Northern Song Dynasty: Counterattack and became emperor after the Jingkang Revolution

Wanyan Sheng seemed to be very interested when he saw the black thing. After he ordered someone to bring it to him, he played with it and asked, "How can this kind of weapon kill people invisible?"

Wanyan Zonghan replied, "You only need to put gunpowder and iron egg pellets into the tube, light the fuse, and the pellets will shoot out extremely fast! It is difficult to prevent."

"Send the order and summon all the blacksmiths in the Great Jin Kingdom to imitate it as soon as possible!"

……

After Wan Yan Sheng gave the order, the top blacksmiths from the Great Jin Kingdom quickly gathered in Yanjing, but Zhao Yingluo spent several months summoning many blacksmiths. How can a fire gun that has been improved several times be so easy to imitate?

Even if one or two samples are made according to the structure, they will not be used. The first is the strength of the barrel, and the second is the gunpowder!They couldn't study the ratio inside at all.

Half a month later, Wanyan Sheng was furious in the main hall!

"You can't even copy a single weapon, so what's the point of using them? Take them out and behead them all!"

However, at this moment, Wanyan Zongyi stepped forward and said, "Father, I can't blame them for this. Such a sophisticated weapon cannot be imitated overnight. Even if it can be imitated, mass production will be very difficult. If not, then All Zhao Yingluo's armies should be equipped with this kind of weapons, not just one or two thousand men."

Wanyan Sheng's anger subsided slightly, "What should I do if the emperor sees this?"

Wanyan Zongyi said, "Father, do you still remember the seeds and planting techniques that you exchanged for war horses last year?
Wanyan Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that the potatoes planted last year had a bumper harvest. I also ate this novel potato. It tastes really good."

"I am willing to be an envoy this time. I will go to Kaifeng on the pretext of returning the people of the Song Dynasty. I will look for skilled craftsmen to bring back to the Kingdom of Jin to imitate fire guns. I will also look for other seeds to plant on a large scale in Dajin."

Wanyan Sheng pondered for a while, "Although the Song and Jin countries signed an agreement and the two countries stopped fighting, after all, the Song people hate me to the bone, and I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to go to Kaifeng this time."

"For the sake of the Great Jin Kingdom, I will not hesitate even if my body is broken into pieces."

"Okay! This is the good man of our Kingdom of Jin! I will appoint you as the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin and go to Kaifeng. This time I will definitely find a way to make fire guns."

After Wanyan Sheng accepted the order, he simply packed his luggage and rushed to Kaifeng with a team of more than [-] people. About half of these [-] people were courtiers, maids, craftsmen and others who had been captured and had not been returned to the south.

【Kaifeng】

The climate this year is no better than in previous years, and the spring rains were not bad. However, in June, there was no decent rain in the Kaifeng area for a whole month.

The corn leaves that had just grown one leg high began to curl under the harsh sunlight, the ground began to crack, and the drought developed at an extremely fast speed.

In addition to busy dealing with wheat purchase transactions, Zhao Yingluo also started to take various drought-resistant measures with farmers, using people and animals to irrigate the fields.

In addition, she also ordered people to find suitable places in various fields to dig wells and use groundwater to irrigate the surface.

Of course, either animals or people were used to carry the water.

After another busy day, Zhao Yingluo returned to her mansion in Kaifeng City exhausted, her back sore and her legs aching, and she was unwilling to get up after lying down.

Behind them were the maids Xia He and Dong Xue, washing and rubbing their feet, beating their backs and shoulders...

While massaging her shoulders, Xia He pouted and muttered, "Your Highness, I don't understand. You are a royal princess. How can you do such rough work? It's not worth it if you are tired." Princesses are human beings too. They also have to eat and sleep. Of course, princesses also have to work in the fields like everyone else. Another thing is that the weather this year is not very good. If there is no rain by July, the corn production may be reduced by half."

Dongxue continued, "Even if the production is reduced by half, there will still be five dan of grain, which is enough for the tenants and their families. It is much better than before."

Zhao Yingluo rolled her eyes at her, "As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Farmers are used to having plenty of food and clothing, and it is unbearable to suddenly reduce their output by half."

After feeling that her shoulders were much lighter, Zhao Yingluo ordered, "Okay, you have been tired for a day, so you should all go to bed quickly. Before going to bed, Xia He will inform me of my schedule for tomorrow."

Xia He hurriedly left the bed and took a small notebook from the dressing table. He saw the words "Her Royal Highness Princess Song's daily schedule" written on the small notebook.

"You need to attend the court meeting tomorrow morning. Set off at [-]:[-] and return around noon. In the afternoon, go to the foundry to check the development progress of new firearms."

Ever since Emperors Huizong and Qinzong of the Song Dynasty returned to Kaifeng, they were always thinking about their glory as emperors, so they set up a second team in Kaifeng and held court meetings as usual. Of course, the regulations, scale and consideration were still the same as those of the emperor. The difference.

There were no left or right ministers or three ministers attending the court meeting, just officials of all sizes from Kaifeng and surrounding areas.

"Meeting? Is there anything important?"

Zhao Yingluo, who majored in agriculture, didn't want to care about the minutiae of court meetings or military training. She just wanted to spend time in the farmland and mess around with the crops.

After reading the records again, Xia He said that someone sent a message stating that an envoy from the Kingdom of Jin would arrive tomorrow and that the Supreme Emperor would meet him in person in the main hall, so he invited His Highness to come with him.

Zhao Yingluo felt a headache. When the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin came, they were all arrogant. Her father asked her to go because he was afraid that he wanted to rely on her to control the situation.

【Cui Gong Hall】

After the Emperor ascended the throne, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan obediently sat on his right side. Sitting on the left side was Zhao Yingluo, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had an extraordinary temperament. Her phoenix eyes were slightly opened, looking down at the steps, with an inviolable majesty. .

In the court, her imperial aura seemed no worse than that of Zhao Ji and his son.

"Xuan Da Jin Kingdom's Prince Wanyan Zongyi enters the palace!"

When Zhao Yingluo heard that it was Wanyan Zongyi, she was a little surprised. The dignified prince of the Jin Kingdom did not go to Lin'an as an envoy, but came to Kaifeng. His purpose must be to get something here.seed?Planting Techniques?Or something else?

Wanyan Zongyi, who was waiting outside the hall, heard the announcement that he was coming in. After slightly tidying up his clothes, he strode in.

If it were two years ago, the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin would not have to salute even in front of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. But today is different from the past. The Kingdom of Jin has been defeated and he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so he should bow his head.

Wanyan Zongyi was calculating in his mind as he walked inside. After saluting, he looked up and his eyes were suddenly shocked!How could it be her?Why is she sitting there?Could it be that she is...

A very possible identity emerged in his mind, and he suddenly understood something.

In two days, she went from unknown to world-famous. Her background was not simple. It turned out that not only did she hide her identity, but she also concealed her identity.
