"Xiangye, dare to ask who this gentleman is?" Seeing that Mu Baichuan, the right minister of the imperial court, brought a person, Lu Chuanlin, the squire of the military department, asked.

Mu Baichuan took out a musket and replied briefly, "This is the person who can save Jinyang." ”

In this way, Lu Chuanlin was interested, took out the musket, and looked at it carefully.

"Chuanlin, you now gather all the craftsmen in charge of firearms manufacturing in the military department, now that He Nuo's army is attacking, the power is strong, we must resume firearms production, otherwise there is no possibility of victory."

Lu Chuanlin had a question in his heart, a little hesitant, and he didn't know whether to ask it.

Mu Baichuan is a human spirit, of course, he can see it at a glance, and he waved his hand: "If Chuan Lin has something to say, between us, there is no need to be like this." ”

Lu Chuanlin said: "Wei Xiangye wants to save Jinyang through the power of Fan Luo, and Mu Xiangye's move seems to be contrary to Wei Xiangye. ”

Mu Baichuan said: "You can say such a thing, it is indeed the words of the old city to seek the country." To be honest, I know the power of Brahman, deeper than anyone else, it is too terrible power, if you don't get it right, you will set yourself on fire. Even if He Nuo is defeated, if he is controlled by Van Luo, then Jinyang will never have peace. ”

Looking at Lu Chuanlin's expression, Mu Baichuan knew that Lu Chuanlin still had something to say, and said angrily: "The dignified soldier is so stubborn. ”

Lu Chuanlin smiled heartily and no longer hesitated: "I heard that Mu Xiangye's granddaughter and He Nuo have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, if Jinyang City is captured, no one will have a way out, only Mu Xiangye will have a way out." He Nuo will definitely treat Xiangye like a guest, and his status is only higher. Why is Xiangye still so painstaking and working for the Jinyang Dynasty? ”

Mu Baichuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "To be honest, I haven't thought about this joint. He Nuo, this child, I watched him grow up, his nature is not bad, but these have developed too strongly, and there are some things that he can't help himself. Let's take it one step at a time! ”

At this point, Mu Baichuan seemed to be talking to himself, and his voice was very small, but every word, Lu Chuanlin heard it clearly: "If there is really such a day, He Nuo is the bloodline of the Jinyang Dynasty after all, and I will do my best to assist." But now, each is his master, if Mu is not satisfied, won't he become a half-hearted person? ”

Lu Chuanlin nodded convincingly: "Mu Xiangjia." ”

Mu Baichuan waved his hand and said: "He is a famous firearms craftsman, his name is Chen Jian, you can rest assured to hand over the firearms bureau to him, let him go and see, and make 10,000 firearms for us, with them, it is equivalent to one more million male soldiers for us!" ”

Lu Chuanlin nodded.

Heyang City, the palace of the king of Jin.

With the army outside, He Nuo has plenty of time to calmly arrange and arrange, and the first thing he has to do is to recruit talents again; The second thing he had to do was to build up various assault guards and improve his weapons to deal with all kinds of unexpected battles.

At this time, a Taoist priest wearing a purple yang scarf and gossip clothes stood beside He Nuo. The man had a crane on his back and a turtle's back, phoenix eyes and eyebrows, a ruddy complexion, and an elegant demeanor. He is He Nuo's brother, and he is also the master of Qimen Dunjia, Ruan Xinfang, who can easily use all kinds of weapons.

He Nuo asked him to teach himself the use of various weapons, and the soldiers selected the best to improve the types of troops.

Ruan Xinfang got straight to the point, "Nowadays, all kinds of weapons emerge in an endless stream, and there is a saying of 'eighteen kinds of martial arts', which actually refers to eighteen kinds of weapons. Generally, it refers to bows, crossbows, guns, sticks, knives, swords, spears, shields, axes, halberds, halberds, whips, maces, hammers, forks, palladium, and ge. But in fact, the world is all-encompassing, and there are only eighteen kinds of weapons? ”

He Nuo nodded: "I have seen more than eighteen kinds of weapons, and if you add all kinds of Qimen weapons and all kinds of hidden weapons, the total number of them is probably not less than a hundred." ”

Ruan Xinfang nodded: "King Jin is right." ”

Ruan Xinfang continued: "The so-called short weapon refers to a weapon whose length generally does not exceed the eyebrow of ordinary people, the weight is relatively light, and it is often held with one hand when used. The most common short weapons are knives and swords. The most common types of long weapons are guns, clubs, and broadswords. Rope striking hidden weapons include rope darts, meteor hammers, wolf tooth hammers, dragon whisker hooks, flying claws, soft whips, brocade lassoes, iron lotus, etc. ”

All kinds of complex knowledge, Ruan Xinfang talked eloquently, He Nuo looked at it, and felt that he had a detached temperament and was a capable person.

Of course, He Nuo would not miss such a good learning opportunity, and asked: "The hidden weapons I know are darts, hidden arrows, etc., can Xin Fang explain one or two to me?" ”

Ruan Xinfang is like a treasure: "The so-called "hidden weapon" refers to the kind of weapon that is convenient for carrying out surprise attacks in the dark. Most of the hidden weapons are created by those people in the martial arts, they are small in size, light in weight, easy to carry, most of them have sharp blades, can be thrown more than ten meters or even dozens of meters away, fast speed, strong concealment, equal to the large extension of conventional blades, with great power. On the battlefield where thousands of troops are fighting, it is difficult for hidden weapons to play a role, so there are few ancient generals who practice hidden weapons. But in martial arts, one-on-one fights are emphasized, and the distance between the two sides is very close, so hidden weapons come in handy. ”

Ruan Xinfang really came prepared, speaking of this, he first took out a note and handed it to He Nuo, He Nuo opened it, and saw that it was written in neat fonts:

Hidden weapons can be divided into four categories: hand throwing, rope strike, machine shooting, and spraying, and each category includes several types.

Hand-throwing hidden weapons include javelins, money darts, darts, throwing arrows, flying forks, flying cymbals, flying thorns, flying swords, flying knives, flying locust stones, pebbles, iron olives, wishful beads, Qiankun circles, iron mandarin ducks, iron toads, plum blossom needles, dart knives, etc.

Rope striking hidden weapons include rope darts, meteor hammers, wolf tooth hammers, dragon whisker hooks, flying claws, soft whips, brocade lassoes, iron lotus, etc.

Machine-launched hidden weapons include sleeve arrows, slingshots, crossbow arrows, close-back flower crossbows, stepping crossbows, thunder drills, etc.

Spraying concealed tools include sleeve cannons, spray cans, beak guns, etc.

There are also some hidden weapons that are difficult to fall into the above four categories, such as blow arrows, finger swords, steel rings, hand helmets, daggers, hand cones, etc.

He Nuo looked at it carefully, but he didn't expect that the small hidden weapon would be so exquisite. He said in a deep voice: "Xin Fang, I will order you to form a hidden weapon battalion, and use the hidden weapon battalion as a sharp sword for us, and take the enemy by surprise on the battlefield." Did you listen well? ”

Ruan Xinfang nodded and said, "King Jin is wise, I also have this intention." It's just"

He Nuo asked, "Do you have anything to think about?" ”

Ruan Xinfang said: "There are too many complicated things in the DPRK and China now, and I want to go deep into the mountains to train my troops. In less than half a year, I want to train a hidden weapon battalion for King Jin. ”

He Nuo smiled, "Entering the deep mountains for military training? Xinfang is always like this, and he is willing to tell us only if he wants to do some big things. I guess you have another purpose, right? ”
