Chapter 202: Grenades and Harvests
The two of them grabbed nothing else but a binocular, these binoculars only made one by themselves, and sold it to Qin Xiang, Wu Zheng didn't remember giving this thing to them, so where did they get this telescope?
"Sister, look, there is really a pit on this moon! How did you Wu Gongzi know before? Sister...... Sister? β
Qiao put down the binoculars and saw that Yin Cao was still grabbing the telescope with her at this time, but stood behind him as if he had lost his mind, staring blankly......
Qiao couldn't help jumping when he looked at Yin Cao's gaze, and hurriedly received the telescope in his hand behind him, but after thinking about it for a while, he seemed to feel that hiding it now was a superfluous move, so he took it out generously.
"You're coming?"
Yin Cao looked at Wu Zheng at the door, the expression on his face was unclear, whether he was embarrassed or guilty, in short, silent and wonderful.
"I ...... I'm going to make you tea......"
After that, Joe ran into the house with a smoke.
Wu Zheng walked over and said, "Why did you come back?" Isn't it okay to hide in Yuzhou City? β
Yin Cao smiled and said, "Should you ask where that clairvoyant mirror came from now?" β
Wu Zheng smiled: "I really want to know, but I'm afraid that you will be embarrassed." β
"Am I not embarrassed enough now? That clairvoyant mirror was given to me by Ye Dongcheng, do you know who Ye Dongcheng is? β
"You have ever been your fiancΓ© or the Buddha of the Red Lotus Sect."
Yin Cao came down in front of the stone table, turned over the two empty cups from the table, and shouted to the room first: "If Qiao wants to serve tea, hurry up, otherwise this good tea will be wasted when Wu Gongzi leaves." β
Then he smiled at Wu Zheng and said, "I actually forgot, but he is now the Revolver Ming King of the Red Lotus Sect." β
"I'm not interested in the affairs of your Red Lotus Sect, you are still this clairvoyant mirror, where did he get it! It seems that I only sold this thing to the Qin family, if I guessed correctly, Old Man Xia should also have one there now. β
Yin Cao said: "The previous generation of the Zuolun Ming King of this sect fled to Tuyuhun under the pseudonym Gongsun Chang twenty years ago, and later became the national teacher of Tuyuhun, he can be regarded as a prominent status in Tuyuhun, but he never imagined that everything he earned in the past twenty years made a wedding dress for Ye Dongcheng."
Now Tuyuhun's national teacher is Ye Dongcheng, and the left wheel of this sect is also Ye Dongcheng, and this clairvoyant mirror was brought back from Chengdu Mansion to please me. β
"Your Red Lotus Sect's skills are really beyond my imagination! You can all bring this thing out of Chengdu Mansion? I remember that I sold it to the Qin family before it happened! No, he brought you this thing, and someone else came? β
Wu Zheng suddenly stood up from the stool and looked at the room vigilantly, as if there was a fierce beast in the room that would pounce out at any time.
Really Wu Zheng really wants to call someone now, and he should bring some guys over tonight, so he may not be the opponent of the other party with his bare hands!
The next moment, Ye Dongcheng, who Wu Zheng was waiting for, did not appear, but Qiao with tea appeared in the door.
Yin Cao smiled: "Don't worry, at least don't worry for the time being, the security captain Liu Mang you resigned to his fate, he is very good and responsible, before this, I really didn't see that guy is actually a person who is fine on the outside and fine on the inside." With him, in today's situation, ordinary people can't go up to Shenmu Mountain, but it will be difficult after a long time. β
Hearing Yin Cao's words, Wu Zheng sat down again and said, "What do you want?" Gunpowder or the method of steelmaking? You don't want our lives, do you? β
Yin Cao didn't seem to hear the meaning of Wu Zheng's words, and poured tea for Wu Zheng seriously, and then took a sip before saying: "I don't want anything, I just want you, as for him, I don't know." Another thing is that he hasn't come to Yuzhou yet, it's only his subordinates who have come, otherwise Liu Mang alone won't be able to stop him. β
"If I had known that I wouldn't have bought that thing to the Qin family."
Yin Cao said: "Don't be so depressed, okay?" In terms of martial arts, he can indeed beat you dozens of them, but in terms of vision, he is less than one-tenth of yours. In order to send this clairvoyant mirror out, almost half of our people lurking in Chengdu Mansion were killed and injured, but when he got this clairvoyant mirror, he didn't see the value of this thing at all as you think, thinking that it was just a plaything, didn't this just send it to my hands? β
"You're saying he only got the clairvoyant and not the blueprints?"
"Should it be so? But should you ask how many of us are lurking in Chengdu now? Don't you care about the situation over there right now? β
"All I care about is how much time I have left?"
"A month at most! When the army of King Zuo Xian of Tuyuhun arrived in Chengdu Mansion, even if Chengdu Mansion had the gunpowder bag you sold to them and it was difficult to conquer for a while, they would divide their troops to take Zizhou, Xinzhou and Jiazhou first, so that Chengdu Mansion would completely become a lonely city, and Chengdu Mansion with 20,000 soldiers would not attack itself in less than a month because of the problem of food and grass, and it would take them about a month to finish all this, but this did not mean that Ye Dongcheng would not bring people to Yuzhou first.
