636. November 21, five years
The most shocking part of the military parade is the emergence of this artillery phalanx, which represents the climax of this military parade.
More than a hundred cannons of different types passed under the viewing platform under the drag of war horses, and their shock was far higher than the appearance of any previous military.
This represents the highest casting level of this era, the strongest combat power of the Song Dynasty, and the formal overlap of the era of hot and cold weapons.
The most shocking thing is undoubtedly the giant cannon. Its cannon tube can allow an adult woman to drill in from the front, and its height is almost parallel to the viewing platform.
In this era, its casting itself is a miracle. Even if it is not very useful, it is already an insurmountable mountain in the enemy's heart when it is rolled up by a black painted cannon.
It is precisely because of its appearance that the content of the military parade at the back became boring, and everyone's eyes were focused on the giant cannon, which was undoubtedly the champion of today's beauty pageant.
After the last float passed, the process should be that the emperors of Song and Liao countries held a ceremony for worshiping the sky during the Song and Beiyun period. Three thousand dancers began to appear around, including eight literary dynasties, two martial dynasties, and thousands of imperial guards shouted trumpets and beat drums. The atmosphere instantly reached its peak.
"I'm going to sacrifice to the emperor for heaven. You can sit here and rest."
Song Beiyun whispered to the Buddha Baonu, then got up and walked around the front viewing platform, changed into sacrificial dresses behind him, and took officials from all levels of Song and Liao to wait for the dance team at the left entrance of the square.
The prince of Runan, who had a unique golden mask of Liao Kingdom hanging behind him, leaned over and said to Song Beiyun: "Brother-in-law, don't blame me. Those contracts were asked by His Majesty to give to her. I can't do anything about it, and these things had to be shown to her."
"How can I not know her?" Xiao Song turned his head and whispered to him: "It's not your business, she should torture me next."
The prince of Runan looked at the back of Song Beiyun's head and sighed: "Brother-in-law, I have a prescription for strengthening my body, look..."
"I'm strong, do you want that thing?"
"Yes, yes..." The prince of Runan shrank his neck: "Just pretend I didn't say it."
But not long after, Song Beiyun's head leaned back and asked in a low voice: "There are no side effects, right?"
"That must be nothing. When the son is not busy, I will have Qiaoqiao send it to my brother-in-law."
"Um."
Song Beiyun responded, and then stopped making any more noise. At this time, the team almost outside also arrived at the predetermined position. The commander in front waved the flag at them. Song Beiyun quickly took his hat and led the team out like a red-bellied pheasant.
The military parade was not open to the public, but there were still countless people gathering at both ends. They squeezed there and stretched their necks, waiting for batches of teams to come out. The military parade lasted for nearly two hours. They squatted at both ends and watched the excitement throughout the whole process. It was also a pleasure to watch the retreating young soldiers lined up to return to the camp.
Of course, more people are trying to see the cannon displayed in the western section of the square, especially the giant cannon. Because it is a public display, anyone can touch it, so everyone is full of appetite today.
However, there are still many people who do not know the use of cannons and are discussing whisperingly.
Among these people discussing, there are naturally no foreigners in Chang'an City.
"Little Princess, look at this, are you afraid?"
Those girls are here today. After all, they are all girls who are under 20 years old. It is natural to love fun. Moreover, the college is on holiday today, so it is not uncommon to appear here.
They were naturally attracted by the giant cannon, but because they couldn't squeeze in, they could only watch from a distance. As they looked, they naturally couldn't help but tease the little princess.
"Not afraid." The little princess shook her head firmly: "I won't fight anymore, my husband said."
"Your husband, your husband, you are all day long. That's obviously everyone's husband, okay?"
The little princess finally knew that she could not call her husband and should be called her husband. Moreover, most people could not bear this title. She had to be a famous and high-ranking official and could be called this. The prime minister of the dynasty was also a husband, and she could gradually distinguish these things.
"Hmph, I won't argue with you." The little princess clapped her hands: "When I climb over and see the iron pipe."
