Song Dynasty's Ignorant Prince

The sixteen states of Yanyun have always been the barrier of the Central Plains against the nomads in the north, but since the late Tanger emperor Shi Jingtang gave up the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Central Plains lost the northern barrier, and many emperors tried to take back the sixteen states of Yanyun and failed. . Because the sixteen states of Yanyun are difficult to defend and difficult to attack, this has also become a dream in the hearts of the emperors of the Central Plains.

Zeng Zhao didn't think that he would be able to take back the sixteen states of Yanyun. The task that Zhao Ji gave him was to take back some of them, preferably all of them. The current conditions are also acceptable.

Zeng Zhao fought for it again, but Yelu Chun's attitude was tenacious, and he would never give in the slightest.

There are seven states of You, Shun, Ji, Zhuo, Tan, Ying and Mo, which are located in the southeast of Taihang Mountain and are called "Seven Prefectures in front of the Mountain". Among them, You is Beijing, Ji is Tianjin Ji County, Ying is Hebei Hejian, Mo is Hebei Renqiu, Zhuo is Hebei Zhuozhou, Tan is Beijing Miyun, Shun is Beijing Shunyi.

The terrain of these places is difficult to defend and difficult to attack, but it is not that the Liao Kingdom returned these places to the Song Dynasty without their intentions, because these 10 places are very close to the Jin soldiers. If the Jin soldiers want to attack the Liao Kingdom, they cannot avoid them. Places, they will worry that these places will copy their way, and they will definitely get rid of them. So if the Song army occupies these places, then they have to fight against the Jin army.

Zeng Zhao also understood this truth, but he was still very happy and said he could accept it.

Then Yelu Chun asked Zeng Zhao to retire first, and of course the courtiers would discuss the details.

When Zeng Zhao came, he came with a blank contract covered with a jade seal. He wrote down what the two parties had agreed upon, in duplicate. As long as the Liao Kingdom was covered with a jade seal, the covenant was established.

On the other hand, Zhao Liangsi also arrived in the Jin Kingdom, and this time he also received a cold reception. Wanyan Sheng put Zhao Liangsi on hold for two days before meeting him.

Zhao Liangsi threw himself on his knees, "General, it's not that the villain is not attentive, it's that His Majesty the Emperor personally asks about the special envoy, the villain can't talk!

"Trash, there is no use for anything, what do I want you to do?" Wanyan Sheng's voice was cold, revealing murderous intent.

Zhao Liangsi begged bitterly, "General, forgive me, I came here with His Majesty's will..."

This means that you can't kill me. If you kill me, you will be slapping Da Song's face.

In fact, Wanyan Sheng was just trying to frighten Zhao Liangsi. He still had some scruples about the Song Dynasty. After all, the Jin Kingdom was fighting against the Liao Kingdom now. If another Song Kingdom was inserted, it would be troublesome.

"Hmph, the Liao Kingdom is not an opponent of our Jin Kingdom, let alone your Song Kingdom, you are simply vulnerable. Could it be that if I kill you, your emperor would dare to fight us?" Wanyan Sheng sneered.

Zhao Liangsi was not sure, if it was the previous emperor, he would definitely not, but now after returning, he found that the emperor has changed a lot, and it is difficult to judge because of his moodiness. Of course, now he will not anger Wanyan Sheng, "The life of the villain is irrelevant. , but the general should pay attention to his reputation, and the two countries will not be able to fight, not to mention that the villain has brought good news!"

"Oh, what good news?"

"The Emperor of Song has decided to use troops against Liao, and now he has dispatched more than 100,000 elite soldiers to attack Liao and take back the sixteen states of Yanyun. Zhao Liangsi raised his head, with a pleasing smile on his face, "This is for your country and It's all good news for our country, the lord of Liao is incompetent, and it's just that we both attacked it together!

"Bring the credentials!" Wanyan Sheng stretched out his hand.

Originally, the credentials should be handed over to the King of the Jin Kingdom, but Zhao Liangsi didn't dare to object to him at all, and immediately took out the credentials and handed it in.

Wanyan Sheng looked at it and immediately became furious, "Why are there so many year-old coins, can Liao be on a par with our big gold, twice as much as Liao, at least 500,000 taels of silver and 500,000 pieces of silk, In addition, there are a thousand beauties..."

"This, this,..." Zhao Liangsi's forehead sweated coldly, and he scolded Wanyan Sheng in his heart. This guy is really a lion, and he is not afraid of dying!

"Well, do you have an opinion?" Wanyan Sheng snorted coldly, Zhao Liangsi, who was oppressed by the powerful aura, was about to die.

Zhao Liangsi trembled a little, "Little man, little man dare not have an opinion, but I'm afraid our Majesty will not agree!

"Hey, he dares not agree! Otherwise, we Jinbing will march south and capture your emperor's concubines and concubines together!" "Wanyan Sheng's words at this time are like bragging, even Zhao Liangsi doesn't believe it now.

Zhao Ji's task for Zhao Liangsi was to try his best to mediate, so he could only mediate. Knowing that the general was not good at speaking, he wanted to see the Emperor Jin as soon as possible.

To say that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom treated Zhao Liangsi quite politely, his attitude was always mild. From his attitude, Zhao Liangsi knew that the Jin Kingdom was still very inclined to unite with the Song Kingdom. But Zhao Liangsi didn't know that Zhao Ji sent him here just to paralyze the Jin Kingdom, secretly Zhao Ji had already sent someone to the Liao Kingdom to form an alliance.

Zhao Liangsi was still discussing details with the people from the Jin Kingdom, and he was arguing about one city and one place. Of course, Zhao Liangsi made concessions more often.

Zhao Ji went to supervise the production of firearms again. At this time, Zhou Yue's face was red, and it seemed that this period of time was going well.

"Report to His Majesty 713, we have already produced 400 red-clothed cannons and 2,000 individual cannons, please review your Majesty!" Zhou Yue is full of confidence, but it has not been a year yet, and he has already overfulfilled the task , that is, the number of red-clothed cannons is slightly less, which is also Zhao Ji's later request.

Zhao Ji saw the miniature version of the individual cannon, which is half a meter long, about the thickness of a fist, and has a very simple structure. There are two iron rods in the front as brackets, which can be placed at an angle of up to 80 degrees, and the sharp tail can be pierced into the soil to be fixed.

"How far is the attack distance of this thing?" Zhao Ji asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, its attack range is relatively close, only about 500 meters, because it uses stones or iron beads, so although the distance is close, it has a wide range of damage and can cover dozens of meters, even wearing armor. People are beaten to the point of breaking their tendons and breaking bones, so powerful!

"Well, not bad, give it a try!" Zhao Ji wanted to see the power for himself.

So Zhou Yue personally demonstrated for Zhao Ji, he placed the individual cannon and adjusted it to a 60-degree angle. In order to demonstrate more realistically, there is a cow 400 meters away. After many experiments, they have learned to adjust the angle and correct the direction. Of course, because there is no precise instrument, it is only a rough estimate and can only rely on human experience to operate.
