Chapter 108 Taiyuan City is in trouble
Zheng Wu and Shen Wen took a devastation bullet and ignited it, and threw it into the middle depression, but because the arm strength of the two people was not as strong as Zhao Ming, the two devastation bullets exploded three or four meters away from the center of the depression, and for a while the dust was flying, and everyone felt the ground under their feet tremble.
Li Gang and Sun Fu leaned side by side, and the two of them were actually clenched into fists with both hands at this time, biting their lips with their teeth, excited! Li Gang and Sun Fu are excited, what is this, this is an artifact! The armor of the Song soldiers, the weapons, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, including the horses, are inferior to the Jin soldiers, but only this breaking bullet is not possessed by the Jin soldiers!
Although Zheng Wu and Shen Wen desperately ran towards Zhao Ming and them after igniting it, in the end, because of the physical problem, they had to lie down nearby, and the power of the two breaking bullets made the two people obviously feel that the explosion was deafening!
The two men had five or six minutes after the explosion to get up ghostly, and the two men looked at each other with gray faces, but they hugged each other and shouted, "Good! Okay! The Destruction Bullet is much more powerful than the Thunderbolt Fireball! That's great! We make zuò! ”
The two of them completely forgot that they didn't even grasp the recipe for making zuò broken bullets, Zhao Ming and the others were also quite infected when they looked at Zheng Wu and Shen Wen with a happy look, Zhao Ming sighed and said: "These two people are really for my Great Song Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, Sun Shangshu!" ”
Sun Fu immediately leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is here!" ”
"Do you know how to make the task of 200,000 broken shells in 20 days?"
Sun Fu was stunned for a moment, and said: "Please make it clear to the emperor!" ”
Zhao Huan said: "You have full responsibility. It should also be noted that all the personnel involved in the manufacture of the ammunition should not leave this gunpowder kiln until the soldiers have retreated, and the soldiers should be protected outside. Fence the whole kiln and remember to shoot me down if a bird flies in the sky! ”
Sun Fu really wanted to ask why. But looking at Zhao Ming's stern expression, he could only give up, because in Sun Fu's heart, he actually found that he seemed to have begun to be a little afraid of the little emperor!
Zheng Wu and Shen Wen had already come to Zhao Ming's side at this time, and the faces of the two of them were much calmer, but the two of them stood by Zhao Ming's side honestly, and they didn't even dare to breathe!
Zhao Ming smiled: "Isn't it enjoyable? Do you want another one to have a good time? “
Zheng Wu and Shen Wen leaned over together and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are already satisfied, the emperor's formula has been changed, I didn't expect it to have such an effect!" “
Li Gang said on the side: "It is better to believe in a book than to have no book, it seems that this Zeng Gongliang's book killed two skilled craftsmen who made gunpowder!" “
Zhao Ming looked at Li Gang. I wanted to say something, but in the end I didn't say anything, I just turned to Sun Fu and said: "In the past two days, you have opened a shelf here first, remember to block the news, and no one is allowed to enter this place without permission, otherwise there will be no mercy!" “
Sun Fu, Zheng Wu and Shen Wenlian leaned over and promised.
Zhao Ming took Li Gang, Cao Yu and others to leave the gunpowder kiln and return to the palace!
Zhao Ming returned to Qianfu Palace, and as soon as he sat down, Li Gang came in!
Before Zhao Ming could speak, Li Gang leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, the fact that the bullet was broken is the blessing of the country!" “
Zhao Ming glanced at Li Gang with a smile and said, "He Qingyan has news?" “
Li Gang naturally understood what Zhao Ming meant. He replied: "According to yesterday's report, more than half of the yak has been raised!" “
Zhao Ming nodded and said, "Actually, I started to be very unhappy today, but does Prime Minister Li know why?" “
Li Gang leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, I am burdened by the cost of armaments in the Great Song Dynasty. It's a hundred years of tiredness, so please make it clear to the emperor! “
Zhao Ming sneered: "A broken felt hat, a broken gun that can be broken with force." A set of armor that can smash holes with stones, how can such equipment defeat other people's Jin Ge iron clothing? How can it be? “
Li Gang hesitated for a moment. Then he said: "In fact, this is not the backwardness of my Great Song Dynasty foundry industry, but mainly because the funds for our army's casting have been poorly supplied. So in order to save on the military, so..."
Zhao Ming was furious: "Prime Minister, I want to ask if there is anything more important than armament in our Great Song Dynasty?" “
As soon as Li Gang saw Zhao Minghuo, he suddenly felt fear in his heart, Li Gang knelt down on his knees and said: "Your Majesty, the tribute silver paid by my Great Song Dynasty to Western Xia and Daliao every year is a large amount, and the indemnity this spring has made the treasury empty, and now the treasury funds are really stretched!" “
Zhao Ming sat there and looked at Li Gang without saying a word.
