Chapter 1,730 Hell

Saishen looked at the target group in front of him with one eye, opening and closing his left and right eyes alternately.

This is ranging.

The simplest kind.

Zeng Gongliang was a little confused when he saw it, "An Bei, is he... doing something?"

puff!

Fu Bi burst into laughter immediately.

This is a place where artillery is tested, and all the important officials present are there. You said he was doing something, this...

Zhao Shu's cheeks were trembling. He wanted to laugh, but something was wrong. He didn't want to smile. He felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

"This is the ranging method." Shen An said: "It can measure the distance between the target and the target."

"You can measure the distance just by opening your eyes and closing them?"

Zeng Gongliang also gestured and said seriously: "Dazzled."

Even Zhao Shu couldn't help but make gestures, but to no avail.

Shen An felt that these sticks were really boring, so he stopped the artillery firing and called Shi Shen over.

"Tell the officials and princes how to measure the distance between your eyes."

He went to the back, found his horse, took off his water bag and drank.

The sacrifice over there has already begun to be explained.

"Close and open your left eye and right eye one after another. You can get a distance in the distance. You can estimate the length of this distance. Ten times is the distance."

As he spoke, he measured it and said: "This place is more than a hundred or three steps away from the front target."

"Go and measure it."

Zhao Shu was a little curious, but more suspicious.

So someone got a ruler and measured it along the way.

When he got to the target, the man stood up, thought about it, and ran back.

"Your Majesty, one hundred and three steps... almost."

He looked at She Shen with disbelief in his eyes.

Is this guy really successful in cultivating Taoism?

Those who can measure the distance with just a glance... what are they if they are not experts?

In an instant, everyone's eyes became intense.

Wen Yanbo whispered: "Izumo looks really powerful, his Taoism is profound, look back..." He glanced at Bao Zheng, "Look back and introduce Xiren to me, okay?"

The relationship between Izumo-gwan and Shen An couldn't be better. If Bao Zheng comes forward, Wen Yanbo will naturally get what he wants.

Bao Zheng said in confusion: "Izumo Monastery has lost its Taoist teachings a long time ago, and now they are all making steel. What do you want to ask, Kuanfu?"

Wen Yanbo pointed at him and said with a smile: "Why should Xiren do this? Just recommend him to me."

The two of them had a deep personal friendship, so Bao Zheng agreed.

Han Qi over there was already questioning, "Could it have been measured in advance? Your Majesty, I want to designate a new place for him to measure."

Zhao Shu nodded.

Han Qi asked a sergeant to run to the left.

"Run some more... run some more... OK! Stop!"

The sergeant stood still and said, "Let's try it."

Everyone looked at She Shen and saw that he raised his right hand and stretched forward without hesitation. His confident look reminded people of Shen An from before.

After a few times, Shi Shen said: "Seventy-two steps is more."

"quantity!"

This time, the prime ministers and assistants followed the surveying sergeant all the way.

When he arrived in front of the sergeant, the distance was clear.

"Seventy-two steps..."

There is still half a step ahead.

Everyone looked back at She Shen, and Han Qi said: "What a good method! What a good method!"

"But right?" Upon seeing this, Zhao Shu knew something in his mind and whispered: "Go back and check this sacrifice carefully. If possible, I want to discuss Taoism with him."

The Liao Dynasty worshiped Buddhism, the Song Dynasty... It’s hard to say what they worshiped. For example, Wang Yu was a Buddhist and Taoist practitioner, as was Su Shi. In the end, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism merged...

This is the characteristic of this era.

"What a profound Taoist teaching this is!"

Wen Yanbo was moved.

He believes in Buddhism, but this does not prevent him from studying profound Taoism. This is also in line with the religious habits of the Central Plains region.

We change our faith in gods. The only unchanging god is our ancestors, who have been worshiping us for thousands of years.

"Taoist Master, may I ask what kind of Taoism this is?"

Everyone was a little excited.

At this moment, some magical powers similar to clairvoyance and clairvoyance were wandering in their minds.

What a magical power!

If you can learn it, wouldn't you be a god?

Saishen said: "This is a distance measurement method."

"Isn't it Taoism?"

Everyone still refused to give up.

In this era, the pursuit of immortality is the common goal of kings and ministers. Except for a few open-minded people, everyone is pondering some Buddhist scriptures, hoping to find the secret to longevity.

She Shen said: "This is what Taoist brother taught me."

"Shen An?"

Wen Yanbo stood on tiptoe slightly and saw Shen An chatting with Cao Yan behind, with an excited look on his face.

This doesn’t look like an expert!

"Call him."

When Shen An arrived, Wen Yanbo asked, "Is this distance measurement method a Taoist method?"

"Taofa?"

Shen An suddenly laughed, heartily.

Is the ranging method a Taoist method?

Shen An couldn't help but laugh.

The faces of Jun and Chen gradually darkened, and Bao Zheng shouted: "Be more serious!"

Shen An gasped: "This is knowledge in miscellaneous studies, knowledge in geometry."

Well!

Zhao Shu's face turned darker, "What geometry?"

Someone recited: "Singing to wine, life is like dew in the morning, there will be many hardships in the passing days."

Shen An had a black line on his head, "This is knowledge, triangle..."

"What triangle?"

"triangle……"

Shen An began to explain and analyze. The emperor and his ministers looked incomprehensible, stroking their beards and smiling from time to time. It was obvious that they had gained something.

"... Multiply the judged distance by ten times to get the distance. The distance measurement method requires experience and talent. If you sacrifice yourself, you will have talent, and distance measurement is the most accurate."

Shen An finished speaking.

Jun and Chen looked confident, but their minds were in a mess.

