"Mounted cavalry?"

In the Privy Council! Zeng Bu received Zhao Xu's order to prepare to form the Iron Floating Massacre, and couldn't help frowning.

"Lord Qiyu, it is said that the evil doctor Fan Zheng changed into a French weapons supervisor and created a cold forging armor!" A Privy Councillor frowned.

"Cold forging armor?"

Zeng Bu raised his eyebrows, cold forging armor has always been a pain in the Great Song Dynasty, but he didn't expect that Fan Zheng presided over the transformation of the military weapons superintendent, and actually cracked the cold forging armor in such a short period of time, with the cold forging armor, the Great Song Dynasty did have the confidence to build mounted cavalry.

"How many mounted cavalry does the official family want to build!" Zeng Bu asked with a frown.

"Three thousand!" The Privy Council clerk said solemnly.

"Three thousand?"

Zeng Bu couldn't help but raise his voice, everyone knew that the cost of mounted cavalry was expensive, and the cold forging armor was even more cumbersome and extremely expensive, Zhao Xu built three thousand iron floating slaughter at once! It directly consumed a large amount of military spending on the Privy Council.

"First there was earth-shattering thunder, and now there is Iron Floating Slaughter! It's a bottomless pit! Zeng Bu said with a headache.

The earth-shattering thunder is a gold-swallowing beast, and the Iron Floating Slaughter is even more a bottomless pit, the military budget of the Great Song Dynasty is already tight, and it is difficult to have a national debt of five million yuan, a little easier, and another three thousand Iron Floating Slaughter, I am afraid that it will be stretched again.

However, the mounted cavalry is very powerful, and the cost is higher, Zeng Bu also recognized it, but what is the matter with this kidnapping horse, and he is still wearing cotton armor.

The Privy Council clerk explained: "The cotton armor is the result of the military supervision and transformation law, and it is said to be the lightest armor in the world, only thirty catties, and there are not many good horses in the Great Song Dynasty, and the cotton armor can make up for the disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty in horsepower." ”

"It's just nonsense, even if the cotton armor has built-in iron armor protection, the defense power will be lost to the iron armor! Is Fan Zheng messing around with the lives of my Great Song cavalry soldiers? Zeng Bu frowned.

The cold forging armor has also been verified by the Western Xia Iron Harrier, and the cotton armor is the first of its kind in the Great Song Dynasty and has never been verified in actual combat, so Zeng Bu naturally has doubts about it.

When the Privy Council official saw Zeng Bu angry, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Fan Zhengbian has said that the weapons and armor made by the ordnance supervisor will be used by the front-line soldiers. ”

"Pampered and spoiled!"

Zeng Bu couldn't help but snort coldly.

In his opinion, cotton armor was at most used as a substitute for armor in winter, but Zhao Xu was gullible and applied it directly to the Great Song cavalry.

The fact that the officials believe in one person is not good news for the New Party.

However, Zeng Bu did not act rashly, and the biggest opponent of the new party is still the old party.

……………………

Naturally, Lu Dafang and the others also frowned when they learned of the imperial court's resolution to prepare for the formation of Tiefutu and Kidnapping Horses.

The evil doctor Fan Zheng does have some skills, but the officials are almost obedient to him, and in time, Fan Zheng will be the next Wang Anshi.

A new party led by Wang Anshi has caused a great headache for the old party, and over time, Fan Zheng has become a climate of his own, and it may not be possible to create a medical party.

Lu Dafang wrote a book of hard work, wrote a song to persuade Zhao Xu to prepare for a pro-virtuous minister, a villain, and a clear distinction between loyalty and treachery.

Of course, in Lu Dafang's writing, the virtuous ministers are naturally the gentlemen who talk about the old party, and the villains are naturally the favored Fan Zheng and the new party.

"Lord Qiyu, the new party has written a letter requesting Wang Anshi's rehabilitation! Request to enjoy the temple court of the god and posthumously seal the title. Suddenly, Yu Shi Yang Wei said with a panicked face.

"Really?" Lu Dafang was suddenly shocked.

