Li Yueji had to go to Zide Hall every now and then, and she had to say hello to the two queens in etiquette, and there would be some distribution of money, because she was in charge of a palace affairs in name.
When I saw the queen come out, it was already noon. The sun was covered with spots of sunlight under the dense shade of summer.The sunshine in the bright sun did not make Li Yueji feel bright, she just felt confused.
I happened to meet the eunuch Wang Zhong.This eunuch was a great eunuch from the Eunuch Province. Li Yueji remembered that the palace wife said that the eunuch from the Eunuch Province knew a lot, so she called Wang Zhong.
The eunuch was clever, so he stood up and bent down and smiled: Empress Xian, what instructions do you have to do to me?
Li Yueji looked around and looked at the scene of people coming and going from place to place, and she was not familiar with this eunuch. After pondering for a moment, he asked: What are the officials busy with these days?
Wang Zhong smiled and said without a smile: Concubine Xian, the official family went to the Jiafang to patrol the firearm. I heard that the people below have made new cannons!
Li Yueji asked: Is it very awesome?
Wang Zhong said seriously: Of course it is amazing. I heard that if you shoot, the military camps a mile or a little beyond will be wiped out!
When Li Yueji heard that the emperor was busy with military affairs, she became more and more worried. She wanted to ask Wang Zhong whether the court wanted to use military forces against Xiazhou. However, as her imperial concubine, it would be okay to ask the emperor what he was busy with. It would be inappropriate to ask about military and national affairs.
...The bank of the Bianshui River is abundant at this time, and the Zaojiafang, which is like a few cities, is noisy and the sky is filled with black smoke.
The city of Jiafang was originally intended to forge armor, but a complete smelting workshop was built here, and firearms were also manufactured here.
The casting of bronze cannons is not complicated. The craftsmanship can cast bells, but no one thought of making them like this before.
The new bronze cannon was tested in a sorting test method, and the size was finally determined.The gun body is about five feet long and the single gun barrel weighs about one thousand kilograms. It mainly fires iron bullets weighing ten kilograms, named as the Tiger Xiaotian font.
This bronze cannon weighs more than twice the weight of the previous iron-cast Dragon Owl cannon, but can only fire ten kilograms of shells; while the iron cannon weighs hundreds of kilograms, but can produce hundreds of kilograms of shells.
The difference is that the iron cannon is a large-mouthed mortar cannon, which can only be shot up like a stone throwing cart, and it is the weight of the stone bullet falling down to smash the wall; while the bronze cannon can fire flat!
Guo Shao stood behind the female wall, covering his eyebrows with his palms, blocking the sunshine on his head, and looking into the distance with concentration.
Suddenly, a cannon sounded and a flash of fire in the white smoke.
In a short while, a black shell was flying across the ground. The angle of the shell was very small, and it immediately bounced up on the ground and continued to fly forward. It jumped far away before falling to the ground and rolling on it.
The further you are, the worse your accuracy is.Zan Ju Run said, it is probably not easy to hit a target.However, if there were crowds in front, this shot would definitely hit a group of people!
Guo Shao looked a little excited and said: This is not a weapon used to attack the city and smash it into a pit. It doesn’t matter if the accuracy is not good, what you need is deterrence.In the future, even if the enemy gathers in an array a mile or acreage, it will be within our range!
Zan Jurun took out another drawing and said, "The official said, use two wheels as the cannon stands. We tried it, but it didn't work for a while. If it was too heavy, the cannon would be disintegrated and deviated.However, the military weapon surveillance remade a pair of things.Please see, the official, this is a cannon cart, which can be pulled by a horse; when transporting, the cannon body and the cannon stand are placed on it.When firing the cannon, eight people lifted the cannon down and placed it on the cannon stand, and fixed it with the cannon tail iron stand, so that it can be placed.
Guo Shao said: Do you want eight people to carry it?
Zan Jurun said: It weighs one thousand pounds, and it is not enough to lose eight people.The folk way to carry coffins was easily lifted and left.
Guo Shao: ...
Although this cannon is stupid and heavy, there is no way. What Guo Shao wants is a flat-fire bouncing. The initial velocity of the shell should be high, otherwise the angle is too small and the initial velocity is too low, and it will land as soon as it is out of the bore.
In this way, the pressure of the gunpowder detonating in the chamber will be high, and the bronze gun wall should be thick, otherwise the chamber will be exploded. More than 30 people will be killed or injured during the test of the artillery, but the casting will be too thin and exploded!
However, because of the high pressure, you can now shoot a scoop nearby.The iron cannon had tried gravel shotguns before, but it was useless because the hole of the mortar cannon was too large and the pressure of the loading shotgun chamber was too small.
The military system is based on weapons and tactics. The conventional army has more than 20 people and more than 30 people in a team of match-rail troops, which are not suitable for artillery troops.
The artillery and horses were equipped with fifteen people, equipped with a cannon cart, fifteen combs, as well as horses and weapons. In order to reduce the need to equip armor, there were only helmets.
Because there are at least eight people who carry the cannon, and you also need to take care of the horses for miscellaneous work, install a cannon mount and other living people when carrying the cannon, as well as reserve personnel after death and injury.
The artillery army had eight cannons in one capital, with 120 people.
One commander of five capitals and six hundred people.
Guo Shao saw the combat power of the artillery with his own eyes, and felt relieved. He returned to Jinxiang Palace and started to deploy recent military and political ideas.
He first summoned Wang Pu and Wei Renpu, the important officials of the military and national affairs, and then summoned Zan Jurun, Lu Duoxun and others one after another, preparing to formulate a complete set of external strategies.
