Zhao Zhen's team has changed from three to five, and Di Qing and Yang Huaiyu, as generals in the army, certainly need to understand advanced weapons and equipment.

In terms of physical fitness, Zhao Zhen felt that the farming civilization of the Central Plains Dynasty was still not as good as the nomads who rode on horseback all day, and from food intake to daily exercise, it was still slightly weaker in comparison.

Under Zhao Zhen's strict regulations, all products of the Armaments Department and the Armaments Division must be kept secret, and no one is allowed to publish books and pass them on, and the research results can only be kept secret in the forbidden Chongwen Academy.

This made many courtiers and craftsmen not understand, in their opinion that it was a matter of course to have new achievements and then write books and speak, so as to preserve future generations, but they did not know that a collection of poems was published in the city of Tokyo today, and within three days it would become the focus of discussion after tea and dinner in Shangjing in Liao Kingdom.

The Liao people have long been envious of the culture of the Central Plains Dynasty, and the inertia of history once again proves that the nomads will always be attracted by the culture of the Central Plains Dynasty, and the reason why the Liao Dynasty was recognized by the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty is not only because they founded the country before the Great Song Dynasty, but more importantly, the Liao people respect Confucius and take Confucianism as the leading ideology of governing the country.

At the beginning of the Liao Dynasty, Yelu Abaoji will choose those who have great merits in history to enshrine, and the prince thinks: "The great sage of Confucius, respected by all generations, should be the first." In the third year of the god book, the Confucius Temple was built in Shangjing, and the following year Abaoji personally worshipped.

This is almost exactly the same as the memorial ceremony of the Han people, not only to maintain the rule of the Liao Dynasty, but also a kind of respect for Han culture.

Existence is reasonable, Confucianism can withstand the test of thousands of years must have its superiority and stability, even if the four olds were broken back then, Confucianism was not cleaned up, let alone the feudal dynasty?

Zhao Zhen has studied this opium-like Confucianism in depth, in the eyes of Wang Yuyan, the queen of a country, his behavior is purely to eat and have nothing to do, the thought of Confucius Sage is the Great Dao, since it is the Great Dao, what else needs to be studied, follow it directly!

The most puzzling thing for Zhao Zhen is Yang Caiwei, who is a party member, she actually supports the way of Confucius and Mencius, in her opinion, the reason why the Han dynasty is more stable than the party is that it follows Confucianism.

Vera looked at the two of them with envy on her face, and at the same time reached out and pinched Duo Fidelity with disdain.

Obviously, the women in Zhao Zhen's harem only had Duo Baozhen to scoff at Confucianism, and in her words: "This kind of innate knowledge that divides people into three, six, nine, and so on is wrong in itself." ”

In the eyes of Wang Yuyan and Yang Caiwei, this is a barbaric Yidi thought, but Zhao Zhen deeply believes that because everyone in the world should be equal, they should not use the amount of knowledge to distinguish the nobility of personality.

What he is most afraid of now is Cheng Zhu Lixue's persecution of the Great Song Dynasty, and the custom of binding small feet has begun to appear, and Zhao Zhen has to guard against it.

There has been a saying in the palace that foot binding is beautiful, Zhao Zhen strongly opposes this, and Wang Yuyan, who is the mother of the middle palace, is also quite repulsive, what face does a woman have when she breaks her feet?

But I don't know who linked foot binding with Confucianism, Wang Yuyan and others didn't say much, but pretended not to see it, anyway, she herself would never bind her feet.

The edict outside the palace, after the lady entered the palace, always mentioned the matter of foot binding, and every time she talked about it, Wang Yuyan said: "Women bind their feet, children are four or five years old, innocent and innocent, and suffer infinite suffering, and they don't know what the use of entanglement is small?" "Send it away.

Everyone knows that foot binding is not good, and a pair of delicate little feet can always make people feel beautiful, right?

Zhao Zhen greatly appreciated Wang Yuyan's understanding.

