13. Gao Qihou is in prison
When Gao Yue hurried into Yasan, he saw the princess' figure kneeling behind the inner door. Several women were urging and scolding something, and he could still hear the princess' faint crying.
Gao Yue, who was confused, opened the door and saw the princess wearing a white feathered dress, her hair was scattered, covering both sides of the snow cheeks, her hands and shoulders were pressed, and she said sarcastically, begging you to let me go.
But these women are clearly her maids.
When he saw Gao Yue coming, the princess' maids shouted in unison: "Da Yin is here, please stop the prison!"
"Hmm?" Gao Yue was a little surprised.
What phenomenon is this, or what kind of game?
The princess was in tears and said, "I would like to ask Dayin to avenge me."
At this time, a strong maid brought a delicate Hu bed and asked Gao Yue to sit down. The princess continued to lie on the ground, stretched out her hand, touched Gao Yue's boots, and the whine mixed with charming sounds, calling endlessly.
Gao Yue was a little numb by her touch. On a whim, he cleared his throat and asked the master what crime was being detained?
The other two maids said in a manner that I, Tang Lufa, monks, nuns, and men and women, should not ride horses. This master's name is Lingxu, and he openly rides a horse around the city. Now he has been arrested by us and other bad people. Please ask the Dayin to stop the prison and send him a speech.
"You actually dare to ride a horse, what kind of horse do you ride?"
The princess cried and replied, "It's riding a lot of snow." As she said that, her eyebrows and eyes were covered with tears, and she even teased her from time to time.
"Da Lixue is Ben Yin's mount, and you can ride it. Isn't it a two crime to be concurrent?" Gao Yue said angrily, "Would there be a prosecutor here? What crime should he be punished?"
The one who brought Hu Sou immediately brought the role of "shogunate provocateur". After thinking about it, he replied: "You should whip it ten times, and Dayin will do it yourself." After that, bamboo junctions were delivered to Gao Yue.
The princess's feathered garment was untied and removed from both sides, revealing her two round and white shoulders, and her backhand and waist were tied up. She was really "threatening torture". Several thin belts of underwear were scattered on her back, slightly slimly streaked with plump flesh marks.
"This is really going to be a fight..." Gao Yue held the bamboo joints and thought.
However, Gao Yue's hands still surpassed rational thinking. With a "bang", the princess's hair bun could thrust, making a wet and muffled groan. The smooth back had a red line, like a small snake parading in the snow.
After continuing to fight three times, the princess begged for forgiveness and said that Dayin should not fight again. If he continues, he will "kill me for life and death". She also said that she is willing to repay the crime and can accept any request of Dayin to be a cow or a horse.
"How to deal with the crime?" Gao Yue felt a ball of fire in his lower abdomen, and it rose to his throat.
"I would like to sing a song for the Great Yin." Lingxu turned his face and bit his lips. The red tongue tip was slightly exposed, and he asked pitifully.
Soon, a row of maids lowered their heads, withdrew from Yashe, and lowered their curtains.
Gao Yue's figure was cast on the curtain gauze. He stood up from the bed, while the princess's shadow shrank even smaller. She still cut her hands back and walked obediently to Gao Yue's shadow. Then her lips opened and overlapped with the shadow opposite. In a short while, there seemed to be a shakuhachi sound, filling the entire small room...
After listening to Yiyang's suggestion, Lingxu's battle was indeed a great victory. He stayed with Xingyuanyin for two nights. Finally, Gao Yue was afraid that the emperor would send a central official to the post station along the road to check his itinerary, and then "escape" on the third day.
At the end of autumn, Xifan actually mobilized 80,000 troops in the southwest and launched a counterattack against Tang and Nanzhao along the line of Nangongchuan.
This counterattack was actually more like Chisong Dezan's behavior of finding a place under incompetence and furiousness.
Wei Gao laughed when he heard the front line information and said, "The Western Boundary is declining. If Gao Yisong comes to help this time, he will definitely return without success." Then Wei Gao ordered Wang Youdao to lead 10,000 troops to defend Qiong, Ya, and asked Cao Liangjin to lead 10,000 troops to defend Xishan. Then he ordered Wu Dao to bring 5,000 troops and the same number of Eastern Barbarians to come to the city, and rush to help Kunming City - Nanzhao. Ma Dingde's surrendered French also sent troops to support him. When Wei Gao personally led 5,000 generals of Fengyi army to come to Kunming City, all the troops and horses of Xifan had retreated. Wei Gao ordered the cavalry to pursue the snow, and killed more than 2,000 troops at the head of the foreign soldiers, and sealed Jingguan on the edge of the Nanggong River and returned triumphantly.
After returning to the capital of Shu, Wei Gao ordered the same situation outside the city to purchase copper and iron and sulfur from Xingyuan, Fengxiang and Dongchuan, and began to build large-scale guns and cannons in Xichuan. He was ready to launch a large-scale counterattack against Xifan according to the situation.
In the original place of Dachang, Qingzhou City, Su Bian had already started to use all the refining and marching furnaces that had already existed. Master Mingxuan also led his disciples to this point and began to build a casting fort with the gunners and forgingmen of the Dingwu Army, such as Zhang Baobaisan and his son.
The casting turret has cigarette holes and ladders, and the cannon mold is made of fir mixed with nanmu. Then it is constantly flipped on the built "rotto", painted with yellow mud, wool, fine sand, etc., and flocked it with iron bars, baked it repeatedly with charcoal fire to make the wood mold, leaving the so-called "model"; re-created iron is a mold core, where the thickness of the mold core is one-half of the diameter of the gun, leaving an iron clamp at the head of the mold core, and lift it with special lifting equipment, and stuff it into the gun mold, fix it with iron pinch (an iron frame, or cross or triangle), and then hang it into the vertical shaft of the casting turret.
Next to the casting turret is the "copper melting furnace". The Qiang slaves used a large amount of firewood under it, mixed lard and butter, stuffed it into the stove to burn. The craftsmen covered their faces and poured copper ingots on it, mixed with appropriate tin to release copper juice, and repeatedly and carefully poured into the cannon mold in the shaft until it was formed.
To put it bluntly, the model package is the outer wall of the copper cannon, while the outer core of the die is the inner wall of the copper cannon. After casting, it is lifted out of the casting turret, remove the mud mold, and clean and process the cannon chamber, etc.
In this way, a ten-stone siege cannon was completed.
The general manufacturing cycle is one month. There are four large casting turrets here in Qingzhou. Each can cast four doors at the same time. Thirty-two doors can be completed within two months.
The casting cannon is a huge military project. Just the specific technical process is combined with the craftsmen from Xingyuan, Fengxiang Kuofang, and the Jingji, Hezhong and Hedong. There are more than a thousand people, and there are also seven thousand Qiang slaves responsible for assisting and bottoming: chopping wood, rough woodworking, hemp rope, rubbing medicine twists, etc.
Of course, under Gao Yue's interference, the treatment of Qiang slaves has improved considerably. There were nearly 30,000 slaves from the six governments in Dongshan, Xingyuan and Fengxiang. Gao Yue asked Wei Ping to register them all, so that the Qiang slaves had "household registration". If they had specialties such as forging weapons, grazing livestock, weaving cloth, etc., they were "invested households"; if they lacked technology and could only do some junior work, they were "determined users" - whether they were invested households or fixed users, they had food, clothing, and other materials, but they were not allocated for land. Now their roles were more similar to skilled workers and cheap workers, and they were concentrated in workshops and their personal rights belonged to Xingyuan Military Mansion.
Even so, there were still voices in the capital slander Gao Yue, which made him very angry.
Chapter completed!
