【173】Clothed in battle

"Of course it's different, you've heard of sacrificing your life for the country, but have you ever heard of sacrificing your life for the king? At the end of the day, as a sound person, it is not right that the allegiance should be to the country, the people, and the culture, not the person. Zhou Yi said.

Tang Huan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and said, "Then what? ”

Then you will find that the official family is just a person, a person with seven emotions and six desires, a person will make mistakes, the so-called people are not saints and sages, but the official family is not good, the official family cannot make mistakes, and once they make mistakes, the country will suffer. So allegiance to a country is better than allegiance to a monarch. The state is a concept, and it can never make mistakes. ”

"Oh, so what are you going to do now?" Tang Huan asked. These things are too nihilistic for her, just like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Magpie Bridge every Qixi Festival, but Zhou Yi knows that it takes sixteen years for the Cowherd Star and the Weaver Girl Star to collide once at the speed of light.

Zhou Yi said: "I want to save the country." ”

Tang Huan asked, "How to save it?" ”

Zhou Yi said: "This thing is a bit dangerous, I'm afraid it will affect you." ”

He didn't answer Tang Huan's question directly.

Tang Huan smiled and said, "It's okay, you don't have much to do with me?" ”

Zhou Yi was very strange and asked, "What do you say, why do you mean that I have less things to do with you?" ”

"Guess." Tang Huan stood up suddenly, kissed Zhou Yi on the forehead, and said, "Do what you want, I support you no matter what it is, I know that you are doing great things, don't care about those details." ”

Zhou Yi grabbed Tang Huan's hand tightly and said excitedly: "You still understand me best, and reward you and me for snapping." ”

“……”

communicated with Tang Huan. Zhou Yi began his own road to save the country. It's actually quite simple. He just appropriated some gunpowder or something and tinkered with it in a house in the northwest corner of the steel mill.

A month ago, in Qingshen County, Iron Hammer put a gray-white steel plate on the ground, and then slashed it on it with a kitchen knife, sparks flew everywhere, and then found that the steel plate was unscathed. The kitchen knife in his hand has been curled, which means that the hardness of this off-white = steel plate has surpassed the kitchen knife too much, perhaps, this is really successful. So he sent this steel plate and manufacturing process from Qingshen County to Zhending Mansion non-stop.

I still remember when Zhou Yi got it, the first feeling was that happiness came too suddenly, and it was so happy that it made people fly. After several years of hard work, this kind of steel plate was finally studied. In the letter, Hammer said that the plate could withstand extremely high temperatures, and that ordinary flames could not melt.

It is because of this thing. That's why Zhou Yi made up his mind to save the country.

In the era of cold weapons, the scale of wars will not be small. If it's very small, it's called a group fight, not a war. In the era of hot weapons, the scale of dozens or hundreds of people is already considered a team battle, and if there are 100,000 people, it will definitely kill a major event that will go down in history.

Zhou Yi believes that as long as he has advanced weapons, he can not be afraid of any opponent.

That's why he is so persistent in doing these things, now it is the third year of Xuanhe, and there are still five years before Song Huizong's abdication, thinking about the time when he just crossed over, thinking that there are still seven or eight years before Jingkang, but in the blink of an eye, half of the time has passed.

Regarding the matter of making new weapons, Zhou Yi has decided not to communicate with Zhao Ji, which is also the only thing he hides from Zhao Ji, but it is also the most important point. Since the last time Tong Guan commented that the weapon used by Zhou Yi was hurtful, he had already decided like this.

How could Zhou Yi not know that the reason why Tong Guan said this was just that he was afraid that the imperial court would not be able to control him after Zhou Yi made a powerful weapon.

But after all, the Great Song Dynasty can't be allowed to fall into the hands of foreigners, this is Zhou Yi's only idea.

The stone-stacked walls are as high as five zhang and cover an area of two acres, which is where Zhou Yi works. There's nothing special about this house, not even a roof, maybe that's special support.

On the ground, there is a very large box, which is the place where Zhou Yi uses to store raw materials, in order to avoid being wet by the rain on rainy days.

There are not only Zhou Yi here, but also two other middle-aged people, they are highly skilled technicians in making fireworks, and they were invited by Zhou Yi at a high price, before researching what Zhou Yi wanted, the two of them watched every move with at least two pairs of eyes, one of which was Guo Sheng. The accommodation was also specially arranged by Zhou Yi to ensure that they would not come into contact with outsiders.

