He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 56: Come and meet me
"It is definitely above tiger strength! No wonder it can beat Han Qianhu's bull strength!"

"Such a tough guy is just a young blacksmith? When did the blacksmith camp become so powerful?"

While the other soldiers were discussing, Song Tianjiu pulled Liao Mingxu and said with shining eyes, "We must get this kid no matter what. He is strong at such a young age. With a little training, he will definitely be a rare and powerful general!"

Liao Mingxu looked at Jiang Lin with sparkling eyes and had the same thought.

To be precise, calling Jiang Lin to the training ground was meant to test the young man's strength.

The current results are far beyond expectations.

If Jiang Lin was willing, Liao Mingxu would be willing to directly give him a centurion rank without him having to start as a soldier.

But when he thought of Old Man Wei’s attitude, Liao Mingxu became troubled again.

He wanted Jiang Lin, but didn't want to go against Old Man Wei, so he was hesitant for a while.

At this time, Fang Zhisheng came over and was about to report on the weapons. Seeing Jiang Lin surrounded by a group of soldiers, he hurriedly asked, "General, what happened?"

Song Tianjiu smiled and said, “It’s nothing serious, it’s just that Jiang Lin pulled the eight-stone bow to a full moon.”

"Eight-stone bow?" Fang Zhisheng was also shocked.

Drawing a bow and shooting an arrow sounds simple, but in fact, with the same amount of strength, the limit of what a trained and an untrained person can pull is completely different.

Jiang Lin had never received any training in this area. He could only pull the eight-stone bow with brute force. If he practiced seriously, he might be able to make further progress.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhisheng immediately became interested. With his eyes shining, he said to Liao Mingxu: "Commander-in-Chief, this kid..."

Liao Mingxu knew what he wanted to say at a glance, and waved his hand and said, "It's not easy to do this with Master Wei standing in the way. Let's talk about it later."

"Master Wei... Alas!" Fang Zhisheng shook his head slightly, and then said in a low voice: "Commander-in-Chief, do you know that among the thirty long swords sent by Jiang Lin, six are of high quality!"

Liao Mingxu was a little surprised. A mere low-grade weapon was not worth mentioning, but the mass-produced goods from the blacksmith camp could actually have such a high quality, which was extraordinary.

"Six? How could they send us high-quality weapons?" Song Tianjiu asked curiously.

"That's unknown." Fang Zhisheng nodded at Jiang Lin and said, "If you want to know, why not just ask this kid?"

Song Tianjiu walked over and waved at the soldiers: "Go away, go away, why are you gathered here? I am better at forging iron than you all day long, aren't you ashamed?"

A Qianhu monster asked with a smile: "Master Garrison, do you mean that you can be stronger than this little blacksmith? We want to see it for ourselves."

Song Tianjiu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly glared: "Get lost, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you with a stick!"

Everyone understood and dispersed with laughter.

Song Tianjiu pulled Jiang Lin over and asked, "I heard from Guard Fang that among the weapons you sent, six long swords were of good quality? Did you know about this?"

Jiang Lin had anticipated this matter. They were all professionals, so it was not surprising for them to see the grade.

He bowed and said, "To be honest, my master Zhao Yankui and I have improved our forging skills recently, and occasionally forged high-quality weapons. I came here to tell you that you should get more weapons from the South Blacksmith Camp in the future. I guarantee that the quality is better than the other three!"

"Are you still an apprentice?" Liao Mingxu asked.

"Yes."

Liao Mingxu couldn't help but laugh, pointing at Jiang Lin, and said to Song Tianjiu and Fang Zhisheng: "See, this kid is still an apprentice, but he has already started to fight for the interests of the blacksmith camp behind him. His brain is much smarter than ours."

Jiang Lin smiled faintly and did not deny this. The Southern Blacksmith Camp was the smallest of the four major blacksmith camps, with the fewest people.

Naturally, the amount of work assigned each time is the least.

If you do little, you won't get many benefits, not to mention any connection with the outside world, and you will have almost no sense of existence.

Since Jiang Lin was born in the Southern Blacksmith Camp, he certainly wanted to make his environment better.

If we can deepen our relationship with the Nanling Camp, it will be beneficial to both the Southern Blacksmith Camp and ourselves. It will be a win-win situation.

"But there are so few people in the South Blacksmith Camp. It's fine if there's no war. But once a war breaks out, we won't be able to supply them." Liao Mingxu said.

Jiang Lin said: "I can guarantee that the weapons of the Southern Blacksmith Camp are of the best quality. Every time we deliver weapons of the entry-level grade or above, we will account for at least..."

After a brief pause, Jiang Lin said, "Half done."

"Halfway done?" Liao Mingxu was a little surprised, and his expression became a little serious: "Brother Jiang, do you know what you are talking about?"

Song Tianjiu also said, "For every one thousand weapons, fifty must be of good quality. If we count the large-scale work your foundry department received a few days ago, there must be ten thousand good quality swords out of two hundred thousand. How can the Southern Blacksmith Battalion alone do that?"

Jiang Lin smiled slightly and said, "Since I said it's possible, it must be possible, and this is only for now. If we wait a few more days, perhaps the quality can be further improved."

At this point, both Liao Mingxu, the third-rank lieutenant general, and Song Tianjiu and Fang Zhisheng, the fifth-rank garrison commanders, had different expressions.

Although half sounds like a small amount, the military has always had structures such as the Vanguard Battalion and the Sharp Knife Battalion.

There won't be too many of these good players who are used to open up the situation, but each of them is very strong.

If everyone holds a good-quality weapon and rushes into the enemy camp, wouldn't it be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables?
Liao Mingxu's expression suddenly became solemn, and his voice was slightly low: "Jiang Lin, are you sure about this? There is no joking in the army. If you agree to this, if you can't do it, it will not only be a beating. Even I can't save your head!"

The change in address from Brother Jiang to Jiang Lin means that Liao Mingxu no longer regards Jiang Lin as just a younger brother, but is discussing military and national affairs with him!
The border troops are good at protecting their own troops, but they pay more attention to rules.

Whoever breaks the rules must die, even if he is the king!
Jiang Lin put away his smile and said firmly, "I can be sure that as long as no one interferes or deliberately makes trouble, this will succeed! Otherwise, chop off my head without hesitation!"

"What do you mean by interfering and deliberately making trouble?" Song Tianjiu asked.

Jiang Lin bowed and said, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Although the blacksmith camp is small, there are occasional disputes, such as Dong Songchang and his ilk before, and even an eighth-rank eunuch. Although I am not afraid, it is not surprising that such scoundrels cause trouble and delay the construction period."

"Eighth-rank eunuch?" Song Tianjiu's eyes suddenly showed a strong murderous intent: "A mere eunuch, why should he be mentioned!"

Liao Mingxu raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and then looked at Jiang Lin, saying sternly: "Jiang Lin, I'm going to ask you one last time, in the future, the weapons delivered by the Southern Blacksmith Camp will be half-finished, can you take this seriously?"

Jiang Lin looked him straight in the eye, not afraid at all: "Seriously!"

"Okay!" Liao Mingxu's voice was as loud as a bell, deafening.

"From now on, the Southern Blacksmith Camp is protected by our Nanling Camp! Anyone who provokes you and delays the construction period will be an enemy of the Nanling Camp! Even if he is a first-rank official, I, Liao Mingxu, will make him know how powerful I am!"

Liao Mingxu stared at Jiang Lin with a murderous look on his face: "But if no one interferes, you won't be able to hand over the things..."

"If you can't hand it over."

Jiang Lin's eyes were firm: "I'll bring my head with me!"
