The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 125 Entering the Noble Class
After confirming that Li Mu has a deep chest and possesses real talents and learning, Fusu naturally values ​​him very much.

Immediately arranged a banquet, entertained them well, and at the banquet, Fusu also deliberately or unintentionally probed, and mentioned Li Mu's identity as a native of Zhao.

As a result, Li Mu said, "Whether Zhao is from Chu or from Chu, they are all from Great Qin now", which made Fusu burst into joy and joy.

I sigh that if everyone thinks like Li Mu, the world will really be peaceful.

After a feast for the host and guests, Fusu asked Li Mu what he could do to improve the combat effectiveness of the Qin army.

Li Mu didn't talk nonsense, and immediately threw out the artifact set for the rise of the traverser: Takahashi saddle, stirrups, and horseshoes.

If the time traveled is after the Han Dynasty, this so-called time traveler artifact set is naturally useless, because these things have already appeared in the world.

But before the Han Dynasty, that was definitely the best entry level.

It's ridiculous that Yi Xiaochuan is an idiot, because he doesn't dare to change history, he doesn't dare to do anything.

The saddle, the stirrup, and the horseshoe were the simplest things, and it was impossible for him not to know them, but he never brought them up.

Even after becoming Meng Yi and taking charge of the Meng Family Army, he didn't think about taking the initiative to improve the combat effectiveness of the Qin Army, and would always follow the trend.

However, he happened to intervene in history again and again, becoming a key figure in promoting history.

The most stupid thing about Yi Xiaochuan is that in the ancient pre-Qin era when human life was like nothing, he still held the moral concepts of later generations.

Not only is he unwilling to kill, but he also saves people at every turn, even if it is an enemy of a foreign race.

Even he is unwilling to use weapons on the battlefield. Facing the enemy who slaughtered his own people, he would rather resist with a pole than slash with a sword.

But he would not consider how many of his own people were killed by the enemy because of his mercilessness.

There is also the Hun woman Dexiang, who he controlled very well at the beginning, and used Dexiang to train the Flying Tigers for himself.

But when the Xiongnu invaded, he actually chose to let Dexiang go, but the woman killed countless of his robes in turn.

If it was Li Mu, even if she wasn't killed, at least she would be put under house arrest and dealt with after the war ended.

Some people say that Yi Xiaochuan is the Holy Mother, but in Li Mu's opinion, the word "bitch" has to be added after it.

He only insisted on his own moral concepts, but he didn't know how many people died because of him.

I behave indiscreetly, and I am in the modern way. I actually say "I love you to death" to women in this era, and even kiss other people's foreheads.

As a result, after touching other people's heartstrings, they just dismissed others as younger sisters, without any consideration of the thinking and cognition of women in this era, and are not responsible at all.

It was Lu Su who troubled Li Muyi the most, but it was a pity that he was a bit late to replace and failed to save this girl.

What Yi Xiaochuan has done since he crossed the Qin Dynasty can be described as extremely stupid, but he still thinks he is a good person.

Because he made friends with Liu Bang deliberately, Gao Yao fell into the quagmire, but he despised Gao Yao's filth.

But what Gao Yao thinks of all the time is that it is beneficial to bring his brothers.

The sentence "It doesn't matter whether the Great Qin is dead or not, as long as we brothers can get along well" can be said to be the most true expression of Gao Yao's heart.

But in Yi Xiaochuan's view, if such a Gao is a bad person, he would disdain to be with him.

Before Gao Yao was completely blackened, he never felt sorry for Yi Xiaochuan, but Yi Xiaochuan had sorry for too many people, especially Gao Yao.

Now that Li Mu is replaced by Gao Yao, he wants to see what will happen to Yi Xiaochuan's fate.

……

There are craftsmen in the Prince's Mansion, under the guidance of Li Mu, and Fusu observes from the sidelines, the harness suit is freshly baked.

Fusu immediately ordered someone to bring the horse and try it out on the spot.

Sure enough, with the Takahashi saddle and stirrups, riding is extremely stable, and the knight's hands can be freed.

Fusu naturally understood what this meant to the Great Qin cavalry.

Because there are no stirrups in this era, the so-called saddle is just a layer of cushions on the horse's back.

Therefore, the cavalry of this era, in addition to shooting crossbow arrows when charging, can only hold the spear under their armpit with one hand, and rely on the impact of horsepower to stab the enemy.

Or just slashing with a sword in one hand, there is no advantage in the face of pawns who are facing several meters of spears, and they are like living targets. In this case, the survival rate of cavalry is extremely low.

