Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

But who can refuse such a request?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help taking the torch, while the few people beside him quickly loaded the gunpowder and shells.

Li Tai ignited the fuse slowly, and then there was a loud 'bang', and the shell flew out, but this time it was not the original pit, and fell into the water, causing a wave of spray.

Seeing this, the corners of his mouth opened involuntarily. Firing up fish is a must-have activity every year.

After a while, everyone felt that their hearing had almost recovered.

Li Shimin said to Li Tai with a smile on his face, "Tomorrow is the end of the month, so we should have a blast."

Li Tai suddenly realized that tomorrow is New Year's Eve!

"This cannon is very good, I want to call it Shenwei."

Li Shimin looked at the mortar in front of him with satisfaction, thinking that he would reward them later.

"Go, I'm going to see the ship!!"

"Yes!"

A group of people rode on horses and went up the river, where there is a viewing platform built with simple wood.

A boat with a length of three meters and a width of less than 1.2 meters appeared in front of everyone. It looked like a small fishing boat for ordinary fishermen.

Yang Siqi briefly introduced the small boat road in front of him.

"This black lacquer is commonly used tree varnish to prevent corrosion. The propeller at the stern was developed based on the feeling of bamboo dragonflies and boat oars, so it is called the propeller."

Bamboo dragonfly?propeller?

Li Tai's eyes widened, it seemed that the propeller helicopter was invented out of feeling.

"You just need to step on it to turn the propeller and move forward."

Yang Siqi walked onto the boat while talking, and started to demonstrate. He stepped on the pedals with both feet, and the gear drove the propeller to move forward slowly.

"It's incredible!!" Li Shimin's eyes widened in amazement.

Soon, if the power is replaced by a steam engine, wouldn't it be possible to move forward day and night?

As long as you bring enough coal and food, you can go anywhere! ?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin pulled off his beard fiercely. Doesn't this mean conquering Goryeo?conquer the world! ?

"Okay, that's great, science is really amazing!"

After admiring, there was a green light in his eyes, as if he had seen a wolf with flesh, and he beckoned Yang Siqi to go ashore.

Seeing this, Yang Siqi hurriedly turned the rudder of the boat, docked the boat slowly, got ashore and looked at Li Shimin with a somewhat apprehensive expression.

Li Shimin turned his head to look at Yang Siqi, with emotion on his face.

"I thought it was an amazing skill before, but when I saw it today, it seemed that I was short-sighted and misunderstood you. It is really a great achievement to have so many divine power cannons, plus this ship!

I will make you the Duke of the Iron Ship, and then I will send [-] soldiers to you, and you will build an invincible fleet for me. "

Yang Siqi was overjoyed when he heard it: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness, and I will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations."

He turned his head to look at Zhang Yajiu, and announced formally with a solemn expression.

"Zhang Yajiu!"

"The grass people are here."

"You made the most powerful cannons for me. I want to bestow you with the title of Duke of Shenwei. From now on, I will study hard, keep making progress, develop more powerful cannons, and strive to produce [-] cannons as soon as possible."

"I would like to thank Your Majesty Long En." Zhang Yajiu saluted excitedly after listening.

"En." Li Shimin nodded very satisfied, and moved his eyes to Li Chunfeng: "Li Chunfeng."

"The minister is here." Li Chunfeng looked at Li Shimin excitedly.

"You have to meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, reform your mistakes, and learn science to develop gunpowder. Your contribution is indispensable. I also named you the Duke of Huomian. I hope you will develop better gunpowder for me in the future."

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Li Chunfeng showed a sincere smile on his face, and saluted deeply.

"···"

"The matter is of great importance. I will not stay here for the New Year's Eve. You should also rest more..."

It was another reward, and another festive condolence. The few people were so moved that they said excitedly: "I will bow to the essence and die."

