There are two kinds of power, the most amazing, one is destructive, just like the heroes on the grassland, from ancient times to the present, they continue to conquer and kill, every place they go, is blood flowing, corpses are piling up like mountains, cities are burned, civilization is destroyed...... Many fell under their butcher's knives and feared, calling them the whips of God, representing the gods and punishing the world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is also a force, and that is the power of creation.

The Great Wall stretches for thousands of miles, majestic palaces, straight roads, and numerous drainage ditches...... And, of course, the giant ship in front of you.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, you will never be able to feel the enormity of the ship based on the description of the words, like a mountain, a city, and anyone in front of this ship is a small ant, including the emperor!

But such a giant of the sea is made by countless small people with their hands.

It's funny and emotional.

Zhao Zhen, Fu Bi, Di Qing, Ouyang Xiu, Tang Jie, Wang Deyong, everyone was conquered by this giant ship, they walked in the middle of the deck of up to four floors, admiring the stunning design, and feeling the ingenuity and strength of the craftsmen. Even Fu Bi had to admit that these craftsmen were really remarkable.

Such a huge ship, if used to transport war horses, can transport almost 1,000 to 1,500 horses, if there are ten giant ships, it can transport all the war horses needed by 3,000 heavy cavalry, and with 3,000 heavy horses, it can resist the army of the Liao State, and it can play the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty...... It's an easy account to settle down.

In the past, the Liao army pressed the border, and the Great Song Dynasty was helpless, so he could only hide in the city, rely on the strong city wall to protect himself, tremble, and could only rely on the New Year's coin to pray for peace.

Just ten big ships can change the fate of the empire!

Zhao Zhen finally figured it out, this was the source of confidence he was looking for, and Zhao Zhen felt that he had endless power.

"Wang Qing, a few years ago, you said that you wanted to restore Yanyun, at that time, it sounded like a fool's dream to many people, but over the years, your Pingxian County has accumulated enough strength, and I believe more and more that the day when my Great Song Army will invade the Liao Kingdom is not far away!"

Wang Ningan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Pingxian is not a minister, it is the people of Pingxian, and it is the Great Song Dynasty...... As for the things in the world, the key is to practice the word, sitting and talking about the Tao, it is better to be down-to-earth and really do things, which is also the spirit that Chen has been advocating in the six arts. The giant ship was designed and built by the teachers and students of the Six Arts and Hundred Crafts Institute, and they also planned to build a larger Shenzhou. ”

"Good!"

Zhao Zhen stroked his palms and laughed, "If they build a bigger ship, I will definitely not spare the title, and the court will reward these people who can do practical things. ”

Fu Bi bowed down and agreed, his face was as usual, but his heart became more and more helpless.

Although he despises the Six Arts Academy and hates these bad boys who don't follow the way of Confucius and Mencius, the problem is that these bad boys can often do things that they can't succeed in.

Take the Shenzhou in front of you as an example, it is the highest achievement of the Great Song Dynasty shipbuilding technology.

The keel was made of cochin wood, reinforced with steel parts, and the ship had hundreds of watertight cabins, so even if it was damaged, it would not easily sink into the sea.

In addition, the ship was equipped with 120 bed crossbows, and some primitive rockets, and before the appearance of artillery, this big ship was definitely a hedgehog at sea, and no one dared to mess with it.

……

Zhao Zhen had a very happy time in Pingxian, in addition to witnessing the launch of Shenzhou, he also visited the ordnance workshop, which is also the place where Wang Ningan focuses the most.

Since the last time the direction of the Iron Cavalry was determined, the Ordnance Workshop has stepped up its efforts to study plate armor.

After trial and error, it finally worked.

Wang Liangjing took a piece of plate armor in his hand, which was smashed out by using a hydraulic forging machine, a complete set of cuirass, about 30 catties, and the weight was only half of the foot armor, so how about the protection?

There was an experiment on the spot.

On one side is a step armor, and on the other side is a plate armor.

Wang Liangjing carried a saber, inhaled hard, and slashed diagonally towards the step man armor, from the shoulder to the chest, a huge opening was made, the nail leaves flew wildly, and the tip of the knife was deeply sunk, obviously, if there were people inside, they would either die or be injured.

He used the same force again, slashed on the plate armor, the two collided, emitting a string of sparks, very dazzling, carefully identified, the breastplate was also cut, but the wound was not deep, obviously, the protective power, the plate armor is superior.

Just letting Wang Liangjing experiment, obviously can't convince more people.

Zhao Zhen called Wang Deyong and Di Qing, and found dozens of soldiers who supported the Japanese army, and after they wore them personally, they all gave the plate armor a thumbs up.

Zhao Zhen was still a little puzzled, "I see that the plate armor only protects the vital point, but the limbs are exposed, what if I am injured?" ”

Di Qing said with a smile: "Your Majesty, how can there be a foolproof strategy, it is very good to be able to protect the vital points, the armor is lighter, you can save physical strength, and the plate armor can also protect the limbs, it depends on the needs of the battle, make trade-offs." But on the whole, I want to congratulate Your Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty's iron cavalry has been completed! ”

Wang Liangjing beckoned his subordinates and gave Zhao Zhen a demonstration, a total of 200 people, divided into two teams, riding a horse wari horse, wearing plate armor, each with 3 riding guns.

