Chapter 22 Martial Arts

After hearing this, Liu Dayong was in ecstasy at first, but immediately frowned and asked: My lord! The household department is under the jurisdiction of the surname Zheng, let's rely on this, can the household department honestly allocate the money to the military department? He had already heard that Zheng Qingzhi led a group of idlers to shoot bricks for Gao Huaiyuan, and this time it involved the issue of the household department's allocation of money, and he was worried that Zheng Qingzhi would get in the way and not allocate money to the military department.

Gao Huaiyuan nodded and said: You are right, but you don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own operation, and I don't dare not give it to him! That's all there is to say, I'll give you half a year, and I'll arrest all the courtyards in various places, and the quality of the armor will be greatly improved!

Also, you asked all localities to produce more gunpowder and store it in large quantities in case of emergency! This time we are in the Northern Expedition, you have also seen several things, gunpowder will completely change the way of fighting in the future, in short, for the production of these things, we must put the top priority!

I listed a few things, you first take them and let the Mingzhou Capital Institute start to manufacture them in large quantities, among which the horsetail earth-shaking thunder used in Jizhou, as well as mines, rockets and other things must be vigorously produced, and then handed over to the front division of the palace to be stored in a unified manner, and this thing can be used in the future battle!

In addition, increase the production of the divine arm crossbow, this thing has a long range, can suppress the bows and arrows of the Mongolian Tatar cavalry, let the bow and crossbow courtyard increase the production quantity, and let the Jiangnan West Road, Fujian Road, Jinghu South Road and several roads all make more rattan cards, and the effect of the knife sharpener against the enemy cavalry is also quite good!

All localities have to strengthen the production of bed crossbows, and then deliver a large number of equipment to the cities along the river, this thing is very effective in defending the city, once the enemy invades the south, these things will make them taste powerful!

Gao Huaiyuan took out a list he had written, which was full of all kinds of high-efficiency weapons on the battlefield that he had listed, and handed it to Liu Dayong and instructed him.

When Liu Dayong heard this, he immediately straightened his waist and said: "Accept the order, please rest assured, as long as the household department does not get in the way, the lowly position will definitely be taken within half a year, and all places will be taken as hospitals!" After that, I had to say goodbye and go about it immediately.

Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly greeted him and said: Slow down, come back! I haven't finished my sentence yet, what are you anxious about!

Liu Dayong hurriedly turned around and came back, listening to Gao Huaiyuan's other orders.

Remember, this matter we are stealing beams and changing pillars, although we can do it, but we can't do it with fanfare, and you can't do it too much, so that all places have a buffer time, especially to explain their heads, we must focus on finding ways to recruit more skilled craftsmen, eliminate those temporarily recruited people, and over time can the quality of the armor be greatly improved, the imperial front of the Beijing division should be enshrined there, you don't want to fight their ideas, the armor produced there is used by the inner court, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Works, Let's not bother them! Just find a way to dig out some of the craftsmen in the Imperial Palace, and don't have any conflicts with the Ministry of Works! Gao Huaiyuan continued to command.

Liu Dayong immediately understood, bared his teeth and said with a smile: I understand the lowly position, only dig people, and don't move them! Hey!

Gao Huaiyuan casually took off the Tang knife given to him by the Sanshan Sanren on the wall behind him, and when he pressed the tension spring, a dragon groan suddenly sounded in the lobby, and then a cold light flashed out of the sheath, and Liu Dayong's saliva flowed when he saw it.

As early as hundreds of years ago, the skilled craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty made such sharp weapons, but I didn't expect that after our Song Dynasty, it was becoming less and less as before!

How many crafts have long been lost, so much so that the hand knives we use now are far inferior to these Tang knives hundreds of years ago! However, these crafts were transmitted to the small Wa Kingdom in the East, and they were carried forward, allowing them to forge sharp Wa knives!

When I think of this, I feel a sigh! I think I have a lot of skilled craftsmen in the Great Song Dynasty, but the weapons I cast are not even as good as the Japanese swords of the Eastern Ying Kingdom, which really makes me ashamed! If this continues, sooner or later our Huaxia will decline!

It seems that this matter is just a struggle for power, but Dayong, you have to remember that this matter is related to the revitalization of our Han people, as well as the revitalization of our various skills, and I hope that one day, we can still see our craftsmen forge such sharp blades again!

I'll leave this knife with you for the time being, and I'll give you another Flowing Cloud Scimitar, and you can take it with you, hoping that one day when you can return this dragon scale knife, and give me a few knives that surpass it, then you will live up to my expectations of you!"

Liu Dayong was thrilled when he heard this, stretched out his hands and knelt down to take the dragon scale treasure knife in Gao Huaiyuan's hand, looked at it carefully, then put the knife into the sheath, and took a Liuyun scimitar handed to him by Gao Huaiyuan, and at the same time matched it on his waist, and then nodded solemnly and said: I have written down the words of the adult, and the lord will never dare to live up to the adult's trust, and he will do his best to handle this matter well! It's just that Xia Guan still has some things, and I want to ask my lord!

