Fifteen years old.

Mid-year.

The first line of bullets, as well as the first line of machine guns, was completed.

After Li Bi's research, a relatively stable bullet primer with a high firing rate has been produced.

It's also at this moment.

Li Chong was a little relieved at this time, and even had the interest to sing a little song.

Li Zixin also said to him: "Why is Your Majesty so interested today? ”

Li Chong could only say: "Because I haven't seen you for most of the year." ”

That's true!

Li Zixin also had to admit it.

It seems that since becoming His Majesty, Li Chong has not been busy for a day.

But then the next word......

I can relax a little.

One ......

Everything is already on track, and the next step is to get it done.

At this time, even if he is in a hurry, it is useless.

After all......

The craftsmen under this hand don't have three heads and six arms, and their efficiency is so fast.

No matter how much you urge, you won't get there quickly.

On the contrary, it is possible to make himself Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Yang of Sui.

Secondly......

With bullet primer and new guns, this means that Datang's current strength should be guaranteed.

In this way, it also means that for the time being, his throne should be at ease.

Over the past few years......

Li Bi has always been committed to the study of the primer of bullets.

In addition to researching the formula for the primer of the bullet.

Some experiments on safety have also been done.

Right now......

I can't say that there won't be a problem at all, but at least......

It's already at the point where it can be used.

Li Zhong also went out of his way to try it.

All I can say is......

It felt ok.

Once you have the primer of the bullet, the next step is to load it on the cartridge case, and then stuff it into the magazine.

This Li heavy machine gun can be regarded as complete.

Estimate......

Words this fall.

I should be looking for a place to test the power of this gun and ammunition.

And autumn is also the time of invasion by Turkic and other nomadic peoples.

Of course!

In all things, there is mutual restraint.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing to find out about such guns and ammunition?

This may have to be said separately.

It's not good, one day this bullet will fall on his body.

Therefore......

There must be someone who is absolutely loyal to oneself to take charge of these guns and ammunition.

It's just that......

Even if it is kept secret, it seems that it is difficult to prevent leakage.

The only way to do that is to put in place a system that minimizes the risk of accidents as low as possible.

There must be an officer to supervise the use of firearms and ammunition.

Subsequently......

Li Chong also discussed related issues with Li Bi.

In the autumn of this year.

Soon......

This heavy machine gun was used on small battlefields.

There were some Turks, only a few dozen or hundreds of them, who did not speak of martial virtues, went south to plunder, and then ......

The Lee-heavy machine gun immediately did what it should.

All of a sudden, a cavalry team of dozens or hundreds of people was all knocked off the horse.

When the news came back to the palace.

Li Chong only hated himself for not being able to come in person.

But......

It doesn't matter anymore.

After all......

Scarecrows, stakes, in fact, he has seen it.

As for the person who came back to report, did he lie, as he has rich experience in watching movies, how could he not know that what the other party said was true and what was false.

In a word......

After you're done with this bullet, you have to collect the bullets, bullet casings, and so on.

Don't think about it, this bullet casing is made of copper, and then you want to embezzle.

Small battles like this are easy to recycle.

If it's a big campaign, there's probably no way.

But......

No matter how big or small the battle is, there is nothing wrong with picking up the bullets that were fired and the bullet casings that were discarded.

After all......

Datang hasn't had the money yet, so he wastes so much copper.

Although nowadays, copper coins are no longer the mainstream currency traded by the people of the Tang Dynasty, but this copper can be melted to make a lot of things.

For example, incense burners or something, Buddha statues or something, so this copper is still very valuable.

Therefore......

The first thing the officer who was assigned to supervise was to count the number of bullets before they were fired, and the number of shells after the battle.

This is used as a basis for promotion, and there is also a basis for making a fortune.

That's the only way!

In order to prevent this corruption as much as possible.

Lee Chong is also experimenting with using iron to make bullet shells.

But......

That's more on that later.

At least......

For now, copper is still used.

When the successive war reports came from the northwest, from the north.

Li Zhong looked at the battle reports full of big victories, and he was also very calm.

