"It's really wrong to think about Lord Yue! He was an old man dedicated to the country, but in the end he ended up like that, which really chilled our loyal ministers and generals of the Great Song Dynasty, and even more chilled the common people, listening to my grandfather, when we northerners heard the news of the killing of Prince Yue, many people cried and fainted, but Jin Jun celebrated with his forehead, happy as the New Year!

This is really the bitterness of relatives and enemies! If the Great Song Dynasty hadn't killed Prince Yue, it would have taken a few more years to recover his homeland, but unfortunately since the death of Prince Yue and their generals, the recall of the recall, the good opportunity has been lost, so that the Jin State completely occupied the Central Plains!

The last time the Great Song Dynasty raised troops for the Northern Expedition during the Kaiju period, it was a pity that Han Yanxuan and Lord Han had great momentum, but in the end they still failed to succeed, but lost their lives!

Anyway, some people say that Han Yanxuan is a traitor, but the little one thinks that for the matter of Zhaoxue for Prince Yue, this Han Yanxuan can be regarded as a great good thing! There is also the prince who took away Qin Hui's old son from Han Yanxuan and named him a fallacious ugly, which can be regarded as a good thing for a large number of people's hearts! I think anyway! Is this Han Yanxuan a traitor, at least he knows who is a good guy and who is a bad guy! Qin Hu didn't care about Gao Huaiyuan's words, and the interface continued.

Gao Huaiyuan nodded slightly, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people! Although Han Yanxuan is the minister of power, but in this matter, he still has a good impression of Han Yanxuan, it seems that there are not a few people in the world who have the same opinion as him, this is the people's heart!

It's a pity that Han Yanxuan miscalculated the situation, and even more misused people, coupled with insufficient preparation, so that at the wrong time, in the wrong place, and with the wrong people, it led to the huge failure of the Kaixi Northern Expedition, so that even his own life was put into it, and the strength accumulated by the Southern Song Dynasty for many years was wasted.

"Qin Hui's sin is so high in the sky, ten thousand deaths are not enough to redeem it, and it is at the beginning that he sings evil plots to mislead the country, and in the middle, he is holding the power to the king,...... And the disadvantages of the last stream, the descendants of the bereaved monarch, as for such an extreme, he has a reputation of being ugly after death, which is well deserved!

Compared to King Yue and Qin Hui, Han did a good job, which is admirable! It's just that he was too eager for quick success, which led to the tragedy afterward, which is suffocating! Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and quoted the ancients' evaluation of Qin Hui.

"By the way, young master, I heard about something, I'm afraid you will be angry and blow up your lungs when you say it! Two days ago, I heard in the city that the current celebrity right minister Shi Miyuan Shi Privy Envoy was actually trying to find a way to correct Qin Hui's name, trying to bring Qin Hui out again, which really annoyed me! If the mother lets the master see this guy, she will definitely knock him over with a punch and break his tendons and bones! Obviously, now everyone in the world has ruthlessed Qin Hui to the extreme, and this guy still wants to do this, doesn't it make the people of the world feel cold? Judge said suddenly.

When Gao Huaiyuan and the others heard this, they were really angry, and they scolded one after another, and of course Gao Huaiyuan knew who Shi Miyuan was, this guy is now a figure who covers the sky in the middle of the court, among the traitors of the Southern Song Dynasty, although there is no such guy in the traitorous records, but in essence, this guy is the most serious one for the Southern Song Dynasty during the years of power, and it can be said that he has to bear very important responsibility for the final destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty.

And he had heard from his father Gao Jian before, Shi Miyuan is also a smart person, he often does not come out to directly harm people, but he always controls the words of the court, and he is a super yin person, this guy overturned the case for Qin Hui, I am afraid that it is not because he sympathizes with or likes Qin Hui, but has a deeper level.

People like this who want to overturn the case for Qin Hui, speaking of which, there are many people in later generations, even in the 21st century where he lived in his previous life, there are still a group of unscrupulous so-called historians who are still overturning the case for Qin Hui, a big traitor, and it is not strange that there is a Shi Miyuan now.

