Chapter 591: Primordial Hand Cannon
"Smack!"
The driver of the carriage flicked his whip one last time, and the carriage stopped just in front of the mansion.
As soon as he saw that the carriage had stopped, among the Silla soldiers behind him, Li Ke divided a few people to meet him.
Then, Li Yuanba saw the door of the carriage open, and a white jade hand stretched out to open the curtain used to cover it, and then a tall girl took the lead out of the frame, jumped off the wheel, and stood respectfully beside the car.
A stepping stool was taken from the carriage by the maiden, and after that, a beautifully dressed and extremely dignified brocade-robed woman stepped out of the stepping horse.
This is a girl who looks like she is in her twenties, but this gesture shows the charm of a mature woman.
The beautiful girl who came out earlier stepped forward to support the woman in the brocade robe, and the two of them went one after the other, making it clear that these two people were a master and a servant.
To be honest, seeing these two stunning colors, even Li Yuanba, who was accustomed to seeing countless artificial beauties in his previous life, had a feeling of being dazzled.
Of course, this is not to say how beautiful these two women are, but to feel, feel different.
The two women first looked around, and when they saw Li Yuanba, who was leading a group of people standing in front of the mansion, their beautiful eyes couldn't help but light up, and they stepped forward and bowed and said, "The concubine is Silla Jindeman, and I have seen His Royal Highness King Wu!" ”
As for the little maid, she said, "Slave Song Xianya, meet His Royal Highness King Wu!" ”
Li Yuanba didn't feel the slightest surprise at the little maid's salute, but Jindeman, as the lord of a country, actually put down his body and saluted him as a prince of the Tang Dynasty, which was really a little unexpected.
"Queen, please get up!"
Li Yuanba said very sincerely, but physically, he accepted the gift of the two of them very calmly.
However, Jindeman didn't care, she stood up very gracefully, looked at Li Yuanba and said, "Your Highness." Deman came to Datang this time in the hope of meeting His Majesty Datang, and asked His Royal Highness to introduce Deman on his behalf! ”
Kinderman's words went straight to the point, if the previous salute was decent, but now this point is a bit preemptive.
She clearly wanted to mess up Li Yuanba's position and put him in a feeling of powerlessness, so that Jindeman could take the initiative.
But what kind of person is Li Yuanba, how can she let others lead her by the nose? I saw Li Yuanba say lightly to Jindeman:
"I'm afraid the queen will be disappointed this time! It's not that this king refuses to introduce the queen, but that the royal brother has already given this king full authority to deal with the affairs of your Silla, so. You won't be able to see the royal brother anymore! ”
Hearing Li Yuanba's words, Jindeman's face suddenly darkened, but he immediately seemed to remember something, and said, "Your Highness, Deman ......"
"Wait a minute!" Li Yuanba waved his hand to Jindeman and said, "This is not the place to talk, besides, the queen has been tired all the way, and this king has already prepared a meal in the hall, let's go in and eat and chat, right?" ”
The stinky rules of the Chinese people left by Li Yuanba in his previous life. Important things should be discussed at the wine table, and it is easy to talk about things this way, isn't it?
While saying this, Li Yuanba turned around and entered the room. He didn't eat anyway, but eating was a serious matter.
……
In the hall, there were only three people left.
Li Yuanba was holding a bowl in his hand, and his head was a binge-eating meal. As for Jindeman and his little maid, they looked quite cautious, and the expression on their faces was even more speechless. As if there was something to say.
When Li Yuanba ate the table full of dishes by himself, he finally stopped what he was doing, wiped his mouth and said, "Okay, what's so important, why bother the queen to leave the capital and come to Datang in person?" ”
"Your Highness, Deman came to Datang this time to deliver the documents to the emperor of Datang!" Jindeman's delicate face was full of solemnity, "In addition, we will also make corresponding compensation to Datang for the previous unwarranted occupation of Goguryeo's territory!" ”
"Oh?" Li Yuanba glanced at Jindeman and said, "It's only been a few days, but I didn't expect the queen to make a decision!" If this king is not mistaken, there must be something going on in your Silla, right? ”
Hearing Li Yuanba's words, Jindeman fell silent, and at the same time, gloom and anger appeared on his face, and the two only saw a complicated look entangled with each other.
"What, is there anything you can't say about it?" Li Yuanba saw that Jindeman's expression was wrong, and said out loud.
"Your Highness......" Jindeman was not easy to speak, but the little maid opened her mouth to speak, but Jindeman interrupted her.
"I'll tell you!" Jindeman waved his hand and said, "Just before when I Silla organized a large army to go to Goguryeo, the Wa Kingdom suddenly attacked our Silla at this time, and they used a strange weapon, and it was precisely because of this weapon that they attacked the city very quickly......
