In the past days, they have discussed the Dinghai Navy many times, the more they discussed, the more they felt the terrible Dingjun, a small island of less than a county, at most a little money and manpower have been invested, hundreds of thousands of yuan, maybe for the Shengdou Xiaomin, it is a lot of money, but for a country, it is just an insignificant little money, but in this way, the Dinghai Navy can develop to the point of destroying the Liao State, what does it rely on.

As far as these high-ranking officials of the Northern Song Dynasty are concerned, if they are explained by the existing ones, they can't be explained at all, at least they can't see it from the perspective of the Northern Song Dynasty, even if it is really very profitable to set the navy, but can money buy everything, for example, the Daimyo Mansion, even if there is no attention from the Northern Song Dynasty, the Daimyo Mansion itself is a transportation artery, it is an important town, and other cities in the Northern Song Dynasty are also nothing more than this, why, a deserted place that had no fame at all in the past will develop like this.

From the letter given by Zhao Xin before, I slightly understood what kind of behemoth the Dinghai Navy was, but the more this was the case, the more I felt doubts, and some people even thought that it might be an exaggeration.

This has become a contradiction, exaggerated, why did the Liao Kingdom perish, without a certain strength, even the Northern Song Dynasty could not destroy the Liao State, let alone the Dinghai Army, which was only 300 square kilometers in a county.

Ambivalent psychology, this is the psychology of the current Northern Song Dynasty courtiers, and relatively speaking, Renzong's idea is a little simpler.

No father would be jealous when he saw his son's achievements, even if it was Renzong, who was the emperor, if it wasn't for maintaining the balance of the Northern Song Dynasty, how could Renzong let Zhao Xin give up the position of inheritance.

The contradiction between the emperor and the crown prince, that is because the prince is under the emperor's wings, constantly encroaching on the emperor's rights, the contradiction between the two, with the accumulation of time is irreconcilable, if at the beginning, the contradiction between the emperor and the prince is irreconcilable, the emperor will not choose this as the prince.

Zhao Xin's situation is another, another way, relying only on limited strength, almost insignificant power, to create incredible achievements at once, a county land, won the entire Liao State, and created a feat that even the Northern Song Dynasty could not accomplish, this, Renzong only was happy, and there was no jealousy or anything, this is the difference in psychology.

After being the emperor for so many years, Renzong is a little tired sometimes, if Zhao Xin can really replace him and promote the entire Northern Song Dynasty better, he will not be attached to it at all, and he is not so strong in the psychology of power, which is the fundamental reason why Renzong can look at the courtiers calmly, but it is these high-level officials of the Northern Song Dynasty, they may become suffering from gains and losses because of such and such reasons.

While everyone was waiting, Han Qi walked into the Purple Light Palace, looking at the interior of the palace that was not very wide, it actually concentrated all the high-level officials of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and was slightly taken aback, all the governors of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, the bigwigs of all parties, and even some former important ministers were invited to it, this is very rare in the court, and the most important thing is that he actually saw Zongzheng.

Who is Zong Zheng, that is the patriarch of the Zhao and Song royal families, maybe in the court and politics, Zong Zheng's influence is very weak, but in the affairs of the royal family, Zong Zheng's full strength is very large.

Although Han Qi was a little puzzled, but then, under the leadership of Renzong, he began to inquire about the results of this exercise, and Han Qi forgot about this, and he almost introduced everything he saw in the exercise.

When it was said that the Dinghai Navy had a weapon with a range of 700 meters and rapid fire, which was equivalent to at least 10 longbowmen for one person, everyone's faces were shocked, and when it came to artillery, it was even more so.

The reason why the Northern Song Dynasty dared to attack the Liao State was because of the existence of the Fortress, even if it couldn't take the clouds, in the face of the counterattack of the Liao State, making up for these Fortresses in Hebei, it could also resist the crazy attack of the Liao State, and now, when this golden body was broken, everyone changed from curiosity to silence.

