It is not difficult to make a three-eyed blunderbuss. What is difficult is the preparation of gunpowder.
So he asked the city's blacksmiths to build a thousand three-eyed blunderbuss in two days. Li Qinzai was not making things difficult for the governor of Shanzhou, but after careful calculation, he believed that the governor could definitely do it.
Of course, if the governor was dragging his feet and slacking off in his work, Li Qinzai would not mind killing the governor to offer sacrifices to Heaven. It was just when the army was resting and he needed to boost the morale of the army, so he arranged a ceremony for the governor to offer sacrifices to Heaven. It would be a full sense of ceremony and the officers and soldiers of the three armies would be very moved.
As for the preparation of gunpowder, Li Qinzai ordered Sun Congdong and Song Jintu to collect raw materials from inside and outside the city.
After several large and small battles, Sun Congdong's imperial army consumed a lot of gunpowder and it was time to replenish it. The amount of gunpowder required for 1,800 three-eyed muskets was much more difficult than making a three-eyed gun.
During the two days we stayed in Shanzhou to rest, everyone was actually busy.
Li Qinzai was busy preparing gunpowder, and the governor was busy making three-eyed muskets. In addition, more than a thousand people were selected from Song and Jintu's 5,000 soldiers to train the gun team in shooting and three-stage formation every day. Once the new three-eyed guns were made,
Get ready for the battlefield immediately.
The governor's office in Shanzhou has been occupied by Li Qinzai and has been temporarily requisitioned as a commander's tent.
During the war, soldiers are given priority, no discussion is allowed, and if you don't accept it, you have to hold it back.
In the front hall of the governor's office, Sun Congdong, Song Jintu and others sat sideways, respectfully listening to Li Qinzai's tactics.
The guerrilla attacks in Tuyuhun these days made Sun Congdong and Song Jintu admire Li Qinzai greatly.
Unexpectedly, this notorious playboy in Chang'an City could use tactics so skillfully. His guerrilla warfare methods really opened the eyes of the two generals.
Not only did he greatly reduce the strength of the Tibetan army, but he also knew how to assess the situation very well, attack decisively when he had superior strength, and retreat immediately when he was outnumbered. He also knew how to lure the enemy into dividing his forces, defeat them one by one, and drive the Tibetan army into a tailspin.
At the same time, the loss to itself is very small.
As expected of a general's son, no matter how dandy his reputation is, on the battlefield, his family genes seem to have been awakened.
In the past, Sun Congdong and Song Jintu thought that Li Qinzai's achievements in destroying the Japanese country were somewhat due to luck. Now it seems that this is a real skill and not mixed with water at all.
"It will take about ten days for General Su Dingfang's troops to arrive. Protector-General Pei Xingjian of the Anxi Protectorate has sent a scout to reply to the letter. He will lead 10,000 Anxi soldiers to the east today to cooperate with me and other east-west pincer attacks and push the Tibetan army from
Tuyuhun rushed from the north to the south."
"According to the strategy, once the Tibetans are driven to the south of Tuyuhun, we will join forces with the Anxi Army and Su Dingfang's army, and then drive straight in. If we can confront the Tibetans head-on, it will be easy to completely drive the Tibetans out of Tuyuhun."
Li Qinzai slowly told everyone his strategic intentions.
"We are now in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, to the east of Tuyuhun. Pei Xingjian's Anxi army bypassed the Kunlun Mountains and marched from the west. He and I have agreed that the target will be Qinghai Lake. The army will set off tomorrow, and we will still use
The main focus is on raiding and harassing guerrillas, avoiding when they are strong and attacking when they are weak."
"After joining forces with Pei Xingjian, the next goal is to clear out the Tibetan troops in the Dafeichuan area in central Tuyuhun. However, before the three armies join forces, we must try our best to protect ourselves and at the same time kill more Tibetan troops and reduce their strength."
Sun Congdong smiled and said: "With Uncle Li leading our brothers, all we have to do is risk our lives during the war. General Li admires Uncle Li's ability very much."
Liu Asi, who was standing by, also smiled and said: "I didn't know that Fifth Young Master had such abilities. These days have been an eye-opener for me. When we return with a great victory, I don't know how to be happy."
, we have a successor to the British government."
Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes and smiled: "When we return to Chang'an after our victory, I will invite you to visit the most expensive brothel. Each of you will be assigned ten girls, ten! I will squeeze out all your bile."
Sun Congdong was overjoyed: "I will wait for the day when all my energy is exhausted and I will die. How wonderful it is!"
Everyone laughed, Li Qinzai glanced at Song Jintu inadvertently, but saw that he said nothing and did not care about such an attractive reward of visiting a brothel.
Li Qinzai's laughter faltered. The leader was joking, but you didn't laugh. It's a bit of a social cancer...
"Ahem, Captain Song is taciturn and looks very stable." Li Qinzai laughed, then pointed at Sun Congdong and Liu Asi and said, "You guys should learn from Captain Song. Look at how serious they are, how can they be like you perverts?"
Damn it, if your eyes glow green when you talk about women, you are worthless!"
Sun Congdong glanced at Song Jintu and smiled faintly: "Captain Song was once from Zuowuwei, and his last general was from Rightwei. We were both in Chang'an City back then, so we didn't have the chance to get to know each other."
"But Captain Song does seem like a gentleman. It would be rude of us to talk about brothels and girls. Uncle Li, when we go back to Chang'an and visit the brothel, we should not call him Captain Song anymore. It will ruin his reputation."
Song Jintu finally couldn't help but said: "No, please call me."
Everyone:???
Sun Congdong was stunned for a while and said in surprise: "You actually spoke..."
Song Jintu glanced at him lightly and said: "I just don't like to talk, it's not that I can't talk. Besides, you can treat me as a mute, but you can't help but treat me as a man."
As he spoke, Song Jintu emphasized his tone: "I can visit a brothel!"
Li Qinzai was also in a daze for a while, smacked his lips, and sighed: "Another person with special skills comes here. Damn it, why don't I have a normal person under my command?"
…………
Chang'an City, Tai Chi Palace.
Li Yifu bowed and stood in front of Empress Wu with a joyful expression on his face. Empress Wu sat in the palace with the curtains drawn down, expressionless as she listened to Li Yifu's arrogance.
"Queen, Li Qinzai himself has handed over the clues to us. I heard that Li Qinzai acted arbitrarily in Tuyuhun. He not only intercepted and killed the Tibetan envoys, but more seriously, Li Qinzai mobilized soldiers and horses from six states under Zheng Rentai's command without the imperial decree, and ignored military discipline.
The national law ordered the soldiers to plunder the Tuyuhun tribe..."
Li Yifu said happily: "What Li Qinzai did in Tuyuhun left too many clues. If you just grab a lot of them, I would like to write a memorial immediately. Tomorrow, I will lead the imperial censor to attend the impeachment of Li Qinzai. This time, it will be difficult for Li Qinzai to stand up again."
"
"If the Queen is dissatisfied, I can make some comments to draw the flames to the British Lord. If the Queen wants to establish her power in the court, this is an excellent opportunity..."
Li Yifu kept talking, but Empress Wu's expression became increasingly cold.
After a long time, after closing the curtain, Empress Wu said in a cold tone: "Mr. Li, have I asked you to participate in the impeachment of Li Qinzai?"
Li Yifu paused and looked at the cold bead curtain in shock.
Empress Wu said calmly: "Do you know what Li Qinzai did in Tuyuhun for what and for whom?"
Li Yifu suddenly blushed, and he realized that today's flattery seemed to have come from the wrong place.
