The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1311
Zhongsun Qifu's hand trembled further and further away.

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

All the ministers in the hall changed color.

Soon there was discussion.

The word "Song Kingdom" frequently appeared in their discussions.

Nowadays, everyone in the world thinks that only the Great Song Dynasty has firearms such as grenades, and they all think that the firearms of the Great Xia come from the Great Song Dynasty.

If this is the case, the intention of Song State is worth pondering.

Until the soldier who delivered the report had left for a long time, the discussions in the central yamen still showed no sign of subsiding.

But in the end, still can not come to a conclusion.

In the end, 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 and make a decision!"

No one objected.

Borrowing arms from Song State was facilitated by the emperor.But now that there are grenade launchers in Daxia, the emperor should be the most likely to figure out Song's intentions.

For the next few days, Zhongsun Qifu and others probably didn't get a good night's sleep.When I go to the central yamen every day, I often have two thick dark circles under my eyes.

Daxia has firearms, it is no longer a matter of whether they can easily destroy Daxia.Rather, in the future, who will win or lose in Xixia and Daxia, no one has a bottom line.

Don't say that the private soldiers of the four major military divisions are not weak in the first place, even if they are weak, they are definitely not the same after having grenades and other firearms.

Li Xiushu finally returned to the Zhongxing Mansion amidst Zhongsun Qifu's and others' eagerness to see through.

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

Then, it made the chickens in the palace jump up and down.

Knowing that she had returned to the palace, Zhongsun Qifu and others stopped Li Xiushu on the way before Li Xiushu returned to her bedroom to change clothes.

Zhongsun Qifu, He Liandong and more than a dozen Xixia humerus veterans are all listed.

Just as he saluted, Zhongsun Qifu said: "Your Majesty, something has happened..."

Li Xiushu was a little dazed.

She hurried back to Zhongxing Mansion from the Song Dynasty, but she really didn't know that He Liancheng and Zhongsun Qifu on the front line were frustrated at Hengshandu and had already withdrawn their troops.

Seeing that Zhongsun Qifu, He Liandong and others looked like the sky had collapsed, Li Xiushu couldn't help frowning, and asked, "What happened? The Grand Master is in such a hurry?"

Zhongsun Qifu took out the battle report a few days ago from his sleeve and handed it to Li Xiushu, "Please look over it, Your Majesty."

Li Xiushu took it with frowned eyebrows, and her color changed slightly just after looking at it.

But soon, her face returned to calm.He just waved his hands, "Follow me to the imperial study."

Everyone followed her and went straight to the royal study.

On the way, no one spoke.

In the imperial study room, Li Xiushu sat down on the bed, and then asked: "The things written in this battle report can be investigated, is it true?"

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

Li Xiushu frowned deeply again.

It was silent again in the imperial study room.

After a while, Zhongsun Qifu saw that Li Xiushu still had no sign of opening his mouth, so he couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, tell me...is this the State of Song..."

"impossible!"

Li Xiushu directly reached out her hand to stop him from continuing, saying: "Based on what I know about Emperor Song, he is definitely not this kind of person. Except for him, there is absolutely no one in Song Dynasty who would have the guts to provide firearms to those rebels." .”

"But... but in the whole world, only the Song Dynasty can make a projectile..." Zhongsun Qifu said again.

Li Xiushu was silent again, and said after a long while: "I heard that when the Dali army broke through the Chongqing government, they also plundered a lot of firearms from the Song army from the Chongqing government. Although Dali was destroyed afterwards, could it be... those weapons?" Flowed into the hands of those rebels?"

But Zhongsun Qifu shook his head, "According to the front-line reports, the Hengshandu rebels possessed a lot of firearms. I'm afraid... I think that it can't be the arms of Dali Kingdom back then."

Li Xiushu sighed softly in her heart.

In fact, why didn't she know this?
Not to mention these things, even if the Dali Kingdom really left a lot of arms, it is impossible for them to be acquired by the four major army commanders quietly.

