Chapter 353 Red Cannon
Hearing this, Bi Zaiyu's face immediately turned livid, and then he said in a deep voice: "Duke Yang is right, my father is indeed a doctor Wu Yi, but he offended the current prime minister Zhang Jun a year ago."

"Zhang Jun read my father's book in front of the emperor, and the emperor decreed that my father was dismissed from office and assigned to intercourse."

"My father was old and frail, and on the way to his death, my mother was also ill."

"Fortunately, Mr. Shen passed by. He not only helped my mother treat her illness, but also gave me silver taels..."

Yang Chengye learned that when Shen Fu went out, he happened to meet Bi Zaiyu's mother and son who lived in the inn.

Because Bi Jin was a clean and honest official, he was never greedy for ink, so his family had no money left, and Bi Jin was even more destitute after his death.

Bi Zaiyu couldn't even afford to pay for his mother's medical treatment, not to mention the money for staying in a hotel.

Shen Fu was kind-hearted, not only asked the doctor to cure Bi's mother's illness, but also left money.

When Bi's mother found out, she blamed Bi Zaiyu for not knowing how to repay her kindness, which made Bi Zaiyu blame herself very much.

In the end, Bi Zaiyu chased Shen Fu with his mother on his back and took refuge in Shenjiazhuang.

After listening to Bi Zaiyu's narration, Yang Chengye looked at Shen Fu differently, and admired Shen Fu's knowledge of people very much.

At this time, Shen Fu once again pointed to a young man in his twenties who was thin and pimple-covered, and said, "This is Brother Zhao Fang Zhao, who is versatile in both civil and military affairs."

"Zhao Fang?"

Yang Chengye was startled again, Zhao Fang was born in Hengshan, Tanzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Later, he defeated the golden son-in-law, Ah Hai, in Huaixi, and was promoted to be a doctor in the Taizhong, Minister of the Ministry of Power and Punishment, and moved to Beijing and Lake as an ambassador.

Zhao Fangshuai has been on the side for ten years, and he has defended by war, so that the border in the west of Beijing has been saved from the disaster of the Jinren's rape.

Zhao Fang pays attention to talents in the government, famous scholars Chen Ke, You Jiugong and famous generals Hu Zaixing and Meng Zongzheng are all promoted by him. When he was critically ill, he still wrote a letter to the prime minister, discussing the strategy of the battlefield. He was a famous Bole in the Southern Song Dynasty.

At this time, Zhao Fang had just won the Jinshi, but he missed and beat the opponent to death while fighting with the local bully.

And that bully was the brother-in-law of the magistrate of Hengshan County, who was wanted by the county magistrate. Zhao Fang fled to Shenjiazhuang and was taken in by Shen Fu.

Then Shen Fu introduced an eleven or twelve-year-old boy named Yu Jie.

Yu Jie, styled Yifu, nicknamed Yinqiao, was a famous general in the late Southern Song Dynasty, a military strategist, statesman, and poet.

Yu Jie is a native of Changmao Village, Tangqiao Township, Fenning County. During the Shu period, he built a mountain city defense system to resist the Mongolian army.

Yu Jie fought 36 battles with the Mongolian army, and the results were remarkable. Later, he led his army to attack Xingyuan Mansion in the north, and repelled the Mongolian army that harassed Chengdu and Jiading.

When Yu Jie was in crisis in the Southern Song Dynasty, he tried his best to manage Bashu and made outstanding contributions to supporting half of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the first year of Baoyou, Song Lizong listened to the slander and called Yu Jie back to the court. Yu Jie was disturbed by the call and died violently in Sichuan.

At this time, Yang Chengye has become numb, and he has already convinced Shen Fu. These people are all famous generals in the Southern Song Dynasty in history, and all of them are generations with great military exploits. Now they are all attached to Shen Fu. It seems that this history About to change in Shen Fu.

