Chapter 22: The Weapon of the State
"Collect the soldiers of the world, gather the Xianyang, sell it as a bell, the golden man twelve, and weigh each dry stone."
After the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, the first emperor Yingzheng issued an edict to take back the army's bronze weapons and gather people to fuse them into money, and replace them with iron weapons to equip the army, but because of the problem of forging technology, it was not popularized in the whole army.
Li Yu was not stupid enough to think that the Qin Empire still used copper cold soldiers.
Iron soldiers are easy to break, and although the blades 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 to the cooling water can be combined with the whole new casting production line, which can greatly reduce the time required for forging.
The quenching time is shortened, coupled with the repeated tempering of the tempering, the iron after the three forgings has been initially transformed into steel.
Li Yu stroked the forging knife in his hand with satisfaction, and couldn't help but say with joy: "Benhou has advanced the forging process of the empire for at least a hundred years, and the three forging Qin blades should be the great killing weapon of the empire. ”
Feng Yansheng's burning eyes stared at the forging knife in Li Yu's hand that flashed with cold light, and said, "The hundred forging steel that Hou Ye said, according to the calculations of the lower officials, 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, Lord Feng will be busy in the future." ”
Feng Yansheng's heart was excited, and he said with a smile on his face: "It's all up to the Hou Ye to promote, if it is necessary in the future, the lower officials will definitely only be the Hou Ye's head." ”
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Lord Feng is polite. ”
The words fell, and the two of them had already arrived in front of Xianyang Palace.
Ying Zheng's face was indifferent, and he said with a hint of strangeness in his eyes: "Meng Qing can arrange it properly." ”
Meng Yi arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, twenty good soldiers in the army have been arranged. ”
Ying Zheng bowed his head slightly, the meaning of anticipation was overflowing, and there was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Immortal Monarch Marquis can always bring unexpected things to me. ”
"Your Majesty's luck is all over the sky, and you have the assistance of the prince and the marquis, so why worry about the immortality of the Huns."
As soon as Meng Yi's words fell, Xiao Huangmen trotted all the way to the front of the palace: "Your Majesty, the prince and his party have arrived at the front gate of the palace." ”
Meng Yi said in a low voice: "Please also ask Your Majesty to move to the teaching ground." ”
Twenty good men in the army put on the bright silver armor brought by Li Yu, holding three forging swords in their hands, their faces were cold, but they couldn't hide the surprise in their eyes.
Seeing Ying Zheng coming, Li Yu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has recently developed a method to increase the strength of the blade on a whim, and today I specially invite Your Majesty to watch it." ”
Ying Zheng's expression changed, and the sergeant wearing the new equipment looked eye-catching, and immediately asked: "The prince is already my humerus, the foundation of the empire, and this action makes me full of expectations." ”
The Qin army is still martial, and Yingzheng is no exception, and the fun for the army is greater than the people's livelihood.
Li Yu couldn't help but arch his hand and said: "These twenty sets of armor blades were created by Weichen with the help of Shaofu Feng Mansion Supervisor, and this time it was evaluated by His Majesty, and it was also to let the imperial soldiers shine in the face of the Hun alien race. ”
Ying Zheng gently bowed his head and said: "In the famous saying of the prince, practice brings true knowledge, since the twenty good men in the army have been arranged for you, I can just look at it." ”
Li Yu also stopped talking nonsense, and immediately cleared his throat and shouted: "You are all the best soldiers in the empire, and now there are ten people wearing new armor, how do you feel." ”
The sergeants in the new armor glanced at each other, and one of them shouted, "Enlightened Prince, the new armor fits the body more closely and is lighter. ”
Meng Yi Wenzhi 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, this set of armor is made of cowhide, and the armor is embedded with iron sheets, and the iron sheets are drilled and sewn with copper wires, and the swords are difficult to hurt." ”
Li Yu's changes to the armor are actually only reflected in the shape and material of the iron plates, which are diamond-shaped and closely fit each other, which are denser than the round and square armor of the empire.
