Yang Jiye and the seven sons of the Yang family were all summoned.
Yang Yanzhao and his brothers had used the Type 92 heavy machine gun at Lianglang Mountain, but this was their first encounter with an AK. Compared to the fifty-odd jin heavy beast, this thing was much more portable. With thirty rounds per magazine, staggered firing could completely form a firepower suppression. These thousand AK-47s were more than enough for conquering Liao.
Fang Er had Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui summoned as well, and pointing at the seven sons of the Yang family, he said, "Teach them how to maintain and use them, and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. We have other matters to attend to."
"Yes, Duke," they replied in unison, then led the seven sons of the Yang family to the city's training grounds.
The quick-witted Yang Yanzhao noticed Fang Er's address to Wang Xuance and, on the way, sidled up to him and asked, "Are you the Great Tang War God Wang Xuance, who single-handedly destroyed a nation?"
Wang Xuance was dumbfounded. Did he really have such an impressive record? However, he quickly realized that this was the Song Dynasty, and Yang Yanzhao must be referring to things he would do in the future. Thus, he nodded guiltily, "That's right, but I really don't deserve the title of War God."
"There are too many generals who destroyed nations in the Great Tang. Just our Duke himself destroyed four countries. It's precisely because of this that the Emperor betrothed Princess Changle to him as his equal consort." Yang Yanzhao and the others were all shocked. They never imagined that this young Duke, who looked so young, had not climbed his way up through connections!
After a while, Yang Yanzhao recovered and excitedly asked Xue Rengui, "Then, are you Xue Rengui, the great general who settled Tianshan with three arrows?"
Xue Rengui: ??? His reaction was identical to Wang Xuance's just now. What in the world was this? Tianshan? Wasn't that the territory of the Duke of Lu? Why would he go there to settle anything?
Seeing him standing there in a daze, Wang Xuance chuckled beside him, "Hahahaha, that's right, he is Xue Rengui!"
"Hiss~~~" The seven sons of the Yang family gasped in unison. These two were famous generals of the early Tang Dynasty, almost idol-like figures, and now they were standing before them.
"Alright, no need to be so surprised. Come, I'll teach you how to use guns!" Wang Xuance put his arm around Xue Rengui's shoulder and continued walking forward, whispering a few words into his ear, reminding him not to reveal Li Shimin's divine status.
By the lake outside the city, after they had left, Fang Er asked Zhao Guangyi to accompany Li Shimin in fishing, while he himself returned to the helicopter landing spot to get to work. A thousand AKs occupied a considerable space, but Li Shimin didn't ask, and he was too lazy to come up with an excuse to explain. With Ge Luoyang leading people to guard the area, he opened the cabin door of a helicopter and got inside, then closed the door again. Inside the helicopter cabin, which could accommodate 34 people, he took out the AKs from the warehouse and stacked them neatly, then exchanged a large batch of ammunition. After finishing these tasks, he got out of the helicopter and waved to Ge Luoyang, "Send someone to Marshal Yang's camp to call Deputy General Wang Gui and have him take away the guns and ammunition inside."
A few days later, Yang Jiye selected a thousand soldiers from the army, entrusting them to Yang Yanzhao and Yang Yansi, who were the fastest learners of marksmanship, with five hundred men each. Zhao Guangyi stood on the reviewing stand, looking at the soldiers before him, his chest filled with heroic spirit. The majestic sight of Li Shimin charging into battle with an AK at Lianglang Mountain had been lingering in his mind. Now, with an army of a thousand equipped with such guns, the great undertaking of pacifying Liao was within reach! The Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun would only be a matter of time. What his second brother had not finished, his third brother must complete! A hundred years later, he would surely be among the ranks of Qin Shi Huang, Han Wudi, and Emperor Taizong of Tang~ No, he must be a figure far surpassing the founder of Song! Moreover, this evaluation would no longer be his own boast, but the affirmation given by the common people and his subjects! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reveal a proud smile.
Next to the reviewing stand, Li Shimin saw Zhao Guangyi's infatuated expression and felt utter disdain in his heart. Such a naive child, so pitiful~ If he were to bring out an air-cushion vehicle, it would probably make him drool to death~ Ignoring Zhao Guangyi, Li Shimin patted Fang Er's shoulder and asked, "Kid, do you have any further arrangements?"
"I plan to visit the Western Regions," Fang Er replied. He had the route map drawn by Motorola, and the route map to the Egyptian pyramids. Although he wasn't sure if they matched, it was worth checking out with plenty of time. Sister Tong had said that when the level of technology develops to a certain extent, gold can be used as energy! In that case, that pure gold sarcophagus should absolutely not be missed. Last time, in the Ming Dynasty, it was due to time constraints, but this time he definitely had to go look for it.
Li Shimin shook his head with regret, "Then you go by yourself. I was thinking of taking you to tour the capital of this Great Song." The Western Regions, that place with blowing yellow sand, I don't want to go a second time." "By the way, do you want me to collect the money for the guns from Zhao San for you?" Fang Er chuckled, "No need for your trouble, I've already spoken to my mother-in-law."
Li Shimin's expression darkened upon hearing this. Damn it. He had been thinking of skimming some profit, but this kid was truly cunning, giving him no opportunity at all! After settling the subsequent arrangements, leaving Xue Rengui and twenty special forces soldiers with Li Shimin, Fang Er flew away from Huazhou City the next day with Wang Xuance and Ge Luoyang. With oil in the warehouse, there was no worry in his heart. The three helicopters took off and flew west. At this era, there was no need to worry about anti-air defense, so the helicopters did not fly very high.
Fang Er was happy, but he terrified the Tanguts and various countries in the Western Regions along the way. The incident occurred when he passed by Xingqing Prefecture of the Tanguts and dropped a bag of grenades down. After that, every small country they passed, he delivered a package. There was no need to talk about having no just cause, because these small countries never considered that when invading the Central Plains. Each time they arrived, they caused a huge sensation. After they left, rumors of divine punishment began to spread in these countries. The Tanguts, who would later become the Western Xia, had not yet established their state at this time. It was not until 990 AD, when they were enfeoffed as the King of Xia by the Liao Dynasty, that they gained the name Western Xia. The bag of grenades, although not very destructive, caused chaos in the city. A group of officials found Li Jiqian. "Your Majesty, divine punishment has descended. According to the Central Plains, it is due to the ruler's lack of benevolence." "We implore Your Majesty to follow the example of the Central Plains and issue a decree of self-condemnation!" Further west, in smaller countries like the Uyghurs, Huihe, and Qarakhanids, a new religious sect appeared! The Flying Heavenly Divine Bird Sect, whose deity was worshipped in the form of wooden carvings exactly like helicopters~ Their dogma: Believe in the divine bird and gain eternal life; infidels shall be struck down by heavenly lightning!
