Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 361 New Task Artificial Rainfall
Fang Yi went straight home, leaving Li You scratching his head speechlessly at home, because Li You really didn't know medical skills, and if the other party had an intractable disease, Li You could only do nothing to help him.

But if the other party thinks that Li You is unwilling to help, then it will be another troublesome matter. He slightly shook his head, and suddenly, a voice sounded in Li You's head:
"Ding, within half a year of triggering the system task, carry out an artificial rainfall, successfully get the return certificate, and fail to get Li Shimin's hatred value.!"

"puff!"

Li You was about to spurt out a mouthful of blood. When did this system introduce the punishment for mission failure again, and this punishment is so harsh, you get Li Shimin's hatred, this Li Shimin is the emperor, if you get his hatred, then you don't That's it.

What's even more outrageous is that it is necessary to carry out artificial rainfall within half a year?
Brother, this is the Zhenguan period, not the era of modern high-tech, what the hell kind of mission is this artificial rainfall, can it be completed.?

What is this called? But this reward is really too tempting. Hui Hui Pao. Listening to the name, you might think what kind of thing it is.
But what you don't know is that this return cannon is known as the first of the three cold weapons.

It should be regarded as the pinnacle of the ancient cold weapon manufacturing process. However, the Huihui Cannon is not a cannon. According to the records of the Song Dynasty, it "began to use fire", so many people on the Internet call the "Huihui Cannon" a veritable "cannon" with great power. Hit the "blossom bomb" and so on..

These views are unreliable. First of all, firearms were fully put into the battlefield after the middle of Ming Dynasty, and secondly, even the famous Ming and Qing Hongyi cannons (red cannons) fired solid bullets!
As the name of the Hongyi cannon implies, there is a word "Yi" in it, which means that the cannon was passed down from the West, and it is recorded in Portugal. The "Huihui Cannon" is historically recorded as a source of Persia, and it was introduced nearly 200 years earlier than the Hongyi Cannon. Year of Persia!

At that time, the technology in the Middle East naturally lagged behind that of Europe at the same time.As for whether there were "blooming bullets" in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the answer is that they really did!
However, most of these "flower bombs" and "gas bombs" are completed by "mortars" with short barrels.It can be seen from this that the probability of the huge return cannon hitting "blooming bullets" is almost zero.

The real Huihui cannon, so the name means that the word "Huihui" in it means Hui people (religion).

In the ancient times, the Han people in Northwest China called the Hui people "Hui Hui" (no derogatory meaning, just an ancient name), and "Hui Hui Pao" is actually a huge trebuchet, which hits huge boulders.How big is it?
It is recorded in the history books that it weighs 150 jin. Imagine that a 150 jin boulder is thrown to a height of more than ten to twenty meters, and then falls. The potential energy it gains is enough for the enemy to drink a pot.

There are records in Yuan history that this kind of stone can sink seven feet when it falls to the ground, which shows its great power.Its principle is very simple, which is to use the principle of leverage to send the boulder to the sky with heavy objects. This is a very ancient principle, but it has been lost now.

Huihui Pao, Mo Dao, and Divine Arm Bow are all lost cold weapons, and they are also known as the pinnacle of cold weapons.

In particular, the Huihui Cannon, according to the records in "Yuan History", is probably that after Mongolia destroyed Xixia and Jin, it turned to attack the Southern Song Dynasty.

The two sides held each other in Xiangfan for nearly six years, and the Mongolian army suffered heavy casualties.At this time, Kublai Khan realized that although the Southern Song Dynasty looked weak, it was more difficult to deal with than Jin and Xixia, so he sent envoys to Persia to obtain siege weapons.The King of Persia sent skilled craftsmen to drive to most of the capitals to close their doors to make cannons.

The "return cannon" was introduced.

The first battle was the Battle of Xiangfan. The Yuan army used the new weapon "Huihui Cannon" to easily break through Fancheng, and then slaughtered the city frantically.Guard Zhang Hanying, Fan Tianshun, Niu Fu and others all died in battle or committed suicide.The massacre of the city was revenge for the tenacious resistance of Fancheng in the previous five years, and it was also a warning to Lu Wenhuan, the guard of Xiangyang City, the deputy envoy of Jingxi pacification and the magistrate of Xiangyang: if he does not surrender, Xiangyang City will suffer the same fate!

Later, the Yuan army moved its artillery to Xiangyang.Based on careful observation of the terrain, they placed giant cannons in the southeast corner of Xiangyang City.

One day in February 1273, the city of Xiangyang suddenly "shocked the heavens and the earth", and saw Xiangyang Qiaolou instantly turned into powder, which "destroyed everything it hit, and fell seven feet into the ground".

Under the powerful offensive, "the city is raging", some generals over the wall and surrendered.

There are two paths before Lu Wenhuan: to resist to the death, then the only ending will be death, and tens of thousands of lives in the whole city will be lost; surrender, the lives of the soldiers and the people in the city will be safe, and he will be reused.

Lu Wenhuan was hesitant, and Pingzhang's political affairs, Ali Haiya, made an oath: everything promised by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, he would never break his promise.

