Tongshan County.

Ye Yingji stood outside the workshop and paced back and forth, although the guards around him didn't dare to let him go too far, they didn't say a word.

The sound of horses' hooves bursts, Ye Yingji hurriedly raised his head, the first person was dressed in green clothes, not the deputy envoy of the dignified Yanjiang system, Ye Yingwu Ye envoy of Xingzhou Zhizhou, who else could it be? It's just that this time, like Ye Yingji, Ye Yingwu's face was not more of the joy of brothers meeting, but an elusive expectation and worry.

The day after the wedding, he did not stay in that gentle township, but hurried over with Jiang Tie and more than a dozen cavalrymen early in the morning, and the group was all dusty servants.

"Yuanyeol, you're finally here." Ye Yingji hurriedly caught up.

Ye Yingwu put away the horsewhip and nodded: "How is that thing made now, my brother once said in the letter that it has failed several times?" ”

Ye Yingwu's wedding yesterday was a first-class event for the entire old Ye family, but in the vast crowd, there was no Ye Yingji, not because Ye Yingji had any opinions about his younger brother who watched him grow up, but because he was here looking at that thing at that time. From Ye Yingji's somewhat worried and anxious looks, Ye Yingwu noticed the clues, and a big stone hung in his throat in his heart.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Ye Yingji got out of the way: "Let's talk while walking." ”

Before the words fell, Ye Yingji threw off his pace, coming and going in the mountains in the past few months, making this middle-aged man who was not very bookish in the first place look more like a strong man in the mountains than the magistrate of Tongshan County, Xingzhou.

"How's it going?" Although he had vaguely expected it, Ye Yingwu still didn't want to face such a result, after all, according to the craftsmanship of this era, in fact, this is not too difficult to do, if such a thing can't be done, then it means that the level of craftsmen that the Tianwu Army can rely on now is indeed not high.

Ye Yingji was slightly stunned, and then said: "The situation is not bad, but after all, this thing is the first time to be made." And I don't know much about the degree that should be mastered, so the first one to be taken out and launched exploded, but the next few have a good effect, but it's still not as good as you imagined. ”

"It's done?!" Ye Yingwu was overjoyed. Take a long breath.

As soon as a few people spoke, they had already walked to the open space in the middle of the firearms workshop, which faced a small deserted slope on the other side, and there were Tianwu soldiers stationed in the distance, so they were not worried that anyone would steal the biggest secret of the Tianwu Army.

This is also why Xingzhou has accepted so many people from the north. It is the least reason for resettlement in Tongshan County.

Just under the grass hut that Ye Yingwu visited last time, several round iron buckets were placed there, but the size and caliber and even the thickness of the iron sheet outside were different, and several grass sheds on the side had collapsed, and the craftsmen who came and went were busy rebuilding.

Exhaling gently, Ye Yingwu stabilized his mind, Ye Yingji and the others who had seen him before frowned slightly, and those Ye Yingwu guards who followed in were curiously looking at these strange firearms that he had never seen before.

"Envoy, what is this for?" Jiang Tie opened his mouth a little cautiously, after all, the not-so-good-looking expressions of Ye Yingji and the others made him dare not estimate the power of this firearm.

Ye Yingwu shook his head: "Take a look." ”

Ye Yingji, who was standing beside him, made a gesture. Several craftsmen stepped forward a little rusty, filled in the somewhat rough black powder of this era, and then took a barely square package and stuffed it in.

"Put!" One of the craftsmen in charge of the command shouted.

The gunpowder was ignited, and then Jiang Tie and the others heard a muffled sound, and a powerful wave of qi swept through the dust, and after a moment of huge muffled sound, "Boom!" Then a thunderous sound came from the slope in the distance!

Flames were rising, smoke was everywhere, and the grass and trees on the slope that had been hit had disappeared a lot.

Looking at such a result, Ye Yingwu was secretly happy in his heart. Jiang Tie and the others were dumbfounded, but Ye Yingji, who had been faintly worried, rushed straight into the grass shed excitedly, and hugged several scruffy craftsmen with scruffy beards.

In the melting mood.

"It's still working well." Ye Yingwu nodded and muttered. "Flying thunder cannon, no conscience cannon, so-and-so created you seven hundred years ago, just to hope that you can save the whole world at the most critical time, there are people in this world who fail someone, and there are people who believe in so-and-so. But I still believe that you will not be disappointed. ”

Ye Yingji excitedly wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeves, and laughed heartily, he was originally the supervising official of Lin'an, and at this time, he was able to see another powerful firearm born in front of his eyes, how could he not be excited.

What's more, this guy is not a sky-shaking thunder, he can only be thrown by hand or buried in the ground, this is a powerful new firearm with the power of the earth-shaking thunder and the range of the divine arm crossbow, and this is also a firearm that the Tianwu Army seeks to attack rather than defend, looking at such an effect, Ye Yingji has even begun to imagine what kind of earth-shaking effect it will bring if hundreds or thousands of such firearms are launched according to Ye Yingwu.

