Chapter 1080 No More Guns and Ammunition for the Bride

"Bring the system to the Tang Dynasty ()"

Li Chengqi laughed: "Ha ha ha! Brother Yi, you want benefits whenever you get the chance."

"Let's take advantage of it. Let's withdraw the army to guard the Yellow River. Sulu and the White Arabs will not come to fight again unless they come up with a way to deal with explosive packs and flying monkeys."

Li Yi is not ashamed of blackmailing the enemy. He is a pragmatist.

The Khitan leader Li Shihuo sent someone to come first to ask about the marriage, but did not give them a reply for the time being.

"No, tell him that my Li family's manor will strengthen trade with him. As long as the trade is stable, I will not fight him."

Li Yi remembered that with this matter, Li Shihuo was obviously worried that the Tang Dynasty would fight him, so he adopted the method of marriage.

In history, Li Shihuo will die next year, and then his younger brother will succeed him.

I don't know if he can die this time, anyway, it is immoral to toss other people's children to marry.

Li Yi is willing to exchange trade to increase the volume of trade. This autumn, Khitan, Xi, Bohai and other places should collect a lot of mushrooms, hazelnuts and pine nuts.

Add platycodon, very hard walnuts, tussah cocoons, ginseng, various leathers, and deer antlers.

Exchange them, kerosene, iron pots, ceramics, kitchen knives, paraffin, asbestos tiles, and linoleum.

Both sides get what they need, and they will naturally feel at ease when the caravans come and go more.

"I'm afraid they won't be happy." Li Chengqi understands the thoughts of the leaders of other tribes.

It is an honor to marry a Tang princess, even if the one they marry is not a real princess.

"In the future, the Tang Dynasty will not marry, let alone pay tribute." Li Yi doesn't care whether others are happy or not, and the bigger the fist, the more reasonable it is.

"Okay!" Li Chengqi threw Li Shihuo aside, not marrying the princess to you, saving dowry.

"There are 500 new guns, let someone send the bullets first, remember to come back, there are too many Yulin flying cavalry in front."

Li Yi was a little anxious and wanted to quickly solve the problem in the Yellow River Basin.

Yulin flying cavalry can't always stay in Tubo, go back to Chang'an to take charge, and send Yulin flying cavalry to the northeast when needed.

Three Protectorates are being built in the Northeast, all in key locations, not Jiedushi.

The rank of the Protectorate is higher than Jiedushi, which proves that the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to the Northeast.

"Send Hao Lingquan to deliver. He has been studying since he became a general. Go to the front and follow Guo Zhiyun."

Li Yi thought of someone, Hao Lingquan.

Hao Lingquan understands all operations in the army, but has never commanded a big battle.

He has learned a lot of theoretical knowledge, and it is just right to go to the front to deepen his understanding through the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

He was promoted because he was afraid that he would be angry again, and to show other generals that the court would not treat meritorious officials lightly.

Since he was promoted, he must be used and must be able to win battles, otherwise it proves that the court gave the wrong official and that Li Yi reached out randomly.

Li Yi didn't want to take the blame, so he quickly taught him all kinds of things.

Not to mention that he could achieve the same results as Zhang Xiaosong on the battlefield, at least he could be in a fair relationship with others.

Tell him not to run to the mountains when he is camping on the road.

Li Chengqi didn't care who was sent to deliver the weapons. He wondered, "Why 500?"

"The rest will continue to be used for the training of the Yulin Flying Cavalry. When I try to make a better alloy steel, the barrel can be lighter and stronger."

Li Yi left the other 1,000 guns for people to train. The Yulin Flying Cavalry must be proficient first.

The barrel is too difficult to make. It can be cast quickly, but it can't be used, unless it is a cannon, which does not require very high precision.

Stir it during casting to reduce sand holes as much as possible.

He is currently studying adding other things to the molten steel to make a broach. Broaching is also difficult to make a gun barrel, but it is faster than hammering.

