A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

While She Hui was constantly thinking about improving steel, Shen An was also thinking about updating firearms.

There is no doubt that, as a person of later generations, muskets and artillery are the first things that come to mind.

A hail of bullets and artillery fire...

These familiar words for later generations are reminiscent of those killings.

Swords, guns and arrows, as products of the cold weapon age, gradually lost their power to struggle in the face of firearms and became tools similar to primitive people. This is a conclusion.

So he took out the artillery, drew the drawings, worked with She Hui to finalize it, and then built it.

For the Song Dynasty, the role of artillery was too great.

Defend the city!

No matter in the past or in the future, the enemies in the north always aimed to conquer the cities in the Central Plains.

Why is this so?

Because there are countless resources, countless craftsmen, and countless Han beauties in the city...

Enemies in the north often appear to be bandits first, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.

With the help of artillery, gunpowder cans and kerosene bombs, Yelu Hongji had to beat him until he vomited blood if he wanted to break the Song Dynasty's city.

If the enemy army cannot break the city, the Song Dynasty can calmly reinforce it and then fight the enemy army decisively.

This is the simplest strategy.

Of course, it is also the most effective strategy.

So Shen An is looking forward to the emergence of artillery, but he extravagantly hopes to use steel cannons.

So after She Hui said that he had made a bronze cannon, he didn't care. He didn't even come to see it. He just said: Steel cannons are the trend.

Now it seems that steel cannons have to wait a little longer, but bronze cannons can be used.

Just how powerful is it?

boom!

The iron bullet flew out.

Shen An squinted his eyes.

Bang!

The wall in the distance suddenly shook, and then collapsed.

Damn it!

It’s so powerful!

Shen An slapped his thigh and said happily: "Okay! Well done!"

The Taoists were very happy, and someone said: "I'm afraid this thing is enough for digging mountains."

"No, no, no, this thing is placed outside our door, just to ward off evil spirits!"

This is a group of very kind-hearted Taoist priests, but in Shen An's mind, he has already thought of them as an iron horse.

Amidst the roar of artillery, the swordsmen and axemen marched forward with their heads high, the spearmen stabbed hard, and the cavalry was eager to try, ready to obey the order and charge into the battle...

This is where the artillery should appear, not as a mascot outside the Taoist temple.

Shen An's blood boiled, and She Qing, who was in a daze, suddenly said: "Brother, you blew down the wall."

She Hui said with a sad face: "I am a poor man."

Isn’t it just that the wall collapsed?

Shen An looked at it and said, "It's not long, just make up for it."

She Hui shook his head, "Back then, Master, Pindao and several fellow disciples built the wall together. Master calculated with his fingers and said that if the wall does not fall down, Izumo Temple will not fall down."

On the other hand, if the wall falls down, Izumo-kan will probably disappear.

"Times have changed, and there is no wall between the outside world and the secular world. Izumo-kan has created many good things and has contributed to the country. If I say something here, Izumo-kan will never fail!"

Shen An's tone was firm, which made the Taoists feel at ease, but someone said, "That's Master's calculation!"

"What calculation?" Shen An frowned and said, "Has that senior calculated the changes that Shen will bring to Yunguan?"

Sheqing nodded, "Yes! Taoist brother allowed Izumo Temple to stay away from the world. Now Pindao's lessons have become more and more refined. It is all the result of Taoist brother."

She Hui's cheeks trembled and she sighed.

Izumo-kan was originally very popular, and everyone's life was very smooth. Later, when Shen An came, this place became a steel research center. The incense was sparse and touching, and the ancestors didn't know if they would be full. Alas! It's all our sins!

Without the incense, one would naturally be far away from the world. In the past, some people built temples in places where birds didn't poop, just to stay away from the mundane world, but what happened?

Just ruins.

"The so-called world is only in the heart. If you think about it, it is there. If your heart is pure, even if there are countless beauties and countless money in front of you, you will still regard it as nothing."

What is called cultivation is the heart.

"The human heart is complex, and a person's life span is only a short period of a hundred years. What are you cultivating?" Shen An said seriously: "What you are cultivating is just a clear conscience."

She Hui and others bowed their heads and said, "Thank you, Taoist brother, for the explanation."

"Cultivation means cultivating the mind, which is a great virtue."

Shen An was also exposed to these things in his previous life. At that time, there was an explosion of information and countless viewpoints were exposed one by one, and he gradually gained insights.

"The human body is a ship, carrying only the soul. The purpose of cultivating the human body is to make the soul more stable."

At this moment, Shen An's image was extremely tall, and the Taoists were awe-inspiring.

I couldn't talk anymore. If I kept talking, Shen An felt that he would figure out the training system of a fantasy novel.

"Go find the iron bullets." She Qing touched the barrel and praised: "The ways of gunpowder are indeed endless, but this thing is harmful to Tianhe, so please be careful, Taoist brother."

He was a quick-witted person, and he had sensed a hint of evil aura from Shen An before, but just thinking about it made him feel terrible, "If this iron bullet were to hit the crowd, it would be as devastating as the dead, and there would be endless killings!"

