Great Tang Southern Emperor

Firearms are very well made, in fact, the assembly line production of firearms has been completed.What is really difficult to make is bullets (this is the fact that there are more than 200 countries and regions in the world, and there are many countries that can produce guns, but there are less than 30 countries that can produce bullets in the world). The process is too complicated. Li Zhen made a lot of traditional firearms, including pistols, rifles, sniper rifles, and even submachine guns. Unfortunately, the production speed of bullets has been limited, and these firearms have all become fire sticks. A small amount of equipped troops.

Moreover, although the structure of the bullet is similar to that of a cannonball, its volume is dozens of times smaller, and the manufacturing process is really no longer at the same level. (Actually, cannonballs should be more difficult to make than bullets. There are [-] countries in the world that can make bullets, but only [-] can make cannonballs. But now it is a special case, and to be honest, the early cannonballs really need Easier than bullets. After all, guns have been around for so many years, and various new types of shells have emerged one after another, but bullets are still composed of shell casings, warheads, primers, and propellants. Basically, there is not much change.)

It is also because of the slow production speed that the cost of bullets has skyrocketed.However, excellent spearmen are trained by bullets. The 5000 people in Shenji Battalion consume a lot of bullets every time they eat training. Minimize training activities.

Seeing Li Zhen's pained expression, Fang Yiai laughed and said, "Your Highness, it turns out that you also have times of being stingy."

"Hahaha" everyone laughed in unison.

"Nonsense, each training session of the Shenji Battalion is equivalent to the sum of the consumption of the other five battalions in a month. No matter how rich I am, I still can't afford them." Li Zhen rolled her eyes, thinking that the young master's money was blown by the wind. ah?

"But the problem of bullets really needs to be solved." Xue Rengui frowned: "Seeing that such a good weapon can't be used, I'm so greedy."

"There is really no way in this short period of time." Li Zhen smiled wryly. The most difficult part of the bullet is the primer. It is different from the large area of ​​the primer of the cannon. Even if you install the primer first and then close it, there is no problem. , if you want to achieve mass production, you must solve the problem of installing it at one time, but the primer will also explode.

Shaking his head and throwing away these troubles, Li Zhen regained his mind, stood up and said coldly: "Everyone, this king has only one request for this time, and that is to kill. After three months of attacking Linyi, the sword will not be sealed. Killing Lin Yi is timid, killing the king of Lin Yi until he kneels in front of me and wags his tail and begs for mercy."

The generals looked solemn: "Yes."

After leaving the barracks, Li Zhen returned to the palace.

As soon as she entered the palace, Wu Meiniang greeted her: "Your Highness, are you ready to go out again?"

"Yeah." Li Zhen sat down, enjoying Wu Meiniang's massage, closed her eyes and said slowly: "I can't help it, I also want to take a good rest, but the enemy won't give me this chance, the fighting power of the Boys' Army is too strong It makes some people sleepless. If the Boys’ Army is allowed to exist, their plan will never be implemented, and they can only linger under the deterrence of the Boys’ Army.”

Wu Meiniang paused her hand: "What's the meaning of this, Your Highness? Is there another hidden story behind this battle in Linyi?"

"Of course." Li Zhen took a long breath, enjoying the fragrance of Wu Meiniang's body: "What is Linyi? The land is only three hundred miles away, and the population is only one million. My Tang Dynasty has a vast territory and a population of 5000 million. At that time, there was no comparison between the two. If no one was bewitching, how could Lin Yi have the guts to offend my Tang Dynasty at this time? Unless their monarch has a convulsion, even if Lin Yi may have a convulsion, he can't grow old The monarch of the country will also follow the convulsions?"

"That is to say, your Highness will definitely be in danger when you go to Huanzhou this time?" Upon hearing this, Wu Meiniang said anxiously, "Your Highness, why don't we go? If something happens to you, what should I do?" ?”

