Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 241 Studying New Weapons
After Shao Yichen found out that his good brother was actually a woman, he returned to his tent and walked back and forth in the tent for many times excitedly.Some ideas in his heart have also changed.

After knowing that An Lehou was a woman, he didn't feel angry, but instead felt faintly happy.

He had wanted to keep An Lehou by his side before, but now that he knew she was a woman, if he wanted to keep her by his side, there was only one way, and that was to marry her back home.

He has also reached the age to marry a wife early, but he has never met the woman he likes.He always feels that sooner or later he will meet the person he likes, isn't the current Chu Jingyan just the person he is looking for?
If such a strange woman could become his wife, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.The brotherhood he had for Chu Jingyan before, now he likes her a little more after knowing her identity as a woman.

Jing Yi didn't know the impact and change in thinking she brought to Shao Yichen after she told him that she was a woman.

Because the envoys of the Xiyan Kingdom had to wait for the court's reply, they had to wait a few days for news.

Jing Yi customized a set of woodworking tools before, and then started to practice making some simple small objects.She has been studying how to improve the spinning wheel and spinning machine before, and now she can do it by herself.

Before this, Jingyi wanted to make a sleeve arrow for himself first, also for self-defense.

Jing Yi made separate drawings for the quiver and other parts of the Xiujian, and these parts were going to be forged in a blacksmith's shop.Jing Yi thought for a while and drew some blueprints for making crossbow bolts, and then she planned to make a few crossbow bolts, keep one for herself, give one to Xiao Yilin, and give another to Shao Yichen.

Jing Yi was calculating and drawing blueprints in her tent, and she didn't go out all morning.

She wanted to take the blueprints and go to a blacksmith in the city to try to make them, but then she thought that this was Xiyan's territory after all, and her whereabouts might be monitored by Xiyan's spies.It would be bad if these blueprints of hers fell into the hands of Xi Yanguo.It seems that we can only wait until we return to the capital.

Jing Yi didn't leave her tent for a day, and even ate meals in her tent.

Shao Yichen was worried that Jing Yi was sick, so he came to see her.

Before, Shao Yichen could directly enter the camp, but now that he knew Jing Yi's identity as a woman, Shao Yichen paid more attention, and asked Han Qi to inform him before entering the camp.

When Shao Yichen entered the tent, he saw the little girl sitting in front of a desk writing something.

Jing Yi raised her head to say hello, "Brother Shao, you're here. Wait a minute and I'll be fine soon. Find a place to sit by yourself first."

Shao Yichen was very curious about what the little girl was doing, and when he walked closer, he saw that the desk was covered with papers, all of which had things drawn on them.With Shao Yichen's eyesight, he could tell at a glance that this was a blueprint of some kind of weapon.

Shao Yichen asked in surprise: "Jing Yan, what are you painting?"

Jing Yi said: "I'm going to make sleeve arrows and crossbow arrows. When I'm done, I'll give you one."

Shao Yichen was even more surprised when he heard this, "Oh, is this thing powerful?"

Jing Yi said: "This sleeve arrow is a hidden arrow hidden in the sleeve. It can be hidden in the special arrow box in the sleeve. The shaft is short and light, and the arrowhead is heavy. After shooting, it can kill the enemy within 30 steps. It can be used in fighting, and can also be used as a self-defense weapon. With it, it can be said to be an extra layer of protection on the battlefield.

Crossbows and bows are used in much the same way.When archers use crossbows, they decompose string-stretching arrow loading and vertical string launching into two separate actions, so there is no need to aim at the same time as stretching strings vigorously, which has a much higher hit rate than bows; other powers other than arm strength can also be used, such as foot Stepping on the string can achieve a longer range than the bow. "

After listening to Jing Yi's explanation, Shao Yichen's eyes were astonishingly bright, "You mean this crossbow is more powerful than the bows and arrows we usually use?"

Jing Yi said: "Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. In some respects, it has advantages over bows and arrows. When I finish it later, you can try it and you will know."

Shao Yichen was looking forward to it, "Then when will it be done?"

Jing Yi sighed and said: "I originally wanted to go to the city to find a blacksmith's shop to make some parts. But then I thought this was the territory of Xiyan before, and I'm afraid it's not safe. If these blueprints fall into the hands of the enemy It's going to be troublesome."

Shao Yichen laughed and said: "Where is the need to go to the city to find a blacksmith shop, there is a place for blacksmithing in our military camp. Because some weapons in the military camp often need to be repaired, the White Tiger Army has set up a weapon repair camp by itself. There are very good craftsmen there." craftsman, you can go there directly for whatever you want.”

After all, Jing Yi is not a member of the White Tiger Army, so she doesn't know much about the army's settings. Now I am very happy to hear Shao Yichen say that the White Tiger Army has a department for repairing weapons, "That's great, so there is no need to worry about leaking secrets. Today I Just draw all the blueprints, and go to the weapon repair camp tomorrow to find someone to help me make these parts. That way, the sleeve arrows and crossbow arrows will be ready soon."

Shao Yichen smiled and said, "Then I'll wait to see the new weapons."

Jing Yi asked: "Is there no news from the envoy of Xiyan?"

Shao Yichen said with a smile: "Although Murong Huai hasn't said anything about the next negotiation, the spies I sent out reported that the Xiyan court had sent people to the homes of the rich and powerful families in several nearby state capitals to lobby. It should be a combination of threats. Incentives, let them come up with money and food. It seems that they have listened to your method."

Jing Yi smiled and said: "Then let's wait for the news. Also, brother Shao, you let the soldiers of each battalion in the barracks take turns to practice, and then take turns to let the soldiers of each battalion form a neat team to run outside the city.

It is bound to create a situation of being ready to go to war at any time, and let the envoys of Xiyan Kingdom know that as long as our requirements are not met, we can send out an army to occupy more of their Xiyan cities at any time.This will put a kind of psychological pressure on the envoys of the Xiyan Kingdom. Without our urging, the envoys of the Xiyan Kingdom will also promote the peace talks and armistice as soon as possible. "

Shao Yichen smiled and nodded at Jing Yi, "In this way, those rich and powerful families who got the news will happily support the peace talks with money and food. After all, this involves the safety of their family. Don't worry, I will definitely arrange it.

I will make an agreement with the manager of the weapon repair camp, and someone will send you a warrant tomorrow, and you can go to them for help at any time with the warrant. "

Jing Yi was very happy to see that the problem was solved so easily, "Thank you Brother Shao."

When Shao Yichen was in Jingyi's tent, Han Qi was also in the tent. He had to help his prince watch over the future princess, so that no one could take advantage of him to pry him away.

Now that General Shao already knew that An Lehou was a woman, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be moved.

Now that Marquis An Le is famous all over the world, outsiders don't know her identity as a woman, and she doesn't have many suitors yet.If Marquis Anle regains her status as a woman in the future, the family begging will not be able to break through the threshold of the Chu family.

The prince of his family has to marry him back home as soon as possible, otherwise it will be hard to say who will get the final peace.
