Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 480

"Why did you come back so late today?"

Yang Xiaoran stepped forward to help Li Chengqian take off the outer bedding, "I didn't come back for lunch at noon, what happened to the court? They didn't come back for dinner."

Li Chengqian avoided answering, and only said: "Get me some water to drink, from morning to afternoon, the whole day, Gu didn't drink a few sips of water, his tongue was sharp, his throat was about to smoke right now."

Yang Xiaoran's heart trembled, did something happen again?
I was busy asking someone to bring tea, but my man seemed to be unable to wait.He actually took his scented tea and drank it.

After drinking one cup and pouring another cup, boil it with space water, the tea brewed from the chrysanthemums arranged in the space, not only tastes sweet, but also has a scent of chrysanthemums overflowing in the mouth.

It happened to be warm at the moment, and to a thirsty man it was the most delicious thing in the world.

Li Chengqian drank a few drinks in a row, saw that the children were still here, and said: "You guys go to the garden to play for a while, Grandpa has something to say to your grandma."

After a pause, he said again: "Big companion, you follow, these two little ones are very optimistic, Dalang, Erlang, auntie, you have to take care of your younger brother, you know?"

Li Lian blinked and said, "Grandfather, can we play with Cui Liangdi?"

Li Chengqian thought for a while, and said: "That's fine, I'll call you Aunt Cui and Uncle Fifteen to have dinner together later."

"it is good!"

A few little guys went out, seeing Li Chengqian like this, Yang Xiaoran frowned, waved away all the servants, and asked: "What happened?"

Li Chengqian sat down and said: "Chen Dade, the staff doctor, has returned from his mission to Korea."

"How to say?"

Yang Xiaoran sat down, "Father has the heart to be aggressive?"

Li Chengqian nodded, "Chen Dade said that the king of Koryo was very afraid when he heard that Gaochang was destroyed, and begged to be a minister. But his father was not happy after hearing this. He said that Koryo was originally the four counties placed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Not difficult."

Yang Xiaoran's heart trembled, and he said, "Shandong (to the east of Taihang Mountain) counties were hit by disasters this year. Although there is enough food and grass to help the victims, these counties are exhausted. How about making progress in Korea? That's the only way to make progress in Korea. The road is the front line, if Shandong itself cannot supply the army and relies entirely on other states and counties for supply, this station will undoubtedly be defeated."

Li Chengqian nodded, "Father also knows this. But I always feel that we have thunder in our hands. Now we are not afraid of Goryeo's strong city walls, and the way to use troops is to be surprised. Maybe Goryeo thinks the same way. Lax in defense and surprise soldiers to increase the shock." Thunder may win."

After a pause, he shook his head again, "The court has already quarreled today, and it's been a whole day."

"So what's the result now?"

"There is no result. Some people suggested that Goryeo should send envoys to Tang Dynasty, maybe we can wait for them to come before making plans."

Yang Xiaoran nodded, "This is an old saying that seeks to seek the country, and it can be discussed later."

"Well, my father also agreed. But in this way, it is unrealistic to start a war this year. When I go north, it will become colder and colder, and it is not suitable to start a war in winter."

Yang Xiaoran laughed, "The winter there is really not suitable for war. The supply line is too long, so it's better to fight quickly. Let's wait for people from Korea to come and delay for a while. If I can get artillery next year, maybe A battle."

Li Chengqian fell silent.

After a long time, he said: "Is there any clue about the steel suitable for artillery?"

Yang Xiaoran nodded, "Slightly eye-catching. If it doesn't work, bronze is fine too. It's a bit more expensive, but looking at the current era of cold weapons, bronze cannons and solid bullets can scare many people. The principle of artillery is actually not difficult , As long as the basic artillery can be built now. And on the shoulders of the predecessors, we can still make the most basic artillery and make it even better, and the accuracy rate will be much higher if it is rifled."

After a pause, he continued: "It's just that these magical weapons are the most important weapons of the country. They should not be shown to others easily, and they must be made with caution. It's okay to waste some raw materials, but if they explode easily, it will cost the lives of my Tang soldiers. But it's not beautiful."

As he said that, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "The life of my Tang Dynasty is valuable, but I can't die in such a thing!"

Li Chengqian smiled, and said: "Even solid bullets are enough. After all, no matter how strong the city wall of Goryeo is, it's not Chang'an..."

"Not long ago, Mr. Wang tried to use bamboo as a gun barrel (don't laugh, there were such muskets in the late Southern Song Dynasty), and explored the manufacture of muskets..."

Yang Xiaoran sighed, "If I knew I was going to time travel, I should have brought some books on weapon development and manufacturing with me..."

After a pause, he continued: "The principle of this musket is actually very simple. The difficulty lies in the construction of the bullet. We can even skip the arquebus directly and use flint to fire it to make a flintlock gun, or we can do more research and go directly to it. A breech-loading gun is also possible. It's just that the bullets are hard to make."