From far to near, the war horse took small steps and moved forward quickly.

Zhao Zhen saw it for the first time, although the Jingsai army had also practiced, but it was too different from the Wang army, after all, they were warriors who had fought with the Liao soldiers and returned with a big victory.

Impacting forward, the momentum is like a rainbow, and the killing machine is everywhere, making people feel that the blood all over their bodies is coagulated. When they raised their rifles and formed a line, many people exclaimed.

Including Di Qing, his sideburns were sweating, and he kept wondering if he was the opponent of these people, would he be able to fight his way out of Rulin's spear.

After thinking about countless possibilities, Di Qing gave up in despair.

I have to say that the tactic of riding the wall is a complete scoundrel!

is stunned to pull you to the same level, and then with absolute superiority, completely crushed!

These soldiers are not equipped with bows and arrows at all, in fact, they also know very well that it is not of much use if they are equipped, and compared with the Liao people in archery, there is something wrong with their heads at all.

Lao Tzu relied on fast horses, strong armor, and excellent discipline to defeat his opponents.

The heavy cavalry is the iron hammer of the entire army, the hammer that breaks the crab armor, the follow-up light cavalry, the horse infantry, and the bed crossbow, rocket, and fire oil...... These are the executioners who killed the Liao soldiers.

Di Qing is worthy of being a genius who leads the troops, he has quickly outlined a complete set of tactics, he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, everything is ready at the moment, only the war horses are owed, as long as the war horses are sufficient, the money and food are enough, you can launch an offensive at any time and recover Yanyun!" ”

Compared with Di Qing's optimism, others are more conservative, and at present, there are only a few hundred horses in the Great Song Dynasty, and only 200 Wang Jiajun have completed training and dressing.

There are more than 100,000 horses in the north, but in the whole of Hebei, there are only 50,000 horses, and the most important thing is that it is easy to attack Yanyun, but it is difficult to defend Yanyun.

These things must be considered as a commander, and Zhao Zhen would like to hear Wang Ningan's opinion.

"It is true that our strength alone is not enough to start a war, but we can use our strength to fight because the Liao country is going to be chaotic!"

Wang Ningan took out a secret letter, which was painted and sealed, Wang Ningan didn't read it at all, but even if he didn't read it, he could guess some of the contents.

This is a handwritten letter from Chongyuan, which was addressed to Zhao Zhen. 、

Uncle Zhao opened it and looked at it carefully, and in an almost numb tone, he called Zhao Zhen a noble, benevolent, wise, and generous imperial brother, and Chongyuan mentioned that he was the heir of the emperor. Yelu Hongji usurped his throne, and the two sides were at odds, and he wanted to raise an army to regain the throne.

Chongyuan hopes that Zhao Zhen can provide some help, 2 million military salaries, 1 million stone military rations, if the throne is recaptured, Chongyuan is willing to give Yanyun 16 states with both hands, Song and Liao, and the two countries will always form an alliance with Yunyun......

After reading it, Zhao Zhen was silent, and just let others also pass it on.

After everyone had seen it, Zhao Zhen asked, "What do you think?" ”

"The minister will never approve of giving heavy yuan food." Fu Bi first expressed his attitude, "Liao's civil strife, that's their business, my Great Song Dynasty should only sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, there is no need to take the chestnut in the fire for Chongyuan." ”

It is rare that Wang Ningan has no objection to Fu Bi's opinion.

To tell the truth, Yelu Chongyuan, chosen and chosen, chose the worst time, launched a rebellion.

Counting on his fingers, Yelu Hongji succeeded to the throne for almost a year, and he had already secured his position, eliminated potential opponents, and consolidated his power.

Wang Ning'an returned from an envoy from Liao, and at that time Daxiong launched an offensive and took Suzhou.

Originally, it was estimated that Yelu Hongji should attack the Great Bear with all his might, and he would definitely not allow the loss of land. Wang Ningan is also preparing for a good fight with Yelu Hongji on the Liaodong Peninsula.

It's just that out of surprise, Yelu Hongji did not send heavy troops to attack the bear, but chose to lead but not to start.

In fact, it was not that there was no action, but in the name of crusading against the Bohai Kingdom, he enriched the elite of the Khitan tribes into his own hands, and the leather room army expanded to 80,000 people, and the rest of the palace army and the Tielin army were strengthened.

In addition, Yelu Hongji also did one thing, he annexed half of the Xiao family!

As we all know, the royal family of the Liao State is the Yelu clan, and the descendant clan is the Xiao clan, and the Xiao clan has tens of thousands of elites, second only to the leather room army. Yelu Hongji beheaded Xiao Hui, annulled the marriage contract with Xiao Guanyin, and relied on strength to force Xiao to bow his head and obey his orders.

In this way, Yeluhongki's forces more than doubled.

Chongyuan is in chaos at this time, which is no different from looking for death.

But then again, he will not be able to fight now, and when Yeluhongji has completely digested these forces, he will have no way to resist.

"Your Majesty, Chongyuan raised troops, his chances of victory will not exceed two percent, but it can greatly consume the strength of the Liao State. The minister dared to advise that he could sell gunpowder and fire oil to Chongyuan! Let this uncle-nephew dispute come more violently! Wang Ningan smiled and suggested.
