so he quickly took out a clay pot from his sleeve, the size of two fists, and the opening was also very small, tightly plugged by the wooden cork, and a piece of arquebus-like thing protruded from the wooden cork.

"You take it first, I'll go get something in the greenhouse!" Li Xiu casually stuffed this clay pot into Li Shimin's hand, and then couldn't help but say that he entered a greenhouse, although the people of the Yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture were emptied, but the greenhouse inside was still operating normally, in fact, Li Shimin also knew the importance of these corns in the greenhouse, so not only did not destroy the Ministry of Agriculture, but also sent heavy troops to guard it.

Li Xiu came to the stove in the greenhouse, opened the lid and took out a piece of red-hot coal with tongs, and then walked out again, only to see Li Shimin looking at the clay pot in his hand at this time, and when he saw him come out, he asked with a puzzled face: "What is this?" ”

"Hehe, Your Highness, don't worry, I'll show you and you'll know!" Li Xiu smiled strangely when he said this, stretched out the tongs and directly lit the fire rope of the clay pot in Li Shimin's hand, and the fire rope immediately sparked and burned, which made Li Shimin startled, but he didn't throw away the clay pot, after all, for people who have never seen the power of gunpowder, it is impossible to feel the danger at all.

Li Xiu watched the fuse burn all the way, and he didn't rush to take the clay pot, until the fuse was about to burn out, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the clay pot, and then threw it out, and pulled Li Shimin to hide behind the greenhouse, Li Shimin, who didn't know why, didn't know what was going to happen next?

As a result, as soon as the clay pot thrown out hit the ground, there was a loud "boom~" sound, the soil and debris flew around, and the smoke was filled with smoke for a while, and Li Shimin was completely stunned at this time.

As the explosion sounded, the guards outside also rushed in in a panic, and when they saw the scene of smoke and dust in the courtyard, the soldiers who ran in didn't know how to react for a while.

"It's okay, let's all go down!" At this moment, Li Shimin finally reacted, and waved his hand to let the soldiers who came in retreat, and the leading general immediately agreed, and then took everyone to retreat again.

"This is the power of gunpowder!" Li Xiu looked at Li Shimin with a smile at this time, but he found that the other party's face was very ugly, and he seemed to be a little annoyed, but this is also normal, after all, the jar just now was in his hand, and Li Xiu did not remind him of the power of this jar, if it wasn't for Li Xiu throwing the jar out at the last moment, I'm afraid the consequences would be unimaginable now.

However, although Li Shimin was annoyed, he was more curious about the power of this gunpowder, and he did not open his mouth at the moment, but strode to the place of the explosion, which was originally the farmland of the official office, and the ground was very soft, but now a small black pit had been blown up on the ground, and what surprised him even more was that a tree next to him was inlaid with a lot of broken porcelain pieces, and even some of the bark was lifted whole, just looking at this is enough to show the horror of the gunpowder.

Seeing that the power of gunpowder was so great, Li Shimin's face became more and more gloomy, and finally he couldn't help yelling at Li Xiu: "Such a dangerous thing, you actually let me hold it in your hand just now, do you want to kill me?" ”

"What are you angry about, didn't I also stand next to you, if it exploded in your hand, I would definitely not be able to escape!" Li Xiu said very calmly, in fact, he didn't think about killing Li Shimin directly, but if Li Shimin died, he would definitely not be able to escape, and Princess Pingyang and the others who were surrounded might also face the angry Tiance Army, so this was definitely not a good idea.

"You ......" Li Shimin was even more annoyed when he saw Li Xiu's calm appearance, but he couldn't find a rebuttal, so he could only stare at him viciously at the moment, but his evaluation of Li Xiu in his heart was raised to a higher level again, and he even doubted that the entire Datang could still find a talent like Li Xiu?

I saw that Li Xiu also came over to look at the place of the explosion at this time, and even looked at it with a porcelain piece that was deducted from the bark, and then pouted and said with some disdain: "The power is still too small, if you can purify the material and change the shell to pig iron, then the power will be even greater!" ”

"Is this power still called small?" Li Shimin looked at the porcelain tiles on the bark, and then asked with some incredulity.

"Our Datang now uses swords and other weapons when fighting, these weapons can be called cold weapons, and with the advent of gunpowder, I can design many gunpowder-based weapons, which can be called thermal weapons, and when thermal weapons reach the extreme, even a weapon can slaughter the city and destroy the country, such as our Chang'an City, a million people only need one weapon to make the entire Chang'an City without a single grass!" Li Xiu is a serious way.

Of course, Li Xiu said that these were mainly to scare Li Shimin, nuclear weapons seem to have gone beyond the scope of thermal weapons, but no one can debunk him anyway, so he can say whatever he likes.

"Then can you help me make that weapon to slaughter cities and destroy countries?" After Li Shimin saw the power of gunpowder, he was already convinced of Li Xiu's words, especially thinking that Li Xiu had been able to destroy a large casino in an instant, so no one dared to say that he was not capable of destroying a city in an instant.

Li Xiu couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Li Shimin's words, and then wrote a "e=mc2" quality method on the soil on the ground, and then looked up and asked Li Shimin: "Can you understand this?" ”

"This ...... Seems like an equation? Li Shimin looked at it for a long time, and then said with a look of shame, he had studied Li Xiu's "Li Gongzi Arithmetic", and he could also calculate some math problems, so he could see that this was an equation, but it was impossible to understand this mass-energy equation, in fact, Li Xiu only remembered this great equation, if he was asked to explain the meaning of the equation, I am afraid he would not be able to say.

"This is called the mass-energy equation, if someone can understand the meaning of this equation in the future, then it is possible to create that terrible weapon that slaughters cities and destroys countries, but I still don't want this weapon to appear, because if there is a certain amount of this weapon, it can even destroy the whole world, not to mention the country, the entire human race will have to be extinct!" Li Xiu spoke again, he may not be as good as others, but he can beat anyone in Datang with this knowledge of physics and other things.

After hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a contemplative expression, after all, there were too many things in the words that subverted his imagination, so he needed a little time to accept it.

"King Qin, I can offer you gunpowder, with this, it is not a problem at all to repel the invading Turks, and I will also do my best to assist you in completing your imperial hegemony, and Chengdao They will be exiled to the Americas and will never come back, all this only needs to be nodded by King Qin, I don't know what King Qin wants?" Li Xiu clasped his fists and saluted again at this time, and his face was very solemn.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Shimin also showed a hesitant expression for a while, as an excellent general, he saw the value of this gunpowder on the battlefield at a glance, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as it is used properly, there is no army in the world that can compete with the army of the Tang Dynasty, and he can also complete the wish of expanding the territory, and the Qin Emperor and Han Wu are just like that.

In addition, he also attaches great importance to Li Xiu's promise, compared with gunpowder, Li Xiu, the talent who offered gunpowder, is actually more important, especially Li Xiu has also offered various significant things before, such as wound stitches, alcohol, water wheels, etc., and most importantly, high-yield crops such as corn and sweet potatoes.

And Li Shimin also knows that Li Xiu is a lazy person, if he doesn't force him, he won't do things at all, and most of the above things are taken out by Li Xiu when he has no intention or other purposes, far from his real strength, if he can fully assist himself, then maybe it will have a greater impact on Datang.

However, the heart is heartbeat, Li Shimin was not carried away by Li Xiu's good promise, compared to the above benefits, he also took into account the huge trouble that Li Chengdao and these people may bring him in the future, if he is not careful, it may even threaten the throne he has already reached, which is absolutely not allowed for him. It is precisely because of this that he was also in a dilemma for a while? (To be continued.) )
