Chapter 114: Refuge, a way out, a test cannon
"Little Ling Zhen, meet Lin Wujie, the head of the sect. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Lin Chong was slightly stunned, and then he remembered that Ling Zhen was a deputy gunner of the armor storehouse, such an excellent professional who was good at gunpowder and trebuchets, and he actually forgot about him.
But this is not to blame Lin Chong, he himself is a more professional and powerful talent than Ling Zhen, and he is naturally not so eager for Ling Zhen.
However, now that Ling Zhen took the initiative to find himself, Lin Chong did not intend to let it go easily.
After all, his time is effective, and after Ling Zhen goes up the mountain, he can be responsible for the gunpowder and trebuchet in the future.
"It turned out to be the thunder Ling Zhen, my first gunner in the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know what Brother Ling is looking for?" Lin Chong said with a smile.
"The head of the Lin Du sect actually knows me?"
Ling Zhen was taken aback, although the two of them were both the Great Song Capital Gate Control Army, it was the first time they had met.
Besides, Lin Chong is now in a high position, and he is still a big celebrity around the official family, so he can say his nickname at once, and praise him for being the first gunner of the Great Song Dynasty, Ling Zhen was overjoyed.
"How can you not know, when I was still a little head of the palace marshal's mansion, I heard the name of the thunder, and they all said that you are not only good at using artillery, but also skilled in martial arts, and skilled in bows and horses.
To tell you the truth, I have had a heart-to-heart relationship for a long time, but it is not easy to be presumptuous to disturb without anyone to introduce me. ”
Lin Chong's face was not red and his heart was not beating and he was talking nonsense, in fact, he took advantage of the traverser, and it turned out that Lin Chong really didn't know or know this Ling Zhen.
Ling Zhen was immediately overjoyed, he came to Lin Chong this time, in fact, he wanted to follow Lin Chong to Kansai to fight the Western thieves and kill the thieves to make meritorious contributions.
Originally, he was worried that Lin Chong would not pay attention to him, but he didn't know that this was the case, so his future was settled.
Ling Zhen excitedly said his intention, he thought that Lin Chong would agree immediately, but he didn't expect Lin Chong to frown slightly and said, "If you want to go to Guanxi to kill the Western thief and make meritorious service, why don't you go to the person who is the prime minister, but come to me instead?"
You must know that I have offended the people of the Prime Minister's faction now, and I don't know how to be excluded when I get to Kansai, if you follow me, aren't you afraid of following the wrong person? ”
Lin Chong had already remembered Ling Zhen's deeds, and in the original story, Hu Yanzhuo's attack on Liangshan was frustrated, so he wrote to Gao Yu to ask Ling Zhen to help.
Ling Zhenfang went to the periphery of Liangshan, but as soon as he released three cannons, he was lured into the water by Wu Yong's trick of luring the enemy, and was captured alive by Ruan Xiaoer in the water.
And the reason why Ling Zhen was so easy to be fooled was that he wanted to make meritorious service too much, and it was not enough to seize the ship, so he wanted to kill the shore with a thousand soldiers, which was why Wu Yongdao was used.
And after he went up the mountain, it was also because Peng Xi, the deputy general of Hu Yanzhuo who had surrendered before, persuaded that "the two leaders of Chao and Song are specially recruited to contribute to the country", Ling Zhen agreed to go up the mountain.
It can be seen that this Ling Zhen is still unwilling to join the green forest to be a bandit.
Ling Zhen's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he said: "Don't hide it from the head of the sect, the little one actually wants to go over to find the person who is the prime minister, and there is no way to enter; And ......"
"And what?"
"And the little one also hated Captain Gao, and Captain Gao has a lot to do with the cardinal."
Lin Chong suddenly became interested: "How could you have sinned Captain Gao?" ”
Ling Zhen said bluntly: "It's because King Engong entered the head of the king's sect, and the little martial arts are actually thanks to the head of the king of Engong, and later the prince was ......."