Even frowned a little.

Even Changsun Qing couldn't help but say, "Since the war on the frontier is so smooth, why is Your Majesty still so sad?" ”

Li Chong had no choice but to say: "This is a double-edged sword, it kills the enemy, no matter how fierce it is, then it will not be soft at all when it kills its own people." ”

"I'm worried about the future."

"Does the Empress know what is the most effective way to avoid war?"

Of course, Changsun Qing couldn't think of it, so he asked directly, "What is it?" ”

Li Chong: "It's to create a very powerful weapon, this kind of weapon, plus a positioning system, is aimed at the palace of every country." ”

"So...... Then the countries of the world will no longer be at war. ”

Changsun Qing: "? ”

Changsun Qing, a woman, still doesn't seem to understand.

Li Chong didn't plan to tell her more.

Just let her pinch her shoulders.

And at the same time......

In the autumn of this year.

The first batch of envoys of the Tang Dynasty also arrived at the territory of the Great Cannibal.

At this time, there are some areas where Dashi is still fighting with the feudal state of the Tang Dynasty.

Naturally......

For this Tang man with the same skin color, he is naturally not welcome at all.

But......

Even if you don't want to see each other again, you still need to see each other and then ask the other party what they want to do.

Followed by......

The envoy of the Tang Dynasty made his intention clear to the other party.

Say you're here to do business.

It is convenient to ask the envoys of the Tang Dynasty what business they do.

Because of this oil extraction, it is not something that can be hidden.

So......

The envoys of the Tang Dynasty can only say it directly.

But you have to know......

This is on the side of their big food in Arabia, and this oil is also a war resource.

As soon as they heard that this was being mined, people naturally kept an eye on it, saying that you are mining this, probably because you want to attack us.

The envoys of the Tang Dynasty further explained the situation, and the Tang Dynasty loved peace and did not want to fight.

Due to the long-term war and civil strife, to tell the truth, this big food does not want to go to war with Datang again.

After asking the envoys of the Tang Dynasty again what the oil was used for, it was not a good thing to consider that if someone could help them extract oil, they would use oil to fight wars.

This oil is Greek fire.

How strong the Greek fire was, as early as one or two hundred years ago, their ancestors already knew.

It is precisely because of the existence of Greek fire that their powerful Great Food Empire did not win the war with the Eastern Roman Empire.

Now a group of people came running up to them and told them that they had come to mine the materials for Greek fire.

Subsequently......

The caliph sent the envoys of the Tang Dynasty to rest, and he consulted with the ministers about the purpose of these people's coming here.

Datang ......

It's a name they've heard for a long time.

Even......

Decades ago, they seemed to have sent envoys to Datang, just to see if they could let Datang curb the attacks of those feudal states.

But obviously!

It is said that the mission did not have any effect.

Datang directly rejected them on the grounds that the distance was too far.

And......

They don't seem to have much interest in wanting to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

Now......

This envoy of the Tang Dynasty actually came to him from thousands of miles away.

Can I re-claim and become a vassal state of Datang?

If you really can......

The matter of the caliphate, who may be replaced in five or six years, may not happen again.

Because of what!

Because if you change, then Datang, as the suzerain, will definitely have something to say.

So......

Even if you really overthrow this caliphate, can you withstand the wrath of the suzerainty of the Tang Dynasty?

In order to find out, Datang has the strength to protect itself.

Next......

The two sides also held many banquets and negotiations.

Li Chong's bottom line for his envoys is that if they can be solved with money, they will be solved with money.

It's just that......

He never thought that this big cannibal wanted to take refuge in the arms of Datang directly.

But there is a problem that also comes.

The envoys of the Tang Dynasty also don't know if the Tang Dynasty can stop those Tang Dynasty from sealing the country.

Because......

To be reasonable, Datang has long been laissez-faire about the feudal country to the west, and some have not been in contact for a long time.

This also made the envoys of the Tang Dynasty unable to help but make difficulties.

Not to mention......

What also made the Tang envoys difficult was whether Datang could give the other party military support.

There is no way......

