Chapter 67: The Wisdom of the Craftsman (I)


Jincheng is located in the southeast of the grain city more than 100 miles, is located in a small valley, is the new metallurgical base of Xixia, here is the highest scientific and technological content of the place, where there are the most advanced metallurgical technology and high-tech products; Therefore, it was also one of the most heavily defended places in Western Xia.

On this day, Li Liangzuo did not greet anyone, and rushed to Jincheng with more than 100 cavalry, which was a surprise inspection by Li Liangzuo, Li Liangzuo wanted to see the real situation in Jincheng, and this was also the first time Li Liangzuo arrived in Jincheng.

"Those outside the city dismount immediately, or we will release the arrows."

The defenders on the city tower pointed their bows and arrows at Li Liangzuo and his party and said.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Fuzi was furious and said, "Bastard, Your Majesty is here to go out of the city to greet you." ” "Do you have a token, Lord Jin has ordered that anyone who doesn't have a token will not be allowed to enter."

The sergeant defending the city shouted at Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo said to the sergeant in a loud voice: "I didn't bring a token in a hurry, please let the sergeant go in."

The sergeant said righteously: "No, if I let you in today, my head will fall to the ground in the next moment, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise you will be arrested and imprisoned as spies." ” Li Liangzuo smiled and said: "This general, I am close friends with your family Master Jin, please let us in, if you let me in, I will give you a hundred taels of gold." ” When the sergeant heard Li Liangzuo's words, he immediately ordered; Then he said to the soldiers beside him: "Go and report to Lord Jin, just say that there are spies outside the city." ” "Yes" Li Liangzuo saw that the arrows were released on the city tower, and immediately turned his horse back, which not only frightened Li Liangzuo but also frightened Xiaofuzi and the guards, Li Liangzuo retreated to an arrow, dismounted and sat on the ground and laughed: "I really didn't expect that one day I almost let my army be reimbursed." ” "Your Majesty, you still have the heart to laugh, you were almost shot just now, if you have any accidents, the elders of the national capital are not allowed to eat the minions," Xiao Fuzi complained.

Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "Let's all sit down and rest, and it won't be long before Jin Shoucheng will come out to pick us up." ” This time Li Liangzuo really thought wrong, when the soldier went to find Jin Shoucheng, Jin Shoucheng was making a new type of crossbow in the room at this time, and at the same time ordered no one to disturb, the soldier could only let people go back and tell the sergeant guarding the city that he was waiting outside the door alone; It's hard for Li Liangzuo to be bitter now.

It took half a day to get from the grain stall to Jincheng Li Liangzuo, so Li Liangzuo didn't bring anything to eat at all, which was two hours of waiting outside, Li Liangzuo's stomach was already hungry, but there was no way who let Li Liangzuo not bring a token When Jin Shoucheng came out of the room, it was already two hours later, Jin Shoucheng ran to the city tower as soon as he heard that there were spies outside, and he didn't care about resting, at this time Li Liangzuo was lying on the grass outside the city basking in the sun, others didn't know Li Liangzuo, Jin Shoucheng could know that although it was far away, Jin Shoucheng recognized the guards guarding Li Liangzuo at a glance.

So Jin Shoucheng led people to climb outside the city, Jin Shoucheng came to Li Liangzuo's side, immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Wechen Jin Shoucheng greeted Your Majesty, and Wechen greeted him late and hoped that Your Majesty would punish the crime." ” Li Liangzuo blew a cowhide to his subordinates before, saying that he would enter the city soon, but this wait was two hours, which made Li Liangzuo very faceless, so he made it difficult for Jin Shoucheng and said: "Yo, Lord Jin is here, I don't dare to give you such a big gift, hurry up, hurry up."

When Jin Shoucheng heard this, where did he dare to get up, knelt on the ground and trembled, he was about to cry and said: "Weichen is a capital crime by blocking His Majesty from the city, please punish Your Majesty." ” "Okay, get up," Li Liangzuo said angrily; "The sergeant who kept me out of the door brought him."

