Zhao Shu was a little shocked, "How did the navy attack in the past?"

Qin Zhen said: "In the past, the navy relied on arrows and some catapults, but in the end they relied on the jump gang."

"Jumping the gang means fighting before." Zhao Shu couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the scene, "The soldiers jumped onto the enemy ship and then slashed hard. I was moved when I thought of this. The ability to ensure peace in the Great Song Dynasty is all the hard work of the navy soldiers."

"I don't dare."

These naval generals said they didn't dare, but everyone could see the joy of being overwhelmed.

Zhao Shu couldn't help but smile when he saw this, "Now with this artillery, the Song Dynasty's navy can also attack them from a distance. What will happen to the enemy ships? You can only escape, right?"

Qin Zhen nodded, "Yes, when the enemy ship meets our warship, you will have a way out only if you escape."

Under the dense bombardment of artillery, the enemy ships in front of them sank one after another, and the warship immediately turned around and bombarded with the other side...

Who can stop this attack rhythm?

Zhao Shu said, "I want to go and have a look."

"Your Majesty, the lower part is cramped..."

The cabin is dark and cramped, and in order to maximize the use of space, people's movement space is reduced.

"The soldiers are always in there and don't say anything about suffering. I just went to see it. Isn't that okay?" Zhao Shu was a little unhappy, "For generals, you should know the suffering of soldiers. For kings, you should know the suffering of soldiers."

Qin Zhen apologized for guilt, and Zhao Shu said: "No matter where you go, these are important words, remember."

"yes."

Shen An smiled and glanced at Chang Jianren.

Everyone went down the ladder, Zhang Ba Nian was the first, and then stood on the side of the ladder and stared at it.

Zhao Shu's health is pretty good, and his steps down the stairs are very agile.

Qin Zhen took them over and saw artillery on both sides.

"See Your Majesty!"

The gunners saluted, Zhao Shu nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, I will take a look at the powerful weapon of the Song Dynasty to maintain the country."

The cannons are on both sides, with tracks, and sandbags behind them.

"What does this mean?" Zhao Shu asked, pointing to the track and the sandbag.

"Your Majesty, when the cannon is fired, the gunpowder pushes the iron out, and the force will also act on the cannon, so the cannon will retreat... Let it retreat along the track, and then use a sandbag as a buffer. It is convenient to reset it, just push it back."

Zhao Shu thought for a while and said with satisfaction: "This is really true."

Han Qi whispered: "Is this something from the miscellaneous studies?"

"Yes, it's the effect of force." Shen An wanted to pull everything into the mixed learning now, but he was worried about making a huge thing come out.

Zhao Shu looked at Shen An, thinking about the seemingly boring but mysterious ideas in his mind.

What kind of force does it seem boring. A while ago, a scholar-official in Huiying News used articles to refute it, saying that these things are useless.

But there are living examples in front of you, and those knowledge about power plays a role or a big role.

Zhao Shu was happy and sad because of his outstanding achievements in miscellaneous studies.

If this continues, if Shen An says one day, Your Majesty, let’s go to heaven.

He inexplicably felt that there would be such a day in the future.

The reason is very simple, it is because of the warship under your feet.

Who had thought before that the warships of the Song Dynasty could be so huge and strong?

The navy of the Song Dynasty was idle after the war to unify the Central Plains and gradually became master soldiers. Only the warships in Jin Mingchi still looked a little bit, but they just came out to stroll around every year to play bids or something to make fun of the people of Bianliang.

But later the navy was out of control.

Zhao Shu remembered that Chen An said back then that the Song Dynasty could not only have one leg on land, but also had to get the navy army up and walk with two legs to be steady.

At the beginning, the late emperor thought that the young man was very energetic. Since it didn't cost much, let's do it for him, maybe he could do it for him.

Zhao Shu walked to the side of the ship, squatted down, looked outside through the hatch, stood up and said, "When Chen An said that the navy should be started, so the late emperor asked him to make trouble. At that time, I remember... The late emperor seemed to have said that there was no money in the court. Chen An said at that time that he only had one sum of money... to start up funds, and then the navy did not need the three divisions to allocate money."

Everyone suddenly realized that Chen An had been muttering to ask the navy to support himself, and this is the reason!

"The late emperor didn't think so at that time, but after the navy was rebuilt, he brought back countless goods and money, and then he fought again and again, and he gained a lot every time. The court benefited a lot, but I am ashamed."

He lowered his head slightly to express his guilt.

