Chapter 139: The Envoy of the Cheshi Country
Li Danghu took his ring head knife and stood opposite Yan Ming. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Yanming's name, he has long heard his father Li Guang say. Li Guang spoke highly of Yan Ming. Li Danghu doesn't think so. He just thinks that the little emperor likes to use small courtiers. Maybe Yan Ming really has some talent, but it is not as exaggerated as Li Guang said.
Li Danghu couldn't understand that a single child could do so many things. Also the whole Hongyan Hall. Li Guang said that he wanted to send Li Ling to Hongyan Hall to study, but Li Danghu categorically refused.
The people of the Li family, whether they have a sleek temperament or a straight face, have a sour and arrogant energy. This proves that Li Danghu is indeed Li Guang's biological son.
"Yan Hou, my ring head knife is made of refined iron in the Western Regions, it is different from the ordinary ring head knife, Hou Ye should be careful!" Li Danghu reminded.
Yan Ming nodded, lifted the Yan knife built by the elder Chen, held the handle of the knife with both hands, played a few knife flowers, felt the whirring knife wind, and then nodded and said: "This knife was designed by me, and I don't know how sharp it is." Now please give us a try! ”
Li Danghu also raised the ring head knife, and the two of them charged their strength, wielded it, and the sword light turned into two matches, and directly collided together. There was a dinging sound.
Li Danghu only felt that the ring-headed knife in his hand suddenly lightened, and Yan Ming's Yan knife was already across his neck. Looking at the ring head knife again, it has been cut from broken to two. From the point of falling, the incision is neat, as if the tofu has been cut with a knife.
"I'll see!" Although Li Danghu cherishes the ring head sword, he is a military general. I yearn for higher quality knives the most. Throwing the half-cut ring head knife in his hand on the ground, he held the back of the swallow knife with his hand, but his eyes carefully looked for a gap in the swallow knife.
But no matter how hard he tried to find the swallow knife, the blades were all bright and bright, and there was no gap at all.
"Treasure Knife, this is definitely a Treasure Knife. Such a knife is only qualified for use by His Majesty the Emperor! Li Danghu stroked the knife with both hands, as if caressing his most beloved girl, and muttered to himself.
"Are these three knives all made by one process?" Yan Ming asked.
Ma Wu and Yao Qi immediately stepped forward and replied with their fists clenched: "They are all made according to the orders of the Hou Ye. Although it is time-consuming and laborious. But if we gather all the blacksmiths in our blacksmith camp and build hundreds of them before fifteen, it will not be difficult. ”
Li Danghu on the side heard this, and his eyes almost didn't fall out. According to his thoughts, it is already a miracle in the world that this medium-quality treasure knife can have three handles. But listening to what the blacksmith said, he was able to produce hundreds of handles in ten days.
If the army is equipped with this kind of sword, it will definitely have a great advantage in the face of the enemy on the battlefield. It is no longer difficult to make meritorious contributions.
"Yanhou, this knife?" Li Danghu wanted to speak and stopped.
Yan Ming looked at the ring head knife on the ground and said with a smile: "The general cuts love to try the knife for us, so naturally he has to repay the general." Among these three knives, the general can choose one. ”
Hearing this, Li Danghu's eyes really burst out. He never dreamed that such a treasure knife, Yan Ming would give it away, it seems that if he creates a hundred good knives, it is not a lie.
Yan Ping picked up the ring-headed knife on the ground, threw it to the elder Chen, and said, "Try the other two knives." ”
Ma Wu and Yao Qi each held their own Yan knives and tried knives with Elder Chen. Without exception, the swallow knife can always easily cut off the ring head knife.
"Lao Fan, now find someone who knows how to write down the paperwork in the Iron Village, and let the elder Chen tell them the process of making knives and write them down. The more detailed, the better. These things have to form a system. Yan Ming said.
Lao Fan didn't expect that after a lifetime in the Iron Smelting Village, he would be able to produce such a high-quality knife in person. He immediately agreed.
Yan Ming asked the elder Chen to wrap the three Yan knives in a scabbard made of cowhide, and one of them was pulled out and given directly to Li Danghu.
