"Treat your head and offer wine?" Wei Ba was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood. Zhang Wen is a descendant of the Tianshi lineage. When Zhang Lu, the lineage master, was under house arrest in Luoyang, he did not dare to show his face to avoid bringing danger to his family in Luoyang.
. Then to mobilize the Celestial Master Taoist congregation, another leader was needed. Zhang Wen gave him the job of curing the head and offering wine, and he became famous. At the same time, he accepted this position and was included in the Celestial Master.
In the Tao system, Zhang Wen will be the Celestial Master in the future and will be the spiritual leader of all the Celestial Masters and Taoists in the world. His status within the sect is naturally higher than that of the great Jitoujiujiu in Guanzhong District. He can give orders to him, or at least exert influence.
It cannot be said that the status is disrespectful.
This is the condition prescribed by Tianshi Dao, and it is also Zhang Wen's condition.
Wei Ba couldn't help but think of the Chairman. When the Chairman just debuted, he also worked as a younger brother under a tycoon. Later he ruled the world, but the tycoon didn't dare to really treat him as his disciple. Zhang Wen opened his mouth and said,
Even if he wanted to play such a trick, he would not think about it. Although the power of kings in China is divinely authorized, how can divine power really control the power of kings?
He smiled more sincerely: "I'm going to serve as a priest to cure my head, so I'm afraid I'm not qualified?"
"Joining the army's understanding of Taoism is beyond ordinary people, and Dahetu is even more inscrutable. If we are not qualified to join the army, wouldn't we, the people like us, have to die of shame?" Zhang Wen also laughed. He knew that Wei Ba would not be able to do it now.
Reject this condition. If Wei Ba wanted to defend Guanzhong, he could not refuse the help of one hundred thousand disciples of Tianshi Dao. Otherwise, with the 20,000 troops of Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, he would not be able to gain a foothold. He approached Wei Ba and used
It seemed like a whisper, but in fact the voice that everyone nearby could hear said: "Joining the army, to be honest with you, this is a condition that has been tacitly approved by the department master. It is just for safety reasons that we did not fall into it. However,
This Dao Seal can be handed over to you now."
Zhang Wen took out a jade seal from his arms, put it in front of Wei Ba with both hands, and looked at Wei Ba with piercing eyes. Wei Ba looked at the jade seal and knew that as long as he took this seal, he would be in Guanzhong District.
Zhitou offers a great wine sacrifice, and he can immediately command one hundred thousand followers of the Celestial Master. But in this way, Zhang Wen, the successor of the Celestial Master, becomes his spiritual leader.
At least Zhang Wen thinks so.
Wei Ba took a step back, took the jade seal with both hands, bowed to the east, and said with a smile: "Then I should be respectful and obey your orders?"
Zhang Wen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's right. It's our great fortune and the Taoist sect's fortune to have such a great talent as joining the army."
Wei Ba smiled: "Meng Yu's words are serious. Although I have been appointed as the chief minister to offer wine, I am not familiar with the affairs of the Taoist sect, so I need the help of Meng Yu and all my fellow Taoists."
"This is natural." Zhang Wen and the people next to him exchanged a look of satisfaction and said with emotion: "Dajijiu is busy with military affairs. If you need anything, just leave it to us."
Wei Ba nodded: "Since we are all a family, I won't be polite. I need you to gather as many believers as possible in the shortest possible time, especially those who are good at various crafts. I need you to be by the Wei River.
Establish a large-scale grain and ordnance processing workshop. In addition, I will also organize a chariot battalion to be equipped with various new types of equipment that I have invented and improved." He looked at Zhang Wen and others and said seriously: "These are all
It's a sharp weapon, I can only hand it over to the most trustworthy person."
Zhang Wen and others were overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to accept the order: "I sincerely follow the decree of Zhitou to offer wine."
Wei Ba just wanted to laugh. Is this what I mean by taking office? Zhang Wen is really a well-behaved boy. Although he has already decided to be the next Heavenly Master, he still regards himself as an ordinary disciple and is very respectful to him, the head doctor.
…
With the help of 100,000 Heavenly Masters and Taoists, half of the big stone in Wei Ba's heart fell, but he still did not dare to relax. While Zhao Su was negotiating with those Guanzhong people, he rushed to the supply camp to check. So far,
At the call of Zhang Wen and others, the number of Tianshi Daoists and Guanzhong people who rushed to the vicinity of Chang'an has reached more than 30,000. Wei Ba selected more than 4,000 people who were skilled in various crafts and enriched them into the supply camp.
The process management of modern industry divided them into different types of work. According to the drawings he specified, he began to process various parts. Classification by type of work was to improve efficiency on the one hand, and to keep it confidential on the other. He would process it in the supply camp.
These weapons are the most powerful weapons in the world, and they will also be relied upon by him to dominate Guanzhong and make achievements in the future. No matter how careful he is, they are all worth it.
After more than a month of preparation, the first batch of craftsmen have become accustomed to this new working method, and their cooperation has become tacit. Various infrastructures have been completed. Wei Ba built a large workshop by the Weishui River.
