Film and TV: Starting from the marriage with Zhao Linger

In the research of gunpowder, Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall considers itself second to none, and no other force dares to claim to be first.

But after coming to Liaodong, Lei finally realized that he was the frog in the well! "

"What? How is that possible?"

What is the power of Jiangnan Thunderbolt Bomb?

Although it could not threaten the masters present, its power was unquestionable. Even a seventh-rank master would not dare to take it head-on.

At this time, no one expected that there was a kind of thunder bomb in Prince Yan's Mansion, whose power was far greater than that of Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall. How could everyone not be shocked?

“You all don’t have to doubt it. Even though the barbarian camp was attacked and the plague broke out, many people escaped!

Especially regarding the details of this battle, if the killing range of Jiangnan Thunderbolt Bomb is three meters, then the killing range of Yanwang Mansion Thunderbolt Bomb is five meters, the difference in power is not a little bit! "

It seems like a difference of only two meters, but in fact it is a qualitative change.

The Jiangnan Thunderbolt Bomb only has the air wave damage of the shock wave at a distance of ten feet, but the Thunderbolt Bomb still has the heat wave damage of the fire impact at a distance of three feet, so how can it cover more than five feet?

The huge disparity in the power of these explosions made Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall take it very seriously.

However, Lei Zhentian was not stupid enough to go directly to Prince Yan's Mansion to ask for advice, or sneak into the three major workshops, because he knew that these two would definitely not work.

How is it possible that gunpowder, such an extremely important weapon, could be produced in the three major workshops in Liaodong?

This is the difference between a civilian worker and a military worker!

But after spying for so long, Lei Zhentian still couldn't find the place where Yan Wangfu produced gunpowder. Even if he started spying from the source of the gunpowder, he still couldn't find any trace.

When Lei Zhentian was about to give up, suddenly thirteen huge rockets shocked him again.

Thunder bombs, thirteen large rockets, the Prince of Yan's Mansion definitely hides an extremely mysterious firearms manufacturing base!

Chapter 107 Jiang Ni's Change of Mindset

"Ling'er, you weren't scared by the explosion, were you?"

After escaping from the gentle embrace of Yan Shisanniang and Atuya, Li Shouxi returned to Prince Yan's Mansion as soon as possible.

Although the land of gentleness is beautiful, Li Shouxi's family cannot cope with it.

Because of the horrific shock just now, the entire Fengtian City was in an uproar, and the women in Prince Yan's Mansion gathered at the highest point of the seven-story palace, watching the raging fire outside the city that was still illuminating half the sky red.

It had been three quarters of an hour, and the raging fire not only showed no sign of dying out, but burned even more vigorously.

Fortunately, Mei Jian had already informed them before.

The tiger's roar was the signal, the first explosion was the guidance, and finally it was the tremor that shook the entire Fengtian City.

That was Li Shouxi's deterrence against various forces that infiltrated Liaodong!

“Don’t worry, my husband. With Sister Mei Jian’s reminder, Ling’er wasn’t frightened.

My dear, with such a terrifying firearm, no one was hurt outside the city, right?"

“Haha, Ling’er, don’t worry.

In the morning, I had people clear out all the households within a radius of 29 feet and relocate them to the new village that was just built yesterday. Life there will be more convenient.

Moreover, this explosion was just a drill. I have not yet reached the cruel level of using human lives to test the power of firearms!"

Li Shouxi looked at the worry in Zhao Linger's eyes, chuckled, and took her into his arms to comfort her.

He went on to explain:

“These things are not used to kill people, but for self-preservation.

Without these things, the Prince of Yan's Mansion and even Liaodong would have been a feast for all the major forces; but with these things, peace and prosperity could be guaranteed in Liaodong for a hundred years.

People have no intention of harming tigers, but tigers hurt people's hearts!

It’s just like what I told you last time about worshiping the moon and the aristocratic family.

If Nanzhao had absolute strength, or could intimidate Baiyue's power, then Nanzhao would not have fallen to this point.

Similarly, the peace and prosperity of Liaodong was not maintained by scholars' preaching, but was protected by absolute strength. This is the real Kyushu.

