Chapter 117: Talking about the Art of War

Inside the wings.

Qin Huaidao didn't think much about Li Jing's inquiry, this kind of thing was often done in the discussion session of the tactics class in the past, and said with a smile: "Fighting after battle, the art of war is constant; The use of wonderful, in one mind, put it as the best policy. ”

"Battle after battle, the art of war?"

"How wonderful is the use, but there is one mind?"

Li Jing chewed on these two sentences, and suddenly thundered in his mind, and many confusions and confusions in the past suddenly collapsed, suddenly brightened, his eyes shining, as if he saw a soldier's avenue, and muttered to himself: "How wonderful is the use, with one heart?" The use of wonderful, with one mind! I see, I see! ”

The next moment, Li Jing got up and solemnly saluted Qin Huaidao: "This is a great goodness, a clear and righteous statement, and a word that breaks the essence of the soldier's family, can be the standard of the art of war, thank you for teaching!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare-" Qin Huaidao was startled, as for it? Hurriedly said: "When the world is not praised, the younger generation just thinks that there is no fixed law of war, when it changes due to time, place, person, and weapon, it is impossible to follow the rules and regulations, and it is immutable, especially after the innovation of weapons, the tactics need to be updated." ”

"Worthy of it, there is a sequence in the art industry, and the master is the teacher, but this is due to the time, place, and person, and the old man understands, what is the explanation for this change due to the instrument?" Li Jing asked curiously, his eyes lit up, and he unnaturally communicated with Qin Huaidao as a fellow Taoist.

Qin Huaidao is also a soldier, he likes to talk about the military, he didn't think much about it, and explained: "Shibo, the advantage of weapons can change the situation of the war, and the tactics will inevitably change, such as the early chariots swept the world, and the chariots retreated gloomily after the cavalry came out, and like the benefits of Qin's crossbows, swept the world, no one could stop it, it can be seen that weapons can influence the battlefield, but it is people who decide the victory, so the use of the art of war is wonderful, and it is in one mind." ”

"Hahaha, this is a great good, just by virtue of this, the soldier should have a place for you, the old man's art of war now seems to have many deficiencies, when it is modified, it will be sent to you tomorrow to see and discuss it!" Li Jing praised in surprise, forgetting that he was still thinking about passing on the mantle just now, but now he has become a consultant.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Qin Huaidao was taken aback, not that he was afraid, although he was not familiar with the ancient tactics, but they were similar, talking on paper, it was not a big problem to make some suggestions, and the key was not free.

"That's it." Li Jing was a little excited, and wanted to say something more.

Qin Huaidao realized that he had blown his head too much, and quickly changed the topic: "Shibo, let's divide the soldiers into two ways, continue the trial, strive to take them all tonight, and report it tomorrow, how about convicting them?" ”

"Good!" Li Jing agreed.

The simultaneous interrogation is much more efficient.

After more than an hour, everyone was tried, but Cui Shihai was not interrogated, before the time came, Qin Huaidao arranged for several guards to send Li Jing away and continue to deal with affairs, where the guards slept, how to solve the meal, where to set up a whistle, which rooms to keep and what to do, etc., all need to be arranged.

It was busy until the ugly hour, that is, between one and three o'clock in the morning, there was no clock, so it could only be roughly estimated that Qin Huaidao returned home alone after saying goodbye to everyone, but turned around the corner, blended himself into the shadows, and went straight to the direction of Dongshi along the streets and alleys.

There were a lot of patrols along the way, Qin Huaidao carefully avoided it, hid if he couldn't avoid it, and waited for the patrol team to pass before continuing to hurry, unknowingly came to the vicinity of the red boat, and hid in the shadows to observe.

The surroundings were quiet, there was no figure, the surrounding houses were also pitch black, and the Wanhualou and Tianxian Towers in the distance were red, but they were also quiet.

Qin Huaidao rushed over and quickly got on the red boat.

The ship was empty, and the silence was terrifying.

Qin Huaidao smeared in, came to the cabin room by the faint moonlight, pried open the planks on the ship, saw that the box containing the silver was still there, opened it and saw that the gold cake and silver were inside, and sure enough, as he expected, the place where the silver was hidden was secret, and no one knew to take it away while it was chaotic.

