Tang Dynasty: What! My mother is actually Empress Zhangsun

Satisfied with putting away the musket, Li Nian ran over and said with pride on his face:

"Dad, how is it?"

Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"What is this thing that is so powerful!"

Seeing Li Shimin's horrified expression, Li Nian was very proud.

Although his father was not a high-ranking official, he was quite knowledgeable.

Although he didn't know what he did when he was young, he could guess it from the few words they talked about.

His father had really been on the battlefield!

He could face the execution without changing his expression, so he must have come out of the mountains of corpses and the sea of fire.

But facing this musket, he was shocked!

If he really went to the battlefield, what would the enemy's expression be?

You can imagine!

"Dad, this is called a fire gun, it is a new weapon that I made!"

Li Shimin handed over the fire gun, his face solemn, no longer contemptuous.

It was seventy steps to the willow tree, but he directly hit the half-man thick tree trunk and made a bowl-sized wound.

This is much more powerful than a bow and arrow.

He is a horse emperor, riding a horse on the battlefield for half his life, so he can see at a glance how powerful this thing is!

It is no exaggeration to say that this power has exceeded the comprehension of ordinary people, like a fairy-like means.

"How do you use this thing?"

Li Shimin asked anxiously.

"This is it!"

As he said this, he took out the gunpowder bottle in his arms, poured it into the gun barrel, stuffed the bullet into it, raised the gun and shot.

An explosion sounded, a puff of black smoke poured out of the muzzle, and the tree trunk was directly cut in half!

Taking a breath of cold air, Li Shimin was shocked beyond words.

After just a few operations, he saw the doorway.

This thing does not require complicated operations. As long as you are familiar with it, even ordinary people can use it.

This is too against the sky!

Any fighting skills are nothing in front of this thing!

With one shot, no matter how strong the soldier is, he will have to kneel!

As long as you hold this weapon, even a weak old soldier can kill a strong sergeant!

Too......

Li Shimin's mind was in a mess.

This thing was too advanced.

He was not mentally prepared to accept it.

Seeing that his father was silent, Li Nian said,"Dad, don't look at the power of this thing now, but it can be improved."

"However, I don't have any good craftsmen at hand, so I want to ask the Ordnance Department."

"If a skilled craftsman can modify it, the power can be greatly improved!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly felt confused.

It's not very powerful, and it can be improved?

Is this human language!

Not very powerful? Don't you want it to be more powerful?

Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin said solemnly:"Nian'er, is this thing really made by you?"

Blinking, Li Nian nodded and said:"Yeah!"

"This thing is too powerful, you must not let others know about it!"

Li Shimin's hands trembled a little, and his voice was hoarse and low.

If this thing spreads out, it will be a terrible disaster!

In the era of cold weapons, it is manpower that counts.

A small person, no matter how powerful, can't resist thousands of troops!

But this thing is different���Ah, as long as you are familiar with it and use it properly.

An old man can easily kill a strong soldier.

Wouldn't the world be in chaos?

The soldiers now eat the best food, which ordinary people can't match. In addition, with the corresponding formations and elite equipment, facing the unarmed civilians, it would be a one-sided massacre.

But if this thing gets out, the empire will fall into turmoil!

"Dad, don't worry."

Since Li Nian dared to create it, he naturally thought about the consequences.

"This thing is too powerful, I will not give it to anyone easily."

Seeing that Li Nian understood, Li Shimin was relieved.

"Dad, I'm talking about the Ordnance Department..."

He still wanted to continue to improve it, no matter if it would be useful or not, he would just try to figure it out.

And there was also the artillery, which was a powerful weapon against cavalry!

"Come with me, I'll follow you!"

After thinking it over again and again, Li Shimin nodded.

The two of them rode on horseback, went straight out of the city, and headed straight for Chang'an County.

Jingzhao Prefecture is not only responsible for Chang'an City, but also has jurisdiction over 22 counties including Lantian, Wugong, Chang'an, etc.

Chang'an County is not far from the capital, and the father and son rode their horses at full speed for more than half an hour and arrived.

They did not go straight to the county town, but went to the mountains and forests on the side.

Not long after, at the foot of the mountain, they saw a huge building crawling in front of them.

Pulling the reins, Li Nian looked at the densely packed buildings in front of him in surprise and asked,"Dad, where is this?"

"Aren't you looking for the Arms Department? It's right here!"