Li Zhen smiled and said nothing, how could she not go?It is indeed dangerous to go this time, but is this not an opportunity?And he really didn't pay much attention to the opponent's conspiracy.

The situation in the southern part of the Tang Dynasty is obvious. There are only a few small countries, and the harmony of people is definitely not to be expected, so the so-called conspiracy is nothing more than taking advantage of the right time and place.

Nanyang will be barren even in later generations, not to mention now, it is not certain whether the masters of the jungle are human beings or not.

The current Nanyang is absolutely overgrown with wild grass, smog everywhere, densely covered with poisonous insects, rampant beasts, all kinds of poisonous flowers and plants, ubiquitous snakes, scorpions and spiders, crocodiles lurking in the swamp, and the most terrifying man-eating ants in such a Jedi Among them, the number of people has no effect. No matter how many people enter, they can only become food for the rainforest.Only locals who are familiar with the terrain can find a way out of it.If Li Zhen's army was not prepared at all, it would be dead if they went in, but would Li Zhen be unprepared?

"Your Highness, you should say something."

"What did I say?" Li Zhen said with a smile: "Sister Mei Niang, don't be too careful. No one in Nanyang who can kill me has yet been born. I have only one result when I go this time, and that is to hold the tomb of King Linyi. The human head, bound countless slaves, returned victorious."

"But"

"No but." Li Zhen grabbed Wu Meiniang's jade hand, and gently rubbed it on her cheek: "Some things always need someone to do them. As their master, if I don't even have the courage Rengui, how could they surrender to me?"

Wu Meiniang bit her lip, and said angrily: "But you are the prince of Tang Dynasty, you are worth a thousand gold, and you have to fight in person every time, so what's the use of them?"

Li Zhen shook her head slightly, and explained: "You can't say that. If you just go to destroy one or two countries and capture some slaves, it's okay to hand them over to Xue Rengui and the others. The problem is that the enemy's goal this time is My youth army and I, if I don’t go, wouldn’t it be a disappointment to their kindness? Once they let go this time, it will be extremely difficult to catch them. Besides, Huanzhou has just experienced a war, and as the royal family, I The representative of the party must also go to express condolences."

Wu Meiniang finally compromised: "Okay, then you have to promise me, Your Highness, go back early."

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back soon." Li Zhen laughed strangely, and pulled Wu Meiniang into her arms: "I can't bear to miss Mei Jiao Niang."

"Ah, don't your Highness, it's still daytime"

"Hey hey, good day, I haven't tasted the taste of prostitution during the day for a long time."

"Do not"

Chapter 338 Arriving in *State

Chapter 1 Arriving in the State

Two days passed quickly, and with the full efforts of the Raging Wave Camp and the Yuezhou Mansion, a huge fleet capable of carrying [-] troops and supplies was finally assembled and docked in the Yuezhou Port, which was a spectacular sight.It is a pity that the expansion project of the terminal has just started, and it is still the same at present, and only cargo ships can be docked in turn to load goods and people.Seeing that time was wasted in vain, Li Zhen shook her head in disappointment: "This pier really needs to be expanded quickly, and there will be many scenes like this in the future. Only such a small scale is not enough, time is money." Fang Yiai He quickly assured: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the task of expanding the pier has been handed over to Feng Zhibao. I believe that with his efforts, after His Highness returns from victory, he will definitely see a brand new Yuezhou Port." "So Are you confident?" Li Zhen raised her eyebrows and said, "Then I will wait and see." "Your Highness will definitely see it." After spending another day, the [-] troops finally boarded the ship, and after the farewell of the people of Yuezhou In the film, the Boys embarked on a legendary road.Life at sea is boring, but fortunately, the journey went smoothly, and in just two days, the fleet arrived at Huanzhou Wharf.Huanzhou Wharf was dilapidated and narrower than Yuezhou, so Li Zhen, who couldn't wait, simply ordered someone to jump into the sea and swim there.

