Da Tang Xiao Si Zi: I have a little pouch-like boy.

Upon entering the military camp, Li Qin was taken directly to Li Er's tent.

"Hey kid, you're early. What's up? Want to join the army for a few battles?"

Li Er looked at him with a smile and asked if he wanted to join the army for some fun.

On his way here, he heard Li Er recount the battle from the day before yesterday.

I initially thought that a beach landing would be very difficult.

The result was a massacre that wiped out all resistance.

Although this is a port, it has very little defensive strength.

Japan did not expect that the Tang Dynasty would send troops to attack them, probably because they did not expect someone to attack them from the sea.

Apart from the Goguryeo side, there aren't many people here at all.

They were easily captured, and yesterday they spent the whole day repairing their fortifications.

After all, this place serves as the rear base, both as a retreat route and for subsequent grain transport.

Everyone must pass through here, so there is no room for carelessness.

If Li Qin doesn't come today, tomorrow we will officially begin the three-pronged attack to sweep across the entire Japanese island.

All I can say is that it came at the perfect time.

Li Qin thought for a moment and asked, "What about the Japanese here? Were they all killed?"

Li Er smiled and nodded: "Except for a few important people who were left to ask some questions, everyone else was buried."

Very good, Li Qin was quite satisfied with this.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I won't go to fight, I wouldn't know what to do anyway. But you can come and check every day. If you encounter any tough cities, you can come to me, I can help you out."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Li Er looked at him in surprise.

"Uh, it's just to provide some aerial views so we can see the situation inside the city clearly."

Li Qin was thinking of getting some drones so he could take aerial photos.

He told Li Er about this idea, and the other party immediately asked Li Qin to get the thing.

"Well... I'm afraid I'll have to wait a few more days, I haven't bought it yet."

Li Qin had just realized that the drones were still nowhere to be seen and he would need to order them when he got back.

Li Er: "..."

Seeing that Li Er was somewhat disappointed, Li Qin thought for a moment and took out the clapper that was tucked behind his waist.

"Second Uncle, this is for your self-defense."

"gun?"

Li Er was no longer the ignorant country bumpkin of the Tang Dynasty.

After a year and watching countless films, I naturally became familiar with this thing.

However, he also knew that China had very strict control over this kind of thing, and it was impossible for ordinary people to get their hands on it.

Although Li Qin is wealthy, he is essentially still an ordinary person.

So low-key and lazy, how could anyone possibly get it?

Li Qin grinned: "Hehe, it's not easy to deal with, so I only bought two. I'll take this one first."

Then, he and Li Er went to a secluded place and began teaching how to use the da da da.

They kept quite a few bullets, several hundred rounds in total.

After all, it was for self-defense; no one expected to use it to destroy Japan.

That's unrealistic; he doesn't have that much ability.

After Li Er had fully mastered how to use it, Li Qin went home.

I told Li Er that I would come to check on him every day.

If you need help, just send someone over and wait for our notification.

Of course, once the drone arrives, he will personally deliver it.

However, you'll need someone to guide you when the time comes.

When I got home, I saw that Changsun and the others had just returned as well.

He and the others reported that Li Er was safe and sound, and told him about the situation in Japan.

It's clear that although Li Yuan, this old man, sometimes couldn't stand seeing Li Er doing well.

But when it comes to actually fighting, he still cares a lot about his son.

Hearing that everything went smoothly, I unconsciously relaxed my body and expression.

Haha, what a stubborn old man.

That evening, Li Qin placed an order for ten drones in one go.

That's all, apparently this thing has poor battery life.

A fully charged aircraft can only fly for about forty minutes before needing to return and recharge.

Buy more, and release them in rotation so you can monitor them in real time.

As for the war itself, there wasn't much Li Qin could do to help.

He's just an ordinary person, at most he can provide some logistical assistance.

Get plenty of meat and vegetables, as well as various modern tents and the like.

Weapons are out of the question; they can't be supplied on a large scale.

During this year, he had already taught some modern iron and steel smelting knowledge to the Tang Dynasty.

The distribution of mineral resources within China and around the Tang Dynasty was also entrusted to Li Er.

The gunpowder formula was also good, but the problem was that firearms couldn't be made in a short time.

Moreover, given the current level of technology in the Tang Dynasty, producing large quantities of gunpowder would present a significant challenge in terms of preservation and management.

Anyway, Li Er made the arrangements himself, so he didn't interfere.

They definitely produced gunpowder, and it was even the kind with added sugar.

Li Qin knew that every month, Changsun would buy a large quantity of white sugar from the modern era and send it back to the Tang Dynasty.

However, very little of it has been revealed in the market, and it goes without saying where the rest went.

It's likely that Li Er's personal expedition was also driven by a desire to witness firsthand the impact of art as an explosion on the battlefield.

It's better to supervise and use it yourself than to entrust it to someone else.

Anyway, Li Qin's requirements had already been made clear to Li Er.

Even if Japan were to be destroyed and its people exterminated, prisoners could be kept to work in the mines, but otherwise, every egg on this land would be smashed.

In fact, according to Li Qin's idea, it would have been better to send some suicide soldiers to Mount Fuji with a large amount of explosives in the early stages.

Let's see if we can detonate this thing, and then wait for the volcano to erupt before we start landing and harvesting.

This will minimize the resistance we face.

However, Li Er disagreed, believing that the people here were all short, ugly, and poor.

It is best suited for training troops and testing explosives.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to come in person, much less bring generals like Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde with him.

In the days that followed, Li Qin would make a trip to Japan every noon.

Wait an hour or so to check the news coming from the front lines.

The drone arrived a few days later.

After fully charging the vehicle, we took the off-road vehicle and drove straight through.

They found Li Junxian, the guide left behind by Li Er, and drove an off-road vehicle directly onto the empty and deserted Japanese island.

One hundred fierce soldiers guarded him from all sides, galloping at full speed.

According to news from yesterday, Li Er is currently in the vanguard of the central route.

The three armies have each advanced nearly 300 li (approximately 150 kilometers) outwards.

Along the way, not a single chicken or dog was spared.

There was almost no resistance; it was very easy.

However, things seem to have changed in the last two days; it appears that Japan has begun to mobilize a large army.

The message must have already been sent out, and the other side is about to begin defending or counterattacking.

"General Li, has His Majesty sent anyone to search for mines?"

Li Qin thought of Iwami Ginzan, wondering if Li Er had sent anyone to search for it first.

Li Junxian, sitting in the passenger seat, respectfully replied:

"Your Highness, His Majesty has already sent people to search for you. I was originally going to go with them, but considering that you will be coming, I have specially instructed me to stay behind to guide you."

Okay, so it turns out I was the one who delayed their work.
