Chu Tang: Tell Li Er at the beginning that I am a time traveler

Chapter 691 Tangled~
15 is old.

mid-year.

The first bullet production line and the first machine gun production line were completed.

After Li Bi's research, a relatively stable bullet primer with a high firing rate has been produced.

It’s also at this moment.

Li Chong felt a little more at ease, and even had the interest to sing a little song.

Li Zixin also asked him: "Why is Your Majesty so interested today?"

Li Zhong could only say: "Because I haven't seen you for more than half a year."

This is true!

Li Zixin had to admit it.

It seems that since becoming His Majesty, Li Chong has been busy every day.

But what happens next...

I can relax a little bit.

first……

Everything is gradually getting on track, and the next step is to complete it step by step.

At this moment, no matter how anxious he is, it's useless.

after all……

The craftsmen under this hand don't have three heads and six arms, their efficiency is only that fast.

No matter how hard you press, you won't get there quickly.

On the contrary, it is possible that he will become Qin Shi Huang or Sui Yang Emperor.

Second come...

With bullet primers and new types of guns, this means that Datang's current strength should be guaranteed.

This means that for the time being, his throne should be safe.

Over the years...

Li Bi has been working on the primer of bullets.

In addition to researching the formula for bullet primers.

Some safety-related experiments have also been done.

just now……

I can’t say that there won’t be any problems at all, but at least…

It has reached the point where it can be used.

Li Chong even went out of his way to try it out.

can only say……

It feels okay.

After you have the primer of this bullet, then load it into the cartridge case, and then stuff it into the magazine.

This Li heavy machine gun is considered completed.

It is expected that...

This fall.

I should find a place to test the power of this gun and ammunition.

Autumn is also the time when nomadic tribes such as Turks invade.

of course!

All things are interdependent and mutually reinforcing.

Is the development of such guns and ammunition a good thing or a bad thing?
This may be something else to say.

Maybe, one day this bullet will fall on me.

therefore……

There must be someone who is absolutely loyal to him to be in charge of these guns and ammunition.

only……

Even if it is kept secret, it seems difficult to prevent leaks.

The only thing we can do is to formulate certain systems to reduce the risk of accidents as much as possible.

An official must be set up to oversee the use of firearms and ammunition.

Then...

Li Chong also discussed related issues with Li Bi.

It’s autumn of this year.

soon……

This Li heavy machine gun was used on small battlefields.

There are some Turks, only a few dozen or hundreds of them, who have no martial ethics and go south to plunder, and then...

This Li heavy machine gun immediately played its due role.

With a sudden burst, a cavalry team of dozens or hundreds of people was completely dismounted.

When the news came back to the palace.

Li Zhong only regretted that he could not come in person.

but……

It doesn't matter anymore.

after all……

In fact, he has seen scarecrows and wooden stakes before.

As for whether the person who came back to report had lied, as someone with rich experience in watching movies, how could he not know whether what the other person said was true or false.

Anyway...

After you finish shooting the bullets, you have to collect the bullet heads, bullet casings, etc. again.

Don't think that the bullet casing is made of copper and then try to embezzle it.

A small battle like this is actually easy to recover.

If it is a large-scale battle, there may be no solution.

but……

No matter how big or small the battle is, there is nothing wrong with picking up the fired bullets and discarded bullet casings.

after all……

Datang didn't have the money yet, so it wasted so much copper.

Although copper coins are no longer the mainstream currency traded by people in the Tang Dynasty, this copper can be melted to make many things.

For example, incense burners, Buddha statues, etc., so this copper is still very valuable.

therefore……

The first thing the officials assigned to supervise had to do was to count the number of bullets before they were fired, and the number of bullet casings after the battle.

This is used as a basis for promotion and salary.

Only in this way!

Only in this way can we prevent corruption as much as possible.

Li Chong is also trying to use iron to make bullet casings.

but……

This will be discussed later.

