Chapter 475: Guo Guo's Entry into Beijing (2)

The Great Li Dynasty paid equal attention to civil and military affairs, and when the young emperor was still the third prince, he would shoot a bow and arrows, which personally fiddled with the musket, but no one thought that the behavior was vulgar, but that the current saint was both civil and military. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhu Shangshu himself demonstrated how to load a gunpowder gun, because of the use of fixed ammunition, the young emperor quickly learned, only to see him stand with his gun raised, aiming at a steel armor a hundred paces away, pulling the trigger, a huge roar sounded in the imperial garden, startling birds and beasts to scurry.

After the smoke from the muzzle of the gun cleared, Lu Yueding personally ran to the armor to check it, and was so excited that he clapped his hands again and again: "The Holy Lord is mighty! This shot will directly pierce the stainless steel armor! If this is changed on a person, it must open a big hole!"

The young emperor was overjoyed, fired several more shots, and smashed a piece of armor, and then stroked the musket and said: "Okay, good! Mr. Houlong has invented such an artifact, which can protect my great Li Dynasty for thousands of years!

Zhu Shangshu coughed a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the steel required for this musket is not easy to refine, and it also requires a large amount of drill bits to use machine tools to drill holes, and the drill bits are now only produced in a small amount in Houlong Village (in fact, it is the tungsten steel drill bits of Daheira), and at present, the factory in the household department can only produce a hundred muskets a month, so this can only give priority to supplying the Ouchi guards in the short term--"

The young emperor waved his hand: "The widow is in the capital, what kind of guards do you need? It's the second brother, he is in the northern Xinjiang, although the Hu clan was frightened back by the First World War, and now there is the old lord Guo to help him guard the pass, but it is still not to be ignored. The muskets produced by the Hubu factory were not left behind and sent to northern Xinjiang. ”

The Emperor Taishang nodded lightly beside him: "The Emperor attaches great importance to state affairs, which is excellent." However, Tobe needs to produce more submunition pellets, otherwise, if this musket runs out of gunpowder bullets, it will not become a burning stick?"

The Emperor Taishang was really old and spicy, and just watched from the sidelines, and saw a flaw in the musket - that is, the problem of logistics supply.

Zhu Shangshu hurriedly said: "Mr. Houlong also repeatedly told the importance of logistics supply, he said that it is not possible to establish an all-firearms force for the time being, and it is still necessary to mix cold weapons and hot weapons, and at the same time, we must also pay attention to the establishment of cavalry. The musket could also be equipped with a bayonet, which could be used instead of a spear when the ammunition was exhausted. ”

The young emperor nodded again and again: "Mr. Houlong is really omniscient and omniscient, Zhu Shangshu, you should follow the immortal decree passed on by Mr. Houlong, in the future, Mr. Houlong's words will be the holy decree of the widow!"

Zhu Shangshu was busy, and taught a few first-class guards how to shoot on the spot, so he left ten muskets and retreated--Zhu Shangshu is extremely clever, although the emperor repeatedly ordered all the muskets to be sent to the northern Xinjiang, but he couldn't really do this, not to mention that he had to arm a musket team of 100 people in the inner palace to protect the emperor's safety.

The young emperor fiddled with the musket with great interest, and did not notice that when Zhu Shangshu left, he secretly exchanged glances with Lu Yueding, Lu Yueding nodded lightly, and deliberately coughed heavily: "If our Great Li Dynasty generals are all equipped with this musket, and everyone is equipped with fast horses, it will really be like a tiger with wings." The Emperor, the Emperor, our musketeers rode fast horses, ran for a long distance, and when they arrived at one place, a volley of muskets, what kind of enemy could they fight against?"

The young emperor slapped his thigh in a faux puff: "That's right! Mr. Houlong once said that the combat power of the army lies in attack power, speed and protection, and our army of the Great Li Dynasty has a musket, and the attack power is invincible in the world! It's a pity that speed is a shortcoming--"

The young emperor turned his head to the Emperor Taishang and said: "Short board is a term invented by Mr. Houlong, he believes that the water that a bucket can hold depends on the shortest board, and similarly, what affects the combat strength of the army is also the most shortage - speed." Our Great Li Dynasty has always lacked horses, and this has seriously restricted the combat effectiveness of the army. ”

It is not surprising that the young emperor's mouth is now full of new terms, and the textbooks of Houlong Village Yixue are sold everywhere, and all kinds of new terms even appear in the imperial court and appear in the songs.

