Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 104 The Murderer
Zhao Zhenzheng felt bored, and asked Fu Bi hurriedly, "What's so weird?"

Fu Bi said: "When I was in Shaanxi, I inspected the sergeants, and even the elite Imperial Army didn't shoot crossbows so fast. It's really weird. Please come and see what happened."

When Fu Bi said this, Han Qi also agreed: "I also find it strange, please go with Yan Guo."

Seeing that the two privy envoys said so, the emperor ordered the drill to be stopped, and Fu and Han went down from the general platform to the school grounds.In fact, the matter was very simple. Fu Bi could tell at a glance that there were two extra belts attached to the belt outside the armor of each crossbowman, and an iron hook hung on the belt.From the length and shape of the iron hook, it can be judged that the crossbowman can use the iron hook instead of both hands to pull the crossbow string and hang it on the hair. This saves the strength of the hand, allows the waist and abdomen to be fully utilized, and the speed of the crossbow winding is natural. Much faster.

Seeing that such a simple device shortened the firing interval of crossbow bolts by more than [-]%, Fu Bi couldn't help nodding his head in approval.Unlike Fu Bi, Han Qi just nodded and walked back to Dianjiangtai.

Seeing Fu Bi's happy face, the emperor hurriedly asked, "Fu Qing, what have you gained?"

Fu Bi said: "I don't know who it is, but with only two belts and an iron hook, the speed of crossbow arrows has been increased a lot. If this method is popularized, our Song crossbow array will be like a rain of arrows from the Tartars." , must be unstoppable."

"Oh? So powerful?" Zhao Zhen was very happy.

Han Qi immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I think so too. To deal with Liao and Xia's cavalry, the only thing we rely on is the bow and crossbow. If this thing can equip our Song's elite and Xia's thief cavalry Is there any reason to be crazy? I don’t know how many battles can be won.”

After hearing this, Fu Bi couldn't help but glance at Han Qi.I thought that the nineteenth method was thought up by Li Buqi. Han Zhigui's words were ingenious. The emperor would have thought that he would be invincible with this quick winding method. If Li Buqi didn't have sufficient evidence to prove this The method was recently thought up, so Li Buqi would have to take the blame for sitting by and watching Song Jun lose.And if the emperor asks Li Buqi clearly, and Li Buqi has no chance to explain, Han Zhigui is really calculating.

Sure enough, seeing the slight change in the emperor's face, Fu Bi knew that Han Qi's words had put Li Buqi in the trap.But he heard that Li Buqi was good at fighting against literati, and he didn't intend to offend Han Qi for Li Buqi, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything.

After the drill of the new army over there, Wang Zhaoming and Ge Shengwen came to the stage to listen to orders.Zhao Zhen said a few words of approval, and bestowed the title of "Zhenwu" on the new army.Now the new army has a formal establishment.

Then the emperor asked: "I think the method of opening the crossbow is very good, who thought of it?"

Wang Zhaoming immediately replied: "Everyone came up with this method together. Li Tiju thought that the original method of stringing the crossbow was too labor-intensive and slow. There must be a better way, so he asked the instructor of the Imperial Army to , craftsmen, soldiers and I thought of a way together. A disabled veteran who raised a horse said that he saw someone tie a crossbow with an iron hook tied to his belt, so Li Tiju, the craftsmen and the instructor of the imperial army improved the method and it became like this appearance."

"Oh, that's how it is." The emperor nodded and asked again: "Then can this method be promoted in the army?"

"This method has just been tested. If His Majesty thinks it can be implemented, I will naturally obey the order."

The emperor was anxious, and immediately said: "Okay, let's implement it in the army as soon as possible."

Fu Bi and Han Qi bowed and agreed: "I obey the order!"

The emperor rewarded Li Buqi, the three nobles, and the Zhenwu Army, so he went to Jinming Lake with the ministers to have a banquet.Li Buqi asked the troops to take them back to the station, and he wanted to go home and have a look.After being busy for three months, I didn't even take care of building a new house at home.

