Qutai Palace, in the backyard.

Under a big cypress tree, Ying Zheng sat on a futon and quietly listened to Mrs. Yue's playing.

At this time, Zheng He came in gently, came to Ying Zheng's side, and underestimated Ying Zheng's ear for a while, Ying Zheng opened his eyes and slowly got up.

Yueji's piano sound stopped abruptly, and she looked up at Ying Zheng with those moon-like eyes, and Ying Zheng said lightly: "Lonely and something, come back in the afternoon." ”

Yueji didn't say much, and stroked the qin again, and the melodious sound of the piano sounded again.

Ying Zheng walked out of Qutai Palace, and said calmly: "Li Xin, how is their situation?"

Zheng He said: "General Li Xin lost his left arm, and the army of 32,000 people died more than 20,000 in battle, plus Meng Tian's 10,000, there are still 20,000 people left, and they are now stationed in Huangxu City. ”

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "Herald the Military Aircraft Pavilion: First, Huan Qi rebelled and punished the three clans. Second, Li Xin was brave and strategic, did not mess in the face of danger, led the army to break through the siege, and specially promoted him to the chief general of the right-wing army, and the official was promoted to the first grade, the fourth grade, and the 150 stones. Third, Meng Tian has a merit in capturing the city, plus his contribution to destroying Han, he can be a deputy general, from the fourth grade, one hundred and twenty stone per month. Fourth, let Bai Qi mobilize 30,000 troops from the Chinese army to Huangxu City. ”

Zheng He responded: "No." ”

Ying Zheng returned to the study, still feeling that he was too anxious, and said to Zhao Gao behind him: "Little Gaozi." ”

Zhao Gao bowed and said, "The slave is here." ”

Ying Zheng took a pen and wrote a royal book on a parchment scroll, stamped it with the king's seal, and said, "You personally go to the Baiqi camp and hand over the lonely Mu Gongjian and this royal book to him." ”

Mu Gong Sword, also known as Mu Gong Zhen Qin Sword, is one of the tokens inherited by the Qin kings of the past dynasties, with great deterrent power, and the Qin people have a consensus of "seeing this sword is like seeing Mu Gong". It can also be said to be Yingzheng's sword of the Son of Heaven.

Ying Zheng originally wanted to go to Shangdang County in person, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was still inappropriate, Huan Qi had just defected, if he went to Shangdang County again, wouldn't it make the generals of the unified army feel that he didn't trust a few people.

In the end, it was appropriate to send Bai Qi Mu Gongjian, so that Bai Qi's prestige would be greatly increased, and he would control the power of life and death, so that the generals would not dare to think carefully, and it would be able to convey a message to the generals, that is, although Huan Qi's defection occurred, my trust in you will not change.

In fact, with Bai Qi's prestige, he doesn't need Mu Gongjian at all, however, no matter what, Ying Zheng must have an attitude towards this matter.

Zhao Gao left, and Ying Zheng said again: "Pass the public and lose the class." ”

"No. Outside the door, I remembered the voice of the little chamberlain.

Soon, Lu Ban, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, entered the study, and after the ceremony, Ying Zheng said: "What happened to the siege organ studied by Lu Gong?"

Lu Ban replied: "The minister is trying to report to the king, and the minister has already made three kinds of organs: Breaking the Earth Saburo, Breaking the Earth Qilang, and the Snake. Saburo and Shichiro are used in siege cities, and the Trap Snake is good at fighting in places with many obstacles and narrows, and is very lethal. ”

Ying Zheng became interested and said, "Let's go, go with you to the Manufacturing Division to have a look." ”

"No. Lu Ban replied with joy on his face.

He worked hard to study the organs, not just to be used by Great Qin on a large scale, and Ying Zheng's interest was the best signal.

As soon as Ying Zheng and Lu Ban entered the manufacturing department, there was a bang, and a blazing breath came to the face, which made Ying Zheng feel a little uncomfortable.