Finally, Shen Fu introduced Wang Jian, Zhang Jue, and Hu Zaixing to Yang Chengye, all of whom were famous generals in the Southern Song Dynasty in history.

Yang Chengye didn't know how he left, he just felt his heart pounding, making everyone around him look at each other in blank dismay.

Yang Chengye also intends to persuade Shen Fu that if he wants to accomplish such a great event, he must rely on his blood and courage, and must have capable subordinates and generals. Now it seems that his idea is really superfluous.

Shen Fu had already thought of what was ahead of him. The current Shen family is not only rich, but also has organized a powerful armed team, and has also gathered some civil and military generals. It is indeed a monstrous existence.

In the end, Shen Fu and Bi Zaiyu took Yang Chengye and Guo Jing to check the training situation of the 5000-strong team. They were indeed a mighty team.

At the same time, Yang Chengye also saw two red cannons. The moment he saw the red cannons, Yang Chengye was dumbfounded.

When Yang Chengye asked Shen Fu where the red-clothed cannons came from, Shen Fu smiled mysteriously at Yang Chengye, saying that the two red-clothed cannons were made by themselves.

Hearing this, Yang Chengye was amazed at who was so smart that he could design the cannon in red.

At this time, a thin young man in his early twenties, with loose hair and a beard, ran over.

"Master Shen!"

The visitor greeted Shen Fu from a long distance away.

Seeing the person coming, Shen Fu suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Guo, you came at a good time, let me introduce you."

Then Shen Fu pointed to Yang Chengye and said: "This is my second uncle, his surname is Yang Chengye, he is..."

Not waiting for Shen Fu to finish the introduction, the young man showed a look of horror on his face, and said in a daze: "You, you are Yang Chengye? First-class loyal and brave man?"

Yang Chengye smiled and said: "Yang Chengye is right, but I am no longer a loyal and brave man, and now I am a commoner just like you."

Hearing Yang Chengye's words, the young man immediately knelt down and said, "Duke Yang, oh no, Hero Yang, can you accept me as your disciple?"

Yang Chengye asked curiously, "Why should I accept you as an apprentice?"

The young man replied: "Hero Yang, in fact, I have heard of you a long time ago, and I have always regarded you as my idol, especially the bomb you made, which is even more unique today."

"I was inspired by you to make these red-clothed cannons, so I want to take you as my teacher and learn more profound gunpowder knowledge."

Hearing the young man's words, Yang Chengye was dumbfounded. He knew only a little about gunpowder, but this young man was extremely clever in making the red cannon, the most advanced cannon in the world.

"The red cannon?"

Suddenly, Yang Chengye seemed to remember something, and asked the young man, "What is your name? Where are you from?"

The young man was taken aback by Yang Chengye's question, and replied: "Guo Kan is from Huaxian County, Shaanxi Province, and his ancestral blacksmith craftsmanship, but I often like to tinker with some small inventions."

"Boom"

Hearing the young man's words, Yang Chengye suddenly felt a thunderbolt hit him, and secretly scolded himself for being stupid, how could he forget this fierce man?

According to historical records, in the Southern Song Dynasty, the army invented the earliest artillery, but it was called flint cannon or thunderbolt cannon at that time.

It was invented by Wei Sheng. The flint cannon is so powerful that it has already played a certain role in the war.

However, before the Yuan Dynasty, the word "Pao" did not only refer to artillery, but also another name for trebuchet, so its shape is generally the same as that of trebuchet.

As for the red cannon, it was indeed invented by a skilled craftsman named Guo Kan.

According to historical records, after the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty absorbed a large number of Han craftsmen from northern China.

In Huaxian County, Shaanxi Province, there was a skilled craftsman named Guo Kan.

Guo Kan is very smart and likes to research and invent. He dedicated the new artillery he developed to Mengge Khan.

Meng Ge Khan was very happy when he saw it. He appointed Guo Kan as an official and asked him to form the first professional artillery unit in the Yuan Dynasty.
