The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1312 Three-way investigation
He also found it unimaginable that the commander of Baima Qiang Town had a grenadier.

Because the manufacturing process of grenades, Shenlong blunderbuss, etc. in the Song Dynasty was all in the hands of the Ministry of Military Science, and even the craftsmen of the Ministry of Military Science and the Ministry of Military Industry only had their own expertise, it was impossible to know the complete manufacturing process.It can be said that in the entire Song Dynasty, there are only a few senior members of the Military Science Department and Military Industry Department who may know the complete manufacturing process of grenades and other objects, except for Zhao Dongting.

And the loyalty of these high officials is unquestionable, and with the spies from the Military Intelligence Department staring at them, there should be no possibility of leaking the manufacturing process of grenadiers and other things.

Where did the grenadier of the Baimaqiang Town Army Division come from?
Did it spread from various military regions?

Zhao Dongting's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but he couldn't help thinking, the major military regions probably don't have the guts to do so, right?
And even if they had the guts, how did they quietly send the general fire to the military commander of Baimaqiang Town?
After pondering for a while, Zhao Dongting glanced at Zhongsun Guge, turned his head to Li Goudan and said, "Goddam, go and announce the order of Deputy Army Su of the General Military Province."

Su Liuyi is based in Changsha, and can be said to be the chief logistics officer of the Ministry of Military Aircraft.The grain, grass, ordnance, military pay, etc. of each military region have to go through his hands and be allocated by him.

If the munitions in Baimaqiang Town were transported by the Great Song Military Region, then Su Liuyi should be able to sense it to some extent.

After Li Goudan walked out of the imperial study, Zhao Dongting said to Zhongsun Guge again: "Lord Zhongsun, don't worry, I will definitely explain this matter to Xi Xia and the Empress."

There was also faint anger in his eyes.

After hearing what Zhao Dongting said, Zhongsun Guge's face finally softened a little.

Anyway, Zhao Dongting at least gave him a guarantee.

After that, the two were just silent in the imperial study.

About two quarters of an hour later, Su Liuyi hurried from the Military Aircraft Provincial Yamen to the imperial study.Of course he was a little surprised by Zhao Dongting's call.

"emperor……"

As soon as he entered the door, Su Liuyi saluted Zhao Dongting, and then looked at Zhao Dongting eagerly.

Zhao Dongting said directly: "Deputy Su's order, I want you to send pigeons to the major military regions immediately, so that the logistics department will strictly audit the number of projectiles, dragon guns, etc. in each military region. At the same time, let the military supervision offices supervise I want to know the number of arms reserves in each of the major military regions as quickly as possible!"

Seeing Zhao Dongting's solemn expression, Su Liuyi couldn't help being even more surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Zhao Dongting snorted softly, "Baima Qiang Town Commander actually owns quite a few..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something.

There is really no reason for these arms to be spread to Xixia by the major military regions.

Because it is impossible to hide the flow of these arms, if the commanders of the major military regions dare to do this, aren't they afraid of being punished?

I'm afraid no one is so stupid, right?
This possibility should be lower than the possibility of the Ministry of Military Science and Technology leaking out the manufacturing process.

Su Liuyi saw that Zhao Dongting stopped abruptly when he had finished speaking, his eyes were even more puzzled, but he didn't speak again.

Zhao Dongting thought about it again, and finally waved his hand, "Go and check first!"

"The old minister obeys the order."

Su Liuyi didn't ask any more questions, but just took orders.

Then, he left the imperial study room.

Zhao Dongting looked at Li Goudan again, and said, "Go to Xuan, the general manager of the General Affairs Department."

When doing these things, he didn't hide it from Zhongsun Guge and let Zhongsun Guge watch from the side.

"Yes."

Li Goudan led the order to leave the Imperial Study Room again.

After he left, Zhao Dongting fell silent again.At this moment, his eyes flickered, but his face became more dignified.

Speaking of Xuanxue, he remembered something that Xuanxue had told him before.

Heishan Weifu Military Division had a secret deal with a mysterious businessman in Xijing Road in the Yuan Dynasty.

So... Could the arms in Baimaqiang Town flow in from the Yuan Dynasty?

Xijing Road is bordered by the Heishan Weifu Military Division, and only the territories of Xixia and Song Dynasty cut it off. If this is the case, then the Heishan Weifu Military Division and the Yuan Dynasty can indeed deceive the world.And it would be an easy task to secretly transport the arms from the Heishan Weifu Military Division to the Baimaqiang Town Military Division.

