Chapter 158: The Crossbow (Part 2)
It has certain progressive significance. It cannot be said that it is not as powerful as the bed crossbow. If it is built into a large area, its power is no less than that of the bed. It is also bulky, but the bed crossbow cannot be miniaturized, and it has more people to operate, and even fifty or sixty soldiers are required to operate it.
However, it is not as good as another weapon of the Song Dynasty, the Divine Arm Bow!
It is said that later, the Divine Arm Bow was developed and it only took more than one stone of arm strength to spread it, which means that soldiers with less strength than Song Jiu could operate it. It was easier and operated by one person. But what happened in the end? Destroy the country!
Partly because of the country's national standards, partly because of this craftsman and official, it is impossible to guarantee that the Divine Arm Bow in the hands of the soldiers is a truly qualified Divine Arm Bow.
It may have a significant effect, but in this era, the command ability of generals, the strength of soldiers and the system of the soldiers. As long as it can be done, it can be comparable to the Khitan army now, and it is useless even if all kinds of developed weapons appeared in the late Northern Song Dynasty. The truth is just like the lack of horses in the Song Dynasty, the Yue family army lacks horses, and the Eighth Route Army lacks excellent weapons. If there is no horse, the enemy has horses, and if there is no weapon, the enemy has weapons, and if there is no weapon, the enemy has weapons, and if there is no weapon, it will be robbed from the enemy. This is an invincible army.
Song Jiu would not think about it, because he could not affect Er Zhao, and it would be useless to think about it. It would be better to have a dream of wealth and honor with peace of mind than to worry about it.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at it for a long time and ordered the guards to move several pairs of armor to a hundred steps. Three armors fell together, so that Song Jiu could shoot the arrow again. Three arrows were still close. This time, they were closer, so they had to be a little more accurate. Two arrows shot the armor and also passed through it, flying more than twenty steps before falling.
The big guy gasped again. This means that if the enemy is dense and within the appropriate range, he can penetrate five or six people with one arrow. Especially some generals and guards, they may go to the battlefield to fight. Some people have good martial arts skills and can use the weapons in their hands to block the arrows. However, how to block this weapon? They all stood up one by one. Zhao Kuang looked cautious and said, "Song Jiu, after you go back, you hand over the drawings to Zhongshu, this technique must be strictly confidential."
"I know."
"You have been promoted too fast, so I will reward you with two thousand households in your fief, and actually have six hundred households. At the same time, you will be rewarded with two hundred gold."
"Thank you, please give your majesty a name."
"Call it to Fulu Crossbow."
"Good name," Song Jiudao, gunpowder asked Zhao Kuangyin to name the name, Zhao Kuangyin took a golden thunder, which made Song Jiu burn and tender. But this time the name was quite good, but in fact, its function was still to defend against the Khitans in the future. The rest did not matter, was the Southern Tang worth using it?
"What's wrong with that stone cannon?"
"Your Majesty. Since Bashu returned, I only took a breather the day before yesterday and almost never stopped. I have not developed stone cannons at all, but its principles are very similar to those of the Fulu Crossbow. Both use slightly more complex leverage and elastic principles."
"How will it be?"
"If it is a large stone cannon, after improvement, it can throw a huge stone of more than ten stones apart dozens of feet away. If it is a stone of more than three or four stones, it can throw a distance of hundreds of feet, and the operators are less than the current ten-tip cannons. More than a dozen people are enough."
"Ten stones?" They took another breath of air conditioning.
Zhao Kuangyin was not much better, and he stood there in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Actually, the principle is very simple. As long as students learn ordinary mechanics for three or four years and are smarter, they will be able to make them. For example, if two people pull the equipment on the dock, they can pull up dozens of stone heavy objects. The current stone cannon is also a principle of mechanics, but it is simpler."
"You study this first, and let the affairs on the river bank go for now."
