Chapter 323 Xi Junmai was surprised
"Where are you going, why are you so close to me?" Holding Li Chengqian's head and pushing him aside, Li Er regrouped: "Li Dejian, I have handed over the affairs of your Tubo people to you. How to deal with it is your business, and I will not interfere. But remember for me, if one day these Tubo people cause trouble, you will be the one who will take the blame."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, if the Tubo people dare to cause trouble, I will not let them go first."
Li Hao was not as arrogant as before Songtsen Gampo at this time. Even Li Er couldn't stand it anymore and waved his hand: "Okay, let's just do this for the time being. Tell me what kind of cannon you have. Zhixuan has come to me many times and said that he was almost bombarded by you and asked for compensation. What do you think about this matter?"
Li Hao scratched the back of his head, looking confused.
Lin Zhixuan also traveled through time? Even if he traveled through time, I never bombarded him with gunfire.
After trying hard to recall for a long time, he shook his head: "Your Majesty, who is Zhixuan?"
"Duan Zhixuan!" Li Er paused word by word and spit out a name.
"Oh, General Duan, I think about it, I think about it, look at my brain." Li Hao suddenly realized: "But, all his Zuo Xiao cavalry guards were cavalrymen who wanted artillery? That thing was heavy. Before there was no cannon steel with excellent ductility, cast iron cannons were often hundreds or thousands of pounds, and even if I gave it to him, he couldn't take it away."
A weapon worth tens of thousands of pounds? Isn’t it a joke?
Li Er couldn't understand it and waved his hand: "Wait..., what exactly is the cannon you are talking about?"
"Father, this son knows." Li Chengqian raised his hand and replied: "The cannon is actually a big iron pipe. It seals one end and stuffs gunpowder and iron bullets into it. After igniting, it "boomed" and the iron bullets flew out, and those who blocked within a thousand steps were invincible."
To popularize science, "step" is actually a word pictographic, which consists of two "steps" above and below, meaning to lift the feet twice. In other words, the distance of one step is to take the left foot and then take the right foot after taking the left foot. Adding the distances of the two times together is a step. As for once, it is called "marry".
In ancient times, one step in the Zhou Dynasty was about eight feet in modern times. By the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng changed it to six feet. By the Tang Dynasty, Li Er changed it to five feet.
Ten feet and ten feet, one zhang, three meters, to count, one step in the Tang Dynasty was about 1.5 meters (hey, according to the theory that the longer the legs, the bigger the steps, it seems that something extraordinary was discovered), and a thousand steps was 1.5 kilometers in modern times...
Li Er was startled and said seriously: "Qianbu... Prince, do you dare to be responsible for your own words?"
"What's there to be afraid of? This is what I saw with my own eyes." After looking at Li Hao, Li Chengqian patted his chest and said, "And Dejian said that when a larger cannon is made in the future, he can shoot thousands or tens of thousands of steps."
‘Gudu’, Li Er swallowed with difficulty. Thousands of steps were already a terrible distance, tens of thousands of steps...
"Dejian, what the prince said is true?" Li Er said anxiously.
"Your Majesty, everything the prince said is true, but..."
Before Li Hao finished speaking, Li Er's eyes turned red and he interrupted, "What's the point? Take me to see quickly."
During this period, I always heard Duan Zhixuan nagging about artillery and other things in his ears, but I didn't take it seriously. I thought that it must be Duan Zhixuan's favorite new things that Li Hao had made.
Unexpectedly, artillery was such a powerful thing.
Those who block within a thousand steps are invincible. Well, let alone a thousand steps. If I can reach five hundred steps, why should I be afraid of the grassland cavalry? Put a row in front of the military formation and bang it to death.
Since Li Jing woke up in the morning, he felt his right eyelid twitching constantly. By noon, not only his right eyelid was twitching, but even his left eye jumped together.
Li Jing was already very experienced in this regard and ordered people to bring his clothes and armor, and after putting them on, he sat in the Ministry of War to wait.
At noon, when he saw the familiar faces in the palace appear in front of him, Li Jing, who had already prepared, said intimately, finally came, and stood up to meet him: "Dad father-in-law, but your majesty has summoned me?"
The eunuch who came to summon him was stunned. He had already been to the Secretariat and the Secretariat before. Whether it was Changsun Wuji or Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui's reaction was very hasty. Only this one seemed to have expected that he would come, and he was ready to set off early.
