Song Shi Mingyue's fourth chapter of madness against the sky Chapter 4384 firearms

I was stunned for a long time. Slowly, he said, "Maybe someone is born to know it." Nor ......"

m paused for a moment. There was a look of remembrance on his face. Emperor Daojun did not urge him. It's been a long time. Mi pondered and replied, "When the minister came back from Japan. Chan lived in Liyuan for a while. I've seen the scenery of Liyuan. I have also seen Zhao Liren's daily life. I want to come. Perhaps Zhao Liren spends more time figuring out the minds of others than his ministers. ”

Looking at Emperor Daojun's puzzled expression. M paused slightly. Immediately explained: "In the opinion of the minister." Zhao Liren is an extremely lonely person. For several years. The minister had never heard that Zhao Liren had participated in any official banquets ....... This is also not true. He participated in the West Garden Meeting. Participated in the Zhangshui debate. Participated in numerous lectures on the winter solstice days in Quang Nam. On the surface. Zhao Liren seems to like to feast and drink. Because since he was lifted. It seems that the Great Song Fan is a well-known officialdom banquet. He exists.

But the minister thought. This is not all that Zhao Liren is. Think about it. In addition to these well-known Ya meetings. The minister had never heard of him participating in other official salaries. So. What is Zhao Liren doing the rest of the time?

Speaking of which. I kind of admire Zhao Liren. During his stay in Liyuan. Li Yuan sang constantly at four o'clock. It seems that the instrument is played from dawn. Until late at night. Then the lamp will fight again. However. Liyuan is noisy though. The minister has never seen Zhao Liren in those official salaries. At that time, the minister was thinking. When others drink and have fun. What is Zhao Liren doing?

A certain day. Excessive drinking. I was going to rest in the garden. but found it in the garden. The avenue of poetry was lit up. The minister rushed to the Avenue of Poetry drunk. Zhao Liren was found wandering alone on the avenue. There were only a few maids holding the lamps around. He had one in his hand. Pacing on the Avenue of Poetry. The mind is not on it. nor on the tablet at the feet.

Why stop me from moving forward. Ministers since. often looks for Zhao Liren's figure. One day, the minister suddenly deduced. At that time, the minister saw the generals conducting pre-war exercises. Suddenly realized.

It has long been rumored that Zhao Liren knows a secret technique. Be able to see the subtleties. Push the way things are going. The disciples of Jiangmen called this secret art "Wuhou Relic Learning". Cheng's disciples called it "logic". The people of Quang Nam call it "Zhixue".

Zhao Liren was reasoning. He wandered alone on the Avenue of Poetry. When others raise their glasses to invite the bright moon. He was thinking about the official family alone. The reason why the minister writes is outstanding. Without it. It's just that I put more effort into it than others. Consider pen and ink. I think the same is true for Zhao Liren. It took him the time for his ministers to think about carrying the pen. to deduce the principle of things and their development. In this regard. The minister is ashamed of himself. The minister thinks he is diligent. Dantomi while enjoying the gourmet Hime. Zhao Liren wandered alone. Thinking about the development of things.

The minister paid attention to it. More than a month later. Zhao Liren or wandered in the courtyard. Or be alone on the rooftop. He spends most of the day in his room. Flip through the various dossiers. Listen to the reports of your subordinates. Official. The food in Zhao Liren's house is famous. Tong Dage once said that the food in Cai Yuanchang's mansion was exquisite. Like no other in the world. However, it is better than the Chinese food of the Garden House. You can only describe ugliness in one word!

Let's not talk about food. Zhao Liren's mansion is also beautiful. There was Liao Xiaoxiao in front of him. Later, there is Yangzhou's popular Oiran and autumn. These people did their best. The heaven and earth that will dress up Liyuan. And the minister once saw that there were also carefully selected beauty from the vassal kingdoms in the Li Garden. It can be described as a wonderland of Yaochi.

