?As for it being so extreme, it is well deserved to have a ridiculous reputation after death!

Han relative did a good job in dealing with King Yue and Qin Hui, which is admirable! It was just that he was too eager for quick success, which led to the subsequent tragic disaster, which is regrettable!" Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but sigh, and quoted

This reflects the ancients’ evaluation of Qin Hui.

"By the way, young master, I heard something. I'm afraid you will be furious if you tell me about it! I heard in the city two days ago that the right minister Shi Miyuan, who is currently the most popular person in the court, is the Privy Councilor.

, he is actually trying to think of ways to clear up Qin Hui's name, and trying to bring him out again. I'm really angry! Damn, if I let the young man see this guy, I'm going to punch him over and beat him to the bone.

Broken bones cannot be broken! It is obvious that everyone in the world has treated Mr. Qin Hui to the extreme, but this guy still wants to do this, doesn't it make everyone in the world feel chilled?" Jia Qi suddenly said.

When Gao Huaiyuan and others heard this, they were so angry that they started to curse. Of course Gao Huaiyuan knew who Shi Miyuan was. This guy was a powerful figure in the court now. Among the traitor officials of the Southern Song Dynasty, although there was no such thing in the traitor record,

This guy, but this guy actually caused the most serious damage to the Southern Song Dynasty when he was in power. It can be said that he had to bear a very important responsibility for the final destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty.

And he had heard from his father Gao Jian before that Shi Miyuan was also a smart man. He often did not come out to directly harm others, but he always controlled the way of speech in the court. He was considered a super evil person. This guy was Qin Hui.

I am afraid that the reason for overturning the case is not because he sympathizes with or likes Qin Hui, but because there is a deeper level.

There are many people in later generations who want to overturn the case of Qin Hui like this. Even in the 21st century when he lived in his previous life, there are still a group of unscrupulous so-called historians who are still trying to overturn the case of Qin Hui, a big traitor. Now there are

A Shi Miyuan is not surprising.

Gao Huaiyuan held a feather arrow, and with a strong hand, he broke the hardwood feather arrow into two pieces, and secretly cursed "a dog thief!" But there was nothing he could do about being angry. After all, Shi Miyuan was now

The powerful minister of the Southern Song Dynasty who ruled the world with one hand, he is now a small ninth-grade Baoyi Lang with no official title. What can be done to him?

"Everyone, shut up! Remember that trouble comes from the mouth. Now Shi Miyuan is a very popular figure in our Song Dynasty, with great power. It's okay for you to say these things among us, but you must not talk about them in front of outsiders.

You can't criticize this guy, otherwise, if you meet someone with ulterior motives and report it to the government, I'm afraid our Wohu Village will be wiped out by the government and the army!

Don't forget what I said. We can never afford to offend that kind of person now. It would be unwise to cause death if we just talk about it for a short time. We should do what we should do.

"Okay, it's better to say less about things like this that we can't control!" Gao Huaiyuan suddenly became wary, and then he immediately stopped everyone who was yelling at Shi Miyuan and gave them instructions.

Everyone saw that Gao Huaiyuan said it solemnly, so they all stopped and stopped scolding them. Moreover, they thought that what Gao Huaiyuan said was not bad. Although scolding him like this was pleasant, it would not have any effect.

If word gets out, it will only cause trouble for Gao Huaiyuan and cause unnecessary disaster. In that case, I will really feel sorry for Gao Huaiyuan! So everyone nodded and agreed not to mention this matter again.

After bypassing this topic, Gao Huaiyuan brought the topic back to the crossbow and said to everyone: "A warrior is not only powerful in martial arts. As the saying goes, he is skilled in bow and horse. Everyone must improve in this shooting skill."

Hard work, don’t just be busy practicing sword and gun kung fu and neglect your shooting skills!

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, we have lost the land that produces horses, and are surrounded by powerful enemies. Most of these powerful neighbors are cavalry. The infantry has been at a disadvantage against the cavalry in wars of all dynasties, and the only one who can resist them is the Song Dynasty.

There are only crossbows, so the Song army generally attaches great importance to crossbowmen. We can't change this fact, so everyone should also practice archery diligently and go into battle to kill the enemy once used!

Although we have bows now, archery skills require long-term training to reach a certain level, and many of our powerful neighbors are nomads who have been with bows and arrows since they were young. In terms of archery skills alone, we still cannot take advantage of them.

It's cheap, and most people in the Song Dynasty don't know how to shoot arrows, and they are not good at all in casual practice, so the crossbow is the biggest advantage of us people in the Song Dynasty.

It's not enough for us to make bows now. Qin Hu will have to find ways to make some crossbows in the future. We must have these things, and they must be sophisticated!" Gao Huaiyuan continued.

