As for the production of crossbows in this era, not only did the materials for making bows very strict, but there were also detailed regulations on the specific process steps. "If you take six materials, you must use the time. Once the six materials are gathered, the skillful ones will be able to adapt it."

In winter, the bow is analyzed, the horn is treated in spring, the tendons are treated in summer, the materials are closed in autumn, the bow arm is placed in the bow box and the shape is fixed in the cold winter, and the appearance is treated in severe winter when the cold winter is extremely cold. In winter, the bow is naturally smooth and fine; in spring, the corner is naturally moist and soft; in summer, the tendons are naturally not entangled; in autumn, the materials are closed in autumn, and the bow is white and tight; in cold winter, the bow will not deform; in severe winter, the glue is completely solid, so the appearance can be cured. Install the bow string in spring and store it for another year before it can be used.

The above complex process takes two to three years. In the bow making workshop, since various tasks can be carried out interleaved and flowing, there are batches of finished products every year, but as far as a bow is concerned, the working hours cannot be shortened. The manufacturing of composite bows represents the peak of ancient bow making techniques, but the question is, does this young master have so much time to do such tedious things?

At least I don’t, let alone the appearance of the steel crossbow allows me to obtain the finished product of long-range weapons in a very short time. Why not do it?

Nowadays, the most important thing is the use of simple lathes. Well, this thing is very simple. Anyone who has seen a sewing machine will know that the oldest machine tools, even the complexity is not as precise as the sewing machine.

Because water trucks are used the most frequently in my various factories, but because of the wooden structures, it is easy to cause damage and affect the progress of the project, so I began to consider the use of lathes since then.

After nearly a year of arrival here, I designed it with the craftsmen and finally made the first machine tool. Now, the machine tool can be threaded, and steel ball bearings have been made.

This greatly reduces friction in today's vehicles. In addition, the emergence of shock absorption to the steel plate makes the vehicle appear more stable. The spring is still under development.

Well, I have to say that the large number of refugees recruited are simply a treasure pot for me. There are countless talents in it, and there are more than 300 blacksmiths alone.

There are also tailors, carpenters, shoemakers, doctors, agricultural experts, business talents, and even some veterans who are experienced in many battles. In short, this young master tries to make them as much as possible.

It can be said that at the beginning, Hancheng County was just like a large factory, but today, Hancheng County is more like an emerging city. Although land transportation is underdeveloped, the growth of water trade has reached a jaw-dropping level.

Nowadays, the fleet of Hancheng County has twenty-seven medium-sized sand ships carrying 2,500 stones. Now, the dock has increased from the single digits in the past to twenty-seven, and there are three sand ships that can leave every month.

This new ship, which is fast, has a large capacity for transportation, and is not easy to get stranded in shallows, is very popular. So far, only two have been sold. Because I feel that it is not enough for me to transport goods by myself.

There are three other docks, which are specialized in the development of new ships. Now, the developed ones include small and medium-sized Fu Ship, Galen Ship and Clippers. Through the test ship, it is proved that the speed of the Clippers is the fastest among the known ships, and even sand ships cannot catch up.

Think about it, this thing is, before the steam engine ship arrives, the world is the fastest ocean ship. It’s strange that it’s not that fast.

Unfortunately, this young master is in the heart of the Central Plains, which is too far away from the sea estuary, so now he can only test and train some sailors on the sample ships so that they can familiarize themselves with the operation of these ships and lay the foundation for future long voyages.

In a valley about twenty-seven miles away from Hancheng County, this is the real military camp. Five thousand soldiers are stationed here, and all the soldiers are undergoing arduous training. Watching the soldiers holding bows and crossbows, there are stones falling on the crossbows, so that they must keep their hands stable under such circumstances.

At the river beach not far away, the soldiers were fighting there, all of whom were using weapons that were not stolen. But even so, if they really had to be hit, they would have to be blue for at least three or five days.

The soldiers in another place were conducting rock climbing training, and on the vast school ground, about a battalion soldiers were standing there with their luggage in full arms. They were preparing for outdoor camps and also needed to camp outside. Such long-distance outdoor camp training is a regular subject, mainly to exercise their willpower and endurance.

Standing on the tall building on the side of the military camp, I admired the training of these soldiers. Next to him, Li Yuanfang and others, as well as Han Shiye and Han Xiong, were all here.

"Brother, do you really dare to expect that the emperor will encounter a crisis in northern Xinjiang?" Han Shiye, who was burly and wearing iron armor, stroked the thick beard under his chin, looked at the soldiers who were training hard, frowned and said.

