If you could, Downing would love to ask the three people present, have you ever done a roller coaster.

It's the kind that suddenly reaches a height of tens of meters in the sky, then suddenly falls, and then falls back into the sky......

I heard that the reason for coming to me was not because of Zeng Fan's matter, and Tang Ning was surprised enough. Now that he learned that Zhao Xu was actually looking for him for this matter, Tang Ning was even more surprised.

I was still thinking about whether to fight for the position of being the chief eunuch, so that I could always be by my family's side in Kaifeng.

A few months after Tang Wen was born, Tang Ning left his wife and children. It wasn't until four years later that he came back, and Tang Wen didn't dare to admit himself until today.

Four or five-year-old children don't have very good memories, and Downing doesn't want to repeat such a thing.

And most importantly......

Standing up from the chair, Tang Ning knelt down on one knee and said, "Official, you said that you would send Weichen to ask for Jiaozhi, and Weichen naturally didn't have half an opinion.

To be able to serve the official family, no matter where you are, no matter what kind of task you are, it is an honor for Wechen......"

"The stinky boy really knows how to talk......" Zhang muttered quietly.

Zeng Bu nodded in agreement.

"However, the official family, Weichen is still the commander of the Zhenjiang Army and the Mabu Army. Taking into account the practical factors, the number of troops needed to break through the Jiaozhi country should be at least 30,000 or 50,000.

But now the Zhenjiang army is full, and it is only 2,500 people. Even when they fought against the party members on the border before, the number of people was only 30,000 at most.

Even so, does the official family have to send Weichen there? ”

Tang Ning finished speaking in one go, feeling smug in his heart. His own statement is reasonable, and Zhao Xu is not an unreasonable person, he will definitely be able to agree with his statement, let's go to another person!

And in the end, this question was really too quintessential, and he threw the question to Zhao Xu again, not only euphemistically expressing his reluctance to go, but also letting Zhao Xu decide whether this candidate was due to Shen Kuo, Lu Huiqing, and the old foxes he had met along the way.

If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be where I am today!

Just when Tang Ning was thinking so, Zhao Xu nodded and said without the slightest hesitation: "Yes, I still have to send you to me to feel at ease." ”

"......," Tang Ning was speechless for a moment.

Zhang fanned the flames on the side and said: "General Tang has never been defeated since he led the troops, and it is really reassuring to send General Tang on such an important matter as the conquest of Jiaozhi!" ”

Zeng Bu would definitely not be able to say such words, but Zhao Xu had already told the two of them that he had decided to let Tang Ning go, so Zeng Bu did not say anything against it, and when Zhang finished speaking, he nodded silently in agreement.

But in his heart, there was still a little worry. Just like the engineers of later generations, the older the engineer, the more experienced and reassuring it is.

Can Tang Ning, a general who is only twenty-four years old, be able to carry such a heavy burden?

"But ......" Tang Ning still wanted to work hard, but in front of Zhao Xu, who had already decided, all his efforts were in vain.

Waving his hand, Zhao Xu interrupted Tang Ning's words and said, "No need, it's decided." You are short of major generals, I will make up for you. Make sure that at least 10,000 people will follow you when you set off from Kaifeng.

As for the other 40,000 people, someone will naturally make up for you when you arrive in Qinzhou.

In the fourth year of Taining, Li Qiande conquered the three prefectures of Yong, Qin, and Lian of our Holy Dynasty, and although peace was negotiated and tribute was as before, I couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.

The small country of Puer also dared to offend the Holy Dynasty, and it was time to teach them a lesson. Zhao Xu said angrily.

You just want someone's treasure...... Tang Ning looked at Zhao Xu, full of suspicion.

"All in all, you should be well prepared when you go back. During the month that the experiment was underway, the Privy Council had nothing to do with you. You just spend time with your family at home and go to the barracks once in a while to see how things are going.

Also, maybe in the next month, there will be soldiers entering the Zhenjiang Army, you go back in a while, go to the barracks to explain the situation to your subordinates, and make a training plan for new soldiers. Zeng Bu followed Zhao Xu's words.

