Chapter 122 Lead the army to the expedition

Chen Wanrong has been asking less about military weapon surveillance during this period. When he heard this, he was very excited and asked, "Master Kou, don't keep it a secret, say it quickly!"

"What do you say? Come with me and go and see it yourself!" Kou Yibing didn't care about Chen Wanrong's mood and added with a smile: "If you look at it yourself, that's what you're satisfied."

He was so happy that although Chen Wanrong wanted to find out, he had no choice but to follow him. While walking, he asked, "Master Kou, what kind of good treasure is?"

This time, Kou Yibing did not keep it in hiding, but reminded him: "General Chen, you forgot that you have guided us to make the iron-cutting machine?"

Once this machine is completed, the Tang Dynasty will usher in the machining era, which is of great significance. Chen Wanrong's heart was thrilled and asked, "Is it successful? Is it successful?"

"Success?" Kou Yibing shook his head: "I dare not say that I succeed. This matter can be tried in ten days and half a month. Only then will we know whether it is successful or not?"

That was enough. Chen Wanrong was so excited that he urged: "Hurry up, take me to see!"

"Aren't you walking?" Kou Yibing muttered and speeded up.

The two of them came to the house and saw many people surrounding them, Ye Tianheng, Liu Huaide, Zhang Deming, Cao Zhixiong and others were all there, all of them focused on their faces, their eyes wide open, and they were very bright, as if they were watching pearls falling from the sky.

"Grant, let go, General Chen is here!" Kou Yibing reminded loudly.

Ye Tianheng and the others raised their heads when they heard the sound. Seeing that Chen Wanrong was coming, they were all overjoyed and hurriedly surrounded him. Ye Tianheng smiled before he could speak, took Chen Wanrong's hand and patted him kindly: "My friend, you are here now. Have you become a general and forgot about us?"

"That's it! We must have forgotten us!" Cao Zhixiong and the others hurriedly agreed.

Chen Wanrong was easy-going and had no airs when he was in the military weapon supervision. Moreover, his ideas were very wonderful in the eyes of the Tang people, which made them unexpectedly regard him as a master of good craftsmen. However, Chen Wanrong was a technical expert and had a real skill in technology, and he deserved this kind of praise.

More importantly, Chen Wanrong guided the military weapon supervisor to complete the production of the tool. This tool was the Tang people's century-old dream. Chen Wanrong helped them realize it. Chen Wanrong's status in their minds was greatly improved, and they were eager to see Chen Wanrong every day.

I haven't seen each other for many days. When I first saw Chen Wanrong, I was so happy that my face was flushed with excitement.

Although Chen Wanrong became a general, he still thought that being an expert and doing technology was more appropriate. He was particularly friendly to these good craftsmen. He was happy to see them and said with a smile: "Master Ye, don't squeeze me with words. I also want to meet you more often, but I just don't have the skills to do it. Please forgive me!" He bowed his fists and apologized.

It was just a joke, but I didn't expect that Chen Wanrong was a little serious. Cao Zhixiong and the others were stunned and said together: "Mr. Chen is so serious. Let's joke. Don't take it to your heart!"

"I heard you have picked up the treasure, let me see it!" Chen Wanrong laughed, making everyone laugh.

Ye Tianheng took Chen Wanrong's hand and said, "My friend, this is the treasure! Our military weapon supervisor's treasure!"

Chen Wanrong's eyes suddenly widened and his eyes almost fell out: "You, you really did it! Great! Great!"

In front of me is a replica of a modern machine tool. Although it is not as exquisite and beautiful as modern machine tools, it is also similar. Once this thing is released, it will push human history forward a big step. Chen Wanrong knows that its influence is so great that it is restrained enough if he doesn't faint.

Without saying anything, Chen Wanrong rolled up his sleeves, squatted down and began to look at them carefully. Not to mention, Tangren's wisdom is really impressive. This machine tool is well made, and the transmission and fixtures are very well-designed. It's really the same thing.

Of course, we cannot look at it from a modern perspective. If we look at it from a modern perspective, it will definitely be rough and a bad product. But this was made by the Tang Dynasty. It was the first machine tool in Chinese history and human history. Chen Wanrong was satisfied, too satisfied!

