Chapter 115: No coincidences, no stories



The Ministry of Rites, responsible for sacrificial ceremonies, was arguably the poorest of the three provinces and six ministries. The Ministry of Personnel, responsible for the appointment, dismissal, assessment, promotion, and transfer of officials, held a very high position. The Ministry of Punishment was responsible for judicial matters. The Ministry of War in Jing State was largely ineffective, with the various armies largely under the emperor's control. Officials in the Ministry of War could offer suggestions.

There are quite a few people in the Ministry of Industry, and most of them are currently engaged in the production of the Royal No. 1 Thresher.

When Baili Tang arrived, he was inspecting the threshers, and he was speechless. He was truly speechless! But he didn't say anything, and certainly didn't embarrass Song Tian in front of everyone. That's not how a leader should be; otherwise, his emotional intelligence is truly indescribable.

In Baili Tang's view, those who worked for him and did not rebel against him were all his own people. He had to protect his own people.

"Lord Song, please take me on a tour!"

Baili Tang focused on visiting the weapons room. He asked Ye Chao, "Lord Ye, can these things withstand the cavalry of the Northern Dan Kingdom?"

"Yes! Lord Song is a genius. If he hadn't taken the lead in creating such armor..." Ye Chao praised.

The cavalry of the Northern Dan Kingdom can be imagined as the brave and warlike Mongolian cavalry - a whirlwind force that is strong, well-trained, disciplined, tactically flexible, intelligent, brave and formidable.

The weapons they commonly use are scimitars and spears, supplemented by hand axes and iron bones!

Main tactics: intensive arrow shooting, luring the enemy, keeping on guard, outflanking, and even close combat! If you can't win, just flee on horseback, shooting arrows as you go...

The Mongolian cavalry was extremely powerful. They swept across Asia and Europe and destroyed the Jin Dynasty in just four years.

But it took them fifty years to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty!

Among the four great inventions, three originated in the Song Dynasty, including gunpowder.

Moreover, during the Southern Song Dynasty, there were great generals like Han Shizhong and my father-in-law. If it weren't for the emperor's incompetence...

There is also the advantage of terrain, with many mountains, rivers and lakes, making it difficult for horses to travel.

On the plains, infantry is already at a disadvantage against cavalry!

The purpose of Baili Tang's coming here today is to get gunpowder, but Jingguo does not have gunpowder yet.

Every winter, the Northern Danish cavalry would always try to find ways to provoke war in order to gain benefits from it!
