Country and Beauty

Zhuge Mingyue's face immediately flushed red, her beautiful eyes bulged, and she cautiously asked: "Brother Fei, why are you in such a hurry?"

Xie Fei said: "After we defeat Murong Hou, Mingyue and I will get married." Zhuge Mingyue sighed and boarded the carriage with Xie Fei. The carriage then sped towards Institute of Martial Studies.

The number of troops in the Southern Wasteland was around 550,000, but after occupying the Youzhou, they had gathered a few more defeated soldiers of Wang Jun. As a result, currently, the number of troops in the Southern Wasteland was about 600,000, among which 270,000 were cavalrymen and their overall strength was not weak. However, because Murong Zheng's policy in the Youzhou was to put the Xianbei member first, bully the local Chinese people, and kill and drive the Chinese people as easily as cattle or horses, although the Xianbei member did not have the kind of wanton adultery like when they first occupied the Youzhou, but towards the fresh and low soldiers, mass rape, village massacre, and city massacre still happened. The people under him were in chaos, the people were complaining, many of them fled to the south through the Jizhou, heading to the Cyan Plains. One of his subordinates had advised him to take measures to stop the exodus of the people, but he had said: "What does the people of the moth ants mean to me?" It means that a small people do not help me in any way.

In the north, only Master Murong was present in the Youzhou. In order to better control the Youzhou, Master Murong had adopted the policy of following his will and allowing those who defied him to die, and had raised his butcher's blade high in the air. Although Liu Cong from the northwest had successfully ascended to the throne, his overall strength had plummeted, his vitality was greatly injured, and he did not have the strength to raise his army again at the moment. The Da Cheng Country of the Ba Shu Empire satisfied the current situation, and had no intention of expanding their territory, but the army of the Wang Dun Army had attacked the Da Cheng Kingdom, and was in a stalemate with the Da Cheng Army. Currently, the two armies had already been in a stalemate in the Southern County for more than half a month, both sides had suffered great losses, and the outcome might not be decided anytime soon. Those powers that appeared calm on the surface were actually secretly gathering their strength. On the surface, Shi Le looked like he was Liu Cong's right general, but he was secretly expanding his power. Ever since the fall of Prince Liu He's power, Shi Le had sent his trusted aides to all over the place to recruit Liu He's broken up body. Now, with Zhang Bin's help, Shi Le's army had already gathered over 70,000 people, and were occupying the seven counties of Yanmen County's Lower Ma Yi County (current Shuo District), Zhongling County (current Pinglu District), Ji Yang (current Ying County), Yin Hall (southeast of this city), Wang Tao (current Shanyin County), Wei County (south of Shuo District), and Shan Wu (right modern Yu County). The citizens of the seven counties, regardless of whether they were executing the law or not, were all extremely grateful to Shi Le. In Yanmen County, the commoners only knew about Shi Le but not Liu Cong. An official once said to Liu Cong, "Shi Le's policies have gained the hearts of the people, it can be seen that his ambitions are not small, my Lord, you have to be on guard!" Liu Cong replied without a care, "Shi Le is born a slave, and is a merciful man. Don't you dare guess blindly, you have disappointed Shi Le! " Although a few officials had said similar words before, they were all scolded back by Liu Cong.

Outside the entrance of the palace in Pingyang, when Shi Le and his group reached the Palace's East Ming Sect, Shi Le was suddenly stunned. Zhang Bin could not help but feel astonished. Looking towards where Shi Le was looking at, he saw a graceful beautiful woman dressed in elegant clothing board the carriage with the support of a maid. Around the carriage, there were also close to a hundred Guard. Zhang Bin turned his head to look at Shi Le, who was still staring at the carriage that had started. Zhang Bin was clever, after thinking for a while, he understood the gist of it.

When the horse carriage passed by Shi Le, the curtains of the carriage were suddenly opened, and a peerless appearance that made Shi Le's mind wander appeared in front of him. Shi Le was stunned at the time, an extremely emotional feeling welled up from the bottom of his heart. Just then, the woman nodded towards Shi Le. She seemed to make a move, but it was filled with distance. The woman then closed the curtain without any hesitation. In that moment, Shi Le felt as if his heart had been ripped apart. The horse carriage drove past Shi Le and headed towards the north gate, Shi Le turned his head and looked at the horse carriage that was gradually leaving, his eyes filled with pain and confusion.

Shi Le subconsciously asked: "Who is this woman?"

"General, you bear the heavy responsibility of helping out the Capricorn tribe. You can't lose your mind over a woman!" Zhang Bin's voice suddenly sounded beside Shi Le's ears. But then, Zhang Bin still answered respectfully: "This is Jin Zhun's daughter, Sister Yue Hua. Jin Yueguang is one too. "

After Liu Cong ascended to the throne, after being pampered by his two concubines, the two concubines were given the cold shoulder. In order to console them, Liu Cong was bestowed the titles of Empress of the Left and Queen of the Right respectively, and he was granted the title of Empress Jin Yueguang. Liu Cong suddenly had three empresses, it was really unprecedented. The order of the court was always lost.