They don’t make it very well now, and they will make it better in the future. Chen Wanrong believes in this!

Chen Wanrong clearly heard the sound of his heart beating, exhaled a long breath, and asked, "What are you planning to use?"

Liu Huaide took the lead in answering: "Mr. Chen, we are getting more and more motivated to do this. The masters are divided into two groups, working day and night, so that we can do it. We originally wanted to invite you to check it out, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself. We are relieved to have Master Chen's praise."

He said a lot of questions but did not answer Chen Wanrong's questions. It was too off topic, but this also shows that he was in a very good mood.

"Mr. Chen, this tool has been made. What we need to solve now is the problem of using it. We still decide to use hydraulic power. We need to find a suitable place on the edge of the Wei River, build a canal, and make something, and then you can inspect it." Liu Huaide said with a smile: "At that time, Mr. Chen will come and see it no matter what! If it weren't for you, this tool would not be able to be made no matter what, you must come!"

His words immediately attracted a lot of echoes: "Yes, Lord Chen must come!"

Chen Wanrong thought about it, but the military order was like a mountain: "I have understood the kindness of everyone. However, I am ordered to lead the army to fight in three days. I really can't come!"

"What? Lord Chen is going to go to war?" A sound of surprise and disbelief sounded.

It is true that Chen Wanrong is a good craftsman. No one will doubt him if he wants to do technology. If he wants to lead the army to fight, who will believe it? Whoever believes it will kick the donkey!

"That's right!" Chen Wanrong affirmed: "I'm here today to see the artillery and shells. What's wrong with you?"

Kou Yibing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Chen, Baozhun won't miss you. We have now built fifteen artillery pieces and can be used only after calibration. Three days, there is no problem with calibration. As for the shells, we have built 20,000 rounds. It is estimated that it is not enough, and we have done our best."

Chen Wanrong knew the situation of the military weapon surveillance. It was not easy for them to build so many artillery and shells. He smiled and said, "I would like to thank you all! As for shells, you can rebuild them, and you will almost send them."

"Thank you General Chen to fulfill your wish!" Liu Huaide was very grateful to Chen Wanrong for his reasonableness.

Chen Wanrong looked at the machine tool and suddenly an idea came up with "Let them try the steam engine to see if it can be built? They can build a machine tool, and this wisdom makes people convinced. The steam engine is worth a try!"

With a certain idea, Chen Wanrong said with a solemn face: "Everyone, you have made this tool now, but you can't try it out, which is a pity."

"Who said no?" everyone agreed.

Chen Wanrong changed the subject: "I also know that a machine can push this tool. This machine is called a steam engine. However, it is more troublesome and more difficult to create. I wonder if you are interested in trying it?"

"Yes!" is just one word, indicating their determination.

Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "Why is this machine called a steam engine? Because it is used, it is steam. What is steam? You see this thing every day. The water vapor that comes out when cooking is steam, which is the steam that can drive the machine."

In the eyes of ancient people, steam is very common, but it cannot be so useful, and no one believes it. Even Ye Tianheng opened his eyes wide and looked at Chen Wanrong: "My friend, aren't you lying, right? Can this water vapor be so useful?"

His words were exactly what everyone was thinking. Kou Yibing thought about it and said it very tactfully: "Mr. Chen, we know your character and are very willing to believe what you are saying is true, but this is too incredible."

The steam used by the steam engine is not the steam for cooking, but the superheated steam containing huge energy. Thermodynamics is a compulsory course in chemical engineering. Chen Wanrong is very good at this and will explain it to them now.

After a brief explanation, I spent the boss's speech until his mouth was dry and he finished speaking.

"I didn't expect this water vapor to be so useful! We didn't expect it before, so I was so careless!" Ye Tianheng was the first to sigh.

Although Watt improved the steam engine, it was thanks to the help of a chemist. Watt didn't know steam, so after asking the chemist for knowledge about steam, he broadened his horizons and completed the improvement of the steam engine.

Chen Wanrong knew steam very well, and his explanation showed Ye Tianheng and others a vast world that they had never dared to think about before, and felt like they could see the blue sky through the clouds and mist.

