Chapter 884: Leaving for Chang'an City (Third Watch)
Hearing Gao Ping say that Li Tai had prepared a new weapon for the Tiewei Forbidden Army, not only Qin Huaiyu's face showed excitement. Even Luo Tong and the others were looking forward to it.
"My lord, I don't know what weapon the Iron Guard Forbidden Army wants to rewear? Can you open the eyes of the brothers first? Qin Huaiyu asked Li Tai excitedly.
"Since you are so anxious, let's go to Tiangong Pavilion with this king." Looking at Qin Huaiyu, who was anxious, Li Tai said with a smile.
So everyone followed Li Tai to the Tianji Pavilion, and after coming to the Tianji Pavilion, Li Tai said to Gao Ping: "Let people go and prepare the shooting range, and let the brothers try the power of the new gun." ”
After Gao Ping snorted, he immediately arranged for someone to prepare. It didn't take long for the range to be ready. In front of everyone was a rear-loading rifled gun.
Gao Ping said excitedly: "I'll give you a test of the power of this gun first." Make sure you don't bother to use a front-loading smoothbore gun when you see it. ”
Gao Ping then picked up the breech-loading rifled gun and pressed a bullet into the chamber. Then pull the bolt, aim, pull the trigger and you're done.
Seeing the hole in the red heart of the gun target, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but be shocked. It took so long to use a front-loading smoothbore musket. Qin Huaiyu is used to blind shooting.
After all, even if you aim with your heart, with the accuracy of a front-loading smoothbore musket. You may not be able to hit the target you want to hit.
Therefore, the power of the front-loading smoothbore musket lies in the large-scale shooting. Quantity compensates for the lack of accuracy.
Today's breech-loading rifled guns can shoot wherever they want, and the speed of reloading is very fast. It will inevitably make Qin Huaiyu so shocked.
Qin Huaiyu excitedly stretched out his hands and picked up a rear-loading rifled gun. The bullet is pressed into the chamber of the gun in a high-level manner.
Then, with a crisp sound, a hole was punched in the red heart of the target. This made Qin Huaiyu even happier.
With an excited face, he said to Li Tai: "Lord, this is the real musket." With it, the Iron Guard Forbidden Army has the strength to fight even if it encounters an enemy ten times its size. ”
Unlike Qin Huaiyu's excitement, Rwanda on the side. When I heard that all of his army had been reequipped with front-loading smoothbore muskets, Rwanda was very happy.
But now when I see this breech-loading rifled gun, I instantly feel that the front-loading smoothbore musket is simply not worth mentioning.
So he said to Li Tai with a look of grievance: "Lord, since you have such a good musket, why do you need to equip the army with a front-loading smoothbore musket." Why don't you just change it all to this musket in one step? ”
"The king would like to do it in one step, but the production of this musket is very slow. It is simply not possible to complete a large-scale redress. ”
"Even the Iron Guard Forbidden Army can only be equipped with 10,000 troops. However, this king believes that it will not be long before our entire army will be able to change its clothes. ”
"Maybe one day in the future, you will think that this breech-loading rifled gun is not good enough." Li Tai said to Rwanda with a smile.
Hearing Li Tai's words, Rwanda turned to look at Gao Ping. And said to Gao Ping: "Can you kid work harder and produce more of this musket." Avoid letting the brothers use the old-fashioned front-loading smoothbore muskets. ”
"Commander Lu, I can't blame Tiangong Pavilion for this. We weren't slow to assemble, but the barrel wasn't working on it. So Commander Lu should go find Shen Yunfei. Gao Ping said to Rwanda with a smile.
"You don't have to look at me, it's useless to look at me. The barrel that the lord asked for was too cumbersome to make. Being able to produce 10,000 pieces in one year is already the limit. Shen Yunfei said to Lu Wanda.
"Although this king can't equip all of you with new muskets now, it's still okay to equip your generals with some new pistols." Li Tai said to everyone with a smile.
Then Gao Ping took out a revolver, and then demonstrated it to everyone. Watch the bullets come out of the revolver in a steady stream of bullets, and the power is amazing.
This made Luo Tong very happy, and after taking the revolver from Gao Ping's hand, he said: "With this revolver in hand, when you go to the front of the two armies, you can be invincible." ”
Hearing Luo Tong's words, Li Tai shook his head helplessly. He secretly said in his heart: "It has reached the era of hot weapons, and they are still thinking about fighting in front of the two armies." ”
……
"Father, the son is ready to do it. If it's too late, the emperor may have an accident. Li Tai sat in front of Li Shimin and said.
"Just let go of your hands and feet, if there's anything you need me to do, just let me know." Li Shimin put down the teacup in his hand and said.
"Erchen has received the holy decree today, and ordered Erchen to go to Chang'an to discuss Li Xin's marriage on the same day. So the sons and daughters are ready to bring their father and mother with them. I don't know what my father wants? Li Tai opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.
"It's also time to go back and take a look, I hope to enter the Xuanwu Gate again this time, which will be different from back then." Li Shimin said with a sigh.
When Li Shimin entered the Xuanwu Gate, he launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, which shocked the ancient and modern times. But now when you enter the Xuanwu Gate again, what will happen?
Don't say that Li Shimin doesn't dare to think about it, I'm afraid even Li Tai himself can't be sure now. After all, there are too many variables.
……
Early the next morning, Li Tai explained everything at the Yin'an Palace. The government affairs of Yan State were still handed over to Liu Renliang to be responsible, and the military affairs were handed over to Luo Song.
At the same time, Li Tai ordered Wu Yuanzhong to lead the navy, and Rwanda to lead the army to leave Youzhou at the same time. Go to the important state capitals of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as Li Tai makes a move in Chang'an City, the land and water armies will control all the important state capitals of Datang at the first time. In order to stabilize the safety of Datang.
In addition, the shadow guard has already completed the deployment and is ready to assassinate those forces that oppose Li Tai. The main targets are the recalcitrant families.
He also ordered the Tiewei Forbidden Army to rush to Mozhou City one step ahead of Li Tai, and then secretly infiltrated Chang'an City with the help of Changsun Chong and Li Lizhen.
In order to reduce the target, this time the Iron Guard Forbidden Army only had 10,000 regular troops to go to Chang'an City. The baggage troops all flowed in Youzhou City.
Luo Huan, Gao Kan, Hua Nan and Xu Tianda each led their headquarters and followed Li Taizheng into Chang'an City.
Although Li Tai went to Chang'an City this time, he only brought 10,000 horses. However, no one would worry about Li Tai's safety, after all, it was enough to have 10,000 people.
After three days of preparation, Li Tai led people to embark on the train to Chang'an City. At this time, Li Tai's mood was very complicated.
After all, going to Chang'an City this time has a different meaning than before. Entering Chang'an City this time means changing this era.
Originally, Li Tai was looking forward to this moment, because only he really controlled the whole world. to be able to show their ambitions.
But now, Li Tai doesn't know whether he is doing this right. Because of Li Tai's decision, it will make Datang set off a huge bloody storm.
