King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 188: The most important weapon of the country, rain of arrows cleaning the ground is not a dream

Outside the weapons workshop.

On the wide street, two luxurious carriages galloped from the street in the distance.

The soldiers responsible for guarding the door listened to the sound of whips and couldn't help but look at the carriage rushing towards the door.

Wait until you see the familiar driver and the familiar carriage.

The guards, who looked solemn and vigilant, relaxed instantly.

The car that came was none other than the car of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, the two most powerful princes of the Ming Dynasty.

吁.

After a while, the carriage stopped.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui opened the curtains and waved to the slaves who came to help them get off the carriage, and then jumped down from above.

blah blah blah...

At this moment, a middle-aged man who was waiting eagerly outside the weapons workshop ran towards the carriage with a slightly excited face after seeing the stopped carriage.

"How powerful is it?"

He turned around and glanced at Zhu Gaosui, the leader of Jinyiwei who was standing nearby, smiled noncommittally at him, and gave him a look, indicating that he would take a look with him.

"promise!"

A series of questions came out of King Zhao's mouth.

After receiving the summons and being called Lao Liu or Lao Fang, his expression was solemn. Feeling the eyes falling on him, his body trembled for no reason, and a trace of fear and embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

"I have lived up to your trust and entrustment, Your Majesty, and finally accomplished what Your Majesty described before."

"Lao Liu, Lao Fang, just operate normally."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help laughing, his face was full of relief, and he responded:

"Row!"

The middle-aged man who came to greet him was named Zhang Shangyun. He was also promoted to the temporary manager of the weapons workshop when he was investigating corruption in the weapons workshop. However, he was later confirmed as the deputy manager due to personnel transfer.

"Yes."

Please use your brain a little bit, you can't even come up with such a question.

Say it.

After that, the group of people did not hesitate at all, and supported Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui as they walked into the weapons workshop.

Then, with a gentle smile on his face, he smiled at the two of them and said in a comforting voice:

"Is there anything worth improving or changing in this process?"

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu bowed slightly, reached out to lift his shoulders, helped him up from the ground, patted his shoulders gently, and asked aloud:

"Just now, I heard in my palace that what I ordered you to study and study before has been finished?"

"How can you deserve the title of the most important weapon of the country?"

After that, Zhu Gaoxu turned to look at Zhang Shangyun who was standing behind him, waved to him to come forward, and gave instructions:

"Lao Zhang!"

It’s unclear what the specific effect will be and whether it can reach the point where he is satisfied.

"However, I have no experience with this thing and don't know anything about it, so I am anxious to ask the prince to come over and have a look to see if what we are doing is what the prince wants."

Hearing this, Zhang Shangyun looked solemn, bowed and said:

"Let's make a finished product together and show it to Prince Han."

"Is this the so-called important weapon of the country that you just said, something that can scare the Tatars and Oaras in the north?"

"I want you to activate this thing. I just want to see how effective it is and whether it is as good as I expected."

Seeing this object, Zhu Gaosui's eyes became even more doubtful. He frowned and scrutinized it for a while, then turned to look at King Han standing next to him and asked tentatively:

"Second child"

Seeing this, how could Zhu Gaoxu not know what the two of them were worried about.

Hearing this, Zhang Shangyun looked solemn and bowed slightly again. A hint of excitement appeared on his face. Then he nodded heavily and said:

"It just so happens that I also want to see how the finished product is and whether it can meet my previous overdue deadline."

Entering, in a separate hut in the backyard of the weapons workshop, they saw a strange and huge machine tool made of iron mixed with wood, and a simple machine tool appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu, who had just got off the car, looked at Zhang Shangyun, who was running towards him with a slightly excited expression. His face was full of a happy smile, and he hurriedly greeted him. He was about to say greetings.

And move to the battlefield?

How to move this?

There are no wheels and no place to lift.

"Can this thing still be brought to the battlefield?"

"What's the use of this thing?"

However, it is also understandable that the thing in front of him was a simple sketch based on the lathes of later generations, and then asked the people in the weapons workshop to try to make one to have a try.

It's not that he doesn't want to explain, the problem is that he may not be able to explain it no matter how hard he talks.

Then, without any hesitation, he waved to the craftsmen standing behind him and shouted:

"Lao Liu, Lao Fang, don't sit back and wait, hurry up and come forward to help."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu subconsciously raised his forehead, a hint of helplessness flashed across his face, and glanced at him with disdain like he was looking at a fool, not bothering to explain so much to him.

Before He Nai could say anything, Zhang Shangyun's figure knelt straight down, saluted and said loudly:

"Wei Chen, please pay homage to the King of Han and Prince Zhao."

"fine!"

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. No matter whether you do well or not as you wish, I will forgive you."

"Work hard and follow your normal operating procedures."

"Don't worry, don't be afraid."

This statement came out.

Hearing the words of relief, the King of Han looked at him and others with a gentle smile on his face, thinking about his efforts to fight for the interests of these craftsmen.

The two people who were originally excited and frightened for a moment, and their extremely nervous emotions softened and relaxed a lot, and their moods slowly calmed down.

After that, the two looked at each other, took a few deep breaths, and strode toward the simple lathe.

Each performing their duties, the three of them sat on the wooden stools. As the three of them used their hands and feet together, the simple machine tool slowly started to operate, making a slightly harsh sound of creaking and creaking. The iron pillars began to rub against each other, and the gears of various sizes equipped with them began to rotate slowly.

Ok?

What is this?

What exactly is going on?

Everyone looked at the slowly starting machine with confusion, their eyes and faces full of confusion.

While everyone was stunned and confused, Zhang Shangyun, who was standing aside, picked up a piece of wood with an extremely uneven surface and extremely irregular pits from the ground, and placed it along the entrance of the groove.

