"Who is on duty, this is done well."

Just one sentence from Prime Minister Zhang Dun means that a commander's success will be unlimited in the future.

Just half an hour after the shooting in Tutang Square, the members of Tutang who had just left recently returned to the small conference hall that they had only used before.

Before and after informing the matter, Zhang Dun first praised the commander of the Shenji Camp who responded quickly.

Being able to respond quickly and correctly at the moment when a villain causes trouble is a quality that is valuable even if it is prepared in advance, on the real battlefield.

As long as he hesitates for a moment and slows down for a few seconds, things may change in another direction. In that case, Tutang will face a very passive situation, which is far less than the ease of being now.

Speaking of which, he deserves great praise, especially because he was not afraid to avoid the action when he predicted that various dangerous situations might occur. Although he failed to catch the murderer who shot and the thief who incited the students was unable to capture it, he was worthy of promotion based on his loyalty and courage.

However, Zhang Qi, the Privy Councilor who is in charge of the promotion and dismissal in the army, has no intention of this at all. His face is gloomy, "Who is the reward and commendation matter? Then, who is so brave to fire a gun at the gate of the capital?!"

The old man is rarely so murderous, and he is even not very polite to Zhang Dun.

He had just left the house shortly after he fired the gun, but he didn't notice it. When he was notified by Shen Kuo, who was on duty in the capital, he was shocked.

The residences of the prime ministers, Zhang Dun, Han Gang and Zhang Qi, are only a hundred steps away from the shooting location. The square in front of the gate of the capital can be shot, which means that the homes of several prime ministers can also be hit by bullets.

If you become a prime minister, you have to worry about being shot and shot. What else does this prime minister mean?

Zhang Qi was able to be brave enough to cooperate with Zhang Dun. Han Gang conspired to jointly control the emperor because he was attracted by the future portrayed by Han Gang. He did not want to live a life of fear and walking on thin ice under the pressure of the emperor. Now he has done all the rebellious things, but he is still full of dangers. What is this?!

For Zhang Qi, everything else can tolerate, but things that threaten his life will never be tolerated. Any dangerous signs must be strangled to death before they sprout. If they have already taken root, they must be removed as soon as possible.

"Don't expect the thief to be timid." Zeng Xiaokuan held a silk fan in his right hand and gently tapped the palm of his left hand, with a leisurely mind. "Since you dare to commit crimes and commit crimes, there are no timid people. What's more, you have big ambitions?"

"Big ambition? Push down the city?" Zhang Qi sneered with a tiger face.

"It's more than that!" Lu Jia asked his eyes with a harsh look, and he paused: "The thief in this case colluded with the Northern Territory to disrupt China, and planned to dominate the capital, with the intention of the emperor."

After Lu Jia asked, there was still a strong evil spirit on the corner of her mouth.

Such a crime is enough for the prime ministers to confiscate his family and destroy his family for more than ten times. Especially after committing the next two sentences, killing his nine clans is also considered light.

Han Gang patted his hands gently, and he sat down, smiling, "This crime is well-deserved."

A quarter of an hour ago, in his mansion, he was still in the coldest days. He could scrape three or five kilograms of frost on his face. He was eager to check where the gun was fired and who fired it. Now he was idle, three more leisurely than Zeng Xiaokuan holding a folding fan.

"However," Han Gang pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, and the angle changed a little, and his leisurely and free smile turned into a sneer full of ridicule, "I want the truth."

"Yu Kun?" Zhang Dun turned his head slightly and looked at Han Gang with some confusion, as if he didn't understand what Han Gang meant.

Han Gang's eyes were restrained, and he lowered his eyelids and stared at the information in front of him. A thin piece of paper was full of printed black handwritten words, full of ink fragrance.

In half an hour, the official inspection of the Ministry of the Ministry not only notified every prime minister, but also engraved the basic case. In addition to its excellent ability, thanks to the technology of engraving wax printing, many of the work of scribes were saved.

He said in a low voice, "It's right to settle the country before fighting foreign countries. Some people should be arrested, but I want the truth."

In an instant, there was no sound in the small conference hall dedicated to the members of the Ministry of Representatives and a small number of people attending the meeting.

Han Gang's words were too directed, and the air between him and Zhang Dun seemed to be solidified because of this sentence I want the truth.

Zeng Xiaokuan's fan stopped, Lu Jiawen kept silent, Shen Kuo suddenly found that the pattern of his tea bowl seemed very beautiful, and sat in the corner and wrote quickly. The secretary who was doing the meeting minutes even shrank his shoulders, hoping that others would forget him.

Even Zhang Yu didn't dare to speak for a while.

Under normal circumstances, even if there is a conflict between Zhang Dun and Han Gang, it will never appear in front of others. They communicate and exchange interests in private to maintain external consistency. Otherwise, even if both of them are the prime ministers, it would not be possible to suppress the court so steadily for ten years, leaving the numerous old and newcomers in the court unable to compete.

