Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 333: Bombarding Xuanwu Gate to Shock the Tang Dynasty

"Thank you for your help, brothers. After this is done, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Li Shimin, who was covered in blood from killing, saw his brother-in-law leading those good fighters, and hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude.

This is a critical moment and he can no longer care about his face.

If the people from the East Palace killed him, all his efforts would be in vain.

If he fails, there will be only one outcome, and that is death without a burial place.

As for the question of who the throne would be passed to since the old man in the family had no heir, it was not something he considered.

The eldest child has not been dealt with yet. At worst, the old man can skip his son and choose his grandson. This kind of thing is not impossible.

The people in the Eastern Palace are betting so hard on this.

Their future all depends on the Eastern Palace. Once the Eastern Palace loses power, their fate can be imagined.

"No need to thank me, we'll be family from now on."

Zhu Houzhao, carrying a submachine gun, waved his hand with a generous look on his face.

He is the emperor, what else can the other party thank him for?
He had no shortage of gold, silver, and jewelry, and even if he did, Li Shimin couldn't afford it.

Not to mention the titles and official positions, although Zhu Houzhao liked being a general, he was not used to being someone else's subordinate.

own people.

Li Shimin's heart moved. He thought that these people must be here to seek refuge with him.

"Thank you very much."

He didn't say anything more, because no matter how much he said, he wouldn't do anything practical.

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao had finished discussing with Li Shimin, Zhu Zhanji, the leader of the team, waved his hand and said, "Try to injure them as much as possible, but don't take their lives, so as to avoid disputes in the future."

Zhu Zhanji's idea was simple.

After all, these people will be soldiers under Li Shimin in the future. Even if they will not be used, they are still people of the Tang Dynasty. If they are killed by people from the Ming Dynasty, and there are any mistakes in the future, Li Shimin will not be able to find them and can only blame them.

Following Zhu Zhanji's command, he and Zhu Houzhao each led a few people and fired a burst of shots with submachine guns and pistols.

"Oh no, it's those people again."

Hearing the gunshots again, the team leader Feng Li's face changed.

He looked around and saw several carriages. His eyes lit up and he shouted, "Quickly push the carriages to block the way. No matter how powerful their weapons are, they can't destroy the carriages."

The East Palace reinforcements, who were struggling to resist the gunfire, suddenly felt reassured.

Some people held up shields to block, while others rushed towards the carriage in a hurry.

"Quick, stop them, don't let them get close to the carriage."

Li Shimin also discovered the situation and quickly ordered Yuchi Gong to stop the people from the Eastern Palace.

"No need!"

Zhu Zhanjun appeared beside him at some point, and when he saw Li Shimin was about to order people to seize the carriage, he smiled and waved his hand.

As the people in the Prince Qin's Mansion were puzzled, he waved towards a high place.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a young man who had climbed onto a roof at some point, carrying a long pipe on his shoulder.

"Keep your breath steady and aim at the target!"

Zhu Qizhen muttered the formula in a low voice and slowly aimed the ruler at one of the carriages.

After making sure that there was no problem, he pressed the launch button hard.

"Whoosh!"

As everyone was confused, curious and shocked, a strange object suddenly flew past their eyes and dived into the carriage.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Flames and explosions rose up instantly, and a powerful shock wave carried fragments of the carriage and flew around.

Some of the soldiers from both sides who were fighting nearby were unable to dodge and were stabbed all over their bodies and faces. They fell to the ground wailing.

"hiss!"

There was a sound of people sucking in cold air in their ears.

Zhu Zhanjun turned around and saw Li Shimin and the elegant middle-aged man, their eyes wide open, staring at the destroyed carriage.

"What is this thing? It's so powerful, is it a magical weapon?"

After all, Li Shimin was an emperor and he quickly came to his senses. He swallowed secretly and looked at Zhu Zhanjun expectantly.

He really wanted the other party to say that this was an ordinary thing, the kind that anyone could operate.

Zhu Zhanjun smiled slightly: "This weapon is called a single-soldier rocket launcher. It is a weapon held by ordinary soldiers. Its main task is to destroy important enemy targets or solid city walls and fortresses."

"Ordinary soldiers can use it!" Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his voice a few notches.

"Excuse me, sir, how much is the price?" the elegant man also asked.

Zhu Zhanjun thought for a moment and replied, "According to the Tang Dynasty's price, this weapon would cost about five strings of coins. One rocket would cost nearly two strings of coins."

The two of them breathed a little faster, and Li Shimin said excitedly: "So, if you want to get one, you need to pay seven strings of money."

Zhu Zhanjun shook his head. "We have to make money too. The price we sell to the public is 28 guan. If you add the shipping fee and door-to-door delivery service, the price of a set is about 36 guan. If the distance is too far, we may increase the price even more."

"I can earn five or six times the price for one transport trip. Why is it so expensive?"

The price was acceptable at first, but when Li Shimin heard the subsequent price, he became a little unhappy.

He also wanted to purchase a large batch of equipment for the Tang army, but the price was too high.

