The heavens start from saving Daming

The five thousand infantry of Zhongshan Kingdom have also been upgraded in terms of equipment.

They are also full-time professional soldiers. Li Yunze will pay the sergeants a fixed amount of rations every month to ensure that their families have no worries about food and clothing, so that they can have the mood and energy to hone their skills.

The infantry followed the carts, and their equipment, weapons, military materials, tents, food and grass were also placed on the carts.

After all, there is no army that will fully arm itself when marching normally. In that case, the army will be defeated without waiting until it goes to the battlefield.

The infantry were not equipped with steel armor, because the steel production was insufficient and all were given to the cavalry.

However, with the increase in iron production, the pawns have popularized iron armor.

Except for the crossbowmen who need to move easily, all the melee soldiers have upgraded their armor to iron armor.

Compared with the simplified plate armor of the cavalry, the iron armor of the infantry is much tighter, basically full-cover, and even extravagant enough to equip individuals with iron gloves.

You must know that iron coins were even minted in Han Dynasty, and these equipments were really piled up with money.

The long soldiers in the army are no longer long halberds, but have been replaced by Jumalong spears that are two feet long and nearly five meters long.

Of course, this kind of long spear is usually only used when facing the cavalry attack, and the main weapon is the long rifle.

The blade of the rifle is very long, and it is much more difficult to train than the spear.

But for professional sergeants, this is not a problem.

In addition, many sergeants also carry short spears on their backs, and throwing them out when they are about to fight is also very powerful.

Needless to say, the step bow is standard equipment.

And the most important weapon innovation is that Li Yunze selected a group of elite warriors and equipped them with the Saber!

The blade and handle of the Zanma Dao are very long, and can even be compared with the Bulong.

Raising both hands high and slashing down forcefully, the terrifying lethality is really capable of cutting down even people and horses on the opposite side.

Zhanmadao can actually be regarded as the originator of Modao.

The reason why Mo Dao was not released directly is because the selection of Mo Dao players is extremely strict and requires long-term training.

Li Yunze planned to use the Saber Saber first, and then build the Modao team after controlling the resources of the entire big man.

The infantry, like the cavalry, wore ghost masks (faceguards), iron gloves, iron greaves, and sturdy and wear-resistant cowhide boots on their feet. They were truly armed to the teeth.

When this army arrived outside the densely populated city of Jinyang, it didn't cause much surprise.

The reason is very simple, everyone is wearing common clothes, not wearing equipment.

"Your Majesty."

The father of the master rode his horse and came, "The king sent someone here, saying that he is inviting the king to Jinyang City for a banquet."

"I'm just being polite, so don't worry about it." Li Yunze waved his hand, "Continue on your way, send someone to inform Dai Wang, I'm kind enough to accept it, and I will definitely visit you on the return journey."

It seems that Dai Wang didn't know that the emperor intended to seize Taiyuan County from him.

If he had known, he would definitely not treat guests to a drink, and he would have to bring his troops here angrily to ask for an explanation, and have a king-to-king fight with Li Yunze.

Sure enough, it was polite here, after seeing Li Yunze decline, Dai Wang didn't send anyone over.

On the contrary, the prime minister of the Dai State accompanied him all the way, arranging for the counties and counties along the way to provide supplies, arrange accommodation, etc., until the soldiers and horses were sent out of the Dai State.

Of course, this was not because the prime minister of the Dai Kingdom wanted to join Li Yunze, but because Li Yunze came this time with an imperial decree and a tiger talisman, and he was the real commander-in-chief of the general.

Although it is not necessary to fight, but holding the imperial decree and the tiger talisman represents the emperor, how can it be neglected.

If he is negligent, a memorial will be sent to Chang'an City, and his king will be reprimanded, or even fined.

Compared with coming here disguised as a caravan before, the treatment this time is really different.

In the words of this era, this is righteousness and fame!
Li Yunze inspected the situation of Taiyuan County along the way, and he was indeed worthy of the title of a rich place.

The good fields on both sides of the Fen River are criss-crossed, and the water conservancy facilities and ditches are well maintained. Almost all the first-class paddy fields can be seen.

The fields are fertile and the natural grain harvest is very high.

More food will naturally feed more people.

All the counties passing by along the way are densely populated, with a village in three miles and a village in five miles.

Li Yunze estimated that the population of Taiyuan County may even be close to 150 million, which is a countable county with a large population in the whole Han Dynasty.

In addition, the road system here is well maintained, and there is an endless stream of caravans coming from south to north.

What's more, this place is rich in coal and iron, and the dense forest makes the smelting industry very developed.

No wonder the Li family was able to raise troops from Jinyang and then sweep the world.

The capital here is really too strong.

"It's a good place, I want it!"

Pass Yanmen, travel to Mayi, and reach the Great Wall to kill the tiger.

Zhu Fuyan ran to the pass to hand over the documents to the defenders, and the army stopped outside the pass to rest for a while.

Gong Sunhong, who was in charge of the rear army, rode his horse hastily to salute and said, "Your Majesty, there are less than a hundred people left to follow."

"can."

Li Yunze nodded, "Take these people into the central army and make them auxiliary soldiers."

"Here."

They were talking about those men who followed all the way from Zhongshan Country and Taiyuan County and wanted to join the war at their own expense.

The Han Dynasty was fashionable in martial arts, and if they wanted to get ahead, apart from being able to reincarnate, they could only rely on military merits to win the title immediately.