Emperor Taishang nodded: "Yes, this war horse is really a headache, when he was alone, he also vigorously bred good horses, but the results were not good, and it could not be compared with the Hu people in the north." ”

The young emperor and the emperor both knew in their hearts that although the Hu clan died this time and fled in embarrassment, their strength was not greatly damaged.

The Hu clan actually has two leaders, the Great Khan is in charge of the military, and the civil affairs are actually managed by the Great Wu Zhu, this time Hu rode south, and he didn't see the shadow of the Great Wu Zhu at all, that is to say, the Great Wu Zhu who has the mana to communicate with the immortal heaven is good and unharmed, as long as he straightens out the Hu clan, he can make a comeback at any time.

What's worse is that now that the divine bean has spread to the grassland, the food problem that has been restricting the Hu people has been greatly alleviated.

The young emperor knew a secret, that is, Da Wu Zhu could change his gender at will, if he was willing to become a woman under the power of the immortal heaven, then the Hu tribe would immediately have a great Khan who won the hearts of the people, and it was very likely that he would attack the Great Li Dynasty again in the short term.

Lu Yueding's old face smiled like a flower: "I want to teach the two saints to learn that Mr. Houlong's wife Guo Lanying has successfully experimented with horse artificial insemination technology, and with this technology, my big Li Dynasty will soon be able to have a large group of good horses!"

The young emperor's eyes lit up: "I know that Mrs. Guo Lanying is in the capital, taking care of the affairs of the science gate in the capital, although she has been invited into the university many times, so that I can ask for advice, but Mrs. Guo has pushed it for various reasons, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Guo is busy with artificial insemination." Old Lu, this artificial insemination sounds very strange, what is going on?"

Lu Yueding coughed lightly: "This artificial insemination sounds ridiculous and bizarre--" He carefully explained the artificial insemination, and when Yang Yang Sasa finished speaking, the young emperor and the emperor were dumbfounded, and the palace maids next to them were all red, even the seven fairies who had been silent, their veiled faces, and their white and greasy chins were also a little red.

The young emperor shook his head again and again, and nodded again and again: "God! God is God! This conception and pregnancy were originally determined by heaven, but Mr. Houlong was able to go against the sky, it is really, really -- admirable! Mrs. Guo is a female streamer, and if she can successfully test this technique, it is really a widow who throws herself to the ground!" "The emperor of the world, who was already under the cultivators, had to kneel and kowtow when he met Da Luo Jinxian, but the young emperor's four words "five bodies to the ground" were not out of courtesy, but really from the heart.

The Emperor Taishang was also quite happy: "With this artificial insemination technique, the sperm of a good horse can inseminate multiple mares and give birth to more foals. ”

The emperor is aware of the civil matter, this folk breeding is extremely difficult to one thing, one to find a good horse, easy to be reluctant to breed others, two to breed this thing depends on the heavens and the earth, can it be done, that is two said, three to the best horse physical strength is also limited, can not be repeated in a short period of time, otherwise, this kind of horse will be wasted.

But with artificial insemination, it is no longer limited by male stallions, as long as the mare is in estrus, it can be bred multiple times, and the chance of successful conception is also higher.

The young emperor said excitedly: "Come on, let's send all the best horses in the widow's circle to Mrs. Guo! That's the best sweat and blood horse, Dawan good horse, it is best to use it for artificial insemination, hahaha, everyone in the army of my big Li Dynasty is worthy of sweat and blood BMW, what a majesty that is!"

Lu Yueding coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, of course the good horses in our country are excellent, but Mr. Houlong has already sent Mrs. Guo a batch of sperm from good horses, which is specially used to breed war horses." ”

The young emperor was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced: "The sperm sent by Mr. Houlong is bound to be better than the widow's horse, I don't know what kind of horse it is?"

