Chapter 161: Arsenal
"The Great Sacrifice Wine?" Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood. Zhang Wen is a descendant of the Heavenly Master, and when the Department Master Zhang Lu was under house arrest in Luoyang, he did not dare to show his face, so as not to bring danger to Luoyang's family. Then if you want to mobilize the Heavenly Master Dao people, you need another leader, Zhang Wen handed over the position of the head of the Great Sacrifice Wine to him, and he has a name. At the same time, he accepted this position, and he was included in the system of Heavenly Master Dao, and in the future, Zhang Wen will be the Heavenly Master, and he is the spiritual leader of all Heavenly Master Daoists in the world, and his status in the sect is naturally higher than that of him, the head of Guanzhong District, and he can give orders to him, at least exert influence, which can not be said to be disrespectful.
This is the condition of the Heavenly Master Dao, and it is also the condition of Zhang Wen.
Wei Ba couldn't help but think of the chairman. When the chairman of the committee first debuted, he also worshiped under a tycoon as a younger brother, and later he ruled the world, but the tycoon did not dare to treat him as an apprentice. Zhang Wen opened his mouth widely, he actually wanted to play this kind of trick, and he didn't want to think about it, although China said that the monarchy is divinely granted, how can the divine power really control the monarchy.
He smiled more sincerely: "I'm not qualified enough to serve as the head of the chief sacrificial wine, right?" ”
"Joining the army has an understanding of Taoism beyond ordinary people, and the Great River Diagram is even more unfathomable, if we are not qualified to join the army, won't we people die of shame?" Zhang Wen also laughed. He knew that it was impossible for Wei Ba to refuse this condition now. If Wei Ba wanted to hold Guanzhong, he couldn't refuse the help of 100,000 disciples of the Heavenly Master Dao, otherwise with Zhao Yun and Wei Yan's 20,000 horses, he would not be able to gain a foothold at all. He leaned in front of Wei Ba and said in a voice that seemed to be whispered, but in fact everyone next to him could hear: "Joining the army, I won't tell you, this is a condition that has been tacitly approved by the department master, but for security reasons, we didn't fall on paper." But. This Dao Seal can be handed over to you now. ”
Zhang Wen took out a jade seal from his arms and put his hands in front of Wei Ba. looked at Wei Ba with blazing eyes. Wei Ba looked at the jade seal and knew that as long as he took this seal, it would be the Great Sacrifice Wine of Guanzhong District, and he would be able to command 100,000 Heavenly Master Dao believers immediately. But in this way, Zhang Wen, the descendant of the Heavenly Master, is his spiritual leader.
At least that's what Zhang Wen thinks.
Wei Ba took a step back. He took the jade seal with both hands, bowed to the east, and said with a smile: "Then I might as well be respectful?" ”
Zhang Wen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's right." It is a blessing for us to have such a great talent to join the army, and it is a blessing for the Daomen. ”
Wei Ba smiled: "Meng Yuyan is serious. Although I am in charge of the head of the Great Sacrifice Wine, I am not familiar with the affairs of the Daomen. I also want Meng Yu and all Taoist friends to help vigorously. ”
"It's nature." Zhang Wen and a few people next to him exchanged a satisfied look, and said angrily: "The big sacrificial wine is busy with military affairs, if there is anything, just leave it to us." ”
Wei Ba nodded: "Since we are all a family, I am welcome." I need you to gather as many believers as possible in the shortest possible time. In particular, to select believers who know all kinds of crafts, I need to set up a large food and ordnance processing workshop near Weishui. In addition, I will organize a battalion of combat vehicles that will be equipped with all kinds of new equipment that I have invented and improved. He looked at Zhang Wen and the others, and said earnestly: "These are all sharp weapons, I can only give them to the most trustworthy people." ”
Zhang Wen and the others were overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order: "Abide by the decree of the Great Sacrifice Wine Decree of the Governing Head." ”
Wei Ba wanted to laugh, Lao Tzu is now going to take office? Zhang Wen is really well-behaved, although he has already decided the next Heavenly Master, he still regards himself as an ordinary disciple at the moment, and he is very respectful to him.
……
With the help of 100,000 Heavenly Masters and Daoists, half of the big stone in Wei Ba's heart fell, but he still didn't dare to relax. When Zhao Su was negotiating with those Guanzhong people, he rushed to the baggage camp to check. So far, at the call of Zhang Wen and others, the number of Heavenly Master Taoists and the people of Guanzhong who rushed to the vicinity of Chang'an has reached more than 30,000, and Wei Ba has selected more than 4,000 people who know all kinds of crafts, enriched them to the baggage camp, and managed them according to the process of modern industry, divided them into different types of work, and began to process various parts and components according to the drawings he prescribed. Classified by type of work, on the one hand, it is to improve efficiency, on the other hand, it is also for secrecy, these weapons that he will process in the baggage camp are the most powerful weapons on this shijie, and they are also the ones he will rely on to dominate Guanzhong in the future and make contributions, no matter how careful he is, it is worth it.