At least……

For now, copper is still used.

When one after another battle reports came from the northwest, from the north.

Li Chong looked at the battle reports, which were all about great victories, and he was very calm.

He even frowned a little.

Even Zhang Sun Qing couldn't help but say after seeing it: "Since the war on the border is going so smoothly, why is Your Majesty still looking so sad?"

Li Zhong could only say: "This is a double-edged sword. It kills enemies so fiercely, but it will not be soft at all when it kills one of its own."

"I'm worried about the future."

"Does the Queen know what is the most effective way to avoid war?"

Of course Changsun Qing couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly: "What is it?"

Li Chong: "It is to create a very powerful weapon. This weapon, coupled with a positioning system, is aimed at the palace of every country."

"In this way...then all countries in the world will no longer fight."

Changsun Qing: "?"

Changsun Qing, a woman, still doesn't seem to understand.

Li Chong didn't intend to tell her more.

Just let her give him a squeeze on her shoulders.

And at the same time...

It’s autumn of this year.

The first batch of envoys from the Tang Dynasty also arrived at the cannibal territory.

At this time, some areas of Dashi were still at war with the feudal states of the Tang Dynasty.

Naturally...

Naturally, he didn't like seeing this Tang man with the same skin color at all.

but……

Even if you don't want to see each other again, it is still necessary to meet each other and then ask the other person what they want to do.

Immediately after...

The envoy of the Tang Dynasty explained his intention to the other party.

He said he was here for business.

The other party asked the envoy of the Tang Dynasty what kind of business he was doing.Because this oil exploration is not something that can be hidden from others.

and so……

The envoys of the Tang Dynasty could only speak directly.

But know...

This is where they eat a lot in Arabia, and this oil is also a war resource.

As soon as they heard that this was being mined, people naturally took it a step further and asked, "Maybe you are mining this because you want to attack us."

The envoy of the Tang Dynasty further explained the situation. The Tang Dynasty loved peace and did not want to fight.

Due to the long-term war and civil strife in Dashi, to be honest, they did not want to start another war with the Tang Dynasty.

After asking the Tang Dynasty envoy again what the oil was used for, he considered that if someone could help them extract oil, it would be a good thing for them to use the oil to fight wars.

This oil is Greek fire.

Their ancestors already knew how strong Greek fire was as early as one or two hundred years ago.

It was precisely because of the existence of Greek fire that their powerful Food Empire did not win the war with the Eastern Roman Empire.

Now a group of people actually came over and told them that they were here to mine Greek fire materials.

Then...

The caliph sent the envoys of the Tang Dynasty to rest, while he discussed with the ministers the purpose of these people coming here.

Datang...

They had already heard of this name.

even……

A few decades ago, they seemed to have sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, just to see if the Tang Dynasty could contain the attacks of those feudal states.

But obviously!

It is said that that mission had no effect.

Datang directly rejected them because the journey was too far.

and……

They seemed to have little interest in becoming a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

now……

This envoy from the Tang Dynasty actually traveled thousands of miles to come to him.

Can I request to become a tributary of the Tang Dynasty again?
If it is possible...

Maybe the caliphate will change every five or six years, and maybe it will never happen again.

Because of what!
Because if you change, then Datang, as the suzerain country, will definitely have to express something.

and so……

Even if you really overthrow this caliphate, can you withstand the anger of the suzerain country of Datang?
In order to find out whether Datang has the strength to protect itself.

Next...

The two parties also held many banquets and discussions and negotiations.

The bottom line Li Zhong gave to the envoys was that if problems can be solved with money, use money to solve them.

only……

He never thought that this great cannibal would directly want to join the Tang Dynasty.

But there is also a problem.

The envoy of the Tang Dynasty did not know whether the Tang Dynasty could stop those countries that the Tang Dynasty was feuding from.

because……

To be honest, the Tang Dynasty had already let its western feudal states go their own way, and some of them had even gone so far as not to have any contact with them for a long time.

