Daqin Engineering Corps

What if it's the other way around?

Beating a dog also depends on the face of the owner, doesn't it?

So although Yang Duanhe gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, he couldn't do anything, so he asked Li Yan to send someone to watch Chen Wei secretly.

This is a general "missing" a little miser.

It is conceivable that Chen Wei will not end well.

It can also be said that Chen Kui was clever but was mistaken by cleverness.

But Chen Wei still didn't know this, he was just surprised that he could still see Shen Bing the next day.

"what happened?"

"Didn't the recommendation succeed last night?"

"Why is this guy still here?"

"Could it be that the general looks down on him?"

"Yes, the general must be someone who disdains craftsmen and jugglers."

"Well, it must be so."

Chen Wei didn't realize that two of his personal guards had become new faces.

Or it can also be said that Chen Wei noticed it but didn't think deeply about it.

After all, this is also very common in the army.

At the same time, his groom was also transferred to another department to replace it with a new one...

Shen Bing didn't pay attention to these things.

He only knew that he received one after another "gifts" from Yang Duanhe that night.

First of all, a brand new pair of leather armor...

If it is an ordinary soldier, it should be equipped with armor at the second level.

But gunners seldom fight in close quarters, and it is inconvenient to move around after wearing armor, so they usually don't wear armor.

Shen Bing is of course an exception.

The second is Yang Duan and the personal guards who assigned Shen Bing a team.

Workers with personal guards?

This is the exception of exceptions.

Usually only a stingy man like Chen Kui can match a personal guard.

The duty of this personal guard is to protect the personal safety of Miser and assist in the management of the craftsmen.

Such as checking camps, supervising workers, delivering letters, chasing deserters and so on.

However, even a stingy husband is only equipped with a team of personal guards.

This was not over, and soon came a one-horse carriage and a groom.

The groom is not only responsible for raising horses but also driving and doing chores.

Yang Duanhe had a high-sounding excuse for distributing these to Shen Bing:

"The Artillery Master Shen Bingjue never changes."

"And the role of the artillery division is becoming more and more important, with personal guards, chariots and horses for driving."

There is some truth in that.

Do ordinary craftsmen have the title of "not changing"?

Shut up if you don't.

And the artillery division is indeed becoming more and more important. What if it is attacked by the enemy in a war?

It's not too much to have five personal guards to protect the gunners and engineers, right?

Is it necessary to have a carriage for its driving?

So it depends on what the general said, and wanting to say something is just an excuse.

In fact, with Shen Bing's prestige among the craftsmen at this time, no one dared to say anything even if he didn't make excuses.

Another change is that the hairstyle has become cooler...

It is not necessary to comb the hair to the left and right sides, but to stand up in the middle.

Because Shangzao is used by armored men for melee combat rather than crossbowmen, there is no need to worry about the vision being blocked.

If a crown is added to the hair bun, it is a hairpin, and if a rib is added to the crown, it is not changed.

What Shen Bing was wearing at this time was this board crown with a rib.

Ordinary soldiers have to salute and give way when they see this title symbol.

Shen Bing heard from Cang that "Bu Geng" rewarded four times as much land as "Gongshi" on the other side of the house.

That is to say, four hectares of land and four houses of residence.

Shen Bing didn't know what the concept was, and he didn't know the so-called "family" so he didn't pay much attention to it.

He is more interested in those personal guards...

As I said before, the lord will behead all his personal guards.

That is to say, these personal guards must do everything they can to keep Shen Bing safe at all times, even at the cost of their lives.

So, this is my bodyguard, and it is still the bodyguard who will die for me.

How majestic it would be if it were placed in modern times!

But Shen Bing knew that these were nothing in this era.

Not to mention that Wang Jian has four thousand personal guards, and any master of five hundred has fifty personal guards.

That little girl Yang Ting still has a thousand personal guards...

Compared with the guards in Shen Bing's hands, it seemed a bit shabby.

However, "If you don't accumulate steps, you can't make a thousand miles."

Shen Bing knew that this matter had to be taken slowly, and now it was a small first step.

If one day I can get that northern cavalry to be my personal guard...

Shen Bing suddenly felt itchy.

Chapter 66 Stool

Since Yang Duanhe and Wang Jian don't need to compete for merit, they are not in a hurry to attack Handan.

Qin Jun only built a city wall around Zhao Jun on the outskirts of the city to prepare for a long-term siege.

At this time, Yang Duanhe transported a few catapults and flint bombs to Wang Jian...

There is no need to hide and tease the trebuchet, especially now that the two have reached a consensus.

It is said that Nalu Gong immediately disassembled one of the trebuchets into parts.

In fact, there is no need to disassemble it at all. The structure of this trebuchet is very simple and you can understand it at a glance.

It's just that Lu Gongsheng was cautious and didn't want to miss any details, so he did so.

Then, Lu Gong tossed around in front of the trebuchet for a whole day, not thinking about eating or drinking.

When it was over, he exclaimed:

"This is not a high skill."

"It's a brilliant production!"

This can be said to hit the nail on the head.

Can Shen Bing know carpentry?

In fact, Shen Bing didn't know anything about it.

Modern mechanical design studies are all about CAD/CAM, as well as material mechanics and the like. No one has ever done carpentry work.

So as Lu Gong said, it has nothing to do with skills, but it has very brilliant ideas.

But what is important is not skill, what is important is creativity.

There is no shortage of people with skilled skills in the artillery division, and Cang is one of them...

Although this guy is as timid as a mouse, his craftsman skills are really taught.

For example, now, when Shen Bing waved to Cang, Cang ran over in a hurry.

"Brother, what are your orders?"

Shen Bing took the branch and drew on the ground while saying:

"You do such a thing."

"Two long frames interlaced, connected by a copper shaft in the middle, tied with hemp rope at the upper end and covered with a layer of hemp cloth."

……

This is actually a simple folding stool.

Shen Bing couldn't stand this era without chairs, and would "kneel" on the ground at every turn.

Not to mention the pain in the knee, I will lose consciousness after a long time.

Cang looked at this picture in a daze.

"Brother, what is the use of this thing?"

Shen Bing responded impatiently:

"You just do it."

Cang responded and went to do it.

Although Cang had ten craftsmen under his command, Shen Bing told him that he still made it himself.

The structure of this folding stool is very simple, and it was done in a few clicks, and then Cang brought it to Shen Bing with a puzzled expression:

"Brother, please take a look, is it the same as what you said?"

"If there is a deviation, I will go and correct it."

Shen Bing didn't speak, took it, opened it, put it on the ground, and sat on it.

Cang stared blankly for a while with his eyes wide open, and then turned around Shen Bing a few times.

exclaimed:

"Miao, brother, this thing is really wonderful!"

"From now on, there will be no need to look for stones or stakes to rest."

"Senior brother, can you... Let the younger brother try?"

Shen Bing stood up unwillingly.

Cang just said "Thank you, brother" and sat down impatiently.

This time I was stunned again:

"Wonderful, the height is suitable, the softness and hardness are moderate."

"It's much easier to use than those stones and wooden stakes."

"And when you use it, you can fold it up and carry it with you when you don't use it..."

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful!"

When Cang said this, other craftsmen also gathered around, you try it, I will try it.

Then everyone followed suit and made their own...
