Chapter 476

"What's going on......" Su Dongpo looked at the front and back with a confused expression, and the members of the Shu Party around him were also confused.

And over there, Liu Zhi was talking eloquently. “…… Therefore, Mr. Su can take the initiative to stand up, which is really admirable to the old minister, if the old minister can be twenty years younger, he will definitely not be willing to be left behind, and he will ask for his life. ”

Zhao Xu sat behind his imperial case in a daze, looking at the court where the situation was not much different from yesterday, everyone agreed that this move in Suide City by Western Xia was simply Chiguo's provocation of the authority of the Great Song Dynasty, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he must teach Xixia a lesson ruthlessly.

And Su Dongpo jumped out, and made a very impassioned speech, and finally asked for help, hoping to follow the example of the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty, and lead the army to crusade against the unrighteous division of Western Xia as a civil minister.

And then...... Countless important ministers of the old party jumped out one after another, expressing their reverence and praise for Bachelor Su's behavior, and also believed that today's Great Song Dynasty, except for Bachelor Su, who has been famous for decades and is known to everyone in the world, there is really no one who can take on this important responsibility.

Su Dongpo was really confused at the moment, just let go of himself, as usual, and then Shi Shiran just stayed in his position.

After all, he knows very well that those people in the old party will definitely not want to show off any more of them, and they will definitely jump out against him, or they will volunteer or something.

But today's old party is still the same as yesterday, as if someone has turned the wrong switch, and no one jumped out to have any dissatisfaction with Su's request to lead troops to defeat Western Xia, but agreed one-sidedly.

"Is there a deception here?" Lu Tao was muttering quietly to another Shu Party official.

"However, this is definitely a good thing for Mr., with Mr.'s material, if you go to crusade against the small country of Western Xia, there should be no problem."

"Don't underestimate the Xixia Xiaoxiao, when you want to be the emperor, my Song Dynasty 500,000 troops attacked the summer, but in the end they ended up with a defeat in Yongle City, and the loss of troops will end up in 100,000 yuan......"

"It would be better if Mr. stayed in Bianliang, if he went here, the war would be slightly defeated, and he would be attacked by those people, and at that time, his reputation would be damaged......

Listening to the whispered discussion behind him, Su Dongpo couldn't help but be a little confused, to be honest, he really wanted to follow the precedent of Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and other literati leading the troops, and go to clean up those disobedient Western Xia and Northern Liao people.

But at the same time, although Su Dongpo is also familiar with the art of war, the problem is that those things are all on paper, and he has never been in contact with military affairs at all.

Even if he was relegated to Huangzhou and worked as a regimental training envoy, the problem is that he is just a soldier, and there is no need to march and fight at all.

Just when Su Dongpo didn't know what to do, over there, the Empress Dowager Gao Tao rubbed her eyebrows, which had been wrinkled for too long, and was already sour, and asked Su Dongpo gently. "Su Qingjia, what do you think of yourself?"

People live with a face, trees live with a skin, and if you say it yourself, you can't swallow it all back, not to mention, whether it is Fan Xiang or Han Xiang, who is born to command the battle?

Thinking of this, Su Dongpo's heart was horizontal, and he strode out of the crowd. "Please also ask Niangniang to fulfill the heart of Weichen to serve the country with his fist."

Gao Taotao looked at Su Dongpo, who was standing in the main hall and impassioned, and was quite moved and appreciative in his heart. But the problem is that Su Dongpo has never experienced a war after all, so is it really good to appoint him over like this?

Just when Gao Tao was hesitating, suddenly a eunuch walked into the hall and rushed to Gao Tao's side and whispered.

Gao Tao stood up in disbelief. "What you say is true?!"

"Niangniang, how dare the slave dare to joke with Niangniang with such a big event." The eunuch startled Gao Tao's abrupt tone, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.

And the court, which was originally full of whispers, was instantly deserted, and many people were curious, what happened to the Empress Dowager, could it be that there was some bad news from the north that shocked the Empress Dowager.

Just when everyone closed their mouths and listened to the news, they heard Gao Taotao's voice again, which seemed to be a little uncontrollable. "Let them in, quick!"

This sentence made everyone confused, and subconsciously looked outside the court, and soon, Lord Lu, the secretary of the ordnance, Wang Yang, the superintendent of the ordnance, and the two green-robed petty officials who didn't know appeared in everyone's sight.

Damn, that kid can't have done anything again, right? In an instant, everyone subconsciously lay down in a big groove. And Zhao Xu stretched his neck even more curiously, only then did he notice that in addition to the four people in this group, there were also two forbidden soldiers who were accompanied, and the important thing was that these two forbidden soldiers each held a god arm crossbow that seemed to be slightly different from what they usually saw.

"Respectful Niangniang, respectful Your Majesty, my ordnance supervisor Cheng Xiaowang researched and developed overnight, and produced two Yuanyou crossbows, which were specially presented to the imperial ......"

"Yuan Yu crossbow, what the hell is this?"

"Yuan You, it's Yuan You again, this bastard boy surnamed Wang is doing something again?"

Just when the ministers were talking about it, the high-pitched voice sounded again. "Lu Qingjia, you can tell your ministers about this kind of Yuan You crossbow."

"Back to Niangniang, it's better to be said by Wang Wushan, the inventor of the Yuanyou crossbow." Lord Lu thought about it and decided that it would be better to let Wuyang jump out on his own.

#####

When Wang Yang stood up, he picked up one of the crossbow arms with a silver shining Yuan You crossbow, and told the ministers present that the crossbow arm of this thing was made of mild steel, and the production was extremely simple, and the important thing was that its body was not inferior to the divine arm crossbow, and there was still a great possibility of improvement.

Above the court, there was once again an uproar. Zhao Xu, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, couldn't help but leave the imperial case and came to Wang Yang, picked up a Yuanyou crossbow and looked at it.

“…… You should all know very well that the system of this crossbow arm is extremely difficult, and it needs to be made with six materials, six glues, and four seasons, one to two years. ”

"Now, with just a crossbow arm made of mild steel, you can get the range and lethality of a god's arm crossbow. The important thing is that the crossbow arm of a god arm crossbow takes nearly two years, and the cost has reached five times. ”

"And the steel crossbow arm of Yuan You's crossbow, from smelting, pouring, to punching and forming, it takes less than three hours, and the cost is not even more than three hundred yuan......"

“…… Wushan, are you saying that the crossbow arm of this steel crossbow only costs three hundred dollars? And its range and lethality are not inferior to the Divine Arm Crossbow? Rao is Zhao Xu's heart is strong, and at this moment, he also feels that his little heart is beating wildly in his chest.
