Dress to be a celebrity

King Qi sent a letter to Hanzhong, and within a few days, Shaanxi Province delivered the biscuits he wanted, as well as several carts of tinned poultry, meat, and canned fish, pure meat ham sausage, and long-lasting sauce. Meat, ham, meat floss, and baskets of salted eggs, pine flowers and the like.

The person who escorted the chariot was Yu Yuan, the commander of the guards of the Zhou Palace, which showed that the Zhou King attached great importance to this matter.

He handed the long list to King Qi, Shilang Yang, and the generals in the hall: "These were urgently collected by His Royal Highness King Zhou from the Hanzhong Mansion. Please use them first. The rest of the mansions are also rushing forward." Such new military rations should be delivered one after another within a few days. Our Highness said that since His Highness King Qi thinks it is good, it must be beneficial to the war, and His Highness will spare no effort to supply it. Among the military rations sent in the future, the biscuits , There will be more meat."

King Qi nodded and said, "Go back and thank me on my behalf."

Yang Shilang received the list on his behalf, sent it to the military quartermaster for checking, and then gave a deep salute to the southwest, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your help, His Royal Highness Zhou, with such light military rations, Wang Shishaotan can send it farther away." Here, it is easier to detect the movements of the captives!"

Several generals marched in salute, and asked Commander Yu to go back and pay tribute to King Zhou on their behalf.

Commander Yu nodded and said: "If our Highness knows that this batch of military rations can have such a function, we will be very happy. These are the rations used by the army. I also sent a letter for the prince to His Highness King Qi, and there is also a box of Song Sanyuan and Huan Qianxian's newly made torch—”

This flashlight is illuminated by electric beads, which can be held in the hand and used anywhere. It is very convenient and light.It was only a few days after it was produced, and before it was offered to the capital, His Highness ordered it to be sent to the front of the army first.

I hope that His Highness and the princes will make good use of it, and it will not disappoint the kindness of King Zhou.

He took out King Zhou's autographed letter from his arms, and presented it to the servant next to King Qi with both hands, and then asked the accompanying Qianhu to bring a small huanghuali official suitcase.

The door of the box was opened, revealing three rows of drawers, the upper two rows were a row of three small drawers, and the bottom row was a whole row of long drawers.The commander pulled them out one by one, and saw two white iron rods as thick as arms hidden in the upper small drawer, and the bottom drawer was full of round rods that were thinner than the upper iron rods and three-thirds the length. cylinder.

It's not surprising that the thing underneath is only covered with a yellow shell, not even carved.But the iron rods on the top are a bit special-the rods have a big circle at one end, and the top is inlaid with a glass surface. Inside the glass is a small silver bowl, holding a glass bead in the middle.

King Qi recognized the glass bead as an electric bead at a glance, squinted his eyes and said, "Is this changing the hand generator into an electric rod?"

Before leaving Hanzhong, Governor Yang had seen a DC power suit that was not available on the market, and shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid the electric rod is empty, and the small tin can is a battery, right? Is it filled with glass and battery fluid?"

Commander Yu couldn't figure this out, he just said: "This is indeed called a battery. When Master Huan gave it to our lord, he said that it was remodeled by the Song Fuzun. It is not afraid of dropping the battery fluid. It is more convenient than the original glass bottle. .”

Master Yang went up and took a battery to look at it carefully, and shook it again, but he didn't hear the sound of water.He deliberately opened it to see what it was like inside, but felt that the battery was precious, and it was not worth destroying one just because of his curiosity.

He didn't even touch the battery anymore. Others looked at the appearance of this thing, and didn't pay attention to it. They all looked at those flashlights——

If they were in the capital, they would hold their own identities and wait for introductions with restraint. Now in front of the army, there are still so many rules.The youngest Cheng Guogong strode forward and picked up an iron cylinder. He weighed it in his hand, but it was unusually light.

He touched a protruding place on his waist, pressed it hard twice, but it didn't turn on, so he frowned and asked, "How can this electric baton be turned on? Do you want to install the 'battery' over there?" Wait for a demo with me."

Commander Yu said "No", stepped forward to pick up another flashlight, and took two gray cylinders from the bottom drawer, stuffed them in, and then pressed the protruding iron piece on the waist of the flashlight. Wipe it down.

A dazzling yellow light instantly lit up, and a dark line was instantly branded in front of the eyes of the person who was looking at the electric bead.

Although the skylight seeped into their tents, the light from the flashlight was still clearly discernible. It was a beam of light reflecting the flying dust, creating a circular spot of light on the tent wall.

King Qi took a step forward uncontrollably, while Duke Cheng took a quicker step, almost snatching the flashlight, not afraid of dazzling, and looked at the electric bead carefully.

He also tried to switch on and off, fiddled with it a few times, and then remembered to dedicate this thing to King Qi, and said excitedly: "Your Highness, please look, this flashlight can illuminate without fire, and it is convenient for us to use it when we march across the water." Extremely!"

Commander Yu was installing other flashlights so that he could show them to the soldiers. Hearing what he said, he quickly explained: "Duke, this flashlight cannot be exposed to water. It will break if it is exposed to water!"

