Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 335 The Third Year Chapter 34

After Sun Xin sent Wu Song to conduct a thorough investigation, he continued to work all morning. After lunch, he was planning to go to the factory to have a look. Suddenly, he heard a farmer come in and report that someone had come from Zengtou City.

As soon as Zeng Saihua's son was born, Sun Xin named him Sun Ding. He was also of the Bao family. Zeng Daguan came to see his grandson several times, and often sent people to bring food and drink, so I heard that Sun Xin, who came from Zengtou City, was not surprised. He thought it was another steward.

But the farmer said: "Master Zeng, Mr. Shi, and a few young masters are here."

Sun Xin hurriedly stood up to meet him.

When Sun Jiaji received the people from Zengtou City, Sun Xin knew what these people were here for.

Senior Officer Zeng and Shi Wengong rode on horseback with stiff expressions on their faces, while Zeng Tu who was leading behind them also had an ugly face, and Zeng Suo had a stinky face that he couldn't even look at.

"Daddy, brothers, sit in the room."

Anticipating what would happen, Sun Xin hurriedly invited people from Zengtou City into the yard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Senior Officer Zeng's face became even colder in an instant. He didn't say anything to Sun Xinduo, but looked back at Zeng Suo, and ordered: "Kneel down!"

Zeng Suoman reluctantly knelt down, but his face was full of humiliation.

"Now that Sun Xin is in front of you, you tell your brother-in-law why you want to have an affair with the imperial court!"

Zeng Suo's face was full of anger, and he refused to speak.

He knelt there for a long time, his fists were clenched, and Zeng Tu who was beside him couldn't see him, so he whispered to Senior Officer Zeng: "Father and third younger brother already know their mistake, otherwise they wouldn't kneel down."

Senior officer Zeng snorted coldly, looked at Sun Xin, and Zeng Tu said to Sun Xin with a pleading look: "Your third brother was not clear-headed for a while before, and let a few of his subordinates take over the title of Baozheng, but now he is gone." I know I was wrong."

Sun Xin looked at this scene and couldn't say anything. He could naturally guess that Zeng Suo had always looked down on him before, and Zong Ze quickly rebelled when he provoked him. Sun Jiazhuang was notified of this matter in advance, and he pressed people to Zhuangzi without stopping.

When Sun Xin was about to speak, Zeng Suo, who was kneeling silently on the ground, suddenly spoke:
"I really don't know that the Supervisory Committee is a rebellious person. How can there be such a theory as having an affair with the imperial court?"

"My brother-in-law is really a hero for making such a career, but I may not be as good as him if you give me a few years."

When Zeng Suo knelt and said this, he looked at Sun Xin with dissatisfaction.

Zeng Daguan's chest heaved and he raised his hand to hit him, but Sun Xin hurriedly stopped him.

"Third brother has a problem with me, and I, Sun Xin, know it too. I can't explain it clearly."

"Now Zeng Sheng is also studying at the Supervisory Council University in my Sunjiazhuang. He just came back from the company for training. Let's go to the school to pick him up first, and we will have dinner together in the evening."

Sun Xin looked at Zeng Suo and said with a smile: "Third brother doesn't need to make an apology, I have never blamed third brother in my heart."

Zeng Suo stared blankly at Sun Xin, and found that his eyes were very sincere when he spoke, and he did not appear to be lying at all.

How can it be?Zeng Suo was in a daze, he was doing Sun Xin's tricks behind his back, and he said he never blamed himself?This person is probably stubborn!

Sun Xin stepped forward and pulled. Zeng Suo didn't like to kneel, so he snorted coldly and stood up.

Master Zeng was still angry with his third son, and walked ahead with his hands behind his back.

The University of the Supervisory Committee was some distance away from Sunjiazhuang, so after a few people transferred out of Sunjiaji, they asked the farmer to bring the horses, and they got on the horses and drove towards the university together.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Military Academy of Supervisory Council University, he heard a deafening rumble.

Sun Xin smiled at the people in Zengtou City immediately: "Five Brothers in front are training in rotation, let's go and have a look together."

More than 100 military officers in the Military Academy are now in their last year of study, and they have spent more than half a year in the camp on average, and now they take turns to come back to continue the cultural courses that follow.

There is no shortage of training for officers while taking cultural classes. Now there are always more than 50 officers in rotation training in the military academy, and they have formed three queues according to their respective arms. After class every day, they have to practice on the training ground for a while .

The people from Zengtou City came at the time of the military academy's big joint training every ten days, and the officers of the three arms all went to the field with real guns and live ammunition.

Now every joint training in the university requires a large batch of ammunition to be ordered. These are the gunpowder in stock made by the Sunjiazhuang workshop, which happens to be used for these officers to practice their hands.

When several people got off their horses, Lu Zhishen was standing on a high ground observation post watching the scene of the off-court drill.

Seeing Sun Xin approaching, Lu Zhishen smiled, handed him the binoculars in his hand, and then greeted the people in Zengtou City.