Not to mention the labor-intensive methods, it is difficult for people to find out if all these arms are mixed with grain and grass for transportation.

Zhao Dongting was deep in thought.

Just... where did the Yuan Dynasty get these grenades and other things?
And if those arms were really provided by the Yuan Dynasty, it would be enough to show that the Yuan Dynasty already had enough firearms.It is impossible for this to have been circulated in the Song Dynasty military region. It can only be that the Yuan Dynasty has mastered the manufacturing process of grenades and other objects.

This is what worries Zhao Dongting the most.

If the arms were provided by the Yuan Dynasty, then this matter is not just a matter between Daxia and Xixia.

The Yuan army has a large number and possesses firearms, which can once again pose a great threat to the Song Dynasty.The land of the Central Plains will be another situation where two tigers are fighting each other.

"My minister Xuanxue kowtowed to the emperor."

Zhao Dongting was still in deep thought when Xuanxue rushed to the imperial study.

Zhao Dongting looked up at her with a solemn expression, and said, "Director Xuan, you should check immediately to see if anyone in the Military Science and Military Industry Departments has leaked the plans for making ammunition."

Xuanxue's eyes widened immediately, "Your Majesty, have the munitions manufacturing plans been leaked?"

Zhao Dongting just shook his head, "I don't know yet. Otherwise, I wouldn't let you investigate."

Xuanxue's face was also solemn when she heard the words, she stopped talking, and hurriedly walked out of the imperial study.

Arms manufacturing technology is the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty's hegemony, and it is the sharp edge of the Great Song Dynasty.Now that it is leaked out, everyone can know the seriousness of this matter.

This is a threat that can shake the hegemony of Song Dynasty.

"and many more!"

Just as Xuanxue walked to the door, she was stopped by Zhao Dongting again.

She turned her head, "Is there any order from the emperor?"

Zhao Dongting frowned and said, "If there is Xijing Road and Heishan Weifu Military Region, you have to go and check... Regardless of the cost, you have to find out what they are trading."

"Yes!"

Xuanxue nodded, and walked out of the imperial study room.

Only then did Zhao Dongting look at Zhongsun Guge again, and said, "Master Zhongsun, how about we wait for the news next?"

Zhongsun Guge naturally only nodded.

He can now see that no matter whether those weapons were passed on from the Great Song Dynasty or not, the Emperor Song should not know about it.Unless Zhao Dongting was just acting.

And Zhao Dongting has already investigated the major military regions, the military department and the military industry department for this matter, what else can he say?
Is it impossible to force Zhao Dongting to give him an answer now?
Zhongsun Guge obviously did not have such courage and confidence.

After all, it would not be good for Xi Xia if he really wanted to offend Emperor Song.He, Zhongsun Guge, could not afford that kind of guilt.

On this day, Su Liuyi and Xuanxue were busy making arrangements.

After Zhongsun Guge returned to the ambassador's mansion, he immediately sent a letter back to Zhongxing mansion, and wrote Zhao Dongting's reply and deeds in the letter.

At the end of his mind, he also said that this matter did not seem to be the work of the Song Dynasty, so Li Xiushu should be more wary of the Yuan Dynasty.

He also knew about the secret deal between Heishan Weifu Military Division and Xijing Road.I also have to wonder whether the arms of the Baimaqiang Town Army Division flowed in from the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting returned to the bedroom with a rather solemn mood.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw all the girls in the courtyard.When his eyes swept over Turandot, he couldn't help but freeze.

So much so that even the girls greeted him, but he didn't respond.

Then he shook his head again and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Although Turandot went back to the Yuan Dynasty, it is impossible for her to find out the manufacturing process of grenades and other objects, and then send them to the Yuan Dynasty.

Turandot is deep in the inner courtyard of the palace, and has no interaction with the ministers of the Ministry of Military Science and Industry. How could it be possible to obtain the manufacturing technology of grenadiers and other things?
Furthermore, Zhao Dongting still knew Turandot, and thought that Turandot would never do such a thing.

Whether Turandot's feelings for him are true or not, he can still feel it.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

The territory of Xixia is still calm.The two armies never clashed again.

After Li Xiushu received Zhongsun Guge's letter, she also kept it secret, and did not tell anyone the content of the letter.It's just that the mood is much easier.

Perhaps, in her mind, as long as the ammunition of the Baimaqiang Town Army Division is not provided by Zhao Dongting, then it is more important than anything else?