I had to reconnect with Li Chong by radio.

When the envoy threw this question to Li Chonghou.

Be reasonable!

Li Chong was also a little difficult at this time.

After all......

Compared with the great cannibals, the people of the feudal country may be closer to themselves, and you can't attack the people of your feudal kingdom for the sake of your great cannibals.

Of course!

If it is from the perspective of interests, how can there be so many relatives, if you talk about kinship, Li Er will not take Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to the house.

Therefore......

If you really want to have no bottom line, simply for your own interests, you can agree to the other party first and try to make a temporary truce between the two sides.

All I can say is......

This has to be carefully considered.

Then Li Chong asked the envoys to be outside, and then probed into the reality of the big cannibals, how many cities, how many populations, and how difficult it would be if the Tang Dynasty wanted to take the entire peninsula.

The key is how many troops are needed.

By the way, send someone to the nearest feudal country and get in touch with the other party.

The Tang Dynasty in the west, in the future, they can't do whatever they want.

And......

If Datang really beats the entire Great Food, will these feudal countries become a new obstacle to Datang because of their interests?

These......

Li Zhong has to think about it.

That's because Li Chong is so good.

By the end of the year.

Various countries also sent envoys one after another, and they came to Datang one after another.

Not why.

Just to see if you can catch this big tree in Datang.

In the past, the reason why they didn't have such an idea was because the power of Datang couldn't reach them at all.

But now it's different!

Since the envoys of the Tang Dynasty have come to their territory, this also means that the forces of the Tang Dynasty can reach here.

Then there is also the possibility of becoming a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

Sixteen years old.

March.

Contingents of envoys from various countries arrived in Luoyang one after another.

Li Chong naturally wouldn't have thought that it would be such a picture.

Alas......

This also made Li Chong extremely entangled.

In fact......

Li Zhong thinks that the best way should be to directly erase these big cannibals or something from the map, which is the best way to cure the root cause.

Just, right......

Truly!

This is not a good thing.

Fighting a war kills people.

And......

If everyone else on the earth dies except for the yellow race, who else can they exploit?

Just like the U.S. imperialism, which also raised China as a pig at the beginning, plundered China's cheap labor from China.

It's just that Huaxia was ashamed and brave, and slowly caught up.

The reason why the U.S. imperialists are always the neck of Kahuaxia is because Huaxia is very disobedient, honestly providing cheap labor, and it is good to make do with it.

Outcome......

If you still want to develop high technology, and you still want to build aircraft carriers, then this is not something that the other side can endure.

The most important thing you should do is to provide their stores with cheap toys and all kinds of cheap clothes.

This is the most important thing for Huaxia to do.

At this time, Li Chong didn't know what to do.

It turns out.

The United States is risky in this way, and if it does not eliminate the potential enemy at this time, then the potential enemy will develop sooner or later, and then counterattack you.

But what!

If the war starts now, then the time will ......

And also!

When there is no contradiction between race, will there be a conflict of interests with the feudal state?

When the time comes......

If they wipe out all the big cannibals, will they be peached by these feudal countries next?

I can't make up my mind......

Gather all the prime ministers to a meeting.

This situation and this scene are quite a bit of the meaning of Li Er's meeting to fight Gaochang back then.

Some people say that Gaochang is so far away, it's useless to fight, and it's not easy to defend it, and the government soldiers have changed for several years, once and again, the dead are not to mention, the people of Datang are not doing very well, why should Your Majesty spend so much money to attack a Gaochang that will not bring any benefit to Datang? It's better to focus on appeasement.

But Li Er is iron-hearted and wants to knock Gao Chang down.

It turns out.

Li Er did the right thing!

Although many people will die, Gaochang and the Western Regions have become the sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty, and they also have a deterrent effect on the Western Turks.

Otherwise......

If there is no Gaochang and no four towns in Anxi, then the Western Turks are in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, so they don't do whatever they want.

Li Chong couldn't help but tell everyone about this past.

Of course!

It's different now.

Li Er was trying to contain the power of the Western Turks at that time.

What now?

Now he's just trying to make money.
