Nowadays, the situation in Somalia has been temporarily stabilized because of this quick and victorious local war. There are only two countries connected to Somalia on land, one is Ethiopia and the other is Kenya. Now the two countries are the strongest. Ethiopia was beaten obediently by Somalia, and Kenya chose to live in peace with Somalia because of Ethiopia's past mistakes. This made the people of M country helpless towards Somalia for a while. In such a peaceful period, Li Ran led the robot army to launch an army in Somalia. for fast and rapid industrial construction. Li Ran was busy with matters in Somalia, while Li Min went to the Philippine colony. Ever since the fourth-generation equipment was delivered to the army, the Yizhou Army has been learning how to use these equipment in the Philippines. Now more than half a year has passed, and at the end With the training of the soldiers, the soldiers can skillfully operate equipment such as Humvee military vehicles and machine guns. After all, Li Min has never been afraid of them wasting bullets and gasoline. The purpose is to let them practice first-hand, rather than sitting in a room and learning theory. Today, Li Min is also wearing a military uniform from the army, but this uniform is also made of liquid metal. Now that Yizhou soldiers have so many murderous modern weapons in their hands, he has to consider his own safety and patrol. After a circle, Li Min was satisfied with the soldiers' proficiency in using the equipment. Now these soldiers' fighting methods are basically no different from modern tactics. "Your Highness, we now have enough capabilities to wage war against the Great Food Country." Qin Huaiyu was very confident. The weapons held by the soldiers now are different from before. Not to mention automatic rifles, there are also heavy machine guns, grenades, etc. The power of weapons and artillery has also been greatly improved. He believes that giving him a thousand troops can conquer a small country. Zhu Youzhi said: "The morale of the soldiers is very high now. Last time we suffered some losses in the Food Country, they all clamored for revenge." Last time a thirty-man reconnaissance team was killed in the Food Country Thousands of cavalry from the Great Food Kingdom surrounded and intercepted them, and all thirty soldiers were killed. Their weapons were also taken away by the Great Food Kingdom. They originally wanted to go deep into the Great Food Country for revenge, but at this time Li Min asked them to evacuate from the Great Food Country. To adapt to the new equipment, they had to return to the Philippine base for training. Now that everything was ready, they naturally wanted to take revenge. "Humph, it's not just you who brought it upon yourself. As the saying goes, a proud soldier will be defeated. You are too arrogant and let the three Ten soldiers go deep alone, and there are hundreds of thousands of cavalry in the country. Are they just decorations? What is the use of thirty guns in the face of the cavalry charge? "Zhu Youzhi looked embarrassed. This decision was made by him. In the past, he would never have made this mistake, but during this period, the Yizhou Army was invincible wherever it went. He was also dazzled by this victory, and some deployments were full of mistakes, "Your Highness, this is the fault of the humble minister. " Looking at the dozens of steel battleships parked on the ocean, Li Min said: "Every time you learn a lesson, you will gain wisdom. Don't underestimate our enemies at any time, otherwise we will always suffer in the end. You know why I want to replace the fourth generation "Equipment?" "It's just to defeat the Great Food Country." "This is just one reason." Li Min's eyes narrowed, "Speaking of which, our industrial reform in Yizhou has been going on for five or six years. During these five or six years, various technologies and crafts have flourished, and so have the workers who have mastered these technologies. There are more and more, and in the past few years, Yizhou merchants have traveled almost all over the world. Merchants are pursuing profits. Naturally, they sell whatever they make money. This naturally includes some industrial technologies, our iron-making process, and the secrets of gunpowder. It¡¯s not a secret. A year ago, Marquis Wu arrested a group of people, including our retired soldiers. They used the materials purchased in Yizhou to make a batch of guns, although they were only first-generation guns. Level, but it is enough to explain the problem. The gun manufacturing process is no longer a secret. "" Damn it, which soldier is it? I will kill them." Qin Huaiyu said angrily. He naturally understood what Li Min meant. Although this was the first time. Modern firearms are not very powerful, but if these equipment are spread, they will pose a great threat to soldiers. Li Min waved his hand, "No need, they are naturally punished by law. Business in Yizhou is very active now, and it is impossible for us to monitor everyone, especially these profit-seeking businessmen. Steamships allow them to see overseas Huge wealth, these soldiers confessed, their firearms were made for certain businessmen, and the purpose of these businessmen is to plunder wealth, gold mines, gems, and slaves overseas. These are enough to make the businessmen take risks. " "That can't be done. Find a way to control it?" Zhu Youzhi said: "If these illegal traders build an armed fleet, it will not be a good thing for us. Our colonies are spread overseas, and they will definitely look for supplies in our colonies. " Li Min also wanted to find a way to solve the problem of privately manufactured firearms among the people, but the facts told