my wife is mulan

But even if you can’t install a baffle in front, you can build a small wooden house to cover the whole bed crossbow, just like building a bunker. The archery opening is a strip-shaped opening, which can ensure that the bed crossbow can be rotated left and right to launch.

Zhao Junsheng told Xu Yibao his thoughts, and Xu Yibao's eyes lit up after hearing this, and said: "If it's like this, the soldiers who operate the bed crossbow will be protected to the greatest extent! Come, let the warship The designer is calling!"

Soon a middle-aged man was called over. His eyes lit up after hearing this, and he took a soft ruler to measure it. The height of this bunker should not be higher than the two bed crossbows at the back.

"It's absolutely possible. It's easy to add such a wooden house. Just nail it with thick wooden boards and reinforce it, and then paint it with tung oil and dry it in the sun!"

Xu Yibao immediately asked the designer to organize construction craftsmen to make one first to see how it works.

Next, Xu Yibao and Wu Xi led Zhao Junsheng and others to a larger warship, which looked really unusually big.

"Your Majesty, this is a large warship of 320 materials. It is the largest warship in our navy. A total of [-] warships have been built. Each ship is equipped with a total of [-] sailors and five bed crossbows with a range of one thousand steps. There are three hundred bows and crossbows! If you want to attack the city near the river, you can also set up three trebuchets on the warship!"

"This kind of large ship is not even in Liu Song's navy. The largest warship in Liu Song's navy is only [-] materials. The combat power of our warship is much higher than Liu Song's [-] materials. !"

The warship of [-] materials is indeed very big. Zhao Junsheng walked around the upstairs and downstairs of the warship, and asked Xu Yibao: "Can our warship sail at sea?"

Xu Yibao said: "Your Majesty, our warships can withstand strong storms and shaking without capsizing. According to the masters who designed them, they have a very low center of gravity and strong stability. I have never tried it in oceangoing sailing." , but offshore navigation is absolutely no problem!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "This design is good. Our warships must not only be able to navigate inland rivers, but also sail out to sea!"

After visiting the warship, Wu Xi clasped his fists and asked, "Your Majesty, when will our army be able to fight across the river? The soldiers have been practicing day and night for five years, in order to fight to the south of the Yangtze River in one go, to rule the world for your majesty, and to end the troubled times as soon as possible." , to rescue the suffering people in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "I am working hard now that I have enough soldiers and food, and I can send troops to fight at any time. It's just that the teacher came out of nowhere. We are missing an opportunity!"

Minister Lu Xuan said: "What Your Majesty said is true. Our dynasty has signed a ten-year peace treaty with Liu Song, and now only five years have passed. If there is no reason enough to send troops to war, it is really difficult for our dynasty to send troops, and the people are also unwilling. Not much support."

The national teacher Dongfang Chen said with a smile: "It's not easy for your majesty to make a teacher famous? There is no excuse, we can make an excuse!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "What excuse does the National Teacher think we can make?"

Dongfang Chen said: "You can let a merchant ship sail on the big river regardless of the obstruction of Liu Song's navy. As long as Liu Song's navy dares to use force, let the people on the merchant ship cut through the ship, and my court said that the merchant ship was attacked by Liu Song's navy. And sunk, and then use this as an excuse to send troops!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while and shook his head: "Although such an excuse is feasible, and our court has a reason to send troops, it is still not convincing enough. A discerning person will know that this is intentional planting. In view of their resentment and common hatred, we should wait for this matter! The navy drills cannot be slackened, but proper rest is still necessary, and we must pay attention to adjustments!"

Xu Yibao clasped his fists and agreed: "I obey the order!"

The wait for this opportunity is two years.

After working hard for 27 years, Zhao Junsheng just turned 50 this year.

In the past few years, the Eastern Roman Empire in the West and the Sasanian Dynasty in Persia have been fighting in full swing in Syria, and no one has made any bargains.

The old king of Persia died, and his second son, Hormuz III, succeeded to the throne. The eldest son Belus fled from Sistan to Khorasan in order to avoid hunting, and sent people to ask the surrounding Red Huns to help them fight. The people, also known as the Jidoluo people, are the remnants of the Guishuang Empire.

Of course, there is a price to be paid for inviting the Jidoro people to fight. Belus promised to share half of the wealth obtained after defeating Taisifeng to the Jidoro people. Thousands of cavalry marched westward and entered Khorasan.

Khorasan was originally the fiefdom of Belus, and the army obeyed his orders. The army of the Red Huns entered Khorasan without any resistance. Belus gathered the troops in Khorasan and commanded them to fight against the Red Huns. The Huns attacked westward together.

This battle lasted for two years. Belus led his army and the Red Huns all the way to Taixifeng and captured its city, killed Hormuz III, and took control of the Persian regime.

However, the uneven distribution of spoils between Belus and the Red Huns aroused strong dissatisfaction from the Red Huns, and the Red Huns invaded Persia again.

Persia, which had just quelled the civil strife, was unable to resist the menacing Red Huns. Belus I had the cheek to ask for help from his arch-rival, the Eastern Roman Empire, but the Eastern Roman Empire did not have Belus I at all.

