Chapter 108: Assault Rifle
As soon as he spoke, Yu Yunwen had already arrived in the hall, and when he heard the emperor speak, he didn't interject, but just bowed to Zhao Huan and stood quietly aside.
Zhao Huan glanced at him, but continued: "I have worked so hard to save money, food, and rice, and all the corporal doctors in the world have scolded me?" But I can't lose my ancestors because of the dissatisfaction of the scholars. This step of human armor, divine arm bow, and Mo knife are all extremely expensive, and I do not hesitate to incur complaints. ”
This paragraph is linked to the preface, and the meaning of the words is self-evident.
The emperor has already given a good hand to the generals in front of him, and now he is also contributing to today's general trend. If you can't defeat the Jin soldiers in this way, then you will "have negative hopes", and the sin will not be forgiven.
Yue Fei didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down to salute and replied, "The minister will definitely use it well, and he will never disappoint His Majesty." ”
"Good!" Zhao Huan smiled, and then glanced at Yu Yunwen.
Yu Yunwen understood, took a step forward, showed the Chinese book in his hand, and said to Yue Fei: "There are 11,000 pairs of foot armor, 6,000 Mo knives, a number of crossbows and arrows, all of which are supervised by the Ordnance Superintendent, the Arrow Building Institute, etc., and most of the production this year will be given to you." General Yue, these are all Seiko builds, and they cost a lot of money, and they are all for you, which shows the deep love of Your Majesty. ”
Yue Fei was excited, these new elite weapons were not enough, the emperor treated each other sincerely, and treated his father and son as family, it was still enough, but what he was rewarded here was not gold, silver and satin, but excellent weapons made by the standard, which showed how resolute the emperor's martial arts recovery heart was. As a general, what he is most afraid of is that the emperor will become weak, and Zhao Huan's performance at this moment will shatter the trace of hesitation and fear in his heart.
At that moment, he first took Yu Yunwen's Chinese book in his hand, and then bowed his head and thanked him: "His Majesty is trustworthy, and he should serve with all his might." Bow down and die. ”
Zhao Huan helped him up and said with a smile: "What I want is for you to smash Huanglong and be my Wei Qing, Li Jing, understand?" ”
When Yue Fei got up, he smiled at Yu Yunwen and asked, "Are you ready?" ”
Yu Yunwen replied: "When the minister came to the edict, he had already ordered someone to inform the ordnance supervisor, and this should be fine." ”
Zhao Huan was obviously full of interest, and said to everyone: "There is a new thing, I got it by thinking about it by chance. If you want to put it on the battle array, you need to see it before the generals know if you can use it. Yue Qing, let's go with me and take a look, how about it? ”
The emperor invited. Looking at the newly made weapon again, Yue Fei naturally nodded his head immediately, and behind him, Yue went to listen to the emperor say "new things". I'm even more eager to try.
At that moment, Yue Yun took his armor away, changed his robes, and everyone hugged Zhao Huan and walked towards the outside of the hall.
The emperor of the Song Dynasty went out of the palace to inspect, or even went on a small line, but most of them were in a sedan chair, and Zhao Huan fled back from Mobei, and his equestrianism has long exceeded that of ordinary people. In Chang'an for several years, the army did not stop, the horses galloped, and there were as many Mongolian guards as possible. Teaching him the art of riding and archery, he has been practicing non-stop for several years, and the bow horse is skillful and sophisticated, and he is no longer even under the Mongolian guards, and the ordinary Song people are far from being opponents.
When every man is outside the temple. Zhao Huan lightly verticalized, and he was already on the horse. And stepping down the ride is not an ordinary royal horse that has been trained, but a red horse with a violent temper, whose height is far higher than that of a regular horse, and his personality is violent.
Zhao Ding, Yu Yunwen and others have seen a lot, and it is not surprising that the two of them are also on their own horses.
Yue Fei's father and son saw that the emperor's equestrian skills were so excellent, but they were stunned for a moment, and then they got on the horse and followed behind.
Everyone controlled the horse from the east side of the main hall out of the door, bypassing a long alley, the palace room is not big, this moment has arrived at the palace gate.
Dozens of waiters waiting for the inner temple to travel have been waiting here for a long time, as soon as they saw Zhao Huan and others coming, more than ten people first went out of the palace gate to clear the road, and the remaining dozens of people gathered behind Zhao Huan, preparing the emperor to go out of the palace gate and surround the emperor's side to protect.
Zhao Huan didn't care at first, but when the guards surrounded him and went out, he saw at a glance that it was Zhi Yanwen leading the team, and couldn't help but wonder: "I have ordered you to hand over the mission, and you have been concentrating on operating at home these days, why are you still on duty?" ”
Zhi Yanwen already had a relationship with his uncle at this time, but he was still respectful, and immediately replied: "Although the minister is edicted, the envoy has not yet been handed over, and he needs to be on duty for two more days." ”
Zhao Huan smiled when he heard this, and he had nothing to say. Zhi Yanwen's sister Zhi Yuexiu is about to become the queen, and the two are already close relatives, but as the Son of Heaven, he has a lot of fears, and relatives like Zhi Yanwen are not something he can praise at will. Otherwise, the court officials would have discussed and even excluded them, and with the Song Dynasty's vigilance against the relatives of the country, the unity of the scholars, and the respect for the tradition of civil officials, Zhao Huan would not have chosen to confront the scholars in this kind of matter.
