Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 194
In the middle of the night, the port of Baekje was peaceful.

After a tentative battle between the Wa Kingdom and the Datang Navy, the Wa Kingdom retreated decisively. According to the report from the scout ship, the Wa Kingdom Navy retreated to the south, preparing to go to Danluo Island to replenish food and water.

Danluo Island is also an independent country, which is the Jeju Island of the later Bangzi Kingdom.

Today's Danluo Kingdom was originally attached to Baekje. After Baekje was destroyed by the Tang army, the country is now in chaos.

"How to attach" is a very helpless topic, because Datang doesn't see them at all, and doesn't want Danluo Kingdom to become a vassal of Datang.

This island country is too small, and it is still in a semi-primitive state. Such a vassal state is attached to Datang, and Datang may feel a little ashamed.

I accept all kinds of cats and dogs. Does my Great Tang Emperor Huanghuang go to the kingdom to lose face?
The Japanese navy temporarily retreated, and Baijikou in Baekje returned to calm.

After midnight, a cavalry team suddenly galloped from the mountain road and went straight into the port.

The soldiers on duty at the port were about to stop them, but the speed of the cavalry did not slow down. A knight shouted: "Liu Rengui, deputy chief of Xiongjin Road marching into the port, get out of the way!"

The soldiers on duty looked at the faint light of the torch, and saw that the leader was indeed Liu Rengui, so they hurriedly removed the horse-rejecting antlers at the entrance, and respectfully gave way.

Liu Rengui galloped in, and recognized the flagship of the navy after a little identification, so he dismounted and threw the reins to the guards, and boarded the ship alone.

After boarding the ship, he went straight to Sun Renshi's cockpit. Sun Renshi hadn't fallen asleep yet, and was still arranging troops all night.

The appearance of the three-eyed gun broke the pattern of naval warfare, and many tactical formations had to be changed. Master Sun Ren was busy with this matter all day long.

Liu Rengui unceremoniously pushed the door open, Sun Renshi was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Brother Zheng Ze, it's late at night, is there any urgent military situation?"

Liu Rengui shook his head, and went straight to the point: "I heard that Li Qinzai made a very sharp new gadget. I must see it with my own eyes. Does the chief executive have something ready-made? How about trying it?"

Master Sun Ren smiled bitterly and said, "It's late at night, and the soldiers are all asleep. The objects made by the children of the Li family are too noisy, and they will blow up the camp after trying."

Liu Rengui didn't insist any more, he knew the horror of bombing the camp, "bombing the camp" is commonly known as camp roar, it is a terrible disaster, if there is a camp roar in the army, the scene is extremely tragic, and everyone from top to bottom will be severely punished.

If the soldiers suddenly made a loud noise in their sleep, it was hard to tell whether the camp would be bombed after they woke up.

"Brother Zhengzheng came here late at night for this purpose?" Master Sun Ren asked.

Liu Rengui frowned and said: "Yes, I heard that the chief executive sent someone to deliver a letter in the afternoon, and the old man will set off immediately. If this thing is really so sharp, in this battle, I will wipe out the remnants of Baekje on land, and even fight against the Tang Dynasty. They are all major events with far-reaching influence, and the old man must see is believing."

Master Sun Ren gave a hum, and said slowly: "I can guarantee my life. There is absolutely no half-word false in the letter. Li Qinzai really created a very sharp thing. According to him, within fifty steps, Master Wang is invincible." .”

Liu Rengui was shocked and moved: "Invincible within fifty steps? Is this... too crazy?"

Sun Renshi smiled slightly: "I have seen it with my own eyes. If a team of thousands of musketeers shoot side by side, they can really be invincible within fifty paces. Since I dare to write the power of the three-eyed blunderbuss in the letter, I will definitely treat everyone. responsible for every single word."

Liu Rengui pondered for a while, then said: "However, the shooting range is still a bit weaker, only half of the bow and arrow."

Master Sun Ren shook his head again and again: "You can't calculate it like this, brother Zheng, one shot of this thing can affect a radius of one foot. If a row of guns shoots in volley, the power is much greater than a row of bows and arrows."

"Whether the enemy is a ship or land cavalry, a volley can be said to cover the sky and cover the sky. There will be almost no living things within fifty steps, and a salvo of bows and arrows will never have such an effect."

"What's more, bows and arrows are often affected by the wind speed of the climate, and the aim depends somewhat on luck, but the three-eyed gun is different. No matter what the wind speed is, it will not be affected within fifty steps, and it will also be lethal within a hundred steps."

Liu Rengui's eyes flickered, his serious old face couldn't hide his joy, and he still forced himself to be calm: "If it's as the chief executive said, Li Qinzai has made a great contribution, not bad!"

