back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 388
How strong is the royal tent pro-rider?Liao's iron smelting and weapon making skills were not very sophisticated, at least hundreds of years behind Dashun, and even the iron smelting technology of the Han Dynasty was not as good.However, as the emperor's personal and direct relatives, they are armed with all their strength at all costs, so the weapons, equipment and treatment of the imperial tent's personal cavalry are the strongest.

It's not that the quality of Liao's weapons is much worse than that of Dashun, but on the contrary, Liao's weapons are generally better than those of Dashun.But good quality does not mean that the manufacturing skills will go up.Because it took Liao Kingdom two or three times, or even four or five times as much time to build the same weapon as Dashun did to build the same weapon!Can the quality exchanged for time be bad!

Refined iron weapons and armor are definitely a luxury in the Khitan army, and usually only officers are qualified to use them.But the imperial tent pro-riders actually popularized the fine iron weapons and armor made by the captured Central Plains craftsmen, and even the horses were covered with armor!Different from the iron armor equipped by the Palace Tent Army, the Royal Tent Cavalry are all heavily armored cavalry!The soldier has a steel helmet.It is covered with layered fish-scale steel armor!On the front and back of the chest, there are two two-millimeter thick mirrors that are as big as dinner plates.The war horse is also wearing a vest, which is leather inside and a layer of iron fish scale armor on the outside, and an iron mask is also worn on the horse's head.

In terms of weapons, the imperial tent cavalry is equipped with advanced steel swords and spears and powerful horse bows. Everyone can open two stone bows, which far exceed the ordinary iron weapons of other armies in terms of range and chopping power.The most important thing is that the horses of the royal tent are extremely special.Not the dwarf Mongolian horses commonly used by the Liao army.Instead, they are all armed with the famous Ili Kazakh thoroughbred horses from the Western Regions, which are called Tianma by the locals.Compared with the dwarf Mongolian horses, the Ili Kazakh thoroughbred horses are tall, handsome and strong in appearance, with strong explosive power, endurance and gravity, and are alert by nature.

The imperial cavalry attaches great importance to daily training, and its training can even be described as cruel.Including bow and crossbow shooting, close combat skills with sword and spear, riding training, and long-distance marching.As the emperor's pro-army, with excellent equipment and excellent soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the royal tent's pro-cavalry can be imagined!Xiang is famous for his ferocity, tyranny, bravery and good fighting skills.No matter how powerful the enemy is, even if they know that they will die, both humans and horses are extremely vigorous and never back down, with a strong desire to fight!In normal times, the royal tent cavalry who specialize in guarding the royal palace tent seldom participate in battles.But once faced with a crisis situation, it is often used as a trump card to turn the tide.

It is precisely because of this that Yelu Chongyuan is so afraid of the imperial tent cavalry.Think about Xiao Feng, he is just a captain of Yuzhang's cavalry, not even the leader of Yuzhang's cavalry, so powerful.If there are more than 2 royal cavalry similar to Xiao Feng, Yelu Chongyuan wants to rebel, how easy is it?
When it comes to the royal tent, Yelu Nielugu died down.Xiao Feng's bravery is incomparable to Yelunelugu, no matter in horse bow or martial arts.Even if Xiao Feng is not the leader of the imperial cavalry, it is because of his seniority, Xiao Feng, who is only 33 years old, although he enjoys the reputation of bravery among the imperial cavalry, his prestige is still not enough.Yelu Hongji also valued him very much, and had an inexplicable preference for this captain with excellent martial arts skills.Otherwise, Xiao Feng would not have been sent to monitor Yelu Chongyuan when Yelu Chongyuan insisted on going south.

Yelu Nerugu said angrily: "The late emperor once said that he would pass the throne to his father, so is it also inaccurate?"

Yelu Chongyuan also knew that his son was very ambitious, but he had no plans.Yelu Nelugu, who was named the king of Wu, the king of Chu, and the military governor of Wu Dingjun, had three glorious official positions. He had no desire for power, but he didn't know the basic methods of power struggle.Even with Liao Xingzong's edict to pass on the throne, so what? Yelu Hongji, who has mastered the imperial tent cavalry, guards, and palace tent army, can Yelu Zhongyuan shake the slightest?

It is said that the Tian family has no kinship, as the emperor, he always paves the way for his son.As for the fellow brothers, it was nothing more than drunken gibberish.Yelu Zhongyuanyu told Yelu Nerugu this truth earnestly, and Yelu Nerugu had nothing to say.It took a long time before he said, "Father, don't we really have no chance?"

After all, Jiang is still old and hot, and the fox is still old and cunning. Yelu Zhongyuan sneered and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Xiao Xulie, who is old and immortal, will be transferred to the northeast soon. Even if I give up the foundation on the east side, Let this old man take all the palace tent army and imperial tent cavalry to pacify the birth Jurchen!"

Hearing this, Yelu Nerugu was overjoyed, and he could see such a simple ending: "At that time, there will be no palace tent army, no royal tent cavalry, only guards, we will kill Yelu Hongji, Then you can ascend to the throne!"

At this time, Yelu Chongyuan poured cold water on him again: "Do you really know that Yelu Hongji is a fool? Even if he can't see it, Yelu Yixin and Xiao Xulie won't be able to see it? You idiot, your thinking is too simple! "

Yelu Nerugu was reprimanded and fell silent.Yelu Chongyuan continued: "Even that kid's queen, Xiao Guanyin, can see it clearly. What we have to do now is to do our best and obey the destiny. If Yelu Hongji is really fooled, he may even personally conquer If so, then our chance has really come! However, that Xiao Guanyin in the palace also holds the military power of the imperial tent cavalry. If Yelu Hongji keeps his hand and keeps the imperial tent cavalry in Shangjing , then we have no chance at all.”

Yelu Nielugu was very puzzled, and asked: "Father commander, isn't this imperial tent cavalry the emperor's personal cavalry? If Yelu Hongji is his own cavalry, why not all of the imperial tent cavalry go out with him?" ?”

Yelu Zhongyuan sighed: "Thanks to my wise life, how did I give birth to such a stupid son as you!"

Yelunelugu was not convinced, and said: "Father, I am so smart, how can I be stupid!"

"Huh, there are some cleverness, but you can't get on the stage. I say you are stupid because you can't see the situation clearly! As long as our father and son are still in Beijing, the royal tent will not all go out with us. Even our father and son The two are still in Liao Kingdom, and half of the imperial tent cavalry will still stay in Shangjing!" Yelu Zhongyuan told the truth, and Yelu Nelugu finally came to his senses.

"But if Yelu Hongji really led the conquest by himself, wouldn't such a good opportunity be wasted?" Yelu Nelugu didn't want to give up. Facing the temptation of the throne, he ignored the consequences of failing to rebel.Like every rebel, he believed he would have the last laugh.But he completely ignored it. With his idiot head and his idiot father, it would be no wonder if he could defeat the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Not to mention that their father and son had offended too many people in the court because they were too domineering.Even if there are people who support them, they are just nobles who have lost their power, the kind who want to fight for their lives.From the perspective of the right time, location, and harmony of people, neither of them has an advantage.Unless Yelu Hongji really led the conquest, they would have a slight chance of success.
