Jiang Ning looked at the battle report in his hand and finished it in a short time.
And threw it to Yang Hui not far away.
Yang Hui took it with both hands, looked at it for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, General Shi's plan is feasible, and it can avoid casualties to a great extent!"
"Also, compared with the big arrows and the soldiers, the lives of the soldiers are more important!"
"Yeah..." Jiang Ning nodded, "I think so too!"
"Prime Minister, please immediately pass on my decree and order the Production Supervision Department and the Ministry of Industry to work together to build 150,000 large arrows within three months, and these large arrows can only be more but not less. Do you understand?"
Yang Hui accepted the order, "It's...Your Majesty!"
"If the Production Supervision Department and the Ministry of Industry can't do it, let them come to see you!"
"I obey the decree!"
In this way, under Jiang Ning's order, a nationwide rush to make big arrows was launched.
These big arrows are the bullets of the three-bow crossbow. The two are indispensable, just like a cannon must have cannonballs, otherwise it will be useless to have an empty cannon.
Wang An from the production and supervision department didn't dare to show any signs of neglect. He was busy without stopping, like a top spinning crazily.
He was in charge of supervising the work and said angrily: "Listen to me one by one. If the task cannot be completed within three months, I will definitely kill you before Your Majesty kills me. Do you hear me?"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
All the subordinates did not dare to neglect and got busy.
As the head of the production and supervision department, Wang An is aware of the speed of production. He wants to complete 150,000 large arrows within three months, and it is only a lot more. To be honest, it is a bit difficult to handle.
Thinking of this, I feel a chill on my neck for no reason...
After hesitating for a while, he bravely came to see Jiang Ning.
Soon, I saw Jiang Ning smoothly and knelt down to salute, banging my head very loudly.
This made Jiang Ning feel that Wang An came to see him specifically to kowtow. He said: "If you have anything to do, just say it directly! Don't kowtow all the time!"
Wang An was stunned and said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
Jiang Ning's eyes darkened, "What crime?"
Wang An looked frustrated and said, "Your Majesty, I want to make 150,000 large arrows within three months. I think it is impossible, so I come to apologize!"
Ah…
Are you here to apologize just now?
Jiang Ning naturally understood what Wang An was thinking, and he said slowly: "Do you think you don't have to take responsibility for coming to me to plead guilty?"
One sentence made Wang An choked and speechless.
Keep it dry in place.
Jiang Ning's meaning has been very clear. No matter who is in charge of this matter, you, Wang An, will bear the main responsibility.
Wang An was stunned by this and wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Jiang Ning's eyes darkened, and Wang An didn't dare to talk any more and just accepted it.
For a moment, he wanted to die!
Jiang Ning glanced sideways at Wang An, almost amused by the little expression on his face, and said slowly: "This has just begun, it's not the last day yet, don't be depressed!"
Wang An looked aggrieved, "Your Majesty, killing someone with a dull knife is even more uncomfortable!"
"You...you might as well give me a happy one!"
Jiang Ning said: "It takes three months to make 150,000 big arrows. No matter who it is, the possibility of completing it is slim..."
When Wang An heard the sound, the look in his eyes dimmed. Did he lie to himself for a long time?
Are you the scapegoat?
"Your Majesty, I..."
Jiang Ning interrupted and said calmly: "Don't worry, I will give you a suggestion. You can listen to it and then decide whether to live or die!"
Wang An had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree, "Yes!"
Jiang Ning continued: "The main component of a big arrow is the arrowhead, the arrow body and the iron feathers at the tail!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang An responded.
"I suggest that you order the craftsmen to produce them separately and then assemble them. Will this improve efficiency to a great extent?" Jiang Ning said slowly, using the assembly line from his previous life.
Wang An's eyes lit up when he heard this, "I haven't used this rush production method yet, you can give it a try!"
Jiang Ning continued: "You can set up a production department for arrowheads, arrow bodies, arrow tail iron blades, etc., and find specialized people to take charge of management. After completing these, they will be handed over to the department responsible for assembly..."
Wang An understood how to do it after being reminded by Jiang Ning, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I understand how to do it! I will do my best to complete the rush production task within three months!"
Jiang Ning waved his hand and said nothing more.
In his opinion, with the assembly line production method of the previous life, the first 150,000 large arrows should be completed within three months.
In this way, the war between Soochow and Wu Dynasty stopped.
It looks calm on the outside, but in fact there is an undercurrent surging behind the scenes...
Time passed by, and a month passed in a flash.
On Soochow's side, Wu Jun did not expect that Wu Chao's army could stand still for a month. To be honest, he was very surprised.
Logically speaking, according to the march route of the Wu Dynasty, they should not stop, but now it is the opposite.
Wu Jun always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it, so he called Zhang Baiyi and other generals as well as Lu Xun and other generals to his command post.
He spoke directly, "The confrontation between Soochow and Wu Dynasty has been going on for a month. According to their marching route, they should attack the city, but right now, there is no movement at all. I want to hear what you think!"
"Your Majesty, what's the point? They must be afraid of us Soochow!"
"that is!"
"Your Majesty, we believe that Wu Chao's army is not terrible and can be easily destroyed!"
People who say these words will only flatter others and follow others' influence in the court.
Moreover, these words have no nutrition or value.
Prime Minister Zhang Baiyi interrupted them, "This time our opponent is Shi Gandang, a young general in the Wu Dynasty. He also fought in the Northern Desert last year. He was extremely brave, but there is no movement now. The veteran feels that they must be plotting a big conspiracy."
Your Majesty, you must be careful about your actions!"
Wu Jun nodded, feeling that there was some truth in what he said.
Lu Xun answered, "What the Prime Minister said is not unreasonable, and this Shi Gandang is indeed extraordinary. Your Majesty, I suggest sending troops and taking the initiative to attack!"
Wu Jun wanted to defeat the enemy without fighting, but now, after more than a month of confrontation, no results were achieved, so he said in a deep voice: "Well... we can send troops!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Lu Xun accepted the emperor's order and without any hesitation, he led a hundred thousand troops out of the city.
This 100,000-strong army was composed of 20,000 cavalry, 10,000 chariots, infantry and archers... It was so majestic that it entered a state of battle as soon as it left the city, advancing step by step.
The earth trembled.
Lu Xun sent more than a hundred scouts to investigate the situation of the Wu Dynasty army.
Naturally, the news of his sending troops was also discovered by the Wu Chao Army's scouts...
After Shi Gandang and others learned that Soochow had sent a large army, they did not dare to be negligent and arranged their troops as quickly as possible.
Gathering a hundred thousand people and forming an array, it was a tit-for-tat confrontation.
For the first time since the war began, the two armies faced each other on a large scale without any cover...