Shaking his head, he continued: "My Tang Dynasty is not a country rich in copper mine resources, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use both money and silk. And even if there are enough copper mines, it is useless without machine tools. No power, after all, it’s a bit worse. If I can bring a vernier caliper when I have an accident... With the vernier caliper, as long as I figure out the blueprint, it is also feasible to manufacture some basic machine tools with the craftsmanship of my Datang craftsman. Slow down Slowly, you can fall into a virtuous circle and make more complex machines..."

Li Chengqian thought for a while, took her hand, patted it, and comforted him: "Don't you say that this science can be achieved overnight? With you as a prophet, you have avoided too many detours, and there is always a way." Solved."

After speaking, she patted her head lightly, and said with a smile: "You are not the only smart person in this world! With more and more students graduating from Qingshan Academy, I think that in ten or twenty years, technology will It will enter the era of great explosion."

"It's also thanks to the prince's brother. The East Palace recruits these people. Everyone thinks that learning this has a future, so naturally they flock to it. Speaking of it, the Tang Dynasty is not the Ming and Qing Dynasties after all, and the ability to accept them is still very strong."

"It's also due to my father. If it wasn't for my father's protection, I would have been suspected of misbehavior..."

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "After all, you still have face. When you made a fuss that time, this Yang family has changed from a Jieyu to a talented person."

Yang Xiaoran stuck out his tongue and head, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, let's not talk about it. Are you tired after a busy day? Eat early and rest after eating."

"kindness……"

Li Shimin already had the intention to advance to Goryeo, and Goryeo quickly sent envoys.When it was almost October, a Korean mission came to Beijing.

Since there are envoys coming, it is natural to hold some banquets or something.Now Yang Xiaoran is busy again.

The state banquet, and the reception of foreign envoys, naturally cannot be simple.Apart from showing a little extravagance, you can't pass it, otherwise you will be suspected of flattery.

There are many political factors that need to be considered in a dinner party. You can't lose etiquette and you have to give Goryeo a slap in the face.

The selection of dishes is naturally arranged by the people from Shangshi Bureau, and Yang Xiaoran is in charge of checking.Removed some unsuitable dishes.

Feeling the emperor's mind, some extravagant ingredients are not needed.We are not engaged in charity. This Goguryeo has been cohabiting with some young people around him all day long. He has broken his promise many times in history, and he was given independence when the Central Plains was in chaos. Otherwise, how could there be a Goryeo king?

By the way, Goguryeo at this time has nothing to do with Bangzi in later generations.I don't know why the group of people with abnormal brain circuits always think that our land belongs to them.

The problem is, it would be fine if they were as strong as their godfather, Uncle Sam.It is normal for a strong country to exercise power.

The problem is that even I am drinking the milk of American fathers, and I have to say this is them and that is them all day long. This brain circuit is also drunk.

But this is the virtue of the stick!

During World War II, Bangzi bullied the Chinese more ruthlessly and badly than Japan. Even their master, the Devil, found it unbelievable.

Otherwise, where did the nickname Bangzi come from?He is servile to the strong, like a pug dog; he has no sympathy for the weak but intensifies violence. As a patriotic young man, Yang Xiaoran feels in his heart that this nation is really bad, and he hates it to the core.

After cleaning up Goguryeo, maybe Baekje and Silla can also be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty?
With some kind of angry youth in mind, a certain girl didn't slack off this time, and made the dishes with great care.They also brought a bunch of vegetables. Goguryeo is close to Baekje and Silla. Maybe they can also like this?
On the day of the banquet, as the crown princess, the actual power holder in the Tang harem is naturally higher than the mother of the country, so such a banquet must be attended.

This time, the Goguryeo envoy not only brought the credentials, but also sent a group of Goguryeo women.This is also their usual method. Isn't that Empress Qi of later generations still filmed into a big drama by Bangzi?

Not to mention the pride of climbing to the queen's position as a subjugated slave, let's say that the bird queen is simply a representative of moral corruption.It can be said that such a stick can be used to write a special book, which shows how inferior this nation is.

Not to mention, after the Goguryeo envoy completed the established ceremony during the day, he also had time to look at the Tang Palace when he attended the banquet at night.

I heard that this palace is only old, and the newly built Daming Palace is more than ten times this size.But looking at this palace right now makes them feel unbelievable, the wealth of the Tang Dynasty is beyond their imagination.

Looking at this banquet, even the dancing divas had good faces, apparently eating well.Thinking about what they saw and heard all the way to Beijing, they felt that it was necessary to establish a good relationship with Datang at this moment.

Anyway, it has been many years since they split up, even Emperor Sui Yang, who was as strong as Sui Yang, could not destroy them.They are not Gaochang after all, if the Tang Dynasty has that ability, why should they accept this tribute?

After receiving the letter of credence, it will be a country of monarchs and ministers in the future.That being the case, there must be some benefits.

Thinking this way, he looked at the woman who was dressed in a simple but noble and elegant manner under the throne of the Son of Heaven...

This should be the famous princess of the Tang Dynasty, right?
