The flames engulfing the mountainside made everyone tremble and feel terrified.
It was the first time they had seen such a horrific explosion.
Not to mention humans, even the immortals on earth would have no chance of survival.
"Due to the power of the Shenwu Cannon, I will place a hundred of them at the three passes of Hulao, Yanmen, and Longmen as a divine weapon to defend against foreign enemies. Other important passes will also be guarded by at least ten Shenwu Cannons."
Shocked!
It is also naked suppression by force.
Only then did everyone understand why Li Shouxi wanted to demonstrate this exercise.
The purpose was that the New Tang Dynasty had just been established and needed absolute military force to intimidate the surrounding countries, so Li Shouxi used such a deadly weapon.
After unifying Yongzhou, Li Shouxi needed to recuperate.
Even if everyone guessed Li Shouxi's purpose, after showing such strength, those who wanted to cause trouble would definitely not dare to make a move again.
They don't want to be the first chicken to be warned!
After all, the New Tang has absolute power to intimidate all the strong.
If Li Shouxi had not been a bastard's son, perhaps the old Tang Dynasty would have ushered in a period of prosperity.
No one present was a fool. It was true that Li Shouxi was assassinated, but who could be sure that this was not Li Shouxi's plan?
It is not an uncommon strategy to intervene personally.
Courage is what Li Shouxi has the most.
"Hundred Battles Divine Crossbow!"
The Hundred Battles Divine Crossbow?
Under the curious and puzzled gazes of the crowd, hundreds of armored soldiers carrying heavy crossbows came out.
The heavy crossbow is a strategic weapon. Five people have one heavy crossbow. The power of twenty heavy crossbows is enough to change the outcome of a battlefield. Moreover, the New Tang Empire cannot have only these twenty crossbows.
One person draws the bow and puts the arrow on it, two people rotate the composite spool in the middle, and two people calibrate the longitude and latitude.
In less than ten breaths, you are fully prepared and can release the mechanism at any time.
"put!"
One crossbow holds nine arrows, and not only is its power undiminished, but twenty heavy crossbows can even shoot out thousands of arrows at once.
A hundred feet away, a group of scarecrows were hit by nearly half of the stray arrows.
Moreover, the crossbow arrow is so powerful that it can penetrate the body directly.
If there were hundreds of heavy crossbows, coupled with the ability to quickly change arrows, a few rounds would be enough to cause serious damage to the vitality of a hundred thousand soldiers.
"Hundred Battle Crossbows!"
Ballista?
Amidst everyone's confusion, an elephant entered the main venue.
Everyone immediately thought of the crossbows on the backs of the elephant soldiers, which were similar in style to the Hundred Battles Divine Crossbow, but the Hundred Battles Divine Crossbow was only a heavy crossbow, while the Hundred Battles Divine Crossbow Cannon was of the crossbow level!
So when everyone thought of this, they realized that this was an upgraded version of the Hundred Battles Divine Crossbow.
Moreover, it is carried by elephant soldiers, which shows that it is definitely more terrifying than the Hundred Battles Divine Crossbow.
Another five people assembled a Hundred Battles Divine Crossbow, and finally took out the crossbow that had been prepared long ago from the elephant soldiers. It was a huge crossbow, a few feet long, and it didn't look special.
"Get ready to release!"
Whoosh!
A harsh hissing sound caused by friction between the air.
Then everyone saw that the crossbow that was originally flying suddenly shot out six small arrows like sky-high monkeys, which accelerated a second time in the air.
In the blink of an eye, all the crossbow arrows had flown to the limit of their sight.
boom! boom! boom
Suddenly, six loud roars rang out at the same time, and everyone looked towards the smoke in the distance.
The Hundred Battles God Machine Cannon, that’s what it is!
Compared with the Shenwu Cannon, the Baizhanshen Machine Gun is easier to carry and can fire six rounds of ammunition at a time, which completely makes up for the lack of power.
Combined with the speed and quantity of arrow replacement, everyone knew what kind of terrible lethal weapon this was.
The Daming Palace at night is magnificent and bright as day!
The bright and odorless kundalini fire of spermaceti, coupled with the refraction of the surrounding golden and silk walls, illuminated every corner of the hall like an incandescent lamp in later times.
After an afternoon of arrangements, in addition to the singing and dancing to liven up the atmosphere in the hall, the tables and chairs also became more formal.
Eight major cuisines are presented one by one according to the tastes of various regions.
Wine, food, and beauty
In addition to the display of weapons, the legacy of the prosperous Tang Dynasty will also be on display.
Therefore, Li Shouxi specially arranged war dances to liven up the atmosphere, similar to the sacrificial war songs of primitive tribes; sword performances, Pei Sheng's flying swordsmanship; Gongsun Da Niang's sword dance
Li Shouxi even launched the Yuanxi Chongbao coins.
Yuanxi is the reign title, which is opposite to Zhenguan!
Yuan is derived from the four virtues of Yuan, Heng, Li and Zhen, which means the beginning of all things; Xi is a sign of brightness, prosperity and auspiciousness.
This year is the second year of Yuanxi!
Because the first year of Yuanxi began with Li Shouxi and the Thirteen Prefectures of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, each founding coin was cast in a ratio of three parts gold and seven parts copper, and its appearance was more dazzling than pure gold.
As the end approached, the crowd still didn't hear what they wanted.
Such as the imperial prince, cabinet selection, six ministries appointment, political reform
These are the top priorities for the future of the empire, but Li Shouxi had no intention of revealing anything.
In this empire, Li Shouxi was the dictator.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to come to Changchun Palace tonight!"
Inside the Qianqing Palace, Li Shouxi, who had just washed up after getting rid of the smell of alcohol, and Mei Jian outside had already arranged Li Shouxi's bedtime for the day.
