I have a chat group.

It was hot at the end of March.

[Gao Qiu: It’s already hot here in late March, even hotter than your place in May or June!]

Although Gao Qiu was still wearing a lanshan, he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt underneath, that is, he was wearing a lanshan on the outside. Otherwise, this strange outfit would have made him famous.

[Gao Yuliang: There is no way. You are now in the warm season. In the northeastern region of the north, you can reclaim millions of acres of land for planting. This directly turned the Liao and Jin dynasties into agricultural nations. In fact, you have never fought against nomadic peoples. The ones you have fought against are always agricultural civilizations, and they are agricultural civilizations that are no less advanced than you in the iron smelting industry. At most, they have maintained some hunting customs. In essence, they are already agricultural civilizations.]

[Gao Qiu: I see. This means that the same is true for Xixia. Does that mean that our opponents have always been civilizations of the same level?]

[Gao Yuliang: No, your opponent is an agricultural civilization, and an agricultural civilization with more advanced technology than yours. Their metal smelting technology has surpassed yours. The only thing you are better than them is that you have more grain production and a larger population. Apart from that, your ship technology is better than theirs because you can trade silk through the sea, but you simply use these technologies for ocean trade. In terms of military, you are still far behind.]

[Gao Qiu: No, our weapons and equipment are much stronger than those of the Khitan. Our Shenbi bow and Ba Niu crossbow are stronger than those of the Liao Kingdom. Not only that, our Song Dynasty's Iron Cavalry Jingsai Army is the best in the world. Neither the Iron Forest Army nor the Iron Harriers can be a match for our Jingsai Army!]

Gao Qiu was the Grand Marshal of the Song Dynasty, the top military figure of the Song Dynasty. Although he was born a street rogue and later served as Su Shi's secretary, he had never been a military man. However, after he became the Grand Marshal, he needed to know these things.

What can we say about Song Huizong? He had no talent to be an emperor, but wanted to be a wise ruler, wanted to be more powerful than his subjects, and wanted to be the number one monarch of the Song Dynasty. He thought he was unparalleled in talent, and was the best in poetry, songs, calligraphy, chess, and painting at the time. Naturally, when he became emperor, he had to be the best too.

Therefore, after becoming the emperor, Song Huizong wanted to become a stronger ruler than anyone else in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, he paid great attention to the construction of the army.

It can even be said that if there had been no Jingkang Incident, Song Huizong would have been a great military hero and would have once seemed to dominate East Asia.

During the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song, many military achievements were made.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, a powerful tribe formed in the southwest of the Northern Song Dynasty, probably in Guizhou and Guangxi. The Song Dynasty called it "Anhua Man". The Anhua Man often sent troops to harass the Northern Song Dynasty. During the reign of Song Huizong, a severe crackdown was carried out on the Anhua Man. In order to ensure the stability of the southwest, Song Huizong also made friends with the Dali Kingdom, appointed the King of Dali, and jointly suppressed the Anhua Man, achieving good results.

In Shandong, Song Huizong suppressed the Song Jiang uprising, and in Jiangnan, Song Huizong suppressed the Fang La uprising, which made the surrounding small countries admire him very much. For example, Goryeo sent students to study in the Song Dynasty many times. "Goryeo sent its children to study." "The emperor selected Goryeo Jinshi in the Jiying Hall." There are many such records.

In the northwest of the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong continued Song Zhezong's strategy of attacking Western Xia. He detoured from the southwest of Western Xia, attacked the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, subdued the "Yellow-headed Uighurs" in today's QH Province, set up the Longyou Protectorate, and then bypassed the western part of Western Xia to form a semi-encirclement of Western Xia.

When this strategy was about to be completed, an envoy from the Jin Kingdom in the northeast came and stated that the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom were sworn enemies and hoped to unite with the Song Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty. At that time, they would return the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to the Song Dynasty.

This temptation was too great for the Song Dynasty, so Song Huizong chose to cooperate with the Jin Kingdom and sent his exhausted army, which had been fighting for a long time, northward. Although he finally succeeded in destroying the Liao Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom saw that the Northern Song Dynasty was warmongering and at the end of its strength, so they tore up the contract, launched a large-scale attack on the Northern Song Dynasty, and eventually led to the Jingkang Incident.

