Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 250 Too Exaggerated
Zhao Boying was very disturbed. The six wealthy families in Shuozhou surrendered to the Tang army, and they had no connections in the Li and Tang courts.What's more, their relationship with Chen Ying is more like a transaction.Chen Ying took out [-] shi of grain, and the children of the six wealthy families worked hard for Chen Ying. The two sides traded fairly and each took what he needed.

Just as Chen Ying sighed, Zhao Boying actually had selfish intentions.He was almost seventy years old, and he didn't have much work left.But the life of his youngest son Zhao Haoxin has just begun.If Chen Ying agrees to leave a trace of blood for the Zhao family in Shuozhou, let alone get promoted and get rich, it would be good to just leave a way to survive.

Chen Ying did not directly agree.Because Chen Ying understands that things that are easier to get are less cherished, and things that are obtained through hard work are often cherished.It was precisely because of this that Chen Ying showed a noncommittal expression on his face, and looked at Zhao Haoxin lightly.

Zhao Haoxin pretended to be very heroic. Seeing him puffing out his chest and staring at him, Chen Ying felt that he looked like a child, which was ridiculous.

Chen Ying took a breath and shook his head slightly.He is now more and more proficient in the art of leadership, and he has been thrilling all the way. If he doesn't have this ability, he will be useless.It took Zhao Boying half a stick of incense to dry, and it should be about the same time. At this time, Zhao Boying had thin beads of sweat on his forehead, and he didn't know whether it was the hot weather or nervousness.

In this day and age, scholars are a rare species, especially in Lingzhou, which makes Chen Ying extremely sad. He can't even find teachers who can open literacy classes for de-blindness.What's more, with Chen Ying's current achievements, it is almost a certainty to be promoted.If you go up the military rank, you can get the power to establish a government and establish a dental office. Chen Ying's thirst for talents is endless.

As for Zhao Boying's son, let alone a dozen, Chen Ying would not be too many.

Chen Ying snorted softly, and asked lightly, "How many books have you read?"

Zhao Haoxin asked cautiously: "Reporting to General, Haoxin has read "Poems, Books", "The Analects of Confucius", "Spring and Autumn" and "Numbers."

If Zhao Haoxin didn't mention "Numbers", Chen Ying basically wouldn't have tested him, but he just mentioned the field that Chen Ying is best at. For food, cavalry and war horses eat a bucket of food every day. This general has ten thousand shi of food, and marching for half a month, how much can he lead the infantry at most, how much is the cavalry?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Haoxin immediately picked up a small wooden stick and started to calculate on the ground.Zhao Haoxin told Chen Ying the result of the calculation in about a stick of incense: "You can lead more than 6000 cavalry and [-] infantry."

In fact, this question is not a question at all, and there are many groups of answers.You can have one infantry, all cavalry, or no cavalry, all infantry, or a mix of infantry and cavalry.The original purpose of Chen Ying's assessment was to test Zhao Haoxin's skills. This simple assessment shows that Zhao Haoxin has basic calculation ability.

Chen Yingdao: "I ordered you to be the commander of Lingzhou Bing Cao."

Both the general manager's office and the local government in the Tang Dynasty had a vertical management system. Lingzhou's general manager's office is an example. In addition to the official positions of Changshi, Jishi, Jishi, and Jishi, Chen Ying also served as a soldier, judiciary, and secretary. Sicang, Siyue, Sishi, Sihu and others joined the army.However, under the various functions of joining the army, there are also officials such as Fu, Shi, Xu, and Tu.And Zhao Haoxin, the official of the Bing Cao, is equivalent to an official under the subordinate of the Bing Cao.In theory, the level is equivalent to the department-level cadres of later generations.

Zhao Haoxin was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Thank you, General, for your kindness!"

Although the official Zhao Haoxin has just entered the stream, he is quite from the eighth rank.However, for Zhao Haoxin, this is a step up to the sky.

Seeing that Zhao Boying's son had been appointed by Chen Ying as a soldier, Xu Caifu also recommended his son Xu Yigong to Chen Ying.Chen Ying also made a pretentious assessment and was appointed as the official of the storehouse.That is, a small officer who manages the warehouse.

