There was the opening of the Zishui Stadium in front of the opening of the stadium, and the auction of the Ministry of Industry in the back, Yidu City was really not ordinary and lively these days, especially after the news that Emperor Mao De of Shu Song and his entourage had arrived in Jeju at the right time. The people of Yidu are even more hotly discussed.

The image of the great artist has once again been whipped and ridiculed by countless people, although people don't care at all.

Emperor Maode, that is, Zhao Fujin, who was only sixteen years old. As a concubine, entering the palace is not as huge as Fang Jinzhi's ceremony, in fact, except for the palace maids and maidservants who get more monthly money for a month, the only change in the Forbidden City is that the backyard is covered with red and painted for a day. It's just one day!

Zhao Fujin didn't even meet his ninth brother, but only saw a close attendant beside Zhao Jiu, and was sent into the cramped Forbidden City. However, Zhao Song's family envoy He Li proposed to meet Zhao Jiu'er.

He Li is the first Jinshi in Zhenghe in the fifth year, and the champion of Zhao Song. The secretary of the former official is the provincial school secretary, and in the following year, he was promoted to the Gyeonggi school office, and was promoted to the main guest outsider, and the living houser, and then moved to the middle school and the waiter. It can be said that it is deeply appreciated by great artists. A few years after the great artist's western tour, He Li's career was still smooth sailing, but the gold content of the official title was greatly discounted.

"So that Zhongcheng knows that the new dynasty really has nothing to do with the prince. It's just ......" The waiter showed an embarrassed look on his face, what else did He Li not understand? Isn't it just that he is under house arrest, and it is inconvenient to move around?

When he returned to his lodgings, he was still angry. The next day, he made a request to Song Qing to meet Zhao Jiu. Emperor Lu naturally reacted to this, and asked the holy hand scholar to imitate Zhao Jiu's handwriting and write a letter to He Li, but it was still not called to meet. He Li was extremely angry, but he was helpless.

For Zhao Jiu's handwriting, he naturally couldn't distinguish the truth from the fake, only knew that this county king had practiced Huang Tingjian's pen since he was a child, and it seemed that he believed in it and had good handwriting. You can take it back to Chengdu and hand it over to the great artist for inspection.

Emperor Lu also knew that he didn't let Zhao Gou show his face, and he couldn't say anything about it. But this Zhao Jiuren is already stupid, how can he really ask him to show up?

Originally, I wanted to rectify Zhao Jiu well, but this guy burned himself into a fool, so what is the use of torturing a fool? Not to mention the loss, Zhao Gou can't empathize, right?

Emperor Lu was ruthless in plucking birds, and just after receiving Zhao Fujin, he sent an edict downward. Then Zhao Jiu, it's better to burn it out.

This Zhao Jiumei is now a piece of chewing gum that has been chewed by others, and the feeling to Emperor Lu is only useless and disgusting. "Deal with the matter, Hugh will show the flaws."

He didn't bother to think about Zhao Jiu anymore, and left the matter to Zhu Gui. This also believes that Zhu Gui has the ability to smooth everything out.

In fact, Zhu Gui had indeed formulated a set of plans for this matter a long time ago. As soon as Emperor Lu gave the order, he made people ready. First, Honglu Temple delayed He Li, making the latter angry, and then he relented, and then Song Qing, an iron fan, led He Li to Zhao Jiu's secluded place to meet him.

As a result, He Li took a carriage out of the city and went twenty miles to the west, and arrived at the foot of the mountain and entered a manor. This place was named after the princes of the Yin Dynasty. The saga-lined stone peak forest rises from the top of the round mountain, and from a distance, it looks like an ancient castle standing on the top of the mountain. Exquisite and clear strange stones, caves of different shapes are all over the mountains and forests, it is like a huge bonsai stone, resting between heaven and earth.

Zhao Gou's location is at the bottom of the mountain in the manor, and the feng shui is good. Unfortunately, what He Li saw was a drunken and unconscious Zhao Jiu'er lying in the warm spring breeze.