After all, the traditional system of the Han family is that no one can be called king unless he is Liu, and no one can be named a prince unless he has meritorious service.

Military merit is the only way to quickly improve your status.

Most of these people are rangers, also known as street sneakers and rascals.

This kind of person, Li Guang might like it, but Li Yunze would not be included in the army, so as not to spoil the atmosphere in the army.

In addition, there are landlords, the sons of rich merchants who are not the sons of the eldest son, who cannot inherit the family business.

The quality of these people is much higher, not only many of them have been taught by famous teachers since they were young, they can ride horses and shoot arrows, dance with long halberds, and chop straw people.Moreover, most of them have rich family resources, and their families are willing to spend money for them in order to find a future for them.

So they rode horses, carried bows, and carried all kinds of weapons to follow all the way and wanted to join the army.

Of course, no one would dare to wear armor in front of the officers and soldiers, for that would cut their heads off.

The big man can't help but use swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows and arrows, but he will be punished as treason for hiding armor.

After Li Yunze made it clear that he refused, most of the people had dispersed on the road.

At this time, he traveled all the way across Yanmen County and came to this remote Tiger Killing Pass, and only those who could persevere were eligible to be kept by Li Yunze.

Even if they stayed, they could only serve as auxiliary soldiers first.

The guard who killed the tiger's mouth soon came to Li Yunze to pay homage, claiming to be a subordinate, and honored as a general.

The Emperor Liu Qi's imperial edict was clearly written, Li Yunze could mobilize soldiers and horses from Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang and Yanmen prefectures in the North, and become the actual commander-in-chief of worshiping generals.

The defenders who killed Hukou were naturally among them.

Li Yunze first asked about the local situation, and then casually asked, "Where is Cheng Buzhi?"

The last time he came here, he kindly rescued Cheng Buzhi, but instead he set him aside and missed a good opportunity. Li Yunze naturally didn't care about it on the surface, but he hated it deeply in his heart.

Now the opportunity came, Li Yunze brought hundreds of pairs of small shoes, ready to be worn by Cheng Bushi in rotation.

Unexpectedly, the guard at Killing Tiger's Gate gave him a surprise, "Cheng Taishou has been transferred to Chang'an City, and served as Changle Weiwei. More than ten days ago, he went south from Killing Tiger's Gate."

"Hey."

Hearing this, Li Yunze's first reaction was not that he had prepared so many pairs of small shoes for nothing, but that he was not stupid and had already started to win over the general.

"Okay, let's stop playing tricks and tricks, and start playing with swords, guns, swords and halberds. You may not know, but I am a master of military and seizing power!"

With the example of the Lu family there, those who want to seize the throne certainly know the importance of soldiers and horses.

In history, Wang Zhi and the others didn't need it because the emperor Liu Qi was on their side.

But now, Li Yunze has already openly taken over the Great Wall Corps with the imperial decree and tiger charms. If Wang Zhi Guantao has no response, then he is too brainless.

Although Liu Qi said in Chang'an City that this time was only temporary, it was mainly for the convenience of Li Yunze to accept those Hun tribes who had defected, and he would naturally regain his military power when the matter was over.

But for a discerning person, there is no need to say anything if they understand everything.

Empress Dowager Dou, who is blind but has a light in her heart, is the most eager person.

Because she could only watch helplessly, as the battle for the heirloom had started from an open and secret fight, with conspiracies and tricks sliding towards the direction of fighting and bowing horses.

Once something goes wrong, it will be another Seven Kings Rebellion.

This time, I don't know if there is any good luck to win quietly.

The old lady's heart is like a bright mirror, she is very clear about who's thinking.

But the problem is, the ears are soft.

Knowing that the emperor intends to win the prince, but he is reluctant to part with Liu Zhi and Chen Ajiao, and wants to push Liu Zhi to the top.

Especially after being disappointed with Liu Wu, he put all his thoughts on Liu Zhi.

Before she knew it, she became the mastermind behind Tao Duosi Group in Wang Zhiguan, and gradually stood on the opposite side with the emperor Liu Qi.

In Queen Mother Dou's view, she is for the good of everyone.

I am good, Liu Zhi is good, Chen Ajiao is good, Guan Tao is good, and the emperor is naturally good. After all, Liu She is also the son of the emperor, right?

But in Liu Qi's view, this is Chi Guoguo's intervention in the imperial power, trampling the emperor's majesty under his feet.

"Whoever I want to pass on the throne to, then I can pass it on. No one can tell me what to do!"

If you can't even grasp the power of Li Chu, then what the emperor does is no different from a puppet.

Empress Dowager Dou felt that she was doing it for Liu Qi's good, but Liu Qi obviously didn't think so.

The conflicts between the two sides began to accumulate unknowingly, until Liu Qi simply handed over the military power of the Great Wall Corps to Li Yunze.

The deeply stimulated Wang Zhi Guantao Group hastily took countermeasures, that is, they have a good relationship with them, and they have had a dirty relationship with Li Yunze.

Changle Palace also has soldiers and horses, and their strength is not bad.

Liu Qi responded quickly, and immediately transferred Li Guang to Chang'an City as Weiyang Weiwei.

The atmosphere on both sides became more and more intense.

These things that happened far away in Chang'an City did not affect Li Yunze's actions.

At the military point at the foot of the Qin Great Wall, he gathered soldiers and horses from various counties, and a total of about [-] troops were gathered to cross the Great Wall to go out of the Great Wall!
