Don't be a prince

Fang Xuanling also laughed: "That's the so-called conspiracy. Regardless of whether it is a conspiracy, it is actually a bad thing. However, for our Tang Dynasty, although the old man's methods are not shameful, they are worthy of praise. As for the new ones in the future The insults of the Luobaiji people to the old man, the old man under the nine springs, will not take it seriously."

After whispering, Fang Xuanling and Li Youcai entered the venue. The Queen of Silla and the King of Baekje, who had been waiting here for a long time, were hesitant. When they saw the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty and the King of Qi coming, they quickly stood up and followed the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty.

Although they are all the lords of a country, they can only bow their heads to Fang Xuanling and Li You here.It wasn't until Fang Xuanling asked them to sit down that they sat down tremblingly.

Taking out the contract, Fang Xuanling ordered someone to send it to the Queen of Silla and the King of Baekje, saying: "As a dependent country, your rebellion should have been unforgivable. But looking outside Beisha City, your loss is really serious." For the sake of the seriousness, this old man will not pursue you too much, after signing this contract, this old man can act as if nothing happened."

The Queen of Silla glanced at the content of the contract, and finally couldn't hold back her voice: "Silla must provide [-] labor per year to mine for Datang? This, this is too much!"

The King of Baekje also exclaimed, he couldn't even speak Tanghua anymore.

After the translation by the tonguesman, I realized that what he said was: "Five times the annual tribute? This, this is robbery!"

Facing the shocked Queen of Silla and the King of Baekje, Li You sneered and said, "It's okay not to sign, let's talk about the matter of rebellion. You have also seen Korea, and now it has been completely destroyed. There are five people in Beisha city. In Goryeo, the Tang army still has [-] troops, plus the warships moored in the bay, I don't mind completely wiping you out."

Facing the powerful actor Li You, the Queen of Silla and the King of Baekje trembled.

All along, because there is no direct conflict of interest, they have only a vague concept of Datang's power.However, after the world attacked Tang this time, they finally understood.

In front of Datang, perhaps, Silla Baekje did not even have the qualifications to be seen.

Chapter 523 Rocket

After re-examining the contracts written in Tang script and Silla/Baekje script, the Queen of Silla and the King of Baekje felt that each of them was stepping on their most sensitive bottom line.

Dispatching labor and increasing annual tribute are just the most basic two.Among them, including themselves, they have to go to Tang Chang'an for a pilgrimage every five years, and their princes must be included in the annual tribute envoys...

In the past, when they saw this contract, they would definitely quit.Even if Datang wanted to deal with them, he had to take down Goryeo first.And fighting across the sea is even more difficult.

However, the reality is.Now, Goryeo has perished, completely perished.And Datang's sea power has advanced by leaps and bounds, making it not too easy to attack them across the sea.

What made them most desperate was that even though the battle line was stretched so far, Tang Jun's supplies still had no problems.

It can be said that as long as Datang wants to, he can completely destroy them.

The Tang Prime Minister's guarantee, they all saw that it was unreliable, but...

What choice can they make?They didn't doubt that Datang still had the ability to easily destroy them now.

Holding the contract, the fragile Queen of Silla burst into tears.

The King of Baekje on the other side was also in great pain.This contract is clearly aimed at them, and they must implement it in accordance with the above contract, but Datang can go back on his word at any time.However, this is the relationship between the strong and the weak, the weak have no choice at all!

Seeing that the Queen was crying, Bidan, the chief of Silla, came over and said in Silla language: "Deman, don't cry, we have no choice, we can only obey. At the beginning, we should have listened to Jin Geng's letter, Yuan Gai Su Wen's rhetoric can't conceal his goal of solving the crisis for Goryeo. It's us, we underestimated the power of Datang!

After returning to the country, I will help you with all the crimes, and I will be alone for everything. We must always have an explanation to our subjects. "

Hearing Bitan's words, Queen Seondeok cried even louder, couldn't help but hugged his arm, and then pressed her handprint on the contract, and put the Silla fuse on it.

Seeing that Silla had already signed the contract, the King of Baekje suddenly became sad.Holding the contract in his hand, he looked tentatively at Fang Xuanling and asked, "I can sign it, but please return my crown prince to me."

Fang Xuanling looked back at Zhang Liang, saw Zhang Liang shaking his head, and said, "Your prince, you can take him back when you come to the Tang Dynasty in person. As a defeated country, the captives are to be shown to the Tang Dynasty." The common people are watching, if there is no capture in such a big battle, I am afraid that our common people will blame our soldiers for failing!"

The King of Baekje knew very well that Fang Xuanling's words were farting, and he was humiliating Baekje nakedly.

However....

He could only bear this humiliation.

