"There has been new progress in weapon refining and secret pattern research?"

Huo Quzhi guessed that Ji Qiu might have good news.

The short and fat Mo family master nodded and said smugly: "Both, both." ”

"Where's the progress of the preparation of the fire barrel arrows and the bow and crossbow?"

The meaning of mortar is not easy to understand in this era, and the fire bucket arrow is the name given by Ji Qiu and others.

"It's also progressing on both."

Huo Quzhi said happily to Liu Qing beside him: "Qing'er, you take the child and Qingke back to the house first, and I'll go back to see it." ”

Liu Qing nodded obediently, and watched him get out of the car and enter the military mansion.

The lieutenants under Huo Quai's command have their own affairs, and only Chen Qing and Zhao Anji are by their side.

"Chen Qing, Zhao Anji, you also go back to the city first, you don't have to follow me."

The two agreed in unison, and then escorted Liu Qing's car and went together.

The group quickly returned to the east gate of Chang'an.

The forbidden army under their command went to the military camp on the outskirts of the city to unload their armor.

There are many people waiting to enter the city at the city gate, and they are all the teams that have returned from Fengzen.

At Chen Qing and Zhao Anji's house, there were already people waiting outside the city.

Chen Qing's daughter-in-law, Wu Jilian, is the former exquisite princess.

She is dressed in a smoke-green fairy dress, with a tall figure and charming eyebrows and eyes, and she is indeed a beautiful woman who is unique in ten thousand. At that time in the Western Regions, the name of beauty was second only to Roshna.

She stood quite eye-catching in the crowd, and Chen Qing, who boasted of being the second face in Chang'an, was a good match.

When Wu Jilian and Chen Qing were talking, they felt that there were eyes staring at them, and when they turned their heads to look over, they found that it was a face poking out from the chariot of a car entering the city.

It was a young man, who was not shy about looking at himself.

"The King of the Clan."

Chen Qing also saw the person behind the car and reassured: "Ji Lian, in this Chang'an, we are the people who follow the Hou Ye, but we don't have to be afraid of him..."

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked by Zhao Anji next to him: "Don't announce some things and cause trouble for Hou Ye."

Gone, into town. ”

The movement outside the car was noticed by Liu Qing in the car.

She lifted the curtain and looked at it, then beckoned an embroidered Yi who was accompanying her to approach: "You arrange a few capable people to secretly stare at King Changshan and the people in his house." He couldn't do anything about Hou Ye and me, so he didn't have other thoughts, and finally asked Hou Ye to come out to deal with the aftermath. ”

The embroiderer hurriedly agreed.

……

Bingfu.

"In the past few days, Your Majesty has sealed Zen and entered the fairy palace, and the news has spread all over the world. My great man is blessed by heaven and blessed by all parties.

Perhaps it is related to good luck, and we have studied all kinds of creations in recent days, and we have also gained a lot. ”

Ji Qiu first took out a light riding round shield with an arm and displayed it.

The round shield was only a few feet in diameter, and it was very light.

The second artifact is the Fire Bucket Arrow.

The third piece is a repeater.

The three utensils are all made of bronze and carved with secret patterns.

The round shield is exquisitely shaped, and there is a raised animal head pattern on the surface, symbolizing bravery.

"This light shield draws on the experience of the previous improved Han knife, using multi-layer forging, adding secret patterns in the middle layer, and greatly improving the degree of solidity. With a hammer-like heavy weapon, hit it with all your strength hundreds of times without dents. Even if the first two realms of heaven and man attacked with all their might, they could also resist several times. ”

Huo Quzhi was a little surprised.

Those who have reached the realm of heaven and man in the world can be called fierce generals.

That is to say, the future light cavalry with a shield can withstand several attacks from enemy generals. This has really greatly improved the defense of the army.

Huo Quzhi pinched the bronze shield with his hand, and it took a little force to leave traces, and it was really strong.

Ji Qiu was triumphant, and picked up the repeater again:

"We changed the rebate of the repeater from three structures to two, and cast an arc-shaped meniscus artifact, replacing the original two straight buckles, thereby shortening one step of linkage and significantly increasing the launch rate of the repeater."

"How's the stability?"

"Hou Ye rest assured, we have tested it with the real thing, and it is no worse than the previous three-button linkage."

