Fuji County Post House

Yan Kui looked at the snake yang vine in his hand, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was feasible, and the greed in his eyes was almost overflowing.

No way, he's short of money.

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, Yan Kui has such a big stall of people under him, who doesn't "ask him for money to eat".

To tell the truth, Yan Kui is a human being in two lives, and he himself is not very attached to things like gold, silver, money, etc., but he has no choice but to do this fucking world, you can't move an inch without money and silver, and you can't do anything.

Therefore, if Yan Kui wants to do things, and if he wants his subordinates to willingly sell his life to him, he has to find a way to make money.

In this way, slowly, Yan Kui was cultivated into a copper-smelling person who tried to pull silver into his arms when he had time.

Just like now, the reason why Yan Kui had the idea of beating Snake Yang Teng was because the money in his hand was almost gone, so someone asked, didn't Yan Kui make tens of thousands of taels in Heifengling before, why did he spend it so quickly.

There is no way, Yan Kui has too many places to use money.

Not to mention, the General Military Mansion asked Yan Kui to form a new army before, and although the government and city were solved in terms of food and salary, Yan Kui was still not very satisfied with the ordnance.

The weapons are okay, knives, guns, shields, and spears are all unified by the Northern Jin Dynasty military, and they are transported directly from the Fucheng treasury, but the armor and horses, bows and arrows are not satisfactory.

…………

First of all, the armor, Yan Kui's original plan was to have all the members of the new army heavy iron armor, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was scolded back by the Fucheng side.

Although the national strength of the Northern Jin Dynasty is relatively wealthy in the Three Kingdoms, the heavy iron armor, which costs a lot of money, is not a mass commodity, and even if there is inventory, it must be given priority to the forbidden army and the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion.

One of these two is the Beijing army in the palace, and the other is the Beijing guard, which is the tip of the heart of the emperor and the imperial court.

Of course, because this adopted son does a lot of work, and the safety of the family depends on him to guard the door, so sometimes the court will also improve the treatment of this adopted son according to the war situation, and sometimes, it will even be higher than the two sons in the capital.

After the adopted son, it is the troops that guard the major towns in the country, that is, the troops led by the four expeditions and four towns of the imperial court, these troops are usually stationed in the fortresses and important cities, and the border fights together, and these troops have to be drawn to assemble and support with the order of the imperial court, and their status in the military is slightly lower than that of the border army, which is equivalent to a nephew.

Below is the government army garrisoned by each prefecture, which belongs to the second-line troops, the combat effectiveness is not high, there is no major war, and the imperial court will not be easily dispatched, of course, the treatment is relatively low, at most it is a distant relative.

And local county-level armed forces like the Qingyuan militia that Yan Kui got before can't even rank in the platoon, and the imperial court doesn't pay attention to these miscellaneous fish at all, and even if it's unlucky, even the prefecture doesn't even care about you.

Now that Yan Kui has destroyed the Black Wind Ridge, he has reluctantly recruited the distant relative of the Fu Army, and he is no longer the dispensable miscellaneous fish he used to be, but he is incomparable with the son of the forbidden army.

Full weight iron armor?

It is estimated that there are no more than three thousand pairs of heavy iron armor in the entire Tong'an Mansion, and Yan Kui dares to ask for half of them.

In the end, under Yan Kui's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Hong Guangbing moved 200 pairs to Yan Kui, not generous, but definitely not stingy, that is, Hong Guangbing owed Yan Kui, plus he felt that Yan Kui was a talent, so he finally relented.

For someone else, two hundred pairs of heavy iron armor, that's all about trying to eat fart............

…………

Although Fucheng was very particular about it, Yan Kui was still a little dissatisfied when he looked at the two hundred pairs of iron armor.

Therefore, Yan Kui paid out of his own pocket and sent someone with a military order to buy heavy armor in the capital's workshop.

This workshop is the business of the Ministry of War, which is subordinate to the official, only supplies the regular army, and the things sold must verify the identity of the buyer, and there are many restrictions, Yan Kui also found a relationship with Hua Wenzheng, so he bought a hundred pairs of heavy iron armor, and the money spent also made Yan Kui feel distressed and didn't sleep well for several days.

However, when he saw hundreds of soldiers wearing full body iron armor, his heart was much more balanced.

The unified system of heavy iron armor of the Northern Jin Dynasty military is chain mail, the armor leaves cover the whole body, and there are more than a dozen parts such as helmets, front breastplates, back armor, round guards on both sides, neck guards, shoulder pads, knee pads, and battle skirts.

The chain mail is complicated to make, the defense is quite amazing, a complete set of armor is dozens of pounds heavy, easy to penetrate, if you want to break the defense, you must use axes, heavy knives, hammers and other heavy weapons.

An elite soldier, in the case of heavy armor, can be one as ten, if it is said that in the original battle of Qinghukou, half of Yan Kui's militia was equipped with this kind of chain heavy armor, and the battle damage could drop by half or even as much as seven or eighty percent.

Yan Kui was going to use this kind of elite heavy infantry to fight bandits, it was like a cannon to fight mosquitoes, and even Xu Yu and Chen Xingxiao under him felt that he was a little too extravagant............

However, Yan Kui himself felt that he could use heavy armor to reduce casualties, why did he use the lives of his subordinates to fill it, Yan Kui, who was a human being in two lives, had a great influence on him with his people-oriented thinking.

