Bian Jing. Imperial City, Houyuan.

Emperor Zhao Zhen still seemed to be in a bad spirit, but he carried a flintlock rifle in a silly manner than Han Qi.

Guns are high-quality guns, and just the materials, craftsmanship and carving of wooden gun handles are everywhere.

I heard that I have to shoot one bullet before shooting, which is called foreplay and warm-up.

Khan, the so-called series of listeners, this gun was added to Han Qi. In order to buy a gun for Hedong, Han Qi sent it to the capital for the emperor to try it out. He repeatedly changed hands, and I don’t know who they heard that “before shooting, you have to use one pipe first.”

So now, Lao Zhao wiped it with a rag without listening.

Emperor Fukang, who was one year older, was excitedly watching the emperor's father perform.

Seeing that the people around him were not aware of the harshness. Now Lao Zhao, who was mentally keen on Long Aotian, was even more proud. He smiled while brushing the gun, "This was developed and created by Wang Rong. He gave it to Han Qi. Han Qi was filial and sent it to me for 800 miles. It was called a flintlock spear. I heard that it was extremely magical and could subvert the existing war methods. I have been studying it for a long time according to the instructions. Today is my first test shot. I hope it will be effective."

Emperor Fukang said curiously: "Why didn't the big son give it to you directly?"

Zhao Zhen said: "This child is not going to go on an ordinary road. I protect him because he has already had a great hatred. So he is very smart in this matter. If he gives it to me directly, it will be the "nonsense" that the old masters said. They will say that I am confused and lose my ambition with the children. But Han Qi accepted it and sent it to me, which is another concept."

After a few moments, the people in front were cleared and Lao Zhao opened fire at the rockery stones two hundred steps away.

The fireworks hit scared everyone up. I didn't expect that the noise was quite loud.

Lao Zhao, who fired the gun, was so scared that he threw the gun and ran away, then looked at the flintlock rifle that fell to the ground in horror.

In front of them, there were sand and stones flying everywhere, and a piece of rockery was missing from a close distance by a flintlock rifle.

"Your Majesty's mighty light shines on the Song Dynasty!"

Old Chen immediately smiled and patted the horses. In fact, he might not think it was so powerful. Old Chen asked himself that throwing a stone over can cause even greater damage than this.

The emperor is generally like a naughty child, but he still has his knowledge. He twirled his beard proudly and waited for the people next to him to finish taking a horse before he exclaimed: "I really didn't expect that the things that the child created this time are extraordinary? I am not lacking in innovation and prodigy in the Song Dynasty, but in my opinion, the best one is Wang Yun. Han Qi told me not to despise the power of the flintlock rifle is not as powerful as the Divine Arm Crossbow, but because the threshold is low, it is easy to train sergeants, and the price is terrifyingly cheap. Han Qi told me personally that the purchase price of this thing is only one forty of the Divine Arm Crossbow."

"What!"

“What…”

Everyone around was shocked. Isn’t this a dream?

Except for the Fukang Emperor who came to join in the fun, the people here are all from the Imperial City Department and are all experts. They are used to using the Divine Arm Crossbow, and they believe that the power of the flintlock rifle is only enough, but if the price is really low, it is obviously a kind of subversion.

"Old servant dares to ask His Majesty, what is the effective range of this flintlock rifle?" Old Chen asked.

Zhao Zhen really didn't know about this, so he looked at Di Qing because he had been handed over to Di Qing for testing before.

Di Qing said: "I heard from Mr. Han Qi that this gun is a special high-quality product, and its range has greatly exceeded the Xixia version of the God-arm Crossbow to more than 600 steps. However, the mass-produced version cannot reach it, so it can only be 450 steps. If you don't consider the projectile method, it does happen to exceed the range of my Great Song Divine Arm Crossbow."

The performance gap between the mass-produced version is still large, and arrows are only used for shooting, so they are generally not as good as the Divine Arm Crossbow.

At this point, the members of the Imperial City Division and the emperor were somewhat disappointed and felt that it was not perfect.

However, Di Qing is really a military genius. Among the people here, he understands Wang Yun's ideas the most, and then clasps his fists and says: "Your Majesty clearly sees that the flintlock rifle is indeed imperfect, but its biggest feature is that it subverts the rules of war. There are too few divine arm crossbows and the training of long-term craftsmen is too difficult. According to my experience, qualified long archers cannot be trained in less than two years, and the training cost is too high, and the cost of qualified arrows is very high. Therefore, this innovation of Xiao Wang is of great significance to me. As far as I have experienced a long battle formation, for ordinary people, the biggest difficulty in the battlefield lies in psychological pressure. It requires real swords and guns to fight face to face and bleeding. This psychological process is difficult for most people. Only a very small number of surviving veterans can slowly adapt. Therefore, throughout history, brave troops that often overcome psychological obstacles will usually be invincible as long as they do not make obvious strategic mistakes."