Gao Huaiyuan held a feather arrow, and with a force on hand, he broke the feather arrow made of hardwood into two pieces, and secretly cursed, "Dog thief!" "But there's no way to be angry, after all, Shi Miyuan is now a powerful minister in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he is now a little Jiupin Baoyilang who has no position, what can he do with him?

"Shut up, everybody! Remember that trouble comes from the mouth, now Shi Miyuan is a red and purple figure in our Great Song Dynasty, powerful, you can talk about these things between us, but you must not talk about this matter in front of outsiders, let alone scold this guy, otherwise, once you meet someone with ill intentions, just report to the government, I am afraid that our Crouching Tiger Village will be swept away by the official army!

Don't forget what I said, we definitely can't afford to provoke that kind of character now, if we only want to be quick in the mouth, it is really unwise to cause the disaster of killing, just do what we should do, for this kind of thing we can't control, it's better to say less! Gao Huaiyuan suddenly became vigilant, and then immediately opened his mouth to stop the people who were scolding Shi Miyuan, and ordered them.

Everyone saw that Gao Huaiyuan said solemnly, so they stopped scolding one after another, and thought about what Gao Huaiyuan said was not bad, scolding like this, although he was happy, but it didn't play a role, once it was spread, it would only cause trouble to Gao Huaiyuan, and it would cause trouble, in that case, I would really be sorry for Gao Huaiyuan! So everyone nodded their heads, agreed, and didn't mention the matter again.

Bypassing this topic, Gao Huaiyuan pulled the topic back to the bow and crossbow, and said to everyone: "Martial arts, not only is Kong Wu powerful, as the saying goes, the bow and horse are skilled, everyone must work hard in this archery, don't just be busy practicing sword and gun kung fu, and ignore the archery art!"

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, I have lost the land of horses, and surrounded by strong enemies, and most of these strong neighbors are mainly cavalry, the war infantry army of the past dynasties is at a disadvantage to the cavalry, and the only thing that can resist it is only the bow and crossbow, so the Song army generally attaches great importance to the crossbowmen, we are powerless to change this fact, so we should also practice archery diligently, once you can go into battle to kill the enemy!

At present, although we have a bow, but archery requires a long time of training to reach a certain level, and many of those strong neighbors are nomads, since childhood with bows and arrows as companions, in terms of archery alone, we still can't take advantage, and most of the Song people do not know archery, temporary practice is not good at all, so the crossbow is the biggest advantage of our Song people.

Now it's not enough for us to be able to make bows, Qin Hu will have to find a way to make some crossbows in the future, we all have these things, and they must be excellent! Gao Huaiyuan continued.

Qin Hu couldn't see through this Gao Huaiyuan, it stands to reason that Gao Huaiyuan is no longer in the army now, and now he is already a fairly rich man, he shouldn't be so addicted to the army, but Gao Huaiyuan seems to be deliberately cultivating a group of his own strength, which is a bit strange!

But thinking of this, Qin Hu immediately dispelled this idea of his own, now his fate has been tied to Gao Huaiyuan, no matter what Gao Huaiyuan wants to do, he will follow him to the end, and now if he wants to gain a foothold in Crouching Tiger Village, he must come up with some real skills.

So he immediately bowed down and said, "Young master, don't worry, this matter will be handled by the little one!" It's just that the crossbow arm crossbow body is easy to say, and the small ones can ask Zhou Steward (Zhou Lao Wu) to help them do it together, but the crossbow machine is more troublesome to make, and there are not many small crossbows in the past, and the crossbow machine should be built by a special person, which is not easy to obtain, and please arrange it for the young master, and ask Tiezuo to help make the crossbow machine! ”

"This is easy to say, the resources in Zhuangzi can be called as long as you need it, let Zhou Hao do it with you! Now there is no hurry, let's start with the two stone crossbows and take it step by step! And we also saw the power of the bed crossbow in front of the army, although it is not necessarily necessary to do it, but it is best to explore it and see if it can be improved, as light as possible, and easier to transport! You are in charge of these things, and when necessary, I can transfer some of your manpower to set up a bow and crossbow workshop to take care of this matter! Gao Huaiyuan nodded in agreement.

