Chapter 17: Huangfu Song is gone

Ask someone to dig up the latest yellow mud. Add some water to mix, put it in the middle of the mold concave, press it on the convex, take the mold, and see a piece of clay cuirass formed. Zhang Jie smiled and it was done. Hahaha.

And then there's how to pressurize. Zhang Jie set up a big hammer. It weighs six hundred pounds, like a weighing stone. Make a gantry crane first. Using good hardwood, and then hanging the hammer in the air, suddenly the hammer was lowered, and with a loud clang, the hammer smashed on the mold on top and pressed down. Yes! Zhang Jie screamed. No, no, iron striking iron will break the mold. Add a thicker board on top of the mold.

Then, Zhang Jie said: Start work. I saw a craftsman use large pliers to put a piece of iron plate that had been beaten and burned red, and placed it in the middle of the concave mold below. The four craftsmen put on wet cowhide gloves, carried the mold on it and pressed it, and then put a thick wooden board on it, and the man walked away. Dian Wei pulled the hammer and shouted! Put. Everyone let go at the same time. Bang. Then the hammer was hoisted. When I took the mold, I saw that the plate armor was formed, but it seemed that some of it was not in place.

After cooling, Zhang Jie took a look and said: The pressure is not in place. Zhang Jie said to the steward: You write down, first, the pressure is not enough. The hammer is still lighter. Add the hammer to a thousand pounds. Second, use an animal to pull a hammer, make a winch, and pull it with an animal. Third, it is necessary to prevent the hammer from shaking from side to side, and the force is uneven when hammering. After lifting the hammer, people can use wooden sticks and bamboo poles to stand on the four iron hammers and four states to support it. Don't let it sway from side to side. Then after the plate is formed, it is necessary to drill the hole while it is hot. The edges should be perforated and tied with ropes. A few days after the improvements, the first cuirass was finally created. And then there's the back one. It's easy to do with experience. This thing, as long as he makes more than a dozen sets of molds, the material tube is enough, and he can make tens of thousands of sets of cuirasses a month. Zhang Jie set up a helmet again. Helmets, a bit like the national army of later generations, helmets, simple and practical, are also stamped with molds.

When the first cuirass came out, experiments were carried out on the school grounds. The wooden man tied up his cuirasse, and shot with a bow and crossbow at fifty paces, and it clanged, clanged, and could not be shot. But I'm so happy that Zhang Jie is so happy. After the beginning of spring, Zhang Jie continued to recruit troops. Another 5,000 men were recruited. Training is being intensified.

One day, a humane came: Huangfu Song asked Zhang Jie to discuss the matter. Zhang Jie thought about whether there would be danger, but after thinking about it, he didn't think that Huangfu Song wanted to kill him. Take Dian Wei to the state pastoral mansion to discuss matters. Meet the Governor! Have a seat. The emperor on the throne Fu Song said: Now I heard that the people of the world have recruited soldiers again? Zhang Jie said: Yes, the Black Mountain thieves are rampant, I heard that there are 100,000 people, and last month, Fanyang and Yuancheng suffered heavy losses. There are only more than 800 people in the county guard, and they are all old soldiers. Captain Gao Shun also complained bitterly. So Jie wanted to recruit some soldiers and horses in order to reassure the people. In fact, these Huangfu Song also knows.

Huangfu Song said: Do the people know why the old man has not moved you since you came to Yecheng? Although you have Zhang Rang as the backstage, if the old man wants to move you, it is useless for Zhang Rang to come in person. The old man has been observing you, although you are from Zhang Rang's protégé, but you are different from Zhang Rang, you are not afraid of power, do not oppress the people, although you are ruthless and have some ambitions, but if a young man has no ambition at all, it is stupid. So if you recruit troops, the old man will turn a blind eye. In addition, the imperial court also allowed various states and counties to recruit some village warriors in the first year of Zhongping. Therefore, the old man did not stop it.

Zhang Jie was crazy in his heart, he thought it was secret, but he didn't expect that this old guy was very clear. Zhang Jiedao: The general may not know that Cai Bo is a daughter, and Miss Cai Yan let the thieves arrest him last year? What the? Huangfu Song was furious, when did it happen, go to the autumn of the year. Jie was favored by Mr. Bo Jiao, and he also admired Miss Zhao Ji for a long time and wanted to find it. Kejie asked people to go to Montenegro to look for it, but the person was not in Zhang Yan's hands. Therefore, I wanted to recruit some soldiers to destroy the bandits.

