Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 344
Cangzhou, Chaijiazhuang.

Lan Xiner was discussing business with shopkeeper Zhou Fuzhou, Lan Xiner sat across from her angrily, and said, "Treasurer Zhou, this business is unethical. You treat pig iron as a treasure. I want one hundred thousand catties, and you actually If you don’t sell it, you can sell it at a higher price, why don’t you sell it?”

Zhou Fu, the old fox, said with a smile: "The price of Cangzhou pig iron can only be regarded as the middle-low price in the whole Song Dynasty, but Boss Lan is an expert, but he knows the usefulness of iron very well. Iron can not only be used to make various Tools can even be used to make weapons. Liao and Song have a century-old feud, irreconcilable, how can I sell it to you if you buy so much pig iron."

"Nonsense, I brought more than 5000 horseshoe horses to Chaijiazhuang this year." Lan Xiner was not polite at all.

"Iron pans, kitchen knives, and axes are all provided for you, why do you have to buy pig iron?" Zhou Fu said.

"The price of an iron pot is dozens of times the price of pig iron. Did you let me buy an iron pot and smash it to make iron again?" Lan Xiner said angrily.

"Then I don't care. The owner of the village ordered that it not be sold to the people of Liao and Jin." Zhou Fu said.

Lan Xin'er knew that there would be no results if the conversation continued, so she said, "Okay, then I want to see the owner of Chai."

"Just wait for a few days. The owner has gone out, and I don't know the return date." Zhou Fu flicked his sleeves and left. This little girl is still playing her temper, she is still a little tender.

Lan Xin'er was so angry, but there was nothing she could do about it. Chai Lin was not at home and had gone to Yizhou.

Lan Xiner waited patiently for five days, and Chai Lin just came back.

In the reception room, Chai Lin received Lan Xiner.

Chailin apologized and said, "Boss Lan, I'm sorry, I happened to be away for a few days on business, so I kept you waiting."

Lan Xin'er didn't pick up on it, looked at Chai Lin from all over her eyes, and said, "People always marry one wife, but you are better off, you can marry three at once, you won't be afraid of getting shy."

Chai Lin was at a loss, and said, "My waist is very good, don't worry about it. I heard from Zhou Fu that you want [-] catties of iron at once. What are you doing? You are going to rebel in Liao Kingdom?"

Lan Xiner's nose was crooked, and she said, "Come on, the Liao Kingdom is now only half of its original size, and all the fertile areas in the east have been owned by gold thieves. I bought these irons to make weapons to resist Jin Bing's."

"This." Chailin hesitated.

"Isn't it that you ate too much meat and became a meat eater? Jin soldiers are in full swing. Once the Liao Kingdom is over, the next one will be the Song Dynasty. You don't think your Cangzhou can survive the disaster, do you?" Lan Xiner roared.

Dian Zhengnan stretched his head out at the door to see that there was nothing wrong inside, so he retracted again.

Chai Lin said: "I gave it to you, I'm afraid I will build weapons to fight the Song Dynasty. You have to find soft persimmons."

Lan Xiner was startled and almost jumped up.

"You, how did you know."

Chai Lin said: "This is not a lice on the bald man's head, is it obvious? The Liao Kingdom fought against the Jin Kingdom and suffered a big defeat. Now it is at the end of its battle and is destitute. If the Liao Kingdom still has money, the appointment will let you directly Buy weapons instead of buying iron to build them yourself. In order to cope with the next more intense war, the only way out for the Liao Kingdom is to go south to fight the grass valley. I sell the Liao State Iron and let the Liao State make weapons to fight me?"

Lan Xiner shook her head and said, "You're half right. The Liao Kingdom does intend to go south to attack Caogu, but it's for defense. The Song Dynasty has already formed an alliance with the Jin Kingdom, and intends to attack the Liao Kingdom on both sides. Naturally, the Liao Kingdom will not I will sit and wait for death. You can safely and boldly provide the iron, and I promise that when the Liao soldiers go south, they will not harass Cangzhou."

Chailin turned his mouth to his ears, and said, "Who do you think you are? The general is leading troops outside, how can you control them? If there is a disorderly army, it will be a wild horse running wild."