"The governor of Huanzhou, Jia Lidun, and his colleagues in Huanzhou, big and small, have met His Royal Highness the King of Yue." Not long after landing, the governor of Huanzhou who got the news hurried over with his people: "His Royal Highness, the king of Yue, came to the rescue without hesitation. , I am grateful, I am so grateful, now that the situation is urgent and supplies are scarce, I can only prepare a little wine to entertain Your Highness, and please Your Highness to show me your face." "Get up, the banquet is over, since the situation is urgent, then you help us quickly Replenish supplies, and tell me about the current situation by the way, we have to go to the front line as soon as possible." Li Zhen said lightly, he didn't have a good impression of this man, seeing his oily face, and smelling it carefully, he could smell a faint smell of alcohol. Apparently, the banquet has just been held. Now that the situation in Huanzhou is so urgent, this Jia Lidun is still in the mood to hold a banquet. One can imagine his ability.Jia Lidun was quite calm: "Your Highness, don't worry. Just yesterday, the old governor of Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion Qiu led 2 elite troops to the front line, and [-] new troops joined. If you want to come to Linyi, you will have to suffer a lot. As for the supplies, the minister It has already been prepared, enough food and fresh water for [-] people for half a month, and the medicines prepared by His Royal Highness's servants are also in place, waiting for His Highness to receive them." "Yes, let me introduce the situation now. "Li Zhen took a look at Jia Lidun, and changed her opinion of him. Although this person may not be a good official, but his executive ability is not bad, he can be regarded as a capable official. "Yes, there is a map in the Governor's Mansion, please come with your Highness." Jia Lidun made a gesture of invitation.

Passing by the Jiude county government office in Huanzhou all the way, Li Zhen and his party came to the governor's mansion.Arriving at the Governor's Mansion, Li Zhen's impression of Jia Lipton changed again. As a prefectural government office, the Governor's Mansion was not much better than the Jiude County Government Office in terms of decoration except that it was a little bigger. They were all old buildings over 15 years old. , Even the vermilion lacquer on the gate has peeled off a lot, which makes people feel a unique sense of vicissitudes at a glance.Fortunately, this is the governor's mansion after all, and no one dared to cut corners when building it, so it only looks a little dilapidated on the surface, but it is actually very strong.Jia Lipton also noticed Li Zhen's gaze, and said shyly, "The Governor's Mansion is short of funds and hasn't been repaired for many years. Please make atonement, Your Highness." But in my heart, I have an inexplicable sense of identification with the bastards in Yuezhou-being an official in such a dilapidated place, and working for more than ten years, the despair in my heart is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. what can be doneBut although I understand it, it doesn't mean that Li Zhen agrees with them. A criminal is a criminal, and a corrupt official is a corrupt official. No matter what reason you have, imposing your own greed on the people and the court is a moral crime in itself.Throwing these messy thoughts out of their minds, a group of people came to the main hall of the governor's mansion. The first thing they saw was a huge map hanging on the opposite wall. It was the topographic map near Huanzhou, and there were some red and blue marks on it The arrows should correspond to the current situation between the enemy and us.

Jia Lidun personally picked up the baton, pointed at the center of Huanzhou and said, "Look, Your Highness, our current position is here, and Puyang County, which Linyi just started to capture, is at the southernmost tip of Huanzhou, which is here, and just yesterday , We got the news that Yueshang County was also captured by the Baitou Kingdom, the county magistrate Chang retreated and all died in battle, and Puyang County was massacred." Speaking of this, Jia Lidun clenched his fists.Li Zhen also roared angrily: "Damn it, when the king leads the army to attack Baitou, they will surely kill the whole country, young and old, and no grass will grow." Jia Lidun continued: "But the Baitou army is not easy. Nearly 7000 people were lost in Changcheng, forcing them to rest in place and temporarily cancel their plan to continue attacking." "Baitou is no longer a threat for the time being, but His Highness needs to be careful of Lin Yi, because according to our information, Lin Yi is in After capturing Puyang County, she didn't intend to continue to fight north, but turned around and went south, and entered Luofu Prefecture, her behavior was very strange." "Luofu Prefecture?" Li Zhen looked at the map, Luofu Prefecture is located at the southernmost end of Lingnan Road. Huanzhou has to go south, which has always been the strangest place for Li Zhen.Luofu Prefecture is the southernmost tip of Lingnan, but Lin Yi attacked Huanzhou—how did they come here?Is it crossing the sea?Why?Since you want to fight Datang, you can simply fight from the southernmost point to the north. Why do you have to cut through the middle?Are they not afraid of being flanked?

