I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen's angry shout startled everyone. Xue Rengui turned around and revealed that the person talking to him was none other than General Li Zhiming of Yulinwei.

Li Zhiming tilted his head and looked outside, and saw Li Shen standing on the stone pier at the door, with his hands on his hips, looking arrogant.

Just as they were looking at this side with eager eyes, Xue Rengui and Li Zhiming walked over.

"I have met His Highness Prince Ji." The two of them saluted.

"Well, can anyone explain to me what's going on? Is it your Yulin Guard who came here to disarm my guard camp?

Or are you, Habayashi Wei, trying to rob me?

Isn't this right? If I don't rob other people, I will just contribute to the stability of the Tang Dynasty. How dare you come to rob me? "

Li Shen became more and more excited as he talked. With his character, if he didn't pick up money while walking on the street, he would be considered a loser. How could he tolerate others taking his things.

"Prince Ji, this is your Majesty's order. I heard that the guard camp in Prince Ji's Mansion is changing equipment. Your Majesty has an order to send the old equipment you replaced to Beiya to equip the Yulin Guards."

Li Zhiming explained, but there was a little bit of disappointment in his tone. When did the Yulin Guards reduce themselves to picking up other people's leftovers?

In the past, their equipment was the best in the entire army, and their treatment was also the best in the entire army.

Moreover, his force value is also the highest in the entire army, and he is full of arrogance wherever he goes.

However, since Li Shen's guard camp was established, they have been compared with others. Their equipment is inferior to others, their discipline is inferior to others, and their force is even inferior to others.

Fortunately, there are only 3000 people in the guard camp of Prince Ji's Mansion, otherwise they might all have to be laid off and find another job.

For this reason, they had to come to the military camp in Dongshan for training. They were trained like grandchildren and as tired as dogs.

This time His Majesty heard that the Guard Battalion was changing its equipment and asked them to pick up the remaining old equipment. This made everyone in the Yulin Guard feel a little uncomfortable.

"What? Why don't I know about such a big thing? Are you pretending to pass on the imperial edict?

These equipments of mine are all made of fine steel, which has been continuously smelted for 49 to 81 days and hammered for [-] to [-] days.

It's worth more than ten thousand gold. Just take it away if you say so? "

After hearing Li Zhiming's explanation, Li Shen immediately quit and thought to himself, maybe his old man was a little too stingy?

Even the equipment of the Praetorian Guards must be picked up from the old equipment he replaced.

Can't you build it yourself? Why does the old man have so much gold in his pocket?

Li Zhiming was a little embarrassed after hearing this, but he couldn't disobey the sacred order and continued:

"King Hui Ji, I dare not pretend to pass on the imperial decree. It is indeed His Majesty's decree. If you don't believe me, please read it." Then he handed the imperial decree to Li Shen for inspection.

After Li Shen took it, he took a look and saw that it was indeed his father's handwriting. It was white and sharp. And his father's private seal.

Just listen to Li Zhiming continue:

"Your Majesty, I think it may be that His Majesty's order came to the palace. The prince was not at the palace, so he didn't know. We will find out after the prince returns to the palace."

Li Shen handed the imperial edict to the stone behind him and put it away. This was evidence. Then he looked down at Li Zhiming for a long time before saying a word.

"You Yulin Guards are so poor now? Can you still provide military pay?"

"..." Li Zhiming was choked by Li Shen's words and didn't know how to answer. This matter was really embarrassing. His face turned red and he wanted to say something to regain some prestige, but he really couldn't refute.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta" Just at this moment, several fast horses ran over from a distance.

Li Shen's guards instinctively surrounded Li Shen to be on guard. Li Shen stood on a high place and looked further away, and saw four or five horses approaching from far away.

The leader, Li Shen, looked familiar and looked like someone from the palace. When he got closer, Li Shen saw clearly that the person coming was none other than Li Shimin's personal eunuch, Wang De, and Supervisor Wang.

"It's okay, Manager Wang." Li Shen said to Tieniu.

The guards then dispersed,

Wang De dismounted not far from Li Shen and ran over panting.

