The green mound is the tomb of Wang Zhaojun. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The grass in the north is white, only here is green. Therefore, Wang Zhaojun's cemetery has an exclusive term over time: green mound.

Although Wang Zhaojun was a matter of the Han Dynasty, it still exists now. It's just that it looks a little dilapidated, little maintained, and cold.

The green mound was built by ramming artificial soil in the Han Dynasty. The tomb is shaped like a covered bucket, with a height of 33 meters and a bottom area of about 13,000 square meters. Nearly 2,000 years have passed, and the grass on the green mound at this time is leisurely, and it is refreshing to see.

In the early morning of April 27, 277 of the Ming Dynasty, Qingzuka suddenly became noisy. It seems that overnight, dozens of yurts have grown at the foot of the mountain.

This is a member of the Ordos Ministry.

Long before the start of the war, the Ordos Ministry had transported all the ordnance in the Iron Fortress, that is, the nameless fortress where the ordnance was built before, to the Naturalization City.

The Iron Fort has almost entered the state of herding sheep, and the craftsmen inside have been transferred to the Naturalization City. Because, there is really not enough craftsmen in the steppe to repair ordnance.

Enough ordnance has been built, but because of the uneven quality, many ordnance needs to be repaired continuously. Especially after the initial battle between the Tumut Department and the Ming Army, many armors were damaged in this war and needed to be repaired urgently.

Of course, the most important thing is the artifacts created in the Iron Castle - the Hongyi Cannon.

Twenty-four Hongyi cannons were pulled by hundreds of green oxen to come out of naturalization and arrive at the foot of Qingzuka. They began to build their own artillery positions, as if in a similar way.

It's just that, ironically, it seems that it was only at this time that the Mongols realized that they were missing one of the most important things: artillery.

In this place of thousands of miles, there are only two forces that can play with artillery, either Han Chinese or Manchurians.

The east of Jianzhou is dealing with the war in Lushun, and the hinterland of Liaodong has been poked into a hole, so naturally there is no time to send precious artillery to the front line of Guihua City. What's more, even if people dare to send it, Eluchen doesn't dare to ask for it.

As for the Han Chinese, it is even less to think about.

That's their enemy.

Of course, there is no doubt that no matter which of the three is the artillery technology, in the end, it is actually due to the Ming official army. For example, the artillery technology of the Manchurians came from the gunners brought by King Sanshun in the Dengzhou Rebellion.

Leaving aside these gossips, all in all, the impression that the Han people could operate artillery fell into the mind of the E-chan.

Since the Han people can, then it is enough to find some Han people to come and operate the artillery for him.

As a result, in addition to the blacksmiths in the Iron Fort who needed to repair the ordnance, the Han slaves in the Iron Fort eventually had another identity: gunners.

In E's view, this is obviously a very simple and straightforward logic. You made this artillery, so you don't know how to use it?

Bai Dou looked at the twenty-four iron bumps in front of him with a smile and couldn't help but be impressed by the simple and crude logic of the Mongols.

He was lucky, it seemed that with the help of nobles in the dark, Baidou was no longer a simple coolie. Since Lu Ji left, Bai Dou has changed, relying on his shrewd mind, he quickly learned the technique of striking iron and became an apprentice.

Later, he was transferred to help build the Hongyi cannon with the master who studied iron smelting. As a well-behaved and sensible new apprentice, Bai Dou got this opportunity and followed his master to build the Hongyi Cannon.

Obviously, from being an apprentice to finally building the most important secret Hongyi cannon, this identity is obviously a very fast jump. The simplest, the treatment is much better. Although there are still many people in the Iron Castle who are half-dead and starve every day, these skilled craftsmen will not go hungry anyway. On the contrary, few Mongols dared to mistreat these people.

When dealing with Han slaves, the Mongols were rough and arrogant, but being rough and slow does not mean being stupid. They also know that without these skilled craftsmen, the remaining people are a group of unskilled and unskilled laborers. If you want hard work, the Mongols have it, so why bother to find these Han people?

Therefore, Bai Dou finally asked for something that he struggled to survive after becoming a slave: to eat enough.

The originally thin body gradually regained its strength, and the daily heavy physical work also made the white bean's vain fat dissipate without a trace, and was replaced by a hard and strong tendon meat.

Relying on a rather shrewd head, Bai Dou became an apprentice with Yuan Sanyu, the master of building the Hongyi cannon in this iron castle.