“……”

After Zeng Bu finished speaking, Zhao Xu smiled again: "That official of the Imperial City Division, after coming back to report me, he went to look for you again, I'm afraid I want you to go to Luzhou to solve the problem of that bandit."

After all, you made such a powerful gunpowder, and if you deal with it, it should be easier for you to solve this thorny problem......

Anyone with such a thing as gunpowder can find it tricky......

"But I won't force you to do this, it's up to you to decide whether to go or not." Zhao Xu said with a smile: "My suggestion is that you don't go first, if after a month, the problem has not been solved, on your way south, you will just pass through Luzhou, and then you can solve this matter." ”

One month? The surrounded Zhao Ren and they all starved to death, what was the use of going by themselves?

And just like that, in this inexplicable atmosphere, the conversation ended. Tang Ning was also politely driven out of Wende Hall by Zhao Xu, leaving him to discuss political affairs with Zhang and Zeng Bu.

was led out of the palace by the guards, and Lin Wei outside the palace had been waiting in the carriage for a long time.

So far, Tang Ning, who still has a sense of clouds and mountains and fog, still said to Lin Wei after getting into the carriage that he would go to the military camp first.

Kaifeng is a very large city, and the permanent population of the city in this era was about one million. From this number, you can

It is very intuitive to feel the prosperity of Kaifeng and the area of the city.

Forty-five miles west of the city is the place where the Kaifeng garrison is stationed.

Although there are about 30,000 troops in Kaifeng City, these alone are obviously not enough.

In the event of any large-scale riots, 30,000 people may still be a bit stretched.

What's more, under the wonderful policy of the Song Dynasty, half of the forbidden army of the entire Great Song Dynasty was here in Kaifeng. Living in the city is definitely not inhabitable, it is not good for economic development, and it occupies space.

Therefore, forty-five miles west of the city, the Song court set aside a large area as the activity area of the army.

There were 300,000 Song troops stationed here, and compared to them, the Zhenjiang army, which had less than 2,000 people, was too inconspicuous.

The third watch gets up, and the fifth watch goes to court. After talking about things, it was already hours.

Hurried to the barracks, and when I arrived, it was already an hour later.

After checking that Tang Ning's identity was correct, the forbidden army guarding the gate of the military camp let Tang Ning and Lin Wei inside. and rode a horse to lead the way in front and led the two to the place where the Zhenjiang army was.

Since I just came to Kaifeng, I didn't have any training tasks. Aside from the thunderous workout time every morning, the rest of the time everyone is in a state of free activity.

After Cheng Yang returned to Kaifeng, he stayed in the palace for two days. After that, he returned to the barracks and ate and lived with the soldiers.

Although Shenqian also has Cheng Yang's plan, he seems to be preparing to return to the barracks in a few days.

Now, after his training every morning, he will find more than a dozen soldiers who have performed well in all aspects to enter Kaifeng City for a day of fun.

Fang Yong had experienced it once, and after he came back, he and the other soldiers who went with him kept sighing and saying that it was too extravagant, too extravagant, could this be the world of the rich......

He used to be worried about whether Shenqian's approach would ruin the family's property, but the old man who had been with Shenqian since he arrived in Kaifeng said that as long as the young master could be happy, it would be worth selling all the thirty shops in Kaifeng City.

After that, the soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army firmly closed their mouths, enjoying everything that God Dashao brought them to enjoy with peace of mind.

And Zhang Jingming refused Shenqian's invitation, and when he met Guo Hong in the hospital this morning, he said that there was a young man with a very temperament who had been listening to the Guozijian for the past few days, and he seemed to be the judge of the Zhenjiang Army.

All the way to the camp, I gave the forbidden army who led the way a few grains of silver, and the guy seemed to be too little, so he pouted and left.

Glancing at the officers and soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army who were wiping their weapons, Tang Ning stepped forward and said, "What about the gods?" Didn't come back? ”

The little soldier was startled when he saw that it was Tang Ning, and then said, "If you are a young man, you have already taken people out before......
