Chapter 1004 The thunderbolt fireball was shocked

Zhao Ming looked at everyone silently, and couldn't help but continue to speak; "If the February attack on the camp is an unimaginable and frenzied thing, then yesterday afternoon's Wanfuxiang teahouse fire case really woke up my head, in fact, there is no need for the cavalry of the Dajin Kingdom to attack my Bianjing, so that these enemies hidden within us can take my head without knowing it!"

Although Li Gang and Sun Fu didn't know much about yesterday afternoon's incident, they definitely inquired clearly and understood, and now seeing Zhao Ming take the initiative to mention it, the two of them also possessed themselves together and said: "My emperor is deeply blessed, fortunately thanks to the blessing of God, I can escape the catastrophe!" “

Zhao Ming sneered: "I don't see it that way, in fact, the people who wanted to kill me yesterday were far more than the gang of people who set fire to the Wanfuxiang Teahouse, and even the gang of people who ambushed me in front of the Wanfuxiang Teahouse are not good people!" “

Cao Xi interjected at this time: "Your Majesty, aren't they a group of people?" “

Zhao Ming shook his head and said: "Instinct sue me, they are definitely not a group of people, do you think if they recognized me, would they have set fire at the beginning" It shows that the first group of arsonists did not know me, but the gang of people who ambushed me in front of the teahouse seemed to know me! “

Li Gang, Sun Fu and Cao Xi all nodded.

Zhao Ming continued: "This shows that there are still their internal lines in the palace, I really didn't expect that there were people in the imperial city who were two hearts with me hidden in the palace, and I left the palace twice, but the news was leaked." Therefore, I came to send the old general today, including the location of the old general's ambush of the golden soldiers in the future, and I don't dare to say it lightly now. Because I really don't know who I should trust and who I should suspect? Imagine that Yao Pingzhong's 20,000 Western Army was not wiped out. What a valuable asset is that for our entire court? “

Li Gang sighed and said: "Even the old general of the Seed Division Dao has an opinion on me about the attack on the camp in February, and it seems that I am in a hurry, and this operation has been advanced so that the elite of the 20,000 Western Army has been exhausted!" “

Zhao Ming nodded and said: "If this guy is not cleared, we are really struggling, I don't know when I will be betrayed, in this case, I will really become a prisoner of the Jin soldiers sooner or later!" “

Li Gang and Sun Fu glanced at each other, but they were silent.

Zhao Ming suddenly thought of something, turned his head to Li Gang and said, "What is the power of the Thunderbolt artillery?" “

Li Gang was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of Zhao Ming's words. At the moment, he said: "If the Thunderbolt artillery is used in large quantities, I am afraid it will be difficult to promote, but if it is used occasionally, it can still be tried?" "Why?" Zhao Ming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, he was very unhappy, because in Zhao Ming's opinion, it was almost impossible to improve the combat effectiveness of the Song army and the combat ability of the cavalry in a short period of time, and the combat ability of the Song army in cavalry combat was far inferior to that of the Jin soldiers, there was no doubt about this, thinking of this, Zhao Ming sighed. Originally, he pinned his hopes on the Thunderbolt artillery. And now that Li Gang has gone to tell himself that the thunderbolt artillery is not easy to promote in large quantities, Zhao Ming is naturally anxious!

Li Gang naturally saw Zhao Ming's displeasure in his eyes, and then said: "This spring, when the Jin soldiers were attacking the city at night. Lao Chen had used this thunderbolt artillery, and it really deterred the Jin soldiers at that time, but the power of this thunderbolt artillery was not very strong in the first place. The lethality of smoke is twenty or thirty meters away, and it can't be fired in a row. Because the cannon body is overheated, it is easy to cause self-explosion, so the minister naturally does not dare to use the Thunderbolt cannon rashly as a last resort! “

Zhao Ming nodded. Then he asked, "Where was this thunderbolt cannon forged?" "Gunpowder kiln," Li Gang replied without thinking.

