Chapter 190: A Shot for Your Majesty

Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, or Li Shimin, the current Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. They are all blindly forbearant of the Eastern Turks. The reason for this is that the Eastern Turks are too powerful, and many ethnic groups and countries such as the Khitans, Murwei, and Gaochang are subject to the Eastern Turks.

The Eastern Turks are even known to have millions of soldiers, "the prosperity of the Northern Di, and there is no such thing". This is the evaluation of the Turks at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.

Such a powerful Turkic khanate rampant in the north in the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Including Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, several princes at the end of the Sui Dynasty worshiped under the tent of the Turks.

Even during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks remained the greatest threat to the Tang Dynasty. Tang Gaozu Li Yuan even thought of moving the capital to avoid the Turkic edge. The Turkic Jieli Khan led more than 100,000 iron cavalry to the city of Chang'an, and Tang Taizong had to take out countless money and sign the Weishui Alliance to let Jieli retreat.

After eleven or twelve years of forbearance, Datang almost forgot his backbone. The border states of the Tang Dynasty were even more obedient to the orders of the Turkic Khan, which can be said to be what they wanted. The Turkic cavalry was constantly killing people and plundering livestock at the border passes.

But Li Er has never given up his ambition for Jieli, since Zhenguan he has cultivated cavalry, opened horse markets in the border passes many times, and exchanged tea and porcelain from the Tang Dynasty with the land of the six Turkic states for war horses.

Li Er knew that his strength was far inferior to that of the Turks, so he began to choose to start from another aspect. If the assault does not work, then there will be civil strife.

Both the Tuli and the current Xue Yantuo tribe have begun to break away from Jieli's control.

In the second year of Zhenguan, the situation in the Eastern Turks has deteriorated further. The Eastern Turks are located on the Mongolian Plateau, including parts north of the Yellow River.

In the first year of Zhenguan, the Eastern Turks experienced extremely cold weather. Almost all the cattle and sheep died, and the Eastern Turks fell into an unprecedented famine. Coupled with this year's drought and locust plague, the Weibei area of the Datang border pass is also seriously famine.

So even if Jieli still wants to go deep into the Tang Dynasty to loot like before, it is useless. It was at this time that the rebellion of the Turks and Xue Yantuo completely sprinkled a handful of salt on the wounds of the Turks.

Datang is eyeing the tiger, and there is countless chaos inside. The decline of the Eastern Turks has completely begun, and now that Yan'er Mountain has won a great victory, Jieli's plan to quickly pacify Xue Yantuo has also failed.

Lingzhou is still in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Daozong's 30,000 army is like a knife stuck between the Turks and Xue Yantuo. In this battle, Datang has already won.

Everyone in the court is a high-ranking lawsuit for Li Er's merits, and even the reputation of the Cheng family brothers and Qin Ze is also rising.

Li Er called Du Ruhui and others to the Imperial Garden, and he couldn't wait to let these old brothers who followed him see the new weapons of the Tang Dynasty.

Two gunpowder bullets, one the size of a fist. The whole body is made of highly brittle pig iron, and there are a large number of iron pieces inside, which is also a heavy feeling in the hand.

Where have everyone seen this thing, even if it is Li Er, last time they only saw Qin Ze light a cannon battle for himself. According to Qin Ze's description, this thing can tear apart everything within three zhang, and if the iron piece inside flies out, it will cause harm to people with a radius of ten zhang.

This is a dangerous thing, so Li Er doesn't know how to test this thing.

However, Cheng Laoyou took it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and finally his eyes lit up and he went up to smell it, and immediately laughed, he clearly knew how to get the taste of honey.

On the one hand, Du Ruhui, who has always been honest and steady, was also holding a gunpowder bullet at this time, and kept looking. Li Er didn't tell them what it was, just to seduce their curiosity. And it turns out that Li Er did it, they took this thing one by one and looked left and right, but in the end they were still confused.

"This is the key to my Datang's defeat of the Turks this time, and it is the real supreme weapon." Li Er saw that everyone was looking at him expectantly, and said deliberately with an appetite.

Several bigwigs glanced at each other, and they all saw the smugness on Li Er's face. He should indeed be proud, he had to bow down to the Turks during his reign, and now the Tang army is repelling the Turks in a dignified manner. But with this merit, it was enough for those civil officials to praise the great Majesty Li Er.

It turns out that the job of patting sycophants requires thick-skinned people, such as faceless and skinless guys like Cheng Laoyou. Without saying a word, holding the gunpowder bomb, he shouted at Li Ershili: "Your Majesty, your majesty will level the sea with divine martial arts, rule the people with virtue and morality, and influence the heavens to obtain this divine object. ”

Although Cheng Lao Demon looks like a big and three thick one on weekdays, he is a mirror in his heart. He knew what Li Er liked to hear the most, so he flattered him vigorously.

With the cheeky beginning of Cheng Laoyou, Du Ruhui and others also followed the flattery, but everyone also grasped a degree. After all, they also know that as emperors, they still can't be too arrogant, so it's enough to stop.

