Three days later, news came out in the palace that the Son of Heaven issued an edict to entitle Zhao Zongshi as the general of the right guard and the training envoy of the Yuezhou regiment, and at the same time named Zhao Wenyun, another three-year-old young son of the imperial family, as the general of the Zuo Yulin Army, and handed over to Zhang Guifei to raise.

For a time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar, and the long-rumored things were confirmed, Empress Cao and Concubine Zhang Guifei each had adopted sons, and the heir of the Son of Heaven became confusing.

However, Zhao Zongshi was named the general of the right guard and the training envoy of the Yuezhou regiment, which still made many people who supported him secretly happy, at least Zhao Zongshi returned to the sight of the Son of Heaven.

This morning, Fan Ning arrived at Taixue early, he went to Juyuan first, and found that several juniors and disciples had already gone to school, and the dormitory door was locked, which made Fan Ning a little strange, it was not class time yet, why did they all leave?

"Why is Senior Brother here?"

Fan Ning turned around and saw Duan Yu standing behind him with a stack of books, Fan Ning smiled: "Why are you the only one, how many of them?" ”

"This morning, Hu Daru is going to give a lecture on Shangshu, and they have all gone to occupy a seat, so I'll come back and get the book!"

Duan Yu opened the courtyard door and went into the room to get the book, Fan Ning looked at the door, the yard was quite clean and tidy, and a rope was full of clothes.

At this time, Duan Yu hurriedly came out of the room and said with a smile: "Why don't Senior Brother go to the class with us!" ”

Fanning shook his head, "I'm not going, you can go quickly!" ”

"Then senior brother will see you later!"

Fanning nodded, "See you later!" ”

He looked at Duan Yu flying away, as long as these five guys can study hard in Taixue for two years with peace of mind, I believe that their studies will definitely improve greatly, and studying in the capital can expand their horizons, which will be of great benefit to their examination and thesis.

At this time, the bell for class rang, and Fanning also turned and walked towards his official room.

At the door of the official room in the library, Fan Ning unexpectedly met Zhao Zongshi, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a while.

"Why is Brother Zhao here? By the way, I should congratulate Brother Zhao on his ascension. Fanning smiled and arched his hand.

Zhao Zongshi smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Don't laugh at me, I have something important to look for you!" ”

Fan Ning saw that Zhao Zongshi looked a little nervous, so he smiled and said, "Then go in and sit!" ”

The two walked into the official room, Fanning closed the door, waved his hand and said, "Let's sit down and talk!" ”

Zhao Zongshi glanced at the door vigilantly, moved the chair to the window, and then sat down.

Fan Ning couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "This guy is quite vigilant, this is a library, and the highest official is the Jiupin official, who are they leaking secrets to?" ”

Fanning shook his head, sat down in his chair, and smiled, "Say it! What's the matter? ”

Zhao Zongshi whispered: "Tomorrow the official family will summon me!" ”

"Didn't the Son of Heaven summon you in the past two days?"

"No, it's just that a few days ago, I was suddenly confined, but there was no summons."

"So what are you worried about?"

Fan Ning smiled and asked, "Are you worried about Zhang Guifei's adopted son?" ”

"That's not it, I knew in advance and wouldn't care too much about it, but what I'm worried about is what the official family summoned me for?" Zhao Zongshi asked uneasily.

Fan Ning knew it, he smiled, "Actually, it's a good thing that the official family summoned you this time, you have to be mentally prepared, you may have to leave home for a few months." ”

Zhao Zongshi's spirits perked up, it seemed that Fan Ning knew what was going on, and he hurriedly asked, "Can you tell me first, let me prepare a little in advance." ”

Fan Ning thought about it, and told Zhao Zongshi about the establishment of an overseas horse breeding base, Zhao Zongshi was dumbfounded when he heard it, and only after a while did he say: "Does the official family want me to be in charge of this matter?" ”

Fan Ning nodded slowly, "This matter is related to the Great Song Dynasty, it is a trust in you to make you responsible, it is estimated that in three or five years, you will always be busy with this matter, you must seize this opportunity, and you can only succeed, not fail!" ”

Zhao Zongshi sat for a moment, and he suddenly made up his mind, "I understand, I must do this well and live up to the hopes of the official family." ”

Fan Ning hurriedly whispered: "This matter is still confidential, you can't know, don't say it tomorrow, if you accidentally say it, you will say that Cao Tong has come to you." ”

"Uncle Guo?" Zhao Zongshi was stunned.

Fanning smiled and nodded, "He will be your deputy and go to sea with you." ”

"I see, I won't say leaky, don't worry!"

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by a knock on the door.

"Inspector Fan, there is something important!"

Fan Ning stepped forward and opened the door, only to see Feng Zhenliao, the head of the store, standing outside, followed by several officials.