"Oh, my little prince, it's not easy to find you, but this old slave is exhausted."

"Old Wang, why are you so anxious to find me? Did something happen in the palace?" Li Shen asked quickly.

"That's not true. His Majesty just asked the old slave to say hello to His Highness. Didn't the guard camp of Prince Ji's Mansion change its clothes recently? His Majesty asked the prince to give the old equipment to the Yulin Guards for use." Wang De said funnyly,

These two men have been plotting against each other for ten years, and Wang De always gets a big win.

"Why, it's not like he doesn't have money. I spent all this money, and I'm going to go back and remake it? This is my hard-earned money." Li Shen curled his lips. He wouldn't give it for free.

"Oh, my lord, please don't be angry. Think about it, you always surrendered. Your Majesty didn't give you an order this time. Just think of it as a gift from Yuan Zheng to His Majesty." Wang De continued to persuade with a smile.

"No, I need at least 20 guan for these 30 sets of equipment. These cost me [-] guan." Li Shen shook his head.

What kind of gift? Li Shen never brought any gifts to Li Shimin during the holidays.

Even though Li Shen always brought more than a dozen carts of things into the palace, they were all for Concubine Wei and Empress Changsun, and sometimes he even brought some to the concubines.

The only thing that didn't exist was Li Shimin. This was also the pain in Li Shimin's heart. He was too embarrassed to care about it, showing that he was a petty emperor.

When Wang De heard that Li Shen asked for 20 yuan, he felt confused. Why does it happen every time? This King Ji only cares about eating and not fighting.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty said, three thousand sets of equipment will protect you from the crime of overstepping your bounds." Wang De finally used Li Shimin's trump card.

"What? What did you say? What have I overstepped? Please explain it clearly to me." Li Shen immediately turned his face.

I have behaved myself since I came back.

"My lord, don't forget the weapons being developed in your research institute." Wang De reminded.

"I have already told Aye and reported to the Ministry of Industry." Li Shen said confidently.

"My lord, you only reported the crossbow and the sword, but not the others.

The compound bows currently used by the palace guards are several times more lethal than ordinary crossbows. There is also the three-bow crossbow that the palace used to go to Goguryeo this time. It is a heavy ordnance.

Your three-bow powerful crossbow can actually shoot thick crossbow arrows into the city wall at a distance of six to seven hundred paces.

My lord, this is a powerful weapon. I heard it can reach up to a thousand steps.

You actually created such a deadly weapon and didn't report it to His Majesty. Your Majesty said he would take care of you when he had time. "

Wang De's words left Li Shen speechless. Indeed, Li Shen's research institute studies everything, especially ordnance.

Li Shen was not surprised at all that Li Shimin knew about this, and Li Shen had no intention of hiding it. If Li Shimin had remained silent, it would have frightened Li Shen.

(Class: stand up,

Thousand steps are calculated according to the distance in the Song Dynasty. One step is equal to 1.5 meters, and one thousand steps is equivalent to 500 meters.

There must be some cheaters who are suspicious, so let’s take a stab at it.

According to the "Wu Jing Zong Yao" records, the three-bow bed crossbow began in the Song Dynasty and was called the Eight Ox Crossbow. When it was first built, its range could reach 600 meters. After continuous improvement in the later period, its range could reach a thousand steps. That is 1500 meters.

"History of the Song Dynasty." It is recorded in "The Biography of Wei Pi" that the crossbow shot of Jiu Bedzi stopped at [-] steps. Let Pi increase the number of steps to a thousand steps. Pi is a person.

The most famous incident after the improvement was the shooting of Xiao Taolin, a general of the Liao army, killing him with one arrow from nearly 700 meters. Finally, Song and Liao signed the famous Chanyuan Alliance.

During the Yuan Dynasty's Western Expedition, a large number of these powerful crossbows made by the Han were used.

According to the Persian "History of the Conquerors of the World", an ox crossbow made by Khitan craftsmen had a range of 2500 steps. The Arabs' 2500 steps are at least 1000 meters long.

So the barrage retreats.
