Chapter 745: The Emperor's Dream Strength
However, with why bother's temperament, this person has always acted casually, but he is a person who values affection and promises, and he lives freely and freely, and it is not suitable for you to stay in one place and be an honest king of Nanzhao.
I have known him for so many years, and he dared to argue with the powerful clan back then, after dealing with Li Yuanchang back then, the eldest husband died and was only a hundred catties of meat, a standard ranger style.
Based on Zhang Yang's understanding of him, this person is not at all a material to be at ease.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Yang still asked his aunt to arrange for the braised pork gang to hand over the letter to He Bi, and the letter also instructed Brother He to find a person named Bearded Ke.
In the rangers, the bearded guest, like Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl, is also a person full of stories and legends.
The daughter had fallen asleep on the table, because the ink on the paper had not dried, and there was some ink on her fat face.
Li Yue picked her up and took her to wash, after all, she was her daughter.
The night was dark, Zhang Yang yawned, and was about to enter the house to rest, but found that the door of the bedroom had been locked.
"I'll sleep with my daughter tonight."
The voice of the daughter-in-law came from the house, just because the daughter went to bomb Chang'an City, and she still has a temper.
Zhang Yang had no choice but to go to the study to sleep, and the loud snoring sound in the hazy sleep came again, just because he was very sleepy, and he was noisy and half-asleep all night.
At dawn, Zhang Yang was still washing listlessly, and in the early morning, a eunuch from the palace came to spread the word, saying that the firearms would be sent to the school field of the leading guards at noon.
Zhang Yang just coped and went down the mountain to the door of the king of Hejian County.
Li Xiaogong also looked at the dawn of the day, what was he doing at the door of his house, "Why are your eyes blank." ”
Zhang Yang sat by the wall and waved his hands and said, "I didn't sleep well last night." ”
Lee Hyo-gung tore the cake into a bowl of soup and looked at the scenery in the field as he ate.
"When can I plant grapes?"
"April if it's fast, May if it's slow."
The wheat has just been planted in the field, and it is the time for budding, and this year's wheat was planted early, in March.
Earlier than anywhere else.
This is the result of Shangguan Yi and the old farmers, this year's spring cold has just passed, and it is said that it is not yet time to farm.
And because of the cold spring, this year's spring rain has not come for a long time, but the warm weather has come quickly, and the water level of Weishui has been replenished in advance.
According to the annual farming rules of Lishan, if the harvest is early, the rice can be planted in July and harvested in early November, and the rice will grow better.
Taifu Temple officially began to influence the cultivation of several villages and counties around Lishan.
The scenery of wheat sprouting in the field is very beautiful.
Li Xiaogong finished eating the soup cake in the bowl, put the bowl aside, and sat cross-legged, "What does the old man need to do?" ”
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, there are still nine iron barrels in Lishan, and I have sent the primer device to the blacksmith's workshop, and there are eighty medicine bags to take with me." ”
"And after that?"
"Trouble the king of Hejian to send to the school field of the military guard, today Your Majesty wants to see the power of firearms."
Li Xiaogong raised his head and sighed, "The old man will vomit when he goes to the army." ”
"Hiss......"
Zhang Yang gasped, "His Royal Highness King Wei's illness has also been passed on to you?" ”
Li Xiaogong lowered his head, "Let's go, old man, I can't let your kid go forever." ”
"Why do you think I'm going to never come back?"
Li Xiaogong patted him on the shoulder, "Back then, Shang Ying made Xian Qin strong, and then Shang Ying died, and he ...... back then."
Zhang Yang interrupted him, "Don't say it, I understand." ”
Li Xiaogong got up and walked to the entrance of the village, even if His Majesty left Lishan, these officers and soldiers are still there, they are usually stationed here, and at night these officers and soldiers will be divided into several teams around Lishan and start patrolling.
Thinking of Li Shimin's intentions, it seems that the knife edge is outward, and I don't know when the knife edge stabbed Lishan inward.
Li Xiaogong called a few soldiers at the entrance of the village and asked them to transport the remaining nine iron buckets out of the village.
Walking out of this station, Li Xiaogong saw Li Jing in the afterglow, and also saw a small section of the horizontal knife on the waist of a soldier.
Li Xiaogong is very familiar with this thing, especially the horizontal knife cast by Lishan fine iron, which he can see at a glance.
can master such a good weapon, as well as such a good discipline and organizational ability, and Li Jing personally practiced, and even directly under His Majesty.
Li Xiaogong understood in his heart that most of this army was divided by the Longwu Army.
After the Xuanwu Gate incident, at the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, he selected the strong men in the flying cavalry camp to form a hundred cavalry, and these hundred cavalry guards were the Longwu Army.
