[69 Book Bar-www.] I felt a little unhappy. I was already distracted by Wu Wanling. Although he was polite, he seemed much more accustomed to him. And his words were full of frankness, his immediate boss Bi Wei
, It is not like this. Could it be that he was influenced by Bi Wei and was wary of me? Although I was unhappy in my heart, I still smiled and said, "Brother Wu, go, go to my new home."
Have a drink.”
Xue Wen also shouted, "What? Have you gotten married?" He didn't know what his expression was in his eyes. I knew he was thinking apart and said, "It was a house given by the emperor, in Maoer Hutong in the west of the city.
Not big. By the way, Brother Xue, where is Zhang Longyou now? Why is he so elusive?"
Xue Wenyi said: "He is very busy now. Although he is the chief minister of the Ministry of Works, I have not seen him for almost a month. I heard that he has been in the construction site in the north of the city under the secret order of Hou Wen. Most people cannot see him.
.”
I sighed, "Dangyou's contribution to breaking the Snake Man's siege of the imperial capital is the best. Without his gunpowder and dragon cannon, how could we chat here? What is he doing now?"
Xue Wenyi smiled slightly, looked at Wu Wanling, and said, "Don't you know yet?"
I said in surprise, "What? I just came back, how could I know."
Xue Wenyi said: "Maybe Lord Wenhou hasn't told you yet. Brother Wu, tell me about it."
Wu Wanling said, "Yes." He turned around and said to me, "General Chu, in fact, I was transferred back to Beijing by Lord Wenhou this time. I was ordered by General Bi to observe the armored cart."
"Iron armored car?" I frowned. Xue Wenyi smiled and said, "No," not bad. In the past few months, Zhang Longyou and the people from Jin Mansion and Mu Mansion have been discussing this matter, which was only a few days ago that they had initially succeeded."
I said, "What the hell is that?"
Xue Wenyi said: "That is, a car equipped with iron armor, for war."
The Snake Man is too strong in the field. Our army is not the opponent of the Snake Man in the field. But to defeat the Snake Man, it is necessary to fight in the field. Therefore, Wenhou came up with such an idea. I said: "But, the car is loaded with it.
Although the defense is strong, can it still move? It takes at least four or five thousand kilograms to install iron armor."
Wu Wanling shook his head and said, "It's far more. Although the weight has been reduced to the maximum extent, each car still has tens of thousands of kilograms."
Tens of thousands of kilograms! I remember that the truck used to transport grain was filled with seven or eight thousand kilograms. It was already difficult for such a truck to move. Now a cart with armor is empty and there are tens of thousands of kilograms.
I don’t know how many horses I need to pull. Such a heavy car may only be able to defend and cannot attack at all. I said, “How fast is it when driving?”
Wu Wanling thought for a while and said, "Of course it's not as fast as the horse. However, if the road is good, you can walk about twenty miles in one hour."
This speed is naturally much slower than the speed of the cavalry, but it is also equivalent to the average marching speed and ship speed. I was shocked and said, "Can you always go so fast?"
Xue Wenyi said: "I just took a look and heard that the armored car is not a horse-drawn one. It contains organic stakes, and can drive it by one person. You can always walk so fast if two people change shifts. If necessary, go
It's OK to be faster."
That was indeed a powerful weapon. I felt a lot of turmoil in my heart, and I couldn't say it was exciting. Unexpectedly, after I walked for a few months, such a powerful weapon appeared again. If this continues, I will completely defeat the Snake Man.
It was indeed no longer a dream. I grabbed Xue Wenyi and said, "Where is that armored car? Can you take me to see it?"
Xue Wenyi was caught by me and said "ah" and I quickly let him go and said, "Brother Xue, I'm sorry. Can you take me to see it?"
Xue Wenyi stroked his arm and said, "Brother Chu, you are so strong, you are almost scratched by you. The iron armored car can't be seen now. It's the most confidential one. The person who knows this thing,
There are not many people in the entire empire yet.”
I was a little disappointed. Before I could say it, Xue Wenyi sneered and said, "What are you anxious about? Brother Wu just now, I discussed it and I think that if the armored car can become an army, you will not be the commander.
Two candidates.”
Perhaps what Wenhou said was to send me a great advantage, so I would like to command the armored car. My mind was already on this armored car, and I wish I could see it immediately. I said, "How powerful is that armored car?
?”
Wu Wanling said: "I have seen it once, and I can't get in after ordinary swords and guns. Five people can stay in the iron armored car. When driving, it can be said that it is invincible."
Wu Wanling spoke very realistically, and even he said so, I was even more curious. With the dragon cannon for long attacks and the armored vehicles for melee battles, the Imperial Army is probably the most powerful army in history.
After waiting for another question, Xue Wenyi said, "Brother Chu, aren't you going to treat me? Let's go."
I smiled and said, "Let's go."
In the imperial capital, I don’t have many friends. In addition to Qian Wenyi and Cao Wendao from the Forward Camp, the other ones I can talk about were Shao Fengguan and Li Yaotian. I took Xue Wenyi and Wu Wanling to my new home and went out to find him.
Shao Fengguan. When he arrived at the camp of the Feng Legion, there was no one inside. The soldiers garrisoned said that Shao Fengguan had been drawn to the front line again. Now the weather is getting colder, and the Snake Man's offensive has begun to weaken again, but it is still not to be underestimated. Shao Fengguan's Feng Legion's number
although
Younger, it is of great use on the front line. Li Yaotian is still there. The keel of the forty-fourth-foot-long ship has been built, but it will take about one to two months to build the entire ship. After all, this ship is too big.
.I arrived at Li Yaotian's residence, but happened to meet Park Shim. As soon as Park Shim saw me, he bowed respectfully. He went to Wuyang City with him once. I also knew that he was reserved and did not go to him.
He was so polite, and said, "General Park, are you General Lee here?"
Park Shidun said: "General Lee is inspecting the shipyard, I'll take you there."
The shipyard by Dinghu Lake is also forbidden. It has heavy troops to guard it, but as soon as you enter it, you will hear it very lively. Li Yaotian was watching a team of craftsmen busy with their hands behind their backs. Park Shi said without coming forward and informed him. Li Yaotian turned his head and smiled.
Then he came up and said, "General Chu, what reward did you receive when you went to court today?"
I said, "Brother Li, please stop making fun of me. Let's go to my new home and have a few drinks."
Li Yaotian looked at the busy craftsmen and said, "Okay, I'll take care of you again." He seemed to be in a bad mood, and bowed to me and said, "General Chu, thank you for taking back Xianyan's treasure."
A, I haven't thanked you yet."
I said, "What do you want to thank you? I should thank you. It's not because of Park Semi-meng's great strength. We are just afraid that we will die at the hands of the pirates."
