Hu Mo took a deep breath and bowed to him: "I'm Hu Mo, see you."
"See your majesty!"
The rest of the Mohists and the Ministry of industry saluted one after another.
Their clothes are very shabby. After all, they wake up all the way and travel day and night. No matter how good their clothes are, they can't stand the long journey. Even on the people, there is a faint taste, which makes people frown slightly.
Zhang Xiu was aware of it and said, "it's hard for you to come all the way. But when it comes to artillery research, we need to cultivate our spirit and a clear mind. Now, you all go down to wash and rest. I'll see you again tomorrow morning. "
Hu Mo couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, our spirit is very good. We don't need to rest."
"Sire, we don't need a rest."
"We are very sober."
"Your Majesty, please believe us. We must be very sober and rational."
……
One by one, Mohist craftsmen kept on talking.
Everyone's eyes reflect light. They want to see the cannon immediately. Then they disassemble it and study the structure and manufacture of the cannon carefully.
This is the spirit of craftsman.
It is with such a spirit of inquiry that these Mohist craftsmen can produce one weapon after another and more devices.
Zhang Xiu looked at this group of people, some moved, but also some sad.
These craftsmen are very lovely.
One by one, they dragged their tired bodies, but they did not care about their own situation. They wanted to see the cannon immediately, and then began to study. But just like this, Zhang Xiu can't agree, because today's group of people are exhausted and need a good rest.
Zhang Xiu said, "come on!"
With Zhang Xiu's order, his own soldiers entered.
Zhang Xiu said: "take Hu Mo and others down, so that they can be served. Let them wash their clothes, have a good meal and have a good rest. "
"Here it is
The soldier got the order and motioned Hu Mo to go out.
Hu Mo sees Zhang Xiu's order, but he can't refuse it. He can only thank Zhang Xiu, and then turns back with the others.
After this group of people retired, Pang Tong said with emotion: "after so many years, although Hu Mo has been successful, even though he is in a high position, there is still no change. The same is true of the Mohist children who entered the Ministry of industry. These people are all craftsmen immersed in the production of utensils. These people are admirable. "
Guo Jia echoed: "what a great man said is true. Hu Mo and others are indeed worthy of respect."
Zhang Xiu said: "Hu Mo and others have their own things to do. But now, you have a lot of things to do Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu looked at Gan Ning and others and said, "Gan Ning, Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun listen to the order."
"I'm here!"
Gan Ning, Zhang Ren and Zhao yunqi should go down.
All three looked solemn.
Zhang Xiu said: "the three of you, each of you, will dispatch troops to fight, lead the army to continue to advance westward, and wipe out the guishuang thieves in Zhangye and Jiuquan. After cleaning up the soldiers of Kushan state, the three armies were stationed at the border of Daqin. When the artillery is properly arranged and new weapons are developed, I will personally visit the Daqin border. "
"Here it is
Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and Zhang Ren agreed to come down.
It's not difficult to wipe out the Kushan soldiers everywhere. After all, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and Zhang Ren have the ability to handle things well by themselves.
But next, we have to fight against Kushan, so the three armies work together.
Zhang Xiu's eyes turned and fell on Wang Yue, saying: "Wang Yue, when it comes to inquiring about the situation, you need the cooperation of the royal guards. Your royal guards should be sent out as soon as possible to find out the situation of Kushan. In particular, we must be clear about the areas where we hand over, and there should be no mistakes. "
"I understand
Wang Yue nodded solemnly with a solemn look.
He has been in charge of the Royal Guards for many years, and he has always been devoted to seeking information. Up to now, to find out the situation of Kushan, we need to be unfamiliar. After all, it is a foreign country with different places and different soil and water, which will be more difficult.
Zhang Xiu arranged all kinds of things, and then relaxed a little. However, in the case of grenades and mines, Zhang Xiu took out the ink, paper and inkstone and drew them directly, and then showed the production method, as well as the production process and steps.
A day is fleeting.
The next day, early in the morning.
When Zhang Xiu gets up early for morning exercise, he has not had breakfast yet, and soldiers have come to report it. Hu Mo and his Mohist children ask for a meeting. After hearing this, Zhang Xiu didn't answer for the moment. At the end of morning exercise, Zhang Xiu went back to the army tent and ordered people to bring breakfast and Hu Mo and others.
Hu Mo and others enter, seeing that Zhang Xiu is having a meal, but it is a little embarrassed.
They came early.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiu looked up at Hu Mo and other people and asked, "as soon as you arrived in the morning, you came outside my camp. Did you ever have breakfast? If you haven't had breakfast yet, have dinner here. ""Thank you, long en, but I have already had breakfast."
Hu Mo bowed to answer.
Now Hu Mo is a little embarrassed. After all, it was too early for him to come with people in the early morning. So that Zhang Xiu began to eat.
After hearing this, Zhang Xiu said, "if that's the case, wait until I finish my meal."
"Here it is
Hu Mo and others responded directly.
After a while, Zhang Xiu finished, looked at Hu Mo and said, "you should all know about the cannon."
"I know!"
Hu Mo rubbed his hands and could not wait to say: "Your Majesty, we already know. Now, we are all ready, looking forward to cracking the Kushan cannons and making our own cannons. "
Zhang Xiu said: "what is involved now is not only artillery, but also hand grenades and mines that I have figured out. These two weapons are also urgently needed in the next war. "
Hu Mo asked, "Your Majesty, what is a grenade? What are mines? "
Zhang Xiu took out the manufacturing process and flow chart of grenades and mines from the desk, handed it to Hu Mo, and ordered: "the research of artillery needs you to dismantle the real object for research, which should not be difficult. However, there are detailed descriptions of grenades and mines, which should be very simple. You can develop them directly and then test them. "
Hu Mo took it over and quickly scanned it.
As a craftsman, Hu Mo is concerned about the technological process. Seeing that the technological process of grenades and mines is not complicated, he is also relieved. He didn't know about grenades and mines, but he knew how difficult it was to make.
Hu Mo assured: "sire, it is not difficult to make grenades and mines. We can develop it in three days at most. But can such a small object work? "
Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "although grenades and mines are small objects on the battlefield. But it can make a big difference. Even these two weapons, to some extent, are far more effective than cannons. At least under current conditions. So you have to develop these two weapons first. After the research is clear, mass production will be carried out. "
"Here it is
Hu and Mo should go down immediately.
For Hu Mo and his Mohist children, with the direction, manufacturing technology and process, it is not difficult to make grenades and mines.
Hu Mo was most interested in cannons. He said again, "Your Majesty, when can we touch cannons?"
"Now!"
Zhang Xiu answered, and called the soldiers, let the soldiers with Hu Mo and others to shelve the artillery warehouse.
In order to let Hu Mo and others study, they can only draw out a cannon.
Only in this way can we study it clearly.
In fact, the cannon is not complicated. The most difficult thing is to make the bore and barrel, which is the most complicated. But Zhang Xiu believes that such a thing can't defeat Hu Mo and others.
