The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 785 Demonstration and Shock

But there is no way around it. At this juncture, even if Xuan Shijing loses, he can't lose too badly. If the Fubing is not an all-in-one enemy against the Shangxuanjia Army, he must follow the trend when he arrives in Liaodong , In the end it was nothing more than mediocrity, which was not in line with Xuan Shijing's original intention.

These government soldiers who have just walked out of the training camp in Dongshan County are single-handedly fighting one-on-one against the Xuanjia Army. In other words, Xuan Shijing is confident that these soldiers will not lose to any of the sixteen guards, and they are also good enough to be the head of the army if they are placed among the left and right guards.

Time passed little by little, and three hours is not a short time. I arrived at the camp of the Eastern Suburb Hunting Ground early in the morning, and I must have lunch here. When I come out this time, His Majesty Li Er will prepare There is enough food, and there is nothing left to make a fire and cook. I even brought the imperial cook from the palace, and I will enjoy it, and all the ministers can also feast on it. After all, there is never a shortage of hunting grounds in the eastern suburbs Meat.

The royal chef went to the back to prepare meals for His Majesty Li Er and the other ministers, and His Majesty Li Er came here today with such high spirits, obviously not just to see the result of this competition.

"Zhuqing, a few days ago, Jing'er entered the palace and presented a treasure to me. She said it was a dish for Goguryeo. I saw it. It was indeed a very delicious dish. For the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, this was a surprise. , use it well, the matter of Liaodong will get twice the result with half the effort." His Majesty Li Er said.

His Majesty Li Er's words successfully aroused the curiosity of many ministers, and they all whispered to each other to guess what strange thing Xuan Shijing had come up with this time.

"Deyi, let someone take out the things." His Majesty Li Er ordered Deyi beside him.

"No." Deyi responded, and then retreated. After a while, two soldiers of the Royal Forest Army came out carrying a large box.

"This is a gift from the Marquis of Dongshan, a good thing prepared for Goguryeo." His Majesty Li Er smiled: "Now, I will ask you to demonstrate it to your loves. After you have seen it, you will know the magical effect of this thing." gone."

The box was opened, and the eyes of all the ministers fell on the inside of the box. There were oil paper packages the size of a cold melon, and it was impossible to see what was inside, but what use could such a small thing be, so His Majesty praised it so much? .

His Majesty Li Er signaled the Imperial Forest Army to take out these oiled paper bags, move them two hundred steps away from the camp, dig a hole and bury them.

Now that the lead wire has been made, it is naturally sent to the palace, so to detonate these explosives this time, there is no need to sprinkle black powder on the ground like Xuan Shijing, and directly lead it to a distance with the lead wire, and then ignite it. up.

"This thing is put too much, and the lethality is very huge." His Majesty Li Er smiled, and after a while, the Imperial Forest Army spread the lead wire not far away. His Majesty Li Er got up, took the torch from the guards, and went up personally. Before igniting the fuse.

A string of sparks ignited and ignited along the fuse to the oiled paper bag in the distance.

After a while, there was a loud bang, and a big crater was blasted out on the ground in the distance. His Majesty Li Er, who was prepared in his heart, was also surprised by this movement. , the portion is quite sufficient.

These ministers had never seen or even heard of black powder before. After the explosion, a large group of people froze in place in an instant. Buzzing.

This... This thunder is not louder than this one.

It was Li Jing who was the first to react. After all, he was the god of war, a person who did not change his face when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

"Your Majesty, do you dare to ask this?" Even a low-key person like Li Jing couldn't help being curious when faced with such a killer weapon as gunpowder.

"This is the treasure that Jing'er dedicated to me. I plan to take this thing to Liaodong." His Majesty Li Er said with a smile.

"Good thing, good thing." Cheng Yaojin, who had reacted, couldn't help but rubbed his hands and smiled, looking at the remaining explosives in the box, his eyes had already started to glow: "It's really a **** weapon on the battlefield, Your Majesty What you said is absolutely right, with this thing, the war in Liaodong will be more effective with half the effort."

Li Xiaogong also nodded while stroking his beard, while Changsun Wuji gave Xuan Shijing a complicated look.Standing beside Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling thought carefully about what Fang Yiai said to herself two days ago.

Fang Yiai said that it is okay to go to Liaodong, and now it is confirmed that Xuan Shijing will also go to Liaodong. There is a tacit understanding in it.

Now it seems that letting Fang Yiai and Xuan Shijing continue to partner together is obviously not harmful to Fang Yiai.

"This thing is indeed a good thing for my Tang soldiers." After thinking about the usefulness of this thing, Wei Zheng also praised it: "Xuanhou can really bring surprises to people."

Xuan Shijing smiled: "Actually, Xiaohou also discovered this thing by accident. Before, the adults also knew that when Xiaohou was in the Western Regions, he was with Daoist Yuan Shoucheng and had a lot of contact with Taoism. Talking about the Taoist alchemy technique, I think everyone has heard that Taoist alchemy occasionally has a frying furnace. In fact, this is not some kind of punishment against the sky, but those Taoists, unintentionally, refining out These black gunpowder, the world is not short of any strange and good things, it is just that they lack a pair of eyes to discover them. If someone pays attention to it because of this, maybe today's great credit will not fall on Xiao Hou. gone."

When Xuan Shijing said these words, people couldn't help but feel a little bit of sigh, what he said was the truth, this black powder was a good thing for Datang, and it was a great achievement to discover this black powder, but this matter It’s very commonplace on weekdays, but no one pays attention to it. As a result, Xuan Shijing discovered it. When I said this, it made people feel that it’s a pity. If I paid attention to it on weekdays, maybe it’s a big day The credit falls on himself.

After the gunpowder was demonstrated to everyone, it brought a lot of shock to everyone. Of course, I also regretted that the credit was not my own. The battle in Liaodong was obviously not started yet. Dongshan Hou Xuan Shijing was already in this battle. Taking advantage of the opportunity, no one can match the contribution of gunpowder alone.