"Strange weapons?" Li Yuanba asked curiously: "Can you describe the shape and power of this strange weapon?" ”
"Your Highness, during this period of siege warfare, we have also captured a lot of these weapons in Xinluo, and I also brought a few to Datang this time!" Kindman continued: "As for the power, throwing it can hurt at least four or five people! ”
"Oh? Does it explode the moment it touches a person or object, and at the same time there is a sound like thunder? ”
This time, Li Shimin's expression became serious, because he thought of something, something that was extremely important to him and to Datang.
"Yes!" Jindeman said: "It is precisely because the concubine heard that Datang has a weapon called a hand cannon, so she came to Datang in person." ”
"Hand cannon, Wa Guo!" Li Yuanba stood up suddenly.
"Phew!"
slapped his palm on the table fiercely, and Li Yuanba's face was also gloomy, "Queen, can you take one of the things you brought this time, so that this king can take a closer look?" ”
"Good!" Jindeman nodded and gave an order to Song Xianya, the maid next to him.
Song Xianya nodded, nodded her feet, and ran out of the hall as if flying.
After the time when there was no tea, the little girl came back with a small boxy box the size of a foot.
Li Yuanba opened the small box, and saw that there were three things in the small box that were relatively rough and had wooden handles, which were no more than half a foot long, and they looked as if they were not powerful.
However, Li Yuanba saw that this thing was very similar to a hand cannon, or it was clearly a copy of the hand cannon, but looking at its workmanship, it was indeed a lot worse.
"Hand cannon!" Li Yuanba's eyes even burst out with blood, which was extremely terrifying.
Since Li Yuanba built the Shenji Mansion, firearms such as hand cannons, Shenwu cannons, and Changtong have naturally become the unique weapons of the Tang army.
Datang's attitude towards firearms is military use and technical secrecy, and out of absolute strict adherence to firearms, the management of gunpowder has also become strict from the previous relaxed state.
It can be said that in addition to the Taoist temple and several workshops with strong backgrounds for making artillery battles, only Li Yuanba's Shenji Mansion is equipped to use gunpowder.
How did the Wa Kingdom get this kind of thing? Where did their gunpowder recipes sometimes get from?
Li Yuanba was very angry, and the consequences were serious.
"Come on, come on!" He roared, as if he were crazy.
"Pedal Pedal Pedal T
Soon, a team of ten Shenwu guards broke in, led by Zhao Sanpao.
"Lord Wang!" Zhao Sanpao's expression was fierce, and there was a murderous aura between his eyebrows.
"Look, do you know this thing?" Li Yuanba pointed to the things in the small box and said.
"Huh?" Zhao Sanpao glanced at it, and then said with a puzzled expression: "Lord Wang, what are you doing with these three most primitive hand cannons?" ”
"This is not something that this king took out!" Li Yuanba grimaced and continued: "Take one out and test the power of this thing, it's in the courtyard, and it just happens to let this king see and understand!" ”
"No!" Zhao Sanpao didn't understand what Li Yuanba meant, so he took out a 'hand cannon' from the box and came to the door, and skillfully pulled the string and threw it out.
"Boom!"
After a while, the 'hand cannon' finally sounded, but compared with the authentic hand cannon of Datang, the sound was inevitably a little small, at best it was about the same as the sound of the short gun.
Look at the power again, how can Jinderman say that it is so powerful, but blow out a pit on the ground that is two feet long and half a foot deep, and use it to scare and scare people, and it is okay to blow up and injure people, but to say that it kills people, it is really a bit of a joke.
"Lord Wang, the power of this thing is a little too small, right? It seems that it is better to make a hand cannon from the earliest gunpowder! ”
Zhao Sanpao walked back with a frown, his words full of doubts.
"Hmph, of course it's not as good as our Datang's hand cannon!" Li Yuanba snorted coldly and said, "This thing was made by the dwarf of the Wa Kingdom, it is really hateful, and I don't know which bad guy passed this kind of thing to the Wa Kingdom." ”
Zhao Sanpao hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Wang, this is just a vain form, it shouldn't be nothing, right?" ”
"In vain?" Li Shimin was even more angry, "Even if it is in vain, you have to have a look like it?" If it weren't for someone spreading these things, they would never have been able to make this kind of waste stuff! ”
"Lord Wang, calm your anger, in this way, this matter is really important, let's calm down and think about it carefully!"
Seeing that Li Yuanba was really angry, Zhao Sanpao finally realized the seriousness of the matter and began to persuade Li Yuanba.
It can be said that Zhao Sanpao is a person close to Li Yuanba in the real sense after coming to this Tang world, this kind of thing can only be judged by calming down, and it cannot be concluded based on just these two things. (To be continued......)