Zhao Ming grinned and said, "Prime Minister, do you know this place?" “

Li Gang leaned over and said, "The old minister has been there before!" “

"Good!" Zhao Ming turned to Zheng Afu and said: "You will pass the decree in the palace from today onwards, I will not go to the court if there is no major matter, if there is anything, I will naturally find them, you instruct Xu Bingzhe to let him immediately raise military rations and military doctors, and order Qin Hui to find out who is taking the army's salary according to the roster of the military department, and I will severely punish him!" “

Zheng Afu happily accepted the order and left.

Zhao Ming then said to Sun Fuyan: "You will immediately urge the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry to immediately prepare 200,000 good arrows and send them to Uncle Zhang and the Seed Master, the sooner the better!" “

Sun Fu naturally understood the use of sharp arrows, so he didn't say anything at the moment, and took the order to get on the horse and go.

After sending Zheng Afu and Sun Fu away, Zhao Mingcai said to Li Gangyan: "Prime Minister Li Cheng leads the way, let's go to the gunpowder kiln to see how this thunderbolt cannon is made, I want to improve it!" "What?" Li Gang involuntarily stuck out his tongue and said in his heart: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if you want to say that you are much wiser and wiser, the old minister Li Gang is convinced, but you want to improve the Thunderbolt artillery, my good man, it's not a joke!" ”

Li Gang thought so in his heart, he couldn't say this, and said at the moment: 'In this case, please ask the emperor to get on the horse!' At this time, Jiang Xuan and the others from Long Wei also followed over to help Zhao Ming get on the imperial horse, and Zhao Ming didn't say much at the moment, and followed Li Gang straight to the gunpowder kiln in Kaifeng City, Bianjing.

In less than a stick of incense, Li Gang took Zhao Ming to the gunpowder kiln in the north of the city, but Zhao Ming fixed his eyes on a large courtyard fifty meters away from the residence, and there were more than a dozen loose Song Dynasty soldiers with red felt hats standing outside the courtyard at this moment.

Zhao Ming didn't say a word, and rushed over, and the soldiers expected that at this time, a war horse would rush towards them, and the soldiers picked up their spears and raised the spears in their hands while retreating, and shouted: "What kind of person, actually trespassing into the gunpowder kiln!" “

Zhao Ming looked at the untidy appearance of those soldiers, and couldn't help but play with it, as soon as his feet took off his pedals, he stretched out his hands and pulled up the spears of two of the soldiers, and pulled them so hard, the two soldiers with guns just let Zhao Ming snatch the two spears as if they hadn't eaten enough!

Zhao Ming jumped up, jumped off his horse with two spears in his hand, and shouted at the five or six soldiers: "Are you waiting for the gate?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Ming was so fierce, those soldiers involuntarily took a few steps back and shouted, "I can tell you that this is the private kiln of the Great Song Emperor." You've got to figure it out! ”

Zhao Ming sneered: "What are you guys doing here?" ”

One of the veterans scoffed and said, "Naturally, we are janitors!" ”

Zhao Ming sneered and raised his right hand. When he saw the spear in his right hand come out of his hand and go directly towards the earthen wall behind the soldier, he heard a clang. Instead of burrowing into the earthen wall, the gun crackled and fell to the ground.

Zhao Ming was startled, and suddenly picked up the spear in his left hand and knocked it between his legs so hard, and saw a snap, and the barrel of the spear turned into two.

Zhao Ming's face became more and more ugly, Li Gang followed closely behind Zhao Ming, he was even more surprised, the first surprise was surprised by Zhao Ming's ability, just now Zhao Ming's ability to grab a gun from the horse surprised Li Gang, don't forget. The Great Song Dynasty has no emperor since Zhenzong, and now this Zhao Huan's appearance has to impress Li Gang, but what surprised Li Gang the most was Zhao Ming's treatment of those two guns!

Li Gang was surprised by the quality of the spear. He knew that Zhao Ming's face was so ugly, and it was no wonder that it was the quality of the spear.

