Mencius said: The trouble for people is to be a teacher!
However, Han Qing feels that being a teacher is quite fulfilling.
Especially when the students are all extremely smart and eager to learn, and they never question whether what the teacher says is right or wrong, that feeling is simply ecstatic.
However, the generals and generals of the Zhenrong Army around Han Qing's tent have not felt that enjoyable these days.
Not only were the various strange noises coming from the tent from time to time making people uneasy, but the sudden flying of lanterns, fireballs, wood chips and rocks in the sky also made people feel dizzy.
And the sudden explosion sound was even more unbearable.
Whether they are civil servants who are calculating supplies or military generals who are deducing tactics, if they suddenly hear a "muffled thunder" and then find that the teacup and candlestick next to them is shaken back and forth, they will instantly become so nervous that their hairs stand on end.
When they finally came to their senses, they had completely forgotten what they were doing and had to start over.
It doesn't matter if all kinds of sounds and unusual sights happen at a fixed time every day. Just try to avoid them.
But on Han Qing's side, he was causing trouble in an irregular manner. Basically, he would only hit once and then make a sound, which made it difficult for people to guard against it.
At first, a civil servant complained in front of Li Jihe, but the old fox slapped him and put him off.
Soon, another general protested in front of Li Jihe, but the old fox frowned and forcibly suppressed him.
Finally, Li Jihe couldn't stand it anymore and personally came to Han Qing's tent to check what weird skills the latter had taught his nephew and son these days.
When he saw it, Han Qing directed his nephew, son, and Dou Sha to throw a stone as big as a watermelon thirty or forty steps using a simple frame made of a few pieces of wood and straw ropes.
When he was far away, he immediately changed his mind.
An order was issued on the spot that everyone within a hundred steps of Han Qing's tent, except for his own Chinese army commander's tent, should move out. He also added an order and made it a rule to set up camp in the future.
That is, the tent of Han Canjun's family is right next to his Chinese army's big tent. Within a hundred steps of his Chinese army's tent, no other tents are allowed except Han Canjun's tent.
"Thank you, Uncle Shi, for the convenience!" Han Qing didn't feel much about Li Jihe suddenly giving him the title of joining the army. However, he was very grateful to Li Jihe for taking the initiative to free up a large enough test site for him.
His family knew his own affairs, and his science level had long since degraded to the level of a high school graduate in the early 21st century. Apart from mathematics, he could not teach many abstract theories to Dou Sha, Li Zhaoliang and others.
What he can basically teach Dou Sha, Li Zhaoliang and others now is experimental demonstrations of various physical and chemical phenomena and simple practical applications of these phenomena.
For example, the lever principle is used to throw stones, the pulley principle is used to lift heavy objects, and the hydraulic and pneumatic principles are used to spray water and sand. It does require a relatively large space, which is far from what the small space in the tent can satisfy.
In addition, moving other people's tents away can also effectively avoid accidental injuries.
After all, a teacher like him is only half-full, so don’t expect students who have just learned a little bit from him to be able to control the direction and accuracy of various test items.
"My dear nephew, you don't have to be polite! You are willing to impart all your knowledge to me. It's me who should thank you!" As if he had expected that Han Qinghui would have no feeling at all about the rank of joint officer that he had temporarily placed on his head. Li Ji He waved his hands and said with a smile.
It happened that Li Zhaoliang, Li Zhaoxun and Dou Sha had adjusted the strange frame made of wood and ropes, and came to ask Han Qing for inspection and guidance. He simply followed, observed the entire adjustment process with his own eyes, and then pushed away My son personally pulled the mechanism that controlled the slinging arm on the shelf.
"Hoo!" The mechanism opened and the slinging arm, which had been fully charged with strength, was released. The latter bounced up with a roar, pushing a stone as big as a watermelon directly into the air.
This time, because the angle was adjusted well, the stone flew a full sixty steps before falling suddenly, causing mud to fly on the ground.
