Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Zhao Ning said, "How many catapults can be placed on one city wall?"

Zhang Shuye replied: "If there is one three zhang, at least 600 can be placed, but it is not possible to put so many, the enemy will not attack the city from all directions."

"Then what do you think there are many things in a city wall?"

"It is enough to arrange 200."

"Then a total of 800 need to be arranged?"

"Yes."

"Okay, then follow this amount, no problem?" Zhao Ning asked Li Chong.

Li Chong's heart tightened, and he said, "I don't know how long the government will need these quantities?"

"Within a month."

"I'm afraid it will be a little tight within a month."

"I remember that there are a total of 5000 people in the East and West Workshop, and 3000 people in the Imperial Armory."

"Yes, there are indeed so many people, but 800 units are produced a month..."

"Where is your embarrassment, is there not enough manpower, or not enough raw materials?"

"The main reason is that the raw materials are not enough."

"What about a small trebuchet?"

Wang Si, the military supervisor on the side, said: "If it is a small trebuchet, it is feasible."

Zhao Ning's eyes lit up to this person, and he said, "Then make a small trebuchet, and it's not suitable to place a large trebuchet on the tower."

He asked again: "What's your name?"

"Chen Wang Si, the military supervisor and supervisor."

Oh, it turned out to be Wang Si!

Zhao Ning said, "Wang Boyan is your father?"

"It's my father."

Good guy, Wang Boyan was a well-known treacherous official at the turn of the Song Dynasty!

Wang Boyan was the magistrate of Xiangzhou at this time. More than a month ago, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan sent Kang Wang Zhaogou to the Jin Army camp, and was stopped by Zongze in Cizhou.

Zhao Gou turned around and went to Xiangzhou, where he stayed.

According to the development of official history, the city of Tokyo had already been breached at this time, and Zhao Gou was named the Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses. Shangqiu) proclaimed Emperor Jianyuan.

Among those who supported Zhao Gou as emperor was Wang Boyan, a treacherous minister of the surrender faction.

Having said that, Zhao Gou is in Xiangzhou at this time, and he should already be recruiting King Qin's army.

And Zong Ze of Cizhou should also be rectifying the troops, and the young Yue Fei should have already participated in it, and will soon join Zhao Gou's command, but he will not show his edge yet.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ning plans to go back and write a letter to Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang, give them a good analysis of the current situation, and encourage them to retreat north as soon as possible!

Seeing Wang Si in front of him, Zhao Ning suddenly remembered, as if in history Wang Si was captured by the Jin people to the north after the Tokyo city was destroyed, and Wang Boyan paid a lot of money to redeem his son.

"Then these 800 trebuchets will be handed over to you. Do you dare to accept this task?"

"The minister leads the order!"

"And the catapult I want is not just a catapult, I want it to be combined with a cannon."

Chapter 34 I want to make the artillery of the Great Song Dynasty

Catapults combined with artillery were also very common in the Song Dynasty.

After all, firearms had already appeared in the Song Dynasty, and gunpowder was used in large quantities on the battlefield.

For example, the iron artillery of the Jin Army was imitated from the Song Dynasty.

Li Chong and Wang seemed not surprised either.

Wang Si said: "Officials, there are military weapons supervision now."

"how many?"

"I counted about 8456 pieces seven days ago."

"You mean Thunderbolt?"

"Yes."

"This is far from enough. There are 800 trebuchets, and each trebuchet is equipped with 200 pieces, which is 16 pieces."

When the emperor said this, Li Chong and Wang Si were shocked.

Li Chong said: "Officials, this... this is probably beyond the limit of tolerance."

"Lack of raw materials?"

When Zhao Ning said this, he didn't look at Li Chong, but Wang Si.

Wang Si said: "Officials, this number is indeed very large, but I can try my best to find a way. I may need the assistance of the Ministry of Industry."

"It doesn't matter, you can get any assistance you want, you hand over what I want, and I will give you what you want."

Zhao Ning likes to deal with people like Wang Si, and it's easy to talk about things.

One thing is bound to encounter many problems. If the subordinates think that this is impossible as soon as they raise the problem, it will really be a headache.

Why do some people work for a lifetime and can't get promoted?

It's just blocking your own way.

Why do some people rise so fast?

Because what these people think in their minds is not the difficulty, but the solution.

You said that now that the 15 Jin army is besieging the city, is it difficult for the Song Dynasty?

Difficult!

Zhao Ning is now facing such a situation, in hell mode, leading a group of civil servants who only know to open their mouths all day long, and more forbidden troops who have never been on the battlefield to resist the most powerful army on this planet.

