Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 200 Changes in Liaodong
Now that Li Buqi has more duties, he is naturally busy. Every morning, he first goes to the Military Weapons Supervision Department to handle affairs, and then goes to the Police Department. After a busy day, when he returns home at night, he will play with the leftover for a while and tell him stories. , Teach him and Niuman to pile up blocks, weave wicker and so on, and then they have to deal with underground work.

Fortunately, Li Buqi was well prepared. Last year, he recommended Lu Kuo, a Jinshi who had recently returned from Sichuan as a county magistrate, to serve as the military supervisor.

This Lu Kuo is also a wonderful person. When he was in Sichuan, he did a lot of research on the local flora and fauna and wrote a lot of notes.When his term was over, he went back to the capital to stand for candidates, and went to Qingyuan Academy to study anecdotes and anecdotes in Sichuan.During the period, he also wrote a letter to Li Buqi, suggesting that the military supervisor can collect mountain vines in Shu to make rattan armor to reduce the weight of soldiers' armor.

Li Buqi is familiar with the fire-burning rattan armor soldiers in "Seven Captures of Meng Huo", so he invited Lu Kuo to inquire, and learned that there are a lot of rattan armors stored in the arsenal of Shu, and they are indeed as invulnerable as iron armor, which is even more rare. What's more, it is much lighter than iron armor.Li Buqi asked people to investigate again, and found that the craft of making rattan armor in Shu was very perfect. As long as there were enough mountain vines for common use, rattan armor could be manufactured on a large scale.

Naturally, Li Buqi couldn't let Lu Kuo, a person like Lu Kuo who had both political experience and interest in science, and was able to take the initiative to approach him, so he was asked to be the military supervisor.Facts have proved that Li Buqi did not miss the mark. Lu Kuo is also a very capable person, and he cooperated well with Cheng Jun. Li Buqi also sent some people from Qingyuan Academy and the original Royal Testing Ground to the Armament Supervision, so Now Li Buqi doesn't need to worry too much about the affairs of the Military Weapons Supervision Department. During this time, he just needs to concentrate on doing a good job in the police department.

However, Zhao Zhen didn't stop during this time, and asked Li Buqi to ask Xixia about it every three days.Moreover, Zhao Zhen also summoned Mao Zhichun, and Jian pulled Mao Zhichun to become an official in the third division, so it could be seen that the emperor wanted to raise military expenses.Li Buqi felt that the emperor seemed to have some thoughts about Xixia after his repeated threats.

In May, Zhao Min was about to give birth. Li Buqi only went to work for half a day every day, and spent the rest of the time at home to take care of the pregnant woman.The midwife was also invited to the house early to watch, and finally on the tenth day of May, Zhao Min gave birth to a big fat boy, and the mother and child were safe.

Li Buqi has a son!The news immediately spread throughout the capital, not only the emperor and empress sent people to send rewards, but also honorable ministers who had been close to each other in the past also sent many gifts.It's just that except Cao Guojiu, Li Yonghe and others, no one showed up in person.

Ever since the remaining son lived in the Li family, the Li family can be described as a poor family.They are all people who know the current affairs, and they are all afraid of sticking to the side of the third prince and winning far away.Even Li Buqi's hardcore like Gao Zunyu disappeared without a trace, which made Li Buqi's ears clean.

But the more this is the case, the more Li Buqi wants to declare his existence.He vowed: "Lady, when our child is full moon, I will make a full moon wine for my husband and show it to everyone!"

------------------

In May, the land of Liaodong is already verdant. On the bank of the Yazi River, which is the later Songhua River, a young man in leopard skin is leading a group of Jurchen men to load the most precious furs and Donghua on the largest Jurchen boats. Beads, ginseng.

This will be a long voyage that the tribe has never experienced before. All the men, women and children of the tribe stand on the shore and pray for the warriors who will go out.

A leader with a silk belt tied around his waist asked a big bearded man: "Ugunai, people in the tribe have never traveled so far and passed through so many tribes. Do you really want the strongest man in the tribe?" Did the Warriors go there? They wouldn't necessarily come back."

