Just this sound, this smoke, there is no need to hurt the enemy at all. Just such a thunder will definitely frighten the opponent's horse. No matter how good the riding skills of the opponent's cavalry are, they will definitely be unable to control it.
This explosion made Zhao Kai feel so happy!
"good!"
When Wu Youhua ran back from the front, Zhao Kai immediately laughed and said: "Youhua, your heartless cannon really opened my eyes. With this power, even the opponent's 100,000 elite cavalry can be wiped out in an instant."
When it came to the latter part, he was full of confidence.
"More compliments from the Emperor."
Wu Youhua added: "If we get to the real battlefield, we can put some iron fragments and poison in, so that we can kill the enemy on a large scale."
It’s really heartless!
Li Qi chuckled: "With this power, even if the opponent is wearing heavy armor, he can't avoid being pierced."
Zhao Kai was even more happy when he heard that, and said: "It seems that when I am in a bad mood, I have to come here for a walk more often."
"ah?"
Yu Yunwen and others looked at Zhao Kai in surprise, "Are you in a bad mood and come here? Then I'm done."
Zhao Kai chuckled and said: "Because every time I come here, you all give me unexpected surprises. Last time it was the revitalizing cannon. This time I saw this heartless cannon. It makes me feel good."
Yu Yunwen let out a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as you feel good about it.
Li Qi suddenly laughed and said: "Your Majesty, because of your heartlessness, is the cannon more useful to cavalry or infantry?"
"Of course it's against the infantry."
Zhao Kai was suddenly startled as he spoke and said: "Yes, this kind of heartless cannon has such a simple structure. What if Jin Bing learns it and uses it to deal with us?"
Wu Youhua hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. This heartless cannon may seem simple, but there are still some tricks in it. If you imitate it at will, you may blow yourself up."
Li Qidao: "And your Majesty, the Jin Kingdom has only been established for a long time. The gunpowder formula they know is what we left over ten years ago. It has no power. Moreover, they do not have any industrial foundation and lack gunpowder materials. If he really uses gunpowder,
If they fight against us, that humble minister dares to pat his chest and guarantee that they will be dead."
Zhao Kai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then said: "Then why did you ask like that before?"
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you seem to have forgotten that we actually still have a battlefield where we are fighting fiercely."
Zhao Kai frowned, patted his forehead and said, "You are talking about Japan!"
I'm sorry, you really forgot, my poor Yan Fu, you can't bear such a cousin as you. Li Qi really felt unworthy for Yan Fu, nodded and said: "Most of Japan has infantry, and they
The infantry's armor is good, but no matter how good their armor is, can they withstand these heartless cannons? Wei Chen suggested that we immediately build a large number of heartless cannons and put them into the Japanese battlefield, so that we can harvest Japan's weapons at the fastest and lowest cost.
Huge amounts of gold and silver.”
Zhao Kai pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said: "You are right, I almost forgot about Japan." He shook his head and said: "If it weren't for the Ping clan, I might still be afraid of three points. After all, we have supplies.
It’s too far, and we still have to land, but now that we have the Hei clan’s base camp as a fulcrum, I don’t really care about Japan.”
Having said this, he nodded and said: "Japan is just an island country. It should be wiped out as soon as possible. If it is delayed for a long time, it may change." He thought again and said: "Immediately mass-produce unscrupulous cannons."
"The villain obeys your orders."
Next, Zhao Kai and Li Qi learned about every firearm in the Arms Supervision. Although there were no new weapons produced, firearms such as the Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Arrow had many improvements and became more perfect.
After the inspection, Li Qi and Zhao Kai left the base.
When he came outside the base, Zhao Kai stretched himself and said: "Since I came to the throne, it seems that this is the first time that I have encountered such a relaxed New Year. In the past, there were so many foreign guests to receive."
Li Qi sighed and said: "This may also be the eve of a storm."
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "It seems that you think the same as me."
Li Qi glanced at Zhao Kai in surprise and said, "Since the emperor thinks so too, why does he seem so relaxed?"
Zhao Kai looked into the distance and said: "Remember when I first came to the throne, the situation was much worse than it is now. Didn't you and I survive it at that time? Why call now?"
Li Qi frowned and said, "But the Emperor---."
Zhao Kai didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then smiled and said: "I know what you want to say, do you want to remind me not to be proud and complacent, but I am by no means arrogant and complacent. Now that Wanyan Zongwang is still alive, how can I be careless?
, but I have the determination to win. Oh, my confidence does not come from myself, but from my tens of millions of people. I now have the most vast territory since the founding of the Song Dynasty. The people have enough food and clothing, a population of over ten million, and a granary.
If it overflows, why worry about not destroying his great gold?"
As he spoke, he smiled again and said: "Actually, you also understand that if this drags on, our Song Dynasty will only become stronger, and his country of Jin does not have much room for improvement. For his country of Jin, this
The battle should be fought sooner rather than later. Instead of hanging here and making you and I feel like sitting on pins and needles every day, it is better to start as early as possible. I and my millions of soldiers can't wait. I will wear them to death even if I am wasting them in this battle.