Di Qing is definitely qualified to speak in this regard, because he has really led the way countless times and is so persuasive that others don’t understand much, so he has to nod frequently.

Di Qing continued: "The purpose of the flintlock rifle is not to power, but to give psychological comfort to ordinary soldiers, allowing them to avoid the concept of bloodshed and long-range strikes. So I dare to say that if I can really get a lot of equipment, it can indeed greatly improve the morale and morale of our non-elite troops in the Song Dynasty."

After pausing, Di Qing said, "Donald Zhang Fangping had a famous saying in the battle of Song and Xia that the more soldiers with poor quality, the more counterproductive it will be. The facts proved to be true. Most malnutritional peasant children were forced to take up swords. Under the conditions of fear to the limit and insufficient training, they had to go into battle. Faced with real swords and guns, when there were more people who died, some people wanted to retreat. This formed a trend. Negative emotions spread in the army like plague, and on the contrary, trapped the hands and feet of elite soldiers who could fight. Therefore, I believed that the problem of war was mainly elite soldiers, and the first battle was very critical. After winning the first battle, the team behind me was able to lead. This was the tactical intention of me to put 20,000 Tianwu Army at that time, and only used 800 elite cavalry to attack Kunlun Pass."

Di Qing had only eight hundred elite cavalry victories at Kunlun Pass. This is a fact, and everyone can only accept it.

Zhao Zhen also heard some feelings and nodded and said, "Switch on."

However, Di Qing had almost finished speaking and concluded: "From my experience, Mr. Zhang Fangping proposed the nature of war that everyone was unwilling to face at the theoretical level, while Wang Rong used a flintlock rifle to actually solve the problems raised by Mr. Zhang Fangping at that time."

Di Qing praised it so much that the emperor with Long Aotian's mentality felt more and more that he felt that it was not a big deal. I used Zhang Fangping and praised Wang Rong, which is really a stroke of magic. Who said that I just blindly protect and indulge myself and can't use people?

At this point, the emperor was embarrassed to praise the child too much, so he turned to twist his beard and said, "I just said that Zhang Fangping is really the minister of my great Song Dynasty. There was a reason why I tried to disagree with the public. But they always didn't understand me and thought I was indulging intent. A few days ago, they grabbed some of Zhang Fangping's small mistakes and refused to let go, making me unable to come to Taiwan. It was even more hateful than Bao Zheng back then. In the end, Zhang Fangping had to submit his resignation."

General Manager Chen said: "Since it is as magical as what Shuai Di said, this thing should be equipped with a lot of equipment."

However, it is easy to say that this is the real political issue, or even a blatant reform.

There are too many issues and vested interests involved. Zhao Zhen has this idea, but he becomes too immense when he thinks about it and doesn't keep talking about it. He really doesn't have the courage to go this way when he is in poor health after a serious illness.

There are not no problems with flintlock rifles, there are a lot of problems. If you really want to find them, you can find many of them. Literati are always very good at doing such things, and gods can be found by them.

Once too many problems are found and traditional arms suppliers are fueled by the fire, many problems will arise from the military.

There is one thing that Zhao Zhen is not confused. Han Qi and Fu Bi like to kill officers for a reason. A large group of middle and senior generals in the Song Dynasty did not care about combat power or weapon performance. Simply put, what kind of arms brought them great benefits, they shouted that they were useful and accepted. Others refused.

Di Qing, who really understood the military, became the deputy envoy of Privy Councillor, only mentioned that "the Song Dynasty did not need to rely too much on cavalry and divine arm crossbows", which was almost everyone's beating. At that time, Ouyang Xiu called the most fiercely, but he was just a troll who was exploited.

Zhang Fangping also jumped out and beat Di Qing. That was just because Zhang Fangping believed that Di Qing was incorrect. After the deep-rooted atmosphere of the Song Dynasty had been developed, the dynasty was in a period of internal and external troubles and strong enemies, so it was not advisable to activate the military system. This does not mean that Lao Zhang thought Di Qing was wrong.

Considering this, the emperor has seen Wang Yun’s reverse reform method not publicizing from the grassroots level recently. The emperor believes that it has some effect. Now Wang Yun’s risk resistance is too weak and his reputation is not enough, so Zhang Fangping has been bitten by them.

The flintlock rifle is only in the early stages of research and development, with too many problems and far from enough production capacity. At this time, there is no ability to subvert the military system. If it promotes the warlords and bureaucrats in advance to rebound, it is a fool's behavior.

