The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1514 Goudan takes office
Batumi waved his hand to the back and said, "Bring up twenty grenadiers."

There are soldiers behind him to convey his orders.

Soon there was a grenadier hand carrying a grenadier in the army.

Batumi pointed to several places at the top of the city and said, "Aim the grenade at those places and wait for orders!"

"Yes!"

The grenadiers took the order and hurriedly ran to the side.

Seeing this scene, the county magistrate Zhuyang at the head of the city became even more anxious.If the reinforcements don't come, the Song army will attack the city.

He was also hesitant at this moment, knowing that he couldn't stop it, so he didn't have the idea of ​​surrender in his heart.As for why he wants to surrender, only he himself knows clearly.

Perhaps it was pity for life, or it might be that it was not worth it to die for the Yuan Dynasty.

And at this moment, those messengers from Zi Gaoyi finally galloped down to the city.

Immediately under the city, after getting off his horse, the leader of the messenger shouted: "Where is the magistrate of Zhuyang County! Where is the magistrate of Zhuyang County!"

The shouts are spreading under the city gate.

All the soldiers looked at him.

There were also people at the top of the city looking at him.

Then someone reported this to Zhu Yang county magistrate, "Magistrate, someone is looking for you in the city."

The county magistrate Zhu Yang frowned slightly and said, "Didn't you see that the Song army had already arrived at the city? Who came to look for me at this time?"

As soon as the voice finished speaking, a faint voice was heard from under the city, "We are the messenger of Lord Zhizhou, and we are here to find Lord Zhuyang County Magistrate! We have something important to report!"

The county magistrate Zhu Yang didn't hear it very clearly, and walked towards the inner side of the city wall.Looking down, I saw the messengers.

He shouted: "I am the magistrate of Zhuyang County, why do you need people?"

The leader of the messenger raised his head and said: "We are the messenger of Master Zhizhou!"

As he spoke, he took out his pocket card.

Zhuyang county magistrate is presbyopic, and he doesn't have glasses these days, so he can't see clearly at all.

But probably no one can forge tokens to falsely transmit orders.

He thought for a while, and shouted to the soldiers below: "Let them come up!"

Several messengers rushed to the top of the city.

As soon as he arrived in front of the county magistrate of Zhuyang, the chief messenger waved his badge in front of him again, saying: "Lord county magistrate, I'm here to convey the order of the magistrate Zhizhou. The magistrate of Zhizhou asked you to surrender the city to the Song army. "

In fact, they wanted to go directly to Batumi, but now that the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty had already crushed the city, they knew it was too late.

Hearing this, Zhu Yang county magistrate was startled, "Master Zhizhou asked me to surrender?"

The leader of the messenger didn't care too much at this time, and said bluntly: "Master Zhizhou is ready to surrender the whole state."

Zhuyang County Magistrate's expression changed slightly, but his heart suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Then he yelled to the people below: "Open the city gate! Surrender!"

The Yuan army at the top of the city was afraid that they could not wait for this, so they hurriedly ran towards the corridor.

outside the city.

The grenadiers were already in place, and a soldier ran up to Batumi and said, "President, the grenadiers are ready, please show me."

Batumi nodded slightly, then slowly raised his hand.

As long as his hand falls, the city of Zhuyang County will face bombardment.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, the defenders in the tunnel finally opened the city gate.

Seeing this scene from a distance, Batumi was slightly stunned, realizing that things had changed, and said, "Wait!"

A messenger hurriedly passed on his order, shouting: "The grenadier stands by! Stand by!"

Batum put down his hand and stared at the city gate.

The county magistrate Zhu Yang hurried out from the city gate with a few civil servants and generals, as well as those exhausted messengers.

When they were less than [-] units away from the Tiangui Army's formation, the soldiers in the front row of the Tiangui Army raised their Shenlong guns in unison, and their footsteps stopped suddenly.

"Put down the gun!"

Batumi pressed his hand against it.

All the soldiers put down the Shenlong gun again.

Only then did Zhu Yang County Magistrate and others dare to move forward.

Finally, stop about ten meters from Batumi.

The county magistrate of Zhuyang led the crowd to kneel on the ground, and said: "We are willing to surrender the city, and I ask the general to spare the officials and people in the city."

Ba Tuom nodded slightly, and said, "Don't worry, our Song soldiers never hurt the common people."

He is also happy in his heart.

The county magistrate took the officials out to vote for the Song Dynasty, which could save him a lot of trouble.Although Zhu Yang's defenders would definitely not be able to defend Zhu Yang County, but in a fight, the Tiangui Army would inevitably suffer losses.

Surrender is the perfect outcome.

