Chapter 735

"Brother Tai, although what you said is right, through Wang's understanding, the craftsmen of Xixia are very scattered, and the production process of Xixia Qizi Jia is very simple, that is, cold forging.

Then I dare to ask my brother, since my Great Song Dynasty knows that the Western Xia is stronger than my Great Song Dynasty in the craftsmanship of armor making, why didn't my Great Song Dynasty send Xizuo to the Western Xia to spend a lot of money to buy its craftsmen and steal their skills, so that it could be used by my Great Song Dynasty? ”

"With the wisdom of my Great Song Dynasty craftsmen, I only need to know some key issues, and I will definitely be able to make more sophisticated protective gear than the Western Xia, but unfortunately, in the past hundred years, there has been no gain, do you think, is the Xixia people's secrecy too strict, or my Great Song is too neglectful of this aspect?" Wang Yang looked at the fold with a smile.

At this time, Liang Shou, who had been riding his horse and following closely, glanced at Zhi Keshi, who was frowning and silent, and saw Wang Yang's gaze, and plucked up the courage to speak. "Lord Wang, General, in fact, if you really want to talk about it, the last general thinks that he may be able to know a reason or two."

"Liang Shou, tell me why." Zhi Keshi turned his head and nodded towards Liang Shou.

"In fact, the situation in Western Xia is indeed as Lord Wang said, although the forging process of the Qizi armor is very important, but it is not without loopholes, and it is also very simple to say, that is, because in the land of Western Xia, there is little peat, and it is still cold forged with wood charcoal to smelt pig iron......"

Zhi Keshi looked at Liang Shou in front of him with a confused expression, and couldn't help but ask subconsciously. "That's all?"

"Exactly, there are not many iron materials in Western Xia, and iron ore is also quite scarce, so we, well, Western Xia will often exchange salt with smuggling merchants in the Song Kingdom for iron materials, transport them back to China, and forge them......"

Looking at Liang Shou, who was talking in front of him, Zhi Keshi raised his hand and scratched his face, what is it, it's that simple?

As if hearing the voice of Zhe Keshi, Wang Yang said unhurriedly: "It's so simple, but unfortunately, since the Song Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, no one has noticed this, only knowing that the iron armor built is because of peat, that is, the large use of coal, and because of the impurities of coal, the quality of iron has been difficult to improve......

"In addition, let's talk about the matter of Northern Liao, if you think about this matter, Brother Tai is not very clear, that is, the northern border of Northern Liao, which is chaotic all year round, and there are endless wars, and Northern Liao is already difficult to take care of, so I strongly support the Wanyan Department, the most powerful tribe among the female straight people."

"So far, the Wanyan Department has almost occupied the entire land of white mountains and black waters, and the entire female tribe is almost under its control, with a population of more than one million and more than 100,000 elite soldiers, all of whom are outlaws who are not afraid of death. Moreover, the Wanyan Department has already begun to set up its own official offices in the land of white mountains and black waters......"

With Wang Yang's words, Zhi Keshi rubbed his temples, these news were really shocking. "Isn't Beiliao raising tigers, could it be that these news also come from those smugglers?"

"You're really right, it's the information of Beiliao provided by those merchants in order to save their lives." Wang Yang smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"My Great Song Dynasty has always regarded Sun Wu as a soldier saint, but unfortunately, we ignore the famous words of the soldier saint, so that we don't know the enemy's situation, don't know the enemy's situation, how can we fight? And how can you guarantee that the battle will be won? ”

"But you ...... before."

"Little brother, I'm just taking a risk, but who can guarantee that every adventure will be successful." Wang Yang said with a long sigh.

"Victory is not only a matter for the military, but also requires political and intelligence work. It's a pity that my Da Song has never paid attention to these. This is the reason why it is difficult for my Great Song Dynasty to gain an advantage in foreign conquests all year round. ”

Zhe Keshi had nothing to say, because Wang Yangfang slapped his face again and again, making him feel that there was really nothing to continue to defend with a cheeky face.

"Now, we are building a city here, such a big movement, a few days have passed, and there is no movement in Western Xia, why, it is enough to show that Western Xia is actually not much better in their intelligence work.

If my Great Song Dynasty can put more effort into intelligence work, I am afraid that every time the Western Xia army comes to attack, I can give early warning, and my Great Song Dynasty, why is there the defeat of Yongle City and the loss of Suide City? ”

"Therefore, the younger brother has asked His Majesty to set up an intelligence hall in the three states where the younger brother has passed. It's just that the younger brother is short of people here, so today I came to see the construction of this new Yanzhou City, and secondly, I came to find Brother Tai and you borrowed someone. ”

#####

After Wang Yang's explanation, Zhe Keshi also understood Wang Yang's painstaking efforts, so he naturally agreed very happily, and selected a hundred brave and shrewd people among the most powerful scouts and guards under his command for Wang Yang to choose.

And Wang Yang's selection did not let those warriors stand in a row to provoke as Zhi Keshi imagined, but this guy stayed in the tent and met the hundred warriors alone one by one.

Zhe Keshi also wanted to see this little Wang's ability to choose people, and took the initiative to ask to stay to see the fun, in addition to this goods, there were several generals who also left their faces with dead faces.

It's just that they were all driven into the back tent by Wang Yang, and after the warriors entered the big tent next, the questions raised by Wang Yang were not only confused by the warriors who were asked, but even the generals who were hidden in the back tent were also confused.

For example, at this moment, Wang Yang is asking a serious question. "Now it's the stress test, please listen to the first question: because of trivial things and a quarrel with a neighbor, and the problem is not solved, what will you choose, first, go home and drink first, anesthetize yourself, and forget about this annoyance for a while; second, to complain to the government or the elders of the clan; Third, go out for a walk to calm your mind. Remember, you can't answer until you've thought about it. ”

“…… The small, the small one wants to choose two. ”

"Okay, please listen to the next question......" Wang Yang's voice sounded again.

"General, did you say that Lord Wang was really picking and choosing, and why were the questions he asked so strange?"

"Shhh Zhi Keshi glared at the general impatiently, and continued to prickly listen to the answer outside.

Although those questions are very tricky and weird, Zhi Keshi understands very well that Wang Yang's goods will definitely not be untargeted, and there must be a reason why he asks so.

One hundred warriors, Wang Yang spent a whole day of hard work before the inquiry was completed. After Zhi Keshi and the others, who had already heard impatiently, received the news, they rushed back to the camp and saw Wang Yang with a tired face.

"I said Brother Xian, how is it, how many qualified works have you picked?" Zhi Keshi asked Wang Yang with confidence. These candidates are definitely carefully selected by themselves.

"It's good to be able to pass a third......" Wang Yang replied in his voice that seemed a little hoarse because he had asked too many questions.

"A third? This is impossible, they are all folding someone who has personally lived the purpose, they are all good men, how can the pass rate be so low? ”
