Chapter 55 Good things come one after another

Wu Liu finished the handover and rested for a night, and on the second day he took his men back to Chang'an. At the same time, Li Zhen also took away the adjustments to the future arrangements. Because the war was delayed, some of his arrangements would also be adjusted.

Wu Liu left, but the five cannons he left caused a sensation in the entire military camp. After seeing the power of cannons, everyone firmly believed that cannons would definitely occupy a place in future wars, and it was not impossible for them to become the protagonist of the battlefield. Therefore, everyone from the general to the Fire Head Army was full of enthusiasm for cannons.

This is why Li Zhen directly developed the breech gun instead of taking it step by step. Although starting from scratch, he can accumulate more experience in casting cannons and cultivate more mature craftsmen. But at the same time, the cannon at the beginning was too terrible. Not only was the range that was so short that it was terrible, even the shells could only fire the most basic solid shells - the power was not as powerful as the catapult. What's the use of such cannons? Who would like to be attracted to? No one else would like to be attracted to, how would you let others look forward to your future? If others don't like it, why should you support you?

But now it’s different. Li Zhen started construction directly with the breech gun, which is extremely powerful. Anyone who sees it knows that in the future war, the cannon will definitely occupy a place. When a weapon is favored from top to bottom, can the future of this weapon still not be seen?

Therefore, once the artillery battalion began to train, there were always people watching. Some of them might just be watching the fun, and some were studying in secret. Whether they were watching the fun or studying, they didn’t want the artillery training to stop. However, because of the limited time, Li Zhen brought 300 artillery shells last time. After only a few days of training, the artillery training had to be converted to theoretical study because of insufficient elixirs. This time it was different. Although there were only six cannons, the shells brought by Wu Liu were enough for the artillery to fight for the long run - the premise was that the lifespan of the cannon was enough.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, there are enough shells now. Let's go and continue to fire the cannons?" Li Zhen was sleeping soundly. Fang Yiai rushed in and shouted.

"Shut up, I'll tear your mouth if you talk again." Li Zhen opened his eyes unhappily and shouted. It was terrible to get up.

"Oh!" Fang Yiai immediately shut up.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, we..." Fang Yiai finally shut up. After Li Zhen was calm for a while, Xue Rengui broke in again.

"What are you doing? Do you still let people sleep?" Li Zhen was furious again and smashed the pillow at Xue Rengui.

"Oh." Xue Rengui dodged the pillow and continued to shout: "Your Highness, our killing technique has been initially created."

"Well, oh, ah? It's created!!!" In an instant, Li Zhen's voice was even louder than Xue Rengui's: "Why is it so fast?"

Xue Rengui also said excitedly: "Thank you for your blessing. After our overnight research, the compilation of killing techniques is much smoother than we imagined. Not only did we encounter any difficulties in the middle, but it was like a helper of God. Now it has been initially studied. All that is left is the sculpting of subtleties, which can be completed in less than a day."

"That's great." Li Zhen clenched and laughed: "It's God's helping me, Xue Li came forward to obey the order."

"yes."

"Xue Rengui, you have achieved success in writing books, worked hard and made great contributions, and you have made great contributions. I specially ordered you to be the Dianjun of the Yue King's Account, to lead two thousand personal guards, and to reward you with a hundred taels of gold, three thousand taels of silver, a hundred hectares of good fields, five hundred silk, ten treasure blades, and several treasures."

Hearing that Li Zhen promised such a heavy reward, Xue Rengui immediately refused: "The killing technique is the idea of ​​Your Highness. The twenty-year-old soldiers who directly compiled the killing technique are just the role of integration and summary. Such a heavy reward is too much, and the subordinates must not accept it."

"No, you can afford it." Li Zhen said decisively: "Although you are just a summary, if you were not for you, my idea would have only become a talk on paper, and the contributions of the twenty-year-old soldiers can only become graffiti for children. Although my reward is heavy, you deserve it. Besides, if I don't reward you seriously, what should I do if the rewards of the twenty-year-old soldiers?"

"This..." Xue Rengui hesitated and said, "You can take the rewards, but the position of Dianjun is too important. You have not made any contributions to the etiquette. It may be difficult to convince the public when you take over the rashly. You also ask Your Highness to take back his life."

Fang Yiai also said beside him: "Your Highness, what Rengui said makes sense, and the Prince's Account is a fifth-rank official position and can only be appointed by the emperor. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to appoint yourself?"