This dragon army will not be easily revealed in front of people, and this hundred horsemen is the most courageous one in the army.
The leading guards were stationed near Longshouyuan, and the school yard was also here.
There were a lot of people entering and leaving the school, and Li Xiaogong first said hello to Qin Qiong, "Second brother." ”
Qin Qiong saluted slightly: "King of Hejian County." ”
Li Xiaogong asked people to enter the school field with an iron bucket first, and talked with Qin Qiong while walking, "Why are there so many civil officials here?" ”
Qin Qiong ate dates and explained: "Your Majesty is going to perform martial arts today. ”
"Martial arts?"
Qin Qiong's eyes flickered, "Look." ”
Following his gaze, Li Xiaogong saw Songtsen Gampo and other envoys.
Li Xiaogong said again: "It turns out that Your Majesty means this. ”
There was also a banquet on campus, Qin Qiong took Li Xiaogong to sit down, "How is your health recently?" ”
Li Xiaogong looked at the dishes on the table and had no appetite, and explained: "Lishan is a good place to raise people, and the more rules there are, the body is better." ”
Qin Qiong sat upright, looked ahead and whispered: "I heard that the villagers of Lishan married five mothers-in-law two years ago, and it is rumored that none of the children born by the mother-in-law who married into Lishan died. ”
Li Xiaogong nodded, "In this way, it's true, the old man is so confused that he didn't notice it." ”
In the past two years, Datang has been revitalizing the population, and if few children die young, it will be a great thing for the population to boost.
Qin Qiong said in a low voice: "I heard that it was because of Doctor Sun?" ”
Li Xiaogong explained: "How can it be so mysterious, it is nothing more than that Zhang Yang and Her Royal Highness the princess have set a rule, and Lishan must be at least twenty years old regardless of whether it is a man or woman who marries, and that's it." ”
"That's it?"
Li Xiaogong nodded, "How can there be so many elixirs in this world, when Lishan first set this rule, he was not laughed at, but now?" How many girl dolls want to marry to Lishan, and how many men want to marry Lishan's mother-in-law? ”
Qin Qiong was puzzled, and her face was worried, "In that case, why has no one in the DPRK ever talked about this matter?" ”
"The old man doesn't know, who knows what these people in the DPRK and China think."
Li Xiaogong looked around, there were more and more guests and civil officials coming and going, and there were more and more people coming and going before His Majesty showed up.
Almost all the important officials in the DPRK and China are here.
There are even the magnates of Chang'an City, Yu Shinan and others.
Not long after, Xu Jingzong came to greet Li Yifu.
Speaking of the Ministry of Rites over the years, Xu Jingzong and the King of Hejian County also have some friendship.
"Xia Guan has seen the king of Hejian County and the general of Qin."
Li Xiaogong got up and smiled, and slapped Xu Jingzong's shoulder with a palm, "Hahaha!" You are also a scholar of the Ministry of Rites now, the old man's tricks are really sharp, the Ministry of Rites has that kid first, and then why don't you worry? ”
Xu Jingzong was slapped by this palm for a while, and he couldn't get back of breath, "The demeanor of the king of Hejian County is still the same, and the Ministry of Rites still thinks about you and the county marquis every day when there are such subordinate officials." ”
"Well, this is ......"
Li Yifu hurriedly saluted, "The lower official rite department disperses Li Yifu." ”
said it solemnly, politely and politely, Li Yifu wanted to say something more, but found that the king of Hejian County directly ignored him.
could only stand awkwardly in place, watching the king of Hejian and Xu Shangshu talking cordially.
Li Xiaogong asked in a low voice: "Old man, I heard that you have been at odds with the eldest grandson Wuji all these years?" ”
Xu Jingzong nodded with emotion, "Let the king of Hejian County laugh, although the lower official is not as powerful as his eldest grandson old fox now, he will definitely be able to trample this old fox under his feet in time." ”
The prince walked over with a smile and interrupted the conversation between the two, "King Hejian County, Your Majesty is here, please prepare." ”
Xu Jingzong retreated to the side very familiarly.
Li Xiaogong asked, "Do you want a certain family to show this thing to these people?" ”
"The king of Hejian County came with the old slave."
Li Xiaogong nodded and followed, on the other side of the school grounds, there was a raised platform that seemed to be for guests.
Directly to the south of the high platform was an open field, and the manpower and iron bucket cannons of the Long Wu Army had been lined up, and the iron buckets that had been used once that day were impressively present.
The men of the leading guards built a wall here, and it was built in the style of the wall.
Li Xiaogong walked around and found that there were still many straw men behind the wall.
Walking back in front of the soldiers and horses escorting the firearms, Li Xiaogong advised: "At that time, if the firearms are blown up, whoever dares to take a half step back will be dealt with by military law." ”
"Whoa!"
