One hundred and forty-four chapters in the spring (1)

Spring is in short supply, and all kinds of species on the earth feel this way. Not only Ning Wen's family, but even Diao Gui, who came back and left early, was rarely late. Seeing that Ning Wen was actually earlier than himself, Diao Gui smiled and bowed:

"It's early in charge, hehe!"

The Weapon Supervisor provides three meals for breakfast and lunch, all of which are free. The quantity has increased, but the quality has dropped a lot, so the taste is not satisfactory. Ning Wen rarely eats breakfast at the Weapon Supervisor. Today is an exception. Early in the morning, Yu'er and Erya were called to the palace by Princess Changle. It is estimated that they would chat with a group of princesses to relieve their fatigue. Not only Ning Wen Sichun, but also the resentful wives in the palace are probably Sichun's amazing now.

Thinking of the spring scenery in the room last night, Ning Wen felt a sense of unfinished feeling. He planned to tinker with it in the evening. Erya's belly gradually grew bigger. As her belly grew bigger, the size of a certain part also increased, and the feel became more comfortable than usual. Thinking of this, Ning Wen suddenly felt a stream of true energy in his dantian was running around along the Ren and Du meridians. Diao Gui was snoring and drinking millet porridge in front of him, but he didn't notice Ning Wen shrank and fled in panic.

The feeling of the spring breeze blowing on her face made Ning Wen sweep away the previous riots, and then calmed down and came to the test range. Today is the second experiment of flowering bullets, which solved the accuracy problem in the manufacturing process. Today is the experimental verification and the critical moment for the design and production of flowering bullets. If it succeeds today, it means that the entire Tang Dynasty has a powerful tool to scare the enemy. At the same time, it also has a solid foundation for Li Shimin's plan to expand territory. At least dozens of mountain cannons are in front of the formation. If a few cannons are bombed, they can kill a piece of it. The rest are probably gone without morale and can only surrender.

Li Shimin's good mood passed by as the Lantern Festival passed, and wrinkles on his face gradually increased. He hadn't noticed that under the sunlight outdoors, Li Shimin had some gray hair on his hair. It can be seen that Li Chengqian had a big blow to him. It was probably because Li Chengqian was lame, so he did not immediately deprive him of the position of prince.

This is what Ning Wen thought. The reason why Li Shimin has not yet made up his mind to solve the position of Prince Li Chengqian is mainly because he is used to it. If he suddenly changes into a certain prince, Li Shimin will not be able to accept it for a while. After all, it is not a very simple thing to re-train a successor. That temperament alone is a accumulation of more than ten years.

The two Tianwei cannons have been set up at this moment. The black and shiny cannon tubes flashed with a trace of murderous aura under the warm spring sun. The second cannon was cast with four Tianwei cannons. Li Shimin wrote and typed in hand. This design alone made the Weapon Supervisor work for most of the day. You should know how difficult it is to carve concave characters in the mold.

"start!"

Li Shimin shouted in a deep voice, not as good as he did during the first experiment, and just two simple words passed on Ning Wen who was standing at the stairs.

A group of ministers followed Li Shimin into the bunker on the viewing platform, Ning Wen returned to the command post, and the two cannons fired five flowering bullets respectively. In order to test the power of this projectile, after the launch, Ning Wen guided Li Shimin to the bounce point three hundred feet away, with thumb-sized iron slag everywhere, and a hundred wooden mannequins were all tilted, and none of them were complete. Even the outermost models were covered with bullet holes for killing iron slags.

For a moment, the ministers whispered, saying that the sky-powerful cannon was domineering, especially the generals, praised him. Li Shimin pondered for a while and turned around and asked:

"Ning Wen, can all ten Tianwei cannons produced at the end of April fire such projectiles?"

"Your Majesty, that's right, and cannons of the same caliber can also fire these projectiles. On the battlefield, these flowering bullets are the most useful. They are not only annihilated the enemy's army, but also a powerful weapon to weaken the enemy's aura. The more tight the army's formation, the stronger the lethality!"

