Chapter 972 Sweaty BMW
After distributing the gifts, the children finally let Mi Zhu go and ran aside to play.
Fortunately, Yu'er and the others have not grown up yet, otherwise these naughty kids would be more lively.
"Zi Zhong, next time I come, I don't have to bring any more gifts."
Zhang Chunhua watched them play a little crazy.
"It's nothing, children like it, it's more important than anything else."
Mi Zhu smiled and said, "In a while, I will have to move to Chang'an. The Western Regions are basically stable. If you have any questions, you can leave them to the people below to do so. In the future, we will take care of each other in Chang'an."
Shu'er ran over and asked in surprise: "Uncle, is it really?"
Mi Zhu nodded and said, "Of course it's true."
Shu'er laughed happily, and then played with Ru'er.
This girl was very quiet at the beginning, but she became more and more lively as she grew up.
"You guys slow down!"
Mi Zhen has to remind him.
Chen Yang looked at them with a happy face and said, "Zi Zhong, come into the house quickly. You have been here for so long and have been standing outside. Don't remind me, Lao Fang has prepared tea."
Because of Mi Zhu's arrival, there was a little more lively atmosphere in this somewhat empty palace in Chang'an.
Chen Yang and the others already lived in the palace. Anyway, there are ready-made palaces and houses here. They can be used normally after simply repairing them. There is no need to build another mansion or requisition other people's mansions.
In the future, he will have to move in sooner or later.
Time was fast, and several more days passed.
The Dayuan war horses prepared by Mi Zhu were also sent from the Western Regions. They were not the three thousand horses they said at the beginning, but he brought five thousand horses over.
All the war horses were already tall and majestic in the military camp in Chang'an, and they could not blink.
It’s okay for Guan Yu to have the Red Rabbit Horse. Like Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and even Zhao Yun, there are still no decent war horses, and they are all very excited at this moment.
"Lord, can we want one of these horses?"
Ye Shun couldn't help asking first.
"I want one too, but this is used to form a cavalry. If one team is missing, it will be incomplete. Let's forget it."
Wen Pin said expectantly that he soon overturned his thoughts.
"I'm ready for your war horses. Zizhong, please let me take them out."
Chen Yang knew that they wanted it too, so why didn’t they prepare in advance?
Mi Zhu smiled and clapped his hands, and some soldiers showed up in front of them, pulling taller war horses.
"Master, are all these for us?"
Huang Zhong looked at the horse in front of him in surprise. He was so old that he had never seen such a tall and handsome war horse in the years he had been in the army.
"That's right, you can just divide it. This is Dayuan's sweat-blooded BMW, which is even more precious than ordinary ones."
Chen Yang briefly introduced it.
Wei Yan first touched the horse. The horse must have just run. His hands were covered in red sweat and exclaimed: "This sweat is red, it's really a sweat-blooded BMW. This is amazing. If it doesn't work, I have to try it first."
Now the saddle and other things have not been hung, but Wei Yan can't take care of that much. His riding skills are also good. He turns on the horse and runs as soon as he lifts the reins.
The sweat-blooded BMW is indeed not comparable to an ordinary horse. It runs so fast that everyone can only see a series of shadows.
"I don't know who is better than my Red Rabbit Horse."
Guan Yu said in admiration.
"The red rabbit horse that has long clouds is also a famous horse, so there is absolutely no need to be missed by these horses."
Chen Yang said: "I saw that Yunchang had a Red Rabbit, so I didn't prepare another sweat-blooded BMW. If you need it, you can ask me, so I can't get it at any time."
Guan Yu shook his head and said, "It's enough that my lord took me from Lu Bu and gave me. I don't dare to think about it anymore."
After a while, Wei Yan, who went to test the horse, finally came back. He tied the reins, and the speed was too fast. He had no saddle or stirrup, and almost fell off the horse's back. He said excitedly: "It's great, the sweat-blooded BMW is really great."
"Thank you for giving the horse!"
They said in unison again.
"Thank you, I'm useless. This is Zi Zhong gave to you. I don't need a copper plate."
As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, they all laughed happily and had to say the words of thanks to Mi Zhu.
"I don't have many anything in the Western Regions, but there are more war horses. Not to mention these sweat-blooded BMWs, I can get more."
Mi Zhu said confidently.
After trying all the horses, they first put saddles on the horses and nailed iron hooves to allow them to adapt for a while before they can go to the battlefield.
Then, they happily returned to Chang'an.
However, Chen Yang did not go back with them, and first walked to the weapons factory. The people inside were working hard to produce crossbows, firearms and other things.
"Master, you are here!"
As soon as Ma Jun raised his head, he saw Chen Yang coming over.
"Take me to see how our new weapon is doing."
Chen Yang said.
Soon, they came further north of the factory, where a huge furnace was burning with coal below, and molten steel was pouring out continuously.
Those steel blocks will slowly form and will eventually be made into weapons.
This is the place where steelmaking is made. There is a coal mine in the north of Chang'an, so Chen Yang excavated it and then purchased iron ore from the Western Regions through Mizhu, and came here to smelter weapons.
He wants to compete for the world and does not have enough advantages, so he starts from the weapons aspect.
After walking inside, Ma Jun asked someone to bring a freshly forged long knife and raised his hands to Chen Yang.
When he took it over and saw that Chen Yang found that the knife was quite heavy and met his requirements.
"Come on other weapons, I'm going to try the sharpness."
Chen Yang said loudly.
Soon someone brought an ordinary long knife and placed it in front of him.
Chen Yang raised his hand and slashed towards the ordinary long sword.
clang!
A crisp sound rang out, and the ordinary knife broke directly.
Looking at the steel knife again, there is not even a gap, it is very hard and sharp.
Chen Yang nodded and said, "It's a good job. You can use these steels first to help Lao Wang and me build a sword separately, and then send someone to tell Zilong and others that if you need to build new weapons, you will come to you."
Ma Jun said again: "Lord, we have done the new artillery you mentioned, but we haven't tried it before, and I don't know if it works."
"It's almost done?"
Chen Yang's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Take me there and have a look."
In the northernmost part of the steel mill, there is a factory that is blocked by tall and thick walls, and ordinary people cannot enter.
Chen Yang followed Ma Jun here, and just went in and saw a tall cannon standing in front of him.
"Master, as you thought at the beginning, do it as small as possible, but with our current technology, we can't do it, so we can only do it in the big picture."
Ma Jun pointed at the cannon, which was even bigger than the previous Red Barbarian cannon.
This cannon, known as the Krupp cannon in later generations, was a German item. It was purchased in large quantities to resist foreign enemies during the late Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately it was defeated.
