Of course, there were similar discussions in the palace of the Song Dynasty, but in the Zishan Hall where the prince and the prince taught. Today, the lecture was not others, but Zhao Zhen himself, as the emperor, actually wanted to use this relaxing afternoon to relax, but the Queen Wang Yuyan was more concerned about the education of the children than anyone else.

So Zhao Zhen had to say goodbye to the club in the Imperial Garden, which was called by the Song people. Zhao Zhen prefers to call it golf... This is a football game passed down from the Tang Dynasty. It should be something similar to a goal ball in later generations.

However, the intensity of this club cannot be compared with polo. After winning Zhongjing Road, a special polo game will be held in Mulan Eidground. Now this golf is just a ball sport that cultivates one's character.

Zhao Zhen felt a little unhappy that he could not participate in golf today. After all, today is a competition between the ministers in the court. If he didn't go, how could he see these people fighting?

Once these courtiers who were gentle and gentle in the past went to the grass on the golf course, they were so murderous. They said that golf is an elegant sport, but it was wonderful in this court where there was no first in literature and no second in martial arts!

In order to compete for the honor of the golden club, civil officials often abandoned their original style and kept counting the number of strokes. The scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty liked the most was the match, which was to accumulate the number of strokes in each hole. After a 18-hole game, the total number of strokes was added up and the winner was determined by the total number of strokes.

The civil officials like this elegant ball sports very much. After all, everyone is a person who plays by throwing pots. When outdoors, they compete with clubs and weapons-like things. Literati are simply crazy.

Today is the day when civil officials compete for the Golden Clutch Awards, and by the way it is also a gathering for them to discuss the war in Zhongjing. Compared with their past disgust with war, the current civil officials of the Song Dynasty are more like court officials in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. They have a lot of confidence in war.

Over the years, Zhao Zhen has been injecting young blood into the Song Dynasty, making the entire court younger while also making the court full of vigor.

Originally, Zhao Zhen wanted to go and see, but now he saw the two equally depressed faces of Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun. The two brothers were less concerned about Zishantang's studies. It was not that their studies were boring, nor that they didn't want to study.

Instead, the masters here are often asked by their questions and do not know how to answer them. One of them is the prince of the Song Dynasty and the prince of the Song Dynasty. It is necessary to think carefully about solving their doubts.

Although Pang Ji had successfully resigned, he could not resign from his mission to Zishantang. The title of Prince Taishi is not an ordinary official position, it is an honor, a supreme honor.

However, for people from Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun, the father’s teaching was the most interesting. There were no Four Books and Five Classics, and no major principles, but a more interesting way.

Zhao Zhen came to teach today with an exquisite musket. The small school ground in Zishan Hall was originally used for Professor Di Qing to ride and shoot, but today a straw man target was set up. Chen Tong hid in the tunnel in front of the target, listened to the sound of gunfire, dusted the dust on his hat in the dust, and stood up to shake the flag in his hand.

The eighth ring was already an excellent achievement for the rifled rifles of the Song Dynasty. This straight rifle was not very accurate, but it was also the best musket of this era. The spiral cavity manufacturing was too complicated and the Song Dynasty's technical level had not yet reached it.

Zhao Zhen smiled at the musket in his hand and said to the two children: "You all know the principles of this. We won't talk about these today, but we have to talk about the pros and cons of firearms on the battlefield."

The two children raised their hands one after another, Zhao Yun spoke first, and he, the younger brother, always gets the care of his elder brother Zhao Xu: "Father, the child thinks that the advantage of firearms lies in simple operations. Even children can kill heavy armored soldiers. Ordinary farmers can enter the battlefield with a little training. Our Song Dynasty firearms are fast to load, high accuracy, and strong penetration. If they go to the battlefield, they will be invincible."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and Zhao Yun immediately told the benefits of the musket, but Zhao Xu said: "My son thinks that the function of a firearm is to intimidate and intimidate the world. Such a sharp weapon can be a magical weapon. The Liao people have never seen it before. Once they use its power to destroy the dead and decay, they can defeat the elite of the Liao Dynasty!"

What Zhao Xu saw was even further. He not only started from the value of the musket itself, but also started from the war between countries to analyze the pros and cons.

Both sons' answers were excellent, which also satisfy Zhao Zhen, but Zhao Xu asked again: "Father, why is there only artillery guns and powder bullets put into the battlefield, and no one knows the muskets except our Tianjia and Firearms Camp? They have never been put into war?"

As Zhao Xu said, Zhao Yun nodded curiously. Even the three talents who were making records on the side were quite curious. Yes! Why did the officials refuse to use this magical weapon on the Liao people?

Zhao Zhen nodded. It seemed that when we answered this question, it was time to answer it with them. Not only Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun, but even Cai Boyi did not understand the profound meaning. The only minister who knew and submitted a memorial to him was Di Qing.

"Your uncle has also asked me this question. After thinking for a long time, I found that the time has not come. You have seen the convenience and lethality of the firearm. A child can even use it to easily kill a strong man, a strong man in full armour. This is its advantage. However, the firearm seems complex but the structure is simple and extremely easy to imitate. I have asked the firearm camp and the Jingju Academy to do experiments."

Zhao Zhen paused, and looked at the children's increasingly curious eyes and said, "The Firearms Battalion handed over a musket to a craftsman in the Geju Academy, a craftsman who never knew what a musket was. He was originally a carpenter and later became a blacksmith. After seeing the musket, he quickly imitated it with simple materials. Guess what to take it?"

Zhao Yun replied without thinking: "It must be inferior to the muskets of the Firearms Battalion." Although Zhao Xu didn't say anything, Zhao Zhen knew from his eyes that he agreed with his younger brother's statement.

Zhao Zhen nodded: "It is not as good as the firearm battalion's musket, but it can also be fired normally. Although the gunpowder is not as good as the firearm battalion's gunpowder, it can also shoot projectiles into a tree trunk of a hundred meters. If these muskets were obtained by the Liao people on the battlefield, what would the consequences be?

The Liao people are no more dull than our Song people, and there are no fewer skilled craftsmen. They can already imitate the gunpowder bullets of our Song Dynasty. Although they are not powerful, they are already the beginning. If the muskets are taken by them, with their skilled archery and horse foundation on their horseback, what should our Song Dynasty cavalry? This is a double-edged sword………”

"Then our Song Dynasty is using such a powerful weapon?"
