Chapter 118: Zilongzi Zilong, Zi Long, Wu Shuang—5

"Zhao Yun?" For Zhang Xiu, this is obviously an unfamiliar name. Will he really be able to stop the conspiracy of the sandalwood locust? You must know that there are 6,000 Xianbei cavalry in the south.

This is deadly enough for Hanyang-gun, which is empty in defense. If this stranger named Zhao Yun didn't have a good enough way to stop them, then ......

At this moment, Zhao Yun didn't know what kind of challenges he would face. For him right now, the tougher opponent may be a left arm injury.

He had never suffered such a serious injury in more than 20 years. According to Dr. Hua Tuo, who treated him, the arrowhead he took out was enough to weigh two catties. If it weren't for the miraculous effect of the hemp boiling, I'm afraid the pain alone would have been enough to kill him for half his life.

For this reason, he was also glad for a long time, thinking to himself, such an injury can still save his left forearm, it can be seen that the lord he follows, there is no shortage of all kinds of strange people under the account, from this point of view, it can be seen that his lord is a respected person in many fields.

During this time of recuperation, he also learned more about this. Since the recovery from trauma requires gradually increasing the amount of exercise, but he cannot participate in strenuous activities, Zhao Yun chose to play around to relax his body and mind, and by the way, he can slowly return his body to its former state.

In this process, Suning's various industries have become its important tourist targets.

The array of waterwheels by the Weishui River is where he passes every morning jog. And the end of his morning run is the newly established glass workshop. Abel and Zeiss did not work well, mainly due to a lack of suitable craftsmen. Although the craftsmen provided by the system can give them the necessary help, these people are the indispensable technical pillars of each workshop, and if they want to help here for a long time, they will inevitably be opposed by the workshops that already have the production capacity. So they can only recruit local artisans and train them from the most basic skills.

In this way, their production cycle was dragged out a lot, and well, when the technology they mastered was enough to form, and there was a guy named Archimedes, who brought them the ancient recipe they desperately needed, so that they could revisit the history of glass development, from the glaze of ancient Egypt and Rome, to the fern glass of the European Middle Ages, and then to the introduction of manganese dioxide to increase the transparency of glass in the process of modern industrialization. can appear step by step on the land of Liangzhou in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

All they need now is time. According to the latest situation that Zhao Yun knew, they were already able to make a mirror with a huge area.

Zhao Yun had once visited the kind of huge mirror that was the height of a person, but was as wide as three people. It is said that there is also the credit of Agricola and others, who discovered a staggering amount of silver in the territory of Wuwei County, and since then they have been one of the important raw materials for the silver mirror reaction.

Zhao Yun knew very little about chemistry, but he always felt that there was a mysterious existence similar to alchemy. Therefore, in his spare time, he will often ask those experts such questions.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, chemists like Arrhenius lived mainly to teach the local aborigines advanced scientific production knowledge. For the time being, his research results can only be disseminated among students in a theoretical way, and at present they cannot be of great help to industrial production. In fact, at present, the company can only partially prepare basic chemicals such as triacids and two alkalis in the laboratory, and cannot carry out large-scale industrial mass production. Further development of chemistry requires greater progress in the production process of glassware in order to complete some more complex production preparations. Therefore, their support for Abbe and others is also very large.

Therefore, when they need some raw materials, the chemical port will spare no effort to provide them with them, and even a lot of things that are connected to the chemical port help them complete.

Between coming and going, Zhao Yun, who always appeared in the glass workshop, mingled with these chemical experts. From them, Zhao Yun learned that the knowledge mastered by these people was far more magical than that of those alchemists. Acids and alkalis can be used to make more amazing chemicals, including fertilizers that farmers can use, as well as explosives that soldiers can use on the battlefield.

Zhao Yun didn't have any personal knowledge of the strange name of bitter acid, but through the description of Arrhenius and others, he vaguely felt that maybe it would be something more powerful than his marksmanship.

It's just that it's going to be a long way to get them into this world. On the contrary, the diatomaceous earth explosives that Nobel was more familiar with may have appeared on the land of Liangzhou earlier.

After Zhao Yun knew this, he instinctively wanted to get this kind of magic weapon, so he kept begging Arrhenius, who was Nobel's Swedish compatriot and had a deeper understanding of Nobel's inventions, so he reluctantly helped Zhao Yun make some. However, he knew very well that this explosive was not stable, and when he handed it over to Zhao Yun, he had repeatedly emphasized that this kind of thing could not be carried often, otherwise as long as there was a loud noise, he Zhao would only have to turn into powder.

Zhao Yun was convinced of his words, so he put this thing in moisture-proof kraft paper and stored it in his home seriously.

His family background came to Liangzhou and found a random house. Since he didn't have much money at that time, he had to find a dilapidated courtyard outside the city and come down first. Fortunately, it is relatively close to Wolf Castle and Sheep Village, so you can take care of each other.

It's just that it's a bit far from the medical center. He had to walk a long way every time he went to change his dressing. However, he is physically fit and healthy, and this can also be part of his daily morning workout.

Speaking of morning exercises, he still learned from those students. Among the students studying in the Chonghua family, many of them are not children from the city, and those rich and powerful people can't look down on the Suning Ancient Road. They are more willing to hire Xixi and teachers who specialize in Confucianism to educate their children, and as for those who write and calculate and weave mats and sell shoes, even if they are interesting, they will not allow their children to be contaminated.

Therefore, the children of the peasant family became the main force of the flower planter. Except for a few people such as Ma Chao, who ride to school, most of them walk on foot.

