Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Song of the Death of the Waveless Liaodong

Huang Chongzhen spoke in much more detail at this time than in Yuan Chonghuan, and the old blacksmith listened very carefully.

After listening to it, he was finally able to raise his eyebrows and scold angrily: "You little guy is not only rude, but also looks down on people, but he has taken shit luck."

To tell you the truth, this blacksmith shop was originally built to forge parts such as roller skates on boats. After all, Ningyuan is near the sea, and there is Juehua Island, a grain island, if there is no ocean boat master, how can they support each other?

It's just that Jiannu came in a bit of a hurry this time, and there was a serious shortage of blades in the city, so the marshal had no choice but to temporarily recruit this place as a place for forging soldiers and repairing blades. ”

Huang Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Where is the kid's luck, it is clear that the handsome man is prescient!" ”

"What a sycophant!"

Although the old blacksmith had been confronted and despised for a while, he seemed to like Chongzhen's temper when he had something to say, and when he laughed and scolded, he suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Guys, show us all the guys who eat." ”

"Okay!" The blacksmiths responded loudly, and they pushed out one after another special forging furnaces from the corner, which made Shigejin very happy, and used iron tongs to pluck the fire from the original iron-striking furnace, and ignited a blazing forge.

Huang Chongzhen's clear eyes reflected a strong flame, and after familiarizing himself with the key points of the operation of the forge, he asked for the best fine iron from the blacksmith apprentice, and led everyone into the plan of forging the parts of the gun carriage.

I saw that while he was personally in charge of forging the gears, he also instructed the blacksmiths to forge the connecting parts such as horizontal shafts and vertical wires according to the drawings drawn in advance.

Under the rigorous support and leadership of the old blacksmiths, the blacksmiths of all sizes gave full play to their high professionalism and professionalism, and the forged parts met Huang Chongzhen's strict requirements very accurately.

After a few hours, all the parts needed to form the gun carriage were forged.

Looking at the pile of black parts scattered everywhere, the blacksmiths looked at each other, and they couldn't really connect it with the dictation of the crouching guy who was tinkering on the ground.

Huang Chongzhen took advantage of the fact that the final forged pulley set was still cooling, so he seized the time to start assembling the horizontal axis and vertical line, that is, the most basic support of the gun carriage.

Once all the parts had cooled, he couldn't wait to assemble them again.

It turns out that everything has to be taken seriously and carefully from the very beginning.

All the parts are perfect, such a fine forging technique, even the picky 22nd century travelers, have to give a praise to the great craftsmanship of the Chinese ancestors.

Therefore, it is very easy to assemble and is completed in a few clicks.

Looking at the gun carriage squatting on the ground like a tiger's huge buttocks, everyone in the blacksmith shop except Huang Chongzhen was dumbfounded.

Those ancestral family members who were silently watching from the side were also dumbfounded, and after they came to their senses, someone immediately rushed to report to their family master.

Zu Dashou had just dissatisfiedly brought Huang Chongzhen's investigation file to Yuan Chonghuan, and in his eyes, he reluctantly walked out of the study and closed the door.

I wanted to hide at the base of the wall and eavesdrop, but I heard Yuan Chonghuan coughing lightly inside, so I had to pout and go for a walk in the courtyard.

Scattered and scattered, I unconsciously came to the gate of the Taoist mansion, and saw a family member peeking in, and was almost not caught by Yuan Chonghuan's personal soldiers as a slave, so he took it over and scolded him.

This family is also true, and he waited until the head of the family lost his temper before he flatteringly revealed the truth of the matter.

Zu Dashou was immediately furious, scraped his face with a big mouth, and said angrily: "Such a big thing, why didn't you say it earlier." ”

With that, he strode away to the place where he had just come out, leaving only the family who wanted to ask for some credit in the cold wind, and went back to the blacksmith shop in a daze under the urging of Yuan's own soldiers.

At this time, in the blacksmith shop, I saw Huang Chongzhen manipulating, and actually used a thick wooden stick as a cannon chamber, and moved it up and down, left and right at will and magically several times, and then enthusiastically began to forge the second gun carriage.

After some careful thinking, Yuan Chonghuan finally completely eliminated Huang Chongzhen's suspicions, and was planning to write the word "innocent" on his file for archiving.

But just as the word "Qing" was completed, and when he was about to put down the second word, Zu Dashou recklessly broke in without knocking on the door, and behind his majestic body, there were several Yuan soldiers with anxious faces.

Yuan Chonghuan looked up and saw this scene, and immediately threw the ink pen in his hand over, and said angrily: "What are you doing? Want to rebel? ”

The ink splashed Zu Dashou's face, but he didn't care, he casually wiped his rough face, stepped forward and grabbed Yuan Chonghuan's wrist and pulled it out, and said as he walked: "It's a big matter, let's talk while walking!" ”

The elegant Yuan Chonghuan was caught by this rough general and had a little pain in his hand, so he roared angrily: "You let go of Lao Tzu first!" ”

"Oh...... Oooh! Forgive your sins! Forgive your sins! ”

Zu Dashou was shocked to lose his temper, hurriedly let go of his claws like iron tongs, and dodged his tall and sturdy body behind the elegant Yuan Chonghuan, and said, "Handsome, it's amazing!" That kid really forged the gun carriage! The first finished product has come out and is waiting for your review in the blacksmith's shop! ”

Yuan Chonghuan suddenly turned to look at him, and his voice trembled excitedly: "Is this true?" ”

"It's true! A certain wish to establish a military order......"

