Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 657 This Thing, A Famous Pistol!

Chapter 682 This thing, a famous pistol!

He saw that in front of him was a rosewood box.

Open the box, and there are five small things inside.

Next to it is the instruction manual.

After Li Shimin read the manual, when he stared at these five items, his eyes seemed to be like rare beauties!

Of course, for Li Shimin, even if a rare beauty appeared in front of him, he would not be as excited as these five things!
This is a pistol!

Pistol Pistol, as the name suggests, is a firearm that can be held directly in the hand and used flexibly!
Li Shimin knew that there was a gun, and he also knew that this thing was like a magical weapon that could directly kill people from several meters away. It was faster than a bow and arrow, and more difficult to defend against.

But the gun he knew was very long and very big!

Unlike these five guns, they looked like they could be held in hand.

He picked up a gun and weighed it in his hand. It was quite heavy, but with his wrist strength, it was enough to shoot with one hand.

There are two guns, one is for him, and the other is for his daughter Li Lizhi, Princess Changle.

The remaining three will be left to Li Shimin to decide who will use them.

Knowing that only two or three guns were originally intended to be given away, but five were temporarily added, this made Li Shimin feel that the three extra guns were like treasures for nothing!
I'm even happier!

"Do you know what this is?" Li Shimin said.

Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi looked at this thing. They hadn't read the instructions yet, so naturally they couldn't figure it out.

Li Lizhi guessed: "Father, could it be...a weapon for self-defense?"

clever!

Li Shimin looked at his daughter with approval: "This is indeed a self-defense weapon. This thing is a famous pistol!"

"pistol?"

"Yes, a pistol, a self-defense weapon that can be held in the hand, and it can easily take a person's head from tens of meters away."

Li Lizhi also tried to pick it up, but it was a bit heavy for her.

If you lift it with one hand, your wrist will feel slightly sore.

However, if you hold the pistol with two hands and aim it in one direction, you can aim it steadily.

Empress Changsun also finished reading the manual at this time, and exclaimed: "This is really a treasure! Youzhou is really outstanding!"

Isn't it outstanding!

There are actually people who can research such a treasure there, and I heard that those researchers are really capable people who searched from the local area!

Why didn't I see before that Youzhou is still such a place that produces such great talents?
Why does Empress Changsun think that a person who can create such a thing is a great talent?
Just because she is not an ordinary woman at this time, her vision and knowledge give her a very sensitive insight into this.

"This thing, as well as the musket and grenade before it, are the first of its kind. In the future, such magical things will probably appear one after another." She sighed.

Li Shimin is very happy that his wife can think of going with him!

At this time, Li Shimin is in the middle of his life, full of ambitions, and he has everything!
"Guanyin maid, please take one of these pistols and practice at the target with Chang Le. This thing is not suitable for the moment to be given to ministers, but it is a pity to keep it in the library. Why don't you and Chang Le follow me together? Practice. The remaining two..."

Li Shimin was a little hesitant. There were two more. Who should give these two?

He had many sons, and his favorite son should actually be King Li Tai of Wei. This was his favorite son.

Now that the prince has been deposed and became the king of the county, the dissatisfaction in the past has disappeared as the prince has become more obedient recently. He now looks like a loving father to Li Chengqian.

Especially Li Chengqian had a foot disease recently and was limping. He asked the imperial physician to show Li Chengqian, and the imperial physician said that he was lame because of "diabetes".

Li Shimin actually has "diabetes", which is diabetes in later generations.

He also knew that Li Chengqian's "diabetes" probably happened to him.

This also made Li Shimin feel a little guilty about Li Chengqian.

Why didn't other sons get this diabetes, but his eldest son got this disease!
He even limped because of this disease!
As a father, he is naturally full of love and affection for this son.

There is also Li Ke, the king of Wu, Li Shimin's third son. In the past, Li Shimin's love for him was not as good as that of Wei Wang Li Tai.

After all, Li Ke, the king of Wu, was not from Empress Changsun, but from Concubine Yang.

And Li Shimin loves the house and Wu for the child of Guanyin's maidservant, and because of his love for his wife, he likes it a little more.

However, Li Ke, king of Wu, has done many errands in the past three years, and every errand has been done to Li Shimin's satisfaction.

Li Shimin's emphasis on Wu Wang and Li Ke is accumulated on this matter.

"Gan'er, Qingque, Ke'er, these three people, who will you give them to?"

There were only two pistols left, but there were three people he wanted to give them to!

After much deliberation, I simply decided that none of these three people will give it!
He decided to keep these two pistols as backup!

Who can guarantee that five pistols will last a long time?
These two are reserved for replacement!

After saying this to himself, Li Shimin looked at other gifts.

He looked through the list of gifts one by one, and later found that Qin Yang, the son-in-law-to-be, was really very sincere!
At the back, there is another box, which is not gold, silver, or other treasures, but the topographic map of all the alien races outside Youzhou and the entire Tubo!
It’s so detailed that even rivers and mountains are marked one by one!
Qin Yang also attached a letter explaining the reason for sending it.

"This boy, is he planning to take over all the places where these foreign races are located and take them into the territory of the Tang Dynasty?" After reading it, Li Shimin looked a little disgusted, but he was very happy in his heart!

This coincides with his thoughts again!

If it wasn't for the support of the national power, Li Shimin would have long wanted to wipe out all the foreign races around him, and make the land of the foreign races become the territory of the Tang Dynasty!

But repeated wars can easily lead to the decline of national strength and are not friendly to the people. Therefore, the wars Li Shimin fought after he came to power were basically defensive wars and counterattack wars.

"Is he planning to use foreign races to contain foreign races?" This is similar to some methods in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. Li Shimin rubbed his chin, thinking that this method is not impossible.

But the foreign race is not a fool, if there is no benefit that can make them tempted, how could the foreign race agree to such a thing of acting as a gun for others?

Continuing to read down, you will see some methods proposed by Qin Yang to attract others.

These strategies are Qin Yang's inspirations from later generations, and Li Shimin was amazed to see them.

Li Shimin was amazed by Qin Yang's many inventions.

As a result, Qin Yang also has such a talent for this kind of thing?
"Perhaps I shouldn't have let him go to Youzhou at the beginning." Li Shimin regretted it.

Such talents should stay in the central hub of Datang to serve the entire Datang!