It's all there. What a temptation. The minister is in the middle of it. I'm not bad. I've heard that Zong Ze has always been rigorous. Mr. Kameyama (Yang Shi) has always been square. Zhang Yi is old-fashioned. Wang Mingming...... But these people are completely oblivious. Enjoy. Du Zhao left people. He took care of it all. The minister had heard of it. Maiko music for every piece. Each dance was carefully choreographed by his hand. But after this man designed this beautiful dance. But it can be put down immediately. Just meditate alone. So much time to think. I want to come. He speculated on the evolution of things. It should be on par with the minister's writing and copywriting. It is also the first person in ancient and modern times. ”

When Mi said this. Wave the brush in your hand to strengthen your tone. The ink splashes from the brush are all in the house. Even Song Huizong's face was thrown with a ball of ink. But Mi didn't notice it. He danced with emotion. Intoxicated, he shouted: "I knew that Zhao Liren would be like this." Mr. Dongpo's lifelong knowledge is two words: giving. Zhao Liren is worthy of Mr. Dongpo's disciple. He picked it up and put it down. Everything is easy. In his opinion, the one who should give up is the one who should give up. There will not be a trace of nostalgia.

The wine and food house of the wind flower snow moon house. Take it one step further. He will become the first minister of power in the Song Dynasty. He still gave it up. I'm not as good as him. The minister's illness is reluctant. But the minister despised him. Wine and food are not tempted in front of you; High-ranking officials do not change color in front. Every day's mind is about building. Ponder some knowledge. Life out of interest. The word of the minister should be passed down for a hundred generations. A legacy through the ages. The knowledge that Zhao Liren pondered. Who knows how long it will last. Maybe it won't be long. Those learnings are outdated, as he himself said. ”

Mi is talking about Zhao Xing's negation of some ancient learning. The rise of Quang Nam New School. The Song people began to examine ancient studies more and more violently. A lot of learning from antiquity. In their opinion, it is already a mistake. The new scholarship completely negates it. Under this current of thought. Zhao Xing said "advancing with the times". It has fueled the fire. The Song people now really realize it. Knowledge must go hand in hand with productivity. in order to be in line with reality...... However. They don't know. Much of the knowledge of antiquity is a summary of empiricism. It fits in with the Bronze Age context. But the knowledge summed up by Zhao Xing is a system. It is not the result of experience. It's science.

This kind of learning will not become obsolete for at least a thousand years.

Guangzhou City. Zhan Fan and Zhou Wenzhi enjoyed the dance. By the way, I also let the autumn perform a song and dance. Wait until you are halfway drunk. The two of them took advantage of the drunkenness to inquire about Zhao Xinglai's purpose: "Tai Wei." To say the village elders' association. I was the first to establish Liangguang. And it's the most perfect. Nowadays, the villagers are based on the village. It is spread all over the districts of Guangzhou. The district of Dali is based on the unit of toast. Establish a system for the discussion of the elders of the township. The Captain inspected the Nanyang Affairs Bureau this time. Is it really here to check out the Liangguang Township Elders' Association? ”

Xing waved his hand. The maids retreated like a tide. In the hall, only the attendant Zhao Xing was left with Zhang Qing and Qiuri: "I'm here to delegate power...... To put it bluntly. The two districts of the sky are high and the emperor is far away. Move your troops. It would be four or five months before the imperial court would find out. That's huge

|。

You know that. The imperial court is now restricting me more and more. My soldiers and horses are cramped on Liangzhejiang Road. Every time you move. The officials were always shouting loudly. This phenomenon does not exist in Guangzhou. You move your troops. Wait for the court officials to know. It's time to change.

However. At present, the situation in Nanyang is not as calm as that of West Lake. We need to maintain military deterrence in the South Seas. In the West, in Arabia, constant pressure is required. Let them feel the presence of our artillery. These need to be done by Liangguang.

I always thought: who plows. Who harvests. The righteousness of the Scriptures. That's why I'm going to give you power this time. The population of Liangguangzhi has reached 10 million. Such a population. Coupled with the support of my Nanyang Affairs Bureau behind you. And the advanced weapons in your hands. It is believed that the operation of Nanyang with two broads. What should be done is to who plows. Who harvests. The two Guangxi cultivate the South Seas. The harvest is both wide. Don't say I'm eccentric. Leave all the benefits to Liangguang. This is the reward of the cultivator.

Go. As soon as the two Guangxi had the strength, they organized a fleet to go straight to the South Seas. It was originally a province of immigrants. There are more of the moved troops than you originally did in the two Guangzhous. Let them migrate a little more. It's not an exaggeration......

There is strength in the two Guangzhous. Even if you swallow the whole South Seas. I'm not against it either. There is no power. You can't eat it yourself. Isn't there still money? You can be human. Hire people from all over the world. I ask you to eat Nanyang as soon as possible. And then firmly stand on your feet......"

