Peerless Pirates

Chapter 440 Forging Weapons

Early the next morning, Song Zheng came to the adjacent Ganzi Camp. He wanted to say hello to Yao Yukun, but he didn't expect that Yao Yukun had already left yesterday afternoon (read the full text of Xian Shou).

The eight thousand-household commanders of the Forbidden Army all have their families in Jinling City and generally do not spend the night in the camp. Among the eight commanders, two will lead the army to protect the palace every day, leaving one to guard the camp. The remaining five are in their own Jinling City. At home, even during the day, except for some unexpected military matters, they are generally not in the camp. As for Hu Yande and Tong Bing, they come to the camp even less frequently.

Looking for Yao Yukun but not meeting him, Song Zheng asked Qin Shan to lead him to a unique courtyard on the west side of the camp. This is the arsenal of the Forbidden Army. According to Yao Yukun's introduction, this place is guarded by two eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, one is One is named Shui, the other is named Lan, and they are assigned ten servants.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Song Zheng heard shouting coming from the house. There were two very high-pitched voices in the middle, mixed with a crunching sound. This kind of sound was too familiar, it was the sound of throwing dice and gambling. Song Zheng shook his head. Gambling was very popular in the Forbidden Army, and even the eunuchs were not exempt from it.

Pushing open the door, Song Zheng saw a group of people gathered together. Two of them, one fat and one thin, were both wearing round-neck soap coats and were sitting on chairs. There were several tables next to them, with two exquisite warmers on them. The rest of the people were all dressed in blue shorts and had no seats. They were all bowing and looking at the porcelain bowl in the middle of the table. There were three dice in it, which had just stopped spinning.

"One, four, five, you bastard, you can't be a monkey, throw again!" The fat eunuch cursed and spit out a mouthful of peanut skin.

Seeing someone coming in, the fat eunuch glanced at it, ignored it, and continued shouting, "Hurry up, try again!"

As soon as Qin Shan stepped forward, Song Zheng stopped him and said with a smile, "How about letting Song also play a game?"

"Who are you?" The thin eunuch didn't even raise his head, he just stared at the dice, holding a piece of broken silver in his hand, and kept tapping the table.

Qin Shan's expression turned ugly. The guards were also involved in the gambling game where he was caught yesterday, and Qin Shan was thinking of showing off. Now that Song Zheng was being treated coldly, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Song Zheng shook his head at him and said loudly, "Brother, I'm new here. I want to come over and pick out a weapon. I don't want to hear the wonderful noise coming from this room. Brother, I'm feeling itchy, so I came here to join in the fun."

At this time, everyone stopped and looked back at Song Zheng. Song Zheng was not wearing a commander's uniform, but was dressed in a scholar's attire. Qin Shan was also wearing military casual clothes. Naturally, everyone did not know Song Zheng's identity.

The fat eunuch seemed to have just recognized Qin Shan and said with a smile, "Who is it? It turns out to be Captain Qin. Is the guy next to you new here? Welcome! Welcome!" However, he still sat motionless on the chair. .

Qin Shan snorted coldly and said nothing, but he was happy in his heart. These eunuchs belong to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and are not under the jurisdiction of the Forbidden Army. And handing over the arsenal to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for management is also a means for the Daqi royal family to monitor the Forbidden Army. It is not that this This method is ineffective, but there is not much oil and water in the arsenal of the Forbidden Army. The reason is that the weapons of the Forbidden Army are almost not consumed, and very few losses are reported. New weapons cannot be added, so the two eunuchs naturally have no extra income. In addition, their lives are boring, these All the eunuchs had bad tempers, so they could only entertain themselves by throwing dice. The two eunuchs naturally couldn't get enough of gambling, so they had to find some handymen to fill the bill, and they still gambled for a small amount of twenty or thirty cents.

Song Zheng glanced at the few silver coins on the table and knew that the two eunuchs were doing it purely for fun. He smiled and took out one of his hundred taels of silver notes, shaking it back and forth in his hand.

