Luntai City is also in the season of spring flowers.

Recently, Luntai City is also a happy event.

After Princess Qin became pregnant, Princess Changle and Wu Cao were also happy, followed by Princess Yuzhang, Princess Lanling and Princess Qinghe.

What makes Li Gen even happier is that the two military factories have fully begun normal operation.

When the output of the steel plant came up, a steady stream began to supply the two military factories.

The people who assemble the flintlock pistol are all very trustworthy people.

Zhao Si and Feng Wu, after being talked by Li Gen for a long time, said that they would follow His Royal Highness King Qin to the death in this life.

The two of them swore that since His Majesty sent the two of them to follow His Royal Highness King Qin, except for the beginning, one was to secretly protect him, and the other was to explore the many secrets of His Royal Highness King Qin.

When the King of Qin went to the Western Regions, Zhao Si and Feng Wu stayed in the manor, guarding the manor and the shops in Chang'an City.

Since then, they have basically cut off contact with the Hundred Horsemen.

Even Li Shimin regarded Zhao Si and Feng Wu as people in the manor, just like Red Sleeves and Tian Xiang.

In the end, Li Gen chose to believe in both of them.

The past is vivid, since they set foot in Chang'an City, Zhao Si and Feng Wu have been secretly protecting themselves, and they are also hard-working in business.

It was precisely because of Zhao Si's carefulness and caution that he discovered the merchants disguised by enemy soldiers in the Persian caravan.

Thus an unimaginable catastrophe was averted.

Li Gen said truthfully that he was about to embark on the road of becoming a dragon.

Zhao Si and Feng Wu immediately said respectfully.

His Royal Highness's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, and if he can ascend the throne, it will be a blessing for the people of the world.

Li Gen smiled and nodded, from the eyes and expressions of the two, Li Gen was sure that Zhao Si and Feng Wu were not lying.

Zhao Si and Feng Wu suggested that a team of hundred horsemen and bad people should be formed in Luntai City.

In the future, the Hundred Cavalry Division can infiltrate Chang'an City, and bad people can be responsible for the security inside and outside Luntai City.

After thinking for a while, Li Gen immediately agreed.

Order, Zhao Si is responsible for forming the Thousand Cavalry Division, and Feng Wu is responsible for forming a team of bad people.

Lao Tzu is a hero.

You have your hundred horsemen, and I have my thousand horsemen.

Thinking of this, the corners of Li Gen's mouth curved a little.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, all the parts of the flintlock pistol have been made."

Cheng Chumo came all the way, and now with outsiders present, Cheng Chumo didn't dare to call the seventh brother, the seventh brother.

Even if there were no outsiders present, since Li Shimin announced Li Gen's identity as the eldest prince and canonized him as the king of Qin, Cheng Chumo never shouted a word of the seventh brother.

"Brother Chumo, wait a moment, I'll change my clothes and go over."

However, Li Gen has always maintained his true colors, except for major occasions and routine meetings, he has always affectionately called Cheng Chu Mo as Brother Mo.

Li Gen changed into his regular clothes, and Qing Yama had been pulled out of the stable.

Li Gen turned over and went straight to the military factory in the east of the city with Cheng Chumo.

Although King Qin's car was also in the mansion, the speed of the King Qin's car driven by five horses was completely inferior to that of a Qingya horse.

Li Gen and Cheng Chumo galloped on horseback, and soon arrived at the gate of the military factory.

At the gate of the military factory, there are heavy guards.

And the gate was closed for twelve hours.

Seeing that it was His Royal Highness King Qin who was there, the guards immediately saluted respectfully and slowly pushed the door open.

Li Gen nodded with satisfaction, such an important military factory must be strictly managed from the beginning, otherwise there will be endless hidden dangers.

The flintlock pistol arsenal, because there was no gunpowder in it, Li Gen came very rarely.

Unlike the grenade factory in charge of Du He and Fang Yiai, Li Gen had to go to inspect both ends of the three days to resolutely put an end to open flames and various hidden dangers.

Because once something happens, it's a big deal that kills people.

In addition, the bullets of the flintlock pistol are also made by their factory, and Li Gen has to tell Du He and Fang Yiai at all times not to relax their vigilance, let alone be careless.

Li Gen and Cheng entered the military factory, an open factory.

