Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 523 Head wind is a tradition

Han Chang'an.

Zhang Fei looked at the light screen, and then chose to silently crush the note in his hand.

Just now Song Emperor Zhao Da asked for a way to lead the army. Zhang Fei thought about it:

The second brother is guarding Jingzhou, Zilong is in Jiangdong, the elder brother is busy with internal affairs, and the military advisor is engaged in engineering.

Even Ma Mengqi has been living in Chang'an for the past six months and traveling around.

Then, if we talk about the method of leading troops, if we talk about the side experience, who else is there in the hall at this moment other than me?

As a result, Zhang Fei himself was still thinking about how to summarize the key points of the Northern Expedition from Yizhou to Chang'an, when he saw the words floating on the light screen:

〖Li Shimin: Do you know the powerful cannon of the Tang Dynasty? 〗

After these words, more names of Tang officials flashed on the light screen, almost all of which were names that had been mentioned in the history of the early Tang Dynasty in previous and later generations.

The person named Li Jing calmly described how the Tang artillery made the Tuyuhun cavalry useless, and finally completed his victory in one battle, capturing the Qinghai land. There was also a supplement named Pei Xingjian in the middle.

The person named Yan Lide briefly described the simple principles of Tang cannon, and said that the most secret thing among them is the gunpowder ratio, and a slight difference can lead to a difference in prestige several times.

So Zhang Fei could only silently crumble the method of leading troops that he had just written with great interest.

What the officials of the Tang Dynasty said was simple, but it was enough to make Zhang Fei fascinated, so he naturally turned his eyes to Kong Ming:

"The military advisor is so powerful..."

Perhaps because he thought his reputation was not enough, Zhang Fei thought for a moment and said:

"Do you have the Han Tianwei general cannon?"

Kong Ming couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. While looking at what Li Jing and Yan Lide said on the light screen, he wrote while still having enough time to persuade Zhang Fei:

"Yide is hundreds of years older than the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, why should he fight for this false reputation?"

A simple sentence temporarily extinguished the competitive spirit in Zhang Fei's heart, but he still inevitably yearned for the artillery, so he still asked:

"When can we see the cannon made by the military advisor?"

After all, according to what Li Jing said, the prestige of this thing on the battlefield was really terrifying, and Zhang Fei wanted to personally lead such a sect to test its power against the Cao thief.

Pang Tong didn't know what Zhang Fei was thinking, so he explained aloud:

"When the artillery is ready for use, we can recruit soldiers for training and open a divine artillery camp in the army."

Zhang Fei was immediately happy when he heard this:

"With the wisdom of a military advisor, it will be just around the corner. I am willing to learn artillery!"

Ma Chao next to him grinned, mentally planning to ask Mr. Xuande privately after the show was over.

After comforting Zhang Fei, Pang Tong sighed in his heart.

In fact, it can be said that there have been many difficulties since the beginning of the trial production of the cannon.

Iron cannons are difficult to cast and easy to explode, while copper cannons are soft and expensive, so they are not good materials for casting cannons. Kong Ming said that he might have to try the "alloy" method, as he has not yet tried out a suitable cannon body formula.

The Tang Dynasty also encountered these problems. For example, Pang Tong saw clearly that just now Li Jing, the military god, reported that when the artillery was fighting in Tuyuhun, nearly 20% of the artillery was useless before firing. The more it will be.

From the time the artillery arrived to the time the Tuyuhun bandit leader was captured, only five rounds were fired, and most of the artillery brought to Qinghai had been broken into pieces, making it difficult to fight again.

Therefore, Pang Tong felt that if he wanted to quickly complete the research on this artillery, he might need...

Before he could finish thinking, he saw that Kong Ming had already written the note, and then he rolled up the note like the previous lord and flicked it directly into the light screen with his fingers:

〖Zhuge Liang: Since Yan Jiangzuo has made a wooden cannon with iron hoops, why not try to use iron hoops and copper cannon bodies, stacking two layers in order to achieve greater power?

Li Shimin: Marquis Wu’s knowledge extends to both modern and ancient times. Isn’t it just an empty statement? !

