Chapter 213 Black Powder (Thanks for the monthly ticket that saves tears~)
The Li family has no condition to go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing at Shilipo to see how Emperor Wu inspects the soldiers, but the Li family goes No, it doesn’t mean others can’t go.
For example, Xing Yu’s family can go.
Xing Yu has now come out of the shocked panic. He hugged his youngest son, raised his head and said to Xing Dalang: "Just stay with me and your mother-in-law. You can’t leave. There are too many people here today. If we get separated, we really won’t be able to find them.” "Come and hug my brother, he is really careless now."
Xing Yu handed his youngest son to his eldest son, and then said to the Wuwei beside him: "Hurry up, let's buy some food and rush out of the city. I think we can catch up."
We can wait for Xing Yu's death. When ordinary people like Yu who had a small fortune rushed to the edge of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, Emperor Wu had already watched the soldiers perform martial arts in formation.
Not only that, he also gave a speech.
The general idea is, "I can be what I am today, the Tang Dynasty can be what it is today, and the people can live a stable life, all because of the soldiers. Only with you can the Tang Dynasty be what it is today! You are all the Tang Dynasty A hero!"
These words made the soldiers' blood boil, and they wanted to throw their heads and blood for Emperor Wu with their spears and swords.
After the soldiers performed martial arts together, war equipment was displayed.
In addition to the conventional siege equipment trebuchet, crash cart, building cart, and eight-oxen crossbow, there was also a gift from Du Qinghui, a newly made weapon that was placed at the end.
This kind of weapon, which is extremely destructive and should not have appeared at this time, can be said to be an epoch-making thing. Before being transported to Chang'an, it was natural that the Emperor Wu and the Ministry of War had to get through it from beginning to end. .
This kind of weapon was also the main reason why civil servants had to agree to Emperor Wu's request to review the soldiers.
Civil officials are forced by the "threat" of force, but at the same time, this internal civil-military dispute is our own problem behind closed doors, but if we open the door, it will be our joint help.
An epoch-making weapon, it is very meaningful to deter those small countries and tribes on the border far away from Chang'an who are not satisfied with the status quo and always secretly want to cause trouble.
The most brilliant thing about a doctor is to treat the disease before it's too late.
In a corner of the school grounds, in the tent specially built for Emperor Wu, in addition to Emperor Wu sitting in the middle, the one sitting on her lower right is the Prime Minister, and the one sitting further down is Princess Taiping.
On the left are the three prime ministers headed by Lou Shide. There are many officials sitting in order according to their official ranks.
Also in line behind this are the small countries and tribes who followed behind and brought their king's credentials and their best products to the Tang Dynasty as gifts.
A young general stood up at this time and came to the middle. He first gave a military salute to Emperor Wu and then said loudly: "Today is the birthday of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty. On behalf of our General Du, I would like to send a congratulatory gift to the saint. May May the saint live forever, and may the Tang Dynasty prosper! "
After that, the man bowed and left the central position, came to the side and waved and nodded to the small soldiers.
Then the soldier ran away.
Then, the sound of war drums sounded soon after. At this time, Emperor Wu and the others were invited out of the school grounds. When they came to the northwest, they saw the newly built high platform.
Everyone waited for a while, but there was nothing beautiful to see except for a few hills not too far away.
Suddenly, a loud "bang" sound from a distance exploded in everyone's ears, accompanied by a strong earthquake and shaking sensation.
For a while, many people thought that this was the earth dragon turning over. At this time, King Xiang grabbed the hand of Princess Taiping beside him and looked anxiously towards Emperor Wu.
The ministers in the front, who were wearing red round-neck robes, were quite calm. Of course, the reason for their calmness was that they had been notified earlier that this would have such an effect.
After the ministers in crimson robes sitting at the back were flustered for a moment, they saw that the big guys in front of them were not afraid at all and were not nervous at all. Their minds were spinning fast, so they naturally understood. , which is man-made.
Okay, now that I know it is man-made, it is intentional and generally controllable, so I feel relieved.
When King Xiang dragged Princess Taiping to Emperor Wu's side, he saw that Emperor Wu had a normal face and showed no sign of being scared at all. Emperor Wu patted the Prime Minister on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, my son, it's not an earth dragon turning over, it's a birthday gift for me."
Those who don't know what's going on. Among people, the bold ones are relatively calm. Seeing that none of the big shots moved, and the Jinwu Guards standing nearby were fine, they thought about it. Is this intentional?
I am afraid this was arranged in advance.
For those who are bold, there will naturally be timid people. For example, the envoy from Annan was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
After a while, when everyone had calmed down, someone discovered that the mountains that were not too far away seemed to be missing out of thin air!
“Is this a miracle?”
When someone looked in the direction the man was pointing, others discovered that the top of the mountain had been flattened!
It seemed like a giant took a long sword and flattened a mountain with just one sword effort!
After the whole audience was shocked for a moment, shouts of fear, joy and loudness suddenly came out from people's mouths at the same time.
"Is this really a miracle?"
"Ah! What kind of miracle? This is General Du's birthday gift to the saint!"
"Haha, haha, okay, okay, let's get together Tang has such a sharp weapon, what else should he be afraid of!”
“Aha, was this the reason why the Earth Dragon turned around just now?”
The Emperor Wu saw the black powder explosion. After seeing the effect, and having a plan in mind, I didn't want to stay here and listen to other people's chattering discussions, so I got up and walked to the camp.
However, the young general who came to offer Du Qinghui's birthday gift came back at this time, performed a military salute to Emperor Wu, and after obtaining Emperor Wu's permission, he said: "This is General Du's birthday gift to the saint. It is called black gunpowder. It's so powerful that it's easy to blow up a small hill. If the saint wants to see it, I can blow it up again to show him the power."
"Okay, General Du is interested. Yes. This thing is good. There’s no need to do it again. Let’s talk about it later.”
And it’s three hundred feet away from the school grounds. The common people who followed after being separated by the Jinwu Guards learned from the Jinwu Guards who passed the news that the posture of the earth dragon turning over just now was actually not the earth dragon turning over, but a birthday gift sent by General Du Qinghui to the saint, a new kind of weapons of war.
Old man Zhou in the corner brushed his chest and said to his elder man: "My dear, you didn't scare me to death. I thought it was an earth dragon turning over. It turned out to be a birthday gift. This is amazing. It’s really amazing. This trip is not in vain.”
Zhou Dalang was also a little frightened, but he agreed with Mr. Zhou's words in his heart, "This trip is indeed not in vain."
Although it can't be seen so clearly here, the loud noise and the vibration from the ground are You can't fool anyone.
The people here talked loudly to their companions to vent the fear in their hearts when they were frightened just now. They also felt that it was right to come here earlier, and this trip was indeed not in vain. , and when I got home, I also talked about it when chatting with others.
Xing Yu’s family’s carriage was lined up further forward than Zhou’s family’s. After all, he was indeed rich.
At first Xing Yu thought it was an earthquake, but when he saw that the Jinwu guards in front who were maintaining order were not panicked at all, he knew that was not the case.
With his excellent eyesight, Xing Yu could clearly see the hilltop in the distance that was completely different from the two mountains on the side. It was artificially flattened by bombing.
At that time, Xing Yu felt nervous.
When someone from Jinwu Guard came over to explain to the people, Xing Yu didn’t know whether he was excited or scared.
With black powder, the era of thermal weapons began.
Datang is heading to a higher peak.
