The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 189: Engineer Shovel

"Master... Young Master..."

Guo Nuan and Da Biao are drinking in a restaurant.Suddenly, a group of military food escorts came up the aisle outside the store.Listen attentively.There is a familiar voice named Guo Nuan.

"Ah. Ah Fu. Why are you here?" Guo Nuan hurriedly beckoned him to come over.It is said that the restaurants and teahouses in Lingzhou City are all square and low bungalows made of simple and rough loess.Due to the hot and dry climate.The house here is also ventilated on three sides.The front door is supported by several beams.Tents stretch out in front of the other doors.So the sharp-eyed A Fu passed by and found Guo Nuan and Da Biao in the restaurant.

Ah Fu and the captain of the ration escort department muttered a few times.He then happily left the team and entered Guo Nuan's table in the restaurant.

"I heard that the master is going to conquer the area at the junction of Qinghai Lake in the west. Hexi's logistics supplies have been continuously transported here. Ah Fu was transferred to logistics to supervise the transportation of food after he finished his work in the military registration office. Some food and grass accounts are worthwhile." Ah Fu looked dusty.A little tired at the moment.He grabbed a jug of wine on the table and drank it.

"En. It seems to be quite busy. The battle is so big. I don't worry that the Tibetans will know. It seems that we are going to fight a head-to-head war." Guo Nuan nodded with a smile.It seems that Ah Fu can already practice alone.He could see that Ah Fu was no longer a child.

After chatting for a while in the wine shop.Ah Fu hastily handed over 20 taels of silver to Guo Nuan and Da Biao.He said that his young master was short of money.These extra bonuses from him won't be used much in this corner of the mountain.He asked Guo Nuan and Da Biao to use it for practical purposes.Guo Nuan accepted it after delaying it.

Ah Fu soon followed the military food transport team to the area around the military supply warehouse in the Chiling Mountains in the upper reaches of the Yellow River.Guo Nuan and Da Biao went back to the barracks after wandering around the cold urban area like a small county town.

A blacksmith's shop in Lingzhou City.Guo Nuan used the silver given by Ah Fu to build a modern folding engineering shovel.This was customized by Guo Nuan after spending more than a month traveling to and from the blacksmith shop in Lingzhou City to repeatedly communicate with the blacksmith.For this advanced product.Da Biao was overjoyed when Guo Nuan gave such a big gift.

It is said that Guo Nuan liked to travel in her previous life.Traveling is unavoidable in the wild to break through thorny roads or dig ditches while camping.A sapper shovel can be very useful.

For sapper shovel.Guo Nuan still knew something.So now come to Datang.He and the most skilled blacksmith master in Shuofang Lingzhou City jointly made a sapper shovel.It is said that Lingzhou City is an important military town.Soldiers gathered around.Soldiers' weapons are inevitably worn out.If you don't go to the military department in the military camp for repairs, you can save money and go to the blacksmith shop in the city for repairs.Therefore, the blacksmith shop here still has high skills in military weapons.It is not surprising that an engineer shovel can produce Guo Nuan.

This engineer shovel was designed.By the way, the ancients who have never seen this modern engineer shovel really feel a little awkward.A shovel is not like a shovel.There is also a folding pick attached to the back of its triangular-pointed shovel cover.The blade of the shovel was also serrated.

"What is this? A shovel. It doesn't look like anything." Da Biao looked at the weird shovel in his hand and was puzzled.

Guo Nuan asked the master blacksmith to roll the handle of the shovel with a thick iron sheet into two iron pipes and connect it with a mortise and tenon structure to support and fold it.This long handle can be folded into two sections for easy carrying.The handle of the shovel was also coated with asphalt paint.It looks so dark and inconspicuous.The less people understand such a practical treasure, the better.Guo Nuan thinks.Otherwise, if it is stolen, it will be very troublesome to work hard to get another one.

Guo Nuan considered that Da Biao liked to fight with a shovel.This sapper shovel is just right for him.There is a round hole drilled in the handle.Da Biao can tie it in his rucksack with a rope.In this way, it is very convenient to carry when swimming across the Yellow River.

"Hehe. My brother's idea is not bad. The handle is designed according to the grip mechanics of the human body. It is absolutely smooth." Guo Nuan couldn't help boasting when he saw Da Biao's amazed appearance.

As for what is called human mechanics.Da Biao didn't quite understand.But after having this shovel, he felt that he really got a lot of help.

The blade of the shovel is made of well-quenched high-carbon steel.Guo Nuan almost broke his fortune because of this shovel, and spent all the copper coins on his body.Now he is a poor recruit.Fortunately, Ah Fu sent about 20 taels of relief.At this moment, Guo Nuan, the young master, has fallen to the point where he has to rely on the book boy for relief.Guo Nuan felt sad.Cheap father-in-law is ruthless enough.Send him to Shuofang as a sesame official.As for his old man Guo Ziyi, he was even more ruthless.Directly knock down the grassroots as recruits.

Da Biao raised his engineering shovel.A poke towards a big iron rod. "Ding." There was a crisp sound.Wipe out a string of piercing sparks.The iron rod with the thick mouth of the bowl leaves a row of clear sawtooth stubble.The edge of the engineer shovel is just stuck to a thin layer of iron filings cut off from the iron rod.Wipe the edge of the engineer shovel with a cloth and it is as good as new.

"Ahem. Not bad. It's very sharp. It can't help but be several times more effective when digging trenches. It can also be used to fight the enemy. It doesn't lose to the big steel knife at all."

Guo Nuan was very satisfied with his invention.As for Da Biao, he also found that this multi-functional shovel has many functions.Like it can be used to hit people.The thick shovel cover is patted down.Don't say that the enemy's head shell will burst like opening a watermelon to reveal the red and white pulp juice.Da Biao took a shovel and patted a green brick.Pick up the engineer shovel and hit the two-inch thick green brick.It immediately fell apart.

"It can also be used as a crowbar. It can be used as a saw to cut wood. It can be used as a bayonet. Of course it can be used as a pot to cook and eat."

Guo Nuan said lightly.Da Biao was so excited as if he had been pumped with chicken blood.As for the big steel knife on his waist, he was immediately ignored.

It is true that the shovel is equivalent to a large spoon.Scoop a spoonful directly into the stream and put it on the campfire to cook.But Guo Nuan was a little worried.Can the weapon that knocked the enemy's head be used for cooking?It also tastes nauseous.

Guo Nuan used 12 taels of gold to build an engineer shovel.He used the remaining seven or eight taels of silver that Ah Fu gave to him to forge a Yanling waist knife.This waist knife is much lighter than the big steel knife uniformly issued in the barracks.Guo Nuan focuses on the flexibility and skill of killing.His physical strength is not considered dominant among infantry.Unlike Dabiao, who is tall and burly, with sturdy muscles all over his body.Then there is no need for any tricks to use the big steel knife.Between slashing and slashing, it is head-to-head and hard-working. It is strength.It is commonplace to expect that it will take a whole day to fight with a machete weighing ten kilograms on the battlefield.However, Guo Nuan's relatively well-proportioned scholar's body can't bear it.So he purposely made a light Yanling Waist Saber.Using a flexible knife style with a rattan card to defend against the enemy's fierce sword will not be a disadvantage.
