The imperial examination, which lasted seven days and a total of three exams, has ended. This is a good experience for Suning. For Li Chengqian, it is a very good mental journey. From all aspects, for the two of them, this imperial examination is a good running-in. Run-in is not an easy task. Once the running-in is successful, the tacit understanding between the partners will be quite gratifying. This is the first thing Suning and Li Chengqian has to do with each other.

This kind of thing is certainly not simple, and it is not difficult either. It is mainly due to the cooperation of things and the experience of hosting such a huge event for the first time. So there are still many difficulties, but they have all been dealt with one by one. In seven days, Suning and Li Chengqian did not sleep for twenty-four hours together. Where can I have time to sleep? This is the dream of many candidates for many years. No one can slack off, and no one dares to slack off.

It is difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, you have to do it. No matter whether it is difficult or not, you have to do it. If you do it, there is still a possibility of success. If you don’t, there is no possibility of success at all. Isn’t Li Tai like this? It took him five years to go from nowhere to the expert level.

So, there is nothing difficult in the world. If you really want to do it or be forced to a certain extent, you will be a fight with the consequences. There is no other way. Li Tai successfully passed this test, so he became a real firearm expert. Because of his special identity, His Majesty Li Er entrusted the power to fully manage the research and development of firearms and firearms, and became a very important person.

When Li Tai was studying artillery and solid bombs, Suning was not by his side, but when the flowering bullet reached the most important stage, Suning accompanied him throughout the whole process. Solid bullets and flowering bullets were not of the same level. Li Tai could control solid bullets, but what exactly was the flowering bullets? Suning himself was not sure that Li Tai was a prince after all, and was particularly the prince of His Majesty Li Er's treasure. If something went wrong, Suning could not guarantee whether His Majesty Li Er would steam or cook himself...

Well, Suning is more afraid of heat...

So when the flowering bomb entered the most difficult and most important research process, Suning decisively joined. For the joining of the Marquis Su, who was the first to use firearms in the Tang Dynasty, who had studied firearms from the beginning, Li Tai's research team was welcomed. Although Suning does not have the technology, he still has knowledge.

The research and development process is very hard and difficult. From the proportion of gunpowder to improvement to the shell selection, it is all difficult. If you want to do these things. Judging from your current ability and level, it is obviously very difficult, but since the artillery has appeared, you cannot let the flowering bullet appear too late, otherwise the power of the cannon will be greatly limited. We need flowering bullets and we need the growth of the cannon.

With a loud bang, all of this announced the emergence of a result. The birth of an era, and the cannons that could fire flowering bullets were born. The scene of a group of pigs flying with flesh and blood caused all the firearm experts and workers to widen their eyes, and then they cheered excitedly and were tears flowing.

Li Tai was the happiest. He immediately announced that he would reward all the people who have worked with him for countless days and nights, including gold, people, pearls, agate, land, etc., and he would tell all the scientific researchers with practical actions to follow me and do things. I can't lose you! Doing things with me, you have whatever you want, as long as you do it, you will have great rewards, and you will have great official positions. There will be no shortage of money, land and women!

He and Suning hugged each other tightly. They were excited and proud of their achievements. At the same time, this young R&D team with an average age of less than 23 years old was also famous in the Tang Dynasty. Li Tai was officially awarded relevant positions by His Majesty Li Er. He was in charge of all the firearm research and development and firearm use work in Datang. He kept the most important and confidential firearm information and did not allow others to know. The relevant personnel also signed confidential letters. Once the secret was leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Unfortunately, the first actual combat use after the solid bullet was studied was not used to deal with the Arabs, but to deal with Li Yuanchang's rebels. This most powerful weapon was first used not to deal with the battlefield against outsiders, but to deal with the civil war against his own people. Although Suning hated internal thieves, he also hated the civil war of killing each other. The deaths were all Han people, all of them were their own people, and it was not beneficial to his own people.

However, Li Tai ignored this. He automatically blocked all the relevant information. He locked himself in the palace and did not go out. He actually began to study his so-called "lighter and faster artillery", because he said that the news feedback from various armies all said that the artillery was very useful after being equipped with flowering bullets, but the only thing that was lacking was the increase in weight, the mobility was worse, and it was more prone to moisture. It often required more than ten people to complete the work of five people in theory, which brought a lot of unnecessary trouble to the artillery team, and the number of artillery soldiers also increased unnecessary for this.

The staff members who graduated from Military University wrote this in the summary report and submitted it directly to Li Tai. After Li Tai learned about it, he paid great attention and immediately began to study the lightening of artillery. For this reason, he did not even care about the things that happened between Li Yuanchang and His Majesty Li Er. However, when Suning came to his palace to visit him, he could always feel that he seemed to have some strange changes.

So, during the research process, Suning asked Li Tai like this: "Qingque, don't you care about Li Yuanchang at all? Why don't you move at all?"

