PS: There was a repetition before the previous chapter, but it has been changed.

Bang! Bang!

"Hit, hit!"

Seeing the pheasant being picked up, the immature voices of two children came to Orr.

The subordinates who followed behind him were carrying prey such as pheasants, hares, and foxes at this time, which showed that they had caught a lot of hunts this time.

"This musket is a good thing, and it is not comparable to a bow and arrow!" Lotte chuckled and handed the musket in his hand to the shakuchi next to him to reload the gunpowder projectile.

Wang Lao'er, who was with Lotte, hurriedly said: "It's not for the master's ingenious idea, otherwise I wouldn't have made these two muskets!" ”

Wang Lao'er thought for a while and said: "Back to the Hou Ye's words, the artillery workshop not only has to produce muskets but also artillery, manpower is really a little insufficient, it can produce more than 20 guns per month, if you stop the production of artillery and go all out to produce muskets, the production process of muskets is obviously more complicated than artillery, Xiao Lao'er calculated, that is, to stop the production of artillery, all the strength to produce muskets, a month can produce up to 30 guns, this is still in the case of handing over the bayonet to others to make. ”

"Master Hou, there's a hare over there!" The shakuhachi, who was with Rakuten, was looking around looking for prey, pointing to the distance and suddenly said.

In September, Wang Lao'er handed over the first musket to Lotte, and after thinking about it, Lotte felt that although the firing pistol was powerful, the rate of fire was too slow, and in order to increase the rate of fire, it was changed to a double-barreled musket, and then the artillery workshop made several double-barreled muskets in two months according to the drawings given by Lotte.

After the gunshot, Lotte shook his head, apparently not fighting, handed the musket to the shakuchi to reload the gunpowder projectile, and asked at the same time, "Shakuchi, how is the business of the watch shop now?" ”

Because the productivity of the courtyard is limited, every time there is a watch market will be snatched up, and some people even ask to buy the store's watch samples, the small ones are afraid that the store will not be able to sell the samples, and now the orders have been scheduled to the spring of the next year, and even more people want to pay a lot of money to pick up the goods early! ”

Not in the temple, Lotte also knows what the current court of the Great Song Dynasty looks like, in recent years, the Great Song Dynasty has become more and more erosive, the financial income is not as good as before, the treasury is more and more empty, many officials were dismissed in October, and 22 Caochen who were not enough money and materials were demoted in November.

It was freezing in Biandu, and the two children were still young for fear of freezing, so they took the two children to hunt and have fun for a while and then returned to the city.

As soon as he arrived at the house, he asked his subordinates to take the two little ones to the back house to ask An to change his clothes to keep warm, and Tu Si came to say goodbye.

Tu Siyu said: "Master Hou, Zhang Jue, who came to Pingzhou in May this year, is dead!" ”

Tu Si replied: "The Jin people asked Zhang Jue, Xuanfu Wang An took Zhang Jue out, counted his crimes, Zhang Jue scolded the Song people for not allowing people to speak, Wang An hanged Zhang Jue, wrapped his head and gave it to the Jin people. ”

Tu Si continued: "Master Hou, when I heard about Zhang Jue, the generals of Yanjing's surrender to the imperial court and the Chang Shengjun under his command shed tears. Pharmacist Guo himself once said to his subordinates: 'If the Jin people come to ask for the pharmacist, what will happen to the Great Song Dynasty?' According to the news from the small inquiry, since Zhang Jue's incident came, Yan You's generals and soldiers had no intention of falling apart in the imperial court. ”

Our dynasty, on the other hand, surrendered to the Northern Song Dynasty with Guo Yaoshi before the Jin captured Yanjing, and had already been awarded an official position for his meritorious service in defeating Xiao Gan, and rejected the Jin people's request. Then Wang An killed Zhang Jue, what did Guo Yaoshi think, in the future, the Jin people wanted Guo Yaoshi, and he Wang An also wanted to kill Guo Yaoshi and give the head to the Jin people? ”

Liao died, whether it was the Han people who were plundered by the Liao people during the Five Dynasties period, or the Liao people who had no choice but to belong to Jin after the Jin destroyed the Liao, the Han people did not want to be enslaved by the Jurchens. Therefore, when Jin destroyed Liao and Song recovered the land of Yanyun, many Han people and even Khitans enthusiastically took the initiative to restore the "Han people's clothes" and were eager to return to the "ancestral state".

Here, one thing that has to be mentioned is that after Song Jin agreed to destroy Liao, Song gave Jin 500,000 taels of gold silk per year to redeem the land of Yanyou. Zhao Ji of Song Huizong originally meant that Yanjing was returned to the Song Dynasty along with the sixteen states under the management of the Song, but only Yanjing was mentioned in the imperial pen book, and there was no mention of the annexation of the state, so the Jin people did not return the annexed state to the Northern Song Dynasty, because of the mistake of this peace treaty, Zhao Liangsi and others who were responsible for the negotiation had no way to change the passive situation.

Heart of attachment to the homeland, in May Zhang Jue rebelled against the Jin Song Dynasty, until he was defeated by the Jin people and fled into Yanjing, and then the Jin people asked Wang An to pacify Zhang Jue, Wang An could only find a person with the same appearance as Zhang Jue to kill the replacement, but did not want to be recognized by the Jin people, Wang An killed Zhang Jue and dedicated his head to the Jin people.

The court was unbearable, Lotte could only sigh long in addition to a wry smile, and his heart knew better that Zhang Jue's matter was a fuse for the Jin people to attack the Song Dynasty, which deepened the contradiction between the Song and Jin, increased the Jin people's contempt and hatred for the Song Dynasty, and strengthened the confidence and determination of the Jin people to destroy the Song Dynasty, and even Lotte was sure that the Jin people would now begin to prepare for the Song Dynasty, thinking of what would happen in the future, Lotte had to pay attention to one person, that is, Guo Yaoshi, the Liao general stationed in Yanjing.

Thinking of this, Lotte asked, "Do you have accurate information about Pharmacist Guo?" ”

Pharmacist Guo sent his subordinates to do business in the states within the Great Song Dynasty and earn money. He also summoned the craftsmen of Emperor Tianzuo to make all kinds of precious things and make friends with the powerful. Moreover, there are more than 50,000 Changsheng troops under Guo Yaoshi, and there are 300,000 ...... in the countryside."

Tu Si hurriedly replied: "Official, according to the spies stationed in the north, after the destruction of the Liao State, Guo Yaoshi and his subordinates did not change to 'Zuo Wei', that is, they still wore Liao clothes, not Song clothes. Some people even compare it with An Lushan, saying that they must have different intentions with my Great Song Dynasty. ”

"The official means ......" In recent years, Lotte began to use the ticket number as the arrangement of his own intelligence in the Great Song Dynasty, and Tu Si was responsible for taking care of intelligence and other affairs.