The new house is not far from the Yaohua Palace outside Zhengmen in the inner city. It bought the land from the government shop. It has more than an acre of land, which is enough to build a big house. For this reason, Lu Feng and Lu Xiaopang specially invited people from the capital to buy it. A well-known builder gave the design.

It takes a lot of money to build such a big house, and if the construction outside the city is also started, then Li Buqi's working capital will be in a hurry.So Li Buqi discussed with his parents to build half of it first. The two old people were worried that the house would be too deserted if the population was too small, so they persuaded Li Buqi to buy two maids to serve by his side.

Father and mother are not served by anyone yet, if Li Buqi has a few maids by his side, can't he give others a handle?But it's also a good idea to have two little lolis by your side to develop them.Feudal society is so cute.So let Lu Feng pick up reliable people and buy two to serve his parents, and then Li Buqi can justifiably raise Lolita.

Now Li Buqi is also very busy.Drinking with a group of honorable children until midnight and returning home, there are still people waiting.

This is a sturdy military man in his twenties with long hands and long legs, with a dark round face, sleepy eyes, a big parted mouth, thick lips, and a fairly honest and slightly stupid appearance.

Li Lei introduced: "This is Guo Dutou. When I was in the army, I was often taken care of by Guo Dutou. Today Guo Dutou is in trouble. If you have a way, you can help a group of Guo Dutou."

Guo Du cupped his hands and said: "This matter is really difficult. I didn't dare to embarrass Mr. Li. It's just that Mr. Li is a righteous man, and he has the best way to solve many troubles for me and other soldiers, so I have the audacity Come."

Hehe, have I been upgraded to Li Daguan yet?Li Buqi put a big hat on his head and said: "Since everyone is kind to my family, I will do my best as long as I can do it. Don't call me a senior official, just call me Zhongzheng." .But I don't know what's going on in the capital?"

Guo Dutou sighed and said: "Mr. Li, I'm here only for my brother's life. My brother's name is Zhou Qing. He used to be a card soldier in the imperial army, but later he became evil and was driven to a regiment from the imperial army. Among the relegated Xiang army. Three years ago this Xiang army was sent to exterminate the giant bandit Cao Heitou. There were many, and they were killed by the bandits in the city. The official felt that he had lost face, so he vented his anger on the army, pointing out that there were some in the army who communicated with the bandits, and put the commander and several heads in prison and tortured several people to death. Because the sergeant was about to mutiny, my brother escaped with his life, but he was beaten to death and sent to Cangzhou."

"Last year, my elder brother came back from Cangzhou when he met Amnesty. A few days ago, he met the official who came to Beijing to guard the gate on the street. There was a moment of disagreement, and he pushed him in anger. Who would have thought that the man was exhausted by wine and sex. body, he fell on a rock and died when he was pushed. The Kaifeng government sentenced my brother to a crime of revenge and murder, and asked to be executed in autumn. If Li Daguan has a way, please save my brother. En Dade never forgets."

Oh, murder?Still killed an official guarding the gate.It was the military man who killed the boss who had a grudge in the past.The civil servants will share the same hatred in this matter.Let alone whether Li Buqi is going to help Guo Du, if he really intervenes in this matter, he will challenge the entire civil servant group.

However, Li Buqi decided to ask, because if he wants to use drastic means to deal with the civil official group in the future, he must have his own hidden power as a backup. A person who has a deadly feud with the civil official and dares to retaliate is a good choice.

After thinking for a while, Li Buqi asked, "Why did that Zhou Qing hate his boss at that time?"

"To tell you the truth, it's just that the new boss is too greedy for the military salary, and the sergeants complained a lot, so my brother cursed a few times after drinking and reported it to the boss."

"Hmm. So does Zhou Qing have any outstanding skills?"
