I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 22 The Weapon of the Nation
"Receive the soldiers of the world, gather them in Xianyang, and sell them as bells. There are twelve golden men, and each one weighs dry stones."

After the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, the First Emperor Yingzheng issued an edict to take back the bronze weapons of the army and gathered people to melt them into money, and replaced them with iron weapons to equip the army. However, due to the problem of forging technology, it did not spread to the entire army.

Li Yu was not stupid enough to think that the Qin Empire still used copper cold soldiers.

Iron soldiers are easy to break. Although the weapons at this time have been simply quenched, the efficiency of the finished product is indeed extremely low.

Li Yu's method of adding sea salt into the cooling water, combined with the entire new casting production line, can greatly reduce the time required for forging.

The quenching time is shortened, coupled with tempering and repeated tempering, the ironware after three forgings has initially transformed into steel.

Li Yu stroked the forging knife designed according to the style of the Tang knife in his hand in satisfaction, and couldn't help but smile and said: "This Marquis has advanced the forging technology of the empire for at least a hundred years, and the three-forged Qin blade will be the great weapon of the empire."

Feng Yansheng stared at the forging knife in Li Yu's hand with fiery eyes and said: "The one hundred forging steel that Lord Hou said, the following officials estimate that it will take at least a year, which is really terrifying."

Li Yu put away the forging knife and said with a smile: "That's not in a hurry, Mr. Feng will be busy in the future."

Feng Yansheng was overjoyed, and said with a smile on his face: "It all depends on Lord Hou's promotion. If there is a need in the future, Lord Hou must be the only one who will take the lead."

Li Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master Feng, you are being polite."

As soon as the words fell, the two chariots and horses had already arrived in front of Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng's face was calm, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes, he said: "Meng Qing can arrange it properly."

Meng Yi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the arrangements for the [-] best soldiers in the army have been properly arranged."

Ying Zheng raised his head slightly, his anticipation was beyond words, and there was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "The Immortal King and Marquis can always bring me unexpected things."

"Your Majesty's luck is as good as the sky, and He Chou will not be destroyed by the help of the prince and marquis."

As soon as Meng Yi finished speaking, Xiao Huangmen trotted all the way to the front of the palace: "Your Majesty, the Junhou and his party have arrived at the front gate of the palace."

Meng Yi whispered: "Your Majesty, please move to the teaching ground."

Twenty soldiers in the army put on the bright silver armor brought by Li Yu and held three forging knives. Their faces were stern, but they couldn't hide the surprise in their eyes.

Seeing Yingzheng approaching, Li Yu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I recently developed a method to increase the strength of weapons on a whim, and today I specially invite Your Majesty to watch it."

Yingzheng's expression changed, and the sergeant wearing the new equipment looked eye-catching, and immediately asked: "The king is already my humerus, the foundation of the empire, and I am full of expectations for what I will do this time."

The Qin army favored martial arts, and Yingzheng was no exception. He was more interested in the army than in the people's livelihood.

Li Yu couldn't help cupping his hands and said: "These twenty sets of armor and blades were built by the ministers with the help of Shaofu Feng's supervisor, and this time for His Majesty to evaluate, it is also to make the imperial soldiers shine in the face of the Huns. "

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "According to the famous saying of the prince, true knowledge comes from practice. Since the twenty best soldiers in the army have been assigned to you, I can just watch it."

Li Yu stopped talking nonsense, and immediately cleared his throat and shouted: "You are all the best sergeants in the empire. Now ten of you are already wearing new-style armor. How do you feel?"

The sergeants wearing the new armor glanced at each other, and one of them shouted, "My lord, the new armor fits the body better and is lighter."

Meng Yi heard it and asked: "If this armor is too light, is the defense insufficient?"

Li Yu shook his head and said: "Meng Shangqing doesn't need to worry about it. This set of armor is made of cowhide and embedded with iron sheets. The holes in the iron sheets are connected and sewn with copper wires. It is hard to hurt by swords."

