Chapter 16 Return Gun

Looking at being beaten up again, Shi Min, a soldier of Zhao army, had to retreat and look very dignified in the watchtower.
Seeing that the cold war has entered a protracted war, Zhao is not unable to fight Shi Min, but the price that Shi Min does not want to pay for this protracted war.
Shi Hu is now insane. He weakened the luck of the Han family, enslaved the Han people in large quantities, and built palaces and gardens. It was extravagant! Not to mention the cold war, he also mobilized 300 thousand civilian workers back and forth! It’s Han Er inside!
It is conceivable that every month, thousands of NINEONE Ji Qingzhuang are overwhelmed and fall on the heavy road of transporting grain and grass, or die from hard labor.
We must end the cold war as soon as possible!
"Order the troops to stop attacking!"
"promise!"
As a last resort, Shi Min can suspend the offensive against Lixuan City and surround it without attacking it before he comes up with countermeasures.
Then Shi Min brought together the army craftsmen and some lux.
What does Shi Min want to do?
Return the gun! Yes, Shi Min wants to build a return gun!
Although Shi Min was not a science student in his previous life, he has studied history and read through arts and sciences. He is no stranger to the catapult, the peak of the cold weapon era!
The principle of the trebuchet is that one lever has a shell at one end, and the other end is pulled by human rope force to convert human energy into the projectile through the lever.
There are many varieties of this kind of gun. In The General Introduction to the Martial Classics, there are more than a dozen different types of guns, including single-shot guns, double-shot guns, five-shot guns, seven-shot guns, tiger-crouching guns, column-belly guns, cyclone guns, combined guns, sleeping guns, car guns, moving guns and so on.
The difference between these guns lies in the way and ability. The most important thing is the seven-shot gun. It is said that more than 200 people pull the rope at one end at the same time to pass their own energy to the shells, which can throw 9100 kilograms of stone shells with great power.
These different guns and shells should be designed and produced in a unified way, and their range and power can be fixed, which will greatly enhance the combat capability of the army.
The recoil gun further facilitates the transfer of gravitational potential energy to the shell through the lever after the lever is accelerated, that is, a very heavy counterweight, such as a large frame stone or a large piece of iron, is placed at the other end of the lever.
When firing a cannonball, put the counterweight into the counterweight in the form of human or animal gravity potential energy, and then suddenly drop the counterweight gravity potential energy to the cannonball with the help of a lever, so that the cannonball will be even more powerful. It is said that the return gun can fire 15 pounds of stone shells and smash the wall out of the hole to the left. This kind of thing is the peak form of cold weapons for attacking and defending cities in ancient wars.
"boomed! ….. "The improved trebuchet is really powerful.
Three days later, the gun was built, and the first experiment smashed a wall with the thickness of Lixuan City wall!
"good! Ok! Ha ha ha! " Shi Min smiled from ear to ear.
The generals present congratulated each other and celebrated each other.
With this siege weapon, are you worried that you can’t step over Lixuan City? !
In a few days, Zhao transferred manpower and material resources to build a hundred return guns.
At the same time, the Eastern Jin court in Jiankang was discussing the Western Expedition of Zhao.
Now Sima Yue is the head of the Eastern Jin court, and Sima Yan, the former Jin emperor, died last year.
Sima Yan died in Xitang at the age of 22. posthumous title became the Emperor’s Temple and Xianzong was buried in Jilong Mountain, Jiangning County, Jiangsu Province, Ping Ling.
It is worth noting that the life expectancy of Jin emperors is generally short since the southern crossing of Jin Dynasty, and many people died young.
Si Marui, Emperor of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, was only 47 years old when he died in his six-year reign. Si Mashao, the Jin Emperor, died at the age of 27 when he was in power for four years, and Sima Yan, the former emperor, was in power for one year, but he was only 22 when he succeeded to the throne at the age of five!
As the saying goes, there are so many ministers because Sima’s family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was young and succeeded to the throne.
The fourth emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was the same as the Jin Emperor Si Mashao, the second Jin Emperor Sima Yan, and the mother, brother and mother, Mu Queen Yu Wenjun.
Sima Yue was granted the title of Queen Wu after his brother Jin Chengdi succeeded to the throne, and changed it to post the evil king, riding a regular servant, a general in title of generals in ancient times, a middle servant and Stuart.
In 342, Emperor Jincheng was seriously ill. Yu Bing and others suggested abandoning his second brother Sima Yue, the heir to the throne. In the same year, Emperor Jincheng died and Sima Yue succeeded to the throne.
