Chapter 134: The Jedi Strikes Back
Strong crossbows, longbows, and Tang knives are actually forged by Chen Mo?
Xiahou Zhen didn't believe it, Zhong Kui didn't believe it, and no one even believed it except for Huameishu.
Chen Mo, just a teacher, how could he know how to forge weapons?
"There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book." Chen Mo said with a smile, "In fact, as long as you read enough books and read them thoroughly, anything can be done." Of course, there are other people who have contributed to the making of weapons. ”
Everyone understood, put aside the doubts in their hearts, and focused on the weapon itself.
The more I look at it, the more incredible it becomes.
The most satisfying thing about this is, of course, Xiahou Zhen, if the longbow, strong crossbow, and Tang knife can be equipped in large quantities, it will definitely have an earth-shaking effect. Because he could see clearly, this was much stronger than what Hu Xia Guo had forged with secret methods.
In the future, when the two armies fight, they will no longer be dragged down by shortcomings.
In this way, you will be able to straighten your spine.
In the eyes of others, Xiahou Zhen is a master and a faction, even a weak faction.
However, only he knew that the fundamental reason for advocating peace talks stemmed from the huge disadvantage of weapons.
The so-called success of a general is not to the point of last resort, and he really doesn't want to exchange the lives of thousands of soldiers for a tough and unyielding reputation.
Born in a military family, he knows how cruel the battlefield is, and knows better how heavy each life of his men is.
Of course, in addition to weapons, there are also some other reasons that are also making constraints, and Xiahou Zhen did not dare to use troops rashly under many concerns.
Now that things have taken a turn for the better, how can he not be happy and excited.
Chen Mo, this time he has made a great contribution.
In a way, it's comparable to the sky!
Xia Fangzheng's opinion is just the opposite, in his eyes, the three weapons are not the weapons that will turn the tide of the war in the future.
It's incriminating evidence!
Chen Mo privately made heavy weapons, and he should be punished according to law!
"Come on, take down Chen Mo."
Xia Fangzheng knew in his heart that he must make a decision immediately, and he must not give Chen Mo any more chance to mess around.
As long as he bites the charge of making weapons privately, even if Xiahou Zhen comes forward, he will definitely not be able to protect him.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Xiahou Zhen stood up.
"Lord Overseer, what do you mean by that?"
"General, it is a felony to make weapons privately. Regardless of Chen's intentions, in the final analysis, it is a violation of the law. Since the law has been violated, it should be dealt with, otherwise everyone will follow suit, and won't it lead to chaos in the world? ”
Xia Fangzheng has a word, and the purpose is nothing more than one, to kill Chen Mo.
Hearing that he moved out of the law, Xiahou Zhen hesitated for a while.
Privately manufacturing weapons is not only a felony, but also a capital crime.
Especially what Chen Mo made, the power is still so huge.
If you equip the army in large quantities, it will indeed greatly improve the combat effectiveness, but if it falls into the hands of lawless people, it will also be a monstrous hidden danger.
Anyway, Chen Mo had to be saved, but he couldn't make any rebuttal for a while.
Just when he was thinking hard to no avail, Chen Mo suddenly laughed.
"Lord Warden, may I ask who should take care of the matter of privately making weapons?"
"Of course, it's the Yamen ......"
As soon as the words came out, Xia Fangzheng quickly closed his mouth.
Chen Mo would not let go of this opportunity, and took advantage of the victory to pursue it.
"Your Excellency can serve in the yamen?"
“……”
Xia Fangzheng's face turned pale, but he couldn't say one, two, three.
"The adult is not a person in the yamen, so naturally he can't take care of extraneous things, so at least the son is here, and Chen is innocent."
"Makes sense." Xiahou Zhen hurriedly nodded, "Lord Supervisor only needs to fulfill his own duties, as for the rest, General Ben has his own arrangements." ”
"General, by all means."
Xia Fangzheng will also not let go of such a good opportunity.
"Even if this official does not serve in the yamen, the military and civilian laws here are all in the hands of the general, so I still have the right to supervise. Now that Chen Mo has committed a serious crime, if he is not severely punished, I am afraid that it will not be justified, right? ”
“……”
After saying a word, Xiahou Zhen's brows furrowed even deeper.
Strictly speaking, Xia Fangzheng was right, as a general, the fortress and the important town were under the jurisdiction of Xiahou Zhen.
And Xia Fangzheng, the supervising army, said to supervise military affairs, was actually sent by the imperial court to restrain Xiahou Zhen.
With his back to the prime minister of the dynasty, he came here with a holy decree, so when he said this, he really couldn't forcibly protect Chen Mo.
"Lord Xia, in your opinion, what crime should Chen Mo be punished?" Xiahou Zhen asked unwillingly.
"Capital offense."
Seeing that he had the upper hand, Xia Fangzheng's arrogance became arrogant again.
"Since the establishment of the Self Dynasty, the private manufacture of weapons is a serious crime among the felonies, and everyone has seen the weapons made by Chen Mo, if they flow outside, they will cause a military disaster if they are small, and they will shake the country's foundation, and they must be punished with capital punishment."
From the perspective of legal theory, Xia Fangzheng did not exaggerate.
It is precisely because of this that everyone's hearts are heavy.
Chen Mo, it's really dangerous.
It is true that what he forged can indeed change the situation of the war on the border and even between the two countries.
However, the sword has two sides, and the reverse is also true.
If Chen Mo hides selfish intentions and provides the secret recipe for forging weapons to people with ulterior motives, there will be endless troubles 100%.
The most terrible thing is that Chen Mo personally said just now that he was going to Hu Xia Kingdom to do business.
Who knows, what kind of business he is doing?
After all, people's hearts are separated from their bellies, and no one can guarantee that Chen Mo will not do anything that is disagreeable to the world after he gets out of the customs.
Even, whether he himself will return or not, is unknown.
At that time, everyone here will be dragged down.
"Chen Mo, what should I do?"
The scene was extremely depressing, and Hua Meishu's heart was completely suspended, especially after seeing Chen Mo's calm and calm appearance, he hurriedly pulled his sleeve.
"Don't worry, I'm prepared."
After signaling Huameishu to rest assured, Chen Mo took a few steps forward and stood in front of Xiahou Zhen and Xia Fangzheng.
"Lord Xia said, I should be punished with death, right?"
"Or else?" Xia Fangzheng sneered, "What do you want to say?" ”
"I want to say, don't think about punishing crimes, Lord Xia. Not only that, Chen Mo also had to ask the general for a military merit. ”
Chen Mo also smiled, and his smile was extremely bright.
"You're dreaming." Xia Fangzheng gritted his teeth.
"Whether it's a dream or not, the general will decide."
After speaking, Chen Mo took off his waist card and handed it over respectfully.
Xiahou Zhen took it suspiciously, and after looking at it carefully, his face suddenly became happy.
"Chen Mo, you, you are actually the head of the Baihe County Garrison Army?"
"Back to the general, thanks to the love of Yang Qi, the general who defended the city, under the difficulty of being gracious, Chen Mo can only be respectful and obedient."
After answering Xiahou Zhen, Chen Mo looked at Xia Fangzheng with a smile.
"Lord Overseer, I am the leader of the garrison, am I qualified to forge weapons?"
"If you think the waist card is not real, I still have something here, please take a look."