"
Li Qi smiled softly and said: "Your Majesty is right. Our Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty is no longer what it used to be. We also have strong capital. There is no reason for us to worry."
Zhao Kai nodded and sighed: "It's just a pity that without horses, we can't have a good offensive method for the time being, so we can only strike later. But it doesn't matter, we have made complete preparations. The right way is to use a heavy sword without a sharp edge.
Isn’t that what it means?”
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Hearing what the emperor said, it really makes people look forward to it."
Zhao Kai said as if he suddenly remembered something and said: "I said that the vast territory of the Song Dynasty is the most solid backing for this war, so we must govern Tubo as soon as possible."
Li Qi saw that he was very ambitious, so he asked, "Does the emperor have any good ideas?"
"It's not a good idea."
Zhao Kai shook his head and continued: "But I think Tubo can learn from Yanshan Mansion. The reason why Yanshan Mansion can develop so fast is, to be honest, neither you nor me have any credit. The key lies in Zongze. It can be seen that for these
In places that have just been recovered and where people's hearts are unstable, it is necessary to set up a flag there and let people drive the system, so that Tubo can be revitalized as quickly as possible."
"The emperor is absolutely right."
As he spoke, Li Qi suddenly frowned and said: "But in this case, the requirements for this person are very high. Since a war may break out in the Western Region at any time, Tubo will be the front line, but Wu Jie, who leads the army there, although the military
He is great in many aspects, but in terms of politics, he is not flattering and is definitely not a good candidate. However, we in the Song Dynasty only have one Zongze who is both civil and military. Doesn’t the emperor want to transfer Zongze to Tubo?"
"Zongze is old, and he may not be able to bear the climate in Tubo."
Zhao Kai said: "Actually, I wrote to the breeder at the beginning, hoping that he could continue for another year or two, but he wrote back to me, saying that he had more than enough ambition but not enough energy, but he recommended someone for me."
Li Qi asked curiously: "Who?"
Zhao Kai said: "Xijing Zhao Ding."
"Zhao Ding?"
It sounded familiar to Li Qi, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Zhao Kai hummed and said: "This man was born as a Jinshi and served as the Luoyang Order during the Xuanhe period. Because he made great contributions in the defense of Kaifeng, I will continue to keep him in Luoyang. However, this man is extremely low-key, so
It is easy for people to overlook it, but according to Mr. Zhong, when he led the troops to rescue, he stayed in Luoyang for a while. At that time, Zhao Ding gave him advice and helped him a lot. There is another thing
, maybe you don’t know either.”
I don’t know? Are you kidding me? I wrote, directed, and acted in that big play. Is there something I don’t know about? Li Qi asked curiously: “What’s the matter?”
Zhao Kai said: "Actually, at that time, the breeder was very struggling. He was still thinking that he was on my side, but on the side of the Supreme Emperor. But at that time, Zhao Ding saw through our plan, so he
Just persuade the breeder that it doesn’t matter which side you stand on. You should not consider it from the internal affairs aspect. You should choose the right side. The worst is death. But if important events are delayed because of this, if the Kaifeng Mansion is breached, then your breeder
The father is a sinner through the ages. It was Zhao Ding's words that moved the father-in-law and made him resolutely choose to stand on our side. Only then did we launch a big counterattack, but Zhao Ding also knew that this matter could be serious.
It doesn't matter whether it's big or small, so I asked the breeder not to tell me about it. It wasn't until this time that the breeder confessed to me."
Li Qi nodded thoughtfully and said: "If that's the case, this man is really quite capable. At that time, Lian Taishi, Tong Guan and others were hidden from us, but he was able to know in advance.
His intelligence is evident." When he said this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows. Oops, I remembered who this person was. Isn't this Zhao Ding the famous prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty who is as famous as Li Gang? Well, if it is him, then he is quite worthy.
A good choice.
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "This man is far-sighted and able to distinguish right from wrong. Moreover, the breeder specifically mentioned that Zhao Ding also gave him a lot of useful advice on military matters. He is a very good candidate. I think so too.
Therefore, I want to divide Tubo into two prefectures, Yuxi Prefecture and Dongnu Prefecture, and establish a prefecture to use the Anxi Protectorate of the previous dynasty to govern the two prefectures, and send Zhao Ding to Tubo to serve as the prefect of the Anxi Protectorate."
Li Qi nodded and said: "This is very good. If we only build one government, it will inevitably cause troubles in the future. Divide them and manage them so that they can restrain each other. This can also reduce a lot of pressure on the court. Build another government and manage it.
It can provide a lot of convenience.”
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "I think so too. I have discussed it with Qin Hui and he said he has no objection. If you think it is feasible, then the matter will be settled."
Li Qidao: "Wei Chen has no objection."
Zhao Kai said: "Well, after the new year, I will arrange for Zhao Ding to come to Beijing immediately. You can meet with him first and tell him your plateau warehouse plan."
Li Qi nodded and said, "Yes, Wei Chen knows."
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Okay, this leisurely New Year is really valuable for you, I will give you a long vacation, stay at home with your wife and children, and have a good New Year."
Li Qi was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty."
"I have heard these four words from you many times, but why do I think you are the most sincere this time?"