Yan Lide: Hoop copper with iron, cover it with copper skin, hoop iron again, and fill the gaps with other things?

Zhuge Liang: Yan will be worthy of the praise of future generations. It turns out that he is a talented person in engineering. As for the method of making gunpowder difficult to carry, I also have a guess.

……〗

In the Manna Palace.

Seeing Zhuge Wuhou on the light screen saying that he had been waiting for the good news for him for three months, Yan Lide also sincerely praised:

"Zhuge Wuhou is worthy of the name of a genius through the ages, and his insights are truly enlightening!"

Hearing what Yan Lide said, a look of proud pride suddenly appeared on Li Shimin's face standing aside:

"Of course!"

Yan Lide nodded sharply in agreement, and then explained:

"In the Battle of Qinghai, in addition to the weak gun body, many soldiers said it was difficult to fill the gun."

"If a cannon is filled with Chinese medicine powder if it is too little, the sound of the cannon will be weak; if it is filled with more Chinese medicine powder, it will be difficult to burn."

"The Five Mines Department all believes that the amount of powder used should be calculated based on the size of the cannon body and included in the artillery camp code."

"Wu Hou said that the difficulty in burning gunpowder is not because of the richness of the filling, but because there is no gap between the gunpowder powder."

The more Yan Lide talked about it, the more excited he became. He originally thought that the finer the grinding of gunpowder powder, the better. Marquis Wu told him that the burning of gunpowder also requires air.

At this moment, Yan Lide wished that the light curtain could leave as soon as possible, and he wanted to go back and give it a try.

Because he had a hunch that what Wu Hou said was probably true.

Li Shimin didn't understand what he heard, but seeing Yan Lide being so excited, he knew it was an important matter, so he smiled and nodded in praise:

"good."

Then he remembered something and asked:

"Now that Marquis Wu has given me some advice, can I repay him?"

Yan Lide nodded quickly:

"I thank Marquis Wu for giving me some gunpowder for the artillery. I express my gratitude with the formula of Wulei Department gunpowder."

Li Shimin nodded and said:

"That's good."

Kong Ming stretched out and looked at the dense text recorded in the notebook in front of him, with a smile on his face:

I benefited a lot from my exchange with Yan Lide.

At the same time, he was also secretly stunned by the wealth of the Tang Dynasty.

Now, although Xuande Gong has been winning continuously, he has not yet entered the Central Plains and won the blessed land. Therefore, his command must be careful about the grain, grass, salt, sugar, paper, iron, gold, coal, etc.

Copper was not even enough to make money, and iron was needed to make weapons, agricultural tools, and engineering equipment. There was no spare time. For example, the Tang Dynasty often consumed hundreds of kilograms of cannons and brought them to Qinghai to test their quality.

Although he knew the benefits of artillery last year, due to limited supplies, Kong Ming could only try casting small cannons with limited copper and iron to repeatedly verify his conjecture.

In Kong Ming's view, the exchange with Yan Lide just now was a blessing in disguise.

Yan Lide told all the most useful artillery types that the Tang Dynasty had simply and crudely tested in the Battle of Qinghai without any secrets.

Yan Lide wanted to verify some of Kong Ming's wild conjectures when he was casting cannons.

Finally, Yan Lide also presented several new gunpowder ratios, which were said to be the result of Yusi's transfer to gunpowder research.

"The kings and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were all good."

Kong Ming sighed, and then felt that he seemed to have forgotten something:

Why did you talk about this artillery in the first place?

For the first time in Bianliang, Zhao Kuangyin was fortunate to have arranged for several Xiaohuangmen to copy the notes, otherwise there would have been some gaps in the quick and close exchange between Zhuge Wuhou and Yan Lide.

But then I became a little troubled:

What about the "powerful cannon of the Tang Dynasty" that Emperor Taizong promised to teach him?

As a result, Jing was busy communicating with that Wuhou, and he couldn't get a word in at all!

