Chapter 26 The Bell
Soon, Gu Datou appeared at the gate of the scout camp, smiled and waved to Ren Ning.

what!
Ren Ning was very surprised, "This time the fortress is going out, don't you guys have the opportunity to ride the Eighth Battalion?"

groove.

It's okay if you don't ask for a levy, but when you mention the word "leisure", the smiling Gu Datou suddenly changes color.

He cursed, "It's all our stupid corporal chiefs' fault. They usually run around like rabbits after eating, and when it comes to asking for a fight, they become his own shrinking turtles..."

Gu Datou actually won't gain much if he swears, but he repeated a few words over and over again, and kept yelling all the way.

Ren Ning's ears were almost callused, and the soldiers passing by also looked sideways.

Until the two stepped into the construction camp, Gu Datou still didn't stop.

"Come on." Ren Ning signaled him to shut up for the first time, "If you scold Shangfeng like this, it will reach their ears. I will wear your little shoes in the future."

"I'm afraid of them." The penniless Gu Datou was not afraid at all, "I helped them earn most of their military achievements. Dare you give me little shoes? Be careful, I'll crush their eggs."

Ren Ning couldn't laugh or cry.

Although Gu Datou was full of foul words, he did not exaggerate.

As long as he is on the battlefield, once he gets ruthless, he will really block people and kill horses and tear horses.It is indeed a good way to earn military merit.

But Yanfeng Fortress pays attention to the fact that the team advances and retreats together, regardless of rewards and punishments, the whole team will share.

The subordinates are brave enough to kill the enemy like hemp, and the top forward can naturally get a lot of military merits.

"The problem is that you have earned so much military merit, and you are always cursing and behaving like this. How much can you get?" Ren Ning patted him on the shoulder.

"Since the top striker is useless, we don't even dare to take the initiative to fight. We can bear it for a while. With your ability to take care of the big head, there are plenty of opportunities to accumulate military merit. When we have accumulated enough military merit, we will stand up and make decisions for those who have no eggs. Go up the front..."

After a long meal of persuasion, Gu Datou finally calmed down.

The construction camp was much smaller than the horse breeding camp, but there were clanging irons everywhere, but it was much more lively than the deserted horse breeding camp.

Ren Ning casually grabbed a passing apprentice and asked where his master was.

After a while, the two of them followed the apprentice to the black Tie Tiangong.

Tie Tiangong is old and has gray hair.Right now, with his upper body naked, he was sweating profusely, clanging a big iron ingot.

Ren Ning took a closer look and almost vomited blood.

Tie Tiangong was actually building a plow.

That's right, it is the plow used by farmers to plow the land.

Ren Ning blinked.

Generally speaking, all supplies in the fortress were provided by the central court.

However, in recent years, various natural disasters have been staged in the empire in turn, and the counties and counties have been severely affected, and the treasury has been continuously withdrawing materials to relieve the localities.As a result, the supply of the fortress is intermittent, and even if there is, it will take a long time to be delivered.

There are 15 defenders and nearly [-] horses who can't easily go hungry.

In the end, Huo Zheng, the general who defended the fortress, had to order some soldiers to participate in farming in and around the fortress, so as not to starve without food.

When Ren Ning had just returned to the scout camp from the grassland, he had seen someone planting vegetables in the camp.

Before Mrs. Zhang became a military doctor, she made a living by farming in a small village called Stone Village to the east of the fortress.

Those villages are also assets of the fortress.Whenever the villagers' crops are harvested, the fortress will send people out to buy or exchange materials.

Of course, it is different from the horses raised by the herdsmen forcibly "buying" by the Xiliang court.The villagers living in these villages are relatives of certain soldiers in the fortress, and they are regarded as their own family members.

Therefore, the purchase price of the fortress is relatively fair and just.

Sometimes the fortress will even provide seeds or production tools for free to some people who have recently migrated to the vicinity.

And those production tools were made by the craftsmen in front of them.

The two waited patiently for a long time, and did not pay attention to them until Tie Tiangong stopped to rest.

