Chapter 30 The Sandbox Game
After staying in the camp until the old man Wei explained the team of soldiers, Liu Zheng dragged the old man Wei back to the Qingzhou Mansion and arranged tasks for the account offices who temporarily served as the canonical history, checked the accounts, and thoroughly checked the accounts of each room in the past three years, listed all the problems one by one, and then waited for him to come back to solve them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the order was over, he called a few officials to arrange some tasks, and then took Old Man Wei to the outside of the city, found Old Craftsman Xu, and asked Old Craftsman Xu to take him to find those people in Mojia Village, and after some conversation, he took these people from Mojia Village and some blacksmiths back to the camp with Old Man Wei.
At night, Liu Zheng's big tent was brightly lit and crowded, not only these people from Mojia Village, but also the generals under Liu Zheng, Zhou Yun, You Boda, Hu Dongyuan, Qin Haiqing, Zeng Kaiyu, Zuo Yuanfeng, Xu Wenxu, Chu Yuanzhong and even Tian Hongda and Pan Feiyue were there.
Liu Zheng did not sit behind the handsome case, but surrounded by everyone in front of the sand table in Qingzhou City, he was slowly explaining the play of the sand table to everyone, at this time, the sand table is not only the landform, buildings, vegetation, but also some villains, some of these villains ride horses, some carry flags, some hold swords, guns, swords, halberds, of course, these villains are also divided into red and blue colors.
“…… What about these villains, a villain represents a thousand soldiers, a villain on horseback represents five hundred cavalry, as for the urgent work of the engineering equipment that has not yet come, it will be added to you later, the rules are like this, tonight, Mr. Wei will play with everyone first, this sand table is so big, there are a lot of places to play! ”
Liu Zheng's voice fell, the eyes of this stick are all bright and bright, especially Zeng Kaiyu's eyes are as bright as light bulbs, there is still such a game?
Military strategy games, why are they so popular in later generations? Not every man has a dream of Zhuge Liang, and isn't every man unable to resist the thrill of attacking the city?
Even the most humble Yu Boda was itching in his heart, so he grabbed Old Man Wei's arm and said: "Old man, old man, hurry up, you demonstrate to you first, and then you tell the rules to the old man, remember just now!" ”
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Okay, old man, you accompany them to play here, in this way, Lao Zeng, you and Old Man Wei have a game first, so that these fools can enjoy themselves first, and I, go to the side to chat with a few brothers of the Mo family!" ”
You Boda couldn't wait, and urged him to hurry up, so Wei Boyuan and Zeng Kaiyu set up a horse cannon to play on this sand table and started an attack and killing battle.
Liu Zheng took a few descendants of Mojia Village and a few blacksmiths to the handsome tent, pointed to a few pictures he drew on rice paper, and said.
"Presumably you all recognize this thing!"
Can you not recognize? This is Zhuge Repeater, something that has been lost for a long time! Several young people in Mojia Village had round eyes, staring at the decomposed schematic diagram without blinking.
One of the older old men trembled his hands and said, "This thing, this thing, but Zhuge Repeater?" ”
Liu Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, this thing is indeed a Zhuge crossbow, but what I want you to make is not like this!" ”
This picture is painted on the well-known wooden version of the Zhuge repeater, Liu Zheng gently removed this picture, revealing the following picture, and at this time the people of Mojia Village wrinkled their brows.
It was supposed to be a crossbow, but the shape of the rage was so strange that it could only be recorded in any text.
It was indeed a crossbow, but it was one of those well-known crossbows made of stainless steel, like assault rifles, with a scope painted on it, and the body of the gun, oh no, and a revolver hanging from the middle of the crossbow.
"I want you to build a crossbow like this, now we will build it from wood first, and then when our technology keeps up, we will replace the crossbow body with a steel one, you see here, this long cylindrical object is called a scope, you don't know the scope, but his other name, you should have heard of it, he is called a clairvoyant......"
"Claircase?" Everyone in Mojia Village widened their eyes in surprise, and the old man stared at Liu Zheng and said, "General Liu, this, this object only exists with legends, we wait, we wait......"
Liu Zheng waved his hand and said: "I know, you can't make it, but it's okay, if you can't build it now, it doesn't mean that you can't build it in the future, now this object is not installed on the crossbow first, let's continue, you look at the cylinder, this cylinder is actually a wheel, there is a hole in the wheel, and there is a crossbow arrow in each hole, when the soldier finishes shooting, just turn this thing to re-put the crossbow arrow!" See this handle? This handle ...... like this."
Liu Zheng began to gesture: "Push forward, then pull back, these two will reset the crossbow strings!" ”
The old man in Mojia Village was excited, pointed to the drawings and said, "I see, I see, General Liu is really talented!" ”
Liu Zhengxin said that I am a great talent, those talents in later generations are really talented, I just plagiarized them, secretly wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, changed the topic: "Okay, old man, you take a few of your apprentices, take this picture to the side and study it carefully!" ”
The old man took a few juniors to the side to study the drawings as if he were holding a holy decree, and Liu Zheng took out another drawing and talked to a few blacksmiths.
