Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Betrayal of the Ten Perfect Old Men
As soon as the shells were in place, there were immediately red-hot iron bars piercing into the holes, and the bare artillerymen behind them quickly jumped into the pre-dug pits with their ears covered, and then jumped out to repeat the previous action after the cannon roared.

Sun Jie carried a bucket of water and splashed it on the cannon, and after a puff of white smoke came out, he touched the cannon barrel slightly with his hand, quickly grinned and touched his earlobe, and then continued to pour water on the cannon barrel.
The so-called eight golden lock formations under Guanshan have long been bombarded by artillery, and the original neat and orderly military array has now become a hell on earth, and from time to time there is an ownerless war horse running out of the smoke of gunpowder in terror, and galloping back and forth in the empty military formation with a neighing voice to find a way to escape.
When the Guanshan artillery position began to roar, Yelu Yixin still had the opportunity to continuously send reinforcements to the most important front pass, but unfortunately, after two days of artillery roaring, none of the Liao generals was willing to take his subordinates to die within the range of artillery bombardment.
If the two armies were fighting, it would be incumbent upon these Liao generals to rush up and fight the Song army, but even the bravest generals were reluctant to come to their deaths at the moment.
It's really a death, I can't even see the shadow of the Song army in my sight, but my army formation was blown apart by a large wave of gunpowder shells falling from the sky, such an experience is a nightmare for every Liao general.
The roar of artillery finally stopped, and the front army led by Jiang Zhe easily entered the eight-gate golden lock formation full of big pits.
There were rubble and broken flags everywhere, and in some places there were large areas of bloodstains, and the low stone walls that had been used to block the advance of the Song army were now so tattered that there was hardly a shadow of the original.
The first thing Jiang Zhe did after entering the big formation was not to attack. Rather, it was defense, and Sima in the army quickly repaired the stone wall with craftsmen and people under the cover of the army.
The general had long said that the army was not allowed to have close contact with the Liao, and all attacks could not begin until the artillery blew up the barricades in front.
Jiang Zhe looked back at the busy Guan Shan Mountain, and knew that today's military behavior had ended, and if he wanted to get artillery support, he would need to wait until at least tomorrow.
The Liao people's army could not hear a single sound. If it weren't for the smoke rising from the military formation, it would have made people think that it was a dead city!
The uproar of the Song army was very loud, and they were very satisfied with the situation of today's battle, they had already penetrated into the Liao army's formation for three miles, and had not yet encountered any resistance, and the only attack on the army came from a war horse that had gone mad......
"The power of artillery is so great!"
Wen Yanbo picked up a piece of gravel, weighed it in his hand, and threw it into the three-foot-deep pit and muttered to himself.
"Knowing that this thing is powerful, it is good to keep this secret, and it must not be obtained by outsiders, if you can maintain the weapon advantage for fifty years. The Great Song border will be safe for a hundred years. β
Yun Zheng lifted the cloak that was always windswept around his body, smiled teasingly at Wen Yanbo and went to the camp that Jiang Zhe had already placed.
"There was the spear first. Then there is the shield, this is a fundamental order, now I have the sharpest and most powerful spear in the world, so the first thing to do is not to let the enemy premature appearance in the hand of the shield that can prevent this spear. β
Wang Anshi just found a random place to facilitate it, and now he is wearing his belt.
Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "Brother Jiefu is also a great Confucian now, why are you acting as rude as those thugs?" β
Wang Anshi said with a smile: "You Heng appeared naked in front of people, you have praised it for thousands of years, the old man is just a solution, and it is a great unfilial piety to suffocate the body given by his parents." The old man thinks about the blood of his father and mother, how can he be rude? β
Wen Yanbo sighed and said: "A long time ago, the old man thought that the reason why the barbarians always passed through the Central Plains. They just want wealth and food.
Now when I come to the grassland, I understand the truth that one side of the water and soil raises the other side, and the old man looks at the endless grassland every day. You can only see the blue sky shrouded in the green grassland like a pot lid, and this kind of scenery will always make people go out to see the sky**.
Walk like this. I will come to the boundary of my Great Song Dynasty, and then I will see wealth and prosperity. It is logical that the idea of robbery arises.
There is only one person in heaven and earth, so naturally he will not take into account any human feelings and etiquette, just like you Wang Jiefu can solve it anywhere on the grassland, those ignorant barbarians will definitely think that this heaven and earth belong to him alone, and everything should be done. β
Wang Anshi laughed when he heard this: "If it is really as Brother Kuanfu said, those people in the Beijing should be sent to the grassland, and after living for a few more years, the heart of fame and fortune may slowly fade away." β
Wen Yanbo sneered: "Once Yanyundi belongs to the Great Song Dynasty, Brother Jiefu's wish will come true, and my Great Song Dynasty will be assigned to criminal officials in the future, and they will no longer be assigned to Lingnan, which is gradually becoming rich, but should be assigned here to reclaim the wasteland." β
Wang Anshi looked at Wen Yanbo and said suspiciously: "What's wrong with you lately, you seem to have changed your temper these days, you no longer stare at Yun Zheng stubbornly, and start to think about some real national affairs." β
Wen Yanbo's face was filled with a happy smile, pointing to the artillery that was being hurriedly placed and said, "Without him, only the artillery ears are found."