"It's better than stone cannons. The key is that it's easy to disassemble and lightweight." Li Jihe frowned, repeatedly checked the structure and material composition of the rack, and nodded expertly, "Stone cannons used for siege can hit a person." One hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty steps. But the weight is hundreds of times this. If we can find craftsmen to make this bigger and knock the stone over a hundred steps, we won't have to work so hard to cut down the wood in future battles. , made a stone cannon!"
"You are right, the principle is the same, but this one has added elastic storage and an adjustable weight basket." Han Qing did not hide his secrets, pointing to the bamboo basket and the ash wood slingshot in front of the shelf. Arm, introduced with a smile, "It's no problem to make it bigger. If the materials are suitable and the craftsmanship is good, the final product that is enlarged ten times should be able to throw a fifty kilogram stone three hundred steps away."
"How far?" Li Jihe was startled and asked instinctively loudly.
"Three hundred steps, at least two hundred steps, better, more than four hundred steps." Han Qing thought for a while, recalling the torque-type trebuchets in previous movies, and responded in a low voice, "But juniors don't I can guarantee that, after all, this is my first time doing it, so whether it will work or not is up for debate."
"If you can reach two hundred steps, I will personally ask the officials for your merit. As long as you don't commit the crime of rebellion, no one in the Song Dynasty will lay a finger on you." Li Jihe grabbed Han Qing's arm. , the old face turned red due to excitement and nervousness.
The Song army had catapults for a long time. When he was a boy, he followed his father and brother on an expedition to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he often saw that thing smashing holes into the city.
However, the catapults of the Song Dynasty had a maximum range of no more than 150 steps and weighed tens of thousands of kilograms.
Even if the wooden frame in front of you is enlarged ten times, it will weigh only two or three thousand kilograms at most. But it can increase the range to exceed that of feather arrows. If it is manufactured in large quantities and distributed to the army, the Song army will attack the enemy's city in the future. How could it be possible to withstand it? (Note: The torque-type trebuchet can project stones weighing hundreds of kilograms to 500 steps away. It was an invention in the late Song Dynasty. The Yuan army once used it on a large scale.)
"Two hundred steps should be no problem." Having already demonstrated the power of gunpowder to the other party, Han Qing really didn't think the catapult was worth fussing about. He smiled and broke away from Li Jihe's pull, and then called brothers Li Zhaoliang and Li Zhaoxun. He continued to add, "Huizhi, Qianzhi, I, and I plan not to do something so big. If we can throw a stone weighing seven or eight kilograms two hundred steps away, we will be successful. In the future, we will not He planned to throw stones, but instead put gunpowder in wine jars and threw them at the enemy formation."
"What are you throwing at? A gunpowder jar?" Li Jihe was startled again and tightly held Han Qing's arm. "Have you tried the power of gunpowder that weighs seven or eight kilograms?"
"I haven't tried it yet. I haven't found a suitable place. Yesterday afternoon I tried a half-kilogram one. It can overturn a water tank weighing 200 kilograms!" Li Zhaoxun was afraid of exciting his grandfather, so he stepped forward and patted his grandfather.
Spine, report softly.
Li Jihe quickly regained his composure, looked left and right first, and then shouted loudly, "Come here, tell me the order, the general order just now is invalid. From now on, set up camp and let Han Shenjun set up a separate camp behind the main camp. Li Zhaoliang and Li Zhaoxun brothers
The two brothers are responsible for leading the troops to protect the camp. The size of the camp is also decided by the two brothers!"
"Yes!" Li Xian, the leader of the soldiers, didn't know what was going on. He quickly stepped forward and took the order.
"From now on, Dr. Zhang is not allowed to bring his disciples and grandsons to disturb Han Shenjun. If there are real troubles that cannot be solved, he is the only one allowed to come!" Li Jihe's face became more and more serious as he thought about it.
After thinking about it, he continued to give instructions. "In addition, everything Han Shenjun does here is strictly prohibited from being spread to outsiders. Otherwise, if I let me know, it will definitely cost the lives of his whole family."
