Chapter One Hundred and Thirteen
"Mr. Zeng was worried too much. This thing was forged by craftsmen in the mountain city. How could the disaster be left?"
Xiao Zicheng smiled slightly and reached out to help Zeng Zesheng up.
"Mountain City?"
Zeng Zesheng was stunned at first, and then his face was filled with joy.
Isn’t the mountain city the fiefdom of the Lord Xiao in front of you? Since he is a craftsman in the mountain city, he naturally follows Xiao Zicheng’s horse.
Perhaps seeing through Zeng Zesheng's thoughts, Xiao Zicheng said lightly:
"After you two go back, you will select a group of reliable and talented people from the apprentices and current craftsmen.
My Lord intends to transfer a few top craftsmen from the mountain city to train you."
Zeng Zesheng and his two trembled excitedly, pushed the golden mountain and turned the jade pillar and bowed:
"My dear mercy, the villain remembers it in his heart!!"
Xiao Zicheng nodded, and then he asked some questions, which made Liu Tong and the other two retreat and go busy.
And he himself was drinking inferior tea from military weapons and stood at the door silently.
Emperor Jingping sent him to the military weapon station, but in fact he was exactly what he wanted. The mountain city has developed to this day, although it has made breakthroughs in all fields.
However, most of the research results can only be circulated within the mountain city.
For example, the explosive pot was previously, although Emperor Jingping knew that the thing was very useful.
However, it was still not widely promoted in the army. Among the 12th Regiment Battalion, only Wei Che's Yaowu Battalion had a small amount of equipment.
It can be said that even the border troops under Xiao Fangzhi were unable to be equipped, let alone other troops.
In order to block the news, Emperor Jingping even killed all the Black Flag Army captured in the Battle of Changping.
Xiao Zicheng understands and is helpless in this.
Gunpowder is indeed a rare weapon for this era. In Changping, without this gunpowder pot, Yaowu Camp would not have won so easily.
However, everything has two sides. As long as you master the ratio of gunpowder, you can get a small workshop to produce it in batches.
With the matter of Changping, Emperor Jingping blocked gunpowder as a secret matter, which was understandable.
After all, even he could feel that the Great Zhou Dynasty was not as calm as it seemed.
Under this premise, improving the forging process has become one of the few ways to greatly improve the overall military strength of the Great Zhou.
Looking at the emperor outside the window, Xiao Zicheng couldn't help but sigh slightly.
It is undeniable that the current situation of the Military Arts Institute can be described in the word "miserable".
It was far from what he had expected earlier, and it could be said to be poor and careless.
The only thing that is gratifying is that the craftsmen in the military equipment institute have excellent forging skills.
Before him, only Liu Tong came from the airborne, and the other military weapons officials were all assisted step by step.
With a little training, Xiao Zicheng believes that it will not take long to get to the next level in the skills of this military weapon.
The task is heavy and the road is long... Xiao Zicheng sighed.
"Where is Liu Tong! Where is Liu Tong? I asked Liu Tong to come out!! He dared to refuse what my Ministry of War entrusted? He was brave enough to take the courage of his ambition!"
Xiao Zicheng stood at the door, trying to see who was shouting in the military weapon station, and asked Liu Tong, the military weapon station to go out to see him.
It’s a pity that the place where the sound came was too far from the lobby. Although Xiao Zicheng knew the direction vaguely, he did not see anyone coming.
Seeing this, Wu Tian, who had been silently guarding him, said with a fist:
"Master, I'll go and have a look."
As he said that, Wu Tian pushed the door and walked out. Without much time, he returned to the house:
"Young Master, he is from the Ministry of War, named Chu Junkai."
When Xiao Zicheng heard that he was from the Ministry of War, he couldn't help but frown:
"What are the people from the Ministry of War here for this?"
"According to the Chu, the Ministry of War had commissioned the Military Weapons to build a carriage for them. I think it was the young master who ordered Liu Tong to cooperate with any department in the court, and then came to him."
"I thought the Ministry of Justice would be the first to provoke trouble, but I didn't expect that the Ministry of War could not sit still."
Xiao Zicheng sneered and pushed the door open and walked out of the room:
"Let's go and see with me. Which cannon fodder with no eyes dares to come here to play wildly."
"yes!"
At the same time, in front of a work shed in the Military Weapons, the military officer mentioned by Wu Tian was cursing at the craftsmen in the Military Weapons.
And around him were filled with craftsmen and officials from the Military Arts Institute.
Looking at the expressions of those people, it seemed that Chu Jun was scolded and felt a little helpless.
"What are you doing in a stand-in? Why don't you ask Liu Tong to come out and see me quickly. If there is no explanation today, I will not leave!"
It has to be said that because of the low status of the Military Equipment Institute, they have been called out and scolded by various troops all year round, so the craftsmen of the Military Equipment Institute have no confidence to resist when facing Chu Junkai's scolding.
After a long time, when Chu Junkai cursed more and more unpleasantly, an official whispered:
"Stop being angry, someone has already gone to invite Liu Tixia."
Chu Junkai's face was still angry and still shouted loudly:
"I think he is so tickle that Liu Tong dares to refute the face of my Ministry of War!"
Soon, Liu Tong led several subordinates to this place. When he saw Chu Junkai, who was ashen looking at him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He laughed dryly, and gritted his teeth and bowed:
"Mr. Chu."
As a military weapon, Liu Tong was in charge of his official position, but he was a few levels higher than Chu Junkai. According to the strictest official system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chu Junkai should be respectful to him.
But due to the embarrassing status of military weapons, the rest of the ministry did not see the generals at all, which led to the ridiculous scene in front of them.
Chu Jun glanced at Liu Tong with disdain and mocking on his face:
"Mr. Liu, you notified our department today and said that you will not build the carriage and military weapons. What does this mean?
You should know that these carriages were prepared for the battle next year and were to transport food and grass to the frontline soldiers!
If you cannot deliver it on time and miss the military situation, can you take responsibility for it?!"
"I..."
With such a big hat on his back, Liu Tong couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was about to explain, but was interrupted by Chu Junkai.
"I don't want to talk to you too much. You must complete those carriages on time. If you are asked to be punished by the Ministry of War because of your implicated me..."
Chu Junkai coldly swept over the craftsmen in the military artifacts around him and threatened fiercely:
"Be careful that Chu asked someone to break your legs!"
Hearing this, the craftsmen in the Military Equipment Institute showed anger on their faces. They had a hot temper and cursed directly:
"What's it!"
"Our military weapon station is not under the jurisdiction of your Ministry of War, why should we call us around?"
"Your Ministry of War will do your own work!! I won't serve this idiot!"
Chu Junkai's face turned black and his eyes were fiercely scanned:
"I think you are tiring! You have the ability to say it again in front of me!"
When all the craftsmen from the Military Arts Institute heard this, they were silent.
The long-standing inequality treatment has long been made clear that if there is a conflict, it will be a permanent military weapon that will suffer losses.
Seeing this, Chu Junkai's face became even more sarcastic:
Chapter completed!