Huangfu Song nodded and said: Affection and righteousness are great husbands! Zhang Jie finally passed the test in a flicker. The old man came to you for something important to tell you. In the Xiliang Kingdom, Han Sui and others have gathered to rebel for several months, and His Majesty issued an order to let the old man go to quell the rebellion. The old man only took his personal guards back to Luoyang, and the remaining more than 4,000 soldiers and horses were led by the military Sima Zhang He. You have to cooperate with Zhang He to manage Jizhou well. Ensure the supply of grain and grass for Zhang Hebu. Waiting for the arrival of a new state pastor.

Zhang Jie was ecstatic in his heart, and said expressionlessly: After you put down the rebellion, won't you go back to Jizhou? Ay! It is an eventful season, and I don't know if the counterinsurgency can be achieved quickly. It is estimated that even if the counterinsurgency is successful, it will not be able to return to Jizhou. So when are you leaving? Ay. Counterinsurgency is a big deal. Leave tomorrow. Najam will send the general tomorrow. Huangfu Song nodded.

Zhang Jie returned to the Taishou Mansion and asked someone to call for a trial, and the two were in the study. Although he was frustrated, Tian Feng confessed to the Lord, but after a short time, this rebellion was still the most trusted by the judge, and the judge also knew this, and he was very pleased. Zhang Jie said: Zhengnan's opportunity has come, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has come.

Interviewer: What chance? Zhang Jiedao: Just now Huangfu Song told me that His Majesty ordered him to go to Xiliang to quell the rebellion, and he will leave tomorrow. He only brought a few hundred personal soldiers, and let Zhang He lead the rest, and asked me to cooperate with Zhang He to manage Jizhou. In fact, it is to let us supply Zhang He's people with grain and grass. Waiting for the arrival of the new state pastor of the imperial court. Judging and saying: This is an opportunity, let's find a way to swallow Zhang Hebu, plus, our own soldiers and horses, there are nearly 20,000 people.

Zhang Jie said: Yes, those 4,000 soldiers and horses, but veterans, have killed a lot of yellow turbans, all of them are elite soldiers and horses, Zhang He is a general, but not a hero, thin-skinned. Gello was able to swallow him by means. Judge: Who is the new state pastor? Can the lord let Zhang Rang let you be the state pastor?

Zhang Jie said: Impossible, Liu Hong is not a fool, and those old guys in the court will not agree, if I am a guard, those guys are afraid of Zhang Rang, and sometimes they turn a blind eye. But if it's a state pastor, it's too glaring. Jie's qualifications are too shallow, and he has no military merits, so he is not from a famous family. So don't even think about it. However, although Jie can't be a state pastor, he can't make others do it. How to say, judge the way.

Zhang Jie said: Although Huangfu Song went to quell the rebellion, but the Son of Heaven did not deprive him of the position of state pastor, and when he went to quell the rebellion for a few months, it should not be, the new state pastor, a few months later, Yuan Feng, He Jin, Zhang Rang, fighting for power and profit, will definitely quarrel for the selection of the state pastor. (In history, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing to serve as Han Fu Jizhou Mu) During this time, we took advantage of the opportunity when there was no state pastor to integrate all the soldiers and horses in Jizhou. Hold it firmly in your hands. Let's depend on the situation in the world. If it's a dragon, let's kill him on the way and blame Zhang Yan. If it's a worm, let's make him a puppet. In a word. Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish.

Good! That's it!

Outside the south gate of Yecheng, Huangfu Song wants to go back to Luoyang, many officials of the state pastoral government have come to send each other, the ancients have the habit of sending ten miles, Zhang Jie, Zhang He, Xun Chen, Tian Feng, and a group of officials, Huangfu Song with five hundred personal soldiers, the pro-soldiers go first, and Huangfu Song walks behind. Huangfu Song clasped his fists with both hands and said: Yizhen has to work hard for everyone to send each other, please stay, Jizhou will please ask you.

Zhang Jie stepped forward and said loudly: Take care of the general, Jie has a poem to send.

Thousands of miles of yellow clouds and white sunshine,

The north wind blows the geese and dust.

Don't worry about the road ahead,

No one in the world knows you.

Take care! Huangfu Song chattered, don't worry about the road ahead without a confidant, no one in the world knows you. Good, good, Shimin is so talented. said goodbye, and then Huangfu Song got into the carriage and left.
