At this moment, the head of Hu Buqi said: "Venerable Venerable Qi, Rao Juren, who was among the Song soldiers commander on the shore, came to have something to say. ”

When Wei Jie heard this, he stroked his palms and laughed: "When you are sleepy and meet a pillow, this plan is a success!" ”

Tu Xicai was confused and asked, "Master Weijie, what is the situation?" ”

Wei Jie said: "If the materials of Hongguanya exist, our Xuanyi will not be able to do it, but with the addition of 20,000 Song soldiers, it will be different, even if it is five miles of land, 20,000 people, even if there are only 10,000 available soldiers left, each mile is 2,000 people, and we have more than 6 people who can transport things at every step." ”

[Note: Each mile in the Song Dynasty is equal to 300 steps]

Lin Xi immediately understood Wei Jie's plan, it seems that his thinking is indeed not as broad as Wei Jie, and he is not restrained at all.

Jiang Chen was particularly interested in logistics, and immediately asked, "Can those Song soldiers really cooperate with us honestly?" ”

Hu Buqi also said: "Yes, if they don't have weapons, they can't resist the soldiers of Meng Yuan; And if we bring weapons, how can we control them, any of them can kill us in a thousand-man team. ”

Wei Jie said: "Don't make a sound, I'll see it later." ”

At this time, Rao Juren was brought up, and Wei Jie asked, "Rao Juren, have you eaten it?" ”

Rao Juren swallowed his saliva: "Lord Huiyu, I didn't eat." ”

Wei Jie said, "So what are you doing here?" ”

Rao Juren said, "Ask for a bite to eat." ”

Wei Jie said: "It is worthy of lifting people, that is, it is transparent." So what is it to earn money? ”

When Rao Juren saw this situation, he immediately felt that it was different from the previous rules, he hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "Dare to ask the name of the honorable driver?" ”

Wei Jie said: "Old Wei Jie, who was previously the master of Mengyuan Turuk Wanhu, is now the general of Meng Shang and will not give up, and he is under the account. ”

Rao Juren thought for a while, suddenly remembered something, and pointed at Wei Jie in surprise and said, "You are, you are, that flying fox." ”

Wei Jie said: "Ashamed, ashamed, everyone is loved, and they are called bandits, which is insulting and inappropriate." ”

Rao Juren's legs were weak, he sat on the ground, and then he tried his best to stand up, for a while, he couldn't stand up, Wei Jie stepped forward and hugged Rao Juren, slapped his clothes, and said: "Rao Juren, why do you need to do this great gift, as long as you and I can do our best to do things for the general, the general's eyes are like torches, and I will definitely be pitied." You say it's big. ”

Rao Juren trembled, and after a while, he stood still, and hurriedly surrendered his hand:

"Yes, Xiao Ke Master Xie Weijie lifted. At present, there are six commanders on the shore, and it is said that there should be 30,000 soldiers and horses, but there was a shortage before the war, and now there are less than 20,000. Among them, there is one Chen Xingfeng, who has a second heart;

The tall man who came just now turned out to be from the army, surnamed Jiang, named Lifu, but he was not bad. The army is also more tightly organized, I was originally promoted to join the army the day before yesterday, and I am listening to this person's account.

The Song army came, although it had the intention of defending the queen mother and the emperor, but also the large camp was attacked, and the current grain, grass and water were less than one day.

Therefore, if the Xuanyi can provide drinking water and food, it will definitely be able to win people's hearts. ”

Wei Jie said: "So, can it also be said the other way around, if the Xuanyi can't provide enough money and food, these Song soldiers can also fight back between their hands?" ”

Rao Juren said: "These words are not said so, since Zhang Shijie's Taifu returned to shrink and Yashan Island, the army of grain and grass was originally hoarded, but each hoarded place, some are large camps, some are granaries, some are in the workshop, and some must be buried."

Although the amount of grain and grass is a secret in the army, but we retreat all the way, it is expected that we will not hold out for a long time, if there is no pseudo-yuan, it is very good to insist on half a year. If the army pays silver and Yashan Island is closed to a corner, then there will be more money and less materials, and the price will inevitably be expensive.

Since the Xuanyi has the queen mother and the emperor, he should know about the hidden grains.

As for how to select the organization soldiers, he can only be a messenger and spread the word on both sides.

