At that moment, Shi Bao took Shi Jin and the four of them to see Wang Lun, and along the way, he also told himself and others about passing by Jiankang Mansion and visiting Pang Wanchun Road and meeting Si Xingfang.

When they arrived at the inn and went upstairs, Shi Jin and others met Wang Lun. Wang Lun introduced Wang Dingliu to Shi Jin and others, and Shi Jin also asked Ling Zhen and Wang Lun to meet each other.

"Junior brother Ling Zhen, who was originally the deputy envoy of Tokyo's armor staff, has a nickname Thunder, and I have seen all my brothers!"

In the Northern Song Dynasty, when cold weapons dominated the country, Ling Zhen's artillery was definitely a top-level artifact that could determine the fate of the dynasty and change the direction of history. Shi Nai'an once used the mouth of Hu Yanzhuo to describe the huge power of Ling Zhen's artillery: "I have long heard that there is a gunner Ling in Tokyo, whose name is Thunder, this person is good at making artillery, and he can go to the distance of fourteen or fifteen miles. ”

Historically, Ling Zhen is undoubtedly a buried talent. According to the book, when he followed Hu Yanzhuo to attack Liangshan, he fired three artillery pieces in a row, two of which were hit in the water, and one hit the small village on the edge of Yazui Beach. The artillery hit the Liangshan garrison in one fell swoop, and the hit rate reached a third. All of a sudden, Song Jiang and Liangshan were deeply worried.

In his previous life, when Wang Lun saw this, he felt that if Hu Yanzhuo couldn't win this battle, he should really commit suicide to thank his countrymen. With 3,000 heavy cavalry mounted on a chain of horses, plus Ling Zhen's 500 artillery pieces, the advantage in weapons was too obvious, and the government army could still get support from various cities and counties. And Hu Yanzhuo actually used Ling Zhen's artillery unit as an ordinary infantry, so that Wu's clumsy plan actually worked, resulting in Ling Zhen being captured on Liangshan.

The super power of "the sky collapses, the mountains fall and the rocks crack", the ultra-long range of "fourteen or fifteen miles", and the ultra-high precision of "hitting the small village on the edge of the duckbill beach" all make Ling Zhen's artillery a divine blade that can dominate the ups and downs of the world and decide the life of the dynasty.

It is said that Ling Zhen can be said to be the leading military technical talent in Liangshan and even in the entire Great Song Dynasty. Its effect is much higher than that of Xu Ning, because Xu Ning's hook and sickle can only deal with chain horses, while Ling Zhen's artillery technology can deal with any army. If a powerful cannon with a range of more than three miles can be used well, it will be a very deterrent strategic weapon in the era of cold weapons, just like today's ballistic missiles.

It's a pity that after Ling Zhen went to Liangshan, he was not reused, and his ranking was only 52, which is probably due to the fact that he was a former lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the government army, and his job was only to "specialize in making a large and small cannon". Let Ling Zhen, the chief artillery expert and high-tech talent of the Northern Song Dynasty, be responsible for making the cannon, which is undoubtedly an anti-aircraft gun to fight mosquitoes, which is too big and too useless.

Unfortunately, in the end, the Northern Song Dynasty government did not realize the importance of Ling Zhen's talent at all. After Liangshan pacified Fangla, Ling Zhen was one of the survivors of the nine deaths. Although the Song government knew that he was "an extraordinary gunner", it only let him serve in the imperial battalion of the Gunpowder Bureau as a commander (colonel brigade level), as a petty bureaucrat, at most at the level of a deputy bureau. In the future, it seems that there are no outstanding deeds, and they are drowned in the crowd of people in inaction.

The narrow-mindedness of the feudal control group, the manipulation of interests, and the shortcomings of the mechanism made a generation of artillery wizards do nothing and end up depressed. Ling Zhen's sorrow is the sorrow of the society that cannot use his talents, and the inevitable result of the centralized system that is ruled by people and decides everything.

"The court is deaf, Brother Ling has a lot to do in my Liangshan! When I return to the cottage, I will immediately set up a firearms division under the armory! ”

Wang Lun's implication is that Ling Zhen is the leader, in charge of firearms, which is also a kind of trust.

