Chapter 653: Firearms
Fu Nianjun was happy to hear the praise of the people, and took the time to tease his husband, and expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhou Yubai, "I have done so many things for them, it can be said that I have put life and death out of the way, why do you just go to that station, even if you are 'made in heaven' with me?"
Zhou Yubai looked at her with a smile: "It's true that I'm climbing the lady down, and there is no other way, so I can only ask you to bear more." ”
me!
On the contrary, Fu Nianjun blushed when he saw it, so he had to find an excuse to stay away from him.
The sweet and loving appearance of King Huai and his wife can make the bachelors in the nearby ten miles red-eyed.
Zhang Chanzhi had always suspected that Fu Nianjun was Qi Zhaoruo's wife, but now after seeing this posture, he finally admitted that he was blind, and at the same time he was a little sympathetic to Qi Zhaoruo.
Qi Zhaoruo's existence was undoubtedly the most embarrassing, and by the time people remembered this Qi Xiao general who had made great contributions, he had already silently left Dunzhou City with his remaining cronies.
Qi Zhaoruo didn't say goodbye to others, even Fu Nianjun.
And Zhou Yubai knew, but he didn't deliberately stop him, the two met in a hurry, didn't mention Fu Nianjun, and said something serious.
At noon, Zhou Yubai did not eat with the generals, and chose to accompany his wife again.
"He still has something to do, and he should be in Weizhou soon. ”
Zhou Yubai said this to Fu Nianjun.
Fu Nianjun's eyes immediately became a little more naughty when he looked at him.
Where could Zhou Yubai not understand her, she has always spared no effort in finding an opportunity to mock him, so she simply cooperated with her, and said: "It's a pity? ”
Fu Nianjun almost choked on a sip of tea.
Zhou Yubai smoothed her out, "Satisfied?"
Fu Nianjun smiled, "Qilang, I know that you are not that kind of person, and he is leaving by himself." It's just that I still haven't explained a lot to him. ”
Even, Zhou Shaoyong's matter, she promised to tell him after defending the city.
Zhou Yubai smiled and rubbed the top of her head: "There is always a chance." ”
Fu Nianjun nodded, the best way for her to deal with Qi Zhaoruo now was to stay away from him, and don't provoke him if there is no need.
Otherwise......
He's really a little pitiful.
Before the meal was finished, Shan Yun came to find Zhou Yubai and Fu Nianjun, it turned out that there was something for them to make up their minds.
Wang Yongcheng and Di Ming did not go to Yanzhou, but there were a few military generals and civil officials who came to preside over the overall situation with Zhou Yubai, and Fu Nianjun went to visit them one by one, and they saw that this Princess Huai, who should have been in Tokyo City thousands of miles away, appeared here, and they couldn't say that they were not surprised, but fortunately, these people seemed to have some friendship with Zhou Yubai, so they didn't say anything out of line.
The Xixia people temporarily retreated, but the city of Yanzhou could not relax, the people had confidence, it was one thing for the garrison to stabilize the morale of the army, and the deployment still had to keep up, of course, these were not Fu Nianjun's responsibilities.
The Tanguts left in a hurry, but because their marching ability was already strong, the horses and prisoners were not too captured, but for the Song army, this time it was still a lot of gains, and the baggage and food of the Tanguts were pulled into the city of Juzhou, as well as the behemoth that caused the soldiers defending the city to panic for a while - artillery.
The soldiers of the Song army were very curious about this thing, and the soldiers who had seen its power before boasted nonsense and described it as terrifying. Therefore, how to deal with it, the people below couldn't make up their minds, so they simply asked Zhou Yubai and Fu Nianjun to decide.
Zhou Yubai didn't feel any surprise at this thing, Fu Nianjun said: "This thing is still a weapon that has not been completely successful, if it is really that powerful, how can the Western Xia people discard it at will like this." ”
When the generals next to her heard her words, their eyes all lit up, who didn't know that this Princess Huai was a powerful person, and she really blocked the Xixia people by relying on what "fire thistle" she made.
It's no wonder that no one has ever seen this thing, only she can tell the way.
"If this thing can be improved by one or two, it will be a good thing if it is used in front of our army. ”
A Jiang Yushi said.
Fu Nianjun glanced at him, "It's a good idea, but it's a little difficult at the moment, if it can be transported back to Tokyo City, there must be skilled craftsmen who can improve it." ”
"Princess, you can't?"
Fu Nianjun felt that they really overestimated themselves and regarded her as an immortal.
Someone immediately said: "The princess can make 'fire thistle', there is still a battle between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, if the princess is willing, we will ......"
Zhou Yubai interrupted them: "The production method of thistle, she has already told the armament battalion, my lords, the insiders are not generals in the court, and some things can't be interfered too much." ”
King Huai, who has always been gentle to others, rarely speaks in such a tone, and for a while these people dare not speak.
Zhou Yubai glanced at Fu Nianjun and only said, "Go back and rest." ”
Fu Nianjun has been sleeping almost in the past two days, and there is nothing to rest at all.
She said to the adults: "The development of firearms is not an overnight thing, I will do my best for the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia war, but on the battlefield, the most important thing to rely on should not be ...... Such a clever method is right, and I have confidence in my Great Song army. ”
Jiang Yushi had no choice but to say: "The princess is right. ”
Fu Nianjun also knew that these people were just a little anxious for quick success when they saw that Juzhou was defending.
If artillery could be developed so easily, Zhou Shaoyong would have had the ability to be invincible in recent years.
When he returned to the house with Zhou Yubai, Fu Nianjun still said: "Qilang, in fact, I have been thinking about firearms, and Jiang Yushi's words also have some truth......
Zhou Yubai said: "Don't worry about the war, this thing will appear in many years, right? You don't have to hide it from me, you have to study it, not now, when you return to the city of Tokyo, you can do your best." I think it's better to destroy this artillery, lest anyone in the army become dependent. ”
Fu Nianjun sighed, "Actually, it's not as difficult as I said, as long as there is a little gunpowder...... Forget it, there is no way to find gunpowder at this time. Qi Zhaoruo left, otherwise maybe he knew something. ”
"You just love to worry, if Qi Zhao has military affairs, at this time, he doesn't have time to think about this. ”
Fu Nianjun nodded, and felt a little regretful in her heart, if she could, she really wanted the artillery to be able to play its due use, even if it was once.
Although Zhou Yubai didn't tell her, she also understood that the current Song army did not have a good chance of winning against all the forces of the Western Xia people.
All the tricks and intrigues no longer worked, and in the end, it was a real duel of arms.
