Chapter 318
In the previous life, Dong Yu once learned a text called "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring".

Dong Bi can't remember who the author is now, anyway, he is not a celebrity in this era.

In the story of Peach Blossom Spring, it seems to be about things in Wuling Mountain. A group of pre-Qin survivors hid in the mountains to avoid the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty.For hundreds of years, he knew nothing about the outside world, and he didn't even know that the Great Qin Kingdom had already perished.

I remember that when the teacher said this paragraph back then, he once said such words as tyranny is fiercer than a tiger.

Dong Bi didn't pay attention to it at the time, and after learning it, he forgot it.Unexpectedly, he actually met such a group of people in this deep mountain and old forest today. They are also survivors of the pre-Qin Dynasty. They have hidden in the deep mountains for hundreds of years, and they don't know that the dynasty has changed outside the mountains.The only difference is that Taohuayuan is to avoid Tyranny, while Wunan Mountain is to avoid Xiang Yu.

The people in Wunan Mountain all lived in Guanzhong for generations.

After the death of Qin II, Xiang Yu led his troops into Guanzhong, and then there was a bloody massacre of the people of Daqin in Guanzhong.

The people in Guanzhong are different from the six kingdoms of Guandong that were later unified by Qin.

They have lived in that environment since Shang Yang's reform, and they have long been accustomed to the laws of Qin.

In fact, after the chaos in the world, although the people in Guanzhong were dissatisfied with Qin II, they had deep feelings for the Great Qin State.So when Xiang Yu invaded Guanzhong, the people of Guanzhong fought hard, but in the end they all failed one by one.

After the failure, the people in Guanzhong were massacred by Xiang Yu.

In order to avoid Xiang Yu, many people took their families and hid in the deep mountains and old forests.Later, the world was peaceful, and most people walked out of the mountains and forests.But there are still some people who ran very far, and since then, they have never walked out of this mountain of no difficulty.

They don't even know that the outside world has changed.

From long-term peace to turmoil in the world, there have been several dynasties in 400 years, but these people know nothing about it.

Maybe he was really afraid of being killed by Xiang Yu back then, so he made an oath that the Xiang family would not be destroyed, and the people of Wunan Mountain would never come out.

This Wunan Mountain is located in the hinterland of Nanshan Mountain, with complex terrain.

There are so many wolves and beasts in the mountains, it is simply impossible to reach here.

Dong Bi didn't expect to encounter such a thing, so he couldn't help but became very interested in Wu Nanren.

After midnight, the old man invited Dong Pi and others to visit the village.

This is also the first time in the past 400 years that there have been outsiders in Wunan Mountain.So when Dong Zhuo and others appeared, the whole village became a sensation.When they heard that Dong Bi was actually a Marquis of Che, these people from Mount Wunan showed even more respect.

The people of Daqin, with a stream of iron blood fused into their blood.

Even after 400 years, many people still retain the habits of the year.Dong Bi couldn't say that these people were cowardly, and that they could kill such a group of people to the point of fear, so what kind of bloody massacre was Xiang Yu back then.

The people in the cottage mainly have three surnames.

The Gan clan in Yiqu, which is now in the Anding area, was once extremely prosperous; the Bai clan in Mei County once had a remarkable figure, Tu Baiqi; the Wang clan in Pinyang Dongxiang was also a descendant of the Qin general Wang Jian. .

The familiar names one after another made Dong Pi's body tremble.

The background of these people is too amazing.

The current owner of Wunan Mountain is an elder of the Gan clan. His name is Gan Xin, and his nickname is Wuji. He is already over seventy years old.

The savage young man who can compete with Dong Bi is the grandson of Gan Xin, named Gan Ben, 22 years old, nicknamed Hongqin, known as the number one hero in Wunan Mountain, with a green spear and a crescent halberd, capable of piercing Yang with a hundred steps Good job.

In the hut in the village, Gan Xin ordered someone to bring monkey wine to entertain Dong Pi.

Dong Bi couldn't help asking: "Old man, how many people are there in this cottage now!"

Gan Xin sighed, "There are not many people left...the three clans add up, but there are only 500 people, of which there are only more than 100 young and strong. The rest are old and young. If Dong Hou is in In a few decades, hehe, there will probably be fewer people. Thinking about how prosperous our three clans were back then, but now... I am really ashamed of the prestige of our ancestors."

