There are two kinds of powers, the most amazing one is destruction, just like the heroes on the grassland. From ancient times to the present, they have been conquering and killing. Every time they walk, blood flows, corpses pile up like mountains, cities are burned, and civilization is destroyed... Many people bow to their butcher's swords, fearless and call them God's whip, representing gods and punishing the world.

There is another kind of power, that is the power of creation.

The Great Wall that stretches for thousands of miles, the majestic palaces, straight roads, numerous drainage ditches... Of course, it also includes the giant ship in front of you.

If you don’t witness it with your own eyes, you can never feel the size of the ship with just a written description, like a mountain or a city. Anyone in front of this ship is a tiny ant, including the emperor!

But such a sea giant was created by countless tiny people with their hands.

Very interesting and emotional.

Zhao Zhen, Fu Bi, Di Qing, Ouyang Xiu, Tang Jie, Wang Deyong, everyone was conquered by this giant ship. They walked in the middle of the decks of up to four floors, admired the amazing design, and felt the ingenuity and power of the craftsmen. Even Fu Bi had to admit that these craftsmen were really amazing.

If such a giant ship is used to transport war horses, it can transport almost 1,000 to 1,500 horses. If there are ten giant ships, it can transport all the war horses needed for 3,000 heavy cavalry. With 3,000 heavy cavalry, it can fight against the army of the Liao Kingdom and fight the prestige of the Song Dynasty... This is an easy account to be settled.

In the past, when the Liao Kingdom was overwhelmed, the Song Dynasty was helpless and could only hide in the city and rely on the strong city wall to protect itself. It was trembling and could only rely on the annual monies to pray for peace.

Just ten large ships can change the fate of the empire!

Zhao Zhen finally figured it out. This was the source of confidence he was looking for. Zhao Zhen felt that he had endless power.

"Wang Qing, a few years ago, you said you wanted to restore Yanyun. At that time, many people heard it was a dream. However, over the years, your Ping County has accumulated enough strength. I believe more and more that my Song Dynasty soldiers will attack the Liao Kingdom are not far away!"

Wang Ning'an hurriedly said, "I'll tell you that Pingxian is not a minister, but a commoner of Pingxian, and a great Song Dynasty... As for the things in the world, the key is to practice. It's better to be down-to-earth and do things really, which is also the spirit that my ministers have always advocated in Liuyi. This giant ship was designed and built by teachers and students of Liuyi Hundred Arts Institute, and they also plan to build a larger Shenzhou."

"good!"

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "If they build larger ships, I will definitely not be stingy with the title. The court will reward these people who can do practical things. You must write them down and implement them well for me."

Fu Bi bowed and agreed, his face as usual, but his heart became more and more helpless.

Although he despises the Six Arts School and hates these bad kids who do not abide by the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, the problem is that these bad kids can often do things that are more than others.

Take the Shenzhou in front of you as an example, which combines the highest achievements of the shipbuilding technology of the Song Dynasty.

The keel uses Jiaozhi Nanmu and has added steel components to reinforce it. The ship has hundreds of watertight tanks. Even if it is damaged, it will not easily sink into the sea.

In addition, the ship is equipped with 120 bed crossbows and some primitive rockets. Before the artillery appeared, this big ship was definitely a hedgehog on the sea, and no one dared to mess with it.

...

Zhao Zhen lived a very happy life in Ping County. In addition to witnessing the launch of the Shenzhou, he also visited the ordnance workshop, which was also the place where Wang Ning'an focused the most.

Since the direction of the Iron Cavalry last time was determined, the Ordnance Workshop has increased its efforts and studied the plate armor.

After repeated trial and error, it finally succeeded.

Wang Liangjing took a piece of armor in his hand, which was smashed out using a hydraulic forging bed. A complete set of breastplate, about 30 kilograms, weighing only half of the A-man armor. What is the protection?

An experiment came on site.

There was a stair armor on one side and a plate armor on the other.

Wang Liangjing held a saber, inhaled and slashed towards Buren's armor diagonally. A huge hole was cut from his shoulder to his chest, and the leaves of the armor flew around and the tip of the knife was deeply trapped. Obviously, if there was someone inside, he would either die or be injured.

He used the same force to slash the plate armor. The two hit and sent out a string of Mars, which was very dazzling. When he carefully identified it, his breastplate was also cut, but the wound was not deep. Obviously, the protective force of the plate armor was better.

Just letting Wang Liangjing experiments obviously cannot convince more people.

Zhao Zhen called Wang Deyong and Di Qing, and found dozens of soldiers who supported the Japanese army. After they put them in person, they all gave the plate armor a thumbs up.

Zhao Zhen was still a little puzzled, "I only protected the vital points, but my limbs were exposed. What if I was injured?"

Di Qing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is no perfect solution to rush on the battlefield. It is great to protect the vital points. If the armor is light, it can save energy. The plate armor can also protect all the limbs. It depends on the needs of the battle and make choices. But overall, I would like to congratulate Your Majesty, my Iron Cavalry of the Song Dynasty has been completed!"

Wang Liangjing greeted his subordinates and gave Zhao Zhen a demonstration. They had a total of 200 people, divided into two teams, riding horses, wearing plate armor, and each of them was equipped with 3 guns.

