From the introduction of the longbow, Sun Ji knew that Han Qi's main concern was money, and when he came to the shift, Sun Ji had reached the peak as a soldier, he may have a farther vision, but he did not have an overall vision, and he did not realize that the current lack of money in the Northern Song Dynasty was not an area that he could touch.

After observing the words and looks, he knew what Han Qi cared about, and after getting Zhao Xin's detailed data, Sun Ji was also very familiar with some of the situation of the fortress, and also told Han Qi that the cost of this fortress, the one in front of him, was almost 4,000.

When large-scale construction, it will be a little lower, maybe not less than 3000 guan, but if you reduce the area of the fortress, so that the area is reduced to the current four or five times, the cost can also be greatly reduced, the lowest may reach about 1300 guan, of course, the number of 1300 guan, is estimated, you need to really try to calculate.

1300 guan, which is a huge number for any family, 1300 guan, you can buy 2000 stone rice, what concept does this represent, converted into kilograms in later generations, it is almost 100,000 kilograms, 100 tons of rice, this is a very large number, according to a ton of 4000, 100 tons, is 400,000.

400,000 in the future generations, placed on any family, this number is enough to make this family undergo earth-shaking changes, but in the military, it is absolutely not enough, it can be said to be a very low number.

Han Qi, who was suppressed again, was once again impressed by Miaojiazhuang, a longbow was enough to change the pattern of the Northern Song Dynasty army, so that archers became the mainstream of the Northern Song Dynasty army, rather than heavy infantry.

At that time, the price of 200 wen for a longbow was enough to make Han Qi make up his mind, and this fortress with huge defensive power, linked to the number of 4000 guan, there was no problem at all, it was too cheap, and with the help of this fortress, the poorly trained militia regiment resisted the attack of more than 10,000 powerful rebels, you can know how perverted the defense of this fortress is.

The northwest must be well defended, which is recognized by the Privy Council and the entire military, and without sufficient defense to resist the attack of the Western Xia, the northwest border of the Northern Song Dynasty will never be at peace.

Since Xia Zhu governed the northwest, the Western Xia rebellion began, and the military spending of the entire northwest began to soar, as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, he knew very well that in the second year of Qingli, the expenditure on military spending in the northwest reached an astonishing 8 million per year, which did not include the self-raised funds of various armies, and there were some showdown expenses, why Teng Zijing was degraded, it was 160,000 yuan, and there was no source.

Those who are familiar with the military know that the money is used to raise troops, that is to say, the money used to reward the army, and even the source of the money, is not allocated by the imperial court, but through some border trade and the like, the income is obtained.

But no, no source is not good, this is also the reason why Han Qi did not help, Teng Zijing was too careless, these things that are obviously well known, don't put them on the surface, at least there must be a fig leaf.

8 million guan, of which almost 2 million guan, is used to build cities, lower than the Western Xia attack, respectively, 150 villages, 30 cities renovated, 12 new, these are not even a year of investment, if the total investment, even more than 12 million.

The investment of the city makes the defense of the city a minority, and most of them are replaced by the wall, and the investment in the village is smaller, and it is easier to form combat effectiveness.

However, the investment in the village is small, and the defense is also low, at most it only gives the northwest of the Northern Song Dynasty a certain early warning system, where there is a village, part of the army can be stationed to prevent a small force of troops in the Western Xia, and for a large force, it can also do a good job of early warning, which can prevent a long drive into the country.

It's just that when facing the attack of the army, there is something that is not good, the investment of the stockade is small, the defense is also low, and there are not many soldiers stationed, at most three or five hundred, but once the war starts, as long as these stockades are in the place where the soldiers are attacking, they will definitely be broken for the first time, and it is difficult for the soldiers inside to escape, unless there are war horses.

However, in order to ensure safety and have sufficient warning, these flashy stockades must also be built, otherwise, the entire northwest will become a place where the Western Xia soldiers can attack everywhere.

Even so, the investment in a village is not low, at least more than 5,000 at the beginning, and the follow-up investment includes a variety of materials and equipment, and the total investment in the village exceeds 20,000.

However, the fortress is completely different from the stockade, the defensive strength is completely different, even if there are 100,000, or even a million troops, only a small part can get close, in this case, this fortress is even difficult to break through in principle, at least stronger than the stockade.

Sun Ji gave a detailed introduction, the combination of the fortress and the longbow will produce a unique example, even if it is 5,000, or even 10,000 archers, in the face of 5,000 longbowmen, it can't be suppressed.

Sun Ji also specially pointed out those paper armors, although he was a little deficient in the total of close ranges and the defense of some heavy weapons, but for the defense of long-range bows, it was simply a natural nemesis, in this way, even under the suppression of 20,000 or even 30,000 archers, they could fight back.