Please accept it. ”

Wei Jie said: "We have a place of supplies, five miles away from here, and the Xuanyi is not manpowered. However, we are also worried that the Song soldiers on the shore will not be of our use, but will become a disaster. How can you teach me? ”

Rao Juren hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly spoke: "This, this, can I ask, how much grain and grass is there?" ”

Wei Jie said: "500,000 catties." ”

Rao Juren pinched his fingers and said: "According to the current battle situation, each person needs to consume 2 catties of food per day, and this 500,000 catties can be used by 20,000 people in 12 to 15 days. However, if there is grain and other armies come back to grab it, I am afraid that these 20,000 soldiers will not be able to hold it.

Dare to ask the general and Master Weijie, if you take in 20,000 people, does the Xuanyi plan to hold on, or move the defense? ”

Guo Yijiao asked: "Rao Juren, it was you who came to make peace, but you should tell me, is it better for us to stick to the Xuanyi number, or is it better to move the defense?" ”

Rao Juren sighed: "We are a Jedi here, and we have to move our defense after all." However, if there is enough food and water, we can say goodbye to the pseudo-yuan, and they are not invulnerable. In fact, my heart is also chaotic, and I really can't make any decisions. Everything is up to the general.

Hmm, can you give the next bowl of water a drink? ”

Song Qing said, "Then do you want to have some more cakes?" ”

Rao Juren swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "If this is the case, it will naturally be better." ”

Lin Xi said: "I asked you a few dry goods, and you answered it, we are useful, and you have something to eat." ”

Rao Juren hurriedly said: "General, please ask, I know everything in the lower world, and I don't hesitate to do anything." ”

Lin Xi said: "Find a way for yourself to live, we can provide water and food for the Song army, but they must work with absolute loyalty, and I don't want any uncertainties." We don't have weapons of small destruction, only weapons of mass destruction, and you looked at the Nine Links yesterday, and it's ours. You think of a way where, if there is any threat, we will kill anyone who brings a threat. If you can figure out a way, you can drink water and eat, and if you can't think of a way, you can go to the sea yourself. ”

Rao Juren's eyes rolled around: "This, General, the villain is soft-spoken, and he can't be mobilized, and he can't guarantee that there are no pseudo-Yuan spies among them, and there are two-hearted deserters." ”

Lin Xi said: "Take it out, give him a word (note: about 2 minutes) of time, and throw it into the sea when the time is up." ”

Rao Juren hurriedly said: "General, the general spares his life." ”

Mi Sanmei waved her hand: "Noise, drag it down." ”

[Note: 聒noise, 音 guō zào, to the effect that speech is trivial, the voice is noisy, and it is irritating.] But it is more expressed as the language of greeting the thieves of the horses, and here Mi Sanmei wants to express a kind of heroic spirit \/\/ banditry. 】

Suddenly, Rao Juren seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "General, General, dare to ask what kind of weapons does the Xuanyi have?" Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, the general, will be punished without teaching, and the people's hearts will not be convinced......"

Lin Xi beckoned: "What kind of weapon do you need to do it?" ”

Lin Xi's words made the eyes of the people present suddenly light up, and then I remembered that Lin Xi would still have a little golden magic, yes, why didn't I think of this problem, Master Weijie secretly pinched his hands, and regretted it, but now, the limelight has been snatched away by Rao Juren, sure enough, the ancients were in a hurry, and I don't deceive me!

Rao Juren was full of sweat, hurriedly walked back, opened his mouth and said: "General, the Xuanyi is a loach ship, and the people must not exceed eight hundred, and now it should be less than six hundred, and it should be less than six hundred, and it is necessary to protect itself, and the oarsmen need to be full, so that they cannot be less than two hundred, and at most four hundred people can be freed up, and four hundred people are distributed among the five miles, each of which is less than one hundred people, and one hundred people must be on duty in three shifts to maintain basic physical strength, that is, there are at most thirty people on duty at the same time in each mile, and two or three thousand people must be faced, which is a hundred enemies."

Dare to ask, General, do you have the weapons of a hundred enemies? ”

Lin Xi said: "Yes, the copper and iron chariot fortress, but you need to get the supplies first and transport the people who will be the prisoners over. ”

Rao Juren asked: "The first time it was transported, it is easy to say, I just saw that there are hundreds of war horses in front of you, and at this time, they must have been collected, and even the dead horses may have begun to cook."

