Become a feudal king from today

"Second brother, why didn't you stop my father? What do you mean?"

Zhao Fang held back his anger. In the morning, he was the first to object to the expansion of the army by King Yan.

His reason was that this was just a small achievement and he could just be rewarded with some gold and silver.

He originally thought that the second prince Zhao Qu would support him, but the second prince never spoke.

"King Yan killed two thousand Beidi soldiers. Such achievements are rare in recent years. How can you say it is a small achievement?" The second prince shook his head.

In the confrontation between Dasong and Beidi, it was rare that they took advantage.

Not to mention Yanzhou, even in the court there was a feeling of fear of Beidi.

ten years ago.

Ning Jin Dusi's 300,000 Imperial Guards were defeated miserably in Beidi, almost wiping out all the elite members of the Dasong Imperial Army at that time.

It was also from that time that the strength of the Dasong royal family dropped sharply, causing the balance between the powerful families to be broken.

Therefore, he knew very well that King Yan's contribution would definitely make his father very happy.

His vocal opposition would not have any effect, but would make his father displeased.

"Second brother, what you said is wrong. My uncle killed 5,000 Beidi soldiers in March this year, and all their heads were sent to the capital. His contribution is much greater than that of King Yan. I don't see my father being so happy. My father clearly doesn't care about my uncle." Don't worry." Zhao Fang retorted.

Zhao Qu sneered, "Okay, although my father likes to have fun, he is not stupid. He did not pursue Yuan Zhoumu's crime of killing a good man and taking credit for it, so he has been particularly kind to the Yuan family."

"You..." The sixth prince choked, then swung his sleeves fiercely.

Those five thousand heads were indeed not from Beidi, but from the people of Yan County.

On the other side, the third prince Zhao Mu was also watching the sixth and second princes.

Next to him are the fifth prince Zhao She and the seventh prince Zhao Ji.

"Third brother, what do you think about your father's gift to King Yan to expand his army?" Zhao She looked towards the top of the city. At this time, his father had already appeared on the city tower.

Beside Zhao Heng is Queen Dou.

"My father is most afraid of Beidi, so he sent General Mo Zhai to Yanguan. It was also because of fear that Ningjin Dusi was defeated, so my father re-employed the Yuan family and ordered the Yuan family to recruit troops to guard Yanzhou." Zhao Mu said.

After glancing at the Sixth Prince, he continued: "Who would have thought that the Yuan family's powerful soldiers and horses would not only fail to encircle and suppress the Beidi people who invade Yanzhou every year, but also try to control Yanguan.

Now that King Yan has established a firm foothold in Yan County, his first achievement is to kill two thousand Beidi soldiers. How can the father be unhappy? It was expected that King Yan would expand his army. Someone would have to check and balance the Yuan family. "

Zhao She nodded, "So, my father intends to reuse King Yan."

"It goes without saying that it is always a good thing to contain the Yuan family with multiple chess pieces." The seventh prince Zhao Ji yawned, "The third brother is still smart and sent people to give gifts to King Yan early."

Zhao Mu smiled proudly upon hearing this, "Whether it's useful or not, it's always good to place a chess piece in Yanzhou. My father probably thinks so too."

As he finished speaking, a rumble of drums suddenly sounded, like rolling thunder in the sky.

Then one hundred prisoners of war were escorted to the Meridian Gate.

Seeing the faces of these prisoners, the officials and nobles nodded one after another.

The appearance of these prisoners was obviously different from that of Dasong people. At a glance, they knew that they were Beidi's servants.

As far as they knew, after Beidi Khan unified the grasslands, he fought in the north and south, expanded his territory to the extreme west and north, and occupied many countries. Even Goryeo, which originally submitted to Dasong, now surrendered to Beidi.

It is from these countries that these servant armies come.

"It seems that King Yan's killing of two thousand Beidi soldiers was not a lie." A minister said.

"No wonder the emperor is so happy."

"Much better than the Yuan family. It is said that the soldiers of the Yuan family are like tigers when they meet the people, but they become rats when they meet the Beidi people."

"King Yan is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. The Beidi people will retaliate for baring their teeth. If he wins this fight, he may lose his life because of it."

"..."

While everyone was whispering, Zhao Heng's voice sounded at the top of the city.

Everyone immediately bowed and listened.

"Beidi border barbarians are like animals. In recent years, they have repeatedly attacked the border and invaded my country... I captured hundreds of them. Today, I beheaded them at the Meridian Gate as a warning to others!" After Zhao Heng finished reading, he pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed at the Beidi prisoners.

The swordsman who had been waiting for a long time swung his sword down, and hundreds of heads fell to the ground.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The ministers and nobles shouted one after another.

The people who were worshiping outside the Meridian Gate also knelt down and shouted long live the mountain.

On the city wall, Zhao Heng showed a satisfied smile, and he was even satisfied in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you want Prince Chun to go to Yan County. I've just been idle, so it's better to let him go." Empress Dou looked straight at her and kept a polite smile on her face. This was for the ministers to see.

"It would be better for King Chun, lest he go to Yan County and lose control of himself, which would be counterproductive." Zhao Heng said lazily.

Let King Chun go, one is for the military supplies of Yanguan, and the other is because he doesn't want the prince to quarrel with him over this matter again.

Queen Dou's smile froze and she stopped talking.

…

"Xu Lie, come on, chop me!"

Yancheng, Beidaying.

Lu Chang was wearing a new type of armor. Different from the scale armor, this armor was like a complete piece of clothing, with all parts of the body covered by metal.

This is the plate armor that was sent not long ago by the Bingzhan Division.

Zhao Xu was also there at this time, sitting on a chair to watch the effect of the two men's fight.

After Yuan Li left, Yan County became peaceful and peaceful again.

However, under the peaceful appearance, none of the agencies under the palace are idle, and they are all actively preparing for the upcoming Beidi Autumn Hunt.

Among them, the Bingzhan Division also delivered a thousand sets of plate armor for the first time.

Seeing this strange armor, the generals of the Beida Camp were attracted.

In order to let the soldiers have an intuitive feel for plate armor, he ordered Lu Chang and Xu Lie to put on the armor and compete.

"Ding, dong..."

The two started to attack, and everyone saw the other's sword slashing at each other's body, making the sound of the iron barrel being knocked.

However, apart from being knocked backwards or falling down by their own strength, the two of them were still very active.

The sword's slashes couldn't hurt them at all, which made them feel like they were playing a game.

At the end of the fight, both of them were tired. Lu Chang simply threw away his sword, rushed over, and pressed Xu Lie to the ground with brute force.

"Hahaha..." The soldiers laughed when they saw this.

While laughing, they also saw that wearing this thing was like putting yourself in an iron bucket, and no part of your body was afraid of swords.

Chang Wei's eyes lit up and he said to Zhao Xu: "Your Highness, this armor is awesome, but it's just a bit heavy."

"So, this armor is for heavy infantry and heavy cavalry." Zhao Xu smiled.

In the cold weapon era, heavy cavalry and heavy infantry were the backbone of war.

For the cavalry, the heavy infantry phalanx was a nightmare.

Charging heavy infantry is almost like charging a wall.

For infantry, heavy cavalry is also a nightmare.

The charging heavy cavalry hitting them was like a one-ton stone flying over them.

However, due to the difficulty and high cost of manufacturing heavy armor, these two arms can only maintain a small number in any army.

And his military division now possesses hydraulic hammer forging technology and is able to mass-produce this kind of armor.

To him, that's all that matters.

Because this means that as long as he is properly trained, he can easily produce elites in batches.

It can be said that production is also a fighting force.