Lin Chong understood at once, Gao Yu was a cautious person, Wang Jin offended him, Ling Zhen was Wang Jin's apprentice without a name, and now that Wang Jin ran away, Ling Zhen must have been angered and put on small shoes.
Otherwise, Ling Zhen is known as the first gunner of the Great Song Dynasty, but he is just an ordinary gunner, and he is also a deputy gunner.
"Got it, you don't have to say it."
Lin Chong looked at him and said: "I won't hide it from you, if you come to vote for me, I will be reused, and the treatment will be generous, and I will definitely ensure that you have a good way out, and I will definitely let you play your strengths."
It's just that I'm here to ask you, if you follow me, maybe the way I take you will be completely different from what you think, are you still willing to follow me? ”
Ling Zhen hurriedly replied: "Lin Du Sect Leader is so elevated to the small one, the small one's blood will be sold to Enxiang, and in the future, he will follow the Du Sect Head in the water, and there is no ambiguity in the fire."
The small sentences come from the bottom of their hearts, if there are two hearts, the little ones will be miserable and die under the sword and arrow! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Zhen immediately bowed his head.
Lin Chong hurriedly helped him up, thinking that it was indeed the death of the person who was a confidant, and the goods were sold to the family.
I just showed him the meaning of appreciation and reuse, and the other party swore so fiercely to follow him for the rest of his life.
However, there is another reason, that is, Ling Zhen was suppressed and had no way out, no way to rise, and now Lin Chong said that he had a good way out, and Ling Zhen was a person with a strong sense of merit, so he was naturally grateful.
I just hope that after he goes to Liangshan, he can really follow him like he just said, and swear to follow him in the water and fire, without two hearts.
Lin Chong immediately took out two large gold ingots of ten taels from his body and gave them to Ling Zhen, and said, "In this case, then you will follow me in the future, as long as you live up to me, I will not live up to you;
It's just that I'm leaving, at least for a few years, I know that you have an old mother and wife, and you have to go with you when the time comes. ”
Ling Zhen didn't doubt him, and went overjoyed, Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen also returned to the barracks with a hundred students with the Divine Arm Bow and continued to train.
Time passed quickly, and Lin Chong was busy training backbones, building weapons, and hoarding all kinds of materials;
Although the Great Song Dynasty was extremely inefficient, after experiencing the incident of picking off King Xiaoliang and King Xiaojin, and Zhao Ji being attacked and Emperor Maode being kidnapped, the entire court slowly began to operate, preparing for the destruction of Western Xia in one fell swoop.
Taixue Huan Yi quickly gained the trust of Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng, and the drawings of the Pingxi Thief Strategy and the Shenwei Invincible Thunderbolt Cannon and the Invincible Chariot Array he presented were also quickly presented to Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji was overjoyed, and when he heard that Huan Yi was participating in the Autumn Festival, he immediately appointed Huan Yi as the third place in the palace examination after reading his article; At the same time, he also ordered the Ordnance Superintendent and the Metropolitan Armament Institute to step up the construction of two types of ordnance.
Today is the day when the Divine Might's Invincible Thunderbolt Cannon is built to test its power.
I heard that the effect was very amazing when I tried it before, and Zhao Ji, the Daojun Emperor who was full of interest, came to visit the test in person.
The test range was selected in a deserted military camp northwest of Bianjing City, which had a strong watchtower that could be used as a target.
"Such a big thunderbolt can fire twenty pounds of stone projectiles, with a range of more than 300 steps, it really only needs four people to operate, and the launch speed is faster than that of more than 200 people?"
When he saw the largest Shenwei Invincible Thunderbolt Cannon with a counterweight of two thousand catties, Zhao Ji's jaw was about to fall in shock, he really couldn't believe that such a large trebuchet could be operated by only four people, and the launch speed was so fast.
"Official, the minister is not joking, you can see it later."
Wang Hao, who was in charge of this matter, said proudly, and then he shouted: "Let's start." ”
Twelve gunners of three Mighty Thunderbolt guns and two hundred gunners of an old-fashioned six-pole manpower trebuchet began to operate together.