It just so happened that many of them would walk by Zhao Yun's door, so Zhao Yun, who was going to the city medicine hall, would walk with them from time to time, and over time he learned a lot of interesting things from the children.

In order to relieve the children from walking long distances to school, Suning has repeatedly pointed out the benefits of morning exercise in class. Children often have a show-off mentality about the fresh knowledge they have mastered, so this matter reached Zhao Yun's ears, and Zhao Yun also slowly embarked on the morning exercise fitness apprentice from that time, and his relationship with the children gradually became familiar.

Later, because the children's journey was indeed too far away, and Liangzhou was not a stable place, Zhao Yun simply took the initiative to take the responsibility of escorting the children. He would get up early every day, go from house to house to call the children out, and finally gather into a marching force of nearly 100 people. Then they lined up in a strict procession according to the rules of the army, and marched towards their beloved school.

The children living in Liangzhou will practice some family martial arts since they were young, otherwise there is simply no room for survival in this land where fighting is rampant. After Suning's education system appeared on the land of Liangzhou, the concept of national defense education has attracted more and more people's attention, and even this group of seven or eight-year-old children are required to practice various fighting techniques and basic tactics in school. Some of the concepts and skills they have mastered even exceed Zhao Yun's understanding. After all, General Arnold would also walk around the school from time to time to teach some things from the US Army to the children, after all, he was not a systematically trained educator, so he didn't care too much about whether the children were of the right age to take over these avant-garde concepts.

At first, Suning was still trying to dissuade him, but later, he slowly realized that a young army with oriental technology and tactics but a taste of Western military culture was slowly taking shape in front of his eyes.

He liked this, so he dismissed the idea of persuading General Arnold.

However, he obviously would not have thought that these fresh concepts would be spread to the ears of a generation of famous generals Zhao Yun through the children's descriptions.

Zhao Yun is Suning's most powerful general, and he also has 500 soldiers and horses for him to command. Although he only took time to walk around the barracks in the afternoon on weekdays, since he heard about those advanced military concepts, he used these new methods to train those veterans from time to time.

The veterans will naturally try their best to resist, so the results of Zhao Yun's training are sometimes not as good as those of children with simple nature. This also made him realize the value of the Boy Army.

Later, Zhao Yun thought of a way, and simply used the children as a flaunt, constantly sarcastically mocking those veteran oilers who were not even as good as the children, now those veterans couldn't stand it, they were all people who had experienced several battles, how could they not compare to a group of raw melons and eggs?

So this army finally has a little shape. Although the main general was still recuperating from his injuries, he missed the battle in the local county, but this army was in Liangzhou, but it was a combat force that could be ranked first.

Zhao Yun's life of recuperation was spent in this kind of fulfilling days.

The golden sunlight of autumn spreads on the land of Hanyang-gun, making the already full wheat fields even more fruitful. Zhao Yun led the children through the path between them, and happily looked at the busy farmers in the farmland, harvesting their hard work and sweat.

However, things soon took an unforeseen turn. A Han army that lost its armor suddenly came from the northwest wolf. As soon as Zhao Yun saw their embarrassed appearance, he knew that something very bad had happened over there.

The surrounding peasants also quickly stopped what they were doing, and the sensitivity to war and bloodshed in Liangzhou was far from being comparable to that of the inhabitants of the interior.

Even the children around Zhao Yun looked nervously at the big brother beside them. The military training these days has given these little guys an urge to try, but Zhao Yun will not allow a child of seven or eight years old to step on the battlefield, even if he is talented, he is not an adult opponent when he is not yet ten years old.

So he made the first choice, which was to lead the children into the city urgently. He wasn't even in the mood to open up why those Han soldiers were so embarrassed, nor was he in the mood to care about the fate of their parents who were still living outside the city, and what fate they would face in the future, he only knew that he had to protect these children around him.

He doesn't care if it's for the company or Suning, and he doesn't care what the children's families think, he just doesn't want to see the children who get along day and night encounter any unacceptable misfortune.

Children don't need a backbone at this time, whether it is the spiritual need that their natural fear brings them to rely on, or the military training they have been exposed to these days, so that they have developed the habit of obeying commands, they will closely follow the footsteps of the big brother in front of them and go to the school they are most familiar with.

In Ji County, Liang Hu had already begun to mobilize troops and horses, maybe he got some news, but Zhao Yun had no interest in paying attention, he just threw out his token casually, and instructed the officers of the Assassin Mansion to transfer their troops to the wolf castle in the south of the city.

From his point of view, Wolfsburg is more important than the county seat, it is not only where Suning's lair is located, but also where the essence of the company is condensed.

As for his own home, there were no precious furnishings there, just an ordinary small farm yard, except for a few wooden tables and chairs that were extremely common in the Han Dynasty, there was nothing of value left.

Wolf Fort and Sheep Village were quickly guarded against by heavy troops. At the same time, the soldiers in the city of Ji County have also stood on the towering city wall. They were always keeping an eye on the changes outside the city gates, because the peasants living in the villages outside the city were now flocking to hide in the city.

This is understandable, but it poses a huge threat to military security, not to mention that there are probably many spies among them, and the city gates that are always open are a huge security risk.

However, their Lord Thorn decisively rejected his subordinates' suggestion to close the city gates. The information he got was only that the Xianbei people had been found in the area around Hanyang County.

He obviously didn't want to rely on a vague piece of information to block the passage of the surrounding people to take refuge in the city. However, his benevolent thoughts were soon met with merciless sarcasm from the heart.
