Chapter 161: Embroidery Division
"Won't you just sleep with a queen mother? Can't enjoy it yet? ”
"What are you doing staring at me one by one, Mrs. Dong said that he couldn't sleep back then, why didn't he ask him?"
"No...... I feel that after being crowned queen, why is it a little floating! ”
Su Chen muttered to himself all the way, and Dian Wei, who was following behind, finally squeezed out some expressions on his face that had not changed for thousands of years, "Lord, at least you are better than King Wei back then, and you know where to be safe...... Also know the ...... of introspection"
"Don't let Gong Cao hear this."
Su Chen, who came back to his senses, replied with a smile, and when he came to the atrium, Pei Min sat on the guardrail under the eaves with his ancient sword in his hands, and when he saw Su Chen coming, he dropped his feet, stood up straight and saluted with his sword.
"Where's Brother Taibai?"
"I don't know where to hide." Pei Min said with a smile, and then stepped forward and pushed the opposite door open, "Only let the two red-haired barbarians come over to see the king." ”
As he spoke, he followed Su Chen and Dian Wei into the house, this room is different from the front yard to receive guests, there are not so many rules here.
As soon as I entered, several embroidery masters pressed knives to the left and right, in front of a wooden couch, two red-haired barbarians kneeling, supporting the ground with both hands, one was burly and fat, not tall, with messy red hair, and a big beard, while the other was actually a woman, also with red hair, but a little neater, braided with two hemp braids, rough and slightly black skin, wide hips, wide shoulders, and a thin waist.
Hearing the footsteps, the two raised their faces slightly, and Pei Min scolded: "Bow your head!" ”
The two of them were suddenly excited, and hurriedly buried their faces.
"Do you know how to speak Yanguo?"
Su Chen walked around the two people on the ground, walked to the wooden couch and sat down, reached out and took a sip of the tea handed by a master of embroidery, and spit out the tea leaves.
"It's going to be some, I know a little bit in this month and a half, otherwise it's too stupid, and it's worthless to stay." Pei Min was a person from the Xuanzong period of the Tang Dynasty and hated the Hu people.
In tone, there is no politeness.
Su Chen looked at the two barbarians, a man and a woman, hooked his fingers, and raised his face: "Let Gu take a look." ”
He had lived in the Yan Kingdom for ten years, and he had only heard of archipelagos in the East China Sea, with monkey-like dwarves, similar to the group of Japanese people back then, and nothing else.
For this group of red-haired barbarians who broke into Feiyungang, they are still very interested, especially the navigation charts found on the other party.
While thinking about it, the two red-haired barbarians seemed to finally understand the meaning of Su Chen's words, and slowly raised their faces.
The woman's eyes were dark blue, her cheeks were a little freckled, and her appearance was angular and unique to Western women, she looked at Su Chen, her eyes blinked, "I...... We...... is from ......"
She raised her hand and wanted to point in one direction, but was hit on the back of her hand with a scabbard by the embroidery master on the side.
Pei Min said lightly: "This group of barbarians hid their strength at the beginning, but later there was a conflict, and it was revealed that these two people's martial arts skills are not weak, they are about the same as the six or seven grades of the Jianghu people on this side, and if they are placed in the army, they can get the level of a battalion captain." ”
"That's not enough!" Su Chen raised his hand and waved it, and the master of the embroidery division collected his sword and retreated. Then, motioning for the woman to continue.
The red-haired woman pursed her lips and looked timidly at the guards around her, and when she saw the person sitting there, she raised her chin slightly, signaling her to speak, and only then did she dare to speak again.
"From ...... Far away...... Encounter a storm...... Lost...... Sun...... Coast...... Cold...... Here......"
The stammering Yan Guohua is like countless fragments gradually forming a clear vein.
It probably means that they came from a far west, and they lost their way in a storm on the way, so they could only drift along the coastline, passing through a cold area along the way, and finally saw the merchant ships of Yanguo Feiyungang going to sea, and followed the trajectory of the voyage to find Feiyungang.
"Pirates?"
Su Chen tried his best to ask them in simple words, and the two of them were obviously stunned for a moment, and quickly shook their heads.
"Where did the gold come from?" Su Chen looked at them and denied it, and couldn't help but laugh, there are so many gold objects in the cabin, how can they do business, and it is also a business for robbery.
He took a golden cup in his hand and played with it, the faces of the two obviously changed, the man nodded at Su Chen, and shook his head again: "Pirate, not voluntary." ”
"Are there any accomplices?"
"Yes...... A ......" the woman also spoke, her Yan Mandarin was a little more fluent than the man's, "They forced us to come over and explore the ......"
Su Chen narrowed his eyes and summoned Wu Zixun, "Go and ask Mr. Zhuge about the official documents in Feiyungang, there are rumors about robbers at sea." ”
"Yes!" When Wu Zixun left, he snorted at the two barbarians on the ground.