It's just that if the material warehouse is opened, how can you prevent the entrance? ”

Jiang Chen said: "That place is in the eagle's beak rock, and there is a mountain rock barrier to rely on. ”

Rao Juren said: "Well, well, how long will it take for the chariot fortress to be made?" ”

Lin Xi was not completely sure of this, but he roughly estimated that if it was made of wood and covered with iron plates, it might be able to do the first look in two hours, so he said: "The first one may be one or two hours." ”

Wei Jie asked, "General, what does the bronze and iron chariot fortress look like?" How is the combat power? ”

Lin Xi thought for a while:

"There have been many armored fighting vehicles in our world, but they are all powered, that is, powered machines that burn fierce fire oil.

At first, it could move 50 li per hour, and then gradually developed to 200 li per hour. ”

At this time, there was a burst of exclamations, and the head of the head asked, "Master, but on the flat ground?" Or is it mountainous? ”

Lin Xi said:

"The speed of flat land, in the mountains you can cross a trench one foot high. Some chariots can also climb the water.

Although we can't do the task of the power part today, things have other uses.

We can make a simple version of the fortress today, with a wooden frame that is two zhang long, one zhang wide, and one zhang high, with a platform for casting bows and arrows, throwing grenades, and firing yakshas, and placing horizontal bars in it, which can be lifted and moved.

The outside is covered with iron sheets and nailed with rivets and wooden frames.

Make it a weight that can be carried by soldiers from two to three platoons.

Square vertebrae in the long direction, with vertical vertical plates, so that if the two forts are placed together, they can be seamlessly flattened.

More than one zhang, install a flap, if there is too much combat power after the battle, install a reprint, you can block the arrows above your head.

In addition, there is an observation hole on the lower edge of the flap, and bulletproof glass will be installed in the future. ”

The helmsman Fei Tingshan asked, "Such a basket is already very heavy, how can those bows and arrows, grenades, and fire yaksha be transported?" ”

Lin Xi said: "Let's use a three-wheeled or four-wheeled bicycle for the time being." ”

。。。。。。

Song Aoxing said:

"Venerable Master, two-wheeled vehicles are convenient, but the wheels and axles are also quite difficult, and they will not be able to do it for a while. I haven't heard of tricycles, but unicycles do.

Also, two-wheeled vehicles need horses to drive, but now we lack horses, even horses.

And it's a two-wheeled carriage, and the carrying capacity is not very large. Because in addition to the two wheels, there is nearly half of the weight to be carried on the horse, if the car stops and the horse rests, the car is unbalanced, and there is nothing that can be enlarged.

In short, it is really difficult to use the heavy car. ”

Lin Xi asked strangely: "Why don't you have a three-wheeled car?" ”

Song Qing said: "Because you can't turn around!" ”

Lin Xi realized that he had taken it for granted, looked back on his memory, and found that it seemed to be the case, so he asked Song Qing to bring a drawing board and began to draw a three-dimensional picture while explaining:

"If you don't want to put weight on a horse or an ox, you need at least three or four wheels, because two wheels can't stand on a flat surface.

If there are three wheels, the two wheels of the rear wheel must be coaxial, but they can rotate independently of each other, because when turning, they will have different walking distances, walking in the outer circle, walking distance, walking in the inner circle, walking distance.

The third wheel, the steering wheel, must be able to rotate in place, but since it is to rotate, there needs to be something that can hold up the frame when it rotates.

You see, if you use vertical wheels, you need to add brackets on both sides of the wheels, and the brackets should be combined into one after exceeding the upper part of the wheels, which is of course best done with steel and wood, the strength is too poor, and a lot of wood is needed. In the middle of the disc, a shaft is erected, which passes through the ring of the frame above, and then a pressure ring is also needed to press it tightly at the ring mouth to avoid shaking.

Finally, this axle, which leads forward, is used as a wheel, so that the horse or ox only needs to pull it. ”

Song Aoxing high-fived and said: "Wonderful, none of these things are beyond the scope of the wheel's production, hey, why didn't anyone think of it before?" In this category, the weight of the burden that needs to be pulled by the horse can be added to the car, and the weight can be directly doubled, and the horse will not get tired. ”

Lin Xi said:

"Now, let's talk about the four-wheeled carriage.

