"A barbarian is a barbarian, a pirate is a pirate, respectful on the outside, vulgar on the inside." Looking at Ping Qingsheng's back, Yu Zheng said disdainfully, "Qin Wang, Your Majesty values you so much, you have to give Your Majesty an explanation, whether the Khitan Kingdom and the Dongying Kingdom will fight in the end." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Khitan Kingdom will never dare to call now." Qin Forget said affirmatively, "The last general is on the northern border, and he has been paying attention to the movements of the Khitan Kingdom, in the past few years, they have been in constant trouble in their own country, and it is impossible for them to go south now." Your Majesty, think about it, if they want to fight our Dayan, then the Tea Horse Market will not be able to fight. Without adequate material support, what would they do to fight the Uighurs? ”

Hearing Qin Wang's words, everyone was relieved, thinking about it, no matter how powerful the Khitans were, it was impossible for them to start a war with the Uighurs and Dayan at the same time.

"Qin Forget, the stakes are very high, are you willing to make a military order!" Hearing Qin Forget say this, Li Chengan suddenly stood up and said with a serious face.

Seeing Li Chengan say this, Wen Man's eyes lit up, and his eyes were full of praise for Li Chengan. As long as Qin Forget makes a military order, he and Li Cheng'an will let the Khitan and Dongying people send troops no matter what, and at that time, see who can keep Qin Wang's head.

"The last general is willing to make a military order, if the Khitan and Dongying people will send troops, please behead the last general." Qin Forget knew Li Cheng'an's thoughts, but things had developed to this point, and Qin Forget had to reassure Cao Ziwen and the civil and military officials, so he could only say this.

"Okay, Qin Wang, this is what you said." Li Cheng'an's face had a smile of successful trickery, "Your Majesty, colleagues, everyone can testify, as long as the Khitans and Dongying people send troops, Qin Forget should be killed!" ”

"That's nature, there is no joke in the court." Wen Man came out to testify.

"Don't worry, the two prime ministers, they won't have the kung fu to send troops." Qin Forget smiled coldly, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Since the 26th military parade, the Dayan Imperial Court has put on annual leave. Qin Forget originally thought that he would only be promoted after the year, but who knew that on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, his new appointment would come down.

Qin Forget was promoted two more levels and officially appointed as General Xuanwu, only one level lower than Li Cunzhi's Zhuangwu General, and was regarded as the third person in the Zhenbei Army. However, he no longer served as the commander of the First Army in Zhenbei, but was changed to the commander of the First Cavalry Army. The 1st Army in Zhenbei was taken over by Gu Zhixin, who had behaved well in front of the emperor last time. Surprisingly, Chen Chumo's father, Chen Dajin, was promoted to the commander of the Zhennan Army, and Chen Chumo and Yu Zhen were transferred to be his deputies. The biggest winner was Zhang Ye, who was transferred out of the Zhenxi Army and put in full charge of Cao Ziwen's newly formed 30,000 cavalry. The commanders of the Zhendong Army and the Zhenxi Army were recommended by Zhang Ye to serve as two veterans. For a while, Qin Wang's group of brothers were all overjoyed and very happy.

Although Cao Ziwen's move made concessions to those families, he also took a big step. As soon as he was appointed, he almost controlled the four towns of Youzhou in his hands. It is even more difficult to find a reason that others can't refuse, and use the former Dayan military god Zhang Ye, although a military parade is smiling and generous, but in the end it is still a good thing to turn into a bad thing. Cao Ziwen's mood was also much better, and he even rewarded Qin Forget and these people with a lot of things.

But Qin Forget was not happy at all, he didn't forget the military order he had set up for a day. And if you want the Khitan and Dongying people not to send troops, the only way is to attack and defend, and the Chicheng army takes the initiative to attack them, so that they have no time to go south

Good results.

After making up his mind, five letters were sent out through Mingyue Hall, one was for Yang Xuan, asking him to step up the harassment of the Khitans next, and it was best to make Yelu Dashi have to ask for reinforcements from the Khitan country. One was addressed to Jin Sen, asking them to intensify their sweep of the Khitan tribes and strive to attract the attention of more Khitans. One letter was addressed to Bai Jingtang in Liaodong, asking them not to shrink into the Taibai Mountain, and to beat the Khitans at the right time. One is for the Fire Dragon King, and now it's time to attack the native land of the Dongying people. The last letter was for Dong Zhuang, asking him to recruit another 20,000 soldiers, and even more to prepare for a big battle just in case.

Qin Wang's order was very happy, but he also had a bit of a headache, he didn't know how much silver it would cost to spend five major military operations, but he felt that he might not be able to afford it on Akagi alone. Qin Forget was also a little confused in his heart, as if he had been the shopkeeper for so long, no matter whether the family knew that salt and rice were expensive, he felt that it was time to make some money for Chicheng.

Make money, make money, Qin Forget kept thinking. He is now in Youzhou, why can he make some money?

There are a lot of things produced in Chicheng, and the beautiful jade of Kunlun Mountain has been sold to the Khitan people who have a lot of stupid money, and Qin Forget doesn't plan to make up his mind on it. The production of one-foot Dan and furniture was too small, and they were all bought by the Khitans. Quyuan plough is a farm tool, which has long been sold to all parts of Dayan, and Chicheng also has a special person to take care of this, so he doesn't need to make up his mind. The rest is the carriage, Qin Forget found that there are almost no steel-axed carriages produced in Chicheng in Youzhou, Qin Forget made up his mind, it was him. When he came to Youzhou, he brought one, and it happened that Chen Dajin invited him to dinner, so he used this to advertise, maybe he could open the market.