This thing is really a weapon of war, it is not an exaggeration to be called the god of the battlefield, its appearance directly will be complex and changeable war into extremely simple, from now on, strength will be the only test of a country's national defense combat strength standard.
If the walled city of the Great Song Dynasty is full of artillery, even Yun Zheng will not have the ability to run thousands of miles to the last drum down to Tokyo City! β
Wang Anshi laughed loudly, and finally covered his stomach and laughed even more unbearable, slowly falling to the ground with convulsions, laughing and bursting into tears.
Wen Yanbo said angrily: "Is the old man's words really so ridiculous? β
Wang Anshi finally stopped laughing, and simply sat on the ground and pointed at Wen Yanbo and said: "Kuanfu has served in Liangtai for many years, haven't you read Yun Zheng's "National Defense Shu" in Jiayou's three years?
In that letter, it systematically and completely described that once artillery and gunpowder weapons are used on a large scale, the country will no longer have a border town, and there will be no possibility of military rebellion in the DPRK and China.
Because the era of cold weapons that can turn the world upside down with a horse lance, an iron sword, and three inches of courage is over, from now on, as long as we scholars do not treat the people too harshly, then this dynasty can exist forever.
In this era, it is necessary to beware of the powerful civil ministers, not the military generals, because the civil servants can access any level of the imperial dynasty, while the military generals cannot.
If the dynasty takes control of the weapon workshop, even if the military commander can succeed for a while, once he runs out of ammunition and food, he will only have a dead end.
You are still thinking about how to limit the power of the generals here, but you don't know that Yun Zheng has already dug a huge pit for us to jump.
The era of military generals and disasters is over, so who is the next power group that should be weakened under the imperial power? It's not a scholarly class yet.
Taizu said that he shared the world with the scholars, this is just a sentence, the purpose is to use the ministers to clamp the generals, and now the generals no longer need to be clamped, can our scholars have the status of sharing the world with the emperor? β
Wen Yanbo was stunned and said: "The old man really hasn't seen the "National Defense Sparse", Brother Jiefu should know that the old man is very concerned about what Yun Zheng did, how could he be so negligent that he even turned a blind eye to such an important note?"
How did Brother Jiefu learn about the content of this recital? β
Wang Anshi was stunned for a moment and said: "The old man saw it in Yun Zheng's study, when the old man and Yun Zheng were discussing the pros and cons of the "Green Seedling Law", Yun Zheng took out this recital and showed it to me. β
Wen Yanbo slapped his thigh heavily and said: "This music must have been detained by the first emperor, Jiayou three years, Yun Zheng official to the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, the secretary of the military department, his performance does not need to go through the two and the center at all, it will be directly presented on His Majesty's table."
You tell the old man to think about it......"
Wang Anshi sneered and said, "What else do you want?" Your Majesty would have already begun to deprive us of our powers, and if it weren't for His Majesty's sudden illness, God knows what the situation would have been.
Didn't you find out? Has Your Majesty begun to strip the judicial power from us and other ministers?
In the past, the criminal officer in the criminal department was just a staff member under the rule of the state government, but now it is good, the criminal officer has begun to take charge of the prison, and even the edict prison is directly raised by the direct secretary cabinet.
You have had a smooth life in the past few years, but the old man has had a miserable life, riding a horse into the big inner to whip the eunuch so that the old man has suffered from the criminal officer, the old man has participated in the governor's affairs, and a six-grade criminal officer can go straight to the old man's middle hall, and ask the old man to know the laws of the Great Song Dynasty.
Hahaha, at that time, the old man thought that the princes of Yanyan in the court had forgotten or abandoned my Wang Anshi, it turned out that you didn't know, hahaha, I really laughed at the old man. β
"The six-rank criminal officer dares to go straight to your middle hall? Why have I never heard you talk about it? β
"Will you make the disgrace known to the world?"
"Did Pang Xiang ever know? Did Han Qi ever know? β
Wang Anshi looked at Wen Yanbo strangely and said with a malicious smile on his face: "What do you say? β
"Yes, everything can't be hidden from the center, Pang Xiang knows, Han Dazui may not know, why does Pang Xiang want to hide this change in the court?"
"What have you done as a high-ranking official over the years? Pang Xiang is seventy-five this year, and he has the merit of assisting the first emperor Kuang to help the world, and the merit of supporting the new emperor to ascend the throne, and the merit of recovering Yanyun is nothing to him.
In the near future, there will be an all-encompassing old man in my Great Song Dynasty, in this case, do you expect him to take a hundred officials to fight against the imperial power? (To be continued.) )
