The local government, the vicious criminals, local ruffians, gangsters, and other soldiers who had to be urgently recruited after the defection of the garrison, the officials naturally did not dare to arm these people.

Only the former officers and soldiers of the villains who are not qualified to defect have weapons, plus the thugs who contributed by the wealthy families to defend the city have their own weapons.

This was the fundamental armed force on which the official response to the migration frenzy depended at the time.

Other recruits need to undergo drill training first, and they dare to issue weapons when they are honest, but they don't have serious weapons, and they can only act as auxiliary troops and use sticks as a combat support.

Fortunately, thanks to the defection frenzy in a hurry to grab the well-robbed countryside and county seats, and did not have the heart to waste time and life on attacking the fortified state capitals, most of the state capitals escaped the catastrophe.

The reason why the new army was able to forcibly recruit gang members to serve honestly was because the local gangs may be outnumbered, but there are not many serious weapons.

After all, the local government can turn a blind eye to the existence of gangsters for the benefit of filial piety or something, but it is also impossible to allow these gangster organizations to privately possess and assemble a large number of serious weapons, threatening local security and the lives of officials and gentlemen.

Especially after Zhao Yue led the robber army to make trouble in Shandong and slaughtered many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it really frightened too many officials and rich gentry in the Great Song Dynasty, causing a high degree of vigilance among the officials and governments across the country.

This causes many members of the gang forces to act arrogantly, but only a small number of elite gangs in the core secretly hide knives or something under the secret permission of the officials.

The other gangs are nothing more than armed with sharp knives and forks to defend themselves, and they fight in groups with sticks that the government does not care about, not the steel pipe machete like the old boy in the movie, which can be greeted with a strong flash.

Constrained by the guidance and monitoring of the defectors and the restrictions on the conditions for defection, the defectors did not dare to take the opportunity to do evil on a large scale, so they could only focus on killing and robbing the villains, officials, and big households, including gangsters.

The powerful gangs also lacked weapons to confront the army composed of fierce officers and soldiers and powerful thugs, so they could only surrender to the government, and they were willing to obey the government's dispatch and be honest soldiers to defend the city, but also because they were also facing the terrible threat of the immigration frenzy, so they had to honestly work closely with the local government to work together to defend the city and their lives.

Objectively, the mining capacity and metal smelting weapons manufacturing conditions in this era could not support the convenience of a gang composed of ordinary people to have serious sword weapons at will.

Historically, Fang La rebelled and secretly prepared for so long, and when the incident really started, there were not many subordinates who were equipped with serious weapons, and the main force was still farm tools, and the weapons relied on robbing officers and soldiers.

Zhao Yue intended to enhance the economic strength of the Great Song Dynasty, improve the production and supply capacity of grain, meat, including fruits and aquatic products, and improve the cultural popularization rate, medical level, cement, etc., but he did not let his family provide metal smelting and manufacturing technology to the imperial court, nor did he provide any advanced methods, so he did not touch this aspect at all.

Because this is the most fatal thing to commit a taboo.

If the Cangzhao family also had a trick and strong production capacity in weapon manufacturing, then the imperial court would not be at ease, and would never allow Zhao Zhuang to make a fortune and continue to exist leisurely.

Zhao Yue's willingness to generously help the Song State is to enhance the Song State's strength, reduce the pressure of foreign threats, increase the status and security of the family in the Song State, obtain sufficient development convenience and time, and at the same time vigorously solve the people's suffering, improve the physical and cultural quality of the people, enhance the self-confidence and pride of some nationalities, and ensure the success rate of immigration.

Otherwise, the timid little body of the Song people who could not eat enough meat would not be able to withstand the long journey, the wind and waves on the ship, and the geographical climate of South Asia that they did not adapt to.

In addition, the main reasons why Zhao Yue did not give smelting technology were:

He knew very well that if the advanced technology was obtained by some powerful private person, it was very likely to be regarded as a stunt to make a unique fortune and kept it strictly secret, but once it was dedicated to the imperial court, it fell into the public interest of the imperial court, and the imperial court could use it to greatly strengthen the production capacity of armaments and improve the sophistication of weapons, but it would certainly soon flow abroad, and the selfish interests of a certain bureaucrat or some bureaucrats in exchange for a little money would ignore the security of the country. The enemy will become more and more powerful and difficult to defeat, and can slaughter the Song army with better weapons and more powerful equipment, oppress and plunder the Song state.

There is no doubt about it.