It wasn't until dusk and sunset that Zhao Jiufang "woke up", and when he heard that He Li was visiting, he immediately ignored his weak legs and feet, and insisted on seeing He Li quickly, and the sound was so loud that it spread to the water pavilion outside. Then He Li was at the water pavilion, but when He Li saw Zhao Jiu, Zhao Jiuyi was excited to shake off the inner servant who was supporting, and strode forward, and as soon as his legs were weak, the person fell crooked into the pool next to him. The attendants and attendants who followed behind him naturally rushed down to save people, but when they rescued them, they had already filled their stomachs with water. Then under He Li's nose, there was a high fever, and the person was gone. [Originally, I wanted to pass Zhao Jiumei from another world, but then I thought about it, forget it, die early and live early, this chapter is over. In the future, let's polish the big artist and Zhao Huan. 】

……

Skip the matter of Yidu and talk about it, let's talk about the Liangshan Bo Gun Factory at this time. Officials of the Manufacturing Bureau have already received a lot of feedback from the Army and Navy.

The army generally recognizes the three-pound cannon and the tiger squat gun, which are light in weight and convenient for the army, so the army naturally has no opinion. They don't have much pressure to storm the city right now. But what about the sailor? From time to time, there was unsatisfactory feedback, thinking that the power of the three-catty cannon and the five-catty cannon was too small. It takes a lot of haircuts to turn a ship into a big coffin floating on the sea.

In fact, the navy is indeed suspected of carrying small cannons. At present, the generals of the sailors not only think that the caliber of the artillery is small, but they also think that their own gunboats are few, and they think that the big pie called the 'sail battleship' that Emperor Lu drew for them is slow to be made by the ship division.

However, the fact is that Meng Kang's hair is about to turn white.

Emperor Lu's 'sail battleship' is too different from China's shipbuilding skills at this time, even if he is a shipbuilding expert like Jade Banner Pole, looking at the base map, there is a feeling that a mouse pulls a turtle and has nowhere to start.

He had to build a model of the boat first, test it by the waves, and then start building a small sailing boat, slowly accumulating experience, so that he could play big.

If so, in order to cope with the urging and pressure of the sailor, Meng Kang could only be a turtle with a shrunken head. It's not uncommon to stay in the shipyard for months without going home.

And because the sail battleship was really difficult to build in a short time, he was forced to promise the sailors to build them a bigger ship, a ship bigger than the 5,000-material ship.

Now everyone knows about sea confrontations, and whoever has a bigger ship and more guns is more awesome. Just as the Army never gave advice to the Manufacturing Bureau, they also knew that the thicker and longer the barrel, the more powerful the artillery.

They can destroy the enemy with one shot, and they don't want to fire a second shot.

The sailor already has 5,000 materials in his hands, and he hopes to have 8,000 materials or 10,000 bigger blessing ships for him. Although they are not unaware, on the ocean today, the 2,000-material Fuchuan gunboat is the most cost-effective.

This is a bit like the third-class sail battleship in the history of European maritime hegemony, and the power of the second-class and first-class sail battleships in the heads-up must not be as good as that of the second- and first-class sail battleships. But the cost of one first-class sail battleship is enough to build three or four third-class sail battleships, and it is obviously the latter that is more practical.

But helplessly, San Ruan, Li Jun and others still yearn for bigger warships. Even because Emperor Lu said that Bagan had a lot of teak, and the latter was a good material for making warships, San Ruan sent someone to visit it early.

But when the news that the manufacturing bureau had finally developed a qualified musket reached the army, the army was not stable.

Many of the heavy generals of the Ma Bu Army have heard of the word musket, but they have never seen it with their own eyes, and they have heard of it to some extent. In the eyes of many heavy generals, muskets are artillery pieces that have been reduced countless times. In fact, this understanding is not wrong.

Today's smoothbore flintlock pistols have almost the same advantages and disadvantages as cannons.

The advantage is that it is powerful, and within thirty or fifty steps, the armor-piercing power is off the charts. Compared to the strong bow and crossbow, when shooting at close range, the power of the musket is violent!

However, it fires slowly and is dangerous, with a higher risk factor than a broken bowstring and pumping its face; The range is short and the accuracy is not high; It is also subject to weather restrictions, and rainy days can be greatly restricted.

