Chapter 15 New Technology (1)
"There are fathers and sons living on the mountain. They are both woodcutters and make a living by selling firewood. The father's eyes are not very good and can't see clearly, but his skills in driving ox carts are first-class. His son's eyes are very good, but his skills in driving ox carts are not very good. Every time the father and son go to sell firewood, the father drives the carts and the son looks at the road. When passing a curve, the son will say, "Dad, turn." After hearing his son's words, the father drove the ox carts and turned.
"Once, my father was sick, and my son had to drive a ox cart to sell firewood alone. When passing the curve, the ox would never turn. What method do you think you should use to make the ox turn?" Li Jun was wearing a blue satin single dress, sitting on a bluestone strip, wiping the sweat on his forehead, and telling stories to the soldiers. When Li Jun was a model teacher, he often chatted with the soldiers and told stories. Seeing the soldiers' nervous and expectant faces, he seemed to have returned to that military career.
Gundam stood opposite Li Jun with his upper body naked, looking at Li Jun eagerly. There were several claw marks on his chest that were scratched when he was practicing with his soldiers. The sweat on his body looked like transparent pearls under the sunlight, crystal clear.
Wen Tianxiang was wearing a light court uniform, handsome and handsome, sitting on Li Jun's right, tilted his neck and looked at Li Jun, who was happily telling the story, with a look of doubt in his eyes.
Zhao Qian was wearing light armor, with his sword hanging around his left waist. He was already a tiger-back and bear-bear-waisted dress, which highlighted his might. Standing next to Gundam, he was looking at Li Jun with anticipation, hoping that Li Jun would give the answer.
Li Jun was friendly and had no emperor's son. He became familiar with the soldiers soon. The soldiers thought he was very intimate and were not afraid of him at all. They surrounded Li Jun three layers inside and three layers outside and listened to him telling stories.
"Blow with a big stick."
"Teat with grass."
"Catch the bull's nose and lead it over."
"Your Majesty, is it a mistake?"
Li Jun smiled and said, "My son has used your method long ago and it's useless. Think about it again, what else can I do?"
The anxious Gundam immediately said, "As far as I say, just carry the cow through the curve." He bulged his pectoral muscles with confidence, indicating that he had strength. He was tall and powerful, so it was not difficult to carry the cow over.
Wen Tianxiang immediately retorted: "General Gao, your son does not have the strength of you, so how can he carry it? Even if he can carry it, he will not carry the cattle, just carry the firewood."
The soldiers agreed and said, "Yes."
Gundam touched his forehead and said embarrassedly: "Lu Shan is right. If my son has the strength of me, would he still need to use a ox cart to pull firewood? It would be easier to carry it directly and sell it. Oh, Master, tell me quickly, how can you turn the corner? You are so angry that you are so anxious."
What Gundam said was exactly what Wen Tianxiang and his soldiers thought, and nodded in agreement: "Yes. Your Majesty, please tell me quickly."
Li Jun wiped his sweat and said, "Actually it's very simple. His son said softly to the bull's ear, 'Dad, it's a turn', and the bull pulled the cart and turned."
As soon as Li Jun finished speaking, he started to be quiet, and then a burst of hilarious sounds rang out. Gundam laughed loudly and shouted: "Master, you are so funny."
Not to mention those soldiers, they naturally laughed.
Even Wen Tianxiang, who has always been polite, couldn't help laughing, and thought while laughing. He really couldn't imagine that the gentle Li Jun had such a humorous side.
Zhao Qian covered his mouth and kept laughing. His opinion was similar to Wen Tianxiang, and he had a little more respect in addition to being funny. In the past few days, Li Jun has run to the army to inspect and guide the army's training. Li Jun has unique vision for the problems existing in the army and often hits the point, which makes people admire him from the bottom of his heart.
What Zhao Qian admired the most was that Li Jun seemed to know the army very well, as if he was not an emperor but a soldier with many years of military experience. Even a soldier with many years of military career was inferior to him. Of course, Zhao Qian didn't know what Li Jun was in another time and space, and didn't know that Li Jun was once a very outstanding soldier and was very familiar with the army.
Li Jun stood up and said, "You continue training, let's go to the military weapon supervisor to take a look."
The soldiers looked reluctant, and some soldiers said, "Your Majesty, you always come to our camp when you have time. It's so happy to talk to the emperor." His words were immediately approved by the other soldiers and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, come and see us when you have time."
In another time and space, since he took up the leadership position, Li Jun has always been a commander who is very popular among the soldiers. He knows the feelings of the soldiers very well and says, "I understand. I will definitely come to see you again when I have time. You must train well, kill more Mongolian soldiers, and serve the court."
"Abide by the order." The soldiers saluted under the leadership of the officers and saw Li Jun off.
Li Jun waved his hand and turned away. Wen Tianxiang and Zhao Qian followed quickly. Gundam bent over and grabbed the clothes on the ground, put them on as he walked, and said, "Hehe, I'll go and see what good things are hidden by those guys in the military weapon surveillance."
Li Jun asked with a smile: "You won't participate in the training?"
Gundam said with a smile: "It's more energetic to train when you get the good weapons."
Li Jun turned his head and looked at Gundam and said, "You are sure that military weapons have good weapons?"
"Of course. With the emperor here, can we still not have good weapons?" Gundam blurted out without thinking.

"Hang farther, and then farther, it's only seventy steps, too close. One hundred steps, no, you have to go farther. One hundred and twenty steps, by the way, okay, it's there. Hang it." With Li Jun's series of orders, two soldiers carrying the target ran forward desperately. Li Jun was finally satisfied, put the target and hung a pair of plate armor on the target.
"Your Majesty, can this work? This is one hundred and twenty steps. I have never seen a crossbow that can penetrate the plate armor outside of thirty steps, so it must not work. Your Majesty, are you teasing us?" Gundam, who was outspoken, didn't believe it at all, and spoke out his doubts in his heart. If the eyes could subvert the truth, the truth in the world would have subverted him.
Wen Tianxiang and Zhao Qian also didn't believe it. They had never heard of weapons that could shoot through plate armor at a hundred steps away, and they also looked at Li Jun in confusion like Gundam.
Li Jun walked to the steel crossbow, slid his right hand on the crossbow, and said, "I haven't tried it, how do you know it won't do it?" Li Jun carefully looked at the steel crossbow he designed. Its appearance was the shape of a European crossbow, absorbing the advantages of continuous shooting of Zhuge crossbow, and supplemented by the European crossbow loading device as a model. After his improved loading device, it seems that it should not be wrong.
The military weapon supervisor Huang Yongshan was wearing court uniforms and silver belts, standing quietly beside him, without saying anything, as if he hadn't heard what Gundam and Li Jun said. Li Jun had seen his appearance, thinking that you must have tried it secretly, and he pretended to be invisible if he didn't know anything, thinking I didn't know what you did. For your military weapon supervisor, if you don't try the weapons you made first, would you dare to ask the emperor to see it?
Li Jun, who is as clear as a mirror, did not say it out loud, and said to Huang Yongshan: "Call them to start."
