Liu Zhen curled his lips secretly and asked tentatively: "Does the foster father want to summon the old eunuch for questioning? It's just that he is not in Mo Nai. He is following Chen Guogong and Wu Zisheng to clear the way ahead and arrange a residence for His Highness."
Li Dingguo shook his head and said: "Zhao Guowei is an official in the palace, how can I easily summon him for questioning? By the way, have you ever seen a divine weapon given by God?"
"His Royal Highness Min only took out a map of Yunnan Province, which was very detailed with towns, roads, mountains and rivers. The child only glanced at it briefly and felt that it was not ordinary. I heard that that alien princess was given by His Highness.
He has a magical weapon, but he doesn't show it to anyone easily. Only the old eunuch has seen it." Liu Zhen answered truthfully.
"How can a woman be lightly rewarded with a divine weapon? Really, really - hum!" Li Dingguo was a little angry, and at the same time said that he had already believed those rumors. Otherwise, there would be no explanation for the transformation of His Highness Min, as if he had been reborn.
.
Liu Zhen did not dare to comment casually. He smiled bitterly but said nothing.
Li Dingguo shook his head, shook off this matter, and fell into thinking. If His Highness Min can really reverse the crisis and survive, what can he do if he just listens to his orders for the time being? But this Huang Cheng cannot be handed over easily. If His Highness Min can
Even if you give random orders, you can still rely on someone to fight against them.
As for why the Lord sent the clan to stay behind, Li Dingguo also had his own speculation. Both Yongli and the prince fled to Burma, which was a heavy blow to the morale of the people. With the clan surnamed Zhu as the banner, there was finally an explanation. Secondly,
Prince Min is a collateral clan member, so even if he is known as a stayer, he is the least threatening compared to King Lu who is competing for the throne and is a close clan member.
I'm afraid this is also a kind of check and balance. Li Dingguo felt uncomfortable when he thought about this possibility. He asked himself that he was loyal to Yongli and had no ambition to be Cao Cao. However, the emperor and ministers in Myanmar may be worried about this.
?
That's it! Li Dingguo secretly sighed, in this case, as long as His Highness Min is not going too far, he would give in to relieve the suspicion of the emperor and his ministers, what's the harm?
……………
After the rain, the leaves are greener than usual, and the leaves with raindrops sway in the wind, scattering water droplets on the ground.
Didn't expect the negotiation to go so smoothly? At this time, Zhu Yongxing's mood was as cheerful and comfortable as the clear sky.
In just one morning, everything was agreed upon and completed, and King Li Jin really did not disappoint him. Of course, Zhu Yongxing did not have particularly excessive demands, and even created a staff headquarters for this purpose to unify the actions of the various armies in this name.
Instead of acting as the leader and giving orders all by yourself.
Another small surprise was that Li Dingguo actually asked his eldest son Li Sixing to follow him, but Zhu Yongxing was only slightly shocked and did not take this matter to heart. On the contrary, he felt that it was beneficial to him. I have deep-rooted thoughts and my son is still young.
This mentality should be changeable, right?
Feeling comfortable, Zhu Yongxing looked even more energetic. He stood on the hillside and explained to Li Dingguo and others the advantages and disadvantages of the sky-blasting cannon, as well as the precautions when using it.
"This sky-blasting cannon is easy to carry and powerful, but its range is short. It is not advantageous in artillery battles with the enemy, and it needs to be protected by the army." Zhu Yongxing pointed to the artillerymen busy preparing below and said: "During the Tengchong battle,
The preparations have been hasty, and the sky-blasting cannon is more suitable for attacking fortified areas and deterring the enemy. Now it has been improved, and there are artillery shells for dealing with enemy group charges, and it has good lethality."
Li Dingguo smiled and nodded, feeling that his compromise and tolerance were worth it. His Highness Min did not hide his secrets, but awarded his army the key weapon for Tengchong's victory.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty, Generals, the artillery has been prepared. Please give the order to fire." Qian Bangchen, the captain of the artillery, ran up, bowed politely, and reported loudly.
Zhu Yongxing nodded, turned his gaze to Li Dingguo, and asked politely.
"I don't understand. It's better for His Highness to give the order." Li Dingguo shook his head gently and declined with a smile.
"Then I'm welcome." Zhu Yongxing smiled slightly and said to Qian Bangchen: "First, let's fire two siege shells. The target is the mud house."
"As ordered." Qian Bangchen saluted uprightly, pulled out two small flags from his waist, and waved the flags down the mountain.
After a moment, go, go, there were two muffled sounds, and the cannonball flew into the air and flew towards the target. Then it bounced on the ground and exploded with a bang.
The loud noise surprised Li Dingguo. His ears were buzzing, and smoke and dust were billowing from the explosion site, so he couldn't see clearly the effect.
When the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, Li Dingguo and others opened their eyes in surprise. The earthen house was in ruins, and plumes of smoke were still rising from the large crater at the explosion point.
"It's really amazing." Li Dingguo couldn't help but clicked his tongue in admiration, "It's so sharp. No wonder he was able to defeat three villages in one day in Tengchong and defeat the Qing army. If this is the first time to encounter such a bombardment, even a strong army will not be able to guarantee that its morale will be shaken and its morale will be affected.
Create.”
"The King of Jin hit the mark." Zhu Yongxing said, pretending to be reserved: "The Qing army has indeed never seen such a bombardment. Rather than being defeated, it is better to say that it was frightened."
"Your Highness is being humble." Li Dingguo smiled and shook his head, "I have also learned about the Battle of Tengchong. At that time, due to His Highness's clever planning, the Qing army was extremely exhausted and their defeat was certain. But with this cannon,
It just saves more effort."
Haha, Zhu Yongxing smiled slightly, feeling even more proud after being praised by such a famous general. He turned to Qian Bangchen and gave another order, and then pointed to Li Dingguo and others, "The target of this bombardment is those grass targets. Look.
Let’s see what effect the scatter bombs have.”
With the experience from the last time, Li Dingguo and others gathered their minds and prepared to accept the torture of the second loud explosion.
Pass, pass, there were two muffled sounds in succession. Two large cannonballs flew out of the muzzle and suddenly scattered into multiple small shells in the air, hitting the densely erected grass targets one after another. The explosions sounded, one after another.
, but much smaller than before. But the effect is still vaguely visible. Grass, wood chips, and soil are flying around. When the smoke and dust dissipate, the dense grass targets are like scabies, with clearings appearing one after another.
"If there are twenty sky-blasting cannons, and one big cannon shell can be scattered into ten small cannonballs, that's two hundred. Even if each one only kills and injures one enemy, it can make two hundred enemy soldiers lose their combat effectiveness.
"Zhu Yongxing used the simplest arithmetic to describe the power of the sky-blasting cannon. This obviously left some room for it and was a kind of humility.
"It can't be only two hundred. If the enemy is charging, it will kill at least four to five hundred enemy troops." Li Dingguo narrowed his eyes slightly and said thoughtfully: "It's also good for defending the city. This should be able to hit
