Reborn Wu Dalang

Li Gang still stayed in Liaoyang City during this time, he wanted to leave the city but couldn't, feeling very depressed. At the end of "" Hua Rong entrusted him with the handling of civil affairs in Liaoyang, and he devoted himself to handling the matter, trying to forget everything related to Liangshan Thought, which made him feel better.

Liaoyang City has experienced several wars, and the population in the city has withered very badly, so Huarong transferred 10 people from Tianfu City. Now the 10 people need to deal with food, housing, and land distribution for these [-] people. It was a very complicated job, but Li Gang handled it in an orderly manner, and Hua Rong was very impressed.

"This Li Gang is really a talent, but unfortunately he is a Confucian scholar!" This is the most regrettable thing in Hua Rong's heart.

If Li Gang wasn't a Confucian scholar, he would naturally be completely united with Liang Shan, and he would never oppose Wu Dong's current Liang Shan thought.However, Li Gang is a Confucian student. After more than a thousand years of "teaching", Confucian students have completely become tools in the hands of the emperor. Confucian students are the most "loyal", but what they are loyal to is not the country, but loyalty to sitting on the heads of the people Blessed emperor.From ancient times to the present, emperors, nobles and common people are in conflict with each other. The emperors and nobles want to exploit the common people, but the common people do not want to be exploited. If the common people are exploited too much, they will even rise up and overthrow the emperor, and then a new emperor will come to power. , to continue the next round of exploitation.Now Wu Dong, as an "emperor", stands on the standpoint of ordinary people and wants to give them a status and dignity that they have never had before. This approach is naturally difficult for ordinary Confucian scholars to accept.

"Governing the country from the standpoint of the common people, rather than from the standpoint of scholar-bureaucrats and landlords and bureaucrats, has never happened since the beginning of the world. I really don't know what the future will look like?" Hua Rong thought to himself.

At this time, someone knocked on the door suddenly, Hua Rong let someone in, and found that it was Shi Xiu.

"General, this is a letter from the governor!" Shi Xiu took out a letter and handed it to Huarong.

Hua Rong took the letter and read it carefully. After reading it, a smile appeared on his face. This letter turned out to be a letter for Li Gang to go back. I believe that Li Gang will be extremely excited after knowing the news.

"Come here, tell Li Gang that he can go back to Korea! Now he's going to be crazy!" Hua Rong laughed.

"General, this Li Gang often nags us, saying that Liang Shan's thoughts are rebellious, and many generals are very tired of him." Shi Xiu also said with a smile.

"Haha, I also know the news, but it is basically impossible for him to persuade us military generals! Since the establishment of the Song Dynasty, the military has been governed by civil officials. The status of civil officials far exceeds that of military generals. Civil and military have been opposed for 200 years. Now that our military generals have managed to gain some status, how can we continue to support the reading people to obtain high positions? By the way, have there been any changes in the Jurchens during this period, and what are they doing now?" Hua Rong said.

"Their soldiers have been entrenched in Guangning Mansion and other big cities, and rarely come out. According to the information we investigated, they haven't made any major moves in the past month." Shi Xiudao.

"Could it be that the Jurchens are really content with the status quo and don't want to take Liaodong back? Or do they have some kind of conspiracy?" Hua Rong frowned. He looked at the map, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "What are the Liao people doing now?" What is the loss of the Liao army in the past six months?"

Shi Xiudao: "Yelu Dashi tried to attack the Jurchens a month ago, but their army was no match for the Jurchens at all. Wanyan Zongwang could easily defeat them without Wanyan Agu fighting. 200 miles south of Zhongjing, everywhere They were all corpses, and the battle was extremely tragic. During this time, the Liao people also stopped attacking."

Hua Rong nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "The people of Liao are not worth mentioning. Like the court of the Song Dynasty, they are completely rotten from the root! Even though Yelu Dashi has a heroic spirit, he wants to change the Liao Kingdom or The status quo of the Liao army is also impossible! Unless he can fundamentally innovate politics and change the mental outlook of the people in a few decades, then the Liao country can still have some hope. Unfortunately, neither we nor the Jurchens will Give him this kind of time. You and Dai Zong continue to observe the Jurchen and Khitan information, and send back any important news immediately."

Shi Xiu took the order to leave, while Hua Rong was still standing in front of the map, thinking about the Northern War.

He tried to launch a counterattack some time ago, but Wu Dong said that it is not the time to continue the war, and he needs to continue to prepare.The reason why the war started last winter was mainly to restrain the pace of the Jurchens, so that the Jurchens could not destroy the entire Liao Kingdom in one fell swoop.Not going to war now is to continue to accumulate strength, and wait until the strength is sufficient before destroying the Jurchens in one fell swoop.Wu Dong has already told Hua Rong about the general factory, saying that a large number of advanced weapons are being produced continuously, and he will not consider the war until the weapons are replaced.

