Daqin Engineers

#160-Chapter 160

This was unexpected but reasonable to Shen Bing.

Said it was unexpected, mainly because Shen Bing himself didn't feel much about the title system of military merit.

The reason is that Shen Bing believes that he has never really experienced the pain of being a subordinate from the beginning to the end, and he has never felt inferior, so there is no skin pain.

It is reasonable, but if you think about it from the perspective of a prisoner of the Wei army, your experience will be different:

Previously, he was not as good as a dog under the rule of Wei Wangjia, and there was no hope of turning over for a lifetime...

In fact, it's not just Wei State, but the other six countries are similar.

Just like the "food towns" mentioned earlier, those "food towns" other than the Qin country can almost completely control the people, and the people have no freedom at all, which is not the case in Qin's county system.

As for soldiers, although the Six Nations also have a service system, it is almost impossible to change their destiny through meritorious service.

But now they have this opportunity after becoming a member of the Qin State.

Especially in front of them there is a living example...Shen Bing was promoted from a nobleman to an official doctor and completed this kind of cross-class change in just a few months.

This is difficult, but at least possible.

There may be hope.

In such a comparison, you will only want to "recover the country" unless you are brainwashed.

What can we get after "recovering the country"?

Will Wei Wangjia be treated as a dog like before?

Will Wei Wang fakely feed the dog when he makes mistakes?

Isn't it a good thing to be a master in the Qin country?

Thinking of this level, Shen Bing's last bit of caution was let go.

If they were going in this direction, Shen Bing would have no reason to doubt their sincerity.

These Wei soldiers... to be exact, they were Qin soldiers. At this time, they changed not only a piece of clothing, but also the heart that was originally loyal to Wei.

So from this moment on, they were Qin Bing completely.

Shen Bing gave them a day's rest for them to tidy up their houses.

He and Wei Wei were in the school lieutenant camp to discuss the next training plan.

Wei Wei said:

"Subordinates thought I should train to build warships first!"

"Warships are the foundation of naval forces, and naval forces cannot be called naval forces without ships!"

"So the navy is first familiar with the structure and production of the warship."

Shen Bing nodded in agreement.

This is like modern tankers not only driving and controlling tanks, but also mastering the necessary tank-related knowledge to troubleshoot common faults in an emergency.

After thinking about it, Shen Bing asked again:

"What kind of warship did Captain Zuo think I should build?"

Xiaoli Zuo is Wei Wei's new official position, that is, Shen Bing's deputy.

This official position could not be more suitable for Wei Wei, an experienced general.

For example, Shen Bing has no idea about shipbuilding in this era.

Wei Wei was obviously prepared. He took out a roll of sheepskin from his arms and spread it out in front of Shen Bing, saying:

"Look at the lieutenant, this is the battleship of the Chu army."

"There is a baffle in the front, a ship shield, and a hanging rod on the side. The shield can be hung on the flanks to form a female wall, and soldiers can use this to fight the enemy!"

"I will be able to make a warship in this style!"

Shen Bing looked at the picture. It was a very simple boat. The highlight was that there was a baffle in the front and shields could be hung on both sides.In this way, it will neither increase self-respect but also attack and defend:

Shields were originally necessary equipment. They were hung on both sides of the warship to guard, and they could be disembarked and attacked after they were removed and held in their hands.

Shen Bing asked curiously:

"But I don't know how to control this ship?"

Wei Wei replied:

"There are five and twenty-five people on the ship."

"Two of them are paddling, one on the left and the other on the right."

"Yiwu guards the rudder at the back, two at the helm and three for cover."

"The other two armies fight."

Shen Bing understood this. There were only 25 people in the boat and 15 people in the boat. Only 10 people were fighting.

Since the Qin army and the Chu army had fought several times in the water network north of the beam, Shen Bing also listened to it, and knew that the water battle at this time was more with "crossbows and arrows."

That is, when the enemy and our warships are staggered and outdated, ten thousand arrows shoot each other to kill the target on the enemy ship... If the fight is more intense, it is to use a pallet to the enemy ship to rush and kill like infantry.

This water battle can be said to be extremely primitive and there are not many tactics at all. It can almost be said to be infantry on board.

Therefore, there is no sense of inconsistency for a general like Wei Wei who directs infantry to command a water battle.

From this point of view, it doesn’t even matter if you can swim, because whether you can swim or not, the probability of falling into the water in armor is very small.

Shen Bing didn't speak, he picked up the pen before the case and stared at the graph in a daze.

Originally, Wei Wei thought Shen Bing was going to annotate some words, but he didn't want Shen Bing to draw it on the picture...The picture looked like a wheel but with leaves, one in front and one in the back.

In fact, there should be four in the first two and two in the back, and the other side is hidden by the hull.

Wei Wei couldn't help but wonder:

"What did the school lieutenant paint?"

Shen Bing put down his pen and looked at the picture with satisfaction, and replied:

"This is the wheel warship!"

Wei Wei's face hesitated:

"Wheel of Warship? Why have my subordinates never heard of it."

"This thing... can be used in combat?"

Shen Bing replied:

"You can tell if you can fight."

He said holding the picture and walked outside.

This is not what Wei Wei can do, but it is time for Cang to play a role.

Engineer battalion.

Cang pretended to stroke his chin while looking at Shen Bing's sketches, and from time to time he glanced at Shen Bing.

After a while, he said:

"Brother, it's a little difficult to make this thing!"

"Why don't you let me...how many more days?"

Shen Bing could see what tricks Cang was playing at a glance, so he drew the sketch and said:

"That said, you can't make it?"

"Then I will ask someone else..."

Cang hurriedly said a few "Eh eh":

"Brother, don't worry."

"With my craftsman Shi Yunjin Xiao Luban here, shouldn't it be a joke to bother others?"

"Junior Brother will do it, it only takes two days to..."

Shen Bing glared at him:

"how long?"

Cang quickly stretched out a finger and said:

"One day, one day at most!"

Then he smiled and said:

"But elder brother, if I have merit in shipbuilding, would I be discretionary about joining the navy..."

Shen Bing nodded and agreed:

"As long as you learn to ride a horse!"

"At least you must learn how to ride a horse, otherwise the brother can't help you!"

Cang quickly answered:

"Thank you brother!"

"Cang must live up to his brother's expectations and make every effort to learn how to ride a horse!"

Although Cang said he was a bit annoying, he was a good hand at woodcraft.

As he said, the name "Little Luban, a stone craftsman transporting catties" was a nickname given to him by a carpenter. He said that he was able to use an axe like the craftsman named "Stone". The dust on the nose is shaved off.

Of course, Cang's woodwork level has not yet reached this point, but he is also the best among the craftsmen.