With a slight turn of his eyes, Li Shimin suddenly had an idea in his mind.

He felt like he was being a bit foolish.

It’s free, why do you have to spend money to buy it?
The young man in front of him was only about 80 or 18 years old. Although his daughter Changle was a little younger, for a man, marrying a girl of at was not too young, so this age difference was nothing. This young man looked like the leader. If he was taken as a son-in-law, wouldn't he have as many powerful weapons as he wanted?

Having made up his mind, Li Shimin stopped asking about the price and turned to look at the shocked battlefield.

A rocket was fired, and the entire battlefield became quiet again.

Apart from the wailing of the wounded, everyone stared blankly at the carriage that was blown apart.

In their cognition, apart from gods, it is impossible to imagine what kind of creature can cause such great destruction.

"Look here."

Just as everyone was staring at the carriage in a daze, a shout suddenly came from above their heads.

When everyone looked up, they saw the young man standing on the roof raising the horrible thing again and pointing it at the crowd.

"Mom! Run, they are monsters!"

I don't know who shouted, but the person in the targeted area.

Whether it was the troops from the Eastern Palace or Li Shimin's army, they all scattered and ran to a safe place.

Zhu Qizhen's mouth corners were grinning, like a radar, he would go to the side with more people.

"Why don't you surrender quickly? I can guarantee here that as long as you choose to surrender, I will forgive you for what happened in the past."

"I can still use those who are capable and have made contributions."

Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Shimin immediately stepped forward and made a promise.

When the two sides heard this, they stopped and looked at Li Shimin hesitantly.

"Hurry up, hurry up, as long as it is done, your guilt can be forgiven."

Just as the East Palace's army was hesitating, a group of people rushed over from a distance.

These people were all wearing prison uniforms, with fierce eyes and various swords in their hands, running towards them aggressively.

Many people recognized the leader, who seemed to be Gao Shilian, the uncle of the Princess Qin.

"Our reinforcements have arrived. You have no chance. I will advise you to lay down your weapons for the last time. I will forgive you for what happened."

When Li Shimin saw the reinforcements coming, his eyes suddenly lit up and his voice became several times louder.

"Ding Dong!"

I don't know who dropped his weapon first, but the other people from the Eastern Palace and Prince Qi's Palace also silently dropped their weapons.

"call!"

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at his elder brother-in-law, Hou Junji and others around him, and smiled.

“It’s done!”

Zhu Zhanjun, the old man and others on the side couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

From this day on, the Tang Dynasty opened a new chapter and entered the powerful and glorious Zhenguan Era.

I also felt honored to have witnessed the Xuanwu Gate Incident with my own eyes.

Although they didn't see the beginning, this perfect ending left them with no regrets.

After all, not everyone can witness these major historical events with their own eyes.

"Prince Li, congratulations."

Zhu Zhanjun bowed to Li Shimin and congratulated him.

Hearing the name "Prince Li", Li Shimin was overjoyed, but he waved his hands modestly.

"Brother Zhu, what are you talking about? Who gets to be the crown prince is decided by our father. Besides, I am only trying to clean up the government, and I have no other intentions at all."

"hehe."

Looking at the other party's hypocritical appearance, Zhu Zhanjun smiled back.

Old Zhu and the old man on the side also rolled their eyes secretly.

The old man was even more disdainful in his heart.

But when I think about it, it seems like he was the same back then.

Although I am extremely anxious and want to sit in that position, I still have to be humble and give way.

"Thank you for your help, everyone. Please go to the Prince Qin's Mansion and sit for a while. I will take care of some things and then go back to give you 300 cups of wine."

As the troops from the Eastern Palace and the Prince of Qi's Palace surrendered, Li Shimin, with a flushed face, bowed and thanked them again, and then invited Zhu Zhanjun and others to go to the Prince of Qin's Palace to rest.

Although Zhu Zhanjun really wanted to go in and see how the emperor was forced to abdicate, this kind of thing was ultimately something that was not pleasant to do, and it was inappropriate for outsiders like them to be present.

"Okay then, we will go to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to rest first, and congratulate Crown Prince Li here first."

Zhu Zhanjun smiled, bowed, and accepted the other party's invitation.

"Wuji, take the brothers back to the Qin Palace to rest first, and treat them well. Don't neglect them."

Li Shimin called the middle-aged scholar over and gave him a few brief instructions.

When Zhu Zhanjun and others were not paying attention, he leaned close to Changsun Wuji's ear and whispered something in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will make good arrangements."

After listening to this, Changsun Wuji sighed in his heart, nodded, and agreed.

"Gentlemen, follow me first!"

Changsun Wuji walked forward with a smile and invited Zhu Zhanjun and others. They did not refuse and nodded and followed him to the Prince of Qin's Palace.

Instead of riding in a carriage or on a horse, Zhu Zhanjun wanted to appreciate the scenery of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

This is the beginning of the Celestial Empire and one of the most powerful and prosperous periods in the history of the Yanhuang people. If you have the chance to see it, you naturally don’t want to miss it.
