Chapter 548: Prepare with many hands before going north

There are only three or five people on stage, and there are only two or three leading actors, but there are dozens of people behind the scenes, and more than 400 people participate in the preparatory work.

Under the wonderful and magical, breathtaking appearance, countless manpower and material resources have been consumed, just like the current Great Song Dynasty, which is prosperous on the surface, a peaceful and prosperous era, but in fact it has long been internal and external troubles.

The Mongols have approached Huainan, just looking across the river, the iron hooves will go south at any time, and the dynasty is also rampant with traitors, and the partisan struggle has never stopped, if it is not for the urgency of this situation, Yang Jing said that he would not want to leave Lin'an.

The original intention of his entry into Beijing this time was to get rid of these traitors, but now he only got rid of one Ding Daquan, but he couldn't pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and Dong Songchen was also uprooted.

Fortunately, Dong Songchen also knew how to converge, and even handed over the power of the speed room, and hibernated in the inner palace in a low-key manner.

As for Jia Yidao, although this uncle is not very good, after all, he is a relative, and it is normal to cause some controversy, at least so far, Yang Jing has not found any signs of a super traitor.

And the status of Dong Huai and other loyal and important ministers is also quite stable, and Yang Jing's removal of Ding Daquan can be regarded as knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, so that those traitors dare not be too presumptuous for the time being.

At this time, Yang Jing was forced to go north to rescue Li Tingzhi and An Fengjun, which was also feasible in terms of timing.

As soon as this fish dragon Manyan appeared on stage, it completely covered up the light of other people, and the rest of the show tasted like chewing wax, most of the people were immersed in the dream of suitable talents, and there was a lot of discussion in the Wanshou Taiyi Palace, everyone stared at the hole in the main hall, and they were all thinking about whether there really were real dragons and immortals.

Some people even discussed whether to erect a monument outside the main hall to commemorate today's fantasy scene, and some people proposed to rename this longevity Taiyi Hall as the Flying Dragon Hall and so on.

In short, this performance has earned enough eyeballs, occupied all the topics, and I can't pass tomorrow, I'm afraid it will spread throughout Lin'an.

Zhao Yun saw that her daughter was well-intentioned, and her love for her was not in vain, and she took her back to the palace with satisfaction.

Empress Dowager Yang chatted with Song Yan Zhenren for a while, only felt that this hall was too noisy, and went to the fine house to talk for a while, and got the golden pill of longevity and beauty from Song Yan Zhenren, and then returned to the palace.

Yang Jing first asked Luo Daoning and Ganlu Shitai to go down the mountain to gather the remaining members of the Red Banner Sect, and then arranged the things decided last night, using the holy seal in his hand to annex and incorporate the remnants of the White Bull Sect as soon as possible.

Then Yang Jing came to Yang Miaozhen again, but saw that Liu Hanchao and Chang Shenyue were already waiting, Yang Miaozhen did not drive these two away, and thought that he was already willing to point Liu Hanchao in gunmanship.

The foundation of the Red Jacket Army was in the north, and after the Mongols invaded the south, the Red Jacket Army also swayed from both ends to be unpleasing at both ends, and was finally broken up by the Southern Song Dynasty army, but most of the remnants of the Red Jacket Army remained in the Lianghuai territory.

Yang Jing wants to go north to do things, so naturally he can't let go of these resources, and the remnants of the Red Jacket Army are left in Yang Miaozhen's hands, which will attract disaster sooner or later.

But if he can control this power, the effect will be completely different, and what Yang Jing needs to do is to get this part of Yang Miaozhen's inheritance.

If he can successfully take over the remnants of the Red Jacket Army, coupled with the remnants of the Red Banner and the White Bull Sect, as well as the intelligence network of the Imperial City Division, Yang Jing's power will instantly become stronger!

Coupled with the technical support of the Grandmaster Group, led by Zong Yun and Dong Shangzhi, and the large number of Taoists in the north, Yang Jing's power could not be ignored.

In the southwest, there are Luo Jin and others' Yuezhou army, Jiangling has Mu Zicai and Chen Qitai, Juzhou has Yang Jingting, Chen Zhu and Wu Di, etc., Dali has Gao Taixiang, Baling and southwest also have the support of Miao and other ethnic minorities.

Calculated in this way, Yang Jing is in addition to his official position, and he also controls enough contacts and resources in his hands, the only thing that needs to be considered is how to hide it from the court, or from Zhao Yun.

No matter how much Zhao Yun trusts you, as the king of a country, especially the emperor of the Song Dynasty, in order to solve the division of feudal towns, he even suppressed military generals for more than 100 years, and respected scholars and civil officials, how could he tolerate Yang Jing controlling such a huge private power?

Many people naively thought that Yue Fei had killed Qin Hui, of course, this was direct, the culprit on the surface, if it wasn't for Zhao Go's approval, how could Yue Fei be executed?

It is not so much that Yue Fei died in the hands of traitors, but that he died in the hands of the emperor and died in the four words of meritorious master.

Grandpa Yue, who strongly advocated the Northern Expedition, even resigned three times or twice in exchange for the opportunity to withdraw the army, whether it was a temper tantrum, in order to blackmail His Majesty the Emperor, Grandpa Yue finally angered Zhao Gou.

Moreover, once Yue Fei was allowed to conquer Kaifeng, the Northern Expedition was successful, and Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were welcomed back, who should be the emperor? Should Zhao Gou, Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty, give way to Huizong or Qinzong?

Therefore, in addition to being able to do things, there are many things to consider, once the emperor is jealous, the stronger the ability, the faster he will die.

With this in mind, Yang Jing's first task is not to prepare to go north, but how to keep his little secret!