Lu Yueding took out two pictures: "This is the pattern of the good horse sent by Mr. Houlong, which is marked with various data, one is specially used for military horses to ride war, and the other is used for military horses, and the people can also use this horse to pull carts and plow fields." ”

The young emperor hurriedly took the pattern, took a closer look, and his excited expression suddenly froze, because the horse on the pattern was short and thin, and it couldn't be compared with the sweaty BMW and Dawan horse, and the bare head was a big difference, what kind of good horse is this?

The Emperor Taishang saw the strange look on the emperor's face, took the pattern quietly, read it carefully, and clapped his hands lightly: "Okay!

The young emperor was anxious: "Father, what kind of good horse is this, look at this head, this speed, the most inferior horse in the big inner horse circle comes out, and it is stronger than Mr. Houlong's horse!"

The Emperor shook his head: "Emperor, your temperament is still a little anxious, you didn't look carefully at the relevant data, you see, this former kind of military horse for riding war, although the size and speed are not as good as the sweat and blood horse, but this horse is good at long-distance marching, and the requirements for grain and grass are not high, and even can dig grass roots under the snow to eat, if the soldiers are hungry and thirsty, they can also drink mare's milk to survive." This is the real warlike horse. Although your sweaty horse is good for short sprints, it is not tolerant of long marches, and it is extremely picky about food and grass, and it is necessary to drink clean water and eat good black beans, and a few horse slaves are not enough to serve it, how can you go to the battlefield?"

The young emperor sighed: "Father, in this way, Mr. Houlong's horse is really conducive to battle!

The young emperor and the emperor looked at another kind of horse, which was also not tall, but it was endurance, and the requirements for grain and grass were not high, and ordinary farmers could also feed it, and because of their short size, whether it was a mountain or a plank road, they could walk flexibly, which was extremely underdeveloped in traffic, and the cement road in Houlong Village did not have a large-scale promotion of the Great Li Dynasty, which could be very convenient to pass.

These two horses of Guo Dalu are actually the famous Mongolian horses and Sichuan horses, Mongolian horses are not to mention, in another time and space, the Mongolians are riding this horse that is ridiculed by Westerners as "donkeys", beating the tall knights of the West to the ground, conquering half of the world.

As for the Sichuan horse, it is really a rare good service horse, in the short term, Guo Dalu has not been able to promote mechanized planting on a large scale, and a large number of service horses are needed to pull carts to plow the fields, and the Sichuan horse has always been known for its hard work and good feeding. In fact, even in the 21st century, in some remote mountainous areas, farmers are still using Sichuan horses to do some hard work.

What's more, the stallion *** sent by Bai Suzhen has been improved by breeding experts in the 21st century, and its quality is better.

The young emperor said in a loud voice: "The widow will issue an order, and order the Taifu Temple to cooperate with Mrs. Guo to artificially inseminate and breed a large number of good horses!"

Lu Yue said: "Mrs. Guo has decided to announce the technology of artificial insemination of good horses to the whole world free of charge, and she has also invited horse merchants from all over the country to gather in Beijing through snow sugar shops all over the country to discuss the cultivation and promotion of good horses. ”

The Emperor nodded and said: "Mrs. Guo's move is very good, the slave of the Taifu Temple can only be greedy for ink, and have raised horses for so many years, but there is no practical effect, don't look at the large number of good horses on the books, in fact, the horse circle is empty, let them assist Mrs. Guo in doing things, it will only mess up this matter! Mrs. Guo invited horse merchants from all over the world, and the people spontaneously promoted good horses, but it was excellent." ”

The young emperor's face turned red, he had known that Ma Zheng was corrupt, but he didn't know that the Taifu Temple had been corrupted to such a point, he was so angry that he stomped his feet: "The slaves of the Taifu Temple, all of them will be imprisoned, and they will be interrogated well, so that this group of villains will spit out all the money they are greedy for! As for the promotion of good horses, well, the widow will decree that all horse merchants and farmers who participate in Mrs. Guo's artificial insemination can deduct taxes." ”

Lu Yueding was secretly happy, he led the topic to the cultivation of war horses, that is, waiting for the young emperor's words, with this holy decree, countless horse merchants in the world will be moved, although the science gate provides artificial insemination for free, but it monopolizes the supply of excellent sperm, after that, the world's good horses are all out of science, and Guo Lanying and himself, will get a steady stream of merit.

