Chapter 581 Returning to Huacheng

The news that Wu Mingyan was going to Renlingbei camp reached the ears of the dignitaries in Yanshan within a few days, causing quite a stir.

Especially for people from the aristocratic lineage, the sooner Wu Mingyan takes office, the sooner their hard life will end.

Wei Wuji has no time to pay attention to these people's thoughts, because for him, being strong is the root.

Therefore, on September 23rd, he hurried to Guihua outside the Great Wall, where he summoned his cronies and generals.

After the naturalization since the last war, it has now returned to the appearance of a huge workshop, and the larger space here is all given up to those craftsmen.

After witnessing the sharpness of iron weapons in the war, the soldiers recognized the fact that iron weapons are superior to copper weapons.

So they also hope to forge more, and then they can get one themselves, maybe it will be a life-saving thing on the battlefield.

Because of this, they even agreed to give up the school grounds to give more space to the artisans.

Whether it is cavalry or infantry, training is now arranged to be naturalized outside the city, which has never happened before.

Of course, this was also approved by Wei Wuji, otherwise who would dare to be so bold and decide such a big matter privately.

After Wei Wuji arrived at Naturalization, he issued an order to the various ministries to prepare for the review of the army outside the city tomorrow.

Wei Wuji didn't want to see this group of people lose their vigor after a big victory without personally controlling the army for more than a month.

This was something Wei Wuji absolutely didn't want to see. As his direct armed force, he had to ensure that this army could be pulled out at any time, and that it could burst out with strong combat power at any time.

After arranging this matter, Wei Wuji himself naturally did not stay idle, but went straight to the smelting and casting place in Guihua City.

The first thing he looked at was the equipment of the light cavalry that would be produced, including the standard armor and the newly designed saber.

Needless to say, the standard armor is actually a simplified version of the armor of the heavy cavalry, which is more than half lighter, and the armor of the horse is cancelled.

This reduces most of the weight and increases the speed of the cavalry a lot to make up for the shortcomings of the heavy cavalry.

The seemingly simple saber is undoubtedly more epoch-making. In this era when swords and halberds are respected, the ability of sabers to improve cavalry is undoubtedly greater.

As for the quality of the knives, Wei Wuji also has strict requirements on this, and can guarantee that no gaps will be cut by the copper sword when hedging. This standard is definitely a great advantage.

And accompanying Wei Wuji to the iron factory were Chen Zhan and Zhang Xian, because the two captains under them were about to gradually change into light cavalry of iron weapons.

Picking up a saber, Wei Wuji waved it casually a couple of times before turning around and saying to Zhang Xian and the two behind him: "You guys have tried this thing, what's your opinion?"

Now that Wei Wuji has more authority, Chen Zhan and Zhang Xian appear more humble when facing Wei Wuji's inquiries.

After the two of them thought about it, they heard Chen Zhan say, "My lord, this 'saber' is indeed a good thing, but... after all, it has not been baptized in battle, so I don't want to say much about it!"

Standing up to "question" at this time, Chen Zhan is undoubtedly under heavy pressure, but because he has followed Wei Wuji for a longer time, he is still more suitable to say these words than Zhang Xian.

Wei Wuji shook his head, and then said: "Your worries are not unreasonable. As for the baptism in actual combat... you will have a chance soon!"

Chen and Zhan can understand the first half of the sentence, but Wei Wuji said that there is still a chance in actual combat, so they don't understand.

The Huns' attack hurt their vitality this time, do they dare to fight over?Or did Wei Wuji mean to let them fight those paper-like small tribes in the grasslands of Hanoi?
But since Wei Wuji didn't want to say more, Chen and Zhan didn't want to ask more questions. Anyway, as long as these weapons can be tested in actual combat, they will support it with both hands.

For Chen and Zhan, it is impossible for them to have the command of heavy cavalry, so if they want to command such an epoch-making army, their hope naturally falls on the so-called light cavalry.

A group of people walked around the workshop for a few times, and took a rough look at the production situation in each place. Coupled with the explanations from two master craftsmen, Wei Wuji and the others had a general understanding of the situation here.

After leaving here, Wei Wuji returned to the long-lost General's Yamen, but at this time his mood changed.

From the joy of being promoted to a naturalized general at the beginning, to now being the actual controller of the Lingbei camp, Wei Wuji discovered that this position of general is nothing more than the same.

Whenever this time comes, he is particularly prone to fall into memories, recalling the journey along the way.

He stayed in the same place for so long, and the entourage could only obediently follow behind and wait, so many people surrounded the gate of the yamen.

After Wei Wuji turned out of the memory, he remembered that everyone was waiting for him, so he took a step and walked straight to the lobby.

While walking, Wei Wuji said to Zhou Yan behind him: "It didn't take long, it all happened so fast!"

Seeing Wei Wuji's sigh, Zhou Yan said: "My lord, the pearl was covered with dust, but now that the dust has disappeared, the brilliance is fully revealed, so naturally it will soar into the sky!"

The fact that Zhou Yan said these words showed that he still understood Wei Wuji's mind and knew what this young master was feeling.

Wei Wuji also laughed and said: "The days when I was living in Qi State and walking on thin ice, compared with today... it seems like a lifetime!"

Zhou Yan nodded incessantly at this, and it was precisely because of the trip to Qi that Wei Wuji learned to be restrained. Today's achievements are not unrelated to the sufferings in the past.

At this time, Wei Wuji suddenly asked: "Sun Yueyang is still in Linzi?"

Zhou Yan thought for a long time before he remembered that Sun Yueyang was that person, the Prince of Wu who had the same fate as Wei Wuji back then.

Zhou Yan said, "Now that Wu and Qi are on the verge of fighting, he must be having a hard time!"

Wei Wuji couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, he had forgotten about it, now that the border situation between Qi and Wu is tense, it's no wonder Sun Yueyang's life is easier.

"Back then, I had borrowed money from him, but I don't know when I'll be able to replace it!" Wei Wuji sighed.

Almost the same fate, but because of the difference in choices, the status quo of the two is very different.But Wei Wuji would not laugh at others because of this, after all there are still differences between the two.

Zhou Yan said with a smile: "My lord, you are wrong. Since you left Linzi, Mr. Sun often went to and from the wine shop where the sticks were placed. The wine money owed by Lin Linzong must be enough to repay what you borrowed back then!"

Wei Wuji was very surprised that Sun Yueyang was reduced to the point where he wanted to borrow money. It seems that this guy's life is really difficult.

"Okay, send a message to Linzi and tell them that if they can help, they can give Sun Yueyang some convenience!" Wei Wuji said after thinking about it.

Zhou Yan repeatedly said yes, but he didn't expect Wei Wuji to be so affectionate, which was quite different from the ruthless young man he imagined.

"You did a good job in rewarding the soldiers and officers, but I don't know the specifics. You should prepare a bit, and I'll talk about it in detail later!" Wei Wuji said again.

Although Zhou Yan has done everything well, Wei Wuji only knows the general idea, so he still needs to understand the specific details.

Even if it's just pretending, you must hold power firmly in your hands.