Burn the mountains and boil the sea, but that's it!

In fact, these are not the most important, the most important thing is that the materials required for this firearm are too simple, except that it may be a little difficult to fire this thin iron barrel, and the rest is actually only necessary to wrap the most ordinary gunpowder.

And this also means that with only very simple training, the entire Tianwu Army can master this powerful and powerful killing weapon.

All of this stems from Ye Yingwu's imagination, Ye Yingji now doesn't know what his once charming brother has in his head, and he doesn't know how Ye Yingwu suddenly changed like this, but Ye Yingji knows very well that the good wishes that Ye Yingwu is outlining for the Tianwu Army and countless people in the world are not pipe dreams.

He is proving step by step that he has the strength to save everything.

"Others, go ahead!" Ye Yingwu calmly gave the order, standing on a high place, he could see that outside the slope that had originally exploded, the Tianwu Army of the brigade was assembling and building a blockade line in the opposite direction of the slope. The Tianwu Army that protects the firearms and the bow and crossbow workshop are all elites selected from all compartments, and even compared with the Six Doors and the Jinyi Guards, they are not far behind, and now after receiving the order conveyed by Ye Yingwu personally. These days, the military soldiers are not looking back curiously, but just silently moving forward to carry out their mission.

Ye Yingji nodded lightly: "Okay, continue." ”

Several other Thunderbolt Cannons have also been loaded. Ye Yinghe nodded at Ye Yingwu, the two brothers straightened up at the same time, Jiang Tie and the other Ye Yingwu's personal guards were also elite after all, and after the initial shock, they immediately stood up straight. Look ahead without fear.

"Boom, boom!" The flying thunder cannon roared one after another, and after the lesson of the blood that killed and injured several craftsmen after the first unfortunate explosion, he finally passed the quality of the iron sheet, so Ye Yingwu didn't have to worry about being blown up.

Obviously, it can be seen that the degree of forging of iron buckets and gunpowder filling is not very good, compared with the time just now, the location of the bombardment of the flying thunder cannon this time is more scattered, and the power is also large and small, but Ye Yingwu is not very worried about this, after all, if hundreds of flying thunder cannons are fired at the same time, these small flaws are not too big a problem.

"Strive for improvement. There is no need to force it. Ye Yingwu looked at Ye Yingji, he was actually very satisfied with this effect, after all, the flying thunder cannon fired an explosive pack, not a cannonball, and it was actually thankful that it could achieve this accuracy.

In any case, he finally succeeded in copying this once glorious heavy firearm to this era, and it can be regarded as adding weight to his northward journey. Ye Yingji smiled and stepped forward slowly, and more craftsmen followed him.

Most of these craftsmen are people at the bottom of society, precisely because they met a commander like Ye Yingwu, who attaches great importance to firearms and bows and crossbows, and has Ye Yingji, who once personally led the general as a supervisor, as their top boss. Therefore, they can have food and clothing now, and they can even feed a large family, but they are still a little scared when they come to Ye Yingwu.

Jiang Tie glanced at him behind him. Ye Yingwu stepped forward with a smile: "I don't know who developed this?" ”

A young craftsman looked at Ye Yingji, Ye Yingji nodded at him encouragingly, and the craftsman said, "Envoy Qi, this thing was developed by the villain and the master together." Of course, these uncles and colleagues around me are also involved. ”

"Oh, where's your master?" Ye Yingwu was a little surprised. This person looks like he is only twenty years old, and he is indeed a talent to be able to provoke the beam.

The young craftsman shook his head sadly, barely hiding the tears gushing from his eyes: "The master was killed in the first shot. It's gone??????"

Stunned, Ye Yingwu gently patted him on the shoulder: "He died for the Tianwu Army and countless soldiers, he is a hero and a hero." ”

As a craftsman, it is a great honor to be able to get such an evaluation from the world-famous Ye Yuanjun, and the young craftsman was a little shocked on the spot, not knowing what he should say to this Ye Yuanjun who was smiling in front of him.

However, Ye Yingwu didn't need him to say anything, Jiang Tie had already come over with a plate of gold and silver, as well as fine silk, and a golden medal on the top of the plate. Ye Yingwu took out the medal from the plate with his own hands and put it on the young craftsman's chest:

"Every one of you deserves to be rewarded. Here, I promise all the craftsmen of the entire workshop that if you can develop a powerful enough firearm, a bow and a crossbow, or any other weapon that alleviates the casualties of the soldiers, kills the enemy more, or other tools that are conducive to the peace and contentment of the people, you will be rewarded heavily, and you will be given the glory you deserve! All the craftsmen who are heroic for the sake of research and development will enjoy the same treatment and glory as the soldiers who died in battle of the Tianwu Army! ”

In a shocked gaze, Ye Yingwu solemnly bowed his hand to the craftsmen: "Everyone, there is a long way to go, please!" ”

Silently, the black pressed a group of people to their knees.

