Chapter 285: The Power of Gunpowder
Changsun Chong drew the drawings, then added a little something, and gave the drawings to Liu Muxiang.
Liu Muxiang had something to do, so she was naturally very energetic, and took the drawings to the yard next door to plan. It's an abandoned yard with few people coming in and a bit of a shabby one, but it should be easy to clean up.
With the cultivation of fresh vegetables, as long as she is attentive, she will definitely succeed. I don't know why, as long as Changsun Chong said it, Liu Muxiang believed it to be true.
The next day, it was the day of the imperial court's rest, and it was just time for everyone to rest! The eldest grandson Chong followed his father and others to the palace, and then obeyed Li Er's orders. It is said that His Majesty is going to take everyone to see some novelties.
Finally got a rest day, and was demolished by His Majesty, a few old guys were a little unhappy, but they were also very curious about what was going on, so that His Majesty was so excited to call everyone to come together.
Li Er, dressed in civilian clothes, took everyone out of the palace and rode a horse for nearly two and a half hours before arriving at a mountain col. Changsun Chong guessed that this person must not be here to hunt, and he would not wear such clothes when hunting, and he had an idea, thinking that it had been so long, the gunpowder must have been completed.
Li Er is so mysterious and mysterious must be because the gunpowder has been successful, take everyone to open their eyes and understand what the mother of this hot weapon is!
Sure enough, I arrived in a remote valley, walked for an hour, walked through the cave, and finally saw rows of stone houses.
"Your Majesty, what are you showing us here? It's mysterious, and it makes people's hearts itch. Cheng Yanjin didn't know why, and looked around.
"Hehe, you'll see it later!" Li Er said with a smile, giving the people on the side a look.
The people on the side got Li Er's signal, so they began to act separately and deploy in an orderly manner!
"Don't stand outside, everybody. Please take shelter in the stone house for a while! The guards kindly reminded that after all, the gunpowder test will be carried out later, and it will not be good if it collapses on these ministers.
Cheng Yanjin was puzzled and said: "It's cool in autumn, why are you hiding in the house!" I just watched it outside. ”
"Even if I don't go in." Wei Chi Jingde didn't want to go in, and in his mind, he didn't hide the word "dodge", it was too insulting. Even if there was a bear on the other side, he could catch it.
The eldest grandson Wuji hesitated to go in, but the eldest grandson rushed to see it, pulled his father and said, "For the sake of safety, let's go in." Your Majesty wouldn't let us do this for no reason, and there must be a big reason. ”
The crowd listened. I think Changsun Chong is right. They all followed, and there were only a few old ruffians left, who were not afraid of death and stayed outside, they felt that they had all crawled out of the pile of dead people, and there was nothing to make them afraid.
Li Eryi's face darkened when he saw it. Go out in person and say, "Let me in!" ”
"Your Majesty, you are too bold, it is better for you to stand behind the minister. Your safety is absolutely guaranteed. Cheng Yanjin didn't care, but mocked other people for being cowardly, looking like the eldest and my second.
The other people in the stone house even sneered at Cheng Biting Jin's words, old things, they know how to flatter.
When Li Er heard this, his face turned dark, and he stepped forward with a kick, saying: "If you let you in, you will go in, and you will know that you can do it!" ”
Cheng Biting Jin patted the position where he was kicked, smirked, and swaggered into the stone house, muttering something like a coward in his mouth.
Looking out through the palm-sized hole in the stone house, I saw that a few people had prepared ten sheep and placed them in the open space about fifty meters away from the stone house.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready to go!" The guards came up and asked for instructions.
Li Er's head said, "Okay, let's start right away!" ”
I saw two people running to a distance of ten meters from the sheep, pulling it with their hands, throwing out a long strip of black Bulongdong, and hurriedly lying on the ground.
Only two loud "boom" sounds were heard, and everyone's expressions were cold, and Cheng Yanjin, who was originally picking his teeth, accidentally trembled with his hand, and the bamboo stick poked on the gum.
"And what is that? So loud? Cheng Yanjin stammered and asked, after seeing that seven or eight of the ten sheep had staggered to the ground, and the remaining two fled in panic and stumbled like headless flies.
Li Er glared at Cheng Yanjin and said, "Now you know that you are afraid, it is the latest weapon developed." ”
Cheng Yanjin couldn't wait, pushed open the door, and hurriedly ran to the sheep that had fallen to the ground, there were blood stains everywhere, the wounds of these sheep were very scary, and some even had their intestines flowing out.
"Tsk!" Cheng Yanjin's eyes were red excitedly, and while watching, he was amazed, not frightened by the blood on the field at all, but even more energetic.
When some Wenchen saw such a scene, they covered their noses and retreated, feeling disgusted and unable to stand this kind of blood type scene.
"How powerful is this?" Li Er asked proudly.