Chapter 144 The situation has changed drastically

On New Year's Eve, long strips of flags were erected in the courtyards of every household, whistling with the wind, and a big fire was lit, and the sound of bamboo burning in the fire crackled.

The drink for the New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening is Tusu wine, and the fruit plate is a five-spicy plate made of garlic, garlic, leeks, cloud moss, and coriander. The main meal is similar to the present, with various dumplings and the like.

And the annual 'Spring Festival Gala' is being held in the palace.

The opening ceremony was the "Nuo", a superstitious ceremony in which boys put on masks with teeth and claws, red and black clothes, and then beat drums and dance to "drive away the plague".

After the opening ceremony, Taichang Temple will lead a huge royal band and acrobatic troupe to perform, sumo wrestling, acrobatics, magic, animal taming, lion dance and other rich and wonderful programs.

The officials sealed the holiday and accompanied the emperor to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

"My dear friends, you have worked hard."

"Your Majesty is the hard worker..."

"···"

The hall is harmonious and harmonious, and all civil and military officials enjoy the rare New Year's Eve celebration.

But this atmosphere didn't last long, the eunuch hurriedly led a messenger to Li Shimin, and the eunuch whispered something in his ear.

After hearing this, Li Shimin put down his wine glass, frowned, looked at the messenger solemnly and said, "Give me the letter."

The messenger took out the bloody envelope from his chest and handed it over.

Li Shimin opened the letter, his expression was solemn, and after reading them one by one, his expression changed from solemn to angry.

At this moment, everyone sensed something was wrong, carefully put down their cups, and looked at each other without knowing what happened.

But at this moment, Li Shimin's hand holding the letter was trembling, and with a gloomy face, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, he slapped it suddenly, and said angrily: "It's really unreasonable!"

All the cultural relics officials booed, the singer's music stopped, and the whole hall suddenly fell silent.

All the officials, civil and military, were terrified, and carefully suppressed their smiles and put down their wine glasses.

"Your Majesty?" The Minister of Taichang Temple came over sweating profusely, and hurriedly saluted Li Shimin: "It's singing and dancing..."

"Let them all go down, it's none of your business!!" Li Shimin waved his hand.

The Minister of Taichang Temple hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, luckily it was not his fault, he hurriedly saluted, stepped back and beckoned the singer, musician and others to evacuate.

Only the cultural relics and hundreds of officials were left looking at each other, wondering what happened, which made Li Shimin furious.

After all relevant people have evacuated.

Li Shimin looked around, with anger in his eyes, he held up the letter and said, "This is an urgent military situation from Liaodong. The situation in Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Wa has changed drastically."

When everyone heard it, they didn't care about anything else, so they scolded first.

"Damn Goguryeo, the New Year is not worry-free."

"Square barbarians, damn it, it's really a disappointment."

"The Wa country is far away from the other three countries, how could it be involved in the past?"

While everyone was annoyed, they were curious about the content of the military situation. After all, the Wa Kingdom and the other three countries are far apart, so how could they be mixed together.

But Li Shimin didn't do it all, but handed the letter in his hand to the eunuch at the side, and ordered: "Read it."

"Yes." The eunuch carefully read the contents of the letter.

[In November, King Wu of Baekje passed away, and the prince Fuyu Yici came to the throne.

In addition, he blatantly violated the regulations of the vassal state and attempted to plot the land of Silla, and even conquered Silla by himself, and even captured the five cities of Silla in one month!

Such, ambitious wolf, arrogant person, I ask your Majesty to make a decision. 】

The cultural relic officials were furious after hearing this, and began to abuse and accuse them one after another.

"The barbarians of Baekje dare to disrespect the country and provoke the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, they should be punished!!"

"Fuyu Yici? His mother must be a wolf dog, otherwise how could he give birth to such an ambitious and cowardly person."

"When sending troops to Baekje, the dignity of the Tang Dynasty cannot be trampled on."