What could be more difficult than this?

But he didn't say anything, and he didn't say it's over, don't guard everyone.

Instead, they tried every means to resist the physical and psychological attacks of Jin Jun.

Then rectify internally, unite all parties, and unify externally.

When a man faces difficulties, he should go straight to them!

Wang Si said: "The minister is in command, and the minister must do his best!"

"Okay!" Zhao Ning patted Wang Si on the shoulder.

Wang Boyan is a shameless capitulator, but he didn't expect his son to be pretty good.

"How about other armaments, armor, iron bones, knives, swords, helmets, and arrow clusters."

Li Chong said: "Reporting to the official family, there are still 10 pieces of armor, 6 iron bones, 20 knives and 400 swords each, and [-] million arrow clusters."

"Oh, take me to see the armor."

"Officials, the armor is well stored. It will take a while to unpack it to see it."

"It's okay, I'm here today, I have plenty of time."

Li Chong said again: "It's better for the officials to look at the fire first."

"also."

The fire work he mentioned is the place where firearms are manufactured.

When it comes to Huozuo, Zhao Ning always feels that something is wrong, is it so difficult to see a piece of armor?

He did not continue to ask Li Chong, but visited Huozuo.

At this time, a person came over.

"The minister sees the official family."

"You came."

"I don't know what's the matter with the official Xuanchen?"

"Nothing else, just want to invite you to visit the workshop of the Armament Supervisor with me today." Zhao Ning glanced at this person.

This person is the famous minister at the turn of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ding!

Zhao Ding, Zhao Xianggong, the head of the four ministers of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty.

If Zhao Ding was not a capable minister, then there would be no capable ministers at the turn of the Song Dynasty.

It can be said that in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, he helped Zhao Gou stabilize the entire internal affairs and balance the quarrels among the various factions.

This person's decision-making ability is outstanding, and the three views are awe-inspiring.

He Li's chancellor position is vacant, and Zhao Ning has not appointed anyone.

why?

Because it was left to Zhao Ding.

At this time, Zhao Ding was still Cao Kaifeng.

Cao, a Kaifeng mansion official, is a minor official in personnel affairs, that is, the person who signs and seals for registration in the official roster when the personnel is appointed or dismissed.

Zhao Ding was puzzled, he didn't know why the officials suddenly announced him today, and called him directly to the workshop of the military supervisor.

He didn't ask any more questions, just said: "Yes."

"Zhao Ding, come, come here."

"Officials."

"Come and see, this is Thunderbolt." Zhao Ning took one, and the people around were startled.

Li Chong said quickly: "Officials be careful."

"I'm afraid, it won't explode by itself."

Zhao Ning handed Zhen Tianlei to Zhao Ding and said, "I plan to let them make 16 pieces of this thing, what do you think?"

Zhang Shuye on the side was thinking in his heart that it was very strange for the officials to summon Zhao Ding suddenly at this moment, and he asked Zhao Ding such a question again.

It seems that the officials want to reuse Zhao Ding!

"The number of 16 pieces is huge. I don't know much about the affairs of the Military Weapons Supervision, so I dare not make a conclusion."

Zhao Ning said: "There are nearly 1000 people in the workshops under the Military Weapons Supervision, and there are currently more than [-] people in Huozuo."

When Zhao Ding heard it, the emperor was determined to let him answer.

Zhao Ding said: "From this point of view, the number of people is still a little tight. If we want to ensure the completion, we can deploy some people from the military and civilians."

Zhao Ning didn't make any statement, just looked at Wang Si, and said: "Did you hear that, Zhao Shicao gave you an idea, dispatching people from the army and civilians, and you will write out the specific execution planning documents tomorrow. Then give one to me, one to Uncle Ye, one to Zhao Shicao, how many people you need, how much money you need, and how you need the Ministry of Industry to cooperate with you, you must write clearly."

"If you don't write it clearly, I won't recognize it."

Wang Si immediately said, "I understand."

Why write clearly?

To do anything, you must first make a plan, especially to complete one thing in a team.

If there is no plan, everyone will be in a mess, and things will be messed up, and there will be no documents for the review and summary.

This is project management.

Why is it said that Zhao Ding is a talent? He is a top expert in this area.

Zhao Ning took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "Wang Si."

"The minister is here."

"Let's take a look, can this weapon supervisor make it?"

Wang Si took the paper from the emperor's hand.

This is a rough sketch of a painting, with a thick cylinder sitting behind it on a stand with two wheels.
