Chapter 36 Bandit and Robber Huang Chongzhen
Yuan Chonghuan couldn't find a flaw in it, so he had to say in a low voice: "Do you know how important a blacksmith shop is to a military city that is in the midst of war and is under siege? ”
"Mark it to know." Huang Chongzhen leaned slightly sideways and patted the Hongyi cannon behind him like a brother, and said: "There is no other appeal under the mark, I just want to forge a suitable gun carriage for these big guys." ”
Yuan Chonghuan held back his anger and said: "I have already said that the gap in the city wall is a natural artillery mount, otherwise there is a special artillery battery, why bother?"
The so-called gun carriage also knows, but it is just a forked bracket like a tiger squat cannon, and it is just a good little tiger, dressed more like a big dog, is there any meaning? ”
Huang Chongzhen knew that Yuan Chonghuan had to pass this level, so he explained seriously: "The handsome man doesn't know anything. The gun carriage to be forged under the mark is an overall system tailored for the Hongyi cannon.
There are horizontal axes, vertical lines, iron wheels, iron wheels, small toothed turntables, which are called gears, and rotating wheel axle devices that can control the angle of cannon fire.
After so many parts are precisely forged and assembled, it is a complete gun carriage. Its most important function, in addition to this, is that it can carry more than several tons of guns, which can be easily moved.
At that time, there will no longer be a dozen or so strong men who push and drag hard, but only need two or three soldiers to push behind, and the effect of moving the gun body and adjusting the gun position can be quickly achieved. ”
The more Yuan Chonghuan listened, the more angry he became, and finally said angrily: "Nonsense, how can there be such a magical thing in this world? ”
Huang Chongzhen was stunned and said: "My Chinese ancestors have invented and used it for thousands of years, isn't this the reason for the carriage?" ”
"Horse ...... Carriage? Yuan Chonghuan felt that as a Confucian student, it was a bit embarrassing to open his mouth so big that he could fit two eggs.
But the theories and facts expounded by this kid are so amazing that even those who are as elegant as him want to jump and scold.
Zu Dashou is the most understanding and handsome, stepped forward and slapped Huang Chongzhen on the back of the neck, and said angrily: "Are you kid bullying my ancestor for being uneducated?" You just said that the gun truck didn't get it?
Open your mouth and shut up the gun carriage, who would have thought what it was! ”
In Yuan Chonghuan's black line, Huang Chongzhen repeatedly confessed: "Blame me, blame me, blame me for failing to express it clearly, and ask the marshal and the general to forgive me." ”
As he spoke, he looked at his most beloved Yuan Dashuai.
Yuan Dashuai waved his hand irritably, and scolded angrily and with a smile: "You kid is also a busy life, go to the blacksmith shop you have in mind to strike iron!" If you can't forge the gun carriage you said, Lao Tzu will punish you! ”
"Mark the writ of the will!" Huang Chongzhen "snapped" and stood upright, and his sudden solemn posture scared Yuan Zu and the others a lot.
Yuan Chonghuan still couldn't hold back after all, stepped forward and smashed his fist on his stocky shoulder, and said angrily: "Get out!" Lao Tzu is a dignified envoy from afar, rare for your military order for a small soldier? Get out of here with this token! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Mark the guilty! Mark the guilty! Huang Chongzhen climbed in a row, and in the good-natured laughter of the soldiers, he rushed towards the blacksmith shop in the south of the city.
After Zhou Ji obtained Zu Dashou's consent with his eyes, he hurriedly followed.
The gun carriage is easy to say, but if you really want to forge it, every process is very particular.
Therefore, it is not as easy as it sounds.
Although he learned to strike iron with his lame adoptive father when he was very young, he still came out of the blue in the process of helping the villagers repair farm tools.
But at this time, whether the Huaxia blacksmith craft can carry the simplest gun mount theory, to be honest, Huang Chongzhen is not completely sure, but he has to try it anyway, even if he is really punished by Yuan Chonghuan because of this.
The south of the city is the area that Zu Dashou is responsible for guarding, so the blacksmith shop is also guarded by his ancestors' own soldiers.
The so-called ancestral family soldiers are actually this guy's family, and Huang Chong really knows this.
After a careful examination of their identities, the two were able to enter the blacksmith shop located in the center of the south of the city.
When the door was opened and the curtain was lifted, the scorching breath hit the face, contrasting with the bitter cold outside.
In addition, both blacksmiths and apprentices were extremely eager to win the battle of Ningyuan, so they were full of enthusiasm in their own ways and carried out their work in full swing.
The sound of clanging iron was incessant, and seeing this hot energy, the two teenagers felt that the fatigue of the day of the battle had been swept away, and they couldn't help but want to join in.
But Zhou Ji didn't know how to pick a hammer, and after observing it enviously, he had no choice but to look at Huang Chongzhen.
"The hormones in the ancient blacksmith shop are far superior to the modern gym." But when he heard the latter say something he didn't understand, even the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.
"Huh?" Zhou Ji couldn't help but be extremely surprised.
"Hahaha, trachoma, no wonder."
Huang Chongzhen laughed, and after the scorching heat dried up the little moisture in his eyes, he stepped forward and said politely to an old blacksmith: "Hello, can I try it?" ”
When the old blacksmith heard this, he glanced at him and saw that it was a large-headed soldier dressed in coarse cloth, with a simple hilt of his sword on his back.