Reluctantly putting his hand on the inkpad, the King of Baekje also pressed his handprint on the contract.

There were two copies of the contract, one was owned by Fang Xuanling, and the other was kept by Silla and Baekje.

Although this is a humiliation for the two countries, they have no way to vent this contract.Because, perhaps these two contracts can be used as a condition for them to resist Datang's oppression beyond the contract.

Wiping away her tears, Queen Shande said, "Please return our commander-in-chief Jin Gengxin to us."

Li You said helplessly: "Baekje couldn't get there even if they wanted a crown prince. If you want a general, you can do it? Listen clearly, if you want someone, go to the Tang Dynasty for a pilgrimage in person. After the pilgrimage, you can take it back. "

Seeing what the queen wanted to say, Bitan hurriedly held her down, cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, we will go to Datang to lead him, but before we leave, please let us see him."

Li You rolled his eyes, shook his head and said, "Excuse me, if you see him dead, I won't be able to explain it when I go back. If you want to bring him back as soon as possible, you should come to Tang Dynasty for a pilgrimage as soon as possible."

Fang Xuanling glanced at Li You in surprise, and couldn't help but stick out her thumb under the table.

Li You saw Fang Xuanling's movements, he chuckled, put away the contract, got up and left.

Fang Xuanling followed closely, leaving the queen of Silla and the king of Baekje alone who were crying and crying secretly.

Entering Beisha City, Li You couldn't help but gave Fang Xuanling a thumbs up and said: "I didn't expect them to really agree, a labor force of [-] for a country. If the Ministry of Households wants to mine Goryeo's coal mines in the future, it can save a lot You said, should we go to the household department and tell them about our house being too old?"

Fang Xuanling laughed and said, "That's natural. It just so happens that the eldest grandson Wuji is going back soon. I really want to see how he plucks his hair, haha. But then again, His Highness King Qi, you can see at a glance Tan's thoughts really surprised the old minister."

Li You said helplessly: "I'm really worthless for Jin Gengxin. I heard from Zhang Liang that it was Jin Gengxin who protested against Datang in Silla before, and it was Jin Gengxin who led the troops to fight in the cold winter and fight against Beisha City. In the end, only when they were defeated Only then did they realize that Jin Geng believed in him well.

So what if you find out?The life of a famous general of the generation is actually not as important as the queen's face.I really don't know what to say!Thinking back to when my father commanded the generals to attack Baiyan City, Li Ashina Simo, the general of the right guard, was hit by a crossbow arrow, and my father personally sucked blood to heal his wounds before the battle.

This incident is widely circulated in the military even now.It has been almost a year since I left my homeland in the lobby, and no soldier shouted homesick.Now it seems that Silla is nothing more than that. "

Fang Xuanling smiled wryly and said: "Actually, not only the Queen of Silla, but also the King of Baekje and the King of Korea. It's not all because of arrogance. These people, knowing their own humbleness, insist on Regardless of face, the majesty is all used on one's own people."

Li You waved his hand and said, "Talking about them is really boring."

Thinking of the torture along the way by boat, he couldn't help asking: "Master Fang, look, shall we take the opportunity to visit Pyongyang, and then go back to Datang in Yingzhou? Very curious."

Fang Xuanling originally wanted to say what is so good about a place that is not as good as the state capital of Tang Dynasty, but seeing Li You's expression, he immediately agreed: "I think it is feasible, let's go back to the country by land. I am old, really I can't stand the bumps."

One old and one young, one phase and one king, all sighed with lingering fear...

Wa country - Pingcheng capital

Seeing the so-called "emperor" trembling in the cage and yelling "Onigai", Du Mingze wondered if he had arrested the wrong person.

Zhao Shouchun was called, and Du Mingze pointed to the well-dressed man in the prison car and asked, "You're not mistaken, is this the Emperor of Japan? Why are you as cowardly as a maggot?"

Zhao Shouchun smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, the nobles of the Japanese country are like this. The warriors under their command are the ones who really risk their lives. When it comes to themselves, there are very few outstanding people. They all rely on the power of the family and the power of the nobles." , oppressed downward, and when he met a more powerful person, he immediately gave up.

This person is indeed very good, and I have already asked many people about it. "

Speechlessly glanced at Qin Ming, Du Mingze pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist, and slashed at the pillar of the prison car. Immediately, the sounds of "Onigai" became "Elegant Butterfly". It was wet all of a sudden.

Looking at Qin Ming speechlessly, Du Mingze really couldn't connect him with a king-level figure.Just like a bear, but also the emperor?He is not worthy of carrying shoes for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

Flicking the horizontal knife, he took out a piece of parchment from his arms and handed it to Zhao Shouchun. Du Mingze said: "This is the contract that the prince gave me. Please translate it and let this guy sign it. By the way, what is Mount Fuji? Where? The crown prince ordered me to station troops there to supervise the mining of the Japanese people, since we have to stay in the Japanese country for two years, let’s go there earlier.”