"It's not easy to climb." The friend next to her grabbed her: "There are so many soldiers next to her who will catch you."
"They dare not." The little princess lifted her sleeves: "I must climb."
But just as she was about to climb over the wall to play with cannons, she suddenly sang in front of her, "His Majesty the Emperor of Liao is here."
Then hundreds of guards separated the crowd, and then the Buddha Baonu, wearing a black dragon robe, walked slowly through the crowd. Her expression was solemn and solemn, with a strong aura.
Chang'an County and Wannian County are now the largest emperors of the Liao Kingdom, and Chang'an Wannian are both co-governance counties, so the Song soldiers who were responsible for guarding cannons here retreated to both sides after receiving the order.
Behind Fo Baonu was envoys from various countries, one of whom was the little princess's mother's brother, that is, her uncle. She immediately turned her head, covered her face with her hands, and called her friends to leave quickly.
But Fo Baonu couldn't care about so many people. Only these cannons of different shapes were left in her eyes. After she had truly seen the power of cannons, she realized with her own eyes that the cannons of Song had developed to this point, while the cannons of Liao were still so simple.
Song Beiyun, damn it!
When she walked to the well-deserved cannon king, Fo Baonu gently raised his chin and looked up, and found that the cannon was three feet tall and huge. An adult man was like a baby in a cradle under it.
The black muzzle was facing the sky, and there were three shells on the cannon stand for samples. Although the shell was just an empty shell, Fo Baonu compared it and it was almost as tall as himself...
Thinking that the shells as thick as a fist on his side could blow the enemy upside down, what would this... be the size of a human?
Fo Baonu's heart thumped up, and she secretly made up her mind that she could pay any price for this cannon, and as long as the dog talked, she would do anything.
"People come to introduce the purpose of these cannons to Your Majesty."
The female official next to Fo Baonu has changed, not Han Ji anymore. It seems that Han Ji is now in charge of road traffic affairs, and the new female official is obviously not as calm as Han Ji, and she is a little whispering.
Hearing her shout, Fo Baonu turned around in dissatisfaction and said seriously: "No need, I will question Song Beiyun."
The female official lowered her head and responded. She obviously felt the displeasure of Fo Baonu, but she couldn't say where she caused the displeasure.
Seeing her confusion, Fo Baonu was immediately angry. She no longer paid attention to the female official, but just waited quietly in the cannon formation, waiting for Song Beiyun's arrival.
Sure enough, Song Beiyun, who had finished the sacrifice, arrived here soon. He had not changed his dress and was about to speak when the female official started talking again: "Song Beiyun, why don't you come and explain to Your Majesty!"
Song Beiyun had a smile on his face, but after hearing her words, his face turned cold on the spot. He stood there and looked at Fo Baonu and then at the female official behind her. Then the smile on his face was once again on his lips.
Fo Baonu bit his teeth to death at this time, and waved his hand: "Get out, I'll talk to Lord Song alone."
"His Majesty."
"Get out!" Fo Baonu's voice became sharp: "Get out!"
Soon, the guards of the Liao Kingdom scattered to the periphery and surrounded the cannon formation. Only Fo Baonu and Song Beiyun were left in the center.
"Where did you find such a bastard?" Song Beiyun walked beside Fo Baonu with his hands behind his back: "Does she know who she is talking to?"
"I'll let her feed the pigs when I go back." Fo Baonu laughed out loud: "I'm so scared that I'm so scared. If you suddenly lose your temper, I don't know what to do."
"How can I take care of my Anu's face." Xiao Song chuckled: "But she is also very brave, and she dares to call me my name."
"Don't worry, you won't see her next time." Fo Baonu slapped Song Beiyun's butt while the person was not paying attention, and then pointed at the cannon: "Give this to me."
"What do you want this thing to do?" Song Beiyun looked helpless: "This is something to scare people."
"Give it to me..."
