Han Dao world

Chapter 226
Pei Qian's hard work was not in vain.

Walking into Tieguan, Liu Xie, Zhao Wen and others showed great interest in the clean environment and orderly personnel arrangement.

It is understandable that the government office can be kept so clean, but it is rare that the on-site management of the workshop is so good.

In Liu Xie's view, Pei Qian's level, in the [-]st century, at least at the level of a large-scale project manager, is more than enough to be alone.

Zhao Wen and others were greatly moved, they did not expect such a young talent in Hedong.

Among the children of the aristocratic family, there are not many with such practical operation ability.

The vast majority of people will not accept the other with their mouths, and the one with their hands is not as good as the other.

Pei Mao gave birth to a good son, Wenxi Pei's family had an opportunity, and they couldn't stop it.

After watching the scene, Pei Qian led Liu Xie and others to the official office and showed the prepared vests.

Zhao Wen and the others were shocked when they saw the improved vest.

They have witnessed how Li Jue's armored cavalry broke Shi Sunrui's position. If the emperor hadn't led the cavalry to attack and kill Li Jue, Wei Jie would not have escaped, and the entire Northern and Southern Army's positions would have been destroyed by more than a hundred armored cavalry. ride destroyed.

"How many vests like this do you have here?" Zhao Wen asked anxiously.

Pei Qian looked at Liu Xie, and after getting Liu Xie's consent, he raised his hand. "It is planned to build [-] pieces, and more than [-] pieces have been completed, and all will be delivered before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year."

Zhao Wen said "Oh" and didn't speak again.

He knew in his heart that no matter how much they persuaded, the emperor had made up his mind.

He definitely didn't think of it for a while, but he had already started to prepare.

Although the Son of Heaven is young, he has his own opinions, which cannot be persuaded by a few words of persuasion from veteran officials like them.

Xun Yu, Pei Qian, the emperor really trusted these young people.

In an instant, Zhao Wen was a little disheartened.

"Can this saddle be used?" Guang Luxun Deng Quan pointed to some new saddles and asked.

The biggest feature of these saddles is that the front and rear axles are relatively low, especially the rear axle.

The rear axle is low, which is not conducive to the stability of the rider.Horseback riding is better. When a knight strikes with a spear, he is easily pushed off his horse by the reaction force.This kind of saddle is not suitable for the knights of the Han army who have the advantage of attacking with spears.

Pei Qian glanced at Liu Xie again.

Liu Xie shook his head calmly.

When he proposed adding stirrups, he reminded Pei Qian to keep it secret and not to leak it easily.

Its level of secrecy is even higher than that of vests.

The target of prevention is not the Guandong Prefecture, but the nomads on the grasslands.

For the Huns and Xianbei, there is nothing to keep the vest secret. They even knew about it earlier than the Central Plains people, but they just don't have the ability to equip large-scale equipment for the time being.

The Xianbei people later used armored cavalry in large quantities because they controlled Hebei and obtained the resources and handicraft capabilities of the Central Plains.

However, the resources and processing capacity required for stirrups are limited, and even wooden boards can be used instead.

He didn't want to help the enemy open a cheat before the war started.

Pei Qian understood it carefully, and said perfunctorily that the saddle is not yet finished, and it is not in its final shape.

Although Deng Quan is a bit old, he is not stupid.Seeing Pei Qian and Liu Xie flirting, it is estimated that the emperor had made arrangements in advance, and he could not tell them, so he didn't ask any more.

Liu Xie immediately ordered Guo Wu, Zhang Xiu and others to try it out.

Zhang Xiu couldn't wait.Before Liu Xie finished speaking, he stepped forward, lifted the vest, and checked the vest's armor.

"It's so thick." Zhang Xiu picked it up, and then gave a preliminary estimate. "Even the strongest Xiliang horse can only support three assaults. After a long time, the horsepower is insufficient, and if it cannot catch up with the opponent, it will be useless."