The two eunuchs were stunned at first, then overjoyed, and stood up in a hurry. The fat eunuch waved his hand, "All of you, get down!" Upon hearing this, the servants had no choice but to put away the broken silver and copper plates in front of them, and reluctantly

After leaving the door, they looked at Song Zheng with a lot of evil eyes, as if they were complaining that Song Zheng ruined their gambling fun (Latest Chapter of Mortal God Cultivation Technique).

Qin Shan pulled a chair from the side and put it in front of the table. The two eunuchs were surprised. Qin Shan was the guard captain of the Zhenzi Team, and the two eunuchs knew each other. If Qin Shan could serve him like this, how could this young man in front of him

His identity is obvious.

The two looked at each other and raised their hands together, "Shui Ding (Lan Xiangming) meets General Song!"

"Easy to say, easy to say." Song Zheng secretly thought that the two of them were smart, so he smiled and sat in front of the table. He looked at the money in front of them, shook his head, put the money back into his arms, and turned around and said, "Qin Shan

, give me two taels of silver to use."

Qin Shan quickly took out an ingot of five taels of silver from his pocket and placed it respectfully in front of Song Zheng.

"Master Zhuangyuan, please tell me if you have anything to say." The thin eunuch Shuiding asked cautiously as he was unsure of Song Zheng's meaning. Apparently, he was focused on the dice just now and did not hear clearly what Song Zheng said just now.

"It's okay! It's okay! Let's play a few games first. I'll find a weapon later! Come on! Mr. Shui, you were in charge just now, you invite me first! I'll pledge two taels of silver to you." Song Zheng spoke very easy-going. The two eunuchs were already there.

They were in high spirits, and what Song Zheng took out was silver, which was much better than those handymen, so the two of them were not happy with it.

Shui Ding threw a handful of two points, and Song Zheng lost the silver. He immediately threw five taels of silver ingots to Shui Ding and pulled three small silver ingots of one tael in front of him.

Seeing Song Zheng on the road, the two of them were even more happy. Lan Xiangming grabbed the dice and looked at Song Zheng.

"Two taels, bet big." Song Zheng pushed out two silver ingots.

"Okay!" Lan Xiangming spit into the palm of his hand, rubbed it, and twisted the mouth of the bowl hard, and the three dice fell into the bowl.

"Three o'clock, little one!" Lan Xiangming smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits. Song

Song Zheng pushed the two small ingots of silver to Lan Xiangming (download the txt version of Gu Wu Yi Shi Xing). Lan Xiangming was even happier, "Thank you, General Song. I express my gratitude."

Song Zheng smoothed his sleeves and said, "It's my turn! Haha, you two father-in-laws, hurry up and place your bets!"

"You are a general. How can I compare with you? I'll bet one or two first. The champion will take the lead!" The fat eunuch made a pun and shook his head proudly. Shui Ding also followed suit and the two of them played one or two.

They are all bets.

Song Zheng didn't want to mess with them, so he rolled three red dots.

"The number one scholar is indeed very lucky!" The thin eunuch smiled and pushed a small ingot of silver over. The fat eunuch's face twitched and he also pushed past a small ingot of silver.

Song Zheng made a haha, and then started throwing. Then, the faces of the two eunuchs became more and more ugly. After Song Zheng threw eight leopards, the thin eunuch still had one tael left in front of him, but the fat eunuch lost everything.

The two of them were sweating profusely, and their bodies were almost lying on the table. Lan Xiangming even picked up the dice twice and carefully checked whether there was anything fishy. But the dice belonged to them. Authentic horn dice, how could they be fake?

.

"Eunuch Lan, do you still have any money? How about I lend you ten taels?"

Just as the fat eunuch was about to answer, Shuiding Queruo smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the number one scholar is a master, so we are resigned to being defeated." Lan Xiangming pouted and did not speak. He knew that if he continued to gamble, he would lose even more.

many.

Song Zheng smiled, collected all the money, turned around and handed it to Qin Shan, "The two father-in-laws rewarded me, go back and buy wine for the brothers!"

Qin Shan was stunned and was about to give in, but Song Zheng gave him a wink. Qin Shan quickly took the silver and put it in his arms. Shui Ding was better, but Lan Xiangming looked at it dryly, with a look of pity.

.

"My two father-in-laws, since you don't want to play anymore, could you please take me to find a weapon?"