If it was said that in a few hundred years, Zhou Yi would be arrested in the name of imprisoning others for their personal freedom, and now that he said anything, others would not dare not listen to him, and suddenly he felt that the ancient times were really good.

I still remember that day, Zhou Yi walked into the largest fireworks workshop in Zhending Mansion, and a person over half a hundred years old greeted him, and knelt on the ground with his legs bent: "The grass people have seen the prefect." ”

Zhou Yi was wearing civilian clothes and did not follow his entourage, he smiled and asked, "Do you recognize me?" ”

The man replied, "The little old man went to see him when he returned to the city." ”

Zhou Yi nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, you get up, I'm not used to kneeling on the ground and talking, this time, I mainly discuss things with you." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, what does the prefect need, the small shop must do its best." He stood up.

Zhou Yi took out a piece of paper and pushed it in front of him, saying, "Take a look." ”

The shopkeeper looked at it and said, "No problem, I will definitely choose the best master in our shop to bring it to you." ”

Then he went out, and after about a quarter of an hour, two old men who were older than him came in, both of whom were of similar appearance, and heard from the shopkeeper that they were two brothers, who had been working in the workshop for fifty years.

Zhou Yi greeted them one by one, but when he was a teenager, he called a person from his grandfather's generation Ah Da A Xiao made him feel full of disobedience.

But that's not the point, that's the point......

Zhou Yi clenched his hands into fists against his mouth and coughed lightly, he watched those people on TV acting like this, and then lowered his voice and said in a very slow tone: "That, Ah Da Ah Xiao, that's the case, I have something I need you to do, but the process may be a little boring." But don't worry, the benefits will definitely not be lost to you, and I will pay you ten dollars a month for your family, but until I give permission, you will not be able to go home, nor can you have contact with anyone. After this is successful, I can make your children and grandchildren officials. ”

In fact, the front is not the point, money can make them feel tempted at most, but they can't refuse to be an official. Shinong industry and commerce, as workers, they are destined to be third-class citizens, not even a mud leg, the ancient restrictions on identity, which is almost equivalent to the current racial discrimination, ordinary people basically can't bear it, no one doesn't want to get ahead. Zhou Yi's opening was able to make their children and grandchildren jump from the industrial and commercial class to the scholar class, how could they refuse? Even if Zhou Yi said that they would be killed on the spot now, it is estimated that they would not hesitate.

"This matter was secretly ordered to do by the official family, and no one can reveal it, only me and the two of you know, if there is a fourth person, then we will all be punished by the Nine Clans, do you understand?"

Zhu Jiu Clan!

As soon as these words came out, Ah Da Ah Xiao suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and hurriedly agreed, Zhou Yi threw out a chapter of golden tickets to the shopkeeper and said: "I will take the people away, you are responsible for telling their families, you remember to send this money to his family, if you let me know......"

"Don't dare, these are naturally going to be sent to the homes of the two of them, they have made many contributions to the store over the years, and these are what they deserve." The shopkeeper hurriedly said.

Zhou Yi nodded slightly, then got up and walked outside, and the two old men followed. I met people on the road, and those who knew them talked about it.

"Isn't this a big and a small? How did the prefect take them away? Could it be that they have committed a crime? ”

Another person said disdainfully: "Say that you are uneducated, and you are not good at studying, if you commit a crime, the prefect can personally arrest you?" Obviously, the prefect is going to make some new things again. ”

"That makes sense, let's wait for the prefect's surprise."

The two of them were also puzzled, but they didn't dare to speak, and they didn't stop until Zhou Yi took them into the industrial park and came to the strange big stone house.

"Then you will work here, whatever you need will be brought in by someone outside, your place of residence is not far away in a courtyard, specially built for the two of you to live, but there are no maids and servants, will there be special people to send you food? And your work, I can tell you now. ”

When he told them about his idea of a cannon, they were both shocked, but they had to admire that it was simply a divine idea. By now, they no longer have the capital to refuse, so they can only agree.

To be honest, Zhou Yi didn't understand the principle of that cannonball being stuffed in and shooting out, so he found these two people, shooting cannonballs and shooting fireworks should be similar, right?

Of course, there is another point is the cannonball, those high-tech ones will not, but as far as the current level of technology is concerned, the spherical black powder explosives with a lead have been able to be made, and they have been put into war as early as the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, but they have not been widely circulated.

Zhou Yi recalled that when he watched the Ming Dynasty TV series, the mighty general's bronze cannon drew the shape, and then discussed with these two workers to modify the details, some small parts and the like. It took a month to draw the exterior and structure drawings of all the parts. (To be continued......)