Qin Wang's carriage was specially made, and its appearance was not much different from that of ordinary carriages, but Qin Wang's knowledge was that the entire carriage was made of fine iron, and the steel plate on the wall of the carriage was half a finger thick, which was enough to resist the shooting of the bed crossbow, but a layer of wooden planks was nailed to the outermost part to hide people's eyes and ears. Even the base and wheels are made of stainless steel. Such a carriage was more than ten times heavier than an ordinary carriage, and if it were not for the use of Akagi's special stainless steel axles and rollers, it would definitely not be able to run.

Qin Wang's carriage was nothing special on the road, but it quickly attracted everyone's attention. Ordinary carriages will sound a "wheeling" sound when they run, which can be heard from afar. But Qin Wang's carriage didn't make any sound at all, and it was very stable. It was the first time for the people of Youzhou to see such a carriage, and they all stopped in surprise and made enough eyeballs.

What's even more satisfying is that although the carriage is very heavy, it is not bumpy at all, it turns out that Jin Xu installed two layers of thick steel sheets at the junction of the axles and the carriage on both sides, these two layers of steel sheets are very elastic, and the feeling of bumps is offset to the greatest extent.

"It's coming, it's Xue Feiyun, why did General Qin come in a carriage?" At the gate of the Chen family, the sharp-eyed Chen Chumo saw Xue Feiyun riding on a war horse from afar, and said to a few people behind him.

Standing around him were Chen Dajin, Chen Chuyan, Chen Chuhao, Gu Zhixin, and Yu Zhen.

The carriage stopped silently in front of several people, and Qin Forget lifted the curtain and walked out.

But Chen Dajin's attention was attracted by Qin Wang's carriage, and it was the first time they had seen such a stable carriage.

"Ouch, General Qin, this carriage is very special, what did you do?" Chen Dajin walked to the carriage with a big grin

Next to him, staring at the axle and looking carefully, "Why is there no sound at all?" ”

Seeing that it had attracted the attention of Chen Dajin and them so quickly, a smug look flashed in Qin Wang's eyes, "Tie Yi, let the carriage move, slow down, let General Cheng take a good look." He said to Tieyi, who was driving.

As soon as Tie got the order, he pulled the war horse and walked slowly.

Chen Dajin retreated with the carriage, bent down to look at the carriage carefully, and stretched out his hand to touch the axle, "Good guy, the axle is actually made of stainless steel, and it doesn't rotate with the wheels, I have lived for most of my life, and it is the first time I have seen such a carriage, and it is made in reverse, which is interesting, really interesting." ”

Because there is lubricating grease in the rollers, the rollers are sealed, and Chen Dajin can only see the exposed axles, but this is enough to surprise him, and it is really heroic to use stainless steel as the axles. What's even more surprising is that the axle is not fixed to the wheel, how it turns.

"General Cheng's eyes are like torches." Qin Forget walked to the side of the stopped carriage, "The general also saw that this axle is not fixed with the wheels, but with the base of the car. So how does it turn? Our craftsmen in Akagi installed two round rollers on both sides of the carriage. There are five or six small round steels of the same size in the rollers, and then the axles made of stainless steel are loaded into them, so that the rollers can drive the wheels to rotate around the axle together, and it is better to add some grease. ”

"Ingenuity, ingenuity!" Hearing Qin Wang's introduction, several people around sighed.

"Yes, you said that we Han people have built carriages for one or two thousand years, why can't we think of this way?" Gu Zhixin sighed.

"It's not that it's unexpected, and even if you can't think of it, it's useless." Qin Forget smiled bitterly, "Do you know how difficult it is to build this carriage?" As you can see, the most difficult thing to build is the roller and the axle, but that's not the case, the hardest thing is the material. The small round steel in the axles and rollers must be several times better than the 100-round steel. Then built by the master little by little, the wheels must be round enough, and the dozen or so small round steels on both sides must be exactly the same, otherwise although they can run, they will be bumpy to run, and the wear and tear on the axles and rollers will be particularly serious. It took us hundreds of scraps to get together the dozen or so pieces of round steel. ”

"So strenuous? It's more than ten times better than 100 steel, isn't this cost too high, general, how much silver do you get for this car? Yu Zhen asked dumbfounded.

"About three hundred taels of silver." In fact, Akagi's steelmaking technology has long been mature, and the axles and rollers can gradually be mass-produced, and the cost of such a carriage is only twenty taels of silver, but Qin Wang deliberately opened his mouth in order to make money.

"You kid is robbing money?" Hearing that Qin Forget actually asked for three hundred taels of silver, Chen Dajin exclaimed in surprise.

"Hiss......" The others gasped, this inconspicuous carriage actually cost three hundred taels of silver, enough to buy a dozen ordinary carriages. Youzhou is not without extremely luxurious carriages, those are made of yellow birch and golden silk nanmu, and are equipped with countless precious gold and silver jewelry to increase the value, although it is much more expensive than Qin Wang's car, but in terms of comfort, it must not be as good as Qin Wang's car.

"I know it's definitely expensive, but it's definitely worth the money. Look here, don't underestimate these two pieces of steel, they are made of the best steel, and the shock absorption effect is very good. Qin Forget explained again.