"There is no killing." Shen An smiled and said: "This world is a jungle, and you and I are both living creatures in the jungle. We individually have to live cautiously. Together we are called the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty is strong and prosperous. Our life will be easy. The Song Dynasty is weakening... The love of sacrifice will leave no eggs left unbroken. When that time comes, neither the secular world nor the outside world will be spared."

The subsequent situation proved these words.

Some people go to the grassland to fight for luck...

"Someone is pinned down!"

The wall collapsed and crushed a man. She Hui said, "Bring him up and Pindao will treat him."

Taoists stay away from the secular world, but practicing Taoism cannot avoid getting sick. It would be great if you know some medical skills. On the one hand, you can treat yourself, and on the other hand, you can solve the problems of believers.

Sheqing went over to take a look, and when he came back he looked wary, "Brother Taoist, this person doesn't smell right. I think he's spooky."

Secret spy!

Shen An's heart went cold, "Let She Hui wake him up and torture him!"

She Qing gritted her teeth and said, "Pindao was also ruthless back then..."

you?

Shen An looked at him and felt that he had heard the biggest joke of the year.

A Taoist said he was cruel and ruthless!

It is Izumokan who is the most observant and specializes in dealing with the outside world.

I remember the last time someone pointed at him and yelled at him, and he smiled so flatteringly that he even trembled.

Shen An nodded with a smile, but gave Li Baojiu a look.

Li Baojiu went out and shook his head when he came back, indicating that no abnormality was found.

"ah……"

The torture had already begun inside.

Shen An was thinking about the bronze cannon outside. Li Baojiu took a look and came back and said, "Lang Jun, that Taoist is using molten iron drops."

Shen An looked at the sky speechlessly.

This is really cruel and cruel, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"A certain person is from the Imperial City Department!"

As soon as the torture began, the man revealed his identity, "If you dare to touch someone, I will send them all to the southwest!"

It was quiet for a moment, and Shen An said calmly outside: "Shen has missed Southwest for a long time, so he just happened to go and have a look."

"Shen Longtu, help!" the spy shouted: "The villain is just scaring them, please let Shen Longtu spare the villain."

"What are you doing here?" Shen An didn't worry that the other party was forging his identity, so he asked easily.

The man smiled bitterly and said: "I was ordered to squat at Izumo Temple. The weather is nice today, so I was taking a nap outside against the wall. Who would have thought that with a bang, the wall would fall down."

This man was considered unlucky, but Shen An didn't sympathize with him and said, "Send him back to the Imperial City Division."

The man was escorted all the way outside the Imperial City. After the people from the Imperial City Department came out to confirm his identity, the Taoist priest who escorted him said: "Shen Longtu happens to be in the temple, so be careful."

Shen An had too many enemies, and Emperor Liao hated him to the core, so he always had to take a guard with him when he traveled, either Wen Xiaozhong or Li Baojiu.

The people from the Imperial City Division looked livid, and after being polite, they took the man back.

"Just heard a bang and the wall collapsed?"

Zhang Baba was very angry, probably because he wanted to take action.

After seeing his eagle talons, the spy shed tears, "Everyone knows that the villain's oath is true. At that time, the villain was sitting by the wall and taking a nap, and he heard a bang, and then the wall collapsed. Well, I buried the villain underneath."

"A bang..." Zhang Baba murmured: "The officials just asked Shen An to improve the iron tube, and he found a way so quickly? The wall collapsed in one go, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net This is much more powerful than Uncle Guo’s iron cylinder."

He hurriedly went to see Zhao Shu.

"Guan family, Shen An is afraid that he may have made an iron cylinder."

Zhang Baibian told what happened before, and Zhao Shu was also surprised, "So fast? I thought it would take several months, but who would have thought it would only take a few days? Could it be that Shen An is Wenquxing..."

He shook his head. Wen Quxing had nothing to do with this. Wen Quxing was just good at writing and poetry.

When Chen Zhongheng heard that his good friend had excelled, he felt happy and said, "Guan, this is a gift!"

Zhao Shu glanced at him and said, "No knowledge and no skills! This is a genius."

Aren't they all the same?

Chen Zhongheng cursed in his heart.

"I can improve the iron cylinder in a few days, and it can actually break down the wall. I can't wait to ask Shen An when I can try it."

Later, news came, "The officials, Shen Longtu said, it will take two or three days to think about it. He said that this thing is dangerous and it is not safe and he dare not show it to the officials."

"He is indeed loyal."

Zhao Shu was very satisfied, but then news came from Zhang Ba8n.

"Shen An returned home and reportedly banged the table while teaching taro. Then he and his wife argued over this and went out to drink in anger."

Is this a good idea?

There was anger in Zhao Shu's eyes, "I'll wait and see in two or three days. If it's not good, then I'll deal with him."

Chen Zhongheng shrank his neck and silently recited a few Buddhist and Taoist names in his heart.

Two or three days passed by in a blink of an eye. On this day, Shen An wrote a memorial saying that the artillery was successful, and invited Zhao Shu and the ministers to take a look.