This also put the envoys of the Tang Dynasty into trouble.

Not to mention……

What also made it difficult for the envoys of the Tang Dynasty was whether the Tang Dynasty could provide the other party with military support.

There is no way...

He had no choice but to use the radio to reconnect with Li Zhong.

When the envoy raised this issue to Li Chong.

Be reasonable!
Li Chong was also in a bit of trouble at this time.

after all……

Compared with the cannibals, the people of the feudal country may be closer to me. I can't attack the people of my feudal country just because of your cannibalism.

of course!

From the perspective of profit, there are so many relatives. If we talk about kinship, Li Er will not confiscate the homes of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

therefore……

If you really want to have no bottom line, just for your own benefit, you can agree to the other party first and try to make the two sides temporarily cease the war.

can only say……

This needs to be considered more carefully.

Then Li Chong asked the envoys to go outside to inquire about the actual situation of the cannibals, how many cities there were, how many people there were, and how difficult it would be for the Tang Dynasty to capture the entire peninsula.

The key is how many troops are needed.

By the way, send someone to the nearest Fengguo to get in touch with the other party.

From now on, the feudal state of the Tang Dynasty in the west cannot do whatever they want.

and……

If the Tang Dynasty really conquered the entire empire, would these feudal states become new obstacles to the Tang Dynasty because of their own interests?
These……

Li Chongdu had to think about it.

That's because Li Zhong did this.

It's the end of the year.

Various countries also sent envoys one after another, and they came to Datang one after another.

No reason.

Just to see if I could get close to the big tree in Datang.

In the past, the reason why they did not have such an idea was because the power of the Tang Dynasty could not reach them at all.

But it's different now!

Since the envoys of the Tang Dynasty have arrived in their territory, it also means that the power of the Tang Dynasty can reach here.

Then there is the possibility of becoming a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

16 years old this year.

March.

Envoys from various countries arrived in Luoyang one after another.

Li Zhong naturally would not have thought that it would be like this.

Ugh……

This also made Li Chong extremely confused.

in fact……

Li Zhong believed that the best way was to directly wipe these big cannibals off the map. This was the most effective way to cure the problem.

just...

indeed!

This war is not a good thing.

People will die in war.

Although the one who died in the battle was not his son.

But in the end, some people's families will still be separated.

Then how should I face these people's families?

Besides...

Now it would probably not be a good thing to wipe out all the giant cannibals now.

why?
because--

When there is no racial conflict, will there be a conflict of interests with the feudal country?
By the time……

If they wipe out all the big cannibals, will the peaches be picked by these feudal countries next?
Li Chong didn't think that since everyone was an ancestor, they wouldn't fight.

That can only be said to be a bit too naive.

There is no way!Since I can't make up my mind...

Then call all the prime ministers together for a meeting.

As the saying goes, the more you argue, the clearer it becomes.

Maybe in the process of communication and collision, he would find what he wanted.

This situation has some hints of when Li Er held a meeting to fight against Gaochang.

Some people say that Gaochang is so far away that it is useless to fight and it is difficult to defend. Moreover, every few years, the soldiers of the government are exchanged. Every time, three or four out of ten people are killed. The people of the Tang Dynasty today are still alive. If the result is not good, why would Your Majesty spend such a high price to attack Gaochang, which will not bring any benefits to the Tang Dynasty?It is better to focus on comfort.

But Li Er was determined to defeat Gaochang.

It turns out.

Li Er did the right thing!
Although many people will die, Gaochang and the Western Regions have become the sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty, and they also have a curbing effect on the Western Turks.

otherwise……

If there were no Gaochang and the four towns of Anxi, then the Western Turks would not be able to do whatever they wanted in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhong couldn't help but tell everyone about this past incident.

of course!

This time is different from before.

Li Er was trying to contain the power of the Western Turks.

What now?
Now he's just doing it to make money.