Since the Empress Dowager Gao was in power, Sima Guang has been in power! The conservatives tried their best to retaliate against the New Party, hailing Sima Guang, Fan Chunren, and Han Wei in the old Party as the "Three Sages," while denouncing Cai Qu, Zhang Dian, and Han Jin as the "Three Traitors." As for the leader of the New Party, Wang Anshi, was naturally denounced as a traitor and was wantonly slandered.

The new party demanded that Wang Anshi be rehabilitated, and I am afraid that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended to be Pei Gong, but to rehabilitate the entire new party, and the new party would completely overpower the old party.

What's even more serious is that once Wang Anshi is rehabilitated, how should Sima Guang, who abolished Wang Anshi's reforms, deal with himself, the leaders of the new party and the old party have long been absolutely opposed, and one side will rise, and one side will fall.

Inside the arched hall.

"Qi Qi official family, Wang Xianggong changed the law to be strong, dedicated to the country, after his death, but repeatedly recruited people to be framed, infamy, it really made the world cold, Weichen asked for the king to be fair, let him enjoy the Taimiao, posthumously titled." Zhang Dian solemnly wrote.

"Accurate!"

Zhao Xu directly agreed, he has always admired Wang Anshi's reform, naturally understands the significance of this move for the change, and affirms Wang Anshi, so that he can justifiably continue to implement the change.

"Do you think Aiqing should posthumously seal the title?" Zhao Xu asked.

Cai Bian stepped forward and said: "Among the official titles of the past dynasties, only Wenzheng is the most elegant, Wang Xianggong is loyal to the country, and he is strong in changing the law, which is enough to match the nickname of "Wenzheng". ”

"Your Ministers agree!"

The ministers of the New Party nodded one after another.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly in his heart, after the death of Fan Zhongyan, the first generation of the Great Song Dynasty's law change leader, he was posthumously presented as 'Wenzheng', and Wang Anshi, as the second-generation law change leader, is also posthumously named Wenzheng.

"Wenzheng?"

Lu Dafang frowned, you must know that Sima Guang was also posthumously named Wenzheng, and now the new party proposes to let Wang Anshi also be posthumously named Wenzheng, I am afraid that there is a suspicion of deliberately targeting the old party.

Lu Dafang signaled slightly, Yang Wei gritted his teeth, stepped forward and said, "The minister is against it!" ”

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Wei.

Zhao Xu frowned, and looked at Yang Wei unhappily, in his opinion, Wang Anshi, as the leader of the law change, deserves to enjoy the Taimiao, and the posthumous title of 'Wenzheng' is more than enough, and the old party is too ignorant of promotion.

Yang Wei looked at Zhao Xu's gaze and said stubbornly: "Qiqi official, Weichen opposes the posthumous title of Wang Anshi 'Wenzheng', and he is not selfish, but because Wang Anshi is indeed not worthy of the title of Wenzheng. ”

"Yang Wei, you are so bold, you still dare to slander Wang Xianggong." Zhang Dian angrily rebuked Yang Weidao.

Lu Dafang stepped forward to support Yang Wei and said: "Wenzheng is the highest name of Wenchen, and Wang Anshi is in power to preside over the change of law, the people are angry and resentful, and they have been defeated again and again externally. ”

Zhang Dian suddenly became angry, although he greatly admired Wang Anshi's reforms, but he understood that Wang Anshi's changes did not make the Great Song Dynasty immediately stronger, and there was constant opposition in China, which was also the reason why Wang Anshi had two consecutive strikes.

"Wang Xianggong can't afford Wenzheng's nickname, can Sima Guang be worthy of Wenzheng's nickname." Suddenly, Zhang Dian sneered.

"Sima Guang?"

The ministers of the old party couldn't help frowning one by one, and Sima Guang was also posthumously named Wenzheng, and now it has become an excuse for the new party to attack the old party.

Zhang Duan bowed to Zhao Xu and said: "After the death of Shenzong, Sima Guang was in power, indiscriminately, abolished all the new laws, deliberately suppressed the law, and ruined the revival of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

All of a sudden, the court was shaken.

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, the two old enemies, fought endlessly to change the law during their lifetimes, and now several years after their deaths, they are still entangled under the promotion of their successors.
