Chapter 53: Self-defeating
"You? You ......, you are ......, ha, hahaha! I've never seen you in such a posture! ”
Gongsun Hong laughed as much as he could, laughing like he was crazy with a sheep, although he didn't want to raise the bar with Lin Bin, but he didn't want to miss every opportunity to laugh at Lin Bin, it seemed that every time he laughed, he could enhance his self-confidence. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info This is called stepping on others and elevating oneself, which is very in line with his dirty thoughts.
"Fear of women, that's not okay. Hong has a strategy, he will be able to get out of this chaos for you, two little women, you and I will take one each, how about it? ”
Lin Bin didn't pay attention to Gongsun Hong's chirping at all, in fact, he didn't mind much ridicule, people can't rely on their mouths to insult others to death, if they really listen to a few words and commit suicide in shame, then they are either brain-dead or they don't want to live at all. Lin Bin felt funny when he heard the latter words, and glared fiercely, "It turned out to be the idea of beating a woman?" is still the same sentence, if you have the ability, you will chase it, and you will not be spared with a strong Lao Tzu! ”
Gongsun Hong laughed dryly, "What? Hong has been thinking for a long time, you seem to be stupid, but everything you do is not ambiguous, and you can have the quality of accommodating people, which is one of the reasons why Hong is selfish but willing to follow. But do you know that if you go on like this, how can you establish your prestige? ”
"Stupid?" Lin Bin really didn't expect his impression to be so bad on others, and stopped when he heard the words, "Do you say I'm like an idiot?" ”
Gongsun Hong smiled and nodded, he didn't know why, he always felt that it was much better to untie the knot than to be suspicious of each other.
Lin Bin continued to walk, and he kept walking towards the center of the village, where the crowd should also gather and wait for the military order. He saw Gongsun Hong nodding, his face was indifferent, "Prestige can't be established with a stinky face, otherwise, if you put on a stinky face for so long, they are afraid of you except that they don't want to talk to you?" ”
Gongsun Hong was unconsciously stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.
"Prestige can only be convincing if it is established with the blade in our hands, and we are now running for our lives, who are we showing with a stinky face? Be kind and kind to yourself, treat your enemies, and don't speak with your mouth, and the blade is always the best tool for speaking. Ever heard a phrase? ”
"My lord, just talk about it, and Hong will listen to you."
"It was once said that history is always propelled forward by the saber, and that the best diplomatic speech is a declaration of war, and there is nothing more endearing than the love and fear of the enemy."
"Huh?! Who's talking? ”
"If you lived for thousands of years, you'd see him."
Lin Bin knew that this joke was not funny at all, and he personally felt that whether it was the princess or the lord of Weng, she didn't want to see them now, and she didn't disclose her identity to release the rebellion, which showed that she didn't care who robbed her. The only thing that made Lin Bin feel confused was that she didn't show any panic after she was robbed, but waited for the truth with a little calm, as if nothing had happened.
When he came to the center of the village, Chen Yi was already there waving his hand and greeting, and there were seven people standing behind him, who should be the blacksmith that Lin Bin needed.
"Your Excellency!" Chen Yi first hugged a fist, and then introduced them one by one, he said, two of these seven are old craftsmen, both have built armor and weapons, and the other five are registered citizens of the county government, they have all followed the Shanghu, that is, the armory division of the county government to build weapons, but have not made a single weapon or armor.
Lin Bin glanced around at the people, carefully examined their shoulder bones, arms and palms, from which it could be found that these people were indeed craftsmen who wielded heavy hammers all year round, and only the shoulders of craftsmen would be so thick, let them pull off their shirts and take a look, and their skin also showed that they had been next to the fire for a long time, which became unusually dark and dry.
"Where is the mason I want? Did you find it? ”
"My lord, the mason has already built a furnace there at your request, and the fixtures have been moved there."
Lin Bin patted Chen Yi on the shoulder, smiled appreciatively, and turned his head to look at those craftsmen, "You guys will eat here with me later, and I'll tell you what we want to build, and then discuss whether it's okay or not." ”
When the seven craftsmen heard that they were going to share food with Lin Bin, they looked at each other with joy, and then responded excitedly: "No! ”
Taking advantage of the meal time, Lin Bin talked a lot with the craftsmen, and when he heard that there was no problem with melting copper, Lin Bin's heart finally let go.