Everyone looked at the parts in front of them, waiting for the arrival of His Royal Highness King Qin.

In this world, except for His Royal Highness King Qin, there is no second person who knows how to assemble these parts together.

At the thought of it, once His Royal Highness King Qin taught them the assembly technique, everyone's hearts were excited and fiery.

Cheng Chumo pushed the door open, and Li Gen took the lead in stepping into the factory.

Although Li Gen was dressed in regular clothes, everyone still recognized it at a glance, this was His Royal Highness King Qin.

"See His Royal Highness King Qin!"

And they all bowed their heads.

Li Gen smiled and nodded, signaling everyone to excuse themselves.

Then walk to the console.

Looking at the brand-new parts, a bright smile appeared on Li Gen's face.

"The king reiterates once again that no one is allowed to take these parts out of the military factory without permission, and the soldiers at the gate and the personnel who go out every day will be searched and checked, and once found, the king will not tolerate and accommodate them."

"You must not pass on the art of assembling to others, this is by far one of the king's greatest secrets, and the reason why this king chose you is because you are all worthy of the king's new ......."

"I'll wait, I will obey the instructions of His Royal Highness King Qin!"

Li Gen's voice landed, and everyone shouted in unison.

Li Gen nodded with satisfaction and began to teach the art of assembly.

Because Li Gen has been practicing with his flintlock pistol for half a year.

So the operation is very skillful.

Before everyone could react, a flintlock pistol had already been assembled by Li Gen.

Compared with everyone's astonishment, Li Gen laughed happily.

All parts are identical.

The standardized production and the standardized flintlock pistol brought by Li Gen made Li Gen's joy overflowing.

In this way, it is not only conducive to maintenance and maintenance, repair.

It is more conducive to mass manufacturing and production.

As we all know, when the flintlock pistol was first introduced, although it was simple and easy to use, the fly in the ointment was that the process was too complicated to make.

The whole process is almost all handmade.

The production process obtained by Li Gen is a complete set of orderly mass production processes.

Seeing everyone's stunned gazes, Li Gen smiled and disassembled the flintlock pistol in his hand step by step.

When it was time to assemble it again, Li Gen slowed down completely.

And then the assembly will be explained, and those parts need special attention, Li Gen will focus on it.

In particular, when there is a non-conforming part, it must be returned to the factory floor and replaced with a new qualified part.

Because of the key parts, the whole flintlock pistol will become a defective product, or even a waste gun.

Everyone followed the assembly order of His Royal Highness King Qin and began to carefully assemble them.

It's not that difficult to assemble this thing.

These carefully selected people were all brilliant people, and in just a quarter of an hour, everyone basically mastered the assembly order.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, practice makes perfect, Li Gen stayed in the factory for a full hour, and finally left with three flintlock pistols.

These three flintlock pistols were naturally equipped for Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and Qin Shubao, the three great generals.

Half an hour later, Cheng bit Jin and the three of them took the flintlock pistol from Li Gen's hand.

The hands of the three people holding the guns were all trembling slightly.

Such an object against the sky was actually made.

They have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and they know too well the power of this thing.

What horizontal knives, lances, spears, bows and arrows, in front of the flintlock pistol, are simply not enough to see.

A single shot can take out an enemy.

It's simple, fast, and accurate!

What's even worse is the grenade, just this, His Royal Highness the King of Qin also said frankly that this grenade is just the most basic and simple, and there are explosive packs, shells and bombs that are a hundred times more powerful than it, or even a thousand times more powerful...... Wait, wait......

Li Gen's words made Cheng Biting Jin's hearts beat a little hard.

Fortunately, it is the same faction as His Royal Highness King Qin, if it is an opponent, then it is too damn terrible.

If you can't live, you can't live at all!

Li Gen carefully explained to the three generals how to use and operate the flintlock pistol.

He also took three people to the vast Gobi Desert in the north of the city to conduct live-fire exercises.

Soon, Cheng Biting Jin and the three of them all mastered how to use the flintlock pistol correctly.

Even the marksmanship surprised Li Gen very much.

When returning to Luntai City, pass through the fruit forest.

A hare, by three people and one shot, was directly dried to pieces.

For the management of flintlock pistols, Li Gen introduced very strict measures.

The barracks are staffed with a dedicated firearms and ammunition manager.

