Datang Nongwang

Chapter 696 Forced to Offer Gunpowder

Li Chongyuan also forgot about it.

When he was fighting with Sadobi, Li Chongyuan really didn't think about it.

and.

Li Chongyuan did not expect that after Li Shimin rejected his request, he would still send Wang Li to watch the battle.

Therefore, this is the current scene.

Li Chongyuan regretted it.

I really regret going to Li Shimin to ask him to fight Sadobi.

If you sneak by yourself, or find a few people you trust as witnesses, you can probably suppress the matter of owning the gun to the minimum.

But now, all this is impossible.

now.

Li Chongyuan was thinking of a way to remedy it.

Thinking about what method to use to fool Li Shimin in front of him, so as to keep the secret of his gunpowder and gunpowder.

after all.

This stuff is no ordinary thing.

If the magic box of gunpowder is really opened, it will enter the era of hot weapons.

'What method can be used to keep the secret of gunpowder?Just make up a reason?No no no.There are firecrackers, Li Shimin definitely wants to see them.Is it really necessary to dedicate the secret recipe of gunpowder to Li Shimin?This is my life-saving means.If I don't have this thing, if I inadvertently commit a major crime in the future, then this head will really be gone. '

Don't tell me, Li Shimin will definitely ask.If you really don't tell me, Li Shimin might beat me up and find someone to watch me, and maybe he would take advantage of Sado's affairs to remove my official position and title.What's more, Li Shimin will settle accounts after autumn, and settle the general account of the Qi family with me, and other accounts with me. '

'It's over, it's over.It seems that the secret of gunpowder is really going to be lost.No, even if I can't keep it, I can't tell you the best gunpowder formula.Even if you really want to tell the gunpowder formula, you have to exchange some benefits for yourself.Moreover, this benefit must at least be life-saving.No matter how you say it, you have to get a gold medal to avoid death. '

Li Chongyuan quickly thought about all the benefits in his mind.

Such as titles.

after all.

Because of the matter of the Qi family, after his former title of county king was revoked, he became the county prince and was directly demoted two levels.

Because of this matter, the old lady sighed for several days.

If he could return a county king in exchange for offering gunpowder to Li Shimin, Li Chongyuan can be sure that the old lady will be very happy.

As for office.

Li Chongyuan didn't think much about it.

I am now a secretary in Suzhou and joined the army, belonging to an official position under the fifth rank.

and.

Not to mention the high rank of this official position, there is not much to do.

It can be said that there is less work, more money and high grade. Where can I find such an official position.

Therefore, Li Chongyuan didn't think about official positions at all, and he didn't want to be a high-ranking official anyway.

After all, once the official position is high, there will be more things like this.

Again.

No matter how high the official position is, it is the post of governor.

Of course, in addition to the governor, there are six Shaoqing, waiter, waiter, etc.

But these official positions belong to Beijing officials.

Even if Li Shimin granted Li Chongyuan an official position because of Li Chongyuan's offering of gunpowder, Li Chongyuan didn't want it.

One shipyard is in Xixiang, and the other is in Xisha Island.

Li Chongyuan's main business is shipbuilding at present, and he will go to the other side of the ocean in the future, but he has no time to be a high-level official in Chang'an City.

Li Chongyuan was thinking about it.

But Li Shimin kept looking at Li Chongyuan, looked around again, and suddenly said: "I heard that you were injured after trying with Na Sadobi, is the injury serious? Do you need to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?"

"Thank you, Majesty, for your concern. I have been seen by Imperial Physician Zhang just now. There is nothing serious about it. You just need to take care of it for a few days before it will fully recover." Li Chongyuan responded quickly.

After responding, Li Chongyuan hurriedly asked Li Shimin to sit down.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Chongyuan, pointed to a chair not far away, "Sit down and talk. You are injured, and it's not convenient to stand up and talk."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Chongyuan said as he said.

Wang Li moved a chair in front of Li Shimin and let Li Chongyuan sit down.

After Li Chongyuan stepped down, he waited for Li Shimin to make a question.

Quiet.

Li Shimin stared at Li Chongyuan, and Li Chongyuan also looked at Li Shimin.

Those with big eyes and small eyes, no one said a word, they all seemed to be planning something, or to put it another way, they all seemed to be looking for the right time to speak.

If Li Shimin didn't speak, Li Chongyuan wouldn't speak either.

He is the emperor, Li Chongyuan is just a courtier.

