The scorching heat finally passed, the early morning was exceptionally cool, and Chai Zhe was also a little energetic when he went to court. The ice cubes in the bronze pillars of the main hall are not very useful in the hot weather, and the previous few court meetings Chai Zhe always likes to put the plank behind his back, and then rest secretly, and be careful not to be discovered by the slaughterers. Let's end it quickly, Chai Zhe thought so, I haven't seen the Huashigang sent by Jiangnan yet.

Zhao Ding, who has not been in the past few days, is full of spirits, "Your Majesty, since the rebel Fang La's army, 54 counties in seven states have been poisoned by him, and the people of the country have been killed everywhere he went...... Zhao Xiang first pointed out Fang La's various crimes in a tone of frustration in accordance with the usual practice. The central idea is to put it in the vernacular: Fang La was born a bad and pus-shedding lowly embryo, and now he is even more demagogic to the people, slaughtering the gentry, and doing all kinds of evil. It must be eliminated as soon as possible, and the world must be restored.

"The archers of Jiangnan and Jianghuai have joined forces and have pressed Fang La to the vicinity of Hangzhou, and they should quickly send generals to capture and kill him in one fell swoop." After Zhao Ding finished playing, he retreated to his position and waited for someone to jump out.

Sure enough, some people on Wang Boyan's side jumped out to oppose it, citing the emptiness of the treasury. The Zhongshu scholar also said a solution, that is, to starve Fang La and the others to death, and the civil and military generals in the palace turned on the taunt mode. Really acting according to the method of that "genius", it is not clear whether Fang La will starve to death or not, and I am afraid that there will be more than a few more than a few people left near Hangzhou.

Wang Boyan stroked his forehead with his hand, and lamented in his heart, "How can the old man have such a pig teammate......"

The court is arguing and arguing, and the problem still has to be solved. After some games, Zhao Ding's proposal for the left command of Nanyang made Liu Chengdong successfully selected, responsible for attacking from the west; Liu Guangshi, proposed by Wang Boyan, had already set up camp near Hangzhou and was responsible for attacking from the south; Jiangmen recommended Yao Pingzhong, a "little captain" from the border army, to attack from the east; Zong Ze, known as a well-known soldier, recommended the well-known Han Shizhong to take on the heavy responsibility of the main attack in the north.

When the autumn grain is put into storage, it is the day of the army. The Great Zhou Dynasty sent 8,000 Northwest Frontier troops this time, and there are generals like Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong, as well as the brave Yao Pingzhong, the citizens of Bianjing cheered, and Fang La's house is finally over!

"Han Shizhong? Liu Guangshi? Yao Pingzhong? Li Xiang looked at the information handed over by his cheap father-in-law, and his brows furrowed.

Liu Chengdong was puzzled while wearing his armor by Su Su: "Liu Guangshi is the one who defeated Dali in Lingnan, Han Shizhong has also fought many battles on the Northwest Front, and Yao Pingzhong is known for his courage in Shaanxi, what's wrong?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, I'm afraid that they will trap people after they go to the battlefield, and it is indispensable to guard against people." Li Xiang snorted, and his heart was full of doubts. Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun were known as the four generals of Zhongxing in the original time and space, but the reputation of the latter two is really not very good, and now there are two people who fight Fang La with their cheap father-in-law, I heard that Zhang Jun is fighting with the Xixia people, so what about Yue Fei?

Liu Chengdong put on his helmet, waited for Liu Susu to buckle his cloak, and walked out in stride. All the high-level officials of Mingyuezhuang have gathered at the south gate, waiting to see Liu Chengdong off. Zhang Tianlei has left Mingyuezhuang, but Zhang Yongnian has stayed, Zhang Tianlei means to let Zhang Yongnian, the nephew of his family, be responsible for the security of Mingyueji.

Liu Chengdong hugged his fists and said goodbye to the old brothers in the village, nodded to Li Xiang again, and got on the horse and left. Li Xiang looked at the east, it was the rising sun, and the orange-red sunlight sprinkled on the red cloaks of more than two hundred knights, which looked particularly magnificent.

Back in the council hall, Li Xiang sat on the top with a golden knife and looked at the two protégés below with a smile. Liu Decheng and Ding Shihang were about to lead their troops into the mountain, and the excitement on their faces could no longer be concealed after these two young men wore black and gray iron armor and knelt down on one knee to receive the copper seal.

