A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

For the sake of confidentiality and safety, Fu Bi strongly requested that the iron cylinder test be brought to the Privy Council.

"Privy Council?"

Shen An was confused.

"Yes."

The person who came to deliver the news was an official, from the Privy Council. When Shen An stirred up a storm in the Privy Council, he was just a petty official, shouting 666 for Shen An from the sidelines.

Seeing the idol at this moment, the official was a little excited and even trembled.

"Shen Longtu, the official... the official..."

Shen An was thinking about the absurdity of the artillery roaring in the Privy Council. When she saw something was wrong with him, she asked kindly: "But is there anything else?"

The official blushed and said: "I'm my official...please give Shen Longtu a name...No, no, no, it's a calligraphy treasure."

Shen An felt something familiar and couldn't help but think of the star-chasers of later generations.

It turns out I want an autograph!

The four treasures of the study were at his service, and Shen An was ready with a wave of his hand.

--Fate of the nation, everyone is responsible!

The official held the roll of paper like a treasure and walked away carefully, but Shen An was worried.

"That's the Privy Council! It wouldn't be appropriate to destroy the Privy Council house with one cannon."

He submitted another memorandum, saying that the improved iron cylinder was quite powerful, and the Privy Council was afraid that it was too weak.

It turned out that it was Chen Zhongheng who came this time.

"The officials said, don't take care of things that shouldn't be yours."

have to!

Let's just ignore it.

Shen An then invited Wang Yu and Su Shi to have a party at home.

"Is it really powerful?"

Su Shi was very curious and gestured: "Maybe I'll kill someone?"

Wang Yu frowned, "Under the iron bullet, all humans and animals will turn into flesh!"

Su Shi smiled and said, "Then I'll make the sauce to eat."

This foodie!

Wang Yu said seriously: "Fu Bi wanted to open his eyes to the Privy Council, but the iron cylinder is the work of the uncle and you. Why don't you object?"

During the Privy Council test, Fu Bi took the initiative. As inventors, Shen An and Cao Yi were marginalized and suffered a bit.

Shen An smiled and said: "We must put the overall situation first. As long as the army can use this thing, it won't be a big deal if I and Uncle Guo suffer a little loss."

Wang Yu looked at him suspiciously, "You are said to be generous outside, but I know your character very well. You are willing to eat anything but not suffer a loss. You must have other ideas about this matter."

"The overall situation is the most important thing." Shen An just used this sentence to explain.

Wang Hao looked at him, "I always think you are up to something... Fu Bi is probably feeling proud at the moment. He just doesn't know who will have the last laugh, but I don't think highly of him."

hehe!

Shen An smiled back, Su Shi looked at him and frowned: "Why do you think Fu Bi is going to be unlucky?"

…

In the Privy Council, Fu Bi was angry, and the floor was full of tea and broken porcelain.

He held the table with one hand, looked at the two officials who were shrinking outside, and said in a deep voice: "The Song Dynasty is becoming more and more tough on the outside world. In the foreseeable future, the Song Dynasty will definitely take the initiative. In this way, what kind of burden should the Privy Council bear? "

"My lord, my contribution to the planning of the Privy Council is indispensable!"

The person who came in from the outside was Chen Xu, the Deputy Privy Envoy. He waved, and someone came in and quickly cleaned up the ground. Then he said: "Everyone, get out."

As if they had received an amnesty, everyone quietly left the duty room.

Chen Xu knew what Fu Bi was worried about, "My lord, the Song Dynasty will have more and more foreign wars in the future. The Privy Council must plan in advance."

Fu Bi sat down and sighed, "It is precisely because of this that I asked them to go to the army to check. At least they know something about martial arts, but everyone disagrees when they say it. If this goes on, how can the Privy Council propose something? A strategy that satisfies the officials and prime ministers? In the long run, this is dereliction of duty!

I was worried about this, so I took the opportunity to test the iron cylinder to the Privy Council, just to let them show off their military strategy skills in front of the officials and ministers, but... look at these Man, is it possible? Seeing them shrinking their heads makes me so angry! "

Chen Xu said in a deep voice: "The Western bandits are lingering, and the Liang family is clamoring, saying that they will perish together with the Song Dynasty. Although they are just clamoring, the ferocity of the Western bandits cannot be underestimated. As for the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Hongji seems to have He remained calm, but the Imperial City Division lost more than twenty people, and then he realized that the Liao people were working hard to govern. They were reviving the army, forging weapons, collecting food and grass... A storm is coming!"

"It's a storm that's coming." Fu Bi stretched out his hand, then remembered that he had dropped the tea cup. Chen Xu smiled and shouted: "Why, I don't even have a cup of hot tea when I come here?"

"You, you!" Fu Bi pointed at him, and later someone brought tea.

After taking a sip of tea, Fu Bi said quietly: "The last time Shen An went south, the goal of the court was to severely damage Jiaozhi, but Shen An's Qingqi rushed forward, captured Shenglong City in one fell swoop, and then destroyed the country. This battle seemed to be going well, but it turned out that It is also dangerous. The cavalry is alone in front. If it is surrounded, it will be out of food in an instant. Why did Shen An take the risk? The official told the old man once, Shen An said that the Song Dynasty could not waste energy in the southwest, and the Northern Expedition... Before the Northern Expedition, he had to eliminate the threat from the southwest, which is why he took the risk."

Chen Xu praised: "He is a brave and resourceful young man."

