Chapter 1,729: A Certain Master Studied in Mangshan Divine Calculation

"No. 1 in gunnery?"

At the mention of artillery, Zhao Shu obviously cheered up.

After seeing the power of artillery, he became a loyal fan of this weapon.

"Yes, artillery is the best." In order to strengthen his persuasion, Shen An gestured to the appearance of the artillery, "How to operate the artillery is all figured out with his own hands. An official, such a great talent... Then Song Qian is so bold. He dared to spy on the forged cannon and even injured someone. Comparing the two... I think it was right to sacrifice my life."

"This matter..." Zhao Shu was indeed moved.

What is most critical in the Northern Expedition?

Cavalry and artillery.

With a large number of cavalry, the Song Dynasty could confront the Liao army in field battles instead of being passively beaten.

With artillery, the Song Dynasty's ability to attack critical areas rose sharply.

"Let me think about it..."

Shen An resigned and Chen Zhongheng sent him out.

"How about Xuzhou?"

"good."

Chen Zhongheng sniffed, "It's been a little cold recently."

"yes!"

Shen An crossed his arms and decided to make a hot pot with sour soup when he got home.

"Old Chen, this is the best time to make sour soup hot pot. Just use kimchi, add the soup in the kimchi, and add a little hot sauce, tsk tsk! Make a pork ribs sour soup hot pot... I'm leaving first!"

Damn it!

This Shen An lacks great virtue.

Chen Zhongheng was so excited by what he said that he wished he could make a sour soup hotpot to eat right away.

"Hey! Kimchi!"

He still had hot sauce, but not kimchi.

"Go back and ask someone to deliver it."

Shen An walked out of the imperial city and saw several officials waiting.

He had some impression that these people were all members of the old party.

Those people smiled and said hello, "I've seen Shen Long Tu."

"Haha!" Shen An chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "Are you all waiting to impeach Izumokan?"

"Yes! No."

Shen An said seriously: "Don't impeach me, otherwise you will be scolded. I will wait for you when I see you...".

He squinted his eyes slightly, counted with his fingers, and said with a look of compassion, "I just calculated it. If you wait for the bad luck star to shine today, you'd better go back immediately and wait for the bad luck star. You know the bad luck star, right? That's the worst luck. Whenever it comes, some people will always be unlucky...

A certain teacher has a chance of winning in Mangshan..."

Mangshan lit up again.

Several officials were fooled by him and started muttering after he left.

"What does he mean?"

"It's just a fierce look and a weak heart."

"Yeah! Izumo-Kan is his confidence. He has a guilty conscience."

Several officials smiled proudly and then entered the palace.

"You don't do business, you just stare at a Taoist. What do you want to do?"

Chen Zhongheng stood outside the imperial city and said with a straight face: "The official said, check where you and others are from, and ask someone to check your merits later. Okay, that's good. Not good..."

hehe!

These officials didn't expect to be slapped in the head, and they couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Checking and testing merits, this is a ruthless rhythm!

They couldn't help but think of Shen An's chuckle earlier.

Could that guy really predict that we will be unlucky?

A few unlucky guys went all the way to find Lu Hui for help.

"It's just a trivial matter." Lu Jie said firmly: "This matter is against the law, and the officials can't suppress it no matter how hard it is, so there is no need to worry, why not risk your life in prison!"

Several officials were very grateful, and the flattery made Lu Hui narrow his eyes slightly, which was very helpful.

"I came out sacrificing myself."

Before the flattery was finished, news came from outside.

"The official ordered him to be released."

Damn it!

This is going against heaven!

Lu Hui couldn't help but get angry.

There was a custom in the Song Dynasty that you could go to the admonishing official's house, which meant you could criticize him as much as you wanted.

Lu Hui immediately began to write a memorial, preparing to criticize Zhao Shu.

"Zhongcheng, the officials summoned me."

Someone came to look for Wang Anshi outside. After hearing this, Lu Hui just sneered.

After receiving the news later, the officials summoned many prime ministers and ministers to prepare to leave the city.

This is a big move!

Lu Jie wanted to take a look, but he was not within the scope of the summons.

This is the difference between important ministers and ordinary officials.

Wang Anshi is the censor Zhongcheng, and the next step is the prime minister, who deserves the dignity of an important minister.

But Lu Hui was only serving as a censor and knowing miscellaneous matters, that is, he was the second-in-command, not an important minister.

However, the old party boss Wen Yanbo was definitely going, which gave Lu Hui some comfort.

If there is no big boss in the old party who joins the ranks of important ministers, things will be in trouble. When important matters in the government are only notified to important ministers, the old party is blind.

Lu Ji stood up and asked someone to hand over the memorial.

But Zhao Shu had no intention of reading any memorials at the moment.

He led a group of important ministers to the outside of the city.

After arriving outside the city, a group of cavalry came over for personal protection.

Shen An said that he was the first to sacrifice his life for gunnery. Zhao Shu naturally wanted to see it and let everyone see it, which would give him confidence.

Han Qi was impatient. He looked around and asked, "Where is it?"

Zeng Gongliang was also a little anxious, but when he looked around, he couldn't see the shadow of the artillery.

"It's easy to see people here, so be cautious."

Zhao Shu couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw that the important ministers were all anxious.

Normally he was a dignified and solemn minister, but now he looked as excited as a child. This discovery made Zhao Shu very proud.

All the way outside the city, a group of cavalry appeared later, led by Cao Ji.

"I have met His Majesty!"