Otherwise, Li's manor would not have only produced 1,500 guns so far. Many gun barrels were scrapped during the processing.

He doesn't pay taxes when selling bicycles because the cost of making guns is too high, and he has no time to help Bi Gou make money.

"Are there enough bullets?" Li Chengqi wanted to help make bullets.

"Brother, you ask the Labor Union to help make the gun barrels, I will provide the steel, tell them the process, and they will process it."

Li Yi saw Li Chengqi's thoughts, and he thought that the technology of making gun barrels was not afraid of being leaked out, because others did not have a large amount of good steel and gunpowder.

The proportion of gunpowder varies, and the ignition, launch, and explosion are different.

"Okay, you provide the drawings and technical specifications, and I will bring the steel for them to help, and not a single piece of steel scraps will be missing."

Li Chengqi decided to lock people up to make them, pay more wages, and not allow them to take anything away.

"Once I make the percussion cap, it will be a good idea to cast some mines, or use ceramic tubes."

Li Yi is preparing new weapons, and there are problems with industrial production technology.

He can make them in the laboratory himself, and he doesn't care that the lethality of thermal weapons is too great and violates the harmony of nature.

The difference between killing people with guns and arrows is the size of the loss on your side.

Gun cannons are powerful and lethal, so wouldn't it be enough if the enemy surrenders?

Are atomic bombs powerful? Two bombs will make Japan surrender.

It is helping Japan, not harming Japan.

Without the two atomic bombs, the war would have killed all Japanese males over the age of fifteen, as long as Japan continued to recruit soldiers and refused to surrender.

The Russians would benefit from that, so North America dropped the atomic bombs when they saw that the situation was not good and wanted to gain the benefits of victory in the war.

After the two finished their meal, Li Yi found Hao Lingquan and arranged for him to take the Sixteen Guards to deliver guns and bullets to the front.

The Sixteen Guards sent 5,000 people in exchange for 7,000 Yulin Flying Cavalry.

By the way, we also brought explosive packs, compressed biscuits, and canned fruits. We rode two horses each and made simple supplies at the post station on the way.

Hao Lingquan patted his chest and guaranteed that the people were there and the guns were there.

The cavalry set off. Li Yi looked at the figure that gradually disappeared from his sight, shook his head, and moved a recliner outside to bask in the sun.

…

"There are too many wormwoods this year. I hope it won't ruin Li's manor."

The people who picked tea leaves and wormwoods were always working. The quality of tea leaves was getting worse and worse. The leaves were big and there were insects.

The wormwoods were growing, and new ones emerged from time to time, and the previous ones became old.

The people who picked wormwoods found that there were a lot of wormwoods that they thought were not good for making mosquito coils.

This wormwood was Artemisia annua, and it was right to have a lot of them.

The seeds collected by Li's manor were then sent to spread secretly.

Many Artemisia annua grew by the river, the roadside, and the foot of the mountain, which were used to make anti-malaria pills.

The artemisia pickers had no idea that Li Yi valued the artemisia that they thought was not good. They had no choice but to cut it off, tie it into bundles and carry it to Li's farm.

Envoys from other places gritted their teeth and bought it at high prices, especially from Tubo, where there was more malaria in summer.

There were also the southwest and northwest.

Where there were mosquitoes, there was malaria, and it had never been eradicated.

The Japanese delegation bought dozens of pills and asked the medical students to study them to see if they could find out what they were made of.

"Artemisia!" The medical students knew it as soon as they smelled it. No matter how much honey was in it, the taste of artemisia was strong.

"I heard from the Tibetans that it was not artemisia, but the smell of artemisia was used to cover the taste of the real thing, because they tried it, and the water soaked with artemisia was useless."

Takagi Junichiro denied it. When he went to question Bo E and Isimba about deceiving Murayama Juzhong, the other party did not admit it.

However, he told him many secrets, such as this medicine for treating malaria, which was not the same as the method of soaking a handful of artemisia in water written in the medical book.
