The current situation in Somalia has been temporarily stabilized because of this quick victory of the local war, and there are only two countries connected to the land of Somalia, one is Ethiopia and the other is Kenya. Today, the two countries are the strongest Ethiopia was subdued by Somalia, and Kenya chose to live in peace with Somalia because of the lessons learned from Ethiopia. Swift industrial construction.

Li Ran is busy with Somalia affairs, while Li Min is in the Philippine colony. Since the delivery of the fourth-generation equipment 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. Under the training of the author, the soldiers can skillfully operate the Humvee military vehicles and machine guns. After all, Li Yin is never afraid of them wasting bullets and gasoline. All purposes are for them to practice by themselves, rather than sitting in a room to learn theories.

Today, Li Yin is also wearing the military uniform of the army, but this military uniform is also transformed from liquid metal. Now that Yizhou soldiers have so many modern killing weapons in their hands, he has to think about his own safety and go on patrol. After a circle, Li Yin was satisfied with the proficiency of the soldiers in using the equipment. Now the combat methods of these soldiers are basically the same as modern tactics.

"Your Highness, we now have enough capabilities to start a war against the Great Food Kingdom." Qin Huaiyu is very confident. Now the soldiers are holding weapons that are not the same as 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 a loss in the Great Food Kingdom, they all clamored for revenge."

Last time a reconnaissance team of 30 people was besieged and killed by thousands of Dashi cavalry in the Dashi Kingdom. All thirty soldiers were killed in battle, and their weapons were also taken away by the Dashi Kingdom. They wanted to go deep The Great Food Kingdom retaliated, but at this time Li Yin asked them to evacuate from the Great Food Kingdom to adapt to the new equipment, and they had to return to the base in the Philippines for training. Now that everything is ready, they naturally want to revenge, "Huh, this is not your own fault, As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers are bound to lose, you are too arrogant, let thirty soldiers go deep alone, and the Dashi Kingdom has hundreds of thousands of cavalry, is that just a display? Facing the charge of the cavalry, what is the use of thirty guns!"

Zhu Youzhi showed embarrassment on his face. This decision was made by him. He would never make this mistake in the past. It's just that during this period of time, the Yizhou Army has been invincible everywhere. He was also dazzled by this kind of victory. , Some deployments were full of mistakes and omissions, "Your Highness, this is my fault."

Looking at the dozens of steel warships moored on the ocean, Li Yin said: "You will gain wisdom by eating a pit, and 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. ?"

   "Naturally in order to be able to defeat the Great Food Kingdom." Zhu Youzhi said.

"That's just one reason." Li Yin narrowed his eyes, "Speaking of which, our industrial reform in Yizhou has been going on for five years. During these five years, various technologies and crafts have flourished, and workers who have mastered these technologies are becoming more and more. More and more, and the merchants in Yizhou have traveled all over the world in recent years. Merchants are chasing profit, and naturally they sell whatever they make money. This naturally includes some industrial technology, our iron-making process, and the secret of gunpowder is not a secret A year ago, Marquis Wu arrested a group of people. These people include our retired soldiers. They used the materials they bought in Yizhou to manufacture a batch of guns. Although they were only the first generation of guns, they were It is enough to explain the problem, the gun manufacturing process is no longer a secret."

"Damn it, which soldier is it? I'm going to kill them." Qin Huaiyu said angrily when he heard the words. He naturally understood what Li Yin meant. Although the first generation of firearms was not very powerful, if these equipment spread out, it would be harmful to the soldiers. enough to pose a great threat.

Li Min waved his hand, "No need, they will naturally be punished by law. Now Yizhou's business is very active, and it is impossible for us to monitor everyone, especially these profit-seeking businessmen. The steamboat allows them to see overseas Huge wealth, these soldiers confessed that their guns were made for certain merchants, and these merchants aimed to go overseas to plunder wealth, gold mines, gems, slaves, these are enough to make merchants take risks."

"Then can't we find a way to control it?" Zhu Youzhi said: "If these illegal businessmen are allowed to build an armed fleet, it will not be a good thing for us. Our colonies are all over the world, and they will definitely be in our colonies. Look for supplies."

