For Li Shimin's requirements, Tongxuan Dao people have nothing to do, and they can even be said to be quite dedicated.

First, now that the Taoist temple has been reformed, the mentality is naturally different after having an official body.

Second, although His Majesty does not come often, he can see his devotion to the Five Thunder Agency.

Cutting down the forbidden garden, sending the forbidden army, and asking for all the materials should be called attentive.

Although the dispatch of materials in the department requires the approval of Li Junxian, the leader of the forbidden army, and every time the gunpowder ordnance trial is accompanied by the forbidden army to confirm the consumption of gunpowder, the five thunder departments that Tongxuan can master are only a part.

But in fact, he was quite satisfied, after all, such a clever and powerful thing, if His Majesty was in his hands without reservation, Tongxuan might have to worry about whether he could sleep peacefully.

There is no need to pass through, and soon Li Junxian also came here to ask for a meeting, and with the agreement of the two, the Five Thunder Agency also slowly unveiled the mysterious veil in front of Chu Suiliang.

The momentum of the powerful artillery shook the sky, and a cannon made the rammed earth wall crumbling, which made Chu Suiliang terrified.

The thunder clay pot is simple and easy to use, the broken pottery pieces are like a rainstorm shooting, and the armor leather is like paper being penetrated, which makes Chu Suiliang exclaim.

What was then displayed was some of the things that were trial-produced by the Five Mines Agency.

"This thing, the minister named it as a hoop bamboo cannon."

Tong Xuan held a thin bamboo tube to show the two of them, and at a glance this thing can be called flat, that is, a bamboo tube with a leather rope on the outside.

The inside was through, the bottom was sealed like a cannon, and Tongxuan carefully poured the gunpowder into it with a thin-necked flask, and then stuffed a few stone pellets into it.

After straightening it out, he stood up, and then a janitorial soldier stepped forward and cautiously lit the tail fuse.

With a dull popping sound, thick smoke and open flames rushed out of the mouth of the bamboo tube for nearly twenty steps, full of momentum.

However, Li Shimin saw more clearly, there were a few more obvious pits on the leather armor in the direction pointed by the mouth of the bamboo tube, but these pits were extremely scattered, and if they could be concentrated in one place, I am afraid that the momentum would be stronger.

"This thing...... I'm afraid that it will be of great use to Jing Qi. ”

Li Shimin keenly sensed that this thing was more suitable for use.

It can be operated with one hand, which is more convenient than a bow; The fire and smoke are terrifying, and they are even more powerful than crossbows.

If this bamboo tube is difficult to reuse, then it is necessary to have a few more on the horses, so that when the cavalry encounters the enemy, they can deceive themselves and release this small cannon in turn, and the prestige alone may be enough to cause the enemy to collapse.

But if this is the case, it is necessary to train a group of good horses that are not afraid of fire, smoke and earthquakes.

After thinking about it carefully, Li Shimin could only inform Li Junxian of this idea and let the Five Thunder Agency try it.

After this hoop bamboo cannon, the demonstrations of the Five Thunder Agency can be called numerous.

For example, in order to make the artillery lighter, simply try to use pine wood cannon body, outer hoop leather iron, the advantage is that it is extremely light and does not need to be horse-pulled, two athletes can carry it on their shoulders and walk like flying, the disadvantage is that even if the hoop iron, it can only be used for five or six cannons at most.

For example, in order to make the artillery more powerful, the craftsmen of the Five Thunder Department have drawn sketches, and want to take 20,000 catties of copper three-zhang cannons, but this design is still in the debate stage, after all, how to move and how to load such a giant cannon is a problem, and it is too powerful to speculate.

And Li Shimin directly rejected this design, which is still in the draft - not to mention how much money is spent for the time being, it is really difficult to think of what kind of enemy needs such a giant cannon to subdue the enemies on this earth.

Compared with these chaotic artillery, Li Shimin is still more and more satisfied with the various improvements in throwing mines.

For example, the clay pot contains thistle terrestris to increase the power, or the yellow clay mixed with wood is made of more inexpensive mud throwing thunder, etc.

Li Shimin came suddenly, and he left quite decisively, and after taking Chu Suiliang to read it and add some rewards for the Five Thunder Agency, he returned to the palace on the road.