And Baitou, they are in the west of the Annan Zhuzhou, and there is a Tangzhou in the middle of Huanzhou. How did they come to Huanzhou in the east? With an army of 5 people, no matter how blind the Dudu Mansion is, it's impossible not to notice it at all, right?Perhaps seeing Li Zhen's doubts, Jia Lidun explained Li Zhen's doubts: "Your Highness, you forgot that the recent period is the time for the Tang army to change defenses. Just five days before the start of the war, Luo Fu, the governor of Luofu Prefecture, The 5000 people under the jurisdiction of the state were all transferred to the Dudu Mansion of Jiaozhou. However, the army that changed defense had just arrived in Huanzhou, and the war had already begun. This army could only help the ministers to protect Huanzhou temporarily. Thanks to the help of the five thousand troops, Otherwise, Chen Zhen may not be able to support it."

Chapter 339

Chapter 1 Thirteen

"What's the matter with the white heads? How did they appear in Huanzhou?" Li Zhen asked: "There is Tangzhou between Huanzhou and Baitou, and there is Aizhou in the north of Tangzhou. Under the surveillance of the state government, how did the 80 army finally jump to Huanzhou?" Hearing Li Zhen's question, Jia Lidun and the entire governor's mansion fell silent.Seeing this, Li Zhen couldn't help frowning, and Fang Yiai behind him immediately reprimanded: "What's going on? In front of His Royal Highness Yue, do you still dare to hide it?" At this time, a loud voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness Don't embarrass them, this is what I mean." "Huh?" Li Zhen heard the prestige, but saw an old man with white beard and hair and a vicissitudes of life striding forward. He is very vigorous and in good health, walking fast, throwing his followers four or five steps away while running, he doesn't look like an old man in his 90s or 11s at all.Seeing this old man, Li Zhen hurriedly greeted him: "It turns out that it is Mrs. Qiu, Li Zhen is very polite." There are not many people in this world who can be worthy of Li Zhen's greetings, and there are even fewer people in Lingnan, among whom Feng An counts One, but he has been killed by Li Zhen, and the other is the old man in front of him, or this old man is the only one among Lingnan officials who is worthy of Li Zhen's greetings.He is Qiu He, the governor of Jiaozhou, an old monster who has lived for nearly 5 years. Two dynasties, and experienced the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty - not to mention his achievements, just because of his age and legendary resume, he is worthy of Li Zhen's greetings.But the strange thing is that, according to history, Qiu He died in Zhenguan 1000 years ago, but now let alone dying, this old man can even lead soldiers to fight—didn't you hear what Jia Lidun said just now?Just yesterday, the old governor of the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion, Qiu, had led five thousand elites to the front line. He said that this master personally led troops to fight against the enemy. It can be seen that he is old and strong, extraordinary. "Your Highness can't do it. I can't be your Highness's gift." Seeing Li Zhen salute, Qiu He hurriedly moved away, but there was a kind of satisfaction that couldn't be concealed from the corners of his eyes.The two shirked for a while, and Li Zhen asked the question again.Qiu He, who was still smiling just now, fell silent for a moment, and finally said after a while: "Because the governor of Tangzhou, Wang Guantong, defected to the enemy." "What?" Li Zhen exclaimed, and the crowd behind him was also in an uproar. It's not that there are no such people, Bank of China, Wei Lu, and Li Ling are all like this, but these people generally betray the opponents who are stronger than the Central Plains court, at least they must be opponents of the same level, but you, Wang Guantong, rely on a weak one Forced, what is the matter with a small country that may be wiped out by the Tang Dynasty at any time?Or do you, Wang Guantong, think that with your own ability, you can turn the tide and build Baitou into an empire comparable to the Tang Dynasty and then destroy the Tang Dynasty? "What's going on? Could