"Thank you, brother!"

Helping Ling Zhen up and soothing him with a few gentle words, Wang Lun not only looked at Ma Ling who was standing aside.

Whether you have read "Water Margin" or not, you must know that there is a Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong who can "travel 800 miles a day" in the Water Margin. I believe that many people must have longed when they were children to have a scud like Dai Zong, and they can easily travel all over China.

However, in fact, in "Water Margin", it is not Dai Zong who is truly invincible, but Ma Ling, who is known as the god of the horse. Ma Ling takes "Ma" as his surname and "Divine Horse" as his nickname, and he is a master of magic who travels thousands of miles a day. In front of Ma Ling, even Dai Zong, who dominated the rivers and lakes with his divine deeds, could only bow down and stand aside. Ma Ling's magic technique, fast as lightning and as fast as thunder, is a well-deserved must in "Water Margin".

There are three uniques in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Zhuge Liang's wisdom, Guan Yu's righteousness, and Cao Cao's treachery, but there are five uniques in "Water Margin". These five uniques were put forward by Chen Chen, the author of "The Legend of the Water Margin", and Wang Lun had also seen it in his previous life.

Namely: Dai Zong's divine practice, Zhang Qing's stone, Hua Rong's shot, Yan Qing's fight, and An Daoquan's doctor. Are these five absolute counts? Take a look at the introduction of "Water Margin" to find out.

Dai Zong's divine deeds. Dai Zong's nickname is "Shenxing Taibao", "Shenxing" points out his stunt, "Taibao" is an official name, most of them are officials who assist the monarch or the prince, have no real power, and are just an honorific title used on Dai Zong. Where is his stunt?

The book says: "But when he came out, he sent a message to report the urgent military situation, and tied two armies, and made a 'divine practice,' so that he could travel 500 miles in a day, and he could travel 800 miles a day by tying four armoured horses to his legs." When Dai Zong was "Shenxing", "I only listened to the sound of wind and rain in my ears, and the houses and trees on both sides seemed to have fallen down in a row, and the soles of my feet were like clouds and fog."

It is precisely because of this amazing Taoist skill that he has made miraculous contributions in reporting emergency military information and saving people in danger. When he hit Beijing, Song Jiang suffered from back sores and was terminally ill, if it wasn't for Dai Zong's use of Shenxing to pick up An Daoquan, Song Jiang would have died. Dai Zong went to Tokyo to write a book on the order of Cai Jiu's prefect, and went to Liangshan by mistake and was numbed by Zhu Gui with sweat medicine, and after reporting the news to Liangshan, he invited Wu Yong to Jeju City to persuade Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian to go up the mountain, and then returned to Jiangzhou, going back and forth for thousands of miles, and completing many things in just a few days.

In fact, let's do the math, Dai Zong travels 800 a day, 24 hours a day, and only walks about 33 miles in an hour, which is a little slower than the speed of a modern marathon. The total length of the modern marathon is a little more than 42 kilometers, and the best result is a little more than two hours, which means that it takes about 42 miles to run in one hour, which is much faster than Dai Zong. It's just that there is an exaggerated description of speed in the book, and it uses Taoism, so it's a bit deified.

In "Water Margin", there are not a few people who travel the world with bows and arrows sweep the four seas, such as the ugly county Ma Xuanzan who wins the general with a beaded sword, like the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi who listens to the voice and distinguishes the position and laughs proudly in the school field, as well as the unbeatable and dominant Xiaoyang Youji Pang Wanchun in the south of the Yangtze River and so on.

But if you ask who the first arrow god of the Water Margin is, it is naturally Xiao Li Guanghuarong. Hua Rong's arrow is as fast as a meteor catching the moon, as fast as a thunderbolt, the tricky route is ever-changing, and no one can detect the hidden shot. Since Hua Rong was born, there is no false arrow, and in the branches, he can often rely on the benefits of an arrow to turn the tide and turn the tide, and he is a veritable god of arrows in "Water Margin".
