Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 581 If the champion has something to do, hand it over to the Imperial City Secretary (fourth update)
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhuangyuan, our family has transferred a group of skilled craftsmen from the gunpowder factory. In addition, for the sake of keeping the formula secret."

"With the permission of the official, our family selected a few eunuchs from the palace to be responsible for the ratio of gunpowder."

"They are all old people in the palace, and they are supervised by others. At least we can guarantee that no one will leak them."

In addition, in order to ensure safety, the god Leisi arranged for it to be more than [-] miles away from Bianliang, Tokyo, that is, in a valley near the section of the city wall that was blown up during the test that day.

And around, the manpower of the Imperial City Division was also arranged to ensure the concealment and safety of the God Lei Division.

After Yang Duzhi explained in detail, he couldn't help asking Gao Zhang.

"Duke Zhuangyuan, now that the god thunder medicine has a certain amount of production, I don't know what to do next?"

The god thunder medicine, this name is still from the mouth of the master, not only to distinguish it from the more common gunpowder in the Song Dynasty, but also to keep the secrecy of this powerful gunpowder.

After all, just listening to the name makes it difficult to connect these two things.

"Don't worry, this fire, um, this god thunder medicine, just continue to produce it."

"These days, I have asked the Kaifeng Metal Workshop to trial-produce a device specially used to launch the lightning medicine. I believe it will not take long before it can be made."

"At that time, let's test the effect again."

"Dare to ask Mr. Zhuangyuan, I don't know what kind of utensil it is..."

Hearing that the number one scholar came up with something new, Yang Duzhi couldn't help asking Gao Zhang with bright eyes.

"You must also know how much damage a grenade can cause."

After seeing Yang Duzhi nod his head, Gao Zhang raised his hands and gestured.

"If there is a piece of equipment, it can throw the god thunder medicine package equivalent to 250 to [-] grenades into the enemy's formation [-] steps away..."

"..." Yang Duzhi stared blankly at Gao Zhang in front of him, watched his gestures, and heard the data.

Yang Duzhi almost uttered vulgar words like "You're not bragging, are you?"

But all he saw was Gao Zhang's calm and calm smile.

Yang Duzhi began to rack his brains, causing his brain to start spinning rapidly, and soon he slapped his thigh with a big palm, with an expression of sudden realization.

"Could it be that Mr. Zhuangyuan is planning to use the eight-ox crossbow?"

The eight-ox crossbow is definitely one of the several high-end long-range military weapons of the Song Dynasty.

Not only is the craftsmanship very complicated, but the point is that it is very powerful. You can shoot an arrow like a shovel-like crossbow on the city wall and penetrate a few feet into the wall.

If there are people in front of you, you can just shovel off a dozen heads without breathing.

"The eight-ox crossbow is indeed a good offensive and defensive weapon in the Great Song Dynasty, but it is inconvenient to move, not to mention that the Kaifeng metal workshop is a private workshop after all. How could it be used to make such a heavy weapon for the imperial court..."

"It's hard to explain for a while. When it's produced later, you must try its power. Then you will know what it is."

While the two were whispering, Zhao Abban had already rushed over, holding a wooden box in his hand.

And here is the relevant information of Zhang Shuye, the Minister of Rites of the Great Song Dynasty.

This made Gao Zhang show a satisfied smile. Sure enough, he was indeed the predecessor of Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty and the secret service agency of the Song Dynasty.

To engage in intelligence, you should do it here, instead of just listening to what Wu Shangshu and Chen Shilang say.

Here, it is almost as thick as a book. There is the relationship between the characters of this Zhang Shuye, the names of his parents, uncles and brothers are listed in it, even who is his wife, how many concubines, how many children It's all clear.

Of course, these are not the focus of Gao Zhang's inquiries, but the information he has obtained since he became an official.

What happened when he was in office, what is his performance in government affairs, or what kind of people he has a close relationship with.

These are the relevant information that the Imperial City Division focuses on recording.

And from these information, that Zhang Shuye gradually formed a general impression in his mind.

This man is actually a talented man with both civil and military skills. He was proficient in the art of war when he was young. He joined the army as a recorder in Lanzhou under the shadow of his father.

It was there that Lanzhou was on the border of the Song Dynasty at that time, relying on the natural moat of the Yellow River to stabilize itself. Every year when the Yellow River freezes, it must be on alert to prevent the Qiang people from invading.

As a result, Zhang Shuye felt that this was not the solution, so he carefully inspected both sides of the Yellow River, and realized that there was a place where the capital of heaven was located between the five roads.

So they planned a strategy of attack, and finally succeeded in capturing the place. The imperial court built a garrisonable city called Xi'an Prefecture here. Since then, Lanzhou has never suffered from the Qiang people.

And Zhang Shuye at that time was just a young man who had just entered the official position.

After that, he successively served as magistrate of Xiangcheng and Chenliu counties, and later as deputy envoy of protocol, Tongshi Sheren, and Zhiansu army.

Afterwards, the imperial court summoned him to take an examination to make a patent, granted him a Jinshi background, and was promoted to the right division member Wai Lang.

After reading this Zhang Shuye's information, Gao Zhang really had to be convinced, Wu Zhizhong and Chen Shilang were really right, this Zhang Shuye was indeed a capable minister.

Moreover, he is also a general and prime minister who can lift a sword when he is on a horse, and write a pen when he is off a horse.

It's just that the last time his younger brother Zhang Kegong impeached Cai Jing, the traitor who was narrow-minded, he was also implicated and ran to take care of the grass.

Presumably when he was in Guanzhong, he would hold a handful of grass and silently greet Cai Jing at every turn.

Perhaps this is also the reason why he hated Cai Jing so fiercely after he returned to Beijing to take up his post.

After all, I didn't do anything and you came to mess with me. If I don't mess with you, if you mess with me again, wouldn't it be more wronged?

Of course, this is just Gao Zhang's own imagination and speculation. Maybe the other party doesn't have such low-level tastes as himself, and his heart is full of family, country and world.

In fact, my moral bottom line is also very high. I just wanted to think about the problem from the perspective of a victim. It doesn't mean that the dignified champion has no bottom line.

Gao Zhang read all the information carefully, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Gao Zhang finally let go of the solid information, Zhao Abban at the side came up to ask in a doggy manner.

"Duke Zhuangyuan, why did you specifically seek information about this Zhang Shuye? Could it be that he provoked you?"

Yang Duzhi, who was at the side, was also moved in his heart, and took two steps forward, and there was a hint of harshness in that soft voice.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhuangyuan, our family and Zhao Abban have been friends with you for many years. If something really happens, just let our family handle it, and we will guarantee it will be done properly."

"..."
