Chapter 170: Might, not covered
Shen Xiaoyu went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry early on this day, but the porter of the Yamen told Shen Xiaoyu that everyone had just gone out and went to the guard camp outside the city.
"Huh? Why did they all go? Shen Xiaoyu was very puzzled: "What's the situation?" ”
"Except for those who have work in their hands, all the other people who have nothing to do have gone to the guard camp!" The porter said.
Shen Xiaoyu went to take a look first, it was true, usually craftsmen sit there drinking tea and talking about the mountain, but today except for the movement of knocking on the work, it is really deserted.
Shen Xiaoyu went to her own house, and recently she has been coming for a day without a day, and the things in the yamen are always missing the excitement.
But after a while, Wu Yun ran back, opened the door, and saw Shen Xiaoyu here, so he said, "I still went to your house to look for you, but I still found fault!" He didn't expect that Shen Xiaoyu would come to Yamen today.
Shen Xiaoyu asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Let's go, you have to go to the school yard of the guard camp outside the city!" Wu Yun said: "If you hurry up, you can catch up with the people in front of you."
Shen Xiaoyu said: "Is there something wrong with the Xiaowei camp? ”
"The emperor will soon go to the Owl Guard Camp to see the power of the new group of crossbow battalions!" Wu Yun said: "Originally, I thought about going to your house a little bit above you, but you are not at home yet, let's go quickly, talk while walking!" ”
Shen Xiaoyu nodded and followed Wu Yun away.
Shen Xiaoyu came to the yamen by the trail today, otherwise he would have met someone from the Ministry of Industry halfway, which was such an unfortunate situation.
"Lord Yao said that you have made meritorious service this time, and the emperor will definitely reward you, but Lord Yao also said, let you not ask for anything." Wu Yun said, Yao Cheng temporarily instructed him, and when he arrived at the Xiaowei camp for a while, so many people were present, and he couldn't say some words.
Shen Xiaoyu nodded when he heard this: "Oh." ”
"Just a whoop? Don't think it's unfair? Wu Yun said: "If the emperor rewards him, you can be promoted to an official!" ”
Shen Xiaoyu said with a smile: "What's the use of being promoted, why can I still be the prime minister?" And you also know Lord Yao's personality, he didn't let me ask for a reward, there must be a later story! Although she is not an official fan, she is not the kind of person who does good deeds without leaving a name. Yao Cheng won't harm her, she still knows it in her heart. As long as she is obedient, she may get even more benefits!
The two of them ran and ran in a row, and finally joined the large army at the city gate.
Yao Cheng saw that Shen Xiaoyu was coming, so he nodded, and then didn't say anything more.
When he arrived at the school field of the Xiaowei camp, Xiao Xu also led people to reorganize the army, and it was not trivial for the emperor to come, if he was a little lazy, his face would not look good!
The people from the Ministry of Industry found a place to stand by themselves, Xiao Xu looked at it, and calculated the time, the emperor should also come.
Sure enough, with Wei Jingnian's announcement, the emperor arrived!
When Shen Xiaoyu knelt down, she looked at the soldiers lined up next to her, the movements were neat, and she felt that her hairs stood up, which was worthy of an iron-blooded military camp!
The emperor walked slowly, with a soft smile on his face as always, and said directly: "All Aiqing, all the soldiers, let's be even!" "He's here today to see how powerful the new crossbow battalion is.
Yao Cheng and Xiao Xu both stepped forward to wait for the emperor's orders, Wu Yong was not there, and Yao Cheng was left with the final say in the Ministry of Industry.
The emperor nodded, and Wei Jingnian said, "Lord Xiao, you can start." ”
Xiao Xu nodded, and shouted directly: "Line up!" ”
Shen Xiaoyu listened to Xiao Xu's voice, the voice really seemed to come out of the dantian, the school field was very large, and she had tasted the taste of shouting and being dumb last time, but Xiao Xu's voice seemed to be heard clearly for half a mile.
The crossbow and arrow battalion is a total of 3,000 people, Xiao Xu waved the flag in his hand, and the soldiers changed their formation and position according to the flag in Xiao Xu's hand. But after all, there are many people, this walk, not to mention Shen Xiaoyu, the emperor feels that there is sand in his mouth when he gasps.
Shen Xiaoyu was far away, but he still saw that each soldier was carrying two blankets, one on the left and one on the right, so that the problem of arrow supply could also be solved.
Xiao Xu stood on the high platform and threw the small flag, the soldiers of the first array began to release arrows, at first it was a single, the rhythm was very fast, and when the five crossbow arrows in one hand were all released, he put down his arm to reload the arrows, taking advantage of this opportunity, the second array also began to release arrows, this time it was one per person, one person put the second person on the street, and when the fifth person finished, the sixth person and the first person also put it together, at first it looked like it was dripping, but the further back, the more dense the arrows in the air were, and in the end the sky was full of black arrows.
After the second array was released, the emperor's face was still very happy, but when he looked at the third array, he began to be a little worried, after all, the range of this crossbow arrow is related to power, and the last row of arrays is two hundred and fifty steps away from the plank, which is ......
