There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 168 Who Is The General?
The court was still arguing with each other. Some people did not believe that there was such a weapon of war in this world, while others chose to believe it, because what Zheng Ci said was well-founded in many places. Everyone didn’t know why the tank walked automatically. The reason, but some people still understand this gunpowder, and some people have also seen the power of gunpowder.

Not only them, even Zhao Ji on the dragon chair couldn't help asking himself at this moment, is this thing called a tank really so terrifying?
He didn't believe it, because this thing was too frightening, and it was hard to believe if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

"Your Majesty, I often stay in the gunpowder prison. In my opinion, this tank should be something like a gunpowder cart. It doesn't matter how invulnerable and walking he is. The thing thrown is gunpowder." Undoubtedly, the gunpowder of the Gunpowder Supervisor can also open mountains and crack rocks. That’s right, I believe that the Qilin bandit army’s belongings should be true, it’s a gunpowder cart.”

A minister who was engaged in gunpowder supervision came forward and knelt down.

His remarks were supported by many courtiers.

Afterwards, quite a few ministers stepped forward to speak out one by one, and some of them contacted the merchants from Xiangcheng, and apart from what Zheng Ci said above, they learned from the merchants and civilians that it was also as Zheng Ci said. In that case, it's just that Zheng Ci didn't pay attention to it.

Those who don't believe, on the one hand, want to use this to put pressure on Prince Zhao Huan, and the two also use Zheng Ci's deceitful words to confuse the public and blame Prince Zhao Huan, but now more and more officials If you choose to believe, it will inevitably lead to the other side of the court situation.

Controversy at this time is meaningless. No matter what the result is, Prince Zhao Huan will not be able to please this time.

Therefore, this matter is determined in this way, and it is true that the Qilin bandit army has a weapon of war.

Then, it is time to discuss how to solve this matter.

When it came to how to solve it, the court hall, which was still bustling just now, became quiet in an instant.

Those ministers who stood up also retreated to their positions at this moment, all of them remained silent, as if nothing had happened just now, as if they had never walked out just now.

This matter seemed to have nothing to do with me.

Everyone looked up at the back of the head in front, and then waited for the official's will.

Zhao Ji: "..."

Zhao Ji scolded these goddamn bastards in his heart, they fought so fiercely just now, but now when they heard that the Qilin bandit army has such a magical weapon, they all turned into squashed cucumbers.

Seeing this group of ministers stopped talking.

Prince Zhao Huan was in tears, Dad, have you finally given me a chance?
He immediately stepped forward to express his opinion, and said with righteous words: "Father, these bandits are arrogant, we can't let them go on like this, we must send troops to destroy them, and we will never tolerate them."

Zhao Ji nodded, without making a sound, but looked around at the ministers in the hall.

Prince Zhao Huan took the lead, and courtiers immediately stepped forward to reconsider: "Such bandits must not be tolerated."

On weekdays, some factions that advocate harmony and peace have also shut their mouths today, and no one jumped out to say that this should not be done or that should not be done.

Lord and?recruit?
This time they dare not.

It’s okay to jump around with other things during the day, but under this general direction, no one dares to jump out to speak for the Qilin bandit army. Why?
To punish the six thieves, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty is on the side of the court!
Who are the six thieves?

Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Yu, and Li Bangyan, although they don't know why Li Bangyan deserves to be confused with Gongxiang, Youxiang, and Yin, etc., but the first four have already controlled the court's speech .

Not only that, Qing Junfang and Zheng Chaogang also brought in the officials.

Who would dare to jump out to say goodbye at this time?

Isn't this deliberately acknowledging and scolding the public ministers, right ministers, and hidden equals as the six thieves?

This is not jumping up in public and pointing at the nose of the official and saying, you are a fatuous and incompetent fool...

Is this the birthday boy who hanged himself and is impatient to live?
As a result, one courtier after another stepped forward to reconsider and resolutely wiped out the Qilin bandit army.

Now that the tune has been set.

So, who can be the general?

Zhao Ji looked around at the crowd again, and the group of people who jumped out for reconsideration just now returned to the team and continued to remain silent.

The scene became quiet again.

Zhao Ji: "..."

Tong Guan quietly squeezed his way into the crowd, trying not to let himself be seen by the officials.After returning from the battle with Xixia this time, although the imperial army won a big victory at the court, only a few people know the secrets.

The Western Army lost troops and lost generals. It was called a big victory, but it was actually a big defeat.

This time, the Qilin bandit army, in terms of scale, should have been a small bandit army, but it was a weapon of war that crippled four thousand forbidden troops, and the walls of Yingchang Mansion collapsed. Tong Guan was really afraid of the mysterious weapon that killed a large number of soldiers for no reason.

In the end, who can be the general?

Someone mentioned Zong Ze who had retired and returned home.

Someone mentioned Tong Guan.

Tong Guan glanced over.

Someone even mentioned Yang Jian.

puff.

Yang Jian stared at that guy with an angry face, and all the officials were curious to see who had the guts to mention Yang Jian, did this guy lose his mind?

Zhao Ji on the dragon chair couldn't help but smile.

Send Yang Jian?

It's okay to be an official, but Yang Jian is not good at marching and fighting. Although he was born as an eunuch like Tong Guan, the two developed in different directions.

At this moment, Zheng Juzhong, the member of the Secret Academy, immediately stepped forward and said, "Everyone, don't forget that Fangzhou bandit, Wang Qing!"

Wang Qing?

All the ministers were stunned, how could they forget about this bandit.

The bandit Wang Qing has conquered eight military prefectures since the rebellion in Fangzhou, and his sphere of influence has expanded several times. His winter solstice is Nanyang Wancheng, which is less than two counties away from Xiangcheng County, and the latest news, this Wang Qing had already defeated Fangcheng County, which was only one county away from the Qilin bandit army.

What will Wang Qing do after the Qilin bandit army is wiped out?
Do you just let it go?
This is naturally impossible. In this way, once the troops are dispatched, not only the Qilin bandit army will be wiped out, but Wang Qing will also be wiped out together. In this way, the scale and importance will rise to another level.

Who can be the general?
Immediately someone recommended Zhong Shidao.

Now that someone has promoted the way of the teacher, then naturally someone has promoted the teacher.

Kind of army?
When Zhao Ji heard it, it was not bad. It is naturally feasible for the Zhong family army to go out.

But someone in the court objected.

why?
The Zhong family army guards the northwest. If the Zhong family army goes south to attack Ruzhou and Nanyang, who will be in charge of the northern barrier?

At this moment, Chaotang fell into silence again.

Yes, the war with the Liao Kingdom in the north is the most important thing.

As soon as the north was mentioned, one of the courtiers' eyes lit up, with a smile on his face, he thought of an army. Isn't this army just right?
Immediately, Gao Qiu stood up when everyone was silent, bowed to Zhao Ji, and said: "There is still a troop of troops, breaking Qilin's bandit army and Wang Qing's bandit army, they should be in this army."
