Chapter 597: The Power of Science (1)

Zheng Lang did not care about the feelings of others and said, "If the generals and soldiers do not know about the feelings of others, it is a major disadvantage."

This was also a major drawback of the Song Dynasty's military, but it was very implicated. Zheng Lang did not say much and continued: "At this time, three important generals outside the city of Beizhou, Wang Xinchen had a little contact, and Wang Kai and Hao Zhichen didn't know much. Therefore, I asked Your Majesty to allow Zhang Kang to Beizhou, Rongchen would be able to mobilize him at a cheap price and eliminate the rebels as soon as possible."

Everyone looked at each other again.

The reason why Zhang Kang was demoted to Shouzhou was entirely due to Xia Shu's advice.

Once, as Zheng Lang said, you can seize Beizhou City within ten days. Zheng Lang will definitely use Zhang Kang to reuse him, and Zhang Kang can be promoted due to his merits. Zheng Lang recommends Xia Qian and gives Xia Qian a chance and Zhang Kang another chance. Is it considered an exchange?

Zhao Zhen was happy.

Zhang Kang was in Shouzhou, and the conflicts with some local tyrants intensified, causing many disputes. Zhao Zhen knew very well that the tyrants in Shouzhou might not be so bold, and there were many reasons in the middle. He was just afraid that Zheng Lang was in the Western Prefecture. Although the conflicts in the West were intensified, there was no serious conflict. Even if Zheng Lang didn't say it, Zhao Zhen also wanted to transfer Zhang Kang to another place. After the joy was over, he said, "Accurate. I ordered Zheng Lang to be the governor of the Hebei Xuanfu."

The word "Statement" is not only the right to fight against the king, but also the right to deal with aftermath.

Zhao Zhi also said: "A small military academy actually uses the Prime Minister and Privy Councilor to be recorded in history."

It is definitely not a kind word, but anger.

Then, Xia Shun was appointed as the Privy Councilor. The dispute between the East Mansion, which lasted for more than half a year, finally ended and then scattered the court. There was no other worry. Zheng Lang could not wipe it out again, and the king really became Maitreya Buddha. He left Zheng Lang and Xia Shun to discuss matters.

Looking at Zheng Lang, Zhao Zhen said, "Zheng Qing, you don't have to learn from Xiao He."

Zheng Lang couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Majesty, as a minister, you should have some concerns. This is the duty of being a minister. But I admire Your Majesty very much and will never learn from Xiao He to avoid suspicion. If you are a minister, you must do this. Is there a magnanimous and virtuous king in this world? But my minister's selfishness is not for Zhang Kang. It is also for the country. Generals such as Wang Kai and Wang Xin are old and are sick. In the battle in the northwest, they used the blood of more than 100,000 troops and horses to make several famous generals piled up. I recommend Zhang Kang, which is also to make the country pass through this kind of green and yellow. Moreover, if the country wants to be safe in the future, it must be in addition to Han Qi in the northwest. Xixia also has famous generals. Xixia is afraid and dare not dare to move. This is the best strategy for defeating others without fighting. However, Zhang Kang is wrong, and there are no criticism. If he does not make meritorious contributions, the ministers who are promoted will not accept it. Therefore, I recommend Zhang Kang."

Zhao Zhen asked, "What else do you need to go to Beizhou?"

"There are no other things. If you need them, I asked Shi Heng to prepare some small gifts. It has been tested successfully. I will surprise Wang Ze at that time."

In history, Wen Yanbo went to fight against the thief. With Hao as his deputy, Xia Shu hated Hao, fearing that he would succeed, and he would be discouraged by all the requests from Hao. Wen Yanbo was also afraid. Before leaving, he said that he would respond to the enemy at the moment, and change in changes. If he reported to the court and asked the court to discuss it correctly, he would be too late to allow him to do things at a disadvantage. But Wen Yanbo was not Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and Zheng Lang. He was very careful and asked the supervisor Bo Ju Zhenqing and other three to take charge of his writing and testify. Ming Hao also reported that Wang Qi, the chief minister of the palace, still listened to the army, so as to play a role in a supervisor, so as to avoid quarrels and disputes. It is not necessary for Zheng Lang. I just gave Xia Shu a huge favor, at least in the past few months, would he be embarrassed to do anything?