He immediately figured it out. After all, the person in front of him had an extraordinary identity, so it was normal to know some news in advance. He smiled: "Duke Wei, Your Majesty has summoned you to visit the former Chang'an Navy Station."
Li Jing nodded calmly and said that he knew. He paused and suddenly asked, "Don't ask, my father-in-law, is that my rebellious son with His Majesty?"
"Yes, Shidu Li and His Highness Li have accompanied His Majesty first."
Well, it's true, the root cause of the disease lies in this stinky brat.
When Li Jing heard the eunuch's affirmative reply, he immediately stopped jumping.
The former Chang'an Navy's Territory is the current Ocean Navy's Territory.
Two huge docks stood beside the dock, and countless craftsmen crawled around on two large ships in the dock like ants. Shocking sounds came, vaguely mixed with some exotic dialects.
Inside the station, there were three and two cold and deserted kittens.
Except for some sentries who were on duty and standing guard, there was no sound at all.
Xi Junmai stood in front of the Navy Camp, carrying an iron spear on his back, and looked inside from time to time under the gaze of the two sentries at the door.
Yesterday he thought about it carefully for a night and felt that although the Ling Mansion was disbanded, the original team was still there, and the commander was still the original commander. At most, he just changed his name. It seemed a pity not to come and take a look.
So I quit my job at the construction site this morning and didn’t have the nerve to eat breakfast. I got here after inquiring all the way.
But he never expected that when he arrived at the Ocean Navy headquarters, he found that there were no navy here, it was clearly a shipyard.
Inside and out, there were shipwrecks coming in and out. None of the other naval officers and soldiers had seen half of them except for the two guard posts at the door.
The feeling of being deceived made Xi Junmai a little annoyed. He thought to himself why he believed the young evil spirit and ran here to try his luck. If he had known this was a shipbuilding place, it would be better to stay on the construction site to build a roadbed, at least that place would be able to have enough food.
Just as he was about to leave, a Shandong voice suddenly came from behind: "Hey, who is that? Why are you here at our Ocean Navy Station?"
Turning around, I found a strong man walked out of the camp behind me, dressed in a neat and looked serious.
"It's okay, I'm just here to take a look." Xi Junmai, who was consciously fooled, said angrily.
"Look, come to the navy's headquarters to take a look. I think I'm afraid it's not a detailed work, right?"
The work is a spy or spy. Xi Junmai has been wandering around the navy's garrison since early in the morning, and it is not surprising that people are suspected.
"Hmph, just an empty camp can't even enter the eyes of a certain family."
"Then why are you here? If you can't explain it clearly today, don't leave." With a wave of your hand, a team of soldiers immediately rushed out of a barracks in the camp gate and surrounded Xi Junmai.
Wang Wendu had long noticed Xi Junmai who was wandering around at the gate of the camp. If he were placed in Dengzhou, he would not care at all. The upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. With an instigator like Wang Yuanliang, the Dengzhou navy had no secrets at all and he didn't even bother to investigate the details.
But this place is different from Dengzhou. The Ocean Navy has a confidentiality system and training system that is different from all other armies. There are countless secrets in the battalion. In addition, the direct responsibility for His Majesty the Emperor made Wang Wendu very alert.
Xi Junmai was a little surprised. According to his observation, this camp should be an empty camp, so how could there be someone else there?
After glanced at the soldiers surrounding him, Xi Junmai smiled coldly: "Why, I still want to force Xi to stay? Well, my Xi Junmai is just about to see the power of the Ocean Navy."
Wang Wendu was stunned: "Will Xi Jun buy it?"
"Have you heard of me?" Xi Junmai was also stunned. Although he had a high opinion of himself, he did not think that his reputation would be well-known.
Wang Wendu smiled and shook his head, and waved to the soldiers who were still surrounded by Xi Junmai: "You have all your own people."
His own people? Xi Junmai was confused, but he heard the military man who stopped him say, "Yesterday the governor sent someone back to pass the order, saying that a hero named Xi Junmai would come to join the army today and ask Wang to treat him well. I don't think it was you. I was so rude just now, so please forgive me."
Xi Junmai is just a soft-hearted person who is not hard-working. Wang Wendu apologized and suddenly felt embarrassed: "Uh..., Xi had something wrong just now, Brother Wang, please forgive me."
