In the early morning of the next day, Ying Zheng began to arrange the arrangements early.
After leading Meng Tian to determine the location and scope of the restricted area, Ying Zheng led the craftsmen to open up the path to the secret room.
The sergeants behind were busy digging mountains and paving roads. Li Si led seven craftsmen directly to the secret room, while Ying Zheng followed behind to prevent anyone from falling behind.
Climbing mountains and ridges, overcoming thorns and thorns.
The ravine that could be crossed with just one leap on the eve of the previous day had to be climbed for a long time by several people.
Ying Zheng missed the feeling of leaping on Xi's back.
After walking for a long time, Ying Zheng led these craftsmen to the vicinity of the secret room.
After walking around the location of the secret room, he determined the route for building the road, and then headed back towards the military camp.
In order to create some mystery about the gods in the mountain, Ying Zheng deliberately did not take the craftsmen into the secret room.
Although the craftsmen were curious, they listened to Ying Zheng and went wherever he was told. Only Liu An, the team leader, seemed to always pay more attention to other things, probably because he was more attentive than the others.
It was already evening when we returned to the military camp, and Meng Tian's arrangements had been made. Ying Zheng was relieved and could go back to Xianyang to bring the large army over.
Before it fully opened the next day, Ying Zheng and Li Si drove two fast horses straight to Xianyang.
In the afternoon, the two finally returned to Xianyang, but Ying Zheng did not return to the palace, but went straight to the Meng Mansion.
In the training ground of Meng Mansion, six soldiers holding "my weapons" were fighting under the guidance of Wei Liao.
Fighting is different from fighting. Although there is less murderous intent, it seems more organized.
During the period when Ying Zheng left, Wei Liao had completely replenished the new army of 100 people. However, what was slightly embarrassing was that the team of 100 people only had six "weapons" that had just been built by the Jingjia Ban, so they had to take turns. They used it for practice. Until now, some soldiers have never touched the magic weapon with their hands.
When Meng Wu saw Ying Zheng coming, he was a little surprised and quickly stepped forward to salute.
Ying Zheng waved his hand, signaling him not to interrupt Wei Liao's training.
Meng Wu nodded, stood beside Ying Zheng, and asked in a low voice, "The king is back, why didn't you inform the ministers first?"
"I came back in a hurry this time." Ying Zheng also whispered, "The preparations have been made over at Lishan. I came back to pick up the Jing family."
The corners of Meng Wu's lips moved, as if he was saying: I'm afraid it's not just the Jing family's class, but also the 50,000-strong army of my Meng family...
Ying Zheng pointed at the soldiers who were practicing and said, "It looks impressive."
Meng Wu nodded and looked at the training ground with approval: "It seems that Wei Chen looked down on Wei Liao. This young man is really not simple. The method of training the new army is quite novel and interesting."
Being praised by Meng Wu means that Wei Liao has been recognized by Meng Wu, which can be regarded as breaking the ice.
"What's new?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Your Majesty, look at these six soldiers. On the surface, they are engaged in a one-on-one confrontation." Meng Wu looked at the training ground and said, "But in fact, they are divided into two groups and engaged in a three-on-three confrontation. On one side here, one person will attack one of the opponents by surprise at any time, and the other two on the other side will also help their teammates in defense at any time."
"In other words, one of our soldiers may face simultaneous attacks from three people at any time, and our two teammates must also try their best to help him out of danger, right?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Yes." Meng Wu replied, "This is actually the so-called formation, but it is not easy to train a soldier who is using 'my weapon' for the first time to walk so lightly."
Ying Zheng said happily: "It seems that I did not misjudge the person."
"That's not all." Meng Wu said, "Your Majesty, please come with me."
After that, Meng Wu made a gesture of invitation, and then led the way to the other side of the training ground.
I saw the rest of the New Army here, running with a sergeant major.
That sergeant major Ying Zheng knew him. He was the one who met Wei Liao in Jingyao.
