Chapter 826
At this time, Su Dingfang, who had already vaguely guessed what I wanted to do, put his head over: "Brother Jun, is this suitable?"
Don't worry, Brother Dingfang, I have received the secret order of Your Majesty. I don't think our Tang Wushen Institute has such a large amount of production energy, but I haven't even earned a penny for the country. Don't you feel uncomfortable?" I led the way and said to Su Dingfang with a smile.
Although Su Dingfang kept his pace, his expression also condensed, and he nodded in agreement: "Well, this is the case. Nearly half of the annual taxes of my Tang Dynasty were invested in the army, and this proportion is indeed too large. But now you do this, will it be too much? After all, firearms are the advantageous weapons of my Tang Dynasty."
"You are so kind. I only sell those things that don't have very technical content. Even if the dosage ratio in them is changed, I will make changes." I pulled Su Dingfang closer and smiled in his ear.
Su Dingfang almost laughed out loud, pointed at me, shook his head helplessly, "I said, Brother Jun, it's true, I'm afraid you can only use these tricks in our Tang Dynasty."
I sneered: "What's the matter? I didn't do this in order to keep my Tang Dynasty's advantage in weapons and to get the greatest benefits from it. I have to do this. Not only do I have to keep one hand, but I also have to keep a lot of hand. These are all for my Tang Dynasty. Do you think I'm going to be a fool and sell the best weapons and recipes to potential enemies? At that time, let alone His Majesty, even the entire Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid I'll treat you as a sinner of the country."
Su Dingfang patted my shoulder and raised his thumbs up at me: "No wonder His Majesty's more than ten sons-in-laws dote on you, so if only selling weapons can be done? I'm afraid it will take a year. At least it will bring hundreds of thousands of yuan in income to our Tang Dynasty."
"Hundreds of thousands of coins? Do you think you are giving the beggar floor?" I glanced at Su Dingfang. Before Su Dingfang could come to his senses, I stretched out a finger and turned into five fingers: "I guess. As long as I can handle it, just the weapon sales can at least find this number for me, Datang, for at least a year."
------------------------------------------------
"Five million coins?! Brother Jun, are you dreaming?" Su Dingfang's eyes stood up, looking at me, as if I was a mentally ill patient who was daydreaming. I was so angry that I wanted to kick him and snorted coldly: "Let's see, let you see me, then." Leaving this guy, the uncle led the way forward.
However, Su Dingfang got together with the Persian prince and others. This guy was very talkative. In a short while, he got very close to the Persian prince and others. He laughed lewdly with the Persian prince from time to time, which made people's scalp explode. As for Xue Rengui, who had just shown off his superb archery skills, he also became the object of conversation among these people, but Xue Rengui still looked like he ignored him.
After about a stick of incense, I finally arrived at the place and there was no way. The Military Academy is really too big. This is the territory specially used by the Tang Dynasty Artillery Department to test the artillery. For today's guests, the venue has been specially cleared out. The Tang Dynasty crossbows, which were originally improved by ancient Greek crossbows, have been placed in place. On the side, there are spherical stone balls and giant crossbow arrows. In addition, dozens of pitchers are waiting for us here, all of whom are selected special bomb droppers. Each of them is placed in front of them. There are six large mango-sized grenades, and there is another type of grenade, which has a larger weight and model, and naturally it has greater lethality.
Not only this, but also a variety of large-scale siege and defensive equipment such as catapults, vehicles and crossbows. The Tang Dynasty has begun to completely eliminate these old products, and instead concentrates financial and material resources to produce artillery and mortars. These lethality are stronger, and the range is longer relies on gunpowder as a powerful weapon for driving and destruction.
"Roman Crossbow!" The Persian Empire general exclaimed at the large-scale long-range weapon placed in a prominent position, looking disbelief and surprised.
"Roman Crossbow?" I was stunned when I heard this and stared at the general of the Persian Empire. The Persian general looked at this huge long-range equipment with a dull look. This was just a long-range attack equipment made by using some knowledge I found in ancient Greek classics and combined with the instrument structure of the Tang Dynasty. However, since the longer the range and more powerful weapons such as mortars and artillery, this wooden equipment with an effective shooting distance of nearly 800 meters has become an outdated weapon abandoned by the Tang Dynasty.
