Chapter 799: A Craftsman from Chang'an
The moon and stars are scarce, there is no wind on the sea, and there is silence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info a ship quietly docked, and a group of people quickly walked down from it.
Immediately someone greeted him.
Among the first to come down from the ship, some of the sharp-eyed ones had already seen it, and while they were on guard, they also rushed forward to meet them. When he got closer, he could already see the other party clearly by the moonlight, so he put down the weapon in his hand, stood upright, and said, "General!" ”
Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Is the journey still smooth?" ”
The special combat member of the Tang Dynasty Blade replied: "General Hui, at the behest of His Majesty, escort a cadre of craftsmen from the Military Aircraft Workshop to the Ryukyu Naval Division, and hand over these craftsmen to the general with his own hands!" The lowly rank is fortunate not to be dishonored, and I have come to pay the order! ”
"Good work!" Xia Hongsheng nodded: "The sailor soldiers have opened up an extremely secret testing ground, and when you get there, you can rest quickly." ”
The special operators nodded, dodged their way, and continued to guard their surroundings. Xia Hongsheng walked over to the craftsmen who were getting off the boat one after another.
When he got closer, he suddenly heard the sound of someone retching, and when he looked closely through the moonlight, it was the blacksmith in the military machine workshop. So he stepped forward and teased: "Master Mao, when you first tried to build an iron boat, you stayed on the boat for several months and never came down, why did you vomit it now?" ”
Lao Mao, the blacksmith master who was seasick and disgusting, heard this voice, as if he had been alarmed by a cat, he jumped up suddenly, and turned his head to look at Xia Hongsheng in shock: "Hou, Hou Ye?!" God, Sanqing Dao is on the ......"
"Three, three, this son is not dead yet!" Xia Hongsheng saw the blacksmith like that, and suddenly said angrily.
"This ...... Master Hou, this ......" Blacksmith Mao's mouth trembled a little, looked at Xia Hongsheng, and then looked back at the others, wondering if he was the only one who saw it.
"Master Hou?! You, you didn't ......" Obviously, it was not only the blacksmith himself who saw Xia Hongsheng.
"Ben Hou and the king of Hejian killed two Japanese people, changed their clothes, and threw the bodies of those two Japanese people into the ditch, which deceived the Japanese people, crossed the sea from the world, and escaped from the Japanese country." Xia Hongsheng said: "Let you come from Chang'an, just to try to make a powerful weapon to deal with the Japanese state. Let's go! ”
"That's great!"
"I know that Hou Ye is so powerful, how can those barbarians in the Wa Kingdom kill Hou Ye!"
Seeing that Xia Hongsheng was still alive, a group of craftsmen were very excited, and gathered around: "It is rumored in Chang'an City that Hou Ye was killed by the Japanese people, we are all annoyed, and we have made a lot of firearms out, Hou Ye is fine, it's really good!" Master Hou! What are you going to do with peace of mind? We must do our best to make it as soon as possible, go to fight the Japanese country, and avenge you! ”
Listening to the gossip of the craftsmen around him, and seeing their excited looks, Xia Hongsheng was very moved.
In fact, people's hearts are mutual, Xia Hongsheng knows the important role of these craftsmen and attaches importance to them. Xia Hongsheng, who came from later generations, would not have the meaning of being superior to others, let alone look down on them, and never put up a shelf in front of them. These people are naturally grateful to Xia Hongsheng.
"Let's go rest first, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty Navy Division have opened up a very secret testing ground on the Ryukyus, let's go there. You've had a long journey, and you'll rest for a few days, and then I'll give you the drawings, and we'll discuss them together. Xia Hongsheng said.
"Not tired! Master Hou, as long as you are fine, the backbone of our military aircraft workshop is still there. Go back and get some sleep and it will start tomorrow! The craftsman said.
Xia Hongsheng beckoned to the back, and Qi Yong led a few carriages over.
When Xia Hongsheng went to sea to Diaoyu Island, he left Qi Yong in the Ryukyus.
Let those craftsmen get into the carriage, and Xia Hongsheng himself will go up and go to the depths of Ryukyu Island.
The carriage did not stop all night until dawn, and then finally stopped.
The craftsmen came down and saw a huge field fenced with tall wooden stakes.
"This is the place where we experimented, compared to the military aircraft workshop is a little simpler, however, we also have to overcome difficulties, at least we must first make things into a usable prototype, the state affairs, after returning to the military aircraft workshop, and then improve and improve." Xia Hongsheng said to those craftsmen.
"Master Hou, don't worry, we are all from a bitter background, where can we be disgusted with this? As long as you can make something! The craftsmen said one after another.
"Okay, I'm here for the next few days, let's discuss it together." Xia Hongsheng said to these craftsmen: "This weapon is also a kind of firearm, and it is extremely powerful. If such a thing can be made, we Datang will have no opponents for hundreds of years. You are all masters of the craftsmen related to this weapon, in other words, the best hands, so I invited you. This thing is hugely powerful, and correspondingly, it is also very complicated and difficult to do, and it is also very dangerous. I will make it clear to you here that the process of making this weapon and the process of testing this weapon is extremely dangerous, and there is a high probability that people will die. There is also this consideration in inviting you here. You are all masters, and your skills have been inherited in the military aircraft workshop. In the military aircraft workshop, there have long been your fame and deeds. Now, although the people do not know it, your names are destined to go down in history. With all due respect, this mission is very dangerous, and accidents are very likely to occur on the way, you are all old people, but the future generations are still long, they are young, and there are skills that you have passed on, and you will definitely be able to bring forth the new, carry forward your skills, keep improving, and pass them on. So, let the old people face the danger! Ladies and gentlemen, what I say sounds chilling, but it is also true. I'm here to thank you! ”
As he spoke, Xia Hongsheng bowed down and bowed to those craftsmen.
"I can't help it!"
"I can't help it!"
When the craftsmen saw Xia Hongsheng saluting them, they all became nervous one by one, and hurriedly wanted to step forward to pull Xia Hongsheng up, but they felt that it was inappropriate for them to pull a Hou Ye, so they stomped their feet in a hurry.
Xia Hongsheng gave a long salute, then straightened up again, and said, "However, you don't need to worry too much, I just said the danger ahead." When we really want to do it, we must put personal safety as the first consideration, just like when we were in the military aircraft workshop. ”
"Master Hou, we craftsmen were all hard-working people in the past, and no one has ever looked at us. It wasn't until Hou Ye valued us that we had a straight waist. Datang needs us, we have made a lot of things for the imperial court, and these things make Datang so powerful. We have credit in it, and this has confidence. Your Majesty has personally visited us and given us a reward, so it's time to be content! Master Hou, don't worry, no matter how dangerous this thing is, we have to break his life, and we have to get him out! (To be continued.) )