Seeing that Zhao Ming was silent, Li Gang had no choice but to continue: "Every year, the Emperor Taishang needs to purchase a large number of gold and stone raw materials, and the cost of refining the golden pill and the palace is huge! “
Zhao Ming sighed faintly and said, "It seems that some things are not within your control!" “
Li Gang took a breath and said: "Actually, Qin Hui had looked for the old minister last night, because after verification, he actually found that there were many slaves in the princely general's mansion in the city, and some of them were indeed rewarded by the emperor to the meritorious ministers, but most of them were embezzled by the subordinates in order to save the expenses in the palace, and some even took it for thirty or forty years!" “
"Get up and speak!" Zhao Ming said secretly: "It seems that the Great Song Dynasty has really reached the point where it is indispensable, there are so many salaries in the airspace, no wonder there are more and more soldiers, but there are fewer and fewer soldiers who can fight!" “
Thinking of this, Zhao Ming glanced at Li Gangyan and said, "What do you and Qin Hui think this matter should do?" “
Li Gang said: "Now is the time for the treasury to use silver, Qin Hui and his ministers agreed to let those princes, close relatives of the royal family and ministers refund the money, but they were afraid that those people would refuse to pay, so they had to ask the emperor to decide!" “
Zhao Ming stood up, paced around the hall, and finally said, "It's okay, do it this way." You ask Qin Hui to hurry up and draw up the list of all the princes and generals in Bianjing City, as well as the number of people and money to receive the airspace, before tomorrow! “
Li Gang didn't dare to ask why at this time, just nodded!
Zhao Ming continued: "In addition, I don't think I need to choose a day anymore, inform Li Tianjian that I will go to the Taimiao Temple tomorrow to worship the ancestors and ancestors, and all the princes and ministers in Bianjing City will participate, there must be no mistake!" Speaking of this, Zhao Ming remembered something, and said: "However, Sun Fu will be exempted, let him stay there and make it for me!" “
Li Gang nodded in promise. Zhao Ming waved his hand to signal that Li Gang could retreat!
After Li Gang left, Zhao Ming leaned on the dragon chair alone and closed his eyes, because Zhao Ming really felt tired, Zhao Ming suddenly realized that the sudden defeat of the Great Song Dynasty was actually an inevitability, a country has developed to the point that the army has paid so much, and a large amount of silver has been misappropriated, and the country's defense capability can be imagined! Zhao Ming felt sad!
Because Zhao Ming knew that if he really wanted to revitalize the Great Song Dynasty, it would not only be a matter of defeating the Jin soldiers, but he would have to deal with internal affairs.
Zhao Ming was really tired, he thought about it, and he was snoring!
Just when Zhao Ming was snoring and falling asleep, in a big mansion in Taiyuan City, Wanyan Zonghan was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. The general Wan Yan Lou Room smiled and said, "Isn't the eldest prince a little thirsty, wait for me to go out and find you a little fun?" “
Wanyan Zonghan opened his eyes and glanced at Wanyan Lou coldly, and said: "Most of the soldiers and civilians in the entire Taiyuan City have died, where is there any fun, just think about Zhang Xiaochun, he is a little evil, if this old boy surrenders the city early, why is this?" Wanyan Lou Room said with a smile: "Now that the Eastern Route Army is conquering the Pingding Army, I think it is better for me to lead a team of soldiers and horses to cooperate with the second prince to win Pingding, and our two armies can agree on a plan to punish the Song Dynasty in Pingding, I don't know what the eldest prince thinks?" “
Wanyan Zonghan lay on the bed with his eyes closed and pondered silently for five or six minutes before he slowly spoke: "It's okay, you immediately have 10,000 cavalry reinforcements to Pingding, and after capturing the Pingding army, I will personally go to Pingding to meet the second prince and others!" “
Wanyan Lou Room nodded and promised to turn around and leave, but Wan Yan Zonghan stopped Wan Yan Lou Room who wanted to leave and said: "By the way, Lao Tzu is really uncomfortable lying down, you take the soldiers and horses to wander around the street first to see if there are any young ladies who can look good, get one back, Lao Tzu wants to break the fast!" “
Wan Yan Lou nodded with a smile and said, "I'll do it!" “
Wanyan Lou knows his eldest prince too well, the fierce Wanyan Zonghan is a wild wolf, and he is the kind of wild wolf who loves women. But I haven't found a woman in Taiyuan City who has made Wanyan Zonghan feel interested!
Wanyan Lou knew that since Wanyan Zonghan had given him this task today, he had to handle this matter well.
Wanyan Lou Room was not stupid enough to go to the street to ride a horse to find a girl for Wan Yan Zonghan, because Wan Yan Lou Room knew that it was almost impossible for Han women to wander around on Taiyuan Street today, because there were still many people in Taiyuan City who hated Jin Bing!
After returning to the camp, he immediately assigned five centurions to take the golden soldiers to start a search of all the streets and households, and as soon as he found a young beauty, he immediately brought them back to the camp, if there was a purple person, the little daughter-in-law could also do it!
In less than an hour, the five centurions came back with a dozen crying girls, including a little daughter-in-law holding a child!
Wan Yan Lou Room was attracted by the face of the little daughter-in-law holding the child at a glance, white and tender skin, dignified and beautiful face, even the figure is uneven, the lines are smooth and natural!
Wan Yan Lou slapped his palms and laughed: "The five of you are doing things well, and this general will reward you!" “
After speaking, Yan Lou Room stared at the dozen or so little girls with beastly eyes, and looked at them carefully one by one, he still felt that the little daughter-in-law holding the child was beautiful from the beginning to the end!
Wanyan Lou slowly walked to the little daughter-in-law holding the child and smiled: "What's your name?" “
The little daughter-in-law, like the little girls who were escorted together, was frightened and said in a bold voice: "The slave king Zhang greets the general!" (To be continued......)