Li Danghu was grateful, and he didn't know what to say, and he didn't have a trace of contempt for Yan Ming in his heart. Only now did he really feel that the small county marquis in front of him still had some ability.
took the Yan knife, Li Danghu immediately went to the army to show how many soldiers tried the knife with him, and broke his ring head knife, which is unknown.
For the remaining two knives, Yan Ming asked Chengxin to wrap them in red silk again, bring a hundred cavalry from the Jianzhang battalion, and immediately send them to Weiyang Palace.
I heard that I was going to Weiyang Palace to deliver something again, so I agreed with my heart full of words. The iron tire that was just sent to Weiyang Palace has been rewarded a lot by the emperor. Now send this treasure knife to Weiyang Palace, and the reward is afraid that it will be more.
"Go now, go back quickly." Yan Ming only had four words to advise.
Chengxin nodded, feeling that it was cool to do something with a master like Yan Ming.
There are no impermeable walls in the world!
The reason for the coming of Jianzhang Camp outside was spread in the smelting village in just one afternoon after Chengxin left. It made the hearts of some craftsmen begin to be unstable.
They couldn't understand why the refining of the original tire of fine iron was originally a great achievement, so there was an army to take care of it. It's as if everyone is a criminal.
Yan Ming couldn't explain this situation. Some things get darker and darker the more they are smeared.
"Old Fan, you go find Zhang San'er to come over." Yanming's manpower pile driver has been designed and formed. It takes a craftsman like Zhang San who is good at fine work to carve out the parts that are needed.
"How could we not have thought of such a simple method?" Zhang San patted his head in amazement when he saw the drawings in Yan Ming's hand.
The manpower piledriver is simple. A disc is connected to a handle with a disc connected to a drive shaft, which is connected to a cam and a cam is connected to a lever...... As the disc rotates, the cam will move the lever and drive the mounted sledgehammer to smash down one by one.
Because of the use of a large proportion of the torque of the labor-saving lever, even an underage child can also shake the disc and operate the pile driver.
This kind of design, although it is a simple mechanical principle, is already a shocking existence in this era.
"It's up to you to call all the blacksmiths, divide them into groups, and each person is responsible for the creation of one part according to the strict size. Tomorrow morning, I'm going to see all the parts installed. Yan Ming said.
"Where's the stirrups?" Zhang San asked.
"The stirrups can be slow, this is the main thing." Yan Ming said categorically.
The so-called sharpening knife does not mistakenly chop wood, and the assembly process of the manpower pile driver is not very difficult, and it is a simple machine. Starting now, by tomorrow morning, it can be done completely.
Once completed, the speed of striking iron will be greatly improved. The mass production of swallow knives will no longer be difficult.
"Yan Hou!" Li Danghu, who went out, turned back.
"How?" Yan Ming had just finished arranging the manpower pile driver, and the sleepiness of the night hit him, and he was about to rest for a while.
Li Danghu was in a hurry, with the swallow knife he had just gotten in his hand hanging from his waist, but his face was a little anxious: "Master Hou, just now our sentinel found a group of envoys from the Cheshi Kingdom five miles away. Originally, it was nothing, but we couldn't get used to seeing this group of people flaunting their might, so we stopped them. His Majesty said that within five miles of the iron smelting village, there can be no idle people. Otherwise, there will be no mercy. Isn't it going to kill them. ”
Yan Ming frowned slightly, the Cheshi country is in the west of the Han Dynasty, and it is a small country close to the Han Dynasty. Further west is the kingdom of Wusun. These small countries and tribes are like grass on the wall, sometimes dependent on the Xiongnu, and sometimes submissive to the Han. Sending a messenger is not a big deal. If you kill it according to what Li Danghu said, I am afraid it will have a bad impact on the Han.
"Let them go. Keep a close watch on the covers. Yan Ming said, and went back to the house to sleep in a huff.
To receive foreign envoys, there are naturally special officials. As long as Yan Ming ensures that this group of people from the Cheshi Country do not come to Smelting Iron Village to hunt for curiosities, forget it.
Now, sleeping is the most important thing in his life, not to mention that there is a newlywed wife Tian Xi in the room......