But if the hands can be freed, the cavalry can use both hands to hold long weapons for more flexible combat.

After running a few laps in Fuzhong's school yard, Fusu got off his horse excitedly, and said to Li Mu, "Sir, you are a great talent. With the Gaoqiao saddle and stirrups, the combat effectiveness of our Daqin cavalry has been greatly improved."

"Horseshoes can also prevent the horseshoes of war horses from wearing out, greatly reducing the consumption of war horses."

"Sir has made such a great contribution, I will definitely report to my father and ask for credit for him."

Li Mu smiled and said, "My lord, don't worry, I still have a sharp weapon that goes with this stirrup and saddle. After making this sharp weapon, you will report it to His Majesty soon."

Fusu was even more excited when he heard this, and said happily, "I don't know what sharp weapon it is?"

Li Muluo pondered for a while, and said: "I will call it 'Rifu Liannu' below."

When Fusu heard this, he took this matter a few more seriously.

Things like crossbows can be called the most important weapon of the country, and it is one of the invincible and invincible reliance of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The Rifle Crossbow mentioned by Li Mu is the semi-automatic crossbow of the later generations.

This kind of continuous crossbow is equipped with a quiver on the crossbow, which can put ten or more crossbow arrows at the same time.

The winding method is similar to that of a rifle, you can wind it with one stroke, and then shoot, the rate of fire is extremely fast.

Loading arrows is also very convenient, just put the crossbow arrows directly from the upper part of the arrow box, which is even easier than loading bullets into the magazine.

Such a crossbow is almost no different from a bolt-action rifle.

If the craftsmanship can keep up, it is even possible to manufacture a quiver that can be replaced at any time, just like a magazine.

In this way, high-frequency shooting can be achieved only by bringing a few full arrow boxes in advance, and even the installation of arrows can be omitted.

Moreover, according to different needs, it can also be combined with Daqin's crossbow technology to design the stretching crossbow, arm stretching crossbow, and crossbow cart respectively.

Daqin's crossbow, which is wound with the foot, can shoot up to two hundred steps, or about 300 meters.

This kind of crossbow has such a strong tension that it is impossible to string it by hand. The crossbowman needs to sit on the ground, hold the crossbow arm with both feet, and then use both hands to hold the crossbow string and bend it backwards to wind it smoothly.

The arm-stretched crossbow is directly wound by hand, and the range is less than a hundred steps, but the advantage is that the stringing is faster than the kick-stretched crossbow.

Needless to say, the ballista is equivalent to the cannon of the cold weapon era, with a range of more than four hundred steps, that is, 600 meters.

There is no need to question the power of the Qin Crossbow, its only limitation is that it is wound slowly, and often it cannot shoot a few waves, and the two sides are close to each other.

If Li Mu can create a continuous crossbow to solve the problem of slow winding, then the combat effectiveness of the Qin army will be more than doubled?
The effect of Li Mu's description of the continuous crossbow made Fu Su Gan'er tremble when he heard it.

"Sir, does this kind of Liannu really exist in this world?"

Li Mu shook his head with a smile and said, "It doesn't exist in this world, but didn't many things never exist, created by people, and become existing?"

Fu Su happily said: "What what you say is very true, if that's the case, then Mr. Lao will make a sample, and then I will present it with the saddle to the father, and ask for credit for the master."

Li Mu clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your support, Young Master. Mu Ding will live up to your trust."

Fusu took his arms and said with a smile: "I am the one to thank you. Sir is to Daqin what the Grand Duke is to Western Zhou. In the future, I will have to rely more on you."

……

Half a month later, after research by Li Mu and the craftsmen of the Prince's Mansion, the first Rifle Crossbow came out.

The shape of this continuous crossbow, if you don't look at the crossbow arm, is really exactly the same as a rifle.

The overall length of the crossbow is more than three feet long. There is a quiver on the crossbow body, the handle and the reciprocating device for winding are all in the shape of a handle. He also added a crossbow stock similar to an AK.

This design greatly improves the stability of the crossbow and can overcome the "top-heavy" problem caused by the arrow box.

In the school grounds, Fusu and the generals of the Fuzhong guards were watching, while Li Mu was standing sixty paces away from the target board with his rifle in his hand.

Before the official display, Li Mu had already tested the arrow path, so he knew the accuracy of this crossbow.

Since the arrow box blocks the top, this repeater is aimed sideways.