Shi Le said: "There is a saying that beauties are the bane of evil, and this kind of peerless beauty goes through the intestines and poisons. Thank you, sir, for your reminder. "

Zhang Bin said: "When the general sees the emperor, he may lead the troops to the He Province."

Shi Le asked in surprise: "Why is that?"

Zhang Bin explained: "Wang Jun has just lost, the chaos around the Youzhou has been discovered, and this general can seize the opportunity to attack the surrounding regions of the prefectures or even the prefectures!

Shi Le's eyes lit up, and praised: "This plan is very good! Shi Le looked at Zhang Bin and asked.

Zhang Bin explained with confidence: "The General told the Emperor that Wang Jun was defeated by the Murong Clan Master, and that the Murong Clan Master has the intention to enter the Southern Prefecture! The Emperor will surely panic. Then, the General can request his army to head to the border of the prefecture and wait for the plane! " Shi Le said as he nodded his head, "The Emperor will definitely send me to lead troops to the He Prefecture. It seems that deceiving the Emperor like this is truly a disgrace!"

Zhang Bin could not help but be anxious, and advised: General, do not let your hands and feet be bound by knots! This action is actually beneficial to the emperor, so there's no need for the general to feel guilty! "

Shi Le hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Sir is right!"

When Xie Fei and Zhuge Mingyue arrived at the Mount Xian, they saw from afar how many big windmills had appeared on the mountain, and the huge windmills were spinning along with the wind. Xie Fei knew that the windmills of this era could not be used to generate electricity. The ancient windmills were used to carry water to irrigate and grind grains. The Institute of Martial Studies did not have any farmland, and the grains that were used up had all been grinded out. This strange phenomenon puzzled Xie Fei. Because the Mount Xian is affected by the climate monsoon of the Yellow Sea, the wind above the sixth grade often appears in the year, so the wind resources are abundant.

Although Xie Fei did not ask, Zhuge Mingyue still saw the doubt in Xie Fei's eyes. Although Zhuge Mingyue was a strong person, she was also a woman. After thinking about it for a while, Zhuge Mingyue's train of thoughts became complicated. She was unable to bear Xie Fei's calm state of mind and finally broke the silence and said: "Brother Fei, are you not curious about the effect of this windmill?"

Xie Fei laughed leisurely: "Even though I'm curious, I also know that if you wanted to say it, even if I didn't ask, you would have told me the use of this windmill. If you didn't want to say it, even if I asked, you wouldn't say it."

It must be known that ever since Zhuge Mingyue took over the Institute of Martial Studies, it had almost all become a practice for him. As long as there was an invention, Zhuge Mingyue would immediately notify Xie Fei.

Hearing Xie Fei say this, Zhuge Mingyue's beautiful eyes lit up, and he said indifferently: "Brother Fei, we'll know after we take a look inside."

For the first time, Xie Fei carefully sized up Zhuge Mingyue, who had been silently supporting her without any complaints or complaints, and was wearing a pure white silk body that was a little over 1.7m, revealing an exquisite and curvy body. It was a little more relaxed, and compared to Zhuge Mingyue, it added a lot of attractive thoughts. To be able to give a man a feeling of achievement that would be incomparable if he could subdue this kind of woman! Only then did he react to it. Xie Fei's expression turned serious and said expressionlessly, "Alright, let's go. I want to see what surprises my talented girl, who has both intelligence and beauty, can bring me."

Zhuge Mingyue smiled indifferently. Normally, the women who smiled would feel like they were bathed in the spring wind, and Zhuge Mingyue was the best out of the lot; Yang Susu was like a pure and elegant lily, but Zhuge Mingyue was like a cold, proud, lonely, and serene orchid. Xie Fei had had some romantic thoughts before, but he was purely carrying a "fair and beautiful lady, a lord wants to catch my hand" mentality. He was clear about what he should do and what he should not do.

After a while, Xie Fei and Zhuge Mingyue arrived at a house under a windmill. There, they saw an ancient lathe. The ancient lathe was cut by pulling on hands or feet, rotating the workpiece through ropes and holding a knife. Although this kind of lathe saved less time and effort, it was less efficient. After careful examination, Xie Fei discovered the secret of the windmill. Originally, Zhuge Mingyue had used the power of the windmill, using the complete set of gears to convert the windmill's kinetic energy into the machine's kinetic energy. Because the speed of the windmill is low, the gear combination makes use of their unique properties to improve the speed of the workpiece. Although the invention of the windmill didn't directly help the invention of the weapon, it did help the invention of the steam engine.