"What's the matter with you?" The iron striker had his own iron voice.When Tie Tiangong spoke, his voice was comparable to that of Gu Datou when he was furious, which made Ren Ning's ears ringing.

He quickly handed over the drawings to explain his purpose.

"You two are scouts?" Tie Tiangong ignored him, but looked at Gu Datou suspiciously.

He saw a lot of scouts, but such a big scout was rare.

Gu Datou scratched his bare head, "I am a cavalryman, and he is a scout. He was injured and unable to move. I accompanied him here."

Tie Tiangong suddenly realized.

He looked back at Ren Ning, "What kind of mess are you going to do this time?"

In order for the scouts to safely and smoothly bring the spied information back to the fortress, various means of life-saving or secrecy emerged endlessly, which is amazing.

Because the scouts had too many strange requests, every craftsman who received their orders was a headache.

This is not a big deal.

Often the craftsmen have been thinking hard for ten days and months, and they may not have figured out how to build it.

After finally coming up with an idea, he worked hard to create a sample, but he couldn't wait for the scouts to come back and try it out.

This is what makes people vomit blood.

It can be said that the fortress is the most unpopular type of unit in the Forge Battalion, and scouts are definitely among the best, and they are absolutely invincible.

Ren Ning laughed and said, "It's just ordinary weapons and tools. If you don't believe me, take a look, Master Tie."

Ordinary weapons and tools?
Tie Tiangong didn't believe a word.

He glanced at the blueprint on the top, and he was relieved when he saw that it was really a well-proportioned short knife.

"This time I also brought the blueprints, and I have made progress."

The other scouts came with their mouths open, made a fuss about it, and then let the craftsmen create it out of thin air.

Relatively speaking, Ren Ning in front of him is much more reliable.

"What kind of stuff are the drawings?" Tie Tiangong was about to put down the drawings, "I'm very busy now. If you don't need it urgently, go back and wait patiently. I will send someone to notify you when it is ready... "

Suddenly, he paused, and quickly brought the drawing back to his eyes, staring closely at the graphics on it.

"What kind of painting is this? It seems quite organized." He pulled Ren Ning to him. "Why have I never seen it?"

Ren Ning didn't care, and explained the three views again in detail.

Compared with Gao Deming, who only knows how to train scouts, Tie Tiangong, a craftsman, understands the three-view much faster.

He quickly realized the brilliance of Ren Ning's painting method, and ignored the unformed plowshare, and insisted on asking Ren Ning to teach him to understand.

Ren Ning was also helpless.

Mechanical drawing is a whole discipline.It is not easy to think that a pure novice will be taught in a short time, especially if the novice has no modern mathematics knowledge at all.

But he didn't show it, but patiently explained the meanings of the various line size marks on the picture and so on.

The younger ones spoke in detail, while the older ones listened carefully.

Time passed without knowing it.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Suddenly the huge bell on the east gate of the fortress rang heavily.

The bell was not in a hurry, and it was struck every ten breaths, for a total of ten strikes.

Take the meaning of perfection.

This is the fortress to remind itself and the surrounding villages far and near.

Everything is safe at the border at this time, everyone can rest assured.And it's time for dinner.

This bell will be rung every day for peace.When Ren Ning first returned to the fortress, he was woken up by it many times.But after so many days, he is used to it now.

Gu Datou, who was dozing next to him, woke up suddenly.

He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, "Old Ren, can we eat?"

"You bastard..." Ren Ning couldn't laugh or cry.

This is a construction camp, and the irons are clanging all the time, so Gu Datou can actually fall asleep.It was a bit better than the ability of the scouts to fall asleep.

"Ren Ning, right?" Tie Tiangong asked about Ren Ning's barracks number carefully, and patted the drawing paper on his hands with emotion, "You are really a good thing. After dinner, the blacksmith wants to go to you again Ask carefully."

"I wonder if you are free tonight?" He asked.

Ren Ning shook his head.

He is now restricted in going in and out, and there is nothing to do in the long night except feeding the horse or thinking about the weapon that suits him.

If Tie Tiangong wanted to learn some knowledge of modern cartography, he wouldn't mind teaching it.

At least if you want to build something handy in the future, you can find people.