A strong force may not kill people, but it cannot be absent, otherwise it will be bullied by others! "

Li Shouxi's explanation was like enlightenment, making Jiang Ni and Li Sili both show expressions of agreement.

If Western Chu was strong enough back then, how could the country be destroyed and the people ruined?

If the former Crown Prince of Nanqing was powerful enough, how could his family be destroyed?

The cause of all suffering is lack of strength!

Only with great strength can we protect everything.

Moreover, they never saw Li Shouxi bullying others. On the contrary, what they saw was that Li Shouxi used his powerful strength to protect the prosperity of the Prince of Yan's Mansion and the peace in Liaodong.

This is the spirit of a king!

If Li Shouxi was really ambitious, there would be no need for him to fight against the aristocratic families for the sake of the people of Liaodong.

Offending the noble families meant that Li Shouxi was getting further and further away from the throne of the emperor. They didn't believe that Li Shouxi couldn't see this. But Li Shouxi still didn't compromise afterwards. Instead, he insisted on fighting against the noble families and protecting the peace in Liaodong. This was what they admired.

But if it weren't for Li Shouxi's insistence, how would they have had the chance to be sent for marriage?

At that time, the marriage will definitely be between the real Princess of Beiliang and the Grand Princess of Northern Qi.

Because that is the real effective bargaining chip.

Thinking of this, the two girls looked at the boy's broad back with tenderness and affection.

Although I am somewhat reluctant to share this with others, who is their father?

The Emperor of Western Chu and the Prince of Southern Qing!

Whose concubines were not more than ten times more than Li Shouxi at that time, and Jiang Ni's mother was even known as the most beautiful woman in the world.

At Li Shouxi’s level, marriage is not something he decides on his own.

Just like Zhu Wusi was unable to marry Su Xin because the royal family disagreed, even his most beloved girl could not enter the palace.

"Your Majesty, what if this firearm falls into the hands of someone else?"

Jiang Ni frowned slightly and expressed her concerns.

In Li Shouxi's hands, this kind of firearm can protect the Prince of Yan's Mansion and guard Liaodong, but it is different in other places. It is a weapon for killing lives.

“Don’t worry, the production of these firearms is all on an extremely secretive isolated island, and will not be leaked without my permission.

If an accident really happens one day, then a few copies of the blueprints can be sent to some princes with good reputations. By then, everyone will have firearms, and they will be wary and will not attack each other.

A firearm is just a weapon; the one who really kills people is the person who controls the firearm.

To put it bluntly, even without firearms, they would still kill people! "

Jiang Ni didn't say anything more after hearing this. In Li Shouxi's eyes, it was just fallacy and sophistry, but in her eyes, it was the true truth.

The King of Beiliang is called the God of Killing, which is a living example.

Even without these powerful firearms, the number of innocent civilians who died at the hands of the Beiliang cavalry was no less than one million.

“Jiang’er, I know you’re worried.

But firearms are external objects after all. If you master the Art of Immortality and enter the ninth level of the Celestial Realm, you will find that even if these firearms are ten times stronger, they can't do anything to you.

If you can comprehend the Divine Sword Alluring Love sword technique, then the speed of killing people will be even more terrifying than these firearms!"

Are these firearms not powerful enough?

No, even an eighth-grade archer cannot lock onto the aura of a ninth-grade master at close range, let alone a bunch of dead objects.

Moreover, the speed of the large rocket is at most one hundred meters per second, which cannot even reach the speed of sound, let alone sniping a ninth-grade master. This thing is just a burden to them.

As for the Love in a Fallen City sword technique?

One is the sword energy that is like a rain of pear blossoms, the killing range of which is completely determined by the cultivation level of the sword holder; the other is a sword that transcends time and space, similar to the freezing of time and space that restrains the magic sword.

"Jiang Ni will definitely live up to the prince's expectations!"

Jiang Ni originally didn't like practicing martial arts, but her mentality was slowly changing.

Li Shouxi had to use these firearms because of his lack of strength.

