Over the years, I have never been angry with Gongshu. Among the ministers in the court, he is the only one who has never been scolded by me. Even Zhou Tong and Lu Junyi have been scolded by me, but Gongshu has never been scolded by him. It is a unique honor to him. It is just a pity that he doesn't understand the value of this honor.

And this time, the ministers who were hoping that I could scold him were disappointed again

"Yes, it's that crossbow, how are you studying it?" I calmed down and said to Gongshu naturally after calming down my mood.

"Don't worry, my old Lu is doing business. I didn't do it that time. The crossbow was placed outside. I'll get it now." As he said that, Gongshu naturally turned around and ran out of the Golden Palace. Alas, I'm helpless when I see it.

But after a few breaths, Gongshu naturally took the newly made steel crossbow in. After seeing this, I walked down Danbi and came to Gongshuna. I carefully observed the steel sniper crossbow that appeared hundreds of years in advance. The crossbow body was about one meter and three meters long, and the whole body was silver-bright. The soft steel crossbow body was about two inches wide. Both sides of the joint with the crossbow body were supported by a movable triangle. The crossbow body could be folded. The crossbow string and the crossbow were connected in a pulley type connection method, and the crossbow body was combined with the wide bow body, so that the crossbow arrow could be used to make the crossbow arrows possible.

Shoot farther, there is a forward handle just below the long crossbow body, which can be used to open the strings. There is a two-legged bracket below the long crossbow head, which can be used to shoot crawlingly, and there is also a sight above the crossbow body. According to my reminder at that time, modern rifle-like buttstock, handle and trigger make this long crossbow very modern style. As a weapon on the battlefield in the future, it will make Hualang's beheading mission more mysterious and unpredictable, but as a sniper crossbow, it seems to have a missing scope.

"Ministry of Works, I remember to ask you to polish a batch of colorless crystal convex lenses?" I said to Xu Liang.

"Yes, my master, I have polished the crystal mirror long ago and placed it in the Ministry of Works' treasury." Xu Liang bowed to me and said, "

"Schedule someone to bring it right away."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements." After Xu Liang finished speaking, he said to the officials of the Ministry of Works: "Zhang Qun, the head of the Ministry of Works."

"The official is here."

"You go to the Tianzi Jia treasury of the Ministry of Works immediately and bring those crystal mirrors."

"Sir, please follow the order." Then Zhang Qun bowed to me and turned around and left the hall.

"This crossbow will be called a sniper crossbow. This is the first generation of sniper crossbow. You still need to continue to research and innovate to strive to make a better sniper crossbow. Gongshu's beloved minister, come to the imperial study room after he goes down." As I said, I handed the sniper crossbow to Xiao Douzi's hand. Not to mention, this sniper crossbow is quite heavy, weighing about twenty pounds.

"Ling Aiqing, is there anything new there?" I turned around and asked Ling Zhen again and said

"Reporting to the end, my artillery department has comprehensively improved the existing gunpowder based on the gunpowder formula and storage method mentioned last time. The power of the gunpowder has been greatly enhanced. And summed up the gains from war experience. Although field artillery is powerful, it is very bulky. After experiments, I have reduced the artillery with little influence and made into a cavalry combat cannon that can be dragged by a war horse and can move quickly. Moreover, this artillery has little self-weight. With the cannon, the total weight is about 270 to 80 kilograms."

"Oh? Is that?" Ling Zhen's words aroused my great interest. The cavalry was indeed as fast as the wind, and there was no grass everywhere they passed. However, they had a huge disadvantage, that is, they could not carry large siege equipment. Once the enemy who was often chased escaped into the city, the role of the cavalry would be greatly reduced. Heavy field artillery weighed very much, and a cannon weighed about 1,700 to 800 kilograms, but the cavalry ran just solved this huge problem.

"How is the test shot effect?" I asked Ling Zhen and said

"The maximum effective range of killing against infantry and cavalry is about three miles, and it is effective for the city wall within one mile."

"Very good, then make production and start equipping the troops, but you must hurry up the production of heavy field guns and mortars." I said

"Yes, I follow the order."

"Ministry of Works, is the current construction of warships under your Ministry of Works or is it assigned to the Ordnance Department?" I said to Xu Liang again.

"Long live, the Shipbuilding Department is still under the name of my Ministry of Works." Xu Liang said to me

"Can all warships have hull models?" I asked

"Long live the report, all warships have hull models."