After hearing Guo Shao's intention, Lu Duoxun said: When I was on the mission to Xiazhou, I saw Khitans traveling in Xiazhou. The court could use this as an excuse and ordered the Xiazhou Jiedushi Li Yiyin to hand over the enemy's envoy and escort Tokyo to punish him.
Guo Shao said: This battle was a while, very good.
...After a whole day, Guo Shao returned to Wansui Hall at the Youth hour. He did not sleep in the main hall and cleaned up a house in a corner of Wansui Hall.
As soon as he entered the Wansui Palace, he heard Wang Zhong report: Concubine Li Xian is waiting, wanting to see Your Majesty.
After hearing this, Guo Shao said: Please come in.
Usually in the palace, the emperor took the initiative to summon him if he was serving the bed, and the concubines asked for a meeting, so what should be wrong.There are only five queens and concubines (usually four), and they are still very important people.
Wang Zhong did not leave, but instead stepped forward and whispered: Today, Concubine Li Xian asked the official family what they were doing. I tried it and saw that she looked panicked. I was afraid that he had heard that His Majesty wanted to use military force against Dangxiang.
Oh... Guo Shao suddenly responded.
Guo Shao sat down and waited in the living room.
Soon, she saw Concubine Li Xian coming in. She was not wearing Dangxiangren's clothes, but she was wearing a regular dress with her hair combed into a horse's hair.
Li Yueji has black hair and dark eyes, and her face is not much different from that of the Han people. She is also beautiful, with white skin and a concave and convex figure. She can wear a half-arm streamer on the skirt, but it still doesn't taste that way, it's a bit weird.
Guo Shao remained calm and had a blood mark on her nails last time. When he thought of Guo Shao, he still felt his skin was hot.
But Li Yueji made a happy blessing and paid homage to Your Majesty.
No need to be too polite, just sit down.Guo Shao said.
Li Yueji said softly: Thank you Your Majesty for giving me a seat.
Guo Shao rubbed his forehead: Why do you think something is wrong?
Li Yueji said: Isn’t your majesty’s women always respect your majesty like this?
Guo Shao nodded.
After a brief silence, there was a little cold after the greetings.
The main reason is that Guo Shao has a negative attitude and does not take the initiative to find topics.
This woman has no feelings for him, a foreigner, and doesn't like to stay in a foreign land. Otherwise, she would have already become famous at the beginning, so how could she try her best not to let Guo Shao touch it?
At this time, Li Yueji's face was bright and she finally spoke, with a sense of humiliation. When she was in Lingzhou, I ran away privately and was almost harmed by a wolf... I have always wanted to ask one thing, is the person who saved me that day by archery, His Majesty?
Guo Shao recalled for a moment and nodded: That's right.
Li Yueji whispered: Thank you for your help.
No need to do this, just a simple task, just a chance to meet.Guo Shao said, I don’t want you to be bitten by a wolf.
Li Yueji was silent for a while and said: It’s all my fault that I didn’t know what to do, and I even hurt Your Majesty. Your Majesty is tolerant of me...
Guo Shao said: But I still have this little thought.
Your Majesty... Li Yueji looked at him a little embarrassedly.
In fact, Guo Shao already understood what she meant. He was dissatisfied with the marriage before, but now he was forced to be helpless, fearing that the relationship between the court and Xiazhou would be tense, which would cause disaster for her and her family.
She had no choice, even if Guo Shao was a pig, she had to please him.And Guo Shao doesn't seem to be so annoying.
Guo Shao sighed slightly.
But when he looked back, Li Yueji was actually very innocent.
Even all the Dangxiang people cannot be said to be bad people... In their own opinion, it is not wrong to break free from the control of the Central Plains dynasty and expand their territory for their own people; it is just that their disparity and ambition are not conducive to the great dynasty. It is just that there is a threat to the border, which is a pressure on any dynasty and an increase in military defense expenditure.
Li Yueji is just a woman who was sent to a foreign land thousands of miles away to marry. It is already unfortunate.It seems understandable that this is what it is for survival now.
After Guo Shao thought about it, he called out with a gentle voice: Concubine Xian...
Um?Li Yueji raised her head and looked at him with some expectation.
Guo Shao comforted: Concubine Xian is just a woman. Don’t take everything to yourself. Who can bear that heavy responsibility?Since you are my concubine, don't worry too much.
Li Yueji was slightly moved after hearing this: Your Majesty treats people very well, why didn’t I figure it out before?
Guo Shao thought to himself, I am good to everyone around me.
The saint said it well, wherever there is oppression, there is resistance.
These people stay in my harem and often get close to me. How can you resist and make yourself feel uncomfortable?
He suddenly found that her neck was red, her hands were tense, and she silently grabbed her clothes.
Her voice seemed to be about to cry, and she said in a humiliation: Your Majesty, since I am your woman, I have been in the palace for so long, Your Majesty... Your Majesty wants me!
Guo Shao stood there and sighed: Virtuous Concubine, there is really no need to be like this.
Li Yueji's expression was complicated, she was still a little angry, and she was almost crying: I'm here, but others don't want it...
When I saw the queen come out, it was already noon. The sun was covered with spots of sunlight under the dense shade of summer.The sunshine in the bright sun did not make Li Yueji feel bright, she just felt confused.
I happened to meet the eunuch Wang Zhong.This eunuch was a great eunuch from the Eunuch Province. Li Yueji remembered that the palace wife said that the eunuch from the Eunuch Province knew a lot, so she called Wang Zhong.