Zhao Shouchun smiled bitterly and said, "What His Royal Highness said, it should be the holy mountain of the Japanese people. If you know the place, you can take the manager there. Just take it with you, and I will translate the contract for him."

"Holy Mountain, the place His Highness chose is really good. Quickly translate, when the barracks are built and new tongues arrive, you can go back to Datang, and remember to bring peace to this general's family."

Can't help looking to the west, Zhao Shouchun's tears flowed out immediately, and he promised to start translating.

Chang'an - Liangyi Hall

Li Shimin counted the success stories one by one, and he was bored, so he could only silently recite the contents one by one.

Fighting across the board, I didn't expect everyone to come over.Now, the defeated country has either started to pay compensation to Datang, or is trembling because of Datang's revenge, or is devastated because the Tang army has already fought over.Today's Datang is like a giant dragon that has been harassed into its territory by a rascal snake, venting its anger to the surroundings.

It's just a pity that I missed such a bloody war.

It's Hou Junji's fault!

But thinking back to the scene where Hou Junji cried himself to death after counting his sins that day, Li Shimin realized that he really couldn't hate him too harshly.

Opening the map remarked by the prince, Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the land that Datang was about to increase.These were all things that he planned to clean up by himself and hand them over to the crown prince to inherit. Unexpectedly, due to an accident, the crown prince had to endure these in advance, and surprisingly, he never showed any softness from the beginning to the end.

In the end, he is like Lao Tzu, ruthless enough, especially the order given to Feng An. Li Shimin never thought that the crown prince would not even let Dashi go, and sent a fleet to expedition Dashi.Not to capture the territory, but to retaliate for the coast, forcing Dashi to ask for mercy.

He reached out and tapped on Dashi's position, but Li Shimin shook his head.It's too far away, even if they have a lot of stone paint, they can't get it off.

Right now, the land of the Tang Dynasty is enough to make jokes for hundreds of years, and if there is more, it will be suspected of bursting the stomach.

A bowl of decoction was placed on the emperor's desk. The eldest grandson glanced at the finished memorial on the table with frowning eyes, and said angrily, "You shouldn't have sat for so long. Daozhang Sun said that you should lie flat. Go on like this." , what about your legs?"

Li Shimin said: "Before that bastard leaves, he has already been ordered to do things, so there are not many memorials that need to be reviewed. As for Sun Daozhang's words, you really should listen to them, but if you want me to do nothing for a day, just lie down." Being there makes me feel more uncomfortable than Ling Chi."

Seeing the emperor's wry smile, the grandson sighed and knelt down on the ground.

Seeing the eldest grandson like this, Li Shimin was not surprised. He stretched out his hand to support the eldest grandson, and smiled bitterly: "I know what you want to say, but it's still early, and there are still some things that I have to arrange for Chengqian. Otherwise, you Do you think why I agreed to let Chengqian go to Gaochang? It is because the chances for him to run around freely are running out!"

Seeing what the emperor said, the eldest grandson stood up and dressed his husband with medicine.

After drinking a bowl of medicine, Li Shimin reached out and tapped the East Cuan, West Cuan and other places, tapped a few more vigorously, and said to his eldest grandson, "Grind the ink for me, and I will pass the decree to Feng An."

The eldest grandson agreed, and began to grind ink for the emperor.

Yanqi—the capital of Yanqi

Looking at the army assembled outside Yanqi's capital, Li Chengqian said contemptuously: "You really don't take Gu's words seriously, do you think Gu really can't continue the war?"

Qizong Nongzan, who insisted on following along and was only allowed to follow with a hundred guards, took Li Chengqian's binoculars, took a look and said: "Although the country is small, it is the king after all. They are reluctant to bear power. For them As far as I am concerned, I always have the idea of ​​taking an alternative path in case it doesn’t work.”

Li Chengqian snorted coldly and said: "Then they guessed wrong. Gu's kindness only existed before the order. Now that they are not ordered and choose to resist, don't blame Gu for being cruel. Qingque, destroy the capital of Yanqi .”

With a promise, Li Tai smiled and called his subordinates to take out the weapons he had brought.

Qi Zong Nongzan frowned, looked at Yanqi Kingdom in the distance and said, "His Royal Highness, if you want to destroy this city, you will probably need a lot of gunpowder weapons, the biggest gunpowder weapon, not more than ten." , it’s impossible.”

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Just wait and see."

Qi Zong was not in a hurry to praise, but looked at the city ahead.

