Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 742
Chapter 747
Ran Min didn't ask Ran Ming what the rockets and hand bombs carried by the Qilin Guard were, anyway, he knew that they were another secret weapon that Ran Ming had concocted.When he came outside the city, he saw the light cavalry of Qin State who had been waiting in full battle, Ran Min's face slowly moved.

When it comes to training, Ran Min is no weaker than Ran Ming.In fact, Ran Min is stronger than Ran Ming.After all, Ran Ming is only a half-way monk, and Ran Min, who started to go to the battlefield at the age of 12, has no way to compare with the veteran who has fought countless battles in his life.However, what surprised Ran Min was Ran Ming's fantastic ideas about weapons.

Now the Qin cavalry has been equipped with chain mail, although chain mail is more valuable than Mingguang armor in history.Each pair is as high as 60 yuan, but in fact the chain mail is only made of steel rings, which is not only lighter in quality, but also more flexible.And the defense ability against slashing is better than Mingguang armor.

In fact, the factor restricting the cost of chain mail is technology.In ancient times, steel was made by cold forging, which means repeated forging and refining into steel.However, Ran Ming adopted the steel pouring method to make a large amount of steel, and the steel ring can be poured directly with molten steel, which saves time, money and labor.

No outfit is perfect.

Chain mail is super strong in defense against slashing, but weak in defense against stabbing.And the Mingguang armor is a whole piece or two pieces on the left and right.

But this sacrifices flexibility, and many immediate movements cannot be done.

Ran Ming adopted the method of mixing chain mail and Mingguang armor.

Not only use the bright light armor to take the lead in meeting the enemy's rain of arrows and spears, but also use the flexibility, lightness, and sturdiness of the chain armor to expand the results of the battle.

Especially the crossbowmen, all of them were replaced with chain mail.

Jinyang is an ancient city. According to written history, it was Dong Anyu, a retainer of Zhao Jianzi, the Daqing of Jin State, who first established the city in the north of Taiyuan Basin.

It used to be the capital of the State of Zhao, the prefecture of Taiyuan in the Qin Dynasty, and the prefecture of Bingzhou in the Han Dynasty. He arrived in Jinyang in the spring of the first year of Yongjia (24).

At this time, due to the wars in Jinyang, it has become an empty city.

Liu Kun tried his best to develop restorative production, and built Jinyang into one of the few separatist regimes behind enemy lines in the Western Jin Dynasty.Once the former Zhao Xiongnu besieged Jinyang.

Liu Kun went to the city to sing clearly, and played Hujia in the middle of the night (one said he commanded a group of soldiers to play Hujia). After hearing this, the Huns were homesick and wept.

After the establishment of Wei State, Liu Qun became the founding father of Wei State and Ran Minqian's celebrity.Therefore, in order to show favor to Liu Qun, Jinyang officials built Wenji Temple and Liu Kun's Clothes Tomb in Jinyang City.

At this time, in front of Liu Kun's Wenji Temple, two groups of people were confronting each other.

On this side is General Anbei, who is from the Ji family, and on the other side are Xu Yuan, Jing Zhan, Ran Feng and others.

"Uncle Ji, this is the last time Feng will call you uncle!"

Ran Feng drew out the horizontal knife, and with a sudden slash, cut off a piece of the front of his chest.

"Cutting off the gown, today I, Ran Feng, will break up with you."

Seeing Ran Feng like this, all the soldiers under Ji Ruan's command were filled with righteous indignation and shouted at him endlessly. If Ji Ruan gave an order, they would definitely draw their swords to face each other.

The expression on Ji Li's face became more and more gloomy, his eyes were wide open, and he slowly followed the crowd to sweep across his face, the generals felt that his eyes were like sharp swords, as if they were going to goug out their hearts, and they all shuddered.

"Fenger, you are too impulsive!"

Ji Li said indifferently: "Things are not as simple as you imagined!"

"It's not that simple, how complicated can it be?"

Ran Feng roared angrily: "Royal father loves you as a brother and foot, respects you well, and gradually promoted you from a beggar army commander to such a great general in Anbei, Kaifu Yitong three divisions, You, Bing, Ying, The commander-in-chief of the border army of tens of thousands of towns in the four prefectures of Ping, if your father is in trouble, you just stand by and watch, and don't repay your kindness, is Ji Lu still a human being?"

Xu Yuan pulled Ran Feng.

Chong Ji said: "Old Ji, we have been friends for more than ten years. I, Old Xu, know what kind of person you are. Others don't know, but I, Old Xu, know that you are not someone who can be bought easily. Now that His Majesty is in trouble, how dare you ignore it? You can ignore it, don’t stop me, otherwise, gods will block and kill gods, and Buddhas will block and destroy Buddhas!"

"Surnamed Xu, you can't help but grow up!"

Ji Li roared: "I am General Anbei. Without the order of this General, you cannot move a single soldier. How dare you disobey the military order? Anyone who dares to act rashly will be killed without mercy!"

The generals looked at each other face to face, not knowing why.

At this moment, Jing Zhan moved, and he suddenly burst into flames.

Like a soaring goshawk, it spread its wings and rushed towards Jilu.

Ji Wei saw Jing Zhan rushing towards him, but he didn't panic.

In terms of martial arts, at least one of the world's most famous masters can be ranked in the top ten.

The military generals of the same period were Deng Xia, one of the three tigers under Huan Wen's command, Deng Qiang, one of the two fierce tigers under Fu Jian's command, Zhang Xiao, the bald-haired Wu Gu, Murong Chui, and Jin Qiang who were dead. The combination of slaves and iron slaves can share the same prize with them.

The others, even Ran Min, who had a broken arm, couldn't do anything about him.