From this point of view, Zhao Zhen shouted praises to Wang Yun in his heart, and the child had never even promoted this thing outside Funing County. Then he cleverly avoided suspicion. In order not to be impeached, "creating secret weapons privately", the child did not promote it but gave it to Han Qi. Han Qi, a lot of people who hate him. But no one would say that he had "misintention". Then Han Qi also sent the first shot, so that the emperor knew about these things in advance.

This is done perfectly. While I know it, Funing County and Hedong do not promote it, but as a pilot, it launches this change from the bottom. As a result, it is much simpler when the flintlock does not violate the laws of the Song Dynasty, and it will not become a political issue. It will be encountered by those people at the beginning.

There will definitely be noise, but that is not a national problem. Han Qi and Wang Rong are accused of being accused of "making troubles, causing troubles". Those old masters who are like white paper in the Song Dynasty cannot be said, but these two beautiful things are really not so important to be sued for by others.

In addition, Han Qi, who knows how to do anything else, will kill the officers to intimidate him. So in theory, if the flintlock rifle does not violate the laws of the Song Dynasty, it can only implement this change in the Hedong Army, which is the pilot area with the least resistance. This matter is a combination of heaven, and only Han Qi can shock him and is willing to raise such hatred.

If it were other bureaucrats, it would be like the "moral-lost recruit" that Di Qing said. Even if he was loyal and wanted to do things, he would offend people once he had resistance and would rather wait and wait for the big climate. But Zhao Zhen knew very well that no one would do it, and when everyone was waiting for the big climate, there would never be a so-called big climate.

This is the root cause of the Song Dynasty.

Hedong has Han Qi in politics, and he is also a person who is full of stains and is not afraid of being stabbed by others. In the military, Hedong has become the best reform pilot area. Because it is well known that the mainland is the base camp of conservatives and corrupt scholars, the situation is the most complex and the thinking is the most conservative. In Shaanxi and Hebei, one faces the Western Xia and the other faces the Liao Kingdom. After the reform easily shakes the morale of the army and subverts the original defensive method, no one can bear the responsibility once there is a problem.

So Zhao Zhen was in a good mood when he thought of this. It was really luck. No matter the region, the personnel involved, or the best pilot area for change, it would not be too difficult to put out the fire if it failed. However, once it succeeds, when one day there is a subversion, and the Funing New Army, which relies on the Hedong Army and the prodigy, can withstand the troubles of the east and west sides of the Song Dynasty. Then it will be time to truly remove the traditional military system from the bottom of the fire.

There is never a secret to reform, and you must not rely on past things. This is what children have always talked about.

Uncle Zhao has no execution ability and claims to be more resourceful and less decision-making, but he just loves to think about it and likes to think about it. So he fooled himself and thought of the incomparable blood here. Even though Han Qi and Wang Rong don’t have so much intention, they just keep trying and making mistakes. As they do, the situation becomes. Uncle Zhao also thinks it is a match made by nature and is very satisfied with his "employment strategy".

"From the beginning to the end, my methods and judgments have always been correct."

At this point, Old Zhao announced with his head raised his chest: "I just need to know about the actions of the child Funing County and Han Qi from Hedong. There is no need to deliberately promote it or keep it secret. Just treat it as something that will happen normally."

Di Qing and General Manager Chen hurriedly bowed to show that they understood.

Old Zhao felt tired and left, saying, "Transfer my order to add Wang Rong's official title to the eighth rank to the Secretariat, and to the editorial officer of the Privy Council. In addition, Wang Rong likes to tinker with new affairs the most and likes to research and development. In order to avoid his worries, I specially gave him a royal manufacturing brand so that he can do his best to invent it." After saying that, he left.

The editorial affairs of the Privy Council are considered an optional small official. They are not regular affairs officers, but they are a bit like technical small committee members, but they are also the official series of the Privy Council. Speaking of which, it is really suitable for those who like to write policy and edit textbooks.

Then Wang Rong was the ninth rank before, but now he is promoted to the eighth rank. Is his political achievements good? It is very common for small officials to jump to two levels in one go. Anyway, the lower the rules, the easier it is to advance, and it will become more and more difficult in the future. At a certain time, there will be a ceiling. For example, if someone is not trusted by the emperor, if someone who is not a Jinshi, there will be a ceiling.

In addition, with the system of the Song Dynasty, the magistrate was a central commissioner. It is common for such people to hold some central positions in the capital. However, the strange thing is that people who are not Jinshi would not do this. The emperor is really in a naughty state. Without the blood of Jinshi, he promoted the little kid Wang Rong to two levels and added the title of editor of the Privy Council. This is indeed rare.

The most awesome is the royal manufacturing brand, which is almost equivalent to the second place of the craftsman. So in theory, Wang Yun is now legal in making the divine arm crossbow. In terms of production authority, it is even greater than the military manufacturing supervisor of the Ministry of War, and it is on par with the craftsman... nt
