Just when Wu Xu was about to say something, a eunuch's sharp voice interrupted the conversation between the two of them, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, great joy, great joy......
Li Zhi and Wu Xu turned their heads to see that it was one of their cronies and eunuchs.The unhappy expressions of the two of them were relieved, and Li Zhi opened his mouth and asked, "Where does the joy come from?"
”The eunuch didn't dare to raise his head and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the Immortal True Monarch has broken the secret of the earth-shaking thunder......"
Li Zhi and Wu Xu were stunned when they heard it, and they couldn't believe what this eunuch said, the earth-shaking thunder, Li Lu covered it to death, Li Zhi and his dead father hadn't thought about this earth-shaking thunder over the years, but in front of Li Lu's counter-espionage agency, they all had a disgraced face, so they had no choice but to ask the Ministry of Industry to step up research on the secrets of the earth-shaking thunder.But what even those masters in the Ministry of Industry can't understand, how did the eldest son, an alchemist, make a breakthrough?
Li Zhi and Wu Xu obviously didn't believe it, "What you said is true?"
If there is half a lie, I will kill your head.....""
Your Majesty, Niangniang, of course it's ......true," the eunuch hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Didn't the Immortal True Monarch refine the pill for you and Niangniang, and inadvertently broke the secret of the earth-shattering thunder......
"Li Zhi is a medicine jar, in order to strengthen his body and live a little better, at the suggestion of Wu Xu, he found a Taoist priest called Changshengzi Daomen Wai Dan Sect to refine the pill for himself, because these pills are quite effective on Li Zhi, so Li Zhiyi was happy and sealed the immortal son of an immortal true monarch.Li Zhi and Wu Xu glanced at each other, a trace of ecstasy flashed in the eyes of both of them, with the earth-shaking thunder, that there was the capital to compete with the British army, "Go to Danxia Pavilion immediately, I want to reward the immortal true monarch well......"
When they arrived at the Danxia Pavilion, Li Zhi saw that the alchemy room of the Danxia Pavilion had turned into a pile of rubble, and the immortal son was as if he had just been dug out of the soil, he was overjoyed, it seems that the secret of the earth-shaking thunder should really be cracked, Li Zhi hurriedly stepped forward, "Zhenjun, I don't know .....""
Your Majesty, Poor Dao inadvertently broke the secret of this earth-shattering thunder....."
When the eldest son saw that it was Li Zhi, and he didn't care about the tattered Taoist robe on his body, he excitedly ran forward to show his merits.After listening to the narration of the elder son, Li Zhi understood what was going on, it turned out that when this immortal son was refining the pill for himself, he thought of a few recipes, he finished writing the recipe, and ordered his disciples to mix the several prescriptions of medicine powder they had configured, put them into the alchemy furnace, and then make a fire to refine them.The two disciples had just lit the fire, and they heard a loud bang, and the good Dan furnace exploded, and the two disciples who lit the fire were suddenly blown up and died on the spot.The eldest son was spared because he stood far away, but his face was black, his robe was tattered, and he was extremely embarrassed.He was stunned for a long time, slapped his thigh violently, and re-prepared the powder, this time, he only mixed a very small amount of medicine, and tried to use the lit incense to order the powder.The powder flashed with a dazzling light, and the dazzling fire rushed up, emitting a choking smoke.The eldest son was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst into wild laughter, "Hahahaha, this is the secret of the earth-shaking thunder, no wonder the power is so huge, and the name of gunpowder is really worthy of its name......
Poor Dao is going to get rich, make a fortune.......
"This can't help but be excited, the Tang Army and the British Army have fought repeatedly, and they have suffered big losses from the earth-shaking thunder, which makes Li Zhi Li Xiaojiu anxious, he offers a huge reward to the world, as long as someone can break through the secret of the earth-shaking thunder, it is not a problem to be promoted and make a fortune, this eldest son is a Taoist priest, and he is not envious of the promotion, but this fortune, Huang Chengcheng's small gold nuggets and white silver ingots he likes tightly."
Your Majesty, you see, this is the gunpowder configured by the poor Dao, and this gunpowder is the core secret of the earth-shaking thunder......"
Changshengzi took out the gunpowder he configured and let Li Zhi take a look, "But Your Majesty, although the poor Dao can configure gunpowder, it is quite different from the power of the British gunpowder......"