Besides, the most favored minister of the dynasty may be the most capable minister. The Prime Minister of the Western Prefecture needs to avoid suspicion? That is not to avoid suspicion, but to commit fraud. As Zhao Zhen said, learning from Xiao He himself was dirty. So he didn't say anything.

Zhao Zhen did not ask Zheng Lang, but deliberately said it to Xia Sheng.

Zheng Lang said that the ten-day period is very short, and if Xia Shu is restrained in Xifu, it will cause some difficulties.

Afraid that Xia Shu was misunderstood by his own meaning, he deliberately left Xia Shu and Zheng Lang and sent a signal to Xia Shu. You are allowed to fight, but you cannot fight for the country.

...

The arrival of spring, and the green wheat in the wild in Beizhou indicates a good harvest.

But the constant fighting, shouting, drums and horns have infinitely diluted the joy of spring.

Zheng Lang came to the city of Beizhou, and the two sides were fighting. With Zheng Lang's arrival, the three armies cheered up and took advantage of the benefits of the earth and mountains to launch repeated attacks on the top of the city. When more rebels in the city took off their breath and shouted that Zheng Desheng was defeated. Zheng Lang was really here. He still had a high prestige in the hearts of the people of Beizhou City, and they were all afraid.

A few stubborn believers continued to resist heroically, and most believers lacked confidence.

Under the leadership of Wang Xin and Ming Hao, Zheng Lang came to Tushan and saw Zheng Lang personally supervising the battle, and the attack became even more fierce. Zheng Lang said: "Order to stop the attack."

The guards blew the retreat horn.

Hao Zhi wiped the blood from his face, stepped down from the city, retreated back to the front, bowed first, and then asked breathlessly: "Grandpa Zheng, why stop the attack?"

I was a little dissatisfied. With a moment of anger just now, I almost took Beizhou.

"General Hao, it is not difficult to forcibly attack Beizhou City, but invading the city, there is no way to avoid street fighting. It is difficult for the people in the city to distinguish between the believers of the demon sect. Even the believers, most of them are kind-hearted, but they don't know the true Buddhism, and they are bewitched by the king. These people are actually not considered dead. Even if they are punished according to the law, how many soldiers will have to sacrifice?"

"Jianggong Jia has persuaded him, but they don't listen."

At the end of last year, seeing that it could not be captured, Jia Changchao and Gao Jilong discussed a solution to use high-ranking officials and generous salaries to recruit surrender. This was the case when Wang Xin and Wang Kai opposed it.

There may be some believers outside the city, but they did not rebel and were killed. The believers in the city openly rebelled and were appointed as generals and prime ministers, but they treated them with high officials and were improper. Even though Zhang Hai forced Zheng Lang to surrender at that time, Zhang Hai did not grant the title of prime minister and established the country name. Even after surrender, he was only an ordinary soldier. Later, he was gradually moved to an official school for his merits, and he was just a small capital. He went on a mission to Khitan and made great contributions, but now he is just an instructor. It is wrong for Jia Changchao and Gao Jilong to do this.

Zheng Lang didn't say much at the time.

Therefore, Jia Changchao sent an instructor Ma Sui to the city to sue.

The king asked him to drink tea casually, but the horse was not afraid. After drinking tea, he told him to bring good fortune and good fortune. The king refused to answer and met with him in high clothing. The horse knew that he would not surrender, and the former governor Zhang Deyi sat on his side. When Beizhou was lost, he resisted in the military camp and was captured. Zhang Deyi was the son of Zhang Qi. The whole family was deeply grateful to the emperor. He saw Wang Ze sitting opposite him, and there was no military force on his left and right, and wanted to kill Wang Ze and establish a great achievement. He was afraid that he would be weak, so he winked at Zhang De.

