Chapter 163: Bonfire Night Talk
PS: What do you know, it's rare to have three more times, give me some motivation, it's rare to be in a rare state! Crying and begging, kneeling and begging, sprinkling and rolling begging
For the Southern Expeditionary Army, as long as the soles of the feet are mud, it is better than on the boat, the soft sand beach is a good place for them to settle down, and piles of melons, fruits and vegetables are the favorite of the soldiers after the sea voyage, unlike the Lingnan soldiers, they eat lychee, longan, sugarcane coconut water and other fruits, and the Lingnan soldiers are more interested in barbecue, especially the barbecue brushed with soy sauce.
Eating and feasting on the whole beach, the emperor and the big guys are naturally waiting, Yanglin has been out of Chang'an for more than a year, and it is necessary to meet Li Er to ward off the cold and ask for warmth, and Li Ke, who has been hiding in a few equipment boats since he went south, has also rarely come out to meet with everyone.
Li Er's family has no resistance to sweets, people are in the best mood when they eat sweets, so the atmosphere of this banquet is quite harmonious and active, Feng Ang has been drunk by several old comrades-in-arms during the Japanese war, and the accompanying generals and ministers are also quite, only the people from the civilian department are surrounded by Kong Yingda, who is getting better, and they can't let go, Yanglin doesn't know why Li Er didn't bring a prime minister and the six officials this time, but he found a gentleman of the rules, Kong Yingda, the imperial historian, to lead the civil officials, and saw that everyone was eating and drinking, Yang Lin dragged Li Ke, who had lost a lot of weight, to the side and chatted.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to get seasick, fortunately, His Majesty canceled the system of the King of Fan, otherwise you are a dignified King of Wu, and you will have to rely on a boat to travel in Wuzhou, and you will not toss to death!" Yang Lin listened to Li Ke talk about the bitterness of this trip and joked.
The task entrusted by Li Ke on this trip was to equip logistics, and it was firearms equipment logistics, and several ships under his jurisdiction were loaded with firearms and ammunition for the entire Southern Expeditionary Army, which was quite dangerous. Li Er allocated him an army of 3,000 men, and all the fields and families of this army were accused of being within a certain range of Guanzhong, and in order to maintain the absolute loyalty of the troops, he also implemented the system of joint sitting, one person violated discipline, punished one team, one team violated discipline, punished one battalion, and if there was any theft of secrets or gunpowder, if one person had a problem, all the wives, children, and children of the whole team would be beheaded. The thousand-ton supply warships were loaded with more than a dozen ships, which was large enough to blow up from one city to one pass in Lingnan to Chang'an, and if the rebel group mastered this batch of gunpowder, it might directly lead to the destruction of the country, so Li Ke had to be cautious.
"Who's to say it isn't! My father also demanded that these things should not be light, so I could only get dizzy on the boat. Li Ke said with palpitations, he just wanted to transfer this batch of gunpowder to the land warehouse as soon as possible, and only by staying on the land would he not feel dizzy.
"Is what I asked you to prepare?"
Chang'an has a complete set of tools and raw materials for making gunpowder. After interrogating An Yisheng, Yang Lin came up with the idea of making a white phosphorus bomb, and only by using a weapon that could scare the Miao people could they break their fighting spirit, and perhaps they would not be so stubborn in the follow-up advance. Harvesting a people's southern Xinjiang is what Yanglin wants, and they need their own hands to build it, and the role of the imperial court is to spur them to go according to the designated plan, and to take some benefits along the way. The gold, silver and copper mines in Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou are relatively scarce in Datang. These things are money, and with a greater source of capital, Yanglin can promote the social progress of Datang faster.
"I'm ready, but the effect is not as good as you said, I have tested the rocket with the second stage propulsion, and it only has a range of about 300 meters, and the third stage of propulsion can only reach 500 meters at most."
The gunpowder in Li Ke's hand is black powder, and the explosive power is naturally limited, and Yang Lin has granular nitric acid gunpowder in his hand, which is much more powerful, and it is estimated that it can reach 800 meters to 1,000 meters, such a distance is already the limit of human eyesight, and it is naturally absolutely safe to detonate a white phosphorus bomb at this distance.
"It's already very good, the length of the rocket launcher and the control of the geographical angle can also extend the range, you will study these later, the current equipment is enough for us to win some battles, but the gunpowder you bring may not be enough, because most places in southern Xinjiang have to use gunpowder to open mountains and build roads, so once you find the raw materials, you can also make zuò locally, I have a few boxes of treasures here, I usually use ice cubes to calm them when I don't use them, if the battle advances and encounters tough resistance, You can use one, remember, after thawing, you must use it quickly, at least use a two-stage rocket to propel the warhead, and the usual storage is also to use ice cubes to calm it, or soak it in cold water, the power of this thing is greater than gunpowder, it is a nirvana, except for you and me, don't let the fourth person know, understand? Yang Lin took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and said to Li Ke very solemnly.