And Zi Gaoyi's courier also said at this time: "General! I am here on the order of the magistrate of Guozhou, and the magistrate is willing to surrender the state! Please hold your hand high."

Batumi laughed loudly, "Lift, lift!"

He originally thought that it would take some effort to win Guozhou.I never thought that victory would come so easily, it was a surprise.

I just wonder if he knew that it was all because Zi Gaoyi was stimulated by Luba, would he offer Luba's longevity tablet at home.

Later, when Batong led the Tiangui army into the city, more than a thousand defenders in the city had already withdrawn from the top of the city to the bottom of the city.

Weapons and armor were thrown all over the place.

The soldiers of the Tiangui Army quickly collected these weapons and armors.

A group of officials and defenders were also escorted into the city.

Although they surrendered, they still had to be imprisoned until orders were issued from above.

Zi Gaoyi's messengers hurriedly bid farewell to Batumi, and then rushed to Guolue City.

But on the next day, Batumi still led the way to Guolue City.

Even if Zi Gaoyi surrendered, he would have to take over the city defense.

Changsha.

Two things happened today.

First, Zhang Tingen finally persuaded his grandfather Zhang Shijie to go to northern Xinjiang and embark on his road to the battlefield.

Zhao Dongting did not arrange a specific military position for him, but only gave him an oral order to let Yue Peng arrange it as appropriate.

Retired Zhang Shijie took his family to personally deliver Zhang Tingen to the gate of the city.

Although he has other grandchildren, it doesn't mean that Zhang Tingen doesn't hold much weight in his heart.

What he hopes most is of course that after Zhang Tingen has accumulated enough qualifications in the imperial study, he will be assigned by the emperor to a place or a certain ministry.

However, it was Zhang Tingen himself who proposed to go to northern Xinjiang, and he also showed enough determination. He was also infected by it and no longer blocked it.

When Zhang Tingen told him about this in front of him, he seemed to think of himself more than ten years ago.

At that time, when he was running around with the court, when was he not mentally prepared to die for the country?
At the gate of the city, everyone bid farewell.Zhang Tingen's mother cried like a tearful person.

Zhang Tingen rode away from the dust and went straight to northern Xinjiang.

The second is that Li Zhaoen was called to the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Ministry of State to serve as a minister.

In just a few days, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Imperial Palace has already vacated the Yamen for the Ministry of Science and Technology.

In addition to Li Zhaoen, the Minister of Science and Technology, the accompanying students of his Cangshu Pavilion were also recruited to serve in the Science and Technology Ministry.

In addition, Zhao Dongting also ordered the central cabinet to recruit skilled craftsmen from all over the world to work in the Ministry of Science and Technology.

In the Song Dynasty, there were two yamen responsible for inventions, the Ministry of Military Science and the Ministry of Science and Technology.The Ministry of Military Industry focuses on ordnance, while the Ministry of Science and Technology focuses on civilian use.

Li Zhao'en was wearing Shangshu clothes, and after entering the palace, he first went to the imperial study to meet Zhao Dongting.

Not to mention, although he is young, he has an air of temperament. Wearing the official uniform of the minister, he looks quite good.

Zhao Dongting looked at him carefully after he entered the imperial study, and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad."

Li Goudan scratched his head, chuckled, and broke his skills in an instant.

Zhao Dongting smiled, picked up a stack of papers from his desk and handed them to Li Goudan, saying: "Take these blueprints for research and study, and try to make real objects earlier. Let the people all over the world see the papers of your Ministry of Science and Technology. ability."

Li Goudan's eyes were fixed on those blueprints for an instant, and he glanced at them one by one with surprise on his face.

These blueprints of Zhao Dongting did not draw anything too complicated, but they are all very useful for daily life.

For example, foot-operated sewing machines, cotton spinning machines, hand-operated electric fans, bicycles, etc. are all small items, but they can bring a lot of convenience.

These things may seem simple, but in this era, they are undoubtedly extremely practical inventions.

After reading it, Li Goudan said with joy on his face: "I will definitely make it in the shortest possible time."

"Ok!"

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, "This is just the beginning. In the future, I will hand over the inventions that are beneficial to the people's livelihood to your Ministry of Science and Technology. You have lived a hard life, and you should know what the people need most. Step by step, I will not I ask you to have some earth-shattering inventions now, but I hope that you can see the inventions of your Ministry of Science and Technology spread among the people, bringing real convenience and benefits to the people."

There is not much he can do to help Li Goudan.

Although he also wanted to invent steam engines, batteries, and light bulbs, he was not omnipotent.These, he cannot copy.

Industrial reform requires the precipitation of time and the progress of the whole society, and it cannot be brought about by a single person.