…………

In addition to the 200 pairs of iron armor, the other armor distributed by the city is leather armor, which is the regular army equipment of the government army, a total of 1,500 sets, some of which are reserved for daily battle damage supplement.

This Yan Kui didn't have any opinions, mainly because he knew that it was useless to have opinions, and the two hundred pairs of heavy armor had already given him a lot of face.

Therefore, he continued to complain to the city about horses and bows and arrows.

Gyeongju, one of the three major states under the rule of the Northern Jin Dynasty, is connected to the grassland, so it is not very short of horses, and the Northern Jin Dynasty military also has several large-scale cavalry formations, coming and going like the wind, and the sound is like a fire.

Together with the distant relative of the Anfu Army, there is a cavalry of 500 people under his rule, which is the treasure bump of the General Military Mansion.

However, there are many horses in the Northern Jin Dynasty, and there are many horses in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the states and Suzhou are all horse-producing lands, and the 100,000 white feather flying horses under the command of the general Ji Linbing of the Western Zhou Dynasty are known as the first cavalry in the world, crisscrossing the field, and never defeated.

Therefore, in order to resist the elite cavalry of the Western Zhou Dynasty, most of the cavalry teams of the Northern Jin Dynasty were stationed near the border, and seventy percent of the war horses produced in Gyeongju should be given priority to these cavalry units, and the rest should be divided into other teams.

When it is the turn of a "distant relative" like Tong'an Mansion, there will only be some soup and water left, otherwise the General Military Mansion will not value the five hundred cavalry so much.

This time, considering Yan Kui's merit, the General Military Mansion specially transferred twenty war horses to him to serve as mounts for Yan Kui's generals, but Yan Kui was too shameless, seeing that the number of horses given by the city was too small, the lion opened his mouth and asked for two hundred fat and strong war horses.

The matter of the armor of the General Soldier's Mansion has been conceded once, this time he is naturally no longer used to him, and directly refused, Yan Kui took the opportunity to ask for a bow and crossbow, but he was also refused, only allocated 10,000 arrows, and then let Yan Kui figure out his own way.

…………

What can Yan Kui do?

To tell the truth, although Yan Kui is not satisfied, the ordnance given by Fucheng is not bad, and the regular government army of the General Military Mansion is also configured in this way, and some are even inferior to the new army formed by Yan Kui, from this point of view, Hong Guangbing is worthy of Yan Kui.

But Yan Kui is obviously not satisfied with only comparing with the government army, he wants his subordinates to have higher combat effectiveness, but to improve the combat power of the soldiers, in addition to training and training the soldiers themselves, the rest is to improve the superiority of the equipment.

And the equipment of ordinary soldiers is nothing more than armor and weapons, at most they are divided into cavalry and archers, and the rest, with Yan Kui's current level, is not qualified to tinker, so his purpose is to improve the equipment as much as possible in these four aspects.

Now the armor has said before, and the weapons are all unified systems, Yan Kui wants to get some magic weapons and has no iron and craftsmen, as for the war horse, it's not that Yan Kui looks down on himself, he really can't get it.

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the small-scale cavalry is also limited, besides, at present, his main enemies are bandits, and the battles he fights are not surprisingly mountain and forest warfare and siege warfare, in this environment, the role of cavalry is not great, so the most suitable thing for Yan Kui now is to improve the long-range bow and arrow shooting ability of his troops as much as possible.

The bows and arrows given by Fucheng are almost enough to fight, but if they are used by his archers to practice diligently day and night, it is not particularly sufficient, so Yan Kui asked someone to find a relationship, and finally got hundreds of sets of bows and 20,000 arrows from Fucheng.

Although the bow and arrow didn't cost money in it, the public relations fee for ushering in the delivery cost a lot, plus the previous hundred pairs of heavy armor, and the money in Yan Kui's hand was lost by two-thirds.

…………

As for the remaining one-third, I have also explained before that Yan Kuiquan handed it over to Dong Guangming to buy a store, which can be regarded as getting a fixed source of money for himself.

However, after all, these stores have just been prepared, and it is still too early to return to their original costs, not to mention providing financial support to Yan Kui.

Now Yan Kui wants to establish an intelligence network in the three counties, and he needs money everywhere, before he planned to clear a wave of small bandits in Teng County and Chongshan County, in order to meet the urgent need, but now the appearance of Snake Yang Teng made him have another idea.

Although the bandits are profitable, it is only a wave of trading, how can there be a joy of holding a "golden mountain" under their hands.........

"Someone."

Thinking of this, Yan Kui called his confidants and guards, and asked them to contact the dark web sent to Teng County, and pass on his order to let the dark web closely probe the information of the Guo family and Jin San, especially those related to Snake Yang Teng.

The guards took the order and left, and only Yan Kui was left in the room secretly thinking about countermeasures, and at this moment, a system prompt sound came from Yan Kui's head.

[Note that the sages affected by the host using the Juxian card are now less than ten miles away from the host's location, and it is expected that tomorrow morning, the sages will visit the host, and hope that the host will know about it and treat it carefully]

After reading the system prompt, Yan Kui's eyes lit up, he was so busy during this time that he almost forgot about the [Juxian Card], and he didn't know what kind of talent could come this time............

Just when Yan Kui was muttering to himself, there was a city god temple not far from the city gate of Tengxian County.

A fat monk with a round body, suddenly sneezed while asleep, shook his body at will, the fat monk smacked his mouth, and then continued to sleep with the demon pestle in his arms, and after a while, the entire City God Temple snored loudly.