Dududu. Zhilazhila.

A series of sounds sounded, and in just a moment, the wood that had just been put in on the other side of the instrument slowly came out.

Afterwards, a straight arrow shaft fell into the hands of Zhang Shangyun who was waiting quietly.

Seeing the item in his hand, Zhang Shangyun held it in his hand and examined it for a while. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Immediately, he quickly came to Zhu Gaoxu with the arrow shaft in his hands, presented it to him with an extremely respectful expression, bowed and said:

"Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand to take the arrow shaft in front of him, and looked at it carefully for a while. Gu Bo finally showed a smile on his calm face, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. He nodded heavily and shouted loudly in vain. Drink and say:

"Hahaha good. good. good. very good."

While sighing and admiring, he turned to the finished arrow shaft in his hand and handed it to the confused and astonished King Zhao next to him, and said with a smile:

"Lao San"

"You are also a military commander, and your vision is extremely vicious."

"Take a good look at this thing"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaosui, who was in a daze, instantly retracted his wandering thoughts, reached out to take it, and looked at it carefully, saying with emotion from time to time:

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk."

"It's simply a work of art!"

"After so many years of marching and fighting, I have never seen an arrow shaft of such quality. Now it is really an eye-opener for me!"

While sighing and admiring.

In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the entire process of arrow shaft production in front of him, as well as the specific time it took. He couldn't help but subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air and cursed in his heart.

Hey!

From the time the wood is put in to the final product coming out, the real time is only one-third and a quarter of an hour!

It's simply an outrageous move.

You know, in ancient wars, the biggest wear and tear was the arrow shaft.

Because the arrowheads are made of iron, they can be recycled and reused by cleaning the battlefield after the battle, and their loss is almost pitiful.

The arrow shaft is just the opposite. Because it is made of wood, whether the arrow blade is shot on the enemy's body or falls on the ground, as long as the arrow shaft is shot out, it is almost impossible to recycle it.

Therefore, after every battle, arrow shafts must be replenished.

This is also the reason why many times, we obviously want to wash away the land with arrows, but we can’t give up.

There is no way the consumption of this thing is too scary, and the production of arrow shafts is slow, so it is completely impossible to do as you wish.

But now, with the debut of machinery specializing in making arrow shafts, such a rapid production speed is achieved.

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaosui could not help but blush with excitement at this moment, his body could not stop trembling slightly, and his lips also trembled.

I finally understood why the second guy called the equipment in front of him the most important weapon of the country.

Previously, when they first met, he was a little disappointed and felt that the second brother was too exaggerated. But now looking at the arrow shaft in his hand, he has put away his contempt and feels that using the most important weapon of the country is the best. This word couldn't be more appropriate to describe what is in front of you.

Think about it, as long as the progress of the arrow shafts can keep up, when we fight with the Tatars in the north, we will directly discuss the intensive rain of arrows. First, we will wash the ground with the rain of arrows for those bastards, and then we can continue with new arrow shafts. .

Those bastards wouldn't even be able to touch the clothes of Ming soldiers.

That kind of feeling should not be too sour or too comfortable. Just thinking about it makes people's blood boil and makes people feel extremely stimulating.

After that, he turned to look at King Han aside, his expression became extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice:

"Second child"

"Impressed!"

"I am completely convinced now!"

"Tell me how your head grew, and how did you come up with the idea of ​​making such a marvelous artifact?"

"Hahaha, if the old man and the boss see each other, they will be shocked."

"Let's see how those Walas and Tatars still dance around in front of our Ming Dynasty in the future."

"Fuck me if I don't beat the shit out of them."

"Come on, let's hurry up and tell the two of them to come over and have a good look at this exciting good news, so that they can learn more about it."

Seeing the excited and incoherent King Zhao, who was holding his hand and about to walk outside, Zhu Gaoxu remained motionless, reached out and patted his shoulder gently, saying:

"okay!"

"There's no need to go. When I was in a daze just now, I already sent someone to notify the boss and the old man to come over and take a look."

"It shouldn't take long for the two of them to arrive."

Just as the conversation between the two ended, Zhang Shangyun, who had just been responsible for directing the operations of his craftsmen, came over from the mechanical position, bowed respectfully to the two of them, then looked at Zhu Gaoxu, with a hint of timidity in his words, and spoke asked:

"Your Majesty."

"Look at this machine. Is there anything wrong with it or anything that needs improvement?"

Seeing Zhang Shangyun in front of him who looked a little frightened and embarrassed, Zhu Gaoxu put a faint smile on his face and gave him a thumbs up. His words were all conclusive affirmations and he replied:

"You did a pretty good job on this matter."

"The effect of the finished product in front of me is far beyond my expectation."

"but."

Having said this, he paused, his expression became extremely solemn, his voice became solemn, and he continued:

"We must not rest on our laurels either."

"Although there is a machine in front of you, you still have to use your imagination to think about it."

"Improve as much as possible, such as the speed of production or the reduction of labor."

"Do things with ease. Only if you open your mind, dare to think, dare to do, and dare to do. In this way, I believe that the machines in front of you will become better and better."

"Understand?"

This statement came out.

Zhang Shangyun's expression was slightly startled, and there was a hint of thinking on his face, as if he wanted to understand something. Then he slowly raised his lowered head, nodded heavily, and said:

"Yes!"

"I must remember your teachings, Your Majesty."

“You won’t be disappointed.”

Regarding his attitude, Zhu Gaoxu nodded with satisfaction and said:

"It's okay. There's no rush. Take your time."

"This king has always made clear rewards and punishments. You have done a good job in this matter, and you deserve it."

Before the next words were spoken, a noisy greeting came from the door of the originally quiet weapons workshop.

"See Your Majesty, Prince."