"Do you know this thing?" I couldn't help but step forward and asked. The Persian general shrugged regretfully and stuttered at me in his Chinese language that was as bad as the Persian prince: "Dear Lord, I just saw patterns about this weapon in the book of our Persian palace. It is said that ancient Greece was first made. Later, after Greece was annexed by the Roman Empire, the Roman Empire continued to make such powerful killing weapons. During the time of its prosperity, almost every legion or city was found.
We have used this weapon to fight or guard. Our Persian Empire has never been successful. I didn’t expect that we could see it here.”
"This is called Qin crossbow chariot, which was invented by my ancestors of China more than a thousand years ago. This thing can also be made in our Tang Dynasty, and it can be made in all sizes." I smiled and raised my eyebrows proudly.
These people wandered around here for a while, and then focused their eyes on the grenades in front of the bomb droppers or the ammunition beside the catapults. One of the Central Asian barbarians even picked up a grenade and threw it in their hands curiously. I was so scared that I quickly grabbed it: "This thing is not something to play with, it will explode. If it explodes, there are probably not many of us who can survive."
"Explosion?" The Central Asian barbarian had never seen the power of gunpowder weapons, let alone heard of this term. He looked at me in confusion, but soon they realized what explosion was...
—
The crossbow cannon chariot that can accurately aim beat the lamb hundreds of steps away into meat. On the other hand, dozens of special bombers threw the explosive power of the grenade, the powerful long-range strike of the bed crossbow, and the ammunition shot by the improved catapult... All of this seemed like a nightmare, wandering in the minds of the Persian prince and the envoys of the small Central Asian countries for a long time. Even after taking a cup of tea in my office, the face of the Persian prince was still red like that of ordinary people. The envoys of the Central Asian countries around him looked at us, and the respectful and fearful eyes made us, the Tang people, feel proud.
------------------------------------------------
Although they were all modified defective products, the barbarians who had seen the power of gunpowder weapons for the first time were completely stunned. You know, I not only changed the ratio of gunpowder, but also incorporated some other useless raw materials, which made these people unable to crack the secret of gunpowder.
As for artillery and mortars, these two items are strategic weapons of the Tang Dynasty that are absolutely forbidden to be transported outward. As for gunpowder, the formula is preserved in the palace and controlled by Uncle Li himself. The officials who know how to match gunpowder are the only ones who know how to mix gunpowder, and the craftsmen who dispensed medicine are also closely monitored by the Tang Dynasty and the military. It can even be said that these craftsmen will never leave the sight of the Tang Dynasty and the military in their lifetime, in order to prevent the leakage of the gunpowder formula.
Perhaps decades or even more than a hundred years later, people from other countries may have discovered the raw materials and ratios of gunpowder, but by that time, the Tang Dynasty may have more powerful weapons.
Therefore, it is better to take advantage of this time to make a fortune in war, to create foreign exchange for our Tang Dynasty, increase the country's income, and at the same time let the court see that the role of weapons is not only used in war, but also to make the country prosperous and strong.
"After seeing him recently, Xiao Wang realized that he was like a frog in the well. The martial arts of the Tang Dynasty were probably invincible in the world!" The Persian prince looked sad, and he saw Su Dingfang and I smiled at each other. It was a very good thing. How could I say that, compared with the Tang Dynasty, Persia was at most a little fart child who was wearing a butt curtain and dragging two noses on the ground to count ants. However, the Tang Dynasty was a giant man with a helmet and armor, holding a murder weapon in his hands.
"Today I was invited by the Lord, and finally let Xiao Wang see the powerful military style of the Celestial Kingdom and those weapons that can be almost sensible as magical weapons. I have gained my knowledge. In order to express Xiao Wang's gratitude to you, Xiao Wang is the East today, please gather together, which is also considered to be a friend. I hope Lord Fang, the lord and generals of the Celestial Kingdom should not refuse." The Persian prince's sincere attitude made me unable to refuse, and I also know that the prince's prince must talk to us for this banquet, so after a few humble words, he gave up and went to eat and drink together.