This time, after the Mongols found that there were no gunners, Yuan Sanyu followed and became an artillery thousand.

"What are you going to do with this artillery thousand? Old man, I was working in Jinzhou City, but I didn't expect that when I was old, I would have to bring a few thousand soldiers......" Yuan Sanyu scratched his head and said sullenly, a little dizzy: "The cannons are made, and they can be used ......"

Yuan Sanyu was a little dizzy, but he was not stupid, he knew that Bai Dou was a Shunjun officer at the beginning, so he called over.

Bai Dou smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, we will use it." Of course, we know how to use the artillery we build. Can...... This is not the case with military training. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Sanyu was energetic: "What kind of solution is that?" ”

"To train the army, it naturally takes time, every day to operate the artillery, stand on the target and learn over and over again, master the measure, figure it out little by little, and thoroughly understand the craftsmanship of using this Hongyi cannon. But at the moment, we don't have time, we don't have saltpeter shells that we can contact, and we don't have ...... Said to be a gunner, not yet a slave...... Master, silence ......" Bai Bean said, his voice getting lower and lower.

Yuan Sanyu suddenly lowered his head.

Sure enough, under the green mound, a group of people and horses galloped over. Everyone looked at the man, and they all flattered him, and greeted him.

When Yuan Sanyu saw this person, he was still a little dazed. But Bai Dou is accustomed to observing words and feelings, and immediately understood that a big man was coming at this time, and hurriedly pulled Yuan Sanyu over to greet him.

Sure enough, under the flattery of everyone, Yuan Sanyu and Bai Dou understood who the person in front of them was.

This person is the subordinate of Jinong of the Ordos Department. After five years in the original history, he would take over the throne of Zasak from the hands of the Elachen, lead the left wing front banner, and be stationed in the valley of Zara.

Of course, these are all things that are gone for now. But there is no doubt that Se Ling is obviously the crown prince of the Ordos Ministry, that is, the heir of the Ordos Ministry.

The five thousand most elite households in the hands of Eluchen are in the hands of Se Ling.

As the most valuable and powerful secret weapon of the Elachen Dynasty, the Hongyi Cannon will certainly not be in the hands of a few craftsmen.

"You are this artillery Qianhu Yuan Sanyu?" Se Ling's eyes were small and narrow, staring at Yuan Sanyu and Bai Dou, which suddenly made the two of them weak in their knees.

I saw the two kowtow in unison, and said one after another: "The villain is." Please also send it down. ”

"What is not falling, as long as you get a good cannon for the Great Mongolia, and shoot the Ming people into a mess, then no one will send your sins down. Even if there is any sin, with that military merit in you, I will also block it for you! Get up and tell me if you can operate this Hongyi cannon? Se Ling said in a deep voice.

Where would the two of them say a word, even if they were bitter in their hearts, of course they still had to say again and again: "These twenty-four Hongyi cannons are built by the villain and the masters, and the joints are clear in the chest, and the operation of the artillery is naturally possible." ”

"Hahaha, I'll just say, you craftsmen, all the cannons have been made, can you still fire the cannons? Good, good, good! Se Ling got three good words in a row, which made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that Se Ling said again in vain: "Then show Ben your ability to shoot cannons!" ”

When Yuan Sanyu heard this, his face immediately turned pale.

But in front of his immediate boss, where did he dare to refuse?

In a hurry, Yuan Sanyu hurriedly looked at the white beans on the side.

Baidou is from a military background, and his psychological quality is a few points. Especially after seeing something out of the corner of his eye, he was even more confident in his heart, and immediately said: "This will take the general to see the villain operating the artillery!" ”

When Se Ling heard this, there was some light in his eyes.

He was also a little apprehensive about the absence of gunners. After all, it's like a cavalryman's riding skills won't reach home without more than ten years. This artillery is so difficult to build, no special gunner can exert any power, and no one has a bottom.

Anyway, in the end, the color prism hit the attention of these craftsmen.

After all, if you search all the people under your hands, these people seem to have a better level of skill than those Mongols who can't read a single word.

Even if the worst of them plan to practice the art from scratch, it is clear that it is easier for these craftsmen to learn it.

Therefore, after these craftsmen were drawn out to form an artillery thousand households, Se Ling also hurried over to test it.

Unexpectedly, it seems that there are really surprises waiting for him.

The group soon went up the mountain.

Even though this is a cemetery, it is clear that not many people care about the tranquility behind this one of the four beauties of the Han nationality nearly 2,000 years ago.

