Chapter 53 is too exaggerated
[800โ small รท said โ.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Zhao Boying was very worried, their six wealthy clans in Shuozhou surrendered to the Tang army, and they did not have half of their connections in the Li Tang Dynasty. What's more, they and Chen Ying are more like transactions. Chen Ying took out 50,000 stone of grain, and the children of their six wealthy families worked hard for Chen Ying, and the two sides traded fairly, each taking what he needed.
Just as Chen Ying sighed, Zhao Boying actually has selfish intentions. He was already in his prime, and he didn't have much to do. But his youngest son, Zhao Haoxin, has just begun his life. If Chen Ying agrees to leave a trace of blood for the Shuozhou Zhao family, not to mention being promoted and making a fortune, it would be good to leave a way to live.
Chen Ying did not directly agree. Because Chen Ying understands that the easier it is to get something, the more he will not cherish it, and often the things that are obtained through hard work will be cherished. It was precisely because of this that Chen Ying showed a noncommittal look on his face, and looked at Zhao Haoxin lightly.
Zhao Haoxin pretended to be very heroic, looking at him puffing up his chest and staring at him, Chen Ying felt that he was ridiculous like a child.
Chen Ying took a breath and shook his head slightly. He is now more and more proficient in the art of leadership, and he is thrilling all the way, and if he doesn't have this ability, it will be a waste. The time to dry Zhao Boying's small half a pillar of incense should be about the same at this time, Zhao Boying at this time, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he didn't know if it was hot weather or nervousness.
In this era, scholars are a rare species, especially in Lingzhou, which makes Chen Ying extremely sad, and he can't even find a teacher who has opened a literacy class. What's more, with Chen Ying's current merits, promotion and knighthood are almost a sure thing. If you go up to the military position, you can get the authority to open the government and build teeth, and Chen Ying's thirst for talents is endless.
For Zhao Boying's son, don't say one, even if there is another dozen, Chen Ying is not too much.
Chen Ying snorted lightly from his nose and asked lightly, "How many books have you read?" โ
Zhao Haoxin asked cautiously: "Back to the general, Haoxin has read "Poems", "Books", "Analects", "Spring and Autumn" and "Numbers". โ
If Zhao Haoxin didn't mention "Numbers", Chen Ying would basically not take the exam, but he just mentioned the field that Chen Ying was best at, Chen Ying said lightly: "General Ben asked you, if the foot soldiers eat three liters of grain a day, the cavalry and horses eat one bucket a day." General Ben has 10,000 stone of grain, marches for half a month, and can lead infantry and cavalry at most? โ
When Zhao Haoxin heard this, he immediately picked up a small wooden stick and counted it on the ground. About a pillar of incense, Zhao Haoxin told Chen Ying the results of the calculation: "You can bring more than 3,700 cavalry and 6,000 infantry." โ
In fact, this question is not a question at all, and there are many groups of answers. You can have one belt of infantry and all cavalry, or you can have no cavalry, all infantry, or you can also have half of the cavalry. Chen Ying's original purpose of the assessment was to try Zhao Haoxin's skills, and this simple assessment shows that Zhao Haoxin has basic computing ability.
Chen Yingdao: "This chief manager ordered you to be the commander of Lingzhou Bing Cao. โ
In the Tang Dynasty, the governor's office and local government all had a vertical management system, and the Lingzhou governor's office was an example, Chen Ying not only had official positions such as long history, record office to join the army, and record affairs to join the army, but also to join the army, such as division soldiers, justice, division gong, division cang, division yue, division clerk, and division household. However, under the participation of various positions in the army, there are also subordinate officials such as the government, history, xu, and apprentice. And Zhao Haoxin, the soldier Cao Division, is equivalent to a subordinate officer of the Division. On the level of the equivalent of the later generations of section-level cadres.
Zhao Haoxin was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you for the kindness of General Dayou!" โ
Although Zhao Haoxin, an official, has only just entered the stream, he is quite from the eighth grade. However, for Zhao Haoxin, this is also a step to the sky.
Seeing that Zhao Boying's son was appointed by Chen Ying as the commander of the soldiers, Xu Caifu also recommended his son Xu Yigong to Chen Ying. Chen Ying also pretended to be assessed and appointed as the secretary of the warehouse. That is, a petty official who manages the warehouse.