Qin Hu couldn't see through this Gao Huaiyuan. It stands to reason that Gao Huaiyuan is no longer in the army, and he is already a very wealthy man. He shouldn't be so obsessed with the military, but Gao Huaiyuan

It seems that he is deliberately cultivating a group of his own strength, which is a bit strange!

But thinking of this, Qin Hu immediately gave up the idea. Now his fate has been tied to Gao Huaiyuan. No matter what Gao Huaiyuan wants to do, he will follow him to the end. Now he wants to stay in bed.

To gain a foothold in Huzhuang, we need to show some real skills.

So he immediately bowed and said: "Don't worry, young master, I'll leave this matter to you! It's just that the crossbow arm and crossbow body are easy to talk about. I can ask Manager Zhou (Zhou Laowu) and others to help me do it, but the crossbow machine is not easy to handle."

It is a little more troublesome to make. There were not many small crossbows in the past. The crossbow machine had to be made by a special person and it was not easy to obtain. I also asked the young master to arrange it and ask an iron maker to help make the crossbow machine!"

"It's easy to say. The resources in Zhuangzi can be used as long as you need them. Let Zhou Hao work with you to handle this matter! There is no rush now. Let's start with the two stone crossbows and proceed step by step! And we are also in front of the army.

After seeing the power of the bed crossbow, although it is not necessary to do it, it is best to explore it and see if it can be improved to make it lighter and easier to transport! You are responsible for these things. If necessary, I will

I can transfer some manpower to you and set up a crossbow workshop to take charge of this matter!" Gao Huaiyuan nodded and agreed.

"Master, if we talk about crossbows, I like the divine arm crossbows used in the army. Among all the crossbowmen, this kind of divine arm crossbow is the most powerful.

Human life is hard to guard against. Even if we are wearing heavy armor, we can't escape death. If we can also make a divine arm crossbow, it will be great! Let's see whoever dares to mess with us, we will kill him with one arrow.

Life! Humph!" When the crossbow was mentioned, Zhao Tong became interested. When he and Gao Huaiyuan served in the army, he was a crossbowman and was familiar with the performance of various crossbows.

Of course Gao Huaiyuan also knew about the divine arm crossbow, and he also admired the wisdom of Song craftsmen. It was not easy to make such a powerful crossbow with simple materials!

"It's true. If you want to make a crossbow, the divine arm crossbow is the best. This kind of small mechanical crossbow is recorded in "Mengxi Bi Tan" written by Master Shen Kuo Shen, and it is also recorded in "Martial Arts General Essentials" written during the reign of Shenzong.

"It is also mentioned separately in "This crossbow has mulberry arms as arms, sandalwood as the body, hemp as the string, iron as the barrel, and steel as the mechanism. It is light and strong, and has an extremely long range. It was later improved in the hands of Marshal Han Shizhong.

It has a longer range, which is the divine arm crossbow now used in the army. It is really powerful. I just wonder if Brother Qin can also make such a divine arm crossbow. If we can have such a thing, we really have nothing to fear.

Yes!" Jia Qi began to talk about what he learned from the book again, shaking his head and saying to everyone.

Qin Hu shook his head and said: "I also know about the divine arm crossbow. When I fought with the Jin army in the past, the thing I was most afraid of encountering was the divine arm crossbow or bed crossbow among the Song army. I just haven't seen this thing. If there is a real one,

, I can try to see if I can imitate it. The crossbow I can make is just an ordinary wooden crossbow, which is far less powerful than the God Arm Crossbow!"

Gao Huaiyuan thought for a moment, then nodded and assured Qin Hu: "You don't have to worry about this, I will try to get you two or three divine arm crossbows for your reference, leave this matter to me!

"

While everyone was talking, they returned towards Zhuangzi. The hounds followed them excitedly and ran forward and backward. Such hunting was also a relaxing thing for them, so the hounds were also very excited.

As for the bed crossbow, Gao Huaiyuan just mentioned it casually. In his opinion, the development of cold weapons has basically reached its peak at this period. If you want to use physical power for further improvement, there is not much room for development, and the bed

Even though the crossbow is powerful, it has some inherent weaknesses, such as being extremely bulky and inconvenient to transport; it requires too many operators when shooting, loading is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and aiming is even more difficult, etc. These shortcomings are not what he really wants.

s things.

With the technological development of this era, gunpowder will gradually become the dominant player on the battlefield. In the end, what he wants is those powerful firearms, and with the various resources he currently has, it is basically possible to trial-produce such weapons.

, after all, the most primitive artillery has now appeared. In the early Southern Song Dynasty, Ande Chengui understood that the prototype of bamboo muskets and barrel firearms had appeared. Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan was confident that as long as he did it himself, he would be able to make it in a very short time.

Being able to preliminarily trial-produce his own is also the world's first metal artillery. By then, with this, he really won't be afraid of anyone!

Gao Huaiyuan was sorting out information about the application of gunpowder in his mind, calculating when to officially put his plan into action, and at the same time calculating what type of firearms to use gunpowder to make, and what type of firearms to use to effectively stop the terror.

