On the carriage back, Xu Xiaoxiao whispered to Xia Qingfeng: "Mom, is there anything you can do?"
"My daughter still understands me." Xia Qingfeng rubbed Xu Xiaoxiao's little head.
"Daughter, what do you think we form a special force? Equipped with well-equipped weapons, capture the thief first and capture the king first. As long as we control a few core characters, we can win without a fight."
"But, mother, setting up a special force is not an easy task. It takes time to select personnel for training and to build sophisticated weapons. However, what we lack most is time. Once the Third Prince takes action, we will be too late. ”
"There is nothing to fear from the Third Prince. He has been banned in the Prince's Mansion. As long as he is isolated from the outside world and unable to issue orders, people outside will receive wrong information and we will buy some time."
"Mom, have you figured out what to do?"
"I've thought of a general idea, but I still need to think about the details carefully. When we go back tonight, we will write up a specific plan. You can help me go through the details."
"good!"
"Cangji!" Xia Qingfeng opened the curtain and shouted.
"What's the matter, ma'am?"
"In a moment, you send a message to Cang Dao and Cang Jian, asking them to come to Qingya Courtyard at midnight tonight. I have something important to discuss with them."
"Yes, ma'am."
Returning to Qingya Garden, Xia Qingfeng and Xu Xiaoxiao returned to their room early and told Xia He and Ginkgo to guard the door and no one was allowed to come in. The two of them ducked into the space.
The two people first formulated the criteria for selecting special forces members: reconnaissance, camouflage, combat, force, and of course the unique ancient Qinggong. As long as you have expertise in a certain area, you can be selected. In addition, Xia Qingfeng is also planning to select a few young people to form a rescue team. There is no limit on whether the team members are male or female. Anyone who has the ability can be selected.
Next, we need to study the weapons equipped with them. In this era, smelting technology was backward and weapons were extremely bulky. The weapons carried by special forces members must be small and sophisticated.
We have initially decided on two weapons, which are currently within the capabilities of the two of them. One is a dagger and the other is a crossbow.
There were already crossbows at this time, but the crossbows here were bulky and could only fire one arrow at a time. Xia Qingfeng planned to develop five- and ten-shot repeating crossbows with Xu Xiaoxiao.
Another one is the dagger. The dagger is small and easy to carry. It is easy to improve the shape of the dagger, but the current blacksmithing technology makes the weapons not sharp enough. If you want to make a dagger that is both sharp and hard, you need to make steel.
Don't think about the steel-making skills of later generations. After all, the industry here is very backward. However, Xu Xiaoxiao considered using coal to make steel, because an important condition required for steelmaking is high temperature. The technique of frying steel can be used. Why is it called stir-fried steel? Because this kind of steel needs to be constantly stirred during the smelting process, like stir-frying, it is called fried steel.
The raw material of this kind of fried steel is pig iron. The key point of manufacturing is to first heat the pig iron to a liquid or semi-liquid state, and then use air blast or sprinkle concentrate powder to oxidize the elements such as silicon, manganese and carbon, and finally oxidize the elements. When the carbon content is reduced to the composition range of steel and wrought iron, fried steel is produced. The products of fried steel are mostly low carbon steel and wrought iron, but if controlled properly, medium carbon steel and high carbon steel will be obtained. If it really succeeds, then not only daggers can be made, but other weapons can also be made. If the soldiers at the border can use such sophisticated weapons, their combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.
In addition, Xu Xiaoxiao also boldly proposed the production of firecrackers. In ancient times, firecrackers began in the Yuan Dynasty and were widely used in national defense and coastal defense during the Ming Dynasty.
In her previous life, Ling Xiao liked to study these. She often bought some models to assemble and disassemble. Xu Xiaoxiao often played with them, so she knew the structure very well. well! If Ling Xiao could remember his past life, they wouldn't have to go to such trouble.
In fact, Xu Xiaoxiao also considered making fireballs, which are simple bombs, but this was too lethal. If it was an internal conflict within the country, she still hoped to reduce unnecessary casualties.
There are many items listed, from the uniforms of the special teams to the details of training.
Soon, it was getting dark outside. Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it any longer and fell asleep. Xia Qingfeng sorted out the contents of the previous plan one by one, and then left the space.
At midnight, four black shadows fell gently in the yard, and Ginkgo quickly opened the door to let a few people in. In the main room, five people were sitting upright, discussing important matters that would change the fate of the Kingdom of Yu. From today on, a new military unit will appear in the Kingdom of Dayu called the Special Forces; soon a big killer weapon will be created that will allow Dayu to dominate this continent.
The sword, gun, sword and halberd were shocked by Xia Qingfeng's thoughts. No wonder the master specifically stated in the letter that he must obey this lady absolutely and respect him as much as he respects his master. How could this be an ordinary woman? She was simply a god! She is definitely a fairy who came down to earth to save people in trouble.
Everyone had no objections to Xia Qingfeng's idea and would absolutely obey it. Cang Jian looked at the drawings of the crossbow with gleaming eyes. He insisted on going back to study and make it. Or was it Xia Qingfeng who said he would give it to the emperor and the emperor's grandson first? After looking at it, I reluctantly let it go.
Xia Qingfeng asked them to go back and select talents among their own people first, and make other decisions after meeting with the emperor tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Xia Qingfeng arrived at Hou Wuting's mansion early. Madam Hou had already packed everything and was waiting in the mansion. The old lady also knew the seriousness of the problem. She took Xia Qingfeng's hand and said, "Girl, just go ahead and do it. I, the Marquis of Wuting Mansion, are your backing. No matter what happens, we will definitely protect you and Xiaoxiao." .”
"Thank you, madam!" Xia Qingfeng bowed deeply. Since arriving in Beijing, the Wutinghou Mansion has been treating her kindly. This bow comes from the heart.
The three of them entered the palace in the Marquis's carriage. The person who received them was Concubine Cen. She was the mother-in-law of the second prince, and her mother's family was Taichang, who ranked first among the nine ministers. Since the emperor's second empress passed away five years ago, Concubine Cen has the highest status in the harem.
Xia Qingfeng thought: This is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Pretending to be flattering, we chatted awkwardly for a long time, until the eunuch beside the emperor came to inform him that the emperor wanted to see the lady who contributed suture skills and the little village head whom he had personally sealed, and then he bowed and left.
"I, too, should go and have a look. The emperor said he had trouble sleeping two days ago. I don't know what's going on now. I'm thinking about it."
"Your Majesty, you are too partial. It is not easy for me to enter the palace once. I still want to talk to you more. And I have heard that you have recently acquired a good piece of hot land. Jade, I also specially found a skilled craftsman to make a jade Guanyin, you have to ask me to worship the Guanyin here, it must be the most efficacious."
Concubine Cen looked at Xia Qingfeng, then at Mrs. Hou, and then said with a smile: "Look what the old lady said, if I don't take you to have a look, wouldn't it look like I'm stingy."
