In fact, don't talk about Du Jia, as long as the people of later generations naturally understand the power of artillery, the modern history of our country was forcibly blasted by the British's "strong ships and guns", and as one of the four major inventions of our Chinese nation, the research of gunpowder in the Song Dynasty was actually very mature, and even the emergence of "cannons", such as the thunderous thunder Ling Zhen in the original plot at that time, he used it when he attacked Liangshan, which shocked everyone for a while.

But after the incident passed, although Liang Shan surrendered Ling Zhen, but only let him take the position of "big and small cannon manufacturing", to put it bluntly, he is the manager of an honor guard, this is completely a tyrannical thing, no wonder Mr. Lu Xun once lamented that "foreign countries use gunpowder to make bullets to resist the enemy, but China uses it to make firecrackers to worship God", which is really deplorable.

Therefore, Du Jia naturally will not let go of this good opportunity, but he has never had the opportunity to get Ling Zhen before, although he is not reused there, but he is also a civil servant in the capital, drought and flood protection sounds majestic, even if he sends someone to catch him, I am afraid he may not be willing to surrender, but this time it is different to take the opportunity to transfer, in Du Jia's mind, if Ling Zhen and those technicians of the gunpowder imperial barracks can play a full role, its power is definitely not under the most elite chain horse, Therefore, although this Ling Zhen is only an Earth Evil Star, in Du Jia's opinion, it is definitely the level of Tiangang.

That Yu Hou was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him and retreated, naturally an official of the Tang State took him to the post house to eat, drink and entertain, and then sealed a thick sum of Cheng Yi for him to take back.

Captain Su was also overjoyed when they received the reply, although he was shrewd, it was impossible for him to guess Du Jia's true intentions - let alone him, it was impossible for people of this era to guess what the status of artillery and gunpowder would be in the military of later generations, so he readily agreed to Du Jia's request and was extremely happy in his heart.

The two sides also agreed that after the Spring Festival, they will start troops in the spring of the next year, and each side will send 50,000 troops at that time.

Soon after, Chai Liya gave birth to a daughter, and everyone naturally came to congratulate, originally Chai Liya was still regretting not being able to give birth to a son, seeing Du Jia was completely unimpressed, and personally named her daughter Mei Niang, this is relieved, and this era is different from patriarchy, Du Jia does not treat his son and daughter differently, and the name Mei Niang is also a tribute to the only female emperor in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

During this period of time, the civil and military officials of the Tang Kingdom got married and had children, and in the past few years, everyone has been fighting in the north and south, running around is very hard, and they can't take care of solving personal matters, and now they have finally waited for the right time, and everyone has an official position, which is enough to glorify the ancestors, and it is logical to marry a wife and have children.

In addition, this year, the people of the Tang Kingdom have not been harassed by any internal and external troubles, and just caught up with the wind and rain, this year can be described as a bumper harvest year, and the people have been convinced of the management of the Tang State in the past two years, and regard it as a great honor to be the people of the Tang State, and they are all scrambling to pay taxes, hoping that the Tang State will become stronger and stronger, so that the good life of the people can continue.

In addition, the rest of the places saw that the life of the Tang State was rich, and the people who came here were as many as one million, but now the official residency of the Tang State is not so easy to obtain, unless there is a unique way to obtain the literary and military strategy, there are only three ways to obtain it, first, the net worth is more than 10,000 guan; 2. Farming for ten years and paying more than three times the tax of the official Tang residents; Third, join the army of the Tang State and serve for five years.

These three ways ensure that the later people who join the Tang State are either businessmen who can enrich logistics and trade, or diligent farmers, or capable warriors, which are all very important resources, and they can't keep them if they want to stay in other places, but they are all rushing to run here, and they have broken their heads for a formal residency, which makes the first batch of people to be extremely happy and proud, and feel that they are too wise.

In the blink of an eye, this year's Spring Festival has arrived, and all the people of the Tang Kingdom are smiling, full of lights, full of joy, and the rest of the capital and Tian Hu, Wang Qing, Fang La and other countries are no exception, celebrating the most important festival of the people of the Celestial Empire, but Tian Hu does not know that this is the last year he has spent in this world.

After the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, Su Yuanjing couldn't wait to start dispatching troops, and now five of the ten cities in Jizhou are in the hands of Tian Hu, namely Gaizhou, Zhaode, Jinning, Fenyang, Weisheng, in addition to the old nest Taiyuan County, and then Su Taiwei transferred 30,000 military horses from the other five cities Dongping, Dongchang, Daming, Daliang, and Baoding, and then added 20,000 forbidden troops, a total of 50,000 horses and horses were handed over to the command of Tang State.

And the commanders of these military horses are also well-known, Dongping Mansion is the soldiers and horses are the double gun general Dong Ping, Dongchang Mansion is the soldiers and horses are the soldiers and horses are the soldiers and horses are the soldiers and horses without feather arrows Zhang Qing, the Daimyo's Mansion is the capital commander of the vanguard Suo Chao, the Daliang Mansion is the horse army training the double sword general Liang Da, the Baoding Mansion is the infantry army to train the blood refining gun Jia Gui, and the commanders of the forbidden army are the two Jiedu envoys Huang Biao and Zhang Shan, and then there are more than 100 technicians from the gunpowder workshop specially requested by Du Jia, and they are led by Lei Lingzhen.

This is a complete surprise for Du Jia, which includes a five tiger general in the original plot and two of the eight biao horses, especially Zhang Qing, who has no feather arrows, can be said to be the first long-range shooter in the original plot, and once defeated the fifteen generals of Liangshan in a row, which is something that even Xiao Li Guanghuarong can't do, after all, the flying stone is too fast and the shot is hidden, which makes people unguardable.

Of course, the strong also have their own personality and arrogance, and it is not easy to subdue them, which is relatively easy for Ling Zhen, after all, he is not treated well in the imperial court, and he is still a deputy as an artilleryman, but he is just a minor official from the sixth grade, as long as he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility and then recruited by a high-ranking official, it is not a big problem.

The second is the urgent pioneer Suo Chao, this is a quick temper and a straight character, and the thunderbolt Qin Ming is like a long-lost brother, he is not very important in the Daimyo Mansion, at that time and Yang Zhi had a big battle for a small position in the main army, and then he was valued and promoted by Liang Zhongshu, but in the military of the Daimyo Mansion there are two great gods, Tianwang Wenda and Dadao Li Cheng, he can lead the troops over this time as a commander, I am afraid it is more due to being excluded, after all, Liang Zhongshu is Cai Jing's son-in-law, And Tang Guo has the previous hatred of "the birth gang was taken away", and if you can be enthusiastic about this unified action, then the sun will come out from the north.
