"Quyuan plow?"

Zu Xiao listened carefully to Xu You's explanation of Qu Yuan Plough, as well as the detailed drawing style drawn by Ji Qinghe, his eyes shot an incredible light, and he only had to dissect Xu You's head with saliva and study it carefully, and said: "I thought that Lang Jun was only interested in killing things such as weapons and weapons, but I didn't expect that even farm tools were so proficient. Saying that, he couldn't help but go back and forth in the house in a circle, and said: "Since the Han Wu Dynasty implemented the Daitian method, the first coupling plough of two oxen and three people, and then slowly evolved into the plough wall method of two oxen and one person at the end of the Han Dynasty, this kind of straight and long plough has been used for hundreds of years, it has many drawbacks, inconvenient turning, difficulty in raising soil, and too high requirements for manpower and animal power, which directly leads to the inability of poor families or people to be self-sufficient through farming, and finally gradually degenerate into tenants of the scholars and wealthy families, and land annexation flourishes. But for hundreds of years, there has never been any kind of plough that can replace it, until tonight......" He paused, bowed his head, and said: "If you use the curved plough made by Lang Jun to cultivate, only one ox and one person can easily rotate and plough deeply, not only the force is balanced, but also the control is stable, it is simply a weapon of the country, and the people are very lucky...... The function of this plough is far greater than those extremely sharp knives and guns armor, this thing alone, Lang Jun can be called a saint, enough to be famous for a hundred years! ”

Xu You helped him up, shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about farming, how can I create such a farm tool by myself?" A few years ago, when I passed through the suburbs of Qiantang, I met an old farmer and heard him talk about such a plow, but he was just busy with mundane affairs, and never took it seriously. If it weren't for the urgent need for cattle in Tuntian this time, I would have almost forgotten! What Mr. said, you really dare not be! ”

Zu Yu has now figured out Xu You's temper, but if this lord is unwilling to admit it, it is useless for you to force him, and said with a smile: "No matter what, this is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people." Lang Jun, I know you have to plan the overall situation, but can Quyuan plough not only be limited to our tuntian? Or can it be implemented to the whole territory of Qiantang and Yangzhou first? Wait for the situation to stabilize in the future, and then consider facing the people of the entire Jiangdong? ”

"That's nature!"

Xu You even sent out the papermaking technique without reservation, not to mention the Quyuan plow, which is a very advanced production tool for the agricultural society, and said: "However, this is not something that you and I can do, first solve the urgent need of Tuntian, I will go to Feiqing Chen to tell this matter, and then come out from the Assassin Mansion, which can not only go to the people's suspicions, but also avoid worries." ”

What is the worry of the future, Xu You did not say it explicitly, Zu Yu is not a fool, it is nothing more than the power trick that buys the hearts of those who are afraid of the superiors, he nodded in agreement, and then led Xu You to the huge warehouse of the Tiangongfang that could not be seen at a glance.

In the past few months, hundreds of craftsmen from Yang, Jiang, Guangzhou and other prefectures and counties have been working day and night to improve the design of the iron knife. This new type of military standard knife is different from the handle given to Xu You, the handle and blade body are lengthened, can be grasped with both hands, more than four feet long, like a Tang horizontal knife, but not the same, slightly wider and slightly lighter, can chop, can stab, break the armor and break the blade in close combat, and the edge is extremely sharp, so it is named a sharp knife.

Since the success of blast furnace steelmaking, all kinds of low-carbon, medium-carbon and high-carbon steels can be made, and in terms of metallurgy alone, it has been completely ahead of this era for I don't know how many years. Coupled with Gu Yun's full support, the cost of the sharp knife was reduced to 700 Wen, and it initially had the possibility of large-scale installation.

