Chapter 839

The east was slightly white, and the Qi military camps outside Dashan Pass sounded their horns one after another.

Groups of soldiers and horses, wearing armor, swords and bows, walked out of the camp.The Huotou Army cooked rice in a pot, and the aroma of rice made people salivate.

When the soldiers finished their breakfast, they lined up and drove out of the camp amid a new round of drums and trumpets, as if hundreds of rivers were heading towards the sea, quickly converging into one stream.Monk Hua looked up at the eastern sky, the red glow of the morning had not faded completely, and this new day had just begun.

The defenders who closed the gate naturally heard the report, and Liu Kai strode up to the critical moment.Looking into the distance, I could only hear the noise at first, but within two quarters of an hour, I saw a black tide appearing on the horizon, and the endless black tide quickly occupied every inch of people's field of vision. After a while, It felt like a wave of human voices, swarming with ants, shaking the surrounding mountains.

It gave people a feeling that in just a moment, the banners covered the ground, and the Qi army in the brigade had poured out like a flood.

Shi Dalang, the vanguard, and Li Qiong, the deputy general, led [-] troops to the city, unstoppable.Later Lu Zhishen personally led the army, Suo Chao, Tang Bin, Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin, Han Tao, Peng Qi, Ling Zhen, Zhang Zhongxiong, Hao Siwen, Sun Li, Sun Xin, Jie Bao, Zou Yuan and others led the more An army of [-] infantry artillery, mighty and mighty, approached.

Those from Han Tao, Peng Qi, etc. are all newly assigned by Lu Qian to the Northwest recently.Because Emperor Lu did not allow Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Yang Keshi, Yang Kesheng, Cookie, Qu Duan, Wang Jin, Wang Yuan, etc. to be used.

Cannons were pulled up to the front of the army one by one. When the dark and cold muzzles of the cannons were aimed at the head of Dashanguan City, an involuntary sense of tension and trembling arose among the Song army.

It is said that Song Jun is also trying his best to make cannons.

The great artist had the top craftsmen in the Central Plains during the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and the appearance of the cannon was not a secret thing. It had been sent to him long ago. The standard target at the beginning is the Bronze Cannon.

It's just that compared with the artillery that the Qi army has already cast in large quantities and put into actual combat, the artillery of the Song army appears to be limited and difficult to produce.

The design drawings were changed again and again.The cannons cast according to the size of the cannons of the Qi army don't mention the lifespan, but only the range and power.In order to ensure the range and power of the gun, they can only lengthen the length of the barrel and the size of the muzzle. This is a correct way to open it. Driven by the same amount of propellant, the length of the barrel of the same amount of shells is the same as that of the cannon. proportional to the range.And the power of the cannon is obviously the thicker the barrel of the cannon, the greater the power of the cannon.But doing so not only increased the difficulty in casting the cannon, but also greatly increased the weight of the cannon.Because the longer the barrel, the more difficult it is to cast, and because the larger the caliber of the cannon, the barrel must be thicker.In order to ensure that the gun barrel does not explode and bore, it is necessary to thicken the tube wall, and doing so will only increase the weight of the cannon.

Cannons of such weight have not been built yet, even if they have been built, they can only be used for defending the city, and cannot be used for field battles at all.

Moreover, the casting process of unit artillery takes a long time, and the quality cannot be controlled.Because the molds for casting cannons are clay molds.

During the casting process, Zhao Song craftsmen did not hesitate to choose clay molds, just like the master masters of Lu Qi Military Supervisor at the beginning.

However, the clay mold dries slowly in the shade, and it is easy to produce waste products, because the clay mold tends to cause a large number of bee eyes to appear in the barrel.

All this leads to the fact that the cannon that the great artist desires is still being cast in the foundry of Jinguan City.Therefore, in Dasanguan, a military important place, Zhao Song can only deploy a single stone cannon.

The Qi army is here, and the war is really about to start.In the Great Sanguan, everyone realized this.The news was quickly sent to Xingyuan Mansion [Hanzhong] by the defender Liu Kai, and then quickly spread to Chengdu.

After Zhao Ji heard about it, his whole body was whipped like this, and there was a needle hole under his buttocks, and he couldn't sit still anymore. "Quickly call the ministers and workers into the palace to discuss matters." Yun Wang Zhao Kai stayed by the side all the time, his face was pale, he was at a loss, and he was in a panic.

This dragon gives birth to a dragon and a phoenix, and the mouse's son can dig holes.With the father as a great artist as a role model, his remaining sons will either be useless or weak.

You can't deny the political skills of soft guys, they are soft but not stupid.

If Zhao Kai and Zhao Huan were the ones who escaped in history, they might not be inferior to Jiumei.In history, if Zhao Jiumei was not facing the Jurchen who had more than enough heart but not enough power, but a master like Emperor Lu who seized every land, Jiumei's performance would not be better than that of Zhao who fled to Dali. Huan is better.

Everything is fate.

Zhao Jiumei in the official history has room to escape, but Zhao Huan in Dali, as well as the Zhao family father and son in Jinguan City, have no way to escape.

"I want to raise the world's righteous men with fame and honor, what do you think?" The great artist was really scared by Lu Qi. He was already frightened before the Qi army came, but now he heard that the Qi army really came. , then there is no room for a little bit of backhand in his mind, and he only hopes to use all his strength to resist, so that he can pass the current threshold first.