Indeed, with the passage of time, I am afraid that in a few decades, Wunan Mountain will completely disappear!
From the conversation, we know that the members of the Gan clan are not actually the real Qin people.

In fact, they came from Yangzhou. According to the saying at the time, they were called Wuyue... Qin and Chu were married together, and King Qin Huiwen went to the princess of Chu, who was later the mother of King Zhaoxiang of Qin. He came to the Qin State with the Mi family. Later, after King Zhaoxiang of Qin ascended the throne, he granted the Gan family's fiefdom to Yiqu.

Since King Qin Zhaoxiang, the Gan family has always existed as a master craftsman of the Qin State.

According to Gan Xin, [-]% of Qin's weapons came from the Gan clan, which occupied an important position in Qin at that time.

The First Emperor swept across the six kingdoms and cast twelve bronze men from all the gold gathered in the world.

At that time, it dealt a blow to Gan's status in Qin State to a great extent.Without war, the Gan family would have lost the meaning of existence...

Fortunately, although Qin Shihuang gathered the world's gold, he did not forget his military equipment.

Meng Tian was still at war with the Xiongnu, and the weapons he used were all from the Gan clan.Even the weapons in Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum were all made by members of the Gan clan. The repeating crossbow could penetrate three layers of armor within fifty steps.

"No way!"

When Dong Bi heard this, he couldn't help screaming.

No wonder he was so surprised. The crossbow made by Ma Jun and Puyuan could only cover a distance of thirty steps, but the Qin crossbow...

Gan Xin raised his head proudly, "Dong Hou, if I tell a lie, I will die."

Wang Teng and Bai Yi, the elder of the Bai clan, nodded and said: "Without the Gan clan's divine soldiers, although the Great Qin could have swept the six kingdoms, I'm afraid it would have been delayed for decades."

"Mr. Gan, what do you think of my crossbow machine?"

As Dong Bi said, he asked someone to take out the crossbow machine made by Pu Yuan from his pocket and handed it to Gan Xin.

Gan Xin took it over, and after looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but said in amazement: "The design of this crossbow machine is really ingenious, and it has basically reached the level of Gan's Yuanrong back then. It's just that there are a few small mechanisms in it that are not perfect, and only need to be improved. With one click, you can restore the level of the Yuan Rong of the Gan family. Dong Hou, who made your crossbow?"

"Oh, it was my two subordinates who figured it out by themselves with the help of a broken examination record."

Gan Xin was amazed, "I've heard of the Kaogonglu. It is said that it is the organ casting technique left by the Momen. , but it’s really good.”

The descendants of the greatest craftsman in the Great Qin Dynasty can praise Pu Yuan and Ma Jun so much, they must be very happy.

Bai Yi is an unsmiling person. After glancing at the crossbow machine, he suddenly said: "Such a crossbow machine, but I don't know how many Dong Hou can build in a day?"

Dong Bi was startled, thought for a while and said, "About dozens of copies?"

"Hey, Dong Hou knows, how many equivalent crossbows can Master Gan build in a day?"

"I don't know!"

Bai Yi didn't say any more, but glanced at Gan Xin.

Gan Xin smiled, "When our Gan clan was at its peak, we could make [-] pairs of crossbows and [-] three-stone strong bows a day... Donghou, don't be surprised, my Gan clan has leftovers from our ancestors. The method of casting is very different from that of ordinary generals. For example, this pair of Yuanrong, we split it into several parts, and built them separately according to the standard system, and then assembled them uniformly by special personnel. .So, our speed, very fast."

"what……"

Dong Bi opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Perhaps this is the earliest template for the so-called assembly line operation in later generations.Although Dong Bi didn't know much about assembly line operations, he still knew the basic concepts.If Gan Xin hadn't mentioned it, he probably wouldn't have thought of such a method at all.Did Qin Shi already have such a concept as an assembly line?It's really amazing!