Zhang Yong competes.
"Look, Your Majesty, that Zhang Yong has been appointed as a centurion." Meng Wu pointed at Zhang Yong and said.
"It seems that Wei Liao took a fancy to his bravery." Ying Zheng said.
"Yes, brave warriors are naturally convincing in the army." Meng Wu said, "This is also the brilliance of Wei Liao. He did not personally lead this new army."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng was slightly surprised.
Indeed, choosing a reputable person from among the soldiers to be the leader will have a certain deterrent effect.
"What's more worth mentioning is the way this new army trains." Meng Wu said with a smile, "They are all training to enhance physical strength and endurance. Wei Liao said that the most basic thing about this new army is physical fitness. "
"Normal training also involves practicing physical fitness?" Ying Zheng asked.
"But the intensity of Wei Liao's training is several times higher than normal training." Meng Wu said, "Moreover, in addition to some martial arts techniques, there are also many strange and weird movements."
Ying Zheng resisted the urge to let Meng Wu do a few demonstrations and said: "If the new army is to be better than the normal army, it must have some unique training methods. Let him do it."
"Weichen thinks so too," Meng Wu said.
"I will fully equip the magic weapons as soon as possible." Ying Zheng said, "By the way, is there any news from Meng Yi?"
Meng Wu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Ying Zheng: "This is the letter I just received this morning. Please read it."
Ying Zheng opened the letter and the person who wrote the letter was Sima Hong.
The letter stated that the two mineral deposits in Qishan have been fully explored and preliminary mining has begun. Meng Yi also found several ancient tombs and took the gold exploration team to explore them in detail. The entire team was very harmonious and cooperative. Very coordinated too.
Meng Yi also used black iron snails to confirm the locations of several mineral deposits. He will start surveying in the near future. Once construction starts, he hopes that the temple will send more manpower.
The letter was written in Qishan two days ago.
After reading Sima Hong's letter, Ying Zheng felt at ease.
"It seems that the progress is not bad." Ying Zheng handed the letter back to Meng Wu and said, "We must fully cooperate with Meng Yi. I will send a few more craftsmen from the Jing family class, and you will also send more Some people and horses.”
"Wei Chen takes orders." Meng Wu said.
At this time, Wei Liao finished the training, ran to Ying Zheng's side, bowed and said, "I have seen the king."
"Captain, no courtesy." Ying Zheng raised his hand to indicate, "I just saw you training soldiers, so I didn't bother you."
"Time is tight, the number of magic soldiers is limited, and it is difficult for me to interrupt the training." Although he knew that Ying Zheng would not blame him, Wei Liao still explained.
"I just came to see if you need anything. After all, the training is on track." Ying Zheng said.
"There is no shortage of anything else, but this 'my weapon'..." Wei Liao did not finish his words.
Ying Zheng sighed softly and said: "I also know that the current magic weapons are indeed a bit stretched. I will also equip the new army with 'my weapon' as soon as possible. There is no war now, but there is no need to fight." I was anxious for a moment.”
Ying Zheng's words were obviously meant for Wei Liao, but more importantly, they were meant for himself.
"Since the King has no plans to expand the new army in the short term, it is okay for the minister to spend more time." Wei Liao looked at Ying Zheng and said.
"By the way." Ying Zheng turned to ask, "How is the captain's research on the special formation of the magic weapon going?"
"Go back to the king." Wei Liao cupped his hands and said, "Although there are only these few magic weapons, they are also very helpful for small formations at the beginning. Wei Chen will collect the content and process of training every day, Then combined with various mature formations, there are always big gains."
"That's good." Ying Zheng said happily, "It's just that I am busy with training during the day and writing manuscripts at night. The captain is really busy."
Wei Liao smiled and said, "It's too hard to mention, but the time it takes to complete the formation may be later than expected."
What Wei Liao meant was that he would definitely develop this self-created formation, it was just a matter of time.
