Chapter 226: Repeater
When Chen Jin returned to Chang'an, it was also the beginning of the third year of the Han Dynasty, after saying goodbye to Pang De and thanking him, he went to Zang Hong's mansion to meet Zang Hong, as his father's teacher, this etiquette must be done, after having lunch in Zang Hong's mansion, Chen Jin went to Chang'an Academy with his bags.
Chang'an College is basically not allowed to go out except for the [3Q Chinese] annual holidays, and outsiders cannot come in casually, and food and accommodation are managed by the college in order to avoid the students of the college being disturbed by the outside world.
After lighting up the identity cards of the disciples of the academy, Chen Jin entered the academy, only to find that there was a depressing atmosphere in the entire academy.
"What happened?" Chen Jin returned to his dormitory, while tidying up his bed, he looked at his roommate suspiciously, he was older than him, he had been in the academy for three years, his name was Guo Huai, and he was the son of the assassin of the state: "Why do you feel quite depressed?" ”
"Childe, haven't you heard of the rebuilding of the three school minutes?" Guo Huai looked at Chen Jin and said with a wry smile: "Nowadays, many students in the academy feel that they are successful in their studies, and I am afraid that they will not have the opportunity to become a leader. "Chen Jin's identity is unknown to most academy disciples, but Guo Huai, as Guo Yi's son, naturally can't be unaware, and even he was arranged as Chen Jin's classmate by the academy, in order to be able to protect Chen Jin and avoid being bullied by some blind eyes.
"These three school minutes, my father was also quite in favor of it at the beginning, but you are not in Luoyang, I don't know that during that time, the entire Luoyang Shi crowd was angry, my father avoided Xingyang, and the three princes came to the door together, and my father was also very embarrassed about some things." Chen Jin sighed, he was still at home at the time, and Luoyang celebrities kept coming to the door, disturbing his mother's purity, and Chen Jin was also quite annoyed by this.
Guo Huai nodded: "This academy was founded by the general, and the minutes of the three schools can be said to be the most perfect and organized of the academy, if there is no great resistance, the general will not be like this, alas~" Guo Huai is strictly speaking, after all, Guo Yi is now a history of assassination in the state, but the Guo family is a family of generals, Guo Yi's attitude in this matter is also a little wavering, on the one hand, he wants to protect the interests of the scholars as a scholar, but on the other hand, Guo Yi has been leading troops in the border for a long time, and he knows that if the minutes of the three studies are completely denied, It was an absolutely devastating blow to the morale of the officers and men in the army.
After all, there has been hope before, but now someone has completely closed this hope, no matter who it puts on it, it will not be comfortable.
And the fundamental reason why the academy is rejected by the family is also here, most of the students of the academy are poor and meritorious soldiers, like the children of the family, there is no need to send their own children to the academy, and the professors in the academy cannot be better than their own family.
Just like Chen Jin was personally helped by Chen Mo to lay the foundation for him since he was a child, teach him knowledge, and even in order for Chen Jin to understand the truth, take Chen Jin to experience the life of a farmer, ordinary people, but there is no such condition, after Chen Jin entered the academy, whether it is knowledge or morality, he can be called the best group in the academy, which is also a reason why the wealthy family looks down on the academy.
Without a famous teacher, the disciples taught cannot be compared with the outstanding talents cultivated by the family, Chen Mo sent Chen Jin to the academy, and what he wanted was that Chen Jin could learn how to get along with others.
However, what makes the family feel threatened is that the dozen or so disciples who were sent to the official career from Luoyang Academy are no worse than the heirs cultivated by the family, and their political achievements are outstanding.
"That's what the game between North Korea and China is all about." Chen Jin smiled and said: "I think you don't have to be too pessimistic, my father spent ten years of hard work for the academy, everyone can understand the minutes of the three studies, how can my father not understand, now it is just an obstacle, a temporary compromise, Mr. Zhengping is still fighting with people in the court, these three minutes will definitely be re-implemented, we just need to do a good job of learning." ”
"What Childe said is also quite reasonable." Guo Huai nodded, he was not too worried, with his family, he would be able to stand out no matter what the future.
"But people's hearts must also be appeased." Chen Jin felt that he should help out and appease the emotions of the disciples of the academy, looked at Guo Huai and said with a smile: "Later, when I go to dinner, I will discuss this matter with everyone. ”
"I'll be with Childe." Guo Huai nodded. …… The things over there in Chang'an Academy, Chen Mo naturally won't be too clear, Cai Yan's mood has stabilized a little in the past few days, another year of spring ploughing has arrived, Chen Mo is already presiding over the spring ploughing, and the dispute in the imperial court has also come to an end temporarily, the Qiang Rebellion in the northwest was suppressed by Xu Rong and Hua Xiong with iron-blooded means, and the thieves who appeared in various counties, this time Chen Mo did not let go because of their convergence, since it has emerged, it must be eradicated.
