The actions of the Song army soon attracted the attention of the Liao army, and the news was quickly spread to the Yongjing military town, Yelu Yanxi was already a little flustered, after all, he was still a teenager, and not long ago the Liao army experienced a big defeat, which made Yelu Yanxi feel very scared, and even wanted to leave here and return to the Liao country for a while.
The responsibility for the defeat of the Liao army naturally has to be borne by someone, of course, it cannot be Yelu Yanxi, this responsibility finally fell to Yelu Yixin who first escaped from the battlefield of the daimyo, and now Yelu Yixin has been transferred back to China by Yelu Hongji, in order to prevent Yelu Renxian from being alone in the Liao army in the south, Yelu Hongji sent Yelu Renxian's old opponent Xiao Yuanshan over, Xiao Yuanshan is one of the few generals, has always been loyal to Yelu Hongji, but has never had the opportunity to lead the army alone.
Yelu Yanxi sat on the handsome chair and said: "This king has received a report that the 300,000 troops of the Song army have gone north, two Aiqing, tell me, what should this king do?"
Xiao Yuanshan said to Yelu Yanxi: "Don't worry, the king of Ruyang has already negotiated with the king of Changshan, with our current strength, it is not a problem at all to block the attack of the 300,000 Song army." ” "If the townsman has any ideas, tell them and listen to them."
Jeruren asked first.
"Leave part of the troops behind, stick to important areas, and the rest of the troops go deep into the rear of the Song army to fight and completely disrupt the deployment of the Song army."
Xiao Yuanshan said; "Although the Song army has achieved a great victory not long ago, but its strength has suffered serious losses, more than half of the 300,000 troops attacking this time are new troops, and the other half are proud soldiers, so there is no need to worry, as long as our army can withstand the first wave of attacks of the Song army, it is not a problem to continue to hold on."
"Okay, at this time, we will do it according to the will of the town's border marquis, and the king of Ruyang has the right to cooperate with the action."
Yelu Yanxi said.
"Yes, Weichen takes the order."
Yeluren took the military order first.
In a small courtyard in the summer palace of Xingqing Mansion, Li Liangzuo invited a group of Taoist priests who knew how to make alchemy to eat, drink, and lasa every day, and claimed to the outside world that Li Liangzuo was refining the elixir of immortality, but in fact, Li Liangzuo was studying gunpowder, and for later generations, the formula of black powder was known to everyone as one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal; But it wasn't so simple to make black powder more powerful.
And Li Liangzuo's previous life was not a background in chemical engineering, so he could only explore a little bit; Xiao Zhuozi walked up to Li Liangzuo and said, "Your Majesty, according to your orders, the nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal have all been ground into powder, and each or two packets have been made into one serving. ” "Very good, go and call those Taoist priests to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty" "You guys have done a good job these days, I'm very happy, and when this thing is done, I'll be rewarded, and I can give you whatever you want."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Go, bring me three packs of what you've grinded."
After a few people brought the things, Li Liangzuo opened each package and observed it carefully, and found that these three things were ground like fine powder; Then Li Liangzuo continued to instruct: "Now take a packet of nitrate, two packets of sulfur, and three packets of charcoal, pour them all together, and then start stirring well, and then bring them to me." ” "Obey" Several people were ordered to pour it into a large iron pot and start stirring according to what Li Liangzuo said, while Li Liangzuo was lying on his back on the ground of a big tree with a smile on his face and drinking tea; The black powder was about to be made Li Liangzuo was of course happy, but just when Li Liangzuo was happy, an explosion sounded in the house not far away, and the entire house was blown up, and at that moment, several guards blocked Li Liangzuo with their bodies, otherwise Li Liangzuo would have hung up.
The sound of the explosion alarmed the entire Xingqing Mansion, and a fire also ignited in the summer palace, Li Liangzuo never thought that there would be such an accident, because of the huge sound, Li Liangzuo was blown up on the spot; After the explosion, a large number of guards, eunuchs, and palace maids came to put out the fire, and Li Liangzuo's harem concubines also rushed over, and the imperial doctor was waiting on the side, and now they were most concerned about Li Liangzuo's situation.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty" "I'm here," Li Liangzuo's voice was very weak.
"Get your majesty out of here."
Didn't hide Feixue said anxiously.
At this time, Li Liangzuo was covered in dust, and his face was black; After Li Liangzuo was set up, he said: "Don't worry, Xiao Zhuozi, is that kid alive or has already hung up." ” "Back to Your Majesty, Grandpa Zhuo seems to be out of breath."
A royal physician said.
Li Liangzuo didn't care about everyone's eyes, walked in front of Xiao Zhuozi and looked at it, and then snatched a bucket of water from a guard and poured it directly on Xiao Zhuozi's body, Xiao Zhuozi coughed twice, and when he woke up, he saw Li Liangzuo immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the slave should die, the slave should die."
Li Liangzuo lifted Xiao Zhuozi up, and said with a serious face: "You really deserve to die, where did you get this group of guys from me, it's really amazing, you can get it in one go, hahahaha" Wuzang Feixue thought that Li Liangzuo had lost his mind and gone crazy again, so he walked up to Li Liangzuo and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, don't scare your concubines." ” "I don't have anything."
Li Liangzuo said with a happy face; "Prepare hot water for me, and I will bathe and change my clothes; Xiao Zhuozi sent people to find the King of Chu, Gao Wei and Li Yue. ” "Yes, the minion commands."
After bathing and changing clothes, the imperial doctor did a full body examination for Li Liangzuo, and only after finding that Li Liangzuo had no problems, did he let Li Liangzuo leave; Because of the explosion of the palace, the entire Xingqing Mansion was in chaos, which made people panic, and the entire Xingqing Mansion was full of gossip and everything, and the explosion also caused a lot of losses to the palace, and more than a dozen courtyards were burned down.
In the imperial study, Li Xiaoren, Gao Wei and Li Yue were already waiting; After Li Liangzuo saw the three of them, he looked at the three of them with a smile and said: "Okay, don't hold it, you should have guessed everything, this gunpowder has indeed been made, and the power is not bad, but there should be room for improvement." ” "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty" Li Xiaoren said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, since the Song army used gunpowder to defeat the Liao army in the Daimyo's mansion, the Song court has attached great importance to gunpowder, and has established a firearms research and technology bureau to manufacture and research new firearms; Wei Chen thought that my Great Xia Empire should also set up a similar department. ” "Your Majesty, the power of gunpowder is amazing, and it really should be taken seriously," Gao Wei said.
Li Liangzuo said to the three of them: "In the future, this firearm is indispensable, and the development of firearms is also necessary, I came to you today to tell you this, but it is not easy to make gunpowder, especially mass production, this raw material is a problem, the most important thing is nitrate ore and sulfur; Gao Wei's matter will be handed over to you and the Military Affairs Yuan Office will be led by you, no matter what method you use, the more these two things, the better. ” "Yes, Weichen takes the order."
"Brother Huang, you are responsible for finding a sparsely populated, confidential, and open place in the northwest area of Xingqing Mansion to build a small city with a radius of five miles for me, and a group of craftsmen from Jincheng will be of great use in the future."
"Yes, Weichen takes the order."
"Yue'er, you're in charge of the security."
"Yes, the retainer is commanded."