"Of course I know, but I didn't say that I'll let him take office now. I'm just promised him to ask his father for appointment when he's back." Li Zhen said for granted that he was not so stupid that he had appointed an official position privately. He comforted Xue Rengui: "As for the credit, you can rest assured. With this killing technique, your credit will be great. When the entire army learns this killing technique, you are the teacher of the entire army. Who dares not accept you? And with this credit, it's too light to be named a marquis. What's the point of a mere fifth-rank army? By the way, when it comes to titles, you can use this killing technique to be named a marquis, and I personally ask for it for you."

"That's right, Rengui congratulates you." Fang Yiai congratulated Xue Rengui with envy: "You have to treat us well this time."

"Well..." Xue Rengui was speechless.

"Okay, why don't there be so much nonsense? Rengui quickly took me to see it." Li Zhen said as she was about to leave, but was stopped by Fang Yiai: "Your Highness, then you are leaving, what should I do with the cannon? Are you not going to train?"

"Of course, but I have taught them almost everything I should give to them. The rest is to let them play accurately and maintain them later." Li Zhen turned around and said, "How to play accurately can be taught by Zhong Zhixiang. His current mathematical knowledge is enough to allow him to temporarily take my position. As for maintenance, maintenance is not something that I have to do every day. Moreover, when I was maintaining Thor One, I also let them watch it, so you can also let them try to maintain it yourself. Anyway, I can't go there today, so you can go there yourself."

"Okay, that's all." Fang Yiai knew that Li Zhen wanted to see the birth of the killing technique, so she could only nod and leave.

"Let's go and see the killing technique."

"Your Highness, please."

......

"This is the first-generation killing technique. Who can you demonstrate it to me?"

"Wang Dewei is willing to demonstrate to Your Highness." Wang Dewei stood up first.

"Accurate."

"Swish!" Wang Dewei pulled out the Tang sword and started to demonstrate it directly. There are nine tricks in the first version of the killing technique.

Among them, the footwork is listed as a single move, which is composed of Wang Dewei's turn and Liu Laoliu's flash steps plus the experience of the rest of the people. Not only is it more labor-saving to use, but it is also more agile in twists and turns. What is even more rare is that there are only six changes in this set of footwork. As long as you are not a fool, you basically have no problem learning.

In addition to footwork, Xie Yu's power-enhancing technique has another single move. This move mainly makes people increase their strength, which can explode suddenly when facing the enemy, and can play an unexpected role. It has a blessing effect on the other seven moves, and is considered an auxiliary move.

In addition to footwork and power-enhancing techniques, the other seven tricks of killing are called armor-breaking, gun-breaking, arrow-breaking, fist-breaking, hammer-breaking, and cavalry. The corresponding shield, gun-half, sword, sword, arrow, fist, foot, hammer-breaking, and cavalry are six different weapons or enemies, which can enable soldiers to make the most reasonable response when facing the above weapons. Although these responses cannot make people completely survive when facing the above weapons, they can save their lives to the greatest extent.

What is even more rare is that these nine martial arts have one thing in common, that is, they are very easy to learn. Among all the moves, the most changes in footwork, but there are only eight changes. The rest, such as armor breaking, only four changes in four changes in arrow breaking, etc. Such simple martial arts can be almost mastered even if you teach fools, and practice for a few months. It is the most suitable martial arts to promote in the army.

In addition, these moves are very practical. Among all the moves, none of them is unnecessary. They are all fatal and fierce moves with one knife. If you can kill someone with one bit of strength, you will never use two points. If you can kill the enemy with one bit of strength, you will never use two tricks.

Therefore, the whole set of killing techniques has no beauty at all, and it looks very insidious. However, although it doesn't look very good, it can best save your life on the battlefield. This is enough.

"Baopao!" After reading Wang Dewei's demonstration, Li Zhen couldn't help but applaud: "It's indeed extremely practical. I knew I didn't find the wrong person. Everyone has worked hard, so everyone comes forward to listen to it."

"At." Everyone looked happy and knew that it was time to reward merit.

Li Zhen said solemnly: "Everyone has devoted himself to the killing technique. Now that the task is completed, I cannot let everyone down. In addition to the rewards promised to you in advance, each person will reward ten taels of gold and hundreds of taels of silver. In addition, I can also agree to your request. As long as I can do it and do not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, I will definitely help you achieve it."

No one expected that Li Zhen would make such a promise, and he looked at each other in an instant. If the previous reward was affirmation of them, it was worthy of their hard work, then the last reward would be too heavy, so that the entire tent would become a sound of needles and silent.

