Chapter 158 Petition (II)

"Sun Gong, how old was I during the First World War in Wangjiazhai?"

"Thirteen, fourteen."

"At the age of fourteen, because he was too young, there were people in the village who didn't believe it, and some people opposed it, but what was the result? Yes, I am still very young now, and the thousands of officers and soldiers in Huachi County are not comparable to my small village, but can I compare with me now? I don't dare to force the officers and soldiers to rebel. ”

Not to mention, a few years later, Wang Wenliang came to Gyeongju to grab merit, which really caused a mutiny.

Sun Changqing was still hesitating, and Wang Ju said again: "In addition, Wansheng also brought a few good gifts to Sun Gong. ”

"I don't want a gift."

"Really?"

"Don't."

"Don't regret it, they may be a weapon of the state."

Sun Changqing was amused by Wang Juqi and said, "Where are they?" ”

"Sun Gong said no."

"Take it, what kind of system. You are not allowed to laugh," Sun Changqing shouted at his little maid. The little maid was still standing on the sidelines, snickering.

"At the inn, but Sun Gong wants to see it, and he has to invite a few people to come, Deputy Chief Zhang, Wang Xuan, and Supervisor of the Seed Capital."

That is, Zhang Yu, the so-called first general of Hebei later, but he does have some skills.

Wang Zhaoming, this old eunuch has been in the army for a long time, and even charged on the front line many times, which should not be underestimated.

Not to mention the kind of diagnosis, the eight sons of the world, what can really be beaten is not the kind of ancient, the kind of diagnosis, the kind of friendship and the kind of friendship.

The three of them are the real Gyeongju military bosses, and if there is no need, Wang Ju also wants to have a good relationship with them, and it is best to exchange them for their support, then next year's delicious meal will be eaten!

However, Sun Changqing didn't quite understand, Wang Ju explained: "Later Sheng said that they are national weapons, and the three Ming Dukes have to be invited, and if you want to try its power, it is best to go out of the city and live in a remote place." ”

"Why?"

"The power is a bit big, and I'm also worried about the ears and eyes of the Western Xia, such as the fire thistle, which the Western Xia will have."

It was reasonable, Sun Changqing didn't say anything, called the officials, and summoned Zhang Wangchong and the three of them.

Wang Ju first gave his hand: "I have heard the three names for a long time, Wang Ju has always been polite." ”

"Wang Zhixian, don't be polite," the three of them said at the same time. Don't look at Wang Ju's small official position now, but he is from a Jinshi or the eighth Jinshi, and he will rise very quickly in the future.

"Yes, please."

When a few came to the inn, Wang Ju found an ox cart, and then moved out a few boxes from the inn with the third eldest son, and said, "Let's go out of the city, Sun Zhizhou, don't have to take it to a remote place." ”

Sun Changqing, according to his curiosity, took Wang Ju outside the city and came to a small Zhuangzi.

Wang Ju looked at this Zhuangzi strangely: "Sun Gong, why is there no one in this Zhuangzi?" ”

"This was originally the Zhuangzi of the An family, but later, even the Zhuangzi, including the cultivated land, was sold to Qin Qilang of Pizhou at a low price, and moved to the rear with his family and tenant farmers. But this Qin Qilang is a gangster, who used this village to lure the father and son of Jia Li Yuanwai in Gyeongju City, and killed him, and then this Qin Qilang did not know what to do, and others did not dare to come to live, saying that it was a murderous house. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Wang Ju said softly, but did not ask about the case again, and had no right to ask, and opened the first box.

"Tribulus terrestris?"

"It's not an ordinary thistle," Wang Ju said, asking everyone to stand behind the courtyard wall, and then set it on fire and threw it out.

There was a loud noise outside, and as the iron thistles and iron nails in the fire thistle flew out together, they all hit the gate and the courtyard wall dozens of meters away, and deeply embedded them.

"Sharp weapon," Zhang Yu's eyes lit up.

This is the real thistle, and he looked at Wang Ju puzzledly: "Why is it so powerful?" ”

"Wait a minute."

Wang Ju opened the second box, a large box, and began to take out many objects, with a large wooden board and beams, and assembled them with these strange objects.

"Stone cannons?"

"It's a kind of general, it's a stone cannon, but it's a little different."

Wang Ju finally assembled, and took out another fire tribulus terrestris from the first box, but it was bigger, weighing more than ten pounds, Wang Ju put it on the lasso and lit it, and began to work with Li San**, the fire tribulus was bounced out, flew out of three or four hundred meters, fell to the ground, and then exploded, which was so loud that it almost deafened the ears of several people. Sun Changqing and the others ignored the buzzing of their ears and quickly rushed over to investigate.

Its first kill was still very limited, and it was not a bomb after all, but the second kill was considerable, and the huge explosive force quickly threw out the iron nails and iron thistles in this extraordinarily large fire thistle, and some even pierced deep into the thick trees.