Sun Xin didn't need to see so clearly, he handed the binoculars directly to Senior Officer Zeng beside him and said, "Father, this thing is a binocular, it can see the situation in the distance, it is very convenient on the battlefield, it is our Dengzhou A new invention recently."

Sun Xin's Dengzhou has never ordered the technology tree of glass manufacturing. Without it, Sun Xin would not do it.

But since Jiebao went to Haizhou, the problem of transparent raw materials has been solved.

Later generations did not have the ability to manufacture transparent glass on a large scale until the end of the Qing Dynasty. However, glasses were quickly popularized among literati and bureaucrats in the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially the glasses produced by Jiangsu Sun Yunqiu. Even ordinary wealthy families with cheap prices can afford it.

And the material of the transparent lens of the glasses he used is not glass, but transparent crystal.

The largest crystal producing area in the country is the Lianyungang area in the East China Sea, which is also Haizhou where Jiebao's Niugang Village is located.

Transparent crystals are not as precious as ordinary people imagine, even if they are almost a few hundred yuan a piece in the image of later generations, the cost of grinding telescope lenses is considered low.

Senior Officer Zeng put the binoculars to his eyes and saw a cavalryman charging from the tube. He was so frightened that he almost threw away the precious mirror, but then he held it tightly. He also entered the battlefield. Those who walked by it immediately understood how important this thing was on the battlefield.

Sun Xin didn't show off the telescope too much.

The technique of transparent glass could be clearly studied by the Chinese themselves in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In fact, telescopes were not a novelty in the Qing Dynasty.

Sun Xin's telescope produced in Dengzhou will not be out of circulation for a long time, and craftsmen all over the world will be able to make it. It only takes a week to find a mirror grinder with better craftsmanship to imitate it.

The technical difficulty is much smaller than that of making muskets and mass producing hemp yarn.Therefore, Sun Xin's telescope did not intend to use the method of making rare things more expensive at the beginning, but relied on mass production, focusing on precision.

Sun Xin’s binoculars are all calibrated in detail, and the focus is corrected very rigorously. They are divided into ten times, twenty times and fifty times for sale. In terms of the precision of lathes alone, Sun Xin, who has boring machine technology, is still sure to beat In this day and age, there are still workers who use rags to support the workers who untie the jade and sand the crystals.

But at this time, after passing the telescope around, the people in Zengtou City no longer had the time to think about whether they wanted to buy a pair of binoculars and go back to use them. Their attention was still all attracted by the wonderful exercises below.

There are more than 50 cadets in the field, divided into three parts according to the infantry, artillery and cavalry services.

The cavalry marched forward in a neat formation, under the supervision of a few trumpets, listening to the sound of gongs.

When they arrived at the place where they were expected to charge, as soon as the sound of the chime changed, the horses under the crotch of this group of cavalry quickly changed from slow steps to canters, and finally to fast strides.

A group of cavalry sat on their horses and waved the short spears or sabers issued by the cavalry officers of Sunjiazhuang. They shouted and leaned forward, trying to position their weapons as far forward as possible to contact the enemy first.

Just roaring and completing a charge, the cavalry slowly retracted their horses and returned to the point of impact.

Such an exercise that seemed to be a play did not seem to be very good in the eyes of outsiders, but the four people in Zengtou City saw the way in an instant.

"What a horse!" Shi Wengong couldn't help but praise.

The first thing you can see is the horses under the crotch of these cavalrymen.

The types of horses are so tall and strong, and the level of training is about the same. They can actually match a cavalry team of dozens of people. The horses in the team are all about the same height and look very neat. This alone can tell the strength of this team .

This is the result of Sun Xin's great multiplication in the depths of Dengzhou before. The Agricultural College has already had the first batch of animal husbandry experts who specialize in tending the cattle and horses of the Dengzhou Supervisory Committee, and they have also started prenatal and postnatal care. Now Dengzhou has researched and formed its own. Cavalry horse breeds, the main sources of horse breeds are the excellent mares among the four horses of the God of the Dangerous Dao Yubao, and the second is the excellent stallions transported by Yinmachuan.

Now that the ponies haven't grown up yet, the horses used by the cavalry are naturally the fine breeds of the horses captured before, but because it is expected that they can breed good horses by themselves, Sun Xin is willing to equip these cavalry with some good things, at least those after castration It is no longer possible to use the geldings for breeding to make the best use of them, and they just managed to gather such a group of good horses for the Military University.

It is also a housekeeping skill for the cavalry to go to the horses, so these horses are the result of the best domestication in the military university in this era, and they naturally perform extraordinary.

Shi Wengong understood how horse battles should be carried out. Just seeing the difference between the fastest horses of this group of cavalry and the later horses when they charged quickly, he knew how powerful these horses were.

When the cavalry of the two sides collides, whoever can concentrate the cavalry can form an advantage in a small area.Shi Wengong knew the strength of his cavalry in Zengtou City, and there was at least three or four horses between the first and the rear in the charge.

If the cavalry from Zengtou City collided with the cavalry from Sunjiazhuang, the first cavalry from Zengtou City would be surrounded by three or four cavalry from Sunjiazhuang at the moment of the collision. Will be eaten by the opponent.