Due to the large amount of white phosphorus extracted, Yanglin made more than 200 white phosphorus bombs with a high yield, packed eight pieces per box, packed into thirty boxes, and loaded them with a special ice-making warship.
"When it comes to making gunpowder, I'm half an expert now, but I'm not good at applying these things, aren't you in the army, what's the name of this thing, you just don't use it yourself." Li Ke changed his comfortable posture and sat on the sand.
Yang Lin was very surprised that Li Ke would not be interested in such a killing weapon, and even wanted to push it out, if the two brothers Li Chengqian and Li Tai were here, they would like to get it into their hands as soon as possible! In history, Li Ke was finally killed by the eldest grandson Wuji and did not rebel, it seems that he really didn't have this intention.
"That kind of thing is called white phosphorus, it is very difficult to extract, it can be made into a flowering bomb style after detonating everything within a certain range in an instant, the ignition point of white phosphorus is very low, and strong sunlight may ignite and explode, so it must be made in a cold environment, very dangerous, not me, no one can make this thing, you must pay attention to the temperature of the warhead when you use it, that is, hot and cold.
I won't stay here for too long, His Majesty Xià here began to advance, I will take people to Jiaozhi, Zhang Liang's soldiers into Guizhou, Li Jiming in Shu against Tubo, in fact, is clamping down on Nanzhao, His Majesty's troops into Liuzhou and Yizhou, I will take the navy to Jiaozhi, this is equivalent to enclosing the entire southern Xinjiang, only need to advance steadily, within two or three years, the entire southern Xinjiang will be in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, then only need to develop for another three or five years, even if the world wars the Tang, the Tang Dynasty can also deal with it calmly. ”
Yanglin rarely talks to Li Ke about military strategy, most of this is directly with Li Er, but Yanglin doesn't want to watch Li Er's most talented son die so depressed, Li Er chose to let Li Ke master the strongest killing weapon of the Tang Dynasty, it is not a good thing for him personally, he is not the prince, once Li Er dies in the future, unless he rebels and becomes the emperor, the new emperor will definitely not let him go, Li Ke may have seen this, and he can't rise the courage to rebel, Therefore, his current qiē is the same as his mother and concubine, Concubine Yang, he is cautious in everything, does not do anything out of the ordinary, and wants to exchange loyalty and obedience for a stable second half of his life.
"The whole world? Is it possible? With the strength of my Datang today, it's impossible! Li Ke's spirit was slightly better, but when he heard the words "The World Wars Tang Dynasty", his complexion changed again.
"Nothing is impossible, when a country is extremely strong, the countries around him will either be eliminated by him, or eliminate him, but due to the closure of the news, the current trend of the countries is not very obvious, you will know in a few years, but no matter whether this situation is likely or not, we must take precautions, there is no upper limit to the strength of national defense, as long as every monarch understands this truth, it will not be far behind." The farther Yang Lin spoke, Li Ke may not be willing to listen to these words, in fact, it is a good choice to lie on the warm beach for a while after eating a full meal, and then go for a swim to eliminate food, so Yang Lin directly changed from a half-sitting position to a reclining position, and when he turned his head, he saw a few people wearing crotch cloths and shaving melons floating their heads wandering on the beach like curious babies.
"Why, when did His Majesty allow the Japanese to enter the country again? And let them into the barracks. Yang Lin turned his head to Li Ke and asked.
In fact, the ships of the Japanese Kingdom appeared at the military parade, but the hull was too small and was blocked by the big warship, and Yang Lin did not see it. Datang now except for the group of people who have been hijacked by the Japanese people Yanglin, no one cares about a mere Japanese country, Li Ke listened to Yanglin's question, and told Yanglin what happened at sea yesterday, thinking that Yanglin has been busy from last night to today, it should be Xie Feiyu They have not had a chance to report the situation to him.
"The Abe clan unified the Wa Kingdom so quickly? There are really some means, but this exile regime Fujiwara clan is really useful to my Tang Dynasty, and if they are in their hands, they will have an excuse to enter the Japanese Kingdom in the future, and I still have some things to talk to His Majesty, you go back and rest first, I have already prepared the matter of the gunpowder warehouse for you, and the scorpion will lead you back, and then send someone to start the transfer in the middle of the night, I will go first. ”
Yang Lin jumped up from the sand stall and patted the sand on his body, at this time he suddenly heard a drum sound, it turned out that tonight's theatrical performance activities were about to start, Li Tai's baby ran to the stage to beat the drum again, the drum sounded, the entire Zhennan Army, the Southern Expedition Forbidden Army, and the Huainan and Lingnan Water Army all began to lean towards the stage, several armies added up to more than 100,000 people, crowding the stage around the hall, Li Er's concert crazy fans were naturally the first to occupy the best seats, The left and right sides are still surrounded by ministers, and it is inconvenient for Yang Lin to talk to him about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom now.
