"Now that Ding Jinglue has made up his mind, I will risk it all. There is still this year's spring tax in the Transportation Department that has not been paid to Bianliang, so I will move some of it out for Jinglue to call at any time!"
Hearing Ding Wei's decisive words, Chen Yaozi's face felt hot. He thought for a while and then bravely expressed his stance.
"No need!" Ding Wei smiled and waved his hands grandly, "You are new here and misappropriating taxes without authorization will definitely affect your future. I am already in the second rank of the official position. There is no promotion except to worship the prime minister. I have temporarily embezzled the official treasury.
As long as the savings are not moved back to my own home, my career will not be greatly affected!"
"The high righteousness of the business plan, the lower officials admire it very much!" Chen Yaozi was greatly moved, and blushed and saluted again.
However, deep down in his heart, he couldn't help but murmur to himself: "When we were in Bianliang before, Ding Shuzhi was famous as a glass ball. He could hide away from trouble and avoid any trouble. How come he was less than two people in the place?
You have become so responsible in the past year?”
At this moment, Ding Wei couldn't care less about how others viewed him. He took Han Qing and finalized some details of the division of labor and cooperation between them, and then started to put the plan into action.
Although the Yellow River in this era changed its course frequently, it was not yet a suspended river. The water flow was much more abundant than in Han Qing's previous life, and even a large ship carrying five hundred grains could go upstream to Bianliang.
Han Qing had just defeated the Goryeo Navy not long ago and captured a lot of warships. The largest of them was only over 120 years old, sailing on the Yellow River without any worries of running aground.
Therefore, it took a day and a half to deploy troops, organize weapons, food, and baggage. Early on the third day, Han Qing led 10,000 soldiers and horses composed of box soldiers, grain men, and fishermen, sailed out to sea, and crossed
Laizhou Bay is diagonally inserted into the mouth of the Yellow River 300 miles away.
Old General Han Chongyun was personally invited out of the mountain by Ding Wei and went to Dengzhou to take charge. Seeing his grandson calmly commanding thousands of troops, he was so excited that he burst into tears.
Although he has never asked why his grandson's personality, speech, behavior, and even living habits have undergone huge changes after he became seriously ill that year? However, it is impossible for the old general not to notice that the old general who returned from the Yongxing Army Road
My grandson is completely different from the one he had when he left Bianliang!
It is even more impossible not to discover that Han Qing once performed a magical medical skill in the Zhenrong Army in the name of his ancestors, and taught the medical skill to many doctors in the army. But he himself knew nothing about that medical skill.
!
The old general originally planned to secretly find a wise Taoist priest to help him find out whether his grandson had awakened the wisdom of his previous life or was possessed by evil spirits, so that he could take further action.
But now, the old general firmly believes that his grandson has awakened Su Hui from his previous life, not the latter. Furthermore, he does not intend to interfere in any further way.
"Just pretend that I don't notice, and the grandfather and grandson continue to be confused." Secretly wiping the corners of his eyes, the old general looked at the sail shadow getting further and further away, and said in his heart. "Even if he was a god in heaven in his previous life, in this life,
He is also my direct grandson!"
"Even if he could go to heaven and earth in his previous life, his surname will be Han in this life. What he does will only make the ancestors of the Han family feel more honored!"
Although it was midsummer, the southeast wind had rarely blown in the past few days. The fleet braved the wind and waves and entered the Yellow River in only one day.
Continuing to row upstream along the Yellow River, the fleet's speed became much slower. It was only six or seven miles per hour, and when the wind was too weak, it had to rely on the brothers' oars to avoid retreating without advancing.
Han Qing didn't have much official business to deal with on the ship, so he simply ordered someone to fetch a crossbow and seriously began to study how to modify the oil tank on the crossbow into a
Fire and thunder bombs.
In his previous life, he was not an open-minded person. In this life, he is slightly stronger than the previous one, but he still holds a lot of grudges.
According to Chen Yaozi's speculation, the reason why Xingrensi in the south of Liao Dynasty issued a death order for him was because he donated gunpowder and grenades to the Song Dynasty court. Han Qing became ruthless in his heart and wanted to kill him with black powder.