After all, there is still an emperor living in Yuzhou City, he is the great enemy of our Red Lotus Sect, and almost all of Ye Dongcheng's entire family died at the hands of that old man, so it is impossible for him not to avenge this revenge. So I have a month at most for you. β
"A month? It should be enough. β
"What do you want to do? If you don't like to hear it, although you are very capable, this kind of thing is not something you can participate in, and if you insist on participating in it, you are just a cannon fodder, and it won't play much role. β
"I've never thought about doing anything to turn the tide of the building, I just want to protect myself. Do you think I can't even protect myself now? β
"I think the only way you can protect yourself is to take a boat along the river to Yuezhou, to Jiangzhou or Jinling and Hangzhou, and you can start from scratch no matter where you are. And I also have some industries in Jiangzhou and Hangzhou, and with my help, you will be able to live better than now. Why don't you take me along! β
"I'm a little tempted by you like this, but Fei'er won't leave! My master and he won't leave, and he won't leave your big enemy, even my junior brother Chai Hu and they all want to live and die with Yuzhou, so it's impossible to talk about leaving, if you really want to leave, I'm afraid that I will even despise myself in the future. β
"What's the use of you staying, fool? The building will be poured into non-manpower, so everything you want to do in the face of Tuyuhun's army is just a mantis arm as a car, don't you understand? β
"I know! But where Chai Hu is going to die, and then I think about it, it seems that this is really the truth, death is terrible, but if there is no regret about being able to die, it seems that it is not so terrible. β
"What a fool."
"No way, I'm surrounded by fools, I'm not stupid! By the way, when you leave, I'll see you off. β
"No, I'm just going to stay here and see how you die. That's it? I haven't drunk this tea yet! β
"Don't drink it, I'm afraid you'll poison it."
"You...... Die! Joe, he doesn't drink you drink and we drink together......"
In the following days, Wu Zheng stopped all the business in the village, and all the people only did one thing, that is, to make weapons.
Wu Zheng was just thinking about the grenade before, but now he simply didn't do it again and again and did it in advance.
The son of carpenter Wang San took three people to make wooden handles, which was also made quickly after having a lathe, and four people could give Wu Zheng two or three baskets.
Blacksmith Yang Er led people to cast grenade shells from the iron slag that had been eliminated, such iron slag was useless before, and even if it was re-smelted into pig iron, it would be not cost-effective because there were too many impurities in it.
But Wu Zheng found that this kind of iron slag that can be broken and used to cast grenade shells is a good trial, once it explodes, it will be full of iron sand!
Before, Wu Zheng was still worried about how to blow the shrapnel to pieces, but since he discovered the benefits of this iron slag, this matter has been solved.
The women were also mobilized to make the cords of the grenades, and the men were responsible for making the gunpowder, which was sifted through a sieve, and the final assembly of the finished product.
Once the whole village was mobilized, there were four or five hundred people, and there were more than four hundred people except for the bear children who were not doing anything, and these four hundred people made more than 1,000 grenades in less than half a month.
And with people's familiarity with the craftsmanship, the speed at which they make them is getting faster and faster, half a month later, Wu Zheng's hand has reached 2,000 grenades, of course, the reason why they have such a fast speed, in addition to the familiarity with the process, Wu Zheng feels that it is more likely that all the people in Shenmu Village know that the war is coming.
The entire Yuzhou and even the entire Shuzhong are about to be in chaos, how can they survive? It's still the guy in hand. Uncle's grenade is a big killer, and many people have seen the detonation of the first grenade, and that kind of power is really beyond the power of manpower.
With such a grenade, it is no longer a dream to be able to defeat ten opponents, and some people actually began to hope in their hearts that the people of Tuyuhun would not do it sooner, so that they could try to use this grenade to blow up the effect.
Of course, based on the fact that there are 200 people who can fight in Shenmu Village, there are an average of 10 grenades per person of 2,000 grenades. Although it didn't seem like much, Wu Zheng also stopped, because the rice in the field was ripe.
If you don't accept it at this time, when the people of Tuyuhun come, it will be an adult's family, why should you be cheaper after a year of hard work.
So except for the carpenter and the blacksmith, everyone else went down to the field to harvest the rice, and it was mentioned that Shenmu Village had Wu Zheng, so there was also a threshing machine, the kind of human threshing machine that was stepped on by foot, although the efficiency could not catch up with the engine, but it was much better than the way of cutting the rice and beating it the wooden barrel before.
The whole village was busy harvesting rice, and even Wu Zheng, who usually likes to be lazy, also participated in person.
Looking at the golden rice all over the mountains, everyone was intoxicated with the joy of the harvest, and the haze of the impending military disaster also disappeared in everyone's hearts at this moment.
Under this emotional stimulation, in this atmosphere of harvest, the whole person seems to have inexhaustible strength.
Only a black ox cart staggered on the mountain road, and Wu Zheng, who was transporting millet to the village, stopped and ran towards the ox cart on the mountainside...... 166 Reading Network
