"Don't look at me like that, I'm not that unsuspecting person. Pro-Shell Pavilion"

Ling Zhen knew that a few people had misunderstood, so he hurriedly said, seeing that a few people didn't believe it, Ling Zhen looked around again, the tiles in this outer city were not big, and there were no programs, and there were only some people who came to eat at night.

"Several, there is no gunpowder in this Tokyo armor storehouse, only some cannons, and this cannon without gunpowder is just a pile of scrap metal, and nothing can happen. As for what weapons, armor, stomach, bow, and crossbow equipment, it is even more of a joke, and now all of them are scrap copper, rotten iron, and rags, all of which are in deficit. ”

Ling Zhen said in a low voice.

"Is this a storehouse for storing equipment? This armor warehouse in Tokyo is responsible for the armor, blades, bows and crossbows, fireworks, and stone cannons of hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, will it be as unbearable as you say? ”

Lu Zhishen frowned and looked at Ling Zhen and asked.

"This master is also from the military?"

Ling Zhen looked at Lu Zhishen in surprise, those who are so familiar with the armor must have been mixed with the army, there are too many unfair things in the army, there are not a few monks who have returned to seclusion, and Lu Zhishen's figure is also very similar to an old soldier.

"Since this forbidden army was under the control of Gao Qiu, there has been no new ordnance from the Jiazhan Warehouse, and all the old things that have been sent are eliminated from nowhere, which are used to fill the numbers indiscriminately and embezzle military funds."

Ling Zhen said in a low voice.

"This damn dog officer, even this money dares to be greedy, how can this army fight? Are the front-line soldiers so ruthless in the bloody battles, and the dog officers in the rear? ”

Lu Zhishen was furious after hearing this, he knew very well the significance of equipment to the army, the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Dynasty army was all on these equipment, how could the army resist foreign enemies without good equipment? This kind of self-enrichment is completely for personal interests, ignoring the world.

"You call them dog officers, what can't they do?"

Sun Lei sneered and said that if these traitorous and corrupt officials in the late Northern Song Dynasty had a trace of conscience, they would not have the shame of Jingkang.

"How many?"

Ling Zhen was taken aback by the conversation of the few people in front of him, and the style of these people in front of him was a little wrong.

"Brother Ling Zhen, even if you forget about this weapon and armor, you don't have any gunpowder? It doesn't seem to be of any other use, does it? ”

Sun Lei looked at Ling Zhen and asked.

"Hey, there was originally, but His Majesty the Emperor of the Double Ninth Festival ascended to the banquet to invite the ministers to watch the fireworks, and the gunpowder in the armor warehouse was made into fireworks, and it should have been allocated to replenish it when it was consumed, but the boss said that there was no money, and it also said that the gunpowder was useless, it was just fried and looked good, and it was a waste of national funds. The new drug for this experiment is still my own money. ”

Ling Zhen said helplessly, stretched his hand to his waist, and suddenly realized that he had spent all the money for that package of gunpowder, gunpowder is very expensive, especially saltpeter and sulfur, and even positioned as high-grade medicine and Chinese-grade medicine, which has many uses and is expensive.

Ling Zhen's face turned red instantly, he originally wanted to invite a few people in front of him to drink, but now that he is penniless, how can this be good?

"This kind of enemy-killing weapon is actually used as fireworks! Medicine is hard to find at the border, and if there are enough firearms, how much less blood will the soldiers shed? This emperor turned a blind eye and used it for pleasure, which was really mediocre. ”

Lu Zhishen was even more angry when he heard this, artillery is quite popular at the border pass, and the powerful long-range weapon is something for the defenders to deal with the enemy.

Ling Zhen didn't dare to speak anymore when he listened, the words of these people in front of him became more and more bold, even if he scolded those people who begged for them, many people in the background scolded these corrupt officials, but the emperor couldn't scold casually, it was the crime of killing the head.

"What are you talking about? Drink! ”

Sun Lei saw that the more Lu Zhishen said, the more outrageous it became, for fear that he would be angry and say something, kill the palace, and take the bird position. Li Kui's brute bull is easy to tame, but Lu Zhishen's temper is not easy to persuade.

"You're not an ordinary person, are you?"

Ling Zhen looked at the few people in front of him and asked.

"Haha, that depends on whom."

Sun Lei laughed.

"Brother Ling Zhen, the trouble you caused today is not small, I'm afraid you will be severely punished this time, right?"

Sun Lei snorted and asked again.

"Hey, this is not the first time, those people in the Gunpowder Bureau don't understand anything, and they don't allocate funds, and they always delay me from testing new drugs. I'm afraid I'll be beaten with dozens of military sticks and locked up for a few more months if I go back this time. ”

Ling Zhenyi's face turned bitter when he talked about these things, and he shook his head and sighed.

"I am obsessed with the study of gunpowder and artillery, but most of the court officials are Confucian martial artists, and they are either only able to play with the pen, or they only know how to kill the enemy with a knife, and they can't understand the mystery of gunpowder and firearms, and they are not willing to accept this kind of thing. They believe only in intrigue and spears and knives. ”

Ling Zhen took a sip of wine and said helplessly, it was obviously an invincible weapon, but no one understood it, and he blindly suppressed it, he didn't understand what those big officials were thinking.

"As long as there is enough money and people, I don't even think I need to be afraid of any Liao Kingdom and Western Xia, my artillery can blow up those alien races into the sky!"

Ling Zhenmeng drank a big bowl of wine, hiccuped and complained, no one in the entire Great Song Dynasty knew firearms better than him, he told Shangguan several times about the benefits of firearms, but he was always beaten back, those laymen sneered at firearms, and always thought that they were sideways, embarrassed and reused, and could not be on the hall of elegance.

"There is nothing wrong with this, firearms are the avenue, the sharp weapons of the army, and the foundation of the country!"

Sun Lei said with a smile, firearms are things that can change the world.

The steppe peoples, who had been at war with the Central Plains for thousands of years, finally surrendered to Makqin and became good at singing and dancing.

However, although gunpowder was invented in the Central Plains and was first used in the military, because the traditional thinking has remained unchanged for thousands of years, it has always held an attitude of rejection and suppression of new things, and it is the West that really carries forward firearms.

Although the Northern Song Dynasty had a lot of firearms, it also ushered in great development, but it has never been really valued, and there is no large-scale production equipment, which also led to the helplessness to deal with the Jin people in the south. What is a golden man? What is Mongolia?

"This brother has vision, if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have such a vision, why do they lose every year!"

Ling Zhen hugged his fist at Sun Lei.

"Haha! I'm afraid that you and I are willing, and those people in the temple are unwilling. ”

Sun Lei laughed, the first one who was unwilling was Zhao Ji, he only likes pleasure, likes to be a man who slaps horses, and most people who do practical things can't tolerate it.

"It's a pity that my brother's talent is an official."

Shi Qian also smiled, but he didn't explain to Ling Zhen that Sun Lei was not able to be angry with others, if he saw Sun Lei being angry, without Sun Lei's action, their brothers would not agree, and when the time came, it was not like Li Kui shouted, killing the emperor and taking the bird position.

"It's a pity, it's a pity!"

Ling Zhen shook his head and said, it is rare to meet someone who understands the subtleties of firearms, but he also knows what the officialdom of the imperial court is like now, and when he enters here, he will only be at the mercy of others.