"Take all models of warship models, after going down the court, and take all the best warship craftsmen in your Ministry of Works," I said. For the 145th century, it was indeed an era full of opportunities, but now, the wild monkeys in the West are still fighting each other for their chassis and survival. Now, only the Song Empire's Tianyou year was in 1095 AD, and on August 15 next year, there will be a force called the Poor Crusade, which is known as the Poor Crusade, and the First Eastern Expedition of the Crusade.

After I waved my hand to let Xu Liang return to his seat, I stood up and walked down Danbi. I said to all the ministers: "My ministers, where is the most western place you know."

"Your Majesty, the most Western I know is in the Great Food Kingdom. That country is strong and powerful. During the Tang Dynasty, it competed with our country for the Western Regions. It was only because of the wars at the end of the Tang Dynasty that our country had no time to look west. Therefore, the entire Western Regions fell into the hands of the Great Food Kingdom and the Tubo Kingdom." Su Shi, a great scholar at Wenyuan Pavilion, said, "

"Who else knows, say it." I continued to ask

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, I will reach the Kingdom of Heaven if I go westward, and my country's private merchant ships have also been there. So I infer that the westernmost is in India. Although there are records in the Kingdom of Great Food, our country has never really come into contact with it, so I don't know whether it exists." Cui Wenbo, a great scholar in Huagai Palace, also said on his post.

"Who else knows."

"Your Majesty, according to records, the westernmost and northernmost end is in the Beihai, the land of Su Wu's shepherd. It is said that there is frozen all year round and no grass grows, and it is actually the most desolate place." A bachelor who I don't know his name said after leaving the class. Then, one after another, someone said that there are people in Tianshan, those who are connecting with Tianzhu, those who are in Buzhou Mountain, and so on, and all kinds of messy things are all there.

Later I really couldn't listen and interrupted them and said, "The ancients said that it would be better to have no books than to believe in books. You, except Su Shi and Cui Wenbo, you are all reading books to death, and follow Tianzhu? Tianshan? Buzhou Mountain? Why don't you say it's in the South Heaven Gate! I'll tell you. Our country went west through the Xichang Uighurs and the Black Khan Khanate. There was a powerful country there. His name was the Seljuk Turkic Empire, and his country was called Yulong Jiechi. The city was called the pearl of the Turkic people. Further west, it would be another powerful empire. His name was Byzantium, and their country was called Constantinople. It was a city full of knowledge. To the west, the country was called the Roman Empire, and their country was called Roman City. The city was full of mythology, and it was with our Central Plains.

The land is completely different. There is also an ocean in the land, called the Mediterranean, where people call it the last ocean. The Seljuk Turkic Kingdom produced the best horses in the world, which are tall, handsome, heavy weight-bearing, fast running speed, and strong long-lasting ability. As long as the advantages of war horses are all reflected in those war horses, sweat-blooded BMWs are there. The Byzantine Empire had the copper mines we needed most, and shining gems everywhere. The Roman Empire had countless gold mines, silver mines, copper mines, tall and dense forests, and the world's best natural harbors. Our Song Dynasty was still very small. Can we not have a wider land for our descendants? Tell me loudly how we should treat those rich lands."

"Conquer them, and there must be pastures and cultivated land for us Han people."

"Yes, we want to win a broader land and living environment for our descendants."

All the generals were shouting with enthusiasm, and Zhou Tong, the Minister of War, came out to the rank of the squad, said passionately: "Your Majesty, although I am old, I only need a long time for my emperor to give my order. The old minister should be willing to be the pioneer of my emperor."

"Emperor, the saint said: There is no difference between religion and no distinction. All the people in the world should be my own brothers, so I mean that my emperor should spread the way of my saint more and more. "The censor Ma Conlei said after the left-handed censor of the Censorate. However, the old man said the righteousness of the people there for the sake of the way of the saint. In fact, I saw the flash of light in his eyes. It seems that this old man is also an extremist of all ethnic groups. Otherwise, the words of invading others are so magnificent.

I raised my hand to stop the military generals who kept shouting in the court and those civil servants who wanted to educate the people there for the sake of the saints, and said, "My ministers, I want to tell you that there must be the pastures and cultivated land for our Han people. We must use the swords in our Han people's hands to obtain land for the Han people's plows. When I lead you to conquer there, I am willing to drink fine wine with all your dear friends in the Roman Palace."