If he can't bear it this time, the Zhao family's country will be completely lost!
His Highness Zhao Bushi's cheek twitched violently, "Famous and honorable men in the world? That's selling officials to sell nobles, right?" But he didn't say a word, because Zhao Bushi was very aware of the difficulties in front of him, and he understood the relationship between the Song army and the Qi army. The gap, if the madness of the officials can really save Sichuan and Shu, he will admit it.

And if Sichuan and Shu are not protected, and the ancestral temple of Jiangshan crashes, what harm will it do for great artists to sell their officials?
If so, he looked at Cai You and Li Bangyan and counted dozens of official positions one by one, from Chengjie, Chengxin, and Di Gonglang of the lower ninth rank to Lizheng, Xiezhong, and Zhongshi doctor of the fifth rank.Really treat the fame of the imperial court as cabbage and radish, and price them one by one.Zhao Bushi suddenly felt a sense of absurdity, as if the court hall of the Great Song Dynasty had suddenly turned into a market town for traders to bargain.

"Great Song Dynasty, Great Song Dynasty... why did it end here?"

To be honest, if this Zhao Bushi was a time traveler, he would really feel that Zhao Song died at the head of Zhao Ji at this moment, which was not as tragic as the death of the monarchs, ministers and soldiers who crossed the sea in the battle of Yashan.

However, such a policy quickly aroused huge repercussions among the people.

Chinese people have been very interested in being an official since ancient times. In an official-based society, no one wants to be an official.Especially the wealthy merchants, whose lower status in society made this class respond more enthusiastically to the matter than the gentry.

In fact, the first money earned by this policy was merchants from Shu.

On the contrary, the gentry from all over the country responded with a 'calm' attitude towards this matter.These people may dislike the filth and filth that comes from such "fame and fame", just like in history, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty publicly sold his officials and nobles to amass money wantonly.As a result, "commentators think it is copper stink", the word "bong stink" has left its name in history, bought officials and cut it, and its reputation has been destroyed for decades.But in the name of Cui Lie, it is still like this, how can ordinary people not think about it again and again?

Moreover, they were also afraid that taking such fame and fame would not benefit them much. In the future, when Zhao and Song Dynasties fell, and Lu Qi entered Sichuan and Shu, he would be blamed instead.

But they didn't know that Yan Qing was already taking action when the great artist proposed to sell officials and nobles in order to prepare more food and goods.In other words, the Sichuan and Sichuan Intelligence Department is already in action.

The officials who were controlled by them and instigated rebellion first invited the merchants under their jurisdiction with smiling faces. Everyone gathered together to remember the benevolent and good governance of the Song Dynasty, and then to talk about the difficult situation of the country today, and then to "buy and sell by force" It's a matter of course.

Once such an approach is used, it will be a shining candle in the dark night, so dazzling.Almost in the blink of an eye, the huge land of Sichuan and Shu began to "apportion" one after another.

If you are interested, you can find that the first few local officials who resorted to this method, although not far away, are by no means gathered together.It was as if everyone's orders had been accurately measured. Once something happened, the news could be easily spread to all directions, and in this way, the entire elite area of ​​Sichuan and Shu would know everything.

It is a pity that Zhao Song at this time, the information is gathering and it is still very slow, and he has never noticed this at all.

Guangdu Yuwen family.After hearing the news, Yuwen Huang Zhong suddenly found that he was not surprised at all.Yuwen Huangzhong, who had given up on Zhao Song for a long time, did not know when he started to have the state of mind that even a great artist is used to even a monster.

"Brother, why don't you also donate a fifth-rank doctor?" Yuwen Huang Zhong didn't feel nervous either.

On the contrary, his elder brother Yu Wenxuanzhong had a solemn expression on his face, "This is a big deal, do you still have the time to laugh?"

"Why are you joking? The merchants have been slaughtering for a week, and the knife will naturally fall on us. Instead of being forced to rush to get the official hat, my elder brother should take the initiative to get it. It is just to make the government trust me more Three points for the Yuwen family!"

Of course Yuwen Huangzhong understood his brother's difficulties and said with a smile: "The officials of Zhao and Song did such dirty things openly and without any cover-up. How could they hide it from the eyes and ears of Lu Qi's intelligence department? The Holy Emperor of Central Plains is above. If this is the case, If you blame us, it must not be true."

Both Yu Wen Xuanzhong and Yu Wen Yangzhong were lost in thought.What Lao San said makes sense.How could such actions be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Da Qi Emperor? If the emperor of the Lu family really attacked the gentry and merchants in Shu because of this incident, it must not be the real reason.That can only show that Emperor Lu did not want to use people from Sichuan and Shu from the bottom of his heart.But so may be too little, too little.

"Brother, go straight to the county government office to donate a seventh- and eighth-rank official, and by the way, donate a certain amount of black hats to me and my second brother."

Before Yu Wenxuanzhong could speak, Yu Wenyangzhong first followed suit and shouted: "The old man is right, I will also come to be the master of Huiguan in this case."

Among the three Yuwen brothers, he was the one whose literary name was the least prominent and who couldn't handle bows and knives, so he went into business.However, his heart is also the most eager to be an official.

Although this official hat has not been worn for a long time, it is hard to buy and I am happy.Yuwen Yangzhong is very interested.

And at least the land of Shu is still the territory of the old Zhao family. Even if the old Zhao family will be destroyed soon, he is still in charge of Guangdu.Even if this official is Mr. Guan, he is still an official, right?
"In my opinion, the eldest brother donates to Dali when he donates an official position, and the third brother also donates to Dali. The third brother is a Jinshi, so he may be able to be a real official. At that time, he will go to the new dynasty. Why not change it?" Was it promoted?"
