"The matter of Tuntian in the northwest originally wanted Yuan Ze to go, but Yuan Ze was busy with affairs, and the ruling person was changed later, this person was far inferior to Yuan Ze, Shao was originally a little worried, if Daochang Shen was willing to go to the northwest, it would naturally be the best, but Daochang could go away?" Wang Shao was a little moved, not to mention the weapons that Shen Long had taken out before, just because he planted these new high-yield crops, it would be of great benefit to him to recover the two states of Hehuang.

"Huh." Shen Long smiled, Wang Anshi changed from a bachelor in Hanlin to a governor in political affairs, and the title also changed from a bachelor to a ruling party, but the reason why Wang Yan failed to go to the northwest was not as simple as Wang Shao said, Wang Anshi became the chief executive, Wang Shao was going to lead the troops outside, and Wang Anshi's son went to the northwest with Wang Shao, I am afraid that someone will be worried.

So Wang Anshi thought of this, so he used other excuses to let Wang Yan stay, hey, in order to avoid being secretive, he had to send someone who was not the best candidate, and this atmosphere in the Great Song Dynasty was enough.

"It's enough for Su Zirong and Li Mingzhong to be in the school, and it doesn't matter much if I leave for a few months." Shen Long said, "Oh, by the way, I also prepared some cement, this thing is best for building a city, Zichun can bring more when he leaves, if you need it in the future, write to Jiefu to ask for it." ”

"It's bitter cold in the northwest, and it's not easy to build a city, so it would be nice if you had this thing." Wang Shao often came to Shen Long for advice before, of course he knew the benefits of cement, and thanked him at the moment.

"I'll arrange for a few more students to come with you and let them help teach the sergeant how to build the city." In the end, if you do a good thing, you can even send some talents, "In addition, there are some people in the school who are proficient in arithmetic and can help Zichun calculate money and food, there are those who are familiar with medical skills to help take care of injured soldiers, and there are those who know how to repair and operate hot air balloons, and I will also pick a few of these to go to the northwest with Zichun." ”

It is not possible for these people to enter the political arena through the imperial examination for the time being, unless Wang Anshi opens a new imperial examination subject and goes to the northwest, as long as they make military achievements, their names will definitely appear on Wang Shao's list of guarantees, so that they can become officials; Sooner or later, these students will form a force to be reckoned with.

Without waiting for Wang Shao to thank him again, Shen Long continued, "The fire gun can't be made for the time being, but Zirong and I have also made some things, and now the steel smelted is far better than before, and Zirong's ordnance supervisor can also make better armor and ordnance, and these Zihou can also ask Jiefu for it." ”

At this time, Su Song was supposed to serve as the official position of the Imperial Edict, the Tongjin Yintai Division and the Subordinate Seal, and the official positions of the Judicial Court, but Shen Long felt that it was a waste of talent, so he told Wang Anshi and asked him to be in charge of the ordnance superintendent, which was just enough to improve the ordnance of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Some gunpowder has also been prepared, Zihou has also seen it when he tried to explode, the power is still unsatisfactory, it is enough to scare those Qiang people, Zihou should also take some away!" Shen Long sent out a lot of good things in one go.

"If that's the case, I can't subdue Hehuang Erzhou, and I, Wang Shao, won't have the face to come back!" Wang Shao solemnly saluted Shen Long, "Please also rest assured that Shao will never live up to the expectations of the Taoist and will definitely come with good news as soon as possible." ”

"Well, when you're ready, take these things with you, and my students, and I'll see you off when the time comes." Shen Long calmly accepted a salute, he did not doubt Wang Shao's words, in the absence of cement and gunpowder, Wang Shao recovered the five prefectures of Xi, He, Tao, Min, Tang, and Kang, expanded the border for more than 2,000 miles, and formed an encirclement of Western Xia.

Oh, by the way, it seems that after the Battle of Xihe, Sima Guang also shouted that Wang Shao's move greatly offended the Western Xia, and asked the imperial court to return the seized territory to the Western Xia, numb, if he dares to say this this time, I have to give him some color to see.

Wang Shao was a little puzzled when he heard this, didn't you just say that you wanted to go to the northwest with me? Why don't you move again? Shen Long saw his doubts, so he smiled and said, "Zichun, let's go first, and I'll rush over when I get to Qinfeng Road." ”

I have a somersault cloud and it will be there in a moment, so why should I suffer with your chariots and horses? I guess I'm not too late when you get there and start working.

"It's better to go with the group." Wang Shao persuaded a few words, and when he saw that Shen Long insisted on insisting, he was no longer reluctant, and instead asked Shen Long about the military application of gunpowder.

Shen Long also took him to meet his students, and showed them how to build cities with cement, kill and wound enemies with gunpowder, and treat wounded and sick soldiers.

Wang Shao asked these students a few questions, only to feel that they spoke simply and directly, and did not master the speaking skills of ordinary literati, but there was not a word of nonsense that came out of their mouths, and every word pointed to the crux of the problem.

"The disciples taught by the Taoist are really good." Wang Shao was greatly impressed, he knew that this was the style of science students' speech, scientific research must be accurate, and there was kung fu to go around.

A few days later, Wang Shao left with Shen Long's students and full of supplies, and Shen Long, Wang Yan and others went to Shili Pavilion to see them off.

About a few months after Wang Shao left, Shen Long felt that he had probably dealt with the preliminary work and was ready to attack the Qiang people, so he arranged the work of the school, went to say hello to Wang Anshi, and flew to the northwest in a somersault cloud.

On the same day, Shen Long arrived at Qinfeng Road, which is now the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo provinces, and lowered the clouds to see that many farmers were cultivating the wasteland, and Wang Shao's military camp had begun.

I found a place where no one was and landed, found the student I had just seen in the sky, and learned from him the whereabouts of Wang Shao, who was now reorganizing his troops and horses to subdue a certain Qiang tribe, so Shen Long borrowed a horse and rushed over.

When he arrived at Wang Shao's camp, he saw that the style of camping was quite different from what he saw along the road, but there was a bit of Qi Jiguang's style.

Wang Shao welcomed Shen Long into the camp and set up a banquet to entertain them, and the two chatted about Wang Shao's recent progress while drinking, and Wang Hou poured wine and waited beside him.

"...... thanks to these students sent by the Dao Chief, as well as the cement, gunpowder, and ordnance, the progress has gone much smoother than expected." Wang Shao thanked Shen Long again.

"Needless to say, is there any difficulty at the moment?" Shen Long asked.

“…… The terrain here is complicated, and the Qiang tribe has lost its trace for a while. Wang Shao hesitated for a moment and said.

"It's easy to do, I'll help you." It's simple, I'll give you a hanging!
