Chapter 418 God Arm Bow(1/2)

In fact, it was Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi who jointly decided to let Wang Ju return to Beijing to serve as the Regulations' Office for the detailed text.

This official position is a bit vague. Wang Ju can hold it and Xiao Su can hold it. However, even Sima Guang will not feel wronged. He is a very flexible official position.

Wang Ju has some ingenious ideas, which is exactly what reform is most needed. Wang Ju can serve as an important think tank to make the reform more perfect.

The third is to survey. No matter what, where is Wang Ju's age?

There are also Wang Ju who is bumpy in Zhao Xu, but it has nothing to do with being a human being in his life, but it has been relatively short of time to enter the power circle. For example, Wang Ju made many arrangements and arrangements, and some of them have long-term visions that others dare not imagine. However, the difference is that Wang Anshi is playing chess, and Wang Ju can only play chess casually. This is helpless. He is not qualified to play chess now.

But there are some problems, such as sucrose, which finally relied on the in-house warehouse.

For example, the awkward position now.

So Zhao Xu's considerations cannot be said to be wrong.

After staying in the Regulation Department for a few years, he was placed in a large prefecture as a prefect for several years, and then returned to the capital, and then he could become a two-system official. If he stayed in the two-system official, he would have the qualifications to enter the rule.

Then if there is Wang Anshi in front and Wang Ju in the back, the two kings will protect the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty will be revived.

It turns out that he thought it wonderfully.

In fact, Wang Ju just interrupted his dream. Not to mention reform, he just made money. However, in the face of this accumulation, the accumulation of money is not too much. The problem is how to make money more reasonably and use the minimum public grievances to make money.

So Zhao Xu never thought that Wang Ju had such a reaction.

Wang Anshi is very arrogant, but in fact, Wang Ju is also arrogant. For example, he is just a son and talks with his parents. This is arrogance. Perhaps talented people are like this, such as Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, Wang Meng, Wei Zheng, and Song Jing.

This action has not been done since he met Wang Ju.

"Let's talk about it," Zhao Xu didn't think clearly, so he helped Wang Ju up first, then changed the topic, and said, "Some time ago, the deputy minister of the inner capital, Zhang Ruoshui, and Li Ping, the envoy of the Xishang Pavilion, had a divine arm bow, with a very long range. I am preparing to invite you to enter the palace to watch."

"Divine Arm Bow?" Wang Ju's heart pounded. Its reputation was too great, and Wang Ju had been waiting for a long time.

"I named it the Divine Arm Bow that was transformed from the Western Xia side crossbow."

The Song Dynasty was a crossbow, which was a powerful crossbow that was stepped on with its feet and pulled away with force together. However, the Western Xia side crossbow was different, very similar to the Song bow.

Zhao Xu did not mention the people of Xixia here, but when it comes to the crossbow, Wang Ju knew it. The time may be different. After all, after being promoted by himself, the border situation was different. But no matter how it was promoted, Li Ding came, which was what he was most worried about, and said: "Your Majesty, can you let me take a look?"

"I'm going to show you." Zhao Xu said.

He just felt very powerful. How powerful is it, it must be evaluated by those who know how to be.

This understanding of knowledge does not mean that one can pull away or have strong martial arts skills, but that it is a person who is proficient in military affairs.

Among the civil and military officials in the court, except Wang Ju, he really doesn't know who is qualified.

He whispered to the eunuch beside him.

The Divine Arm Bow, Wang Ju was a little excited. He was the best news he came to the capital to hear.

After a while, several guards brought a bow. It should be a crossbow, or a crossbow. Why? It is no longer the kind of crossbow that was the Song Dynasty before. It has changed a lot and is very close to the bow. Therefore, Zhao Xu named it the Divine Arm Bow. Strictly speaking, it is still a crossbow. It is a product of the combination of techniques such as Song Dynasty slashing crossbows and compound bows on the basis of the Western Xia crossbow.

The guard put down the bow of the divine arm, and Wang Ju walked over to watch.

This thing has caused great controversy in the future. What is it?

First of all, there are materials for bows and strings. Wang Ju can see the shadow of the composite bow at a glance. Without high-strength materials, it is impossible to have such strong shooting power.

