Chapter 95: Divine Soldier
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang, and the small mountain outside Bozhou City instantly became scattered with ash and gravel.
That is, the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people outside the city are now shaking the sky, covering up the movement here.
Liu Bang's heart was pounding, except for being in bed, he hadn't felt this way for a long time, and he didn't care about the large amount of grass and wood chips on his head and clothes, he just looked ahead blankly, and even forgot to blink.
Not only him, but also Xin Ciying Guo Pharmacist next to him, as well as the old eunuch Huang Yanjie, all have the same expression, compared with these people, Liu Bang is already much calmer, Guo Pharmacist opened his mouth wide, Huang Yanjie's eyes widened, Xin Ciying was the most excessive, and even tears fell.
When the black-and-gray man trotted over, he kept saying to the emperor:
"Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins......"
Crime?
What a sin!
Liu Bang stared at this kid, he came with Wang Gui's footsteps, but he was not a person sent by Yue Fei, but a subordinate of Han Shizhong, claiming to be surnamed Li, with a single name.
Originally, when he first saw this person, Liu Bang thought that Han Shizhong, like Yue Fei, was disgusted that he was too slow to march, so he sent someone here, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but thinking that Wang Gui and Li Qiong were fellow villagers, he didn't know what this person was capable of, or what it had to do with Bozhou, so he patiently said a few words to him.
After all, all the generals of the Song Kingdom have a good relationship with him, but Han Shizhong is the only one...... Last time he investigated the military expenses of various armies, this kid was the one who was the most greedy except for Zhang Jun, and although the money in the private wine vault was confiscated by himself, no one knew whether he would continue to be greedy.
It's actually okay to be a little corrupt, he Liu Ji is not a stingy person, as long as he has the ability, it's not impossible to be a little excessive, Han Shizhong is of course a capable person, so like Taiwei Zhang, his corruption has only been taken a little bit.
But whether it is Liu Bang or Han Shizhong, they all know that the relationship between the two is not intimate, and as far as Zhao Guan's family is concerned, except for Wu Luan, who can't see each other, he is the farthest away from the emperor...... The Northern Expedition of the armies, Wu Lan is backed by Bashu, all the required expenses are self-determined, Yue Fei is the main force, and Zhao Ding has old friends, from Zhongshu Province to the three divisions, no one dares to slack off.
Not to mention Liu Wei, the money and food saved in Yingzhou are enough for tens of thousands of people to fight this kid to Youzhou, and Taiwei Zhang has been following the emperor all the time...... The most cold reception was Han Shizhong, the minister of the dragon back then, and now he sent someone here, which was not without a bit of flattery.
It's not a sin to please you, but the person he sent really gave Liu Bang a big surprise.
It made him more excited and excited than taking ten Ayu.
"This thing is the gunpowder you said you used to set off fireworks? It's so powerful, it's ten thousand times stronger than that firework. ”
"With this thing, what city in the world can't be broken? With this alone, you kid should be crowned a prince of the country and a saint. ”
"I don't know if there are any girls in your family who are not yet married, but you can introduce you to Lao Tzu, and we will form a family relationship."
"How old is your son? Have you studied? If there is a lack of a gentleman, as long as you open your mouth, Lao Tzu will personally invite him to come. ”
"Your father, your mother......"
The emperor said a lot, from Li Bao's wealth to food, clothing, housing and transportation, from his parents and wife to his relatives in the five clothes, but everything Liu Bang could think of, he promised benefits.
This preferential treatment, the last person is still Yue Fei.
And from an inconspicuous soldier who was regarded as a messenger, he was about to be crowned a prince of the country in the blink of an eye...... This is just a man in his early twenties, and he has walked the road that Zhang Taiwei and Han Shizhong have walked for a lifetime in one day, and he is even faster than Yue Fei, who became an envoy of a town at the age of thirty or forty.
But whether it is Xin Ciying or Huang Yanjie, they don't feel that there is anything wrong, this thing that this person took out is really deserved, even if there is more reward or something, it is okay.
Where has Li Bao seen this kind of scene, although his face is black now, he still shows a pair of big white teeth and says:
"Thanks to the love of the official family, but this thing is not the first creation of Weichen, the minister is just improving some, and he can't afford this great credit."
"Three years ago, the minister was originally looking for a fellow villager to resist Jin in Puzhou, but he was sold by the Khitan mongrel of Puzhou Zhizhou, so he went south to Marshal Yue, thinking of killing the golden dog with him."
Liu Bang was very patient at this time, and he looked like he wanted to listen, and listened to him quietly.
He is really not an impatient person, but in many cases, many people are not worthy of his gentle side, just like now, if he is seen by Taiwei Zhang, maybe he will learn to tinker with gunpowder.
Marshal Yue knew that the minister had some connections in Shandong, so he gave the name of a Hebei Road commander of the loyal and righteous army and horses, and asked the minister to contact the anti-Jin rebels in Shandong...... The year before last, when the golden dog went south, the minister hid, and it was not until Marshal Han took Haizhou that the minister had a chance to show up. ”
"This earth-shattering thunderbolt and thunderbolt cannon were originally improved on the basis of fireballs and tribulus fireballs...... The reason why the officials were surprised may be because the craftsmen of the gunpowder workshop were all taken captive to the Jin Kingdom, and few people in the south studied these things, so that the ministers took advantage of this loophole. ”
He spoke very modestly, although he was young, he was always happy, and he couldn't help but infect a few people, and Pharmacist Guo on the side accosted:
"Since Emperor Taizu, my dynasty has used firearms a long time ago, and Xiao Lao'er also used them in the north back then, but the power is not as good as today, not to mention, this thing is expensive and not good at survival, it is not good to get hot when the tide is hot, and the gold is very expensive."
"But if it has such an effect, even if it is expensive, it will be worth it!"
Liu Bang glanced at him, there was no old guy who couldn't catch up, and just as he wanted to tease him, he heard Xin Ciying wipe away his tears and say:
"Emperor Shenzong once set up an ordnance supervisor to oversee the ordnance manufacturing of the Great Song Dynasty, employing as many as 40,000 workers, and his ten major workshops were based on gunpowder workshops and firearms workshops, and the minister remembered that the ordnance supervisor recorded 7,000 crossbow gunpowder arrows, 10,000 bow gunpowder arrows, 3,000 tribulus terrestris cannons, and 20,000 leather artillery."
"Since the city of Kaifeng was broken, all the craftsmen of the ordnance prison were taken captive to the north, and the lawmakers either fled alive or died or went incognito......
Speaking of this, the old man stopped talking, and if he continued to talk about it, he would pull out the emperor's ugly things, just point to the end.
Liu Bang didn't care so much, just asked Li Bao:
"If you do it, how long will it take to get one of those things?"
Li Bao said again: "The minister doesn't dare to be arrogant, but it's not a problem to make five or six thunderbolts a day...... If there are enough people and materials are ready, according to the old gentleman, one or two thousand sticks a day is not a problem. ”
Liu Bang pulled him and led him to the door of the snow road, and shouted out to the people who were digging:
"I'll talk about other things later, what we have is time, can this stone gate be blown open?"
Li Bao patted the stone door: "Add more, two more doors are fine." ”
Looking at his firm eyes, Liu Bang couldn't wait to bow to this person now.
