"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly!" Li Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows.
Mo Xiaohu said reluctantly: "In addition to ordinary guns and cannons, there are also landmines and grenades."
"what is that?"
"To put it simply, a landmine is placed on the ground and explodes when stepped on. A grenade is thrown and explodes. It is not a problem to kill five or six people at a time."
"So strong! Why didn't Lao Fang take it out earlier?" Li Yuanzhao was overjoyed.
"There are still some problems with this mine, and the triggering success rate is not very high. As for the grenade... you have to use a fire stick to light the fuse before throwing it out. Our master said it is not perfect and needs to be studied further."
"Damn! What a bitch, Lao Fang! You didn't tell me about such an awesome thing...Wait a minute!" Li Yuanzhao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, got close to Mo Xiaohu's face, narrowed his eyes and asked: "Hidden so deeply , did you get the artillery and guns a long time ago? When did you get it, tell me honestly!"
Mo Xiaohu's face was pale, he pressed his lips tightly and took two steps back.
"If I don't say that I won't be able to enjoy the fruit without you, I will ask Lao Fang to give you to me as a companion for my son." Li Yuanzhao said with ill intentions.
Facing Li Yuanzhao's pressing step by step, Mo Xiaohu said with cold sweat: "Five or six years...seven or eight years?...I can't remember clearly..."
"Fuck!!!" Li Yuanzhao yelled and said excitedly: "Lao Fang is so fucking worthless. If I were him, I would rebel against him!"
Mo Xiaohu: "..."
What kind of rebellion are you doing? You really don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are. In the early years, those cannons were made with a tight belt, and the raw materials were bought from other places. Isn’t it nice to live a good life?
"Lao Fang is so damn brave. Even ten heads are not enough for him to fall." Li Yuanzhao pinched his chin, raised his eyes and glanced at Mo Xiaohu again, pointed at him and said: "You kid is not strict with your mouth. ! Just talk to me about this matter. If you dare to go out and yell with others, I will let you be my companion!"
"No yelling, absolutely no yelling!"
Mo Xiaohu shook his head fiercely, crying silently in his heart.
If I didn't know what your relationship is with our master, I wouldn't be able to tell you even if I were killed!
Li Yuanzhao said regretfully: "Since the internal test failed, just take as many grenades and mines as you can, and report them as many as you can."
"There are not many landmines, more than twenty. Grenades..." Mo Xiaohu suddenly fell silent.
"How many grenades are there?" Li Yuanzhao asked eagerly.
"Five hundred boxes, twenty pills each."
"..." Li Yuanzhao was dumbfounded on the spot.
Five hundred boxes, ten thousand pills! One bomb can kill five or six people, and five hundred boxes can kill 50,000 or 60,000 people?
"Didn't he fail the damn internal test? Tell me the truth, don't make a single mistake!" Li Yuanzhao said in surprise.
Mo Xiaohu's face was dull. In order to prevent being a companion, he had already broken the pot: "It's because the internal pricing test failed. The master said that although it is incomplete... not perfect, the Ministry of War will accept it. And the county is poor, so it needs to make more ordnance to sell. money, and strive to get rid of the poverty-stricken county within 50 years.”
The county is poor...a poor county? Is this how he positions Taoyuan County?
The corners of Li Yuanzhao's mouth twitched.
This is really what Lao Fang does.
But with 500 boxes of grenades and 3,000 Jinyiwei elite soldiers, why don’t I walk sideways on the grassland?
Thinking of this, Li Yuanzhao began to breathe heavily, stepped forward, grabbed Mo Xiaohu's collar, and said excitedly: "Is there any more? Is there any more? There must be other treasures hidden, right? Defective ones are fine too!"
"There is a defective product...iron shoes filled with gunpowder. When you kick someone, you use a pull cord to trigger it, and the soles of the shoes can explode. It is not very powerful, but it will be useful if you add some poison."
"Hey! What a useless thing. Who can wear iron shoes?" Li Yuanzhao asked doubtfully, "Is there any more?"
Mo Xiaohu was on the verge of crying, "It's gone! It's really gone... The Firearms Institute is still developing new firearms, but they are not practical."
"Your Highness, if you insist on looking for it, go find Wang Meng. I heard that that guy has plague in his hands... maybe it can be used."
"Huh!?" Li Yuanzhao looked strange, "What did you say, plague?"
"Ah... there was a plague in a small village near Gyeonggi Province the year before last. Wang Meng knew about it and collected some pus and blood from patients for research. He came back and said that the thing could infect the plague... This thing is good at fighting! The army is densely packed with people. , passed from ten to ten, isn’t it much easier to use than firearms?”
"Uh..." Li Yuanzhao showed a disgusted expression: "Wang Meng is too perverted!"
"Our master also said so. Those jars of pus and blood that I asked him to be destroyed, I guess Wang Meng must be hiding! He is more courageous than a donkey's egg. He is not a normal person."
"Forget it, this thing is harmful to Tianhe. What should I do if it gets loose? Besides, can it still be used after being stored for almost two years?" Li Yuanzhao curled his lips.
From now on, you have to stay away from that guy Wang Meng. No, you have to find Lao Fang to educate him. Isn't this unscientific and crazy?
Mo Xiaohu said aggrievedly: "Your Highness, I have handed over all the information I should give, and there is nothing left. If you really see me, don't tell me what I told you. Just tell me what you saw in Taoyuan County, sir." I didn’t hide it from you, you can just wander around in Taoyuan County, and they have all moved to Dongjiao University one after another.”
Li Yuanzhao waved his hands and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, no one is stricter than me! You did a good job, I will give you a big credit!"
"Follow up, you follow my arrangements. I will write a petition of allegiance in a while, saying that I am willing to lead the attack on the Kingdom of Jin. You can take my handwriting and contact Jin Yiwei one by one in private to sign and stamp it. Tomorrow at the latest Just leave it to me.”
"Tomorrow, I will go to the Emperor Father with a petition. When the time comes, I will show off my martial arts skills. If he agrees, he will have to agree, and if he doesn't, he will have to agree!"
...
The next day, at the door of the imperial study.
Li Yuanzhao took a deep breath while holding the petition.
My father had been busy discussing the war regulations from yesterday to morning. Unexpectedly, all meals were arranged in the imperial study room.
I guess I am eating while reviewing, so I can have some alone time.
After a while, go in and say hello first, be a little more respectful, then do the bidding, and finally hand over the petition and express your wishes and it should be done.
No, that's not right! This is war time! You should act arrogantly, throw the petition on the table when you enter, and then ask with great aura to go to the battlefield with you.
If he starts to think about it and then responds with emotion and reason, my father is already on the battlefield at my age, so there is no reason not to let me go! If that doesn't work, just say that you admired your father when he was young... Hey, what did Lao Fang say?
....
Li Yuanzhao finished the draft and mustered up the courage to knock on the door of the imperial study.
Entering the house, Emperor Jing was indeed eating and reading memorials.
When he entered the door, Emperor Jing only glanced sideways and said in a calm tone: "What's the matter?"
Li Yuanzhao's face fell, and he showed a flattering smile: "Father, my son has come to say hello."
"Well, let's go back."
"..." Li Yuanzhao hesitated for a moment, carefully handed over the petition, and whispered: "My son..."
"No need to say any more. If I ask you to supervise the country, you must supervise the country honestly. If you say one more word, you will be banned from the East Palace!"
"???"
...