In addition, there are long-handled broadswords similar to Tang Mo knives and Song Yi knives, with wide blades and long handles, shaped like mountain characters, and Xu You called them mountain knives. However, the horse army of the Southern Dynasties was not prosperous, and this kind of *** was only equipped with 500 people. And imitate the Song Dynasty Buren armor and create 500 new armor, completely different from the two-gear armor, standard helmet, cape, armor trip, gold lacquer iron armor, robe, arm guards, leather belt, shin armor, boots,

The front and back pieces of the body armor are fastened with belts, the shoulders are covered with animal skin patterns, and the belt hangs down with two large knee skirts, on which are stacked with several rows of square armor. Of course, in view of the leapfrog development of steelmaking technology, the weight of the Buren armor is not as high as 60 catties like in the Song Dynasty, which is nearly doubled, and the protection capacity is still excessive. And the five hundred hoplites equipped with mountain swords and infantry armor can trap in battle, can resist, and can cut horses, which is enough to become the mainstay of the local battlefield.

In addition to the infantry armor, he also prepared to build Mingguang armor, Shanwen armor and leather armor, etc., plus the military armor of the Chu State from the Thorn Shi Mansion, the Governor's Mansion and Gu Lu Zhu Zhang, Xu You planned to try to maintain the armor rate at about seventy to eighty percent when raising troops, which was already greater than the armor rate of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, and far better than the current armor rate of the north and south.

Xu You's idea of governing the army is very simple, if the soldiers are not hard enough, then let the equipment be harder!

However, the main production of the Heavenly Workshop is still the spear, and in array battles above the scale, the spear array is far more powerful than the knife array. The first is that the distance of the stab is shorter than the distance of chopping, the second is that the lethality rate of the gun is stronger than that of the knife, and the third is the ability to facilitate the change of the formation of the queue and the ability to fight for a long time. Whether it is Taibai Yin Jing or Wujing General Essentials, the Tang and Song Dynasty armies are most equipped with spears, but the spears have high requirements for the material of the gun shaft and the gun head. The suitable for the barrel of the gun, such as thick wood, cattle tendon wood, black wood, tuomu, sword spine wood, etc., is limited by the regional environment, transportation conditions and quantity cost, and is not suitable for large-scale use, and Yangzhou is the most bamboo.

So Xu You adopted the method of accumulating bamboo and wood in later generations, taking the common maple wood in the Yangtze River basin as the core, pasting bamboo pieces on the outside, and then winding with silk threads, leather belts or rattan bark, and finally coating lacquer on the outside, and after close combination, it can achieve the effect of bending but not bending, with both stiffness and toughness, soft head, hard waist and thick tail, which can be called the composite gun barrel of this era, not much worse than thick wood and cow tendon wood.

The head of the spear is three inches and three points long, weighs seven coins, the middle ridge is high and thick, and the two blades are thin, so that the head of the spear is really not more than two, sharp and retreating, and then equipped with a rhinoceros tail painted with red as a tassel, which is used to disturb the enemy's line of sight, and prevent the enemy's blood from flowing to the barrel of the gun and causing it to slip and not be firm.

Xu You grabbed a spear casually, pulled a spear flower, stabbed out like lightning, and stopped abruptly. The tip of the gun trembled slightly like a snake's head, and the barrel of the gun did not move at all, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Good gun!" ”

Zu Xiao is the most powerful master craftsman in the world, learned Xu You's heavenly jade calculations, and the ordnance created is not only practical but also has a great sense of mathematical curve, whether it is a simple and elegant sharp knife, or a powerful mountain knife, or the spear in Xu You's hand, it is unforgettable.

"Please give Lang Jun a name!"

Xu You gently brushed the barrel of the gun and said, "Since you have maple as the core and want to open a camp in Fenghu, then take the name of the maple gun!" ”

The maple spears are lined up in formation, the sharp knife is at close range, the mountain knife is armor to break the enemy, if you want to do a good job, you must sharpen your weapon, Xu You provides the best equipment and logistics support, and then it depends on how Zuo Yan, Qi Xiao and others train this group of unrestrained and fierce Wu Min into a wolf-like and victorious elite soldier.

