Chapter 81: The Crossbow and the Saddle
"Bai Qing believe it or not, when the generals come back, they will hunt much less prey than the widows."
Ying Zheng continued this topic, as a king is lonely, it is rare to have someone to talk to him, and he unconsciously talks too much.
This was a fact, and Bai Zhong had no way to deny it, so he had to explain: "We respect the king, so we will do this. ”
Ying Zheng believed that they were respectful, but not just respectful, and sighed: "They are afraid of widows." ”
"Bai Qing, you said so, is it good or bad that the generals are afraid of the widow?"
He stopped by holding the reins and looked back at Bai Zhong.
This question made Bai Zhong a little embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he said: "There are good and bad, the bad thing is that the generals are afraid of the king, and they may not dare to say some things, and they don't dare to write to advise the king if he is wrong." ”
"yes!"
Ying Zheng felt that this sentence was very correct, and asked: "What about the good aspects?" ”
Bai Zhong could only continue: "They are afraid of the king, they dare not trespass, respect the king, the king can establish majesty and suppress everyone." ”
Ying Zheng suddenly asked, "So is Bai Qing afraid, or not afraid?" ”
Bai Zhong was stunned, and immediately said: "The minister is the king of respect, and he seems to be afraid." ”
Ying Zheng laughed, feeling that Bai Zhong could say so many words, and he was not timid or nervous at all when he was by his side, he was not afraid at all, he was very bold.
But respect, he can see it.
All Bai Zhong did was to respect him, there was no doubt about this.
Fusu beside him looked at his father with such a smile on his face, and he didn't understand it, according to his previous judgment, in fact, Bai Zhong said that it was a bit inappropriate.
Even Zhao Gao, who was not far behind him, saw it and felt very novel.
The king used to be very majestic, so that people had to be careful in whatever they did in front of him, but now he has a rare and pleasant face, and treats Bai Zhong more like a friend.
It was the first time for Zhao Gao to see the king so abnormal, and he felt that Bai Zhong had infinite potential.
"Bai Qing thinks, what can the widow do so that the following Wenchen generals are afraid of the widow and dare to advise and comment?"
Ying Zheng asked with interest.
Bai Zhong didn't know how to answer, and thought for a moment and said: "The minister is a martial artist, if you fight, kill, and charge for the king, it's no problem at all, but if you give advice, the minister doesn't understand anything." ”
Ying Zheng didn't dwell on this anymore, continued to ride his horse slowly, and asked: "What do the widows have to do to make the Koreans afraid of the widows?" According to Ning Teng's recent performance, some Korean nobles wanted to regain the country some time ago. ”
Bai Zhong said: "This simplicity has wiped out all the Korean nobles!" ”
"No way!"
Fusu finally found a topic that he could participate in, and hurriedly said: "The sage says, the benevolent love others." ”
"Shut up!"
Ying Zheng's good mood was completely disrupted by Fusu's words.
Fusu's body trembled slightly, realizing that he had said the wrong thing for a while, which made his father angry, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak again.
"Bai Qing, Fusu is like this, what can you do?"
Ying Zheng continued: "You are Fusu's teacher. ”
Fusu wanted to say that Bai Zhong was not his teacher, but he didn't dare to say it.
Bai Zhong sighed in his heart, feeling that the identity of the teacher could not be shaken off, thought for a while, changed the topic and asked, "Childe has not yet hunted prey." ”
"Holy ......"
Fusu still wanted to quote the sage's words, but immediately changed his words and said, "No." ”
"Maybe the bow doesn't fit, try it with my crossbow."
Bai Zhong took the opportunity to take out the crossbow hanging on the edge of the saddle, and while opening it, he said: "This is what the minister got in the hands of Han Wang'an, a very special and small crossbow, Gongzi can give it a try." ”
Ying Zheng looked at the crossbow, his eyes were fixed, he could slowly stretch from a small one to a larger one, and finally it was only a little smaller than an ordinary bow and crossbow.
"Bai Qing's crossbow is magical, how powerful is it?"
He couldn't help but ask.
