I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 754 Dali's suspicion

The books of the workshop city firearms are very standardized, even if they are standardized, after all, they are accounts of more than ten years, and they cannot be sorted out in a short time.

Zhao Xi didn't keep Su Song, so he could understand Su Song's hesitation.The prince was attacked, after all, it was a matter involving the palace, and it was not suitable for ministers to intervene too deeply. It was even said that Su Song had reached the limit of a courtier.

I don't know if it was Su Song's intention, or the accounts of the firearms in the workshop city are arranged in chronological order, and the accounts presented were the earliest accounts of firearms that Zhao Xi saw first.

The accounts are very complete, even those muskets and gunpowder in the earliest workshops in the guard camp are recorded in the book, including the registration of all receipts, consumption, recycling, and destruction of previous training, combat, and expedition.

Zhao Xi looked at the accounts and was a little immersed in it, as if he was repeating his journey from the formation of the guard battalion... This is the best way to calm himself down.

From the mass production of firearms, to first equipping the guard battalion, to training with the captains and soldiers of the old guard battalion, the consumption of each training was recorded.

The gun barrel was so hot that it was discarded directly, the quantitative assembly of gunpowder, lead ball bullets to iron ball bullets, shotgun bullets to single-ball bullets... one by one, pile after pile, repeated in Zhao Xi's mind with.

wrong!Zhao Xi suddenly remembered that the training of using firearms...

At the scene where the crown prince was attacked, there were remnants of the first generation of firearms, but none of the officers of the imperial city found out that they were injured by firearms, and all the casualties were basically arrows... What does this mean?
Borrow a gun!Only when gangsters borrow guns and organize an attack hastily without training, can there be a situation where the firearms fail to perform.

"Zhongzheng, let you ask those who were on the scene at that time, what is the detailed situation?"

Zhao Xi seems to have found an entry point.

"Going back to the official's house, the moment the Imperial City Division discovered something abnormal, the prince's guards immediately divided the tasks. Most of them escorted the prince to leave, while a small part stayed to stop the gangsters. In fact, all those who stayed to stop the gangsters The scouting, all of them are gone, and there is no scouting to understand the details of the battle at that time."

"Officials, the memories of escorting the prince away, because in the Funiu Mountain area, the gunshots did not travel far, and they only heard gunshots, thinking that they were all gunshots fired by blocking gangsters."

Wait, Zhao Xi felt that something was wrong again.

Because of the water leakage of the water transport ship, the prince turned to land. Out of consideration for the safety of the prince, the Imperial City Secretary would never choose a remote passage, but only transfer to the official road, and the official road is still the official road connecting the water transport terminal and the rail station. How could there be no trace of people?

"Zhongzheng, how about the investigation of witnesses by the Imperial City Division?"

Zhao Xi complained a little bit to herself.Since the prince was attacked, he has been asking for the results of many affairs of the court until now, but he has not paid attention to the process... It is impossible to say whether he attaches importance to it or not.

"Going back to the official's house, there are no witnesses. Before and after the Great Court Meeting every year, the local state capital will invite the garrison to conduct selection training for local young adults of the right age."

"Since the implementation of the military service system and the selection of soldiers has become part of the evaluation of local officials, the local state government has been inviting the garrison to train civilians of the right age."

"All the training is aimed at the selection of soldiers. Every time it is time to train civilians, the local state capital will designate some areas as forbidden areas. When the prince passed by the official road in Xiangzhou, it was the official road in Xiangzhou that was closed for training. The last day."

If it weren't for this, the Imperial City Division's investigation in Xiangzhou would not have yielded nothing.

However, the Imperial City Division does not have the right to directly control the local state capital. Xiangzhou's reason is justified, and all the regulations are in compliance, and the investigation of the Imperial City Division can only go so far.

"The time for local training is fixed? Or does it depend on the situation in each place?"

Zhao Xi really didn't know about these trivial matters.

"Returning to the official house, the Imperial City Division has also done a comparison on this point. The time in various places is not fixed. Generally, during the slack season, the state capitals of various places set the time arbitrarily."

"The time in Xiangzhou is determined after the locals in Xiangzhou left to participate in the political affairs and left, and the state government and farm work were idle at the same time."

"The Imperial City Division inspected that the training time and location in Xiangzhou were determined before, that is, before the prince was attacked, it was basically close to the time planned by the imperial court for Daqing."

In this regard, the Imperial City Division could not find a reason, otherwise, simply pointing out that the crown prince was attacked in the Xiangzhou area would be enough to hold the Xiangzhou state government accountable.

It's a pity that the imperial court required secrecy, and even the place where the prince was attacked was cleaned up by the Imperial City Secretary.Even officials in the entire Xiangzhou state capital were not aware of the attack on the prince.

"Officials, because of the Han River, the water transportation in Xiangzhou is prosperous, and the officials on the land road are scattered. It is also a practice to close the official road training in Xiangzhou."

Wang Zhongzheng also had doubts about Xiangzhou state government officials, but the results of the investigation made it impossible for him to keep such opinions, and he did not dare to make suggestions to the officials at will...~The responsibilities and authority of the Imperial City Division prevent him from passing Most of them involve the court.

"Who is the official leading the training?"

"Going back to the official's house, it's the Xiangzhou regiment training judge Xing Shu Xing and uncle."

Punishment?The name Zhao Xi seemed familiar.Oh, it is Xing Shu who is very close to many great Confucian scholars.

From the situation described by Wang Zhongzheng, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the Xiangzhou government.However, Zhao Xi still wrote down the name.

Just like Cai Bian, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, and his elder brother Cai Jing, he memorized them all, and even used a special board to write down those people and things that seemed unrelated but seemed to be related.

This is the method of later generations, with disturbing clues, he needs to have an intuitive understanding, so as not to make mistakes in judgment again.

Seeing that the officials stopped asking, Wang Zhongzheng added the names of Xiangzhou, Tuanlian, and Xingshu to the board. Like Cai Bian, Ministry of Rites, and Jinghu Road in Caijing, they were all on this board, very scattered.

Wang Zhongzheng didn't dare to ask any more questions, but continued to serve the officials carefully, and accompanied the officials to look through the accounts of the workshop city's firearms.

Zhao Xi flipped through it carefully, and stopped from time to time to express emotion, of course, it was only emotion in his heart.

Although it is only the account of the workshop city firearms, it is also the process of the rise of the Song Dynasty.

In such an atmosphere of court in the Song Dynasty, it is indeed not easy to reach the current situation.

Since Zhao Xi came to this era, he never thought of being out of tune with this era. Instead, he blended into this era with his heart, and then slowly changed.

Fortunately, somewhat improved.

This is... how could I forget this!In addition to the workshop city firearms depot, there is Dali where firearms can be kept!
Because of the Gao family's rebellion, the Dali Duan family's request for help, and the imperial court's control over Dali to a certain extent, the imperial court had supported Dali with firearms.

Dali was suspicious, and Zhao Xi's heart sank a little. The whole incident seemed to be developing in the direction that he had tried his best to avoid.
