"But what if Song Jun really did it?" Brother Richard said.

"Impossible!" Li Qianshun directly denied, "The Koreans can completely disperse their troops in several major military towns in the country, conduct in-depth defense, and mobilize the people to fight against the Song army. As time goes by, the Song army will inevitably be exhausted, and the people beside it will be exhausted. The Jin army will never sit idly by and want to take down Goryeo in a short time, unless..."

"Unless the Koreans gather their own troops together and send them to the Song army to destroy them." Brother Richard shook his head, "This is impossible, the Koreans are not that stupid."

"So I think we can indeed go south, but we need to do a test first to see the Song army's reaction." Li Qianshun became excited, "By the way, how many armors are there in Hengshan now?"

Brother Richard said: "Our dynasty currently has 300,000 armored men, the number of iron kites has been expanded to 10,000, and the food reserves are enough to feed an army of 300,000 men for a year."

"Where is the information about the Shaanxi Song Army?"

"The Song army in Shaanxi still claims to have 300,000 soldiers, but the actual number of Forbidden troops capable of fighting should only be 100,000."

"Be prepared with both hands. One is to send people to Tokyo City to inquire about information and see if they can find out the situation of the Battle of Song Li. The other is to tell the Yinzhou Song Army that one of our soldiers is lost in Yinzhou and ask the Song Army to hand him over. Intensify the conflict, but keep it under control and see how Song Jun reacts."

Li Qianshun said confidently: "For such an important matter as the Song Dynasty's crusade against Goryeo, the head coach of the Shaanxi Song Army should have been notified to control the border defense and would not act rashly."

"Your Majesty is wise." Brother Richard could not help but admire, "I will make arrangements right now."

The fifth day of October, Tokyo city.

Early in the morning, Gao Qiu entered the palace.

Zhao Ning was discussing things with Chen Gui in the back garden, and the early winter wind was already very chilly.

Chen Gui held a copper pipe in his hand, less than one meter long and looking like a copper rod.

Chen Gui said: "Your Majesty, I have improved the long musket used to defend the city and shortened it."

Zhao Ning took it and looked at it carefully. He didn't quite understand it, so he just asked, "What's the difference between this and before?"

"Before, the gunpowder was put in, and the stones were piled in front, all together. I separated the chamber of the gun from the place where the gunpowder was stored." Chen Gui pointed out to Zhao Ning carefully, "Here is the gunpowder chamber. The horizontal surface is widened and the gunpowder burns faster after being put in. I have tested it many times."

Now even Zhao Ning, a science and engineering idiot, understands that this is to increase the contact surface with the air.

Based on the rudimentary physics knowledge he had almost forgotten in the past, Zhao Ning suddenly realized that by increasing the air contact surface and speeding up the instantaneous burning of gunpowder, greater power could be unleashed in a short time.

Zhao Ning was a little surprised. He really didn't know much about these things. If it hadn't been made by Chen Gui, he wouldn't have realized it.

After all, he studied literature in his previous life.

In this world, the barriers between knowledge and knowledge are very high.

In order to hunt in primitive times, human beings' brains had to quickly judge possible dangers around them, so the brain invented a new thing called: tags.

Therefore, labeling has become what the human brain is best at because it is quick and easy.

In the 21st century network, this habit is called hating, and it is obviously no longer suitable for the 21st century with a more complex social system.

Objectively speaking, the human brain likes to take shortcuts in thinking, and is inherently dependent on successful thinking methods in the past.

This leads to huge differences in thinking styles between people due to different experiences, different personalities.

In this way, knowledge barriers arise.

This is the so-called curse of knowledge.

Those who ignore this characteristic of human beings are basically arrogant and ignorant.

Smart people will immediately face it and start to gather people with different abilities to form their own team, each performing their own duties.

This is also an important reason why the main responsibility of the leader is to maintain the balance of the team.

Individual human beings are indeed scarce and weak, but once human beings unite, the power they exert is amazing.

Now, Zhao Ning has deeply realized this with Chen Gui.

Professional things really need to be done by professional people.

Zhao Ning couldn't help but ask: "How did you find out?"

"I did a lot of testing and discovered these characteristics."

"You are really the pillar of the country." Zhao Ning couldn't help but admire.

Zhao Ning lamented that as a person in the 21st century, he had never thought of such a simple principle before.

It seems that many things cannot be achieved casually. The development of human society is really a tortuous process.

"If your Majesty wants to know the actual use of this thing, you can go to Gokuyuan and I will demonstrate it for your Majesty."

"Have you brought any gunpowder?"

Chen Gui was stunned for a moment and said, "I'll take it with me."

"Then let's test it here."

"Absolutely not, this is the inner garden."

"It's okay, I allow you to test it here."

Stereotypes can only make people start testing.

Put the bullet in first, then pour the gunpowder into the powder chamber.

The man held a handle with one hand, and then used a fire breaker to light the fuse outside the gunpowder.

Gao Qiu looked at this scene with wide eyes and curiosity. He didn't know what he was doing.

When the match rope burns into the powder chamber, smoke is immediately produced, and the gunpowder burns over a large area in a short period of time.

With a muffled sound of "bang", a large amount of energy burst out and poured into the barrel of the gun, pushing the bullets inside to eject and impact the tree in front, leaving a mark.

That muffled sound made Gao Qiu jump in fright, and he quickly shouted: "Escort me! Protect me!"

"Captain Gao, there is no need to panic," Chen Gui said quickly.

Zhao Ning walked towards the tree and was stunned when he saw the gravel embedded in it.

This...this is a bit interesting.

A musket held by a single person?

The science and technology tree of Gewuyuan is a bit fierce!

"Your Majesty!" Gao Qiu ran over quickly, "It's dangerous here..."

Zhao Ning made a silent gesture. He was excited but also lost in thought.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Ning asked someone to bring over the commander's musket.

He held it in his hand, weighed it a few times, and said, "Is this copper?"

"yes."

"Can it be changed to iron?"

"I have tried some, but the smelting of iron still needs to be improved."

"It's best to change it to iron." Zhao Ning asked again, "Is this safe?"

"There is also the risk of the chamber exploding, but the number is currently small and cannot be predicted."

"It seems that it cannot be put into large-scale use yet."

"It does take some time to do more fine polishing."

"Okay, this thing is very good, but don't rush it now, polish it carefully." Zhao Ning returned the musket to Chen Gui, "You go down first, I will find you when I have time."

"I excuse myself."

After Chen Gui left, Zhao Ning sat back, looked at Gao Qiu, and asked, "What's the news lately?"

Gao Qiu said: "The ministers quarreled fiercely about the conquest of Goryeo."

"How intense?"

"The main war faction believes that this is an excellent period to expand the territory and complete the comprehensive restraint on the Jin Kingdom, while the main peace faction believes that this will cause a devastating blow to the Song Dynasty. Some even say that His Majesty is..."

Seeing Gao Qiu hesitating, Zhao Ning asked: "What?"