This is tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest. Guo Rui, Dong An, Ren Bi, Feng Kelan and others also recommended their nephews to Chen Ying as officials. A little real talent.Chen Ying accepted all the orders.

Of course, everyone is happy to do so.The six wealthy families in Shuozhou sent their direct descendants to Chen Ying, not only to gain an official job, but also to act as hostages to express their loyalty to Chen Ying.

In fact, Chen Ying did not expect it either.Later, the Lingwu Department, a very powerful political faction in the Tang Dynasty, was born under Yanmenguan City in this way.

The future officials of the Lingwu rate all have a very obvious characteristic. These officials from the Lingwu department can manage the army when they are on horseback, and shepherds when they are off their horses. They are all talented in civil and military affairs.

The weather in the afternoon was very stuffy, Chen Ying was sweating a lot, and wanted to find someone to get some cold water to take a bath, but before Chen Ying ordered to prepare the bath water, Chen Ying heard a burst of cheers from outside the tent.

Chen Ying raised his head and asked, "Go and ask what happened!"

Liang Zan said: "Ge Tong, please see me!"

Chen Ying became puzzled instead: "Who is this Ge Tong?"

Liang Zan said: "It seems that in the morning, that old craftsman was surnamed Ge!"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Let him in!"

After a while, Ge Tong came to the big tent dancing and dancing: "General, it's done, it's done!"

"What happened!" At this moment, Chen Ying never remembered that he ordered Ge Yong to build the Xiangyang Cannon.

Hearing that Ge Tong said that the new trebuchet had come out, Chen Ying was very happy, and regardless of the hot weather, he put on his armor and brought a knife, and rushed out of the tent: "Let's go and have a look!"

At this time, the Tang army camp outside Yanmen Pass did not have an independent general camp at all. The place where the trebuchet was manufactured was in the corner of the Shuozhou army camp named temporarily by Chen Ying. It can be seen that the trebuchet is about five or six feet high, almost as high as a four-story building.

The shape is like a huge gantry crane, lifting a huge weight.Chen Ying had just begun to think that although the Xiangyang gun-type counterweight trebuchet was simple, it would not be possible to do it in a short time because of the pulley block.

In fact, Chen Ying once again underestimated the ancients. The craftsmen led by Ge Tong actually used [-]-smelted steel to build twelve sets of pulley blocks. With this set of pulleys, even an ordinary soldier can easily throw stones with counterweights. The counterweight equipment is re-lifted.

What surprised Chen Ying the most was that although the projectile rod used a thick and thick tree trunk as the projectile arm, the clever Ge Tong wrapped the very easy-to-wear parts with an iron bag.

Chen Ying saw this huge counterweight trebuchet and asked Ge Tong, "Have you tried it?"

Ge Tong shook his head and said, "I haven't tried it yet!"

"Then... let's try it now!" Chen Yong said in an unquestionable tone: "Put stone bombs in, first put a stone bomb weighing two hundred catties in, and see how powerful it is!"

Unaware of the power of the catapult, Chen Ying ordered people to clear away the people within a radius of [-] paces.Chen Ying originally wanted to personally operate a trebuchet that did not exist in this era, but Liang Zan refused to let Chen Ying try it.

After Liang Zan and everyone else dodged, they cut the hemp rope on the extension arm with a knife. After a tooth-piercing creak sounded, the heavy counterweight stones quickly pressed the extension arm up. The extension arm also drives the rope, and the rope rotates with the rocks. The extension arm seems to move very slowly, but the rope on the extension arm rotates very powerfully. After a circle of acceleration in mid-air, it is set in advance The good rope tore open the leather bag, and the one-hundred-jin stone bomb flew out.

A huge stone bullet weighing one hundred catties hit Xuan'er and flew in the air, impartially, hitting the camp wall 350 steps away.

With a click, the battalion fell down.

Chen Ying exclaimed: "Hold the grass, this is too exaggerated!"

PS: It's the end of the month, the last day, and the monthly pass will be invalidated in 24 hours, everyone, don't waste it.
