Chapter 2900 These idiots don't understand the meaning of the flintlock gun
Early the next morning, facing the biting wind and snow, Li Ji led a group of young people to see off His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and his ministers.
They arrived at a distance of more than thirty miles from Dengzhou, and then, under His Majesty's command, they reined in the horse's head and watched His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty leave.
"Oh, it seems that there is really no chance..." Li Ji shook his head helplessly, and looked at Cheng Sanlang with a smile that looked very bitter.
The old man and the young man were in a very depressed mood at the moment. Li Ji and Cheng Sanlang naturally wanted to persuade His Majesty to give themselves more autonomy.
We cannot be limited to our identity as captain of the transport brigade, but the problem is that His Majesty knows it very well, and the humming and hahaing along the way are all perfunctory.
This makes people feel extremely painful, but there is nothing they can do about it.
"Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, our Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo has not yet begun, but our army along the Pyongyang Road has already turned into a transportation brigade."
His Royal Highness, Li Ke, still complained unwillingly, spitting out the snow foam on his lips.
Everyone was not in a good mood, especially those martial arts disciples who had bandaged up like a bunch of meatballs in order to earn more money. They were feeling very angry with themselves.
"Brother Chu Bi, what can you do? We brothers can't really ride on the sea all day long.
If you don't kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, you'll just be carrying food and supplies all day long, right?"
After hearing this, Cheng Chubi tilted his head and looked at Qin Huaidao, who had a face full of reluctance.
"Haha... Your father is not willing to agree to your biological son's request. Do you think I am willing to agree?"
"..." Qin Huaidao looked at Brother Chu Bi blankly, feeling that these words were harsh and unpleasant.
It took Li Ke a long time to control his emotions, and he stepped forward and said cheerfully. "Okay, okay, brothers, we are not in a hurry for this moment anyway."
"After all, it's winter now. If my father and the others want to raise troops to attack Goguryeo, they have to wait until next spring, after the ice and snow in the north thaw."
"We still have plenty of time. I believe that with Brother Chu Bi's brain, he will definitely come up with a way to have the best of both worlds,"
Li Ji also disagreed with the gibbering of these young people. Cheng Sanlang did have a brain, but was it useful?
But seeing Cheng Sanlang's rather confident look, Li Ji couldn't help but move closer to Cheng Sanlang.
"Why, looking at your kid's appearance, is it possible that you are really sure?"
"Haha, uncle, as the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and spring will come again. Although my father-in-law and a group of elders are not happy for us to make contributions."
"But the problem is man-made. What if God gives us another chance to make contributions?"
"Even if there is no chance, can we create opportunities ourselves?"
Seeing Cheng Sanlang chirping triumphantly in front of him, Li Ji burst into laughter.
"Okay, you seem to be very confident. I'll leave this matter to you later. If you don't get a chance, I'll ask you for it."
"...Uncle, can you be reasonable? What do you mean by taking advantage of your nephew when you don't get a chance? Your approach of putting pressure on the younger generation is very inhumane."
"Stop being so verbose, there is no such thing as joking in the army."
"Uncle, my nephew, I am chatting with you now as a guest of the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion. I am not a member of the military..."
"Oops? You kid, you've got hair on your gallbladder, right..."
As the saying goes, the adjective "disrespecting the elderly" is very suitable for Li Ji, a famous Tang Dynasty general who likes to argue with juniors, to speak for him.
Just as a group of people were bickering and laughing and walking towards Dengzhou Fangxing, Li Ke on the side thought of another serious thing.
"Brother Chu Bi, didn't you say before that you had a good treasure and wanted my father to appreciate it? But let me ask you a question, you actually kept it a secret from me."
"Now that my father is gone, you have to show me your little brother, right?"
After hearing this, all the disciples of martial arts, including Li Ji, all set their sights on Cheng Sanlang, the top gunpowder weapons expert of the Tang Dynasty who was secretly inventing and creating all day long.
Seeing people's eyes falling on him, Cheng Chubi raised his eyebrows subconsciously.
"Actually, samples have been produced before, but you didn't know about it."
"Since there is nothing to do now, I will take you to Heda Heda so that you can have a good experience."
Hearing this, Li Ji on the side couldn't help but subconsciously asked Cheng Sanlang.
"Is this treasure more powerful than that flying thunder cannon?"
"???" Cheng Chubi looked at Li Ji in confusion and shook his head subconsciously, but he always felt that Li Ji's words sounded familiar.
"Will it explode?" Li Ji once again asked another question.
Cheng Sanlang continued to shake his head with a numb expression. He remembered that this was what his father-in-law had asked before.
"Does the range have as much range as that of ship-borne artillery?"
Cheng Sanlang's face turned darker and darker, and he could only continue to shake his head indifferently.
Seeing Cheng Sanlang's appearance, Li Ji couldn't help but groaned in disgust and looked at the flying snow in the sky.
"Haha... forget it, the wind and snow are so heavy today, I will go back to Dengzhou first, you young people are so angry, just go and have fun by yourself."
"I said, uncle, can you trust your nephew a little more?"
"Although the power is small and the range is short, the problem is that it can be operated by one person. Isn't this kind of thing a good treasure?"
"Ha, that grenade can't be operated by just one person, and it will also explode."
Cheng Chubi was suddenly stupefied, and just as he was about to continue explaining angrily, Li Ji's big slap fell on Cheng Sanlang's shoulder.
"Okay, okay, dear nephew, please don't be upset. I'll accompany you to the Wanda Headquarters, right? Look at you, a little kid. You're not very old, but you have a bigger temper than your father."
"..."
#####
Cheng Chubi took the lead with a straight face, secretly hating these idiots for not understanding the meaning of the flintlock rifle.
Although artillery is awesome, and so are grenades, the era of gunpowder weapons truly entered the era with the emergence of individual gunpowder weapons such as flintlocks.
It can make all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty become sharpshooters, so that many barbarians who have not lighted up the technology tree can only lie on the ground and call grandpa piously.
It's a pity that if you are half a step ahead of the times, you are a saint, and if you are one step ahead, you are a madman. And I don't know how many steps ahead of the times, but I have to be one and a half steps ahead.
Therefore, it is understandable that he is not understood by others and is respected by others. Thinking of this, Cheng Chubi calmed down again.
Anyway, when these guys get there, they will naturally understand that none of the good treasures made by Mr. Cheng are useless.