"Your Majesty, I can think of it because of some equipment in the amusement park. Then when I arrived in Bashu, General Wang Quanbin also wanted to quickly wipe out the rebels. He was also useless, so he invited me into the army. I saw many equipment in the army and realized that these principles could also be used in the military. For example, when I thought of it, I didn't think of civilian use, but to treat injuries. My father fought bloody battles all his life and could not rest in peace, so he named me Song Jiu, hoping to be safe for a long time and let me learn literature, so he didn't want me to take risks in the battlefield to get a name. But when I had a little success, my father couldn't see it. All he could see was a nerd."
"You child is conscience." Zhao Kuangyin sighed. No matter what, even if it was Zhao Pu, he had to admit that Song Jiu was conscience.
"Your Majesty, I dare not. I only ask for one word and do not do bad things. Therefore, when I was studying Liuli, I thought of some of its functions. If some strong liquor and other things were added, many soldiers would not die prematurely due to injury. Including the past and present, many people died of cervical rhino. In fact, half of them were not real cervical rhino, but were injured on the battlefield, infected with wounds, and did not have time to clean and disinfect, resulting in accumulation of poison and siltation, and eventually they went away early. The same was true for my father. When he died of illness, his condition worsened and he couldn't sleep. If he was a cervical rhino, he was a little sad. When he was accused of death, he was a little sad. No matter what, if Song De was there, he would not have been like now, and he would have been an orphan.
But many ministers looked at each other. It is said that there are too many people who died of cervical rhino, and others don’t care. Chai Rong died of cervical rhino. Many people thought that he was retribution for destroying Buddhism, so it turned out to be the reason. In fact, it was not just Chai Rong, including Wang Shaodiqing, who later died of wound infection. Chai Rong died without any wrongion, but Wang Shaodiqing died was called wrongion. After he died, he was even splashed with ink by a group of literati.
Song Jiu also said: "In fact, one law is well-versed in hundreds of laws. The material science studies the principle of changes in all things, which can be used in civil or military. There is no need to stop it. Once it is used, without your majesty's order, the minister will also hand it over to the court. The minister is a member of the Song Dynasty and a minister of the Song Dynasty. The minister does not understand the great principles, but knows one sentence, how can he finish the eggs when the nest is destroyed?"
"I'm a little sad about this child." Zhao Kuangyin said to Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu smiled.
"It is good for you to be loyal to the country. If you can succeed, I will be promoted to you with a higher level of official position."
"Your Majesty, let's forget it. Just now, I am sitting under the veranda and saw that Lu's imperial edict was only in front of me, but Lu's county was behind me. I am frightened and could not be promoted. People should be content." Song Jiu had a sudden inspiration and said, "If your Majesty rewards me, I am. I am..."
"Tell me."
"I dared to ask Your Majesty to marry you and let me marry the young lady of General Pan Mei's family."
"You are making trouble, I can give you an official and money. This is the marriage of the ministers. How can I decide?" Zhao Kuangyin laughed, but he was very happy. This is the Song Jiu in his heart. Although he knew the measure, he loved money and officials, he knew that he could stop it, rather than like the group of ministers below, who were right and wrong, and said it better than anyone else, but he did it in a good way. Of course, having no ambition is a disadvantage, but thinking about it on the other hand, wouldn't such a person feel more at ease? So he said: "This request really makes me embarrassed, but I will write a letter to Pan Mei, saying that you are my peach blossom."
Not many people know about this inside story.
However, if you can understand the meaning, it is to say in front of this minister of nearly a thousand. You are my person!
What Song Jiu hates the most now is peach blossoms!
He looked up at Zhao Kuangyi, and Zhao Kuangyi smiled at him obscurely, meaning you were doing well.
It is also possible that Song Jiu got this sentence and refused to admit it, but Zhao Kuangyi would not think so. This kid has many shortcomings, including the kindness of a woman. But he also has to admit that Song Jiu talks about his conscience and values friendship. He secretly helps him a lot, and he should know what he should know in his heart.
I thought a little biased.
When Song Jiu looked at him, Zhao Kuangyi thought Song Jiu was asking for his ideas and was very satisfied.