When Wang Wendu heard this, he laughed: "Haha..., what's wrong with forgiveness? From now on, everyone will be their own people and they will eat in the same pot, and they will be far away."
Xi Junmai blinked his eyes, unable to stand Wang Wendu's enthusiasm, and was about to explain that he had been pulled into the camp by Wang Wendu.
There is no way, since you come, you can rest assured. I want to be a bachelor, so I should not have any plans for myself. After I figured it out, Xi Junbu became much more casual and asked Wang Wendu: "Brother Wang, you just said about the governor, but Li Dejian and Li?"
"What's the matter with Brother Wang? My name is Wang Wendu. From now on, Lao Xi will just call me my name." Wang Wendu first introduced himself and then said: "Our Ocean Navy Governor is indeed Governor Li Dejian and Li. Don't think that our governor is not old, but this is the case in military management." As he said that, he stretched out his thumb and compared it.
"Is that right?" Xi Junmai smiled unanimously. Compared to other people's introductions, he believed in his eyes and glanced at the empty camp: "Wang...well, Brother Wendu, I found that there seems to be not many people in our station."
Thinking of the person who came yesterday that Li Hao was determined to win Xi Jun's purchase, Wang Wendu smiled and did not hide it from him: "Of course no one, all the brothers in the camp went to Baekje to carry out missions, and all the old and weak left behind were old and weak."
"Old and weak?" Xi Junmai twitched: "Those people were all old and weak just now? Brother Wendu, don't lie to me."
"What are you doing? Our Ocean Navy is directly responsible to Your Majesty. We are strict in the selection of soldiers. We don't want any warriors under the age of twenty or over forty. The people you just saw are all 42 or 3, and their physical strength is already declining, so we can only stay to guard the camp."
Is it so exaggerated? If you are over forty years old, don’t want it?
You know, there are many people in other troops who are still in the war team when they are 60 years old.
Xi Junmai felt very excited and vaguely thanked that he did not leave too early.
You know, Wang Wendu just said that the Ocean Navy was directly responsible to His Majesty, implying that this team had the identity of the Emperor's personal army.
This is just tailor-made for Xi Junmai, who wants to do the best.
Just as he was about to learn more about the ocean navy, he saw a cavalry rushing in the distance and shouting loudly in front of the camp: "Where is the ocean navy Wang Wendu!"
After handing Xi Junmai a look later, Wang Wendu strode towards the camp gate and replied, "Wang Wendu is here."
"Wang Wendu, Your Majesty has an order to quickly reorganize the army to welcome the army." The visitor did not even enter the camp. After checking the token with Wang Wendu, he explained a few words and turned around and left.
Xi Junmai was stunned at that time. Welcome the car? What kind of car is welcome? Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor is coming?
Damn, that's the emperor. I'm afraid I'll never see him in the idle army for the rest of my life.
And in the Ocean Navy, I came here by chance and encountered such a big situation.
Seeing Wang Wendu, who had gathered a team of 300 people in less than a hundred breaths, Xi Junmai had no time to consider the quality of the team, so he stepped forward quickly: "Brother Wendu, since Your Majesty is coming, Mr. Junmai will say goodbye."
"Oh, what are you going?" Wang Wendu grabbed him, turned to a military poster beside him and said, "Well, go and get a set of armor immediately. Please buy it. I guess you will be our Ocean Navy in the future, so don't leave this time, change your clothes and welcome you with your brother. It's a rare opportunity. If you miss it, you won't know when it will be next time."
"This..." Xi Junmai was a little hesitant. He naturally knew that the opportunity was rare, but he also knew that he was an outsider. Wang Wendu kept him this time, but he had a huge responsibility.
"What this guy, don't be so stubborn, go change your clothes quickly, and follow me later, do whatever I do. Don't worry, this time the governor is with you, and there will be no accidents in the custody."
Speaking of this, what else could Xi Junmai say, slapped his chest and promised: "Thank you so much, Brother Wang, don't worry, Junmai will never cause any trouble to the Ocean Navy."
"Go quickly." Wang Wendu waved his hand, turned around and continued to arrange his soldiers to go, pushing Xi Junmai to the barracks not far away.
At this time, waves of dust could be seen in the distance. The cavalry team of hundreds of people had been not far from the Ocean Navy Camp. Wang Wendu did not dare to neglect it. He explained here and immediately arranged for people to stop work on the dock. All the craftsmen were driven away from the scene.
Chapter completed!