Several people looked at it for a while, and Zhang Yu turned back to look at this new type of stone cannon.

Stone cannons, also called trebuchets.

There were many in the army of the Song Dynasty, and several people were no strangers.

But this kind of stone cannon is different, in terms of range, it is not too far, and some trebuchets in the army throw heavier weight and throw farther. But it takes dozens or even hundreds of people to operate, and it is this that restricts its swing. This kind of stone cannon was operated by two people, it can be disassembled and installed, how can Zhang Yu not understand its significance?

This is what Wang Ju made up in Wangjiazhai and Yanzhou, and asked Cheng Kan for gunpowder, some tribulus terrestris samples, and forged a set of hardware tools, wrenches, qizi, pliers, and screws and nuts regardless of work.

Some gunpowder weapons began to appear in the Song Dynasty, and the people also began to produce firecrackers in large quantities.

It's just that the gunpowder formula is not standard, and Wang Ju corrected the proportion. However, Wang Ju was still not very satisfied, maybe the purity of nitrate and sulfur was not enough, so this power was not very great in Wang Ju's eyes. Of course, it is much more powerful than the martial arts of the Song Dynasty.

Wang Ju also used the principle of mechanics to transform the trebuchet technology of the Song Dynasty, after all, for later generations, as long as they understand it, this technology is not very difficult, and also installed two sets of spring groups and a group of pulley sets, not a return gun, but it is more reasonable than the return gun design.

Wang Juzui called it a national weapon, but he didn't value it much in his heart, even if he had a return cannon and artillery, he had the ability to bring the ** weapon of the Song Dynasty to the point of the Ming Dynasty, so what? See what weapons are in the hands of the Tatars?

But if you want to take credit, there is one thing in your hand that is better than nothing.

Zhang Yu said: "Wang Zhixian, we must promote them. ”

"Manager Zhang, don't worry, I'll show you one more thing."

Wang Ju opened the last box, it was a set of armor, Wang Ju said: "Its weight is less than thirty catties, please give it a try." ”

There are two ways to try, one is to shoot with a bow and arrow to see its defense, and the other is to cut with a knife. These two levels have been cleared, and it is a qualified armor.

Zhang Yu tried it, and his face was overjoyed again: "How much does it cost?" ”

"It's not cheaper than ordinary armor, it should be similar, but Mr. Zhang, have you ever thought about its weight?"

It is repeatedly forged, the weight is reduced, the loss is increased, and the labor is also scrapped, but the weight is light. Not every soldier of the Song army can wear iron armor, but the defense of leather armor cloth armor and paper armor is very low, and the defense of iron foot armor is there, but it is too heavy, the heavy one can reach more than fifty catties, and he has to carry a weapon in his hand.

Although such a heavy infantry armor has defensive power, how can it wield its combat power on the battlefield? Even if you can't run, you can't run, so the victory can only be a small victory, and you can't catch up! Defeated, but the whole army was annihilated, and there was no escape!

What is the significance of reducing the weight by twenty pounds?

"Wang Ju, tell me how to do it," Sun Changqing said.

"Mr. Zhang, you use your knife to slash with my sword." Wang Ju pulled out his sword and said.

Zhang Yu listened to Wang Ju's meaning, came to a duel, and jumped Zhang Yu's knife out of a small opening, but Zhang Yu's saber was a good knife: "Taoxi Sword? ”

"It's the Taoxi Sword, this technique I dedicated to the imperial court a long time ago, I don't know how the imperial court dealt with it, but I have never seen a weapon smelted and forged in this way. If you look at these components again, it was forged using some techniques of the Taoxi Sword. This is just a model, a small stone cannon, which can be operated by two people, which is conducive to the use of field warfare. You can also increase the ...... It was for siege. ”

Zhang Yu and Sun Changqing both understood that this technology had to be kept secret, otherwise the Xixia people would get it, and with this extra-large fire tribulus terrestris, it would be a nightmare for the Song Dynasty.

"The production method of the Taoxi sword is very slow, so I think it is necessary to ask Sun Gong to inform the imperial court, so that the imperial court can send reliable craftsmen from the capital to Gyeongju for further research, firstly for secrecy, and secondly, for large-scale production. Not only stone cannons, but also armor, swords, guns, bows and arrows and other weapons can be improved. ”

"Wang Ju, you have a point."

"Sun Gong, the Taoxi sword and this kind of stone cannon were thought up by the late life, and the later life can be handed over to the imperial court. However, this kind of gunpowder has nothing to do with the late life, but him," Wang Juchao Li Sangou snorted: "The late life is a state official, and it must be handed over." Uncle Sangou is a common man, and the court wants him to hand it over, so give him a little reward. ”

"What reward do you want?" Sun Changqing asked Li Sangou.

Wang Judai replied: "Commanded by the Fan Fallen Army." ”

"Commander of the Fan Luo Army, no wonder you want to choose the right to the army," Sun Changqing said in surprise, and said: "Wang Zhixian, this is not a joke. ”
