Chapter 1282 No oil can be extracted without squeezing it out
Hearing what the eunuch in black said, Li Hong stood under the eaves and thought for a moment, then turned and returned to the bedroom.
Naha, who had just closed her eyes, was awakened. She looked at Li Hong who was standing in front of the bed, lifted the quilt and said, "Come in quickly."
Li Hong helped Naha tuck the quilt back and said softly: "Sleep well, I won't sleep tonight."
When Naha saw Li Hong starting to put on his armor, she sat up and said, "Is something big happening?"
Li Hong tightened the armor silk ribbon with all his strength, and hung the horizontal sword on his belt. After it was neatly draped, he said to Naha: "My son-in-law patrols the city, and my son guards the palace. I think my father will be less uneasy."
.”
Naha, who had already put on her clothes, said: "Let's go together."
Li Hong thought for a moment and said, "If you're not sleepy, then let's go together."
Naturally, Naha also had armor. It was a female armor specially made for her by Yunchu. However, she had not worn it for many years, and her body was much plumper, which caused the armor laces to not buckle tightly. Li Hong complained: "You
He’s getting fatter and fatter.”
Naha said angrily: "Yesterday you said I was plumper and more beautiful, but today you are calling me fat?"
Li Hong finally helped Naha put on her armor. He tapped the round armor with his knuckles and said, "It is naturally better to be fatter on the bed. It is more advantageous to be lighter on the battlefield."
The couple talked noisily and carried the horse to the door of the emperor's palace. Seeing Ruichun's defensive face, Li Hong said: "Don't worry, we are just the husband and wife. I heard that my father was disturbed by thunder.
I came here specifically to protect you."
After that, no matter how Ruichun reacted, he and Naha stood at the door of the dormitory and stood guard seriously.
The eunuch and Chun immediately reported the news that the prince and his wife had come to stay in the guard to the emperor who could not sleep.
Li Zhi looked up at the door, said nothing, and lay down again to sleep.
When the day was about to break, the downpour turned into soft raindrops. The person Yunchu was waiting for still didn't come, but Mother Chun, who was covered in mud, came.
Seeing that Yun Chu had not dismounted, Aunt Chun sat on the horse that was also covered in mud and said, "The queen asked me to ask you, what does the general want?"
Yun Chu glanced at Aunt Chun, waved her hands and said, "Get off the horse and talk."
Aunt Chun said stubbornly: "Don't dismount easily when we are not yet divided between the enemy and ourselves."
Yun Chu looked at Aunt Chun's increasingly rounded face and said, "You mean, if my answer doesn't suit the Queen's liking, you're going to start a war with me?"
Aunt Chun said expressionlessly: "Young Lord, think twice."
Yun Chu looked at the cavalrymen who accompanied Mother Chun, narrowed his eyes and said, "Is it just these cloves of rotten garlic you have?"
Aunt Chun pulled out the horizontal knife with a clang, pointed at Yunchu and said: "Today is the day to be loyal to the Queen."
Aunt Chun shouted twice in succession, but the knights behind her remained motionless. Aunt Chun gritted her teeth and urged her horse to rush toward Yunchu.
Then, Mother Chun was captured alive by Yun Chu, who even carried her belt to a dark tent.
Aunt Chun, who was thrown to the chair by Yun Chu, saw a lot of food on the wooden table in front of her. She immediately grabbed a pancake and wolfed it down. Yun Chu brought her a bowl of cold rice porridge and said: "Slow down.
Eat, the pancake is too hard and it irritates your throat."
Aunt Chun, who was working hard to eat with her head down, raised her head and said with tears in her eyes: "Can't you worry less? If you keep going on like this, you will be fine, and those of us who are slaves will be exhausted."
"Isn't it reasonable for me, an important official of the imperial court, to go to see the emperor?"
"Why don't other important ministers go at this time, but you are the only one doing so much?"
Yun Chu rubbed the mustache on his lips and said: "Others only owe you a share of glory and wealth. If you don't pay back the debt, others will just laugh at him and call him a rogue."
I'm different, I still owe His Majesty a debt of friendship. If I don't repay this debt, wouldn't it be a shame for the world?"
When Aunt Chun heard what Yun Chu said, she jumped three feet high, pointed at Yun Chu and said, "You owe His Majesty the friendship you owe him, but where is my friendship?"
Yun Chu smiled and pushed away Grandma Chun's fingers and said, "Next time, next time for sure."
Aunt Chun slowly sat back on the stool, picked up the pancake and continued to eat it. She burst into tears as she gnawed, sobbing and saying, "You just keep lying to me."