Itself, Han Qi was still wondering why Zong Zheng came. But looking at the posture of the inquiry, or the leaked information, the reason for Zong Zheng's coming is obvious, if the strength of the navy is unstoppable, then it can be considered to re-recognize Zhao Xin.

This is not child's play, it is a real idea, but they still underestimate the navy a little too much, with Zhao Xin, who Han Qi contacted, even if it is the royal family of Zhao Song, they are willing to recognize Zhao Xin and let Zhao Xin serve as the crown prince, but will Zhao Xin come back.

Up to now, in Han Qi's heart, he has recalled countless times the scene of seeing Zhao Xin in Baozhou at that time, and many ideas at that time were later proved wrong, I am afraid that from that time, when Zhao Xin went to the navy, he was already ready.

Thinking about it carefully, it was very terrifying, even if Han Qi thought about it, he felt very unbelievable, but there was only such an explanation. ，

Renzong and various officials in the Northern Song Dynasty all knew that the strength of the Ding Navy was unstoppable, but the strength of the Ding Navy was unstoppable, but they found that no matter how much they overestimated it, they still underestimated the strength of the Ding Navy.

The number of people and troops, this is needless to say, the Ding Navy is different from the Liao State, he has money, technology, and the money of the Ding Navy exceeds that of the Northern Song Dynasty, especially in terms of steel, the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty relies on the Ding Navy, not to mention the Ding Navy itself.

It must be super combative, just like how the peasants describe the life of the emperor, who always eats meat,

This is already the limit of their imagination, the Northern Song Dynasty considered the navy, more to consider the navy, everyone is holding a divine weapon, everyone is wearing a divine armor, such an army, although it is terrible, but it is still within the range of bearing, at least, the divine weapon, and there is no way to help the fortress.

In just 4 years, the fortress has become the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Northern Song Dynasty, the invasion that was worried before, under the protective company of the fortress, was completely smashed, in the cognition of the Northern Song Dynasty, as long as the fortress was built, you can sit back and relax.

The low cost of the fortress and the low maintenance cost made the fortress popular in the Northern Song Dynasty and became the patron saint of the Northern Song Dynasty.

But this exercise, not to mention the previous one, the last one is too terrifying, and the navy actually has weapons that can break through the fortress.

Even if during the exercise, only 20 guns were displayed, and this artillery could kill a fortress without damage in 1-2 hours, which is a huge problem, but is this all there is to the navy?

The reason why this conclusion was reached was not only based on Han Qi's report, Han Qi also mentioned that the production capacity of the Ding Navy was far beyond the imagination of the Northern Song Dynasty, as long as the Ding Navy was willing to produce, then it would definitely be able to burst out of a very terrible production capacity, and 20 doors was just a small number.

But what really makes everyone understand is the battle report from Guangzhou, the warship that relieved the siege of Guangzhou, that happened more than a year ago, the warship in Guangzhou, one ship has hundreds of guns, you must know that there are at least seven or eight such warships, and even this is all the warships of the Dinghai Navy, not necessarily.

At that time, in the battle report in Guangzhou, these were mentioned, because they did not attack the city walls and fortresses, so they did not have associations, but when they thought about it again, especially compared with Han Qi's report, the land use was much smaller, that is to say, the navy alone had more than 1,000 absolutely huge artillery, such a large one can be, and a much smaller one, of course, there are more.

This kind of thinking is actually very wrong, it is relatively easier to be large, and the navy is only starting from the navy, because it can make the total weight reach thousands of catties, or even more.

Relatively speaking, the small infantry is much more difficult, to consider the mobility of the infantry, too heavy things, simply can not keep up with the pace of the infantry, will also drag down the infantry, must be moderate weight.

And the few artillery pieces displayed in the fortress can be said to have combined power and weight to the extreme, and even if it was the Dinghai Navy at that time, there were no more such artillery.

Of course, a certain weapon, as long as it is finalized, the production speed will be greatly accelerated, and the current Dinghai Navy can guarantee that the monthly output is about 40 guns, and with the leadership of proficiency and technology, the speed of this production will be faster and faster.

