Chapter 4007: Encountering Qualcomm Conspiracy Craftsman
readx;? Longguan was almost beaten to ruins, and although every day the truce would plunge into a brief period of peace, driving both the people and auxiliaries to the battlefield to pick up the corpses and give the dead a decent look, but in the final battle, because the Mongols retreated in a hurry, leaving more than 2,000 corpses!
The little grass soaked in blood struggled to raise its head in the blood, bathed in the spring sun, greedily absorbing the energy of the sun, trying to accumulate enough strength to try to straighten its waist. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info in ΔΔ文网ん.
Dali's cavalry continued to return triumphantly from outside, and the back of the horse team dragged groups of bloodstained Mongol soldiers, as if they were showing off their brilliant achievements to the world.
For the people of Dali, who have lived and worked in peace and contentment for too long, this victory was not easy to come by, and it can leave a strong mark on the history books of Dali.
Dali's army gradually returned to Longguan, reorganized slightly, put on bright and shiny armor, and took a large number of prisoners of war and booty, ready to embark on the journey back to the dynasty.
Duan Xingzhi, the king of Dali, and Gao Taixiang, as well as the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, have all returned to the royal capital in advance, and they are going to be there to greet the triumphant Dali army, and the people of the Ministry of Rites have also prepared to celebrate and pay tribute to the ancestors of the Taimiao.
The person responsible for staying to guard Longguan was Gao Chi, the general who had suffered defeat under the hands of the Mongols and lost Huichuan and other places, and led thousands of monks and soldiers to intercept and kill the Mongolian soldiers at the foot of Cangshan Mountain.
Gao Taixiang is a cautious person, he sent countless scouts, and the information transmitted from all sides is showing that the result is that the Mongols really retreated!
Qualcomm is standing on the ruins of Longguan at this time, and the royal capital has already recruited people for 6 consecutive years, and it is necessary to seize the time to repair this Xiongguan, and even widen and expand.
The artillery on the last wall was also transferred to the first wall, because the city wall had been collapsed by the Mongols, so the artillery was moved to the slopes on both sides of the pass and placed on temporary forts.
Qualcomm walked up the hillside, and the artillerymen and the soldiers guarding the battery hurriedly saluted him, but Qualcomm only waved his hand, signaling that the artillerymen should ignore him.
However, the artillerymen seemed a little embarrassed, and Qualcomm couldn't help frowning, although these artillerymen suddenly became the upstart of Dali and became a respected technical class, but they are also generals, can they even be proud of these artillerymen in front of themselves after losing power!
The artillerymen saw Qualcomm's displeasure, and they suddenly came to their senses, and couldn't help but turn their eyes to the rear of the battery.
Gao Tong glanced at the artillerymen, but saw a young man in a white spring coat and a black robe, and a craftsman with a black beard, inspecting the artillery.
The young man's long drape was scattered, and he was casually held with a finger-thick hemp rope, which seemed very casual and free.
Qualcomm finally understood why the artillerymen did not dare to speak out, because this young man, even he, the general who participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Mongolian deserters at the end, also recognized him, he was the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty who brought victory to the people of Dali, Yang Jing.
Yang Jing did not follow the envoys back to the royal capital, not because he was pretending, nor because he was sulking or complaining.
First, he didn't want everyone to fall into an embarrassing situation, so he stayed on the grounds of overhauling the artillery, and secondly, because after hearing Lu Baiyu talk about the stabbing that day, he wanted to stay and find out where the Ji Jin who saved him was hiding.
It's a pity that Yang Jing also knows very well in his heart that Lin Jue led the secret inspectors of the Imperial City Division to rummage through the entire Juzhou radius and even Kuizhou Road, but he still can't find her, as long as Ji Jin has the intention to hide, how can he Yang Jing find her?
Besides, what if you find it?
So Yang Jing did not continue to search, but focused his work on the research of artillery.
The success of this artillery is due to the fact that in addition to Dali's efforts to make the whole country, there is also a lot of luck.
Because when he and Du Kefeng inspected these artillery, they found that cracks had already appeared in key parts such as the chamber, and it was also a loss to the Mongols to retreat, otherwise the artillery would soon be in danger of exploding again if it was used again.
Although Dali's smelting and forging technology has been quite mature, the new explosive is a smokeless gunpowder made by Du Kefeng according to Yang Jing's recipe and using pyrite to make sulfuric acid, this gunpowder is used on bullets, and the explosive power can be imagined.
It is understandable that these iron cannons cannot withstand the power of gunpowder.
Although Yang Jing told him a lot, due to his lack of experience, many technicians and craftsmen were injured in the process of extracting sulfuric acid, and only after using the pain of skin did they realize the characteristics of sulfuric acid.
Because Yang Jing once told him that the formula must be kept secret and the ratio cannot be leaked, Du Kefeng did not dare to disclose it.
The use of sulfuric acid is a matter that requires great caution, and if Du Kefeng operates it alone, he will not be able to prepare enough gunpowder in the year of the monkey.
Therefore, Du Kefeng had no choice but to ask 6 Chang'an to hand over all the accompanying secret inspectors to him for scheduling, but even so, he could not meet the workload, so Du Kefeng had to let 6 Chang'an persuade some craftsmen to join the ranks of secret inspectors and let them follow Yang Jing.
