Chapter 846 This can be enough for them to study for ten years
Hearing this, Li Shimin turned his head to look at the band stage and nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Le Tai quickly saluted.
Although they dared to pull this artillery over, they had already guaranteed that there would be no problems with this artillery. However, now that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to test the artillery, they could not help but be extremely careful.
Li Shimin took Li Yuanjia and retreated to Li Xuan.
A Mohist disciple from the side quickly ran over, picked up a bomb, and handed it to the orchestra.
After Bandai carefully inspected the cannon again, he lit the fuse directly.
"Boom~"
There was a loud noise, and from the top of the mountain in the distance, snowflakes flew directly into the sky!
"Fortunately, the snow on the opposite mountain is half a man deep, otherwise it would be a burning mountain in winter!"
Holding up his clairvoyant eyes and looking at the dark bullet marks on the mountain in the distance, Li Xuan smacked his tongue slightly and said with some emotion.
However, none of Li Shimin, Li Yuanjia, and Li Wei on the side paid attention to Li Xuan's words.
Everyone was full of surprises.
"Xuanba, the hilltop where the artillery blasted this time should be two thousand steps away from the hilltop where we are!"
"It should be two thousand steps!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly.
"Hahaha, very good!"
Li Shimin's face was filled with joy, and the muscles on his face were beating with excitement.
Immediately, he put the clairvoyant in his arms and ran towards the artillery.
"Jiang Mohou, I observe that the firing process of this cannon is the same as the previous cannon?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Le Tai quickly replied.
"Very good!"
Li Shimin directly restored the artillery to its original position, and then began to inspect the artillery. After a while, he took the bomb from Li Wei's hand, stuffed it into the artillery, ignited it, and ran away.
"Boom~"
After a loud noise.
Li Shimin picked up his clairvoyance and looked for a long time, but he couldn't find the hilltop where the bomb he had set exploded. He couldn't help but look confused.
"Xuanba, can you find the exploded hilltop where I planted the bomb?"
"Your Majesty, no!"
Li Xuan held up his shiny clairvoyance that had been wrapped around him and replied with a serious look on his face.
"how so?"
Li Shimin asked.
"It should have exploded to the back of the mountain or down the valley!"
Li Xuan still raised his clairvoyance and looked around.
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but have a flash of worry in his eyes: "Why can the bombs I dropped before basically reach the same mountain top, but this time I only dropped one, and it was so different from the bomb dropped by Carpenter Mohou?"
As big?
Is there something wrong with this cannon?"
After hearing this, the bandmates and Li Yuanjia on the side couldn't help but look anxious.
"Your Majesty, the slightest difference is a thousand miles away. The bomb your Majesty dropped was two thousand steps away! At such a long distance, as long as the muzzle of the artillery is slightly higher, or the angle of the muzzle is slightly off, the bomb will explode.
There will be a huge deviation in the position.”
"Previously, when we were more than a thousand steps away, didn't the bombs placed by His Majesty, Duke Su and others also explode all over the mountain? Sometimes on the top of the mountain, sometimes halfway up the mountain?"
"I see!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded slightly, turned and walked towards the artillery.
Suddenly, remembering something, Li Shimin turned around again.
"Xuanba, if you place the artillery on the top of a mountain, it will be difficult to hit the target on the opposite side. Then if you install this artillery on a huge ship, the waves on the sea are undulating, and the enemy ships in the distance are as small as ants, how can you hit them?
middle?"
"So, the artillerymen on the ships need to practice more accuracy!"
Li Xuan smiled softly, "Besides, each large ship also needs to be equipped with more than ten artillery pieces."
"In this way, our Datang navy encounters an enemy at sea. There are dozens of giant ships and hundreds of artillery fire. As long as one bomb hits the enemy ship, it can be blown to pieces!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and his blood boiled with Li Xuan's words.
"A salvo of hundreds of artillery pieces?..."
"How wonderful! If our soldiers from the Tang Dynasty carry thousands of artillery pieces and bombard the enemy when they attack a city, even if the enemy has millions of troops, I, the King of the Tang Dynasty, can blow them to ashes!"
Li Xuan: "..."
War maniac?
He was clearly talking about a naval battle, but you thought of conquering cities and territories on land!
"Your Majesty, a bomb is extremely expensive to build, and so are bombs. Moreover, if you want to carry it, each bomb requires four soldiers and a carriage to transport it!
The money, manpower and material resources required to raise a thousand bombs are enough to raise tens of thousands of soldiers!"
"No problem!"
Li Shimin waved his hands excitedly, "Not to mention ten thousand people, even twenty thousand people, I am willing!"
After saying that, he ignored Li Xuan, ran to the cannon, took aim, and then lit the fuse.
"Boom~"
After the sound of the cannon, Li Shimin still found no trace of the bomb on the mountain.
