Nanyuan Arsenal, Beijing.

"My dad was captured?"

Qin Beiyang, who rubbed shoulders with his father again, was like a restless beast

The director of the factory timidly replied: "The White Russian mercenaries from Mukden Province have captured him." ”

"I'm going to Mukden!"

Qin Beiyang carried the Tang knife given to him by his father, led Jiuse, and was about to jump on the military train outside the pass, but was dragged back by Qi Yuanshan: "Beiyang! Don't be impulsive! The armored train has long gone away, and we simply can't catch up. ”

"My father and the tomb beast will definitely not be good if they fall into the hands of the White Russians!"

Qin Beiyang looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and then remembered the real purpose of coming to Beijing this time - the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Back at the looted arsenal, Dr. Holstein finds only a scrapped metal-cutting machine. If it can be repaired, the steam engine can be turned on, and it can change the shape of many metals, and there is no longer the need for the sweaty manual labor of craftsmen. The stonemasons, blacksmiths, and carpenters will have to go home separately, and the next generation will not have to come to learn the craft, and the magic of the ancient mausoleum will be forever lost because of the roar of this machine. What a terrible machine!

"Qin, your father told me that sometimes, he really wants to secretly plant explosives, light the fuse, and send these machines to ......the sky," the doctor pulled Qin Beiyang to speak German, "In the past two months, Lao Qin and I have been transforming tomb beasts on these machines. We opened the shell of the ten horns and seven heads, and found that there were intricate mechanisms inside, and even animal hair and bones that had not yet rotted. ”

"An Lushan was originally a beast?"

Qin Beiyang touched the Tang knife behind his back, and couldn't help but feel a beast-like power, and looked at the nine-colored glass-colored eyeballs.

"I installed an internal combustion engine on the seven heads of the ten corners, made an external fuel tank, and reinforced it with steel plates to form armor so that a single bullet would not explode. Seven heads are equipped with Gatling guns, making them more powerful and nimble killing machines than tanks. I even wanted to copy the Golden Toad Town Tomb Beast in batches, tossing countless days and nights without success. ”

"No! Doctor, the scientific method can only transform and process the Tomb Beast, but it cannot create a real Tomb Beast. Just like no matter how great a warrior is, he can only be born from a woman's belly, not from a machine tool. Because, no one can create the soul of the tomb beast, there must be a real tomb owner. ”

Qin Beiyang remembered the fifth house of the "Nine Palaces of Beast Making", "Seed Soul".

"That's what your father said, too."

"Also, it is the heart of the tomb beast, and it is also the spirit stone that breaks the life of the Qin family."

The doctor nodded frequently and said, "I saw with my own eyes that inside the chest cavity of the ten-horned seven-headed tomb beast, there is a huge stone, which is black and shiny and constantly emits heat energy. Amazing! I asked, where can I mine spirit stones? Your father said that spirit stones can be found but not sought, and it takes decades to find one, and it is definitely not possible to dig it if you want to. ”

Only Qin Beiyang understood that Daddy was not telling the truth, because he didn't want to expose the secret of the Taihang Mountain Spirit Stone.

When he came to the dormitory of the arsenal, he found his father's personal belongings, and even a voucher for saving money in the bank, which Lao Qin had worked hard to save for his son's salary. Qin Beiyang smashed his fist into the wall, and his joints were covered with blood.

Nanyuan, located in the south direction of the capital, was originally the old road of Yongding River, and was a water town with flourishing vegetation in the Liaojin Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty was the royal hunting ground for the release of Haidongqing, and the Ming and Qing dynasties were the Nanhaizi Palace. The Qing Dynasty inspected the Eight Banners here, captive tigers and elk, and Gengzi was hunted and killed by the Eight-Nation Alliance. There is a majestic hilltop house in the park, which has the momentum of the royal palace, and was originally the Tuanhe Palace of the Qing Dynasty.

That night, Wang Shizhen summoned Qi Yuanshan and Qin Beiyang into the palace, looked at the two teenagers and said: "In the battle of Wusongkou, one of you defended the five-color flag at the head of the city, and the other commanded the men and horses to turn defeat into victory, and they all made great contributions, and I want to reward you for your meritorious deeds!" ”

He gave Qi Yuanshan a Belgian-made Browning pistol and Qin Beiyang a pair of military binoculars imported from Germany.

Qi Yuanshan knelt down and thanked him: "Uncle, a pistol, a pair of binoculars, you must have a deep meaning?" ”

"You are a general, you must be an expert in marching and fighting, and the pistol will help you kill the enemy on the battlefield." Wang Shizhen stroked his beard, looked at Qin Beiyang and said, "You have the talent to manipulate weapons, I found that on your way north, pay attention to the situation of the mountains and rivers, and you must have a map in your heart, and the telescope is most worthy of you." ”

Qin Beiyang was a little flustered, but he didn't expect the secret in his heart to be penetrated by the "Dragon of Beiyang", so he could only kneel down and be grateful.

"Do you know who is the person who ransacked the Nanyuan base in the early hours of this morning?"

"Aren't they bandits?"

"That's right, Zhang Zuolin's Fengtian army! But it's Xiao Xu's idea again! Two days ago, they teamed up to rob 27,000 Type 38 rifles imported from Japan by the Beiyang government in Qinhuangdao, which was to force me to resign! ”

"Then another fight!"

Wang Shizhen shook his head and said, "Yuanshan, the sixth division is your father's old army. In the first battle of Wusongkou, although he killed 1,000 enemies, he also injured 800 himself. If you start a war with Guanwai again, won't you lose all the old capital of your direct family? ”

"Uncle, I don't understand, how can you, as the Prime Minister and Minister of the Army, and President Feng Da, be bullied by these little people?

"Anhui has a vast territory, vertical and horizontal, and can mobilize more than a dozen provincial overseers. After Yuan Shikai's death, Beiyang fought in the same room, fought with each other, and both were defeated. The Feng system is entrenched in the three eastern provinces, and it has the support of the Japanese. Anhui Zhifeng three lines, although not as good as Wei, Shu and Wu three parts of the world, but also a separation. My time as the 'Dragon of the North Seas' is numbered, and I will no longer be the Prime Minister. ”

Qi Yuanshan patted the Browning pistol, his eyes were a little red, this was Wang Shizhen's last request before going into the field.

Wang Shizhen continued: "After the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, Yuan Shikai, who came back from North Korea, learned from the pain and trained in the small station in Tianjin, so that he had the 'Beiyang Three Heroes', the current Beiyang government. Don't we want to defeat Japan? I dreamed of a snow before the noon, and even to recover Taiwan. Helplessly, China declined, and even the best Beiyang soldiers were put on the European battlefield and disappeared in an instant. ”

"But if there is a tomb beast, what if you don't know?"