With no strength to defend, no foreign aid, no soldiers and no food, and a broken heart, what is the best choice?
"There are guests who perish, and who will start to harm the country. Hundreds of battles are broken, and the three armies weep and say goodbye." The former heroes burst into tears, and the five-year-old Xiangfan Battle came to an end with the roar of the return cannon.

Why is the Battle of Xiangyang mentioned here? In fact, Xiangzhou in the Tang Dynasty was Xiangyang in the Southern Song Dynasty. This is a very great city, and there are many great people living in it. It's all the way to the end.

They are all heroes, and they are also heroes that Li You really admires.

The impregnable Xiangyang was captured by the return cannon, which is enough to show its power, so Li You is bound to win the return cannon, but the important question is how to do this artificial rainfall.

Li You looked outside speechlessly, and sighed slightly.

"Fifth brother, let's go!" Li Mingda ran out, saw Li You, grabbed Li You's hand, and let Li You go with her.

"What are you doing?" Li You didn't know what the little guy was going to do.

"The football match has started. Brother-in-law Xue's [-]st battalion won against Brother Luo's [-]nd battalion. They directly played against Uncle Su's [-]rd battalion. Sister Xiao Yan said you liked watching it the most, let me call you!"

"Oh!" After listening to Li Mingda's words, Li You also became interested: "Where is the venue for this competition?"

"It's right next to the bamboo house of the poor students. There is a lawn where they can play comfortably and let the students relax. So my brother-in-law built a playing field there, and it was all done at the request of you and fifth brother!"

"Ah, that's not bad, let's go and have a look!" Li You took Li Mingda's hand, went outside and asked directly, "Are you sitting in the front or the back?"

"Front.!"

Li You hugged Li Mingda on the big bar, and led Li Mingda to the Qujiang River, followed by Yaoyu's guards.

"Brother, our second battalion won't let you this time?"

A football field similar to a modern football field, some seats were placed on both sides of the football field, and the seats were already full of people who came to watch.

Among them are students from poor families, many people from Dunhuafang, and some people from other places.

Xue Rengui, Luo Jin, Su Dingfang, Zhou Likai, Huo Sheng... and others had already sat in the front seats.

In the back position, Quan Zhixi, Xiao Yan, Yueying, and Shao Yiyi were by Concubine Yin's side, and Chunniang and Xue Wang were also serving on the side. Some people must be surprised, why is this Shao Yiyi also there? .

Don't underestimate Shao Yiyi, although Shao Yiyi used to be Xi Jiu of Xianlang, but now she is the younger sister of bad handsome Zhang Jing, not to mention that ordinary people should look up to her, she is the eldest grandson Wuji, the prince Li Chengqian, Wei Wang Li Tai must also take a high look.

Knowing that Shao Yiyi's elder brother is Zhang Jing's Concubine Yin, of course she will love Shao Yiyi more. Not only did she hold Shao Yiyi's hand the first time she saw Shao Yiyi, she even asked to recognize Shao Yiyi as her goddaughter .

Could it be that Concubine Yin fell in love with Shao Yiyi at first sight? Don't talk about it, it's not because Shao Yiyi's brother is Zhang Jing.

But if it is said that Concubine Yin had a lot of selfishness at the beginning, but then Concubine Yin discovered that Shao Yiyi, a little girl, is very clever, good at talking, and can take care of others. Xiaozui learned that this little guy has a deep crush on Li You.

Also because of this reason, Concubine Yin is getting better and better towards Shao Yiyi, she will take it with her wherever she goes, and Shao Yiyi also does her best to accompany her, without any complaints.

"Why hasn't You'er come yet? If you don't come, I see that many people are already impatient. This is not good!" Concubine Yin looked at the noisy atmosphere at the scene, and was a little worried that her son would be questioned.

"Mother and Concubine, don't worry, I've asked my son to call my husband, and my husband can ride a bicycle, so it should be very fast.!" Quan Zhixi smiled and comforted her.

Concubine Yin also likes her daughter-in-law very much. She is beautiful, has a big picture, and can do everything for Li You's sake, which is very commendable.

"Okay, tell me. You'er, Zhinu, Sizi, why do they like bicycles so much? Yes, His Majesty also likes bicycles very much. I can often see them riding back and forth in the square of Taiji Temple.

The young slave even gave Ben Gong a ride. How did these two wheels ride? Ben Gong almost fell down! "

"Mother Concubine...!" Xiao Yan said with a smile: "It's very simple, just keep your balance, and I will ride it too. You can learn it in the afternoon."

"Really?" Concubine Yin looked at Xiao Yan with a smile.

On the other side, Chunniang glared at Xiao Yan again and again, but Xiao Yan didn't see her mother's eyes at all, but showed a very proud look, because the fact is that Xiao Yan's driving skills are the best in the field. OK.

"Oh my husband is here!" Yue Ying was delighted.

Then everyone saw Li You riding a bicycle and bringing Li Mingda over. After seeing Li You, everyone present shouted: "My Highness!!"

Li You listened to the bicycle, pulled Li Mingda to the side and shouted: "I'm getting tired of waiting, let's start the game!"

"Hoo!" With the sound of a wooden whistle, a football match in Datang officially started.
