Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 95 Big Plan

When Chen Ying saw this newly built snow sledge, he was instantly attracted.The willow sled was polished as smooth as a mirror. What surprised Chen Ying most was that the entire snow sled did not use a single nail.

"Nails will slowly fall off during the shaking process. It is different with tenons. The tenons are aligned with the rivets and then soaked in water. The wood is stronger than nails when it rises."

Lin Chuanfu looked at Chen Ying, and explained with a smile: "The snow boat invented by General Chen is very clever, but it can be used to load goods and carry people. Just put up a warm shed, put a brazier, and a foot stove, and you'll be fine. It's frozen three feet, and I can't feel the cold inside."

"Not bad, not bad, very good!" Chen Ying nodded and said, "We build at least [-] snowmobiles at one time, half of which are made into warm sheds for people, and half of which are empty frames for carrying goods!"

Chen Ying already knew at this time that Li Jiancheng did not consider Chen Ying to lead the Xun Erfu to Lingzhou, but planned to promote him to a fourth-rank Zhongwu general (Wusan official), who would lead Xun Yi as the general guard with Dong Gongyou There are 800 people from the [-]th regiment of the four prefectures, the Xun Er Mansion, the Yi Yi Mansion, and the Yi Er Mansion to support Lingzhou.

Ordinarily, Chen Ying's age was too young, and Li Yuan would not lead the army with Chen Ying.However, I don't know whether Qin Wang Li Shimin was preparing to see Chen Ying's jokes, or he was giving Li Jiancheng a chance to employ people improperly, but he didn't object.But all the ministers in the court, who have always looked forward to the crown prince, actually seconded the proposal.

Therefore, Li Jiancheng successfully passed Li Yuan, and appointed Chen Ying as a loyal general and led the prince to lead the guard.Li Jiancheng approved that Chen Ying's weapons, armor, and grain were used in four mansions, not in one Xun Er mansion.Four prefectures and sixteen regiments have a total of more than [-] soldiers. In order to avoid non-combat attrition midway, they can only build as many snow sledges as possible.

A leather shed is installed on the snow sledge, just like a carriage, which can hide from the cold, which not only saves the physical strength of the soldiers, but also reduces non-combat attrition.

Chen Ying is a person who stands on the shoulders of historical giants. As Lin Chuanfu opened Chen Ying's thinking, his thinking became active instantly.The carriage can be carried on the snow sledge, why can't the bed crossbow be carried on the snow sledge?

Build it into a snow plow crossbow locomotive?

What about the trebuchet?

What about the chariot?
Is it also possible to build a huge command vehicle?
Partial chariot?

The side-carriage chariot is a chariot invented by Sun Chengzong, a famous general in the Ming Dynasty. He adopted the advantages of Qi Jiguang's chariot formation, and took advantage of the strengths of other families to form a complete set of chariot warfare, which made the Manchu cavalry come and go like the wind. Sigh.The Turkic cavalry came and went like the wind, and this snow sledge could form a moving shield wall as long as it was surrounded from the end to the end. No matter how many cavalrymen looked at this shield wall, they could only sigh in awe.

For the next three days, Chen Ying lived and boarded in the garrison camp of the Xuner Mansion, and discussed with Lin Chuanfu and others about building more functional snow sledges. Under Chen Ying's tinkering, Chen Ying invented one after another. Now, the bed crossbow sledge that can fire three shots of jackdaw arrows (also bed crossbow) when stopped.

Four cauldrons can be loaded side by side, and a cooking sledge for one hundred and twelve people can be made at one time.

It is 33 feet long and [-] feet wide and carries an order sledge carrying eight marching drums.

Lookout Sledge with triple stack of upgrade ladders installed.

A caravan sledge that can let twelve soldiers rest on the sledge at the same time.

What made Lin Chuanfu speechless the most was that Chen Ying actually built a Chinese army command sledge.

