"Boom Boom Boom~" outside the city artillery test site, several newly developed artillery guns roared in unison, making the earth tremble, and the distant target of the earthen wall was also shattered, several test artillery craftsmen also cheered loudly, this new cannon not only shot far, and the accuracy has also been greatly improved, now the trial production is successful, after reporting to the imperial court, there will definitely be a generous gift, maybe you can get the official body in one fell swoop, and earn a future for your children.

Li Zhang looked at Yelu Renxian next to him with a smile at this time, only to see Yelu Renxian squinting his eyes at this time, although his expression seemed to be calm, but his eyes flashed with a somewhat complicated look, he had already seen the power of artillery, and there were countless Liao troops who died under the muzzle of the cannon in Gubeikou back then, but he hadn't seen it for a few years, and the artillery power of the Great Song Dynasty seemed to be on a higher level, which made him also feel heavy in his heart.

"What does Brother Ren Xian think of the power of my Great Song's artillery?" Li Zhang smiled at the moment and asked Yelu Renxian, the alliance was still being discussed, and he was responsible for receiving Yelu Renxian, but Yelu Renxian actually asked to visit the firearms of the Great Song Dynasty, which Zhao Zhen also agreed, so Li Zhang took him here.

"The Great Song Dynasty has always been benevolent and righteous, but the artillery is extremely cruel, and the soldiers are all turned into pulp under one shot, doesn't the Great Song Dynasty think that this thing hurts the heavens and the peace?" Yeluren first glanced at Li Zhang lightly and asked.

"Tenwa?" Li Zhang looked at Yelu Renxian with a smile, and only after a moment did he speak, "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, all things are used as dogs, there is nothing good or bad in heaven, and naturally there is no harmony between heaven and nature, for my Great Song Dynasty, as long as I can ensure the safety of my Great Song Dynasty soldiers, what does it matter to me whether others live or die?" ”

Li Zhang's words can be described as naked cruelty, it is obvious that he is squeezing Yelu Renxian, but Ye Luren did not get angry after hearing it, but showed a silent expression, he is now more convinced that the reason why such a big change has taken place in the Great Song Dynasty must have a huge relationship with Li Zhang, because if he were another Great Song official, he would definitely not be able to say such a thing.

"Dingbei Hou, your artillery in the Great Song Dynasty is indeed sharp, but as far as I know, no matter what kind of firearms, they are all powered by gunpowder, I wonder if I can go to your gunpowder workshop to have a look, so that I can wait to open my eyes?" Yeluren spoke again quickly.

"I'm sorry, the gunpowder workshop is a forbidden place, and no one is allowed to approach it unless His Majesty nods!" Li Zhang shook his head without hesitation and refused.

"But His Majesty has agreed to let us visit the firearms of the Great Song Dynasty before." Yeluren first heard Li Zhang's refusal and argued with some eagerness.

"Your Majesty just agreed to let you see firearms, not gunpowder, there is a world of difference between the two, Brother Renxian, don't be mistaken!" Li Zhang replied quite calmly, where would he not know Yelu Renxian's thoughts, but gunpowder is very important, and the formula is the most important, and it will never be allowed to circulate, so the gunpowder workshop is also heavily guarded, even Li Zhang is not easy to enter, let alone an envoy from an enemy country like Yelu Renxian.

Seeing Li Zhang's attitude so tough, Yelu Renxian also knew that his plan was probably going to fail, but he did not give up, but proposed to see the musket, which Li Zhang did not refuse, and immediately arranged for someone to bring some muskets, in fact, the musket and the artillery workshop were one, and there was only a wall in the middle, so soon the musket was transferred, and Li Zhang also asked people to perform a three-stage shot.

There is no secrecy in the use of artillery and muskets, after all, these two firearms have been on the battlefield, and they have made great achievements, and even if the manufacturing method is circulated, as long as the gunpowder is in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, it is useless for others to get the manufacturing method.

Yeluren first looked at the familiar performance of the Great Song Dynasty craftsmen, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn, whether it was artillery or muskets, they all posed a huge threat to their Liao army, and now these two firearms are also sharper, if there is a war with the Song people in the future, I am afraid their losses will only be greater.

"Dingbei Hou, we are allies, so we should also communicate with each other, so I want to buy a batch of firearms from your Great Song Dynasty, the price is negotiable, I don't know what you think?" Yeluren thought about it for a long time, and finally said cheekily.

After hearing this, Li Zhang glanced up and down at Yelu Renxian, and then said with a dumb smile: "Brother Renxian is really good at laughing, how can a heavy weapon like a firearm be given to others?" ”

Yelu Renxian actually knew that the possibility of buying firearms was extremely small, so he was not surprised in the face of Li Zhang's refusal, but he quickly retreated and said: "If the firearms are not sold, can the weapons such as knives and guns be sold to us, now that I am in great shortage of weapons in Da Liao, even if I want to form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty to deal with the party together, I am afraid that I am powerless!" ”

"I'm afraid it's difficult in terms of weapons, but it's still possible to export some iron ingots, I'm afraid Brother Ren Xian will have to discuss with those ministers in the court, and I can't be the master." Li Zhang laughed again when he heard this.

In order to manufacture muskets and artillery, Li Zhang also presented a set of methods for smelting steel to the Great Song Dynasty, which made the steel smelting technology of the Great Song Dynasty advance by leaps and bounds, not only the quality of steel was greatly improved, but the output also doubled, making the domestic steel prices plummet, so it was nothing to export some to Liao, and even hit the smelting industry of Liao.

Yeluren first heard that Li Zhang agreed to export some iron ingots, which made him also overjoyed, after all, with iron ingots can build weapons, with weapons can expand the army, and now the Liao State is full of internal contradictions, only a strong army can suppress those forces in the country that are ready to move.

"Great, with the words of Dingbei Hou, I am also relieved, the alliance between the two countries this time is of great significance, and the people of the two countries will also enjoy eternal peace because of this!" Yeluren immediately said a few good words, originally he was against this alliance, but if he could import some steel from the Great Song Dynasty, it would be able to solve some urgent needs.

After visiting the firearms, Li Zhang took Yeluren back to the city first, originally he wanted to send the other party back to the post house, but Yeluren first proposed to go around the capital, Li Zhang, as a landlord, could only accompany him.

Although Yelu Renxian has been in the capital for a while, he usually has to discuss the alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, and most of the time he can only stay in the post house, and he has no time to go out, but he just took a few glances when he entered the city, and now he finally has time to carefully appreciate the beautiful scenery of this Great Song Dynasty capital.
