Chapter 153 Strengthen My Song Dynasty(1/3)
Wanyan Zongwang didn't know that Zhong Yanhong had already fought against Fujiwara clan on behalf of him.
His life is very difficult.
Originally, the inheritance system of the Wanyan family could easily induce conflicts.
After Wanyan Wu Qimai ascended the throne, many people felt that they were qualified to inherit the throne.
When the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty, the government and the country were more coveting the wealth of the Song Dynasty.
Use war to divert domestic conflicts and use the seizure of wealth that gathers big gold.
It's useless to grab two emperors now.
The Eastern Army led by Wanyan Zongwang was defeated in a disastrous manner. The captures of Bianliang City were robbed back by Li Jing. After he returned to the Jin Kingdom, an uproar caused.
Now they have selected them out and accused Wanyan Wuqi of buying and hiring people inappropriately.
Whether it was Wanyan Zongwang who racked his brains to attract the main force of the Song army to Hedong and fell ill, or Wanyan Zonghan who was seized back.
Watching the Jin Dynasty quarrel in a quarrel.
I had to close my door and thank the guests.
Wanyan Zonghan didn't know what Wanyan Zongwang was thinking, but he was very angry anyway.
"You can't sit still, you can still sit still. These people will talk about the war on paper. Just saying that we are defeated, you don't think about it. Zong Ze, Guan Sheng, Li Jing, and Zhong Yanhong are so powerful, and they shouted that Zong Bi and Lou Shi would lead the army and send troops to Shandong to revenge!"
Zong Bi and Lou Shi are not fools, Shandong is just a sharp blade. Why should you block the gun with yourself and hit the tip of the knife with your chest?
Wanyan Zongwang laughed and waved his hand to Wanyan Zonghan.
"Do your cavalry have horseshoes?"
"I've all been installed, thanks to Xia Jinwu's carefulness, he discovered the killing weapon of the Song army. With this horseshoe, it not only increases the ability of horses to run long distances, but also greatly reduces horses' hoof disease and increases the lifespan of the horse! The invention of the Song people should have greatly increased the ability of our army, and shot himself in the foot!"
Speaking of the entire army equipped with horseshoes, Wanyan Zongwang couldn't help but become excited.
The sound of Ke Ke who stared at the horse running with the iron palm was so moving.
"I heard that the crossbow arrows, bed crossbows, and artillery were not going well!"
The Jin soldiers were driven away by artillery in Shandong, which was the biggest humiliation of Wanyan Zonghan's leadership of troops in war.
How could he not have weapons? Looking at Olibu, he asked again.
"Didn't the cannons you made can also be used?"
"It can be used. Not only is the quality of the artillery far worse, but the weight is much heavier, and even the power of gunpowder is not as powerful as the Song army's thunder!"
Speaking of this, Wanyan Zongwang shook his head.
He had high hopes for capturing the blacksmiths and firecracker craftsmen in Bianliang.
The iron cannons made can also be considered useful.
But I am afraid of comparison in everything.
The one Li Jing's tiger cannon is beautiful, and a horse can have at least six camels.
The imitation tiger cannon made by the Jin Kingdom is so ugly.
One horse can only be transported by two.
The power of gunpowder is not good, and the filling speed is still slow. If the temperature is high, you can't fill the medicine any more shots.
Xia Jinwu couldn't even understand why Li Jing's bastard army cannons were fired so quickly.
It's still so powerful.
"What's the problem with bed crossbows and hard crossbows?"
"We can imitate the bed in the Bianliang Armory, but it is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive. More than a dozen blacksmiths may not complete a bed in half a year! The crossbow used by Li Jing was not captured. I don't know how to make it. The hard crossbow cannot be made. Our blacksmith of Dajin said that it was made of meteorite from the sky!"
"Fuck, you didn't cut that blacksmith? The one who is meteorite outside the sky is rare. The weak Song Dynasty's few iron rains are not enough for Li Jing's equipment!"
"You are so awesome. You're going to chop. Not a blacksmith said that. The blacksmith who created the Iron Futu said that!"
The Great Jin Kingdom was not the Song Dynasty that enslaved craftsmen. The blacksmiths who built the Tiefutu, whether they were Han, Jin, Liao, or Xixia, as long as you have the ability, they were all treasures of the Great Jin Kingdom, with delicious food and drink and no salary.
Wanyan Zonghan laughed when he heard Wanyan Zongwang's annoyed tone.
"Wo Li Bu, I told you not to send someone to go south and rob the Song blacksmiths of the Great Song Dynasty back?"
How could it be that no one was sent? Wanyan Zongwang looked at him like a fool.
"Six caravans sent to Jinan Prefecture, all fell in Jinan Prefecture. They also paid dozens of trucks of beans transported to Jinan Prefecture. The two routes of Shandong were sent inside. When they entered Jinan City Caravan, they would know that the iron plant of Sansi was in Zibo and Tai'an, but the iron plant was not responsible for the sale. All iron tools were sold in Jinan Prefecture, including tools and agricultural tools. Only Shandong routes were sold in targeted. Buyers needed the local government's seal and escort from the wing army!"
Wanyan Zonghan instantly understood that the detailed work sent was sent to Li Jing and Guan Sheng's trap.