A certain emperor refused to admit defeat!
"Boom~"
This time, I did find it, but I hit a nearby mountain.
"Boom~"
And invisible.
"boom……"
"boom……"
After seeing that only the last three bombs were left in the wooden box, Li Shimin finally stopped working.
"Jiang Mohou, why have I aimed so many times and still missed each time?"
"Your Majesty, when firing cannons, you need to look at the angle first, and secondly, you need to aim!"
Le Tai gave a bitter smile and said: "Your Majesty, when adjusting the muzzle of the artillery, you need to adjust it bit by bit!"
Li Shimin stared at the orchestra table closely, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The orchestra trembled, and his face was filled with fear.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I have been watching Your Majesty concentrating just now..."
"Just now, His Majesty's face became more and more gloomy as he fired off the bombs. Not to mention that the orchestra was so frightened by His Majesty that he did not dare to speak. Even Li Wei did not dare to remind His Majesty!"
On the side, Li Xuan spoke up to help Le Tai.
Li Shimin raised his head, looked around, and finally sighed helplessly, "Xuanba, you should remind me!"
"Your Majesty acted so skillfully at that time. He adjusted the cannon in a blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, the fuse was ignited and the bomb flew out. I didn't have time to remind Your Majesty!"
Li Xuan put his hands in each other's wide sleeves, folded them in his arms, and said with a sincere and helpless face.
Li Shimin smiled. He was afraid that Li Xuan would fight with him to fire off the cannon, so he moved a little faster.
"LeTai, come on, tell me, how should I adjust the angle this time?"
"Your Majesty, of the ten bombs, you have already placed six. It is my turn to leave these three!"
Before Bandai could speak, Li Xuan stood up directly, picked up a bomb and walked to Li Shimin.
"Xuanba, I haven't figured it out yet, if you continue..."
Li Shimin's face froze, he just grabbed the cannon with both hands and didn't want to let go, trying to cheat.
"Your Majesty, every time I have something new in the village, I will put it out for Your Majesty to play with, and even give it directly to Your Majesty. Moreover, judging from today's test of the artillery, this artillery can not only explode to a distance of two thousand steps.
On a cold winter day, it can fire ten bombs continuously. This artillery is complete.
When the Ordnance Supervisor manufactures this artillery, Your Majesty will have enough artillery in his hands, and he can use it as he wants. Wouldn't it be great..."
Hearing Li Xuan's words, Li Shimin was stunned and stared at Li Xuan for a long time before slowly withdrawing his hands.
He can still understand the meaning of a full meal and a full meal.
But, he was actually threatened by Li Xuan?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He walked aside and stared directly at Li Xuan.
"Your Majesty, artillery has been successfully invented. As long as you order the Ordnance Supervisor to step up the construction of artillery, Datang will be able to build at least a hundred artillery pieces in less than two months... Hey, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
Li Xuan felt something, turned around and was startled by Li Shimin's expression.
"I'm happy, I'm naturally happy..."
Li Shimin said very perfunctorily.
Hearing this, Li Xuan ignored it, but concentrated on adjusting the cannon, and the bandstand nearby gave instructions from time to time.
Li Shimin talked for a long time, but suddenly Li Xuanzheng and Le Tai were operating the artillery in full swing.
Then, I saw Li Xuan take out the fire stick and light the fuse.
Li Xuan, Letai and others ran away.
Li Shimin's eyes widened and he quickly followed Li Xuan and ran away.
"Boom~"
After a loud noise, Li Shimin raised his clairvoyance and looked into the distance.
"Um?"
After seeing the bomb explode clearly, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
"Xuanba, how could you explode so accurately?"
Less than ten steps away from where the first bomb exploded in Bandai, another blackened bullet point was blown up.
"Your Majesty, you can blow it up if you aim!"
Li Xuan glanced at Li Shimin in surprise and wrote lightly.
This made Li Shimin furious.
Afterwards, Li Xuan walked directly to the artillery.
Reset the gun, check, clean, adjust, load...
"Boom~"
Li Shimin's eyes widened again, and his aim was so accurate again.
Until Li Xuan fired the last bomb and everyone started to go down the mountain, Li Shimin still looked depressed.
However, after getting the drawings of the artillery, Li Shimin suddenly beamed with joy.
The next day.
The military supervisor Qu Hui brought several master craftsmen to Lijiazhuang and began to learn how to make artillery from Le Tai and other masters!
Li Xuan had already explained this to Letai and others.
Therefore, they all knew everything about the weapons supervisor Qu Hui and the several weapons supervisors. They taught them carefully for five days, and taught them the drawings, methods, and details of how to make artillery and bombs.
He explained everything clearly to the weapons supervisor and other master craftsmen, and also forged two artillery pieces in the Lijiazhuang Forge.