Just when Xie Fei was dumbstruck and lost in thought, Zhuge Mingyue opened her mouth and said: "Ever since the invention of these thirty-six blower lathe, the production efficiency of the cannon barrel had greatly increased. Originally, it could only produce six cannons per month, but now, it can produce fifty-five cannons per month. Production efficiency has increased nearly tenfold. Originally, the barrel of the gun could only be produced once a month, but now, each locomotive can produce thirty. "

"What?" Xie Fei's mouth was opened so wide that it could fit an egg. Xie Fei muttered: "Does that mean we have sixty cannons?

Zhuge Mingyue covered her mouth and laughed: "My lord, don't make such a big fuss. To be precise, our Institute of Martial Studies has already produced a total of sixty-seven cannons. There are still forty Fire Rod. "

Xie Fei said in surprise: "Who invented this wind machine?"

Zhuge Mingyue said: "It's Liu Ye and me (To commemorate the Three Kingdoms' era, the great inventor, invented this guy.) jointly invented? "

"Good, good, good!" Xie Fei called out three times, saying, "From today onwards, as long as the craftsmen in Institute of Martial Studies has invented a new weapon, if we use it, we will reward them according to one tenth of the price of the equipment."

Zhuge Mingyue nodded in agreement. As Xie Fei adopted the system of heavy incentives, the research progress of the Weapon Research Institute had started to evolve by leaps and bounds.

Xie Fei asked in a mechanical voice: "So you're saying that my flame camp can become an army now?"

Zhuge Mingyue laughed but did not speak, Xie Fei spoke rather helplessly: "It's such a pity, a great battle is at hand, flame camp's training requires some time, I'm afraid that they will not be able to use their full power in this war."

He could imagine what kind of effect the Fire Rod, which had a range of 300 steps, would have against a Xianbei member. Unfortunately, the dream was beautiful, but the reality was too cruel. The revolution had not yet succeeded, and comrades still had to work hard. Xie Fei's face darkened.

Zhuge Mingyue scoffed, "Master, you are really a mystery."

"Oh!" Xie Fei asked in shock: "Why do you say that?"

Zhuge Mingyue said: "Master, why did you forget about the Institute of Martial Studies's garrison army? Since every cannon needs to be inspected, and the people of the Institute of Martial Studies are extremely nervous, so all these things are done by the soldiers of the garrison army. That is why, the soldiers of the garrison army do not need to be trained to become qualified cannons.

"Aiya!" Xie Fei slapped his forehead, "That's right, how could I forget about that."

Xie Fei's style was to be swift and decisive, and achieve what he had set out to do. Sign the order immediately, and reorganize the Institute of Martial Studies's garrison camp into a flame camp. Right now, the flame camp was the same as the other official camps. They also had around five thousand people, and were equipped with seventy-three hundred and thirty-three steel rods (six of which were previously made). The rest of the people equipped themselves with the two foramina, becoming a true firepower attack battalion.

In addition to producing a lot of cannons and a few fire blasters, the Institute of Martial Studies had also made some assault vehicles specifically to deal with the cavalrymen. Speaking of the shock wave car, its origin was even more mysterious. This was something that Xie Fei had asked the technicians to develop according to the theory of the armored car from the future. Of course, this wasn't the same as an armored car. It only absorbed the design concept of the armoured car. The impact vehicle was more than 1.7m tall, and there were three pairs of large wooden wheels. The last two wheels in the row were steering wheels, because the soldiers at the top level were directing them. The six-wheeled armoured vehicles were similar to those of later generations), they were divided into two floors, the lower level was one man tall, and there were twelve soldiers. They were arranged in three rows of horizontal bars that were pushed across the car, which was the driving force of the charging car; the upper level, which was only half the height of the human being and had no roof, stood on the upper level while the upper half of the soldier's body stuck out, allowing the soldier to stand on the carriage and shoot the surrounding targets. In addition, the front of the batter was tapered and nailed with iron armor, so that the batter could charge into the enemy's ranks against the enemy's spear. There were also assaulting vehicles, which were also hitmen's killers.

The impact of the car in the experiment, can be said to be very good, can be said to exceed the expectations. However, due to the productivity of this era, the production of impact vehicles was very limited. As of now, there were only forty or so of them.

Xie Fei said to Li Qing, the battalion commander of the original garrison: "All the assaulting carriages are equipped with flame camp."

Xie Fei had thought about it carefully, so he knew that cannons were the most powerful weapon in this era, with the longest range. If the enemy troops did not care about the casualties, the flame camp would not be able to escape. As long as flame camp chose a high vantage point and set up a defensive line made of charging vehicles, even if Xianbei member used ten times the strength of her army, it would still be difficult to break through this steel defensive line.

Time flew. Unknowingly, it was already evening. Xie Fei had gained a lot this time, so he left a long convoy with his. This convoy was carrying all kinds of military equipment that Xie Fei saw in the Institute of Martial Studies. There were forty assaulting vehicles, seventy-three cannons, forty fireballs, five hundred Zhuge crossbow s, and a few other pieces of equipment. Xie Fei's heart was filled with desire, he wanted to see the spectacular scene of his subordinates wielding new weapons.