When he turned around again, he was staring at Zhao Pu with big eyes and small eyes:

"Then we can tell, is there anyone in the court who understands this powerful artillery that promoted the Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Pu admired the official name change in his heart, and then Su Rong suggested:

"Your Majesty may need to revitalize the Ministry of Industry, or he may need to get rid of the stipend officials who serve as prison guards."

As Zhao Kuangyin's right-hand assistant, Zhao Pu is very clear about the current imperial court's structure. Simply put, it is to inherit the Tang Dynasty in general and modify the details as needed.

For example, although there is a Ministry of Works, its powers are actually divided among the three departments.

For example, although there are also generals as supervisors, Dushui supervisors, and Sitian supervisors, they are basically all in name only.

However, the people who sit still in these places are all salary officials, while the official officials who actually work are transferred more frequently, so they are basically the same.

As far as Zhao Pu knows, the most important thing that the Ministry of Works, General Supervisor, Du Shui Supervisor, Si Tian Supervisor, etc. are responsible for now is probably the only sacrifice.

Let it trial-produce artillery? Zhao Pu shook his head inwardly.

Zhao Kuangyin was well aware of this, and he hesitated for a while. To be honest, just based on the power of the artillery that Li Weigong said, he was not at ease if he asked him to hand it over to the Ministry of Works or to be supervised.

Seeing the official's dilemma, Zhao Pu was quite considerate and simply suggested:

"How about doing both things at the same time? We can establish an engineering institute to test this artillery, and let the emperor's heir take charge of it..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Kuangyin had already made up his mind, shook his head and said:

"This may be suspected of abuse of office. The Ministry of Industry should be punished and thought to be a powerful cannon to promote the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Pu agreed, recalling in his mind that later generations of judges were "frugal and dislike luxury", which was not wrong at all.

Mostly because the artillery discussion discussed by Marquis Wu and Yan Lide made the officials a little worried. The cost of casting cannons from copper was not cheap at all.

And if the Ministry of Works is reorganized, it will definitely arouse criticism from the court.

However, isn't this what the officials called me back to do?

Thinking about the evaluation of him by later generations, Zhao Pu felt that his mind became clearer.

This light curtain is not only an opportunity for the official family, but also his.

Instead of "paying homage to the Prime Minister three times" to help Zhao Guangyi deal with the aftermath.

It is better to follow the officials in front of you and do your best for one day.

Simple communication between the monarch and his ministers has determined the decisions involving the court.

As the words faded away, the light curtain changed from pitch black to colorful again.

Zhao Kuangyin still felt magical as he watched the painting that was still wet on his hand appear in the light curtain.

【Hi hi hi hi!

Our old custom unboxing session is here again!

It’s still the same old rules, let’s look at things one by one.

The one at the top of the list is of course a painting that fits the theme perfectly!

Appreciate the new cultural relic "Chanling Xingxi Mausoleum Picture" produced in the Shang (last) Zhou Dynasty]

The painting cannot be said to be very exquisite, but the writing is extremely regular and the characters can be considered lifelike.

The painting shows Zhao Guangyi lying on the ground and trying to escape. Behind him, Zhao Kuangyin is holding his belt with disdain, looking back and joking with a scribe behind him.

At the end, there is a simple inscription: "In the year of Kaibao, the King of Jin conspired to rebel. The emperor was magnanimous and only punished him slightly."

〖The King of Jin is plotting rebellion? I don’t believe it, but I believe you said Zhao Er was racing with Zhao Da. If he had the courage to rebel as Zhao Da did when he was alive, he wouldn’t have been scared out of his wits during the battle at Gaoliang River.

Not to mention his courage, Zhao Er's scumbag force is not enough for Zhao Da to fight with one hand. 〗

At this moment, Zhao Guangyi, who was looking up and watching, felt like crying bitterly: This junior understands him!

〖By the way, is this the most popular Taizong in all dynasties? The Battle of Caoliang River and Yongxi's Northern Expedition eliminated the possibility of reunification. The Battle of Bach Dang River also allowed Vietnam to achieve independence. The Song Dynasty was really "prosperous" on the second hand of Zhao.

Among Taizong, there was Liu Yu, Taizong of the Southern Dynasty Song Dynasty. It's hard to say who is better between him and Zhao Er, but these two people should be basically sure that they are the second to last among Taizong.