"Yes! It's just that I can't help him this time!" Fu Bi said with a smile: "The officials and ministers will come to the Privy Council later. This is an opportunity to cheer them up. This time I, the Privy Council It will definitely impress them.”

So when the monarch and his ministers came to the Privy Council a little later, they saw a vibrant Privy Council.

"Walking with wind, head held high, the Privy Council surprised me a little!"

Zhao Shu was very satisfied. Yelu Hongji was increasing his strength, and he was not idle either. How was the army of the Song Dynasty, what was the timing of the Northern Expedition, and what was the strategy if he launched an attack...

These are all in daily political affairs, and monarchs and ministers often discuss them, but the Privy Council is often overwhelmed or slow to respond, which makes Zhao Shu very dissatisfied.

He hinted at this dissatisfaction, and Fu Bi naturally knew what to do.

Now that he saw the mental outlook of the Privy Council, Zhao Shu felt better. He smiled and said: "The Liao people are constantly saving. When their savings reach their peak, Yelu Hongji will have no choice but to take the initiative without the Song Dynasty taking action. For this reason, the Privy Council Be prepared for consultation.”

"yes."

Fu Bi winked, and an official made some comments.

"Your Majesty, although the Liao Kingdom is powerful, Daliwan has caused them a lot of losses. In addition, the Song Dynasty has seized the horse breeding land of the Western Bandits, and the number of war horses is increasing day by day. If there is a decisive battle at this time, the Song Dynasty will not be afraid."

This is strategic contempt for the opponent.

"Dali Pill!" Zhao Shu habitually touched the Dali Pill in his sleeve and couldn't help but want to take one.

This stuff was sour and sweet. At first Baoan and the others liked it, but then Gao Taotao also loved it, and finally brought Zhao Shu into the ditch.

A family taking Dali Pills became the most beautiful scenery in the palace, and along with it came their slightly bulging bellies.

Gao Taotao has boasted many times, saying that his belly is bigger and he looks... well, graceful and luxurious.

Women are always good at words, and a belly is just a belly. They actually say that they look more graceful and luxurious, and this is how they have the power of a mother to grace the world.

Another official came out, "Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, Shen An and Uncle Guo are here."

Zhao Shu nodded, and the official regretfully ended his strategic judgment prematurely.

Accompanying Shen An was a bronze cannon.

"What is this?"

The development of firearms in the Song Dynasty was naturally leading the world, but it was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that the musket was developed, and as for artillery, it was even further away. Later, the Mongolian people learned these firearms and spread them during their conquests around the world. This was also the source and beginning of firearms.

"This is artillery."

Shen An took a step back and let the monarchs and ministers rush over.

"There is a shelf with wheels on it. How wonderful! Then you can drag it along with your horse!"

"Copper pipe?"

The person who asked this question was Ouyang Xiu. Shen An said calmly: "This copper pipe can kill people."

Zeng Gongliang put his hand into the barrel of the cannon and said, "It's very cool."

Zhao Shu looked at it once, turned around and asked, "This is the artillery you mentioned. What is it used for?"

Shen An walked over, "Put in the gunpowder, put in the iron bullets, finally light the gunpowder and fire the iron bullets out..."

It's a very simple truth, but both the monarch and his ministers are thinking about it.

"An Bei, you are actually able to draw inferences from one instance. You are so smart that I am ashamed of my brother!"

Cao Yi still believed that Shen An made this bronze cannon based on his own iron barrel, so he was very sad.

Shen An smiled and said: "Yes!"

Cao Yi could only think of the iron barrel, a firearm between a musket and an artillery. This was almost as great as the four great inventions. How could Shen An cover up his glory, so he just praised it.

The monarchs and ministers gathered around to study. Han Qi wished he could get his fat body into the cannon barrel to see what it looked like inside, but Shen An felt that no matter how much gunpowder he put in, he couldn't get him out.

Zeng Gongliang is studying the gun mount, and UU is reading www.uukanshu． net It seems that this person is indeed a bit unconventional.

Bao Zheng frowned and was thinking about something. According to Shen An's understanding of him, he was probably thinking about the principle.

Only Zhao Shu is very elegant. As an emperor, he cannot imitate Han Qi's dissolute behavior and can only pace with his hands behind his back. But just by looking at his eyes, Shen An was sure that the emperor wanted to pounce on him and caress the cannon inch by inch.

"Your Majesty, give it a try."

Bao Zheng glanced at Fu Bi and knew that today was the day when the artillery set up the stage and the Privy Council won the prize. However, if the Privy Council wants to succeed, it still depends on the power of the artillery.

As long as the artillery is practical, no one can steal Shen An's limelight today.

Zhao Shu nodded, and Shen An looked around, "Where can I try it?"

"Right here." Fu Bi stretched out his hands. This is the most spacious place in the Privy Council. In the past, when generals came, they would perform martial arts here and let Fu Bi and others judge their strength.

Fu Bi felt that this place was enough to handle.

Shen An took one look and couldn't help but want to curse.

This is the middle and rear part of the Privy Council, surrounded by houses. If this shot goes down...

"Change another place..."

"Cough cough cough!" Bao Zheng was coughing, which was a hint to Shen An. Don't change places now that you are here, otherwise Fu Bi will feel uncomfortable.

The saying goes that once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow it. This is the current situation.

"Can you help?" Fu Bi felt that he was taking advantage of Shen An, and he had a good attitude.

"I want to help." Shen An said: "The house over there looks shabby, so go over there, but Prime Minister, please get the people out first."
