Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

On the contrary, the two Zhongshi Dao brothers, who led the remnants of their troops to defeat, sent spies to find out what they had encountered and what they had learned along the way.

When the battle report was sent to Zhao Ji, a fast horse was sent.

But it was enough to shock Zhao Ji for a long time.

Because Zhao Ji knew very well in his heart that it was only the Liao Kingdom that was being destroyed right now.

But in the matter of destroying the Liao Kingdom, it was also invisible that the Jin Kingdom formed a closer cooperative relationship with the rebel forces within the Song Dynasty such as Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing.

What if in the future, these forces are still not satisfied, and even point the finger directly at themselves?

By that time, the pressure faced by the Song Dynasty would definitely be unprecedented.

Zhao Ji, who felt such pressure, was not in the mood to punish the two Shidao brothers for losing troops and generals.

After hurriedly arriving at Shangshu's room, he called Zhu Wu, the acting director of the Intelligence Investigation Division, Shenji Military Advisor.

Because the matter was urgent, he did not say any polite words to him this time.

Instead, he directly stated the reason why he came here this time:

"Zhu Aiqing, when you returned this time, you immediately summoned all the experts under your command, and based on each of their strengths and characteristics, sent them to La Department in the south of the Yangtze River, Tian Hu Department in Hebei Province, and Wang Qing Department in Huaixi Province. As well as places around the Great Liao Kingdom and the Great Jin Kingdom.”

"Let them inquire about the information separately. Don't be careless."

"If you feel that there are very few people under your command, you can discuss it with the general of the Imperial Guard and transfer more troops from there."

"Of course, if the intelligence leaders under Zhu Aiqing have anyone they can recommend."

"Then we can also ask them to come together and work together for our Great Song Dynasty."

"After all, when it comes to intelligence, the more people you send out, the more comprehensive intelligence you can get from the enemy."

After Zhu Wu left, Zhao Ji called Shen Kuo, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, over.

And asked in detail about the manufacturing progress of its tanks and combat vehicles, as well as the development progress of rifles.

After all, for Zhao Ji himself, those iron guys are his last trump card in this troubled world.

If at this time, there are any problems in the production and manufacturing of advanced firearms such as tanks, combat vehicles, and rifles.

Then he, Zhao, would really be in despair.

Although at this moment, neither Fang La, Tian Hu, Wang Qing, nor the Jin Kingdom Cavalry showed any obvious signs that they would launch a large-scale attack on the Song Dynasty in the next period of time.

But Zhao Ji's sense of crisis here has made him unable to settle down anymore.

And Shen Kuo's reply also made Zhao Ji very satisfied:

"For the record, our Ministry of Industry has recruited more and more craftsmen from the private sector over the past few days."

"This caused our Ministry of Industry to build several more factories near the original tank manufacturing factory in just ten days."

"Originally, Wei Chen planned to unify all the functions of those factories."

"But then I thought about what the official said before that. We must pay attention to the protection of the core secrets of tanks and combat vehicles."

"So after discussing with several senior officials from the Ministry of Industry, Weichen decided to divide the newly built factories according to the following functions."

"One is the test factory, which is used to test the performance of the assembled tanks and combat vehicles."

"Let's see if its performance is up to standard."

"The second is a factory specializing in the production of steam engines."

"And in those large factories, there are many small areas divided by Weichen."

"Used to break down the various small links in the production of steam engines."

"In addition, there are also factories that specialize in the production of gun barrels, those that specialize in manufacturing artillery shells, and training workshops that are specially used to train tank drivers."

"While the newly recruited craftsmen were building factories in large quantities, the workers under Wei Chen were building several tanks and chariots."

"After the newly built tanks and combat vehicles pass the test, they can be officially used on the battlefield."

"As for the rifles that the officials mentioned before, Wei Chen also commanded his subordinates to make a batch of them."

"Although its shooting distance is quite far, more than [-] meters."

"But the loading method of the bullet is really too slow. For the current technical level, it can only be used as a supplement for bow and arrow shooting."

After hearing this, Zhao Ji nodded frequently:

"Shen Aiqing, your place is also doing quite well in manufacturing those tanks and combat vehicles."

"Please go back and tell the ministers under your command that they must work harder."

"As long as you do well in the production process, I will definitely reward you generously and I won't be stingy."

Shen Kuo grinned:

"This is natural, since the last time the officials rewarded officials from the Ministry of Industry."

"We dare not say anything else, but in terms of work enthusiasm, those ministers are really many times higher than before."

"Everyone is very motivated now."

"I'm afraid that in the process of producing that kind of tanks and fighting vehicles, I will do less and do less, and then I will not be rewarded by the government."

Zhao Ji nodded frequently, and just when he was about to say something more, there was a knock on the door.

After that person came in, it was Eunuch Sheng, the chief internal officer:

"I'm reporting to the officials that Lieutenant Li Kui and Lieutenant Li under the command of General Zhong want to return to his hometown within a day or two."

"But now, General Zhong has not returned to the capital yet."

"So I presented this news to the officials, but I didn't know what the officials meant..."

Zhao Ji waved his hand casually:

"Let him go on his own, but before leaving, he still has to ask Monk Naruda, Yan Xiaoyi and others to go with him."

"If not, he will not be allowed."

Although Eunuch Sheng was a little surprised by Zhao Ji's attitude.

But after pausing there for a while, he turned around and left in a hurry.

When Li Kui received the news, he was extremely happy.

Although Li Kui was a little confused about Zhao Ji's final instructions to him.

But before leaving, he really followed Zhao Ji's wishes.

As for the generals under Song Jiang, they have been doing almost nothing else in the military camp these days except for fighting training.

At this moment, Li Kui suddenly told Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Yan Qing and others about the news of his return home.

This made these people quite surprised.

But it didn't take long before everyone nodded and agreed happily.