Han Qi muttered, then smiled and said: "I have thought a lot, but I am still at a loss. I don't understand at all. Will you understand?"

This old guy really can't help but pick up any pot!

Everyone was pretending to understand, but when he said this, it was all exposed.

Zeng Gongliang said awkwardly: "I understand a little bit."

Bao Zheng said honestly: "I don't understand it at all. It's like listening to a book from heaven."

Fu Bi sighed: "When Emperor Zhenzong was in power, he often had some heavenly books, but at least he could explain a few things. What kind of triangle is this, what is a few tenths of a step... I am so confused that I feel dizzy. Anbei , Is this something easy to learn?"

Shen An said seriously: "It's not difficult to learn. Nowadays, many students in Mangshan Academy are proficient in geometry."

Wang Anshi thought of the knowledge that his son often talked about when he came home, and felt that he still had a lot to learn. "There is a lot of knowledge in miscellaneous studies. My elder brother often mentioned it when he came home, but I didn't understand it. My elder brother ...If it weren’t for the relationship between father and son, I’m afraid he would despise me.”

Wang Yu was arrogant, and everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

But then he fell into deep thought.

This kind of knowledge is magical. The students understand it, but we don’t understand anything.

This is inappropriate!

Wang Anshi took advantage of the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the students of Mangshan Academy should be paid more attention to, and we should not let them wander around."

Zhao Shu felt that his mind was full of confusion, and he said: "Try the artillery first, and we will discuss this later."

Wang Anshi's assist made Shen An happy, and he even smiled at Wen Yanbo for the first time.

He couldn't stop laughing!

It has become a routine for students from Mangshan Academy to enter the Third Division. They use their professional knowledge to sweep the Third Division, and even supporters of the old party have to kneel down.

But the Third Division is just a corner. If the miscellaneous studies and academies want to develop greatly, they have to go to more places.

As soon as the ranging method came out today, the opportunity came.

"Get ready."

Everyone was calm and looked at Saishen's command.

"Charge!"

A sergeant stuffed the medicine bag wrapped in silk into it, and then stabbed it a few times with a wooden stick wrapped in cloth strips.

"Load!"

Iron bullets were put in.

He sacrificed himself to measure the distance and shouted: "One hundred and five steps...an extra third of a step!"

The gunnery sergeants immediately began to operate.

I saw that they had messed around a lot, and the height of the muzzle had changed.

Shi Shen finally measured the distance, bowed his head and said: "Infinite Blessings Heavenly Lord...light the fire!"

A sergeant used a fire stick to light the fuse plugged into the fire door.

Hee hee hee…

Boom boom boom boom…

Intensive roars came one after another, like thunder from the nine heavens, or like the roars of gods and demons from the ground.

This was the first time that the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty saw the intensive firing of artillery, and they were all shocked. Wen Yanbo, who saw the artillery fire for the first time, was completely confused. He subconsciously held Bao Zheng's arm next to him.

The projectile flew out, and the black spots were very clear.

Twenty iron bullets crossed the space of one hundred and five steps and plunged into the target group.

With his gaze, he could see that the wooden targets turned into sawdust in an instant.

The sky was filled with flying wood chips, and the iron bullets smashed through the target and swept across.

"Landed!"

Wen Yanbo kept holding that breath, and when he saw the iron bullets starting to fall, he felt more comfortable.

But after the iron bullet hit the ground, it actually rebounded, then smashed through the wooden target in front of it, and rushed forward.

The king and his ministers were silent.

Everyone was shocked by the power of the artillery salvo.

"Clean the barrel!"

The sound of sacrifice came.

When everyone looked around, they saw the sergeants holding a long wooden pole. One end of the pole was wrapped in a thick cloth, which seemed to have water or oil on it.

The sergeants thrust hard, pumping up and down.

"Why is this?" Zhao Shu asked.

"Gunpowder burns violently in the barrel of the gun, leaving behind residues and sparks. If left alone, the gunpowder bag may be ignited by sparks after being stuffed into it... And if those residues are not cleaned up, it will also affect the loading of the artillery, UU Reading www. uukanshu.ｎnet affects the life of the artillery."

Everyone suddenly realized.

"There's a lot of truth in this!"

Wang Anshi assisted again.

Which of you understands this?

The Taoist priests at Izumo Temple understand, but it is impossible for the Song Dynasty to let these Taoists operate artillery, right?

Zhao Shu was deep in thought.

It's ready over there.

I saw Saishi kneeling on one knee at the edge of the cannon, bowing his head and saying: "Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord... light the fire!"

He read with such compassion and piety.

The iron bullets flew again.

"Fusheng Infinite Heavenly Lord...light the fire!"

Boom boom boom boom…

After five rounds of shelling, the sound of the artillery was already getting hot, so he stopped loading and stood up to deliver his duties.

Shen An pointed forward and said, "Everyone, please take a look."

The king and his ministers looked over together.

The target group in front was in a mess, and Han Qi lost his voice: "It's like being charged and killed by a group of cavalry, no, it's more powerful than that."

Zhao Shu said: "What will happen if there are enemy cavalry ahead?"

Everyone's breathing quickened.

"If it's an enemy rider, it will be hell!"

The iron bullets will create a hell ahead.

Hell of flesh and blood!

Everyone looked at the artillery with undisguised excitement.

This is the God of War in the Song Dynasty!

There are many artillery, and those sergeants have been practicing for a long time. Now facing the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty, they can't help but feel proud.

The smoke is gradually dissipating, but the hearts of the monarchs and ministers are still burning.

Northern Expedition!

The word kept being whispered.

Today is still the fourth update, monthly pass.
