I am Da Song

Chapter 152
The military carts pushed by the craftsmen are box cars, and some people call them god locomotives.

The names may be different, but the structure is clear at a glance.It was a square wooden frame fixed on a trolley, with a hundred hollow round wooden barrels inside, and hundreds of rockets were neatly inserted in the wooden barrels.

Its shape resembles a flat firework, and of course it is more like a rocket launcher.

The lead wires of hundreds of rockets are bundled together, and as long as they are ignited, hundreds of rockets can be launched like a rocket launcher.

There is no need to think too much about his accuracy. In this era when two armies are fighting against each other, how can a huge phalanx make him hit and kill a large area.If you are lucky, a hundred rockets will just cover a phalanx, which can directly destroy the morale of the phalanx.

Zhao Huan had lit fireworks, but he had never lit a rocket launcher, so despite the objections of many ministers, he excitedly stood beside the van and wanted to light the fuze himself.

The fuze was more than one foot long, and Zhao Huan felt that the ministers were worrying unfoundedly. He lit the fuse, and he was able to retreat to a safe distance in a leisurely manner.

After the reorganization of the arms institute, the quality of the military industry has indeed been greatly improved.The one-foot-long fuse burns at an even speed, slowly advancing.The bright fire that has been shining all the time has witnessed the reliability and stability of the Song Dynasty military industry.

When the fuse ignited the rocket, there was a screaming sound, and the fire arrows shot out, like a rain of bright stars across the sky.

It was really very similar to the continuous star rain, Zhao Huan felt that the rocket glides in the air for a long time before landing.The densely packed arrows were inserted into the target, and the whistling sound was silent for a moment, and then the densely packed cracking sound came from a distance.

This shows that the arrow's flight distance has exceeded 300 meters, and the sound has to travel through the air for more than one second to arrive.

What excites Li Yanxian is not only the range, but more importantly, the power.Visible to the naked eye, debris flew across the target, and the nails were scattered.

The gunpowder that exploded at close range produced an extremely impressive power.

Because of the quality of gunpowder in Song Dynasty, the power of the box car far surpassed that of Ming Dynasty.

The next moment Li Yanxian looked at Zhao Huan excitedly, and asked: "Officials, can this kind of soldiers and chariots be taken away?"

Zhao Huan waved his hands with a smile, and said, "All the military equipment will be taken away. I have given the Shenwu Zuo Army so many advanced weapons, and there is only one request. Quickly pacify Shaanxi. I don't hope that next year, Shaanxi will remain It was a scene of chaos."

Li Yanxian saluted solemnly, and said: "If I can't quickly pacify the chaos, I would like to die to thank the country for my kindness."

"Then I won't delay you, you can stay here to hand over the supplies to the Military Weapons Office. I'm going to see an old friend."

All the bureaucrats in the Imperial Weapons Institute were amazed. There are still old officials here?Which minister is it?Why never heard of it.

On the contrary, Wang Zongmian, who brought the imperial equipment, immediately understood what the officials were referring to, and immediately ordered the servants, the pro-army and the imperial city secretary's pro-obedience officers to be on guard, and cut off the sight of all the officials.

Wang Zongmian also had a headache. The emperor of the Song Dynasty was really in the same line. He had two hobbies, one was fond of reform, and the other was fond of visiting brothels.

But Wang Zongmian obviously thought too much. Zhao Huangang stabilized the situation and established the image of a wise gentleman. At this critical time, it is absolutely impossible to enter the brothel in person, causing controversy all over the world.

So Zhao Huan could only meet that old friend by the river again, that uneasy Liu Shishi.

This way of meeting, overtly and secretly, there is a feeling of contempt for prostitution and fear of being tarnished.But Liu Shishi still followed the Imperial City Siqin to the riverside with a bright smile, without a trace of sadness on her face.

When we met again, Zhao Huan was no longer the last king who might die at any time, and Liu Shishi was no longer shriveled like before.

Seeing Zhao Huan, Liu Shishi immediately bowed to him and said: "My concubine pays homage to the official's family, I wish you all blessings."

Zhao Huan waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be too polite. I just want to see how you are doing."

Liu Shishi didn't have any unrealistic fantasies just because the official family came to visit, and replied humbly: "The official family guards Tokyo, so concubines and others can survive the suffering of being displaced. Now that Tokyo is recovering, the museum The pavilion is full of guests, and the concubine has no worries about food and clothing."

It should be a happy thing to have no worries about food and clothing.But Zhao Huan frowned slightly, and asked, "There are so many guests? Now that Tokyo is dilapidated, and the people are tired day and night, rebuilding their homes, are you still in the mood to drink in a brothel?"

A sneering smile appeared on the corner of Liu Shishi's mouth, and she said: "Not only now, even in the most difficult period of the siege, the presence of scholars and wealthy merchants in the pavilions has never stopped."

Hearing this, Zhao Huan's expression was gloomy, and his fists in his sleeves were tightly clenched.

I didn't expect that I would also experience the scene of "the business woman doesn't know the hatred of subjugation, but she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river".

But for thousands of years, the literati and bureaucrats have contemptuously despised the women of the world, but they have never said a word. Who are these women of the world who are so tragic that they are singing songs to listen to when the country is ruined and their families are destroyed?
Is it those poor people? Or those refugees whose country was ruined?It's not all those scholar-bureaucrats who are rich, unkind, corrupt and depraved!
A meeting with an old friend made Zhao Huan full of gloom, knowing that he was not yet qualified to sit back and relax and enjoy ease.

I have only initially pulled Da Song out of the desperate situation that is about to fall into the abyss. If I want to completely change the shortcomings of Da Song and realize the grand goal of a prosperous country and a strong army, there is still a long way to go.

Zhao Huan intends to negotiate with the prime minister as quickly as possible, formally appoint a planner, and start sorting out the sick tax system of the Song Dynasty.

In particular, the tolerance and privileges for scholar-bureaucrats must be carefully settled this time.

They occupied more than half of the country's wealth, but they became one of the four evils of the Song Dynasty.Germany is not worthy, it is time to return the interests they have usurped to the country.

But before talking about planning, there is no way to avoid Hedong anyway.

The Song Dynasty implemented salt and iron official camps, and the production of salt in the east of the river was almost related to the internal affairs, taxes, and diplomacy of the Song Dynasty.The war between the Song Dynasty and Xixia can be regarded as a continuation of the salt industry war between the two countries.It perfectly interprets what war must serve politics.

At this time, when the imperial court was planning to reorganize the financial system based on Hedong, a large-scale battle on Hedong Road was slowly unfolding.

This battle can even be regarded as the most magnificent battle of the Song Army since Zhao Huan traveled through.

Han Shizhong's Jingsai Army has more than [-] cavalry, with bright uniforms, banners and banners, galloping on horses, rolling up dust and sand on the vast east of the river.

There are more than [-] cavalry, the formation is broad and boundless, and the iron cavalry gallops like an unstoppable wave.

Anyone who saw this turbulent and magnificent scene in the wild would probably feel their legs go weak with fright.

And their opponents were also covered in mountains and plains. The dense crowd was black and boundless, covering dozens of miles of land.