The young emperor looked at the pattern of the good horse for a while, played with the musket for a while, and imagined that the generals of the Great Li Dynasty carried muskets on their shoulders, rode war horses, crisscrossed the seas, and rode to the ground.

The young emperor couldn't help but turn around and muttered to himself: "The widow wants to reward Mr. Houlong heavily! Alas, Mr. Houlong's merits are high in the world, and the wealth of the widow in the world is really not enough to reward him." ”

At this time, the Seven Fairies, who had been silent beside her, suddenly said: "Why doesn't the Emperor of the People reward Mr. Houlong for the position of national teacher and invite Mr. Houlong to Beijing and take charge of state affairs?"

The young emperor was stunned, and his eyes lit up: "National teacher?!Not bad! Not bad! The widow wants to invite Mr. Houlong to Beijing! The lord is in charge of political affairs! The widow is good to consult Mr. Houlong day and night!"

Lu Yueding listened to this, and his hands trembled a little with excitement, and he finally managed to control it, and did not let the young emperor and the emperor Taishang find out -- Master Guo was about to enter Beijing! With the young emperor's respect for Master Guo, Master Guo would become the real ruler of the entire Great Li Dynasty! This is much better than Master Guo being confined to a corner of the East China Sea, although now Master Guo is also influencing the government, such as the military and the household department are faintly on the side of the Science Gate, but where does it matter if there is a political center? After Master Guo was appointed as the national teacher, the prestige of Science Gate in the world was unique for a while!

Of course, the corresponding power of merit obtained by Master Guo, as well as the power of merit obtained by his own disciples, will also be endless.

After all, the Emperor Taishang was young and older, and he sat for a while and then returned to the palace to rest in peace, Lu Yueding waited for the Emperor Taishang to get into bed, and then hurriedly left the palace, got into the carriage waiting at the palace gate, and waved his hand: "Go to the farm where the snow sugar is spread in the suburbs." ”

On the outskirts of the capital, there is a large piece of good fertile land, which was originally owned by the Shangshu family of the household, but now it has already changed its owner, and the inside and outside have long been replaced by the children of the doorman of the snow sugar shop.

Guo Lanying was in the stables of the farm, holding the feed in her own hands, feeding a mare, the mare's belly was high and bulging, obviously about to give birth, and she was using her soft and moist tongue to roll up the feed in Guo Lanying's hand to eat.

Guo Lanying felt the warmth of the mare's tongue in her hand, and said with a smile: "This is the new feed I made according to the formula sent by Brother Guo, but it is nutritious, eat more, and give birth to a lively foal." ”

The mare seemed to understand Guo Lanying's words, barked, and rubbed her head in Guo Lanying's arms.

At this time, Lu Yueding hurriedly entered, shouting as he walked: "Madam, madam, great joy!

Guo Lanying touched the mare's head and turned her head: "Old Lu, what are you yelling, be careful of startling the horses, the horses in this horse pen are about to give birth, I can settle accounts with you." Your so-called happy event, I think that the emperor is willing to help us promote artificial insemination? That is inevitable, the saint today highly respects science, we have such a good way to promote and breed good horses, he must be trying to find ways to help it. ”

Lu Yueding said with a smile: "The matter of artificial insemination and promotion of good horses has indeed been completed, and the Holy Lord has promised to reduce taxes for horse merchants and farmers involved in artificial insemination, but the good news I am saying is that the Holy Lord has decided to worship Master Guo as the national teacher and enter the capital to govern state affairs!"

Guo Lanying was stunned: "Brother Guo, he, he's going to Beijing?!"

Lu Yueding nodded again and again: "Yes, Master Guo will enter Beijing in a few days! When I left the palace, the holy decree drafted by the Holy Master himself had already been transmitted to Houlong Village by the magic weapon! If nothing else, Master Guo will enter Beijing in the next few days! Hehe, I heard that there is no one waiting for Master Guo now, and the eldest girl is still staying on Yizhou Island--"

Lu Yueding came from the courtyard of the deep palace, and naturally knew that under the situation where women could not compete for favor, Guo Lanying was originally in the capital, but she was far away from Guo Dalu, which greatly affected the "relationship between husband and wife", which was almost equivalent to entering the cold palace.