Hearing what Aunt Chun said, Yun Chu no longer wanted to find out about the Queen from her, and said seriously: "Go back and tell the Queen that I just want to visit the Emperor at this time, so as to ruin the friendship between our monarch and his subjects."
Aunt Chun sneered and said: "The Queen also asked me to tell you that there are more than 130 elite soldiers and generals from the sixty-seven military prefectures in Hebei Town, Shandong Town, and Hejian. Can you give me a round of advice?"
Destroy it?"
Yun Chu smiled lightly and said: "Hebei, Shandong, and Hejian have no less than one hundred military states. Why are there only sixty-seven military states? Did the queen say there are too few?"
Aunt Chun said: "Some people don't want to come."
Yun Chu said: "Oh, I don't want to come. Do you think there is a possibility that those people are His Majesty or the Prince's people? If the Queen transfers her people from those places, does it mean that the Queen has lost
Control over those places?”
Aunt Chun shook her head and said, "There are still many local nobles who have taken refuge with the Queen."
Yun Chu nodded to show that he understood. When he saw that Aunt Chun had finished eating, he picked her up again and threw her into a carriage. He said to Aunt Chun's entourage: "Take her back, slow down."
Aunt Chun poked her head out of the carriage, looked at Yun Chu and said, "Don't die."
Yunchu agreed with a smile, slapped the horse on the butt and let the carriage leave.
Seeing that it was daybreak, Yun Chu said to Yin Erhu: "Send all the people in your hands to clear the way. If you encounter anyone who blocks your way, you will be killed without mercy!"
Yin Erhu turned around and left, followed by many men carrying long black boxes.
Yunchu himself returned to an empty small tent carrying a black box.
After opening the box, a familiar rifle appeared in front of him.
His fingers slowly slid across the wooden butt of the gun, and finally landed on the front sight at the end of the barrel.
The stock of the gun is made of walnut wood, and the barrel has been bitten by strong acid and is slightly rough. However, after being painted with black paint, the entire barrel is dark and full of industrial-style beauty.
Compared with this rifle, which is only one meter long, a box of thirty yellow bullets neatly arranged in a box is the highest achievement that Datang's current technology can achieve.
Black gunpowder began to appear in the fourth year of Yonghui. It has only been twenty years since then. Under Yunchu's tireless pursuit, black gunpowder has evolved into smokeless gunpowder.
The maximum annual research funding invested by the Second Workshop is 200,000 guan per year. Over the past 20 years, the Second Workshop has burned through Yunchu's millions of guan.
??????????.??????
Scientific research is something that as long as you know the right direction, have sufficient funding, and have highly skilled researchers, it is only a matter of time before results appear.
Over the years, God knows how many wrong directions Yun Chu has shot down on the research path, so that the real rifles Yun Chu dreams of can be released in small batches.
Yunchu picked up the rifle and stuffed bullets into it from the holes on the side of the rifle, one, two, three... until eight bullets were stuffed into the rifle, Yunchu pulled the handle under the trigger, and there was a click.
The bullet is loaded and ready to fire.
This is Datang's most accurate, safest and most convenient lever-action rifle at present. Although it can only fire one bullet at a time, as long as you are skilled in using it, eight bullets are enough for a short confrontation.
What's more, Yun Chu's marksmanship is very good. Within a hundred steps, he can always hit the mark.
He picked up the rifle, aimed randomly around, then buckled the safety lock, put the rifle in a cloth bag with a strap, and left the small tent.
It was at the moment when he got on the horse that Yun Chu realized that he was the best general in the world. Even now, with Xue Rengui's ability, it was difficult for him to go through a round under his own hands.
Just when Yun Chu led the people of Chang'an and continued to march towards Jiucheng Palace, the person he had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived.
It was obvious that Jin Yuru had also been riding a horse all night. Compared with Aunt Chun, Jin Yuru looked even more embarrassed. When she saw Yun Chu, she immediately discarded her muddy cloak and grabbed the reins of Yun Chu's war horse.
: "Your Majesty, wait a moment."
Yun Chu sat on the horse and looked down at Jin Yuru and said: "I just gave the order that anyone who stops me will die."
Jin Yuru took off the baggage on his back and held it to Yun Chu with both hands: "Junhou, what if this slave uses this thing to ask you not to approach Jiucheng Palace?"
Yun Chu hesitated for a moment, then turned around and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he took the bundle and opened it and took a look. Inside was the potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and two browned leaves that he had been thinking about for a long time. He put it to his nose and smelled it.
