Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 520 Willow's Miniature Heartless Cannon
Empress Xiao has no idea what kind of yamen the Donggang Shipping Department is.

She helped Liu Ruyu ask for an official position, but she didn't want Hou Sui to be destroyed by a woman who was recorded in the future. At least she was a truly powerful person, so she could feel better in her heart.

"Who is this Concubine Liu?" Empress Xiao asked again.

"My son-in-law." Li Yuan's tone changed, with a hint of pride and joy.

Obviously Empress Xiao was very dissatisfied with this answer. As a son-in-law, she can only be the son-in-law of the emperor. Is there any need to explain this?

Li Yuan said again: "Actually, you know Liumu married Lan Ruo, and you not only know Lan Ruo's mother. Lan Ruo's name in the clan is Li Lanruo, and her original name was Dugu Lanruo."

Speaking of this, Empress Xiao naturally knows who it is, because her mother-in-law is Dugu Jialuo.

The Dugu family background may not be as deep as the five surnames and seven Wangs, but the Dugu family issued a Dugu letter, three queens in one family, and not three queens in one dynasty, but three queens in three dynasties.

They are the eldest daughter, Empress Mingjing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the fourth daughter, Empress Tang Yuanzhen, and the seventh daughter, Empress Wenwen of the Sui Dynasty.

"He, is he good to Lan Ruo?" When Empress Xiao heard Dugu Lan Ruo, she felt close to her.

"In Chang'an, he was privately called Liu Xianzi by the people. He didn't want to be an official, and he didn't want to contribute to the government. He studied, ate, drank and had fun every day. Some of the gifts he made to please Lan Ruo often appeared in Chang'an market after a year of waiting for similar goods."

Empress Xiao covered her face and smiled, such a man is indeed rare.

"He also engages in wars. You must have heard that he took [-] soldiers and killed [-] Turkic elite cavalry. In fact, I know that he is doing it for his two sisters and three sisters. Find a way to find your in-laws."

"For example, Princess Rencheng."

"En!" Li Yuan nodded: "Besides, this raid on the Turkic Yazhang is extremely dangerous, but the two masters, two lieutenants and four generals who led the army will be judged according to what my cousin thinks about their merits."

"One-Step Duke. Because the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo is in the hands of Yi Cheng." Empress Xiao also understands government affairs.

However, Li Yuan shook his head: "It used to be, but not now. Erlang has established a very strict system of honors, even a county prince is reluctant, but he may have a title before, and this time there are other meritorious deeds. It's possible."

"En." Empress Xiao was not clear about Datang's new system of lords, so she just nodded.

Li Yuan suddenly smiled: "Tell my cousin an interesting thing. I can see my son-in-law. His idea is that after the five daughters in the family get married, they will have five wives."

It is the wife mentioned here, not the wife of the husband and wife.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, a regular wife of the first and second ranks is called Madam, a gentleman of the third rank, respectful of the fourth rank, pleasant of the fifth rank, safe of the sixth rank, and Confucian below the seventh rank.

"I heard that the fourth lady of the Liu family let Ashnadur, who might become king, not marry, but instead married a slave soldier." Empress Xiao heard this passage while chatting with Liu Ruyu.

Li Yuan slapped his thigh vigorously: "This is called having a temper. How interesting it is to let a slave soldier's wife become his wife."

"It's hard as hell."

"Well, although it is difficult, it is possible. I have seen that kid. In the first battle, he turned from a slave soldier to a good soldier. In the second battle, as one of the deputy commanders of Eight Hundred Ding, he just killed a regular seventh-rank military officer with a knife in his hand. This is the first battle In the third battle, as a lieutenant general, he entered the Turkic tent, no matter how he has to be promoted to the sixth rank, how old is he, fifteen or sixteen years old."

Empress Xiao also laughed, and she could tell that Liu Mu didn't want to be an official, and he didn't want to be in politics.But he was fighting for his family's military merits and his lordship.

"Cousin, let me tell you an anecdote about Xiaomu...

The next day.

Suddenly, the four gates of Xishoujiang City were opened wide, and the soldiers and horses of the whole city formed an array outside the city. Liu Mu and Li Ji were in the position of the central army, and slowly marched towards Jieli's main camp in formation.

The horns of Jieli's main battalion continued to sound, and the battalion began to mobilize quickly, preparing for the battle.

I saw 4000 people rushed out of Liumu's former army, ran to the distance of [-] steps from the Xieli camp and began to dig holes frantically, and then buried the lower half of cans one after another in the soil, and then covered them with soil. Steady and firm.

The 3000 people retreated quickly, leaving only 1000 people squatting in front of their barrels each holding a box of matches.

The Zhongshou surrendered city army led by Li Jing is also in place, and all the soldiers and horses are also in place in time. It is estimated that the Huihe people have already taken over Liu Rengui's team.

"Who would have thought that this can of yours turned out to be a great weapon for melee combat." Li Ji said to Liu Mu with a smile when he saw those well-trained people digging holes and burying the can.

But Liu Mu said: "I didn't want to use this method at first, it's too much of a waste of my gunpowder. And the lethality is limited, it's not as shocking as steel thunder, and it's not as good as my light fire geese and god fire flying crows. I don't have the right to fight with me at all. Small generals and big generals are more lethal than cannons."

"It's cheap, and the advantage is that it's cheap." Li Ji finished what he hadn't said for Liu Mu.

"Well, it's cheap, a catty of gunpowder is only a few pennies, and I brought tens of thousands of catties." Liu Mu said viciously.

Liumu's canned cannon is a super-super-miniature version of the heartless cannon of later generations, but it is already terrifying in this era, especially those under Liumu are still covered with broken tiles, broken bowls, broken sword fragments and so on.

It flew out and exploded in the air. For soldiers in dense formations in this era, it was worse than a nightmare.

Li Ji motioned to the left and right to step back, and then asked, "What is the power of the Great General's cannon?"

"It didn't work. That thing is too difficult to make. The design power is that a seven-pound shot put can fly at least five miles away. This thing is used to hit a ship. Ten shots can destroy a [-]-material ship."

But Li Ji said: "Then, is a hundred cannons enough to blow up the walls of Xishou surrendered city?"

"Enough." Liu Mu replied with certainty.

"Can you shoot ten small generals in Gaochang next year? Just blow open the city gate." Li Ji asked.

Liu Mu cracked his mouth: "It's so boring to blow up doors, install small steel balls to shoot loose cannons, and shoot out with one shot to kill one. Then send people to rush to dig a hole under the city wall, bury one hundred catties of gunpowder in it, and bury two hundred if it is not enough." catty."

Li Ji nodded, he didn't really want these weapons.

Rather, new-style ordnance must have a new set of usage, and old-fashioned thinking will certainly not be able to exert its full power.

While the two were chatting, Jieli came out.

Liu Mu pulled his horse's head and quickly went up to it, and crossed the buried willows and named it fifty steps before the Crystal Cannon Array. If Liu Mu fired fruit cannons at this position, he would die.

Jieli also greeted him.

"Liu Concubine, you have repeatedly made enemies of my Great Turks, but what is the meaning? My Great Turks have already been willing to form an alliance with the Tang people, but you continue to harass my Great Turks."

"fart."

Liu Mu's fart made everyone who heard it stunned.