"Oh?" Ying Zheng said with a smile, "In that case, let's make a bet to see who is faster in developing your formation, or my magic weapon."
Wei Liao also became interested and asked, "May I ask your Majesty, what is the bet?"
Ying Zheng thought for a while and then said seriously: "Of course it is an official title. Didn't I say before that if you can create a formation suitable for the new army, you will be promoted to a national captain. But if I wait until I All the weapons have been manufactured, but you haven't developed this formation yet, so the position of National Lieutenant will no longer be available to you."
"Okay!" Wei Liao said quickly, "Your Majesty's bet is fair and reasonable. Let's make it a deal."
"Haha..." Ying Zheng laughed, "I'll just wait and see."
"Then Wei Chen has to be a witness." Meng Wu said.
"Okay." Ying Zheng and Wei Liao said at the same time.
All three laughed.
After Meng Wu and Wei Liao took Ying Zheng around again, Ying Zheng hurried to Jingyao and drove away from Meng Mansion.
When they arrived at Jing Kiln, Jing Fan was leading people to load firecrackers into the carriage.
"The King is back!" someone in the crowd shouted.
The craftsmen put down their objects and bowed in worship.
"No courtesy." Ying Zheng waved his hand and walked inside with a smile.
Jing Fan quickly came over and said, "Welcome to you, Your Majesty."
"Haha, everyone did a good job." Ying Zheng said as he walked in, "I just came out of the Meng Mansion and saw that there are already six 'my weapons' over there. I want to praise you for such results."
When the craftsmen heard that there was still a reward, they were all happy and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng walked slowly, glanced at the craftsmen, and then said: "As for the reward, I will ask Zhao Gao to deliver it. However, I just made a bet at the Meng family. Don't let me lose face."
Although the one who made the bet was Ying Zheng, the only ones who could help Ying Zheng were these craftsmen. How could it be done without giving them some sweetness?
"Becoming an Immortal in One Step"
What's more, regardless of winning or losing, Ying Zheng is the beneficiary.
Jing Fan cupped his hands and said, "May I ask, Your Majesty, what is the bet about?"
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "I made a bet with Wei Liao to see whether he would be the first to develop the formation, or whether my Jing family would be the first to make a hundred of these magical weapons."
When everyone heard this, their smiles froze on their faces.
"Your Majesty, we have nothing to say about the construction of the divine weapon, but the raw materials are not something we can decide. I'm afraid..." Jing Fan said doubtfully.
"So, I came back this time to send a few people to Meng Yi's side." Ying Zheng said, "And the remaining people have enough people to cast the magic weapon, and the rest will follow me to Lishan Mountain .”
Previously, Ying Zheng designed to "break up" the Meng family and his son, and this time, he used a bet to "break up" the Jing family class.
The Jingjia squad had already performed their own duties, but now they had some free time to make porcelain and gunpowder, so they had enough manpower.
"Your Majesty, when you go to Lishan this time, you have to take your ministers with you, right?" Jing Fan asked.
It was obvious that Jing Fan was eager to go to Mount Li to build the royal tomb.
"Of course." Ying Zheng said, "Today, you will divide the personnel. Tomorrow, you will send off the personnel who are going to Meng Yi first. The rest of us will go to Lishan together the day after tomorrow."
"Follow the king's order!" All the craftsmen responded in unison.
After coming out of Jing's class, Ying Zheng could finally go home.
The lovely wives at home don’t know what they are busy with.
The news that King Qin had returned to Xianyang had long been sent back to the palace. Zhao Gao took people to the Meng Mansion to take Ying Zheng back to the palace, but failed. Hearing that King Qin had gone to Jingyao, Zhao Gao took people with him at the West Gate. waiting.
Ying Zheng saw Zhao Gao waiting here and asked why. Zhao Gao said it was because the five wives were looking forward to the king returning to the palace and urged him to come and pick him up quickly.
Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and sighed, got into the carriage and drove back to the palace.