Fell to his knees in the dust.

No one had ever attached importance to them, except for the Ye Envoy in front of him, who did not regard them as the inheritors of Kit Kat and lewd skills, but as a member of the Tianwu Army, as glorious pioneers and victims.

It's an unprecedented glory, and it's worth dying for.

Ye Yingwu from seven hundred years later can be said to be a generation that has seen the power of science and technology with his own eyes, so perhaps Ye Yingwu, as a liberal arts student, is limited to guiding craftsmen to make simple and even shabby firearms like flying thunder cannons, but this does not prevent Ye Yingwu from attaching importance to science and technology. Anyway, now the firearms of the Great Song Dynasty are already the most advanced in the entire world, and a good foundation is already there, so you only need to cultivate it carefully.

The reward for the craftsmen is one of them, and the people of this era have solved the problem of food and clothing. What I want to do most is nothing more than to glorify our ancestors, so that the ancestors and ancestors in heaven can see future generations become famous.

Ye Yingwu had already solved the food and clothing of these craftsmen before, and now he has undoubtedly injected them with a dose of strengthening, wanting to go down in history and blood for generations? All right. A certain Ye Yingwu is now giving you such an opportunity.

Looking at the black and oppressive figure behind him, Ye Yingwu was silent for a moment, and then Huo Ran turned around, but this time he did not choose to kneel down like he did at the big wedding in Yongxing County, but personally supported several craftsmen who took the lead, and there were tears in his eyes, and Ye Yingwu's voice choked: "Everyone, how can a certain Ye Yingwu be able to be worthy of everything you have done like this." They all want you to fight for the Tianwu Army, for this piece of mountains and rivers that our ancestors have passed down to us for generations, not for a certain Ye Yingwu alone! Please stand up quickly, such a big gift is really a torment! ”

Some of Ye Yingwu's choked tears may be to buy people's hearts, but most of them are because their hearts have been deeply touched, and the people of this era have invisibly touched him and moved him with their words and deeds, whether it is tens of thousands of sons and daughters of the Tianwu Army who follow their banners without hesitation, whether it is the people kneeling down like a wave on the streets of Yongxing County to thank their great kindness, whether it is these simple craftsmen with calloused hands and dark clothes at this moment. They are silent, entrusting everything to him.

In the era under the rule of the Chinese Yanhuang nation, there was no need to bow down to the emperor, and the people of this era did not need to bow to the emperor, unless they saw the benefactor who saved their lives, or they really had a matter of life and death. Only then will the kneeling action of bending over and bending the knee will be used.

And now, in front of Ye Yingwu, the craftsmen that the martial arts army relies on these days are kneeling in such a dark and oppressive manner, expressing their heartfelt gratitude and trust to Ye Yingwu.

Jiang Tie, who had already seen it once, naturally stood there expressionless and did not say a word, while Ye Yingji had heard that thousands of people in Yongxing County bowed. Now this scene is once again real and shocking in front of me, and I don't know what to say with my mouth open.

After a long time, Ye Yingwu solemnly bowed his hand to each craftsman, turned around and walked in front of Ye Yingji, Ye Yingji hesitated for a moment and then stretched out his hand to stop him: "Yuanlie, do you know what they were doing just now?" ”

"I know." Ye Yingwu was not as confused as Ye Yinghe imagined, but replied calmly, "I know it very well in my heart. ”

Ye Yingji was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Although this is not considered three kneeling and nine knocking, but since ancient times, my Chinese men have kneeling to the sky and kneeling to their parents, and even the saint's official family has only stood to worship, and now, these people have knelt down for you, and they regard you as their heaven and earth." ”

"The Emperor and the Queen of Earth?" Ye Yingwu chuckled, "You and I brothers, what else do you need to hide?" ”

Ye Yingji was stunned, and only after a moment did he sigh helplessly: "Yuanlie, you know, for brother??????"

Stopped, Ye Yingwu looked at this brother who was actually more than ten years older than himself, and said softly: "Brother, I know very well that you will definitely not be able to overcome this hurdle in your heart, even including Daddy, they will not allow me to go to that step, this time they are married a few old bones and come faster than anyone else, I can also figure out a hint here, but brother, have you ever thought about ??????it?"

"What have you thought about?" Ye Yingji turned around, but just happened to see the potholed slope that had been bombarded by flying thunder.

Ye Yingwu shook his head, but did not continue, there are some things that he can't explain clearly in a few words, especially people like Ye Yingji and even his father Ye Mengding, who have been instilled with the idea of reading people for the Great Song since they were children, and they naturally can't allow the Great Song Dynasty to be replaced by their own family, which is a big rebellion.

Thought about what? Ye Yingji asked himself, after all, he shook his head with a wry smile, now this kind of thing is just a glimpse of the eight characters, and he doesn't need to worry about it himself, what he needs to care about is these extremely secret workshops in Tongshan County and the people who have just struggled out of Jia Yufeng's clutches.