It was useless to say more, Li Yu shouted directly: "You are divided into ten teams to cooperate in pairs, and you can touch the blade or slash the body." ”
As soon as the words fell, the twenty sergeants shot with all their might, and suddenly sparks flew everywhere, and the sound of tinkling gold and iron was endless.
Within half a burn of incense, the armor of the ten men equipped with the new armament was intact, and the other ten had six split armor and four wore armor.
Compared with the blade, the current bronze sword is full of gaps, and the new forging knife is unscathed.
The faces of everyone present changed greatly, and Ying Zheng couldn't help but step forward to pick up the blade of the forging knife and watch, and his expression couldn't help but be happy.
"This should be the killing weapon of the empire, the blade is narrow and sharp, the head of the knife is a right-angled blade, and the blade is half grooved.
I didn't expect Ying Zheng to be a weapons expert, and he could tell the truth at a glance.
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "This forging knife is named Qin Blade, a single blade can be stabbed, it is lighter than traditional swords, but the material is also harder, and the half-body blood groove is used to pierce the enemy's body and bleed......"
Ying Zheng's face couldn't help but show surprise, and said, "Could it be that the prince is familiar with hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield?" ”
Li Yu smiled and said: "Your Majesty said that Weichen has never even been on the battlefield, how can he know what two armies fight against each other, it is nothing more than knowing that the human body itself depends on blood to survive." ”
The expressions of several people present who looked at Li Yu became a little strange, among them, Feng Yansheng changed the most, only to see Feng Yansheng carry a Qin blade, lightly touched the blood groove on the knife and said: "No wonder the prince said that this Qin blade kills the enemy like killing a pig and slaughtering a cow, it was originally used to bleed." ”
Feng Yansheng looked obsessed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This is a treasure witnessed by the old man, and then a wave of arrogance arose.
Ying Zheng put down the Qin Blade, and said with a glint in his eyes: "Qin Blade, what a Qin Blade, a true imperial weapon." ”
As soon as the words fell, the conversation changed again.
"Immortal Monarch Marquis Li Yu, Shaofu Supervisor Feng Yansheng has made meritorious contributions, each rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver money, 100 horses of brocade, and promoted Feng Yansheng to be the third product and military superintendent, and the supervisor of Shaofu was extended."
As soon as Yingzheng's voice fell, it seemed that the reward was very ordinary, but it was better than nothing, Li Yu immediately thanked him for the reward, but Li Yu was already at the top and could not be rewarded.
As for Feng Yansheng, he is already one of the cores of Jiuqing, from the third grade to the third grade and the temporary post of military superintendent, this small change seems to be nothing, the point is to be rewarded by Yingzheng in person, which is of great significance.
Seeing that Ying Zheng actually waved his hand to signal Meng Yi to accept the twenty pairs of armaments, Li Yu hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, can these twenty sets of military armor be given to Weichen......
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a hint of inexplicable smile: "Oh? Can the Immortal Monarch know the laws of the Empire? ”
Li Yu was a little apprehensive in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Weichen knows, but Weichen has to do his best for the empire now, and there are few people around him to protect him, and Weichen is afraid to sleep." ”
Ying Zheng didn't poke it either, Li Yu's little Jiujiu had already been seen clearly by himself, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said with a smile: "Hey, it's that I didn't think about it well, why don't I let Meng Qing arrange two teams of pro-army for the Junhou Mansion?" ”
Meng Yi was shocked in his heart, Your Majesty is the first precedent, but when he thinks about it: Is there still a few precedent set by His Majesty for the young man in front of him? Then he shook his head with some envy.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the system hiding task and integrating military and civilian."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Hidden Quest reward, the number of times the specified character is summoned: 1"
Li Yu didn't expect that the best reward would not come from Yingzheng, but from the system.
