1312. Promote the army to ask for guilt

Zhongsun Qifu's hand trembled and left even further.

He handed the battle report to He Liandong with a gray face and said, "The rebels...the rebels also have grenade launchers..."

All the ministers in the hall changed color.

Then soon there was a discussion.

The words "Song Kingdom" frequently appear in their discussions.

Nowadays, everyone thinks that only the Song Dynasty has grenade launchers and other firearms. People like them will also think that the firearms in the Xia Dynasty came from the Song Dynasty.

If that's true, the intention of Song State is worth pondering.

Until the soldiers who had reported to him left for a long time, there was no sign of silence in the central government's yamen.

But in the end, I still couldn't draw a conclusion.

Finally, Zhongsun Qifu said: "This matter is of great importance. The emperor is already on his way back to the imperial city. Let's wait for the emperor to come back to decide!"

No one objected.

Borrowing arms from the State of Song was facilitated by the emperor. Now grenade launchers have appeared in Daxia, so the emperor should be the most likely to figure out the intentions of the State of Song.

After a few days, Zhongsun Qifu and others were afraid that they would not be able to have a good sleep. Every day when they arrived at the central government office, they often had two thick dark circles of eyes.

Daxia has firearms, and this is no longer whether they can easily destroy Daxia. Instead, no one is sure of who will win and who will lose in the West Xia in the future.

Not to mention that the private soldiers of the four major military departments are not weak, even if they are weak, they are definitely incomparable after possessing firearms such as grenade launchers.

With the desire to see Zhongsun Qifu and others, Li Xiushu finally returned to Zhongxing Mansion.

After entering the city, she took Chen Yidao and others to the palace.

Then, the palace was filled with chaos.

When Zhongsun Qifu and others learned that she had returned to the palace, they stopped Li Xiushu halfway before she could return to her bedroom to change her clothes.

More than ten old ministers of the Western Xia humeral bones, including Zhongsun Qifu, He Liandong, etc., are all listed.

Just as he bowed, Zhongsun Qifu said, "Your Majesty, it's a disaster..."

Li Xiushu was a little confused.

She hurried back to Zhongxing Mansion from the Song Dynasty, but she really didn't know that Heliancheng and Zhongsun Qifu were frustrated at Hengshan Ferry and had withdrawn their troops.

Seeing Zhongsun Qifu, He Liandong and others all had the sky falling, Li Xiushu couldn't help but frown and asked, "What happened? The Grand Master is so anxious?"

Zhongsun Qifu took out the battle report a few days ago from his sleeves and handed it to Li Xiushu, "Please check it out."

Li Xiushu took it with her eyebrows and just looked at it, but she also changed color slightly.

But soon, her face calmed down again. She waved her hand and said, "Follow me to the imperial study."

Everyone followed her straight towards the Imperial Study Room.

No one spoke on the way.

When he arrived in the imperial study room, Li Xiushu sat on the bed and asked, "Is this matter written in the war report true?"

Zhongsun Qifu replied: "This battle report was written by Heliancheng himself, and it is true."

Li Xiushu frowned deeply again.

The imperial study room was silent again.

After a while, Zhongsun Qifu saw that Li Xiushu still had no sign of speaking, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, do you say... is this Song State..."

"impossible!"

Li Xiushu reached out to stop him and continued, saying, "With my understanding of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, he is definitely not such a person. Apart from him, no one in the Song Dynasty dared to have the courage to provide firearms to those rebels."

"Yes... but in the world, only Song State can create grenade launchers..." Zhongsun Qifu said again.

Li Xiushu was silent again, and after a while, he said: "I heard that when the Dali army broke through Chongqing Prefecture, it also plundered many firearms from the Song Dynasty from Chongqing Prefecture. Although Dali was later destroyed, could it be... the arms flowed into the hands of those rebels?"

Zhongsun Qifu shook his head, "According to the front line, there are quite a few firearms owned by the Hengshandu rebels. I'm afraid... I think it's impossible for the arms of Dali State to be the first."

Li Xiushu sighed softly in her heart.

Actually, she doesn't know this?

Not to mention these, even if Dali Kingdom really leaves a lot of arms, it is impossible for the four major military departments to be obtained quietly.

She knew that after Dali was destroyed, the Song Dynasty confiscated a lot of arms back.

She just wanted to give herself a reason to convince herself.

"Transmit the letter to Zhongsun Guge!"

After pondering for a moment, Li Xiushu looked up with a strange look in her eyes and said, "Let him tell Emperor Song about this!"

Zhongsun Qifu and others were slightly surprised when they heard this.

"Emperor, will there be any consequences when asking Emperor Song like this?" He Liandong said.

Li Xiushu looked at him with his eyes, slowly but strongly: "I believe in the Emperor of Song Dynasty. Regardless of whether these arms came from the Song Dynasty or not, he will definitely give us an explanation."

When the ministers heard her say this, they had to stop saying anything.

Among them, such as Zhongsun Qifu, He Liandong and others, they know the relationship between Li Xiushu and Zhao Dongting.

If Li Xiushu believes in Zhao Dongting so much, they can do nothing about it.

Furthermore, they have no better way at this time.

A eunuch in the imperial study room hurried out.

Then Zhongsun Qifu just asked Li Xiushu again, "Emperor, how should we decide on the front line?"

Li Xiushu said: "The army will hold its troops for the time being."

Zhongsun Qifu and others agreed, "The emperor is wise..."

Since Li Xiushu returned, there seems to be some different charm in their eyes. Perhaps, they have a backbone.

Although Li Xiushu is a woman and is far inferior to them, she is still the emperor of Xixia after all.

Only when she is here, this court is considered complete.

Although Zhongsun Qifu was in charge of the government affairs, he was not a king after all. Even if he had strategies, he was still quite worried and could not be as confident as Li Xiushu.

Time passed quickly and several days later.

Over the past few days, Zhao Dongting's life was still very simple. He either accompanied the girls and children in the bedroom, reviewed government affairs in the imperial study, or plunged into the military department to develop artillery. Before he came, he was just a military enthusiast, and it was not easy to develop powerful artillery.

However, after his improvement, the cable car conceived by Li Goudan has now been sent to various places.

If such things come out, the mines should be able to save a lot of manpower and material resources in the future.

I just don't know if this is semi-mechanized.

Although Zhao Dongting was in the palace, he was eager to see what results would be achieved after the cable car appeared on various mines.

If the results are quite significant, perhaps... I can gradually improve the technology of this era.