In fact, many armors in the Song Dynasty were really good, but they were technically developed, but they were mostly unqualified products when they were made...

Secondly, its shooting angle may be very low, because its crossbow arrows are shorter than previous ones, and this body angle must be greatly reduced.

Its crossbow arrow is very short, only six or seven inches, but the designer is very clever, so he thins the crossbow arrow, compresses the crossbow section, and reduces the resistance during launch. However, in order to increase its penetration, even the arrow shaft is almost made of metal.

But it is difficult to match such a thin arrow with a string, so a vertical tail feather was designed.

Compared with the longbow, its bow is also limited in length, only about one meter, and the requirements for the arm tire must be strict. Therefore, multiple layers of mountain mulberry wood are combined, and then bead tendon is glued layer by layer. However, the biggest secret is the lever winding. Here, the principle of Song-made crossbow is used, trampling with the thighs, pulling the arm ring with hand, and exerting force to pull the strings full. There are other detailed facilities.

Therefore, this thing appeared in Wang Ju's hand: with Yan (mountain mulberry wood) as the body, sandalwood as the trunk, iron as the head of the pedal spear, copper as the horse's face, thread as the hair, numbing rope as the string, crossbow body is three feet long and two inches long, two inches long, two inches long, two inches long, two inches long, two inches long, two inches long, two inches long, two inches long, four inches long, four feet, five inches long, eight inches long, and two feet, five inches long.

But you can't underestimate it. Although it seems exquisite, on this Linglong crossbow and Linglong crossbow arrow, the peak of materials science and crossbow arrow technology in this era are concentrated, and the principles of mechanics are everywhere.

It’s just that ancient people only knew the truth, but did not know why, and had no ability to explain it clearly.

As for what Jikuan was, Wang Ju didn't see it at all.

"Your Majesty, let me give it a try."

"OK."

When the two walked out of the hall, Wang Ju tried his strength first. This was the first time he had pulled this bow. It didn't matter. He had practiced bows and arrows for several years, and the crossbows were rarely touched, but neither Song crossbow nor Xixia crossbow was unfamiliar with it.

Wang Ji shouted, pulled the crossbow full, then loosened his hand, and the crossbow arrow flew out quickly.

This is an arrow test. There is a passage in front of me, and the palace maid and eunuch drove away. After being released, Wang Ju measured it with steps and found that it was indeed about 300 steps. This proves that the 340 steps are not false.

But he didn't expect that the famous Divine Arm Bow was actually in this mini version.

However, he is small and has a lot of strength, and he has a longer range than the crossbow.

There is no need to test anything about lethality. With this rate of fire and range, can the lethality be small?

Zhao Xu said speechlessly: "You are so good at arm strength."

Although it was tested, most of the soldiers could not be pulled away, and even fewer people could be pulled. Zhao Xu suddenly thought of Cheng Hao to complain again. Wang Ju had the strength of his arm. Once Cheng Hao was pressed, could Cheng Hao still be able to bounce up?

"Your Majesty has exaggerated the award, where are Zhang Ruoshui and Li Ping?"

"In the crossbow courtyard."

"Can you let me see them?"

"You..."

"Your Majesty, it can be transformed."

"Can you still transform it?" Zhao Xu asked in surprise.

"Although it is powerful, it requires too high arm strength."

"Your words are so true. I asked the guards to test the shooting. Less than 10 or 2 or 3 people can pull up, and less than one person can pull up like Qing. Even Wang Zhaoming is not satisfied."

"This," Wang Ju didn't know what to say.

The two eunuchs were taken to the inner palace for a while, and when they saw Wang Ju and the divine arm bow on the ground, they understood. The two of them first met, and Wang Ju was lying on the divine arm bow to watch, and he was speechless. The actual things were placed here, and he gradually saw many principles. And now he is no stranger to cold weapons.

But why did I not think of it and wait for Li Ding in a hurry?

Wang Ju stood up and said, "Zhang Duzhi, did you think of this?"

On the way, the little yellow gate had already told Zhang Ruoshui about Wang Ju's glorious deeds in the Regulation Department. That was Ruoda's censor, but Wang Ju held him down and poured tea. He was just a eunuch. What qualifications do he have to fight for?

