Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

Chapter 162

Everyone in the Song Dynasty was gnashing their teeth at Xixia, but they were also afraid of Xixia.

Without him, it was just because the Song Dynasty suffered too much from Xixia. Xixia and the Song Dynasty had been at war for many years. Although there were victories and defeats for each other, the Song Dynasty suffered heavy losses every time.

Nowadays, the fear of summer among all officials in the Song Dynasty has finally been cured by a single medicine, that is, gunpowder.

As more and more iron shells are delivered, their shape becomes more and more perfect and their power becomes more and more powerful.

The biggest use of gunpowder is to make firecrackers to drive away ghosts and evil spirits. Now Fan Zheng is using thunderous thunder to drive away the fear of Xixia in the hearts of all the officials bit by bit.

"It takes an elite warrior ten years of martial arts practice to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but a doctor named Fan has never practiced martial arts. He only needs to light up the thunderbolt and within five steps, no one will survive."

"An elite warrior is worthless, and the price of a thunderbolt is only one tael of silver. Even if it is one for one, the Song Dynasty will definitely make a profit."

………………

As Fan Zheng introduced the advantages of Zhentian Lei, Zhao Xu's eyes became brighter and brighter. Zhentian Lei was used to defend the city and was a powerful weapon. The denser the enemies, the greater the lethality of Zhentian Lei. It was just right Restrain Xixia and attack Pingxia City at the expense of human life.

Zhang Dun and other ministers nodded one after another. The appearance of Zhentian Lei gave them hope of the Song Dynasty's defense against Xixia.

"I request the Ministry of War to make all-out efforts to create thunderbolts for use in Pingxia City." Zhang Dun bowed and asked for orders. As long as there are enough thunderbolts, the hope of defending Pingxia City will be greater.

Zhao Xu solemnly nodded and said: "There is no shortage of gunpowder in the Song Dynasty. What is really urgently needed is the checkered iron shell. I rushed the iron shell drawings 800 miles to the northwest city and recruited blacksmiths from various cities to rush to make the checkered iron shell day and night."

"The officials are wise."

Not only Zhang Dun was shocked by the thunder, but even Lu Dafang was shocked by the thunder. From his point of view, let alone Fan Zheng who lit the thunder, even if he was an octogenarian or a child, he would be shocked. The discovery of the same enemy-killing effect greatly emboldened him.

The Song Dynasty did not lack divine arm crossbows, nor did it lack gunpowder. It was also easy to make checkered iron shells, and there were also blueprints for bastions. All of a sudden, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty became more and more confident in resisting Xixia.

Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Because of the fall of Jinmingzhai, there was an undercurrent in the DPRK. Some officials missed the peaceful days when Empress Dowager Gao was in power.

Fan Zheng used the bastion, divine arm crossbow and thunder to immediately calm the minds of the officials, which greatly improved his situation.

"I also asked the officials for permission to build Pingxia City. Once Pingxia City is defended, Xixia will definitely return without success. Empress Dowager Xiaoliang's intention to establish power in the Song Dynasty was shattered. Her master Shao Guo is suspicious, and the mother party is monopolistic. The Liang family is in a dilemma. Wei Xiaoliang is in a dilemma. I believe that the Liang family will rebel and can be used by the Song Dynasty!" Fan Zheng was moved in his heart and deliberately mentioned again that Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of Xixia listened to politics behind the curtain.

"The Liang family will rebel?" Zhao Xu was deliberately shocked when he heard Xian's intention.

Fan Zheng cooperated: "Yes, the Liang family of Xixia already has one family and two queens, and is extremely powerful. But now that the young emperor Li Qianshun of Xixia is ten years old, there are still several years left before he takes charge. There is only one way left for the Liang family, and that is to imitate the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang went a step further and replaced Xia with Liang."

Lu Dafang frowned and said: "Why didn't the Liang family take the initiative to delegate power and let the young emperor Li Qianshun take charge!"

All the officials nodded one after another. The reason why they supported Empress Dowager Gao was that they believed that Empress Dowager Gao would return power to Zhao Xu, but the time had not yet come.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said, "Because of human nature!"

"Human nature?" The ministers couldn't help but frown and looked at Fan Zheng in confusion.