Huo Qu's illness is also a joyful emotion.

These changes may really complement each other with the improvement of national fortunes, and there are actually ordnance that have made considerable progress.

The third is the barrel of fire arrows that he has in mind.

"This Fire Bucket Arrow has made progress, and it is also forged in a sandwich layer, adding secret patterns to increase stability. Gave up the ejection release method that Hou Ye said, and used the method of the built-in array to ignite the ......"

Ji Qiu excitedly explained.

Roughly speaking, the cannon arrow is loaded into the barrel from the muzzle, and the cannon arrow falls freely, contacts the bottom of the barrel, and uses the internal explosion pattern effect to form a high ejection pressure.

The enormous gas pressure forces the arrow to move towards the muzzle and shoot at the target.

The whole process, after studying and understanding, will feel very simple, a total of only four or five steps.

But these best Mohist craftsmen in the world exhausted their methods, and it still took nearly two years to achieve the current results.

Then he tried, Huo Quzhi felt that the backfill speed was not up to expectations, and the short arrow was sealed in the copper paste wrapped in the ammunition with a secret method, and the effect of the explosion was incomparable with that of later generations, and the continuous firing ability was also poor.

But Ji Qiu and the others were amazed once and again, their faces were full of excitement, and they said that the idea put forward by Huo Quai's whimsical idea was amazing.

Compared with the heavy crossbows and bed crossbows of this era, the power has indeed increased significantly.

The key is that it is easy to operate, and the backfill speed seems to be too slow in Huo Qu's disease, but it is much faster than the bed crossbow with a noose to collect the arrows and shoot out in a loop.

And it is lighter, and a single horse can carry two fire bucket arrows, so it will not feel difficult.

After a delay of two hours in the military mansion, it was dark, and Huo Qu was sick before returning to the Hou mansion.

Before he left, he ordered all his efforts to forge fire bucket arrows and add bows and shields.

If these creations are distributed, they will have an obvious auxiliary effect on the combat effectiveness of the Han army.

When the things are prepared, Huo Qubing is ready to be pulled to the battlefield to try.

However, it is estimated that it will not be able to catch up with the next war.

The emperor's intention was to let him go to Parthia as soon as possible, and join Wei Qing to defeat Parthia as soon as possible.

After staying in Chang'an for a few days, Huo Qubing was about to go to the front line to start a new national war.

……

It was dark.

In the city, in Zhao Chong's country, Xiong San, who came back first, was called over as a guest, and after eating, he was about to go home.

"Today, Gongzi is back at home, I want to go back and have a look earlier."

"I'll send you."

On the way back to the Hou Mansion, Zhao Chongguo hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "I have something to say......

If you agree, I want to go to the Hou Ye to propose marriage, how about you marry into my family? ”

"Huh?"

Xiong San was stunned: "Marry into your family...... Can you raise me?

Childe said, if I get married, ordinary people can't support me. ”

I'm worried about this...... Zhao Chongguo puffed up his chest: "I will definitely be able to support you." ”

Xiong San was inexplicably a little shy: "Do you want to live together when you get married, like the princess and my son-in-law, and they are together at night." ”

Zhao Chongguo said excitedly: "Yes, let's live together in the future." ”

Xiong San lowered his head and said: "I have a lot of problems, I still snore when I sleep, you are sure that you will not dislike me in the future." ”

"Everyone knows that Master Hou treats you as a family member, I'm just afraid that you will dislike me, how can I dislike you.

My mother and you are ordinary women, and I have been in love with my father for many years. ”

Zhao Chongguo was overjoyed: "So, you agreed?" ”

Xiong San twisted, stomped his foot slightly, and with a bang, the ground trembled: "I went back and asked Childe, and if Childe agreed, I agreed." ”

"Master Hou, I asked, and he said that if you agree, he will agree." Zhao Chongguo said.

The eldest girl of her own family finally found someone, and Huo Quzhi was very happy after knowing what the two meant.

When Feng Chan returned, all aspects of Han were changing.

In spring, the products are abundant, and auspicious signs appear frequently in various places.

In the land of Baiyue near the sea, there are fishermen who have picked 16 mussel beads, all of which are uniform, as big as a baby's fist, and the treasure is full of light, which is rare for thousands of years.

