Chapter Forty-Eight: Mr. Su's Ambition

"Hmm~" Zhu Bayi frowned and groaned in a low voice. He couldn't be sure whether the strategy of Xuzhou's red scarf to the southwest was correct, but it was indeed a big temptation for him to stop looking at Zhao Junyong's face. After all, Zhu Dapeng, who lives in the 21st century, squatted at home and became an otaku because he didn't like to see the boss's face. And Zhu Laofu in the fourteenth century, although life was tormented and insensitive, he also hid the unique untaminess of young people in his bones!

"The subordinates know that the admiral can't let go of the kindness of Manager Li, and the subordinates are not persuading you to break away from the Xuzhou red scarf and stand on your own!" Seeing that Zhu Bayi was a little moved by what he said, Mr. Su took a hard breath and continued to strike while the iron was hot. "But Governor, think about it, can you continue to stay here to help Manager Li, or can you help Manager Li more by going to the other side of the Yellow River to create another piece of the world?! If you stay here, everything is under Zhao Jun's elbow, even if you have great ability, you can't show it. Including the gunpowder and grenades made last time, if it weren't for turning the tide in the war, the entire Xuzhou army, who would take that thing as a treasure?! ”

"Yes, Dudu, Shen Sheng stayed inside and died, and his ears were safe outside. Zhao Changshi is narrow-minded, if you stay in Xuzhou, you will be killed by him sooner or later. It's better to fight across the Yellow River and kill a piece of your own world! At that time, you can build whatever sharp weapons you want, and you can train as much as you want, exactly according to the intention of the son! Why be trapped here and be controlled by others everywhere?! That's all there is to it, please think twice! Yu Changlin bowed down again, and the words of persuasion were extremely loud.

"That's all for the humble words, please think twice!" Mr. Su also took half a step back and asked Zhu Eighty-one to accept his advice with the courtesy of his subordinates.

"This-" For a while, Zhu Eighty-one was never relieved. If you don't want to say that you don't want to, you can't even deceive yourself. Although the relationship between Zhao Junyong and him is not the same, with the continuous growth of the Xuzhou army, the two of them continue to conflict in their work styles and thinking concepts, and sooner or later there will be a day when sparks will collide.

And next time, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as a rhetoric. If it really becomes an armed conflict, even if he can retreat with his whole body, the Xuzhou army will inevitably face a big split, and if it is not done well, it is possible to collapse.

But if he turned around like this, he felt that he was very sorry for Sesame Lee. After all, from the time they first met, Sesame Li knew very well that he was not Maitreya Buddha's physical body in the world at all. But Sesame Li still trusts himself, and tries his best to pull himself into the decision-making circle of Xuzhou Red Scarf, whether it is in terms of official positions, salaries or the allocation of non-commissioned officers, he has never owed anything to him.

Just as he was hesitating, he heard Mr. Su sigh and say loudly: "In the past few days, the Governor has been talking to his subordinates about how the Red Turban Army is too sloppy and needs to be improved. Presumably, the governor kept him by his side, and gave him the right to counsel military affairs, and he also used the idea of 'stones from other mountains' to attack jade. However, the Governor has always had scruples and did not dare to let go! You don't want to give Zhao Jun an excuse to take the opportunity to make trouble, and your subordinates can understand your hardships. But there are now nearly 6,000 brothers in our left army! In order not to give Zhao Jun an excuse to make trouble, you are afraid of everything. When the soldiers of the Mengyuan Imperial Court come over one day, in case the war is unfavorable, doesn't it mean that you will send these 6,000 brothers to the sword of the imperial court?! ”

"Alright, don't say it!" Zhu Eighty-one was suddenly furious, and Tie Qing interrupted with a blue face. "I understand what you two mean, but it's not the right time. Put it for now, and when the time is right, I'll naturally make a decision! ”

After saying that, I didn't want to listen to any advice from the two. Stretching his legs, he strode out of the door and went straight to the river to take the workshop. When Yu Changlin, the commander of the left army, saw it, he inevitably shook his head and sighed, turned his gaze to Mr. Su, and said with great disappointment: "How can you be so indecisive!" Zhegong, I'm afraid you and I are going to rejoice in vain! ”

Unexpectedly, although Mr. Su always sprinkled himself crazy in front of Zhu Baba, he couldn't allow others to say that his proprietor was at all wrong. immediately pricked up his eyes and retorted sharply: "You are a nerd who hasn't even been out of the gate a few times, do you know what it looks like to be a person who has achieved great things?!" Heroes don't have to be ruthless! If just because of a few words from you and me today, he immediately led his troops north, then it would be really a disaster! ”

"Ugh!" Yu Changlin was so choked by him that he couldn't breathe, and almost fainted on the spot. Mr. Su had no sympathy, patted his sleeve, and added in a low voice as he walked out slowly: "This world is already in chaos. If he can be ruthless to Sesame Li today, will he be affectionate and righteous to you and me in the future? In that case, you and I will assist him in achieving the cause of the king, and in the end, I will only end up with the same fate as Zixu and Wengen. What's the busy?! Don't stand stupidly if it's okay, hurry up and take some brothers to the arsenal, order two thousand two-and-a-half-pound iron thunders out, load them and send them to the rear army! I have already agreed with Han Changshi of the rear army about the price, each grenade is exchanged for three buckets of rice, you will be watching from the side when the time comes, don't let them fool with small buckets! (Note 1)

"So you've been able to get food for a long time!" Yu Changlin was so angry that he rolled his eyes, but he had to stand up and bow his hand, "Obey!" ”

"Are you doing your job in vain when I help this one get gunpowder and that trebuchet every day?!" Mr. Su flicked the sleeves of his robe twice, put his hands behind his back, and Shi Shiran paced out of the door, "Since it is thrown with a trebuchet, of course it is the most powerful iron thunder." At present, most of the blacksmiths in Xuzhou City are in the workshops of the left army, well, they want to make iron mines, how can it be convenient to buy them from Lao Tzu?!"

