Summoning the Mythical Eternal Emperor

Chapter 158 Serving tea and pouring water
That's right!

It's Zhemu!

In fact, at the beginning, Zhao Yuankai's initial tactics were completely consistent with Chen Qingzhi's.

He brought the entire Heavy Industry Division here with the original intention of manufacturing a large catapult on the spot to attack Xihe County.

But after arriving in Shangjun.

Zhao Yuankai saw the large Zhe wood forest in the east of Shangjun at a glance.

Zhemu!
This is the best wood for making a strong bow, bar none!

And it mostly grows in the north, and the east of Shangjun in Bingzhou is one of the places where Zhemu grows.

In addition, beside the Zhemu forest, there is also a large bamboo forest.

and so.

Zhao Yuankai changed his strategy.

He doesn't make a catapult, he wants to make a bed crossbow, and it's a giant bed crossbow with the power of a hundred stones!

One stone is two hundred catties, and one hundred stones is [-] catties!

A giant bed crossbow capable of stretching a force of [-] jin, when fired with one arrow, the lethality is equivalent to a full-strength strike of a master master!
"Okay! Huang Aiqing really lived up to my love!"

"Did you bring the blueprint of the bed crossbow? Submit it, and I will make a request for you!"

Zhao Yuan opened Longyan Dayue and said with a smile.

Huang Xuanhe nodded again and again, and shouted out of the tent. Two engineers and craftsmen from the Heavy Industry Department came in with a stack of drawings and spread them on the table.

It was the first time for Sun Xinwu and Chen Qingzhi to see the bed crossbow, and they were shocked!
Especially Chen Qingzhi.

He was no stranger to Zhemu. At first he thought that His Majesty had brought the entire Heavy Industry Division here to build a large number of bows and arrows to deal with the Beirong cavalry.

But it never occurred to him that what His Majesty wanted to build turned out to be such a terrifying heavy weapon.

On top of the drawing, a half-foot wooden bed was built, and three giant bows were tied to it, and with the power of the three bows, one arrow was fired!
Moreover, the arrow path is equipped with grooves, so the launch is extremely stable.

The bowstring for firing the arrow is extremely thick, and the power to draw the bow is carried out by the winch, which can be drawn with the power of several people!

"This... is this the bed crossbow? Good design, good design!"

"With the combined power of three strong bows, at least ten stone arrows can be fired!"

Chen Qingzhi was stunned and said excitedly.

but……

What Zhao Yuankai said next made him dumbfounded.

"Huang Aiqing, here is the principle of the bed crossbow, but don't follow the blueprint when building it!"

"This wooden bed can be extended to two feet wide, and I will be given ten strong bows with the strength of ten stones on it, and I will use the whole thin bamboo as an arrow!"

"The Department of Smelting is not here, so the arrow cannot be cast!"

"Listen up, Huang Aiqing, make the whole bamboo into an arrow, pierce through several knots at one end, fill it with gravel and sand, after it is blocked, sharpen the point, and that's it!"

"Within three days, I will see at least fifty bed crossbows and five hundred giant arrows fall to the ground!"

"Huang Aiqing, is there a problem?"

Zhao Yuankai asked in a deep voice.

He had been thinking about this bed crossbow for a long time on the road.

Especially the problem of giant arrows. A whole bamboo is used as an arrow, but the Department of Smelting and Casting is not there.

So Zhao Yuan opened another way.

The whole bamboo is hollow and has joints, that is, several joints are opened, sand and gravel are poured in, and the arrow has enough counterweight, then it has lethality and stability!
"Your Majesty, there is no problem!"

"Before, Weichen was thinking about how to solve the problem of arrows without arrow counterweights. I didn't expect His Majesty to solve it with a single word, and Weichen was so impressed!"

Huang Xuanhe was extremely excited, and his admiration for Zhao Yuankai deepened.