Just when Jing Zhan was about to jump on Ji Lun, Ji Lun moved, he turned around and kicked his leg sideways with ease, and kicked Jing Zhan backwards.

Ji Lian's kick was so heavy that Jing Zhan vomited blood from the kick.

This is the reason why Ji Rong didn't kill him, otherwise, even without using a weapon, Ji Rong could kill Jing Zhan in one move. After all, although Jing Zhan's kung fu is good, it is only good.

Ji Li said: "Disarm them, lock them up for a few days, let them calm down first!"

At this moment, Ran Feng shouted: "Which one of you dares?"

Xu Yuan roared angrily: "Old Ji, you are crazy. To tell you the truth, I dared to come today, but I was afraid that I would not die, and I didn't plan to go back. As long as I don't go back within Sanzhuxiang, the people outside the city will look at Xu Yuan. He is dead, and he rebelled in Jiquan. The three prefectures of Youzhou, Ping, and Ying will swear to fight against the rebels, and raise their troops to serve the king!"

Ji Li turned around and shouted: "Did Fan Wenhu hear that? Within the three pillars of incense, and outside the city, three thousand soldiers and horses, all of them were captured alive, and no one should be let go, or they will come to see you!"

Fan Wenhu said: "If you can't complete the task, I will come to see you at the end!"

Ji Li rushed to Xu Yuan and said, "Old Xu, you know my methods, let your men put in weapons and surrender. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices."

Ran Feng said: "Surrender, don't think that the Great Wei only has generals who died in battle, and they don't have the habit of surrendering."

"Really?" Ji Rong said, "I want to see how hard your bones are today!"

As soon as the voice fell, the surrounding soldiers retreated and dispersed at the same time, and densely packed water dragons appeared on the street.

Ancient buildings and houses usually use a lot of wood, which is prone to fire. The water dragon is an ancient fire fighting waterwheel.In fact, the so-called fire dragon cart is actually a wooden box placed on a two-wheeled cart, with bamboo pipes at the bottom as drainage pipes. This water tank can actually be like a nest cart, which can be raised to a height of more than ten feet. The water drains quickly, thereby extinguishing the fire.

Countless water dragons sprayed water dragons at the guards led by Jing Zhan, Ran Feng, and Xu Yuan.

The winter in Jinyang is very cold, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the breath turns into ice.

So many water dragons released water dragons at the same time, drenching Ran Feng and others into drowned chickens.

This is not over yet, as long as the water sees air, it will freeze quickly.

The bows and arrows of the guards led by Jing Zhan, Ran Feng, and Xu Yuan were poured with cold water, and then they were frozen.

Those Anbei soldiers were not polite, they rushed up and kicked them, and then tied them with ropes, and all of them were taken as prisoners.

……

"Have you read "Hanshu Shihuozhi"?"

Ran Min and Ran Ming were riding side by side, and suddenly he asked Ran Ming.

"what!"

Ran Ming suddenly felt that his head was not enough, why did Ran Min ask this question at this time.

However, Ran Ming still replied seriously: "Reporting to my father, there are more than [-] words in the Han Shu Shihuo Zhi. Although I dare not say every word, I still understand the general meaning."

"Dogs cannibals don't know how to eat, and there are hungry people in the wild who don't know how to eat. Therefore, the importance of Guan's family, Li Kui's flat purchase, Hongyang's sheep are all lost, longevity and Changping, and there are also some."

Ran Min asked again: "How do you understand this?"

Ran Ming thought to himself that it was a fluke. In fact, Ran Ming only briefly read the book of Han Shu Shihuo Zhi in this time and space, so he couldn't understand it at all.Classical Chinese in ancient Chinese, if you don’t read it hundreds of times, it’s hard to understand the meaning inside.

But this passage is exactly what Ran Ming read in later life.This is Mencius' accusation against King Hui of Liang, not for his tyranny, but for his poor economic policy.

In fact, this sentence can be understood in another way, that is, bad economic policies are actually more harmful than tyranny.

Just like China in later generations, the economic policy is a bit unflattering.In order to develop the economy, those local officials dare to use any means, especially for foreign-funded enterprises, while they do everything possible to suppress local private enterprises.

Over time, China's national brand and economic development have been extremely difficult.

Just like Ran Ming's Huaqing Group, in fact, it also suffered from such treatment when it was first established.It was Ran Ming's think tank at the time who gave Ran Ming an idea, asking Ran Ming to register and list Huaqing Group in Hong Kong and the United States. After a round, Huaqing Group became an overseas Chinese enterprise. Handy.

Ran Min's seemingly casual sentence actually has a lot of meaning.

The state of Qin is located in the northwest border, with a harsh climate and very little rainfall.

It has been a place of poverty since ancient times.But after Ran Min came to Qin, he didn't see hunger everywhere, but a thriving scene.

When Ran Ming was in Jiaodong Country, it was the barren land of Jiaodong Country.It allowed Ran Ming to build the most prosperous and most economically developed place in Wei State in just a few years.Taking Qingzhou as an example, the entire Qingzhou accounted for more than one-third of the state of Wei, and nearly half of the tax revenue.It's impossible to describe it without a miracle.

Ran Min felt incredible about Ran Ming's miraculous economic means.

Ran Ming thought hard, what does Ran Min mean by this?

Do you want to change economic policy?

"Actually, it's nothing but benefits."

Ran Mingdao: "Without agriculture there is no stability, without work there is no wealth, without business there is no prosperity, without soldiers there is no peace, without soldiers there is no prosperity, and soldiers, farmers, workers, merchants, and soldiers all affect the whole body and should be handled correctly. Only through the relationship between them can the country continue to develop into prosperity and strength.”
