799 The Deterrence
On the eighth day of February, at the time of Mao, Yuan Jaw and Xiaobi finally returned to Chang'an. They hurried back all the way from Yangzhou. Even the cast iron guns given by Li You were transported by carriages. Only in this way can they rush faster. If you come back, it might take ten days before you can return.
This is what Yuan Jaw meant. Xiaobi naturally had to follow. This trip to Luzon made Yuan Jaw feel unusually pressured. He didn’t believe what Li You said, he wouldn’t come out if he stayed in Luzon. No one would believe it, even Xiao Bi had reservations about these words.
After entering the city, Xiao Bi and Yuan Ja did not go anywhere, and went straight to the imperial city. They still need to report the information obtained during this negotiation to Shang Shu for saving.
In the side hall of the Zhengshitang, Li Linfu saw the two of them, and then asked about the result, "What is the result of your talks with Li You?"
Xiao Bi didn't say anything, naturally only Yuan Jai spoke. He said: "Right, there is no result. Li You is unwilling to return to the king. He also said that if the court continues to entangle, he will lead the army to attack Datang and reach Chang'an. ."
When Li Linfu heard what Yuan Jai said, his face turned green, and he yelled at Li You Langzi's ambition, but Xiaobi, no matter what Li Linfu said, he didn't say a word.
Li Linfu is indeed a little angry, but Yuan Jaw doesn’t care what he thinks now. He hasn’t finished his words yet. The next thing to say is the most important thing. He went on to say: “Right, Li You is not a lie. The firearms are enough to destroy the strength of the dead and defeat the elite of the Tang Dynasty, and Li You also gave two of them, and asked me and Xiao Shi Lang to pass on the right to the court. There is also one thing that Li You and the imperial concubine said face-to-face, that is, Cheng Wang Nai Li You’s parents and children are not of royal blood. It is for this reason that Li You will take away the imperial concubine mother and child.
Li Linfu looked at Yuan Ja in surprise. He didn’t expect Yuan Ja to say these words. This was indeed beyond his expectations. Regardless of what Li You madly said, the matter of becoming a king alone was enough for him. Slowly thought about it.
Slowly, Li Linfu looked at Xiaobi, then at Yuan Jai, and then slowly said: "The matter of becoming a king should not be passed on, so as not to embarrass the first emperor. As for this firearm, Commander Yuan, is it so powerful?"
Yuan Jai arched his hands and said: "The right person, Li Youxiang sent him to let the right person see it. The power of this firearm, the right person will know if you try it."
"Well, let Habayashi prepare the inner school field. I'll check it out later."
"Youxiang, then I'll make arrangements." Yuan Ja left, and Xiaobi was left here.
At this point, Li Linfu smiled again and said: "Sergeant Xiao, you really have a good son-in-law, yes, very good, there is nothing wrong here, you can go back."
Xiao Bi retired after a salute, still looking a little worried, and what worried him was what Li Linfu said just now. He didn't know what Li Linfu's words meant.
As far as Li Linfu is concerned, Li You dares to release the rants about destroying the Tang Dynasty, and he dares to show his military power. It must not be as simple as casually, and regardless of whether Li You really has this ability, as long as the battle begins, the pair For Datang, there is no benefit, after all, it is best not to fight.
As for the Xiao family, it is nothing more than a bargaining chip. Now that Li You sends weapons, you can’t just look at it as a way to let yourself understand the power of firearms more intuitively. In essence, this is already Li You’s effective response. Because if the firearms were really powerful, Datang could imitate them. This would be regarded as Li You's concession. Li Linfu could still understand this.
If he kept staring at the Xiao family again, he would undoubtedly want to start a war with Li You. Naturally, Li Linfu would not do such a thing. His qi training skills were pretty good. Although he was somewhat unhappy in his heart, he was still sober and sensible. Since Li You is not a threat for the time being, there is no need to provoke him.
In the campus of the imperial city, before Yuan Jaw had finished his preparations, Li Linfu came, along with him, Si Zheng from the Department of Ordnance and several craftsmen. Regarding the Wu Bei team, Li Linfu needs someone to evaluate, and the doorway, these people should be able to understand at a glance.
After Li Linfu waited for a quarter of an hour in the school grounds, Yuan Jai started shooting. Since the barrel of the musket was given to him two, he could only fire two shots in a row. New Bayi Chinese website debut
When the target forty feet away was lifted in front of Li Linfu, he didn't need anyone to tell him how powerful the weapon was, because a hole appeared in the armor, which was really intuitive. The next test shot was even more scary. Although the shell did not hit the target, it knocked out a big hole in the brick wall behind the target, and its power was self-evident.
The Secretary of Ordnance took people to study for a long time, and then he came back and said to Li Linfu: "Youxiang, this kind of military equipment is indeed a thunderbolt method. I can't find such a powerful military equipment in Datang, from the material point of view. The gun can be cast, but the gun cannot be imitated. We don’t have the material for this gun, and we can’t make it, and the processing technology is beyond our reach. As for the medicine of this gun, I don’t know what it is. Prepared."
Li Linfu frowned and sighed: "Deng Sizheng, these weapons are different from others. If I don't have this in Datang, who can be at ease?"
"Youxiang, the lower official has a question, where did these sharp weapons come from?"
"Outside Datang! This is not a good thing, do you understand? So, in any case, your Ordnance Department has to find a way to imitate the two weapons. The key lies in the gunpowder. You need everything. OK, the court will support it, and there will be a result, can you understand?"
"The lower officials will do their best."
Li Linfu nodded and said, "Then you two samples, please take them back. Remember, this is top secret, and you should not let anyone who has nothing to do with it."
"Yes, right."
Li Linfu looked at the person in the Ordnance Department and muttered, "Li You, Li You, what on earth do you kid want to do!"
Today's Li Linfu is indeed more and more unable to understand. The power of the guns is indeed too terrifying. Don't worry about how Li You got it. It is impossible to give this kind of sharp weapon easily, but Li You is wrong. Just did it, it really made him puzzled. But this also made Li Linfu gradually understand. I am afraid that Yuan Jaw said that Li You will not come back again. I am afraid it is still true. After all, Li You's expression of sincerity in this way is enough to explain the problem.
Li Linfu also thought about it clearly. The matter between Li You and King Cheng should be put aside. Now it is up to Shen Muyun whether he can give birth to a prince. If he can't, he can only find someone in the county king. Such a choice is indeed the last thing Li Linfu wants to see, because the risk brought by such a choice is the highest. But no matter what, I can only wait, it's only a few days anyway. (End of this chapter)