"It's like thunder! And the lethality is very great, you see so many sheep are injured if they don't die, if I Datang has such a sharp weapon, it will really be God bless Datang. The eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward and said, glanced at his son, and estimated that this thing was made up by him again.
In the past, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't think that it was bad for his son to be proficient in various substances, but with the appearance of various things, he gradually had a very nervous feeling, because the things that his son made out were more and more against the sky every time.
After all, their eldest grandson family is a courtier, a relative, and if it continues like this, it will be cleared by His Majesty one day.
"There is even more shock, let's go, let's go back to the stone house first!" Li Er chuckled and said, he was completely immersed in the pride of killing all sides. With such a sharp weapon, you will definitely be able to kill all sides.
Cheng Yanjin listened, this time he ran faster than anyone else, and the first one to enter the stone house caused everyone to laugh and shake their heads.
Cheng Yanjin doesn't care about this, he is not afraid of death, even if he dies, he must die worthily, but he can't be blown up by the explosives during the experiment, it has no value.
Li Er's head was bowed, and he saw two guards take out a boxy package, about one foot long and wide, and put it in a hewn stone cave.
I saw that the guards lit the lead about half a meter long on it, and immediately ran over, about ten meters out and lay down. I only heard a loud bang, and the original super large stones were blown to pieces, and some larger stones kept falling down.
"Oh my God, that's a rocky mountain! It was blown up like this. With this, the city gate is useless! Cheng Yanjin was also surprised, and muttered to himself, the power was beyond his imagination.
"How?" Li Er asked proudly.
"This is the only weapon in the world!" Fang Xuanling had already pulled off several beards in surprise, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
"Your Majesty, with such a sharp weapon, my Datang will definitely be able to conquer Siyi and be invincible." Yu Chi Jingde laughed and said, when you encounter an obstacle, you will blow up.
Li Jing's eyes were burning, and his chin bowed: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for getting this sharp weapon!" ”
Wei Zheng's black face, although people hate it, always poured a bucket of cold water on everyone when everyone was fluttering, and said: "Your Majesty, although such a sharp weapon is good, it also depends on who is in it." Your Majesty is wise, Datang Tianwei, this Li Qi is in the hands of my Datang in order to truly appease Siyi, so these sharp weapons must be kept secret, and there must be no leakage, otherwise it will be dangerous! ”
When Li Er heard this, his face was stunned, and then he nodded and said: "What Wei Aiqing said is reasonable, the matter of gunpowder will be kept secret." ”
"Such a great good!" Wei Zheng was relieved, hoping that he would not be used by foreign clans to deal with the Tang Dynasty. These things are more effective in siege than fighting nomads, so they are always cared about.
"Since the Aiqing are here, let's open everyone's eyes again!" After Li Er finished speaking, he slapped twice, and pushed out a strange thing with wheels from another stone house, a black cannon barrel, pointing into the distance.
"What is this?" Wei Zheng asked.
"Artillery!" Li Er replied.
"Is that gunpowder also used?"
Li Er's head shook his head and said, "Let's start!" ”
I saw a man put a round thing into the bubble, and then lit it, only to hear a boom, the black, round thing, like an arrow off the string, with sparks, was hit on the bald mountain several meters away.
There was another loud bang, and suddenly the ashes were splashed everywhere, and countless birds were frightened!
Even though they had warmed up twice just now, everyone was still scared.
Cheng Yanjin stammered and said: "Your Majesty, with this, it will be easy to attack the city in the future, just throw a few of these black bumps, blow them up a few times, and the city is not ready to be captured!" ”
Li Er's head shook his head and said, "Hehe, God bless me Datang!" I'd like to see how many more days Goguryeo can bounce! ”
Of the surrounding feudal states, only Goguryeo is very similar to the Central Plains Dynasty, and both in terms of tactics and cities, they are all copied from the Central Plains Dynasty, so this kind of heavy weapon is definitely the best weapon to deal with Goguryeo.
When everyone heard this, they knelt on the ground and said, "God bless Datang!" God bless Datang! ”
Seeing that at noon, a few people were hungry, Li Er said: "Look at your craftsmanship today, come over on the hour!" ”
The eldest grandson Chong was dumbfounded, this place is barren, what is there to eat! said with a bitter face: "Even if it is a good woman, it is difficult to cook without rice!" You ask Chong'er to make lunch, and you have to give something! ”
"Oh! There are still a few sheep there, you can do it! Li Er said with a smile, "As for the ingredients, Zhou He has prepared them for you, and arranged a few people for you to be assistants, so you can cook quickly." ”
Changsun Chong had no choice but to bite the bullet and quickly command these people to skin and cramp and clean up a few goats. Needless to say, of course, it is the golden roast sheep that Changsun Chong is best at.
Cooking is not a difficult task for Changsun Chong, as long as there is something, it will be easy to do.
After packing up the mutton, prepare the seasoning, and start to spread it on the lamb to let the flavor in before it can be roasted. (To be continued......)