During the daily training, the soldiers received it from the administrator, and after the training, they had to turn it in.

The soldiers defending Luntai City also formulated a strict gun handover management system.

Li Gen is well aware of the serious hidden dangers that will arise if the control of firearms is not strict.

When the height of summer comes.

The first artillery was pushed by more than a dozen soldiers to the vast Gobi Desert north of the city.

When the whistling shells burst out of the chamber and landed on the Gobi Desert dozens of miles away, thick gunpowder smoke rose.

All the generals present were all scared silly.

Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and Qin Shubao, as well as all the generals, all held clairvoyants and looked into the distance.

And the hands of the people holding clairvoyants trembled violently.

It's horrible, it's fucking horrible.

The power of this thing is beyond anyone's imagination.

The clairvoyant eye can clearly see that where the shell landed, it was directly blown out of a huge deep pit.

This thing, if it is aimed at the crowd of enemy troops, one goes down, and it is the rhythm of a large number of casualties.

No matter how strong the walls are, in front of them, they will no longer have any effect at all.

Cheng Biting Jin, Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao glanced at each other, and they all saw a shocking look in each other's eyes.

The future, no doubt!

In this world, it must be His Royal Highness King Qin.

Li Er is awesome again.

A few cannonballs flew into the palace, and Li Er, who was so coaxing, definitely ran faster than a rabbit.

It's just that, according to the temperament of His Royal Highness King Qin, the possibility of forcing the palace is almost minimal.

The three generals are very glad that they stood in the right line early and are also in the right line.

If it weren't for that, once the road to winning the throne in the future was really to the point of drawing the sword and crossbowing.

His Royal Highness the King of Qin here, it is not a sword that is pulled out, and it is not a bow and crossbow that is opened.

Flintlock pistols and cannonballs are simply invincible.

Not to mention, His Royal Highness King Qin has been continuously engaged in the research and development of steam cars recently.

Although Cheng Bites Jin and the three of them, they don't know what a steam engine is.

However, this name sounds very awesome.

All with the machine, it is definitely not simple.

June 15, 10th year of Zhenguan.

The eldest son of Li Gen and Princess Qin was born.

The entire Luntai City was in celebration.

Li Gen named his eldest son, Li Chang'an, and specially sent messengers to Chang'an City to report the good news.

Li Gen sent Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai, because they are not only completely worthy of Li Gen's new appointment, but also have important things to do on this trip.

If you send others, Li Gen is really not very relieved.

…………

The crown prince Li Chengqian led his army all the way south, Baekje Kingdom, and in the face of the Tang Iron Cavalry falling from the sky, he had no power to parry.

Baekje is a small country, that is, bullying and bullying, and countries like Silla that are smaller than it have a set.

In front of the real Datang Iron Cavalry, it is a completely unequal crushing mode.

Before the Tang army attacked the palace of the king of Baekje, the head of the king of Baekje had been cut off by his generals.

Naturally, the general carried the head of the king of Baekje to find a way to survive.

Li Chengqian naturally smiled and accepted the great gift from the other general.

After pacifying Baekje, Li Chengqian continued to move south with his army.

The king of Silla led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

And warmly entertained the Tang soldiers.

The king of Silla was also really happy, Goguryeo and Baekje were destroyed one after another, and Silla was originally a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and it directly bordered the land of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

No more getting mixed up with Baekje and Goguryeo.

The prince of the Tang Dynasty came to Silla in person, and the king of Silla dressed up more than a dozen of his princesses, all of them, and then served Li Chengqian at the banquet.

As the saying goes, if you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk.

The joy of a big victory, coupled with the loneliness of mathematics.

Li Chengqian was left and right to serve his own women, which stirred up his emotions.

Soon, after a few bottles of wine, Li Chengqian's lower abdomen was hot.

Picking up a young girl in front of him, Li Chengqian went directly to the bed.

………

Afterwards, Li Chengqian learned that this woman was the princess of King Silla.

Even if she looks like a country and a natural fragrance, Li Chengqian will not take her back to Chang'an City now.

This time, he made great achievements, if he brought a woman back to the palace.

will greatly damage the impression of his own battle in the heart of his father.

After making up his mind, Li Chengqian was reluctant to give up the gentle township at present.

So, after you and I have been farming for a full month.

Li Chengqian reluctantly led the army to leave.