Li Zhi waved his hand, "Zhenjun, the recipe is broken, which is the problem of purification, you don't have to worry about this, show me the gunpowder you configured....."
After the "boom", Li Zhi looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahaha, Li Lu, didn't you achieve your prestige with some Xu gunpowder, now I also have gunpowder, I have a righteous name in my hand, you are just arrogating the top......
See how you've fought me?
”Li Zhi, Li Xiaojiu, your little gunpowder is just the most rudimentary powdered gunpowder, can it be compared to the granular gunpowder on Li Lu's side?
But Li Zhi didn't care about these at all, he immediately recruited Yang Wu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and asked him to immediately produce gunpowder in large quantities, and asked Yang Wu's Ministry of Industry to provide 10,000 muskets for the Tang Army within three months, to Li Zhi's surprise, Yang Wu shook his head again and again, "My Majesty, your request, even if the old minister fights hard, he can't do it, let alone 10,000 branches, even 1,000 branches, the old minister is enough to choke....."
Huh?
What did you say?
Is 1,000 enough?
Yang Wu, don't talk nonsense....."
Li Zhi's confidant Zhang Wenstork jumped out, "Is it possible, do you want to delay my plan to upgrade the weapons of the Tang Dynasty Division?"
”"Zhang Zhigui, you have less blood and spew......"
Yang Wu resolutely countered the attack of his political enemies, and then faced Li Zhi, "Your Majesty, it is not the old minister's delay, it is really the old minister's incompetence, although there is gunpowder now, but we don't have the real artillery, we can't know its structure, the musket, although there is a real thing, but Your Majesty, we have the best craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty, but to imitate a musket, it takes half a month, and the production cost of this musket is also very high....... you want the old minister to produce 10,000 muskets...
"Huh?
Yang Wu, what are you talking about?
It takes half a month for a musket?
”Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Then, how did Ying Wei equip muskets in large quantities?"
”"Your Majesty, this old minister knows a little bit about it, they are richer than us, and when the old minister was treating his illness over there, he dealt with several of their officers....."
Dai Zhide stood up, and he relieved Yang Wu of the siege, "According to those officers, what they pursue is to fight and make money......
There is also an old minister who heard that the military workshop of the British rebellion is similar to the name of the material worker of the Tyrant Qin......
"When Dai Zhide traveled in England, he heard about the assembly line and standardized operation of the factory, he didn't think there was anything unusual about it, didn't the tyrant Qin do it."
Now that Dai Zhide said this, the Tang elites present began to condemn Li Lu and his British, most of them were Confucian diehards, and when Confucianism mentioned the Qin Dynasty, the first reaction was to storm Qin.Yang Wu is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty, he and Dai Zhide are friends, to be honest, he really wants to implement that standardized operation on his own one-acre and three-third of land, but when he thinks of those trolls in Confucianism, Old Man Yang retreats.After Li Zhi heard this, he frowned, what can I do?
What Li Zhi and the Tang Wenwu ministers present may not know is that the gunpowder they are dispensing now is not purified to reach the level of gunpowder used by the British army, and Li Lu has the best formula ratio of black gunpowder in his hand, but they don't have it.In the end, it was Li Ji, the big leader of the military, who relieved the siege for everyone present, "Your Majesty, according to the old minister's understanding, when the British rebels were at the earliest, they didn't use muskets and artillery, they used catapults and rockets......
Now that we have gunpowder in our hands, we can make more sky-shaking thunders......"
Li Zhi adopted Li Ji's suggestion, and imitated the sky-shaking thunders that were no longer used by the British army in large quantities, and at the same time he recalled Xue Rengui, who served as the protector of Andong in Liaodong, back to Chang'an, "Xue Aiqing, I want you to serve as the general manager of the Luo Suo Dao march, escort Murong Zhong back to Hehuang, and help him restore the country, do you have the confidence to defeat the Xue Qinling who impersonated your Xue family?"
”Li Zhi looked at his love general and said."
Your Majesty, now that we have the earth-shattering thunder in our hands, then the generation gap between us and Ying Rebellion in weapons will be smoothed out, and the minister is confident that he will send the king of Xihai County back to his ancestral land..... as for that Tubo savage, hum ......"
Xue Rengui said confidently, Xue Li Xue Rengui, aren't you a little overconfident?
The British army is all using rifles and rifled guns, you just know what gunpowder is all about, and dare to say that it has smoothed out the generation gap?