Xing is explaining. An officer hurried in. The low one said, "There is an emergency." There is news in the Bohai country. ”

The sky is high here in Guangzhou, and the emperor is far away. Zhao Xing also had no scruples. He greeted casually: "Shuai Fan, there's news there?" Report it! ”

The attendant handed over a letter. The letter had three chicken feathers taped to it. It means "very urgent". Zhao Xing opened the letter unconcernedly. I just glanced at it. Immediately shocked. blurted out: "What." The golden man actually has artillery! ”

Xing doesn't know. In the original history. The Jin people were even the first to use artillery technology on the battlefield before the Song people.

Real history. The Liao and Western Xia armies that fought against the Northern Song army were not good at attacking cities. They have few troops except for being able to break some of them. Outside a weakly garrisoned small walled city. to the strongly-fortified city. Often powerless. For example, Yang Yan guarded the Wei Army. Although "small unprepared". Because of the defense with heart. also finally made the Liao army retreat ("History of the Song Dynasty" 272 Yang Yan Biography)

The Jin army was different from the Liao army and the Western Xia army. I can hold a fierce siege battle. The Song people once wrote that "the Jin people fought in the field. longer than riding"; "The golden people are attacking the city. better than using a cannon". Then. The siege equipment of the Jin army included fire ladders, cloud ladders, side bridges, goose cars, cave houses, and so on. But the most powerful thing is the stone cannon. The second attack is opened. "There are more than 200 cannons under the city." "Flying rocks hit like rain". "And with artillery" (Hui Ed., vol. 66. Volume 68.

It can be seen from this. History as it is known to modern people has been deliberately falsified and embellished. Real history. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was not by rudimentary weapons that the Song army was defeated. They had already learned to use gunpowder weapons. By the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty. The firearms of the Jin Dynasty were more developed. For example, during the Song Ningzong period, the Jin people attacked Qizhou. Iron artillery was also used. "Every cannon is followed by iron artillery. Its sound is like a thunderbolt" ("Xin Si Weeping Qi Lu").

How did the Jin people steal gunpowder technology from the Great Song Dynasty? And then apply it to the battlefield. This is a historical mystery. Modern people guess. It may be a Han Taoist who likes to tinker with alchemy. Artillery technology was passed on to the Jin people; It may be that after the Jin people annexed the Bohai Kingdom. When the Han Taoist priest dedicated this secret to the Jin people to invite pets.

Other words. In real history. The Song-Jin War came to an end. The Jin people are no longer inferior in weapons. It even has some advantages. The Great Song Dynasty was confined to party strife at that time. Members of the New Party oppose everything that does not fit their own party. Even gunpowder technology, which is not part of its own party. This made the Song people the first to use firearms in warfare. But then there was no innovation.

But Zhao Xing didn't know this. He was stunned for a moment. I really can't think of how artillery technology was leaked. In his mind. I controlled this technique tightly enough. How first the Europeans. And then there's the Golden Man. All came to gunpowder technology successively

He forgot. His gunpowder technology came from the Western Regions. It is the two brothers of Huang Dahuang, a villager near Dunhuang. presided over his gunpowder research and development.

Other than that. The history of the use of gunpowder in China dates back to the Jin Dynasty. It has been six or seven hundred years since the Song Dynasty. Five or six hundred years. Enough for anyone with a heart to know this secret. It's not even a secret. Five or six hundred years. It is enough to make the technology of gunpowder known to everyone. It's as common as having to put salt in cooking at home. So much so that it came to the Song Dynasty. A Taoist priest will not fiddle with gunpowder. I'm embarrassed to say hello when I go out.

Xing is worried: Jin Ren knows gunpowder. And what about the Tanguts? What about the Liao? How long will it take them to learn gunpowder technology?

Will they be the same as in real history. In terms of gunpowder technology, it was blocked by Song and Jinshuang. and so that they will not perish in their kingdom. The technology has not yet been mastered.

History has changed. The Great Song is now reequipped with weapons. did not hide the Liao and Western Xia people. Newly dressed musketeers show off their might in the capital. The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty hated to let this army put on a daily show. Under the enormous power of firearms. One can imagine how the envoys of the two countries in Beijing would exaggerate the power of this weapon to the country. And then how to spare no effort to find out the secret of this weapon.

