Li Er was thrilled from the boat. After rushing to have a meal, he called Changsun to rush over and asked, "Chong'er, I have seen the big ship today. When I arrived at the sea, I realized that the people and the ship were very small. The vast sea looked close, but in fact it was very far away. If you use a bow and arrow, wouldn't it be very ridiculous? Are there any weapons with a longer range and greater power?" Li Er, the man with a keen sense of touch and soon discovered the problem.

Changsun Chong actually thought that such a large ship should have a weapon that matched him, that is, artillery. However, last time he asked Hua Wu to buy a hot weapon, but Hua Wu refused, so he could only study and explore it himself. Apart from knowing that there is sulfur and nitrogen in the gunpowder, he knew nothing about anything else, so how could he make such profound things as artillery and gunpowder?

But then I thought that he could go back to the present and collect some gunpowder formulas and artillery recipes from the modern Internet. However, I will talk about it when he takes the time to return to the modern world.

"Your Majesty has a clear view, Chong'er deeply agrees with it, but this weapon cannot be thought of in a short while, but I have some thoughts from some small things last year. I have been busy this year, so I have not thought about it carefully." Changsun Chong said modestly, respectfully in front of Li Er, and he also wanted to get out the cannon, but he was anxious and couldn't eat hot tofu, so he had to take everything slowly.

Li Er was overjoyed: "What inspiration do you think?" He couldn't wait to know Changsun Chong's thoughts, Changsun Chong had many ideas.

"Your Majesty, every Chinese New Year, fireworks will be set off. I accidentally saw a child injured his hand by a firecracker, so I started thinking that this thing is quite powerful. If you can increase the power of firecrackers, it will not only hurt people, but kill people." Changsun Chong explained that he often saw people on the Internet saying that China's gunpowder has developed into various types of firecrackers and fireworks. Although the West has been exposed to gunpowder very late, it has been studying the lethality of gunpowder, which has caused one of the reasons for the backwardness of modern China.

Li Er thought for a while and said, "I know what is inside, it seems to be called gunpowder."

"By the way, it's this gunpowder. Chong'er just wants to start with this gunpowder. If the gunpowder is more powerful, he will create a machine that can throw gunpowder into a further direction. Isn't it a very powerful work weapon?" Changsun Chong talked erudibly.

"Yes, it seems a bit interesting. I'll leave this to you. If you need something back to Chang'an, I hope you can get out powerful gunpowder as soon as possible." Li Er's heart began to be hot, and his plans were already in his mind. If you want to do it well, you must first sharpen your weapons. As long as there are more powerful weapons, you can ensure the safety of the soldiers and have greater chances of victory.

Li Er saw the lethality of bows and arrows against nomadic cavalry from the last war against the Turks. Nomadic people lack iron and because of their backward iron smelting technology, there were not enough bows and arrows. Most of the bows and arrows in their hands were taken from the dead during the war, and even more so. The production requirements for this arrow were very high. If the arrow body was not straightened, it would affect the direction of the arrow. The feathers on the tail of the arrow would mostly cost half a little less, which would cause the release of the feathers to stagger, so the nomadic nomadic peoples were best at riding on horseback and holding a large blade in their hands. They lowered their bodies and started attacking after rushing through the defense line.

The last Zhuge crossbow was labor-saving, high accuracy and long range, and his advantages were greatly demonstrated when fighting against the Turks, so he had to make full use of the advanced weapons to increase the possibility of victory and reduce casualties as much as possible. These soldiers were all strong men of the Tang Dynasty, and one less death was a pity.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Chong'er will take the order!" Changsun Chong responded.

"Chong'er, do you think there are so many big ships like us that can attack Goguryeo?" Li Er raised her heart, and saw that there were only two people, and he had no scruples and asked directly.

Changsun rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, we don't know much about the military deployment in Goguryeo, and Chong'er dares not talk nonsense. We will wait until we are ready to investigate. The business trips sent to various cities in Goguryeo last year are probably settled. Some news will be heard by the end of the year. Then we will make a long-term plan."

Li Eryi smiled embarrassedly when he heard this: "What you said is that you are good at investigating things, so you can't lead troops to fight. When I go back, I will find those old brothers to plan together."

"What Your Majesty said is that Chong'er is indeed not good. Last time he stayed in the Huotou Camp in the military camp, and he had no military achievements." Changsun Chong felt a little embarrassed.

"Haha, you have made a lot of contributions. Without your good ideas, you wouldn't have eaten so well. And later you urged to build Bagua City, which was a real record. Now no matter who goes to Bagua City, you are amazed at the layout there, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack." Li Er praised, and did not forget Changsun Chong's contribution.

