Chapter 581 If anything happens to the Number One Scholar, leave it to the Imperial City Department to handle it (fourth update)
"Don't worry, Mr. Ji Yuan, our family has recruited a group of skilled craftsmen from the gunpowder factory. In addition, the formula must be kept secret."
"Our family has obtained official approval and selected a few eunuchs from the palace to be responsible for the proportion of gunpowder."
"They are all old people in the palace, and there are people supervising them. At least we can guarantee that no one will leak it."
In addition, the Shenlei Company could ensure safety by arranging it more than 30 miles away from Bianliang, Tokyo, and it also meant that it could test bombing outside a valley near the city wall that month.
In addition, the human legs of the Imperial City Division were arranged around it to ensure the concealment and safety of the Shenlei Division.
After Yang Douzhi explained it in detail, he couldn't help but ask Gao Zhang.
"Mr. Yuan Gong, if you know that the divine thunder medicine has been produced to a certain extent, I wonder what should I do if I receive it from the east?"
Divine Thunder Powder, the name did not come from the mouth of the master, and it would be different from the more common gunpowder in the Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, and it would also deny the confidentiality of that powerful gunpowder.
After all, just hearing the name makes it difficult to connect the two things.
"There's no need to worry. As for the fire, um, the divine thunder medicine, just continue to produce it."
"During those confinement months, he has asked the Kaifeng Metal Workshop to trial-produce a device specially used to launch divine thunder. I believe it will be ready in a short time."
"When the time comes, let's use it to test the effect."
"I dare to ask Zhuangyuan Gong, if I know what kind of utensil..."
Hearing whether the No. 1 Scholar had come up with something new, Yang Douzhi couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he asked Gao Tao awkwardly.
"I must also know how much damage a leg mine can cause."
After seeing Yang Douzhi nodding, Gao Zhang raised his legs and made east gestures.
"If there is an instrument, I can throw a pack of divine thunder equivalent to thirty or fifty leg thunders into the enemy formation 250 steps away and explode it in one go..."
"..." Yang Douzhi stared blankly at Gao Zhang in front of him, watching his leg gestures, and then heard the data.
Yang Douzhi almost said vulgar words like "Am I bragging?" on the spot.
But what he saw was Gao Zhang's calm and calm smiling face.
Yang Douzhi began to rack his brains, and his mind began to spin rapidly. He soon slapped his thigh with a big hand, with an expression of sudden realization.
"Could it be that Duke Zhuang Yuan is planning to use the Eight Ox Crossbow?"
The Eight Ox Crossbow is definitely one of the several high-precision long-range military weapons of the Song Dynasty.
Not only is the craftsmanship very complex, but the point is also very powerful. It can shoot an arrow like a shovel-like crossbow into the city wall, penetrating many feet into the wall.
If there is no one in front of us, we can just shovel off a dozen heads without breathing.
"The Eight Ox Crossbow is indeed a good offensive and defensive weapon of the Song Dynasty, but it is difficult to move. Besides, the Kaifeng Metal Workshop is not a private workshop after all. How can it be used to make such important weapons for the imperial court..."
"It won't be easy to explain for a while. I will definitely test its power when it is produced. Then I will know what it is."
While the two were whispering, Zhao Abban had already rushed over, holding a wooden box in his legs.
And what is dazzled there is the relevant information about Zhang Shuye, the Minister of Rites of the Song Dynasty.
That made Gao Zhang smile with satisfaction. Sure enough, he was worthy of being the predecessor of the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty and the secret service agency of the Song Dynasty.
When it comes to getting information, you should go there and not just listen to the one-sided words of Wu Shangshu and Chen Shilang.
There, is there information about the thickness of a book, including the relationship between Zhang Shuye's characters, the names of his parents, uncles, and brothers, including his wife, who married him, how many concubines he had, and how many children he had.
Everything is clear.
Of course, those are not the focus of Gao Zhang's inquiry, but the information about this person since he became an official.
What happened when he was in office, what was his performance in government affairs, and what kind of people did he have a close relationship with?
Those are the relevant information that the Imperial City Department focuses on recording.
From that information, a rough impression of Zhang Shuye gradually appeared in his mind.
That person was indeed a talented man with both civil and military skills. He was proficient in the art of war when he was young, and he joined the army as an official in Lanzhou under the influence of his father.
It was there that Lanzhou was located on the border of the Song Dynasty. It relied on the natural moat of the Yellow River to stabilize itself. Every year when the Yellow River froze, it was put on alert to prevent Qiang invasion.
It turned out that Zhang Shuye felt that this was not the solution, but he carefully inspected both sides of the Yellow River and realized that there was a place in Tiandu, between the five roads. The Qiang people who invaded other places must first gather there.
He planned an attack strategy and finally succeeded in capturing the land. The imperial court built a garrisonable city called Xi'an Prefecture here. From then on, there was no Qiang trouble in Lanzhou.
Moreover, Zhang Shuye at that time was just a young man who had just entered the official career.
After that, he successively served as the magistrate of Xiangcheng and Chenliu County, and later he was appointed as the deputy envoy of protocol, general affairs officer, and aide to the Ansu army.
Later, the imperial court called him to take an examination and granted him a Jinshi background, and he was promoted to Yousi Yuanwailang.
After reading Zhang Shuye's information, Gao Zhang really had to be convinced. Wu Zhizhong and Chen Shilang were indeed right. Zhang Shuye was indeed a worthy minister.
Moreover, Marco was able to carry the sword and Marco Dong was a talented general and minister with both civil and military skills.
In Bu Nao, one time, his younger brother Zhang Kegong impeached the traitor Cai Jing, which angered the narrow-minded traitor. He was also implicated and went to take charge of the affairs.
Presumably when he was in Guanzhong at that time, he would hold a handful of grass at every turn and silently greet Cai Jing.
Maybe that's why he fought so fiercely with Cai Jing after he returned to Beijing to take up his post.
After all, I didn’t do anything and I came to mess with him. If I didn’t mess with me, if I did it again, wouldn’t it be even more unfair?
Of course, this is just based on Gao Gao's own imagination and speculation. Maybe his partner is not as vulgar as he is, and all he cares about is his family and his country.
In fact, his moral bottom line is also very high. Just now, I just wanted to consider the problem from the perspective of a victim. This does not mean that the dignified champion has no bottom line as a human being.
Gao Zhang read all the information carefully and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Gao Zhang finally let go of the thick information, Zhao Adban on the side came to ask in a very shameless manner.
"Mr. Yuan Yuan, why are you specifically seeking information about Zhang Shuye? Could it be that he has provoked you?"
Yang Duzhiyi, who was standing next to him, felt something in his heart. In the first two steps, there was a hint of harshness in the soft voice.
"Don't worry, Mr. Ji Yuan. Our family and Zhao Yaban have been friends with you for many years. If something really happens, just leave it to our family to handle it. I guarantee it will be done properly."