Three-wheeled carriages, our current materials, may still only be able to make vertical shaft steering wheels, there is no way to make the support frame tilted backwards, or the angle of inclination can not be very large. It's just that because we have a relatively long wheel in front of us, when the cow and horse are turning, they directly turn the steering wheel through the power of the wheel, otherwise it is difficult to move it.

In addition, the area of the three-wheeled carriage in contact with the ground is relatively small, and the stability is still poor, in addition, the weight of the front is pressed on one wheel, the rut is easy to be deep, and the amplification of the load is also relatively large.

So, there are also four-wheeled carriages.

The four-wheeled carriage can use a long carriage, and in the position of the front wheel of the carriage, it is necessary to pass through a steering disc first, and the bottom of this steering disc is still similar to the three-wheeled carriage, however, the axle and wheels are directly under the three-wheeled carriage, and under the four-wheeled carriage, two wheels are needed, or a horizontal axis.

This way, because the ground of the front wheels may not be as flat as the back, there needs to be a spring link. ”

Mi Sanmei hurriedly asked, "What is a spring?" ”

......

Lin Xi then said, "You bring a master coppersmith, a master ironsmith, a master carpenter, and a master fireworker."

Then he went on to draw a picture and say:

"If you beat iron or copper into long strips, will you feel the force of rebound when you bend it with your hands?"

Song Qing said: "Yes"

Lin Xi then asked: "If the strength is great, will the copper rod or iron rod bend?" ”

Mi Sanmei said: "Of course it will be bent. ”

Lin Xi said: "What if you bend it a little and let go of your hand?" ”

Mi Sanmei said: "So, will it bounce back?" ”

Song Qing said: "Some of them can be bounced back, and some can't." ”

Lin Xi said: "Yes, very good, if you can bounce back, it is called elastic deformation, and if you can't bounce back, it is called plastic deformation." ”

Mi Sanmei said: "I know, the soft sword can be completely bounced back." But they're long, aren't they? ”

At this time, the copper master Qi Liu (who made the battery pack), the iron master Liu Cancanlai, the carpenter Duan Yongchun, and the pyrotechnic master Yuan Tingfang went to the cabin and saluted.

Lin Xi said: "Don't be polite, look at these pictures." ”

Lin Xi drew eleven main pictures -

1. A diagram of the manufacture of coil springs;

2. A leaf spring manufacturing assembly drawing;

3. Schematic diagram of an iron shaft casting;

4. A diagram of iron tire wheel casting - above is an iron wheel with six S-shaped spokes extended, and the outer side is circled;

5. A wheel axle assembly drawing - iron axle plus iron wheel top disc at both ends, and iron wheel hub, the middle of the use of butter sliding pair, the outer side of the locking disc, the shaft has a vertical pin hole - the axle with leaf spring shock absorption, combined with the wooden frame;

6. A three-wheeled carriage steering bracket ring diagram - including the circle mouth, frame girder, girder;

7. A three-wheeled carriage vertical shaft manufacturing drawing - including front fork, steering support tray, vertical shaft, pressure plate on the vertical shaft, pressure plate pin hole, vertical shaft top installation disc hole;

8. A drawing of the wheel of a three-wheeled carriage - including the fork rim mouth and the wheel rod that are matched with the top installation disc of Liuzhou, as well as the balance for the horse;

9. A drawing of the manufacture and final assembly of the steering bracket of a three-wheeled carriage;

10. A diagram of the circle of the steering bracket of a four-wheeled carriage - this is purely two large discs, connected by a thick iron axle ring in the middle, but in the middle of the two circles, a leaf spring is used.

11. A long rod brake lever manufacturing assembly drawing - the core principle is to install a wooden long rod on the driver's right hand, this long rod is behind the front wheel, and there is a pin hinge at the bottom of the frame, and then the lower part of the pin, the brake lever continues to extend about a foot, pull a rope backwards, the rope is tied to a crossbar, the crossbar is at the back butt of the frame, with two coil springs to open, if the brake rod is pulled backwards, then the long rod drives the rope, the rope pulls the brake crossbar, and the brake crossbar will move forward, Tighten the two rear wheels, above the brake crossbar, is the frame butt of the two protruding frame rods, so that once the brake crossbar is tightened to the wheel, the wheel and the crossbar rub, will produce tight pressure with the extension frame of the butt, so that the rear wheel bears huge friction.

And once the car stops, release the brake lever, because the frame bar and brake bar are no longer under pressure, so even a small spring thrust can separate the brake bar from the wheel.