"Arrange for this group to go to the inn, but don't let them out of the house."
Su Chen commanded, took the golden cup, played with it and left this side, walked out of a concave shape along the long eaves, and came to the study on the other side and pushed the door in.
The desk is stacked with official documents that Zhuge Liang can't make his own decisions, of course, it's also for leisure.
"Mr. Wolong, I really don't want to do more things now."
Looking at sixty or seventy official documents, Su Chen sat down behind the desk with a smile, picked them up and looked through them one by one, while Dian Wei stood outside to guard.
The room fell silent, save for the sound of paper stroking.
After processing more than a dozen sheets, I actually saw a page of paper stuck in the middle of Zhuge Liang, which was painted with a drawing of the structure of the bow and crossbow.
"Good stuff!"
This thing can't be used as an army alone, it can be used in the variety of soldiers' weapons, which greatly improves the battle, and can also be rationed with light cavalry...... Ballista cavalry?
Although the range may not be as good as that of a riding bow, it is better than being able to fire continuously, greatly improving the ability to disturb and suppress the military formation.
"This has to be handed over to Yanjing's foundry department as soon as possible."
Right now, Zhuge Liang's repeater crossbow was sent to the front of him, in fact, what Su Chen was doing during this time was to improve the armor, and the armor of the generals to the main force was replaced with the armor of the Tang Dynasty as much as possible, such as Mingguang, Shanwen, etc., which was naturally much stronger than the armor of the Han Dynasty.
In terms of weapons, Mo Dao is also trying to build.
The siege and field equipment were gradually dismantled and rebuilt according to Pei Min's suggestion and An Lushan, who had already left for the south.
For example, the nest car of the reconnaissance city wall, the stone throwing car that can throw 300 catties of stones, and the wooden curtain to prevent arrows, greatly reduce the pressure of the foot shield, and even the cloud ladder has become foldable, and the chassis is added below to install four wooden wheels, similar to a reduced siege tower, which is convenient for dismantling and carrying.
As for why it's not Song and Ming, because he doesn't have generals in this area.
Su Chen looked down, most of them were people's livelihood, the land was fertile, but there were few grain varieties, he tried to recruit talents to improve grain varieties before, but there was no news until now.
"This is not in a hurry......
After reading and reviewing it, he called the scribes who were waiting outside and asked them to take them back for a final inspection and send them to the yamen.
It had been half an hour since he finished doing this, Su Chen took a sip of tea, looked at the open study door, and frowned slightly.
This Wu Zixun has been gone for so long, why hasn't he come back yet.
As soon as he thought of the other party, Wu Zixun ran back and threw his hand outside the study: "Wang, I asked Mr. Zhuge about it, he didn't receive any news of pirates, and he didn't feel at ease, so he went to Lord Cai of Yanjing Ling, and there was indeed an official letter from Feiyungang." ”
As he spoke, he took the letter from his bosom and put it on the table, and then took another one.
"By the way, I just happened to run into the post house on the way, so I brought it together, and it was sent by Ding'an City."
Su Chen opened the official letter and glanced at it, and when he heard the word 'Ding'an', he put down the official letter first, took the letter and unfolded it, and swept his eyes over the contents.
His brow furrowed, and his face sank.
Guo Jia was injured...... He fled back to Zhangzhou and is currently returning to Ding'an City, and the letter was also sent by him, while Su Ting was taken captive, and the attacker was a group of rivers and lakes in the Wei State.
However, Guo Jia pointed out in the letter that behind the other party should be the Wei court.
Since Fenzhou was invaded by the Wei army, Guo Jia sent a letter to himself, saying that half of the tax revenue of the eight counties of Ding'an and Gulang would be taken to Wei to collect grain endlessly.
It's the best of both worlds.
Unexpectedly, in just two months, the other party had already reacted, but it seemed that he didn't want Su Chen to know that it was done by the Wei court, and he used the rivers and lakes and green forests to secretly attack.
Take Su Ting away, is this a warning to yourself?
"Call Pei Min and Li Bai!"
Su Chen sat back on the chair and threw the letter on the table, and after a while, Pei Min took a few people here first, and he stepped into the study with a sword and handed it over.
"What do you command, my lord?"
"The Embroidery Division has been established for more than a month, it's time to see the effect, the Sword Saint and the Sword Immortal should also draw their swords and give the Embroidery Division a name, it just so happens that Lone has something for you here."
Su Chen gave him the letter, "Immediately go south to Zhangzhou, cross the Hunhe River to the territory of Wei as quickly as possible, and if Su Ting is still alive, rescue him." ”
The palm of his hand slapped on the desk, and his voice that had been gentle for a long time finally became fierce: "Lone's side will also put pressure on Wei Guo!" ”
