Chapter 170 The Emotions of Homesickness

Shi Quanbin was born in a wealthy family and entered the palace since he was a child. He had never seen such a scene of mountains and tsunamis in more than 20 years. Nearly a hundred huge stone bullets whizzed past the top of his head with the sound of cracking the air, and the momentum was enchanting.

After a while, Shi Quanbin came to his senses and went to the mountain to see the Jiaozhi Military Camp not far away.

There was already chaos there at this time. The stone bullets knocked over the lamps and torches, ignited the camp tents, and blazing fires were lit in several places. In the firelight, people rushed around, crying for their parents.

There were only two or three hundred people who were actually killed and injured by this wave of stone bullets, but the momentum was amazing. I don’t know when the Song army will send another wave, and the Jiaozhi soldiers ran around in the dark.

Xu Ping looked at it and sighed, "It's a pity that these Jiaozhi people were so difficult to deal with. They could still hold on if they fight like this. I still thought that a whistle would happen!"

Yingxiao is a nightmare for the army. Shi Quanbin had heard of it and said to Xu Ping: "The people of Jiaozhi are mostly from the same clan and close to the army, and the military discipline is lax. It is not easy for Yingxiao to get up."

Xu Ping nodded: "However, the so-called harm and benefit are their strengths."

The soldiers in the army were extremely depressed and mentally nervous. Due to the extremely depressed environment, the soldiers in the army were extremely nervous. Suddenly, a large number of soldiers riots occurred. Once, the army was basically destroyed.

Shi Quanbin looked at the chaotic Jiaozhi Military Camp and said, "If you fight another wave, these Jiaozhi people will definitely not be able to stay! In my opinion, they must be camped at least ten miles away from each other."

"Forget it, just look at the effect of the stone cannon. Could it be that it really scared the Jiaozhi people away? Tens of thousands of people here have been busy for nearly a month, and it would be a pity if they didn't attract the Jiaozhi army to fight in the last battle."

Shi Quanbin knew what Xu Ping meant. He didn't insist. It was a pity that he just shook his head.

After preparing wine, the two of them went down to the top of the mountain to toast the cannon just now.

Shi Quanbin looked at the tall cannon stand under the moonlight and said, "I didn't think it was when I was installing here a few days ago, but I didn't expect this stone cannon to be so powerful! Yun Xing, do you think these stone cannons can be hit far and near, and do whatever you want. How do you adjust them?"

Xu Ping pointed to the lead weight block on the tail of the cannon and said, "Look. The lead blocks vary in thickness and weight. Put different lead blocks on them, pull them up and pin them. When the cannon is sent, the pin suddenly drops the pin and the stone bullet flew out. The stone bullet is not the same size, and it is divided into two types. Use lead blocks of different weights and match the stone bullet with different sizes, and the distance of the stone bullet flew out is different."

Shi Quanbin seemed to understand but didn't understand. He said, "It makes sense, but it still doesn't look fine enough."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "The stone cannon can only be roughly beaten. How fine can it be? If it is to be fine, there is actually another place to adjust."

Speaking of this, Xu Ping walked up to point to the cannon rod that was loading and said, "The length of this cannon rod can be adjusted. The longer the longer the hit, the closer it is, the closer it is. However, in the war, it is important to shoot the most stone bullets in the shortest time, so this place is generally unregulated."

The stone can be used for centrifugal force. The longer the cannon rod, the larger the radius, the faster the rock bolt will fly out, and it can be adjusted carefully, but it is not very meaningful to fight. The end of the cannon rod is the bullet pocket, which must be movable. The cannon rod reaches the highest point before it can just fly out. If the rock bolt cannot fly out, the joke will be too big, and it is inevitable that the cannon will be destroyed and people will die.

Shi Quanbin stepped forward and looked carefully. Although he still couldn't understand the principle, he felt that the thing was exquisitely made and there were many mechanisms inside. He was moved and said to Xu Ping: "Do you have more here? It's better to be smaller. When I return to Beijing in the future, I will take one back and let the officials see it. If it is convenient to use, let the capitals in Beijing do some work and send it to the army to defend the city."

In this era, it was impossible to draw drawings. Xu Ping could draw them, but no one could understand them. And Xu Ping could not draw the schematic diagrams that craftsmen could understand now.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ping said, "No matter how small this thing is, it is difficult to install a ox cart. If it is broken up, I am afraid that you can't install it in the capital, so I will make a joke. Let's do this. After we go back, I will find a clever one and make a very small one for you, the size of a vase. Although small, everything will follow the stone cannons here, so you can bring it into the palace."

This is actually a toy for children. Xu Ping said, thinking that he must make a few more when making it. In addition to sending Shi Quanbin to the point where he returns to Beijing in a few months, he is also a toy for children.

It was already the second year of Mingdao. While Xu Ping was fighting in Liangzhou, he was trying his best to transfer back to Bianliang. As time approached, Xu Ping's goal became clearer and clearer, which was the judge of the Sansi Salt Iron and Iron. According to the system, there should be two to three judges in each department of the Sansi Salt Iron and Iron and Iron and Iron and Iron and Iron and Iron and Iron and Iron and Iron and Iron and Iron and Iron and Iron and Iron and I was the judge of the Salt Iron and Iron and I had been waiting for Xu Ping to return.

Song Xiang was the top scorer in the second year of Tiansheng. He was a very rare figure in Chinese history who won the three-yuan consecutive years. He was much stronger than Xu Ping's origin. However, Xu Pingqiang was experienced in the local area and had achievements in governance. He also had many treatments in the sucrose affairs and dealt with the Salt and Iron Department, and was familiar with officials.

The judge of the Sansi is not a good job. Unless it is used as a springboard, people who have real skills will not take on this position. As one of the four masters, the Sansi envoy often has favored ministers to gild this position, and it is common for several months to be promoted to the Minister of the Year, and several changes a year. As a result, the Sansi envoy is not familiar with the daily affairs of the Sansi. The deputy envoy of the Third Department is often presided over the daily affairs of the Sansi, and some specific dirty and tiring tasks fall on the judges of each department.

The conditions for the judge of the Sansi Department are very broad, from a minister to a doctor, as long as the official rank is not higher than the deputy envoy of the headquarters. Moreover, because the affairs are too complicated, they usually require long-term employment. When there are many people in the past seven or eight years, Xu Ping is not afraid of too much and too tired. In recent years, he has rich experience and can handle it with confidence. As for long-term employment, it is even more undesirable. Working at home is a comfortable and comfortable feeling.

This time Shi Quanbin happened to arrive in Liangzhou, and Xu Ping had his own intention to keep him. If he could fight a beautiful battle, he would go back and say a few good words to himself in front of the emperor, and he would be more confident in things.

The Empress Dowager's health is getting worse day by day, and she won't have many days to live without any hesitation. Anyone with a discerning eye has seen that the emperor's life is not far away. Except for Zhang Ji's who are too close to the Empress Dowager who cannot turn around, the ministers in the court have begun to plan for their own way of retreat. Shi Quanbin's status is now inconspicuous. Once the emperor takes power, as a person around him, he will also rise.

It is better to burn more incense than to cram the Buddha for the time being. Since this relationship has long been around, Xu Ping will not waste it.