As a result, Xiao Xu threw off the small flag, and all the bows and crossbows of the third array were released, and five of them were fired at a time, and they were overwhelming, and at this time, the filling arrows of the first array and the second array were also completed, and the three arrays bombarded in turn, only listening to the plank, boom, and fell directly!
As soon as the wooden board fell, Shen Xiaoyu was startled, but before he could be shocked, he was choked by the overwhelming dust, and he felt that his throat and eyes were full of sand and dust!
As soon as the east wind blew, the dust finally went away, and Wei Jingnian also wiped his eyes for the emperor, and the emperor was directly confused.
"That's good!" When the emperor was finally able to open his eyes, he shouted hello directly, and Xiao Xu was relieved.
He has also trained this array for several days, and the performance of the bow and crossbow has been mastered, and now that the emperor is satisfied, he can be regarded as having completed the task.
Shen Xiaoyu was actually the most shocked, the power of three thousand crossbow arrows could collapse the three-hundred-meter plank, if it was a person, how many times would they have died!
The emperor stood up very satisfied and said, "I am very satisfied, this time, whether it is the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of War, they are all doing a good job!" ”
When everyone heard this, they had to kneel in a circle, and Shen Xiaoyu also knelt down, and then heard the emperor say: "Since there is merit, it must be rewarded for meritorious deeds!" ”
When Shen Xiaoyu heard this, he looked up at Yao Cheng and found that Yao Cheng was also looking at her, and nodded at her.
The emperor thought about it and said, "Where is Shen Xiaoyu?" ”
Shen Xiaoyu hurriedly lowered his head and knelt down: "Weichen Shen Xiaoyu see the emperor, long live the emperor to play!" ”
When the emperor saw it, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Every time I see you, I have a surprise, let's say, what reward do you want this time?" "For a special talent like Shen Xiaoyu, the official position is not very important to a woman, just look at what Shen Xiaoyu wants, and what he wants.
Shen Xiaoyu still remembered what Wu Yun told her, and hurriedly said: "Weichen is loyal to the country, and it is his duty to offer crossbow arrows, but he really doesn't dare to be greedy for merit, let alone ask for rewards." The front-line soldiers shed their blood for the country, I can do this meager effort, I am already satisfied, how dare I ask for a reward! ”
Shen Xiaoyu's words, Yao Chengdu lowered his head and smiled, he was too good at fooling, what he said made the emperor get a reward even if he didn't want to.
The emperor smiled and said, "You are quite high-spirited, your affairs will be put aside first, and then we will talk about it later!" "After that, I will go to reward others.
Shen Xiaoyu retreated, and then whispered behind Yao Cheng, "My lord, did you say that just now?" ”
"That's a good thing, rest assured, let you refuse the reward in order to have greater wealth." Yao Cheng said: "You are a girl, it is useless to be an official, it is better to ask for something more realistic." ”
When Shen Xiaoyu heard this, he said, "Really? Money? Money too! ”
Yao Cheng shook his head with a wry smile: "Is it so short of money?" I'm talking about something else! ”
"What else? House? That's fine, too! Shen Xiaoyu said with a smile.
Yao Cheng shook his head, this Shen Xiaoyu still doesn't know these ways of this officialdom!
Xiao Xu won the reward, and the emperor directly handed over the newly separated crossbow and arrow battalion to Xiao Xu to manage, which was a great thing for Xiao Xu.
The emperor happily returned to the palace, and before Wei Jingnian left, he came to find Yao Cheng and said: "The emperor knows Lord Yao's intentions, and it is estimated that there will be an echo soon." ”
"Thank you, Grandpa Wei." Yao Cheng clenched his fists and said, what kind of person is Wei Jingnian, if there is no exact news, he will not come over to show this good.
When the emperor and Wei Jingnian left, Shen Xiaoyu said, "My lord, what do you have in mind?" ”
Yao Cheng said: "You are a girl, you don't understand men's ambitions, the Ministry of Industry, after all, is not a place that can get ahead, I have been in this Ministry of Industry for more than 20 years, don't talk about me, Lord Shangshu has survived all his life, and in the end he can only manage the people's livelihood." ”
Shen Xiaoyu doesn't understand, in her opinion, after all, the matter of fighting and killing is still far away from her, and what the people value most is, of course, the issue of people's livelihood.
"If you don't understand, you don't understand, the emperor is gone, should we go too?" Shen Xiaoyu patted the ash on his body, dressed cleanly in the morning, and tossed around, making him disgraced.
Yao Cheng also patted the ashes on his body and said, "If it's okay, you can go home, I'll let Wuyun find you if you have something!" ”
Wu Yun flattened his mouth, making him the same as Shen Xiaoyu's follower......
Shen Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Then let's go back to the city together." ”
Along the way, Wu Yun asked Shen Xiaoyu: "I don't know what reward you can get in the end." ”
"Don't worry, I'll get it sooner or later, but you should be able to reap the benefits this time!" Shen Xiaoyu said.
Wu Yun is naturally happy, this time he will definitely be promoted to a technician and have an official position.