Bai Zhong said with a smile: "Let the prince give it a try, and the king can know how powerful it is, and today the minister has something about this crossbow and wants to ask the king." ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, pointed to a deer in front of him, and said, "Childe, you can try to hit that deer." ”
Fusu was very reluctant in his heart, and he didn't dare to say the words of the saint again, but when he saw that the distance from the deer was nearly two hundred steps, he should not be able to hit, so he took it and even aimed very seriously.
"Just take it here."
Bai Zhong pointed to the bracket.
Fusu learned how to use it, and gently buckled.
Sou!
Specially made crossbow arrows burst out.
Two hundred paces away, in the blink of an eye, he was taken away by a crossbow arrow, and hit the hind leg of the deer.
The deer let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground and could not get up again.
"Ahh
Fusu exclaimed in surprise and almost dropped his crossbow on the ground.
Ying Zheng's eyes widened, and he even felt that he had seen something wrong, and asked, "Bai Qing, is this crossbow really that strong?" ”
"That's right!"
Bai Zhong nodded and said: "The minister wants to ask the king for his consent to mobilize a group of craftsmen to build this kind of crossbow, and use it with the knife in the Iron Eagle Ruishi, or the iron ore and other things created in the entire army of Great Qin. ”
Ying Zheng took the crossbow in his hand, looked at the material and structure on it, and frowned: "I'm afraid it's not easy to build, right?" ”
"The minister is confident that he will be able to build it."
Bai Zhong affirmed.
Ying Zheng thought for a while, if this kind of crossbow could be used in the whole army, it would definitely speed up the progress of Great Qin's sweep of the remaining five countries.
As pointed out by the Great Qin soldiers, no one dared to resist again.
"Widow, yes!"
Anyway, he only needs to send people, and he doesn't need to provide the rest, so it's no problem to give one or two thousand conscripts, and said: "But the construction of the bow and crossbow must be the responsibility of the military." ”
Bai Zhong said: "The minister also thought of this, so he didn't build it on the side of Wuluo, but first asked the king, and the minister just borrowed the manpower and financial resources of Wuluo to build that kind of knife. ”
Ying Zheng said with satisfaction: "Bai Qing is thoughtful, but he is too worried. ”
"The king, the minister still has a thing, which the minister himself came up with, if the cavalry in the army can use this thing, and with a little training, even if he goes to the north to fight with the Huns, he can gain the upper hand."
Bai Zhong continued to propose the second thing, preparing to implement his own plan to strengthen the army.
"What?"
Ying Zheng asked more curiously.
Bai Zhong turned over and dismounted, pointed to the saddle, and said, "Saddle!" ”
"Saddle?"
Ying Zheng and Fusu looked at the horse at the same time.
They had long noticed the special nature of this saddle pad, but they didn't think too much about it, and they didn't expect it to be intentional by Bai Zhong.
Ying Zheng asked, "What's so special about this thing?" ”
Bai Zhong looked back and said with a smile: "Why don't you let Zhao Fuling come over and give it a try?" ”
Ying Zheng felt that he couldn't see anything just by looking at it, and thought that he needed to give it a try, and shouted: "Zhao Gao, come up!" ”
"The minister is here!"
Zhao Gao hurriedly stepped forward.
Ying Zheng asked, "How to try?" ”
Bai Zhong asked, "Will Zhao Fuling ride and shoot?" ”
Zhao Gao hurriedly shook his head: "No, although the minister can run fast, but if his hands leave the reins, he will not be able to stabilize his body, and he will definitely fall down." ”
"Then let Zhao Fuling perform a horse shooting!"
Bai Zhong's words startled Zhao Gao.
I said I couldn't ride and shoot, and you still let me perform?
Zhao Gao felt that Bai Zhong wanted to kill himself, and fell off the back of a running horse, even if he didn't die, he would not have half a life, and couldn't help but say: "General Bai, we have no grievances and no hatred......"
"Enough!"
Ying Zheng's tone carried a majesty that could not be refused, and said, "Do you want to try it or not?" ”
"Yui!"
How dare Zhao Gao not do it, now he wants to cry without tears.
