Chapter 349 Pretend to be a ghost, I believe in your ghost!
Zhao Gou's core is a very standard modern person. Even though he encountered the most fantasy things, he no longer knew magic and had not become an immortal. Therefore, he had to pretend to be a god and use his magic to increase his political capital. That was still the knowledge in his mind.
Imaging a small hole is enough to achieve great things.
He asked someone to invite Lan Gui, Kang Lu, Han Gongyi and others to give orders one by one.
Then in just two days, everything was ready.
On the evening of the day, a loud noise suddenly came out, shaking the entire Cizhou City. Just as Zong Ze and other soldiers and civilians in the city stood up one after another, panicked and thought that the Jin army had come quietly, many light columns suddenly lit up above Zhao Gou's residence in the north of the city.
This is a scene that many people have never seen in their lifetime.
In the dark night sky, suddenly, beams of light falling from the sky shot downwards (the principle of searchlights), and the brighter and more obvious it became, and they all gathered to Zhao Gou's residence.
No one else said anything, but only said that Zong Ze and Zhao Bushi (representative Wang Boyan) were thumping in their hearts.
Then, an illusory figure suddenly flashed in the sky, vaguely unable to see clearly, but she wore an iron crown on her head, held an iron whip in her hand, and rode a black tiger on her mount. Although it was also vaguely blurred, it could make people see clearly. At least she would actively associate such an image after seeing it.
The phantom golden light lasted for a cup of tea above Zhao Gou's residence before disappearing.
Zong Ze and Zhao Bushi had already arrived at Zhao Gou's residence, and Wang Yun, Geng Yanxi, Gao Shize and others had arrived earlier, but they were all stopped outside the residence by Lan Gui and Zeng Ze.
"This magical thing is not allowed to invade."
Lan Gui directly called on the soldiers to block the people, and Zhao Gou scattered most of his official certificates to the Li family, Lan family and Tian family. The three families drew another strong group of hundreds of people to serve as Zhao Gou's guards, guarding Zhao Gou's residence day and night.
He just listened to Zhao Gou's orders and ignored Wang Yun and others. The latter did not dare to really attack Zhao Gou's place where he stayed.
It was not until dawn that Zhao Gou came to see Wang Yun, Zong Ze, Zhao Bushi, etc. with a refreshing spirit. He opened his mouth and said that the little king had his ancestors' dreams and gave him a powerful weapon to destroy the Jin thieves, so as to help him drive out the Tartars, restore the lost land, and protect the throne of the reign of the throne. This was the prosperity of the great Song Dynasty's martial arts fortune.
As for which ancestors gave their dreams, it was of course the only emperor who was named a god in all dynasties, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Jiutian Siming, the Heavenly Master, Zhao Xuanlang. The manipulation from Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty.
In order to suppress the slander of the Tanyuan Alliance in the court and the public, and to suppress the inauthenticity of his father Zhao Er and his opinion on replacing his brother's successor to the throne, Song Zhenzong directed and acted in a big drama in the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu. There was auspiciousness on this side, magical on the other side, and then the hugely fantastic Fengshan Taishan.
The credibility of the old story of "Taishan Fengshan" was completely overdrawn. After that, there were so many great masters who had been dynasties who had been very fond of merit, but no one thought about Fengshan Mount Tai anymore. It was really that Emperor Zhenzong of Song was so ugly.
And that was not over. In October of the fifth year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1012), he told Prime Minister Wang Dan and others that he dreamed that God of Haotian ordered the ancestors of Zhao to grant him a heavenly letter. The ancestors of Zhao claimed that they were one of the nine human emperors and were reincarnated as Emperor Xuanyuan. In the Later Tang Dynasty, they were ordered by God and came to the world on July 1st. They ruled the Zhao clan and ruled the lower realm, named Zhao Xuanlang, the Heavenly Lord of Jiutian Siming.
In October of that year, Emperor Zhenzong of Song once again respected Zhao Xuanlang's wife as the Queen of the Great Sage of Yuantian.
There is really no one else in this operation.
As a god, Zhao Xuanlang has been circulating in the world for hundreds of years, and his image has gradually changed toward the God of Wealth.
