It took nearly two hours for Zhang Jiuli to come out reluctantly. If it wasn't getting dark, this guy would still be unwilling to come out. Qian Ping didn't know what to say. We have already reminded you not to do anything that will embarrass the court when you go in. But Zhang Jiuli saw so many new things, could he still take care of it?
When he just entered, this guy was so scared that he fell off his horse. A huge rock in the distance was shattered into pieces under the attack of these crossbows. He had never seen such a thing before. What on earth was used?
The most terrible thing is that during a collective attack, nothing can be seen on the distant horizon. No matter what kind of army you are, if you attack under such circumstances, I am afraid that what will be left in the end will be incomplete corpses.
At the last moment, this guy insisted on running over to take a look, which delayed the training of the new recruits. If Qian Ping hadn't had Li Xiang's gold medal, these people would probably have arrested Zhang Jiuli. After all, this was the secret weapon of the entire Tang Dynasty.
"Master Zhang, I've already told you several times before we went in. You must not do anything that would be disrespectful to the imperial court. Speaking of what you did today..."
Even though he had already walked out of the valley, Zhang Jiuli kept looking back, thinking about what had just happened. If it weren't for the rumbling sound of cannons, Zhang Jiuli still wouldn't have believed that what he had just seen was real. He even ran over to touch the black ash on the ground.
At that time, Qian Ping said, "After all, you are a senior official of the court. You went to tinker with this. Fortunately, the people inside are trustworthy. If it gets out, where will the face of our court be?" However, Qian Ping had seen such things in the capital. When Li Xiang first demonstrated it, many senior officials in the capital also did the same.
"Master General, please don't make fun of me. This is simply too unbelievable. I never dared to dream of such a thing before. No wonder Your Highness can lead the army to fight from east to west. With such a good thing, what are those chieftains in the mountains? We only have 4,000 troops. If there were 4,000 more, we could just attack them directly. If they don't obey us, they can just fire their cannons."
At this time, Zhang Jiuli integrated himself into Li Xiang's faction. In fact, you are just a person who does things. After this matter is done, it is hard to say what the outcome of both parties will be. However, after watching the artillery drill, Zhang Jiuli has made up his mind that no matter what happens in the future, he will stand on Li Xiang's side and show all his talents.
"You finally understand why those two generals were angry just now. Four thousand troops are not enough to wipe out all the chieftains on the mountain. But if they only want to destroy these strongholds at the foot of the mountain, it will only take them an hour or two. If it weren't so foggy at the time, I think it would have taken even less time."
Qian Ping looked inscrutable at this time. He just wanted to see that you guys had never seen the world. What can you do when you are a high-ranking official in the outside world? Who told you not to know the secret weapon of the court? Now you know it, right?
"Master General is right. If a fight really starts, I will definitely go and watch it."
Zhang Jiuli had a smile on his face. He originally thought that this task was very difficult, but after watching the test firing of the court's new army's artillery, this guy no longer felt that it was difficult at all. At worst, we can just attack by force. His Highness has plenty of troops.
Although I didn't bring many troops this time, I can definitely transfer them from other places. Fortunately, I am still useful to His Highness. If I were useless, with those artillery just now, you would not be able to go against His Highness even if you had a hundred ideas.
Just as the two were talking, a cavalryman came running from a distance. This man was one of Zhang Jiuli's men, but Zhang Jiuli had already ordered them that no matter what they did, they could not do it without telling Li Xiang's men. If Li Xiang had even the slightest suspicion, those people in the family would probably lose their lives.
Originally, Zhang Jiuli didn't dare to carry Li Xiang's men on his back, and now after watching the artillery drill, he was even more afraid, so he quickly asked his men to read it directly.
Qian Ping was very satisfied with Zhang Jiuli's performance. Just now, he was apparently trying to mediate between the two sides, but in fact, he was also threatening Zhang Jiuli with force, so that you wouldn't have any other ideas. As long as you don't have any other ideas, our mission can be completed very well.
The content of the letter was not long. It was written by Zhang Jiuli's second son-in-law Meng Chuan. His father had allowed him to take over the transaction, and it was scheduled for tomorrow night.
It seems that Shanshang also wants to make money from this crisis. Zhang Jiuli has reported this matter to Li Xiang. Li Xiang has handed over all matters to Qian Ping. So Qian Ping is also ready to see how they trade tomorrow night.
"Tomorrow night I'll have to give this brat some more fuel and make him hurry up. I'm abusing my power for personal gain. If he can come over earlier, please put in a few good words for His Highness, so that my little daughter and son-in-law can have a good ending..."
Zhang Jiuli thought for a while and said that this was how his life would be. His two sons were not promising people either, so he might have to rely on his son-in-law in the future.
"Don't worry, sir. His Highness has already opened the door. Anyone who contributes to this matter will be rewarded in the future, not to mention your son-in-law, who is already one of us. However, we must move quickly. If we wait until His Highness goes to Nanzhao Kingdom, no matter how good his work is, it will be reported to us. If he does it now, His Highness will see it with his own eyes, and the impression will be different."
Qian Ping had a selfish motive for saying this. This guy wanted to follow Li Xiang to Nanzhao. Who would be willing to serve Zhang Jiuli here? While completing this task would be a great achievement, wouldn't it be a great benefit to himself if it could be done faster? Moreover, analyzing the overall situation, speeding up the process is entirely possible, especially after Zhang Jiuli watched our artillery drills.