All these can show what kind of king Song Huizong was. He was an emperor who wanted to achieve great fame.

As his trusted and favored minister, Gao Qiu naturally had to understand military affairs, and he was also the main supporter of foreign wars.

These are the favorites. They will do whatever the emperor likes and try their best to satisfy the emperor. If the emperor likes to fight wars, they will be the most hardline advocates of war.

If the emperor wanted peace, they would not hesitate to destroy the Great Wall and become the biggest peace advocates.

In short, everything they do is to serve the emperor.

High balls are no exception.

Therefore, he was very clear about the military of the Song Dynasty. He knew all about the Jingsai Army, the Eight Ox Crossbow, and the Shenbi Bow.

[Gao Yuliang: Do you know what the use of these is? Your Jingsai Army is gone. The Song Dynasty's horse policy was neglected and there were no war horses. The Jingsai Army also no longer existed. In other words, your world is a film and television fiction world. There are still war horses, but there are definitely no heavy cavalry war horses. So the Jingsai Army has long been gone. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been beaten like that by the Iron Pagoda. The Iron Pagoda is actually the Jin Dynasty version of the Iron Forest Army. Their equipment is the equipment of the Iron Forest Army. If you really had the Jingsai Army, you wouldn't have been blown up! ]

【Liu Chan (Zhao Gou): Indeed, if you were really capable, you would not have been defeated by the Iron Pagoda. You are just sitting ducks. As long as you use enough Eight-Ox Crossbows, the infantry can wipe them out. When I fought them before, I used infantry with crossbow carts and shot their horses' legs with shovel arrows to kill them. The heavy cavalry without horses are just sitting ducks!】

When Liu Chan started the war, he was not a brave and invincible general. On the contrary, he was a man who built a strong camp and fought cautiously. He took every step steadily, never acted rashly, always fought prepared battles, and never put himself in a disadvantageous position.

The greatest danger he faced was the attack of the Iron Pagoda. He used 300 eight-ox crossbows with shovel arrows to shoot off the legs of all the war horses, and then used catapults to throw golden juice and boiling oil to destroy the Iron Pagoda.

He himself was so nauseated by the stench that he vomited for three days.

The taste of heated golden juice is known to everyone who has used it.

[Gao Qiu: I don't need this. My main enemies are Wang Qing and Tian Hu. These two thieves are the ones I need to deal with. These two thieves are not here to be recruited, so they must be eliminated.]

Killing people, setting fires, and accepting amnesty are the ways for low-level military men to become officials. Gao Qiu also accepted the surrender of ten military governors for this reason. These people all wanted to become officials, so they were easy to deal with. However, Tian Hu and Wang Qing were different. The four major bandits were all different.

In other words, Song Jiang is still the bailiff of Yuncheng, and Fang La is still a wealthy man in Qingxi.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the four major bandits caused trouble together.

[Gao Wenfeng: Let’s not think about these things anymore. Let’s think about how to get the Taiping Essential Technique and Luo Zhenren’s magic. These are what we need.]

[Gao Qiu: This is a troublesome matter. We have to wait for a while. My cousin Gao Lian has a copy of the Taiping Essential Technique, but the other things are in the hands of other Taoists. Zhang Tianshi has one copy, and Luo Zhenren, the immortal in the world, also has at least one copy. I don't know who has the rest.]

Gao Qiu has not been idle during this period. He has been constantly collecting Taoist classics and has a lot of good stuff in his hands, but there are not many things that are really useful.

[Gao Wenfeng: Master Luo? The master of Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng is a real immortal. You are probably no match for him, because those Taoists all turned to the Jin Kingdom in the future.]

[Gao Yuliang: You are talking about Quanzhen Sect, right? That is correct. The Quanzhen Sect members first surrendered to the Jin Dynasty and later surrendered to Mongolia. In short, they have played the role of "a gentleman should not care about people under dangerous walls". I don't like that Taoist sect. From the beginning, it has a strong Confucian foundation and only knows how to play along with the rulers.]

[Gao Wenfeng: There is no way around it. Quanzhen Sect is a sect that practices Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism together, so this problem will arise. Either you learn everything well, or you learn everything bad. But if you don’t practice enough, then everything you learn will be bad.]