him that it was basically impossible to put an end to it. In modern society, Country Z has no control over guns.The control of firearms is so strict, but firearms can be found in the hands of any gang involved in gangs. These firearms do not fall from the sky, and they are not all privately imitated by the private sector. Su Morer also has a headache about this problem. Datang is too large. , and the population is sparse, and there are deep mountains and old forests everywhere. Some illegal businessmen can easily find secret dens. "I have asked Wu Hou to investigate and deal with this matter strictly, and asked them to strictly control the enterprises that produce steel pipes. Although this can reduce Similar situations happen, but you should also be mentally prepared and be more vigilant against maritime merchants. They may be pirates behind the scenes. " "Yes, we understand," the two said in unison. . Li Min nodded when he heard this. Over the years, Li Min has been observing the changes that industrialization has brought to Yizhou. It has to be said that industrial revolution has made the lives of people in Yizhou and even the Tang Dynasty more and more nourishing. However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. The improvement of material life stimulates everyone's inner desire. They all want to have more money and obtain more material enjoyment, so some daring people set their sights overseas. In the Tang Dynasty, they did not dare to No matter what, this is because this is their own country, and it has strong armed forces and strict laws. But overseas, they are like wild beasts. For those who want to obtain wealth illegally, firearms are undoubtedly their best tools. Li Min, who is watching all this with cold eyes, suddenly understands a truth. A big voyage The era has come, but it is different from modern time and space. This era of great navigation began in the Tang Dynasty, and the people who dominated the ocean were the people of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, he had to start worrying about a problem that would definitely arise in the era of great navigation. That was the rise of pirate power. Li Min still remembered that in the Western era, many soldiers took warships to defect from the army and became pirates, and he had to guard against this problem. After explaining the two people's defense against pirates and strengthening the management of weapons and equipment, the three of them were about to board a cruiser. At this time, Li Min's phone suddenly rang, and Cui Yingying's voice came from it. "What's going on?" Cui Yingying's tone was a little anxious, Li Min asked. "The imperial grandfather has ascended to heaven." Cui Yingying said slowly. "When did it happen?" Li Min has been staying in the Philippines these days and doesn't know anything about Yizhou. "It was last night. He didn't wake up after falling asleep." Cui Yingying told Li Min what happened. "Have you notified Father?" Li Min asked. "We have been notified. My father asked us to transport the imperial grandfather's body to Chang'an." "I understand. I will go back now." Li Min hung up the phone after saying that. Li Yuan is now seventy-seven years old. When his illness was cured, Sun Simiao told him that Li Yuan's body could not support him for a few more years. Unexpectedly, this fact came true. Seeing Li Min's face suddenly darken, Zhu Youzhi and Qin Huaiyu asked, "Your Highness, what happened?" "The Emperor has passed away. Come with me to Chang'an." Li Min said to the two of them, Li Yuan was in Yiyi I have lived in Yizhou for five or six years and am very familiar with both of them. Moreover, both of them are important ministers of Yizhou, so there is no reason not to go. "Yes." They both nodded at the same time. After asking the two to explain the matters at hand, Li Min took the two of them back to Yizhou by plane. At this time, Li Yuan's body had been placed in the car heading to Chang'an, and the Sizi and the three princes in the prince's residence were also He came back from school. Speaking of which, because of Li Shimin's cold relationship with Li Yuan in the past, Li Shimin's children did not have strong feelings for Li Yuan. However, their time together in Yizhou over the years did make them have some feelings for Li Yuan. Sizi and the three The younger prince was already in tears, and Li Ke also rushed over from Jingzhou. He looked sad, but he did not cry over Li Yuan's body like other princes. Instead, Cui Yingying, Princess Wu and other women kept covering their faces and sobbing. "Liu Lang." Seeing Li Min arriving in a hurry, Li Ke said: "The emperor's grandfather went very peacefully. Hey, life and death are determined by fate, and non-human forces can force it." Li Min sighed, feeling a little sad in his heart, and said, "We'd better leave it alone." The emperor's grandfather's body should be sent to Chang'an. It should be buried as soon as possible." Li Ke nodded and said: "By the way, there is also a letter, which is said to be written by the emperor's grandfather that night and asked you to deliver it to your father. , Grandfather Huang seems to understand that he can't survive." After that, Li Ke handed a sealed letter to Li Min. "Letter?" Li Min took the thick letter and thought that maybe Li Yuan still had something to explain to Li Shimin, so he collected the letter. After comforting everyone, Li Min suppressed his low mood. After all, he still needed to take charge of the overall situation here. He could not cry without any scruples like other princes. He arranged related matters. He and the members of the royal family took Li Yuan's The remains were mourned togetherGo away in peace. r1152