Li Yin also wanted to find a way to solve the problem of privately manufactured firearms, but the facts told him that it was basically impossible to eliminate it. In the modern society, country Z has such strict control over firearms, but any gangster involved in the gang can find firearms. These firearms did not fall from the sky, nor were they all imitated by the people without permission. Su Mo'er was also very troubled by this problem. The Tang Dynasty is too large and sparsely populated. There are deep mountains and old forests everywhere. Some illegal businessmen can easily find them. Secret Wo read, "I have asked Marquis Wu to investigate and deal with this matter severely, and asked them to strictly control the enterprises that produce steel pipes. Although this can reduce the occurrence of similar situations, you must also be mentally prepared and strengthen the control over the sea. In the vigilance of merchants, they face Shanghai merchants openly, but they may be pirates behind their backs."

   "Yes, we understand." The two said in unison.

Li Yin heard the words and read the head. Li Yin has been observing the changes that industrialization has brought to Yizhou these years. He has to say that industrial revolution has made the life of Yizhou and even the people of Datang more and more moist, but everything has advantages and disadvantages. The improvement of material life stimulates the desire in everyone's heart. They all want to have more money to get more material enjoyment, so some daring people set their sights overseas. In Datang, they dare not Come on, this is because this is their own country, and it also has strong armed forces and strict laws.

But overseas they are like beasts out of the cage, and guns are undoubtedly the best tool for these people who want to obtain wealth illegally. Li Yin, who watched all this with cold eyes, suddenly understood a truth, a great voyage The era has come, but it is different from the modern time and space. This era of great navigation began in Datang, and the people who dominated the ocean were the people of Datang. At the same time, he had to start worrying about a problem that would inevitably arise in the era of great navigation. That is the rise of the pirate power. Li Yin still remembers that in the Western era, many soldiers and warships defected from the army and became pirates, and he had to guard against this problem.

   Explained how the two defended against pirates and strengthened the management of weapons and equipment. The three were about to board a cruiser. At this time, Li Yin's phone rang suddenly, and Cui Yingying's voice came from inside.

   "What's the matter?" Cui Yingying's tone was a little anxious, and Li Yin asked.

   "The imperial grandfather has ascended to heaven." Cui Yingying said slowly.

   "When did it happen?" Li Yin 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 Yin what happened.

   "Have you notified Father?" Li Yin asked.

   "I have informed you, Father said to let us transport the remains of the emperor's grandfather to Chang'an."

"I understand. I'll go back now." Li Yin said and hung up the phone. Now Li Yuan is seventy-seven years old. When his illness was cured, Sun Simiao told him that Li Yuan's body could not support him. A few years later, I didn't expect this fact to come true.

   Zhu Youzhi and Qin Huaiyu saw Li Yin's face suddenly darkened and asked, "Your Highness, what happened?"

"The Supreme Emperor has passed away. Come with me to Chang'an." Li Min said to the two of them. Li Yuan had lived in Yizhou for five years and was very familiar with them. Moreover, both of them were important ministers of Yizhou. The reason to go.

   "Yes." The two read the headline at the same time.

Let the two explain the matter at hand, and Li Yin took the two of them back to Yizhou by plane. He came back from school. Speaking of it, Li Shimin's children didn't have a strong affection for Li Yuan because of the indifferent relationship between Li Shimin and Li Yuan before. Xiaodu's prince had long been weeping, Li Ke also rushed over from Jingzhou, his expression was mournful, but he didn't cry at Li Yuan's body like other princes, but Cui Yingying, Wu Wangfei and other women kept covering their faces and sobbing.

   "Lang." Seeing Li Yan rushing over, Li Ke said: "The emperor's grandfather went very peacefully. Hey, life and death are destiny, and you can't force it without manpower."

  Li Yan sighed, feeling a little sad, and said: "We'd better send the remains of the emperor's grandfather to Chang'an, so that he can be buried as soon as possible."

Li Ke read the head, and said: "By the way, there is another letter. It is said that the grandfather wrote it that night and asked you to pass it on to the emperor. The grandfather seems to understand that he cannot survive." , Li Ke handed a sealed letter to Li Yin.

   "Letter?" Li Yin took the thick letter, thinking that there might be something Li Yuan wanted to explain to Li Shimin, so he put the letter away.

After comforting everyone, Li Yin suppressed his depression. After all, he still needs to preside over the overall situation here. He can't cry freely like other princes. He arranged related matters. He and the members of the royal family brought Li Yuan The remains went to Chang'an together. r1152