I don't know who pushed it, but now the learning of the Great Song Dynasty has become a little deformed, and the Gewu Yi presided over by Zhao Zhen himself has been denounced as a strange skill and indecent, and the orthodox Confucian doctrine has also been tampered with and has become more and more dogmatic.

This is the last thing Zhao Zhen wants to see, the more dogmatic Confucianism is, the more it will imprison people, and all the words of the sages will be the most difficult to shake once they become dogmas, because no matter what you do, as long as you violate the dogma or have something different, it will be wrong.

It is wrong that the earth is round, that the sky is vast, that it is wrong, and that things can improve people's lives......

Dogmatic Confucianism is like a chain, firmly entangled the giant of the Great Song Dynasty. Compared with women's foot binding, binding Da Song's foot is the most terrifying thing.

What Zhao Zhen has to do now is to ensure that the Fengqiu military camp will not be infiltrated by this kind of thinking, the Armaments Department and the Armaments Division are the two major scientific research bases of the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Zhen will not let the decadent thoughts penetrate in no matter what, and destroy the development of Gewu.

The Armament Division, the Armament Division, and the Military Arsenal are the three most important departments of the Great Song Dynasty on the Yishan Mountain in the Fengqiu Gate.

Although in the heavily guarded Fengqiu Gate, the defense of the Armaments Division and the Armament Division is still comparable to the ban, for the safety of the military science and technology of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen did not hesitate to arrange the elite in the hands of the black here, the military advantage of the Great Song Dynasty is still reflected in science and technology in the final analysis, and this military technology is also part of the national strength.

Compared with the barracks under the mountain, the defense on the mountain is more strict, all kinds of crossbow arrows are ready to be fired at any time, the eight-bull crossbow that is as fierce as a fierce beast is easily filled under the action of the ratchet, and the rare smoothbore gun is one in each hand here.

The small smoothbore gun was originally looked down upon by Peng Qi and others, mainly because it was expensive to build, and at the same time, the accuracy and range were not as high as the crossbow arrows, and his smoke would also obstruct his vision on the battlefield.

But Ding Du of the Armaments Department was particularly interested in this gunpowder-powered weapon, and when he saw Zhao Zhen's continuous test-firing of a smoothbore gun, he blushed and handed over one: "Your Majesty loves this thing very much, and the minister has improved it a little, please try it......

Zhao Zhen saw that the gun in his hand was no different from an ordinary smoothbore gun, so he casually raised a shot, the trigger was pulled, the machine sounded, and the flint struck the side of the fire door in a graceful arc, and before Zhao Zhen could react, the gunpowder quickly ignited and excited the warhead.

The speed of this flintlock pistol was far faster than Zhao Zhen imagined, and the bullet flew out almost the moment the trigger was pressed, and the accuracy was also quite high, Di Qing and Yang Huaiyu on the side were dumbfounded.

Because the bullet of this gun pierced the plate armor a hundred meters away!

Zhao Zhen dragged Ding Du and said, "Why is this gun so much better than an ordinary flintlock pistol?" ”

Ding Du took the exquisite musket and wiped it quickly and skillfully, and after the long putter cleaned the chamber, he said: "Qiguan Jia, thanks to Zeng Gongliang's design, he changed the warhead of the flintlock pistol, using the method of blowing arrows by the natives, the lead bullet expands rapidly under the impetus of gunpowder, so that the barrel can be closed, so that the power of gunpowder can be fully exerted, and the spiral pattern on the bullet also makes the bullet more stable in flight." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Ding Du in surprise and said, "Wasn't Zeng Gongliang relegated to the forging factory to make iron?" ”

Ding Du said embarrassedly: "He inadvertently chatted with a native craftsman when he was making iron, and he was suddenly inspired by ......."

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, no wonder Zeng Gongliang, this kid can think of using lead as a warhead, his chemical experiments are inseparable from the help of lead, Zeng Gongliang, who is in the forge factory, knows the nature of lead best, Zhao Zhen feels that he is not suitable to be an official, but more suitable to be a scientist.

Ding Du also knew how to use his new invention to his liking, while Zeng Gongliang himself invented the later Mini warhead but did not know words, which shows the gap between the two in the official road.