Liu Xie was not surprised at all.

Of course, he can make Pei Qian make it lighter, and Pei Qian can do it even without his technical support.

It is nothing more than spending more manpower and material resources.

The hundred-smelting steelmaking technology in the Han Dynasty was already mature, but the cost was too high, and there were very few of them who had actually achieved one-hundred-smelting steelmaking.

"As far as I know, are there any elites on the grassland who can be armored cavalry for three assaults?"

Zhang Xiu shook his head without thinking. "If it was twenty years in the morning, perhaps Xianbei's commander-in-chief Tan Shihuai's royal court elite would have this ability. After Tan Shihuai's death, the Xianbei people continued to fight among themselves, one refused to accept the other, and they could no longer gather so many elites."

He swallowed, and said again: "Your Majesty, these vests are rare, and they need real warriors to be effective, and the Habayashi Knights may not be able to pick out so many warriors."

Liu Xie smiled and said nothing.

These three hundred vests were not prepared for Habayashi Qi, and Zhang Xiu's testing was useless.

The real sharp weapon must be in one's own hands.

If Zhang Xiu wanted to command the three hundred armored cavalry, he had to show enough loyalty.

Pei Qian then showed other weapons, including the [-]-fold black armor, the [-]-fold spear, and the [-]-fold ring-head long knife.

[-]% off armour, [-]% off spears, and [-]% off knives are rare boutiques, and it is difficult for non-true elites to equip them in batches.

Seeing these gleaming ordnance, Zhang Xiu scratched his heart.

Based on his experience, he can tell at a glance what kind of combat power the armored generals equipped with these ordnance will have.Theoretically speaking, as long as the command is proper, these three hundred armored cavalry have the ability to decide the outcome of any enemy.

The well-deserved main force of attack.

Pei Qian then introduced the progress.With the current manpower and material resources, by the end of the first month of next year at the latest, all the ordnance equipped with three thousand cavalry can be delivered for use.If we can add some manpower and raise some iron materials, we can advance a few days or increase production.

Liu Xie immediately discussed with Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi, and sent the iron materials and damaged ordnance that had just been seized from the Wei family, and prepared as much as possible.

"Your Majesty, military equipment is of course important, but agricultural equipment is also indispensable." Zhao Wen reminded: "Spring plowing is approaching, the registered permanent residence in Hedong is limited, and labor is insufficient. Prepare more well-made agricultural equipment so that you can cultivate more land. There is enough food."

"Situ Ruyan, it is an old saying." Liu Xie said with a smile: "But if the rebellion in Meiji is put down before the spring plowing, more cattle and horses are transported, and animal power is used instead of manpower, more land can be cultivated. If there are more prisoners , and can also be sent to the mountains for mining.”

Before Zhao Wen could speak, Xuanbo interjected: "Your Majesty, why wait until the Huns are captured, there will be one in Hedong."

In an instant, countless pairs of eyes looked over.

Xuanbo didn't change his face, and continued: "There are not a few wealthy and powerful households in the east of the river who steal iron ore and cast utensils privately. As long as we send someone to check it out, there are more than enough craftsmen and iron materials, which is enough for iron officials to double their size. As far as I know, many craftsmen were originally prisoners of iron officials, but they were exiled under various names and became private property."

When Xuanbo said this, even Pei Qian couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to salute.

"Your Majesty, I also found that the loss of craftsmen is serious, which is not normal. It is necessary to investigate."

Liu Xie nodded slightly. "Situ, Sikong, who should be responsible for this matter?"

Zhang Xi said first: "This is a matter of Hedong County, and the governor of Hedong should be in charge. If the governor of Hedong can't handle it, he can report it to Sili. The captain of Sili can't handle it, so he can ask His Majesty for instructions, either from the Sikong Mansion or from the Shaofu Yushitai."

Liu Xie looked at Zhao Wen and others.

Zhao Wen and Yang Biao nodded in agreement.