Lan Xiner smiled and said: "You look so handsome when you are angry, I can give you a thousand Yanyun horses, each of which can be used as a heavy cavalry, in exchange for [-] catties of refined iron."

Chai Lin stretched out his hand and said, "Add five hundred horses."

"You can add me, but you can't add a horse."

Chai Lin ignored her and said, "One thousand two hundred horses, I'll stock up for you as soon as the deal is made."

"It's a deal, but you need to send a boat to the beach to pick it up. These good horses don't cross the border." Lan Xiner said.

The Tianjin area is now in the warring area of ​​the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom. Sometimes it belongs to the Jin Kingdom, and sometimes it belongs to the Liao Kingdom. The two sides are fighting hard.

"Deal, you arrange to prepare the horses, hand in the horses, and deliver the goods. You go to the dock and take someone to check the iron first." Chailin said.

Lan Xiner said, "I believe in you."

"Well, since you're so generous, I won't be stingy anymore, and I'll give you an extra [-] jin of iron. This transaction is top-secret, so don't blame me for being ruthless if anyone dares to reveal a word." Chailin said.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely confidential." Lan Xiner said.

This transaction was carried out very quickly. Chai Lin led the Second Battalion of the Water Army to load the iron, went northward overnight, and carried out the transaction at the simple port along the Haihe River in Liao Kingdom.I have to say that this transaction by Lanjia Commercial Bank is still very honest. The [-] horses are all tall horses, and they are absolutely well-trained horses.

The advantage of the steamship was revealed. It was very fast and came and went like flying. The next day, [-] horses arrived at Dinghai Port. After three days of rest at the seaside horse farm, Chai Lin selected [-] good horses. The horse was sent to the township barracks.

In Baihutang, Chai Lin sits in the middle, and now the soldiers are scattered all over the place, and the bustle of the past has long since disappeared.Wu Song came back from Yizhou because his wife was about to give birth.

Newcomer Qiao Daoqing and He Maling set up the Second Reconnaissance Battalion. They don't have many manpower, don't wear Kai, don't practice formation, and focus on training intelligence and reconnaissance.

Chai Lin looked at the generals, and the newcomer Sun An was on the list. After Sun An came, Chai Lin assigned Sun An to the Daozhong Cavalry Battalion as Lin Chong's deputy. What surprised people was that Sun An's martial arts were very high, and he could compete with Lin Chong. The fight is evenly matched.However, Sun An was born recklessly, so there is still a difference in the formation of troops.As for Niu Gao, who was only 16 years old, he was ordered to be the captain of the cavalry of the personal battalion, in charge of the [-] light cavalry of the personal battalion.

Chai Lin said: "Deputy General Sun, how do you feel about training this month?"

Sun An said: "I have experienced a lot. The training in the heavy cavalry battalion is so strict that it is beyond imagination. The effort to get off the horse is very fulfilling every day."

"I discussed with Battalion Commander Lin and decided to arrange for Vice-General Sun to separate out and form a separate heavy cavalry battalion, which will be organized into the second heavy cavalry battalion," Chai Lin said.

Excited, Sun An clasped his fists and came out, saying: "Sun An feels that he is lacking, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take on this important task. Besides, heavy cavalry needs horses and armor far beyond the wear and tear of light cavalry, so it is not suitable to develop more light cavalry."

Chai Lindao: "Vice General Sun has excellent martial arts skills. I am very aware of this. The establishment of a new battalion of heavy cavalry is also after careful consideration. Although the heavy cavalry consumes a lot of energy, it has a very strong frontal impact and plays a decisive role in the battlefield. The newcomer I bought [-] good horses, which were just used to form the new heavy cavalry. However, the first heavy cavalry battalion has just formed combat effectiveness, so I can't transfer too many people to you, and everything needs you to start from scratch."

Sun An clasped his fists and said, "Since he is valued by elder brother, Sun An Ding should do his best."

Chai Lin transferred Lieutenant General Lu Fang and ten veterans from the First Heavy Cavalry Battalion to assist Sun An.

Then mobilize 290 newly recruited soldiers, a total of [-] cavalry, in addition to [-] auxiliary soldiers such as Huotou army, health soldiers, and logistics support.