“…… This is the crucible steelmaking method, graphite is needed to build a crucible, and there is this thing in Laishan, the capital of Laizhou, not far from us! But if you want to get it, you'll have to find a few people! ”
Several blacksmiths furrowed their brows, obviously not understanding what Liu Zheng said, and one of them muttered, "What, Liu, Liu ......"
"Zheng, Liu Zheng, my name is Liu Zheng!" Liu Zheng smiled and took the big man's words.
Han scratched his head embarrassedly, and just wanted to open his mouth to call Liu Zheng, but an old blacksmith next to him touched his arm and said, "You have to be called General Liu!" ”
"Oh!" Han Da replied and continued: "What, General Liu, my name is Li Tiehammer, I am a blacksmith, my father never taught me what graphite is, General Liu, can you tell me what graphite is, is it the thing that the talents write?" ”
Liu Zheng also made a difficulty, he only knew a little bit about crucible steelmaking, and he had only seen graphite ore in pictures but had never seen it with his own eyes, and he was not a geology student, so it was very good to know where this stone came from.
He also scratched his head and said: "What, graphite, he is first of all a stone, well, ore, black, sometimes green, sometimes it looks very metallic, ah, the metallic texture is the kind of light that looks like a shining sword, well, secondly, this graphite feels greasy to the touch, and when you finish touching it, your hand is like touching a coal, almost like that!" ”
Li Tiezhu scratched his head again: "What, I, I still don't understand!" ”
Liu Zheng didn't have any tricks, and he didn't know how to explain it, so he had to turn his head to see the reaction of the other blacksmiths, only to find that several other people were also frowning, just when he was about to give up this crucible steelmaking and play a very low-level small earth blast furnace steelmaking, that is, the soil steelmaking method, one of the old blacksmiths spoke.
"General Liu, Xiao Lao'er seems to have seen the kind of stone described by the general, but the stone is not in Laishan, as the general said, but in a river more than seventy miles southeast of Laizhou Mansion, that river is called Xiaogu River, the water in the river is very shallow, there are many stones, Xiao Lao'er is in the Xiaogu River beach saw this stone, I thought it was a baby, and I took it home, but then I inquired for a long time and no one knew, so Xiao Lao'er threw the stone!"
Liu Zheng was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Old man, have you really seen it?" Do you remember where you picked up graphite? ”
The old blacksmith hurriedly saluted and said: "I can't afford to be called the old man of General Liu, the surname of the little old man is Sun, and the cheap name is the stone, General Liu, you can just call me the old grandson, the little old man has indeed seen it, and I also remember the place where you picked up the graphite you said." ”
Liu Zheng hurriedly said: "When you start, when you start, old man Sun, in this way, I will send some people to go to the Xiaogu River you said, and find out if you can find a stone, if you can find it, old man Sun, you are a great achievement!" ”
Just as he was saying this, a burst of earth-shattering cheers suddenly broke out next to him, and then he heard Yu Boda's angry roar: "You poor and sour talent is really full of bad water, you are doing this, you have flooded Qingzhou City, do you still have a conscience?" This city of people is so worthless in your eyes! ”
Zeng Kaiyu snorted and said, "Do you want a conscience? The conscience that the two armies want for the confrontation! If you have a benevolent conscience when you kill the enemy, you might as well wipe your neck now, and save yourself from dragging everyone to save you when the time comes! ”
"You ......"
"Alright, Boda!" Wei Boyuan was swallowed by Zeng Kaiyu by Zeng Kaiyu by taking advantage of the terrain to swallow his three cavalry battalions and four infantry battalions in one go, although he was very depressed, but he also knew that Zeng Kaiyu was not wrong with doing this, after all, the two armies should use all their means to fight, and what injury should not be stored in the hearts of the generals who led the army, in order to protect more people at the critical moment, even the Yellow River can be opened, not to mention that now Zeng Kaiyu is just damming the Zihe River and flooding this city in Qingzhou.
"You must remember, if you lead the troops in the future, you must not have any mercy, to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself, Liu Bei abandoned Xinye, refused to give up the people who followed, when the defeat of the sun Cao Cao killed him almost wiped out the whole army, although there is nothing wrong with doing this, we also admire it, but I also know that it is really stupid to do this, the people are very important, but the lives of the soldiers are equally important!"
Liu Zheng was a little curious, put it down and came to the big sand table, looked at it twice, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Zuo Yuanfeng snorted twice and said: "Lao Zeng just built a dam here and flooded the three cavalry battalions and four infantry battalions of Old Man Wei. ”
Liu Zheng glanced at the location of Old Man Wei's troops, and then looked at Qingzhou City, which was not far away, and said with a smile: "What the old man said is reasonable!" ”
