208 Gathering momentum (3)
When Tuoba Ling went to the secret firearms training ground in the military camp, Alem and the craftsmen were talking anxiously. Due to the language barrier, both sides gestured with their hands.
So when Alam saw that the great national teacher had actually arrived here, he suddenly seemed to see a savior, and said excitedly: "Great national teacher, you can count it as coming." ”
"Qin Luo, why didn't he follow you as a translator." Tuoba Ling looked around and asked knowingly.
Alem explained: "The khan suddenly called him away, saying that there was something important to discuss. Fortunately, you are here, I really don't understand what the Central Plains people said. ”
Tuoba Ling is a person who is proficient in Chu language on the grassland, even better than what Ye Leyi said. He said to Craftsman Zou, "What are you training? ”
"Fire
Tipped arrows. Craftsman Zou pointed to a bunch of arrows with a small * barrel of special bows and arrows tied to them, "This thing is difficult, and if you are not careful, you will injure yourself." ”
Tuoba Ling played with an arrow, "How do you use this thing?" ”
Craftsman Zou pointed to the * tube above, "There is a lead on it, you have to light it and shoot it." *Arrows and normal arrows can burn and explode quickly, so they are perfect for fire attacks. ”
"Oh, that's amazing." Tuoba Ling's heart moved, "I didn't expect black."
fire
The medicine is so powerful, do you know how to prepare it? ”
"I don't know, we are all craftsmen, so we are responsible for casting iron, carrying things, and doing rough work." Craftsman Zou said.
Tuoba Ling still didn't give up and asked, "You see that they are worthy*, you can always steal some teachers." ”
"It's confidential, and it's out of reach of ordinary people." Craftsman Zou looked at the strange adult in front of him suspiciously, "The adult also wants to make firearms?" ”
"Hahaha, I'm just curious, curious." Seeing that the set of words failed, Tuoba Ling turned his head to Alam and said, "This thing is very simple, just light the fuse and shoot it out." ”
Alam called a few carefully selected soldiers and asked them to put a few arrows to try. It's a pity that the soldiers saw this kind of thing for the first time, and they either shot crookedly, or forgot to light the fire, and the worst thing was that they lit the fire and shot late, and almost blew themselves up.
Alem couldn't help but cover his face, it was too difficult to train a firearms battalion.
Tuoba Yan called Qin Luo over, in fact, it was not a big deal, just to give Tuoba Ling a chance to get close to the craftsman. After Qin Luo came over, Tuoba Yan symbolically cared about the craftsmen's living arrangements and when they would leave.
Qin Luo said: "It is impossible for them to stay for too long, and after some new firearms are brought over later, they will teach how to use them, and then they will leave." ”
"It's so fast, but our soldiers may not be able to master it." Tuoba Yan wanted to delay for a while and give the second brother time to talk.
Qin Luo said with a smile: "You only need to teach a few, I went to be a translator this morning, and I saw that General Alemu learned very quickly, and he immediately mastered how to use artillery." Let Alem study hard and teach others in the future. ”
"That's just as well." Tuoba Yan rubbed his hands, "This time it opened my eyes, I didn't expect Nanchu to be so powerful, worthy of being a big country." ”
Xiang Qiang and the Chu people have always looked down on each other, and it was the first time that Qin Luo heard the words praising Southern Chu from Tuoba Yan's mouth, he smiled in surprise and did not speak.
"When you were going to be an envoy, I was a little unimpressed when it came to these firearms. Now with them, attacking the Chishui Department and recapturing Danyang City is just around the corner. ”
"Khan, don't be in a hurry." Qin Luo persuaded, "Now we haven't fully mastered the use of firearms, and if we go to the battlefield rashly, we will accidentally injure our own people." Khan, give General Alem a little time and let the firearms battalion train well. ”
"Of course." Tuoba smiled with great ambition, he not only wanted the firearms battalion to learn to use firearms, but also wanted Xiang Qiang's craftsmen to learn to make firearms.
The great master failed to speak, so he came up with another trick, planning to recruit Xiang Qiang's best craftsmen and let them imitate the firearms transported from the Central Plains.
Blacksmith Sun recently discovered that many of the craftsmen around him had been secretly brought into the barracks and never returned.