"The Turks nowadays have many conflicts with our Great Sui Dynasty. What's more important is that the fact that Pei Zuocheng designed to kill Shi Shu and Hu Si a few days ago has already angered Shibi Khan." When I said this, I couldn't help but feel helpless.

In this way, the Great Sui Dynasty was already in turmoil, and the Right Guanglu Dafu, Shangshu Zuo Cheng, one of the important advisors and ministers of the Sui Dynasty, an outstanding diplomat, strategist, and an expert on geographical and ethnic issues. He had realized that compared with the current Great Sui Dynasty, the gradual prosperity of the Turkic Shibi Khan's tribe would pose a huge threat to the Great Sui Dynasty, and he specially offered advice to Yang Guang to disperse the power of the Turkic Shibi Khan.

Yang Guang followed Pei Ju's opinion and planned to marry Shibi Khan's younger brother Chi Jishe with his royal family daughter and named him the Khan in the south. However, fearing the power of Shibi Khan, Chi Jishe did not dare to accept the enthronement.

This incident made Shibi Khan resent the Great Sui Dynasty. Shi Shuhu, the minister of the Turks, was good at trying and was valued by Shibi Khan. Pei Ju said that he was engaged in business with Shishuhu and lured Shishuhu to kill him. Then Yang Guang sent an envoy to Shibi Khan to announce an edict to Shishuhuhu, saying that Shishuhuhu betrayed Shibi Khan and surrendered to the Great Sui Dynasty. In order to maintain your authority and help you, the emperor killed that guy.

Shibi is not a fool. After learning about this situation, he decided not to enter the court again. Now, Yang Guang is trying to inspect the border. How could Shibi Khan, who is already hating Yang Guang's actions, easily miss such an opportunity?

Besides, the Central Plains are now in chaos, and Shibi's ambitions are probably starting to burn. If he could capture Yang Guang or kill him, the Central Plains, which had already become a mess, would be in a mess. At that time, maybe he would be able to enter the rich Central Plains like his ancestors.

"My virtuous words are reasonable, but you can really be sure that if you go to help him, will Yang Guang be able to escape?" Han Shiye said to himself after stroking his thigh for a long time.

"Whether to save or not is just a question of attitude. What is important is what kind of benefits we can get from this rescue. This is the most important thing." This young master raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Yang Qiong nodded in agreement, "Yes, our current strength is still not enough. However, in a county, it is close to the limit to be able to train more than 10,000 elite soldiers. If you want to have greater strength, at this stage, you still need to make achievements during Yang Guang's suffering."

Yang Qiong pointed to the distance and said enthusiastically: "The young master is in such a county. If you give the young master a county, I believe it will be enough to pacify the world."

"Since that's the case, Brother Yu has nothing to say." Han Shiye, who was pondering, nodded and sighed. After experiencing a life and death, although he hated Yang Guang to the core, he knew very well that with his current strength, he could not deal with Yang Guang at all.

As long as you can see Yang Guang's erratic, the Sui Dynasty will perish. No matter what means you use, let alone after spending so long time together, Han Shiye knew very well how amazing this young master's intelligence was, so he did not object anymore.

However, Han Shiye would never rescue Yang Guang. He would rather stay and train the recruits. At that time, this son and county magistrate Han Xiong will lead the troops to rescue Yang Guang, and Yang Qiong will be in charge of the county town.

I remember that in history, Li Shimin's first formation was this year to rescue Yang Guang. Although I don't know the role this guy played in this war, I know very well, should he do it?

The most important thing is to gather a group of like-minded people to go to rescue, rather than to join the rescue team of XXX Prefect. Anyway, we are going to get fame, not to die.

Go with someone else, what if I make my current attack swollen? I am not idle yet and have an interest in going to the battlefield to seek death.

For this reason, at the end of June, I wrote to Chang'an and told my friends that my friends that the emperor's patrol of the northern border would cause unpredictable changes. Maybe we may have the opportunity to make achievements.

Sure enough, in late July, news came that Yang Guang was going to inspect the northern frontier and it was indeed coming, and the young master's preparation was also stepping up. The newly recruited five thousand soldiers were being strictly trained.

In early August, we finally received the news that Yang Guang had already set out five days ago and toured the northern part of the Seige. What was shocking was that on the fourth day after receiving the news, I received a letter from Feige. On the third day after Yang Guang arrived in the northern part of the Seige, Shibi Khan ordered a cavalry of 400,000 to plan the attack on Yang Guang's carriage, and Princess Yicheng first sent an envoy to report the shocking change to Yang Guang. Yang Guang and his party hurried into Yanmen. The King of Qi Yang led the rear army to Gan County.