it be that this Wang Guantong once fell into the hands of Baitou?" Even though Wang Guantong had defected to the enemy, Li Zhen still found it difficult to accept it psychologically, so he could only try to find a reason for him.This makes sense, Wang Guantong has something to fall into the hands of the white head, for example, he once made a shady deal with the white head, or was caught by the white head, and was forced to write down some evidence and had to betray him. It makes sense. "No, Wang Guantong only took office last year. He used to be Suzhou Biejia. The governor of Tangzhou who was promoted because of his meritorious service cannot have anything to do with Baitou." Du He added: "Or, this Wang Guantong is not Isn’t he a Han? He’s a barbarian?” “No, he’s a serious Han with his ancestral home in Taiyuan.” “Taiyuan Wang?” Almost in unison, the people behind Li Zhen shouted out at the same time, could this really be Is it the handwriting of the blood alliance? "No, although Wang Guantong is also surnamed Wang, he is not Wang's son." "What happened?" "We are also investigating the reason, but Wang Guantong has disappeared since his defection, and he has not been caught yet. He, and we can't find out the specific reason." Qiu He said with regret on his face: "We only know that it was Wang Guantong who used deceitful methods a few days ago to transfer Tangzhou's army to the deep mountains under the pretext of training. He carried out field training in the middle of the country, and then sent the equipment replaced by the army to the border between Baitou and Tangzhou. The [-] Baitou army entered the territory of Datang in such a grandiose manner. The white-headed army, a total of [-] people came to Huanzhou without anyone noticing." "Damn." Li Zhen was full of anger: "What next? Did you only investigate so much? Why didn't you report it to the court?" "For the time being I only found out this little bit, this is our scandal after all, I originally planned to investigate everything thoroughly before pleading guilty to the court, but I didn't expect you to come so soon, Your Highness." Qiu He said in shame, but then, his shame It turned into rejoicing: "Unfortunately, Your Highness, you came quickly enough." "What do you mean?" Li Zhen was even more annoyed: "You can't find out the case, can't you even beat a mere Nanyang monkey?" Lipton immediately helped to defend: "His Royal Highness, it's not that we didn't try our best. It's because there is an elite army of [-] people in Linyi's army. The name is called Jumping Camp. This army is very brave. It's as easy as getting something out of a bag. Facing such an elite, we even need to sacrifice a dozen lives to exchange one life of the other. The reason why we are in a stalemate with Lin Yi now is because of this elite, otherwise why should we ask His Highness for help? Governor of Jiaozhou If the government sends out half of the army at will, they can call Linyi and Baitou Dad." "So powerful?" Li Zhen suddenly became interested: "I don't know how it compares with my young army? But speaking of it, Tiaodang This name is very familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere." Xue Rengui, who was listening, suddenly changed his expression: "Your Highness, when I was studying with my teacher (Li Jing), I once heard the teacher say that the world's elite. One of them This is the name. It is said that when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, in order to adapt to the mountainous terrain of Goguryeo, he selected the best soldiers in the army and formed an elite team called the Tiaodang Army. This army was indeed in the early days of the war. It is invincible and invincible. No matter how high and deep the dangerous city of Goguryeo Mountain is, the jumping army is like walking on flat ground. It is invincible. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty relied heavily on it as his trump card. Every time he encounters a hard battle, he is the jumping army Charge ahead, defeat the enemy and win. But because of this, the Dangdang Army was exhausted very quickly, and it was exhausted by the middle of the war, otherwise it is uncertain who will win the battle of Goguryeo.”