"Young master, if you talk about crossbows, the small ones like the kind of divine arm crossbows used in the army, among all the crossbowmen, the machine crossbow held by them is the most powerful of this kind of divine arm crossbow, three hundred steps away to kill people, it is impossible to prevent it, even if you are wearing heavy armor, you can't escape death, if we can also create a divine arm crossbow, then it will be cool to the sky! Let's see who dares to provoke us, one arrow will kill him! Hum! As soon as the crossbow was mentioned, Zhao Tong became interested, when he used to serve in the army with Gao Huaiyuan, he was a crossbowmen, and he was more familiar with the performance of various crossbows.

Of course, Gao Huaiyuan also knows such a thing as a divine arm crossbow, and he also admires the wisdom of the craftsmen of the Song people, and it is really not easy to make such a powerful crossbow with simple materials!

"It's really good, if you make a crossbow, it's still the best god arm crossbow, this kind of machine crossbow is small in Shen Kuo Shen's "Mengxi Pen Talk" is recorded, and the "Wujing General Essentials" written by Shenzong is also separately stated, this crossbow is used in the mountain mulberry wood as the arm, sandalwood as the body, hemp as the string, iron as the chamber, steel as the machine, light and strong, the range is extremely long, and later in the hands of Han Shizhong Han Marshal was also improved, the range is longer, that is, the god arm crossbow used in the army now, it is really powerful, I just don't know if Brother Qin can also make such a divine arm crossbow, if we can have this kind of thing, we are really not afraid of anyone! Judge began to play with what he had learned from the book again, shaking his head and talking to the crowd.

Qin Hu shook his head and said: "I also know the Divine Arm Crossbow, when I used to fight with the Jin Army, what I was most afraid of encountering was the Divine Arm Crossbow or the Bed Crossbow in the Song Army, but I haven't seen this thing, if there is a real thing, I can try to see if I can imitate it, the crossbow I will make is an ordinary wooden crossbow, far less powerful than the Divine Arm Crossbow!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan thought for a moment, then nodded and assured Qin Hu: "You don't have to worry about this, I'll find a way to get you two or three Divine Arm Crossbows back for your reference, leave this matter to me!" ”

As everyone spoke, they returned in the direction of Zhuangzi, and the hounds ran with them excitedly, and this kind of hunting was also a relaxing thing for them, so the hounds were also very excited.

In his opinion, the development of cold weapons has basically reached its peak in this period, and there is not much room for development if you want to use physical power to further improve, and even if the bed crossbow is powerful, there are some inherent weaknesses, such as bulky and abnormal, and it is inconvenient to transport; There are too many operators to fire, it takes time and effort to reload, and it is not easy to aim, and other shortcomings are not what he really wants.

And with the development of science and technology in this era, gunpowder will gradually become the master of the battlefield, and in the end he wants those powerful firearms, and with the various resources he currently has, he has basically the possibility of trial production of this weapon, after all, the most primitive artillery, has now appeared, in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Ande Chen Gui invented bamboo made of bamboo*, and the prototype of the body firearm has appeared, so Gao Huaiyuan is confident, as long as he does it himself, within a short period of time, He will be able to preliminarily try to produce his own first metal cannon in the world, and when the time comes, he is really not afraid of anyone!

Gao Huaiyuan was sorting out the information about the use of gunpowder in his heart, thinking about when he would start to officially put his plan into action, and at the same time calculating what type of firearms to make with gunpowder, and what type of firearms could be used to effectively stop the attack of the terrible Mongolian cavalry, everyone returned to Crouching Tiger Village.

Gao Huaiyuan is still not very satisfied with the telescope in his hand at present, after all, in his opinion, the glass with good transparency still cannot reach the purity of optical glass, and the image imaging is not very clear, and the best telescope he has at the moment, the magnification is only about three times, the effect is still limited, the production process of the lens is not mature enough, and so on, so that his telescope cannot achieve the ideal effect.

