The "high-quality weapons" Zhang Yuanwai mentioned certainly did not refer to things like bows and arrows, hand crossbows, and spears.
He meant firearms!
"It would be great to have a few cannons mounted on the Qiachuan Wharf Fortress." Zhang Yuanwai rubbed his hands with excitement on his face:
"Coupled with hundreds of eight fire gun soldiers, I can guarantee that the next time the bandits come, I won't need Brother Bai to take action at all. Brother, I can beat them until they run away."
Bai Yuan took out a fan, flicked it open, revealed the word "gentleman" and said with a smile: "Do you want a firearm?"
Zhang Yuanwai: "I want it, I want it very much."
Bai Yuan: "What I said about this matter does not count."
Zhang Yuanwai was startled: "Brother Bai said it, how can it not be counted? Brother Bai, you are in Gaojia Village, but Bai Yuan, one of the most romantic people, laughed: "The matter of firearms is what Tianzun said. "
Zhang Yuanwai: "...
Bai Yuan said: "The original words of Tianzun are as follows: Firearms are murder weapons. From the day they were born, they were used to kill enemies more efficiently. If this kind of thing falls into the hands of kind people, it can save the common people. But in the hands of evil, it can destroy the entire world.
Zhang Yuanwai: "!"
Bai Yuan: "So the prerequisite for using firearms is virtue."
Zhang Yuanwai vaguely understood something: "I understand, it's the three disciplines and eight points of attention that Brother Bai wants my people to study seriously, right?
Bai Yuan smiled: "Exactly! Your people have just started to learn this. It's too early to get firearms now. When all of them can do the three major disciplines and eight points of attention well, they will no longer be a bunch of chaos. When the rabble that suffered were soldiers from the common people, Gaojiacun would naturally bring a large number of firearms."
Zhang Yuanwai hurriedly said: "It will be easier once you have a goal. Brother Bai, just wait and see. I will definitely teach the people of the militia well.
The two of them were talking about this!
Bai Yuan suddenly felt that something was wrong. He looked up suddenly and found a group of low clouds floating above his head. This really made him overjoyed: "Huh? Tianzun is here!"
Zhang Yuanwai was surprised when he heard this: "Where is it? I haven't seen it? The latest and fastest first release."
Bai Yuan saluted in the sky: "I didn't expect Tianzun to come to Qiachuan Wharf. I never noticed it. It's not a good etiquette. Please cross out this word of courtesy."
The clouds parted in the sky, and a large piece of paper was revealed: "No problem, I just came to take a look."
As soon as this piece of paper was displayed, Zhang Yuanwai also saw it and was really shocked. He didn't expect that the God of Heaven would actually appear above his head. The words appearing in the sky were really scary. He quickly knelt down.
Bai Yuan: "Get up, Tianzun doesn't like others to kneel around and waste a lot of time on etiquette. His old man is very busy. When you talk to him, you must be concise and to the point, and don't take up your time."
Zhang Yuanwai quickly stood up obediently.
Bai Yuan: "Tianzun Qi, according to your instructions, I often come to Qiachuan Wharf to supervise the workers to build the fortress. Ten days ago, the cement castle was completed. Now the militia of Heyang County has settled in the fort, and it will be for a long time in the future. We are stationed here to keep out the rogue bandits. I have also transferred veterans from Gaojia Village to teach them three disciplines and eight points of attention every day. After improving their quality, we will arrange weapons for them.
Li Daoxuan showed a big piece of paper and said: "It's done great. With you here, I can rest assured."
After being praised by Tianzun, even an intellectual like Bai Yuan would be happy for a long time, with a smile on his face.
Li Daoxuan: "Since you have settled down by the Yellow River, I will give you another good boat."
"Boat?" Zhang Yuanwai was surprised: "Does Heavenly Lord want to give us a fishing boat to use for fishing?"
No wonder he thought so. Most of the things Tianzun gave to Heyang County were related to productivity, such as flour and road construction. Now that Tianzun said that he would give ships, Zhang Yuanwai immediately thought of fishing boats.
Bai Yuan's eyes swept across several shabby small fishing boats parked on the pier, thinking: There are also fishing boats here. Although they are a bit broken, they are definitely enough to maintain the lives of the fishermen. After several years of drought, The drought did not affect the fishermen in the Yellow River, and their lives were worry-free.
But Tianzun said that he would give a boat? strangeness!
Could it be that it is not a fishing boat, but... a warship?
Bai Yuan suddenly became excited.
I saw where the clouds opened, and a huge ship slowly descended from the sky.
The thing that came down this time was bigger than anything Tianzun had ever sent down before. It was a huge ship, such a huge ship.
Although it was still very tall, Bai Yuan could tell at a glance that the boat was at least ten feet long. A boat of this length could be called a giant in the inland river.
It slowly descended from the sky. Zhang Yuanwai and the militiamen in Heyang County were all dumbfounded when they saw it. The fishermen on the dock even screamed: "What is it? Wow, a boat, such a big boat came down from the sky." ”
"Is it Tianzun who is casting a spell?"
"Wow!"
The boat landed on the river, pushing away a large amount of water with a crash, and the waves were rippling. Li Daoxuan used his giant gloved hands to gently push the boat, letting it float to the edge of Qiachuan Pier.
The few small fishing boats on the pier were shaken by the waves. Fortunately, the fishermen on the boats were not thrown off. They had been on the Yellow River all their lives and were used to the wayward current of the Yellow River. Getting them off the ship was no simple matter.
But this group of people now also had their mouths open, looking confused.
What appeared in front of me was a huge ship ten feet long. The swimming pool in the swimming pool downstairs of Li Daoxuan's house in later generations was only 25 meters long, and this ship was longer than the swimming pool. You can imagine how big it was.
The fishermen looked up at the tall and majestic ship tower on the boat and the dozens of cannons reflecting the sun on it, and almost bowed down.
Zhang Yuanwai's mouth was so open that he could stuff a duck egg into it. Just now he was begging Bai Yuan to install some cannons for Qiachuan Fort, but he didn't know that a ship flew down from the sky with more than a dozen cannons on board...
My dear!
If he knew that these cannons were all fake cannons for decoration, I wonder if he would be mad to death.
Everyone showed moved and excited expressions. Only Bai Yuan had a strange expression, tilting his head, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he heard a strange tone: "This time it was given by God." The boat is wrong.”
Zhang Yuanwai: "What's wrong? It's such a big ship, such a powerful ship, what else do you feel is wrong?"
Bai Yuan said seriously: "This ship is actually made of wood grain. It's so strange. Why isn't it painted in the colorful "Tianzun color"?" This ship is not Tianzun’s style at all. Could it be that Tianzun is hinting at something? "
Li Daoxuan: "...
Zhang Yuanwai: "....
The lightbulb above Bai Yuan's head clicked on: "I understand, Tianzun only gave us a mold this time, and asked us to paint it in five colors ourselves to show our respect for him."