After a while, Yunchu immediately crushed up a dry leaf, found a piece of paper, tore out a strip of paper, folded the note and poured the crumbs in, and skillfully rolled the note into a stick.
shape thing.
He raised his hand and pinched off the paper on the butt of the stick, stuffed it into his mouth quickly, couldn't wait to take out the fire stick, lit one end of the stick, took a deep breath, and then, a thick smoke came from his mouth and nose.
Squirt out.
Although his body seemed unable to accept the smoke, his long-aging soul enjoyed it very much.
Amid a violent cough, Yun Chu called Yu Xiurong, threw the baggage brought by Jin Yuru to Yu Xiurong and said, "Take it, this is our family's heirloom."
Yu Xiurong had never heard her husband say that anything could be called a family heirloom. Since he said that the ugly things in the bag were called family heirlooms, she immediately hugged her tightly in her arms. After her husband said that they were family heirlooms,
From that moment on, Yu Xiurong had no intention of giving this thing to anyone, not even the emperor!
Jin Yuru looked expectantly at Yun Chu, who was sitting on the horse and puffing away smoke, and said, "Is the Lord still satisfied?"
Yunchu spat out spit with smoke residue and said, "Did the Silla people actually reach the land that belongs to the Sun God?"
Jin Yuru said: "There are no more Silla people in the world, only Tang people."
Yunchu took another puff of smoke and said, "Where is the person who brought these things back?"
Jin Yuru said with a gloomy expression: "He has been killed by the queen."
Yun Chu nodded and said, "Did the sea map stay?"
Jin Yuru whispered: "It's in the hands of the queen."
Yun Chu nodded again and said: "That's right, such a treasure cannot be humiliated in the hands of slaves."
Jin Yiru said: "Since the Lord is very satisfied with Her Majesty the Queen's gift, I think he can stop moving forward."
Yun Chu thought for a moment and said to Yu Xiurong: "This old woman has made great contributions to my Yun family. What do you think of her being included in the Yun family's back house?"
Yu Xiurong took a careful look at Jin Yuru in front of her and said with some dissatisfaction: "If you accept a concubine and have sex with me, if the Marquis accepts an old woman into the back house, you may be laughed at by others."
Yun Chu laughed loudly in the crowd and said, "I have always loved old women. No one in the world knows this, except her."
Yu Xiurong said helplessly: "As long as Mr. Lang likes it."
After saying that, he pulled out a curtain fence from behind and threw it into Jin Yuru's arms and said: "Jin family, today you are my concubine of the Yun family. Take the curtain fence with you quickly. Don't let others laugh at me, the concubine of the Yun family."
There are no rules in the house.”
Jin Yuru hugged Muli and said in surprise: "That's not the case."
Yu Xiurong said angrily: "How dare you, a humble maid, be so ignorant of promotion? If someone comes, tie her up and throw her into the carriage. Wash her and skin her so that you can study and play with her when you have free time."
Seeing Jin Yiru being tied up and thrown into the carriage by several strong women of the Yun family without any resistance, the Hwarang disciples who came with Jin Yiru stepped forward to stop her.
Yu Xiurong's eyebrows were cold, and he just looked at Fei Jiu. A group of strong men with swords came out, and in just a moment, they slaughtered all the twenty-odd Hwarang disciples brought by Jin Yuru.
Regarding Yunchu's behavior of robbing women, the wealthy people of Chang'an who were watching did not take it seriously. Even if more than twenty living Silla slaves were killed on the spot, they felt that this was not a big deal.
Silla maids, a group of Silla slaves, not to mention such an old Silla maid.
They were just surprised by the unique taste on the king's bed. As for killing people? Who will judge the king?
The large group of people continued to move forward. Yu Xiurong held the baggage and walked side by side with Yun Chu. Occasionally, he looked back at the quiet carriage that Jin Yuru was riding, and couldn't help but whisper: "Husband, just kill her too, watch.
An eyesore.”
Yun Chu snorted coldly and said, "You know what the heck, our family has made a lot of money this time. The agricultural improvements and demonstrations carried out by the prince for more than ten years may not be able to match our harvest this time."
Yu Xiurong said: "It seems that they are also available at Potato Prince, but the yield is not good and they are easy to get sick."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "That's because the seeds are not good. There are a few fist-sized potatoes in it that are really good."
Yu Xiurong nodded, agreeing with her husband's point of view, but she immediately said: "Do you really want to accept that old woman?"
Yun Chu sneered and said: "That means there is one more person to eat in the back house. Your husband and I were very protective when we were young and romantic. Now that we are middle-aged, wouldn't it be a big loss to continue to nibble on an old woman?"
