Shenkeng system

Chapter 223
"There is no news. After the emperor's award and the imperial decree for laboring soldiers a few days ago, there is no news in the past few days..." He Wenyu said.

"Yes, if there is any news from the court, I should be the first person to know... Captain Gao has been back to Kyoto for a month! The New Year is coming soon! If successful, we will have to celebrate the New Year at the frontier this year... In a bitter cold land, you Can't take it..."

"I grew up in the outskirts, so there's nothing I can't stand! Besides, the coal stove you made is burning hot with charcoal, and the tent is very warm. Now that the food supply is sufficient, there is nothing I can't bear!" He Wenyu Looks very satisfied.

In fact, Zhao Si also spent a lot of time in improving the lives of soldiers.After the grain was transported, because the previous imperial court had no logistical supplies for a long time and was in debt, so a lot of grain was transported in later, and the debts of the people were paid off, and the people were encouraged to collect nearby chestnuts and purchase them from other places A lot of dried wild vegetables, dried radishes, casually cut some diced meat and stir-fried, served with rice, plus the pickles provided by the court, it also supplemented fiber and vitamins... Of course, fruits and the like are very luxurious, so forget it...

Zhao Si commanded the army, sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, and working hard to improve their lives is one aspect. The key is that Zhao Si has a flexible mind, novel tactics, proper command, and uses the power of firearms to the extreme. In the eyes of Song Jun, who had always suffered defeats, this was simply unbelievable...

Not only did they win, they won beautifully!This made Zhao Si's prestige soar. In addition, he treated everyone as a human being and made all kinds of practical care for their health, which made him win more and more people's hearts.

This time, Zhao Si created the incomparably mighty "Invincible General". After testing the effect, the middle and high-level generals of the Tianwu Army looked at Zhao Si with awe...

There is even a popular joke in the army, saying that Zhao Si is not a human being!He was born as a young monk, but in fact, he was the heavenly king holding the country beside the Tathagata Buddha.

What's more, it is estimated that in the tiles of Zhao Sikai in Bianjing, I have heard too many stories about the four masters and apprentices learning scriptures, and it is said that Zhao Si fought and defeated the Buddha to come down to the world, slay demons and demons, and be invincible... I guess Those who spread such rumors must be fans of Journey to the West...During this period, stories such as Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were all the rage in the Song Dynasty, and everyone told them!This is all thanks to Zhao Sikai’s wazi. Zhao Si told these stories back then, and after inviting literati to polish them, they handed them over to a large number of hired storytellers. Listening to it for a few taels of money will not stop the boring Song Dynasty idlers...

Far away!Having said that, Zhao Si's words in the army are more effective than the imperial decree. Take this as an example, the cannon cast by Zhao Si weighs more than [-] catties, and it is a thick and heavy iron pipe. The soldiers worked together and tried every means to pull up each cannon to the designated position within the specified time...

Before this, he trained a group of gunners. Although they haven't been trained for a long time, these people's level is not very good, but it doesn't matter. Zhao Si's plan is to let them fight in this unhurried actual combat. Take your time practicing target shooting...

Of course, after the Tianwu Army is well trained, they will definitely be transferred back to defend the capital. Even if they guard the border here, the troops they lead can only be another group of unknown border troops... But this does not matter, the Tianwu Army is well trained. Now, the craftsmen have gone back to cast cannons in the capital. In the future, if the barbarians from the north come in from several directions, there will be people who will protect Bianjing of the Song Dynasty from being breached...

In fact, the Song Dynasty in history was not only broken into the capital, but also captured two emperors. This incident made Zhao Si, who knew a little bit of history, feel very embarrassed!What to do?How can the emperor of a country let people say that a prisoner is a prisoner?
Before Zhao Si traveled, what he knew was history after all. Although it was related to him, it didn't have much to do with him!After all, the emperor didn't lose it in his own hands!Ever since Zhao Si went to the imperial court to become an official, especially now that he was leading soldiers, he felt a little stressed!How embarrassing would it be to let the people of the Jin Kingdom capture their emperor at this time?

It's different now, since I've come here, the place has changed!Since you want to change, then change thoroughly!He can't do some messy things here without pain or itching, he has always felt that he needs to save this Song Dynasty and reverse this bit of history!
To make a dynasty strong, there are only two things to do, rich country and strong army!The situation we are now facing is more urgent, the country is already in a mess, surrounded by powerful enemies, so from a strategic point of view, we must implement the army first strategy!
Zhao Si started to engage in gunpowder, ironware, steam, and electricity from the very beginning. Of course, making money is one purpose, but it is not the most important purpose. He actually wanted to gradually form this preliminary industrial system. , use iron and fire to fight against them!He believed that the Hulu who engaged in riding and shooting were indeed stronger than the army of the Song Dynasty in terms of force, but they must not be able to compare with the army of the Song Dynasty equipped with firearms, especially cannons!

Zhao Si was thinking a lot. He was feeling melancholy and feeling the world. Suddenly a soldier ran up and said, "Commander! All the cannons have been fixed at the designated positions. They have been loaded and aimed at the target. Do you want to fire them?"

"send!"

"Boom! Boom!..."

First, the first row launches. After the first row launches, the second row launches next!At the same time as the second row fired, the first row started loading!After the second row fired, the third row started firing. When the third row finished firing, the first row was also loaded!This firepower is circulating...

The batch of cannons that were pulled up to the top of the mountain were all loaded with blooming ammunition, which was actually a large thunderbolt!It's just that its lead wire has to be temporarily adjusted according to the distance of the range, so as to ensure that these flowering bombs can only explode when they land, and they will not explode in mid-air, or explode for a long time after landing, giving the enemy a chance...

Looking around, the entire Xiefeng Valley was filled with smoke in a short while, and the enemy's surprised and shouted voices, even Zhao Si and the others who were far away on the top of the mountain, could hear them very clearly!
"Soldiers, shoot out all the cannonballs you brought up today!" Following Zhao Si's order, another wave of cannonballs roared and flew towards the Valley of the Evil Wind...