Although he didn't scold angrily, his tone was also a little unkind, and he said, "Young man, if you want to smash the field, the old man advises you to change places." Although the blacksmith is humble, it is not a job that no one can do.
Judging by your age, you should still be a newcomer to the army, even if your hands can hold the sword, but you may not be able to hold the hammer, even if you hold it, you may not be able to move, even if you can move, it is still 108,000 miles away from forging......"
Huang Chongzhen, who respects the old and loves the young, doesn't know what this guy is talking about relying on the old and selling the old woman's mother.
But time was precious, so he snatched the hammer from his hand with skill, and said in an extremely arrogant manner: "Lao Tzu asked you to see what the real forging technique is." ”
"Ouch." The old blacksmith exclaimed, "There are even people who want to rob the hammer these days," and shouted, "Come on!" Someone smashed the field! ”
The blacksmiths of all sizes who were naked immediately surrounded them, and the sweat flowing down the bulging chest muscles and eight-pack abs was really a bit of a visual impact.
Zhou Ji was furious, sacrificed the token that Huang Chongzhen threw to him, and shouted: "Yuan Shuai's edict is here, who dares to be presumptuous?" ”
"Well, let's wait and see the show." The old blacksmith was surprised and did not talk nonsense, and when he stepped aside, he took the kettle and drank it heartily, while the other blacksmiths also folded their hands and prepared to read the joke.
But the first thing they saw was that the young big-headed soldier took off his shirt, tied a knot around his waist, and pulled a handful of hair with a straw rope at will, showing no less than their chest, abdomen, shoulders and arm muscles.
Then, there was a slight and skillful blacksmithing skill, which made all the blacksmiths show a dignified color, and they no longer dared to despise him.
And then there was great surprise, and then there was a deep respect.
Because, while Huang Chongzhen wielded the half-finished large iron sword in his left hand with the hammer, he also explained the skills, theoretical knowledge, and precautions of striking iron based on the techniques of forging in this era according to the speculation.
These are truths that have been tested by the rigorous science of the 22nd century.
Therefore, although it seems a little clever and even profound, it can just be understood by some of these blacksmiths, and can also be accepted and melted by the wrought iron skills of this era.
Especially, it is the old blacksmith who holds the kettle and drinks the water like a drinker.
He is the most skilled master in Nancheng and even Ningyuan, Huang Chongzhen's theories are in his ears, and they are immediately like a law, ten thousand laws, so that the already clever skills have a tendency to accumulate and thin.
The rest of the masters, who had been steadily practicing and practiced a lot of skills, were suddenly enlightened by many things that they had been puzzled about in the past, and who still did not understand even after consulting the old blacksmith.
After all, Huang Chongzhen's language expression ability is comparable to that of an old blacksmith who has never been to a private school.
It didn't take long for the half-punched iron sword to be completely completed.
Huang Chongzhen held it in his hand and pulled out a few sword flowers, which made the scorching air look a little murderous.
"It's not bad, it's about thirty pounds." He nodded with satisfaction, then casually threw it to a small blacksmith nearby, and said, "Lao Tzu wants it, you are responsible for forging the scabbard for Lao Tzu." ”
The little blacksmith grinned at the sudden weight, but he stubbornly held it up.
The old blacksmith hurriedly came over and said, "No! This is a sword forged for General Man! ”
Huang Chongzhen said angrily: "Why is General Man dissatisfied with the general, Yuan Shuai's edict is here, this sword Lao Tzu wants it, didn't you hear it clearly, old man?" ”
"Is this kid a bandit or a robber!" The old blacksmith wailed in his heart, and his face was extremely helpless.
"I'm sorry, Lao Tzu's hometown is called 'Mutuo's City'," Huang Chongzhen grinned as if he had seen through his thoughts, "The more cowhide of the house next door is directly called 'Robber County', how about it, are you afraid?" ”
"I'm really scared." The old blacksmith nodded speechlessly, then shook his head again, "I haven't heard of it, though. ”
Huang Chongzhen laughed and said: "Anyway, Yuan Shuai called me here, you always have opinions, just go to him." ”
The old blacksmith wailed again: "That's Yuan Shuai! The old blacksmith is bitter haha, where do you dare! ”
Seeing this, Zhou Ji said speechlessly: "This kid is really good at finding things for Yuan Shuai, but ...... Lao Tzu likes it. ”
But seeing that Huang Chongzhen suddenly changed his arrogant attitude, he said to the old blacksmith with an extremely serious expression and tone: "You are the person in charge of this shop, right?" The next thing to forge is not a blade, but a gun carriage.
My ancestor called the gun carriage, which was assembled from horizontal shafts, vertical wires, iron handles and other parts, as well as large and small iron wheels, and then controlled by a rotating axle device.
So as to achieve the effect of adjusting the height of the gun chamber, that is, the angle of shelling. Among these parts, the horizontal axis and vertical iron handle are relatively easy to forge, and the rotating axle is the most difficult.
In fact, in addition to the large iron wheels with small teeth at the bottom, those with small teeth were more suitable, but with the strength of this blacksmith shop, I am afraid that it will not be forged, so I have to replace it with a simple roulette wheel. ”