The dispute between Han Gang and Zhang Dun, two prime ministers who jointly created the current dual-headed system of the capital, was a rare scene than Zhang Jue's anger.

"What kind of truth?" Zhang Dun asked in a deep voice.

Han Gang raised his eyes, smiled slightly, and his slightly narrowed eyes immediately diluted the tense atmosphere in the hall and room, "Of course, the truth must be revealed to the public."

Some people shot and killed people in front of the capital hall, but they were still students from the Imperial College. The killed Imperial College students were killed during the protest against the capital hall, involving so many people and the identities of the relevant persons were so subtle. This is not a trivial matter, it is enough to cause a sensation in the world. There must be an explanation.

No matter from any perspective, the capital must give an explanation that can make the capital's young and old, good and cheap, generally convinced.

Zhang Dun also laughed, and smiled completely covered up his hidden thoughts, "I will definitely find out the truth."

"How to investigate, how to convince the world, how to make things a bad case - and it must be a bad case in the hearts of the people? This must be considered clearly. If done well, there will be benefits to the capital and the court, and a model that can be followed in the future."

Han Gang talked around the corner, and Zhang Dun habitually gave up thinking and asked directly, "What do you do?"

"There are only two words - public." Han Gang said, "The yamen that investigated the case will make the progress of the case public through newspapers every day. Of course, only public can be made public, and it cannot affect the investigation and prosecution of the case, and the criminals will be pursued."

"Yu Kun." Zhang Dun shook his head, laughing and crying, "Is this your bad thing again?"

Misfortune is the basis of good fortune, and blessing is the basis of bad fortune. Han Gang always brings these two sentences to the fullest.

Every time something tangled happens, Han Gang can always find the positive side from another perspective. This is the case for the cult in the south, and the Liao people invaded. When today's son killed the late emperor by chance, and this is the case again today.

It seems that Han Gang doesn't think that he is not going to find something meaningful about his ideas, or find a useful method, but this matter is not over.

Zhang Qi's face became even bluer. He bent his fingers and knocked on the table hard, and said, "I don't care about the disclosure or the 'truth'. I just want to know who fired the gun!"

Zhang Dun coughed and stopped laughing.

Zhang Qi is a veteran in the capital and has always been the defender of the Zhang Han system. The current situation is stable and he has more help from him. When he gets angry, even Han Gang and Zhang Dun want to let him go.

Han Gang also stopped laughing and Zhengrong said to Zhang Qi, "Who is the thief is still to be investigated. However, the situation of the gun he used is certain to be determined - if you want to confirm it 100%, you have to wait for the deceased..." He lowered his head and glanced at the information on the table, "The result of Zhu Zi'ang's dissection."

"What gun?" Zhang Qing asked with a stern face.

He doesn't care who Zhu Zi'ang is. Whether it's a person or a dog who was shot to death today, as long as it is in front of the gate of the capital or near his mansion, he will ask the matter to the end.

"Rifled gun." Han Gang said coldly. The moment he said the name of the weapon, his anger could no longer be concealed, "Rifled gun of the Military Arts Supervisor."

Zeng Xiaokuan tapped the fan in his hand again, a little more anxious than before, with his eyebrows frowned, and his face calmed down, "Every shot that comes out of military weapons is a number. It is not easy for sharpshooters in the army to be assigned to one shot. It should be even more difficult to steal it."

"Can you be sure it's a rifled rifle?" Lu Jia asked.

When Zhang Dun and Zhang Qi stared at him, Han Gang sighed, "The voice is not wrong."

"Voice?" Zhang and Lu Yi spoke in unison.

Han Gang glanced at Shen Kuo, and Shen Kuo understood and spoke on his behalf.

"Uh... um," Shen Kuo was caught off guard. After a few seconds of protection, he finally organized his words. "I believe that my husband Zihou and my husband Yukun have heard of it. Different types of guns and cannons have different sounds. Experienced soldiers can distinguish the type of cannons by firing cannons, and they can also distinguish the model of guns by firing sounds."

Experienced, this comment made the other prime ministers look at him in surprise. Zhang Dun was also a little surprised and asked, "Yu Kun, did you hear it yourself?"

No one of the prime ministers is unclear how busy the daily life is. Han Gang has not been in the military weapon surveillance for a long time, and after becoming the prime minister, he has not visited the firearm workshop many times. So they all want to know how Han Gang took time to practice shooting while taking the time to practice shooting, and he actually got a sophisticated evaluation.

Han Gang smiled, "The main thing is that my followers have basically played rifled guns."

Han Gang said it firmly. Neither the surgeons of the Imperial Medical Bureau nor the years of coronership at the Criminal Court have been called, and the dissection of Zhu Zi'ang's body has begun. Let alone the anatomy report, but Han Gang seems to have completely determined the type of weapon.

No one here will show his doubts, but Zeng Xiaokuan always has something to ask, "Can it be a copy?"

