For so many years, I have never been angry with the public loser, and among the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, he is the only one who has not been scolded by me, even Zhou Tong and Lu Junyi have been scolded by me, and he has never been scolded for losing the public, which can be regarded as his unique glory, but unfortunately, he doesn't understand the value of this glory

And this time, the ministers who were expecting me to scold him were disappointed again

"Yes, it's the crossbow, how did you study?" After calming down for a while, I said to the public loser

"Your Majesty, don't worry, let's do things in Lao Lu, the one who didn't do it that time, the crossbow is outside, I'll get it now." As he spoke, Gong Yi naturally turned around and ran out of the Golden Palace. Alas, I'm helpless to see this

But a few breaths later, the public lost the natural took the new steel crossbow in, after I saw it, walked down the Dan Majesty, came to the side of the public lost nature, carefully observed this steel sniper crossbow that appeared hundreds of years in advance, the crossbow body is about one meter three or so long, the whole body is silvery, the soft steel crossbow bow body is about two inches wide, and the crossbow body is connected with a movable triangle support on both sides, the crossbow bow body can be folded, and the crossbow string and the crossbow bow are connected by a pulley type, with a wide bow body, so that the crossbow arrow can shoot farther, There is a forward handle directly below the crossbow body, which can be used to open the string, and the long crossbow has a two-legged bracket under the crossbow head, which can be used for creeping shooting, and there is also a crosshair on the crossbow body, according to my reminder at the time, the stock, handle and trigger of the modern rifle make this long crossbow extremely modern style of later generations, as a sharp weapon on the battlefield in the future, it will make the decapitation task of the wolf more mysterious and unpredictable, but as a sniper crossbow, it seems to be missing a scope

"Ministry of Engineering, I remember to let you polish a batch of colorless crystal convex lenses?" I said to Xu Liang

"Yes, the emperor, the minister has already polished the crystal mirror and put it in the treasury of the Ministry of Industry." Xu Liang bowed to me and said when he got out of class

"Arrange for someone to bring it immediately."

"Yes, the minister will arrange it." After Xu Liang finished speaking, he said to the officials of the Ministry of Industry: "Zhang Qun, the director of the Ministry of Industry. ”

"The lower official is here."

"You immediately go to the Treasury of the Ministry of Industry Tianzi A Mansion and bring those crystal mirrors."

"The subordinate obeys." Then the Zhang Qun bowed to me, turned around and walked out of the hall

"This crossbow will be called a sniper crossbow in the future, this is the first generation of sniper crossbows, you still need to continue to research, continue to innovate, and strive to make a better sniper crossbow out. As I spoke, I handed the sniper crossbow into Xiaodouzi's hand, not to mention, this sniper crossbow is quite heavy, about twenty pounds

"Ling Aiqing, do you have anything new there?" I turned my head again and asked Ling Zhendao

"Long live, my artillery department according to the last emperor said the gunpowder formula and storage method, the existing gunpowder has been comprehensively improved, the power of gunpowder has been greatly enhanced, and summed up the experience of the war, although the field artillery is huge, but it is very heavy, after testing, the artillery will be reduced in the case of little impact, and made into a cavalry combat cannon that can be dragged by a war horse and can move quickly, and this kind of artillery is not large, plus the gun carriage, The total weight is about two hundred and seventy or eighty pounds. ”

"Oh? Really? "Ling Zhen's words aroused my great interest, the cavalry combat is indeed as fast as the wind, and there is no grass everywhere they pass, but they have a great disadvantage, that is, they cannot carry large siege equipment, and the role of the cavalry will be greatly reduced once the pursued enemy escapes into the city, and the heavy field artillery is extremely heavy, a cannon weighs about 17800 catties, and this cavalry run, but it just solves this huge problem

"How effective was the test launch?" I asked Ling Zhendao

"The maximum effective killing range against infantry and cavalry is about three miles, and it is effective against the city wall within one mile."

"Very well, then let's produce and start equipping the troops, but you also have to hurry up the production of heavy field artillery and mortars." I said

"Yes, I obey."

"Ministry of Industry, is the current warship built under the name of your Ministry of Industry, or is it assigned to the Ordnance Division." I said to Xu Liang again

"Long live Hui, the shipbuilding department is still under the name of our Ministry of Industry." Xu Liang said to me

"Can all ships have hull models?" I asked

"Long live, all warships have hull models."