Lin Xi said:

"There's no way to make wheels that are heavy and lightweight, so you have to use sand casting or lost wax casting, and these wheels have to be lost wax casting, and lost wax casting is a good method, you just need to make a standard wood mold for wheels.

Note that there are not so many rivets in traditional wheels, so thick, we have less iron, and save some use.

Leaf springs need to be made of fine iron, and the stress parts and friction parts at both ends of the axle need to be cast with fine iron. ”

The master smith Liu Cancan asked, "Dare to ask the Venerable Master, how can the same shaft be poured with fine iron in the parts where it is needed?" ”

Lin Xi asked strangely: "Do you cast long things, do you only have one pouring hole and one outlet hole?" ”

The blacksmith Liu Cancan wondered for a while, and then said angrily: "It's not a secret, we make long weapons are all beaten, poured, and most of them are pots."

Copper master Qi Liu said: "Lao Liu, if we cast a copper bell, because of the complex shape, sometimes there will be more than one pouring mouth, and more than one gas outlet, if it is a casting Dingwen, because there can not be so much copper juice at a time, otherwise the power is too great, and it will also break the mold, and it will be poured at the same time in copper juice and position." ”

After all, the iron master is a master ironsmith, and he knew for a while: "More Lao Qi, I already know, Master, can we divide two sprues, three gas outlets, two sprues in the round platform at the axle, one central gas outlet in the middle of the axle, and two small air outlets at the top of the axle, so that once poured, the refined steel will close in the middle, but so, it is still all stainless steel." ”

Copper master Qi Liu said: "Lao Liu, you can open another pouring opening in the middle, and then between the two shaft tables and the middle pouring opening, use a thin skewer to check two or three ventilation holes, so that it is more calm, and the pouring time is less, and the fusion will be better." ”

The blacksmith said, "In this way, the temperature of the furnace must be perfect." ”

The master pyrotechnic said, "The Venerable Master's boiler, we use a bellows, which can raise a certain temperature, but it is still very difficult to quickly burn pure steel. ”

Lin Xi said: "There is a way to do this, you build a kiln and use the method of charcoal refining to make coke, and the coke is extremely hot. ”

The master fireworker said: "Coke, I know this, but for daily use, it may not be able to make iron and steel very well." ”

[Note: Coke has been widely used in the Song Dynasty]

Lin Xi said: "There are still two jobs to do, one is tail gas preheating, and the other is bellows to blow oxygen, you can make a larger bellows first, increase the speed of the air, then the coke will burn faster,"

Lin Xi actually thought about the production of water and gas, if the gas was directly burned and smelted, the quality of the steel would be easier to control, but there was nothing at hand, and I am afraid that there would be nothing that could be done in the short term.

The blacksmith thought again and again, and said earnestly to Lin Xi: "Venerable Master, let's make fried steel, that, I have a bigger grasp." ”

Lin Xi said: "Okay then, you have the final say." It's important to get it out first now. ”

......

Master Wei Jie suddenly said: "General, are we off topic, what we just said is how to defend, and then how to transport goods." ”

Mi Sanmei said: "Master Weijie, this is where our Venerable Master is powerful, if there is any difficulty, he can only create the mechanism of the artifact." ”

Wei Jie seemed to understand: "In this case, Master, do we have a powerful communication mechanism, and if so, it is a weapon for multiplying combat power." ”

Lin Xi said: "Yes, we have already manufactured the wire, if there is a material, you can put it far away." In addition, you can make charcoal microphones and dynamic speakers, so you can talk far away. ”

Rao Judao: "The Venerable Master, I have what I have gained, I will go down immediately, the Venerable Master lightly sent a strong army, and made peace with Jiang Lifu on the shore alone, let him lead the others, the people sent by Xuanyi, to ride fast horses and go to the Eagle's Beak Rock."

Let Jiang Lifu arrange for people to line up, and the ants will move and move all the things. ”

Master Wei Jie said: "Not only that, we can extend it further and move the things in the original camp to Eagle's Beak Rock. ”

When everyone heard this, they were enlightened.

Master Wei Jie said to Lin Xi, "Venerable Master, set up a dock base camp here, as well as an eagle's beak rock base. As long as we have the ability to completely kill the pseudo-Song even a little, maybe in a few days, this cliff mountain is the burial place of the pseudo-Yuan. ”