If it weren't for the matter of the minutes of the three studies this time, Chen Mo would not have known that there were so many bandits and grass bandits under his rule, even if he knew that most of them were inseparable from the wealthy family, but it still made Chen Mo angry, this was a denial of his own ability, a little slap in the face, Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu, Pang De, these generals who had nothing to do for the time being, were all sent out by Chen Mo to suppress bandits.
"Bang Bang~" Luoyang school, Chen Mo held a crossbow, with the machine bracket pulled, the two arrows were sent out one after another, crossing a distance of sixty steps, and accurately submerged into the arrow target, but the position of these two arrows on the arrow target is a little far, the first arrow can still hit the bull's-eye, but if the second arrow is not Chen Mo pressed steadily, I am afraid that it will miss the target.
"Good!" Even so, Chen Mo was a little happy, this is a repeating crossbow instead of a salvo crossbow, on the battlefield, firing two arrows in a row can have a better suppression effect, after handing the repeating crossbow sent by this craftsman battalion to Dian Wei, Chen Mo looked at Ma Jun beside him and said: "It's just that this force can't be controlled, the second shot is very off, and one pull is included, although the two shots are shot out one after another, but they are not controlled by others, this point may be improved?" Is it possible to do three, four, or even more? ”
"The Lord forgives sins!" Ma Jun hurriedly bowed down and said, "Once the crossbow machine is pulled, it will be difficult to stop; As for more bursts, this crossbow body is too small to accommodate so much, if you want to burst fire, you must increase the crossbow body, after making it, I am afraid it is not smaller than a bed crossbow. ”
"Bed crossbows are also acceptable, with such sharp weapons, put a few when defending the city, it will be more difficult for the enemy to break the city, even if the two armies are facing each other, they can also take the lead in taking the lead." Chen Mo smiled and waved his hand and said, "Deheng can make this thing, it is quite extraordinary, what is the crime?" Order, reward Deheng brocade 100 horses, money 100,000, this thing is made, thanks to the community, how can it be punished? ”
"Thank you, my lord!" Ma Jun hurriedly bowed down to thank him, during this time, the scholars made the minutes of the three studies, and began to criticize Chen Mo for bringing craftsmen into the court.
"As for the words of those people in the court, Deheng should not take it to heart." Chen Mo comforted: "Do your own thing, other things, have me!" He postponed the matter of the Sanxue Minutes, not because he was afraid of these people, but because he was worried that the attitude of the wealthy families in Jizhou would affect the resistance he received too much when fighting for Jizhou, but Cao Cao was cheaper, but after some people saw the success of the Sanxue Minutes, they began to inch by inch, and they couldn't see themselves clearly, and they began to criticize the craftsmen and farmers Zhonglang generals set up by Chen Mo before.
For these people, it was too much, Chen Mo didn't mind pressing him to death directly, did he really regard his concession as weakness?
Because of the matter of the three school minutes, Chen Mo was holding his stomach, if these people wanted to further suppress Chen Mo without knowing whether they were alive or dead, they would be hitting Chen Mo's knife edge.
"Thank you, lord!" Ma Jun and the others said gratefully.
"Do more things like this, whether it is for the benefit of the people or the army, as long as you can do it, it will be the greatest contribution to the imperial court." Chen Mo smiled: "There is also this repeating crossbow, it is better to have a longer time between two shots, so that people can reposition, and it is better to be able to shoot three shots in a row, and two shots are still less after all." "The crossbow will be very effective on the battlefield, especially the accurate range and penetration of sixty steps, this power is not small, when the two armies are hedged, come to three rows of such crossbows, and even directly determine the outcome of a war.
Ma Jun nodded, these two rounds of crossbows are only the first test, although it is difficult to achieve ten rounds like Chen Mo said before, but if there are three rounds of crossbows, some modifications can be made, and it is not impossible to meet Chen Mo's requirements.
"Don't worry, the lord will try to improve!" Ma Jun saluted Chen Mo and bowed to retire.
"There's no hurry." Chen Mo nodded and smiled: "If you can really make a three-shot repeater, you can make more of it, and let the soldiers in the army become proficient." ”
"Whoa!" Ma Jun bowed down and said, "Retire from the next pass!" Ma Jun and the others left, and Chen Mo was still studying the new crossbow, but he saw Dian Wei striding over, and saluted Chen Mo and said, "Lord, Wen Xian is here." ”
"Let him come." Chen Mo nodded and smiled. Soon, Li Ru walked quickly to Chen Mo's side, and saluted Chen Mo and said, "My lord, Jizhou is here to report." ”
"Fighting?" Chen Mo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked.
"Never." Li Ru shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Shang's general Zhang He led his troops to Daijun, it seems that he wants to recapture Daijun. Chen Mo frowned when he heard this, this is not good news, Zhang He led the army north, it is not just as simple as Daijun being threatened, but also means that Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan seem to have reached a consensus, Yuan Shang actually began to send troops and horses from the hinterland to help Youzhou?
If the two brothers join forces, it will not be easy for Jizhou to take it.
"Go home!" Chen Mo got up and said, this matter has to be studied carefully.