Cao Yan held up his hands on horseback, and Zhao Shu said: "The artillery is a secret, everyone is watching, and no one is allowed to pry."

"yes."

Cao Yi led the cavalry to patrol the surrounding areas to drive away pedestrians, and Zhao Shu led his ministers along the way.

"over there!"

Han Qi had good eyesight and saw a row of artillery in the wilderness at a glance.

Twenty cannons flashed dimly in the sun, with gunners standing on the side, followed by gunpowder and projectiles.

"That's a wooden target on the left, there are quite a few!"

Everyone saw the wooden target on the left and guessed its function.

This is to simulate enemy forces and use artillery to bombard them.

When everyone dismounted and went over, they saw She Shen.

He stood in front of a group of soldiers wearing Song Dynasty military uniforms, and his Taoist robe looked particularly weird.

There was still some dirt on his face, so he stepped forward to bow his head and said, "Blessings Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, I have met Your Majesty."

What a weird feeling!

Zhao Shu felt that he had arrived at a Taoist temple. He smiled and said, "How about it?"

She Shen said: "Everything is fine, we just need to wait for the official order."

Zhao Shu nodded, "Then get ready."

Everyone stood on the edge. With the last suggestion, they all knew that no shield could block the artillery bombardment, so no protection was arranged.

"The artillery is not easy to move, just stand on the side."

There are sergeants on the side, holding divine crossbows. If they find someone trying to aim artillery here, they will kill without warning.

"It looks very majestic."

"How heavy?"

"I have to ask Shen An about this."

"There's no need to ask. I'll try it later and see if I can lift it."

Han Qi stood in the middle, looking at Zixiong proudly.

Seeing Shen An smiling, he said, "An Bei, can this thing be moved?"

The most common misconception that people have is that I can lift or hold this thing.

Shen An said: "It's too heavy, so we can only use horses."

Fu Bi immediately said: "Is Prime Minister Han more powerful than a horse?"

There is ambiguity in this statement, but the key is last hit.

This knife is cruel enough!

Shen An felt that Lao Han would go crazy.

But Han Qi just glanced at Fu Bi and said disdainfully: "If the four bodies are not diligent, the five grains will be indistinguishable!"

This is a mockery of the rich, who are unable to restrain the chicken. Incidentally, they do not know the sentiments of the people and the sufferings of the people.

Tsk tsk!

This knife was inserted back, as fast as lightning.

Lao Han is awesome.

Shen An almost shouted 666 for him.

Zhao Shu asked: "What use can artillery have when the two armies are fighting?"

Shen An said: "Artillery can only be used for defense in the wild."

Someone said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't that just a piece of scrap metal?"

Shen An glanced at the man and said: "If our army is superior, the cavalry can naturally cover it up. If our army is inferior, or our army is mainly infantry, we will naturally put up a defensive formation. If the enemy attacks, It will hit our army's artillery head-on. This is the role of artillery in field battles."

When the cavalry attacks, the artillery can naturally only be used as a decoration, dragging behind and becoming a burden.

But once a defensive posture is put into place, artillery can give the Song Dynasty a great help.

The man smiled and Wen Yanbo asked: "How helpful can artillery be to defense?"

Shen An said: "It's very big."

Wen Yanbo frowned and said: "In the Song Dynasty, there were many infantry. It was common for the infantry to line up to resist the enemy's cavalry attack. Therefore, if you want to make the usefulness of artillery clear, don't exaggerate, otherwise it will cause trouble."

Lao Wen did not return to Beijing for long, and the first test of the artillery was in the Privy Council. The Privy Councilor at that time was Fu Bi.

Shen An said: "Before the artillery came out, the only things the Song Dynasty could stop the enemy were the divine crossbows and flesh and blood. But with the artillery, it would be impossible for the enemy cavalry to act unscrupulously."

In the later Song-Jin war, the Jin's cavalry swept everything, and Bianliang finally fell.

At that time, most of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were scum, UU Reading www.uukａnshu． netｔThe Jin army was all warriors honed from fighting with the Liao people, and the gap between the two sides was so huge that it was disappointing.

So by that time, the Northern Song Dynasty was indeed in a state of ruin, and no one could save it.

But now it's different.

There are divine crossbows to serve from a distance, and now a cannon has to be added.

Nearby, there are swordsmen and axemen in front and behind to greet them, as well as gunpowder cans and kerosene bombs.

hehe!

If these things are done together, Yelu Hongji is afraid that he will cry.

Wen Yanbo nodded, "I'll wait and see."

The artillery over there is ready, so I sacrifice my life to ask for instructions.

"let's start."

Zhao Shu was looking forward to it.

Wen Yanbo whispered to Zeng Gongliang: "Isn't it appropriate to let a Taoist take care of this?"

Zeng Gongliang said: "Someone went to spy on the forged cannon, and was kicked by this person... and broke the thing. There were many impeachments outside, and they all said they would bring him to justice. But this person was a cannon manipulator. If he is a good player, the officials will tell him to take a look, and if he is a good player, he will be pardoned."

How could Wen Yanbo not know this? Speaking of it now was just a reminder.

Later, if the performance of Sacrifice is not satisfactory, haha!

Then do it however you want.

This is the method. There is no need to shout and kill. Just ask casually and the matter will be laid out.

No wonder Sima Guang, Lu Jie and others couldn't compete with Wen Yanbo, he was really powerful.

Wen Yanbo glanced at Shen An.

Shen An smiled back.

That smile was full of confidence.

Lao Wen, let's wait and see.

The sacrifice over there is already measuring the distance...

…

The fourth update is here, good night!
