What are you thinking...... I can't tell Her Royal Highness the princess that I want to help you save your life. Xue Lang calmed down and said, "The subordinates are just surprised by the results. However, his subordinates did not participate in the war with the army, so what is the credit? ”

Princess Pingyang glanced at him and said, "Although Youyang did not participate in the war, the divine arm bow and bed crossbow that Youyang offered have made great contributions!" Jieli was wounded by the Divine Arm Bow, and many Turkic soldiers were still shot by the bed crossbow and the Divine Arm Bow! It was a great boost to the morale of our army, but it was a great blow to the Turks. ”

Xue Lang understood as soon as he heard it, no wonder the results of the battle were different from the historical records. The range of the Divine Arm Bow and the Bed Crossbow is much longer and more powerful than the bows and arrows currently used. The Turks did not know that the Tang army had increased such sharp weapons, and it was reasonable to say that the losses increased by surprise.

So, Xue Lang said modestly: "It turned out to be an unexpected achievement." The subordinates offered the divine arm bow and bed crossbow, but they were the ones who made the sharp weapons, and it was the King of Qin who really made the sharp weapons powerful, and the subordinates did not dare to take credit. However, seeing that Jieli can still send people to talk, it is a pity that he is not seriously injured. ”

When Princess Pingyang heard this, she nodded in agreement and said, "It's really a pity." However, the defeat of this battle will definitely be detrimental to the prestige of Jieli's voice, if a famine really breaks out, I am afraid that Jieli bullets will not be able to suppress his subordinates, the Turks have always been untrustworthy, and the peace talks are only afraid that they will not be able to do anything, and the momentum of our defense will still not be reduced. ”

The generals replied, "Oh." ”

Xue Lang said: "With the deterrence of the divine arm bow and the bed crossbow, the average small tribe does not dare to come, and there are definitely not many large Turkic tribes, so when the time comes, it may be the union of several small tribes, or it may be a large tribe." Once you knock on the level, the offensive is only afraid of a lot, and the pressure increases! ”

Princess Pingyang said in a deep voice: "If you grow, you will increase, the divine arm bow and bed crossbow are good at defending and not attacking, if you are not afraid that they will attack, you are afraid that they will not come." The Turks have now been defeated by the King of Qin, and they have lost their prestige and offensive, and it is difficult to gather the offensive again for a while. Only Liu Heimin can't be uneven! If he is allowed to regain his lost territory, his prestige in the court will be greatly damaged. Even if the lost territory is recovered in the future, it will indeed be difficult to recover in the eyes of the people, and Liu Thief can no longer be allowed to do so. Therefore, our border cities must do their best to keep the Turks out of the pass, and not let the Turks enter the pass and disrupt the affairs of the imperial court. The people will listen to the order—"

"Whoa."

"Make every effort to improve the defensive posture, impose martial law in a wartime state, do not relax, and if there is a violation, military law will deal with it!"

"Whoa!"

Xue Lang suddenly, calculating the time, it is now October, the King of Qin defeated Jieli Khan, the war with Jieli was calmed, the imperial army moved back, the main force returned, and the imperial court naturally wanted to take action to solve Liu Heimin.

Xue Lang hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, who does the imperial court want to send to be the commander of Liu Heimin?" ”

Princess Pingyang said: "The prince is handsome, and he leads the army to conquer!" ”

Hey...... According to historical records, it was not Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, who led his troops out first, but because he was afraid of Liu Heimin, he did not dare to attack, and led the army to watch Liu Heimin regain his lost territory. The prestige of the king of Qin is becoming more and more prosperous, and the status of the crown prince is in the middle of the prince, Wang Qi and Xian Ma Wei persuade the prince to lead the army to Liu Heimin to establish military merit and prestige. The crown prince Jiancheng led the army to Liu Heimin.

Now history has changed!

Yuanji has no chance to lead the army, and the prince directly leads the troops! I think it was because King Qin's victory this time was too dazzling, which stimulated the prince and aggravated the prince's sense of crisis, so the prince asked for the order to lead the troops in advance?