The army returned triumphantly.

Along the way, he was warmly cheered and entertained by the people of Datang.

Chang'an City, Taiji Palace.

"Report ......"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led a triumphant army, more than ten miles northeast of Chang'an City."

In the Hall of Virtue, Li Shimin is presiding over the government.

Hearing the report of the messenger soldiers, Li Shimin stood up with great joy.

"Zhongqing, go out of the city with me, go to meet my crown prince, and return triumphantly!"

"Delu, go to the Lizheng Palace, and let the queen accompany me to pick up the prince."

Li Shimin was in an infinitely good mood at this time.

Although in the army, there are 100 cavalry spies planted by Li Shimin, who secretly recorded the entire battle.

However, regardless of the process, the result was very satisfactory to Li Shimin.

As for the process, what I have is time, ask slowly.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun rode in the car of the Son of Heaven, and all the civil and military officials followed him.

Empress Eldest Sun had a proud and proud expression on her face at this time.

Cheng Qian was able to return victoriously, and as a mother, Empress Changsun felt extremely proud.

Although as early as three months ago, after receiving the good news that Chengqian led the army to defeat Goguryeo, Empress Changsun completely let go of her worries day and night.

However, Cheng Qian did not return for a day, and the eldest grandson queen was worried for a day.

Today, his eldest son has finally returned triumphantly.

Li Shimin naturally saw the eldest grandson empress with a look of joy and pride.

"Guanyin, you should rest assured now, right? Our master, like his father, is also a person who is both civil and military. ”

Li Shimin praised his son, did not forget, and praised himself.

The eldest grandson empress pursed her lips and laughed.

On the official road northeast of Chang'an City.

The banner of Tang characters is waving in the wind.

The crown prince Li Chengqian took the lead and rode the horse at the front of the team.

"Erlang, that's our mastery...... But in a year, this kid is so dark and thin......"

Empress Changsun looked at it with clairvoyance in her hand, and blurted out in distress.

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately looked at it with clairvoyance.

"Guanyin, marching and fighting, no better than in the palace, the wind and the sun, the wind and rain, if Cheng Qian is still like the previous fine skin and tender meat, this great victory, I, I seriously doubt, without his half of the credit......"

"Looking at him like this now, I am very relieved, I am very relieved......"

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was getting closer and closer to him, Li Chengqian raised his right hand high.

The army behind immediately stopped marching.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Zhang Liang and Hou Junji and other accompanying generals also turned over and dismounted.

"Driving ......"

Li Chengqian patted the horse's back, and the mount under his crotch jumped out.

At a distance of about ten steps from the Son of Heaven's car, Li Chengqian pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse stopped steadily.

Let Li Shimin, who was in the Son of Heaven's car, nod approvingly.

With this skill, it is enough to prove Li Chengqian's tremendous growth.

"Son, see the father, see the queen mother......"

Li Chengqian turned over and dismounted, tidied up his clothes, and immediately knelt respectfully on the ground.

It's been a year, from the 16th day of July in the ninth year of Zhenguan to the return of the first day of July in the tenth year of Zhenguan.

There is still half a month, and it will be a whole year.

Looking at Li Chengqian, who was obviously emaciated, his skin was even darker and shiny.

Li Shimin and Empress Eldest Sun walked forward together.

The two of them helped Li Chengqian up with their own hands.

"Cheng Qian, father and mother, led the civil and military officials to greet you, to welcome the soldiers who have returned triumphantly."

"Cheng Qian, father and queen mother, have high hopes for you, and you really did not disappoint your father and mother."

"My father has always been very worried about your ability to lead troops, but now my father can completely put his mind at ease...... Take a good rest for a few days, and then deal with the government with your father. ”

Li Shimin's words made Li Chengqian excited, and also made the eldest grandson Wuji behind him, stroke his beard with his happy hand and nod frequently.

After a year of hard work and hard work, I finally paid off.

After this battle, the position of the crown prince will be even more solid.

"Son, obey my father's command!"

Li Chengqian bowed respectfully.

"Spread my will and reward all meritorious soldiers!"

"In the palace today, there is a big celebration wine!"

"From now on, the curfew in Chang'an City will be lifted for three days, and the prince will return victorious, and I should congratulate the world with ......"

"Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Ministers, welcome the triumphant return of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The ministers saluted and shouted!