After loading the crossbow, Li Mu held the grip of the crossbow handle with his right hand, put the crossbow stock on his right shoulder, and held the handle of the rifle with his left hand and pulled it back. With a click, the string was smoothly mounted on the buckle .

Returning the left-hand rifle grip forward is a necessary action, otherwise, when shooting, the crossbow string will suddenly bounce back to the front of the rifle grip, easily causing damage to the rifle mechanism.

Anyone who has played with BB toy guns knows this truth.

After winding the string, Li Mu put his index finger on the trigger, aimed slightly, and pulled the trigger decisively.

"Boom"

While the crossbow strings vibrated, the crossbow bolts were shot out vigorously, and he kept his hand on. After shooting one arrow, he immediately moved the crossbow string with his left hand, and shot another arrow.

Li Mu shot out the arrows at a speed of one arrow per second, and the capacity of the arrow box was twelve arrows.

Within ten seconds, all the crossbow bolts were shot out and hit the target, most of them were in the bull's-eye or near the bull's-eye.

"it is good."

"Good crossbow."

"True is the sharp weapon of the country."

Fusu and the other generals couldn't help cheering loudly, they were all inexplicably excited.

With this sharp weapon in the Great Qin, what is the point of mere Xiongnu Rongdi?
After witnessing the power of the Fuliannu with his own eyes, Fusu couldn't wait any longer, and immediately went to the palace to meet the First Emperor, and reported the matter to him.

The first emperor asked Fusu to bring the harness and crossbow, and he tried it himself in the palace. Sure enough, Long Yan was overjoyed, and immediately issued an imperial edict according to Fusu's suggestion of rewards.

……

"Emperor Shihuang issued an edict: Today, there is a high-ranking man from Handan, who has made meritorious service by presenting horses and crossbows. Zenghua, always be prepared and unremitting, and make another contribution to the Great Qin, I admire this."

In the hall of the prince's mansion, the internal officials announced the edict, and Li Mu received the edict to thank him.

The title system of the Qin Dynasty is a [-]-level military title system, corresponding to the four classes of scholars, doctors, ministers, and marquises.

There are four grades in the scholar class, from low to high, they are Gongshi, Shangzao, Zaniao, and Buchang.

There are five grades in the doctor class, namely the doctor, the official doctor, the public doctor, the public carrier, and the five doctors.

There are nine ranks in the Qing class, which are Zuo Shuzhang, You Shuzhang, Zuo Geng, Zhong Geng, You Geng, Shaoshangzao, Dashangzao, Siche Shuzhang, and Dashuzhang.

There are only two levels of the Hou class, Guannei Hou and Che Hou.

Li Mu's middle rank is No. 13 among the [-] ranks, and he belongs to the middle class.

And Zhan Shi in the Prince's Mansion is equivalent to Fusu's chief steward, commanding all the subordinates and all the servants in the Prince's Mansion.

But that's just equivalent to that Zhan Shi is a serious official position, one of the nine ministers among the three officials and nine ministers, not as simple as an ordinary housekeeper, but with real power.

All in all, now that Li Mu is in Fusu's son's mansion, he is under one person and above ten thousand.

The reason why Fusu trusted him so much was naturally not only because he offered horse gear and crossbows.

And in the past half a month, he had many exchanges with Li Mu. Although Li Mu always said that he "understands a little bit", Fusu discovered that he is really a generalist and seems to understand everything.

With a little understanding of this, Fusu naturally regarded him as self-effacing.

Li Mu can be called a prime minister, so managing his small son's mansion is naturally a trivial matter.

There is no problem with loyalty, Li Mu has completely gained Fusu's trust in the past half a month of getting along.

Of course, the soul-shifting method is also an important factor.

In short, when Yi Xiaochuan was still building the Great Wall in the north, Li Mu had already become the real powerful class in Daqin.

……

"Gao Qing, I know that with your talent, it's a bit humiliating to be a master, but now I don't have any talents who can take on great responsibilities under my command, so I have to humiliate you for a while."

"When the time is right in the future, I will definitely advise my father and give you a chance to display your talents."

After hearing Fusu's words, Li Mu said gratefully: "Young master, what did you say? It is Gao Yao's honor to serve you, so why should you feel wronged?"

Fu Su said gratifiedly: "In the future, I will have to trouble you a lot to deal with affairs in the mansion. I don't know if Gao Qing needs me to do it for you?"

Li Muluo pondered for a while, and said seriously: "Originally, this subordinate has just taken office and has not accomplished an inch of merit, so I shouldn't make any demands, but my subordinate does have a matter, and only the young master can help this subordinate."