Li Tai said while doing the experiment: "What kind of action do I have? All the damns died, and those who shouldn't die also died. The entire palace has become a battlefield, and the cannons and flowering bullets we have worked hard to study. Have they ever asked us what we mean? Sanming, I really thank you now. I really thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I would probably have embarked on Li Yuanchang's path sooner or later."

Suning was shocked and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Li Tai put down the experiment in his hand and smiled helplessly: "Others think I am young and don't know anything, but I am eighteen years old, I am already very old, I know everything I should know, and I know everything I shouldn't know. Why did Li Yuanchang die? Why did the flower bomb we worked hard to study explode in the palace? I know, I know everything, so I thank you very much, Sanming, if it weren't for you, what path would I take?

I have something I want to do, and it is even more something I can do. Do you know that when I went to the East Palace to visit my brother a few times before, the lights in the East Palace were brightly lit and there were so many people who were rushing to handle government affairs, which touched me a lot. My palace often stayed up all night, but in the East Palace I couldn't feel anything that excited me, and I didn't want to do anything there at all.

So, there are also people around me who want me to fight for the throne. In fact, they do not want me to be the emperor? That is to hope that after I become the emperor, they will give them high officials and generous salaries. They want to obtain the merit of becoming the dragon, haha, I don’t want to be the emperor, I don’t want to be the emperor, I don’t want to be tired of being a brother, and I don’t want to end up as a brother like my father, and my father and son are in the opposite direction. Is it really necessary to have a yellow chair?"

Suning was silent for a long time. Then he slowly spoke: "For you, that chair has no value, and it is not even as good as a box of gunpowder, but for those who want to gain power, it is a fatal attraction. Not everyone is like you. He found that they really like to do it, and are willing to fight for it for life, or even give up the emperor's power.

More people don’t know what they want to do, so they have to follow the crowd and become officials. They fight for power and profit. Finally, they wake up in the middle of the dream. They don’t even know themselves, and they even hate themselves. Those corrupt officials and powerful ministers will probably be scared to death in their dreams. They have done too many bad things and will be retribution. You must remember that Qingque will be retribution."

Li Tai didn't say anything, silently restarted the research experiment, studying compressing gunpowder, compressing the gunpowder into a space smaller than before, but also enhancing the power of the gunpowder so that the actual effect of use will not be smaller than before before the weight loss. The army hopes to reduce the weight and increase flexibility and mobility, rather than at the cost of reducing the power of the artillery, which requires more careful research.

But Suning knows that since this research has begun and that this demand has been proposed, the operation from artillery to musket has begun. This is a process that will not be interrupted. This is an inevitable process. The time required for this process will not be as slow, as tortuous, and as bumpy as the original world, it will definitely be a glorious road.

Li Tai gave up what he thought he wanted, and he found what he really wanted, so he broke out of the vicious circle of the royal struggle for power and profit. He can definitely start and end well, but not everyone can start and end well like Li Tai. Li Yuanchang has died suddenly, and everything has ended. The next step is not internal struggle, but real external expansion and internal stability war.

The Tang army had already blocked the war from the country's borders. The war was launched far away in the West. The four empires fought over that land. The Persian Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire three-nation alliance jointly dealt with the Arab Empire. The Tang army was 100,000 troops stationed in the Persian Empire. All the money and supplies were provided by the Persians. This did not require the consumption of the Tang Dynasty's national strength. All the Tang Dynasty needed was to transport weapons and ammunition, and this part of the cost would be counted on the Persians. Even the death and injuries of the Tang soldiers were required to pay for it.

Therefore, the war has been far away from the Tang Dynasty. Since the end of the Liaodong Campaign, the war has been far away from the Tang Dynasty and people living in the Tang Dynasty. Students from military universities, like students from the University of Political Science and Law, once they enter the career of officialdom, they will go to the most dangerous and difficult places in the border area to experience it without exception. They will have to stay for at least three years before they can be transferred to other places, because they are officers and regular officers and need to assume more important responsibilities than soldiers.

For everyone, the new era of the Tang Dynasty has arrived. Once the pace of the times moves, no one can stay out of it. If they don’t follow the times, they will be abandoned by the times. If they are unwilling to be abandoned, then they must follow the pace of the times, follow the times, move forward together, make progress together, face what is about to happen, and face the changes that are about to face together.

The Tang army had artillery, from nothing to something, from the idea of ​​gunpowder weapons to the formal installation of artillery, it took eight years to come. Suning's contribution and Li Tai's talent were absolutely indispensable. Without the efforts and struggle of these two people, artillery would not appear until at least until the Mongol Yuan era. Now the Tang Dynasty has artillery, and with flowering artillery shells, it can cause devastating blows to individual soldiers and city walls. The traditional infantry phalanx has become a living target for artillery. This is the beginning of military reform, and military reform will surely bring about changes in the entire society.