Although it is said that these high-level officials of the Northern Song Dynasty, they are right, now there are 20 guns, and in a few months, there will be hundreds, and even say that now, in addition to these strongest artillery, the remaining artillery, one or two thousand, can threaten the artillery of the fortress, it is also possible.

Their conjecture can be regarded as crooked, only about 1,000 guns, according to 20 guns, 2 hours, that is, the artillery of the navy is now fixed, at least, it can attack 50 bastions.

The terrible protective ability of the fortress makes it impossible for the fortress to be so close, and in general, in terms of military towns, such as Shanhaiguan, as well as several passes in Youzhou in the north, it is just one pass, and there are only 4 fortresses concentrated.

These 4 fortresses, according to what Han Qi said, 20 artillery pieces are for one fortress, then it is 80 artillery pieces, which can attack Shanhaiguan.

With the recovery of Youyun, the importance of Shanhaiguan has become more and more prominent, and if Shanhaiguan is held, then Zhuozhou will be stable, so from the very beginning of the 4 fortresses, to now, a whole system of fortresses has been formed, plus fortresses, and super-large battle fortresses, which can protect Youyun, itself, can be impregnable fortresses, but they have been greatly threatened.

A Shanhaiguan is nothing, but if the entire fortress in Youzhou is breached, what will be the result? Attacking 50 bastions at a time can make a comprehensive attack in a range of almost 600 miles or more, which is more than imagined

If the Dinghai came to attack, what should the Northern Song Dynasty do, and how to resist the threat of artillery.

In addition to the fortress, the Northern Song Dynasty was able to compete with the Liao State head-on under the same number of troops, there were not many of them, and the navy only took a little time, and in 20 days, the Liao State was killed.

If before, they were just worried, now, it is a real threat, this threat is real, if they really come to attack the navy, they have no way, there is no way to deal with the artillery, in the face of the attack of the navy, they can only be passively beaten.

In addition to artillery, what Han Qi said about the musket has also attracted the attention of heavy people, and what is the reason why the navy chose this musket to replace the longbow.

The things that Han Qi brought were taken out and displayed, and the outside of the Purple Light Hall was a garden, and in the garden, he found a relatively empty place, at least 300 meters above the place, and launched it.

Among Han Qi's guards, there are a few who have good talents, even if they are only in the Dinghai Navy, after most of the day's training, they can't say where to hit, but at a distance of a few hundred meters, hitting a relatively large object, there is no problem.

The result is shocking, at a distance of 300 meters, the 1 layer of foot armor and 1 layer of cowhide that can be penetrated, such an attack power is much, much higher than that of the longbow.

In the range of 200 meters to 250 meters, it can completely penetrate the 2 layers of foot armor, this lethality, the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty, no equipment can resist.

Artillery can also be said to be a minority, because the Ding Navy only showed 20 guns, but this musket is a conventional weapon, at least, the Ding Navy in the exercise, among the 100,000 troops displayed, there are muskets, maybe his power is not as good as these others given to Han Qi, even if they are given better, their worse ones are terrible enough.

Some people who are familiar with military affairs immediately saw the problem from the musket, this musket has enough range and power enough, but there is no weakness of the archer, as long as there are enough bullets, such an archer can attack continuously.

For an elite archer, there is a limit to the number of shots in a day, or a period of time, and the longbow can be fired high because of its light strength, but under the rate of fire of the longbow, the combat effectiveness of the longbow is about a stick of incense.

This time is not short, and under some sudden combat effectiveness, it can already be put to use.

But this, in terms of attack power and range, has surpassed the longbow, so a shooter, in a long-term battle, is equivalent to at least several archers, then, set the navy of 100,000 musketeers, their combat effectiveness, compared to the 80 forbidden army, such a weapon, compared to artillery, is more terrifying.

A musket, an artillery, is enough to make all the advantages of the army of the Northern Song Dynasty, all disappear, in an instant, the terrible degree of the navy, more than the Liao State, in the empty garden, only the whirring wind remains, the rest, no one speaks, silence shrouds everyone.