Fusu smiled and said, "Tell me about it."

Li Mudao: "That's right, there is an old friend under my command, who was from Ji County in the old state of Chu. When Chu State fell, several sisters of his same clan were arrested and taken into the palace to be maids of honor."

"Before he died, he entrusted me to find these girls and take care of them more. It's called being entrusted by others and being loyal to others. Therefore, I want to ask the young master for help to bring these girls out of the palace."

Fusu listened to Li Mu's words, and praised: "What a 'trusted by others, loyal thing', Gao Qing is honest and noble, benevolent and righteous, Fusu admires it."

"It's not a difficult matter. Does Gao Qing know the whereabouts of the girls?"

Li Mu felt relieved, sure enough, he had to help Su to get people from the palace.

"The subordinates only know that the youngest girl works in the weaving and embroidery workshop. Her name is Xiaoyue. Her two elder sisters don't know for the time being. We can only wait to see Xiaoyue first, and then see if she knows."

Li Mu really doesn't know where Xiaoyue's two older sisters are now.

But he knew that when Yushu came to Daqin and became Concubine Li of Daqin, her two older sisters would be transferred to serve in Concubine Li's bedroom.

Finally, a plague broke out in Concubine Li's bedroom, and her two sisters died of the plague.

This matter was really not a difficult matter for Fusu, and he didn't even need to come forward in person.

He just said hello to the relevant personnel, and someone went to handle it for him, and Xiaoyue was sent to the Prince's Mansion two days later.

……

In Li Mu's residence, Xiaoyue knelt on the ground anxiously, and said to Li Mu: "Xiaoyue pays respects to Zhan Shijun."

Today's Xiaoyue looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she has grown up like a flower, graceful and graceful, and is beginning to show a bit of "poppie" demeanor.

Li Muwen said: "Get up, you don't need to bow down when you see me from now on."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Zhan." Xiaoyue stood up, still not daring to look at Li Mu with her head down.

Li Mu said softly, "Raise your head."

Xiaoyue raised her head, but saw Li Mu staring at her absent-mindedly, she couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

Li Mu murmured: "Like, it's so similar, it's exactly the same."

Xiaoyue was full of doubts, she didn't know why, but she didn't dare to ask more questions.

After a long time, Li Mucai said softly: "Xiaoyue, don't call me Zhan Shijun from now on, call me brother, okay?"

Xiaoyue lowered her head again, and said fearfully, "Xiaoyue dare not."

Li Mu smiled and said, "I want to recognize you as my younger sister, so why not?"

Xiaoyue said weakly: "Xiaoyue dare not climb high."

Li Mu sighed: "There is no such thing as a high climber, and I will not hide it from you. I have a biological sister named Gao Lan, but I lost her."

"And you...you look exactly like her, not bad at all."

"I don't want you to be her substitute, because I know you are Xiaoyue, not Gao Lan. You are two different people."

"But seeing your face, I can't help but want to be nice to you, Xiaoyue, I want to recognize you as my other sister, and I will love you as my own sister, are you willing?"

Li Mu always talked to her in a pleasant manner, and the fear and anxiety in Xiaoyue's heart finally gradually disappeared.

She bravely raised her head and saw tears glistening in Li Mu's eyes, her heart softened.

She asked cautiously: "Sister Gao Lan and I, are we really that similar?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Really, it's exactly right. If other people who know Gao Lan see you, they will definitely regard you as Gao Lan."

He turned around and wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and continued, "Both my parents died when I was young, and I lived with my younger sister Gao Lan."

"An accident separated us, and I haven't been able to find her since then."

"A few days ago when I entered the palace, I accidentally saw you tending flowers and plants. I thought I saw Gao Lan in a daze."

"But I know you're not her. My younger sister is hot-tempered and carefree. It's impossible to be so patient in tending flowers and plants."

"And not only is her temperament different, but she is also much older than you. She should be in her twenties now."

After hearing Li Mu's words, Xiaoyue comforted her softly, "Xiaoyue believes that elder sister Gao Lan is a lucky person with her own destiny, and she must still live in this world well, you..."

Li Muwen interrupted her, and said, "Call me brother."

Xiaoyue paused, and changed her words in a polite manner: "Xiaoyue believes that my brother will see sister Gao Lan again one day."

Li Mu turned around and said cheerfully: "I also believe this. After all, God treats me kindly. After losing one sister, he sent another sister to me."

"Xiaoyue, from today onwards, I will be your brother and you will be my sister."
