At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 48 Too many gaps
"Your Majesty's pulse is strong and he has fully recovered." Zhu Ming said respectfully.

Yang was dubious and asked, "Is this really true?"

Zhu Ming said: "His Majesty Xiang Ri went through a bloody battle. He was shocked to the core. He was also worried about the casualties of the soldiers and civilians. He suffered from fatigue and illness, so he fell ill. Now that the Queen Mother has taken good care of him, he has indeed recovered."

"In that case, let's go to the barracks." Yang said.

"Thank you, empress." Zhao Shi was beaming with joy and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." Madam Yang stopped him and said, "The Imperial Physician Zhu will accompany you, but if you feel any discomfort, please turn around immediately."

"I know~" Zhao flew out of the yard like a bird out of its cage.

Seeing this, Yang couldn't help but said: "It's true that the child is incompetent."

Ms. Cai next to her smiled and said, "Everyone knows that His Majesty is fond of martial arts. Now that he has been allowed to do so, why shouldn't he be happy?"

"It may not be true love, but the current situation is like this..." Yang sighed and continued: "That's all, let's continue making rice dumplings."

When Zhao went out, there was already a car waiting at the door.

Thanks to Yang Zhenlong's filial piety, today's emperor is also a man with luxury cars.

"Go to the wounded barracks in the school field." Zhao ordered, and the car started slowly, with the forbidden troops on both sides accompanying him to protect him.

After walking a while, Zhao Shi regretted it.

The car is luxurious, but it's not comfortable at all as it bounces around on the cobblestone road without any shock absorption.

"Stop the car." Zhao couldn't help but said.

"What is your Majesty's order?" Zhao Mengli, who was driving, asked.

"The imperial guard is walking on the road, and I am sitting in the car. This is not the behavior of a benevolent king. I should walk." With that, Zhao jumped out of the car.

Yu Wengang, the commander of the Imperial Guard Battalion, said: "Your Majesty is considerate and I am deeply grateful. However, the weather is hot, so it would be better for Your Majesty to take a ride."

Zhao Shi said: "You and I are all wearing armor and walking under the scorching sun. I only wear common clothes, so why bother?"

The soldiers on the left and right did not speak, but their spirits, which had been a little sluggish due to the sun, immediately cheered up.

Arriving at the school grounds under the watchful eyes of the common people, Zhao Shi was already sweating profusely, but felt very happy.

This feeling is what I want.

While chatting with the soldiers along the way, they entered the wounded barracks and saw people gathered around and shouting.

"Strength."

"Come on, members!"

"Come on, coach, a certain family has taken care of you."

There was so much noise that no one noticed the emperor's arrival. Zhao Mengli couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty is here!"

Everyone was startled and hurriedly bowed down, revealing Yang Zhenlong and Lu Wulai inside. Both of them had their upper bodies uncovered and were wrestling with each other.

After looking at their arms and then at his own waist, Zhao couldn't help but praise: "What a strong man!"

Lu Wu and Yang Zhenlong hurriedly bowed down and said, "I am disrespectful and will be punished by death."

"What's the crime? Get up!" Zhao Shi said: "It's good to compete in strength, but gambling is unnecessary. I'm exempt from punishment this time, but I won't be lenient in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." everyone replied.

Zhao Shi added: "I am very relieved to see that you are recovering well, and it is not in vain to miss you these days."

Lu Wu replied: "It's all thanks to your majesty's blessing that I have recovered as before."

With good care, there were few infections and inflammations, more than a dozen died later, and the others were almost healed.

Xie Li came out to bow down and said: "Your Majesty, I have recovered and request to return to the team." "I wish you the same." Yang Shichang took the lead and bowed down with cheers.

"Your Majesty, I shouldn't veto it, but..." Zhao Shi turned back to look at Zhu Ming and said, "Imperial physician, please check him. Those who have recovered will return to the army. If there are still hidden dangers, they will continue to recuperate."

Zhu Ming glanced at Hu Chunshan in the crowd and said: "Mr. Hu is far better at surgery than I am. If he says it is possible, it will definitely be possible."

When his name was called, Hu Chunshan had to come out and say: "Hu Chunshan, the traveling doctor, pays homage to your majesty, long live my emperor."

"No courtesy." Zhao Shi said: "Sir, you have successfully treated the wounded. Are you willing to join the Tai Hospital and train military doctors for the country?"