At first, these craftsmen were a little reluctant, but now they can see the artillery they made to save Dali from danger, and the real hero is Yang Jing who they serve, and they finally follow Yang Jing with joy and sincerity.
There are about 50 craftsmen in this part, all of whom are the best among the Dali craftsmen, and some are even grandmaster-level craftsmen.
6 Chang'an is already an old stall leader, since he wants to recruit helpers for Yang Jing, he naturally has to recruit grandmaster-level figures, whether it is coercion or sweet words, in short, the secret inspector of the Imperial City Division wants to recruit a person, and there are very few unsuccessful examples.
Yang Jing and Du Kefeng inspected the artillery at this time, which was to prepare for how to take these craftsmen away, and when the time came, Yang Jing could completely let Gao Taixiang personally inspect the damage of these artillery, and then bring those craftsmen back to Dali, and in the name of the Great Song Dynasty for further study.
After the assassination two days ago, Yang Jing also became more vigilant, and when Qualcomm appeared in the fort, Yang Jing had actually seen his arrival.
Yang Jing also had some sympathy for the general of Dali, because Qualcomm's defeat in Huichuan and Sanzhi and other places was in the face of the Mongols in their heyday, and the defeat was a matter of course.
But there is no harm if there is no comparison, and the defeat in the final battle turned into a victory, making the defeated Qualcomm a coward's footnote, but Gao Taixiang in order to show his reliance on Qualcomm and in order to get back some face for him, he asked him to guard Longguan and actively train his troops to recover the lost territories in the north.
Yang Jing and Qualcomm only met on the day when King Dali returned to the royal capital in his royal car, but they only exchanged a few words of greeting, and did not have too much intersection.
Qualcomm can be reused by Gao Taixiang, and he is not a reckless martial artist, so he immediately took the initiative to greet Yang Jing.
It turned out to be Lord Yang, but it was abrupt
Yang Jing also smiled and said: It's okay, General Gao is out to inspect?
Qualcomm smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: The Mongolians have all retreated, and there are still very good patrols, just come out for a walk and breathe
Yang Jing saw that Qualcomm was very depressed, and it was not easy to talk, after all, this was related to the interests of Dali's court, and he was an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, so it was inconvenient to express his opinion.
Qualcomm also knew that he was acting a little stingy, and immediately changed the topic and said: Lord Yang is really a genius, if it weren't for Lord Yang's artillery, the Mongolian barbarians might not have retreated, and if I Gao also had Lord Yang's help, how could I be defeated
Seeing Gao Tong's long sigh, Yang Jing's mind came alive, and he comforted him first: General Gao was facing a strong Mongolian army at the beginning, and it was really not easy to keep the main force of the army alive, and General Gao couldn't be arrogant
Qualcomm saw that Yang Jing was giving himself a reason, and he couldn't help but feel good, although these are well-known facts, but the people in the Dali court chose to ignore it, Yang Jing was the first person to say it so openly.
Yang Jing continued: In fact, General Gao needs to guard Longguan, and seeing that he is going north to regain the lost territory, now that the Mongolian crowd is gone, the main force is let Guiyou bring back to the imperial court to compete for the throne, if General Gao has the heart to act, it is not difficult to recover the lost land
When Qualcomm heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hugged his fist at Yang Jing and said: Please also ask Lord Yang to give me advice!
Yang Jing smiled and said nothing, glanced at the artillerymen and guards, Gao Tong waved his hand, and those people retreated in amusement.
Yang Jing said with a smile: General, these artillery pieces need fixed batteries, but the general needs to know that this Du supervisor under his own command has also created a lot of projected pear blossom thunder and earth-shaking thunder, and there are still a lot of survivors, if General Gao can get some from Xiangguo, let alone Huichuan and Sanzhi, it is further north, and they can all be recovered together!
Yang Jing is worried about how to get those craftsmen over, but now he meets Qualcomm, but it is a good opportunity.
As long as Gao Tong asks Gao Taixiang for firearms, Gao Taixiang can't not give them in order to recover the lost territory, and if he wants to use firearms, he must be equipped with people from the firearms battalion.
If it can recover the lost ground, Qualcomm will definitely be able to return to the core of power, and naturally repay Yang Jing, Yang Jing wants more than 50 craftsmen, Qualcomm can't not give it, besides, when the time comes, Du Kefeng can also choose the same number of ordinary craftsmen and replace these 50 craftsmen, which can be regarded as a good strategy for Li Dai Taozhuang.
Qualcomm is also a smart person, and immediately said to Yang Jing: That is the case, I hope that Lord Yang will say a few good words for Gao, Gao is grateful, but Lord Yang has a useful place, just inform him!
Yang Jing smiled and said to Gaotong: The general is the mainstay of the Dali army, and when Yang returns to the royal capital, he must talk to Xiangguo well, and Yang may not dare to speak about other things, but when it comes to firearms, Yang still has some weight to speak
Hearing Yang Jing say this, Qualcomm was also relieved, and was about to invite Yang Jing to a banquet in the city, but saw a herald with a yellow corner flag on his back, riding a horse, and stopped in front of the fort in a hurry!
Lord Yang is here? Xiangguo and the envoy have an urgent report, please Lord Yang leave immediately and return to the royal capital!
Yang Jing saw that the herald was anxious, and he also frowned, now that the Mongols have retreated, it can be said that everything is good, what kind of moth has happened to the king?