I thought about it for a while. Sit down slowly.

He alone could not change the whole world. Traditionally, the court ministers had no sense of secrecy. For so many years. He kept the gunpowder formula from being passed on. I don't know how much criticism it has provoked. Fortunately, he is a minister. Yes, the great warlord of Fang Bahu. Otherwise. The imperial court would recruit his firesmiths into the ordnance superintendent as if they were slave craftsmen. Then the Minister of Ordnance Inadvertently leaked the firearms formula to the Liao and Western Xia people.

But. If it's just about competing for productivity. The recipe for firearms obtained by the Liao State and the Western Xia. with their low productivity. Can't fight the Song people. After all, history has changed. The entire Nanyang Affairs Bureau has been stimulated by Zhao Xing. Pursue innovation at full speed. And the Great Song Dynasty has a strong foundation for two hundred years. It is not comparable to the peoples of the steppes who advocate destruction and robbery.

Maybe. Normal history. Song Jun, who was used to playing fireworks displays, saw that the other party's firearms were more powerful than his own. Thus panicking. So much so that the whole army was wiped out. And then the country is destroyed. But this kind of history will not exist. At least the soldiers under Zhao Xing's command had seen the power of artillery.

With artillery. Unsurpassed for at least four or five hundred years.

Figured it out. Zhao Xing sat down slowly. Hand the notice to Zhan Fan and Zhou Wenzhi. said lightly: "The handsome inspector is in the Bohai Sea." That's right. The Bohai State was concocted by us. The turmoil in the Bohai State was also operated by us. Shuai Zilian is still in Bohai. He sent a report. It is said that he tested the strength of the Jin people to the north. It was discovered that the Jin people had learned to use artillery.

The world is changing so fast. The Golden Man already knows how to use artillery. How long will it take for the small countries of the South Seas to acquire artillery knowledge...... I ask you to step up your regulation. Strengthen firearms control. Delay as much as possible in the acquisition of firearms by Arabs. Meantime. Take advantage of our current technology as quickly as possible. Conquer the South Seas once and for all.

I can't take care of you all this time. I want to go back to Hangzhou immediately. Planning for contingency ...... That's right. How much stock of hair pistols are left. I asked to continue the production of flintlock pistols. A lot of equipment folk hehe. The golden people will compare weapons with us. We compare the population with them. He had 100,000 musketeers. I'm armed with 10 million musketeers in the civilian population. than not to die them. ”

, Fan served as governor overseas for one term. He was bolder. After listening to Zhao Xing's words. He said with a sneer: "Why should the master be worried. Such a small country. A village knows the secrets of firearms. Let's slaughter a village; An island knows that Tu an island; If a country knows, it will slaughter another country. Surrounded by warships outside the island. No one knows when it's done. The ministers of the DPRK and China are making noise. Slaughter. I don't believe it. Where there will be endless grass. ”

Xing gave a thumbs up: "Alien butcher." Zhan Shou, the hero of his clan, said so. Explain that Zhan Shou was during his time as governor. must have safeguarded the interests of the Great Song Dynasty very well. It also shows that Quang Nam's colonial policy was implemented very well. I'm relieved! ”

Zhou Wenzhi is more gentle. He served as a state official in Jinghu. Influenced by Xie Lin. He is a gentleman. He considered it from another aspect: "Division. Didn't the Quang Nam Ordnance Bureau make a new gun? I've seen it. The new gun is more powerful than the old one. But it is a tiger that eats money. The shells are made of brass. Those copper shells are copper plates when stamped. It's all money!

Fight with this gun. War has changed completely. In the future, wars will be fought with money. It is the possession of bronze objects. Taishi. We now have a rational copper mine. There is a copper mine. These mineral deposits are abundant. As a result, the low price of copper in China is not the same. Now no one melts copper coins and casters, and there is not enough wages!

But the Western Xia of the Liao Kingdom? Where to look for copper? In the past, they didn't even have copper to mint money. It was completely melted into copper by acquiring Song money. How much does it take to get this back...... Hee-hee. It's a pity that Taishi has now begun to implement paper money. Henceforth. All of our transactions are settled in paper money. The Liao also wanted to buy Song Qian through trading as usual. All they bought was a pile of paper. The paper printed by the Taishi. Or banknotes printed by the imperial court.

