Chapter 421 Chapter 410 Chapter Eight Excitement

"It's all about connections.

I really didn't expect that I, Su Xi, have such a wide network of contacts in Datang. "

A thick box of gift lists made Su Xi very proud.

"I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. These are all contacts left by your father. You are really blessed."

Turning her face to Anyang's stomach, Su Xi said happily.

Princess Anyang was helpless, and pushed Su Xi away, the child is so young, he can know a ghost.

It's still in the stomach, and the head is probably not fully grown yet.

At this time, Anyang's stomach was slightly swollen, and Su Xi had already ordered the midwife and doctor to be ready.

At this time, Su Xi is most fortunate that medical education has been popularized a few years ago, and the status of women has also been improved.

It was such a joy to see those female doctors.

Who would like a male doctor to deliver the baby to his wife, how prone to problems.

Su Xi fully prepared a team of midwives and doctors, ready to deliver Anyang at any time.

"Lang Jun, I have given you so many gifts, so we have to return them someday."

Anyang is different, staring at the box of gift list, feeling a little heavy, it must have been given away by all the dignified people in the upper echelons of Tang Dynasty.

Holding Anyang's hand, Su Xi gave her some confidence.

"It's nothing, these are minor problems, many of them are business contacts, and there are not so many expensive gifts to leave."

Su Xi smiled and said, not caring at all.

"Moreover, we leave when we know many gifts, but we don't know why we have to leave."

Speaking of the latter, Su Xi sneered directly.

If your family invites me, I will go. If you don’t invite me, why should I go? I, Marquis of Quyang, Su Xi, don’t need to curry favor with you, and I don’t even bother to curry favor with you.

We are all normal contacts.

"By the way, there is no gift from the great generals of the Western Regions here."

Anyang looked it over and found that none of the generals who fought in the Western Regions gave gifts.

Su Xi looked at it, and then smiled in relief.

"It is estimated that they will send some military gifts."

Su Xi didn't think at all that Li Ji and others would not give gifts.

They may not give it to Su Xi, but they will give it to their children and Anyang.

Besides, they have a good relationship with Su Xi.

Just rely on Xue Rengui who is studying with Li Ji now.

Yes, Xue Rengui has a new teacher, that is Li Ji.

Since boarding the big ship of the prince, Xue Rengui feels that his life has reached the pinnacle.

Followed the prince to beat the king of Wei, and served as a companion to the prince.

He studied etiquette with Li Gang and others, learned martial arts with Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong, and listened to Wei Guogong's lectures on the art of war.

He went out with several generals, and once led an army alone to fight the world.

Now even participating in the war of annihilating the country, he can still be allowed by his superiors to savagely verify his ideas.

Xue Rengui felt that he was a good-for-nothing. After being taught by so many famous generals, he should become a talent.

What's more, it's not waste material.

For example, now, he leads an army alone with 3000 people across the country of Dawan, rushing around, and after defeating one army and another, Guo Xiaoke and Liang Jianfang escorted him with 5 people behind him, and the army slowly exerted pressure.

In the back, Li Jizheng led the whole army and made adjustments to the entire battlefield.

This is the benefit of having a famous general behind you.

The wars among the countries in the Western Regions have basically entered garbage time. If it wasn't for the training of the aristocratic family and the opportunity to plunder the population, Li Ji would have rushed forward with his army.

You must know that Li Ji has all kinds of powerful and lethal weapons sent from Chang'an City in his hands.

After Datang pointed out the semi-automatic lathe, it has started industrialization construction everywhere under the condition of sufficient steel output.

The benefits of opening mountains and building roads were also brought out. Many scattered iron ores were mined, and the Datang government immediately asked to build blast furnaces on the spot and start ironmaking.

It is a small blast furnace in one side, and one in each place. They produce their own farm tools, make their own weapons, and so on.

In addition to these, the steel they produce locally will be owned by the state.

Steel is a very important strategic resource.

Datang is now armed with armor for the entire army, and is still making iron farm tools. In addition to these, firearms such as cannons and howitzers that are gradually being researched and perfected also need steel.

In particular, some people have proposed to make the cannon so weak that it can be held in the hand and modify the gun.

In their words, in this way there will not be much close combat in the future, and we try to stop the enemy from a distance as much as possible.

In short, it is a chain reaction, coupled with the education and literacy campaign that has been universalized.

Other dynasties may be a difficult task, but this dynasty is in an era when intellectuals themselves are motivated, coupled with the current positive atmosphere of opening up to the outside world.

The local residents of Datang are all working hard to make progress, and those who don't work hard are thrown away to have children.

If you don't work hard, then you will give birth to ten or eight hard-working children.

Lathe technology is a good technology.

With him, the speed of production machinery is greatly increased.

In the army of the Western Regions, Li Ji looked at the row of unconscionable guns in front of him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Although the shot was not too far, it was enough.

With these small cannons, they have already pitted [-] cavalry from various countries in the Western Regions.

Needless to say, although 10 people are a huge crowd, they are boundless when charging, but as long as they are held up frontally, [-] cannons and heartless cannons can easily send them to death.

Isn't the reason why the Song Dynasty was killed because it didn't hold up the opponent's army?
During the change of the civil fort in the Ming Dynasty, didn't it just happen that the firearms could not be used on rainy days, and there was an invincible waste emperor Zhu Qizhen who commanded blindly, and was destroyed by a raid on his hometown.

Was the army of the Ming Dynasty weak at the time of Tumubao?
That's really not weak at all.

Some of the elite inside followed Zhu Dima on the grassland, fought to the riverside of the disaster, and sealed off the wolf and lived in Xuxu.

Most of them were from the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty. They followed Zhu Zhanji to attack the grassland and put down the grassland rebellion.

Many of the generals are experienced in many battles.

Still the same sentence, one general is incompetent and exhausts thousands of troops.

Li Ji is not an incompetent general, the quality and quantity of firearms in his hands are far superior to those of the Ming Dynasty, and the logistics supply is sufficient.

Naturally, they will not be intimidated by the countries of the Western Regions.

Their strategic goal of the Tang Dynasty is to penetrate the Western Regions, completely bring this place under their own rule, and then Megatron Central Asia will hunt the Arab Empire.

Li Ji and others already knew the existence of the Arab Empire, and the family knew the existence of the other party from Sasan Persia, the crazy man with the Quran in one hand and the machete in the other.

But Datang is not afraid, the opponent will not be able to fight for a while, and they will not be able to fight for a while.

That lunatic still has to fight Sasan Persia for a while.

It was knowing that majestic empire that made them excited, especially excited.

How exciting it would be to collide with another empire.
