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

"White sugar! Sky-shattering thunder!"

In the weapons prison, after a long time, Zhao Xu was still shocked by the power of the new gunpowder formula.

The three prime ministers also looked strange,

Sugar!

White sugar was a common thing in the Song Dynasty. It was a whim for doctors to add white sugar to traditional Chinese medicine. However, who would have thought that white sugar could also be added to gunpowder.

"I have heard for a long time that Fan Taicheng is good at using evil methods. Today I have an eye-opener." Zhang Dun couldn't help but admire him.

Fan Zheng chuckled and said: "The specialty of doctors is the study of medicines. Gunpowder is also a medicine, so it is naturally among the research of doctors."

The three prime ministers were immediately speechless, especially Su Song, who was also proficient in medical skills. Apart from setting off a few firecrackers during the New Year, he had never thought of developing gunpowder.

Zhao Xu laughed loudly and said: "As soon as gunpowder came out, the stubborn diseases of the Song Dynasty were solved immediately. It seems that gunpowder is the medicine to heal the country."

"Medicine to heal the country!"

Lu Dafang nodded silently. As soon as the gunpowder came out, the weak military force of the Song Dynasty was directly reversed. What is it if it is not a medicine to heal the country!

"Your Majesty, do you think Fan can win the first prize in this martial arts competition?" Suddenly Fan Zhengyu said in surprise.

"Participate in martial arts! Could it be that Fan Taicheng is also proficient in martial arts!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but be stunned and glanced at Fan Zheng suspiciously. He and Fan Zheng often worked out together. Although he knew that Fan Zheng was physically stronger than him, compared with the strong men in the army, he might not be able to match him.

Lu Dafang sneered: "The sword has no eyes in the arena, Fan Taicheng must not show off!"

Fan Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Can Fan win the first prize with this!"

Say it! Fan Zheng took out several thunderbolts with wooden handles and hung them on himself.

Lu Dafang was silent for a moment. They had just witnessed the power of the Sky Thunder. Its power was as high as fifteen steps, and the arena was only ten steps in radius. It was within the explosion range of the Thunder. I'm afraid no one could be one of them. enemy.

Of course, they also knew that it was impossible for Fan Zheng to actually fight in the ring, and the court would not allow Fan Zheng to carry the Sky Thunder to the battlefield.

"Once the sky-shattering thunder comes out, flesh and blood will be unable to compete with firearms, and the era of individual bravery of soldiers will decline." Su Song said with a gleam in his eyes.

"With the great development of martial arts and the integration of civil and military exercises, it may be a feasible way." Zhang Dun said excitedly.

Prior to this, although the Song Dynasty had martial arts examinations, they were marginalized in the Song Dynasty and rarely shined in the army. Therefore, most of the generals in the army were killed with swords and guns in the border army. Warrior.

This also made most of the frontier warriors unruly and illiterate. Fan Zheng proposed the integration of civil and military forces to solve the shortcomings of using civilized and military forces to control military affairs. Although the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government agreed to hold martial arts competitions and large-scale martial arts studies, they had deep feelings in their hearts. doubt.

Now that the three prime ministers had witnessed the power of the new thunderbolt with their own eyes, they could not help but feel confident. Even if Lu Bu was alive, he might not be able to escape the terrifying thunderbolt.

"The Great Song Dynasty has this artifact. This martial arts competition must require both civil and military skills. Military general promotion must require martial arts training in Kaifeng." Zhao Xu said solemnly.

Zhao Xu finally nodded. With the appearance of Hong Tianlei, personal force is no longer the first choice for generals. The time is ripe for generals to be both civil and military.

The three prime ministers nodded solemnly.

For a long time, officers who came from the martial arts examination were only from "miscellaneous" backgrounds, and their promotions were not as smooth as those who came from the "official" army. Now the emergence of thunder and gunpowder weapons will inevitably lead to the rise of martial arts examinations. In the future, martial arts and martial arts examinations may It will be the most important path for a military commander in this life.