Xue Lang figured it out, but he also sighed secretly. The latest and fastest update In fact, in the eyes of an outsider, the most suitable candidate to pacify Liu Heimin is still King Qin. First, the King of Qin had defeated Liu Heimin, had a psychological advantage, and was also familiar with Liu Heimin's combat methods, and brought the results of the victory over Jieli, which had an encouraging effect on the morale of the people; The second is that the King of Qin is indeed good at leading troops to fight. Compared with the King of Qin, who had great military achievements, the prince's record was actually not very good.

When Li Yuan raised troops, the prince lived in Hedong, heard the news of his father's army, fled back to Taiyuan, remembered to take Li Yuanji and the beautiful concubine, but did not remember to bring his brother Li Zhiyun.

However, I am afraid that the saint also thinks that the king of Qin has high merits, and the prestige of the prince is already weaker than that of the king of Qin. So do you want to balance it?

Xue Lang is not good at guessing the sage's thoughts, now that the one who went out to fight against Liu Heimin has become the prince, thinking about it, in order to ensure that the prince, who rarely leads troops to fight, defeats Liu Heimin to the greatest extent, the sage will definitely choose the generals who will go out with the prince.

Xue Lang is deserting here, Princess Pingyang has already assigned the tasks of the generals, and Xue Lang has one task, to prepare military rations to the maximum extent and distribute the baggage.

Speaking of which, although Wei Zeguan was the first to be equipped with a divine arm bow and a bed crossbow, but the income was limited, and the divine arm bow was the first to ensure the Xiong Zhen army, and then the defenders, and the bed crossbow was directly on the city wall and used to defend the city.

After the task was assigned, Princess Pingyang said, "Youyang, come with me." ”

"Whoa!"

Princess Pingyang called Xue Lang and went directly to the workshop. When she got off the carriage at the workshop, Princess Pingyang walked in front and said to Xue Lang, who was following behind: "My subordinates found two crystal crystals, and I asked the craftsman to polish them into a telescope, I don't know what the effect is, let's take a look today." ”

Did it happen? Don't know how well the lens is polished?

Xue Lang immediately became interested and followed Princess Pingyang in with great interest. The people in the workshop had obviously received an order from the Pingyang Princess, and they all waited at the door to greet them-

"Humble people greet Your Highness, Your Highness is safe."

"Excuse me, get up, where is the finished telescope? Take it for me to see. ”

"Whoa."

The master craftsman immediately handed over the finished telescopes, a total of two, Princess Pingyang took one and handed one to Xue Lang. Xue Lang took it in his hand and rubbed it carefully——

This Tang Dynasty version of the telescope, the shell is made of wood, and the specially selected light wood is very smooth, and it is light to hold in the hand, so it is not difficult at all.

The most important lens is indeed carved from a whole piece of white crystal, because at the edge of the lens, there are a few flocculents unique to natural crystal, but because it is at the edge of the lens, it has little impact on the vision.

Xue Lang set it up and looked at it, without the function of modern telescopes to adjust the focal length, the distant scenery shown in the lens is also clear, and the distortion is not large. I think it's the best that the current technology can do!

The most surprising thing is that Xue Lang didn't tell them the concept of interpupillary distance, mainly because he didn't know how to explain it. And these skilled craftsmen actually noticed this problem without a teacher, the distance between the two lenses is actually in line with the principle of ergonomics, and there is not much discomfort when using a telescope to look far away.

I think it's because the masters have figured out the telescope thoroughly!

Xue Lang happily rubbed the telescope in his hand, and Princess Pingyang asked, "Youyang, how is it?" Possible use? ”

Xue Lang said: "Your Highness, you have done a better job than I imagined, very good." By the way, master, how is the lens polished? It's so smooth? ”

The master replied respectfully: "Back to Xue Advisory, the polishing of the lens uses the technique of jade polishing, so it can be so smooth." ”

Xue Lang gave a thumbs up without hesitation! Marvel at the craftsmen of my great flower planters!

Princess Pingyang said: "The masters are meritorious, and the palace should reward them." Each master will be rewarded with 100 pieces of money, 20 horses of silk, and 10 pieces of money for apprentices, and 5 horses of silk. ”

The masters were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
