Ang Lee carefully studied the armored artillery vehicles and analyzed the problems of the artillery vehicles according to the problems provided by the researchers so that he could give more accurate suggestions for improvement.
Li Yu and Li Qiu were here to watch the fun. What they cared more about was how the armored artillery vehicles could be used on the battlefield, how they could annihilate the enemy with zero casualties, and how they could show the strength of the Tang Empire. After seeing the armored artillery vehicles, the two of them even had the idea of leading an army to annihilate the enemy.
In their eyes, as long as there were enough armored artillery vehicles, they could definitely win the war, even if the commander was an ordinary person who had never read military books.
After studying for a while, Ang Lee found some problems and handed them to the researchers and asked them to make improvements according to this idea so that the armored artillery vehicles could be successfully developed as soon as possible.
In fact, there was an even simpler weapon, which was the Iron-armored Chariot without cannons. This kind of vehicle didn't need to worry about the recoil of the cannons, so it could be manufactured without much research and development. Moreover, it had a longer driving range than the Iron-armored Chariot.
However, such armored artillery vehicles could only be used to crush enemies or protect senior leaders. They did not have super long-range attack ability. Therefore, Ang Lee was not very enthusiastic about this. He planned to concentrate on building the armored artillery vehicles first. When the armored artillery vehicles began to be mass-produced and the iron supply of the Tang Empire was more abundant, the armored artillery vehicles would be built in batches immediately. They would be the vassals of the armored artillery vehicles. They would follow the armored artillery vehicles to charge into the enemy lines and create more value at a lower price.
Later, Ang Lee took Li Yu and Li Qiu to visit the R&D department of large steam turbines and large propellers. He told them about the situation after these big guys were built and equipped with large ships, which shocked Li Yu and Li Qiu.
In the direction of Luoyang, Li Huaijie, the Khitan King, and Li Yanchong, the King of Xi, were riding side by side. They were often bullied by An Lushan in the northeast. Of course, they also joined forces to fight back. However, the Tang Empire had a strong foundation. Every time An Lushan was damaged, he could get enough manpower and weapons. However, the two of them could not. If they won, the damage to the Tang Empire was not great, but if they lost, they would suffer heavy losses.
A few years ago, with the support of the Turks, they could still get a lot of help. But now, the Turks were completely destroyed, and their old rival, An Lushan, was also the Fanyang Provincial Governor. The number of troops under his command had increased several times, which posed a greater threat to them.
Helpless, the two of them could only bow their heads to the Tang Empire and beg the Tang Empire to marry them. In this way, they would be one family, and there would be no need to attack each other. At the same time, the Tang Empire was rich in material resources and could provide them with some support so that they could live a better life.
Of course, Li Huaijie and Li Yanchong were not easy to deal with. Their submission was not out of their hearts, but an expedient measure out of desperation. Once there was chaos in the Tang Empire, they would not hesitate to rush out and take a bite.
"Brother Huaijie, do you think it is a wise move for us to marry the Tang Empire this time?"
Li Yanchong looked at Li Huaijie beside him and frowned.
"It's hard to say! The Emperor of the Tang Empire is old and can't listen to honest advice. There are more and more villains around him. Otherwise, An Lushan, the bastard, would not be such a high-ranking official. The whole Hebei Province is under his control alone. "
Li Huaijie sighed helplessly.
"It seems that Brother Huaijie is worried about the same situation as me. Even if we marry the princess of the Tang Empire, An Lushan may not be able to stop."
Li Yanchong smiled helplessly.
"So what? The Turks have been destroyed. With our current strength, if we don't surrender to the Li Tang Empire, there will be no place for us at all. I hope that after we surrender, An Lushan can be a little more well-behaved."
Li Huaijie said softly.
"Brother Huaijie is right. We can only take one step at a time. Everything depends on God's will. Go, go, go."
As Li Yanchong spoke, he spurred his horse forward and broke away from Li Huaijie.
"Han Lu, why are you so unhappy? Who made you unhappy?"
Li Yanchong caught up with Li Hanlu and walked side by side with her, looking at Li Hanlu with a smile.
"When has Lord Huaixin ever been happy to see me?"
Li Hanlu answered coldly, not giving Li Yanchong any chance.