"Yes!" Another confidant came forward and bowed to accept the order.
"Huh -" Li Jihe looked around again and let out a long breath. Then, he held Han Qing in his arms and asked softly as if he were his own children: "These are all yours."
The family education of the old Han family? When I worked with your grandfather before, I never saw him show it. When you were in Bianliang, if you dedicated these to the official family, not to mention overthrowing a few party envoys, you would have beaten the official.
My own son, he will never be angry with you at all!"
"These are not family studies!" Dou Sha had asked similar questions a long time ago, so Han Qing answered for the second time with familiarity, "After I beat the party messenger, I have been thinking about where I went wrong. After thinking about it,
After thinking about it, I still feel that the key lies in the fact that our army of the Song Dynasty has a very small chance of winning against our party, Iron Kites. So..."
"Not only is the chance of winning too small, there is no chance of winning at all!" Before he could finish his words, Li Jihe let go of his arm and interrupted angrily.
"So, when I was going to Jinniu Village to take up my post, I was thinking about what to use to deal with the large group of cavalry." Han Qing smiled and added very calmly. "When I saw the medicine-haired puppet, I started thinking about gunpowder. See
When I got to the abandoned catapult, I thought about how to improve it, instead of throwing gunpowder at the head of Dangxiang's iron kite. It is best to keep the distance far enough so that Dangxiang and Daliao's cavalry cannot launch a charge!"
Now that he was under the protection of Li Jihe, Han Qing knew that the plan he had insisted on to stay away from the family of his former owner and his previous life circle was completely unworkable.
When the trouble on the Yongxing Military Road is resolved, he will definitely have to face the body's former owner's grandfather, cousins, and a large number of cousins, relatives, and friends.
Instead of racking your brains at that time to think of ways to explain where gunpowder and other things came from, it is better to give Li Jihe a preconceived impression now.
At that time, it will be much easier for him to explain if the old general unintentionally helps endorse it.
"You are a thoughtful child, and the imperial court failed you!" Li Jihe didn't know that Han Qing was paving the way for the future. After hearing his explanation, he sighed, "The temperament of officials is inherently a bit...
some……"
I wanted to express my apology to Han Qing on behalf of my nephew who was the emperor. However, when the words came to his lips, he finally swallowed them back with a sigh because of the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.
"The ancients said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books!" Han Qing originally didn't care much about the grievances suffered by the former owner of the body. He even thought that the original owner of the body was asking for trouble. Therefore, he laughed again.
Laughing, he added in a low voice, "I think that without this opportunity, it would be difficult for me to break away from the framework of Taixue. It would be even harder for me to lift my head from the books and see what the Song Dynasty is like! So, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
"
"Do you really think so?" Li Jihe was stunned for the third time, and then asked with a smile.
"Except when I'm wanted, I really think so at other times!" Han Qing hesitated for a moment and made slight adjustments decisively.
"You..." Li Jihe pointed at him and shook his head with a smile. Then he lowered his voice and discussed with a somewhat flattering attitude, "You also know that our Li family is a big family with many nephews. I arranged for Zhao
Liang and Zhaoxun learned their skills from you, but did not arrange for other nephews. It is inevitable that people will complain about favoring one and favoring others. If these are not your family skills, and you are willing to teach them to outsiders..."
"You can arrange for someone to come over and listen together. However, I can't guarantee how much you can learn!" Han Qing immediately took over and promised with a smile.
He knew that no matter how much he hid, he would still show something different to some extent.
To solve this problem, it is no longer enough to simply learn to be a Song Dynasty person. Therefore, the best auxiliary measure is to create more alternatives.
In this way, standing among a lot of alternatives, even if you look a little special in some places, it won't be too eye-catching.
In this way, no matter whether you continue to stay on Yongxing Military Road or return to Bianliang in the future, you will be able to live the peaceful life you expect.
He had thought this plan carefully. Once it was put into action, it would not change easily.
