Zhang Shijie was even more happy after hearing this, "I will go and arrange it now!"

Zhao Dongting had nothing to say, so he nodded and asked several ministers to retreat.

He could only point out the general direction and strategy, and he didn't understand at all if he asked him to dig traps and bury hidden weapons.

This kind of thing seems simple, but in fact there are many skills and particulars.

When Lu Xiufu and the others left, Zhao Dongting himself walked towards the weapons workshop. The smelting technique in the Southern Song Dynasty was still good, and he could refine steel, but it was still limited by the technological level. Although the forged weapons and armor were strong, they were too heavy, and they were often ten kilograms, and they were not sharp enough.

Although Ge Lijun was about to invade, Zhao Dongting still wanted to improve the smelting technique of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Sharpening a knife will not delay cutting wood. As long as the army's weapons can be improved, the combat power will surely increase greatly in the future.

When Li Yuanxiu saw Zhao Dongting walking straight towards the weapons workshop, he couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, why don't you go to see the surrendered general of the Yuan army Wanyan Zhang?"

Zhao Dongting raised his eyes and said, "What are you going to see him?"

Li Yuanxiu said: "Don't the emperor plan to surrender him?"

In ancient times, when kings saw powerful generals, they were usually reluctant to kill them, such as Cao Cao's treatment of Guan Yu.

Zhao Dongting came from modern times, but didn't think so. He shook his head and said, "The Yuan Dynasty is powerful, and our dynasty is weak. If Wanyan Zhang is not a fool, he will not really join my Song Dynasty. If he wants to leave, he will stay and let him go, so I am too lazy to see him. It's better if he leaves. Here, those Jurchen soldiers always focus on him, and may change."

Li Yuanxiu said in surprise: "If Wanyan Zhang surrendered, he wouldn't be so untrustworthy, right?"

At that time, many people regarded benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness as more important than life.

Zhao Dongting sneered and shook his head, stopping talking.

People’s beliefs will always change with the changes in the current situation.

The next morning, Zhang Shijie reported to the court: "Report to the emperor, the surrendered soldiers have been handled properly. The Yuan army is willing to submit to our army, and the remaining nearly 5,000 people have been distributed to the public and sent them home."

"Um."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, "Then we will first disperse them into various departments of our army, and let them dig traps with our soldiers, without distributing weapons, and the rest of the food, clothing and supplies are the same as our soldiers."

Zhang Shijie bowed slightly, "How to place those generals and commanders?"

In fact, Zhao Dongting was also a little upset by this matter in the past two days. He heard this and said impatiently: "Let's register first. After this matter, I will resettle them."

"yes."

Zhang Shijie responded and stopped talking.

Zhao Dongting rubbed his temples and said, "By the way, then Wanyan Zhang will go or stay?"

Although he did not want to surrender Wanyan Zhang, he still cared about this Yuan army general.

Zhang Shijie replied: "He stayed in the army."

"oh?"

Zhao Dongting was also surprised when he heard this, "He didn't leave?"

Zhang Shijie looked at Su Liuyi next to him. Su Liuyi stood up and said, "Report to the emperor, I have seen Wanyan Zhang. He said that most of his tribes remain in the army. He has no worries in the north, so he is willing to serve in the army."