Even if Emperor Lu asked the craftsmen to take one step in place, crossed the arquebus, and directly entered the era of flintlock pistols, but in the face of heavy rain, the muskets still had to be discontinued. He knew the fire cap gun, he knew the word fire cap, but he didn't know why, and it was a pipe dream to expect him to instruct people to invent the fire cap.

But the musket had many shortcomings, but none of them could hide its glittering brilliance.

Just say that it can make a person who has just held a musket for a day jump to death a hundred enemies with excellent martial arts with one shot, no matter how many flaws it has, it will also be valued by some generals in the Ma Bu army.

Not to mention, some of the bigwigs in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies also know about muskets, in addition to smoothbore guns, there are also rifled guns.

The latter has a much slower rate of fire than the former, but the latter has far more range and accuracy than the former. It's like a more powerful version of the Divine Arm Bow, but the cost is much cheaper than the Divine Arm Bow.

Like many people who first saw the power of cannons, the musket was a fledgling weapon, and it had a lot of room for improvement, but it was already too powerful for bows and crossbows.

As mentioned above, the Liao, Song, Xia and Jin periods were the last peak moments of China's heavy armored infantry cavalry. Every regime spared no expense in suppressing its own heavy armoured corps.

The heavy cavalry of the Khitan, Western Xia and Jurchen, the heavy armored infantry of the Zhao and Song dynasties......

In this era, in the face of the enemy's elite forces, everyone is faced with a common problem - how to penetrate the enemy's armor?

The strong bow and crossbow did not achieve very good results in the face of large-scale heavy armoured troops, and the collision of heavy armoured soldiers on both sides made the sword and gun take a back seat, and blunt weapons were popular in the army.

At such a time, Lu Qi's military suddenly saw that muskets were cheap to build and fast enough to make - compared to crossbows and weapons with good armor-piercing ability, no one would let go.

It's like the West in the canonical history. When the musket appeared, all forces relied on the musketeers to kill the knights who dealt with them, so the musket was once called a can opener.

Now that the first batch of 500 muskets has been sent to the Jeju Boot Camp, although the effect has not yet been seen, the bigwigs of the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces have already shouted for the Manufacturing Bureau to speed up.

This is not a need for war, but a habitual cry. But this has already made the manufacturing bureau consider whether to expand recruitment.

Yidu City, in the deduction room of the Wuluo Academy at this time, the deduction group that concentrated more than half of the essence of the Wuluo Academy was divided into small groups, and the teachers and students were all working hard.

Verification and derivation are repeatedly carried out on the sand table.

Guy is shouldering a daunting task on the shoulders of teachers and students. Emperor Lu asked them to deduce how to defend a stronghold and control a grassland with the least number of troops when equipped with guns and cannons on the road of grassland conquest in the future.

When it comes to this, many people may think of the fortress. It is indeed a bright and dazzling flower in human military science, but no matter how small the fortress is, the cost is huge, and the super huge amount of earthwork is something that Lu Qi does not need to bear now.

It must be clear that Emperor Lu wants to control the depths of the grassland, to build a fortress there, and to be able to do it.

Not to mention the cost, and it's very unnecessary!

The background to the birth of the Western Fortress was the fall of Constantinople. The Ottoman Turks proved with artillery that the old city defenses were useless in the face of artillery. No matter how strong your city defense is, the artillery can't hit one shot, and ten cannons can't hit a hundred cannons, but what about thousands of cannons? Dripping water through stones, you can always pry it open.

So, the West was born as a bastion. A means of defense that directly changed the military and politics of the West. Let's not mention this, just say that the current Emperor Lu doesn't need to consider the power of the cannon. The Qi army has cannons in the world, and the Mongols on the steppe are not even equipped with scimitar armor now, and they don't need to think about having large-scale heavy artillery for a hundred years.

In this case, there is no need for Emperor Lu, but the traditional block siege does not seem to be able to fully exert the defensive power of guns. Emperor Lu then handed over this problem to the staff officers of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, as well as the Wuluo Academy, China's first military academy.