"Your Majesty cannot praise you. This is done by Chong'er. My father is highly valued by Your Majesty. We are kings and ministers, and even relatives. We naturally have to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty." Changsun Chong said sincerely, hoping that Li Er's tolerance can make the Changsun family live a little better.

Thinking of the people in the Changsun family who were persecuted by Empress Wu in history, Changsun Chong felt that the burden was even greater. He had been with his family here for almost three years. Changsun Chong had already regarded this place as his second home. The respect for his younger brothers and sisters and the care for him and the care for him all touched Changsun Chong, so he had the obligation to protect and respect them.

"I know all of these things. The auxiliary machine has always been loyal to me. Although your aunt is the queen, she has never mentioned to me to take care of the Changsun family. Your father and your aunt are both good and understand the truth." Li Er said in a deep voice. After so many years of ups and downs, Empress Changsun at home handles housework for him, and an uncle outside helps him with his life and death. So far, they are very peaceful and never step beyond the line. This is also the reason why he trusts the Changsun family as always.

After Li Er got a powerful weapon from Changsun Chong, he felt relaxed and got on the boat for several days, followed several trips to the sea, and even got a regular fishing rod on the boat to fish!

As a result, the fish in the sea were too big and broke Li Er's fishing rod.

Just when everyone was feeling relaxed and was about to leave, a tragedy happened.

A small village not far from Dengzhou was slaughtered. Adults and children, all fifty or sixty were killed, leaving no one left.

When Li Er found out, he was furious and asked: "This is definitely not what the bandits do. In the past, bandits just robbed things and injured people. Even if they kill people, they would not be killed. What's going on?"

Li Yexu replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I went to investigate and found that these people did not steal money, but robbed all the food from a village."

"What kind of food?" Li Er frowned. With this, it would be even more impossible.

"Rice!" Li Yexu replied.

Changsun Chong was surprised, stood up and said, "It must be my Japanese!"

"When did this happen?" Li Er's eyes were red and he had a rough heart.

"On the night two days ago!" Li Yexu replied.

When Li Eryi heard this, he said, "Issued an order to immediately block everyone's ports and city gates, and no one is allowed to go to sea, including fishing boats, merchant ships and official ships."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Yexu received the order.

Li Er said to Zhou He beside him: "Transfer my order. Dengzhou Prefect and others ignored the lives of the people and did not report them in time. They were all imprisoned in prison. This group of wastes did not report them as soon as possible. The whole city was martial law, and they thought they would cover them like nothing happened. When they found the murderer, I would deal with them one by one."

Although a village is a small village, it is also a group of dozens of people. What the Tang Dynasty lacks the most now is people, it is a population! Damn, Li Er gritted his teeth and wanted to tear the Japanese into pieces.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhou He took the order and turned around to pass the order.

"Chong'er, what clues are there?" Li Er asked gloomyly.

Changsun Chong felt very sad. Unexpectedly, in order to get more rice seeds, the Japanese actually massacred the people of the entire village.

"According to the ruts, after they came to the city, there was no trace." Changsun Chong replied.

"If the Japanese rob the rice, they will definitely transport it away by boat. There is a lot of food in a village, at least 20,000 kilograms. It is not that easy to transport it to the ship." Li Er said in a deep voice, "Passing vehicles, one by one, will be arrested by me as long as they find food, regardless of whether they are Japanese or not."

Changsun thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, these people must have made careful plans for this. Two days have passed, and I am worried that these ships have left."

After hearing this, Zhang Daliang shook his head and said, "The sea breeze is very strong these days, and few people go out to sea. I feel that these people have not left yet."

Li Er's eyes lit up and he said, "It's time for your three thousand navy to pull out and practice, install your weapons and enter the state of combat."

Zhang Daliang felt hot inside and hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will take the order!"

Princess Changle and Changsun Yiniang, who were originally thinking of going out for a walk, were sad when they heard about the village slaughtering, and stayed peacefully in the inn.

"Princess, Yi Niang, the city is in chaos these days. Don't go out, stay in the inn honestly." Liu Muxiang has been following the two of them to protect their safety. She once fought with the Japanese and knew that there were people with high martial arts skills among them. Although they all captured the Japanese last time, they were tightly on the surface, and there were definitely many Japanese in the dark.

Princess Changle, Changsun Yiniang nodded repeatedly and said, "We don't know how to do martial arts. When we go out, we will only cause trouble for everyone. We will stay in the inn honestly, so don't go."