Many bureaucrats, including scholars and doctors who usually talk about the overall situation of being loyal to the monarch, patriotism, and defending the people, and what gentlemen do and what courtiers do their duties, there is no most shameless and no lower limit, only more shameless and no lower limit, for the sake of selfish desires, for the sake of their own little benefits, for the sake of "Sino-foreign friendship" can sell anything, and can do all kinds of disgusting and absurd things.

They were even able to use various high-sounding excuses to persuade the emperor himself to agree to betray the stunt of Zhenguo, and to obtain personal gain and so-called friendship from it openly.

Strange silver skills are just a cheap evil magic trail,

It's not a statecraft like Confucian academics, our Great Song Dynasty's statecraft can allow foreign countries to learn to their heart's content, what is there to hide a little smelting skill?

Selling some money, or even giving a part of the tribute to the poor and backward enemy country "Xia Bang", is not a ridiculous thing that the snot Song court could not do.

The Song royal family, even his wife and daughter's mother can take the initiative to give Jin Bing to abuse and abuse at will, and let the enemy humiliate him, what else can the royal family not do?

Zhao Ji is a soft egg at least soft-eared and unintimidated, especially afraid of the enemy country, afraid of offending the enemy country, and it is easy for officials to collude with the enemy country to pinch the weakness and scare him to take the initiative to agree.

As a result, many other industries in the Great Song Dynasty developed rapidly, but there was no major change in the smelting and manufacturing of weapons, and it was still primitive and backward at that time.

The government and the opposition suffered heavy losses in weapons and equipment and official technical personnel, and the imperial court was terrified, but it had not lost confidence and confidence, and consciously had a way to crack it.

If there is no one in the mine, the people can be requisitioned to mine. This one is best solved.

Tokyo's official craftsmen are gone, but aren't there still local ones?

Folk craftsmen are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Can we also recruit talents from the people, from the workshops of local armies such as the Western Army and the Northern Army?

Even if the officials who will be in charge of the prison do not understand the profound technology, this is what they can manage, what they can watch all day long is how to produce, understand the production process and process, and can organize low-level craftsmen to improve their ability to learn the technology of the official workshop.

They did the same.

However, the man who struck iron did not have the courage to flee with the defection frenzy. Even if there are bad blacksmiths in the people who can't defect to the pirates, there aren't many of them.

Those officials who will be imprisoned and who have not run away are not patriotic and loyal to the monarch and refuse to defect,

There are such conscientious officials who must love technical work, and are willing to work on the spot all day long, trying to develop technology, want to work hard for the country, and at the same time exchange credit for themselves.

The rest did not die in the slaughter and revenge of defection, it must be that they rarely go to the workshop to inspect tiredly, hide in an unknown place all day long and enjoy life, all the officials who only know how to be an official and enjoy the benefits and pleasures, only know a little about the process, and generally know a little about what is the matter, what kind of technology can such a manager teach new craftsmen?

It's just that the task of the imperial court has been pressed down, and these rotten officials who lie on the craftsmen to suck blood and take credit, are now bitter and unlucky.

I can only desperately recall the process and desperately study the cheap toys that they didn't care about before. Otherwise, they will not be able to complete the task, and let the court know that they are just a bunch of straw bale waste who talk empty and brag, and their lives are in danger.

The Hebei army defected this time, and the ordinary people in the city ran away, so how could the hard-working craftsmen under them continue to suffer from the official slaves of the lowly craftsmen, so they naturally ran away.

The only place that the imperial court can count on the most is the Western Army.

But how could the Western Army easily agree to let their children and craftsmen go to the capital to serve.

Perfunctory, some consume.

How to reorganize the Tokyo weapons manufacturing plant, in short, some powerful ministers are worried.

Tokyo's new Gangster Forbidden Army, like the local gangster gangsters, was too short of weapons to fight the army, and was easily conquered by the Forbidden Army, despite being outnumbered.

Naturally, the management of law and order in the capital is stricter than that in the localities. It is more difficult for villains and gangsters to equip them with serious weapons, and now they are not equipped with weapons in the whole training.

The arsenal of the capital also has guns and other weapons that cost less than iron, but are also easily damaged, and the most are made, but it is enough to distribute them all to the 200,000 new forbidden troops. But after the whole training, I felt that the villains were honest and willing to eat military meals and serve the imperial court to fight for a future, and Tokyo didn't dare to rest assured that these villains would be assembled, so they could only arrange to use sticks for the veterans as auxiliaries.

The Beijing army is still like this, and at the same time, the guys who were arrested from the capital and forcibly organized into an army and sent to the local army on the coastal coast have no serious weapons, so they can only mix with the veterans.