Walking in the manufacturing department, the workers inside didn't seem to see Ying Zheng and Lu Ban, what should they do, Lu Ban didn't explain, and Ying Zheng didn't ask.

The two walked like this, the sound of banging was endless, Ying Zheng saw that the blacksmith was naked, sweating like rain, and he was still tirelessly waving the hammer, one was tired, and the other was on again, and so on.

Arriving at the back of the workshop, Ying Zheng saw that the public transport squad made a large trap beast for siege drilling, which resembled a pangolin, and its whole body was composed of eight sections of steel casting modules.

Lu Ban let people operate, Breaking Earth Qilang can also transform into a city-breaking form and a trap beast form, the trap beast form can actually drill into the ground, the hellish expression in Ying Zheng's heart Needless to say, with this thing, what kind of city wall can he climb, directly hollow out the city wall, so that the city wall collapses into a gap, saving time and effort.

Then the siege form was tested, and people found a piece of steel, and with one blow, it was beaten and deformed.

"This ......"

Ying Zheng was surprised in his heart, where else do you need a siege vehicle, go up to the city wall a few times, a big hole will come out, a few more times, the city wall will collapse.

Ying Zheng pretended to be expressionless and said, "Go and see the snake." ”

"No. Lu Ban saw that Ying Zheng had seen Po Tu Qilang, his face was normal, and he was a little apprehensive, could it be that Ying Zheng was not satisfied, he pinned his hopes on the organ snake, hoping that Ying Zheng could see it.

Turning around and coming to a clearing, Ying Zheng saw a giant machine snake, this machine snake was more than thirty meters long, the thickness of the body part was about five meters, and the snake body was extremely red. It's all made of steel, and the horror in Yingzheng's heart goes without saying.

Lu Ban said: "Trap Snake: Dancing in the sand, its whereabouts are treacherous. It is divided into large and small, and it is very combative. It is not appropriate to use large snakes in this manufacturing department, and I ask the king to forgive me.

However, the minister can let them operate small snakes to show the king. ”

Only then did Ying Zheng discover that there was a small trap snake ten meters away from the large trap snake, which was also red all over, ten meters long and three meters high.

Ying Zheng said lightly: "Yes." ”

A male loser disciple climbed up to the head of the snake, and there was a groove in the head that could seat two people, and there was a lever to control the entire snake.

The snake starts, lifts the snake's head, the snake's head can be used to ram, and the whole snake has the ability of the snake, such as hovering, twisting action, and can also stand two-thirds of the body upright, and the tail can also sweep and so on.

Ying Zheng is very satisfied, this is the reason why he wants to reuse the public loser, with these siege organs, it will be much easier for the Great Qin soldiers to attack the city and pull out the village, and when attacking the difficulties, how many Great Qin men who need to fill it with their lives do not have to be sent to death.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh: "Shinong Gonggong, how narrow-minded this kind of thinking is. ”

Lu Ban was silent, although the public loser and the Mo family were skilled, but the king disdained to be with them, and his attitude towards them was that he needed to find you to make some for the country, and he didn't need to stay there coolly. As for any financial support, don't even think about it, it's all up to them to be self-reliant.

Now the public loser is valued by Yingzheng, full support, the private organ plow, machine car, etc., as well as the track being built, with Xianyang as the center, east and west, north and south each one, if it is repaired to the meaning of the Qin State, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is groundbreaking, and the grain transportation and army mobilization are extremely convenient.

In civil use, the transportation of goods in various places, how much time, manpower, and material resources have been saved, this is a big project, and it is expected to be used in ten years, but it has been under construction for three years.

Ying Zheng left the Manufacturing Division, and the words he left behind still echoed in Lu Ban's mind: "Shang Ying is the founder of the Qin State becoming stronger, and Lu Gong is the promoter." ”

The gray-haired Lu Ban was stunned and cried, he was recognized by the king of the strongest country in the world, and compared him with Shang Ying, what a glory!!

"Shinong businessman, ridiculous. ”

Lu Ban's voice echoed in this workshop.