After flattering the ministers, they paid attention to the gunpowder bullet again. Cheng Laodemon had already started to pull the lead at this time, which made Li Er anxious, so he snatched it over, and scolded him for being a vulgar person who had never seen the world.

Cheng Lao Demon didn't refute it, anyway, this kind of relationship between monarchs and ministers was very comfortable, and he and Li Er were used to it like this on weekdays, so they didn't feel anything.

Although Li Er laughed at Cheng Laoyou's ignorance, he also made a mistake in the face of everyone's expectant gaze. This thing was so powerful according to what Qin Ze said, Li Er didn't dare to try it easily. But it was also important to be curious in my heart, and finally remembered Zhao Zhong who sent something.

Let Ruan Quan go and find the person back now, and when Ruan Quan sent someone to find Zhao Zhong, this guy was still on Suzaku Street, boasting to the people about how powerful his army was. Although he hadn't read much, Qin Ze had told him in advance when he came.

That's exciting, don't talk about these ordinary people. Even Zhao Zhong himself was stunned when he heard it, and said in his heart how this is different from what I saw.

But he listens to whatever the lieutenant says, and he's just a messenger anyway. And Deputy Lieutenant Qin said, what art is this called, and Zhao Zhong doesn't understand art or anything, but it's always right to write it down.

At this time, he was surrounded by people, and Zhao Zhong understood the hard work of the lieutenant. Didn't you see that even the son-in-law of the eldest grandson's family stood aside and listened to his story?

Ho, those literati, talents, beauties and the like are all gathered here, but Zhao Zhong is praised to the sky.

If he hadn't been found in the end and said that His Majesty wanted to see him, it is estimated that Zhao Zhong would have started to speak for the third time.

Hearing that His Majesty was going to summon him, Zhao Zhong suddenly lost his previous ecstasy. On the contrary, he trembled, and the biggest official he had ever seen when he was so old was the Overseer. When I heard that I was going to see Your Majesty, my legs trembled a little. But he insisted on holding on, and did not lose face to his Lingzhou Zhichong Mansion.

Zhao Zhong has never seen Li Er, nor has he seen Du Ruhui, let alone Du Laohei, who is deep and simple. However, one of them had a little imagination with his lieutenant, but he also guessed that this person was Cheng Yanjin, the general of Zuo Wuwei.

Li Er was originally standing on the side, looking at Zhao Zhong who was walking from a distance, and he was also stunned. I saw that the clothes on this guy's body were in tatters, and there were some blood stains on them. But looking at this person again, it didn't look like he had been seriously injured at all, and he was curious at the moment.

If you really talk about bringing troops, this Tang Li Er is definitely the first person. Even if it is Cheng Laoyou, they are not Li Er's opponents. The Xuan Ce Army back then could be said to be invincible, and he naturally had some vision for these.

Zhao Zhong saw that everyone was staring at his clothes, and hurriedly wrapped them in embarrassment. He borrowed the clothes from a seriously injured brother, but he had been picking them for a long time. In order to respond to Qin Ze's idea of asking them to pretend to be miserable, they were immersed in the panic of wanting to see His Majesty, so they forgot to change back for a while.

Zhao Zhong secretly complained in his heart, so he came to a few people. At first glance, he saw Li Er, one of several people, and immediately leaned over to salute without saying a word.

It's just that because the clothes are too torn, this action is a big one, and as a result, I only heard a "bang", and half of the sleeves were torn off.

Everyone looked at each other, and Li Er was also amused by Zhao Zhong, so he waved at him to get up, and then asked him, "What's your name?" ”

"A certain is Zhao Zhong, a scout under Cheng Duwei of Lingzhou Mansion." Zhao Zhong was respectful, but everyone could hear the excitement in his words.

The dignified Son of Heaven asked his name, could he not be happy?

"What are you wearing?" Li Er pointed to his clothes and asked.

Now Zhao Zhong couldn't hold back, where did he care about Qin Ze's advice before. Just told everything directly.

When Li Er heard that it was really Qin Ze's kid who did it, he laughed angrily, daring to calculate him like this, only that kid was the only one. The key is that Li Er didn't feel angry yet, but he just felt that Qin Ze's kid was getting more and more interesting.

simply didn't pursue this matter, waved his hand and asked Zhao Zhong to light a gunpowder bomb to take a look.

Zhao Zhong naturally knew about igniting the gunpowder bomb, he first asked Li Er and the others to retreat by more than twenty zhang, and then commanded Ruan Quan to ask him to find a haystack and form a circle with a radius of ten zhang.

Of course, the reason why he dared to command Ruan Quan was entirely because he didn't know the chief administrator, and he thought that the other party was just a eunuch who had no eggs.

It's just that he is magnificent, and this account has fallen on Qin Ze's head again.

The use of gunpowder bullets was very simple, and after igniting it, Zhao Zhong threw it into the haystack as soon as he used his strength. Then he quickly lay on the ground and covered his ears.

In the end, he didn't forget to urge Ruan Quan to let him run back, but Ruan Quan, who boasted of having seen the world, naturally stood still.

Artillery fighting?

It's not that he hasn't seen it before, didn't Qin Ze put one last time?

But......

He ignored the size of this artillery battle......