It can drive away thunder and lightning, eliminate plagues and disasters, uphold justice, and seek wealth and good fortune.
The personal image is black-faced and thick beard, wearing an iron crown, holding an iron whip, and riding a black tiger. Therefore, it is also called the "Black Tiger Xuantan".
I believe in your ghost!
Zong Ze, Zhao Bushi, Wang Yun and others all looked half-believing and half-doubted, half-doubted because they really didn't know how Zhao Gou made this trick; half-doubted was because if this matter was true, it would not have a small impact on the Song Dynasty. Even if Zhao Gou kept saying that he wanted to protect the Holy Emperor of the Song Dynasty, no one really believed what he said.
But it doesn't matter whether they believe or not. What's important is that the military and civilians in Cizhou believe it without doubt, which is enough.
When the news spread, the recruitment places where Zhao Gou asked people to erect outside the city were filled with countless heads. His prestige also rose sharply like a rocket.
And as the news continues to spread, this will greatly contribute to his personal prestige among the military and civilians and his authority to govern the military.
In particular, Zhao Gou announced that he would practice a powerful weapon in the Chengdong University Campus in three days, which made the military and civilians in Cizhou cheer and cheer.
Even Zong Ze and Zhao Bushi were very surprised. No matter whether the magical thing was true or false, they only talked about this powerful weapon. Since King Kang had blown away the cowhide and dared to practice in front of everyone, then it was probably not fake.
Just when Zong Ze was very curious about this weapon, Han Gongyi came. He took out a drawing from his arms and said, "Zong Xianggong, there are already slaughter in Cizhou City. Now you only need to make a little change. I believe my husband will be done within three days."
Zong Ze was not a person who knew nothing about military affairs. When he saw the drawings, he was stunned at first, frowned and thought for a while, and then he looked overjoyed.
"Okay, okay, this is a powerful weapon. I dare to ask the king to rest assured. Three days later, the old minister will definitely improve his subordinates' cannons."
This thing has a large box with counterweight and a gallows, but it can save countless manpower. Moreover, because the counterweight is the same and the difference in strength seems to be, the range and landing point are mostly inseparable. Compared with the Song army's multi-shot cannon, it is a great progress in epoch-making!
Han Gongyi smiled and knew that Zong Ze had made the mistake, but he didn't explain much. He went back and told Zhao Gou that the latter also understood the meaning.
If you wait three days later, you will definitely give Zong Ze a greater surprise!
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. In the camp of the east of the city, Zhao Gou laughed and moved a basket of wooden vine-covered thunder to the field. Zong Ze and Zhao Bushi waited until then to realize that the counterweight catapult car that was shocking in his eyes was just a big deal. The real protagonist was the thunder in front of him.
The wooden shell is used as a carrier, and the outer frame is framed with a rattan cover, which is to prevent the wooden shell from falling to the ground and breaking.
The wooden shell can naturally be filled with powder or crushed iron and gravel. Each thunder is about ten kilograms, and it can be cast at one time.
Twenty counterweight catapults were launched together, and the crackling thunder thunder scattered all over the sky, and the hundreds of steps of the radius that had been wrapped with red ropes in advance were annihilated.
The range of this counterweight catapult is much higher than that of the nine-pin cannon. However, the nine-pin cannon requires hundreds of soldiers, but the current counterweight stone cannon requires only a few soldiers.
Which one is better and which one is worse is clear at a glance.
Not to mention that when the crackling thunders hit the ground, orange-red explosions rose, and a sound of deafening sounds came out, and large areas of black smoke rolled into the sky.
It seems like the mountains collapsed and the ground broke...
A huge explosion swept across like a tide, and the fierce sound waves tear almost all the onlookers' eardrums into pieces!
In the entire colony, whether it was the army or the people, whether it was Wang Yun or Zong Ze, or Zhao Bushi, they were all stunned. They really felt the earth trembling.
After a few seconds, the shaking of the ground stopped.
Many of the military and civilians around the school ground fell to the ground in a mess, which was really more attractive than thunder. Some individuals got up in a very embarrassing manner, looking left and right for fear that their embarrassment would be seen.
But the soldiers and civilians present were all watching the test site after the smoke dissipated.