Previously, craftsmen such as Lei Cheng and Zhen Laoshi proposed to Li Xiang to recruit various craftsmen and elders with a skill from the homeless, and this strategy has brought great benefits. Some time ago, the shortage of manpower caused by the departure of craftsmen and stewards has been reversed, of course, the selected talents will spend a lot of time learning the various systems of Mingyuezhuang in order to truly integrate.

Li Xiang found a few old craftsmen who made clocks and put them in the laboratory, and their families were treated very well, but they could not leave the village. Those bellsmiths first made a few big bells and put them in the council hall, Mengxue and the new barracks in Mingyuezhuang, and then every once in a while there were a few big bells for takeout to hide people's eyes and ears, but several craftsmen soon put their main energy into the top-secret project.

Few Zhuang people knew about the big killing weapon that Li Xiang had buried in the laboratory, and in the eyes of knowledgeable high-level officials, the biggest gain of Mingyuezhuang from the homeless people was a few craftsmen with rough armor. For various reasons, these precious craftsmen were driven out of the workshops of the Great Zhou Dynasty and became homeless.

Li Xiang and Lei Blacksmith laughed at these people, and Li Mengkong smiled and changed the name of their family, and then changed to the yellow household registration of Mingyuezhuang. China's armor technology has been developed for more than a thousand years, and it is not just the armor that is put on the iron sheet, Mingyuezhuang has really picked up the treasure.

With the addition of homeless craftsmen, the armor workshop is finally no longer an empty shell, and Li Xiang finally chose iron armor as a starting point in the complex forms of armor.

The production process of leather armor is not simpler than that of iron armor, and the raw materials suitable for leather armor are also strictly controlled by the Great Zhou court; The chain mail process is cumbersome, and the secret recipe for the large-scale production of iron wire has always been in the hands of the Bianjing general; Plate armor, Li Xiang thought about it and threw it aside, the smelting level was too rough; The cotton armor has been seriously considered, the process is simple, the protection is passable, and it does not commit the taboo of the Great Zhou court, but the raw materials are too expensive......

Either the material is rare, the process is cumbersome, or the technology is not up to standard, and now Mingyuezhuang does not have the financial resources and energy to study the process of weaving cotton cloth and pressing cotton nails, and the above difficulties can only be slowly solved in the laboratory. Li Xiang, who was in urgent need of armor, chose iron armor as a starting point, and only needed to create a strong and durable small iron piece to solve most of the problems, so Liu Decheng had iron armor to wear.

Liu Chengdong left with some Zhuang Ding, but did not take away a piece of armor from Zhuang Li. The Great Zhou court has armor, and now the use of troops is urgent, and Bianjing will not embarrass the generals in this kind of matter.

According to Xiong Chengwen's statistics, Mingyuezhuang currently has a total of 150 pairs of good and bad iron armor and 210 pairs of leather armor of different old and new. Taking out this data, it is estimated that the border army and the forbidden army of the Great Zhou will pounce directly......

Recruits and homeless young people continued to join the battalion, and the battalion expanded to two battalions of 800 people, directly doubling. The elder brother's battalion led the displaced people into the mountains to survive this time, which is also a necessary process to accelerate integration and form combat strength.

With the support of Mingyuezhuang's advanced iron-making furnace and systematic research methods, the first batch of iron armor was quickly released, but the disadvantage was that it was heavier, and the iron pieces currently created were not as good as those carefully built by the Great Zhou General Supervisor. Most of the soldiers with old qualifications will have a set of leather armor, and the generals above the brand head will be equipped with iron armor as standard. If the soldiers who newly joined the elder brother's battalion want armor, they can only exchange it for their combat exploits, and they can also buy it directly if they have other ways, of course Li Xiang can't ask for it.

Li Xiang knocked on Liu Decheng's armor a few times, "Are you comfortable to wear?" Is it heavy or not? ”

Before Liu Decheng could speak, everyone heard another voice, "Master Qiqi, thanks to the blessing of the good molten iron in our Zhuangzi, this batch of armor can withstand the direct shooting of heavy arrows with a hundred catties of straight bows fifty meters away." For the homeless people holding branches in the mountains, to be honest, the old man felt a bit bullying. The high-level people present laughed, and Li Xiang also looked at this interesting homeless craftsman twice, as if he was called Tang Guohao.