, dozens of water mills and water turbines were first set up. The water mill was to solve the problem of feeding these tens of thousands of people. Tens of thousands of people gathered together, and the food consumed every day was a scary number. In order to prepare food for these people, only grinding
It would take hundreds of people to do this, but now with these water mills, as long as a dozen or so people are watching, the task can be easily completed.
The water turbine is the power Wei Ba prepared for the next workshop production. Using inexhaustible water power, he can save a lot of manpower and build a large-scale ordnance processing workshop in a short time to supply the next
Guanzhong Offensive and Defense War. When tens of thousands of troops fight, the two most important foundations are food and ordnance. Without sufficient food and ordnance, it is meaningless even if there are elite soldiers. It is impossible for the soldiers to fight on an empty stomach.
Confront Cao Wei's army empty-handed. Food and ordnance are the material basis to ensure a long-lasting war, and to some extent are more important than recruiting more troops.
Wei Ba has learned the art of war from his father Wei Yan, and his master Zhao Yun has also learned how to command battles, but his focus is not on that now. He believes that the most cautious master Zhao Yun is Zhengyi, and the most adventurous father Wei Yan is Qi.
, even if Cao Wei's army arrives, they may not be able to easily open the gap in Guanzhong. However, if there is not sufficient supply of food and ordnance, even if they recruit another 50,000 troops, they may not be able to defend Guanzhong.
Things have their own priorities. For him, the most important thing right now is to establish this base. To this end, he is racking his brains every day to improve the existing ordnance, find better designs, and then
Draw them into drawings, break them down into parts diagrams, and hand them over to the craftsmen in the workshop for production, equipment, testing, and further improvement. Most of the craftsmen these days are illiterate, and they have to keep an eye on many things by themselves. They cannot do anything.
Any negligence, otherwise the parts will not be assembled.
Fortunately, after more than a month of working together, he and these craftsmen have developed some tacit understanding, and they are no longer as unable to communicate as they were at the beginning.
Standing by the Wei River, Wei Ba felt very pleased as he looked at the workshops rising up one after another. He believed that after the workshop in front of him, which uses water power as its basic power, is completed, it may be the largest and most technologically advanced in the world.
The arsenal, with countless powerful weapons, will go from here to various city defenses in Guanzhong, and then to the whole world.
He was an engineer in his previous life, and he was content with just a few soldiers. He never thought that one day he would build such a huge workshop from scratch. With more than 4,000 people, if it were a later generation, this would be a factory with an annual output value of
It is a medium-sized enterprise with more than one billion people, and now it is a first-class large-scale enterprise. After its completion, it will be enough to attract the attention of people all over the world. Wei Ba believes that there may be workshops with more people, but in terms of advanced technology and production
In terms of ability, this workshop is definitely second to none.
After the infrastructure construction is completed, Wei Ba's affairs will be relatively simple. He can devote more energy to the development of new products, the cultivation of talents, and transfer to the real military field. If he wants to succeed in this
In troubled times, military power is the most fundamental thing. Although master and father are worthy of trust, they will get old after all, and their ideas may not be completely consistent with his. In this regard, perhaps Zhao Yunbi, who is cautious by nature, is better than Yixin.
The father who only focuses on the battlefield can understand him better.
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats from behind, interrupting Wei Ba's thoughts. Wei Ba turned his head and saw Zhao Yun riding a white horse and galloping with a few guards. He hurriedly went up to meet him and said with a smile: "Master,
Are you finished with today’s training?”
"It's done." Zhao Yun jumped off the horse, threw the reins to the guards beside him, strode over, looked at the workshops built along the river, and smiled while stroking his gray beard: "The war is about to begin.
Can your workshop start providing ordnance?"
"In three to five days, the first batch of improved repeater crossbow vehicles will be assembled."
"That's great." Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "Cao Zhen's army has arrived at Pubanjin. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to catch up."
Wei Ba was surprised: "How many people?"
"More than 20,000 people." Zhao Yun paused and then said: "However, since Cao Rui dared to mobilize all the imperial troops staying in the capital, it must be that the war in the southeast is over, and it won't take long for Cao Wei's army to gather together.
Tongguan, Wuguan. Tongguan is well prepared, easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it is not a big problem, but Wuguan and Pubanjin are the top priority. Wuguan still has a city to defend, but Pubanjin doesn’t even have a city. We just
Being able to defend by the river. Ziyu, with fifteen thousand recruits who have never actually been on the battlefield, it is not an easy task to defend Pubanjin."
Wei Ba laughed easily: "Master, I believe that with you and my father joining forces, and with these workshops in front of us, there will be no problem in guarding Guanzhong."
"So confident?" Zhao Yun stroked his beard and looked at Wei Ba with a half-smile.
"Yes, I have confidence in you, and I have confidence in myself." Wei Ba pointed to a water mill in the distance: "Master, do you know, there is a water mill there, and only two people guard it, but it is equivalent to
The efficiency of fifty people is amazing, right? In fact, what does this water mill have? It is just a pile of wood, and then some iron is added in such a small amount that it is almost negligible. But through the combination, they can
Exhibiting unbelievable power.”
"That repeating crossbow cart can hold up to several crossbowmen."
"Master, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Are you interested in seeing it?"
Zhao Yun laughed: "That's what I meant."
