Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 94 Heavy Snow Sledge

"I will definitely live up to His Highness' high expectations!"

Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng in surprise, very puzzled.I wondered in my heart, is Li Jiancheng consciously cultivating private soldiers?It is definitely better than Yang Wenqian to give this batch of supplies to himself.

In fact, Chen Ying also had some misunderstandings about Li Jiancheng. As the founding prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng was straightforward, lenient, kind, and very talented.Being vilified by his younger brother Li Shimin is not a despicable and mediocre prince recorded in history books.

Li Jiancheng's military achievements are actually no worse than Li Shimin's.Before the establishment of the prince, he led the army many times under orders, made great military exploits, and played an important role in the stability of the Tang Dynasty's rear.Suppress Sizhuzhu Shanhai, town Puzhou, prepare for Turks; crusade against Jihu, destroy Hebei Liu Heita, and pacify Shandong; Tun Bingzhou, prepare for Turks; go to Youzhou, prepare for Turks.

What needs to be emphasized is that Li Jiancheng's defense against the Turks in the north was a necessary condition for Li Shimin to win in the Central Plains, and it laid an important defense foundation for Li and Tang to unify the Central Plains.In this series of military activities, Li Jiancheng not only achieved military victories, defended his home and country in foreign wars, but also used gentle and appeasement strategies in civil wars, thus winning the love of the people.

In fact, after the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Jiancheng died, and 20 Turkic troops came to the city of Chang'an. In fact, Li Shimin also paid an inescapable responsibility. When Li Jiancheng was alive, he guarded against the Turks, and the Turks could never pass Nanyin Mountain.

This time the Turkic Chen Bing Lingzhou, Li Jiancheng always insisted on the main battle, and the only difference from the original history is that he only had one Xue Wanche in his hand, but now he has an extra Chen Ying.

Li Jiancheng nodded irrefutably, looked at Chen Ying and said solemnly: "You also know that our Tang Dynasty is now an eventful time, but Turkic people come and go like the wind, and the news of five thousand Turkic cavalry stationed at Yezhuling is still unknown." It was more than a month ago, and now I don’t know if the Turks have further increased their troops. Lingzhou is too close to the Turks, and it is easier for them to increase their troops than ours, so I will ask you for an order and give you the right to do things cheaply!"

Now Chen Ying was even more surprised. The words "doing things cheaply" in ancient times had a lot of meaning. Chen Ying's job was to be the commander of the army, which meant that he had no local administrative power except for the military.But it’s different when he has the advantage, he can do it within a certain range without asking for an imperial decree. For example, Di Renjie said that killing Xue Qinglin is within the advantage (but killing other people is not within the advantage, this article Doing things cheaply is specially set up for Cha Xue Qinglin's oppression)
"What can I do with your virtue!"

"Don't use people who are suspicious, don't use people with suspicion!"

The relationship between people is mutual.How do you treat me, what do I treat, instantly, Chen Ying's heart warmed up.Anyone can say these eight words, but few people actually do it.

Li Jiancheng continued: "If you have any other needs, tell them together. If I can solve it for you, I will solve it for you immediately!"

"I request you to allocate a hundred craftsmen who will serve as supervisors!" Chen Yingdao: "It's actually not complicated to build a boat on the snow, but this thing is widely used in military and civil affairs. If the Turkic people get this thing, ice and snow It will no longer be an obstacle to marching, and the border of two to three thousand miles in the Tang Dynasty will become a breakthrough for the Turkic people anytime and anywhere, so it can be hidden for a while, and the secret of sailing in the snow must not be leaked."

At this time, Chen Ying suddenly understood why Xu Jingzong took the secret of his high bridge saddle and double-sided stirrup, but did not fully implement it in the Tang army. Li Yuan was probably worried that this secret would be leaked.

Li Jiancheng said: "This palace can be the master, and I will transfer [-] households to you. If the snow boat is not built under the supervision of the craftsman, where will it be built?"

"I'm not very familiar with Chang'an." Chen Yingdao: "If you don't need it, just put it in the military camp of Xun'er Mansion. The whole army of Xun'er Mansion can be trusted!"

Li Jiancheng acted quite quickly, discussing with Chen Yingguo's mansion in the morning, but two hours later in the afternoon, two hundred craftsmen arrived at the military camp of Xun'er Mansion.

The two hundred craftsmen are headed by a general supervisor.The supervisors are divided into those who are in charge of civil engineering and craftsmen, the general left school, right school, lieutenant colonel, Zhenguan and other departments, and Baigong and other supervisors.The supervisor is a small official of the ninth rank, of course it can be understood as a supervisor.

Perhaps because of the difference in class, Chen Ying didn't have a good impression of the supervisor.However, it was only through the introduction that Chen Ying respected this Ninth Grade supervisor.

Lin Chuanfu was a poor child who grew up eating a lot of food. In the early years of Daye, when Lin Chuanfu was only 14 years old, because he was begging for food in front of the general office of the Ministry of Industry, he was arrested by the government and used as a craftsman.Because of his young age, and because he was not taken in by a regular family of craftsmen, he ate a lot of food and went out to study with various craftsmen. A craftsman, especially good at building general works.

Lin Chuanfu's most brilliant thing was to build a dragon boat for Yang Guang. In the ninth year of the great cause of Yang Xuangan's rebellion, Yang Guang's dragon boat was burned by the rebels when he entered the siege of the Eastern Capital.In the 11th year of the great cause, Yang Guang rebuilt the dragon boat. At this time, 25-year-old Lin Chuanfu became the person in charge. Lin Chuanfu took the lead in the production of the dragon boat. There are main hall, inner hall, east and west halls.There are 45 rooms on the second floor in the middle, and it took him only one year to build it.

It can be seen how powerful Lin Chuanfu's ability is.Yang Guangda was overjoyed, and rewarded Lin Chuanfu as a nine-rank supervisor.Although Lin Chuanfu is not a big official, he can be in the general system, but he is out of the ordinary.Because craftsmen belonged to the humble family in ancient times, no matter how small the ninth-rank official was, he was still an official.

It's like the difficulty for an ordinary temporary worker to become a department-level cadre in later generations, one can imagine the difficulty.

Chen Ying took a look at the list. These 26 craftsmen covered trenches, stonework, large woodwork, small woodwork, sawing, bamboo, tile, mud, brick, kiln, etc. In addition to the twelve types of work, there are also related industries such as ironwork, boat making, and cart making, led by [-] master craftsmen.

Chen Ying was secretly surprised that Li Jiancheng was really kind to him.You must know that although there are more than 36 artisan households in the entire Jiangzuojian, there are only [-] of them with the support level of master craftsmen.In fact, the gold content of each master craftsman is no lower than that of Lin Chuanfu, the supervisor.

Chen Ying roughly explained the style and function of the snow sledge to Lin Chuanfu and others, and Lin Chuanfu really understood it, and immediately organized craftsmen to start making it.

In order to transport military supplies, Chen Ying naturally couldn't use a small snow sled. What he needed was a heavy snow sled. The standard length was 22 feet, and the width of the sled was more than two feet.It can carry more than [-] kilograms of heavy objects.Such a huge snow sledge, as long as it is covered with animal skins, it is no problem to sleep on it.

In just one day, the first snow sled has been built.Lin Chuanfu asked Chen Ying to be notified.

Chen Ying hurriedly came to watch.