She was highly expected to break through the ninth-grade celestial phenomena and had the potential to cultivate the Love of the City. Once she was successful, she could help Li Shouxi guard the Prince of Yan's Mansion and protect Liaodong.

This might be more meaningful than her doing needlework in the back garden!

"First, no enclosure!"

"Second, no reckless killing!"

"Second, you are not allowed to open a hall!"

The next day, the three rules of conduct between Li Shouxi and various major forces were recorded in the Fengtian Gazette.

This also made the people in Liaodong more grateful for Li Shouxi's kindness!

After all, if Li Shouxi had not made the three rules, with the tyranny of the six forces and the tyranny of the martial arts masters, they would have surely killed innocent people and robbed people in Liaodong.

On the other hand, there was news of recruiting soldiers in Liaodong.

With the influx of a large number of refugees into Liaodong, the reclamation of wasteland and the entry of various forces, after discussion in the Menxia Province, it was decided to recruit 200,000 soldiers in Liaodong as regular troops to guard Liaodong!

Chapter 108: Two Hundred Thousand Armored Warriors, Cihang Jingzhai

The right to recruit 200,000 soldiers!

These are 200,000 elite soldiers, not 200,000 regular garrisons.

For example, the 30,000 garrisons of Fengtian City, although the Prince of Yan's Mansion and the Prefectural Governor's Mansion had no shortage of money and food, their self-sufficiency rate in armor was only 30 percent.

It’s not that the Prince of Yan’s Mansion is short of armor, but that the garrison is different from the elite.

This 30 percent self-sufficiency rate is the critical point.

First, a set of armor weighs at least 20 kilograms, and not everyone can equip it; second, the garrison is not the real elite of the empire, but an army that protects the peace of one area, and cannot be too strong to overwhelm the central government.

Therefore, the imperial court limited the local self-sufficiency rate of armor to no more than 30 percent.

What's more, this is light armor, not the heavy armor and black armor of Prince Yan's Mansion.

The real armored battalion was different, it was the elite organization of the empire. Not only could it achieve 100% self-sufficiency in armor, but the training and selection were also extremely strict.

A set of armor usually weighs 30 kilograms, and the heavy armored battalion wears full body armor weighing more than 70 kilograms, and their weapons are mainly made of fine steel.

Most people would have difficulty walking, let alone fighting in battle, if they put it on.

However, the self-sufficiency and training of 200,000 soldiers is not something that ordinary forces can achieve.

Even if the Tang Dynasty took out a year's worth of taxes and deployed its full military strength for a year, it might not be able to equip 200,000 elite soldiers with armor.

After all, creating a full body armor is ten times more complicated than a Mo Dao.

Therefore, when the news of recruiting 200,000 soldiers came out, the whole Liaodong was in an uproar. Even the major forces did not expect that the court would allow Li Shouxi to recruit 200,000 soldiers in Liaodong.

These are two hundred thousand soldiers?

Then, everyone realized that this was something Li Shouxi had planned long ago.

First there was the powerful and terrifying firepower deterrence, and then there was the explosion of 200,000 soldiers. If all forces wanted to pretend to obey, they had to consider their own strength.

These are 200,000 soldiers, not 200,000 insurgents.

Even if they assembled a million peasant uprising troops, they would be nothing but a collapse of clay in front of 200,000 newly-built soldiers.

The two are simply not on the same level of power.

One side has millet and rifles, the other side has planes and tanks, the equipment is completely crushing.

In addition, Li Shouxi divided these 200,000 soldiers into three groups:

The first part is 150,000 ordinary soldiers—the Black Dragon Battalion!

They selected from the men originally registered in Liaodong, and recruited 300,000 people first. After three months of selection and training, 150,000 were chosen to enter the Black Dragon Camp.

The second part is the 50,000 cavalrymen composed of ethnic minorities - the Snow Wolf Camp!

The four major tribes of Jurchen, Buyeo, Dongxia and Bohai each sent out 10,000 warriors, plus 10,000 from other small tribes. These tribes are all skilled in riding and shooting, and are very suitable for forming an iron cavalry battalion.

The third part is Ten Thousand Iron Pagodas - Yanyun Heavy Armor!