Belus I had no choice but to humbly ask the Red Huns for peace and promised to marry his own sister to the Red Huns. You must know that in Persia, it is normal for brothers and sisters to get married. Belus originally wanted to marry himself His sister is the queen, how could he be willing to give his sister to the Red Huns?So he found a woman who looked similar to his sister as a princess to marry the Red Huns, but the trick was soon seen through by the Red Huns, who was furious and sent troops to attack Persia again.

Belus I repeated the old trick again, and used this trick to leverage his strength. He sent someone to lobby King Yanda, and asked King Yanda to join forces to attack the Red Huns, and promised to pay a high commission. After conquering the Red Huns, all their territories belonged to the Yanda people.

The Yanda people immediately sent troops to attack the Red Huns together with Persia, and there have been continuous wars in the past two years.

The 27th year of Daqian, the 22nd of the first month.

Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and others were watching in the Royal Animal Garden. In order to maintain the wildness and ferocity of the beasts in the Royal Animal Garden, the official management office of the Royal Animal Garden only put in live food, and it was released from time to time, which forced those The beasts at the top of the food chain eat themselves.

Therefore, although the Royal Beast Garden has been established for more than ten years, the wild beasts in the garden are still extremely ferocious.

"Your Majesty, this lion seems to be sick!" Wan Yutong said.

Zhao Junsheng said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, very normal, don't worry about it!"

At this time, the old eunuch Kang Yide came over and reported: "Your Majesty, the King of Shu has arrived!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Let him come over!"

The purpose of Zhao Junsheng to let Zhao Ping come here is to let him take office in Sichuan and Sichuan. Since he was assassinated and injured by the princess of Nanjun a few years ago, Zhao Ping has been staying in the capital and going to Yizhou. In the past two years, their brothers There are signs of fighting again, and it is getting more and more intense.

Zhao Junsheng had a headache because of this, so he had to discuss with Hua Mulan to send the King of Shu to Yizhou to serve. Although Hua Mulan was reluctant to let her son leave, she had to agree with Zhao Junsheng's decision in order to prevent their brothers from fighting each other.

Zhao Ping came over to salute: "I pay my respects to my father, mother, and aunt!"

Zhao Junsheng: "Let's get back down! I discussed it with my mother and aunt, and decided that you will go to Yizhou to serve as the governor. You should prepare and leave in three days. There is no need to discuss this matter!"

Chapter 1115 Ultimatum

Zhao Junsheng decided to let Zhao Ping go to Yizhou after careful consideration. The third brother fought too fiercely with the prince, and there was also a fourth brother, Zhao Ting, and fifth brother, Zhao Lei. None of these four brothers was easy-going.

His idea was to send Zhao Ping away first, and then send the fourth and fifth sons to work in other places one by one. If the brothers are not together and stay away from the imperial court, there will be less troubles.

By separating these brothers, Zhao Junsheng's purpose was not only to prevent them from fighting, but also to protect them.

Zhao Ping was silent for a while and said: "Father, my son doesn't want to leave Beijing!"

Zhao Junsheng turned to look at Zhao Ping, "It's not up to you to decide, whether you want to or not, you have to go, if you don't go, I will send someone to escort you away!"

"This is unfair to my son!"

"What is fairness? Someone else's son grew up eating bran and swallowing vegetables, and you have been holding a golden key since birth. You tell me it's unfair? I'll give you one last chance and go to Yizhou by yourself!"

Zhao Ping left angrily.

In the following month, Zhao Junsheng sent the fourth son, Zhao Ting, and the fifth son, Zhao Lei, to serve in Qingzhou and Liangzhou respectively. He only made them serve as local officials, but not let them become vassals.

As soon as the three brothers left, the court did not calm down. Some ministers criticized and impeached each other. Zhao Junsheng didn't care about it. People, once verified, will be severely punished for the crime of framing important ministers, ranging from dismissal to decapitation.

Afterwards, Zhao Junsheng severely rectified the imperial court and local governments, and all court or local officials who had close contacts with the princes and were at fault would be arrested and brought to justice.

The records in the archives of the pending lawsuit shall prevail. Anyone who has violated the law and discipline will be arrested and cleaned up batch by batch at regular intervals, so as to maintain the integrity of the official team and the political clarity in the officialdom. Officials were honest, diligent, and caring for the people. They also set up a group of models for praise, and ordered the relevant yamen of the imperial court and local government to vigorously publicize this aspect.

Zhao Junsheng's series of actions attracted the support of most officials from the imperial court and local governments, and they were also applauded by the people.

On August [-]th of this year, a news spread from Qiantang to Chang'an that Song Mengkang, the envoy of Qianguo stationed in Qiantang of Liu Song State, was killed in the embassy.

After Zhao Junsheng finished reading the eight-hundred-mile urgent report, he told the old eunuch Kang Yide in a deep voice: "Pass the decree and let the ministers enter the palace to discuss matters!"

Soon, a bell was heard from the palace to call the ministers into the palace to discuss matters, and the ministers came one after another.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"
