"Pingguo Gong, is it really okay to just let these people come up and watch like this?"
Although Liu Bo's body has not fully recovered in the past month or so, he is already able to move freely.
"What's so bad?" Tang Ping pointed to the excited people: "Can't you see how happy they are?"
"But...but this..." Liu Bo said after a while: "But this is the powerful cannon of the Tang Dynasty. If it is...by..."
"By what? General Liu, you have been injured now, why have everyone become unhappy? If this Tang Shenwei cannon has no ammunition, it is just a piece of iron. Are you afraid that these empty-handed people will break it? Can’t do it?”
As for whether there might be spies from other countries among them, Tang Ping wasn't worried. To be honest, this cannon body didn't really have much technical content.
As long as the iron smelting technology is decent, it is not too difficult to cast such a gun body.
The original core secret of the Tang Dynasty Shenwei Cannon was the gunpowder in it. Unable to develop gunpowder of good enough quality, Tang Ping gave these cannons to countries that sent spies, and they could only treat them as a pile of scrap metal.
Liu Bo groaned twice, intending to say something more, but found that he couldn't speak to Tang Ping at all, so he had to give up.
Wave after wave of people lined up to go up, and they couldn't help but want to touch the powerful Tang Dynasty cannon, and they would pull up their clothes and wipe their hands again and again before touching it.
"Bless the mighty cannon of the Tang Dynasty. May there be no more wars in Guizhou City, and everyone will be safe!"
"Bless the mighty cannon of the Tang Dynasty. Please don't have a big snow disaster this winter, and don't freeze our sheep to death again. Just sell those sheep to make the New Year better!"
I don’t know who took the lead, but actually bowed to the cannon on the city wall.
At first, the person probably thought that the artillery was powerful and could ensure the safety of the party, so he prayed.
Unexpectedly, his actions were imitated by the people behind him, so that the people who climbed up the city wall behind him actually wanted to bow to the cannons.
And the things you pray for become more outrageous as you go to the back.
"With the blessing of the mighty cannon of the Tang Dynasty, my wife will be pregnant with a child next year, preferably a son!"
"Bless me with the mighty cannon of the Tang Dynasty. Ask the shopkeeper to give me a raise immediately!"
Xiao Liuzi who was standing by was dumbfounded. Where do you think this is? This is the artillery of the Tang Dynasty and not the Bodhisattva in the temple. It really has everything you can ask for.
He stretched out his hand to stop the people who were about to rush up behind him, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.
After so many years in Guizhou City, he didn't know that there were so many people in Guizhou City.
Needless to say, the city wall has been blocked since it was opened.
Looking down from the city wall, the entire Guizhou City is also densely packed with people.
Tang Ping couldn't help but sigh while standing on the city wall: "This is just like people following the herd during the short holiday!"
Li Tai has only seen so many people during major festivals such as the Lantern Festival in Chang'an. However, Chang'an is so big that it is not as crowded as here.
Looking at the crowd on the city wall, he said to Tang Ping, "Cousin, I'll go take a look too," and then he squeezed past with his guards.
"Sir, doesn't His Highness the King of Wei usually like to join in the fun in crowded places like this?" Lao Cui asked curiously on the side. You must know that Li Tai often goes to live in Shanghe Village. Although others have no airs, if there are too many people, He is fat and doesn't like to squeeze into those places.
"Hahaha." Tang Ping laughed twice, squinting his eyes and said with a smile: "He was the one who originally developed and manufactured the Great Tang Shenwei Cannon. Now that the people are gathering around to praise him, he naturally wants to listen to others praise him. Already!"
Tang Ping saw clearly. Although Li Tai was that kind of kid from other people's families, he was still young and had a good temper. How could he not like to hear others praise him?
Although there were many people on the city wall, Li Tai's several muscular guards and the government officials who maintained order had all seen Li Tai in the government office. Although they didn't know his specific identity, they knew that he was from Chang'an and that he was called Duke Ping. Tang Ping is a cousin, so naturally he is a prince.
.
Seeing him squeezing over with his people, even though it was against the rules, they didn't dare to stop him, but within a moment he was squeezed in front of an artillery piece.
"Dad, is this the mighty cannon of the Tang Dynasty? Why does it look nothing like you?"