The soldiers and horses said in unison.
Li Xiaogong calculated the distance, adjusted the direction of the iron bucket, and aimed it at the wall that had just been built.
Speaking of which, he still felt unsafe in his heart, this was the first time he had used so many artillery pieces at the same time, did he really have to do what Zhang Yang said?
It's no wonder it's uncomfortable, I feel uncomfortable when I shout like this.
The discussion came, and Li Xiaogong looked back and saw that many people had gathered on the high platform.
Li Shimin took the prince to the highest point of the high platform, and the ministers and the magnates present saluted one after another.
Finally, everyone's eyes fell on the row of ten iron barrels.
Li Xiaogong straightened his clothes, and in the face of so many eyes, he became more and more unhappy, and he regretted in his heart that he agreed to Zhang Yang's trip.
Not long after, Li Chongyi hurriedly walked over, "Dad, why are you here?" ”
Li Xiaogong shouted: "What are you doing here?" ”
Li Chongyi wore an official uniform and said: "Dad! I heard that this thing is very scary, and I will use it when my son goes away. ”
As he spoke, Li Chongyi retreated into the distance very cowardly.
Li Xiaogong glared at this kid, "At a young age, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, if you don't make it, what is there to be afraid of the iron bucket, how can the old man harm you?" ”
Li Chongyi smiled awkwardly, really reluctant to get closer.
His Majesty has asked people to wave the order flag, and the order flag is waved, this is the military order, and if the military order is not obeyed, it will be dealt with by military law.
Li Xiaogong felt a lot of pressure, and said in his heart Zhang Yang, don't make jokes about the things you make, otherwise the old man, the old man, the old and the young, will let you raise them.
Taking a deep breath, he shouted, "Load! ”
The soldiers of the Long Wu Army put the primer device on and fastened it tightly, and then stuffed the medicine bag into the barrel.
Taking another deep breath, Li Xiaogong shouted: "Fire!" ”
The loud roar lifted people's spirits, and with this roar, the heralds shouted from far to near, "Fire!" ”
It's like a great army going to war, and the shouts come in waves.
"Fire!" Wei Chigong, who was beside His Majesty, also roared loudly.
Songtsen Gampo and a group of envoys from outside the border were all watching these iron buckets.
The lead burned into the barrel, bursts of white smoke rose, and Li Shimin watched with bated breath.
"Bang! Boom! Bang ......"
Several explosions sounded one after another, and ten iron buckets exploded, and one by one fireballs flew towards the wall, and the moment they exploded, everyone saw the fireballs exploding on the wall.
There were also fireballs that went over the wall and exploded in the straw man pile behind.
Then came the sound of the wall collapsing, and the wall that had just been built collapsed with a bang.
When the heavy smoke cleared, everyone saw the scene in the school yard, the wall had collapsed, and the straw men behind were all scattered.
I don't know who cheered in the crowd first, and then the ministers of civil and military affairs cheered.
"Datang Wansheng!"
"Datang wins!"
……
Songtsen Gampo and many messengers looked stunned and were stunned on the spot.
What would it be like if these fireballs exploded in the crowd?
The sky of the Tang Dynasty is about to change, it should be said that the way of the world is going to change, the city that people thought they could hold in the past can no longer be relied on, as long as the Tang Army has a sharp weapon that can break the city wall, who else can compete with it?
Li Shimin sat upright, his eyes were a little fierce, his hands were clenched into fists, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart, this is the power I have been longing for, and this will be the beginning of the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
When he first talked about firearms in Qujiangchi, Li Shimin had already forgotten Zhang Yang's several words of advice at that time.
Now Li Shimin's heart only has four words, to expand the territory.
"Again."
His Majesty spoke in a low voice, and the soldiers on the side waved the order flag again.
Li Xiaogong once again asked the Shi clan to reload, and shouted again, "Fire!" ”
The herald also shouted, and at first he felt a little unhappy, but now Li Xiaogong feels that he should shout out as Zhang Yang said, and be energetic!
Without the protection of the stone wall, the scarecrow in the rear was blown to pieces, and large pieces of stone were also blown into rubble.
In the past, the two armies had to fight in battle, but now everything has changed.
When the two armies are fighting, they can use artillery to blow each other to pieces.
After several rounds of explosions in succession, the smoke of gunpowder in the school field made people cough, and Li Xiaogong shouted hoarsely, kept coughing, and spit several mouthfuls of spit.
When the school field was quiet again, the school field, which was still potholes, was blown out of bigger potholes at this moment.
There was a brief silence in the school grounds, and in the eyes of everyone, it was Li Xiaogong who shouted, and those iron buckets exploded, spitting out fireballs and exploding into the distance.