"I can't give it." Xiao Song sighed, "This thing weighs nearly 100,000 kilograms, how can you bring it back? Also, how did he go to the battlefield during the war? There is no car that can pull it. Even if you can pull it, the bridges and the ground can't bear it, and it can't be used at all. This thing is temporarily used to set off fireworks, and there are these shells... Let me tell you the truth, I didn't make shells at all."
Song Beiyun spread his hands and said innocently: "This is a fake move."
Fo Baonu also pointed at the shell next to the cannon with doubt, meaning "Are you thinking I'm blind?"
"Hi." Song Beiyun shook his head and walked up to pat the shell: "It's just an empty shell. This shell has an empty casting technology, but the charging technology does not meet the requirements. Because it is too big and too heavy, it will be triggered after the medicine is loaded. If it is forced to trigger, it will explode."
Song Beiyun didn't lie, and he made a cannon, but he had guns but no bullets. This thing is just a theoretical verification and show off his skills. The rest are really useless.
"So that's it, you can't lie to me." Fo Baonu pointed at Song Beiyun: "Did you hear it?"
"What is the point of lying to you?" Song Beiyun came to a light cannon with his hands behind his back: "This cannon is suitable for you. It is called the Shunde Sanqin Mountain Cannon. Its body tube is 12 times the caliber, the maximum firing angle is 30 degrees, and the range is between two and three miles. The main reason is that it is light and powerful, and the technology is mature, and the Liao Kingdom can carry out production line installation."
"Shunde!? Why don't you use the name of my Liao Kingdom?"
Xiao Song looked at her like a mentally retarded person: "Baby, is it good for you to reason?"
Fo Baonu also realized that she had said brainless words... but she refused to admit defeat, and snorted and raised her hands on her back: "Then why don't you introduce other cannons?"
"You can't maintain other cannons." Xiao Song shook his head and walked to the edge of a larger cannon: "This is an eight-inch inch in Shunde. It has a more complex structure, a larger weight, a higher loading failure rate, and the Liao Kingdom cannot install a production line. For you, then you will say that I'll cheat you of money."
Fo Baonu was actually a little unhappy. She looked up at Song Beiyun: "Why are the best left to Song? If the Song people use these to bombard your son one day, can you close your eyes safely?"
"There won't be that day." Song Beiyun shook his head and said, "My plan is not easy to talk to you, and I didn't tell anyone. But I will definitely arrange everything before I die."
Fo Baonu shook his cloak and turned around and walked out. Song Beiyun quickly ran forward and grabbed her hand, but she threw it away.
"You clearly didn't regard me as your own person." Fo Baonu angrily rebuked: "Let's hear what nonsense you are talking about!"
Xiao Song didn't know how to explain, so he stood there scratching his head: "Give me some time."
"how long?"
"It will definitely not be too long. What I want is a complete and unified China. I don't want another dispute between princes after my death."
"What princes, I am the emperor, I am ordered by heaven!"
"Yes, yes, you are the emperor."
Xiao Song sighed. He knew that the contradiction about this ideology was of no use, and he was actually a little sorry for Fo Baonu and Liao Kingdom.
"Song Beiyun, remember that your son and I must live and die with the Liao Kingdom at any time. If one day your cannon explodes on your son, no matter whether you are still alive or not, you are not worthy of being a human being!" Fo Baonu shook off his hand and left angrily.
Song Beiyun did not chase him, but just squatted on the ground and worried. If there were fewer conflicts outside, the conflicts inside would inevitably appear. This is the law of the world! God is just a lifelong life.
God!
At the beginning, things were not so complicated, but as time went on, things would become more complicated and uncontrollable. Song Beiyun knew that his ideal was the right route, but many things were really uncontrollable.
Especially in this state, he wants to give two emperors and two countries an explanation at the same time.
It is true that he does not need to flatter any emperor or lick carbuncles and hemorrhoids, but it is precisely this way that he is really hard to deal with. He knows how much power Zhao Xing gave him. It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Song Dynasty was placed on the side of Song Beiyun. And there is no need to say that the prince of Liao is the future emperor, and that is his own son!