After more than a month of preparation, the first batch of craftsmen have become accustomed to this new way of working, and the cooperation has become tacit, and various infrastructure has been built. Wei Ba built a large workshop on the banks of the Weishui River, and first erected dozens of water mills and water turbines. The water mill is to solve the problem of eating for tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of people are focused together, and the food consumed every day is a scary number, in order to prepare food for these people, it takes hundreds of people to grind noodles alone, and now with these water mills, as long as a dozen or so people watch, they can easily complete the task.
The hydro turbine is the driving force that Weiba prepares for the next workshop production. Using the inexhaustible water power, he can save a lot of manpower and set up a large-scale ordnance processing workshop in a short period of time to supply the next offensive and defensive battles in Guanzhong. Tens of thousands of troops to fight, the two most important foundations are food and ordnance, without sufficient food and ordnance, even if there are elite soldiers, it is meaningless, the soldiers cannot fight hungry, and it is impossible to fight against Cao Wei's army empty-handed. Food and ordnance are the material basis for ensuring a protracted war, and to some extent are more important than the recruitment of more troops.
Wei Ba followed his father Wei Yan and master Zhao Yun to learn the art of war, and also learned how to command battles, but his current focus is not on these, he believes that there is the most cautious master Zhao Yun is right, and there is the most adventurous father Wei Yan, even if Cao Wei's army arrives, it may not be easy to open the gap in Guanzhong. However, if there is no sufficient supply of food and ordnance, even if another 50,000 troops are recruited, they may not be able to hold Guanzhong.
There are priorities, and the most important thing for him at the moment is to build this base. To this end, he racked his brains every day to improve the existing ordnance, find more designs, and then draw drawings, break them down into parts drawings, and hand them over to the craftsmen of the workshop to make and equip. Shiyan, and then improve. Most of the craftsmen in these years are illiterate, and there are many things. He has to keep an eye on it himself, and there must be no negligence, otherwise the parts that come out will not be assembled.
Fortunately, after more than a month of running-in, he and these craftsmen have some tacit understanding. It's not as uncommunicative anymore as it was at the beginning.
Standing by the edge of Weishui, looking at the workshops rising from the ground, Wei Ba felt very gratified. He believes. After the completion of this workshop with water power as the basic power, it may be the largest and most advanced arsenal in Jishu, and countless powerful weapons will go from here to the various city defenses in Guanzhong, and then to the whole world.
He had been an engineer in his previous life, and he was satisfied with a few minions under his command. I never thought that one day I would build such a huge workshop from scratch. More than 4,000 people, if it is a future generation, it will be a medium-sized enterprise with an annual output value of more than one billion, and now, it is a first-class large-scale enterprise. After completion, it is enough to attract the attention of people all over the world. Wei Ba believes that there may be more workshops with more people, but when it comes to the advanced and strong production capacity of Jishu, this workshop is definitely second to none.
After the completion of the infrastructure construction, Wei Ba's affairs will be relatively simpler, and he can devote more energy to the development of new products, to the cultivation of talents, and to the real military field. If you want to gain a foothold in this troubled era, military power is the most fundamental thing. Although Master and Daddy can be trusted, they will grow old after all, and their thoughts may not be exactly the same as his. In this regard, perhaps Zhao Yun, who is cautious by nature, understands him better than his father, who only focuses on the battlefield.
There was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, interrupting Wei Ba's thoughts, Wei Ba turned his head and saw Zhao Yun riding a white horse and galloping with a few guards. He hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile, "Master, is today's training complete?" ”
"It's done." Zhao Yun jumped off the horse, threw the reins of the horse to the guards beside him, strode over, looked at the workshop built along the river, stroked his gray beard and smiled: "The big war is about to begin, can your workshop start to provide ordnance?" ”
"In three or five days, the first batch of improved repeaters will be ready to be assembled."
"That's great." Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "Cao Zhen's army has arrived in Pubanjin, and I'm worried that you won't be able to catch up." ”
Wei Ba was taken aback: "How many people?" ”
"More than 20,000 people." Zhao Yun paused, and then said: "However, since Cao Rui dares to transfer out all the forbidden troops who stayed in the capital, it must be that the war in the southeast has ended, and it won't take much for Cao Wei's army to gather in Tongguan and Wuguan." Tongguan is well prepared, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the problem is not big, but Wuguan and Pubanjin are the top priorities. There is still a city to defend in Wuguan, but there is not even a city in Pubanjin, so we can only defend by the river. Ziyu, fifteen thousand recruits who have not really been on the battlefield, it is not an easy task to hold Pusakajin. ”
Wei Ba smiled easily: "Master, I believe that with you and my father joining forces, plus these workshops in front of me, there is no problem at all in guarding Guanzhong." ”
"So confident?" Zhao Yun stroked his beard and looked at Wei Ba with a smile.
"Yes, I have faith in you, and I have faith in myself." Wei Ba pointed to a water mill in the distance: "Master, do you know, there is a water mill in there, which is only guarded by two people, but it is equivalent to the efficiency of fifty people, which is amazing, right?" In fact, what is there about this water mill, it is nothing more than a pile of wood, and then a small amount of almost negligible iron, but through combination, they can play an unbelievable liliang. ”
"That one crossbow cart can withstand a few crossbowmen."
"Master, it's better to see than to hear, are you interested in seeing it?"
Zhao Yun haha smiled: "I have this intention." ”