That is, if the pirates don't come to fight, Fang La doesn't have the strength to rebel, and he doesn't dare to rebel when he is pressed by the pirates, so these new formations can guard the place.

The dismantling army that was urgently transferred to Hebei West Road to replenish the border pass also lacked serious weapons to resist, and was empty-handed during the training, fearing that it would be wiped out by the imperial court, so he honestly went to the border pass.

However, a large number of weapons stored at the border pass of Hebei West Road, those swords and other weapons that are better for killing people with iron have also been swept away by the rebels.

At present, the most fatal thing for the imperial court is the new army at the border gate, which does not have so many weapons and armor assembly, and needs to be armed quickly.

A knife can kill, and a stick can kill people, but it's different.

In the fight between individuals, there is little difference between making a stick or a knife, and the key depends on the level of individual martial arts. The ability is high, and it is not a matter of bare hands.

However, the group war between armies is not an individual battle, but can be fought by one person to the end, facing a group of people, paying attention to the speed and effect of saving effort and killing the enemy, and the knife can do it.

You can't let the border pass lack knives and axes, and when the enemy comes, let the soldiers only use guns or even clubs to fight.

These new armies are not good things in the first place, they are selfish and shameless, greedy for life and afraid of death, countryless and unjust, and they are already unusable.

When the time comes, it will be strange not to flee and even surrender collectively to Liaokou.

Under normal circumstances, each soldier has a reserve of knives at the border gates, and the average manpower is at least two, and one can be replaced at any time if it is broken and blunt in wartime. It can't be that Zhenghongyan is fighting desperately, the knife is broken, the knife is useless, and it is dispatched by the imperial court.

That would be a joke. By the time Baba is sent now, the battle is over, and all the people will have died.

Now, the conditions do not allow a border soldier to allocate two or three knives, so let's try to ensure that everyone can use a knife to ensure that the knife soldier can be used.

But where can you get tens of thousands of sharp weapons like knives and axes with the lowest configuration?

In the summer, most of the officers and soldiers of Hejian Prefecture were also taken away with the pirates, and among the weapons and equipment, Tieduo's weapons were also swept away, supplementing the rotten men made by Zheng Juzhong as the new army, and the border army weapons to be stockpiled were still urgently drawn and pieced together from local government offices with large weapons stocks such as the Daimyofu in the interior, and they have not dared to distribute them so far.

Hejian Mansion now doesn't have to worry about the lack of weapons when resisting the Liao Kou after the autumn.

But then there was a defection in these places of the Daimyo's Mansion, and the inventory was also swept away by the wave of defections.

In the chaos after the disaster, the imperial court was too busy to take care of everything, and it was too late and unable to quickly replenish weapons to these important inland state capitals, and now the arsenals of these government governments are also empty in terms of sharp weapons, and they have no ability to send them to urgently support the border gates.

The only option was to give priority to the few remaining knives in the capital's inventory to the Hebei West Road Border Army, and then find an excuse to draw some of them from the Western Army to make up for it.

No matter what, you have to let the swordsmen in the border army be able to have a knife in their hands.

At this time, even the forbidden army in the capital, which has always given priority to equipment, has to give in. Let the newly formed forbidden army be empty-handed, and make do with sticks when it is their turn to be on duty with the veterans.

The four military states in Cangbei, which were the first to make trouble and defect this time, are much better.

The rebels swept away the weapons at hand, the knives in the inventory were not so ruthless, and the Cangbei Army generally still had weapons that could be used to recruit new troops, at least the remaining troops had no problem with two knives.

That's great news.

Zhao Gonglian did not act, and was secretly reported to the imperial court by the officials in charge of monitoring, and even the emperor and the thieves hated it, but at the same time, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If you don't work hard, don't ask for a large number of knives to supplement equipment for the border passes, the pressure and embarrassment of the imperial court in this regard will be smaller, and inaction should be praised.

Otherwise, coupled with the lack of a large number of weapons in the Cangbei Army, in the face of Zhao Gonglian's strong demands and invisible ridicule: Look at you virtuous and capable ministers who govern the country, tsk, I really can't say anything. Do you still have the face to sit on that high position, calling me the prime minister, showing off your martial arts, and enjoying the hard-earned money and food of the people? The court had to die even more sorrowful and lose the dead.

Tsk, so there is no fixed benchmark for how people do their work and how well they do it, and they have to be determined and judged according to the situation, which is the conclusion of the situation.

Zhao Gonglian's inaction at this time is to perform reliably and well.

The same is true of being a human being.

usually does some bad things, his conduct is not very good, he is not a good person, but compared to a traitor who defects to the enemy and betrays the country, he is a good person.