After the Mongolian cavalry attacked, everyone returned to Crouching Tiger Village.

Gao Huaiyuan is still not satisfied with the telescope he currently has in his hands. After all, in his opinion, the glass with decent transparency still cannot reach the purity of optical glass, and the image imaging is not very clear. Also, at the moment, he

The best telescope has a magnification of only about three times, and its effect is still limited. The production process of the lens is not mature enough, and other reasons prevent the telescope from achieving the ideal effect.

However, Gao Huaiyuan did not give up, and decided to find a new way. While continuing to use glass for trial production, he also sent people to the market to purchase natural colorless crystals as substitutes, and used manual grinding of lenses instead of glass, so that the lenses could be well controlled.

For the production, he still has the decorators on hand, so he can’t be allowed to follow the masons to cut stones every day!

In this way, the process will be more complicated, and the cost will increase a lot, but Gao Huaiyuan is not short of money now, so he can still afford this small amount of money. In addition, crystal is not a scarce commodity in the market. China produces crystal.

There are still quite a few, and you can still buy a lot of good-quality colorless transparent crystals. The only pity is that Haizhou (Donghai County, Lianyungang), the famous crystal producing area, seems to be occupied by the Jin Kingdom. Otherwise, send someone there.

Wherever there is some crystal mining, it is also a matter of great wealth.

However, everything is full of surprises, and soon the opportunity came. Just when Gao Huaiyuan was still thinking about this matter, Haizhou returned to the Southern Song Dynasty in the twelfth year of Jiading the following year. This opportunity really came, but

This crystal problem was quickly solved with money, and two craftsmen from Crouching Tiger Village who were proficient in jewelry carving were found work. The two of them began to think about crystal lenses all day long, and tried to find a way to make telescope lenses for Gao Huaiyuan.

.

In addition to being busy with these things, Gao Huaiyuan has also been paying attention to the movements of the Mongols in the north for more than half a year. He even spent a lot of money to collect all the information about the Mongols. After gathering them together, he became more and more worried.

Got up.

The Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Jin Xuanzong, Wan Yanxun, was so full that he had nothing to do. He mobilized all resources in Sichuan and launched a fierce attack on the Southern Song Dynasty along the Xijing Road. He did not even think about going against the Mongols, but Genghis Khan did not

When I was idle, that is, when the Jin army attacked Zaoyang for the second time, they once again invaded the Jin Kingdom in the north. With Mu Huali as the leader, they dispatched tens of thousands of horse infantry and captured the Jin Kingdom's Shanxi Taiyuan like a broken bamboo.

Fenzhou, Jiangzhou, Pingyang (Linfen) and other places almost took away most of Shanxi, but Jin Xuanzong Wan Yanxun didn't even know that he was still entangled with the Southern Song Dynasty.

Along the way, Gao Huaiyuan also inquired about a piece of news. It turned out that in March of the eleventh year of Jiading, Xixia sent envoys to try to negotiate peace with the Jin State.

, after all, after the Xixia Kingdom relied on the Mongols, it fought for many years, and the gains outweighed the losses, which led to the decline of the country's strength. Li Zunxu, the emperor of the Xixia Kingdom, seemed to see that this was not the way to go, so he appointed Su Yinsun, the secretary supervisor who advocated joining the Jin Dynasty to fight against the Mongols, as the privy council. In March, he accepted the decree.

In order to negotiate peace with Jin, he sent a letter to Jin Baoan, Suide, and the guardian of Jiazhou, asking for the restoration of border trade, an end to the bad relations between the two countries, repair of relations between the two countries, cultivation of moral character, and a conspiracy to resist the Mongolian army of Genghis Khan.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Kingdom of Jin! However, unexpectedly, the owner of the fund, Wanyan Xun, the greatest pig-headed emperor in the world, refused without saying a word, and even claimed that he would destroy the Xixia Kingdom. This was a good time.

He gave up the last chance of the Jin Kingdom to survive.

When Li Zunxu, the Shenzong of the Xixia Kingdom, saw the attitude of the gold master Wanyan Xun, come on! Since you didn't agree and still want to continue to have trouble with Xixia, then it's fine. Isn't your Jin Kingdom awesome now? It's against Mongolia in the north.

In the south, you are making trouble for the Southern Song Dynasty. You are probably too busy now, so I will give you another guy!

As a result, after the Xixia Kingdom failed to negotiate a peace, they immediately turned against each other and continued to attack the Jin Kingdom. This was a good time. The Jin Kingdom became the target of public criticism, and there were only three countries around it. He attacked at the same time and it was over! On the way, he also wanted to attack all the lands in Shandong.

The Red Coat Army, the entire Jin Kingdom can be said to be besieged on all sides, and there is almost no place on the outside where there is no fighting! dd