The scope of application is further developed.
Anyway, Han couldn't see the Emperor of Liao and the legendary Queen Mother Xiao. Even if he did, he couldn't plead with them to let me go.
Making hand grenades was a mortal sin in the eyes of the Liao kings and ministers, so Han might as well get the ballista out as soon as possible.
If the ballista is successfully produced, landmines can also be included in the research and development schedule.
It is impossible for a person to be killed twice. The monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom are unreasonable, so there is no need for Han to worry about changing the original course of history!
In addition, Han Qing has always had a very clear understanding of his leadership level. He never thought that he could compare with veterans who had been fighting for half his life.
When he fought against Cai Renyuan some time ago, he didn't fight even once in an upright manner. He only used various oblique and crooked moves.
If he encounters the Liao army next, even if it is a partial division, Han Qing is not sure that he will be better than his opponent in terms of on-the-battle command and strategic deployment. Therefore, he can only find ways to use his side's advantage in weapons to the fullest.
maximum.
Once there is a generational difference in weapons, the weaker side has to use doubled lives of soldiers and tenacious willpower to make up for it. Moreover, it often pays huge sacrifices and still cannot make up for it.
This is a "truth" proven with countless people's blood. When Han Qing was a soldier in his previous life, he had heard and witnessed it countless times in the media.
In this era, the total number of soldiers and horses in the Liao Kingdom was definitely not as good as that of the Song Dynasty. The soldiers' willpower was slightly stronger than that of the Song Dynasty, but it was also very limited.
The further the Song army leads in terms of weapons, the lower the possibility of defeat.
With this in mind, Han Qing became more and more motivated on the deck.
Learning from the previous few lessons, it was also to prevent a "shameless little prodigal" from finding an opportunity to get close to her husband again. Dou Rong and Xu Ziling did not obey Han Qing's arrangement this time and stayed at the temporary residence in Dengzhou to wait for their husbands.
Triumph.
The two of them insisted on boarding the ship with the large group of people on the grounds of preventing their husband from being assassinated.
Han Qing was also worried that the Liao assassins would not find a chance to attack him and might turn their attention to Dou Rong and Xu Ziling. Therefore, after pretending to scold them for a few words, he acquiesced to the behavior of the two wives.
After making up his mind to modify the crossbow gun, Han Qing immediately began to rejoice in his choice.
Although they have never systematically studied mechanical manufacturing, Dou Rong and Xu Ziling are much better than the soldiers around Han Qing, both in terms of brains and fingers.
Xu Ziling, in particular, was good at all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Once Han Qing briefly discussed his ideas with her, she could quickly draw a rough sketch on paper.
Although the proportions, accuracy, etc. are far different from the design drawings Han Qing had seen in his previous life, it still has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort!
Time passed quickly in the busyness. When Han Qing completed the modification of the first batch of ballistae and ordered people to load it on the ballistae, the fleet had already arrived at Yucheng Ferry.
How often had the people around Yucheng seen such a huge fleet? Immediately, their already agitated hearts quickly settled down.
The local officials in Linyi, Yucheng and Qizhou were originally in panic. When they heard that Han Tixing, who had just defeated the Goryeo navy, arrived in a boat, they quickly gained a backbone.
In the Liao Kingdom of this era, there was no concept of military pay. The army relied on war to support war, and would rob wherever it fought. Therefore, unless a few were born cheap, most local gentry were not willing to be obedient citizens of the Liao Kingdom.
When they learned that Han Tixing had led his soldiers and horses to Yucheng to take charge, the local wealthy households in Qizhou took the initiative to raise grain, grass, cattle and sheep and sent them to the military camp without bothering the government. This greatly improved the morale of Han Qing's soldiers and horses.
Vibrate again and again.
Seeing that both the military and the people's morale were available, Han Qing felt much more relaxed. He simply gathered large and small warships together and built a huge water fort on the south bank of the Yellow River. At the same time, he sent elite scouts to the north bank on sentry boats to spy on the Liao army.