"Make your head! Take Lao Tzu to see it! ”

"Gotcha! Dashuai here, please! Zu Dashou immediately called his own soldiers to lead the way in front, and he grabbed his big cloak and covered his shoulders like a follower, and then bent his waist slightly, and followed behind him.

Yuan Chonghuan's personal soldiers naturally surrounded him, and a personal soldier who was guarding the Taoist mansion and was in charge of the study saw it, and said "yes" softly like Zu Dashou, and then walked in to clean it up.

He saw that there was only one word "Qing" written in the scroll on the table, and he had the intention to fill in the second word, but even if he found an ink pen, he couldn't write, so he had to dry the ink stains on it, roll it up and put it on the shelf behind.

With the experience of the second time, the second forging seemed to be skillful and much faster, and when Yuan Zu and the others hurried over, they were half completed.

opened the door and opened the thick curtain, and saw a large group of Liaodong men working with sweaty bodies, singing songs and working enthusiastically, so even Yuan Chonghuan, who had a habit of cleanliness, wanted to take off his shirt and join in.

What they sang was the incomparably enthusiastic "Death Song of the Endless Liaodong Waves", with a low and hoarse voice, rich and powerful: "The young man in front of Changbai Mountain, pure red Luo Jin back file......"

"No song of death in Liaodong? But changed 'Chishiro' to 'Young Lang'? Interesting...... Yuan Chonghuan raised his hand to stop Zu Dashou, who wanted to rush in immediately, and chose to stand at the door and watch silently.

There is fire inside and ice outside, which makes the two of them have a new experience and understanding of the two heavens of ice and fire.

About half an hour later, Zu Dashou really couldn't see Yuan Chonghuan's snot flowing and stubbornly saying that he was not cold - the men in Liaodong were all forged by wind and snow, what is this cold?

Didn't you see that Lao Tzu was only wearing a military uniform and an underwear?

So, he trembled and pleaded: "Dashuai, it's really a little cold outside, let's go in and talk about it first!" ”

At this moment, the two of them heard Chongzhen roar angrily, "It's done", and the blacksmith shop immediately cheered.

Yuan Chonghuan coughed lightly and walked in with a bluffed face.

He came to Huang Chongzhen, looked at the broken parts scattered on the ground expressionlessly, and said with a cold face on the corner of his mouth: "Where is the gun truck you want?" Don't tell me it's all this black! ”

Huang Chongzhen grinned and explained: "Don't underestimate them, after they are assembled, they will be a suitable artillery carriage." ”

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and immediately a junior pushed the first gun carriage out of the corner.

When Zu Dashou saw it, he immediately stepped forward, squatted down and rubbed the two big iron wheels, and shouted: "Wow! Boy! What a good guy! ”

"This is the gun carriage?" Yuan Chonghuan was stunned, stretched out his hand and made a push forward movement, and said in a deep voice, "Shouldn't the gun carriage be like this?" ”

Huang Chongzhen grinned and said, "The marshal said that it was a trolley, but it was not a gun cart." Seeing is believing, handsome, let us go to the city wall and show it to you in person. ”

"Okay." Yuan Chonghuan nodded, then flicked his cloak and took the lead in walking outside the shop.

Zu Dashou glanced at Huang Chongzhen with expectation, and then ordered his soldiers to bring all the parts on the ground.

Huang Chongzhen nodded at him, wiped off his sweat and put on his military uniform, grabbed a big iron wheel in one hand, and did not forget to put the big iron sword with the scabbard on his back, and went to the city wall with Zhou Ji to guard.

When the old blacksmith and others received military orders, they opened the vents and windows and rested in the blacksmith's shop.

As soon as the news of the two gun mounts involved in the casting is combined, the flame of forging will be ignited again.

The wind on the city walls was biting, very cold and cold.

But the hearts of Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou and others are hot.

They saw that the scattered parts were quickly assembled under Huang Chongzhen's assembly, and they also asked Zhou Ji and Zhou Ji to help them with a few personal soldiers to inlay the cumbersome cannon chamber.

With a crisp sound of "pop", the gun chamber and the gun carriage were tightly sealed, just like the strong body of a tiger finally had a huge hip, and there was no difference between each other.

Huang Chongzhen shook the iron handle with his own hands, and the pinion immediately drove the middle gear, and the middle gear drove the big gear, and the full tonnage of the gun chamber also slowly and gradually went up, and vice versa.

Of course, the process of shaking is not very easy, it has to be a strong man, but compared with the pushing, pulling and dragging of a dozen big men, I don't know how much effort is saved.

The most important thing is that such a bulky cannon chamber and a stout gun carriage really only need two people to push, Huang Chongzhen and Zhou Ji, and they can be quickly moved and replaced by two large iron wheels.