Of course, neither of them dared to look at each other for a long time, and their eyes flashed. No one else noticed it. On the contrary, they were very envious. Song Jiu did not ask for an official position, but with Zhao Kuangyin's words, it would be better than any official position. And he felt that Zhao Kuangyin was shameless and said that he would not interfere with the marriage of ministers. With your old man, Pan Mei had to agree, and it would be more effective than giving a marriage.
"Do it well," Zhao Kuangyin didn't say much. Today, he saw the power of a powerful crossbow, so he made an exception and said more. With a wave of his hand, the new fire ceremony began.
Several small yellow doors were drilling into fire, and Lu Duosun whispered: "Jiulang, you are still honest and dare to speak out."
The happiest thing is him, why is he a great master sitting under the veranda?
Song Jiu said without saying a word, "I just don't want to touch you, the bad guy."
A yellow gate finally got out of fire and began to give fire. At the same time, some wealth were also given. Song Jiu sat upright under the veranda, but among the officials, he did not give much reward. However, if it included the 200 gold gold offered by the crossbow, he would be the one who rewarded the most, which was more than Zhao Pu.
Song Jiu also took out a new cluster of fire and made him miserable.
The residences in the capital are not that nervous now. Other officials are not too far from the palace. They hold the "torch" and get home for a while, but he is far away. It is impossible for the palace to deliberately create a big torch for him. If it is extinguished halfway, the sin will be severe. They dare not ride the big black. If they run fast, the wind will blow the torch out, and the same crime will be great. They have to put the rewarded money in the backpack. Fortunately, the big black is connected with human nature. Song Jiu ran quickly in front and Da black followed closely behind and ran to the house. Before the torch was extinguished, they first lit up their own fire and then distributed it to the neighbors.
The cold food industry is over, and every household can make a fire to cook food.
After drinking a bowl of hot tea, Song Jiu's heart was so warm that he won't mention it.
But the busyness has not ended, and it has not even formally taught second-grade students accounting and object arithmetics.
The actual plan of accounting is to teach it to the second grade. Maybe there will be some more complex things in the future. Song Jiu himself will not be able to master it and cannot teach it. In the third grade, the focus is on arithmetic and matter.
There are a lot of things on the Hezhou area and two kinds of textbooks have to be written. Song Jiu was too busy to do it, so he had to rely on the help of forty students, and just regarded it as a review. It affected the progress of teaching, but this kind of review was also beneficial. As everyone left the school, they might forget it together in a few years. If he had not had the history of tutoring, he would not remember too much when he came to the Song Dynasty. But before that, he had to draw the drawings of Fujian Crossbow, writing the principles, and improving the direction.
It will improve in the future. Although the research direction is different, if you hand it over to the court, the court will improve in military terms, but Song Jiu used it in the amusement park. However, the principles are the same, and the principles of some equipment in the amusement park are more complex. If there is a method of improvement, Song Jiu will continue to hand over it.
But Song Jiu still had some regrets in his heart. These equipment did not play a big role in field battles, which means that they would not cause huge damage to the real enemies of the Song Dynasty.
But the story of the Qingming Festival gradually spread. First, Song Jiu was the emperor's royal peach blossom, and Song Jiu's opposition was invalid. This is what they said. Second, the power of the Fulu crossbow. Third, Song Jiu made a fuss about asking the emperor to give him a marriage.
The depressed brothers Pan Weide and Weigu came to the door.
Song Jiu was not here, and on Hezhou, he was busy with a large group of students. Pan Weide pulled Song Jiu aside. If Song Jiu hadn't been the same as before, he could go up and punch Song Jiu twice and ask, "Xiao Jiu, what do you mean?"
"Ah, Dalang, what's the solution?"
"You didn't mention the serious proposal, but you made a fuss about giving a marriage. You even hooked my little sister out of the city and hanged out for a day."
"Dalang, you really wronged me. Yes, you called your sister out of the city because you were afraid that others would gossip and we didn't do anything."