Everyone opened their mouths wide, their brains were blank, shocked, and extremely shocked. Even those who had experienced the Northern Expedition of Xuan and the Northern Expedition were deeply shocked by the explosion scene in front of them!
Hundreds of pigs and sheep all fell to the ground, many of which were torn into pieces in the explosion. The pig legs and sheep heads were scattered everywhere.
When the rolling smoke of gunpowder dissipates, people can see blood stained in the red circle, and all pigs and sheep are scattered on the ground, many of which are broken, or they are left with half of their bodies, or they are short of legs and heads.
Some pigs, lamb legs and feet were thrown away from a long way.
There was not even a living creature screaming.
Zong Ze couldn't speak even after opening his mouth several times. The effect was really much stronger than the medicine powder in Cizhou. If he hadn't heard Kang Wang say it was medicine powder with his own ear, he wouldn't have linked the two to everything.
However, Zong Ze was Zong Ze after all, so he immediately thought that King Kang had asked for a lot of saltpeter sulfur from him early on, so he quickly came up with an inference in his heart that the magical thing was indeed fake.
"The old minister dares to ask the king what his ambition is?"
After returning to his residence amid the cheers of the military and civilians in Cizhou, Zong Ze immediately changed his face and asked Zhao Gou very seriously.
If this matter is bad, the impact is no less than the Jin army's invasion in the south. Although the current situation is to resist the Jin Dynasty and defend the king, and although Zhao Gou has established a high influence by using magic and the scene in the school, Zong Ze still needs to ask clearly.
"Zong Xianggong has been worried about it. Someone's ambition has been stated before, and there has been no change!"
Zhao Gou said it firmly, he really never thought of becoming an emperor.
But how could Zong Ze trust him easily?
The throne of the Nine Five is right in front of you. It’s nonsense to lie, and you can’t take it seriously if you point to the heaven and the earth.
Throughout history, how many tragic events have happened between father and son fighting each other for this chair?
But he also closed his mouth for a moment.
No matter what Zhao Gou will happen in the future, it is enough for people to say so now. The most important thing now is to resist Jin. In order to ensure the morale of the entire Hebei military, it is obvious that it is best not to reveal a word to the outside.
At this time, Hou Zhang, the guard of the Pavilion, came from the capital with a wax book.
Zhao Gou was ordered to send all the troops in Hebei and ordered the guards to be the generals.
He urged Zhao Gou to cavalry as soon as possible and asked the chiefs of the prefectures in various places to be military generals. In addition, Hou Zhang brought Zhao Huan's oral letters, and King Kang Pi Zhongshu's sons accompanied him, and he could pass on orders and draft edicts at a cheap price.
This is how to truly hand over the power to Zhao Gou.
Zhao Gou actually obtained the power to draft an edict and issue orders.
He is like a little emperor.
Then immediately appoint Zhao Bushi, Geng Yanxi and Gao Shi as the senator of the Grand Marshal's Office, Zhang Xu, the Hebei Transport Transport Transport Transport Transport Transportation Commissioner, Huang Qian, the deputy envoy of Jingdong Transport Transportation Commissioner and the Gaoyang Pass Road Pacification Commissioner, Huang Qian, the deputy envoy of the Grand Marshal's Office, and the deputy envoy of the Grand Marshal's Office. Liang Yang Zu, the senator of the Grand Marshal's Office, followed the military transport envoy; Yang Yuan, Wang Qizhi, Qin Baixiang and other guys were also all engaged in office work. Han Gongyi, Lan Gui, Kang Lu, Zeng Ze, and Yang Gongshu were in charge of confidential texts, so that the officials of the Grand Marshal's Office were basically established.
Then he issued an edict to the counties to raise troops to defend the king. He asked to "exit the prefectures, if the command is issued on a daily basis, he will be dealt with initiating the army. Except for the number of local tyrants to be recruited by local tyrants, he will be fined. The soldiers should be elite and agile, recruit strong and brave children from strong families, and be able to serve as warriors, and be united in color, and still not be allowed to carry the elderly, weak and sick people to count."
At the same time, the news that King Kang obtained the surrender method of his ancestors and granted the magical thunder method to destroy the Jin thief completely fermented in a short period of time.
