"Quickly go and find out what Yu 'er has done. Tell me in detail!”
Li Shi Min said to the Golden Guards,
The explosion just now sounded extraordinary.
Li Shi Min had never heard of this before.
The officials were also surprised.
Wei Zheng said,"That voice was as muffled as thunder, but it's daytime now. It shouldn't be."”
Du Ruhui said,"The announcement hall shook just now. It's extremely unusual!"”
"Your Highness has been going in and out of the weapon workshop frequently these two years. Perhaps you've forged some new weapon."”
The discussion of the civil and military officials reached the ears of the Tibetan envoy.
He felt a little guilty and curious.
What made them feel guilty was that the Great Tang seemed to have developed a new weapon. From the sound of the explosion, it was likely that it was very lethal, and this was clearly very disadvantageous to the Tibetans.
What he was curious about was what kind of new weapon it was. It could actually cause such a huge sensation.
Very soon,
The Golden Guards that Li Shi Min had sent out returned and reported to him in a low voice.
Li Shi Min was shocked:
"Today, we will retreat first!"
After saying that, Li Shi Min rushed to the military camp.
The civil and military officials also felt that something was wrong. Wei Zheng and the others followed.
"Your Majesty Heavenly Khan, please consider the marriage between the two countries carefully. The people of Tubo are willing to make Princess Changle their queen!”
The Tibetan envoy still wanted to marry the Princess of Changle.
Li Shi Min was too lazy to respond and casually said,
"Seven days later, I will invite the envoys of the various countries to a banquet.”
After the court assembly is over,
The Tibetan envoy also secretly sent people to investigate the explosion just now.
And at this moment…
Li Shi Min had already arrived at the military camp.
He saw a deep pit on the flat ground in front of him and was dumbfounded!
There was a pungent smell of gunpowder in the air, like the smell of a Taoist priest refining pills.
"What…what's going on?" Li Shi Min asked in shock.
He was really worried that if he had come a step later, this military camp would have been torn down by Li Yu.
"I tested the Thunderbolt Bullet, and the effect was pretty good. Just now, more than a thousand Thunderbolt Bullets exploded together, and the power was extremely great.”
Li Yu said truthfully.
Originally, he wanted to teach the soldiers how to use thunderbolt bullets one by one.
However, the efficiency was too slow. Fortunately, everyone threw it together.
Li Yu also wanted to see how powerful the explosion of so many thunderbolts would be.
"Thunderbolt bullets? What is a Thunderbolt Bullet?" Li Shi Min asked in surprise.
His eyes lit up as if he had seen a treasure.
"To put it simply, these thunderbolt bullets are made by putting gunpowder in an iron box and throwing it out to explode and cause damage.”
Li Yu said simply. After all, there were still many details in this, and Li Er wouldn't understand even if he explained.
However, black gunpowder was first discovered by Taoist priests in alchemy. Moreover, it had already been invented in the Sui Dynasty, but it had never been used in the military.
Therefore, when Li Er heard that black gunpowder could actually have such great power, he was a little dumbfounded!
If they could equip the Tang army with this, wouldn't they be invincible?
"Yu 'er, do you still have these thunderbolt bullets? Let me try one.”Li Shi Min requested.
Li Yu took out one from his equipment bag and handed it to Li Shiming.
Li Shimin took the Thunderbolt Bullet and checked it. He pulled the fuse and said,
However, the fuse was locked and could not be pulled.
"Open the safety first." Li Yu reminded.
Li Shi Min operated the machine and pulled the fuse. The Thunderbolt Bullet began to release white smoke.
Li Shi Min was excited. He had succeeded!
"Throw it!" Li Yu urged.
Why did this Li Er make such a mistake at such a critical moment?
However, if Li Er really died at this time, would he be able to usurp the throne?
This thought flashed across Li Yu's mind.
But this would only help Crown Prince Li Chengqian ascend the throne faster, and it wouldn't do Li Yu any good.
Li Shi Min panicked when he heard Li Yu's urging. He reacted and immediately threw the Thunderbolt Bullet in his hand.
"Get down!"
Li Yu shouted to everyone.
All the officials were stunned on the spot, but when they heard Li Yu's shout, they all prostrated themselves in the trenches.
There was a loud bang, smoke filled the air, and the explosion was deafening!
Most of the civil and military officials did not cover their ears. They were stunned by this loud sound!
When they looked up, they saw a pit where the thunderbolt had landed.
This weapon was indeed powerful!
Li Shi Min was extremely excited, and the ministers were even more shocked.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. With the Thunderbolt Bullet produced by the little imperial grandson, the military strength of the Great Tang has risen to another level!”
Zhangsun Wuji was the first to stand up and praise him.
"Your Majesty, these thunderbolt bullets are much more powerful than knives and spears. Even bows and arrows may not be able to compare to them. However, they can be used for defense and offense.”
Li Jing saw through it and was very excited.
One had to know that ordinary swords and arrows could only attack one person at a time.
However, the Thunderbolt Bullet was an AOE weapon. It could be thrown in a large area.
This kind of weapon could play a huge role in a crowded battlefield!
"Yu 'er, how are these Thunderbolt Bullets made?”Li Shi Min asked with a smile.
He wanted to equip all the Tang soldiers with these thunderbolt bullets immediately.
" It's very dangerous to make this weapon. It needs to be produced in an extremely safe environment. There's only one weapon workshop in Chang 'an that produces this weapon.”
Li Yu wanted to take the opportunity to get some money from Li Shimin,
"If Imperial Grandfather wants to produce these thunderbolt bullets, you can allocate funds to build a large arsenal to produce and store these firearms.”
It would cost a lot of money to create the Military Fire.
Although Princess Changle's shop was ranked first in Chang 'an City and was earning a lot of money every day, Li Yu still wanted to hoard it and save as much as possible.
In any case, the Great Tang was in a prosperous era, and they didn't lack money, so they might as well extort more from Li Shiming.
Moreover, Li Yu wanted to research more gunpowder weapons, which could not be done without the support of the imperial court.
"Good! I approve! Get the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds immediately!"
Li Shi Min agreed generously.
He happily picked up another thunderbolt bullet and pulled the fuse.
"Your Majesty, quickly throw it!"
The ministers were all terrified, afraid that the thunderbolt would explode on the spot.