After being busy all night, Qu Yuan plough was handed over to Zu Xiao to build, and then Lu Bozhi docked with him, and Xu You no longer interfered. When the sky was slightly bright, although Xu You had not slept yet, he was full of energy, summoned He Wei and Zuo Yan, and said with a smile: "Qiyi, back then, you said that there was a war art of ten thousand enemies, but the law was not taught lightly, and now that the time is ripe, it should be taken out, right?" ”

He Wei also smiled, took out the bound book of war from his arms, and said: "The law is not lightly taught is just a joke, I know that Qilang wants to ask, I have already handwritten three volumes of "He Gong Jin Yuce", please Qilang and Fenghu do not hesitate to advise." ”

Zuo Yan hurriedly said: "How dare you? I have not yet learned about the art of war, and I would like to listen to its teachings. He has always respected He Wei, and today he was taught the art of war, and he treated him respectfully as a teacher.

"He Gong Jin Yuce? But is it the legacy of the old Linggong? Xu You stood up, his face was solemn, he took the scroll with both hands, and listened to He Wei: "Yes, this is the experience of my father's generals for decades, and it was just compiled into a volume before being booby-trapped by Emperor Nagou in Jinling, and it has become a family of its own in combination with the methods of many soldiers and sages for thousands of years." If you learn and learn it, you can get three percent of a county, five percent of a state, and seven percent of the chest, then there is no war in the Southern Dynasties, and ten percent can be peaceful, and the world can be leveled! ”

He Wei's father, He Fangming, was once known as the Great Wall of Chu, and now the god of war, Shen Du, was not as famous as He Zhengbei back then. If it hadn't been brutalized by An Zidao, there might not have been a hasty escape of the Third Northern Expedition later, and it was impossible to say that Wei had already lost both sides of the Yellow River and was forced to fight for the desert with Rouran.

Xu You opened the scroll and was shocked. The so-called He Gong Jin Yuce, a total of 36 entries, in the name of rigidity and softness, odd and positive, offense and defense, self, virtual and real, subject and object, each of which contains six strategies. In addition to the lofty position, it is concise and concise, mostly quoting from the actual combat examples and incisive opinions of Taigong, Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Wei Yizi and others, and then using the experience of a lifetime of conquest to annotate and deepen. Although it is not the same as the thirty-six strategies made by another time and space, it is also similar, and each has its own merits.

"It's really Jinyuce!"

After Xu You read it deeply, he was greatly impressed, whether it was strategy or tactics, this volume of Jin Yuce has reached a level that is not inferior to the masters of the art of war in the past dynasties, he put down the volume, and said: "Qiyi, I am going to choose a secluded place in the Xuanji Academy in Lingxiu Mountain to set up the Tiger Hall, with me as the mountain chief, you as the mountain deputy, and the good talents in the army will enter the hall to practice the art of war." In addition to this volume of "He Gong Jin Yuce", Sun Tzu, Wu Zi, Yu Yuzi, Liutao, and Sanluo are all among the lectures. ”

Zuo Yanqi said: "Does Lang Jun want to publicly preach the art of war?" ”

"Not bad!"

Xu You understood what he meant, since ancient times, even ordinary craftsmen have cherished their own skills, and kept them secret, not to mention the art of war that can affect the life and death of the country, and said: "I told Wang Shibi that the military law should be strictly controlled by the Supervision Department, so that everyone is a famous general." But it is not enough to rely on the Supervision Department alone, strict military law, love soldiers like sons, but to be the foundation of famous generals, if you want to add wings to the tiger and be reborn, you have to rely on the tiger to teach them the golden and jade strategies of ten thousand enemies! ”

(Tan Daoji's thirty-six strategies come from the Book of Song and the Book of Southern Qi, especially the thirty-six strategies are widely circulated as the best policy, until the Ming and Qing dynasties or even the Republic of China, there are people or many groups of people who have written the thirty-six strategies, and then in 41 years were discovered by chance and became popular.) As far as the idea of the true art of war is concerned, the 36 strategies are dwarfed, but in terms of specific tactics, they are quite powerful. After all, civilization is gradually developing, and so is the perception of war. ）