Gao Qiu just smiled when he saw these things. He now needed to sever ties with his adopted son Gao Kan, or at least let everyone know that he no longer liked Gao Kan.

[Lin Daiyu: Ladies and gentlemen, today we are having a competition at the Beijing Camp. I am going to uproot a weeping willow tree, and it must be a complete one!]

Lin Daiyu said excitedly in the group.

Gao Qiu simply spat out the wine in his mouth.

He had just seen Lu Zhishen uprooting a weeping willow some time ago, and now Daiyu said she wanted to uproot a weeping willow too. This was really scary.

[Gao Wenfeng: Stop joking. Your world is a world of romance. There is no need to uproot weeping willows.]

【Lin Daiyu: I don’t want to meet that Jia Baoyu. You all saw how much I hate Jia Baoyu. When I met him, I slapped him and sent him flying. I have never met such a bastard. What is my status with him? After meeting him once, he actually dared to give me a name. He really doesn’t know how to live or die!】

Although Lin Daiyu has read Dream of the Red Chamber, she would get furious whenever she thought of the first time she met Jia Baoyu, who said, "I seem to have seen this sister before," and then asked her if she had any name.

Originally, Lin Daiyu thought that she had arrived at the Rongguo Mansion early, and after meeting her uncle and grandmother, she should no longer have any relationship with Jia Baoyu. But she still ran into him, and when she met him, the other party wanted to give her a name, so Lin Daiyu couldn't help it and slapped Jia Baoyu away.

[Gao Wenfeng, yes, I saw that side of him, but Jia Baoyu's body was strong enough that he was not killed by your slap. This shouldn't be the case. I thought you held back. Now it seems that it's not a question of whether you held back or not, but that there is something wrong with Jia Baoyu's body!]

[Dr. Oak: Yes, that guy's body is very strong, and it feels stronger than Satoshi's. Satoshi's physical fitness can be compared with the three perfect starters, but Jia Baoyu's physical fitness is no worse than hers. This is really scary.]

[Gao Wenfeng: Professor Oak, what new Pokémon have you created recently? I heard that you are using fusion technology to fuse Pokémon? ]

In fact, this is not just hearsay, but an operation directly observed from the background. As a group owner, he has certain privileges and can view the operations of others.

[Professor Oak: Fortunately, I did create some brand new Pokémon, and their abilities are all quite powerful. By the way, who among you has a brand new Lady Flower Cleanser? I have combined some brand new abilities into Lady Flower Cleanser. Who among you wants a brand new Lady Flower Cleanser? ]

Professor Oak then posted a few pictures in which he fused some other types of Pokémon with Lady Flower.

Among them is a metal Lady Flower, and the result of the fusion of Lady Flower and Pokémon is also shown below. This pure metal Lady Flower is a combination of Lady Flower and Metagross, and has four attributes: Psychic, Fairy, Steel, and Grass. After combining these abilities, Lady Flower has fewer weaknesses, and at the same time, all of Lady Flower's attributes have been greatly improved, with the biggest improvements being vitality and physical defense.

Previously, Lady Huajie's racial stat was just over 500, but now after a significant increase in physical defense and life, Lady Steel Huajie's racial stat has exceeded 650 points. This racial stat is only the minimum standard for all Pokémon, so Lady Huajie has directly become the strongest under the Legendary Beasts, and even to some extent is comparable to the Legendary Beasts.

In addition, there is Madam Huajie who combines the attributes of fire and flying, and Madam Huajie who combines the attributes of ground. In short, Professor Oak has created many kinds of Madam Huajie.

[Gao Wenfeng: Dr. Oak, you are really good at playing. You created so many Mrs. Hua Jie. What do you want to do? ]

[Professor Oak, of course it's for some future operations. Don't you think Madam Flower Clean is very useful? If Madam Flower Clean has enough attributes, we can use Madam Flower Clean to transform the entire world, just like you used Madam Flower Clean to create a piece of medicinal material production area. I also plan to use Madam Flower Clean to make large-scale Pokémon fruit trees.]

[Professor Oak: There is one more thing I need to say, that is, the next evolution of Pokémon has become normalized. Charizard's XY evolution can already evolve, and all the super Pokémon have also appeared. My Bulbasaur has evolved into a super Bulbasaur, and there is no degeneration! ] (End of this chapter)