Li Shimin boarded the car of the Son of Heaven, waved his hand, and drove back to the palace.

Li Chengqian rode a horse and followed the left side of the Son of Heaven's car majestically.

In Chang'an City, the people who got the news had already gathered on both sides of the street.

The Sui Dynasty conquered four times, and Goguryeo, the hard-boned bone that could not be gnawed, was actually taken down by the army led by the prince of the Tang Dynasty, which is really exciting.

There is no doubt that Li Chengqian felt it for the first time, and the cheers from the people came.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness!"

The deafening cheers made Li Chengqian's spirit soar more and more.

The hall of virtue is full of wine and delicacies.

In addition to more than a dozen generals such as Li Chengqian, eldest grandson Wuji, Zhang Liang and Hou Junji.

The other soldiers who returned in triumph drank the celebratory wine outside the hall.

Wang Xuance and Xi Jun bought two people and came on horseback.

When they were in Jinguangmen, Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai had already learned that such a big movement in Chang'an City today turned out to be the day of His Royal Highness the Prince's triumphant return.

The two finally knew that on the same day that His Royal Highness the King of Qin returned to the Western Regions, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led his troops to attack Goguryeo.

Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai, wearing generals' armor and stomachs, inquired about the news, like a fish in water.

The two learned that His Majesty and the Empress were all out of the city to meet the triumphant army.

So he rode his horse and galloped straight to the manor in the south of the city.

Inside the estate, everything was fine.

The soldiers guarding the manor have all been withdrawn.

Now that there is no longer the value and significance of guarding here, Li Shimin naturally withdrew the guards as soon as he gave the order.

"There is darkness, there is darkness, there is coming, there is ...... return"

In the huge manor, only darkness and back and forth, four people watched.

The four of them were busy in the field, when they heard the sound, they turned around and saw Wang Xuance and Xi Jun buying horses, and the four of them immediately put down the tools in their hands and hurriedly greeted them.

"Is there anything to eat? Give us both a meal on the hour! ”

Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai turned over and dismounted.

There are important items on horseback for this trip, but it is inconvenient to send them at this time, because people are definitely not in the house.

"Two generals, please wait."

Wang Xuance and Xi Jun bought it, but they didn't dare to enter the division commander's room.

The two of them went straight to the room where they had been staying.

Soon, there was darkness and darkness, and the meal was delivered.

The two feasted, and there was darkness, darkness, coming, and backing, and they chatted until dusk was approaching.

Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai, turned on their horses, and went straight to the direction of Chang'an City.

At the door of the Wei Mansion, Wang Xuance gently clicked the knocker.

Wei Zheng drank too much alcohol today and was sleeping with his head covered.

When the butler opened the door, he saw two young generals, and his face was clouded, because the butler had never seen these two before.

"We are students of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and we are entrusted by His Royal Highness the King of Qin to meet Wei Zhongcheng......"

"It turned out to be from His Royal Highness King Qin, come in, please come into the mansion quickly......"

The housekeeper bought Wang Xuance and Xi Jun and warmly invited them into the house.

Wei Zheng, who was asleep, heard that His Royal Highness the King of Qin had sent someone, and immediately sat up in shock.

What a coincidence, what a coincidence.

Today, when the prince returned, his son-in-law also sent someone.

Wei Zheng and his wife Pei Shi learned that Princess Qin gave birth to her eldest son, and the two of them were happy.

Pei Shi wiped tears with joy.

learned that if there is no accident, the heirs of Wei Shuyu and Princess Qinghe will also be born in the near future.

Wei Zheng, who is both a grandfather and a grandfather, instantly feels dozens of years younger.

"Wei Zhongcheng, this is His Royal Highness, let the two of us make a special trip to Wei Zhongcheng."

Wang Xuance and Xi Jun bought and took off the important items hanging on the horse's back.

The two lifted the cloth, and Wei Zheng was a little confused on the spot.

Looking at the two of them, with a cautious look, Wei Zheng thought it was such a precious thing.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be two delicate bird cages.

And in the two delicate bird cages, there is a pair of pigeons in each.

"Wei Zhongcheng, Your Highness said that these two pairs of carrier pigeons will be the messenger tools for you and Your Highness in the future......"

When Wei Zheng heard this, he was instantly stunned.
