Chapter 70 Only One Cup(1/2)
King Dingbei didn't understand why, so he sniffed it gently!
It doesn't matter if this smell is unheard of. A strong aroma of wine that has never smelled before hits his sky spirit cover, almost fainting. He quickly holds his head with his hands and gasps!
"This is......."
Seeing his appearance, Song Tianming was very satisfied.
This was something I had worked hard to get, 70% alcohol!
The wine that is dry is very low, and the inferior ones are even worse than beer!
The so-called big bowl of wine is actually no different from water.
And the water is so terrible!
Song Tianming was fed up with the destruction of these wines.
Therefore, even Dingbei King, who often drinks, can't withstand such powerful alcohol!
You have to smell it and take a sip to the ground!
After a while, King Dingbei recovered and asked with lingering fear: "What kind of wine is this? I have never seen such a strong wine!"
"This is a kind of wine that grass people accidentally brew. Most people will feel dizzy when drinking such a small cup, and they will fall down if they can't take a step.
So, I named him, smiled and half a step!"
"Smile half a step... Is it really so magical?"
Seeing that King Dingbei was still a little disbelief, Song Tianming poured him a small cup.
"This wine glass is specially made for this wine, and you can only drink this one every day.
One cup will pass, and the day will pass.”
"I'm saying so mysteriously, I want to try it!" After saying this, King Dingbei was immediately dissatisfied.
He has been traveling around the world for so many years and has drunk so much wine, but there has never been a glass of wine that can make him fall down!
But looking at Song Tianming's smiling expression, King Dingbei hesitated again.
Why do you feel like this guy is having a trap for us?
And, why did you come here today?
By the way, you need drawings!
It’s better to do the job first, and it’s not too late to drink...
He didn't realize that he was already a little cowardly at this moment.
Song Tianming saw through and said nothing, and laughed in his heart.
Dingbei King picked up the wine glass and put it down, coughing twice: "Cough cough, this, let's drink it later, let's talk about the main thing first!
I came here today, mainly for the sake of drawings.”
Seeing that King Dingbei finally got to the point, Song Tianming stopped making jokes and sat down.
"The drawings will naturally be given to the prince.
But I still have some questions to ask the prince, so please tell me the truth.”
"Speaking."
"First, I want to know how those crossbows work on the battlefield?"
King Dingbei pondered for a moment: "You really know, do you know? This military information is in Yanjing, and it is hard to buy a thousand gold."
Song Tianming smiled and said, "Isn't it worth it?"
“It’s so worth it.
Let me put it this way, no one of the 300 soldiers equipped with powerful crossbows has been injured and killed so far!
The barbarians who died at their hands have exceeded tens of thousands!"
When Song Tianming heard this number, he was also shocked.
In their hands, the powerful crossbows fought against several bandits and almost killed them!
As a result, when it comes to the hands of the regular army, killing brave barbarians is as simple as killing chickens!
Sure enough, the function of a weapon still depends on the ability of the person who takes the weapon.
"I understand, where is the poisonous smoke?"
"When it comes to poisonous smoke, this treasure has saved many soldiers' lives.
Do you know? We fight against the barbarians every year, and there are tens of thousands of brothers killed and injured.
Because what?
It is because the barbarian cavalry is too powerful.
The barbarians live on the grassland, and the grassland is full of horses.
We are located in the Central Plains region and have few horses, so their cavalry's combat effectiveness is much stronger than ours.
Once the cavalry charges, we have almost no ability to resist!
But poisonous smoke is different.
As soon as the poisonous smoke came out, the enemy's cavalry seemed to be blind, and they were completely headless flies running wildly inside.
It’s okay for people to hide, but the horse can only act impulsively based on its feelings.
As long as our soldiers cover their mouths and noses, they can drag the cavalry off their horses! If they dismount, they will be our world!
Not only that, we also captured a large number of war horses. The Dingbei Army can now form a cavalry team of ten thousand people!
All of this is your credit to Mr. Song!”
Song Tianming now deeply realized how great the role of advanced weapons on the battlefield is.
The strong crossbow and poisonous smoke almost changed the strength and weakness of both sides in an instant!
King Dingbei was shocked when he saw Song Tianming, and continued: "This is not the end. Once poisoned in poisonous smoke, it will cause huge riots in the enemy's army!
The barbarians do not have as strong medical skills as ours, so their soldiers can only heal themselves once they are poisoned and have no way to cure them.
Among the barbarian army now, there are wounded soldiers everywhere!
Many people died not on the battlefield, but in the midst of illness.
So during this period, the barbarian army has withdrawn from the grassland and dare not come to invade our border again. Daqian can get another precious opportunity to recuperate!
So Mr. Song, please accept me for a bow!
You are the hero of the big money soldiers!”
"The prince has been too rewarded and can share the worries of the people and the soldiers. That is my honor, Song Tianming, so how can I talk about the credit?"
This is really not Song Tianming's modestness.
Poisonous smoke and strong crossbows are just tools. The Dingbei Army, who can fully utilize these two tools, is truly admirable. They have formed an indestructible steel Great Wall with their lives.
Song Tianming was extremely impressed by these people.
"Apart from these gentlemen, is there anything else to ask?" King Dingbei continued to ask.
"There is another last question. The prince knows that when Qian Bojun is dead, the Qian family will not give up and will definitely come to take revenge on me.
And I also plan to develop my own business in Xiahe County.
But the Qian family in Xiahe County has been working hard for many years. If they want to obstruct me, I have no chance to show it.
I don't want to live a life where my life is controlled by others.
So is there any good way for the prince to help me get rid of such a dilemma?
"Mr. Song said so much. I was also worried about your problem when I was young.
So I can give you a very accurate answer, that is, the title."
What King Dingbei said was also what Song Tianming thought.
Song Tianming hurriedly asked, "How should he get the title?"
"It's very simple, military merit.
As long as you make military achievements on the battlefield, you can get a title.
Daqian established the country with martial arts and attached great importance to military merits.
Therefore, the military ranks have always been the most important force in the court!
However, as Daqian has been weak for a long time, he has become more dependent on civil servants and his attention to military merits has gradually decreased.
Among them, there are many civil servants who plunder and suppress the military's power.
Therefore, under the rule of His Majesty, he is very cautious about the issue of awarding titles.
Unless you make great contributions, such as the one who wins the barbarians, you may be granted a title of one official and half title.
