After sending everyone away, Zhao Fan sat alone in Ziwei Palace and pondered.

Did Zhao Fan ever think about being an emperor? Seriously, he never thought about it.

But if you want to ask him if he wants to be an emperor, well, this one, you can try it......

At least it sounded quite interesting, and from Zhao Fan's psychological level, he didn't feel that this thing was so difficult to accept, after all, he was now Tang Zhaozong.

If he just rejected everyone directly, then the hearts of the people he had so hard gathered together would soon disperse.

After all, the position of the vassals has been done, but his own positioning has not been done well, which is also a very troublesome thing, we work for you, but you have to tell us what our goal is, you can't just keep fighting for survival.

As a courtier, it is normal to hope that the character you follow is an aspiring and idealistic person.

And Qiao Xinchao's question of winning the championship is nothing more than out of disappointment with the dynasty, and the reason why the generals seconded it is also for their own reasons, for Scar and Beard, as long as it is the blood of the Li family, who is the emperor is not dang, and from the current situation, Zhao Fan is obviously more suitable and qualified than his cheap brother, for Zhao Wei and Xu Yong, it is completely out of recognition of Zhao Fan, and Ma Jianying, he also has his own ambition to make contributions.

So Zhao Fan gave them a thought, and this thought will gradually become the spiritual belief of the whole group, which is very beneficial to them.

From this moment on, Zhao Fan's small book has many more names, Qin Zongquan, Zhang Gui, Zhu Wen, Wang Chongying, Li Keyong, Yang Xingmi, Liu Shizheng......

Surrender or die, and the big drama will be changed......

……

"General Fu, the bracket of this Flying Fish crossbow is broken."

"General Fu, there are cracks in this armor, look at what's going on."

"Master, is there something wrong with the iron in the stove not burning red?"

"General Fu ......"

"General Fu ......"

In the weapon workshop that Qiao Xinchao had just established, the scene was in full swing, the sound of banging and banging was endless, and it was snowing heavily, but the people in the workshop were all wearing vests and working.

"Lord Wang, the workshop has now been basically established, including five hundred and forty blacksmiths, seven hundred carpenters, and a number of apprentices, according to the requirements of the prince, this side has been handed over to General Fu to take care of." At the door of the workshop, Qiao Xinchao was leading Zhao Fan to inspect the situation in the workshop, and introduced as he walked.

"Well, you ask General Fu to come over, and I'll talk to him." Zhao Fan took off his coat and said softly while handing it to Xu Yong beside him.

"Yes."

Qiao Xinchao responded, trotted for a while, and soon brought back a strong man with a Chinese face.

"Lord Wang, people have brought it."

"The last general will pay to celebrate the prince!" Fu Qinghe glanced at Zhao Fan gratefully and bowed respectfully.

Obviously, the official position of the guerrilla general that Zhao Fan rewarded him with is still very grateful, on the other hand, I have to say that people in this era are simple-hearted, and often if you are a little better to him, he will be loyal to you.

"No need to be polite, this ambush battle in the valley, thanks to General Fu's urgency and wisdom, actually blocked the valley mouth, so that the vicious battle turned into a victory, saving the lives of many soldiers and people in the Luoyang defenders, this battle of the general should be remembered, I would like to express my gratitude to the general on behalf of hundreds of thousands of people and many soldiers in Luoyang City!" Zhao Fan looked at Fu Qinghe, who was a little restrained, and said with a straight face, and bowed deeply to Fu Qinghe after speaking.

Fu Qinghe was stunned for a moment, his face was flushed, and he was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.

Qiao Xinchao on the side hurriedly kicked Fu Qinghe lightly and glanced at him.

Fu Qinghe, who reacted, hurriedly stepped forward, gently helped Zhao Fan up with both hands, and said in a somewhat choked voice, "It is the greatest honor of the last general to be able to serve the prince, the last general just did what he should do, the prince doesn't have to be like this, not to mention that the prince has already rewarded the last general?" ”

Zhao Fan straightened up, patted Fu Qinghe's shoulder, and didn't speak, in fact, he didn't know what to say.

"By the way, Lord Wang, didn't you say that you have something to find General Fu?" Qiao Xinchao is still very colorful, and he diverted the topic in time.

"That's right, by the way, General Fu, have you ever heard of gunpowder?" Zhao Fan glanced at Qiao Xinchao appreciatively, and asked Fu Qinghe.

"Gunpowder? What the prince is talking about is the thing that the alchemist has tinkered with and can burn quickly when it encounters fire? Fu Qinghe thought for a moment and asked with some doubts.

"Yes, yes, that's it! Gunpowder! Zhao Fan suddenly became excited, grabbed Fu Qinghe's hand excitedly and asked, "Does General Fu know how this gunpowder is configured?" ”

"This last general knows that two taels of sulfur, two taels of nitrate, and three and a half cents of aristolochia. The right is the end, mix well. Dig a pit and put the medicine in the tank and the ground. Fu Qinghe thought for a moment and said slowly, "But that thing is just stuffed into bamboo to make a firecracker or something, why is the prince asking this?" ”

"Firecrackers? No, no, no, gunpowder is very useful, can we make it now? Zhao Fan hurriedly asked.

"It's not a big problem, we have ready-made nitrate and sulfur, it's this aristolochia, I don't know if there is a pharmacy in the city." Fu Qinghe saw Zhao Fan's eagerness, so he didn't ask any more, but explained softly.

"I don't need this aristolochia, just replace it with charcoal that is completely burned through." Zhao Fan was stunned for a moment, although he didn't know how to make gunpowder, but he also knew that there were three components of nitrate, sulfur and carbon in it, and now there was an extra aristolochia, which must have replaced the role of carbon.

"As soon as you've finished making gunpowder, let me know, and you'll be busy first."

"Okay, the last general understands" Although Fu Qinghe was still unclear, he still nodded and accepted the task.

Zhao Fan looked at Fu Qinghe's departing back, and couldn't help but start to guess, this is gunpowder! Gunpowder that changed the situation of wars in the future! Recalling the blockbusters he watched in his previous life, machine guns, artillery, tank cars, Zhao Fan felt very excited when he thought about it.

Of course, Zhao Fan himself also knew in his heart that even if gunpowder was refined, it would not be of much use in a short period of time, and it was very easy to be imitated, after all, in this era, gunpowder had been invented, but it had not yet been used on the battlefield.

But Zhao Fan believes that as soon as he starts using firearms on a large scale, the use of firearms will soon become very common.

Therefore, if you want to create an advantage for yourself, you must completely defeat the enemy in the shortest possible time and end the war as soon as possible.
