Chapter 502 His Majesty, the Khan of Heaven, can be taken advantage of!
One month later.
Li Xuan discovered that Li Shimin's attention to bombs was far beyond his expectations.
On the hill in Lijiazhuang, the pits that were originally bombed out by bombs have begun to grow all kinds of lush weeds.
As for the big trees that were blown up, they were also carried down to the village by the Lijiazhuang merchants and used in separate use.
On the side of the mountain, Li Shimin was holding a huge front and petite bomb in his hand, which looked like a grenade from later generations. However, the bullet thrown in Li Shimin was obviously much larger than the grenade from later generations.
At Li Shimin's instructions, Li Wei carefully ignited the lead at the handle. Then, Li Shimin swung hard, threw the bullet in his hand, and disappeared into the crowd, disappearing.
After a few breaths.
A loud noise came from the hillside.
At the same time, dust is flying.
Flocks of birds flew out from several surrounding hills and fled desperately.
Outside the grass on the ground, animals also rushed out and ran deep into the mountains.
Seeing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.
Turning his head and looking at Li Xuan.
"Xuanba, how powerful do you think this kind of hand throwing bullets is?"
"Just 10,000 people are equipped, and on the battlefield, it is unstoppable!"
A hint of praise flashed in Li Xuan's eyes. It was already very good that the masters of the military weapon surveillance could do such hand-throwing bullets in just over a month!
"Hahaha, my Tang army can have such a hand-dumping bullet, Xuan Ba has made great contributions!"
Li Shimin said happily.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to be like this. Your Majesty should also know that I invented bombs just to better open mountains and crack rocks, and to allow those craftsmen to mine ores better!
I wonder if Your Majesty, but you are using this kind of explosive to mine ore for the craftsmen in the Shaofu Supervisor?”
Li Xuan shook his head gently and looked at Li Shimin with a calm expression.
After hearing this, Li Shimin's expression suddenly froze.
"Xuanba, is this bomb so precious? Is it a pity to use it to mine ore?"
“…”
Li Xuan looked at Li Shimin quietly for a long time, "I dare to ask Your Majesty, which one does your Majesty think is more important than a bomb?"
"It's the people of the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Shimin said without hesitation.
"So, can your majesty know that it takes many times to create a bomb?"
"A few breaths!"
"Including iron blocks and gunpowder?"
"this……"
Li Shimin was stunned!
Both iron blocks and gunpowder need to be calculated from mining ore, and cannot be calculated at all!
"Your Majesty, you don't have to use bombs to blow up ore. You can also stuff gunpowder into a long sealed iron tube, and drill a big hole in the mountain, throw the iron tube filled with gunpowder into it. After igniting it, the entire mountain will explode from the inside to the outside.
In this way, it will save at least half a month or even a month of effort for the people."
"If these time is saved, how much more work can these people do? Then, how much more ore can be mined, how much more steel can be forged, and how many bombs can be made?
After repeating this, a bomb brings endless benefits…”
As he said that, Li Xuan couldn't help but suddenly remembered something.
"Your Majesty, are the people of my Tang Dynasty mining ore now, or are the Turkic slaves mining ore?"
"It is my Tang people who mine ore!"
Li Shimin replied slowly.
"Why not let Turkic slaves mine ore?"
Li Xuan's tone couldn't help but feel a little stiff.
"Xuanba, those Turkic slaves are building cities such as Shunzhou, Yuzhou, Huazhou, Changzhou, Dingxiang, and Yunzhong!"
Li Shimin was also stunned, not understanding why Li Xuan was suddenly so angry.
"Your Majesty, those Turkic slaves have been built for more than a year. Are the cities such as Shunzhou, Yuzhou, Huazhou, Changzhou, Dingxiang, and Yunzhong have been built almost the same?
Moreover, mining ore is not only tiring, but also very dangerous. These tasks are what those Turkic slaves should do!”
Li Xuan said.
"This is a matter of course!"
Only then did Li Shimin understand why Li Xuan, who was still full of joy, was angry.
The left and right are just Turkic slaves, and it is not worth quarrel with Li Xuan at all.
"I would like to forgive my crime. I was impatient for a moment and my tone was a little confusing. However, if I am not my race, my heart will be different! I am really worried that Your Majesty is too tolerant of those Turkic slaves! You should know that no matter how magnanimous the Han people are to those foreigners, especially those of the Turks and Goguryeo.
However, when they are strong, they will turn into white-eyed wolves and invade the borders of our Tang Dynasty!”
Hearing this, Li Xuan slowly calmed down. Just looking at Li Shimin's somewhat perfunctory expression, Li Xuan felt angry again!
"Don't worry, Xuanba, I will never be ruthless to those people from other races. When it is time to kill, I will never leave any living. However, for those people from other races, Turks still need to leave an example!
In this way, the vassal states around the Tang Dynasty are willing to surrender to my Tang Dynasty and be influenced by my Tang Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty wants them all to surrender?"
Li Xuan was angry again.
"The Tang Dynasty is the supreme country of the Heavenly Kingdom, and I am the Khan of Heaven..."
Li Shimin said slowly.
"Your Majesty, what is the use of the name of Tian Khan?"
Hearing this, Li Xuan knew what Li Shimin was going to say, and directly sneered and interrupted Li Shimin's words.
This made Li Chengqian, Fang Xuanling and others on the side look tight.
"In my opinion, those honorary titles of Tian Khan given to His Majesty by the vassal states are better than naming His Majesty the suckers!
Every time a foreign envoy came to Chang'an, he only brought a few trucks of items, which was not worth a hundred coins in my Tang Dynasty. However, His Majesty would give tens of thousands of coins in gifts every time?
I really don’t know why Your Majesty is like this?
Your Majesty may absolutely feel that this kind of behavior can demonstrate the magnificent spirit of the Tang Dynasty and the Supreme Kingdom.
However, every time I have a sense that the Tang Dynasty was cursing the small vassal states. It seemed that they were using these precious gifts to beg those vassal states, and they wanted to respect the Tang Dynasty as the country above the heavenly dynasty, and they wanted to respect His Majesty the Tang Dynasty..."
As soon as these words came out, the entire mountain was already silent.
His Highness the King of Jin is actually mocking His Majesty!
Even, it has constituted an insult...
You know, it has been a long time since no one dared to speak to Li Shimin like this.
Even Li Shimin widened his eyes and did not react for a moment.
However, Li Xuan's words did not stop because of this.
"Sometimes, I wonder if those envoys from the vassal states would all be secretly happy after they brought so much goods back. The Tang people were stupid and had a lot of money. They could get so many good things by using some of their country's junks to say a lot of good things to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
Later, they saw that since the Tang Dynasty was so easy to talk, even if it was like the Turks, a nation that had a blood hatred with the Tang Dynasty could receive such good treatment as long as it surrendered!
When they were plundering our Tang people, they would be more courageous!
At worst, if they attract the Tang army to conquer, they will surrender directly after they cannot be defeated. Anyway, the Tang Dynasty will not kill them. On the contrary, after they surrender, their lives may be better than before!
Even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could put them back, be crowned kings for them, and continue to plunder the people on the border of the Tang Dynasty!”
"If that happens, Your Majesty is really the Khan of Heaven, the Khan of all the countries in the world. The people of our Tang Dynasty are only part of His Majesty's people, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are just..."