Seeing Chu Suiliang, who was still dizzy, Li Shimin smiled:

"Dengshan's mind was taken away by gunpowder?"

Chu Suiliang rode on his horse, thinking of the various smoke and fire and light and vibrations he had just seen, as well as the crushed earthen walls, the pierced leather armor, and the iron armor that was vulnerable to the artillery, and couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"Tongxuan Daoist said that there is no difference, this thing is really ingenious, Your Majesty has this thing to help, and it will definitely cast my Tang Wanshi foundation."

This compliment is sincere, Chu Suiliang doesn't know the art of war or anything like that, but he can intuitively see that this thing is an incomparable weapon in the military array.

"Forever...... Hey, there's no such thing as an eternal dynasty. ”

Li Shimin laughed and said:

"I only wish that the younger generations would have less fratricide and more brothers, friends and brothers......"

The word silenced him for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"If Tang Xing can surpass Han Zuo for 500 years, it can be said that there are no regrets."

Chu Suiliang pondered for a while, and still wrote down everything he saw and heard in accordance with his duties.

And His Majesty's words suddenly reminded Chu Suiliang of Cao Pi.

This Emperor Wen of Wei once said: "From ancient times to the present, there is no immortal country."

This statement is somewhat similar to what His Majesty said, but when you think about it, it is very different.

Cao Pigong's poems and essays, like to talk without fear, this statement is suspected of losing his temperament.

His Majesty took the world on horseback, so that he could lead the army and sigh less, this sigh was full of worry, and he seemed to be worried about the future of Tang.

So Chu Suiliang could only persuade:

"The sages have clouds, the way comes from the sky, and the matter lies in the people, and now Your Majesty is diligent in trying to govern, and the people are not endowed and defeat two thieves in a row to solve the border troubles."

"I have a strong reputation and prestige, and His Majesty Siyi is the Heavenly Khan to see his prestige, if he can hold on to the right path, then the name of the Holy King can still be expected."

Li Shimin smiled happily, raised his horsewhip and pointed to the Xuanwu Gate in front of him:

"The person who kills his brother and forces his father can also be called a holy king?"

Chu Suiliang was suddenly stuck, his face was a little red, and he really didn't know how to take it down.

It is inevitable to complain in my heart: Why is Your Majesty inseparable from this Xuanwu Gate?

The two of them returned to the left and right, so there was no need to worry about shocking the world.

Li Shimin couldn't bear to be embarrassed Chu Suiliang, and rode a horse on the way back without stopping, and at the same time did not look back and said slowly:

"If Dengshan has a conscientious mind, don't say anything, and remember the Xuanwu Sect's killing of my brothers."

Chu Suiliang's hand shook suddenly, and the hard pen cut a ball of ink on the book in his hand, although he was in a hurry, he still held up his ears and tried not to miss a word:

"Dengshan should also accompany me, remember my Zhenguan merits, see the wonders of future generations, and make a record of it, so that future generations can see what is the upper limit of the emperor!"

If he didn't know the name of the future generations, he might cover up for himself than Zhou Gong killed Cai Jiyou's uncle and other things.

But now that I know that future generations will never sleep in Chang'an, and listen to the praise of future generations as an emperor through the ages, it will be difficult to mind the matter of Xuanwu Gate.

Chu Suiliang couldn't help but feel excited, and the confidence revealed in such words hit his heart, and he gradually understood why his father said that His Majesty had the heart of Chinese and the spirit of Han martial arts.

It's just that the upper limit of this emperor sounds so strange, and it doesn't seem like the Tang Dynasty.

Leisurely stepping through the Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin looked back and smiled:

"In another half a month, Dengshan will be able to visit the curtain with me and the minister."

"Aiqing has the ability to write shorthand, and when she comes over with a pen and paper, she will remember it straight."

Chu Suiliang was suddenly full of question marks.

Li Shimin smiled, since this Julang memorizes so quickly, it's a pity not to make the best use of it, after all, the light curtain can't be copied by Lao Fang Du and the two of them every time, right?

This is by no means a revenge for Chu Suiliang for disturbing his dreams, absolutely not.