But she knew that after Dali was destroyed, Da Song confiscated a lot of arms.

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

"Send a letter to Zhongsun Guge!"

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

Zhongsun Qifu and others were slightly taken aback when they heard the words.

"Your Majesty, will there be any results if you ask Emperor Song like this?" He Liandong said.

Li Xiushu looked directly at him, and said slowly but forcefully: "I believe in the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. No matter whether these arms come from the Song Dynasty or not, he will definitely give us an explanation."

The ministers heard what she said, so they had no choice but to say nothing.

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

Li Xiushu believed in Zhao Dongting so much, they were helpless.

Furthermore, at this time they have no better way.

A eunuch ran out of the imperial study in a hurry.

Then Zhongsun Qifu just asked Li Xiushu again, "Your Majesty, what about the front line... how should we decide?"

Li Xiushu said: "All armies stand still for the time being."

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

Since Li Xiushu came back, there seemed to be some different flavors in their eyes.Probably, there is a backbone.

Although Li Xiushu is a woman and is far younger than them, she is still the emperor of Xixia.

Only with her present, this imperial court is complete.

Although Zhongsun Qifu is in charge of the government, he is not a king after all. Even if he has a strategy, he is still quite apprehensive and cannot be as confident as Li Xiushu.

A few days passed quickly.

During these few days, Zhao Dongting's life was still very simple.Either to accompany the girls and children in the dormitory, or to review government affairs in the imperial study, or to enter the military department to develop artillery.Before he crossed over, he was just a military enthusiast. It was really not an easy task to develop a powerful artillery.

On the contrary, after the cable car conceived by Li Goudan has been improved by him, the drawings are now sent to various places.

With this kind of thing coming 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 considered semi-mechanized.

Although Zhao Dongting was in the palace, he was eager to see what effect the cable cars would have when they appeared in the mines.

If the effect is quite remarkable, maybe... I can gradually improve the technology of this era.

Convenience and benefit to the people, the development of technology in later generations can actually be said to be a kind of evolution.Although if he promotes the development of science and technology in this era, it will inevitably be a bit of a blow to the seedlings, but it is still beneficial to the people in the end, as long as he has a good sense of proportion and does not go too far.

The evolution of species and the advancement of technology are all traceable.To promote the development of science and technology too much, in the end, it is likely to go too far.

On this day, Zhongsun Guge entered the palace to see Zhao Dongting.Zhao Dongting is just in the imperial study.

When he learned that Zhongsun Guge was asking for an audience, he immediately announced Zhongsun Guge in.

Thinking that the Imperial Army of Xixia had won the battle, Zhongsun Guge had just entered the house, Zhao Dongting said with a smile: "Master Zhongsun is here to deliver the good news?"

Unexpectedly, Zhongsun Guge's face was quite ugly, "Zhongsun Guge came here because he wanted to ask Emperor Song about something on behalf of the sage."

Zhao Dongting couldn't help but gradually restrain his smile, "What's the matter?"

Zhongsun Guge said: "After our imperial guards arrived at Hengshandu, they confronted the rebels! The rebels even possessed grenadiers. Dare I ask you, Emperor Song, you provided this grenade?"

Zhao Dongting's expression changed slightly, "You said that there are grenade launchers in the military division of Baimaqiang Town?"

"Exactly!"

Zhongsun Guge softly snorted coldly.There is a great meaning of inspiring the teacher to inquire about the crime.

Of course, due to Song's power, he didn't dare to be too rude.On his face, he barely maintained humility.

At the same time, there was also a little doubt in my heart at this moment.

Because he had been paying attention to Zhao Dongting's expression just now, he found that Zhao Dongting's surprise when he heard this did not seem to be faking.

Could it be that those arms were not provided by the Emperor Song to those rebels?

Zhao Dongting fell silent after hearing the words.