"You old fox!" Yu Changlin couldn't cry or laugh, and he was stupid in the house for a long time, and only then did he exchange iron thunder for food in disgrace under the suspicious eyes of his own soldiers.

Two thousand iron thunders, the number doesn't sound like much. Loaded into the car, it was a whole five cars. The rear army that was transported to Pengda was exchanged for grain, and the scale became more considerable. It took three hours for Yu Changlin to command the auxiliaries to transport it back and carefully put it into storage.

It was past lunchtime, but he didn't feel very hungry. casually poured a few sips of tea soup, took the storage details of the day, and went to Su Changshi to make relevant deliveries.

When I arrived at my destination, the person I was looking for was not in the house. After asking the soldiers on duty in the courtyard, I learned that the old fox had not returned in the morning, and followed the footsteps of the governor to the river to watch the craftsmen strike iron.

"A good governor, a long history, neither the whole army and the martial arts, nor the discussion of military books and war strategies, but one after another to drill into the blacksmith pile, what kind of system is this?!" In the morning, he was dragged by Su Changshi to be the head of the gun, and at this moment, he heard that the other party was not doing his job, Yu Changlin immediately felt that the future was dark, and he raised his foot and chased after the river.

Before I reached the gate of the courtyard, I saw a large number of people in Wuyang and Wuyang, surrounded by two tall waterwheels, cheering and jumping in the distance. When they got a little closer, they could tell that one of the waterwheels was carrying a water hammer that the Governor had spent two ingots of gold to make, and was slowly smashing the iron one after the other. Every time it rises and falls, it will attract loud cheers from the people around you.

The second waterwheel, a replica of the first, is actually erected on the other side of the river, opposite the water hammer. With several large and small bronze gears with leather strings and drill bits, holes are being punched in a white and shiny iron plate. The iron plate looks like it is made of tofu, and every time it is placed under the drill bit, it is immediately inserted to the end!

"Using a water wheel to drive the hammer and drill bit also saves a lot of effort on the part of the craftsmen!" Although he was dissatisfied with Zhu Bayi and Su Mingzhe's lack of business, Yu Changlin was still moved by the strange scene he saw in front of him, and muttered to himself in his heart.

Just as he was sighing, he suddenly heard Zhu Eighty-one's unique loud voice shouting under the water hammer, "Is it drilled, send it over immediately after drilling, don't grind!" ”

"Alas, drill it, drill it! Here you go! Huang Lao, the head of the workshop, jumped on the other side of the river and jumped on his feet, and then jumped into the boat with two white and shiny iron plates, and rowed back to this side of the river bank three times and two times.

"Quick, Lao Huang, you connect the iron armor with leather wire, and then see what it looks like! Lao Su, you take them to continue fighting, take advantage of the dawn, and play a few more sets! Zhu Eighty-one personally stepped forward and helped Huang Lao Crooked off the boat, and then commanded loudly like a foreman.

"Alas!" Huang Laowei and Su Changshi agreed loudly, and each brought a few people to work. His face was black and white, dirty like a farmer, and he didn't look like an official on his body.

Yu Sicang sighed again and again, squeezed his body towards the center of the crowd, and came closer to see what kind of treasure it was, so that Su Changshi didn't want it. I saw that Huang Lao's ten crooked fingers thicker than radish were like butterflies wearing flowers, dancing up and down, and in an instant, the two iron plates were connected into one with a leather rope through the holes made in advance.

One before the other, interlocking with each other. There is a big round hole on the top, and there is a slightly smaller round hole on each side, just like the short coat worn by the Zhuang family in summer, how weird and weird it is. It is neither cold-proof, nor breathable, and it is still heavy on the body, which can crush people to death!

"That's it!" Without waiting for him to ask what the other party was doing, Huang Lao Wei had already happily begun to express his merits, "It's about eighteen catties, which is at least ten catties lighter than the kind of big leaf armor worn by the Rakshasa people, and there is no gap between the leaves of the armor." On the battlefield, it must be easier to save your life!! ”

"Don't blow it yet, let's get the target and try it!" Zhu Eighty-one also stood up with his big black hand, took the sleeveless iron armor that had just been made from Huang Lao's crooked hand, separated the crowd, and strode towards the open space in the distance.

"This is armor?!" Yu Changlin felt that his head was clouded for a while, and the questioning words blurted out. Some time ago, the kind of big-leaf iron armor that was picked up from the Rakshasa people was weird enough, but I didn't expect Lord Du to make something even weirder.

The big lotus leaf armor of the Rakshasa people, the upper body can also pay chest protection, abdominal protection, rib armor, shoulder protection and back protection, five major parts. And the iron armor that is now in the hands of the Governor is clearly two large iron plates buckled together, and there is no excessation and distinction between the various parts.

"Half-body plate armor! Best for cavalry. If you are a hoplite, you should add leg guards and shin guards for the lower body. Zhu Eighty-one was busy with his head, and he didn't look back, explaining casually.

Note 1: Zixu, Wenzhong, Zixu's adviser during the Warring States period. The former assisted King Wu to defeat the state of Chu and achieve hegemony. The latter assisted Gou Jian in destroying the state of Wu. Both of them were famous ministers of the first generation, but both died at the hands of their lords.