As long as there is a counterattack, there will be casualties, the sharpness of the longbow pointed out, let all the archers who besiege the city, under the shroud of his range, in this case, even if it is gradually consumed, it can consume enough archers, 500 longbowmen are not weak, in the explosion, can be used as ten times, or even more archers.

When they are suppressed by the archers, so that the besiegers can climb the city wall smoothly, it doesn't matter, because the height is the biggest obstacle, as long as they are below, the ladders are knocked out one by one, and the follow-up support is abolished, and the warriors who rush to the city head are not jumped, unless they jump from the top of the city,

In this way, the warriors who rushed to the head of the city can only be water without roots and trees without fate, and there is no way to deal with the next offensive, even if there are more personnel, they will be gradually consumed.

Because there are more traps and arrangements in the fortress, as long as the resources are sufficient, they can use the complex terrain of the fortress to annihilate the enemy, and in the process of annihilation, it is difficult to have support to climb to the top of the city.

This is the terrible thing about the fortress, and it is also the root of the fortress's ability to annihilate 4000 rebels.

Such a strong defense, at least Han Qi believes that the defense system that far exceeds all the current city defenses in the Northern Song Dynasty is only 1,300 yuan, although it is still a lot in ordinary families, but compared to the huge military expenditure in the northwest, it is really not a big money, and even a small one can not be smaller.

Even if the current military budget is tight, even if the current treasury revenue and expenditure are not balanced, 1 million yuan of special funds will be set aside from the national treasury for the construction of the fortress.

1 million to build almost 700 fortresses, as long as these fortresses are completed, the entire northwest, will be solid, and 1 million, is just the cost of building a village every year, with the fortress, those vain, there is no way to build the village, do not build.

Han Qi thoroughly understood, what did Sun Ji have in mind after such a detailed introduction, the longbow and the fortress, the two weapons that might change the military situation of the Northern Song Dynasty and even the system of the forbidden army, were both epoch-making weapons.

As the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, in a high position, Han Qi looked farther than Sun Ji, what kind of weapon is the weapon suitable for the use of the Great Song army.

The Divine Arm Crossbow first appeared in Western Xia, and the Divine Arm Crossbow and Whirlwind Cannon were the starting skills of Western Xia, and they posed a huge threat to the Northwest Frontier Army at that time.

This threat made the Northern Song Dynasty notice that the Espionage Department had obtained the physical objects and drawings through a series of efforts and even sacrifices, but after manufacturing, it was found that he was more suitable for the Northern Song Dynasty Forbidden Army than other weapons, so it was promoted on a large scale, but it also took a long time and weakened.

Longbow and Fortress are born with excellent performance, not to mention its cost, which is much lower than ordinary weapons, and even Longbow and Fortress, which are completely combined and play a role, but they are much higher than 2.

When Han Qi uses it, he not only has to consider his own performance, attack power and defense power, but also needs to consider, whether he will be learned by others, in case he is learned by others, isn't that their obstacle?

In fact, on the battlefield, there is no secrecy at all, and even as long as it takes effort, the divine arm crossbow can be obtained, the longbow and the fortress, and you can get it if you are ruthless, but what is the use of getting it,

This longbow is cheap, imitation is not so easy, silk is unique to the Northern Song Dynasty, Liao did not get it, let alone Western Xia, even if it is from the silk, how many, not to mention trees, maybe Liao has some more, Western Xia is basically very rare, it is a desert, which eliminates the possibility of large-scale imitation.

The most important thing, in fact, is still on the people and iron, the longbow has a fast rate of fire, high consumption, and large-scale use, that is, the Northern Song Dynasty can support the lord, the Liao State and the Western Xia, which are not as good as the consumption of people and iron, especially the latter, although the Liao and the Western Xia, both have heavy cavalry, but in terms of scale, it is only a fraction of the infantry armor of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, not to mention the quality.

As long as the longbow is equipped on a large scale, the cost of iron will be an astronomical amount, under a battle, a longbowman may consume 200 long arrows, according to the assessment of the arrow, it is about 20 catties of iron, when this longbowman is 100,000, or even 1 million, this consumption will make the Liao State and Western Xia collapse.

This is especially true of the fortress, the key to the fortress is the cement, as long as the cement is grasped in their hands, even if they learn it, it is only a waste of money and labor, and ordinary materials cannot be changed so high.

Han Qi's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, these two weapons are not only epoch-making, but also weapons that change the entire Northern Song Dynasty army, and they are not easy to be learned by the other party, they are simply God-given Great Song Dynasty artifacts.