I must not be able to buy iron in Jinan Prefecture, so I couldn't stand it and went to the iron factory.
Then he fell into someone's trap.
This is true for one batch, and so for six batches. He didn't know whether these detailed works were too stupid or the enemy was too cunning.
Anyone who underestimates the combat power of the three armies of Jingkang and Wu in Shandong will definitely be in trouble.
"Have you heard that? They are going to bring Zhao Ji and his son to the ancestral temple and give a sheep-heading ceremony."
When Wanyan Zonghan heard that he was not confident enough, Wanyan Zonghan didn't care about so much.
When he came back, the court officials of the Jin Dynasty were asking him for the Song Dynasty lady. He made up his mind and threw all the remaining concubines of Zhao Huan to them.
Only two prince's mansions were left and followed his wife to take care of Zhao Huan. What is the sheep-holding ceremony?
"Wu Li, are you afraid?"
Wanyan Zongwang, who was in charge of all the information gathering in the Song Dynasty, sneered.
If Zhao Gou had not jumped out to compete with Zhu Lian for the rule of the Song Dynasty, the Song State could have been united, and the offense and defense would have been easier in the battle between the Jin and Song dynasties.
Li Jing, Zhong Yanhong, Guan Sheng could clearly push the battlefield to Taiyuan, pacify Dingzhou, Zhending Mansion, and even under Yan Yun's feet. They didn't do this. Are they really afraid of you?
This is absolutely not simple to gather the earth-shaking changes in Shandong.
Some things should not be done too well.
"I know you are worried that Li Jing, Guan Sheng, Zhong Yanhong and others will launch a war against me, Dajin under Zong Ze's command. Don't forget that the emperor of the Song Dynasty is Zhao Gou now, and this person is not worse than Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji!"
Wanyan Zonghan led his troops to the Jin army's Yingtian Mansion. Zhao Gou ran faster than rabbits. He had seen the rewards from Song State long ago.
Such a person is in charge of the great Song Dynasty.
In Wanyan Zonghan's eyes, Zhao Gou's position as a country is equivalent to sending slaves from the territory to the Dajin.
He thought Zong Ze, Guan Sheng, Zhong Yanhong and Li Jing seemed loyal and kind, but in fact they were idiots and cowards.
If it were him in Shandong, he would have been in power for a long time and even sent troops south to attack Yangzhou.
"Zhanhan, let you come here today. I hope you will take charge of Yanyun, repair the city wall, organize combat preparations, stare at Li Jing, Guan Sheng, Zhong Yanhong, I always feel that Li Jing is holding a lot of bad water, and will attack Yanyun sooner or later."
"You really know how to plan. I'll take charge of Yanyun. Do you ask Xia Jinwu to pull artillery and attack the Mongolian tribe on the grassland?"
"You underestimate the difficulty of using artillery. My Dajin collects gunpowder raw materials, which is far inferior to the Dasong Dynasty. Xia Jinwu went west this time, not only to integrate Mongolian tribal soldiers and chase Western Liao, but also to take the horse team with him to see if he can get some saltpeter in the Western Regions!"
Compared with sulfur, charcoal, the bottleneck of gunpowder is saltpeter.
In many places in the Song Dynasty, they were used to using soil on the wall to make hot and salt to sell for money. People with professions were used to make salt and salt.
The only saltpeter production area was controlled by Yue Fei again.
Zong Ze also contacted some Western Regions merchants to transport saltpeter from the Western Regions to the Song Dynasty for sale.
Compared with the Song army getting saltpeter from various channels, the Jin Kingdom had no advantage of using gunpowder on a large scale.
Although Wanyan Zonghan knew that saltpeter was indeed the bottleneck for the large-scale use of firearms in the Jin Dynasty, he also knew Wanyan Zong's intention to kill two birds with one stone.
It was nothing more than allowing Xia Jinwu to strengthen himself by gathering the Mongolian tribes that he had not attached to.
Then he threw himself to Yanjing to deal with Guan Sheng, Zhong Yanhong and Li Jing who could go north at any time.
One rises and the other falls.
Maybe next time he conquers Song, he will have more troops than himself.
"It's not impossible for me to go to Yanyun. You and I will write a letter together to let Wanyan Zongbi's troops station in Hebei and Daming!"
Don’t look at how many people in the court are dissatisfied with the battle situation of the Song Dynasty.
It was nothing more than a battle for the spoils brought by Wanyan Zonghan from the Song State.
For real military affairs, Wanyan Wu Qimai still needs to seek the opinions of these two generals.
The two of them agreed that it was basically the military deployment of Dajin.
"That's no problem. Wanyan Zongbi did not fight badly during the southern expedition, nor did he fight Li Jing and Zongze head-on. He is still very energetic and will definitely be willing to go to Hebei West Road and Damingfu Road!"
Wanyan Zongbi spent most of his time fighting under Wanyan Zongwang since he studied the battle.
Both of them are familiar with the prince's ambitions.
Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang looked at each other, tacitly speaking.
"Wo Libu, the surrendered Qin Hui is said to have written a pledge of loyalty to the Jin Dynasty. Why didn't you send him back to the weak Song Dynasty to steal Shandong's iron smelting technology!"