This is equivalent to stabbing a hornet's nest, Guo Rui, Dong An, Ren Bi, Feng Qilan and others also recommended their sons and nephews to Chen Ying as officials, Chen Ying briefly assessed everyone, and found that everyone was really as their parents said, somewhat really talented. Chen Ying accepted all the orders.
Of course, this is also a joy for all. The six wealthy families in Shuozhou sent their descendants to Chen Ying, in fact, not only to get an official, but also to act as hostages to express their loyalty to Chen Ying.
In fact, Chen Ying didn't expect it either. Later, the Lingwu faction, a very powerful political faction in the Tang Dynasty, was born under the Yanmen Pass.
In the future, the Lingwu officials have a very obvious characteristic, these officials from the Lingwu department, who can manage the army on the horse and herdsmen on the horse, are all all-round talents in civil and military affairs.
The weather in the afternoon was very hot, Chen Ying was sweating a lot, and he wanted to find someone to get some cold water to take a bath, but he didn't think that before Chen Ying gave the order to prepare the bath water, Chen Ying heard a burst of cheers outside the tent.
Chen Ying raised his head and asked, "Go and ask what's going on!" โ
Ryazan said: "Ge Tong asks to see!" โ
Chen Ying was puzzled: "Who is this Ge Tong?" โ
Ryazan said: "It seems that in the morning, the old craftsman was surnamed Ge!" โ
Chen Ying nodded and said, "Let him in!" โ
After a while, Ge Tong came to the big tent dancing: "General, it's done, it's done!" โ
"What has it done!" At this time, Chen Ying didn't remember that he had ordered Ge Yong to build the Xiangyang cannon before.
Hearing Ge Tong say that he had taken refuge in the new trebuchet, Chen Ying was very happy, and he didn't care about the hot weather, so he put on armor and a knife, and rushed out of the tent: "Let's go, go and see!" โ
At this time, the Tang army camp outside Yanmen Pass, there was no independent general camp at all, and the place where the trebuchet was made was in a corner of the Shuozhou military camp temporarily named by Chen Ying.
The shape is like a huge gantry crane, lifting a huge weighing stone. Chen Ying just thought that although the Xiangyang cannon counterweight trebuchet was simple, it was not possible to do it for a while because of the pulley block.
In fact, Chen Ying once again underestimated the ancients, the craftsmen led by Ge Tong actually made twelve sets of pulleys out of 100 steel, through which even an ordinary soldier could easily lift the counterweight equipment of the counterweight stone throwing again.
What surprised Chen Ying the most was that although the projectile rod was made of a large tree trunk that was hugging thick as a projectile arm, the clever Ge Tong wrapped the parts that were very easy to wear and tear with an iron ladle.
Chen Ying saw this huge counterweight trebuchet and asked Ge Tong, "Have you tried it?" โ
Ge Tong shook his head and said, "I haven't tried yet!" โ
"That'...... Try it now! Chen Ying said in an undoubted tone: "Put the stone bomb, first put a hundred catties and two stone bombs into it, and see how powerful it is!" โ
Not knowing the power of this trebuchet, Chen Ying had people empty a radius of five hundred paces. Chen Ying wanted to personally operate a trebuchet that did not exist in this era, but Ryazan said that he would not let Chen Ying test it.
After Ryazan and all the others dodged, a knife cut the hemp rope on the extension arm, with a tooth-aching creak, the heavy counterweight stone quickly pressed the extension arm, the extension arm also drove the rope, the rope rotated with the stones, the extension arm seemed to move very slowly, but the rope on the extension arm rotated very strongly, after a circle of acceleration in mid-air, it was torn open by the pre-set rope The leather pocket, the hundred-pound stone bullet flew out.
A huge stone bullet weighing 100 pounds flew in the air with Xuan'er, impartial, and hit the chest wall three hundred and fifty steps away.
There was a click, and the breastwork collapsed.
Chen Ying exclaimed: "Hold the grass, this is too exaggerated!" โ
PS: It's the end of the month, the last day, the monthly pass will be invalid in 24 hours, everyone, don't waste it.