Even if Li Chongyuan is a relative of the Li family, if you want to call Li Shimin a cousin, there is a difference between seniority and inferiority, and the order of seniority.

Therefore, Li Chongyuan could only wait for Li Shimin to open his mouth.

After half a day.

Li Shimin finally couldn't help it anymore, "I heard from Wang Li that you can fight with Sado for dozens of rounds, which is beyond my expectation. Chongyuan, who are you fighting with?" Learned martial arts? Wouldn't it be Jin Yong who taught you?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, Jin's servant didn't teach me, but it was Tang Li and Liu Xiang, the two apprentices of Jin's servant, that is, those two who taught me just now, so I can compete with Nasa more Ten rounds. However, if Sado fights with me for more than ten rounds, I will lose." Li Chongyuan answered truthfully.

Jin Yong is Jin's servant.

And the martial arts that Li Chongyuan learned, such as how to use the horse lance, and body skills, were indeed taught by Tang Li and Liu Xiang.

As for Chen Huan, Li Chongyuan didn't say anything.

and.

Chen Juan once told Li Chongyuan not to mention their affairs and their names to Li Shimin.

As for why.

Li Chongyuan asked, but Chen Juan didn't elaborate, even if Li Chongyuan asked a few more questions, Chen Juan and Chen Huan stopped talking.

to this end.

Li Chongyuan never mentioned Chen Juan and the others to Li Shimin and others.

Even if it was about the Qi family, Li Chongyuan didn't dare to reveal a word about Chen Juan and the others.

Besides.

Chen Juan and the others are Li Chongyuan's aunts, no matter what Li Chongyuan said, he would never betray his elders.

Even though this aunt has yet to be verified, Li Chongyuan has truly regarded Chen Juan as his own aunt right now.

If it wasn't for his own aunt, who would treat Li Chongyuan so well?

It would be impossible to sell out my aunt for an official position and two ranks of titles.

Li Chongyuan is not such a person.

Li Shimin nodded lightly and said: "I haven't practiced boxing and foot martial arts since I was young, so my strength is naturally weak, and I can practice more powerfully in the future. If I really go to the battlefield, there will be no one to protect me." Stop you."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely strengthen my strength training in the future." Li Chongyuan nodded in response.

Li Chongyuan has long planned for martial arts training.

But as he got older, Li Chongyuan also knew that it was too late to practice martial arts and strength now.

But no matter how late, Li Chongyuan also thought about the addiction of a master.

Li Shimin seemed to be looking for something to say at the moment.

Li Chongyuan believed that at this moment Li Shimin probably wanted himself to take the initiative, or even wanted him to offer something that could kill that Sado.

but.

Li Chongyuan was not that active, and Li Chongyuan was still thinking about what method he could use to keep his gunpowder and gunpowder.

Li Shimin couldn't wait any longer.

Started to get to the point, "I heard that you used a very powerful weapon when you fought Na Sadobi. Can you show me?"

wipe.

Li Chongyuan was still thinking about how long he could stay there.

But in a blink of an eye, Li Shimin began to ask questions, and pointed at his firecracker.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to show you. It's because that thing is basically broken after one use. Even if I want to show you, I have nothing to look at." Li Chongyuan really couldn't find an excuse, so he could only use Such an excuse to keep a secret.

Li Shimin frowned after listening, his face was very unhappy.

Li Chongyuan saw the change of Li Shimin's face, and his heart was pounding.

The excuse I made up probably made Li Shimin unhappy.

But at this time, Wang Li helped Li Shimin to speak, "Mr. Li, the Holy Majesty doesn't want your things, but just wants to see them."

"This. It's not that I don't want to give it to you. It's really damaged. If the Holy Majesty doesn't believe it, then I'll show it to you." Li Chongyuan really lost his mind.

Of course, for Wang Li's behavior, Li Chongyuan really hated him so much.

In desperation, Li Chongyuan had no choice but to yell to Xingba outside, "Xingba, you go to my room and bring that firecracker, let the Holy Lord see if it's really broken."

After understanding the eighth line of Li Chongyuan's words, he went to Li Chongyuan's room.

After a while.

A firecracker appeared in Li Shimin's hand.

And this firecracker, as Li Chongyuan said, was really broken.

But this kind of damage is man-made damage, and the parts are broken into several parts.

Yes, the fire blunderbuss shown to Li Shimin is the long-fire blunderbuss used by Xingba and the others, not the short-fire blunderbuss.