Master Sun Ren stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This son is extraordinary. At the beginning, His Majesty and the British Duke sent me a letter asking me to pay attention to this son. Maybe something new will be created to increase the winning rate of this battle. I didn't believe it at first, until today. , Seeing Li's baby's ability with my own eyes, I was convinced."

Exhaling a sigh of admiration, Sun Renshi said with a smile: "The British public family has really talented people from generation to generation, and one generation is stronger than the next. This family will not decline within a hundred years, and will only become more and more prosperous."

Liu Rengui twitched the corner of his mouth: "The Li family ancestor's tomb is well buried, so it must be a treasured place of geomantic omen."

Master Sun Ren glanced at him, and said with a broken smile: "Brother Zhengzheng, you... have a very straightforward temper. You were the only one who was serious about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Why bother?"

Liu Rengui's complexion was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "You can't hide your merits. If you make a mistake, you are wrong. The old man was doing something in the past, and he didn't participate when he saw a mistake. Wouldn't he be ashamed of his salary?"

"To this day, the old man still thinks that he did nothing wrong. It is true that the Queen's Royal Highness made meritorious deeds, and it is also a fact that he sent troops to cause disaster. Why do the monarchs and ministers only see their meritorious deeds and not hear their faults?"

Master Sun Ren interrupted his words with repeated waves of hands, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, no matter how reasonable you are, can you talk to the old man? Turn around and be more polite to Li's baby. They don't rely on their ancestors, they really rely on it." It's your true ability, don't scare the children with an old face."

Liu Rengui's face softened a little, and he snorted, "I'm not right about people, I'm a capable and well-behaved child, why would I make things difficult for him indiscriminately? Do you think this old man has lived like a dog?"

The muscles on Master Sun Ren's face twitched a few times.

Just for your straightforward and black-and-white temper, without the slightest understanding of turning around and worldly sophistication, isn't it true that you haven't lived in the belly of a dog at this age?

"Wake up the children of the Li family tomorrow morning. I will see the power of the three-eyed gun with my own eyes. After seeing it, I have to go back to Xiongjin City and prepare to lead the army northward to eliminate the enemy."

Master Sun Ren beckoned and said: "Since Brother Zhengzheng is here, you and I just happened to jointly submit a memorial to Chang'an to ask for credit for Li Qinzai. Also, after the appearance of the three-eyed gun, there should be some changes in our army's formation in the future. You and I will discuss it." Discuss how to change to maximize the power of the three-eyed gun."

Liu Rengui hummed, and said, "It's okay to discuss the formation, but the matter of jointly signing up to ask for credit will be delayed, and the old man will join hands after meeting tomorrow morning."

Master Sun Ren hesitated and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

This stubborn donkey has a bad temper. There is really no one else. This old man has been an official for half his life. Does he have any friends?

…………

In the middle of the night, Li Qinzai was still awake.

The main reason why I didn't fall asleep was because of Li Sujie, who was too excited since he got a job for nothing today. He pestered Li Qinzai to chat about everything, watching the snow, watching the stars, watching the moon, talking about poetry and poetry to philosophy of life...

If it weren't for his lack of hair, Li Qinzai couldn't help but wonder if this guy has some strange hobbies, coveting his own beauty.

"Sir, when this disciple sneaked out from Chang'an, I heard something..." Li Sujie chatted excitedly.

Li Qinzai yawned for a long time, and said casually, "What's the matter?"

"Father and the courtiers of the three provinces discussed for two days, and then issued two orders. One is to expel the Tang envoys, and the other is to cut off the business of the Tang and Japanese countries."

Li Qinzai was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

Li Zhizhen obviously listened to what Li Zhi had said before he left for the expedition. Expulsion of the Tang envoys and the severing of business between the two countries were two of the three things that Li Qinzai was right about.

As for the third thing, the Navy of the Tang Dynasty blocked the waters. This... Datang cannot do it for the time being, because the navy is not large enough to block it.

"And then?" Li Qinzai asked sleepily.

"Then, the envoys sent to Tang Dynasty in Chang'an went crazy, and they protested to Honglu Temple one after another. Thousands of people robbed the land with their heads, and there were thousands of people crying and wailing. In those few days, the city of Chang'an was disturbed by these envoys sent to Tang Dynasty."

Li Qinzai laughed and said, "No one cares about these hozens, let them make trouble?"

"Of course someone cares about it. Two days after the incident, some envoys from the Tang Dynasty dared to draw their swords in front of the Honglu Temple, threatening to kill themselves in order to admonish the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Finally, the officials of the Honglu Temple couldn't take it anymore and ordered the servants to drive them away with sticks. , beat them with sticks so that they cried for their father and mother, haha."