As early as the Qin Dynasty, there was a matter of grinding ink utensils with terracotta bricks, at that time, the craftsmen grinded out the grooves of the weapon style on the inkware, and then poured the copper water, and then put it in the furnace for a period of time, used the urine of livestock to cool down, pry open the inkware, and put the unfinished product that has become the appearance of the weapon and put it on the weapon rack to wait for others to process, there is already an assembly line manufacturing process, and the weapons made, take the arrow, 10,000 three-sided arrows, They have reached a terrifying accuracy of no more than 0.8 millimeters in size with each other.
Lin Bin has never denied the wisdom of the ancients, when he asked if anyone knew the style of Ma Kai, an old craftsman named Chang Yan said that his ancestors were originally from Zhao State, and they had built Ma Kai for the Zhao army, and the skills were taught. ”。 But Chang Yan's next sentence calmed Lin Bin, Chang Yan said, to build Ma Kai in the current situation is a bit troublesome, not the lack of strong war horses, but the lack of craftsmen, a Ma Kai will take at least ten days, if Lin Bin does not plan to stay here, it is better to dispel that idea.
"My lord is relieved, even if we are fighting for our lives, we will grind out the armor for the adult."
Lin Bin was depressed again, he thought that if he talked about the manufacturing principle of Tang-style Mingguang armor, the craftsmen should understand it, but he didn't think that the craftsmen looked down on that kind of plate armor very much, saying that it was too bulky, and there was not enough leather here to make that kind of thing.
The craftsmen selected the more popular Xuanjia, that is, the fish scale armor forged from thousands of pieces of copper, this Xuanjia manufacturing process is actually very simple, that is, after the copper is melted, the copper is forged into a piece of armor, and then annealed and decarbonized, which has toughness. The torso and crumbs to the elbow are surrounded by iron armor, the bell shape is like a half-sleeved short coat, and the copper armor is differentiated into delicate fish scale armor and ordinary armor, and the armor is stacked densely like fish scales, but at this time it is not called fish scale armor, but called Xuanjia.
"This kind of armor can be used for foot combat or horse fighting, and it is not bulky, and the joints are not hindered by the armor, which is conducive to wielding soldiers to kill the enemy."
"Hmm......" Lin Bin pondered, skeptically asked: "How long does it take for so many copper sheets?" ”
"If the adults dispatch 300 people, and the materials are sufficient, 250 Xuan armors can be made for the adults within a month."
Manpower is not a problem, now except for the soldiers with war horses and weapons, other people are practicing the battle formation with wooden sticks almost every day, and they are in a hurry, Lin Bin does not need these people who have no weapons to fight with the Huns for the time being, and they can be temporarily transferred.
Lin Bin asked some more questions, and after a while, he tentatively asked some questions, such as whether there were really stirrups and saddles during the period when Zhao and Qin were fighting, and the craftsmen couldn't understand the title, so Lin Bin drew a brief appearance on the ground with a branch, and when the craftsmen saw it clearly, he erased the pattern and looked at the craftsmen expectantly to say the answer.
Chang Yan naturally became the foreman of the craftsmen, "This thing seems to have seen ......"
Lin Bin's heart jumped, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he saw Chang Yan go down, "It looks ......, it looks like, but ......" Chang Yan seemed to be thinking hard, Lin Bin was not in a hurry, and waited quietly for the answer.
"But Zhao Guo doesn't seem to have the wrapped wooden core wrapped in copper skin underneath, just two cloth ropes hanging down at random to tie the horse mat."
"Cloth what? Rope? How? ”
"My lord, you can ask people, only a few soldiers in Zhao Guo fixed their calves on the horse's belly in order not to fall off their horses in battle, but there is no gadget to stand ......on their feet," Chang Yan said this, and was suddenly stunned, "This, this...... Stand on your feet!? Good! When something is on his feet, the knight can pull out his left hand on the horse's back to grasp the reins...... Good! Great! ”
Lin Bin's forehead was instantly covered with sweat, and he thought to himself: Who said that the ancients had a low IQ in the future, they would immediately fight with him!
"Ahem...... This is a military secret, so don't give it away. Got it? ”
“……?” It seems that the craftsmen do not understand what military secrets are.
"In other words, this can't be made, can't be said, it's about the survival of our race, and it was learned by the Huns, and no one wants to live! Got it!? Lin Bin said seriously and seriously, and his eyes were cold, and killing intent kept emerging.
The craftsmen, including Gongsun Hong and Chen Yi, who were observing, stood up very seriously and responded in unison: "No! ”