And so it goes. What do the Liao people use to fight us? I thought. Even if the new gun technology leaks out. There weren't that many copper wars between the two countries...... Gunpowder. That's right. There are also gunpowder raw materials.

Sulfur mine in the Wa Kingdom and small Liuqiu nitrate. It's all in our hands. The Liao and Western Xia wanted to fight a firearms war. What does it do to fight us? Is that saltpeter refined by boiling people's feces and urine? Let him smell and pee! Stinks and doesn't kill him!

I think it is necessary to control the firearms in the hands of the Liao people and the Western Xia people from the root. It is only necessary to control the outflow of copper ore and control the sale of gunpowder raw materials. These two countries have stolen our musket technology. I can't fight me|Taishi goes back. The blockade of Japan's Xiaoliuqiu must be strengthened. You can't count on the Beiyang Affairs Bureau. In the future, our saltpeter will have to be transported by our naval warships. Unloading must also be at the designated point. Civilian ships do not participate in the transportation and storage of saltpeter.

This nitrate mine and sulfur mine belong to the Taishi to be responsible for strict defense. My two wide belts focus on controlling the outflow of copper. And so it goes. Dali still needs to send more troops in the future. Boni is also going to garrison another fleet...... I heard that the King of Luzon had arrived in Hangzhou. Taishi. It is better for us to send a fleet to escort the king of Luzon south. By the way, directly stationed in Luzon. ”

No profit can not afford to be early. The gentleman of Zhou Wen. He wanted to take the opportunity to control the large copper mine in Boni.

, Fan immediately patted his thigh and shouted: "That's right." My Song country is going to garrison the mud. When the king of the earth is unwilling. Just let them ask about our artillery. For the sake of the Great Song. We have to. Copper outflows must be tightly controlled. ”

Take a look. What has become of this? Zhou Wenzhi. Gentleman too! The two lakes have long recognized this. At a time when officialdom is an unspoken rule. Zhou Wenzhi relied on the work in Guangnan. With a rich penny, he will never participate in the greedy actions of the officials of the two lakes. Now. The gentleman was still smiling kindly as he spoke. The words that come out of his mouth do contain a conspiracy to destroy the country, invade and occupy it.

As for Zhan Fan...... Well. This man's words are too bloody. Zhao Xing doesn't know him!

Xing stood up: "That's it." You control the copper mines in Liangguang well. I immediately went back to blockade the Bohai Bay. Blockade of the Sea of Japan. to prevent the gold people from getting gunpowder.

And also. The purpose of the Ordnance Bureau in Quang Nam is to take advantage of its high sky. It makes it difficult for the imperial court to meddle in control. In the future, you will take care of the Ordnance Bureau for me. I am ready to open up the trade of firearms to the people of Guangzhou. Hunters were allowed to purchase flintlock muskets for hunting. Gunmen were allowed to equip their own muskets for personal self-defense, allowing them to use their full power. Increase production. End of the year. I need to get the army reloaded with new guns. It is also necessary to sell millions of flintlock pistols to the outside world. It's a big deal. Get them all moving. The production of flintlock pistols will reach one million this year. Three million next year. Five million the year after. And to maintain an annual maintenance capacity of one million......"

Xing's last sentence was said. The two people in front of them both knew Zhao Xing's temper. Immediately asked: "Lord Taiwei is in such a hurry." I plan to do it next year...... Is there anything about Quang Nam? I am rich in both worlds. Financing the war was not a problem. Taishi. Can't just let Liangzhelu eat. I also want to drink some soup from the two merchants. ”

Xing shook his head: "I don't plan to do anything to the Liao people yet." It's not ready yet. Besides, to do something to them, you have to go through the imperial court. The strength of the whole country is needed. It must also be consulted with the Beiyang Affairs Bureau...... I'm not going to do anything to the Tanguts either. To do something to the Xia people, you need the assistance of Shaanxi.

I pondered: we need to further control the ports of the Japanese state. It is relatively close to Liaodong. It is said that a person can swim across the sea with a gourd on his waist. Although the Japanese people now look down on the Jin people. I am full of admiration for Da Song in my heart. But saltpeter mines must be in our hands. So I'm going to go around the country for a ......" (To be continued.) If you want to know what to do. Please log in. More chapters. Support the author. In the tank! )