Finally, Xie Yu plucked up his courage and asked, "This... Your Highness, can you have any wish?"

"Xie Yu, what are you doing?" Wang Dewei scolded, and the others glared at Xie Yu. Your Highness is willing to make a promise to you. That is your highness's gift, but you must not be ungrateful.

Li Zhen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Of course it's true. As long as I can do it and do not violate the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, it's fine."

"Then I, Xie, dared to make a request." Xie Yu seemed to have made up a great determination, and suddenly she fell to her knees and knelt on the ground, crying: "Your Highness, Xie was a fighter in the past. Not to mention that others looked down on me, we even looked down on me. But... But you are different. Not only do you treat us as human beings, but you also treat us well...

Lao Xie was confused all his life, but in the end he found that it was the happiest thing he had lived in these few days. Why did he feel happy? It was because His Highness regarded us as human beings.

I, Lao Xie, are rough people, do not understand any great principles, do not know what repays kindness with kindness, nor do I know what it means to die for a confidant, but we also know that it is better. Your Highness is good to Lao Xie, so Lao Xie should give his life to Your Highness.

So Lao Xie’s request is very simple, just to ask Your Highness to take Lao Xie over the account. Whether it is a soldier or a slave, I Lao Xie admit it."

"Xie Yu..." Li Zhen was shocked when he heard this. He was just treating everyone with the habits of later generations, but he did not expect that in this feudal society where people cannibalize people, this action would bring such a great touch to people.

At the same time, he also understood that no wonder that no one of his subordinates had betrayed him. For example, Wu Liu was pushed to his neck by the people from the Han Palace with a knife, but he still refused to let go. It was not that he was not afraid of death, but because the scholar died for his confidant. Although he was not too close to them in his heart, he was just a little inadvertent equal treatment that was revealed to them.

"A scholar died for his confidant, so please ask Your Highness to take it in." Li Zhen was still touched, but after hearing Xie Yu's words, Wang Dewei and others were very moved, suddenly knelt down and asked Li Zhen to take it in together.

"This..." Li Zhen was a little embarrassed. He had never encountered such a thing before, so he couldn't help but look at Xue Rengui.

"Your Highness, everyone is also loyal. Please ask Your Highness to take them in." Xue Rengui quickly knelt down and asked.

"Since everyone is willing to follow me, I am naturally welcome, but I am just a prince. If you follow me, you can at most become a member of the Yuewang Inspector or the Marriage House. It is basically impossible to become a general." Although I really want to accept them, some things still need to be explained clearly.

"Please rest assured that your Highness is not following your Highness for promotion." Wang Dewei looked up and begged: "Just talk about your subordinates. He has been in the army for twelve years, and he has been in the army for less than twenty major battles. He beheaded a general at a level 100. Now he is just a chief minister of the Left Wei Guard, only a sixth rank, and has reached the limit. He has long had no intention of promotion."

"Yes, your highness, so do you subordinates. I beg you to take it in."

"I beg your Highness to take it in."

"I beg your Highness to take it in."

"I beg your Highness to take it in."

“…”

"Since that's the case, then I'll talk to the chief executive and transfer you all as my account." Li Zhen quickly agreed, "Don't kowtow."

"Thank you for taking it in. I will do my best to protect Your Highness in the future. Whoever dares to hurt Your Highness will step over my body." Xie Yu kowtowed again and slashed his palm with a dagger and swore.

"Yes, whoever dares to hurt your nobles is to step over my body," Liu Laoliu said immediately, and cut his palms down.

"Whoever dares to hurt your nobles is to step over my body first." Cut your palm +3.

"Whoever dares to hurt your nobles a hair, step over my body first." Cut the palm +4.

"Whoever dares to hurt your nobles is to step over my body first." Cut your palm +5.

“…” Cut the palm +n.

"Okay, okay, just wrap the wound up quickly, don't get infected again. What's wrong with you?" Li Zhen frowned and threw a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao, asking them to bandage the wound up quickly and stop getting infected with tetanus. But he didn't know that this is a "traditional virtue" left by the Chinese nation since ancient times, called "breaking the palm or cutting the palm and making the oath (it seems that there are also face cuts). This ceremony will only be held in extremely solemn occasions, and it is generally not possible.

"You guys have a rest, I'll report to the chief executive." After instructing them, Li Zhen took Xue Rengui away from the tent and ran towards the schoolyard - at this time Li Zhen must have been watching artillery training.