Originally, Qin Huaidao didn't want to touch this ill-gotten gain, and planned to get compensation through formal and legal means, those who were killed had to be compensated, and it was impossible for him to just settle his losses, but Li Er didn't let him check, who was he looking for?

Ill-gotten gains, just to help the poor!

Qin Huaidao found a piece of cloth and spread it out, poured the gold cake and silver on the cloth, tied it in a knot and tied it behind him, and then put the box back, the boat board recovered, and left quickly.

Along the way, Qin Huaidao hurried cautiously and did not reveal his identity.

Even when he returned to the mansion, he didn't call the door, and cautiously climbed over the wall to enter, so as not to expose his ill-gotten gains, who knows who the people in the mansion are Li Er's secret spy? Don't be careful.

When I returned to the backyard, I saw that He'er's room was still lit with red candles not far away, and I didn't know if I had slept, so I didn't bother, so I quickly entered the house, lit the red candle lighting, took off the package, and counted it on the table, the gold cake and silver all added up to more than eight thousand taels, and with this silver, Qinjiazhuang could last a long time.

"If you don't check, you won't check, it's also trouble-free, anyway, the murderer has been punished, and the people behind it will take their time!" Qin Huaidao was in a much better mood, hid the silver, and slept.

Early the next morning, Qin Huaidao came to the restaurant to prepare something to eat, and He'er saw Qin Huaidao's eyes light up, and happily ran to the kitchen to bring some breakfast to serve.

After the meal, Qin Huaidao was about to go out, and when he saw He'er's bored face, he said, "He'er, clean up, how about taking you out for a walk in an hour?" ”

"Really? That's great. He'er said excitedly.

"An hour later, the blacksmith in the west courtyard came looking for me." Qin Huaidao dropped a sentence and left.

When I came to the West Courtyard, I saw that Uncle Ma was busy, so I walked up and asked, "Uncle Ma, what's wrong?" ”

"I've seen the young master, I've done some, please check the young master." Uncle Ma hurriedly saluted.

Qin Huaidao looked at the finished honeycomb coal mold, the style was a little rougher, but it could be used, the size of each part was basically the same, put his mind at ease, and said, "Uncle Ma, help me do it and make individual ones." ”

"Whoa!" Uncle Ma hurriedly agreed.

Qin Huaidao found clay, fine sand, etc., kneaded it into a mud ball with water, and then made a ring that was bulging in the middle and concave on the periphery, and then selected three places to press it down, with the same depth and size.

Then it is to burn the fire to smelt the iron, with coke, a few days ago Uncle Ma from Qinjiazhuang transported, the temperature is much higher than charcoal, and so the iron is melted into the molten iron and poured into the mold, and when the molten iron is dry, it forms a hollow iron ring sheet, which is very rough and has a lot of particles on the surface.

This hollow iron ring piece can be placed on the stove in the future, and the three parts of the depression are turned over to be three support points, which can support clay pots and other utensils to form a gap, facilitate the entry of air, avoid crushing the fire, and the hollow part is slightly larger than the honeycomb coal, which is convenient for putting briquettes in the future.

The iron ring piece cannot be less, but it can be used, and it does not need to be exquisite.

Qin Huaidao advised: "Uncle Ma, this thing is directly smelted and cast with molten iron, the surface is slightly smoother, there is no need to consider the impurities and tenacity contained in it, arrange people to purchase a large number of ordinary iron materials, no need for refined iron materials, save a little, cast a thousand pieces first, and the government can help with all the transfers." ”

"Remembered." Uncle Ma hurriedly said.

"This is a thousand taels, take it and use it first, and then go back and reconcile it with Uncle Jia." Qin Huaidao took out a bag of silver and threw it over, and saw He'er happily running to find it, and continued: "Uncle Ma, thank you for your hard work, let people inform Uncle Jia, and transfer some more people from Qinjiazhuang to help, you must be fast." ”

"Whoa!" Uncle Ma replied solemnly.

Qin Huaidao greeted him and smiled at He'er: "Come on, go back to the room first." ”

"Did you drop something?" He'er asked curiously, a heart has flown to the street, usually in the house, and there is no need to even do purchases, it is difficult to go to the house.

"Take some silver, it's useful." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

Back in the room, He'er waited at the door very sensibly, Qin Huaidao went in and took some gold cakes and silver that came by the way last night, put them in a bag, and then went out, there were some things to do.