The commanding sledge for the Chinese army was invented by Chen Ying, inspired by Cao Cao's serial boats during the Battle of Chibi. He built four sledges for a caravan with a length of 28 feet and a width of about 56 feet. In a wide terrain, four sledges can be used And put them together to form a 24-foot-long, 48-foot-wide huge RV sledge. This huge sledge has an area of ​​nearly [-] square meters, which is enough for Chen Ying to gather the [-]th regiments of the four prefectures and the [-]th brigade generals in the car. More than a hundred leaders held a combat deployment meeting.

More than 100 craftsmen spent three days building more than [-] snow sledges, but the number of snow sledges that Chen Ying needed was far behind.But Chen Ying stayed up all night, his eyes were red like rabbits, Wei Wenzhong persuaded Chen Ying, Chen Ying had to go home to rest.

Chen Ying didn't even take a bath, just put his clothes together and lay on the bed, just fell asleep for less than half an hour, when Chen Qi, the permanent attendant of Ganlu Hall, led a guard of ceremonial decree and more than a hundred people arrived at Chen Ying's mansion with banners and banners.

When the middle official announced the decree, Chen Ying did not dare to neglect, so he had to come out with red eyes to receive the decree.

When Chen Qi saw Chen Ying, he approached Chen Ying and said in a low voice: "My family, abstain from sex at a young age!"

"Hold the grass!" Chen Ying really wanted to explain that he was not what Chen Qi imagined, but Chen Qi waved his hands and said, "This is Zhongzhi, no need to kneel down!"

Chen Ying also hated kneeling and bowing solemnly.

Chen Qi coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said, "I rule the world with literature, and put an end to chaos with military force. And the commander-in-chief Rong will be the pillar of the court and the backbone of the country. He is capable of both civil and military affairs. Contributing to serve you can destroy your achievements and not praise you for favoring your life. General Er Ningyuan and Lieutenant Chen Ying of Zhechong, who burned their salaries and broke through the scriptures. , Liang thieves harassed our Lingzhou, and Er aided the past and the present. He was given the title of Zhongwu General, and the crown prince led the guards. Zhao Lubu's Pi Xun, temporarily Xi Wu Bian, plus Pi Ji, Qin Zai. November [-]th of the first year of Wude."

Chen Ying now has a bit of knowledge in ancient classical Chinese, especially in the application of official documents.Although Li Jiancheng had breathed out early, Chen Ying was still extremely excited when he heard the imperial decree.

There will be more than 670 generals Ningyuan and Captain Zhechong in the future of the Tang Dynasty, and they belong to middle-level officers. However, General Wei Zhongwu, who is led by the right, is a fourth-rank official.In terms of authority, General Zhongwu is equivalent to General Twelve Guards.At that time, the Twelve Guards were equivalent to the twelve major military regions in the country, as their deputy.Chen Ying's military rank at this time should be comparable to lieutenant general or major general.

There is a saying that the ass decides the head, and now Chen Ying is not only thinking about himself, but whether Lingzhou can keep this time.If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.Chen Ying is now frantically preparing. There is no cotton, so he can only process enough down jackets as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be no way to avoid large-scale non-combat attrition with only the greenhouse and sleds.

The Chen family made great efforts to buy duck feathers, but Chen Ying found that there were no more duck feathers on the market, not to mention buying them cheaply, even if they were bought at a high price, they would not be available anymore.Upon receiving the news, Chen Ying was in a hurry.

"what happened?"

Chen Ying looked at Liang Zan and asked.

Liang Zan bowed and said, "It is said that down quilts can be sold for hundreds of quilts for one bed and two quilts. Now every family in the city is buying duck feathers at high prices."

Chen Ying frowned and said, "Who is buying duck feathers?"

"Jingzhao Wei's, Wenxi Pei's, and Jingzhaoyuan's are all buying!" Liang Zan said, "Even Wannian County Magistrate Su Hu secretly asked his family to buy duck feathers for stockpiling!"

"Good buy!" Chen Ying really didn't forget Su Hu's festival and Lan'er's humiliation. In fact, Li Xiaoguang was just holding the knife, and the hand holding the knife was actually the county magistrate of Wannian County.

Knowing that Su Hu was secretly buying duck feathers, a huge plan slowly formed in Chen Ying's head.