"Take all the models of battleships to the imperial study after the next dynasty, and bring the best battleship craftsmen in your Ministry of Industry." I said. For the Age of Discovery in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, it was indeed a time of great opportunity, but now, those wild monkeys in the West are still fighting each other for their own chassis and survival, and now it is only ten years of the Song Empire, 1095 A.D., and next August 15 there will be an army known in history as the Poor Man's Crusade to launch the first crusade of the Crusades

After I waved Xu Liang back to his class, I stood up and walked down to His Majesty, and I said to all the ministers, "Ladies and gentlemen, what is the most western place you know. ”

"Your Majesty, the most western minister knows is in the Great Food Country, that country is strong and strong, when the Tang Dynasty had competed with our country for the Western Regions, only because of the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, our country had no time to look westward, so the entire Western Regions region fell into the hands of the Great Food Country and the Tubo State." Su Shi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, said out of class

"Who else knows, let's talk about it." I continued

"Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, my Central Plains region will reach Tianzhu Country if I go west, and my country's civilian merchant ships have also been there, so the minister deduces that the westernmost is in Tianzhu, and although the Great Food Country has been recorded, my country has never really come into contact with it, so whether it exists is still unknown." Cui Wenbo, a scholar of Huagai Temple, also came out of the class and said

"Who else knows."

"Your Majesty, according to records, the westernmost and northernmost point is in Beihai, the land of Suwu shepherding sheep, where it is said that the four seasons are frozen, and there is no grass, and it is actually the most barren place." A bachelor whose name I don't know said. Then one after another, some people said that they were in the Tianshan Mountains, those who were in the Heavenly Pillars, those who were in the Buzhou Mountains, etc., and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on

Later, I couldn't listen anymore, so I interrupted them and said, "The ancients had clouds, and it was better to believe in books, than to have no books." You, except for Su Shi and Cui Wenbo, are all reading the Book of Death and picking up the Heavenly Pillar? Tien Shan? Not Zhoushan? Why don't you say it's at Nantianmen! I have come to tell you. Our country went west past the Xichang Uighurs, past the Black Khanate, where there was a powerful country, his name was the Seljuk Turkic Empire, his capital was called Jade Dragon Jiechi, and the city was called the pearl of the Turks, and further west, there would be another powerful empire, his name was Byzantium, and their capital was Constantinople, which was a city full of knowledge, and further west, that country was called the Roman Empire, and their capital was called Rome City, and the city there was full of mythology. It is completely different from our Central Plains, there is also a sea in the middle of the land, called the Mediterranean, where people call it the last ocean. The Seljuk Turkic State, where the best horses in the world are produced, tall, handsome, load-bearing, fast-running, long-lasting, etc., as long as it is the advantages of the war horses, all of them are reflected in the bodies of those war horses, sweat and blood BMWs, is the breed there. The Byzantine Empire, where we have the copper mines we need the most, is full of shiny gems. The Roman Empire, where there were countless gold, silver, and copper mines, tall and dense forests, and some of the finest natural harbors in the world. We are still very small, so if we want our children and grandchildren not to have a wider land! Tell me out loud what we should do with the rich lands. ”

"Conquer them, and it must become the pasture and arable land of our Han people."

"Yes, we want to win a wider land and living environment for our children and grandchildren."

All the generals were shouting enthusiastically, and Zhou Tong, the secretary of the military department, said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, although the minister is old, he only needs an order from my emperor to live it, and the old minister should be willing to be the pioneer of my emperor." ”

"Your Majesty, the saint has clouds: there is no class in teaching. All the people of the world should be my own brothers, so the minister means that my emperor should make more efforts for the spread of the way of my saints. "Yushitai Zuodu Yushi Ma Kanglai said. However, the old man said that the righteousness Ling Ran, for the sake of the way of the saint to educate the people there, in fact, I saw a flash of light in his eyes, it seems that this old man is also an extremist of all nationalities, or this invader is so high-sounding

I raised my hand to stop the clamoring generals in the court and the civil officials who were going to educate the people there for the sake of the way of the saints, and said: "Ministers, I want to tell you that it must become the pasture and cultivated land of my Han people, and we will all use the sword in our Han hands to obtain land for the plough of the Han people, and when I lead you to conquer there, I am willing to drink wine with you in the Roman Imperial Palace." ”

"The ministers are willing to follow Your Majesty to the death, and drink wine with Your Majesty in the Imperial Palace of the Roman State."
