Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 441 With a swipe of a pen, 40 coins disappear

Chapters 40, [-] and [-] pens disappear with a swipe of a pen

Chen Ying has a batch of captured weapons and equipment, which are not small. There are more than [-] horizontal knives, nearly [-] bows and arrows, and more than [-] crossbows. There are nearly [-] sets, especially [-] sets of heavy equipment, and more than [-] war horses.

The key point is that most of the seized equipment Chen Ying looked down upon.Even Wang Ren regards the heavy iron armor as a soul treasure, in Chen Ying's eyes, it is about the value of scrap steel, and it needs to be recast.The double heavy armor weighs 45 jin, but its defensive power is not as good as the Mingguang armor made of high manganese steel. However, the Mingguang armor is nearly [-] jin lighter than the double heavy armor. This also means that their combat support time will be shortened by at least half an hour.

Chen Ying exchanged some of the 2000 sets of heavy armor for supplies. As for the more than [-] mountain-breaking battle axes in the Tomahawk Camp, they ended up in the baggage, used to cut wood and build camps, and the effect was really good.

As for the more than [-] bows and arrows captured on the Beiyuan battlefield and in the hands of Wang Xuanqiong, it was either because they were poorly made, or the tension was not enough. Among the more than [-] captured bows and arrows, as many as [-] bows had only seven tensions. Even if you shoot a light arrow, you can barely reach more than [-] steps, but the most effective killing is only [-] to [-] steps. If you face a target equipped with iron armor, then you only need a song that will break your heart. Even if they shot ten arrows, they still couldn't kill a single target.

The Seven Dou Bow does not have the ability to wear armored targets, it is like holding a pistol and aiming at a target wearing a Slavic helmet and nano-body armor 100 meters away, unless two bullets hit one, or can target The target deals a fatal blow, otherwise it's just scratching the surface.

In Chen Ying's view, anyone who equips the army with this seven-double bow deserves to be pulled out and shot.Because the Seven-Double Bow is a hunting bow, it is almost useless unless it is facing an unarmored target.In Chen Ying's view, the bows of more than one stone produced by the Chang'an Weapons Supervision Department of the Tang Dynasty are barely usable, at least they can shoot heavy arrows and suppress enemy targets.Whether it is armor or armor, the best steel crossbow produced in Chen Ying's crossbow shop, if this kind of steel crossbow with a tension of three stones is equipped with the whole army to shoot the army, it will be a disaster for the enemy.

Although Chen Ying's crossbow machine made of spring steel is not like the scorpion crossbow, it can hit targets three or four hundred paces away, but it has no pressure on targets between one hundred and eighty to two hundred paces away.At this distance, the Turkic cavalry can only be beaten and cannot fight back. The Turkic cavalry has to withstand at least three rounds of crossbow shooting before they can barely enter the effective range of their cavalry bows.

With three rounds of crossbow arrows, even the most elite Turkic Wangzhang pro-army Affiliated Army will go around.

The most important thing is that this kind of crossbow machine has a very simple structure and can be divided into seventeen parts, all of which can be cast. A furnace of molten steel can be poured directly after batching and stirring. After simple polishing, it can be assembled to form this kind A powerful crossbow.

There were less than [-] craftsmen in Chen Ying's crossbow workshop, and they said that they made [-] crossbow machines in one day without any pressure.

As for the scorpion crossbow, it is a tactical support weapon.Nufang is difficult to manufacture, the production speed is slow, and the cost is not cheap. It is worth mentioning that Li Jiancheng directly rejected Wei Zheng's objection. , used to purchase the above-mentioned materials and equipment, and other seized gold and silver were transported to Chang'an..."

Wei Zheng was very puzzled, and said bluntly: "His Royal Highness supports Chen Ying to do this, what is the difference between this and the prodigal son?"

After all, Datang's life is not easy.Especially last year when Hedong was hit by Liu Wuzhou's military disaster, it was almost impossible to collect taxes. Not only could it not be collected, but the imperial court had to allocate funds to build the city and appease the people whose families were ruined. Hundreds of dollars in funeral expenses.However, because of Liu Wuzhou's military disaster, more than 30 people died in the counties and counties of Hedong, which emptied the treasury of the Tang Dynasty.

It's hard to say about other officials, at least Wei Zheng is still waiting for the court's salary to be put into the pot.Therefore, the seizure of these 70 Guan can greatly alleviate the emptiness of the Tang Dynasty's treasury.

However, as the saying goes, the ass determines the head.

Because of their different positions, Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng have different considerations.Li Yuan is obviously partial to Li Shimin. If Wang Shichong is eliminated, then Li Shimin will definitely be rewarded.There has been a faint rumor in the palace that once Li Shimin eliminates Wang Shichong and occupies the entire Central Plains, Li Yuan will reward Li Shimin as General Tiance, Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, ranking above the generals of all armies, and becoming the commander of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses .

This put too much pressure on Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng had the name of supervising the country, but he did not actually supervise the country.Although Li Shimin does not have the actuality of supervising the country, he can command the six ministries in the name of Shangshu Sheng Shangshuling, and control the heavy power of the court. If Li Shimin is made the world's military commander, Li Shimin will definitely expand.