What's going on? Blacksmith Sun was puzzled, but before he could come up with an answer, Tuoba Ling set his sights on the blacksmith again, as a blacksmith Sun who had good blacksmith skills, he was naturally on the list.
"You're Blacksmith Sun, aren't you?" A soldier came up with a roster and said, "Come with us." ”
"Where are you going?" Blacksmith Sun asked.
"Don't ask, just follow along." The soldier didn't bother to pay attention to Blacksmith Sun's question, and continued to shout at the list, "Zhang Dazhui is not, follow me." ”
Blacksmith Sun and the rest of the dozen or so blacksmiths were taken to the barracks, and the craftsmen who disappeared first were also here at this moment. Blacksmith Sun frowned, Xiang Qiang might have made some big moves, but unfortunately now he couldn't send a message to Qin Luo.
Sure enough, the great master came over in person, he looked at the craftsmen below, and said condescendingly: "I called you here to see if you can make such a weapon." Come on, put the fire
Bring up the medicine arrows. ”
Tuoba Ling knew that artillery, a difficult firearm, might not be able to be made for a while, but he looked at the fire
Medicine arrows, this thing is lightweight, easy to carry, and it is a sharp weapon for the steppe cavalry.
Blacksmith Sun listened to the fire
medicine arrows, then I knew Xiang Qiang's plan. He and Qin Luo both believed in Tuoba Yan too much, they didn't expect them to be so greedy and want to study fire
Pharmaceutical technology. Blacksmith Sun Xindao firearms manufacturing technology must not be learned by Xiang Qiang, otherwise it will be a catastrophe for the Central Plains.
"Before your eyes is fire
Medicine arrows, shot when ignited, can explode and have infinite power. Tuoba Ling gave the craftsman a brief introduction, "You can disassemble it, but be careful of what's inside." I want you to figure out the black
fire
The ingredients of medicine, in the future, we will have firearms. ”
The craftsmen below were all talking, and the first time they had seen such a thing, they were all very novel. Among the craftsmen, there are Chu people and Qingyun people, and Qingyun craftsmen are naturally eager to try, while the craftsmen of Chu are as worried as blacksmith Sun.
Blacksmith Sun lowered his head and thought about how to pass the news to Qin Luo, and after the great master finished explaining, he was ready to leave. Before leaving, he said to the soldiers: "It's a matter of secrecy, all the craftsmen here are not allowed to step out of the barracks, otherwise they will be killed." ”
"Yes." The soldier took the order. Before the development of *, the blacksmith Sun and his group could not contact the outside world.
Blacksmith Sun tried to go out several times, but was stopped by the soldiers. Not only that, but he was also kept under strict supervision by the soldiers as the object of suspicion. Blacksmith Sun was like an ant on a hot pot inside, and Liu Changfeng outside finally found that he hadn't seen Blacksmith Sun for several days.
First, Liu Changfeng sent a message to blacksmith Sun, but no one replied. Later, Liu Changfeng dressed up in disguise and went to blacksmith Sun's shop to find someone to inquire, only to learn that blacksmith Sun and several other blacksmiths had been taken away. As for where and what to do, no one knows.
Could it be that Blacksmith Sun was found to be an intermediary? Liu Changfeng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he was not afraid of exposing the problem of not exposing it, so he sneaked into Qin Luo's sleeping tent late at night, which startled him.
"Why are you here?" Qin Luo frowned and looked at someone who fell from the sky, "There are many people, and you are not afraid of being discovered?" ”
"It's a big deal, I have to discuss it with you." Liu Changfeng said, "Uncle Sun, he's gone. ”
Qin Luo was taken aback, "What does it mean to be gone?" ”
"I went to his blacksmith shop and asked, and they said that some soldiers had taken Uncle Sun and a few other people, and they hadn't gone back for several days." Liu Changfeng said eagerly, "Could it be...... Exposed, right? ”
"Uncle Sun has always been very cautious, and he has been hiding for so many years without being discovered. And there were other blacksmiths who were also taken away, I don't think their identities were revealed. ”
"What's that, for no reason, to take him away all of a sudden?" Liu Changfeng asked.
"Blacksmith ......" Qin Luo's heart suddenly moved, "You go and help me check again, in addition to the blacksmith, are there any other craftsmen who have disappeared?" ”