"Hanlu, you should smile more. It's really not good to keep a straight face."
"If Lord Huaishun doesn't like it, you don't have to look."
Li Hanlu said and spurred her horse away.
As the leader of the Nu Du Tribe, one of the seven tribes of the Xi Tribe, Li Hanlu needed to follow Li Yanchong to Chang 'an City and accept the reward from Emperor Li Longji. If it were not for this reason, she would never go with Li Yanchong.
However, at this time, the Nu Du Tribe was no longer the largest tribe of the Xi Tribe, but a small tribe with a small number of people. The reason was that Li Tagu insisted on going south and was severely injured by the troops of the Tang Empire. After returning to the tribe, he was attacked by An Lushan many times, further increasing the losses. Li Tagu himself died in battle, and the remaining tribe was led by Li Hanlu.
"Brother Yanchong, do you like such a cold beauty?"
Li Huaijie spurred his horse to catch up and looked at the unwilling Li Yanchong.
"This is the number one beauty of the Xi Tribe. Of course I like her."
Li Yanchong's tone was a little hostile.
"Haha! Not only is the cold beauty beautiful, but she also has thousands of subordinates. If Brother Yanchong can get the beauty, it can be said that you can kill two birds with one stone! "
Li Huaijie teased.
"Brother Huaijie, you must be joking. I like the people of Hanlu. As for the thousands of subordinates, I have never cared about them."
Li Yanchong said arrogantly.
"Haha! I really didn't expect Brother Yanchong to be such a sentimental person. However, we are going to marry the princess of the Tang Empire soon. Cold beauty, forget about it! "
Li Huaijie grinned.
"If Hanlu is willing to marry me, I would rather kill the princess of the Tang Empire."
Li Yanchong punched his thigh angrily.
"Brother Yanchong, this is Luoyang City. There are some things you can't say."
Li Huaijie was shocked and quickly stopped him.
"I'm sorry, it was a slip of the tongue."
Li Yanchong said as he looked at Li Hanlu who was walking further and further away. His eyes were filled with unwillingness.
In the direction of Luoyang City's train station, Li Ya 'er looked at the huge thing in front of her in surprise. The last time she passed by Luoyang City, she didn't see such a thing. In just a few years, such a huge thing had actually appeared in Luoyang City.
"What is this thing? It's actually so big? "
Li Ya 'er spurred her horse to the train station and asked the staff inside.
The staff at the train station saw that Li Ya 'er was beautiful and were very willing to tell her everything about the train. They even took the initiative to say a lot of things, hoping to chat with Li Ya' er more.
'So this is actually something invented by Big Brother. Big Brother is so amazing!'
Li Ya 'er's lips curled into a smile. She felt very happy.
"Ya 'er, why are you running so fast?"
Li Hanlu urged her horse to catch up and looked at Li Ya 'er who was standing at the entrance of the train station.
"Elder Sister Hanlu, look. Such a big train was invented by my eldest brother. Also, many of the things we saw on the road were invented by my eldest brother."
Li Ya 'er said proudly.
"What a huge thing."
Li Hanlu exclaimed.
"Ladies, this train is amazing. It only takes half a day to reach Luoyang City after boarding. What if it takes half a month by carriage?"
The staff said with a smile and tried to get closer to the two girls.
"We are Lord Huaixin's followers. Can we take your train?"
Li Ya 'er asked.
"So you are Lord Huaixin's followers. The imperial court specially allocated a train to welcome you. See? It's the purple and red one with a row of green carriages at the end. "
Li Ya 'er was overjoyed and looked at Li Hanlu. "Sister, let's go now and see what the train looks like."
"But what about our horses? Can we get on the train too? "
Li Hanlu looked at the staff.
"Of course you can. The green carriages at the back are specially used to store horses. I'll take you in."
The staff introduced the train enthusiastically and led the way in front.
After the two girls tied up the horses, the staff led the two girls to the soft-seat carriage in front and let them sit down.
"Haha! Sister, it's so comfortable to sit here! What is this? I can see what's going on outside? "
Li Ya 'er leaned on the seat excitedly and patted the Medicine Jade Glass next to her.
"Ladies, this is Medicine Jade Glass. It was invented by Assistant Minister Li of the Tang dynasty. It's a good thing."
