Yelu Dashi's heart was becoming more and more uneasy now, and he looked at the Nine Turns Yuan Shen Dao: "National Teacher, is the Great Song Dynasty already defending the Jade Gate Pass with all its might, and is preparing to drive all these people from the outer heavens to the Western Regions?"

The Nine Turns Yuan Shen looked at Yelu Dashi, nodded and said: "Yes, judging from the current posture of the Great Song Dynasty, it is indeed this kind of plan, they will drive all the races within the Yumen Pass to the Western Regions, and make the Western Regions a Warring States-like existence, so as to offset the incursion of the Zhurong clan, but this should be the last plan of the Great Song Dynasty, they first cut off the Starry Sky Ancient Road, hoping to block the Zhurong clan outside the territory!"

"Does the Great Song Dynasty have this kind of strength! As the national teacher said, the Zhurong clan has developed for hundreds of thousands of years, and it must be as good as a cloud, although the Great Song Dynasty is strong, can it resist these extraterritorial god clans!" Yelu Dashi was also full of doubts at this time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Nine Turns Yuan Shen looked at Yelu Dashi's appearance, and said with a faint smile: "As far as I know, the place where the Zhurong clan lives is lacking in minerals to make gunpowder, and there is no gunpowder, so the Great Song Dynasty will definitely make gunpowder on a large scale, although this Zhurong clan has masters, but it is also flesh and blood!"

The Nine Turns Yuan Shen said lightly, he didn't want this Western Liao monarch to be frightened, but Zhao Shu also realized a question in his heart, whether those Western Xia Jiedu envoys would directly rebel when the Zhurong clan arrived, it seems that he still has to consume some of the power of the Western Xia Jiedu envoys, and then extract some men and horses and materials from them to squeeze the power of the entire Xixia Jiedu envoys.

"Gunpowder?!" Yelu Dashi was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, clapped his hands vigorously, and was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, the Great Song Dynasty has gunpowder is a good thing, this starry sky ancient road is in Yumen Pass, and there is a large area of Western Xia and Uighurs in the middle, plus the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, the Zhurong clan will definitely attack the Great Song Dynasty first, but we also have to strengthen, this time we have captured Tianzhu, just exchange some more gunpowder with the Great Song Dynasty!"

Yelu Dashi clapped his hands and said, and the Nine Turns Yuan God on the side smiled and said: "The king's mind is good, I have a large number of war horses and fire oil in Da Liao, which is just right to exchange gunpowder with Da Song." ”

"I'm going to prepare, and I'm going to trouble the national teacher to collect more news about the Zhurong clan!"

"The king is not in a hurry, can we get in touch with those gods in the Fire Luo Country, after all, the Zhurong clan is dealing with them, maybe we can get some benefits from these gods!"

Zhao Shu also wanted Yelu Dashi to contact these Gonggong Protoss first, so that he could also understand the thoughts of the God Emperor of the Gonggong Protoss.

Yelu Dashi nodded, and immediately went to prepare for these things, he had to quickly understand the situation of these Outer Heavenly Divine Clans.

When Yelu Dashi was preparing, Zhao Shu also sent envoys to the Jurchens to increase the New Year's coins and taxes again, and to increase the measures to extract the national strength of the Jurchens, and he had to try his best to deplete the national strength of the Jurchens.

After doing this, Zhao Shu personally came to the gunpowder workshop to inspect the gunpowder and oil here.

To deal with the Zhurong clan, we must use these two sharp weapons, otherwise the development of the Great Song Dynasty for decades is definitely not comparable to the development of the Zhurong clan for hundreds of thousands of years, and we can only rely on firearms and oil.

In a secret workshop outside Yanjing City, many monks of the Shenxiao Dao and craftsmen of the Heavenly Industry Department came and went, and this time it was also these workshops that tested new gunpowder, and Zhao Shu was somewhat interested in this gunpowder.

The craftsman of the Heavenly Works Department, Zhitu Yu, stepped forward with a happy face and said, "Your Majesty, the new gunpowder has been successfully developed, and the power has doubled!"

As he spoke, one of the soldiers lit a gunpowder bullet and threw it out, and with a bang, a red flame rose up, and a wall exploded directly, and the rubble was burned into white ashes by the flames.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Shu's eyes lit up, nodded his head and said, "Yes, this gunpowder is very powerful, have you found a way to refine nitroglycerin? Why is this gunpowder so powerful." ”

Hearing Zhao Shu's words, Zhi Tuyu was a little embarrassed and said: "According to Your Majesty's method, we found diatomite, but the nitroglycerin will not be able to be refined for a while and a half, in order to improve the power of gunpowder, later Master Mo Yangzi ground the feathers of the golden crow and integrated them into the gunpowder, and the power is even more powerful!"

"How much Golden Crow Feather does this gunpowder bomb consume?" Zhao Shu felt a little solemn in his heart, the three-legged Golden Crow from Goryeo was the deity, and it was used to cultivate the top ten Golden Crow masters, and it has not been used, and the loss of gunpowder used to refine and consume is a bit large, after all, gunpowder can be continuously manufactured, and there is only one three-legged golden crow, which can not afford to be consumed.

Zhitu Yu seemed to know Zhao Shu's thoughts, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, after the three-legged golden crow feather is ground and mixed with ordinary gunpowder, it can make hundreds of thousands of gunpowder bullets, but when the teacher went to Yumen Pass, let me tell Your Majesty that the Dao masters of Shenxiao Dao have used the Golden Crow Feather Sacrifice to replace similar items, and it will be successful in the near future!"

Zhao Shu nodded, since the yellow powder will not be able to be successfully manufactured for a while and a half, it can be regarded as a method to make it with these materials.

"Where's the artillery?"

Zhao Shu asked again.

"The cannon is made of red fire essence copper, and the Taoist leaders have carved runes on it to strengthen the power of the artillery!

When Zhitu Yu spoke, he stretched out his hand, and several big men slowly pushed the artillery out, these cannons were engraved with runes, and with the order of Zhitu Yu, three huge cannons sprayed a tongue of fire with a bang, and a gunpowder shell bombarded out, blasting into a small hillside, directly bursting it.

"Hmm!" Zhao Shu nodded, feeling strange in his heart, what he wanted to develop was the gunpowder civilization of the later generations, but now it seems to be led astray, but as long as the power is strong, it is enough, and when the Ministry of Heavenly Works develops yellow gunpowder, it may be able to put gunpowder on the right path.

"Your Majesty, in addition to these artillery, we also use Ying Long and a few golden Jiao's faded dragon scales to develop a new type of artillery, which will be more powerful!"

"Well, gunpowder and artillery should be developed and manufactured quickly, the more the better!" Zhao Shu nodded, ready to check the refining of armor and the construction of puppets, at this time, Jiang Kui hurriedly walked over, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, something has happened in the Western Regions!

"What's wrong?" Zhao Shu asked with a somewhat ugly face.

"Three flames suddenly rushed out of the Yumen Pass, turned into a giant with a height of several zhang and riding a giant beast, and directly rushed into the territory of the Western Regions Zhujiedu Envoy, and joined forces to sacrifice a city with blood, when Mo Yangzi and General Zhao Wu, who guarded the Yumen Pass, came to report, there seemed to be movement in the Yumen Pass!"

"What!" Zhao Shu's face changed, his body shook directly, and he walked towards the Jade Gate.