After harvesting the mussel beads, the lord of Baiyue personally came to Chang'an to offer it.

There is an elephant country in the area where the mourning prison and the body are poisoned, which is the country of barbarians in the south, and it is also the whole country that wants to be incorporated into the Han Dynasty.

The tribes in the northeast, and the far north of the original Xiongnu, also have tribes to come to the court, presenting an annual tribute.

The tribal alliance of the Far North, led by Vina, came to Chang'an in mid-April.

Internally, there have also been many changes in the government and the opposition.

Gongsun Hong is reorganizing his life's study of "Spring and Autumn" and "Ram".

In history, he left the book "Ten Articles of Gongsun Hong", and now he is writing and editing again, adding and subtracting content, and preparing to publish it in the world, not only to leave his name, but also to accumulate luck and try to impact the realm of semi-saints.

Dong Zhongshu and Daozun also have further signs.

A country's luck has improved, and even the forbidden army hall where Huo Qu's illness is located is different from the past.

In the palace, the soldiers are lucky.

At the end of the main hall, Huo Quai's handsome position, the aura of killing was as strict as a prison.

The big Sima Shuai seal beside him seemed to come to life, turning into a tiger talisman, roaring and mighty, which made people feel awe-inspiring.

In mid-April, the main hall of Xianyang Palace.

Morning.

When the ministers gathered, the weather was even more amazing, and the tide of national fortune was surging and spread out in the palace.

The emperor after the dragon case, said in a solemn voice:

"General Wei has captured the city of Nordyali in Parthia, and its border has been divided into two parts, the front and the back, and the soldiers have been scattered and it is difficult to take care of them.

The war against Parthia had reached its most critical moment. I consulted with the Great Sima and wanted to send him out to defeat the Parthian army.

There are a few more days of preparation, and at the end of this month, Da Sima will go west. ”

"In addition, in the eastern sea, there are barbarians who dare to attack my Han.

Da Sima has found out the source, it was done by a small country in the East China Sea, what do you think of this matter? ”

The important ministers of the Shaofu and other Jiuqing who belonged to the clan exchanged glances.

Shaofu came out and said: "Your Majesty, with the prosperity of my Han now, if someone dares to disturb me, he should be beaten back."

General Li Kang has not slackened in the past few years, and he has re-mounted the new group, which is the time to train the soldiers.

He asked His Majesty to allow Li Dang to lead the army into battle. ”

Sponsoring Li Kang to command the army, Wei Huo will make new contributions in Parthia, and he will not let the two of them specialize in beauty.

This is the consistent attitude of the clan.

Huo Quzhi glanced at Shaofu.

He had planned to follow the emperor's orders and defeat Parthia, and then turn around and come back to deal with the changes on Yamato Island in person.

But looking at the attitude of the clan to divide the military merits, it must be impossible to persuade them.

Huo Quzhi directly said: "Your Majesty, the eastern sea frontier should be temporarily guarded, and you can't rush out to fight." ”

Militarily, the emperor had a high letter to Huo Qubing and Wei Qing, and said: "Then we will first increase our troops on the eastern coast, and then discuss the matter of going to war after further exploring the enemy's situation." ”

The interest of several members of the clan has not diminished in the slightest, and they are still ready to continue to lobby the emperor after the dispersal of the dynasty.

The emperor looked around the court and threw a bombshell:

"During this time, I have been thinking about it, and Da Sima has continued to use troops in recent years, expanding his territory and expanding his territory to an unprecedented extent.

Since ancient times, there has never been such a big country, such a vast land, and no so many people.

Yesterday, I read the great Sima used his troops to break the enemy, kill the enemy, siege the city, and accumulate meritorious deeds, and I was very happy after reading it.

Da Sima has been fighting for three years, and one general has broken the enemy by millions, and he is undefeated in all directions!

This feat is so outstanding that I cannot ignore it. ”

"Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there are several people who have been crowned kings, but their merits are not as far as Da Sima.

I have always been clear and impartial. Today, when the Great Sima goes down to Parthia again, he will be crowned the king of the Great Sima Huo, and the wolf Juxu will be the king, what is the opinion of the secretaries? ”

The hall was suddenly silent, and even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

PS: Asking for votes, thank you