Soon, a group of Tang troops escorted two carriages from one side. They did not pass by the army, but avoided it from a distance, and detoured to the front of the Tang army.

The coalition forces of Yanqi and other countries didn't know what the Tang army was going to do, so they didn't dare to make any changes for a while.

Qi Zong Nongzan held his own binoculars, so Li Chengqian had no choice but to ask for Yu Tai's. Yu Tai and Guo Xiaoke could only take a look at the carriage in the distance.

On the carriage, there are big guys on board, which look like long buckets, but the front end is pointed.It looks like an enlarged version of the arrow, but the arrow feathers are much larger than ordinary feathers, and they are still made of iron.

Seeing the sharp arrowhead, Li Chengqian felt very sad.Such a design does look majestic, but the long-distance flight really affects the stability.

However, in the future exploration, they can experience it by themselves, so they don't need to talk too much.

With the installation of each rocket in place, after calculating the time, the fuze was cut off, and the gunpowder department in charge of the launch belonged to, after the fuze was ignited, the carriages were all gone, and one by one rode back towards the army formation on horseback.

Finally, the fuze ignited the tail of the rocket, and a burst of flames gushed out, and the rocket on the guide frame took off directly.

Seeing this scene, both Yu Tai and Guo Xiaoke couldn't help exclaiming: "This thing can fly by itself?"

What shocked them was obviously not over yet. A total of four rockets took off, two of which flew towards the capital of Yanqi, and two towards the troops of various countries.

Then....

It was a violent explosion!

Although one of the two shots that flew towards the formation exploded before it landed, the effect was the same.

Huang Minglei is fierce enough!But in front of this new type of rocket, they can only eat farts!

Even though it was far away, through the binoculars, one could still see stumps and broken arms falling into the smoke.

These two shots, even though the military formations of various countries are very loose, still cleared nearly one-fifth of the soldiers and horses.

And the capital of Yanqi...

As far as the naked eye can see, even through a telescope, there is no complete house left.

Seeing the power of the rocket with his own eyes, Qi Zong Nongzan immediately let go of the telescope, but fortunately Zhang Yun quickly grabbed it, so it didn't break.Today's telescopes are very fragile, and a slight bump may cause problems.

Looking at the chaotic army and the smoky city of Yanqi, Qi Zong was very grateful that he did not challenge Datang.Even the largest gunpowder weapon that Tang Jun used before is not so powerful!In the future, who would dare to compete with Datang?This is no longer something that can be done by manpower, even on the high plateau, those masters of the Bon religion who pretend to be gods and ghosts can't make up such a powerful weapon.

This is the mighty power that can only be possessed by a god!

Seeing the scene where the nitrocellulose rocket exploded with his own eyes, Li Chengqian was also very excited.

He didn't expect that those lunatic Taoist priests in the scientific research institute would come up with the results so quickly.They obviously don't know the chemical formula, they don't know the esterification reaction, they don't know the chemical bond, but they figured out the nitrocellulose through repeated experiments.Although this thing is so unstable that when it is transported, it even needs to be sprinkled with water to keep it moist to prevent it from blowing up.

However, the appearance of nitrocellulose allowed Li Chengqian to see the dawn of the Tang army using TNT grenades in his lifetime.

Seeing that all four rockets exploded successfully, only one exploded early, but it had an effect, Li Tai was also insane, and even howled.

In order to study this thing, the scientific research institute killed more than double digits.Even his former chief guard was seriously injured trying to protect him, and he, who was protected, also vomited a few mouthfuls of blood.After vomiting blood, think about the crisis that Datang is facing, but he still has to continue his research with a limp.

Although this thing was rated as dangerous by the emperor's brother, it is not suitable for military use, but their efforts were not in vain!

Pickling cotton is not enough, there is always another substance that can replace this unstable uncle, complete the replacement of black gunpowder, and make Datang's weapons even more powerful!

Seeing Li Tai crying out, Li Chengqian felt bad.Although he didn't know how the nitrocellulose was made, he could understand the difficulty of climbing a mountain for the blind.Jumping off the horse and wrapping his arms around Li Tai's shoulders, Li Chengqian comforted him: "Don't cry, Qing Que, you are doing well, Brother Huang is proud of you! One day, you will be able to perfect it!"

Li Tai laughed and nodded, took out a wine jug from his arms, and poured it with Li Chengqian.

On the prairie, it was obviously scorching heat, but the soldiers approached to see the bustling Ashina Helu, but they were sweating all over their backs.

Looking at the Turkic elders behind him, Ashina Helu said with a wry smile: "Do you still think that we should fight Datang to the end? Now, Datang is no longer a country we need to bow our knees to. Kneel, there is no other way to go!"
