"Du Zuo Yuan?" Wu Dong couldn't help but be startled. This was the first time he heard this name.
"Grand Governor, Duzuoyuan is the place where the imperial court specializes in manufacturing military weapons. The Duzuoyuan in Bianliang is the largest. Apart from Bianliang, there are also Duzuoyuan in other places. But the Duzuoyuan in other places can only produce a few
Swords, weapons, etc. Only the Duzuo Academy in Bianliang can make trebuchets, divine arm bows and other siege weapons." Gongsun Sheng said.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy to recruit people from Bianliang's Duzuo Yuan?" Wu Dong said.
"Not only is it not that easy, it is simply difficult. The craftsmen of Bianliang Duzuo Yuan are generally not allowed to leave Bianliang. Even if they are old and no longer work in Duzuo Yuan, they must stay in Bianliang City." Gongsun
Sheng smiled bitterly.
Wu Dong frowned slightly, thinking that all the craftsmen in the institute were "talented in urgent need of high-end wars". The Song Dynasty must have been very careful, and it was indeed difficult to recruit people. But there is nothing in this world that cannot be done.
With Liangshan's current military and financial resources, if we are determined to do this, we will definitely be able to do it.
"This matter is of great importance. Even if we have to pay a certain price, we must invite the craftsmen from the imperial capital to Korea. Grand Governor, I think this is one of the most important things for us at the moment." Hua Rong suddenly said,
road.
Wu Dong nodded and said: "I understand... Zhu Gui, leave this matter to you. Go to the Central Plains in person, and then join forces with Cao Zheng, Shi Xiu and others to enter Bianliang and strive to capture all of Bianliang."
The craftsmen from the craftsmanship academy are invited to come to Korea. Even if they use force and use all kinds of despicable means, they will get it done."
Zhu Gui is the director of the Intelligence Division of the Goryeo Theater, Cao Zheng is the director of the Intelligence Division of the Liangshan Theater, and Shi Xiu is the director of the newly established Intelligence Division of the Hedong Theater. These three people can be regarded as the current intelligence leaders of Liangshan, and they have mastered all the information in Liangshan.
intelligence strength. Wu Dong sent out all three of them, which can be regarded as a great effort.
Zhu Gui said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Governor, I will definitely invite the craftsmen from Duzuoyuan."
Wu Dong thought for a while and suddenly said: "Are there any craftsmen in Duzuoyuan who can make firearms or gunpowder?"
Gongsun Sheng said: "This must exist."
During the Song Dynasty, China's firearms and gunpowder technology had developed to a certain extent and were even used in actual combat. Craftsmen who could make firearms and gunpowder were also in the capital.
"Very good. When you go to Duzuoyuan, please invite craftsmen who know firearms and gunpowder to Korea. I will be of great use." Wu Dong said.
"Grand Governor, although firearms and gunpowder are novel, their power is very average." Gongsun Sheng frowned.
"I know this... but technology is always developing forward. Feel free to invite them, the more people the better," Wu Dong said.
Today's firearms and gunpowder technology are indeed very backward. Let alone today, even in a few hundred years, by the Ming Dynasty, firearms and gunpowder have developed a lot, but the officers and soldiers who possess firearms and gunpowder still cannot stop them from using their bare hands.
The peasant rebel army could not stop the Manchu cavalry from outside the Pass. It was not until the 19th century, after 1800, that with the rapid development of European natural science, the technology of firearms and gunpowder matured, and then slowly replaced
Cold weapons have led to the world entering the era of hot weapons.
It is only the 12th century, and it is impossible to defeat foreigners with firearms and gunpowder. Wu Dong did not study military industry, and he could not develop powerful firearms or gunpowder. He just came from later generations, and there is a strange way to use firearms and gunpowder.
I just wanted to see if I could make some improvements.
I'm afraid I can't research guns and the like, but "explosive packs" should be no problem.
In any case, Liangshan needs a variety of talents, and it would be best if the entire capital city could be moved there.
****
After this military aircraft meeting ended, Wu Dong realized that Liangshan had too many things to do.
The Goryeo War was a war that destroyed a country. Although this country was only equivalent to a province in the country, it also required a lot of pre-war preparations.
Only half a year is too short. We must race against time and not waste any time.
The affairs of the Duzuo Yuan were very important. After the military meeting, Wu Dong was still a little worried, so he called Zhu Gui to the Dudu Mansion and said: "Zhu Gui, you should set off as soon as possible and go to Bianliang. If there is a lack of experts,
Feel free to say it.”
Zhu Guidao: "There is no shortage of masters. The Grand Governor and the Twelve Shaolin monks are all in our intelligence department. They are all first-class masters. In addition, they also said that we can borrow the force of the Shaolin Temple when necessary.
Shaolin Temple is not far from Bianliang City. If you really need it, you can get there soon."
Wu Dong said: "That's good."
At this time, Zhu Gui suddenly said: "Grand Governor, I hope Wu Xuexiu can come with me."
Wu Dong was stunned and said: "Wu Yong? What do you want him to do?"
Zhu Guidao: "Xuegu Wu is smart by nature. If he is there to give guidance, it will be much easier to rescue those in Duzuoyuan."