Han Gang shook his head, "Unless the imitator gets the real rifled gun as a sample or gets a full set of drawings of the rifled gun, the guns made, even if the principle is the same, the internal and external structures of the guns will not be exactly the same. Let's take a step back, even if the internal and external structures of the guns are exactly the same, the materials of the parts will not be the same, and they are all specially made. It is much less difficult to steal a rifled gun if you can get all these parts or completely imitate these parts."

Zeng Xiaokuan nodded silently.

Lu Jia asked, "Since that's the case, it's probably stolen by military weapons surveillance?"

"So far, the rifled rifles that the military weapon surveillance have made have only 500. Whether they are assigned to the army or to others," Han Gang, one of the 'others', said to the 'others' present, "They have records in the military weapon surveillance. Where did they get them from, they will be found out soon."

The crowd nodded. The method proposed by Han Gang was the easiest one. The recorded guns are also rare models. It is much easier to find such a gun than those who are looking for needles in a haystack to find a carriage and murderer.

"I thought it would be an ordinary flintlock rifle." Lu Jiawen suddenly sighed, "I didn't expect it would be a rifled gun." He said to Han Gang, "My husband Yukun, this is much more serious than an ordinary flintlock rifle. If you can kill a scholar today, you can kill us tomorrow."

In the center of the Song Dynasty, guns were fired in the hinterland of the capital, and they were also rifled guns known as heavy weapons in the military. This is indeed a serious matter.

Whether it is the old-style clamp gun or the flintlock gun used now, it is far inferior to the Tudo's evaluation of rifled rifles.

Just because of two advantages - accuracy, range, and rifled rifles eliminated all individual long-range weapons used by soldiers in the past few thousand years.

Such a revolutionary weapon was actually lost to the people and into the hands of people who were dissatisfied with the Tuya. This made the Tuya members risk being shot at any time and anywhere. The prime ministers felt chills behind them.

Maybe I felt stuffy while riding in the carriage and opened the window casually...bang!

Maybe I was halfway through and suddenly wanted to get off the car and relax my legs...bang!

Maybe it was following the ritual of the ritual to go to Mingtang and Circular Mound... Bang!

Maybe I sent my daughter to get married and walked out of the door...bang!

Aside from a hundred steps, it can still ensure extremely high hit rate and lethality. With such a weapon, every high-powered man present felt the threat.

"Do you need to reconsider the gun order issued at the time?" Lu Jia asked.

"It's absolutely not!" Han Gang denied it very resolutely, "China needs to expand its territory, and the people's martial arts style cannot be extinguished. Today's shooting is just an old murder case. Since the backer can get a rifled rifle, he can get a divine arm bow. He can also shoot people in dozens of steps or no more than a hundred steps. Or get a mine bomb, aiming at a carriage is more effective than any gun." He looked around and said seriously, "If you want me to say, the ones in trouble are still the prisoners, not weapons."

"The order of holding a gun for free cannot be changed," Shen Kuo cooperated with Han Gang, "The Zhongyi Society and the Bow and Archery Society in Guanxi, Hebei Province have now been changed to Firearms Society. With these people, as long as the court gives orders, they can become the best source of troops. With their foundations, the threat from the Liao Kingdom is not worth worrying."

Lu Jiawen sneered and sarcastic, "When some of them counterattack, there will be a ready-made weapon."

Han Gang shook his head: "The world is peaceful, everyone is full and warm, so don't worry about someone rebelling. The world is shaking and the people are living in poverty. Even if muskets are banned, can they still ban wooden poles? Release the pole as a flag, cut wood as a soldier, and hungry people do not need any weapons to sweep the world."

Han Gang always advocated that the people should possess weapons. When they were in Kansai, they were not supported by archery clubs everywhere, nor were Hanfan archers inside and outside Hengshan, and relying entirely on the official army, how could they maintain the continuous oppression of the Western Xia army?

"Now we need to expand the territory. Our Han family's desire to be martial, and the skills of fighting cannot be eliminated. Do we need the Han people to see the barbarians going down the mountain when they see the barbarians going down the mountain with hoes?"

Lu Jia asked, "Not only hoes and plows, but also Puddle swords, bows and arrows."

"The barbarians also have bows and swords." Shen Kuo immediately retorted, "In Yunnan, the county was established, and the towns were fighting with the barbarians. There were only bows and swords with them, and the casualties were extremely heavy. According to the number of reports from Yunnan, every time three barbarians were killed, one barbarians would suffer casualties. In the first three years, the barbarians killed more than 30,000, and the towns were killed more than 10,000. The first one who settled Yunnan in Yunnan could only survive for three years."

There has been a long debate in the court about whether to allow the people to use firearms. Because the power of muskets is far better than that of heavy crossbows, many court officials wanted to add muskets to the ban, but only because of Han Gang's persistence has been maintained. In the debate with other court officials, as a Han Gang's gang, Shen Kuo took the initiative to collect many realistic examples.

"In the winter of the ninth year of Yuanyou, Yunnan Baojia was trained in winter and taught the village soldiers to use muskets. The casualties ratio dropped to 23%, and in the past two years it has dropped to 10%. Shen Kuo strengthened the emphasis on the numbers.