There were several people lined up in front of the cannon. One of them, a child holding a wooden cannon in his hand, raised his head and asked.
Next to him was a simple and strong man. Hearing his son's words, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed on his face. He smiled and said: "Dad has never gone up to the city tower to see it. He just watched it from a distance under the city wall. There is something natural about this carving." It’s not the same.”
My son had been clamoring to see the powerful cannon of the Tang Dynasty since it was placed on the city wall. He was so beaten that he couldn't help it, so he carved one out of wood and coaxed him to say that it was exactly the same as the one on the city wall.
Anyway, you can't see it completely and clearly from the bottom of the city wall, so I really coaxed you past it.
I just didn’t expect to be able to come up and see my true appearance today, but instead my secret was exposed.
"Then I have to go and touch it!" After saying this, the child handed the wooden sculpture to the strong man and ran over.
Originally, this artillery was allowed to be touched by everyone. After all, it was just an iron lump. The more people touched it, the brighter it would be at most, which would not be a big problem for its use.
But who knew that this child was so excited to see the hunter that he jumped up like a monkey?
Standing on the body of the Great Tang Divine Cannon, he cheered: "I see the Great Tang Divine Cannon!"
The strong man next to him and Xiaoliu who was maintaining order were both shocked. What they didn't expect was that there were more than just monkey children on the city wall.
Several children looked at his appearance and climbed on other artillery pieces to jump up.
"Bold, how can you be so arrogant with this mighty cannon of the Tang Dynasty?" one of Li Tai's personal guards shouted loudly.
He has followed Li Tai for a long time, so he knows how much effort Li Tai put into these artillery pieces.
Now that he saw these children actually climbing up and jumping up and down, he was naturally furious and asked questions loudly.
The yamen servant Xiaoliuzi kept looking at the artillery, but he didn't notice Li Tai coming.
Others don't know Li Tai's specific identity. He happened to meet Li Tai when he was sent out last time when he was guarding the gate of the government office. He also heard with his own ears that the master was calling the King of Wei, so his face turned pale and he took two steps at a time. He went over and took down the kid who was jumping up there.
Then he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, King Wei, you have neglected your duty. He is just a child. Please..."
He wanted to ask for mercy, but thinking about the kid who was jumping on the cannon and Li Tai hit him, he didn't know how to explain it.
The people nearby also quickly grabbed the child off the cannon, and were shocked when they heard Xiao Liuzi calling King Wei.
Who doesn’t know that this mighty cannon of the Tang Dynasty was built under the supervision of the King of Wei? Now that you are jumping on this treasure, don’t you have to bear the wrath of the sky?
Thinking of this, the parents whose children ran up clutched their children and shivered.
"Are you the only one who can speak?" Li Taibai glanced at the guard who yelled and asked: "When you go back later, copy the words "I will never shout loudly again" five hundred times for me! "
Then he ignored him and went up to pull Xiao Liuzi up: "Get up, everyone, get up and talk!"
Seeing that the people were still kneeling on the ground, he was a little helpless. The concept of the supremacy of imperial power had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
He could only take the naughty child from Xiao Liuzi's arms and said with a smile: "I built this powerful cannon of the Tang Dynasty. I originally hoped that the children of the Tang Dynasty could grow up bathing in the sunshine of peace. However, peace has never been It doesn’t fall from the sky, nor does it come from others’ charity, it can only be achieved by us soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fighting for it with our strength.”
"The laughter of these children is what I, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, want to defend!"
Li Tai's words made everyone who heard them, especially the government officials and his personal guards, excited.
The guard who was punished for copying words even raised his arms and shouted: "Defend the Tang Dynasty to the death!"
With him taking the lead, other people also stood up and followed Gao
Call out.
"Defend the Tang Dynasty to the death!"
"Defend the Tang Dynasty to the death!"
Under the city wall, many people inside and outside Guizhou City did not know what was happening, but many of them were people who moved from the Tang Dynasty. When they heard such passionate shouting, they all responded one after another.
The entire Guizhou City fell into a frenzy.
The only ones who were in a different mood were probably the group of soldiers who came from the Yanbei Protectorate to the commercial street market.