The people of the navy were filled with tears. Thinking about the days of these years, it was really... it could be called a father-in-law or mother-in-law!

The money and food of other imperial guards were prepared by the court, just practice fighting, but the navy was different. You must remember to make money while fighting.

So they went to fight and loot the spoils... and let the navy continue to expand.

At this time, they were proud and wronged, but if this lasted, it would inevitably be detrimental to the control of the navy in the court.

So Zhao Shu apologized.

This is a timely decision.

"This time the navy went to Dashi, and still went to night attacks to make money, and took the risk of bringing back countless supplies, which money..."

Zhao Shu thought for a while, "Take 50% out and reward the navy!"

The navy soldiers seemed to be stunned and then cheered.

"Long live!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

The cheers came elsewhere, and the soldiers were confused and looked forward to it, but no one doubted them.

"Looking at these soldiers, I feel that I owe them in the past."

Zhao Shu was very moved, but Chen An said, "Your Majesty, the navy is born a weapon for attack, and attack... Didn't someone say something about the Song Dynasty now being a military force? But why are they poor? I think this is caused by the wrong intentions when launching the conquest."

The meaning of military force is not economic poverty, but to do all your strength to gather all your troops.

But in the subsequent debate, the word "poor" has actually evolved and given more meaning.

For example, Emperor Wu of Han was a powerful military force, and defeated the Han Dynasty poorly.

Poverty here means economics.

In the recent debate in Bianliang, the old party trolls were saying that the Song Dynasty's conquests in recent years were a military campaign. They gave an example, saying that the three corps should have had a surplus of money, but due to the repeated conquests, the Song Dynasty's financial difficulties were short of money.

Some people even say that Han Jiang's white hair is more than twice as much as when she first took office. From behind, if you don't pay attention, you will think it is his grandfather.

These almost vicious words naturally triggered rebuttal, but the old party's position was very clear.

It's time for the Song Dynasty to rest. Don't look at the enemies everywhere like cross-eyed one day, and just want to kill all the enemies.

According to their statement, the enemy can live in peace. For example, the Liao people in the past, the peace in the Song and Liao decades was not in vain, but it was really a song and dance to achieve peace!

But they ignored the people who paid a huge price for this.

In order to resist the possible attacks of the Liao people, how much tax did the people of the Song Dynasty pay? How much did the people of the north pay?

These taxes and costs have nothing to do with the scholars and officials, so they naturally enjoyed singing and dancing. Until decades later, the Jin soldiers came to the city and used countless humiliation and heads to tell them what the price of not being sharp enough in swords and guns.

"What is the most important thing for a country? I think it is a sense of security." Chen An said: "First is to eat, so that the people can eat enough, so that they will not be hungry. Secondly, it is the threat from foreign enemies.

No matter what method is used, whether it is to fight or spend money, the Song Dynasty wanted to make the people feel safe and the people would not have to worry about being invaded by foreign enemies. This is a prosperous era.

As for poverty, during the expedition, the court should have plans. For example, before the Northern Expedition, the court discussed using the capture of Yanshan Road and issuing bonds. In this way, there would be no need to spend money and food in the court. After a big battle, there would be a surplus in the court. This is the benefit."

Zhao Shu nodded, "Then why don't you write an article to refute?"

"Those clamors are just mosquitoes roaring. My voice is too loud to scare them to death."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Chen An expressed his contemptuousness to express the reason why he was unwilling to debate with those people. This confidence and disdain made people happy, but if the old party members heard these words, they would probably want to kill him.

Zhao Shu was very satisfied with his attitude and was even more satisfied with the current public opinion situation.

After making the tabloids, the battlefield between the new and old parties was moved. Both sides criticized each other in their respective newspapers and defended themselves. For a moment, the people of Bianliang were very happy.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Shu was in a good mood and held a banquet to entertain the ministers.

"Why are you so happy?"

Sima Guang and others also have the qualifications to attend the banquet, but the officials must have reasons to host banquets to entertain the ministers, and basically they congratulate them.

"The navy has returned and was attacked by the Great Cannibals in Dashi. The navy resolutely counterattacked the Great Cannibals and defeated the Great Cannibals. It also landed in the future and defeated the great army led by the Great Cannibals in one fell swoop. This is a great victory!"

Han Qi stood up and told the reason.

Lu Hui's face changed and his whole body became weak.

The navy has won again!

It’s still a big food thousands of miles away. Although such a great victory seems a bit illusory, it is even more inspiring.

"People say that Dashi is the most powerful in the sea, but it was defeated by our navy. Is this powerful bragging, right?"
