"Nonsense! Monkey business! ”

"It's child's play!"

"What do you think of a national event?! It's like child's play! ”

Before the two Liao envoys left, Han Jiang began to be furious in the palace.

Seeing that Empress Xiang was in a hurry to recruit Xiao Xi into the palace, Han Jiang was suspicious, feeling that there must be something wrong, and chased after him to find out the truth, but unfortunately he was one step late. failed to stop the envoys of the Liao State.

When the Liao envoys went to the palace, even though they had returned to normal, their performance in the door hole had already worn to the palace. I didn't even be able to say anything hard, and I went down after handing in my credentials. completely lost the momentum that forced Zhao Ji to cut the land.

It's just that Han Jiang is on fire. It didn't come out in front, just because the messenger was in the temple, and now that there are no outsiders, he doesn't have to endure it anymore. This is not that Han Jiang's association is too good, but that he added the trumpet cannon to the bell of the time, which was proposed to the queen after watching the artillery test firing a few days ago.

Such a trivial matter that can't mention chopsticks, who will take it to heart? Taichang Liyuan may want to contradict the queen to show their existence, but Han Jiang and Cai Qu are not that idle. It passed smoothly at that time.

At that time, everyone thought that it was normal for the queen to suddenly come up with this idea. Who made her just watch the test firing of the artillery in Kim Myeongchi? Not only Empress Taishang, but all the important ministers who went to Jinmingchi were extremely impressed by the artillery.

Previously, the Ordnance Supervision Artillery test-fired, and a single shot destroyed Guo Kui's house. Guo Kui came to the door to find the field, but who knew that Lu Dao fell into it in a flash. Turning back, there is a lot of hype about how the artillery is. So much so that the next day, even Empress Taishang found an excuse to go to Jinmingchi, and then asked the ordnance supervisor to test fire by the pool with artillery.

A total of two guns were firing, and each cannon crossed the entire distance of Jinmingchi and flew into the trees on the opposite bank, sending fragments of the shields lined up in horizontal rows as targets. Next to the two guns, there is also a comparison of the eight-ox crossbow, but in terms of shooting speed and manpower, the eight-ox crossbow is far inferior to the performance of the artillery. And the momentum and result of the shooting are also the superiority of the artillery.

The power of the Eight Ox Crossbow is well known to everyone in Tokyo. Back then, it was a shocking shot and shot out of an alliance of the abyss. Even with the Divine Arm Bow, the Horse Chopper, the Thunderbolt Cannon and the Flying Ship in the future, the status of the Eight Bull Crossbow in the eyes of the world has not changed. It will always be the most deterrent weapon in the Great Song Army. But this time, the artillery was really performed in front of all the audience, completely overpowering the Eight Bull Crossbow.

However, in the eyes of many people, even including Queen Xiang, it is still much more lively. In particular, the thunderous explosion is even more impressive. Compared with breaking a bunch of targets, dozens of times larger than ordinary firecrackers, the sound like thunder in the nine days is far more shocking.

It was probably at that time that Empress Xiang remembered how to rectify the envoy of the Liao State, lest he go to the palace to show off his achievements in conquering Goryeo.

Xiang explained to Han Jiang that the queen deleted the head and tail, but Han Jiang didn't accept it at all, "How can China's dignity be built on scaring the envoy!" In the future, the imperial court will send an envoy to Liao, what if the Liao people do the same? ”

'What if you're scared?' 'Whisper to the queen, if such waste loses the face of the court, he will be dealt with by his own national law.

But she didn't want to fight with Han Jiang. No matter who wins or loses after the battle, she is the loser.

"This must not be the idea that His Highness came up with, who is it?"

Han Jiang is unrelenting, as the prime minister, he has lost too much of his presence. Although Han Jiang had no intention of fighting for power with Cai Qu, the queen could not tolerate such a big matter from him, the prime minister.

Xiang didn't answer to the queen, it was indeed proposed by someone, and she just agreed. can think of using the city gate to help increase the momentum, of course, it will not be the queen Taishang who is difficult to get out of the palace once a year, and can only go to the main gate.

"What about the Hangang people? Was it his idea? Han Jiang asked, his tone not softening slightly because of the mention of Han Gang.

"It's not Han Xuanhui." Empress Xiang had to come out to clarify, and took all the responsibilities over, "No one came up with ideas, this is what I thought." The deputy envoy sent by the Liao State looked like that, and I was scared when I saw it. Don't you want to frighten the official family when you come to the palace? Fortunately, after eating this scare today, I became a clown, and there is nothing to be afraid of. As you can see today, the official family was not frightened by the 'Liao Warrior' at all. ”

Zhao Xu sat very upright, whether the envoy of the Liao State was in the hall or not, his posture maintained the demeanor that the Son of Heaven should have, as if he didn't notice this small turmoil at all. But when he heard that he mentioned himself to the queen, Zhao Xu couldn't sit down, and rushed in the direction of the queen: "The queen mother said yes." ”

That's because it's so far away. ’

Cai Qu and Zhang Dian didn't mean to help the queen. They all thought about letting Han Jiang extinguish the fire first, and then go up to resolve it themselves. Otherwise, it's easy to collapse.