Li Yu's changes to the armor are actually only reflected in the shape and material damage of the iron plates. The iron plates are diamond-shaped and fit closely to each other, which is denser than the round and square armor plates of the Empire.

It's useless to talk too much, Li Yu shouted directly: "You are divided into ten teams to cooperate in twos, you can touch the blade or slash the body."

As soon as the words fell, the twenty soldiers shot with all their strength, sparks flew everywhere, and the sound of tinkling gold and iron was endless.

Within half a stick of incense, the armor of the ten people equipped with new armaments was intact, while six of the other ten people had their armor cracked and four of them wore their armor.

Compared with the blade, the active bronze sword is full of gaps, and the new forged sword is unscathed.

The complexions of the people present changed drastically, and Ying Zheng couldn't help but stepped forward to pick up the forging knife blade to watch, his expressions could not help but be overjoyed.

"This is supposed to be the killer weapon of the empire. The blade is narrow and sharp. The head of the blade is a right-angle blade, and the blade has a half-slot. How important is the design of this time?"

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng is still a weapon expert, and he can tell the truth at a glance.

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This forging knife is named Qin Ren. It can be stabbed with a single edge. It is lighter than traditional swords, but the material is also harder. The blood groove on the half of the body is used for stabbing. piercing the enemy's body for bloodletting..."

Ying Zheng couldn't help showing surprise on his face, and said, "Could it be that the lord is familiar with hand-to-hand combat in the army battlefield?"

Li Yu smiled and said: "Your Majesty is joking, I have never even been on the battlefield, so I don't know why the two armies are fighting hand-to-hand. It is nothing more than knowing that the human body depends on blood to survive."

Several people present looked at Li Yu with weird expressions, among which Feng Yansheng had the biggest change. I saw Feng Yansheng took a Qin blade, touched the blood groove on the knife lightly and said, "No wonder you said This Qin Ren killing the enemy is like killing a pig or an ox, so it was used for bleeding."

Feng Yansheng looked obsessed, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: This is a treasure that the old man witnessed with his own eyes, and then a sense of arrogance arose spontaneously.

Ying Zheng put down Qin Ren, his eyes glowed brightly and said: "Qin Ren, what a Qin Ren, a real weapon of the empire."

As soon as the voice fell, the topic changed again.

"Li Yu, Marquis of the Immortal Monarch, and Feng Yansheng, Supervisor of the Shaofu, will each be rewarded with [-] taels of silver and a hundred pieces of brocade for their meritorious service in research.

As soon as Ying Zheng's words fell, it seemed that the award was very ordinary, but it was better than nothing. Li Yu immediately thanked him for the award, but Li Yu was too old to be able to award the award.

As for Feng Yansheng, he is already one of the core of Jiuqing. From the third rank to the third rank and the temporary position of military supervisor, this small change seems to be nothing. The point is to be rewarded by Ying Zheng face to face, which is of great significance .

Seeing that Ying Zheng waved his hand to signal Meng Yi to accept the twenty sets of armaments, Li Yu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, can these twenty sets of armor be bestowed upon me..."

Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and smiled with a hint of inexplicable meaning: "Oh? Can the emperor know the laws of the empire?"

Li Yu was a little apprehensive, and said in a low voice: "I know this, but now I want to do my best for the empire, and there are not many people around to protect me, so I am afraid to sleep."

Ying Zheng didn't point it out, Li Yu's innocence was clearly seen by him, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he said with a smile: "Hey, I didn't think carefully, or I will let Meng Qing arrange for the Junhou Mansion again. Two teams of pro-military?"

Meng Yi was shocked in his heart, His Majesty was the first to set a precedent, but he thought: Are there few precedents Your Majesty has set for the young people in front of you?Then he secretly shook his head enviously.

Hey~
"Congratulations to the host for completing the system hidden mission, military-civilian integration."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the hidden task reward, the number of times the designated character is summoned: 1"

Li Yu didn't expect that the best reward was not from Ying Zheng, but from the system.

　I wish you all a happy National Day and a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