........................

Everyone returned to Chui Gong Hall.

"Pass an edict to recruit 30,000 soldiers to be used by doctors and set up sugar cane farms in the south of the Yangtze River." Zhao Xu immediately issued an imperial edict.

"The officials are wise!"

The three prime ministers stamped their seals without hesitation and approved the decree.

When the imperial edict reached the Privy Council, Zeng Bu couldn't help but open his eyes wide and looked at the edict in his hand in disbelief.

"Master Zeng, these are thirty thousand soldiers!" A Privy Council official frowned.

The waste of money and food by the soldiers is a matter of concern to the Ministry of Revenue. As the Privy Council, they only care about the stability of the army and the security of the country. The sudden loss of 60,000 soldiers is still a big disturbance for the Privy Council.

"Since it is the official's order, the Privy Council will obey it! Send an order to the armies to select the old and weak soldiers and hand them over to the doctors to set up a sugar cane farm." Zeng Bu said solemnly.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" the Privy Council official said.

Zeng Bu thought for a while, but finally couldn't bear it anymore and went to Zhang Dun to ask the reason.

"Zeng wanted to know what evil method Fan Zheng used in the weapons prison, and even Zhang Xianggong agreed to set up a sugar cane farm." Zeng Bu got straight to the point.

Zhang Dun couldn't help but hear the deafening roar in the firearms prison, as well as the lessons learned by Zeng Gongliang and Shen Kuo. He shook his head and said: "You only need to know that this matter was unanimously agreed by the officials and the three prime ministers, and its importance is more than three Wanxiang soldiers are forming a construction corps in the Hehuang Valley. The most important thing for you right now is to conduct military exercises well. This is the top priority of the government."

Zeng Bu was suddenly shocked. After staring at Zhang Dun for a long time, he finally nodded slowly.

As the Privy Council passed the doctor's sugarcane farm, the entire court was in an uproar. A senior official asked the three prime ministers and received the same reply.

There were even more officials who were unwilling to give up and wrote a letter to impeach Fan Zheng for his behavior of pretending to serve public interests for personal gain. However, all of them fell into disgrace and were even refuted.

"The officials have too much faith in Fan Zheng!" Many officials said in frustration.

All the officials in the court were talking about it, but their attention was quickly attracted by the upcoming martial arts competition.

"This martial arts competition requires generals to be both civil and military! And the winner must join the military."

The news that the imperial court was holding the Enke Military Examination had long been published in the Di newspaper. The martial arts examination could directly lead to official status, which naturally attracted countless martial arts practitioners.

However, when they learned that the standards for the martial arts examination had been changed this year, they had to be both civil and military and pass the literary examination before they could participate in the subsequent martial arts examination.

"We, the martial arts practitioners, only need to go into battle and kill the enemy, so we don't need to study literature!" A martial arts student with an unruly face said angrily.

"No! Although we are martial arts practitioners, we are destined to be generals in the future, not big soldiers who go into battle. How can we lead troops in war if we don't understand the art of war!" Some martial arts practitioners said happily.

The martial arts examination will examine the art of war, which is no stranger to martial arts students. However, in the past, the art of war only accounted for one of the martial arts examinations. In addition, there were also long stack, horse archery, carbine, and rifle piercing.

Many martial arts students think that they are powerful and think that they can win with force! They didn't like the art of war at all, and some of them couldn't even read a few Chinese characters. The imperial court suddenly paid attention to the art of war, and they were rejected outright.

Of course, there are also martial arts students with weaker martial arts who are overjoyed with the changes in the imperial court. As long as the Wen Examination brings down a group of illiterate martial students, there will naturally be more opportunities for them.

As for Fan Zheng! Naturally, the court did not agree, and Fan Zheng took Hongtian Lei to compete for the martial arts examination.

However, he still appeared in the martial arts examination room, of course not to compete, but as a doctor to treat those injured in the martial arts examination.