Zhang Ruoshui said honestly: "This is a powerful bow that Li Hong, a small-minister, set up a crossbow, and then our family and the craftsmen transformed on the basis of set up a crossbow."

In fact, the divine arm bow is a divine arm crossbow, but Zhao Xu didn't know much. He gave him a bow. Who dares to say it is not a bow?

"Where is that Li Hong?"

"Our family gave him one hundred taels of silver."

"Where is he from?"

"It seems to be someone from Shaanxi."

"I'm sorry Zhang Duzhi, and I'll bring this Li Hong again."

"He's just a petty citizen."

"Zhang Du knows that you have made great contributions to this bow," Wang Ju said honestly. Later generations talked nonsense, saying that Li Ding brought the Divine Arm Bow, where did the Divine Arm Bow have any Divine Arm Bow in Xixia. But without the real crossbow technology brought by Li Ding, even if Zhang Ruoshui was smart, he could not invent the Divine Arm Bow. After the Divine Arm Bow came out, it has always been a big problem with Xixia, but Xixia did not get its technology. The truth is the same as gunpowder. With gunpowder, advanced thermal weapons have gradually been found, but it cannot be said that these thermal weapons were invented by the Chinese. Therefore, Wang Ju's words were given below: "But this crossbow technology also played some role."

"The Wang Jian said it correctly. If there was no such thing as this, our family would not have received inspiration."

"But what you get may be the real crossbow-building technology. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Jian Wang... we understand," Zhang Ruoshui suddenly woke up.

The Song Dynasty had the technology of the Song Dynasty, and the Western Xia also had the technology of the Western Xia, such as the Xixia crossbow, which is the side-mounted crossbow, such as the cold forged armor, and the Xia Kingdom Sword.

On the battlefield, the Song Dynasty obtained many Western Xia armors, but the Song Dynasty never figured out how it was built.

Li Hong knows the technique of crossbow building, so he may not be from Shaanxi, but from Xixia, and is an important figure in the manufacturing of these armors in Xixia. Then he can bring other technologies and use this technology to combine them with the Song Dynasty technology, and perhaps he can create more powerful tools.

Zhang Ruoshui and Wang Ping left the palace to find Li Hong or Li Ding.

"You..." The same principle, why didn't he think of it? Zhang Ruoshui couldn't imagine it, Wang Ju thought of it as soon as he saw this bow? Zhao Xu was also speechless.

Wang Judao: "Can the Song Dynasty be promoted and promoted? It is important to sweep away the decadent situation before. The armor is also important. Your Majesty, it is better to set up a military weapon supervisor."

Speaking of this, he had a sudden inspiration and said, "Why would you let me know about this military weapon again."

In the early Song Dynasty, the weapons production was under the control of the workshop envoy, and later it was assigned to the Sansi Salt and Iron Sizhou Case Department. It was not until the Qingli War that the Xixia people were stimulated, so the Military Artifact Department, Yang Kai, Yao Zhongsun, Li Yonghe, Cao Cong and other important civil and military officials were jointly managed by the foreign relatives. There were also Lin Wei, deputy envoy of the Salt and Iron Si, official of the Salt and Iron Si, and Cen Shousu, deputy governor of the Interior, and other officials and eunuchs. However, this was a temporary agency and later banned.

But after all the changes, they are all departments under the Zhou Case Department.

However, we cannot underestimate this department. The number of people is indispensable. There are bow and crossbow-making arrows, Guangbei siege, military weapon station, horse-knife bureau, Wanquan command, gunpowder construction and other institutions. There are more than 10,000 craftsmen in the bow and arrows alone!

In addition, there are various local governments who work as hospitals, but those hospitals are jointly managed by local officials and the case of the ancestors. Anyway, the power is unclear, which is a major feature of the Song Dynasty.

Then there is the storage of weapons, which is under the control of the inner treasury.

Why do these shoddy armors appear? It is the result of this unclear and chaotic organization and authority.

In addition, there are major sub-departments. Although they belong to the Zhou case, the Zhou case only does a management management, and most of the subordinate departments are eunuchs and powerful children.
To be continued...