Just when Li Gang didn't know how to speak, Cao Xi behind him also threw his stirrup out of the saddle and shouted at the soldiers: "You are bold, this is the emperor today, and you are not kneeling down?" “

Those soldiers had already seen Zhao Ming's exuding an aura of glory, but now when they heard Cao Xi say this, they couldn't help but immediately kneel on the ground and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live long live!" “

Zhao Ming was still in the mood to deal with these soldiers at this time. At that moment, he said: "Wait for the body!" “

The soldiers secretly said in their hearts: 'This emperor is not bad, he did not reprimand us!' “

A few people thought in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it, and they got up quickly.

Zhao Ming still held the spear in his hand and asked the soldiers, 'When was this weapon issued?' “

One of the veterans said indifferently: "The military department only changed it a few days ago." This gun is already good, the previous ones have long been rusted! “

"!" Zhao Ming opened his mouth and scolded: "It's not bad, I fought with others with this gun." Isn't this looking for death? With that, Zhao Ming walked a few steps to the spear that fell to the ground. He bent down to pick up the spear and looked at its edge. Zhao Ming's face turned black! The blade of the gun is curled up a lot! Zhao Ming looked at Li Gang angrily.

Li Gang naturally understood the meaning of Zhao Ming's gaze, Li Gang really didn't know how to explain it, because in fact, Li Gang also knew about the bad weapons and equipment of the Song soldiers, but Li Gang also understood that there were some things that he couldn't change!

Zhao Ming was furious, he turned his head to look at Cao Yu and asked coldly, "Could it be that the equipment of our forbidden army is the same?" “

Cao Yu said obediently when he arrived: "The weapons of our forbidden army will be stronger than the weapons of these soldiers at that time!" “

Zhao Ming didn't speak, but pulled out the waist knife that Cao Yu was carrying at his waist, Zhao Ming flashed the waist knife and looked at the small tree beside him, bang, Zhao Ming felt a shock to his right arm, and the small tree was safe and sound, Zhao Ming looked at the waist knife in his hand, and saw that the blade was rolled up most of it!

"!" Zhao Ming looked at this waist knife, and suddenly understood a lot of things, you let the family go to the battlefield to fight hard, how can you win the battle with these broken knives and broken guns?

Zhao Ming threw all the knives and guns to the ground, and walked into the gunpowder kiln with an angry face.

Zhao Ming really didn't know what he should say, he knew that Li Gang and Cao Yu would not have anything to do with this matter, the manufacture and management of this weapon was by no means the reason of that person, but the result of long-term operation under the Great Song system, no wonder the Song army's combat effectiveness was low, how could such a knife and gun deal with a strong enemy!

Zhao Ming's mood was extremely bad. At this time, I saw two people who looked like petty officials running out of it, and these two knelt down from afar: "The villain greets the emperor!" “

Zhao Ming tried his best to calm down his anger, and said to the two: "Get up!" “

The two of them got up and looked at Zhao Ming, they really didn't know what Zhao Ming came here for at this time!

Zhao Ming looked at the two of them and said, "You are the leaders here?" “

The two of them smiled and said: "The two of us are responsible for the kiln, one of us is called Zheng Wu, and the other is called Shen Wen, please give instructions to the emperor!" “

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "Zheng Wu, Shen Wen. Let me ask you, the thunderbolt artillery, but you made it? “

Zheng Wu and Shen Wen glanced at each other, and Zheng Wu said: "Your Majesty, the Thunderbolt Artillery was researched by my two brothers in their spare time, and our brothers have recently developed a thing that is even more flexible than the Thunderbolt Artillery!" ”

"Oh!" Zhao Ming was stunned for a moment, and his eyes stared at these two strange-looking brothers: "What is it, let me see!" ”

Zheng Wu hurriedly glanced at Shen Wen, and Shen Wen immediately returned to the room and came to Zhao Ming with a round object the size of a watermelon in his hand.

Zhao Ming was stunned for a moment, looked at this object that was much larger than the grenade of later generations, and said: "What is this? “

Zheng Wu's eyebrows fluttered and said, "This is the thunderbolt fireball that our brothers and sisters have researched!" “

"Thunderbolt Fireball!" Zhao Ming couldn't help but be interested when he heard this, and he said to Zheng Wuyan: "How about you light it and try it?" (To be continued......)