With that kind of hellish reason, how can there be no earth-shattering results.

Han Gang was not in the palace at this time, and he didn't know anything about it beforehand, but he quickly got the news.

As Han Jiang said, this matter is really undignified by the court. Just a messenger from the Liao State, the court is tempted by them, and when the news of this matter spreads, it will only be the court that will lose face. After that, the defense to the queen was also empty and powerless, and the child may not be scared, but an ugly man in a strange costume, as for being so wary?

But was recruited to the palace, and Han Gang could only help to ease the queen's cheeks.

"What Xiang Gong said is certainly reasonable, but the whole thing, Han Gang feels harmless." Han Gang ignored Han Jiang's angry gaze and said to himself, "There are all kinds of dismounts. The arrival of a new official and the arrival of an envoy are the most common situations. Xiao Xi has been a messenger for so long, he must have been used to it for a long time. ”

This is outright bandit logic. But very convincing.

"Are you afraid that the Liao people will not be able to learn artillery? And specifically remind them? Han Jiang glared at Han Gang angrily, he was not one of those petty officials who had no vision, and he could fool Han Gang.

'What if you learn?' Han Gang sneered, he never took it to heart. But you can't say it directly.

"I'm too worried." Han Gang slowly explained, "Get its shape, lose its spirit." Beiyu has always learned Chinese things, and it has always been like this. Whether it is the official system or political affairs, there are many similarities on the surface, but in fact they are very different. ”

"Now we're talking about weapons!"

"After the Liao people stole school, they made more plate armor, but the gap with the official army is getting bigger and bigger. The god arm bow, the Liao people are not unavailable, but until now, they have seen the opposite side produce one or two. What the artillery can see is only the appearance, but other places that are equally important are invisible to the Liao people and cannot learn. ”

"It's a half-hung artillery, if you are caught off guard, won't the officers and soldiers suffer?"

"Even if there is no artillery, it is difficult for the officers and soldiers not to suffer losses if they are caught off guard." Han Gang spoke more and more sincerely, "Xianggong, artillery is a thing, and it can't be hidden from the north. As many spies as China can send to the northern captives, the northern captives can send as many elaborate works as they can. Since Yelu Yixin got so much benefit from the spaceship back then, he will definitely not relax his idea of stealing from China. By this time, Jeruyisin was afraid that he had heard about the artillery by now. ”

Han Jiang is still angry, but since Han Gang is clearly on the queen's side, then if he fights now, it is equivalent to fighting against Han Gang, and he must add the queen who beats the side drum. In such a situation, Han Jiang had no chance of winning at all.

Before, Han Jiang had a seizure, and the Zai Fu had no intention of helping Queen Taishang, which made Han Jiang easily restrain Queen Xiang in terms of momentum. But as soon as Han Gang arrived and said a few words, the situation was reversed.

Without all of his colleagues on the side of the Son of Heaven, a prime minister can have the upper hand. However, once there are two or more opinions in the two governments. At this time, the position of the emperor is important. For the Son of Heaven who is in charge of Kyushu, it is far easier to be a referee than to end up directly.

Han Jiang died down, but Han Gang was not too busy and did not go to pursue. Cai Qu and Zhang Dian came forward to say a few more good words. Zan Han Jiang is the minister of the humerus, and his concerns are right. It's just that Empress Taishang wants to suppress the arrogance of the Liao people, so she has to do so.

There are steps on both sides, and the small turmoil can be regarded as an end.

However, with this story, if an envoy comes to the door in the future, maybe it will become the norm to fire cannons.

Han Gang thought it would be interesting in the future. However, today Lu Huiqing and Xiao Xi arrived in Beijing at the same time.

After making such a fuss, Han Gang's gaze swept over every Zaifu in the hall, and said in his heart, I should talk about Lu Huiqing.

Lu Huiqing has already entered Beijing. Empress Taishang did not summon him into the palace at the first time, but recruited the envoy of Liao, which in the outside world, there will definitely be people who have a reverie.

Lu Huiqing also mentioned firearms, and even the proposal to set up a firearms bureau was exactly the same as Han Gang, but Han Gang was in Beijing, and Lu Huiqing was not there. However, Lu Huiqing's firearm is to hit the arrow with a gunpowder bag to increase the range, while Han Gang's firearm uses the explosive force of gunpowder to directly throw the cannonball.

It's two directions entirely.

But those who know about this matter cannot deny Lu Huiqing's vision. The success of artillery actually made people re-understand the role of gunpowder, and Lu Huiqing's proposal came to the fore.

Someone in the Ordnance Warden wrote down the proposal to make a rocket and handed it in. This was before the Firearms Bureau was formally established. Even a few drawings, Han Gang got them.

He was once very surprised by the drawings from Lu Huiqing, isn't this just a swarm of bee arrows?

The cost, labor and reliability are completely incomparable with artillery.

However, Han Gang has no intention of objecting, if he doesn't agree, it will make Lu Huiqing always pull out in the future, so it is better to solve the trouble first.

Han Gang has absolute confidence in artillery, since he can eliminate bed crossbows and catapults in another world, then there will be no repetition in this world.

It's the mule, it's the horse that comes out and slips. Anyway, the real guy will know it when he tries it on the battlefield.