Therefore, Zhe Yanwen's cautious and cautious personality after experiencing the family change is a good thing for himself and Zhao Huan.
It was inconvenient for him to speak, but Zhao Ding smiled and said: "General Zhe is a relative of the country, but he is so cautious, it is a blessing for the country." ”
Zhi Yanwen just smiled slightly, and replied that he was ashamed, and then returned to the cavalry, commanding the inner shift to disperse the queue and protect Zhao Huan and his party.
Yue Fei also understood at this time that the inner hall in front of him knew that he was actually the queen's brother, but at this time, he was carrying a bow and arrows, waiting left and right, glancing at the folded Yanwen a few times, only to feel that his bearing was stable, and he did not see the slightest arrogance, and he didn't feel that he was secretly praising it in his heart.
Yesterday, the palace city was surrounded by all the central government offices, and there were few and few lines, most of them were officials and officials of the yamen of various ministries and departments, and there were some forbidden troops patrolling the city, patrolling back and forth near the yamen.
When out of the so-called imperial city, there were more and more pedestrians on the street, many of whom also knew Zhao Huan, and when they saw the cavalry passing by, many people knelt on the ground and saluted, Zhao Huan only smiled and nodded, waving his hand to greet the people.
Yue Fei was surprised at first, and even saw that there were more and more people along the way, and his nervous palms were sweating, and when he saw that the people on duty were just driving away the people who were too close, they did not scold and scold, and Zhao Ding and the others were also doing nothing, Zhao Huan was full of spring breeze, and he realized that the emperor was obviously often like this in Chang'an City.
Everyone ran all the way, and after getting out of the city gate, they ran again, and in front of them were rows of blue-tiled houses.
Because the city of Chang'an is narrow, since Zhao Huan was stationed, although there are not many ministers and soldiers in the accompanying place, there are many people of all kinds who come to defect because of the location of the Son of Heaven, the housing in the city is already tight, and the institutions that need a lot of space such as the ordnance supervisor are bound to not be built in the city, but they are built because of the city, and a large vacant land is found in the suburbs outside the city.
Yue Fei has not been in the barracks for more than ten years, and when he arrived outside the weapons prison, he saw that there were all kinds of weapons, and then he heard the sound of this soldier's drill, and a long-lost feeling came to his heart, and he immediately felt refreshed.
Zhao Huan was in front, leading everyone to run to an empty field in the prison, there were many officials, soldiers and craftsmen along the way, and it was not strange to see that the emperor was coming, but they bowed their heads one by one, and then they went to do their own things, which was obvious that Zhao Huan often came here.
When they got to the empty field, dozens of people were already looking forward to it, and saw Zhao Huan jump off the horse, and several officials in yellow robes or green robes came forward, and after bowing, everyone got up and smiled at Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty has not come for more than ten days, I said that the big gift is imminent in the past few days, Your Majesty must not have time to come, I don't want to come today." ”
Zhao Huan said with a smile: "This place is the most important place except for the front, how can I ignore major matters because of the canonization of the queen." ”
He commanded, "Where is the thunderbolt?" When you're ready, you can lure you in. ”
Everyone first obeyed the order, and then a few people stepped forward to persuade: "The thunderbolt car is very powerful, and Your Majesty's golden body is better to retreat to the sidelines to watch." ”
Zhao Huan smiled: "This car was made by me, what's the danger?" Besides, after the car is completed, you will practice every day, and you will definitely be fine. ”
Everyone knew that they could not do it, so they had to do what they were told.
Zhao Huan, Yue Fei and others retreated to the sidelines, and after a while, they saw five or six people pushing a car from a stone house on the sidelines.
Yue Yun felt funny when he first saw it, but he said that this group was as weak and powerless as the eunuchs in the inner chamberlain, and when he got closer, he saw that these people were all strong men, so he accepted his contempt and took a few steps forward to take a closer look.
After a look, I knew that although the body was wooden, there were many places with iron plates, especially on both sides of the carriage, all of which were decorated with iron sheets, and the shape of the whole body was round and smooth, like a big turtle shell, and the wrapped iron pieces were illuminated by the sun, exuding a cold cold light.
When everyone saw this, they already understood that this big car was not an ordinary vehicle, but had been improved and processed, and the protection was tight, and both sides of the car were equipped with iron armor, which was thick and tight, and arrows could not penetrate at all.
Although they understand, except for a few insiders who know a little about Zhao Huan's intentions, the rest of them are ignorant and don't know what the purpose of creating such a chariot is.
If you are ordered to come to the battlefield for transportation, it will be a big fuss. Moreover, the body is relatively heavy, and it is much faster than manpower to pull it with horses, and it is also slower than ordinary carts, and if it is regarded as a pre-Qin chariot, the style is similar to that of a cart that pulls people and things, and the carriage is open, and it is obviously not possible to fight with the soldiers on board.
Zhao Huan saw that everyone was stunned, and he was very proud in his heart, and immediately said to the person: "Open the car door." ”
The soldier who came over from the cart immediately stepped forward and slammed the door open, and everyone looked at it, but saw that there were two wooden barrels in the body, and a thick bamboo assault rifle was fixed in the middle of the body, and the muzzle of the black hole was facing everyone's chest.