"Chen Yuchi is willing to send [-] troops to take down the dog's head of Yici"

···

Civil and military officials slapped the table one after another, and each enthusiastically asked for a fight.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty belonged to the Kingdom of Heaven, while Baekje and Silla belonged to the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty.

The two countries are equivalent to the younger brothers of the Tang Dynasty, and as the younger brothers, not only must they worship the eldest brother every year, but there are regulations between the younger brothers that do not allow random wars.

But now Baekje not only did not pay attention to this elder brother, but also fought with another younger brother, which was simply trampling on the majesty erected by Datang.

If you don't teach them a lesson, how will the other 200-plus vassal states be managed?How can you be obedient?

"Silence!!" With a wave of Li Shimin's hand, everyone fell silent, and his eyes signaled the eunuch to continue.

【Gaoguryeo——(Western Master) Yuangai Suwen, deceived the public by saying that he gushed out of the spring, so he changed his name to Quangaijin, bewitched the people, and was cruel by nature.

In the name of a military parade, more than a hundred ministers were massacred, the treasury was burned, the lord of the country, King Gao Wu, was killed, and a new king, the Treasure King, was established! !

He is even more ambitious, supporting the Treasure King on the surface, but secretly serving as Mo Lizhi (Regent) to control Goguryeo.

Its arrogance is even more bold, and the alliance with Baekje, Waguk, Buyeo and other countries jointly plots the land of Silla. 】

After the eunuch finished reading, he respectfully returned the letter to Li Shimin, and everyone started talking about it.

"Behind Baekje Yija is Goguryeo. No wonder it is so rampant. If you don't tell me, I will take it seriously."

"Quangaijin? Ziquan water gushes out, and this villain can control Goguryeo. I'm really laughing to death!!"

"That Goguryeo thought he could look up to him, but was murdered by a villain like Quan Gaijin, so it seems that Goguryeo is nothing more than that!"

"Just one military parade, Koguryo was controlled by a fire. It's really dumbfounding."

"Although the King of Goguryeo died in a proper place, it is not easy to save money now that the spring is covered with gold."

"Indeed, the civil war has not yet started, and the killing of the lord may subside soon, and Goguryeo's strength will not diminish!"

When everyone heard the news, they were both amused and angry.

The ridiculous thing is that Goguryeo, a powerful country that has fought against the Sui Dynasty many times, was murdered by its own ministers.

And the minister who murdered just made up a random story, changed his name and set fire to it, and he succeeded! !

What is exasperating is that he successfully controlled Goguryeo, but he has no awe of Datang.

Not only that, but also united with Baekje, Waguo and others to attack Silla together.

Everyone began to analyze the current situation.

"Goguryeo's strength has not diminished, and with the addition of the attack on Silla, I am afraid that its strength will increase a lot."

"Goguryeo, Baekje, Waguk, Buyeo, and the four countries attack Silla. I am afraid that Silla will not survive this year and will undoubtedly perish."

"This year, hmph, you think too highly of Silla. Once winter is over, spring plowing is over, and troops are sent in summer, I'm afraid there will be no Silla in autumn."

"Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, the Three Kingdoms are divided into three islands, Silla is the weakest and loyal to the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo is the strongest, followed by Baekje.

When Goguryeo is destroyed, Silla will attack Baekje, and when he conquers the two countries, he will attack the east coast and north of Datang. "

When everyone came here, their expressions suddenly became serious.

Chapter 145 Scourge

Silla is bordered by Goguryeo in the north, Baekje in the west, the sea in the south and east, and the country of Wa.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the country is besieged on all sides. If there is no accident, the country will be directly destroyed this autumn, and it may even be earlier.

After the fall of Silla, Baekje and Goguryeo will be victorious, and the winner will definitely pacify the other two countries, and the most likely one is Goguryeo.

Once Goguryeo is unified, the trouble will be big.

Then its strength will be unmatched. If it goes all the way to the Bohai Sea or attacks from the north, it can directly enter Datang, which will be a huge threat.