From far to near, the war horse took small steps and moved forward quickly.

Zhao Zhen saw it for the first time that although the Jingsai army had practiced, it was too far behind the Wang family army. After all, they were warriors who fought with the Liao soldiers and returned home with great victory.

When they rushed forward, their momentum was like a rainbow and murderous intent was everywhere, making people feel that their blood had solidified. When they raised their spears and formed a row, many people exclaimed.

Including Di Qing, his temples were sweating. He kept wondering if he was the opponent of these people, could he break out of Ru Lin's spear?

After contemplating countless possibilities, Di Qing gave up in despair.

I have to say that the fence-mounting tactic is a complete rogue!

I just pulled you to the same level, and then completely crushed with absolute advantage!

These soldiers were not equipped with bows and arrows at all. In fact, they knew very well that it was not very useful if they were equipped. Compared with the Liao people, they had problems with their archery skills.

I defeated my opponent with fast war horses, strong armor and excellent discipline.

The heavy cavalry is the iron hammer of the entire army, the hammer that knocks on the crab armor, the subsequent light cavalry, horseback infantry, bed crossbows, rockets, and fierce turbulent oil... These are the executioners who kill Liao soldiers.

Di Qing is worthy of being a genius in leading the army. He has quickly outlined a complete set of tactics. He said excitedly: "Your Majesty, everything is ready now. You only need the war horses. As long as there is enough war horses and enough money and food, you can launch an offensive at any time to recover Yan Yun!"

Compared to Di Qing's optimism, others are more conservative. Currently, there are only a few hundred horses in the Song Dynasty, and only 200 Wang Jiajun have completed training and dressing.

The number of Beidi horses is more than 100,000, but the whole Hebei only has 50,000. The most important thing is that it is easy to attack Yanyun, but it is difficult to defend Yanyun.

These things must be considered as commander-in-chief, and Zhao Zhen really wants to hear Wang Ning'an's opinions.

"Indeed, relying on our strength alone is not enough to start a war, but we can use our strength to fight because the Liao Kingdom is going to be in chaos!"

Wang Ning'an took out a secret letter with a closure on it. Wang Ning'an didn't read it at all, but even if he didn't read it, he could guess some content.

This is a handwritten letter sent by Chongyuan, written to Zhao Zhen.

Uncle Zhao opened it and looked carefully. He called Zhao Zhen the noble, kind, wise and generous emperor brother in an almost stingy tone. Chongyuan mentioned that he was the heir of the late emperor. Yelu Hongji usurped his throne, and both sides were irreconcilable. He wanted to raise an army and regain the throne.

Chongyuan hopes that Zhao Zhen can provide some help, 2 million jin of military pay and 1 million jin of military rations. If the throne is regained, Chongyuan is willing to offer Yanyun's sixteen prefectures with both hands. Song and Liao countries will always form an alliance...

After Zhao Zhen finished reading it, he remained silent, but let others pass it on.

After everyone had seen it, Zhao Zhen asked, "What do you think?"

"I will never agree with giving Chongyuan food and money." Fu Bi first expressed his attitude, "The Liao people's chaos is their business. My Song Dynasty only needs to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and there is no need to take the chestnuts for Chongyuan Fire."

It is rare that Wang Ning'an has no objection to Fu Bi.

To be honest, Yelu Chongyuan chose the worst time to launch a rebellion.

After counting it, Yelu Hongji succeeded to the throne for almost a year and had already settled in his position, eradicated potential opponents and consolidated his power.

Wang Ning'an returned from the Liao Kingdom's mission. At that time, Big Bear launched an offensive and took Suzhou.

It was estimated that Yelu Hongji should have attacked Daxiong with all his strength and would definitely not allow the land to be lost. Wang Ning'an is also preparing to have a good fight with Yelu Hongji on the Liaodong Peninsula.

But unexpectedly, Yelu Hongji did not send heavy troops to attack Daxiong, but chose to attract but not send out.

In fact, it was not because he did not have any action, but because he used the name of attacking the Bohai Kingdom to enrich the elites of the Khitan troops into his own hands. The Pishou Army expanded to 80,000 people, and the rest of the palace troops were strengthened, and the Tielin Army was strengthened.

In addition, Yelu Hongji also did something, and he annexed half of Xiao's troops!

As we all know, the royal family of the Liao Kingdom was the Yelu clan, and the latter clan was the Xiao clan. The Xiao clan had tens of thousands of elite soldiers, second only to the Pishi Army. Yelu Hongji killed Xiao Hui, deposed his engagement with Xiao Guanyin, and relied on his strength to force Xiao to bow his head and obey his orders.

In this way, Yelu Hongji's troops more than doubled.

Chongyuan's rebellion at this time is no different from seeking death.

But when he was talking, he would not raise an army now. When Yelu Hongji completely digested these forces, he would have no way to fight them.

"Your Majesty, if Chongyuan raises his army, his chances of winning will not exceed 20%, but it can greatly consume the power of the Liao Kingdom. I dare to advise you that you can sell gunpowder and hot turbulent oil to Chongqing Yuan! Let this battle between uncle and nephew come even more fierce!" Wang Ning'an suggested with a smile.