The sergeant knelt down in front of Li Liangzuo and said, "The last general will meet Your Majesty." ” "Do you know what it is to keep me out of the door?"

asked the sergeant.

The sergeant said righteously: "Capital crime, according to the law of Tiansheng, the nine clans should be destroyed." ” "Okay, since you know that I am the emperor this time, what will you do if I have to enter the city next time I don't have a token" Li Liangzuo asked with a sharp look in his eyes.

The sergeant did not stop for the slightest, and replied stiffly: "Just like this time, stop Your Majesty outside the city." ” Li Liangzuo said angrily: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"The last will be afraid of death."

The sergeant said; "The last general implores His Majesty to punish the sins of one of his ministers, and they are only acting on the orders of the last general."

"What's your name," Li Liangzuo continued.

The sergeant replied stiffly: "The last general, Zheng Hao, please forgive your majesty." ” Li Liangzuo stood in front of Zheng Hao and gave an order: "Zheng Hao listens to the order, and I will crown Zheng Hao as a military captain, which is directly under the jurisdiction of my personal guard battalion and is responsible for guarding Jincheng. ” Zheng Hao was stunned for a moment, Jin Shoucheng kicked Zheng Hao and said, "Zheng Hao, thank Your Majesty for your grace." ” Zheng Hao reacted at this time, and immediately kowtowed and thanked him: "Weichen thank Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ” Li Liangzuo laughed and said: "Get up, remember that in the future, no one, including me, will be allowed to enter the city without a token, and if someone enters, I will be punished for two crimes and cut you on the spot." ” "Yes, Weichen takes the order."

Zheng Hao took the military order.

Li Liangzuo said with great satisfaction: "It seems that I didn't come in vain this time, enter the city, let me see what this golden city is like."

After entering Jincheng, Jin Shoucheng originally wanted Li Liangzuo to eat first, but Li Liangzuo did not agree, but asked to inspect the workshops, first Li Liangzuo came to the blast furnace steelmaking workshop, the blast furnace was built according to Li Liangzuo's requirements, there was a large blower next to the blast furnace, Li Liangzuo was ecstatic to see this blower.

Because this blower is very different from the bellows of this era, a very important reason why Xixia was able to manufacture a strong cold forging armor is because there are double wooden bellows, and what is placed in front of Li Liangzuo is no longer within the scope of bellows, but a large blower, the difference is that this blower is powered by people.

"Your Majesty, this is a new type of bellows made by Weichen, the employer drives the wheel wheel through the iron chain by stepping on the turntable, and the wheel wheel is connected by a bearing to provide power for the fan, which is the same principle as His Majesty's bicycle; With this new type of bellows, manpower can be greatly saved.

Jin Shoucheng thought Li Liangzuo explained.

Out of the steelmaking workshop, Li Liangzuo came to the cold forging workshop, where Li Liangzuo once again saw an advanced cold forging machinery; It turned out that the cold-forged armor pieces of Western Xia were all made by blacksmiths with iron hammers, which was not only time-consuming but also laborious, which was also the reason why there were few iron harriers and heavy armored cavalry.

But now the situation is different, although most of the cold forging machinery that Li Liangzuo saw is still a wood structure, it is a mechanical device like a blower, and the power of this device is still manpower; This cold-forging machine is similar to the stone pestle used in ancient times, except that the stone pestle is used to smash rice, while it is used to smash the armor.

This cold-forging machine is also powered by a pedal wheel, which, unlike the blower's pedal wheel, is connected to a pedal log and can be powered by three people.

The pedal wheel drives another wheel by a chain, and to the wheel is connected to a large wooden gear.

Above the big gear and a rectangular thick wooden stick coincides, when the big gear moves downward, it will press the wooden stick downward, the big hammer at the other end of the wooden stick will be lifted, when the gear teeth move to the bottom can not hold the wooden stick, the hammer will fall, in order to achieve the purpose of forging.

The third is sent, Tianyu's task today is completed, I hope you will continue to support Tianyu, give more rewards and send more tickets, thank you