"Come here, bring that set of plate armor!" Hua Rong thought for a while and said suddenly.

So two soldiers brought over a complete set of plate armor. This plate armor is extremely thick, and it gives people a sense of deterrence when placed there.Hua Rong held a sword in his hand and slashed towards the plate armor in front of him, but the plate armor was fine, but the sword in his hand was broken in two.This plate armor is made of steel plates, very strong, how can the long sword of cold weapons split it?Even in the era of hot weapons, the original muskets were unable to break through the defense of plate armor.

"This plate armor is good, but unfortunately it is too heavy! Cavalrymen riding on horses can wear such plate armor. If infantry wear such plate armor, they may not be able to walk. Therefore, the production of such armor Plate armor is of little significance. What is the use of it in an army that has never been mobile? Instead, the plate armor can be simplified. It only needs two iron plates to cover the chest and back, and ropes are used for the shoulders. Just string them together! In this way, the defense power will be far higher than that of pierced armor and scale armor, but the weight will be greatly reduced. Even infantry will have no problem wearing such armor. Moreover, such armor is also easy to wear. Production is much easier than the current full-body armor! It seems that I have to write a letter to the governor to talk about the plate armor." Hua Rong secretly said.

He didn't know that Wu Dong was also thinking about simplifying the plate armor when he was in the ordnance factory, but Wu Dong was not as good as he simplified it.The plate armor mentioned by Wu Dong is still connected at the shoulders, but the plate armor in his mind doesn't need the shoulders at all, it just needs to be strung together with ropes.In this way, the difficulty of production will be greatly reduced, and only the specified iron plate or steel plate needs to be produced.With the ironmaking blast furnace of the ironworks, it is not very difficult to produce such iron plates now.

"More plate armor like this should be produced. If [-] workers work overtime to make this, I'm afraid there will be more than [-] plate armor like this in a year! If our soldiers all wear this plate armor, the defense Strength will be greatly improved." Hua Rong thought to himself.

The armor worn by Liangshan soldiers is some leather armor, or some composite scale armor made of cotton cloth and iron. The strength is very average, like the god arm bow can penetrate directly, and some other powerful bows and arrows can also penetrate such armor, but if it is replaced with plate armor made of iron plates, it is difficult for bows and arrows to pierce through.

War is nothing more than the struggle of spears and shields. If more than [-] soldiers are replaced with such armor, it means that Liangshan's "shields" have completely defeated the enemy's spears, and they will gain an unparalleled advantage on the battlefield. , Even if the enemy's bow and arrow hits the chest and back, it will not be injured, and wearing an iron helmet can almost resist all bows and arrows.

In this case, even if the attacking weapon does not change in any way, the advantage of armor alone will win.

******

In Liaoyang City, Hua Rong was meditating on the map, while in Guangning Mansion two hundred miles to the west, Wanyan Aguda was also meditating on the map.

At this time, someone came in from outside. It turned out to be Wan Yanchang, the general of the Jin Kingdom, and one of the contemporary heroes of the Wanyan family.

"Your Majesty, our messenger has returned from the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao Kingdom's envoy has also come with him. The Liao Kingdom's envoy, he wants to ask to see Your Majesty." Wan Yanchang saluted and said.

"Oh?" Wanyan Agu was stunned for a moment, but at the same time he was also a little angry, just imagine that he is the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, how can a little envoy from the Liao Kingdom see him?Generally speaking, to arrange such an envoy, only one general is needed.

"Your Majesty, the identity of this envoy is extraordinary. He is Yelu Dashi, who is staying behind in Yanjing in Liao Kingdom." Wan Yanchang saw the unhappiness in Wanyan Aguda's heart, and said hastily.

"What!" Now Wanyan Aguda was shocked.Yelu Dashi is one of the most outstanding figures in the Liao Kingdom. Now that the Liao Kingdom has lost most of its territory, Yanjing is already the most important city in the Liao Kingdom. With the emperor of the Liao Kingdom missing, staying in Yanjing is equivalent to The highest official of the Liao Kingdom.This person actually came to the Jurchen territory in person regardless of the danger, how could Wanyan Aguda not be surprised?

"How many people did he come from?" Wanyan Aguda asked hastily.

"There are only about ten people in total." Wan Yanchang said.

"This Yelu Dashi is not easy! Very good, I'll go see him!" Wanyan Agu said.To watch the first release without advertisements, please go to ""
