Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 196 Crossbow Machine
"My mother is fine, and now she is taking the women in the village to sew dolls. The village is busy watering the crops, sweet potatoes and potatoes have grown on the newly cleared land, and other crops are also growing well. "

Zhou Yue thought of the current situation in the village and couldn't help but have a peaceful smile on her face. Such a warm and comfortable life was what she expected.

"I heard that chili grows too? I haven't seen fresh chili yet!" Qian Changsheng asked. He likes the taste of chili very much, but he has only seen dried chili and doesn't know how it grows.

"It's still early, only a few leaves have grown, and the peppers haven't started to grow yet. You can go back and see when the peppers grow! I guarantee you can eat fresh peppers!"

Qian Changsheng scratched his head and said, "Okay, I will go back when the peppers grow! I want to pick some peppers myself to eat!"

Zhou Yue laughed, "Okay, I'll let you eat enough when the time comes!"

Back in the village, Zhou Yue came to Song Chang'an's house for follow-up consultation on his leg.

"You're recovering well, and I'm going to treat your eyes next." Zhou Yue said after feeling her pulse.

"Thank you!" Song Changan's deep voice sounded. He was completely convinced of Zhou Yue's medical skills and believed that he would see the light of day again soon.

Zhou Yue wrote down the prescription and handed it to Song Changning next to him. "Just give him the medicine according to the prescription. In addition to the medicine for drinking, there are also medicines for external application. I have written them down clearly. Twice a day, don't forget."

"Okay, I see, thank you, Fourth Young Master!" Song Changning nodded, and put the prescription into his arms.

After Zhou Yue left, Song Changning couldn't help but say: "Brother, this fourth young master's medical skills are really amazing. We are really lucky to meet him!"

Song Changan also very much agreed with his sister's words, "Yes, it is indeed my honor."

If he hadn't met the Fourth Young Master, he might have died a long time ago, because back then he was blind and speechless, and even had a broken leg, so he had no intention of surviving.

Even if he didn't die on the way to exile, he might have committed suicide after arriving at Jidong Island, and he wouldn't have lingered on.

Song Changning patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, this is arranged by God, we are destined to die, when you recover, let's kill that dog thief Yan Zhen!"

When Yan Zhen was mentioned, Song Changning's teeth itch and his eyes turned red. These days, she practiced martial arts hard in order to be able to kill that villain Yan Zhen with her own hands.

"Changning, calm down first." Song Changan patted the hand on his shoulder with his backhand, "Now that the General's Mansion no longer exists, we must take a long-term approach to revenge."

"Brother, don't we still have the wolf army? We still can't handle a strict formation?" Song Changning asked with a frown.

Song Changan shook his head, "Changning, the wolf army cannot appear easily now. The court itself is very afraid of the wolf army. It was lucky that they could escape during the chaos.

If it weren't for the Beiling Kingdom's chaos in the northern border, Chen Lu and the others would have been arrested by the emperor's order. At that time, the war was urgent, and the court could only send people to resist the invasion of the Beiling Army.

But now it's different, the war in the north is over, the emperor has been able to spare manpower to find the wolf army, now they don't show up, the emperor has nothing to do, once they show up, it will break the current calm. "

The more Song Changning listened, the more solemn his expression became, "Brother, I didn't think everything through. You're right. You can't harm so many brothers from the Wolf Army just because you want to avenge our General's Mansion."

"Don't be too discouraged, as long as we are still alive, there will always be a chance for revenge!"

Song Changan sighed. The days are still long and they will always find opportunities.

After Zhou Yue came out from Song's house, she went up the mountain to Mr. Wu's place. The sound of iron clanging came to her ears, and Zhou Yue stopped at the entrance of the cave.

"Master Wu!" Zhou Yue called out to Wu Xiaoyi's back.

Wu Xiaoyi turned his head and saw that it was Zhou Yue, with a smile on his face, "The fourth son is here!"

"How is the progress here, Mr. Wu?" Zhou Yue asked.

Wu Xiaoyi's eyes lit up, "Fourth Young Master, follow me!"

After speaking, she turned around and took Zhou Yue to the back of the mountain, and Zhou Yue followed him to the place where she watched the boat last time.

"Fourth Young Master, please see, the giant crossbow has been installed, one at the bow and one at the stern. It has been tested and is very powerful!" Wu Xiaoyi introduced, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Zhou Yue boarded the ship, came to the bow to check, and pulled the string of the giant crossbow with her hand, "Yes, this power is enough."

"This crossbow requires at least two people to operate it together. Fourth son, look, there is a rotating shaft under it, which can adjust the direction." Wu Xiaoyi pointed to the mechanism on the ground and said.

Zhou Yue looked in the direction he pointed, and it was indeed a moving shaft. When she turned the crossbow with her hand, the shaft below made a sound, and the crossbow also turned to one side.

"This rotating shaft is quite flexible, and it doesn't take much effort to rotate." Zhou Yue praised, quite satisfied with the design of this rotating shaft.

"Several styles have been designed for this hinge. After experimenting one by one, this is the most flexible, so I adopted this." Wu Xiaoyi continued.

Zhou Yue nodded, "How is the crossbow made?"

"A thousand crossbows have been built, and they have been tested. The speed and power of the crossbows are extremely fast, and it is difficult for ordinary people to dodge."

Wu Xiaoyi felt overwhelmed when he thought of those batches of bows and crossbows that had been manufactured. With those crossbows in hand, ordinary people could fight ten against one. If they were used in the army, they would be truly magical weapons!
"Then continue manufacturing. Make [-] crossbows, and then increase the production of crossbow arrows." Zhou Yue said a target. She wanted everyone in the wolf army to be equipped with a crossbow.

"Yes!" Wu Xiaoyi clapped his hands in reply.

"I'll let Wang Zheng take the boat towed away in a few days. Now that the weather is warmer, it's time to test the waters." Zhou Yue planned to arrange for Wang Zheng to take people out to sea to try out the new boat.

"Okay, I'll arrange a few craftsmen to follow, so that any problems can be solved in a timely manner." Wu Xiaoyi added.

"Okay, Master Wu, go make arrangements."

After Zhou Yue went down the mountain, she went directly to Wang Zheng and explained to him her purpose.

"Ship test? Fourth Young Master, when will we set off?" Wang Zheng heard the news about the ship test, rubbed his hands a few times, and couldn't wait.

He had seen the big ship built by Mr. Wu before, and he had been excited for a long time. He finally had the opportunity to go to sea and try it!

"Don't worry, you have to wait for a few days. You have to gather some good water wolves and train you all in sea knowledge before you can officially board the ship." Zhou Yue said hastily.

Wang Zheng nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I will go and gather people with good water properties. How many people do you need, Fourth Young Master?"

Zhou Yue thought for a while, "500 people, you can choose." It's the first time to test the water, so be conservative.

　Thank you everyone for your support. I have been having a fever and feeling groggy these past few days. I feel very touched when I see everyone voting for me every day. Thank you for your support!