The two had no choice but to stand up and said, "General Song, please come over here (the latest chapter of Cultivation of Immortality: How to Survive)!"

The two led the way out of the house. Song Zheng followed the two around to the back of the house and stopped in front of a stone house. Lan Xiangming took out the key and opened the door, "General Song, the weapons are all inside, you can go in and choose as you like!"

"

Song Zheng nodded, "You two father-in-law, please introduce me to me. I know it well. Qin Shan, you are waiting outside."

Qin Shan stood at the side of the door. Shui and Lan reluctantly followed Song Zheng into the warehouse.

The warehouse occupies five large rooms, all made of thick stones, with doors in the middle. Various weapons are placed on shelves in categories. Most of them are swords and guns, and there are also yellow axes, door halberds, etc., which I think were used when the emperor was traveling.

Required. According to Song Zheng's knowledge, the Imperial City Division within the palace also has an arsenal, which stores some of the ceremonial guards used by the royal family when traveling, including weapons such as halberds and halberds. Unexpectedly, some of them are also placed here.

In fact, there is not much to introduce. Most of the swords and guns are standard, there are only a few twenty or thirty pieces, and they are heavier in weight.

Song Zheng was not in a hurry and kept listening with a smile. Although the two of them secretly scolded Song Zheng for being a country bumpkin, they did not dare to be too negligent.

After walking to the farthest room, Shui Ding said, "General Song, I wonder what weapon you want to choose?"

Song Zheng smiled and said, "There are no weapons here that I like. I want to build one myself." After saying that, Song Zheng took out two hundred-tael silver notes from his arms and handed them to the two of them.

The two eunuchs were startled, "Master Zhuangyuan, why is this?"

"This is to trouble my two father-in-laws. It was inconvenient to be in the house just now. There is no one else here, so please take care of your father-in-law!"

"How can this be so embarrassing?" Lan Xiangming's smile turned into a flower, and he stretched out his hand to take the silver. Shui Ding did not accept it, but whispered, "I don't know what the number one scholar wants.

of?"

Song Zheng secretly praised this man's calmness, and took out a piece of paper with the pattern of the Coiling Dragon Sword Stick that he had drawn last night. He pointed at the pattern with one hand and introduced, "This is a disguised version of the Coiling Dragon Sword Stick. The whole stick is

It is six feet long and divided into two parts. The longer one is three and a half feet long and two feet thick.

inch. The short section is two feet, one end is one inch and six cents thick, and the other end is pointed. The two sections are connected by a steel chain. Among them, the long section is hollow at the inner end, which can hold the short section

To put it in, you need an iron screw cap at the top with threads carved out..."

The difficulty with this weapon is that in order to fit the short section into the long section, the long end needs to be hollow. After putting the iron chain and the short section in, and screwing on the lid, it becomes just like a short stick.

.Once the battle begins, unscrew the lid and throw the long part out to meet the enemy. The key here is the thread on the lid and the inner wall of the hollow end, just like a nut.

Song Zheng knew that in this era, it was impossible to make something similar to the rifling of a gun barrel. The thread Song Zheng needed was just to draw lines on the top of the hollow.

After pointing out a few key points, both eunuchs understood it. Shuiding thought for a while and then said, "General Song, looking at this style, I can do it, but I'm not sure whether it will suit the general's wishes."

Okay. In addition, here is another suggestion. You might as well carve a groove into the hollow part of the long part. The length of the groove is

Half, four points wide, with one section short enough to be pointed and slender. The threads on it are engraved two inches below the thick end. In this case, there is no need for a cover. Most of the short section can be passed through the long section.

groove and slide into the hollow tube. The chain can be longer, with one end connected to the short section and the other end at the bottom of the empty tube."

Song Zheng thought for a while and understood what Shui Ding meant. Due to the limitation of the chain length, it was impossible to take the short section out of the "empty tube". Song Zheng had no choice but to put the short section in upside down.

The idea of ​​adding a lid and the suggestion of water grooves appropriately solve this problem without the burden of a lid.

Immediately, Song Zheng took out another two hundred taels of silver and told the two of them to handle the matter well.
