Chapter 477 Yuanyou, Yuanyou again, and that kid doing things again (first update)
Chapter 476

"What's going on here..." Su Dongpo looked around in confusion, and the members of the Shu Party around him were also full of confusion.

And over there, Liu Zhi was talking eloquently. "...So Xueshi Su can take the initiative to stand up, which really admires the veteran. If the veteran can be 20 years younger, he will definitely not be resigned to being inferior, and he begs for orders."

Zhao Xu sat blankly behind his imperial desk, looking at the court where the situation was not much different from yesterday. Everyone agreed that Xixia's move to Suide City was simply a provocation by Chi Guoguo. Song's authority can no longer be tolerated, so Xixia must be taught a lesson severely.

But just now Su Dongpo jumped out and gave a very impassioned speech, and finally pleaded for orders, hoping to follow the example of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty, and lead the army to attack the unrighteous army of Xixia as a civil servant.

Then... Countless important officials of the old party jumped out enthusiastically, expressing their admiration and admiration for Su Xueshi's behavior. Apart from bachelors, there is really no one who can take on this important task.

Su Dongpo was really confused at the moment. He just let go of himself and started talking as usual, and then he just stayed where he was.

After all, he knew very well that those members of the old party would definitely not want to be in the limelight again, and that the other party would definitely jump out against him, or they would volunteer or something.

But today's old party members are still the same as yesterday. It seems that someone has turned the wrong switch. No one jumped out to express any dissatisfaction with Su's request to lead the army to crusade against Xixia. On the contrary, they overwhelmingly agreed.

"Could there be fraud here?" Lu Tao was whispering to another Shu Party official.

"However, this is definitely a good thing for the gentleman. With the talent of the gentleman, if you go to attack the small country of Xixia, there should be no problem."

"Everyone, don't underestimate that Xixia Xiaoxiao. When I think of the late emperor, my army of 50 in the Song Dynasty attacked Xia, but in the end we ended up with an army that defeated Yongle City and lost hundreds of thousands of troops..."

"It would be better for you, sir, to stay in Bianliang. If you go here and the war suffers a slight setback, you will be criticized by those people. By then, your reputation will be damaged..."

Hearing the whispered discussions behind him, Su Dongpo couldn't help but feel a little confused. To be honest, he really wanted to follow the example of Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and other literati leaders, and deal with those disobedient Xixia and Northern Liao soldiers. flow.

But at the same time, although Su Dongpo is familiar with the art of war, the problem is that those are all on paper, and he has never been in contact with the military at all.

Even after being demoted to Huangzhou and serving as a regiment training envoy, the problem was that it was just training soldiers and did not require marching or fighting at all.

Just when Su Dongpo didn't know what to do, over there, Empress Dowager Gao Taotao rubbed her sore brows that had been wrinkled for too long, and asked Su Dongpo warmly. "Su Qing's family, what do you think?"

A person has a face, a tree has a skin, and you can't swallow all the words you say, not to mention, whether it is Fan Xiang or Han Xiang, who is born to command battles?
Thinking of this, Su Dongpo's heart skipped a beat, and he strode out more and more. "I also ask the empress to fulfill my humble minister's heart of serving the country with every fist."

Gao Taotao looked at the impassioned Su Dongpo standing in the hall, and was quite moved and appreciated in his heart.But the problem is that Su Dongpo has never experienced war after all. Is it really good to delegate him in this way?
Just when Gao Taotao was hesitating, a eunuch suddenly stepped into the hall and rushed to Gao Taotao's side to whisper.

Gao Taotao suddenly stood up in disbelief. "What you said is true?!"

"Your Majesty, how dare this servant make fun of such an important matter with your Majesty." The eunuch was taken aback by Gao Taotao's sudden tone, and quickly leaned on the ground and said.

However, the court hall, which was full of whispering voices, became deserted in an instant. Many people were wondering what happened to the Empress Dowager, and could it be that something came from Northern Xinjiang that shocked the Empress Dowager? Bad news doesn't work.

Just when everyone shut their mouths and listened to the news quietly, they heard Gao Taotao's voice again, which seemed a little uncontrollable and excited. "Let them in, quick!"

This sentence made everyone confused, and subconsciously turned their gazes to the outside of the court. Soon, Mr. Lu, the military inspector, Wang Yang, the military inspector, and two green-robed officials who did not know each other They all appeared in the sight of everyone.

Damn, that kid must have done something else, right?In an instant, everyone subconsciously fell into a trough.And Zhao Xu stretched his neck out of curiosity, and then noticed that in addition to the four people in the group, there were also two forbidden soldiers accompanying him. What's important is that these two forbidden soldiers each held a handle in their hands. It seems to be a slightly different divine arm crossbow than what you usually see.

"Congratulations, empress, congratulations, Your Majesty, my military weapon supervisor, Mr. Wang, researched and developed two yuanyou crossbows overnight, and specially presented them to the imperial court..."

"Yuanyou Nu, what the hell is this?"

"Yuanyou, it's Yuanyou again, is this bastard surnamed Wang messing around again?"

Just when the ministers were talking about it, the high-pitched voice sounded again. "Lu Qing's family, please tell your ministers about this Yuanyou crossbow."

"Hui Niangniang, it's better to let Wang Wushan, the inventor of the Yuanyou crossbow, say it." Master Lu thought for a while, and decided that it would be better for Wuyang to jump out by himself.

#####
When Wang Yang stood up, he picked up one of the Yuanyou crossbows with shining silver arms, and told the ministers present that the arms of this crossbow were made of mild steel and were extremely simple to make. The most important thing was that its range was completely It is not inferior to the Divine Arm Crossbow, and there is great possibility of improvement.

Above the court hall, it was once again caught in a commotion.Zhao Xu, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, couldn't bear it and left the imperial case and came to Wang Yang, picked up a Yuanyou crossbow and looked it up.

"...Your lords must be very clear that the system of this crossbow arm is extremely difficult. It needs to choose six materials and six glues, and it must be adapted to the four seasons. It will take one to two years to make it."

"Nowadays, you only need to use this kind of soft steel crossbow arm to obtain the range and lethality of the god arm crossbow. The important thing is that it takes nearly two years for the arm of a god arm crossbow The situation, and the cost has reached the number of five guan."

"As for the steel crossbow arm of Yuanyou Crossbow, it took less than three hours from smelting, pouring, and then drilling to shape, and the cost was not even three hundred dollars..."

"... Wu Shan, are you saying that the arm of this steel crossbow only costs three hundred dollars? And its range and lethality are not inferior to the god arm crossbow?" Zhao Xu's heart is strong, and at this moment he feels that his heart is in his chest There was a lot of bang bang bang inside.