On the contrary, there is a faint reverie in Seleng's heart: that is, in front of this beauty, I want to tell those Han people that they are Mongolians who are powerful! And not the Ming army that came to attack!

With this thought in mind, Se Ling's mind wandered, and when he came back to his senses, the busy sweaty artillery Qianhe had already arranged twenty-four artillery pieces to the peak of the green mound.

This place is worthy of a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and unique feng shui. In particular, the small highlands piled up are even harder, and twenty-four extremely heavy Hongyi cannons can be placed.

In addition, the flat landmarks on the high part of the green mound are even more conducive to the placement of artillery.

Yuan Sanyu had completely let go at this moment, he didn't move the matter of commanding the artillery at all, so he had to give his apprentice a hand, and command and coordinate the rest of the craftsmen to place the artillery positions one by one.

Twenty-four artillery pieces lined up one after another, placing a circle in the open space of the entire green mound, like a chrysanthemum, blooming in all directions.

The artillery was installed, of course, not all of them had to be test-fired.

Naturally, the white bean led the coloring edge to a cannon in the best condition.

"This is a 3,000-pound mighty general cannon, the villain will start operating the artillery, and please wait a while!" Bai Dou took a deep breath, but calmed down.

This calm comes from his knowledge of this artillery.

Compared with other Hongyi cannons whose quality is completely unstable, he understands this three-thousand-pound cannon. The barrel of the landing gun is quite stout. Although this lowers the caliber, it makes Baidou not worry about encountering artillery explosions.

At this time, several Mongols brought gunpowder.

Bai Dou wanted to scold his mother in his heart, but he had to start weighing and making medicine bags on the spot.

Unlike later generations of industrialization, shells were manufactured. In those days, artillery and shells had to be improvized. There is no advanced consciousness and technology that Daming has set in advance.

Of course, the most important thing is national strength.

This is not only reflected in the leading technology, but also in the abundant supply of gunpowder.

Instead of now, let Bai Dou scold his mother before he brought the gunpowder. Although, the white bean also knows. This was the last resort of the Mongols. Scarce is expensive, and gunpowder is a consumable with huge consumption. Even if the Ming court wanted to make enough gunpowder, it would have to take a lot of effort. Not to mention the Mongols, who lacked supplies in the steppes and even pig iron was scarce.

Being able to prepare so much saltpeter and sulfur to make gunpowder is already a deep enough strategic preparation for Eluchen.

After the medicine bag was successfully weighed, Bai Dou breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, he looked at the few people around him who were gasping for the same craftsman's clothes, and showed a little smile.

He saw a familiar face.

"It's Lu Ji! These few people around him are probably the source of such a miraculous creation on Lu Ji's body! "Since Lu Ji appeared that day, Bai Dou has guessed countless times in his heart the reason for Lu Ji's completely different circumstances.

There is no doubt that there must be a powerful force that allows Lu Ji to condone and enter and exit the heavily guarded Iron Castle.

At this critical juncture, you can bring a few gunners who are experienced in their skills and can operate artillery!

How valuable such a gunner is, no one can understand it better than Bai Dou at this moment. That's a technical talent that can't be found in the entire Mongolian steppe.

But it's such a valuable talent, and five of them came at once.

They cooperated tacitly with the white bean to start operating the artillery, cleaning the chamber, installing ammunition, a series of dazzling gestures and the adjustment of the muzzle, in the quiet atmosphere, the moment of anticipation came, the aiming has been debugged, and the cannon is about to be fired.

"What's the point of booming the mountain, shoot the cannonballs into that river!" Se Ling said suddenly.

Bai Dou's body stiffened, and the color ridge actually changed the target of the shelling on the spot.

Such a change suddenly made the originally confident white bean feel uneasy.

If you just need to fire a shot, it's just too easy. Just shoot the shells.

But the target was specified......

is the most shrewd and capable gunner in Dashun, so he doesn't dare to say where to fight!

"We need to proofread the shot once!" Bai Dou said hurriedly.

"Good!" Se Ling said immediately.

"No need. Fire! Lu Ji's voice was quickly overshadowed by the roaring cannons.

The shells fell into the river accurately.

Seleng looked at it in surprise, with a raging flame burning in his eyes: "Good! Good! Good! Reward, give me a reward! ”

Lu Ji smiled, and the smile covered a thin flying fish pattern inside the cuffs. (To be continued.) )