Why, such a thick iron rod can break if it gets wet?

Commander Yu couldn't say anything, but Yang Shilang still remembered that Song Shi had taught students to store static electricity in glass bottles filled with water, so he explained for him: "When Fu Guogong didn't see it raining, the electricity fell into the world with the rain? This electricity is stained. The water will melt into the water, so don't touch the water."

Although it can’t get wet, but it’s covered with oilcloth in rainy days, so that the front of the glass doesn’t need to be blocked by anything, so that the light can shine through, which is more convenient than any torches, wind lamps, or kerosene lamps.

Fu Guogong, Cheng Guogong and other veterans who are familiar with wars immediately thought of the benefits of this flashlight, grabbed Commander Yu Xuxu and asked how to use it, and how long the battery can last.Commander Yu answered one by one, and asked the two guards of the royal palace who could install flashlights to teach the counselors around the princes and princes of Qi to change the batteries and electric beads, and repair some minor problems of poor contact.

He said everything he remembered, and then bowed his hands to the king and saluted: "When my highness came down, I warned the officials that although this flashlight is precious, it is not as good as my Great Zheng's Northern Expedition for thousands of years. I hope that your highness will fight with your lords." Make good use of this thing, don't treat it as a rare thing, in the future Huan and Song will make more of this kind of good weapon, to help my Dazheng Wangshi."

The King of Zhou not only said this to the commander of the guards, but he also generously promised in the letter to the King of Qi: They only need to send a letter to the army to sweep out the captives, and the elder brother will try his best to raise funds so that they don’t have any money. Lack of.

King Qi felt sour when he saw it, and there was a bit of astringency in the sourness.At one moment, he was jealous of the good fate of the emperor's brother, who was born to be the eldest son; at the other moment, he resented Song Shi's affection for him, and only saw the emperor's brother in his eyes; He just sent it over...

But he couldn't help admitting that he had to beg for things from the emperor, so that he could get three for one, so he might be secretly holding back.

If it was changed to the third younger brother who came to him to belittle the king of Zhou when he left the capital, now he might be accused of greedy for pleasure before the army rations arrived, and he would have come to the imperial court first if he asked for refined grains and delicacies.

He was secretly entangled in his heart, and several generals were still talking nonsense about King Zhou's friendship and brotherhood, loyalty to the army and patriotism, and dedication to the Northern Expedition.After talking about it, King Qi murmured in his ear: "His Royal Highness Zhou has such a deep love for Tangdi, which is really enviable. It is also thanks to Master Song that he was inspired by the heavens and used it to attract thunder and lightning. This is God's blessing. Da Zheng, you must succeed!"

King Qi didn't have a word to refute, but he just admitted that his brother was good at doing things and being a man, and even he actually had some trust in his heart. It's no wonder that Song Shi chose his brother who was exiled from Beijing and didn't choose him...

He was still uneasy, and said secretly: Brother Huang is still talking about Huan Song at this time, but everyone in the world said it was Song Huan!He just favors his own wife and uncle, and doesn't know how to put talent first!

However, no one heard King Qi's biased theory, and even if they heard it, no one would follow up to discuss it.

The people sent by the king of Zhou went down to rest, and several generals studied the usage of the flashlight with Yang Jianjun:

It's bright during the day, and it's hard to see how bright its light is and how far it can hit.After trying it out at night, I realized that this light can really shine a beam of light in the air, hitting trees and grass.No matter where it hits, it still emits a round light spot. The farther the light is, the bigger the light spot will be.

What's even better is that the light looks like it's bundled into a pillar, only illuminating the line in front of your eyes, not like a torch burning up into the sky, which is very easy to be recognized in the night.When walking on the road, keep the light low, and only illuminate a few steps in front of the feet, and then cover it a little bit, even if there are barbarian sentries dozens of steps away, I am afraid they will not be able to see them marching.

But if it is shot towards the sky, the light will not be able to reach anything, and only a large and small beam of light can be seen from the side, which blurs and disperses in the middle of the day.

This beam of light can be used as beacon fire!

But it is much more convenient than Fenghuo.

The generals immediately thought that if they found the captives at night, they just need to turn the head of the lamp up and emit a beam of yellow light soaring into the sky, wouldn't the army be able to follow the light and wipe out the resting captives?

Even if the captives found the beam of light, the light would not be able to illuminate the figure of a person, nor would it leave smoke marks.The spies just need to turn off the flashlight and find another place to hide before they come, so they won't be discovered.And this flashlight is unprecedented in the world. Before they saw it today, they had never imagined that they could use the lamp to illuminate such a beam of light, let alone the captives, and they would definitely have suspicions about it——

Maybe they thought it was a sign of gods and ghosts, and gathered people there to pray; maybe they were so frightened that they fled at night; or maybe they regarded it as natural and left them alone...

But no matter how they act, it will only be more conducive to the master Wang's concealment!

The generals discussed with Yang Jianjun very emotionally, and immediately dispatched elite scouts to teach them how to use the flashlight, and taught people to design code words to convey by waving the flashlight, and sent these spies deep into the grassland.

When the new snow fell in Hanzhong Mansion this year, the first big victory came from the grassland outside the pass.