At this time, Sima Yue is in mourning and can’t say anything about entrusting Yu Bing and filling the government.
"Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!" Long live Sima Yue’s ministers who are sitting high in the dragon chair.
"Everyone stands upright!"
"thank you!"
At this time, I waited on the side of the platform and screamed and shouted, "I have something to start and retreat!"
Taken the ice out first.
Yu Bingzi Ji Jian Ying Chuan Yanling Today, the people of Yanling, Henan Province, are the prime ministers, the army, and the soldiers, Yu Chen, and the general of Zheng Xi, Yu Liangdi.
At the beginning of Wang Dao, the governor of Situ Prefecture moved to Wu State to pacify Su Jun’s rebellion. After the death of Prime Minister Wang Dao, Yu Bing worshipped Zhong Jian, and Yangzhou secretariat made the Emperor Jincheng be located in his younger brother Sima Yue to consolidate Yu’s power.
After Sima Yue acceded to the throne, he worshipped General Yu on ice and rode out of Zhenjiang Prefecture for the secretariat holiday, guarding Wuchang.
It is a great contribution for Sima Yue to be the emperor Yu Bing.
In May of 342, Emperor Jin became unwell.
On the fifth day of June, Emperor Jincheng’s illness worsened.
At that time, Emperor Jin’s two sons, Sima Pi and Sima Yi, were still in infancy. Because his brother had been in charge of the government for a long time, he was afraid that his emperor’s relatives would become more alienated after the emperor was replaced, so he was often persuaded by others that there were strong enemies outside the country. He should make an old king and asked Emperor Jin to appoint an heir to the throne of Sima Yue, so he summoned an heir to the throne of Sima Yue.
Later, Emperor Jincheng ordered Sima Yi, King of Wuling, Sima Yu, King of Huiji, Yu Bing, Zhong Lingchong and Shang Linghui to accept the testamentary edict to assist Sima Yue.
"I have something to start!"
"Go ahead."
Sima Cheng Sima Yue is a female sibling whose mother is Yu Bingmei, so Yu Bing is the emperor’s uncle Sima Yue respects him very much.
"Urgent report from Liangzhou!"
Yu Bingsu said, "Since the year of Xiankang, when Jie Zhao entered Qiu Lai, successive offensives against Liangzhou were all resolved by Liangzhou Army. However, this time, General Shi Min of Shi Hu mobilized 200,000 to 300,000 troops back and forth, and hundreds of thousands of civilian workers intended to occupy Helong and unify the north!"
"Now there are ten states in Zhao, occupying a million people in the fertile area of the Central Plains! Its national potential is comparable to that of the other countries. If the State of Zhao attacks and destroys Liangzhou, according to the western regions outside the Yumen River, its country is bound to rise to a higher level! At that time, Zhao Qiang is afraid of sweeping the sky! "
Hearing this, Sima Yue frowned and said, "Do you mean to send troops to reinforce Liangzhou in Yuzhong?"
Liangzhou Jin State is separated by a huge Zhao State, Wan Li, and Mo Ye.
Taken ice immediately said, "It’s a great power for Zhao to attack and destroy Liangzhou and occupy Helong today! His country’s virtual ministers invited them to send a strong force to the northern expedition to Jie Zhao, so that Zhao could not take care of both the beginning and the end, so Shi Hu withdrew the cool Zhao army! "
"Start the northern expedition? This ….. "SiMaYue some hesitation.
Sima Yue ascended the throne for only one year, but his prestige was not very high. Although he was not a puppet emperor, it was not for him to decide such a thing as a sudden departure from the Northern Expedition.
If Sima Yue can act arbitrarily by himself, there is no need to call the great court to consult the ministers and workers.
The fact is that Jin emperors have never owned Jin emperors’ belonging to the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Even Si Marui, the first emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was supported by Jiangdong aristocratic families. Without the full support of these gate valves, Jinshi did not even have a foothold in Jiangdong!
Several northern expeditions in Jinshi failed and ended?
It’s not that the army of Jin is not strong enough, that the soldiers are not brave enough and that the generals are not good enough, but that Jin lacks the most basic cohesion!
Mastering the Jin clan is a southern aristocratic family. On the one hand, they want to keep their own power, on the other hand, they want to gain more power.
It is said that the southern gentry did not support the Northern Expedition and advocated partiality, because they knew very well that once Jinshi was restored to the Central Plains, the center of gravity of the whole country would return to the north, and their handle would be weakened.
Is the northern government army of Jin powerful?