Wu Dong thought about it and couldn't help but laugh. Wu Yong is indeed smart, especially in these matters. He has some clever ideas. He then said: "Okay, then I will inform Wu Yong and ask Wu Yong to go to Bianliang with you.
.”
Wu Yong is staying in the Operations Department at the moment. He is the director of the Operations Department. Now the Goryeo War is about to begin. As the director of the Operations Department, he is also responsible for formulating combat plans, which is a very important responsibility. As a result, Wu Dong assigned him
I called him over and asked him to go to Bianliang. He was stunned for a moment.
"Grand Governor...the combat department still needs me to be in charge," Wu Yong said.
"We don't need you in the combat department. With Hua Rong here, you won't be able to play any role. You should follow Zhu Gui to the Central Plains. The affairs of the Imperial Academy are also very important." Wu Dong said unceremoniously.
In fact, although Wu Yong is the director of the Operations Department, he is only in name. Hua Rong personally makes the specific battle plans. The last time he attacked Jeju Island, Wu Yong did not play any role.
Role. This time the Goryeo War was extremely important. Even if Wu Yong really wanted to play a role in the combat area, Wu Dong did not dare to let him stay there.
Wu Yong felt very unhappy and said: "Brother Zhu Gui can handle the affairs of Du Zuo Yuan. Why call me again?"
Wu Dong's face turned cold and he said: "So, you are not willing to accept the order from me as the Grand Governor?"
"Uh..." Wu Yong saw that Wu Dong was about to get angry, and he felt a little scared at the moment, and said: "Since it is the military order from the Grand Governor, then I will follow Zhu Gui to the Central Plains, but everything must be obeyed by me."
Before Wu Dong could speak, Zhu Gui had already said with a smile: "If Wu Xuexue has any good ideas, just say them and I will definitely listen to you."
Wu Yong then nodded and said: "Then we will leave in a few days."
Wu Yong had no choice but to leave Incheon City with Zhu Gui that afternoon. Accompanying them was the great Shaolin monk Cheng Guan and several other careful intelligence officers.
The boat was traveling very fast, and the scenery on the boat was still beautiful, but Wu Yong had no interest in looking at the scenery. Zhu Gui came to Wu Yong and said, "Wu Xuexue, are you asking for more help this time?"
Wu Yong looked unhappy and said, "Did you tell the Governor to let me go to the Central Plains with you?"
Zhu Gui laughed loudly and said: "I also think Mr. Wu is quite resourceful, so I asked Mr. Wu for help. If we go there, it will be really difficult to bring out those people from Duzuoyuan. With Wu,
Sir, I'm sure he can come up with some good ideas here."
Wu Yong was very pleased with what he said, and said: "In this case, I will help you just once."
Not one day later, Zhu Gui and Wu Yong returned to the Central Plains and arrived at Dengzhou Port. Here, they unexpectedly saw Cao Zheng, and they were overjoyed.
Originally, they came to see Cao Zheng and asked Cao Zheng to help with the affairs of the capital city. Now it would be best for Cao Zheng to be here.
"Brother Zhu Gui, Wu Xuexue, why did you return to the Central Plains?" Cao Zheng asked in surprise.
Cao Zheng was with Wu Dong some time ago, and he also knew that a war was about to break out in Goryeo. This was the time to hire people. Zhu Gui and Wu Yong had extremely important positions in Goryeo. How could they return to the Central Plains at this time?
"We are here under the military orders of the Governor-General, and we still need your cooperation," Zhu Gui said.
At that moment, General Zhu Gui took out the order and handed it to Cao Zheng. After reading it, Cao Zheng said: "I see, since it is a military order from the Governor's Office, I will definitely help you get it done."
Zhu Guidao: "Brother Cao, why are you not in Liangshanpo but in Dengzhou?"
Cao Zheng smiled and said: "I came here for business in Dengzhou..."
At that moment, Cao Zheng explained that it turned out that Liang Shanbo had a lot of business in Shandong, and now he was engaged in maritime trade. These were originally managed by Zhu Gui. After Zhu Gui went to Korea, Cao Zheng accepted these businesses and came to Dengzhou.
, mainly because there is a problem with the business here, so I came to understand the situation.
"What's wrong with Dengzhou's maritime trade?" Zhu Gui asked in surprise.
"I don't know. I just met Ruan Xiaowu and said that a ship of porcelain was robbed and the crew members have not returned. Ruan Xiaowu has asked the navy to help investigate. There should be no big problem." Cao Zhengdao.
Zhu Gui nodded and did not take this matter to heart. A mere ship of porcelain was too small compared to the affairs of Duzuoyuan and was not worth mentioning. He immediately said: "Brother Cao Zheng, the intelligence of the Central Plains is all over."
In your hands, how well do you understand Bianliang Duzuo Academy?"
Cao Zheng frowned and said, "I'm not sure either... We'll rush to Bianliang and act according to the opportunity."
Zhu Guidao: "Then set off quickly. The Goryeo War will begin in half a year, and ordnance is urgently needed now. We will try to use a month to invite those people from the Dou Zuo Yuan to Goryeo, and then try to make as much ordnance as possible in the remaining time.
"