"Your Majesty, why not order Li Ji to attack after the Tianwei cannon is transported?"

Changsun Wuji bowed and said, Changsun Wuji was cautious during this period, for fear of annoying his brother-in-law again.

"Changsun Pushe is right. Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Dingxiang to support General Manager Li!"

Cheng Zhijie rarely asked Li Shimin for such a formal request. It is probably because he saw that Li Shimin had a bad temper recently.

"This matter is not busy for a while, I will arrange it at that time."

The emperor was in a bad mood, and everyone hid far away, Ning Wen was no exception. He sent Li Shimin away. After Ning Wen arranged the weapons surveillance, he planned to go home, but Wang De came to summon him. After Wang De beat Ning Wen with slander last time, Ning Wen also responded to him and found opportunities to get money from time to time. So Wang De and Ning Wen gradually got closer.

"I wonder what your Majesty summons you?"

Ning Wen immediately asked Wang De, wanting to know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, he was also ready.

"It seems to be the Weapon Supervisor. Your Majesty is in a bad mood recently. Ning Cheng will be careful to serve him later."

Following Wang De to Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin has not arrived yet. It was the first time Ning Wen has come to such a palace, which is different from the East and West Warehouse. This is a serious palace. Looking at the books on the wall behind the desk, Ning Wen felt that this should be Li Shimin's study, probably a place like a study.

About a quarter of an hour later, Li Shimin changed his clothes and came to Ganlu Hall. After Ning Wen bowed and bowed, he stayed quietly aside, waiting for Li Shimin's question.

"I am very eye-opening today. Ning Wen has made great contributions. Is Ning Wen confident that he can train a hundred artillery soldiers in two months?"

Ning Wen had explained to a group of civil servants and generals in the morning court, but it was rejected. After all, it would be absurd if he had asked a yellow-haired boy under 23 to train such an important military service. Besides, holding military power is a jealous thing, and Ning Wen himself did not want to get involved in it at all.

This matter was put on hold at that time. Now that he saw the power of the Tianwei cannon, Li Shimin made up his mind to build the artillery team. The young boy in front of him was the best choice. Although he was still young, he was also trying to be a weapon supervisor for a while. Besides, no one in the court knew how to practice. Only Ning Wen could say something. Li Shimin suddenly felt like he was a dead horse and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Ning Wen was fighting in his heart. This was a huge trust. Not to mention anything else, the trust of Li Shimin alone made Ning Wen feel excited. However, Ning Wen was not overwhelmed by this trust. If he started to practice artillery at this time, twenty artillery guns would be more organized in a battalion in the future. It is very likely that he would be involved in the battlefield at the end of April. If he got involved, he would definitely go there. Thinking of this, Ning Wen hesitated. He had always been a family-centered life with the purpose of making money. He was suddenly dragged to the battlefield. Ning Wen really couldn't convince himself.

"Your Majesty, I am a little bit light. I want you to train our new talents in the Tang Dynasty. I am worried that you will be in danger. Your Majesty, Your Majesty is worse than you, why not send someone else?"

Ning Wen lowered his head and did not dare to face Li Shimin's eyes. He was resistant to the order, and he was still trembling for a moment.

“…”

Li Shimin didn't say anything, but sighed slightly, reached out to pick up the tea on the desk, and took a sip. Ning Wen's answer did not surprise Li Shimin. If Ning Wen agreed in one sip, he would feel that it was inappropriate. After all, a boy who was only twenty-two years old, but his mood was quite calm and was a material for doing big things. If he cultivated it carefully, his achievements would definitely be great. So Li Shimin thought about it, put down the tea bowl heavily, frowned, and asked a little gloomy:

"In this way, Ning Wen does not intend to share my worries and serve the country?"

“…”

It’s Ning Wen’s turn to be speechless!