However, Gao Huaiyuan did not give up, and decided to find another way, while continuing to use glass for trial production, and sending people to the market to find natural colorless crystals as a substitute, using artificial grinding lenses to replace glass, so that the production of lenses can be well controlled.

In this way, the process is more complicated, and the cost will increase a lot, but Gao Huaiyuan is not bad money now, this little money can still be spent, plus crystal is not a scarce commodity on the market, there are still a lot of places where crystal is produced in China, and a lot of colorless transparent crystal of good quality can still be purchased, the only pity is that the famous origin of crystal Haizhou (Lianyungang Donghai County) seems to be occupied by the gold country at the moment, otherwise, send people where to engage in some crystal mining, it is also a matter of making a fortune.

But everything has an accident, soon the opportunity is really coming, just when Gao Huaiyuan was still pondering this matter, soon that is, the following year in the twelfth year of Jiading, Haizhou returned to the Southern Song Dynasty, and there was really this opportunity again, but the crystal problem, quickly spent money to solve, and also found something to do for the two craftsmen who are proficient in jewelry carving in Crouching Tiger Village, and the two began to ponder the crystal lenses all day long, and found a way to make telescope lenses for Gao Huaiyuan.

In addition to being busy with these things, Gao Huaiyuan has been paying attention to the movements of the Mongols in the north for more than half a year, and he even spares no expense to collect all the information about the Mongols.

Here, Jin Xuanzong, the emperor of the Jin State, had nothing to do after Yan Xun was full, and mobilized all the resources to launch a fierce attack on the Southern Song Dynasty in Sichuan and Xijing Road, and did not think about going against the Mongols at all, but Genghis Khan was not idle, that is, when the Jin army attacked Zaoyang for the second time, he once again sent troops to the Jin State in the north of the Jin State, headed by Mu Huali, dispatched tens of thousands of horse infantry troops, and took the Shanxi Taiyuan, Fenzhou, Jiangzhou, Pingyang (Linfen) and other places of the Jin State like a broken bamboo, and almost robbed most of Shanxi, but Jin Xuanzong finished Yan Xun and was still entangled with the Southern Song Dynasty without knowing that he was dead.

By the way, Gao Huaiyuan also heard a news, that is, in March at the beginning of the eleventh year of Jiading, the Western Xia also sent envoys to try to negotiate peace with the Jin State, and the two countries re-repaired and boycotted the army, which is also a manifestation that the Western Xia party members have understood a little, after all, after the Western Xia Kingdom depended on the Mongols, it fought for many years, and the gains outweighed the losses, resulting in the decline of the national strength. In March, he wanted to negotiate peace with Jin, and sent a letter to the retainers of Jin's Baoan, Suide, and Jiazhou, asking for the restoration of the border mutual market, the cessation of the bad relations between the two countries, the repair of relations between the two countries, and the cultivation of life and conspiration to resist the army of Genghis Khan against the Mongols.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Jin Guo! But he didn't think that the gold lord Wan Yan Xun, the world's greatest pig-headed emperor, actually refused without saying a word, and claimed to destroy the Western Xia Kingdom, which was good, and gave up a chance for the Jin Kingdom to survive in vain.

And Li Zunxuan, the Divine Sect of the Western Xia Kingdom, saw the attitude of the gold lord Wan Yan Xun, and got it! Since you don't agree, and you still want to continue to get along with Western Xia, then it's okay, isn't your Jin Kingdom a bull fork now? The north is against Mongolia, and in the south, you are looking for trouble in the Southern Song Dynasty, and now it is estimated that you will not be busy, so I will continue to give you a guy!

The result was that after the Xixia Kingdom failed to negotiate peace, he immediately turned his face and denied people, and continued to send troops to attack the Jin State. By the way, there is also a crusade against the Red Jacket Army in Shandong, and the entire Jin Kingdom can be said to be embattled, and there is almost no place on the periphery that does not fight!