But he was very disappointed. Zhang Deyi saw his eyes, but he sat there. Ma Sui had no choice but to rise up and threw the teacup on Wang Ze's face, which made the face bleeding. Then he stretched out his hand and pinched Wang Ze's throat. When he met Wang Ze's weapon, he had to use his hands to try to strangle Wang Ze to death.

The left and right were in a mess, rushing up, trying to pull the horse away, but couldn't pull it, and shouted together. However, this pulling had some effect, and his hands were loose and tight for a while. This caused Wang Ze to breathe for a while, and then breathe for another time, and he was not dead.

After dragging it for a while, the rebel party came over and cut off Ma Sui's arm with a knife, which allowed Wang Ze to escape from danger. Ma Sui still scolded: "The demon thief, I wish I could kill you Wan Duan."

Zheng Lang’s most regrettable thing about Beizhou was that the two of them were, the former Dong Yuanheng and the latter Ma Sui, who continued the blood and energy of the Han people in their bodies.

The rebels rushed forward, took it down, and dismembered it alive. Didn’t it mean to kill Ru Wan Duan, first kill you into Wan Duan, put your meat sauce on the top of the city, and intimidate the Song Dynasty officers and soldiers. But Wang Ze was suddenly attacked by Ma Sui, beaten and injured, and recovered from his illness for several days. This had an effect. It turned out that Maitreya Buddha would also be attacked, or was attacked in his own base camp and seriously injured. More people doubted the golden body of Wang Ze Maitreya Buddha.

A great living person entered the city, with an edict and a magnanimity of the court, and turned into a pile of meat sauce. Jia Changchao and Gao Jilong were hesitant and dared not report it, but since then, they never dared to ask for surrender again.

Zheng Lang sneered and said, "How could I learn from Jia Changchao and try to persuade him to surrender!"

Gao Jilong's old face turned red by the side.

Zheng Lang couldn't make things difficult for him, so he didn't say anything else, and looked at everyone and said, "Brother Huaji, Brother Gongshou, Brother Gongliang, Brother Shengzhi, Brother Jingchun, Brother Jilong, follow me to discuss matters."

Several people walked into the tent.

Zheng Lang glanced at him and said that Hao Zhi was originally a close confidant of Jia Changchao, so he got very close to Gao Jilong. Wang Xin had a quiet relationship with Wang Kai, but when Zhang Kang had a conflict with Xu Huaide in Yanzhou, Wang Xin stood faintly on Xu Huaide's side, and his ministers refused to tolerate him, which led to Zhang Kang being forced to go to Fuzhou alone. Therefore, Zhang Kang and Wang Xin were not catching a cold, but when they were on Fulin Road, they cooperated with Wang Kai happily and got very close.

Six people and five hearts.

He coughed: "The enemy is in front of you, you must let go of the old past in your hearts and unite to win."

Their faces were all red.

"In fact, it is not difficult to destroy the thief, but first, it is necessary to take away its energy and reduce unnecessary casualties. Second, it is necessary to destroy its city. Beizhou City is easy to destroy it, while Lingzhou City is difficult to destroy it."

"Lingzhou?" the five people asked in surprise.

"Although Beizhou City is tall, Lingzhou City, as the most important southern gate of Xingqing Prefecture in Xixia, is taller and stronger than Beizhou City. Therefore, I defeated Yuan Hao twice, and almost came to Lingzhou City and did not launch an attack. General Wang Xin has also been to Lingzhou, so he should know it."

Wang Xin nodded.

"So you should take Beizhou City as a preview."

"How to break it?" Wang Xin asked curiously.

"gunpowder."

The reason why Zheng Lang said this was actually that he had been thinking about how to crack Lingzhou. When he was in the Khitan, he suddenly thought of something, Hong Xiuquan. If he could not beautify Hong Xiuquan, he forced the men and women to separate in Nanjing. All the couples lived in two years, and the military and civilians were not allowed to own private property, turning a prosperous Nanjing city into a tomb. But he himself built a large number of licentious and comfortable nests. In fact, Hong Xiuquan's uprising was similar to Li Zicheng, and he used a nice slogan, but in essence it was to change the dynasty.