The wide road was covered with dust. As we got closer, we saw a checkpoint guarding the roadside.

Dozens of soldiers holding steel guns came forward to check as if they were facing a great enemy. (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

He casually threw a sign, and the soldier hurriedly passed through the checkpoint.

""What a strict guard!"

Li Nian was secretly surprised.

This camp was guarding the main road. On both sides of the camp, the bowstrings were already full of cold arrows.

If he made a slight move, he would be shot into a sieve immediately.[]

"This is the royal family's property.

The huge complex is very neat, as if it had been planned long ago, and is divided into areas.

"The cloth, silk, porcelain and ironware in the capital all come from here."

"Of course, the Armoury Department is also here. To make armoury, a lot of ore and craftsmen are needed. You can't find such a large place in the city."

After hearing Li Shimin's explanation, Li Nian looked at everything in front of him in shock.

This is a huge industrial park!

Each area has its own duties and supports the huge royal family.

He underestimated the ancients. He never thought that the ancestors had already started industrialized large-scale production.

There were not many people coming and going on the wide stone road.

Even if there were craftsmen escorting materials, there would be soldiers accompanying them to monitor.

After all, they serve the royal family, and there can be no mistakes.

Carrying Li Nian to the Armoury Department, Li Shimin threw out the waist badge again, and the originally indifferent guards immediately became respectful.

"Bring the best craftsman here. I want to ask him questions!"

Li Shimin didn't come to this kind of place often.

He was busy with his work and dealt with military and national affairs. The soldiers here were rotated every six months. Of course, no one recognized him and only thought he was a superior who came to inspect.

""I get your orders!"

The Arms Department was very large, covering nearly ten acres.

When I first entered this huge mansion, I felt a little dull.

This was the residual heat from the burning iron furnace.

Looking around, I saw a dozen huge rooms, without doors, just surrounded on three sides.

Huge furnaces were burning, and countless shirtless men were wielding hammers, with hammering sounds coming one after another.

The father and son watched with interest, and soon, the sergeant brought a man

"Shangguan, this is the best craftsman here.

The craftsman was about 40 years old, shirtless, with arms that were unusually strong and red-faced. It was obvious that he often worked in front of the furnace, so he had this complexion.

"Old Yang, these two are superiors from the capital. You must tell them everything they know when they ask you questions!"

The soldier whispered.

"I understand, I understand!"

The man smiled naively, rubbed his hands, and said respectfully:"I wonder what the two superiors want to see me for?"

Li Nian got straight to the point, took out the musket from the box, and handed it to the other party.

"Can you make this thing?" After taking a closer look, the man said,"This thing is not difficult, I can make it."

693 After that, he continued,"Although I don't know what this thing is used for, I can see that the craftsman who made it has very rough craftsmanship. I can make it more delicate."

Hearing this, Li Nian couldn't help but nod secretly.

The ancient craftsmen were really good.

They didn't even see the drawings, but they could imitate them with just a rough look.

This ability is unparalleled!

"So, can you make this thing?"

As he spoke, Li Nian took out the blueprint from his arms.

It was the artillery blueprint he had drawn a long time ago. Although it was very rough, the general idea was clearly expressed.

"this...Yes!"

The man pondered for a moment and nodded repeatedly.

"You can do this too?"

Li Nian widened his eyes and said in confusion:"Do you know what this thing is for?"

The man rubbed his hands with a silly smile and said:"I don't know"

"But your Excellency has drawn it in great detail. Give me half a month and it should be done!"

The sergeant at the side also hurriedly explained:"Shangguan, don't underestimate Yang Pan, he is our chief composer."

"Whatever it is, you only need to take a look at it to understand it."

"Don't be fooled by his sturdy appearance, he is very deft, he made a wooden dragonfly that can fly in the sky!"

Li Nian couldn't help but give a thumbs up when he heard it.

Awesome!

PS: This Yang Pan is the grandfather of Yang Wulian, a skilled craftsman in the Tang Dynasty. Yang Wulian was a great man who made a wooden robot that looked like a monk, holding a bowl and begging by himself. His grandfather's name could not be found here, so I made up a tool man.

In addition, the foreshadowing of the northern expedition to the Turks and the envoys from the Western Regions coming to Beijing was laid, and the next plot will probably be about this aspect, and,���The identity of the second one is about to be exposed.
