Chapter 140: My words may be more effective than a princess
All I can say is......
Doing things with smart people is effortless.
I saw that Li Chong also patted Li Chunfeng on the shoulder very seriously, and said to Li Chunfeng: "I hope that you will be able to fight wherever you want to point in the future, and strive to destroy the enemy's combat formation and demoralize them within a few shells."
……
Li Chunfeng felt that he had been trapped.
Bachelor Li is not making himself the vice president of the Academy of Sciences at all, but letting himself go to war.
……
However, there is no way.
Whoever let Li Chong know him.
After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Li Chunfeng also understood the reason why he was chosen.
First of all!
He is good at arithmetic, and if he wants to aim accurately, he still needs a little arithmetic foundation.
Secondly......
Mr. Li has never had many friends.
At last......
This is also for the people of Datang.
……
"If you can kill the enemy generals with a single shot when they come forward, stand forward, and observe the battlefield, that's the best."
"Otherwise, we will have to settle for the next best thing, destroying the formation and demoralizing."
"Killing an enemy general requires a little calculation, and at the same time, it also requires a little luck."
"If you destroy the formation, you can rely on experience, and in a short period of time, there will be a certain chance of trial and error."
"But even then, it's extremely easy to startle."
"I need you to collect a certain amount of test firing data, as well as accumulate experience, and then before the next big war, you can kill a target on the battlefield with one hit."
Yes!
Li Chong hoped that Li Chunfeng would better shoot Songtsen Gampo with one blow.
Otherwise......
Then it can only depend on whether Li Jing can keep the other party.
Of course!
Such a cannon alone will definitely not work.
In order to increase the probability, Li Zhong planned to build at least four more of these guns, and then leave one for solid shells, and switch to shotguns.
Since he doesn't have much test firing data, now, he can only rely on Li Chunfeng to try little by little.
Even......
He doesn't have much experience with how to get shotguns, and he has to keep figuring it out.
In a word......
Now don't look at his two shells seem to be very successful, in fact, there is no use for birds at all.
This can only prove that this thing can indeed be used, and there are still many problems that Li Chunfeng has to solve.
Li Chongdu listed them for him one by one.
took out a note from his arms, which already listed more than a dozen problems that Li Chunfeng needed to solve next.
Li Chunfeng took the note.
He originally wanted to refuse, because he didn't feel that he was any material for war, but for the sake of the people of the Tang Dynasty and for the sake of Master Li......
Then Li Chunfeng asked:
"I did this, so what do you do?"
Li Chong said, "Of course, I have to do a good job of logistics, such as your shells and gunpowder, I will produce them."
"Hmm......"
Li Chunfeng felt as if something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
But......
Let's not talk about that much.
This thing is really worth looking into.
can shoot an iron ball weighing at least ten catties so far.
Li Chunfeng asked Li Chong how he did this.
Although Li Chong and Li Chunfeng are friends, the formula of gunpowder does not mean that Li Chong does not want to tell each other, but ......
For now, the less people know about this thing, the better.
In a word......
No matter how much he needs, Li Chong will help him get it as much as possible.
Li Chunfeng also knows this well
West is not something that ordinary people can grasp.
So......
I didn't bother with it.
Anyway......
You know that it ignites the black gunpowder inside, and then the high-temperature and high-pressure gas produced by the gunpowder pushes out the iron ball.
……
Then, for the next period of time, Li Chong made gunpowder and competed with Li Chunfeng's speed of consuming gunpowder.
For example, saltpeter is needed in large quantities, and Li Chong also had to ask Li Er to help.
As for the sulfur, he can buy it by himself, and then make the charcoal himself.
All the ingredients will eventually change hands several times, and finally they will be summarized in the princess's mansion, and then the slaves and maids of the princess's mansion will be made together with Li Chong.
Spring goes and autumn comes.
Throughout the ten years of Zhenguan, Li Chong was almost busy making gunpowder.
At the end of this year, Murong Nuo, the Khan of Tuyuhun, also came to the Tang Dynasty to propose marriage in person.
Li Er didn't agree immediately.
Because......
He also had to ask Li Chong's opinion.
After all, Li Chong has a deep obsession with women.
And then......
Li Chong also saw Murong Nuo Haobo himself with his own eyes, he looked okay, and his skin was also very fair, after all, he was a Xianbei person.
It's just that he's not very old, only thirteen years old.
After looking around Murong Nuo's bowl, Li Zhong also asked, "What does the Khan think is the meaning of the marriage proposal?"
"Is it the equivalent of providing yourself with a talisman?"
"You're young, and it's usually hard to suppress the restless militants within Tuyuhun."
"As far as I know, there must be a lot of people inside Tuyuhun who disagree with you."
"So, you hope to be able to improve your status by marrying a princess of the Tang Dynasty."
"I don't know if I'm right?"
That is, there are only three people now, and there are no other ministers of Tuyuhun, so Li Chong will say so.
I saw that after Murong Nuo Haobo himself listened to Li Chong's words, he didn't seem to deny it.
Li Chong said, "Actually...... You don't have to propose, and asking the Tang Emperor to give you a sword as a token can also serve the same purpose."
Li Zhong is flickering.
"Or ...... Do you have any sisters, especially those who are good-looking, if you introduce them to me, I can guarantee that Datang will do his best to keep peace with Tuyuhun, and support you to always be the Khan of Tuyuhun."
I saw Murong Nuo frowning and asked Li Er, "May I ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who is this?"
Then Li Chong reported to his family and said: "Li Chong, the prince and master of the Tang Dynasty, that is to say, if the Tang Emperor unfortunately dies, as long as I don't die, I will still be the next emperor's important minister."
Li 2: "......"
Li Chong: "I don't want the women of the Tang Dynasty to go to the grassland to suffer, but I think that the women of the grassland can come to the Tang Dynasty to enjoy the blessings, what do you think?"
Murong Nuo was directly at a loss.
Because he didn't know that there was such a person.
He glanced at Li Er.
Although Li Er wanted to say, come on, drag Li Chong out and cut him down.
But!
Now, he had to say, "That's true!"
Murong Nuo said, "Ben Khan has no sisters."
Li Chong: "That's okay, you and I can be brothers!" You call me brother, and I'll cover you from now on."
Murong Nuo's bowl: "......"
Li Chong: "You see, my words may be more effective than a princess."