Gan Xin said: "The Gan family does not produce magical weapons. In terms of casting techniques, we are no match for senior craftsmen like Ou Yezi. But the weapons produced by the Gan family are the most sophisticated in the whole of Qin. After winning this point, we awarded Yiqu to us... Godly soldiers, the Gan family can't create them, but strong soldiers, who can match me?"

These words were spoken forcefully and full of confidence.

Nonsense, you mastered the production methods at that time, even the modern ones were thousands of years ahead, who can compare with you?
In history, the Gan family is unknown.

At least in Dong Bi's memory, the history textbook of junior high school did not mention such a clan as the Gan family.

They didn't have any achievements to brag about, and they couldn't produce the magic weapon that has been handed down through the ages like Moxie, but such a group of people have created the most terrifying strong soldiers in history.Could it be because he hid in the deep mountains and disappeared?
Dong Bi pondered for a long time, then said cautiously: "Xiao Hou has a merciless request. I want to invite all the gentlemen to come out of the mountain with me, is it possible?"

Wang Teng said: "But I don't know how strong Dong Hou is?"

strength?

This is an era that emphasizes strength. Perhaps from ancient times to the present, strength has been a choice for people to choose their masters.

Gan Xin said sternly: "Dong Hou, you are the first person to enter our Wunan Mountain in 400 years. Logically speaking, you are our benefactor. But kindness is kindness. Daqin is famous for its bravery, and it emphasizes strength. If You don't have enough strength to protect us, you might as well die of old age in this deep mountain."

There is a sentence left behind: We can choose people with stronger strength.

Dong Bi's heart skipped a beat, and he stared blankly at Gan Xin and the three of them.This kind of blatant pursuit of profit is more like stuffing barbarians.

But thinking about it makes me feel relieved.

Qin Feng is tough, in their eyes, strength is the only thing.

At the moment, Dong Bi told his situation one by one.From the rise of the Dong family in Longxi, to the time when he sent troops to the fortress, and then ended up where he is today...

The eyes of the three old men lit up when they heard that Dong Pi had killed tens of thousands of people.

Especially Bai Yi, who nodded slightly and said, "Dong Hou's methods are quite similar to those used by His Majesty to treat Hu."

The king, the king Bai Yi mentioned, who else could there be besides Qin Shihuang?

It can be said that this is also a very high evaluation of Dong Bi.Dong Bi's cheeks twitched, and he thought to himself: I am indeed a descendant of the human slaughter... Hehe, everyone in the world says I am cruel, but this Bai Yi actually compares me with the First Emperor, shouldn't I be proud?

"Dong Hou's defeat was not a crime of war, but a corruption of Confucianism and misuse of the country!"

Wang Teng twirled his beard and said softly: "Your Majesty also had great ambitions back then, but unfortunately... If His Majesty were here, where would there be the barbarian chaos today?"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly looked at Dong Bi, "If I wait to join Dong Hou, what good will it do?"

Dong Bi closed his eyes carefully, looked at Wang Teng, then at Bai Yi, hesitating for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

"The advantage depends on the ability of the princes. The twentieth-class military merit is still valid. If the princes are really capable, they will naturally be able to sit on high-ranking officials and ride horses. However, if it is just a word of mouth, I am afraid that I am willing to defend it. It is also difficult for the princes to become prosperous."

Dong Bi answered very directly.

Want benefits?
you can!

Show me your skills, as long as you have the skills and want any benefits, I will have any benefits here.

Bai Yi and Wang Teng's expressions changed, and after looking at each other, they burst out laughing.

"Dong Hou is right. No matter how many benefits others give, it will not last long. If you have the ability, you will benefit."

Although 400 years have passed, the rigidity in the bones of the people of Daqin still exists.

Dong Bi was drinking slowly, while Gan Xin and Wang Teng Bai Yi were whispering to each other.After all, the future survival of the three tribes is determined, so we must not be cautious.

At this time, the sky has revealed a fish-belly light.

Gan Xin walked up to Dong Bi, and gave a deep salute: "Dong Hou, today I will entrust the 420 people in Wunan Mountain to Dong Hou. Tiger, come here...won't you come with me to meet the lord."

All the people in the room knelt down towards Dong Bi in unison.

Dong Bi closed his eyes slightly, and said to himself: How can you know that it is not a blessing if you lose your horse?The ancients do not deceive me!