Just this one, Li Chongyuan has nothing to do, and used it for research.

Study how to make a real gun.

The killing range of the firecracker is indeed large, but the distance is too far for Li Chongyuan to compliment.

Therefore, Li Chongyuan always hopes to build a real gun, even if it is a little longer, the power is not as powerful as a sniper rifle, and Li Chongyuan is satisfied with loading bullets one after another.

However, no matter how much Li Chongyuan studies, it is still only in the research stage, and it is still far away from the actual construction.

but.

Recently, Li Chongyuan really doesn't have much time to study firecrackers. There are too many things about the crown ceremony, and he can't spare time at all.

If he really spares time, Li Chongyuan believes that he only needs to give him a few months, and with the help of Lao Xu's family, Li Chongyuan can be sure that a real single-shot gun can be built.

Wang Li at the side saw that Li Shimin was holding this firecracker in his hand. It seemed to be different from the one used by Li Chongyuan before, and the length was much longer.

However, at this moment, he didn't seem to speak, but just glanced at Li Chongyuan curiously.

Seeing Wang Li looking at him, Li Chongyuan quickly gave him a thankful look.

"I heard from Wang Li that this thing can make a huge thunder. Chongyuan, can you tell me what this thing is used to make a noise like thunder?" Li Shimin couldn't see the sound in his hand. The principle of this broken fire gun can only cast a questioning look at Li Chongyuan.

Li Shimin couldn't see the reason, but he pointed at the most powerful part of the firecracker.

well! ! !
Li Chongyuan sighed secretly in his heart and replied: "My lord, I won't lie to you. This thing is called a fire blunderbuss. Although it is powerful, it can only be used at a short distance. If the distance is more than three feet away, it is basically It doesn't work anymore. As for the thing that can make thunder, this thing is something used by alchemists and Taoists to make alchemy."

What Li Chongyuan said was not false.

The effective killing distance of the long-fire gun is about five feet, and the effective killing distance of the short-fire gun is only a little more than three feet.

Of course, if it is more than three feet away, it has the same lethality, but it can't kill people, it can only injure people.

Once it exceeds six feet, it is like a chicken rib, not to mention killing the enemy, it is too heavy to hold in the hand.

Even if it is a long-fire blunderbuss, after more than eight feet, it is basically like a chicken rib.

"An alchemist's alchemy thing? Maybe show me!" Li Shimin's focus really hit Li Chongyuan directly.

There is no other way.

The gunpowder was saved temporarily, but the gunpowder was directly asked by Li Shimin to show him.

Come on.

Since there is no way out, Li Chongyuan can only hand it over to Li Shimin. I hope Li Shimin can give him some benefits.

But this benefit, Li Chongyuan can't mention it, he can only expect it.

Li Chongyuan shouted "Xingba" to the outside again.

After Xingba got the words, not long after, a small bag of gunpowder was brought over.

Li Chongyuan held a small bag of gunpowder, handed it to Li Shimin, and said, "Your Majesty, this is called gunpowder, and it is something made by alchemists and Taoists using the method of subduing fire to make alchemy. You only need to fill it up in the clay pot, and then seal it Afterwards, connect a little fire starter and it will explode. As for the scope of the explosion, it depends on the amount of gunpowder used.”

"Gunpowder? There is sulfur in this thing, and it is really something that alchemists and Taoists made alchemy. Chongyuan, can you show me this thing." Li Shimin took it and looked at it, and then smelled it.

Although I can't see what the gunpowder is, I can smell sulfur in the gunpowder.

Li Chongyuan said to Xingba, "Xingba, you can show it to the Holy One."

Li Chongyuan was not worried about the gunpowder.

The gunpowder that Li Chongyuan can produce is only ordinary gunpowder, and it is also roughly processed gunpowder.

Anyway, Li Chongyuan would not offer the best and most reasonable gunpowder if he wanted to offer it. After all, it was Li Chongyuan's life-saving means.

After getting the words, Xing Ba took a small bag of gunpowder, and took a small bottle and began to fill it.

Soon.

In Li Chongyuan's backyard, suddenly there was a thunderous sound, which shocked some Marquis Wu who were patrolling the streets to run towards this side.

When Li Shimin looked at a crater blown out by gunpowder in front of him, and saw a hen tied before the crater blown to pieces, he was startled.

"Chongyuan, you have to hand over this item to Chao Ting. This item is of great use in war, write down the formula." Li Shimin was shocked, but he still did not forget the court and his identity.