Just finished speaking, Huang Xuanhe said again:
"In addition, when His Majesty handed over the blueprints to Weichen the day before yesterday, Weichen immediately asked the Heavy Industry Division to study and study. Right now, the engineers of the Heavy Industry Division have already started to use it."

"Your Majesty, I have a request!"

"But it's okay to say!" Zhao Yuan said.

He is more and more satisfied with the chief technical engineer of the Ministry of Ordnance Industry in front of him.

People who engage in technology are so pragmatic!

"I want to ask His Majesty to lend five thousand soldiers to the craftsmen of the Heavy Industry Division... No, it's the imperial engineers!"

"Weichen can guarantee that within three days, at least one hundred giant bed crossbows will land!"

Huang Xuan and Kou knelt on the ground and said loudly.

Ah……

It’s true, but it’s okay to say!

Want five thousand white-robed troops to help the imperial engineers of the Heavy Industry Division?

Zhao Yuan smiled and looked at Chen Qingzhi.

Chen Qingzhi was startled for a moment, then he said simply:

"Your Majesty, don't say five thousand, even ten thousand, the last general will also give it!"

"If the imperial engineers of the Heavy Industry Division can really build a hundred heavy bed crossbows that can exert a huge force of [-] catties within three days, you can ask the general to serve tea and water to the heavy industry department. Willingly!"

Hey!
The majestic commander-in-chief of the Tianzi division of the Han Dynasty, and the first-rank general Xuanmeng serving tea and water to the heavy industry department?

"it is good!"

"Haha...Ziyun, I will remember your words for you!"

Zhao Yuan laughed.

As an emperor, he was most happy to see this kind of atmosphere.

Not by position, but by merit!

Sun Xinwu, who followed Zhao Yuankai the longest, was completely stunned at this moment. In more than a year, he has seen too many miracles of today's world!
This is a bed crossbow that can fire a huge force of [-] catties, and a hundred of them can be produced within three days?

Doesn't that mean that there are a hundred master masters?

Qingyou has been watching Zhao Yuankai quietly.

After getting along for a long time, the shyness faded a bit, and the pair of husband-wife eyes looking at the emperor became a bit direct.

Along the way.

She felt too much.

When the hungry people knelt down, the emperor in front of him showed compassion and compassion.

When Don't offend her, Zhao Yuankai trusted and tolerated her.

Not to mention the series of benevolent governance and pioneering work, which made Qingyou obsessed with the worship of today's emperor.

She doesn't know it's love yet.

I just know that today's Son of Heaven is different from anyone else.

Chen Qingzhi is worthy of being a hero of Confucianism through the ages, so he couldn't shirk, and said proudly:
"Your Majesty, please bear witness!"

"Your Majesty, General Xuanmeng, please don't discourage this humble minister, this joke is not acceptable!" Huang Xuanhe said hastily.

"It's hard to chase after a gentleman's words. After the victory in this battle, he will finally fulfill his promise and serve tea and water to the engineers of the Heavy Industry Division one by one!"

Chen Qingzhi bowed his hands, but he didn't mean to be joking at all.

Huang Xuanhe might not have thought of that much, but Chen Qingzhi was very clear about the emperor's mind.

Why not hit Xihe County directly?

That's Zhao Yuankai's reluctance to sacrifice the emperor's casualties!

If it is true that a hundred bed crossbows land on the ground in three days, this tough battle that caused Chen Qingzhi a headache will become very easy to fight!
The so-called easy fighting means that there are not so many casualties and sacrifices!

Under the command of Master Tianzi, everyone is a good man, and everyone is the heart and soul of the general Chen Qingzhi!
How about serving tea and pouring water?
"Don't say that."

"Ziyun, Huang Xuanhe, the first priority right now is to make a bed crossbow. All tactics focus on defense and dig deep trenches!"

Zhao Yuan waved his hand, his face would be cold and serious.

　The excitement continues tomorrow.

　　Good night, sweet dreams