Li Mengchang, the big celebrity around Li Shimin, served as the general of the right guard, Du Junchuo moved to the general of the right guard, Zheng Rentai served as the general of the right guard, and Dugu Yanyun served as the general of the left lead.In other words, among the 32 generals among the sixteen generals, Li Shimin has controlled three generals, one big general.

In the future, Wang Shichong will be put down, and Li Shimin's generals such as Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, Gongsun Wuda, Liu Shili, etc. will also be promoted to one of the sixteen generals with the help of Li Shimin.With Chen Ying's great achievements, it is understandable to be promoted to General Zuo Wu or General You Wu Army. Li Jiancheng naturally thought that Li Yuan was weakening his military power.

As the saying goes, those who plan more win more, and those who plan less win less.Since Li Jiancheng couldn't stop Li Yuan from taking sides at this time, he could only plan ahead.

Li Jiancheng also didn't want to be the second Prince Li. At that time, Prince Li Liu Ju was trapped by Jiang Chong, Su Wen, Liu Qumao and others, so he had to kill Jiang Chong. It was a pity that he was finally defeated by Liu Qumao and committed suicide. .

The military power held by the prince has always been feared by the emperor.Li Jiancheng has only [-] soldiers and horses, with six rates.With this strength, Li Yuan would definitely not sit back and watch him expand his army. When Li Jiancheng was in a dilemma, Chen Ying proposed a new plan for him at this time.

Strengthen the six-rate equipment of the Eastern Palace. Each soldier is equipped with three types of weapons. Once the situation requires it, the army can be expanded at any time to triple the number of troops without having to worry about weapons and equipment.

Conscience in the bottom of the world, Chen Ying absolutely did not mean to confuse Li Jiancheng, raise the army, and guard against Li Shimin, but the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin was directed by Li Yuan himself at the beginning, but as Li Shimin's power grew, Li Shimin began to swell.

In the end, a tragedy was brewing.

Li Jiancheng rushed to Wei Zheng and said: "Prepare the carriage, I will enter the palace!"

Following Li Jiancheng along the way, Wei Zheng still wanted to persuade Li Jiancheng to change his mind, but Li Jiancheng was also determined to improve his awareness of military equipment, and he did not change his attitude at all.

"Da Lang... Could there be some great joy?" Li Yuan seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, seeing Li Jiancheng coming, he said with a smile on his face.

"It's true that no one knows a son better than a father!" Li Jiancheng flattered Li Yuan indiscriminately: "Whatever happens to a son, I can't hide it from my father!"

Li Yuan laughed out loud when he heard this.

Pei Ji has always played the role of servant, teacher, friend, and minister in front of Li Yuan. Seeing the father and son doing their homework, Pei Ji didn't interrupt, and when his eyelids drooped, he regarded himself as a puppet.

Li Jiancheng put a watch in Li Yuan's hand.

Li Yuan was about to open it.

Li Jiancheng said: "Father, why don't you guess what this is?"

Li Yuan closed the watch and pondered, "The yamen are not opened yet. The affairs of the yamen haven't been sent to the palace. If it is an urgent matter, the palace will definitely get a letter. Erlang sent troops for five days, and the time has just passed Tongguan. The good news has not come so soon, is this good news from Chen Ying?"

"Although we have not won, it is not far away!" Li Jiancheng gently opened the watch, pointed to the words on it, and said, "Father, I am very happy. Although General Chen did not conquer Hangu Pass, he seized Taolin and sent Wang Shichong robbed the treasury in Taolin, and seized 2 taels of gold, more than [-] taels of silver, and a hundred carts of copper coins!"

Well, this is the normal ecology of officialdom.How much gold and silver Chen Ying seized is a matter for the beholder to see the benevolence and the wise see the wisdom. He reported 70 guan to Li Jiancheng, and of course what he ate was not counted.The watch was in the hands of Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng disappeared with a stroke of 40 pens.

Li Yuan and Pei Ji were worrying about the depleted national treasury, when they suddenly saw the huge wealth of 30 guan, the smile on Li Yuan's face deepened, and of course the age spots on his face became more obvious.

"Good, good, good!" Li Yuan said three good words in succession.

Pei Ji suddenly opened his eyes, and bowed deeply to Li Yuan: "The old minister congratulates His Majesty! This is God Bless Tang!"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "General Chen captured Wang Shichong..."

As Li Yuan's good friend, Pei Ji doesn't know what Li Yuan thinks in his heart. As the saying goes, the landlord's family has no food left, and Li Yuan's internal treasury is almost dry.He has so many concubines to reward, and the seasonal festivals, especially the Shangyuan Festival, are coming. At that time, it is necessary to have a big banquet for the ministers. Li Yuan must be having a headache because of money.

Pei Ji smiled and said: "General Chen took the lead, fought bloody battles, killed more than [-] enemies, and captured [-] thieves' gold..."

"Um……"

Li Yuan snorted.

Pei Ji hurriedly changed his words: "1 taels of gold and more than [-] taels of silver were seized to fill the treasury!"

If Chen Ying stood here, he would definitely be dumbfounded.Li Jiancheng swiped 70 guan and lost more than half, and Li Yuan was unambiguous, and directly lost half.

PS: Thank you book friend Wu Xiangrui for the reward of 2000 coins. Tomorrow, Lao Cheng will participate in the screenwriting competition, so he needs to take a good rest today.There are only three shifts today, please understand.Try to add more tomorrow.