The first candidate Yang Jing considered, and the only candidate who could be considered, could only be Hu Mingqiao!

Zhao Yun, as the king of a country, should know that the emperor needs to take into account the overall situation, only weigh the two words, many times even if he finds that the courtier's character is problematic, as long as he can do practical things, it doesn't hurt to continue to appoint.

If there are no corrupt officials and corrupt officials, how can we show the value of the clear stream?

If there were no such open and secret battles, the court would be a pool of stagnant water, and everything would be handled by His Majesty the Emperor alone, and Zhao Yun would not be exhausted to death?

In addition to being indeed outright neurotic in history, many emperors actually have merits, not because they are deaf at the moment, but because they consider the overall situation, and they are reluctant to throw away these chess pieces.

Zhao Yun is a smart emperor, he was also a practical emperor, Hu Mingqiao served as his dead guard, but also his eyes and ears, after the outbreak of the Ding Daquan incident, Hu Mingqiao will be more relied on.

As long as Hu Mingqiao is willing to cover for Yang Jing, Yang Jing will be able to engage in "underground work" with peace of mind.

Yang Jing gave Hu Mingqiao great help on the issue of Luo Daoning and Master Ganlu, which was also a huge risk, so it was not difficult for Hu Mingqiao to repay the favor.

Of course, it is unrealistic to want to hide it all, and Yang Jing doesn't want it all, after all, no one is perfect, and occasionally there are some shortcomings and deficiencies, so that Zhao Yun can be more assured, if he has no flaws, Zhao Yun should be worried.

So Yang Jing decided to take the initiative to reveal some secrets.

Whether it is the White Bull Sect or the Red Flag, they are all anti-thieves and rebels, and it is impossible to leak out, and the connections of the local government cannot be known to Zhao Yun, because of collusion with the local military and government, there is already a suspicion of rebellion.

The most suitable person to take the initiative to expose to Zhao Yun should be the Grandmaster Group.

This is what Yang Jing smuggled back from Dali, it is the power of science and technology, and it is a team that can promote the progress of science and technology in the Great Song Dynasty, even if Zhao Yun knows, there is no reason not to accept it.

Moreover, these people have nothing to do with military politics, but are simply engaged in technology, which does not pose a threat to the imperial court, but can bring about earth-shaking technological reforms.

Moreover, Yang Jing needs to develop a musket, which requires a lot of manpower and material support, with his own ability and that of the Imperial City Division, he is really not enough, if he can get Zhao Yun's approval and get the support of the imperial court's resources, the role of the Grandmaster Group will be more incisive!

As long as Zhao Yun can see the value of the Grandmaster Group, as long as he is willing to accept the Grandmaster Group, I believe that it will not take long for the Great Song Dynasty to form an invincible army that is dominated by guns and cannons and sweeps the world!

Thinking of this, Yang Jing couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and talked with Yang Miaozhen for a long afternoon, handed over all the affairs of the rest of the Red Jacket Army, and hurried down the mountain.

Although Yang Jing has the intention to cultivate family affection with Yang Miaozhen, it is too embarrassing and awkward, Yang Miaozhen may have the same feeling, and she is not too strong in this regard.

After returning to the mansion, Yang Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about the plan in his heart, and did not rest, but let Chen Mi lead him to the secret workshop of the Imperial City Division outside the Wulin Gate.

This is the gathering place of Du Kefeng and fifty grandmaster-level craftsmen.

What surprised Yang Jing was that after the successful development of the cavalry-type Ximaron heavy tube revolver, the people of the Grandmaster Regiment worked day and night to finally create the prototype of the old sleeve made in Hanyang!

The Ximalone heavy tube revolver is just an attempt, and it is also Yang Jing's private custom, which cannot be mass-produced.

But the old sleeve is different, this classic firearm, from the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the era of warlords and wars, has been used to the period of the Anti-Japanese War, and it is the easiest low-end rifle to produce and the most widely used!

Even so, the manufacture of firearms is no longer a technical problem, the real problem is the preparation of ammunition, due to the need for careful and delicate operation and other reasons, the production of bullets will be much, much lower than that of firearms.

If there were no bullets, the firearm would be a useless burning stick, and the only people who could prepare gunpowder were Du Kefeng and these fifty grandmasters and craftsmen.

Not to mention that the grandmasters are already old, just such a small person, the amount of gunpowder prepared cannot meet the demand at all, so a large number of technical talents must be trained as soon as possible.

In this way, Yang Jing's firearms technology must be contributed, and once it is widely circulated, it will fall into the hands of the Mongols in a short period of time, thus losing the advantage of science and technology.

Yang Jing thought about it, but he could only retreat and learn from the practice of flowers, and divide the production of firearms and ammunition into assembly lines, so that they could be mass-produced, but the departments could not communicate with each other, so that these people could not master the full set of technology, and the problem was solved.

Of course, the best way is to let the Imperial City Division do this and keep this core secret to the greatest extent.

All of this requires Zhao Yun's approval and consent, and if you want to convince Zhao Yun, you can't just rely on Yang Jing's mouth.

So the prototype of this old sleeve has become the key to convincing Zhao Yun!

Yang Jing only hopes that the old sleeve can play its due role, as long as Zhao Yun can see its power, see its lethality, and see its power beyond this era, then Yang Jing's major event will successfully take the first step!

Yang Jing made up his mind, so he and Du Kefeng and others carried out debugging and test firing overnight, and they were busy until the early morning of the next day, when Yang Jing was a little relieved, took this old sleeve, and entered the palace to see Zhao Yun.

Whether the Great Song Dynasty can change the historical trajectory and enter the ranks of strengthening the army with science and technology, and whether Yang Jing can help the general of the building and turn the tide depends on this trip to the palace!
