Daqin Engineering Corps

Artillery craftsmen welcome Shen Bing as an engineer.

This is not only because of Shen Bing's previous ability and wisdom, but more importantly, his interests.

The biggest benefit is "collective discussion of merit".

"Collective discussion of merit" can be said to be another advanced feature of the twenty military merit title system in Qin Dynasty.

Before Shang Yang's reform, most of the credit was given to the generals.

This obviously has many problems:

For example, regardless of the casualties of his subordinates, the general can use the corpses of his subordinates for victory and credit.

For example, subordinates understand that victory and credit have little to do with them, so they passively save their lives and their morale is low.

If the merits of the group are discussed, these problems do not exist.

Every battle is not just a simple victory, but the credit must be counted only if one's own battle damage is lower than the number of enemies killed.

This forced the generals to find ways to save the lives of their subordinates.

This will in turn unite the subordinates to fight the enemy bravely and form a virtuous circle.

Therefore, Shen Bing persuaded more than a hundred cavalrymen to surrender and distributed the credit, which was actually not without benefits.

The subordinates who have been given credit will be grateful to Shen Bing for this, and the craftsmen who have not been given credit hope to be included in the Shen Bing system so that they can be promoted to rank in the future.

As a result, Shen Bing quickly got the support of everyone: believe that Shen Bing won the title.

What's more, Shen Bing has repeatedly helped Kuang Lan to save Qin Jun from danger, and he has invented new gadgets one after another...

In this case, if Shen Bing does not take over as the engineer, I am afraid that some people will not want to.

Even when Shen Bingjue "not changed", some people worried that he would return to his hometown.

If Shen Bing were to leave, where would they go to find this cheat-like "training"?

Even not only the artillery master, but also other military craftsmen such as blade masters, machinists, siege masters, and defenders are all staring at the artillery master's position.

If it wasn't for the limitation of household registration, even soldiers would want to squeeze into the artillery division...

In the past, soldiers were prestige because they were promoted quickly.

Nowadays, artillery masters are not only promoted quickly, but also less dangerous, which is naturally what everyone expects.

But as the saying goes, "a big tree attracts the wind", Shen Bing's promotion so fast will naturally violate the interests of some people.

Chen Wei is one of them.

It is said that Chen Wei's title is not changed.

It's just that Chen Kui inherited the hairpin from his ancestors for three generations.

In addition, he himself has worked hard in the army for more than [-] years to reach his position today.

Seeing that Shen Bing was easily promoted to the same title as him at this time, he was naturally unbalanced.

It's okay to be unbalanced in my heart, and Renren will pass.

But Chen Wei thought about it carefully.

Shen Bing took over Xun's position as engineer in just one month, so why not take over for him as a coward one day?

The scene of Xun being kicked out of the artillery division yesterday is still vivid in my memory.

Although Chen Kui is not as old as Xun, he has no injuries.

However, these days of doing nothing gave him a strong sense of crisis:

This Qin army doesn't support idlers!

With Shen Bing, his coward would become an idler.

Is that still far from my next position?

Therefore, in order to preserve his identity and status, he must get rid of the threat of Shen Bing.

But... how to get rid of this threat?

Sue?

Not to mention that Shen Bing couldn't find a flaw in committing a crime.

Even if a flaw is found, that Shen Bing is highly valued by the generals and school lieutenants, so I'm afraid it will be nothing.

Assassination?

Not to mention whether it will be successful.

Even if it succeeds, I am afraid that the general and the captain will not let it go.

At that time, if the investigation continues, I'm afraid I will lose my life.

Not only his own life is in danger, but also his family members may be killed.

Never make it.

Comparing Shen Bing with skill?

This is even more nonsense.

That Shen Bing always innovates and innovates.

No matter what problem comes to him, he can always solve it easily.

Competing yourself with him is better than hitting him head-on to death!

Chen Kui walked back and forth in the tent, even though his head turned white from worry, he couldn't think of a feasible strategy.

A sudden inspiration:

"Go!"

"If it can't be eradicated, why not do the opposite and recommend it?"

"General Wang Jian always transfers talents from General Yang's headquarters."

"If this Shen Bing is recommended to the general..."

Thinking about it, even Chen Kui himself was moved to come up with such a clever plan.

In this way, instead of being a villain, I can make meritorious service for recommending talents.

At the same time, Shen Bing can be removed from the artillery division...

So what if Shen Bing became famous in Wang Jian's department?

I can still do whatever I want in Yang Duanhe's department.

Maybe, a few years later, Shen Bing would still be grateful to himself for this!

So Chen Wei no longer hesitated.

Immediately, he ordered people to prepare chariots and horses to leave the camp and head straight for the west camp where General Wang Jian was.

At this time, Wang Jian was shocked by the fireballs that shot into the city from the north of the city.

Wang Jian also heard the news that Yang Duan and his troops attacked Zhao Jun with fire in Woniu Mountain and won.

He only knew that it was an ordinary rocket fire attack.

Only then did I realize that this was not the case.

Immediately, a lot of doubts swirled in Wang Jian's mind:

What is the fireball made of?

Or what projectile?

To be able to cross the city wall and enter the city for more than a hundred steps...

If this is going to the four directions outside the city of Handan, how can Handan be lucky?

But if the fire at the north gate can't be controlled now, I'm afraid the city will be destroyed!

Let Yang Duanhe come out on top again.

At this time, the Ministry will report the receipt:

"General."

"General Yang ordered Chen Kui, a coward, to ask to see him."

Wang Jian couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and was about to ask if he didn't like it, so he sent it to his door.

"Please!"

"Hurry up and call Shang Lu Gong!"

Chapter 63 王翦

The reason why Wang Jian called Lu Gong was because this Lu Gong was a descendant of Lu Ban, and his craftsman skills were also excellent.

Wang Jian hoped that Lu Gong could understand Chen Wei's words.

What Wang Jian didn't expect was that he didn't need clichés at all.

Chen Kui stepped forward and poured out everything he knew:

"Subordinates see the general!"

"This subordinate is here to recommend a talent to the general."

"This person's surname is Shen Mingbing, and he is currently an artillery engineer."

……

Wang Jian was not very interested in recommending talents, but his eyes widened when he heard about Pao Shi Gong Shi.

Is it possible that the secret channel is related to the projected fireball?

Sure enough, Wang Jian guessed right.

Chen Wei went on to say:

"This man is incredibly gifted and talented."

"He first improved the trebuchet to increase its range to more than two hundred steps."

"I also modified flint bombs, sackcloth, etc. for fire attacks..."

Wang Jian interrupted Chen Kui:

"You mean, all the flint bombs you threw into the city at this moment were made by this person?"

Lu Gong also widened his eyes, and asked impatiently:

"Improve the trebuchet so that it has a range of two hundred steps?"

"How to reform the law?"

Chen Kui arched his hands to the two, and then replied:

"Back to the general, it was exactly what Shen Bing did."

"He just changed the human traction to a counterweight, and then used the axle to lift the counterweight."

"So a few people can control the trebuchet and increase its power several times."

Lu Gong is a person who has been immersed in carpentry for a long time. At the beginning of his debut, he followed the example of his ancestor Lu Ban and vowed to lead a craft.

And have been seeking innovative production for many years.

So when I heard what Chen Wei said, although I didn't quite understand it, I guessed it was close to ten.

Wang Jian asked Lu Gong in disbelief, "Is what Chen Kui said really feasible?"

Lu Gong thought for a while, then nodded and replied:

"The subordinates think it's true."

"And the fireball at the north gate..."

Needless to say, if this plan fails, what will happen to the fireballs shot into the city one by one by the north gate?