"Feng Zhangku, who are they?"

An official stepped forward and saluted with a fist, "We are from the Ordnance Supervisor, Supervisor Luo invites you to come over." ”

..........

The ordnance supervisor came to find him, Fanning naturally thought of the new crossbow, he got into the carriage of the ordnance superintendent, the carriage started to drive outside the north city, passing by the Great Xiangguo Temple, Fanning suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted: "First go to the East Ertiao Sweet Water Lane, I'll go get something!" ”

He just remembered that the item he had made at the craftsman of Higashi-Nijo Sweetwater Lane should have been ready, and he could use it when he went to the crossbow workshop outside the city.

The carriage turned around and headed east for the two Sweetwater alleys, and in a short time, Fanning retrieved the goods, and the carriage continued northward.

In the carriage, Fanning carefully fiddled with the iron bore and gears built by the old craftsman, which can be called exquisite, Fanning didn't know how the old craftsman created it, smooth and neat, there was no spear thorn on the edge, it was like cutting it with a machine tool, the five gears were packed in the iron bore, and the fit was perfect, and the big gear was gently turned, and the other four pinions began to rotate smoothly.

There is a shaft with holes on the outside of the iron chamber, which is easy to insert into the holes with copper rods, and it is easy to operate, and with this core part, the Divine Arm Crossbow can be built.

The Ordnance Supervisor has more than 20 workshops in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty, creating various military materials from flags, war drums to weapons and armor and even warships, etc., with nearly 50,000 craftsmen, including eight workshops outside the north of the capital city, with 10,000 craftsmen, and the Jingshi Bow and Crossbow Courtyard is one of them, with 1,000 and 42 archers and crossbow arrows.

The highest official of the ordnance supervisor is called Luo Jun, he is the official commander of the Xiangdu soldiers and horses, and he knows the ordnance superintendent, he previously accepted the holy will, and used a drawing of unknown origin to build a new crossbow, how could he do it for a few days, and he still did not know the trick in the key place, which made him very upset, he gave the official family a ten-day promise, if he couldn't do it, how to explain it to the official.

Fortunately, there was 'Guozijian Fanning' on the drawings, and he heard that Fanning was a new science and technology jinshi, the first place in the children's department, and was currently serving as an inspector in Guozijian, so he asked Fanning to come and give advice.

Luo Jun was drinking tea in the room, and someone outside the door reported, "Inspector Fan has arrived." ”

Luo Jun hurriedly greeted him, only to see several officials walking around a tall young man, Luo Jun didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "The lower officials have been looking forward to Inspector Fan for a long time?" ”

Fanning smiled and asked, "But the new crossbow has been created?" ”

Luo Jun looked ashamed, sighed and said: "Most of them have been built, but they are stumped at the key point, that is, those few gears, Inspector Fan's drawings are not very clear?" ”

Fanning was stunned, why can't you make drawings yet?

He thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood that the drawings he gave to the Son of Heaven were full crossbow drawings, which were indeed not clear in some details, but the drawings for the old craftsman were partially enlarged drawings, and the old craftsman could of course make them.

Thinking of this, Fan Ning smiled apologetically: "I just showed a full map to the Son of Heaven, but I didn't expect him to order you to build it, and there is actually a partial mechanism map." ”

Fan Ning took out a drawing from his arms, and handed the iron chamber to Luo Jun together, "This is a partial mechanism diagram, this iron chamber is a model I asked an old craftsman to build, you can refer to it." ”

Luo Jun was overjoyed, with this detailed diagram and references, they were able to create a new crossbow.

"Thank you Inspector Fan for your guidance at the key point, you will be able to test the crossbow in three days!"

After a pause, Luo Jun smiled again: "This new crossbow has no name yet, Inspector Fan might as well give it a new name." ”

Fan Ning smiled slightly: "This crossbow is like a god's arm strength, I think it's called a god's arm crossbow!" ”

．．．．．．．

Three days later, Zhao Zhen, the Son of Heaven, drove to the bow and crossbow courtyard to watch the guards shoot crossbows, and one of the guards could wind them with the strength of their feet and arms, and use the principle of gears and levers to buckle the bow and arrow to the crossbow teeth.

The guards shot a long distance with their crossbows, and one hundred and fifty paces away, the crossbow arrows pierced through the iron armor of a pair of Khitan cavalry.

Immediately, another guard raised his crossbow and shot through the iron armor of a Western Xia cavalry.

Ten arrows and ten piercing, the arrow does not need to be sent, Zhao Zhen was overjoyed, and personally inscribed the name of the crossbow, "God Arm Crossbow".

At the same time, it was ordered to reward Fan Ning, the inventor of this crossbow, with two thousand taels of gold, and the official was promoted to one level.