Next, Chen Wanrong told them about the shape of the steam engine in his memory. Chen Wanrong only saw pictures of Watt steam engines on the Internet, and had some impressions. As for the specific structure, it was not clear, and it could only be solved by the wisdom of the Tang people.

Despite this, Ye Tianheng and the others were still happy and they were eager to devote themselves to the research of the steam engine now.

Finally, Chen Wanrong reminded them: "The manufacturing of this steam engine is much more complicated than this tool, and you also need to use this tool. You should make this tool well and use it first. More importantly, you need to make more tools, so that it will be faster to make more people!"

Kou Yibing and his team claimed to be.

Looking at the excited faces, Chen Wanrong thought to himself, "If the Tang people really built the steam engine, what would it be? Needless to say, my chemical power problem was solved. Chemical industry took root in the Tang Dynasty was certain! Not only that, if there was a steam engine, mining and road construction were very convenient. If the Tang people took a step further and created various machinery, the Tang Dynasty would undergo earth-shaking changes."

This prospect is dizzy to think about, but there is also a prospect that Chen Wanrong yearns for even more: "At that time, the Tang Dynasty will advance westward and compete with the Dashi Empire for control of the Middle East. Will the Dashi Empire still be an opponent?"

The answer is self-evident. Chen Wanrong was so excited that his eyes were congested. He kept encouraging Ye Tianheng and the others to make sure they built the steam engine.

Even Chen Wanrong didn't encourage him, Ye Tianheng and others were also determined to build a steam engine.

Ye Tianheng and the others came to ask some questions again, and Chen Wanrong answered them as much as he could. He worked hard until the golden turtle was drifting, and they were very excited.

It was time to finish work and go home. Ye Tianheng and his team were very interested, so they didn't want to go home just now. Chen Wanrong's interest may not be lower than theirs, so they continued to discuss the issue.

This discussion was amazing. Until Ye Tianheng and the others were satisfied, they had already become old. Chen Wanrong said goodbye and returned to Zheng Mansion next time surrounded by Wu Shaoxing and others.

As soon as they arrived at Zheng Mansion, they greeted Zheng Jianqiu and his wife, Zheng Qing and his brother, each of them looked resentful. Zheng Qing asked with great concern: "Are you busy?"

Zheng Jianqiu was not as tactful as Zheng Qing, and said calmly: "Son-in-law, such a big thing happened today. Even if you have something to do, you should tell us. The girl is very worried."

It is logical that this should be done, but Chen Wanrong and Ye Tianheng were fascinated by the discussion, forgot the time, and smiled and said, "What my father-in-law said is, I remember it."

"Stop talking, go into the house quickly. Let's talk about what happened today. We are all in a hurry." Zheng Zhou's frown dispersed and a smile appeared on his face.

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Brothers, you have not had dinner yet, so let's have dinner first."

"Save it for you." Zheng Qingyan laughed and directed the servants to arrange food and accommodation for Wu Shaoxing.

When he arrived in the room, Zheng Jianqiu asked someone to deliver the meal. Chen Wanrong told him about what happened today while eating. Hearing that Chen Wanrong would go to war in three days, Zheng Jianqiu was both happy and worried: "On the battlefield, Wanrong, how careful do you have to be so ignorant, don't have anything to happen."

If something happened to Chen Wanrong, what would Zheng Qing do? No one dared to think about it anymore.

Zheng Qing angrily said, "Dad, what are you talking about?"

Although Zheng Jianqiu had good intentions, he was just a mistake in his words. He hurriedly said, "Dad will not say it anymore, Dad will not say it anymore."

Chen Wanrong smiled and comforted them, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, you don't have to worry about me. I am a general, so there is no reason to charge myself. Besides, our artillery soldiers will not charge at all. If the artillery soldiers also charge, there will be no way to fight this battle."

The artillery gave up its director and participated in the battle, and that was the last moment.

The reason is this principle, but the battlefield changes rapidly, who can make it clear? However, no one said this, Zheng Jianqiu said repeatedly: "Wan Rong said it, he said it very well!"

