Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 118 Advocating

Er, that black-faced man, you are definitely picking up the soft persimmons, and I didn't see Li Er reminding you, if you have the ability, give Li Er a slap on the back of the head!

Su Cheng was full of slander, but he didn't dare to speak out. If he really wanted to speak out, Li Er and the old thief Yuchi would drag him by one leg and tear him apart.

Su Cheng said helplessly: "Uncle Yuchi and other uncles, it's not that I forgot to remind you, you all know that the sound of this thing is as loud as thunder, do you still need to remind? Look at your majesty and empress, why don't you just cover them up?" Are your ears up?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "The ministers are stupid, not as many as your majesty and empress!"

Li Shimin clapped his hands and smiled, he didn't say a word about his performance just now, and accepted the flattery with peace of mind.

Su Cheng glanced at Li Shimin with a look of disdain, shameless.

Hou Junji said with a smile: "This thing does have limitations, but there is no perfect weapon in the world, and how to use it is for the generals. At least this thing is indeed a sharp weapon for defending the city."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "This is a powerful weapon for the country. I have decided to set up another prison as a bomb prison besides the five prisons. Su Cheng will be the supervisor, and the supervisor will be the third rank. It will not be under the jurisdiction of the three provinces and six ministries."

Changsun Wuji and others said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Three provinces, six ministries, nine temples, five supervisors and twelve guards. The five supervisors, Guozijian, Shaofujian, Jiangzuojian, Dushuijian, and Military Weapons Supervision, are known to Su Cheng. The emperor was able to set up a separate supervisor to make bombs, which shows that he attaches great importance to bombs. .

Su Cheng can become the chief official of an independent yamen at a young age, and it is directly under the emperor's control, which is considered to be a prosperous official.

However, what made Su Cheng very dissatisfied was that the name Bomb Supervisor was simply horrible, what taste did Li Er have.

Su Cheng quickly said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the root of bombs is gunpowder, and bombs are just the simplest way to play gunpowder."

Li Shimin immediately became interested when he heard it: "You said that bombs are just the easiest way to play gunpowder? Come and listen!"

"Cannons, and muskets!" Su Cheng said lightly.

Everyone was at a loss when they heard this, what are artillery and muskets?Run fast on fire?Gun point with fire?Is this a sideshow?

"Quick, tell me carefully!" Li Shimin wondered.

Su Cheng smiled while gesticulating: "Bombs made of jars are too simple, so they can only be thrown. If you throw them not far away, you have to calculate the distance, otherwise, if the jar is broken, it will not explode. You can use iron to make bombs, and then Build a launching device like this, which can shoot bombs hundreds of steps away, this is artillery!"

Hit a few hundred paces?

All the people present were killed on the battlefield, and they were very familiar with the battle, but they couldn't help but gasp when they imagined it for a while.

This thing called artillery is simply a sharp weapon for attacking the city, and it is also a sharp weapon for defending the city!

Hou Junji praised: "This thing is much more powerful than bombs!"

Yu Chigong patted his thigh and said: "This thing is simply a siege weapon. If we got it early, it would be easy to get through the tiger prison!"

This thing is much more powerful than a bomb!Li Shimin, who thought the bomb was awesome just now, suddenly looked down on the bomb, and waved his big hand and said: "Fuck! We must get this artillery out!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "The principle of artillery is generally known, but it needs to be tried slowly, and experienced craftsmen are needed."

Li Shimin excitedly said: "You can do it freely. The craftsmen will be sent to you from the military supervisor and general supervisor. If you lack anything, just report it!"

Su Cheng stroked his forehead and said: "No, what I want to express is that it is not appropriate to call it the Bomb Supervisor. It is better to change the name to the Firearms Supervisor."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Well, what you said is reasonable. Since the bomb is the simplest method, it is really inappropriate to call it a bomb supervisor, so let's call it a firearms supervisor according to your words! By the way, what are muskets?"

Su Cheng laughed and said: "In short, it means that the artillery is reduced to the point that it can be operated by one person. He is targeting bows and arrows, which only shoot small projectiles. It is not easy to train archers, and it is not easy to make bows and arrows. In addition, archery requires arm strength. , You will lose your arm strength after a few shots, but the musket is different, it is easier to train, and you can shoot continuously.”

The Central Plains army is naturally weaker than the grasslands in terms of bows and arrows, but muskets can make up for the weakness.

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Go, I want to do artillery, I want to do muskets, I want them both!"

"Let the Ministry of Industry choose a site to build a firearms supervisor. I will transfer the soldiers who have been exposed to bombs in Xiangcheng to fill the firearms supervisor. After the firearms supervisor is completed, Su Cheng, you should hurry up and make artillery and muskets for me. Give priority to it." artillery!"

Fang Xuanling quickly agreed, and Su Cheng said solemnly: "Master Fang, the firearms surveillance station must be built outside the city. You have also seen that this thing is afraid of fire and is very dangerous, so it must be hidden and fireproof. It is best to be bigger."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will send troops to guard it, this is my Tang's secret artifact!"

When he left the palace, Su Cheng was still a little slanderous, and Li Er was true, he contributed all the cannons and muskets, and Li Er didn't call Chang Le out to talk with him to express his parting feelings.

Su Cheng looked back several times, but there was no sign of Princess Changle at all. Although Princess Changle is good, Hui Zhenjing is sometimes too obedient, not as lively and active as Princess Gaoyang. If it were Princess Gaoyang, she would be bouncing around by now came out...

Wait a minute, what Princess Gaoyang, bah bah, I don't want Princess Gaoyang, he doesn't want to harvest a prairie.

By the time we returned home, it was already late at night.

With red sleeves for fragrance and plain hands for fragrant tea, Cui Mo asked worriedly: "Your Majesty called urgently, did you blame Uncle, did you?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "How come, I am the hero of this expedition."

Chuxue said happily: "That's right, that's right, Uncle is a great hero. When the army triumphs and His Majesty rewards you for your merits, the plaque on our mansion will definitely be replaced!"

It is certain to change the plaque, and the one who defeated the Turkic army, made the bomb, and presented the secret recipe for treating the wounded soldiers, the title will definitely be promoted.

"Do you think Uncle will be made a Marquis or a Duke?" Chuxue asked curiously.

Hongxiu was speechless: "Feng Gong? Uncle was conferred the title of Duke at such a young age? Oh my God!"

Cui Mo smiled and said: "Okay, you guys don't guess, don't talk about this kind of thing, it's not good for people to hear. It's late at night, you should go to rest too, uncle has been working hard all the way, what can you say?" Let's talk again."

After hearing this, Hongxiu and Chuxue stuck out their tongues and stepped back, Su Cheng leaned on the soft bed and sighed comfortably: "It's still comfortable at home!"

Cui Mo smiled and said: "Of course, the bitter cold and windy wind outside the Great Wall is heavy, uncle must not be able to eat well and sleep well, and there is not even a waiter around him."

Su Cheng pulled Cui Mo onto the bed, and said with a low smile, "It's fine if you don't eat well, the most important thing is to sleep well!"