We carried it to the back mountain and tested it. One door was forged successfully and the other one exploded.
Ten days later.
Military Supervisor Qu Hui also started to leave with a group of master craftsmen.
In this way, the time has also entered the end of January.
After a heavy snowfall, the weather began to gradually warm up.
Lijiazhuang started construction to build a small courtyard for the Yang family, mother and daughter.
In Weinan County, a team of craftsmen formed spontaneously by Li Chengqian and Wang Xuance also borrowed 30,000 yuan from Chang'an Datang Bank to build and purchase land in Weinan County, planned the drawings, and began to prepare to build cement houses.
At the same time, in Chang'an City, several large vacant houses were demolished, and then there were construction workers coming in and out, preparing for the construction of cement houses.
When the nobles in Chang'an City reacted, they discovered that cement houses were being built in several surrounding counties of Chang'an.
Among them, most of them are the work of the Secretary for Housing and Urban-Rural Development.
On the road outside Chang'an City, there is a constant flow of carriages and horses, most of which are carriages transporting earthwork, stones, bricks and cement.
The old farmers who transported these building materials were all smiling.
As soon as the weather gets warmer this year, they can already start making money for their families, at least one month longer than before. The situation at home this year will definitely be much better than last year!
…
Lijiazhuang!
"See you, Your Majesty (Brother Wang)!"
After handing over the artillery that had been forged in the past two years to the Ordnance Supervisor, Le Tai, Li Yuanjia, and all the ink masters in the forge felt as if the most important thing in their hearts had been taken away.
After the spring plowing was completed, I didn’t know what to do all day long.
"What do you want?"
Seeing the expressions on Le Tai and Li Yuanjia's faces, Li Xuan said doubtfully.
"Your Majesty, the artillery that we have been forging for two years has been handed over to the weapons supervisor. There are so many craftsmen and ink masters in my forge, and it seems that there is nothing left to do for a moment!"
Le Tai said with a worried look on his face.
In Lijiazhuang, what they fear most is that they will become useless people.
"You are not feeling well with nothing to do. You have been busy for two years. You should take a good rest for a few days!" Li Xuan said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for being considerate of me. It's just that we are used to busy work. If we don't forge objects for a day, we will feel uncomfortable!"
Having said that, Bandai looked at Li Xuan expectantly.
"I wonder what other fantastic ideas your Majesty has? The villain and the others will definitely develop them for your Majesty!"
"I want thunder and lightning from the sky. Can you develop it for me?"
At this time, Li Xuan still didn't understand what Le Tai and Li Yuanjia were paying attention to, so he said angrily.
"Thunder and lightning in the sky?"
Bandai was startled and hurriedly glanced out the window with a frightened expression on his face.
"Your Majesty, be careful, the thunder and lightning in the sky are the things of the immortals and gods in the sky. How can we, mortals, control them?"
"Are there really immortals and gods in the sky?"
Li Xuan looked at the band stage with a half-smile and asked.
"Why does your Majesty ask such a question? Isn't Master Wang an old immortal?" Le Tai asked with a strange look on his face.
Forehead!
Li Xuan's face froze, and he quickly smiled and said, "I made a mistake!"
"So, then I want a carriage that can fly in the sky?"
Le Tai had a wry smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, how can a carriage fly in the sky? Please, Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me..."
"Then I want a carriage that can run on the road by itself without being pulled by horses!" Li Xuandao.
Bandai: "..."
"Isn't this okay?"
Li Xuan subconsciously opened his eyes and looked at the band stage.
Bandai had a wry smile on his face, "Your Majesty, if there are no horses pulling it in front, how can the carriage run on the road by itself?"
"Then without oars, how can a steel ship drive through the water on its own? It's still very fast?"
Li Xuan glanced at the band stage and said leisurely.
"this……"
Le Tai immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Xuan with excitement on his face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your teaching!"
"snort!"
Li Xuan glared angrily, "You are also Mo Hou, the great master of the Tang Dynasty. Why can't you draw inferences about other cases?"
"Moreover, the artillery is dedicated to Your Majesty, but what about the musket? Are you satisfied with the slow firing speed of the musket?"
"Also, the Tang Dynasty is based on agriculture. Can't you, even the rulers of Mohism, think of more ways to develop several more farming artifacts to increase the speed of farming for the people of the Tang Dynasty?"
"in addition……"
What Le Tai and Li Yuanjia didn't expect was that they originally just wanted to come to King Jin, hoping to get some advice so that they could have something to do.
However, the two of them did not expect that King Jin directly dealt with them for half an hour.
When the two of them walked out of the gate of the other courtyard, their heads were still feeling swollen!
However, Le Tai and Li Yuanjia's eyes became brighter and brighter, and their expressions were excited.
The king immediately told them about such a magical thing, and their forge can study it for another ten years without having to worry!