Chen Wanrong then asked about their visit to Yanwei Escort Agency today, and Zheng Jianqiu told the truth. When they went to Yanwei Escort Agency today, Yan Xing and the others naturally received it enthusiastically. Yan Xing and the others kept thanking him, thanking Chen Wanrong for helping them get revenge and tears of gratitude.

Zheng Jianqiu also said that he gave Yanwei Escort Agency 10,000 taels of silver in the name of Chen Wanrong, and Yan Xing refused to ask for it, so he finally persuaded him to accept it.

This is what it should be. Yanwei Escort Agency has done enough in this incident. Chen Wanrong is responsible for taking care of these dead corpses, as well as their family life problems, and the disabled corpses.

When the main talks were over, Zheng Zhou frowned and asked, "Wanrong, what should you do about perfume?"

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if the account book is burned. You have an account and you can rebuild it. Just give it 20% of the perfume formula."

"I'm not talking about this!" Zheng Zhou found that there was no explanation and corrected it: "Ma Zhangguan Guest and Gao Zhangguan have both come today. They asked if the perfume was about to stop. We thought this matter was of great importance and said that we would discuss it with you when you come back."

Chen Wanrong thought for a moment and said, "I don't even have a place to live, so I have to stop. What else can I discuss?"

Zheng Jianqiu shook his head and said, "Wanrong, do you know how many people are waiting for perfume? The goods I received in Luoyang are sold for 200 bottles a day, and it will take a month to clear the light. If we stop, what will they think? This is not a matter of money. The impact is too great, and we cannot make a decision. Gaojiadian and Majiadian receive more goods. If they stop, they will have great trouble."

If it really stops, Gaojiadian and Majiadian are under the greatest pressure. It is estimated that the high-definition Tai and Ma Zhizhong will hide in places where no one can find them to avoid disaster. Chen Wanrong suddenly became troubled: "If you want to say it, it is actually not difficult. The flower garden is still there, Princess Taiping and Princess Jinxian, and Princess Yuzhen's flowers can still be used."

"Do you think this is OK? Call Uncle Wu, Zhao and others to us. Although we are a little smaller, after you go to war, there will be no soldiers accompanying you, which is enough for them to live." Zheng Jianqiu thought for a while and sought Chen Wanrong's opinion.

Chen Wanrong had to agree with this: "Yes. But, you have to worry too much about this." Looking at Zheng Qing, it means that Zheng Qing is busy again.

"It's also idle when you're idle, and it's more fulfilling when you're busy!" Zheng Qing understood Chen Wanrong's thoughts very much.

After discussing for a while, the family's affairs were arranged. Chen Wanrong couldn't help but want to help, because his official duties were enough for him. He could only take care of these family affairs for Zheng Qing. Fortunately, Zheng Qing was able to do it and proceed in an orderly manner.

During these three days, Chen Wanrong was busy preparing for the war. The most important thing was to calibrate the cannons. It was fake to say that it was not troublesome. Fortunately, Liu Fuqing and his friends had a good understanding of cannons and could all come in handy. It was easy to do things with more people. Let's do it together and do it in one morning.

As for the matter of going to war, Chen Wanrong didn't have to worry. With Brother Shuhan and Wang Zhongsi here, I would just leave it to them. Wang Zhongsi didn't know what method he used, so he actually asked Li Longji to agree to him and Chen Wanrong on the battlefield.

Ruizong did something that no one could imagine, which was to cut off Gesang's head and asked Zhang Shuo to write a letter with extremely tough words, and to send it to Tubo Zampu Jide Zuzan together with Gesang's head.

The reason why Ruizong did this was to show his determination, to warn Tubo, and to cheer the soldiers.

Although Gesang was involved in the destruction of artillery, he was an envoy. In this case, he was usually detained, or wrote a book to Tubo Zanpu, and ordered him to apologize.

The killing of Gesang was really beyond Chen Wanrong's surprise, and even Li Longji did not think so. However, the benefit of killing Gesang was obvious, that is, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo officially slandered their faces and had no room for maneuver. This battle was a head-on battle, and they would not stop the army if they did not surrender.

Of course, Ruizong believed that the Tang Dynasty would never be the one who surrendered!
Chapter completed!