To add to the joy, Mei Jian arranged for Princess Shenxiu to sleep with him tonight.
After half a year of fighting in the Central Plains and a year of supervising the construction of the new capital, many of the flower buds in Li Shouxi's backyard have bloomed.
But Li Shouxi was away starting a business, so he had to stay alone in the empty house.
Today is the founding ceremony of the country, a festive day, so Mei Jian arranged for Li Shouxi to come to Changchun Palace to favor this divine girl who may break through to the level of a double-level grandmaster.
At this time, the fourth daughter of Mei Jian was also promoted to the status of a talented person, responsible for Li Shouxi's daily life.
Chapter 390: Falling Red is Not a Heartless Thing
"Meng Tian, what do you think?"
In the state guesthouse, Fusu told Meng Tian everything he had seen in the martial arts arena today.
At this time, Meng Tian was also shocked. He thought someone was assassinating him when he heard the loud noises coming from the back mountain. He didn't expect it was a drill.
"The wrath of the Suzaku! The divine cannon! The Hundred Battles Divine Crossbow~!
Any weapon appearing on the battlefield can change the situation of a battle of 100,000 people, especially if someone dares to use it and is not afraid of being restrained.
My Lord, this new Tang Emperor wants to shock all the nations."
“Yes, although there were several major disturbances in Liaodong during the time of the Prince of Yan’s Mansion, in the final analysis, the Prince of Yan’s Mansion never engaged in direct combat with the enemy, and the same is true for the unification of the Central Plains this time.
Especially on the front battlefield, there are few who can compete with it.
Therefore, the New Tang Dynasty also wanted to intimidate other countries and did not want to have any disputes with them.
However, the millions of New Tang warriors are so powerful that they are not suitable for a head-on confrontation with the Qin Dynasty."
Even when the Qin Dynasty swept across the six kingdoms, it rarely engaged in direct fighting.
After all, the strength of the soldiers is relatively equal. In a one-on-one fight, not to mention one for one, even if it is one for two, the soldiers of the six countries could replace all the elite soldiers of Qin.
Bai Qi, who was known as the Man-Slayer in those days, except for the massacre of Zhao soldiers, in the other three battles with more than 200,000 soldiers, the casualty ratio did not exceed one to two.
Fusu's analysis was very thorough, but he never expected that Li Shouxi's ambitions went beyond that.
Li Shouxi wanted to recuperate for ten years, just like when the Qin Dynasty built the Zhengguo Canal and accumulated the foundation to sweep across the six kingdoms.
Li Shouxi had the same purpose.
It’s just that Li Shouxi doesn’t want to sweep across the six kingdoms, but across the nine provinces.
Therefore, Li Shouxi used the remaining power of these domineering weapons to intimidate the surrounding countries for ten years, waiting for expansion ten years later.
It wasn't just Fusu and Meng Tian. After returning, the envoys from various countries were all wary of the strength revealed by the New Tang Dynasty.
Those weapons don't need to annihilate them completely, just the rumbling thunder is enough to crush their morale.
What’s more, the power is so great that it is an earth-shaking blanket bombing.
In just one round, let alone killing a lot of people, just the intimidation can scare away millions of armors.
Inside the Changchun Palace.
At this time, Princess Shenxiu, who was wearing a red kimono and a phoenix crown, had a shy blush on her originally cold and beautiful face, exuding a charming and seductive aura.
Red lips and white teeth, eyebrows like distant black, eyes like stars
Such a pure and otherworldly girl seemed like a fairy who had fallen into the human world. Even Li Shouxi had to sigh that the once divine girl had grown up.
Before, she was so beautiful that she seemed otherworldly, but now she is the stunningly beautiful goddess of Luoshui.
Even the strange kimono and shawl could not conceal her proud and slender figure and her graceful waist and collar.
"Husband!"
With a clear and charming cry, the girl's shy face looked even more red as blood under Li Shouxi's fiery gaze.
"Let's go to bed first!"
When the curtain fell, Li Shouxi had already embraced the beauty.
The hibiscus tent is warm, and the petals fall silently.
Overnight, another fairy fell into the mortal world.
The next day, Li Shouxi stayed in bed for a rare time. At the same time, looking at the haggard-looking beauty beside him, he couldn't help feeling pity for her.
Sure enough, Princess Shenxiu not only broke through the Great Finger Mysterious Realm, but her skills also reached the Taoist realm of the unity of man and nature, and she was half a step into the level of human immortal.
Moreover, Princess Shenxiu's original Flower Burial Slash had also reached a breakthrough level.
Because burying flowers and picking up the fallen petals does not mean being heartless!
Fallen petals are falling flowers, from which the most passionate sword art is derived.
"My husband, Shenxiu will serve you."
"Have a good rest and pay your respects to mother at noon."
Li Shouxi kissed her forehead and asked Princess Shenxiu to rest slowly. At the same time, he instructed the Japanese maid Xueluo to take good care of Princess Shenxiu.
Now that the grand ceremony was over, there were many matters that needed to be dealt with.
After all, with all the officials gathered together at this time, a new system and important powers need to be re-planned.
Li Shouxi had to discuss all other arrangements with a group of veteran ministers except those decided by the cabinet itself.
After all, he is not omnipotent, nor omniscient.
Inside Wenyuan Pavilion!
At this time, in addition to the original Shen Luoyan and Li Bei, there were ten more old officials in the cabinet, all of whom were veterans of three dynasties and were the foundation left by the Tang Emperor to Li Shouxi.
Although Li Shouxi planned everything, Emperor Tang did not blame Li Shouxi.
Because they knew clearly that Li Shouxi was doing this to protect himself, and more importantly, to eliminate the cancer at the root of the Tang Dynasty - the aristocratic families!