Li Ya 'er smiled and asked, "Everything in this train was invented by Assistant Minister Li, right?"
"You are so smart. Yes, many good things in the Tang dynasty were invented by Assistant Minister Li. When we get to the capital, you will know how amazing Assistant Minister Li is."
Li Hanlu stood up and said coldly, "We can walk around."
"No problem. I'll show you the way."
The staff walked in front enthusiastically and glanced behind from time to time. It was worth it to see beautiful girls.
"Ladies, this is the best soft-sleeper carriage. You can sleep in it. Moreover, each compartment is equipped with a fireplace. However, you have to pay for the honeycomb coals. This time, in order to welcome Lord Huaishun and Lord Huaixin, all the coals in the fireplace are free, and they have already been burned."
"Sister, let's go in and have a look."
Li Ya 'er opened a small compartment. Suddenly, a warm wave of heat rushed over.
"Wow, it's so warm! Sister, come in. "
Li Ya 'er ran into the soft-sleeper compartment and sat on the soft bed, looking around the compartment curiously.
"Ladies, this soft-sleeper carriage is the best in the Tang dynasty. Usually, only the rich and powerful are willing to spend money to sit in it. Ordinary poor people can't afford to sit in it."
"Thank you very much, Young Master. We'll sit here."
Li Ya 'er smiled happily.
"Then who are you?"
"Lord Huaixin's entourage!"
"This … Followers can only sit on chairs like the one just now. They can't sit in private rooms. These private rooms are reserved for the leaders and above. Please understand."
Li Ya 'er smiled and said loudly, "Listen, my sister is the leader of the Fury Tribe. I'm her sister."
"Sorry, sorry. So you're the sister of the leader. Have a good rest. I'll go out and greet the others."
The staff answered with a smile and turned to leave.
"Sister, this man is so nice. He's so nice to us."
Li Ya 'er said.
"He's not nice. I don't like him."
"Well, if you say he's not nice, then he's not nice!"
Soon, Li Huaijie and Li Yanchong's group arrived at the Luoyang Railway Station. Under the personal reception of the station master, they boarded the noble train one by one.
These barbarians from remote mountainous areas had never seen a high-end train. The two groups, including Li Yanchong and Li Huaijie, all looked at the various facilities in the Luoyang Railway Station with a shocked expression.
When they heard that the imperial court of the Tang dynasty allowed them to take the train to the capital city and that they would arrive in Chang 'an City the next morning, everyone was shocked speechless.
In order to prevent these country bumpkins from making trouble, more than a dozen petty officials from the capital city came with them on the train. They were responsible for explaining the most basic information about the train to these country bumpkins so that they could understand the wealth and powerful technology of the Tang dynasty.
The train set off in the afternoon and had to slow down after dark. Therefore, this train would arrive at the Changan City Railway Station the next morning.
When the train set off, few of the country bumpkins in the train sat down. Almost all of them crowded near the medical jade window and curiously looked at the moving scenery outside the window. It was not until nearly an hour later that they gradually calmed down. Their behavior was naturally despised by the petty officials and train staff of the Tang dynasty.
Because the train would take a long time to arrive at the Changan City Railway Station, in order to prevent these country bumpkins from being unable to hold back their urine and polluting the high-end carriages, the petty officials of the Tang dynasty had already told them about the toilet room in the crack of the train. This caused another commotion. Many people who did not need to go to the crack to see what was strange. This made the petty officials of the Tang dynasty who were in charge of the reception despise them greatly. They lamented that barbarians were indeed barbarians who had no self-restraint and no knowledge.
The delicacies served on the train were all delicacies invented by Ang Lee himself. Naturally, the taste was much better than the half-roasted wild meat. During dinner, these country bumpkins all rushed to add more food, making the whole dining car noisy. Even if several big leaders were there in person, they did not have much effect on them.
Of course, these big leaders were not very good. They often occupied a whole table with two people, making the dining car even more crowded. Many people had to run to the soft seats with big bowls.
"Sister, it's so noisy in the dining car. Are we still going to eat?"
Li Ya 'er returned to the soft seats and frowned. She was very hungry, but she did not want to squeeze into the dining car with these rude men.
"I'm not hungry. There's some dry food in the bag. You eat some first!"