Gao Huaiyuan nodded and said: You say!

Xia Guan is a military general! I promise to do my best to do this, but don't just leave me in the military department and do this for the rest of my life! If one day, the adults have to lead the army to the battle, but don't forget the last general! Fighting with adults is a great joy in life, even if the last general is allowed to act as a pawn and die on the battlefield, the last general will never complain! Liu Dayong said with a worried face.

Gao Huaiyuan suddenly became happy, patted Liu Dayong on the shoulder and smiled: You guy, okay! I promise you yes, but only if you do this well, and then wait until someone can take over your affairs, and then it's not too late for you to come back and lead the troops! I can give you some craftsmen who are familiar with this way, you let them be your subordinates, do these things to get twice the result with half the effort, and pass on Qin Hu over!

With Gao Huaiyuan's order, Li Ruohu immediately brought out a burly middle-aged man from the back hall, this person is Qin Hu who was collected by Gao Huaiyuan in Daye County that year, this time when Gao Huaiyuan came back from Jingdong, he sent someone to recall Qin Hu to the capital, he also just arrived here, and Gao Huaiyuan handed him over to Liu Dayong.

The grass people see Lord Taiwei! Qin Hu pretended not to be familiar with Gao Huaiyuan, and as soon as he came out, he knelt down to give Gao Huaiyuan a gift.

Excuse me! Get up and speak! Liu Dayong, this person's name is Qin Hu, he is a great talent I recruited in Jingdong, he is familiar with the matter of armor supervision, and he will follow you to do things in the future! As for what official title you arrange for him, that's your business, and he still has some skilled craftsmen under him, so I'll hand them over to you! In the future, after the merger of the capital of the Ministry of War, it will be collectively referred to as the Ordnance Bureau, and the various Academies will be renamed the Ordnance Institute of the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War will be in charge! Qin Hu, you should still give Lord Liu a salute! Gao Huaiyuan waved his hand to let Qin Hu get up and introduced Liu Dayong.

Liu Dayong naturally didn't dare to underestimate the person recommended to him by Gao Huaiyuan, so he hurriedly greeted Qin Hu, and after a little talk, he said goodbye to Gao Huaiyuan and left the Privy Council to go to the military department.

After Gao Huaiyuan sent Liu Dayong away, he immediately set up a table of banquets in Zuixian Building, and sent someone to Zheng Qingzhi's mansion to send an invitation, and also sent an invitation to Zhuo Houlin, who is currently the head of the household department, and invited the two of them to a banquet together.

Just when Gao Huaiyuan saw that the time was almost about to get up and go to the Drunken Immortal Tower to wait for Zheng Qingzhi and Zhuo Houlin, a person blocked his way.

Adults go slowly, and the officials have something to discuss with adults!

Gao Huaiyuan seems to be not an outsider, but the current free rider and doctor of martial arts, Hua Yuehua.

Oh? Why is Brother Hua so idle today, and he actually came to me? How's your progress over there? Gao Huaiyuan immediately asked Hua Yue with a smile.

Hua Yue's face was quite bad, and he and Gao Huaiyuan didn't talk so much etiquette between him, so he sat down and said in a muffled voice: Don't mention the matter of martial arts, the previous batch of martial arts students who were trained with great difficulty have now been awarded officers and distributed to the army, and this time I plan to expand the number of martial arts students, but those old scholars of Taixue scoffed, saying that I was full of food, and few of the students were willing to enter martial arts, so that I was busy for half a month, and only received a few students!

Moreover, the treatment of martial arts students is much lower than that of other students in Taixue, if it wasn't for the last time you were personally selected in the army, I'm afraid it would be difficult to recruit five hundred students! The current students are very powerful, and it is not easy for martial arts to enter the official, so they don't enter martial arts, even if they are interested, they just ask me to borrow some military books, and it can be said that no one wants to enter martial arts at all!

It seems that if it goes on like this, it won't be long before martial arts will be disbanded and pulled down like in the early years of the Northern Dynasty! Hua Yue said angrily.

So his words immediately aroused Gao Huaiyuan's attention, martial arts arose in the Northern Song Dynasty Qingli three years, the Song court placed martial arts in the Wucheng Wang Temple, with Ruan Yi as a professor of martial arts, it can be said with great certainty that the Song court during this period, was trying to establish and improve a military attache selection system.

However, contrary to expectations, martial arts are not so attractive, and no one wants to enroll as a martial arts student. In this regard, Fan Zhongyan, who is a governor of political affairs, said to Emperor Shu: The country has established martial arts, but no one is willing to enroll, and in the long run, I am afraid that the enemy country will think that there are no heroes in our country. Instead of abolishing the name of martial arts by order, if there is a student who likes the art of war, the official of the prison can guarantee that he can secretly read the military book. As a result, China's (and perhaps the world's) first school dedicated to training military personnel existed for just over 90 days before it was forced to end its mission.