If he hadn't done anything wrong, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would have replaced the Qing Dynasty with the last fall of the late Qing Dynasty. On the one hand, he enjoyed a lot, fought against several kings, and on the other hand, he killed innocent people. All the Qing officials, Manchu people, intellectuals, monks, nuns, Taoists, and merchants were beheaded, regardless of gender, age and young. Many people could not bear the humiliation and were killed, and their families committed suicide. The entire Nanjing city was bloody. On the other hand, he fought a tug-of-war with the Qing government, causing the most prosperous middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to become ruins. China's population decreased by 40%, and more than 100 million people died directly or indirectly in this war.

He didn't have a good impression of Hong Xiuquan and Zheng Lang, but the methods he used to invade Nanjing City could make him learn from it.

Give Shi Heng two tasks, which are one of them.

"Gunpowder?" Gao Jilong asked in surprise. Both sides also used catapults to bombard each other these days. At the end, they had experience. When they saw the gunpowder packs coming, they lay down one by one, shrank their heads into the armor, and their lethality became lower and lower.

How much gunpowder does it take to knock down Beizhou City?

Besides, the enemy is not a fool, and it is impossible for the Song army to calmly pile up gunpowder under the city wall.

"Because you don't understand, Beizhou City will be destroyed. Before that, we used hot air balloons to shock the traitors. Now we are discussing how everyone will act after the city is destroyed."

After a long discussion, several people dispersed in suspicion.

Then he stopped and stopped attacking and started making balloons. The reason why Minghao failed to use hot air balloons was because Minghao didn't understand. The load capacity was large and it was not high, so he was shot by the bed crossbow. This was not an ordinary crossbow. In order to break the balloon, Wang did not use a shovel-shaped crossbow, but used a hammer-shaped crossbow (the bed crossbow arrow is different from the Chang crossbow. The crossbow rod is like the thickness of the gun bar, and the crossbow head is divided into hammer-shaped and shovel-shaped. During the Battle of Chanyuan, Xiao Talin only let the bed crossbow brush over the helmet, which caused serious injuries and death. If it was in the middle, the bed crossbow would be cut in half or directly hit the head).

But even if it hits, the balloon is made of thin skin, not rubber products, and it immediately deflated and explodes. However, because Minghao doesn't understand, in order to attack the enemy, the dragon blue loads a large amount of gunpowder bags, and the load is too heavy. With the two huge black holes, the heat will quickly flow out. Before the rope can be retracted, the dragon blue quickly fell to the ground, and the soldiers inside are shocked to death.

This balloon was made by Zheng Lang, so the rebels shouted to defeat Zheng Desheng.

So Zheng Lang still used balloons to seize his strength and let these people see the power of real science.

He brought nearly 20,000 cowhide and sheepskins, and a cart of animal skins were lifted. Several of the main generals were stunned. Minghao asked, "Xingzhi, how many balloons are you planning to make?"

"one."

"one?"

Zheng Lang focused his head, and at this moment, he thought of the air battle in "Three Musketeers". That was impossible. Not to mention the complete control of driving with the rudder, it could not be achieved on the balloon, especially when facing the wind. It could be realized. The wooden boat hanging below may weigh dozens of tons. Looking at the volume of the air boat above, even the light and heavy hydrogen cannot carry a large weight to air. But this idea can be learned from.

Thousands of people were fighting for work, and the outside of Beizhou City was quiet for the past two days. Wang Ze came to the city strangely to observe. He saw balloons making behind the military camp. He laughed wildly and said to his subordinates: "Prepare the bed crossbow."

"Here." The subordinate was about to leave. Wang Ze said again: "I will improve the crossbow and change it to a rocket so that its balloons will burn."

War can force people to make progress, and Wang Ze is also a small progress.

On the third day, the balloon gradually took shape.

Although they were prepared, when the balloons rose, all the rebels in Beizhou City saw it, they were silent. (To be continued.