"Mr. Hu, please don't refuse." Lu Wu shouted: "When Xiang Ri was in the army, injuries were superficial and he was resigned to fate. Even minor injuries often resulted in death. This is why the old soldiers were unwilling to fight.

Now His Majesty's love is beyond measure, how can we not sacrifice our lives to repay him? "

Wang Laowu asked blankly: "So, after the old man was chopped with a knife, he would just be thrown on the roadside to die?"

Lu Wu smiled and scolded: "If we can clean up the battlefield, I will kill you on the spot, who will have the patience to carry you!"

"No wonder the country has been defeated in many battles." The prince muttered and shouted: "Mr. Hu, I want to study medicine with you."

Hu Chunshan complained secretly, but didn't know how to refuse, so he could only say: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will definitely do my best to teach you."

"Good." Zhao Shi said: "The injured soldiers have recovered and become the humerus of the army. They should be cherished. I am very happy to receive your help."

Next, Hu Chunshan checked the injuries one by one. Except for Wang Laowu and Wang Laowu who were at risk of their wounds bursting, all the others were released.

Returning to Zhao Shi again, Lu Wu was beaming with joy. He pulled Xie Li and Li Cheng and said, "Today I will rebuild the Guards Camp for Your Majesty as a barrier."

Yu Wengang said dissatisfied: "Aren't we a barrier?"

Lu Wu replied: "You are protecting His Majesty today and will go to the front line tomorrow. How can you protect him for a long time?"

"Your Majesty and others are my shield, how can there be anything inside or outside?" Zhao Shi stopped the argument, looked at Xie Li, and asked: "Young minister has been in the army for a long time, can you tell me why the army of the country and the dynasty has been defeated repeatedly in battles."

Xie Li replied: "First of all, the logistics are unfavorable. Not to mention the generals' embezzlement, but the imperial court's supplies are actually not much. As I just said, it is undesirable to abandon the wounded soldiers, and there is really no medicine.

To be a soldier is to have enough food, but you are always hungry, who is willing to work hard?There was once a time when I was in arrears with pay for a long time, and it happened to be a big battle. The superior officer ordered me to shoot arrows, but the soldiers refused because they had no pay. They had to see the money and shoot their bows.

In addition, the equipment of our army is quite different from that of the Yuanlu troops. Your Majesty also witnessed it with your own eyes. When the Yuanlu troops attacked, everyone wore armor. Presumably, they only wore leather armor in order for their light troops to advance quickly. In fact, their army was heavily armored.

The armor covers the whole body, only the eyes can be seen, swords, guns and arrows are useless, and heavy axes, clubs and hammers are all that can be used.

Our army can only compare with the infantry armor, but the infantry armor is too heavy and far less light than Yuanlu's heavy armor.

In addition, the weapons, bows and arrows, vehicles, equipment and other items of the Yuan Dynasty were all excellent, far exceeding those of the imperial dynasty. "

Zhao Shi couldn't help but sigh: "I thought that the country's repeated defeats and wars were the consequences of using civil society to control military affairs, but I didn't expect the gap to be so big."

Zhao fully understands that the system and national strength are backward, but to say that technology is backward is really unbelievable.

What about the so-called cultural prosperity?That's it?

But that's the truth.

In the original raid battle, everyone in the Yuan army did have armor. Even though it was leather armor, it was covered from head to toe. However, the so-called "armor" of the Song army soldiers was mostly a protective goggle on their clothes, which cannot be said at all. It's useless, I can only say it's a comfort.

If the popularity of armor is related to resources, then most of the swords of the Song Army were broken when the two swords collided. This is the gap in smelting and forging technology.

In fact, it's not surprising when you think about it. Even though the Song Dynasty had a prosperous culture, mostly poetry, song, calligraphy and painting, Shen Kuo was just one of them.

"Maybe we can add some science-related content to the imperial examination, I don't know if that's possible." Zhao Shi secretly kept this in mind and decided to discuss it with Chen Yizhong and others tomorrow.

As soon as the group of people arrived at the military camp, before Zhao Shi had time to comfort the troops, a horse came running wildly.

The horse arrived, and the knight rolled off his horse and shouted: "Your Majesty, Liu Shiyong urgently reported that his army attacked Maple Bridge Town and suffered a tragic defeat. He was unable to hold on and had to retreat!"

Zhao Shi was startled and said: "Huan Huanxing, summon all the officials to discuss this matter."