In fact, the temple name of Taizong is not bad, mainly because Erfeng has too many points. Although Judy was also Taizong at the beginning, but later Jiajing old man changed it to Chengzu. It is hard to say whether it is regarded as Taizong's first death.

If Zhao Dazhen was so fierce, how could Zhao Er kill his own brother? He couldn't really have poisoned him, right?

In fact, the UP host is also making headlines in this issue. The current academic circle of the Golden Chamber Alliance is biased towards falsification. From the beginning to the end, the UP host only said that he was suspicious, but I personally think that Zhao Da may have suffered from high blood pressure and sudden cerebral hemorrhage. , I remember that the genes of the Northern Song Dynasty royal family were not good either.

Pull it down, it’s just a guess that Zhao Daye has high blood pressure. It’s Zhao Er who is not good at Shi Chui’s gene. He actually has a record of hypertension and stroke. In addition, Song Zhenzong died of a cerebrovascular sudden disease. The records of Renzong, Yingzong and Shenzong are very similar. He got sick. He would sometimes lose the ability to speak and drool at the corners of his mouth, which was basically consistent with the symptoms of cerebrovascular disease. It was basically inherited from Shichui. Zhezong was unlucky. According to the records, it was tuberculosis, but Huizong didn't mention it. He died in the Jin Kingdom and the specific reason is unknown.

In the final analysis, he is still a loser. If Gaolianghe really wins a battle and takes Youzhou City, history may be rewritten; Yongxi's Northern Expedition simply cannot afford to lose. Cao Bin will not be able to suppress the arrogant soldiers if he does not give him command. Strong general, but Yongxi's Northern Expedition was also completely ruined.

If you don't like it, practice more. If you can't afford to lose, don't play. 〗

It’s not that Zhao Guangyi has never read history books. He once read the history of the Southern Dynasties and Song Dynasty. At that time, he was filled with emotion: Liu Jinu was such a hero, how come his grandson was so extravagant, cruel and mediocre?

Who would have thought that Emperor Song Ming, whom he despised in every possible way, could be compared with himself. For a moment, Zhao Guangyi's eyesight almost went dark.

Zhao Kuangyin had no time to pay attention to his cheap brother. He stared at the record on the light screen that talked about "genes", "heredity", "hypertension" and other words, and felt that it was extremely familiar.

Then he thought about it, wasn't this a headache caused by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty?

It was also from this that Zhao Kuangyin suddenly remembered what he had forgotten: Oh no, he originally planned to consult the imperial doctor of the Han and Tang Dynasties for consultation from a distance, but he was so fascinated by the Xingsong Shenwei Cannon that he forgot about it.

But... it should be too late to ask Tang Taizong after three months?

It's not a bad thing to go back and summon the imperial physician from Bianliang. First, let the imperial physician take two sets of medicine for the wind disease on your head and take it.

On the other side, Zhao Pu stared at the person above his head and sighed in a few words:

"This Ding Dynasty, I am afraid that the disaster of abolishing the elder and establishing the younger will finally happen."

This sigh drew Zhao Kuangyin's attention. He raised his head and thought for a while before recalling:

"This Ding tribe leads a small territory and is called Da Quyue. Although they are familiar with Chinese etiquette, they are arrogant and complacent, which will lead to disaster."

Zhao Kuangyin didn't know why Jiaozhi was called Vietnam in later generations, but he knew about Ding country.

The founder of the country, Ding Buling, had good relations with the Song Dynasty and sent envoys to pay tribute, so he was a vassal.

However, Zhao Kuangyin had been worried about the Ding tribe leader before: he was quite unhappy with Ding Lian, who founded the foundation with him, and instead established him as the crown prince after the birth of his youngest son.

Abandoning the elders and establishing the young is the way to bring disaster. Now it seems that this Ding country has only inherited the superficial aspects of Chinese culture.

It is still necessary to make him return to China to study culture.

Maybe the battle of Baidengjiang will still be an opportunity in the future?

Zhao Kuangyin fell into deep thought.
