After a long time, Zhang Guoan found out that the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty really cast the cannon alone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But the shape of the cannon was ridiculous, short and thick, and it preferred to be made into the shape of an animal, not a dragon or a tiger.

This makes the weight of the gun increase, and it is not conducive to heat dissipation, the appearance is better, and it also looks mighty, and there is also the advantage that the thickness is increased, which can reduce the danger of exploding.

They also had to use stone shells, which allowed for an increase in range.

Zhang Guoan did the math, they built the artillery more than ten years before the craftsmen of the Tatar bandit group, although they looked more like handicrafts.

The firing range of this gun can reach about 50 paces, and it can also be increased.

However, during the test firing, the cannon that was too large actually killed people, so the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty chose a class that could shoot about 50 steps, and strangely thought that the cannon was too big and would hurt the heavens.

Why is it easy to blow up artillery that is too big?!

The Jinghu system made Lu Wende ecstatic, because he saw that this cannon was more damaging to the sails of the enemy ships, and the better use was in the city!

Lu Wende still learned the lesson of the last time, did not dare to show off, and secretly practiced by himself, preparing to give Liu Cheng another blow when the time comes.

The men he sent reported that Liu Cheng was also stepping up training on bed crossbow firearms and stone cannons, and had heard that the entire Sichuan province was helping him build a naval army.

But Lu Wende is really not afraid, first, he has the support of the Great Song Dynasty, and second, even with the strength of the Lu military group, he is not afraid!

The commercial development of the Lü military group is also amazing, relying on the two golden waterways of the Yangtze River and the Han River, their daily income is huge.

Later generations said that Lü Wende allowed the Tatar bandit group to build a discussion center in Xiangyang City as a failure, but this is from the results of the war, and it is an after-the-fact view.

In fact. The more important reason is determined by commercial needs and the innate commercial spirit of Lu Wende's military group.

Lu Wende originally started by processing, producing, and reselling charcoal!

Therefore, as later generations evaluate in historical materials, it is because he accepted a bribe from a jade belt that he agreed to open a discussion field, which can be seen that after the Great Song Dynasty, the spirit of commerce has begun to be missing. It's more about the psychology of scheming.

Therefore, the two forces are now in an interesting situation, with constant military friction on the one hand and commercial exchanges on the other.

After Lu Wende saw that Liu Quan gave up the special rectification of Haiyan, he also opened up trade with the entire eastern Sichuan region and no longer banned it.

Lu Wende can't report his military exploits, but it doesn't mean that he won't report the news to the Great Song Dynasty.

After Pingzhang Jia Rudao learned about their report, he thought about it for a long time and gave him an instruction. To put it simply, there are three points: reasonable, powerful, and responsible.

Stability is the overall situation, and we cherish the current peaceful environment.

Pingzhang Jia seems to see the friction between the two hostile forces from the perspective of a larger leader, and he directly vetoes Lu Wende's hint of intent to recover Sichuan, turning it into a confrontation without war or peace, as long as the status quo can be maintained.

The last Duanping Luoluo incident hit Da Song too hard. 60,000 elite soldiers were dispatched, and more than half of the losses were returned!

Duan Ping into Luo. It is a typical case of being extremely opposed in strategy, but not being able to beat others in terms of playing style.

Therefore, the recovery of the Sichuan region, from a strategic point of view, is also right, but what if it really starts?!

Think about it. At that time, my Great Song Dynasty took advantage of the short break between the two wars of the Tatar bandit group to increase its territory and increase the depth of defense.

As mentioned earlier, even if you can't stop the enemy, it's good to be a buffer------ but the result is that you can't defeat the Tatar bandits.

The Great Song then broke off his desire to fight them on land. Confront them by defending the city and fighting water.

Moreover, after the Duanping Luoluo incident, the fierceness of the Tatar bandit group in the first attack on the Great Song Dynasty also made Jia Rudao, who personally led the battle of Ezhou City, a little shocked in retrospect.

In a broad sense, the Great Song Dynasty was fighting against a combined army composed of the Tatars, the Tanguts, the Jin, and various scum from the Western Regions!

It's really not easy to be like this!

Pingzhang Jia seems to be like a dao, that Zhang Guoan on Liuqiu Island is scared after analyzing the organizational structure of the Tatar bandit group, if this gang of people wins, my gods, they all grew up drinking wolf milk, and they recognize wolves as their ancestors!

Therefore, Zhang Guoan resolutely leaked the secrets of armaments to the Great Song Dynasty, and resolutely supported the Great Song Dynasty, because he absolutely understood that if the Great Song Dynasty was finished, the power of the Tatar bandit group would be stronger, not to mention, they would definitely exert force on themselves and would not tolerate their own existence!

This is the opposition of the three views, the opposition of human nature, irreconcilable------

But Pingzhang Jia didn't know this, and he didn't want to be Zhang Guoan at this time.

In Pingzhang Jia Yidao's view, if he agrees with Lu Wende's hint, then the entire Sichuan region will fall back into war, full of unknown possibilities------ it is not as stable as it is now.

The Great Song Dynasty has just ended the state of war, and its own economic problems are also a lot, so it will take time.

Lu Wende received instructions from Pingzhang Jia Nidao and discussed with his staff, but he had to think that this was the only way to do it now.

Subsequently, they had a hot fight with the Ezhou naval army, and the relationship between the two sides was extremely harmonious, and there were contacts between them.

The relatively peaceful environment allowed business to develop further.

The "Long Street" outside Wangze Gate in the south of Ezhou City is an important residential area here.

At this time, the long causeway is accompanied by the long street, or the long beach is the long street, which is not uncommon in cities along the river.

The city faces a large river and is often threatened by flooding, so the construction of river embankments is the most important disaster prevention measure.

Under this causeway, not long after leaving Wangze Gate, there is a place full of shops.

Now, many shopkeepers are happy with the arrival of a few ships of two thousand materials.

These big ships brought in a lot of the goods they needed.

Cheap sea salt, fine leather goods, brighter candles, better soaps and soaps than soaphorn and pancreatic beans, cheaper soaps and soaps, and of course, whale oil and perfume are the most popular.

The shopkeeper of a shop said: "Most of the perfume is occupied by the Lu family, and there are very few people who share it with me!" ”

The shopkeeper of another shop said: "Fortunately, they have sent a lot of money this time, and they can earn a little ----- see what more goods they can produce at the Rouqiu Island Commodity Fair this time." ”

The other shopkeepers are also very longing, they have already heard of the Liuqiu Island Commodity Fair, which has been held separately in several big cities, and has always hoped that they can also come to this important town on the Yangtze River, but now it is really here, which makes everyone wait for a long time.

This time, it was Liuqiu Island who took the initiative to deliver the goods, and the delivery person was Guo Ziren, who had already opened Liuqiu Island commodity fairs in Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Mingzhou, Tongcheng, Jiankang, and Yangzhou, and achieved a great sensation.

This time it was the last time in the Great Song Dynasty, and they had already gone deep inland along the Yangtze River. (To be continued.) )
