Chapter 125: The Storm is Coming
If the five years of Zhongping can be described as stormy, then the six years of Zhongping can be described as the building will fall!
In the sixth year of Zhongping, the first day of February!
Li Yang received a letter from Han Bao, the content of the letter was concise and to the point: A few days ago, His Majesty suddenly vomited blood, and the Imperial Doctor ordered him to stay in the West Palace, and His Majesty was afraid that his life would not be long in coming!
Li Yang threw the letter written on Zuo Bo paper into the brazier not far in front of him, and the letter was turned to ashes in an instant.
Li Yang got up, put his hands behind his back, frowned, and paced back and forth in the study!
After a long time!
Li Yang shouted outside the study: "Let Fu Bo come to the study to see me!" ”
"No!" The subordinate who was guarding outside the study replied!
About a quarter of an hour or so passed!
Fauber is hurrying in!
Without waiting for Fu Bo to pay homage, he saw Li Yang go straight to the topic with an impatient face, and said: "I have an important matter, and I urgently need Fu Bo to do it personally!"
Seeing Li Yang's solemn face, Fu Bo knew that the matter was serious, so he bowed down and saluted, saying, "But if you are sent, you will never give up!" ”
"Fu Bo and Wang Liang together, led the caravan, took the servants, went to the states and counties, poured the gold and copper of the Liaodong Mansion, and purchased grain and grass!"
Fu Bo frowned slightly, and said: "This matter is not difficult, please rest assured, this matter is wrapped up in me, and I will not disappoint my son!" ”
Li Yang shook his head and reminded Fu Bo: "There is no need to shop around, buy food as soon as you have it, before May, Fu Bo must return to Liaodong with the caravan with grain and grass!" ”
"No!"
Li Yang blessed Fu Bo a few more words, so that he didn't have to go too far, just buy grain nearby!
After Liu Hong's death, the world will be in chaos.
Food is the most real hard currency in troubled times!
There is food at home, and there is no panic in your heart!
After instructing Fu Bo to buy grain, Li Yang personally went to the military camp outside the city, he wanted to see how the famous Liaodong Iron Cavalry trained on weekdays!
After arriving at the barracks, Li Yang motioned to the soldiers to continue training and ignore themselves!
Accompanied by Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, Li Yang climbed the wall and looked condescendingly at the Liaodong soldiers who were sweating in the school field!
Li Yang found that the daily training volume of Liaodong soldiers is very amazing, and in terms of training intensity alone, the army that can compete with it in the world can be described as a handful!
Looking at the Liaodong soldiers in the school field, Li Yang secretly frowned and muttered to himself: "If this goes on for a long time, I am afraid it will cause a lot of unnecessary non-combat attrition!" ”
Li Yang's voice was not loud, but it was enough to reach the ears of Huang Zhong and the others! Sanjiu Chinese Network
"Since the prince took charge of Liaodong, the daily training of the soldiers in Liaodong was formulated by the prince and the marquis, although the practice method is a little cruel, but the results are remarkable, according to this practice, after half a year, you can be selected as a cavalry, a year later, you can go with the army, three years later, you can come and go freely in the desert! Riding and shooting are not inferior to Hu people! Huang Zhong said!
"Hmm!" Li Yang nodded thoughtfully, looked at the dead and alive Liaodong soldiers who were tossed in the center of the school field, and sighed: "The elimination rate is also a little higher!" ”
Liaodong Iron Cavalry has an extremely strict selection system.
For example, a hundred good sons of good families participated in the assessment at the same time, and after passing the layers of selection and assessment, people were surprised to find that the number of admitted people was less than five fingers, which is the norm and is the real one in a hundred!
"Nutrition is particularly important, and it is important to make sure that there is meat in the meal!" Li Yang said to Huang Zhong!
Huang Zhonghui replied with a reassuring look and said, "Don't worry, my lord, Liaodong lacks everything, but there is no shortage of grain, grass and meat!" ”
Li Mantiao has worked hard for more than ten years, tossing the northern Zhuhu enough, and leading the troops to go deep into the Hu land to fight the autumn wind in three days, and the number of cattle, sheep and horses he plundered is millions!
In addition to a part of the bereaved soldiers' families, the remaining cattle, sheep and horses that could not be eaten were made into bacon by Li Man's people, stored in the cellar, and sealed as war materials!
The price of meat in Liaodong can be described as the conscience of the industry!
On the soldier's table, there is meat in the meal, and the life is not too pleasant!
The soldiers of Liaodong are like mirrors in their hearts, Liaodong's meat is not eaten for nothing, and at the critical moment, they need to throw their heads and spill their blood!
They can think about it, anyway, they are dead on the left and right, so it is better to be happy for a day!
Li Yang had the heart to rely on the memory of later generations to give some help to the Liaodong soldiers in training, but when he finished reading all his training content, he was surprised to find that his knowledge reserve was not worth mentioning at all for the Liaodong Iron Cavalry in front of him! It hardly plays any role, and maybe it will have the opposite effect of adding to the snake!
Liaodong Iron Cavalry, strict military discipline, not afraid of death, worth these two points, it is enough to be proud of the group, and the world can also go!
Li Yang encouraged the soldiers, and then left!
There's no place for him here!
After leaving the barracks, Li Yang and Dian Wei rode to an extremely hidden mountain col outside the city!
Within a radius of ten miles, all of them have been under martial law by soldiers, and they are not allowed to enter and exit at will without too many orders, and those who approach without reason will be regarded as spies!
Red Mei personally led people to welcome the arrival of Li Yang and his party, and after the salute, Red Mei said excitedly: "The bow and crossbow have completed the initial improvement, and in time, they can be put into the army!" ”
Li Yang relied on the memory of his previous life, and made a lot of improvements to the bow and crossbow, he single-handedly solved the problem that it was more difficult for the crossbow to open the bow on horseback, and the improved crossbow was more compact and lightweight, not to mention, the key was that it also had a crossbow box.
Li Yang personally drew the paper by hand and ordered the craftsmen to make bold improvements to the bow and crossbow according to the appearance of the drawings.
Add a box-like shell Guo outside the crossbow machine, the various parts of the crossbow machine, use the embolus to load into the Guo according to a certain combination of relationships, and then put Guo into the machine groove of the crossbow arm, so that it saves a lot of unnecessary trouble, and the soldiers only need to bring a few more Guo boxes to save the pain of repeatedly pulling the bow.
Li Yang also made some improvements to the crossbow arrow, after the improved crossbow arrow, the arrow is triangular, there are three blood grooves, after the arrow pierces the human body, the blood is discharged with the blood groove, and the wound caused by the triangular arrow is generally a square hole, and the wound on each side can not be squeezed with each other to achieve a certain hemostasis and healing effect, and this wound can not be bandaged and stopped, therefore, the lethality rate of this shape of the arrow is very high.
The improved bow and crossbow has a range of about 28 to 360 paces, which is definitely the only distance in the world, and this is the credit of Li Yang, he only needs to provide such a concept to the craftsmen, and then the skilled craftsmen can complete it.
The ancients were very smart, and the reason why they couldn't make something was just because of the limitations of the times and the lack of developed craftsmanship.
And when Li Yang proposed a concept similar to "magazine" for them, they immediately drew a gourd to make a crossbow box.