The big man named Ugunai said with gloomy eyes: "The caravan said that every year there would be large ships arriving at the mouth of the Huntong River, exchanging a large amount of iron for fur. The caravan had already sold a lot of iron arrows and other iron to the tribes by the river. , will sell them more in the future. Soon, those tribes will use these weapons to rob us of our land and wealth. Don't forget the hatred between us and the Jiagu tribe. Bahei, if ours can't get more ironware, We just got kicked out."

Ba Hei said: "The emperor of the Liao Kingdom will be here again soon. We can present the most precious furs to the Emperor of the Liao Kingdom and ask the Liao Kingdom to sell us ironware."

Wu Gunai gave him a sideways glance: "The emperor of the Liao Kingdom kills the Jurchens every year, and he must be worried that the Jurchens will rebel, so why would he sell the Jurchens iron artifacts. Even if they sell us some iron artifacts, it is for us to fight with other tribes. Fight. When we kill other tribes, the Liao people should kill us."

The man in the leopard skin finally checked the situation of the boats, jumped out of the boat, walked ashore through the water, and reported to Ugunai: "Ugunai, everything is ready, we are leaving."

Ugunai embraced the young man with open arms, and then said: "Hu Shida, you are the strongest hero of our Jurchen, it's up to you now. The caravan that came last year said that big ships will come this time this year There are a lot of iron tools. You go to find out how far you can go, and try to buy some iron tools back. With iron tools, our tribe can defeat the malicious people around and live here. Good brother, the shaman will bless you."

Hu Shida was not good at words, but he hugged Ugunai again and said firmly, "Ugunai, I will definitely bring back the ironware."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and jumped into the water again, waded into the boat, and the Jurchens on the boat pushed the boat away from the shore with a command.The men, women and children on the shore cheered together to see them off, and the shaman also beat the drum.Ba Hei's face was not good-looking: "So many warriors left all at once, what if Shi Xian and Jia Gubu come to attack together?"

Ugunai gave his younger brother a stern look, and walked back to the camp without saying a word.

History has proved that the adventure of Wanyan Wu Gunai was the right choice, and the sailing of these ships was the beginning of the rapid rise of the Jurchen Wanyan tribe.

"Pop", the fire flashed, and then "pop", a thick smoke rushed out of the iron pipe with the fire.

Shi Feng erected the iron pipe and blew the smoke, then asked the person who ran to see the target: "How far did you hit?"

In front of him stood a wooden sign at fifty.The person watching the target ran over and cheered immediately: "It's pierced, it's pierced!"

Shi Feng grinned and said: "Haha, good! If this hits a person, as long as he doesn't wear armor, he will be seriously injured if he doesn't die." Then he looked at Luo Tong and said: "Let's just say it, I will definitely be able to Hit."

Luo Tong pursed his lips and said, "After seven hits, I only hit once. Just be fooled."

But Shi Feng said: "This blunderbuss makes your hands numb when you put it on. It will definitely be skewed. It will be much more stable if you don't need something to support it. Your strength is not as good as mine. If you release it, be careful not to hit someone. The next step is to Let me let it go."

Luo Tong held an iron gun filled with gunpowder and lead as if he was holding a toy: "No way. I prepared the gunpowder, and I haven't even fired a gun yet."

"The following is a sixty-step target, and you won't be able to hit it. Let me do it." Shi Feng stretched out his hand and begged Bai Lai to ask for Luo Tong's firecracker.A group of people around saw the two chieftains arguing like children fighting for a toy, and they all thought it was funny, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud.

At this moment, there was a rush of hoofbeats approaching from far away, and everyone turned their heads to look, and saw an eleven or twelve-year-old half-old kid running over on a local pony.The horse ran up to him, and before the child could get off the horse, he shouted angrily: "No, no! Just now someone reported that an official from Goryeo led hundreds of soldiers to the island and went to the Star Lord. He said he was going to arrest all of us Song people!"