Fan Zheng nodded solemnly and said: "If the first Empress Dowager Liang had taken the initiative to delegate power when she was in power, the Liang family might have succeeded and retired. However, the Liang family had already imprisoned Emperor Xia Hui once for the sake of power. How could the Xixia royal family not do this? Be prepared. When the young emperor of Xixia takes over, the first person to be on guard will definitely be the Liang family. Perhaps the Liang family can save their lives by actively delegating power. However, do the Liang family dare to gamble? Dare to bet that the young emperor Li Qianshun will not avenge his father. Dare to bet that after losing power, he will His enemies and the Xixia royal family will not take revenge on him, and the Wu Zang family, which was so powerful at that time, cannot escape the catastrophe of annihilation, let alone Liang Yibu?"

Everyone in the old party was silent. They understood that although Fan Zheng was talking about Xixia, he was actually talking about Empress Dowager Gao. It was impossible for Empress Dowager Gao to take the initiative to return power because it was against human nature. Based on this reasoning, Zhao Xu forced the palace to return. The righteousness of politics is justified.

"The Liang family has controlled the power of Xixia for twenty years. They are extremely powerful and enjoy great power. How can they be willing to give it up once? This is against human nature." Fan Zhengdao.

"It is indeed impossible for the Liang family to take the initiative to delegate power!"

Everyone in the New Party nodded. If the Liang family had wanted to return power, they would have returned it as early as the time of Xia Yizong and Li Liangzuo. Why wait until today? Not to mention that the Liang family has no chance to ascend to that position. This is a big deal for the relatives. The deadliest temptation.

"So there is only one way to go before the Liang family, and that is to rebel. Only rebellion is the only way to break the situation and get the Liang family out of the deadlock. And what the Song Dynasty wants to do is to help the Liang family rebel?" Fan Zheng said confidently.

Zhao Xu was moved in his heart: "Fan Taicheng means that Liang Yibu can achieve great things?"

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "No! Liang Yibu will definitely be defeated!"

"Why is this?" Zhao Xu asked puzzled.

"On the one hand, although the Liang family is powerful, they are Han people after all. They founded the country with the Dangxiang clan in Xixia. The foundation of the Liang family is unstable. The other is also human nature. After all, the Empress Dowager Liang is the mother of the young emperor of Xixia. When the young emperor Li Qianshun is in power, she will be in power. The power of Tingzheng is in control. After the Liang family succeeded Xia, the Empress Dowager Liang became Princess Liang. Her only son Li Qianshun will die unclearly. What choice will the Empress Dowager Liang make?" Fan Zheng asked solemnly.

Zhao Xu's eyes lit up and he said: "The Empress Dowager Liang will stand on the opposite side of Liang Yibu, and the civil strife in Xixia is inevitable."

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "If the Song Dynasty seizes the opportunity, secretly contacts Liang Yibu and helps him rebel, regardless of success or failure, the Song Dynasty will benefit a lot. The greater the turmoil caused by Liang Yibu, the more benefits the Song Dynasty will gain. Fan does not believe that the Song Dynasty will benefit a lot." Song Dynasty has no secret agents in Xixia and cannot contact Liang Yibu."

Zhao Xu thought for a moment, then turned to look at the ministers and said, "My dear friends, what do you think of this plan?"

Lu Dafang smiled bitterly and said: "Human nature is like this! It's hard to tolerate Liang Yibu's disobedience."

"Listening to politics behind the curtain is indeed the way to subjugate a country." Zhang Dun snorted coldly, pointed at Sang and cursed Huai.

All the old parties couldn't help but remain silent. Empress Dowager Liang had previously held on to power. Isn't it human nature?

"In this case, the matter of contacting Liang Yibu will be left to Lu Xianggong." Zhao Xu said deliberately.

Many people in the old party hoped that Empress Dowager Gao would continue to listen to politics behind the curtain, but he arranged for the old party to use the shortcomings of Xixia's listening to politics behind the curtain to attack Xixia. It can be said that he used the son's spear to attack the son's shield.

"Yes! I obey the order!"

Lu Dafang lowered his head and accepted the order.

But the lowered face showed a hint of helplessness. Originally, after the fall of Jinmingzhai, many members of the old party were secretly preparing to welcome Empress Dowager Gao back, but now that the plan to pacify Xia City and contact Liang Yibu came out, Zhao Xu once again took a firm position. The greatest contributor to the throne is still the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

There is only one chapter today. I have been in a bad state these past few days. Please adjust it.
