Liu Zhen pursed his lips secretly, and asked tentatively, "Father-in-law, do you want to summon that old eunuch for questioning?" It's just that he is not in Mo Nai, and with Chen Guogong Wu Zisheng opening the way in front, he arranged a residence for His Royal Highness. ”

Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "Zhao Guowei is an official in the palace, how can I easily summon him for questioning?" By the way, have you ever seen a god-given artifact? ”

His Royal Highness Min has only taken out a map of Yunnan Province, the towns, roads, mountains and rivers are very detailed, and the child has only seen it twice, and he feels that it is not ordinary. I heard that, that princess of different races, was given a divine fire vessel by His Royal Highness, but she didn't show it easily, only the old eunuch had seen it. Liu Zhen replied truthfully.

"How can a heaven-sent artifact reward a woman? It's, it's—it's true! Li Dingguo was a little angry, and at the same time said that he had believed in those rumors. Otherwise, there would be no way to explain the changes of His Highness Na Min, who was like being reborn.

Liu Zhen didn't dare to comment casually, smiled bitterly, but didn't speak.

Li Dingguo shook his head, shook off the matter, and fell into thought. If His Royal Highness Min can really turn the crisis around and survive the Jedi, then he will listen to his orders for the time being, what can he do? It's just that this Huang Cheng can't be handed over easily. If His Royal Highness Min commands indiscriminately, he can also rely on it and fight against it.

And why the lord sent the clan to stay behind, Li Dingguo also had his own speculation. Yongli and the crown prince both fled into Burma, which was a heavy blow to the morale of the people, and with the Zhu clan as a banner, there was finally an explanation. Secondly, Min Shizi is a collateral clan, even if he has the name of staying behind, compared to King Lu, who has a fight for the throne and is a close ancestor, he is also the least threatened.

I'm afraid this is also a kind of checks and balances, Li Dingguo thought of this possibility, and felt uncomfortable. He asked himself if he was loyal to Yongli and had no ambition to be Cao Cao. However, the emperor and ministers in Myanmar are probably worried about this, right?

That's it! Li Dingguo sighed secretly, since this is the case, as long as His Royal Highness Min is not too much, he will take a step back to relieve the doubts of the monarch and ministers, what does it matter?

……………

After the rain, the leaves are fresher and greener than usual, and the leaves with rainwater droplets shake in the wind and scatter the water droplets on the ground.

I didn't expect the meeting to go so smoothly? At this time, Zhu Yongxing's mood was also like the early clear sky, cheerful and comfortable.

In just one morning, everything was agreed to be completed, and King Li Jin really did not disappoint him. Of course, Zhu Yongxing did not make any particularly excessive demands, and even drummed up a staff headquarters for this purpose to unify the actions of various armies in the name of this, instead of acting as a leader and giving orders in a big way.

Another small accident was that Li Dingguo actually asked his son Li Sixing to follow him, but Zhu Yongxing was only slightly shocked and did not take this matter to heart. On the contrary, he also felt that it was beneficial to him. Lao Tzu's thinking is deep-rooted, and his son is still young, so this mind should be able to change, right?

With a comfortable heart, Zhu Yongxing was even more high-spirited, standing on the hillside, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the Sky Bombardment Cannon to Li Dingguo and others, as well as the precautions when using it.

"This bombardment cannon is easy to carry and powerful, but the range is short, and it is not advantageous to conduct artillery battles with the enemy, and it needs to be protected by the army." Zhu Yongxing pointed to the artillery that was busy preparing below, and said: "During the Tengchong battle, preparations had to be hasty, and the sky-bombing cannon was more suitable for attacking and deterring the enemy. Improvements have now been made, and with shells that can deal with enemy swarm charges, the lethality is good. ”

Li Dingguo smiled, feeling that his compromise and forbearance were worth it, His Royal Highness Min did not hide his secrets, but gave his army the key weapon of Tengchong's great victory.

"Your Highness, Lord Wang, generals, the artillery has been prepared, please give the order to fire." Artillery captain Qian Bangchen ran up, saluted like a courtesy, and reported loudly.

Zhu Yongxing nodded, turned his gaze to Li Dingguo, and asked politely.

"This king doesn't understand, it's better for His Highness to give an order." Li Dingguo shook his head lightly and declined with a smile.

"Then you're welcome." Zhu Yongxing smiled slightly, and said to Qian Bangchen: "Let's start with two siege shells, the target, the earthen house." ”

"Yes." Qian Bangchen saluted upright, took out two small flags from his waist, and waved the flags towards the bottom of the mountain.

A moment later, there were two muffled sounds, and the cannonballs flew up in the air and flew towards the target. Then it bounced on the ground and exploded.

Li Dingguo was taken aback by the loud noise, his ears were a little buzzing, and the smoke and dust were billowing from the explosion, and he couldn't see the effect clearly.

When the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, Li Dingguo and the others widened their eyes in surprise. The earthen houses are in ruins, and wisps of smoke are still rising from the large crater at the blast site.

"It's amazing." Li Dingguo couldn't help but admire, "So sharp, no wonder Tengchong was able to break through Sanzhai and defeat the Qing army." If it is the first time to encounter such a bombardment, even if it is a strong army, it is difficult to guarantee that the morale of the army will not be shaken and its morale will be damaged. ”

"King Jin in one word." Zhu Yongxing pretended to be reserved and said: "The Qing army has indeed never seen such a bombardment, and it is not so much defeated as frightened. ”

"Your Highness is humble." Li Dingguo shook his head with a smile, "I also know about the Battle of Tengchong, at that time, under the skillful planning of His Highness, the Qing army was already exhausted, and defeat was definitely defeated." It's just that with this cannon, it's more labor-saving. ”

Hehe, Zhu Yongxing smiled slightly, and was praised by this famous general, and he was even more proud. He turned his head and gave another order to Qian Bangchen, and then pointed and signaled to Li Dingguo and the others, "The target of this bombardment is those grass targets, see what effect the scattered flower bomb has." ”

With the experience of the last time, Li Dingguo and the others all calmed down and prepared to accept the torture of the second loud explosion.

Tong, Tong, and there were two muffled sounds in succession, and two large cannonballs flew out of the muzzles, and suddenly scattered into a number of small cannonballs in the air, and smashed into the densely erected grass targets. Explosions rang out, one after the other, but much smaller than just now. But the effect is vaguely visible, messy grass, sawdust, dirt flying, and when the smoke and dust dissipate, the dense grass target is like a leprosy head, and a piece of open space appears.

"If there are 20 cannons, and one large cannonball can be scattered into ten small cannonballs, that is 200, even if each one only kills and injures one enemy, it can make 200 enemy soldiers incapacitated." Zhu Yongxing used the simplest arithmetic to describe the power of the sky-bombing cannon, which obviously leaves room for humility.

"It can't be only two hundred, if it is an enemy charge, at least four or five hundred enemy troops will be killed or wounded." Li Dingguo narrowed his eyes slightly, and said thoughtfully: "It's also good to use it to defend the city, this should be able to hit two hundred steps, right?" ”