Chapter 340 Jumping Camp

Chapter 1 Jumping Camp

Li Zhenyi clapped his hands: "Oh, now that you said that, I also remembered that there is indeed such an army, and it is said that its strength is even higher than that of Captain Guo Yi."

Fang Yiai said: "So our opponents are actually the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty? And Wang Guantong's ancestors are actually loyal ministers of the former Sui Dynasty. Is this against us? Are we planning to destroy our Tang Dynasty and rebuild the former Sui Dynasty? "

Qiu He shook his head and said: "No, although I thought it was a remnant of the former Sui Dynasty when I heard this name, but after I came to the front line and fought against Tiaodangying in person, I denied this guess. No ability, the only advantage should be to live long enough. In fact, the emperor of Sui Yang conquered Goguryeo, the minister also participated in the battle, and saw the power of the Tiaodang army with his own eyes. Compared with today's Tiaodang camp, The two are not in the same style at all. Today's Tiaodangying is actually a bit similar to another elite Guo Yiwei. If the former Sui Yuchen was in trouble, as the pride of the Sui army, this army with a completely different style could not be called Tiao It’s a battalion. Besides, although the jumping battalion is elite, it’s actually Linyi’s army, how could the former Sui Yuchen entrust such an important title to an army composed of Nanyang monkeys?”

"Yes, what you said makes sense." Li Zhen nodded in agreement, just like the Boys Army. As Li Zhen's hard work, he may allow future generations to reorganize this army, but he absolutely does not allow future generations to use this name Placed on the army formed by the savages - no matter how elite this army is.

"Forget it, regardless of these, let's think about how to fight next? Now that Datang and Linyi Baitou have formed a confrontation, how do you think my [-] troops should be used? Is it to prepare for the so-called jumping camp? Should we hurt each other, or pick the soft ones first, get rid of the whiteheads first, and then fight Lin Yi to the death?" Li Zhen put aside these trivial matters, and turned the question back to the main topic, as for the clues... Skynet and Blood Dragon Guard It's not a dry meal, just let them check it.

Qiu He smiled and said, "Your Highness, haven't you already made a decision? Why do you need to ask the old minister again?"

"But this king still wants to hear your opinion, old man."

"Forget it, since Your Highness wants to know, then the old minister will talk about his own opinions. If there is something wrong, Haiqing will point out Haihan." Qiu He tidied up his words and said, "Actually, your Highness, your two proposals are not the same. How about it, if your Highness only has these two plans, then I have to look down on you, because your vision is too short-sighted."

"Presumptuous." Li Zhen's politeness to Qiu He does not mean that others will be polite to him. Lu Chang, the commander of the death camp, is a man with a strong personality. He himself was discovered by Li Zhen himself, and he respects Li Zhen the most. However, he can be called an absolute supporter of Li Zhen.

At this time, seeing someone dare to say that Li Zhen is short-sighted, he naturally would not agree: "Old man, don't think that you can talk nonsense when you are old. His Royal Highness King Yue respects you, and my fist is not forgiving."

"Shut up and apologize to me quickly." Li Zhen scolded softly: "The old man has rich experience and vision. Since he said that my plan is flawed, he has his reasons. You all listen to me carefully."

"Yes, I'm sorry old man, I apologize." Lu Chang absolutely obeyed Li Zhen's words. Li Zhen asked him to apologize, and he immediately apologized, but there was not much apology in his words.

Qiu and more than 90 people, naturally would not get angry with a strong young man, he smiled and waved his hands and said: "That's all, the young man is right, in fact, Your Highness, your plan is indeed quite good, but the old minister has Different opinions."

"Appreciate further details."

Qiu He didn't answer, but asked with a smile: "May I ask Your Highness, what is the strength of the Boys' Army?"

"Peerless invincible, invincible."