The helmet with the iron armor is composed of two parts, an oval iron helmet and three rows of armor pieces, and it is not yet possible to make the ghost armor that can be pulled down as in Li Xiang's memories. Officers above the head of the brand will also be equipped with figure-eight iron legs to cover the thighs and vital points.

Li Xiang nodded with satisfaction, "Master Tang has a heart, and the public middle school will discuss the matter with you later." You can choose to sell the technology to Zhuangzi and then enjoy piecework wages. You can also choose to get a fixed amount of money every year, you can. In short, Mingyuezhuang will not let those who have the ability suffer, whether it is the old villagers, the new villagers or the homeless people who have just come in. ”

"Oh, how can the old man be virtuous, woo woo~~~" Tang Guohao said that he didn't dare, and thanked him, and didn't forget to pull a few other homeless armor craftsmen to kowtow and thank him. Tang Guohao understood that this kind of treatment was likely to be the only one in Da Zhou, so he was sincerely grateful. may have been rubbed by life for a long time, although he was deeply touched, Tang Guohao's acting skills were clichéd.

may be that his acting skills are too poor, or Tang Guohao's acting attitude is problematic, Liu Sheng, Xiong Chengwu next to him, and Xiong Chengwen, who is in charge of the handover between Gongzhong and Gelaoying, are full of slander. Li Xiang was also speechless, it's okay to squeeze out a few tears, what does it mean to howl?

At this point, the beginning and end of Mingyuezhuang were basically cleaned up, and Li Xiang began to prepare for going to Bianjing. is about to see Bianjing City, which has a population of one million, Li Xiang has always been smiling in his dreams recently, I don't know what kind of prosperous scene the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which resembles the Great Song Dynasty?

That night, Li Xiang leaned against the attic in his nightgown. During the autumn harvest, Mingyuezhuang is especially lively at night. Almost no one in Mingyuezhuang relied on the land for food, but the villagers were still very excited, even high-ranking people like Liu Sheng and Carpenter Xi.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Chinese people have survived for thousands of years, longing for harvest, thirst for accumulation, thirst for better days, and desire for inheritance. Busy planting in spring and summer, harvesting in autumn and hiding in winter, in the harvest of land year after year, the Chinese people survive tenaciously.

At this time, the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the late Northern Song Dynasty in Li Xiang's memory was very similar, and Li Xiang could roughly judge the future situation through comparison, so many people, including Liu Chengdong, the cheap father-in-law, did not understand some of Li Xiang's words and deeds. Li Xiang can't explain in detail, he can't say that he suspects the Jurchens going south, so everyone listens to me, right?

Li Xiang walked into the bedroom, blew out the oil lamp, and sighed. Compare it with the historical celebrities of the original time and space, Li Gang has, Yu Yunwen has, Han Shizhong has, what about Yue Fei? Where is Yue Fei exactly? What about Qin Hui? If you find Qin Hui in advance, kill him directly......

After not sleeping well all night, Li Xiang woke up with dark circles under his eyes and lifted the quilt angrily. "Yue Fei, where the hell are you?!"

"Ahh In the backyard of a farmer's house in Tangyin County, Jingdong Road, a sturdy young man sneezed like a bell. Then he took the iron spear and stabbed it three hundred times, three hundred times diagonally, and three hundred times back, which seemed to have some kind of rhythm.

An old woman walked out of the kitchen and wiped her hands on her apron, "Ah Fei, I'm afraid it's not cold, right?" After dinner, I went to the old man's house in the village to have a look. ”

"I'm fine, mother, don't worry. But you have to take a good look at your legs, the Niu Gao brothers sent fifty yuan, which should be enough. "In late summer and early autumn, the temperature has changed a lot, and Yue Fei has thought of his deceased father again in the past few days, and he is a little cold.

Sitting on the stool, Yue Fei rubbed Yue Yun and Yue Feng's little heads, the two sons were very cute. Coarse noodles and steamed buns, rice porridge, and salted vegetables, the Yue family's breakfast is already good in the eyes of ordinary farmers.

Yue Fei was supposed to eat meat every day, and those who practiced martial arts couldn't do without meat. But when he went home to treat his father's funeral, his family's only family wealth was spent, and if it weren't for Niu Gao and other brothers who often helped him, he couldn't afford to eat salt and vegetables. Now that there is no meat, the work in the field is heavy, and the temperature changes quickly, Yue Fei still insists on boiling his body, and finally catches a cold.

A few years ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty launched the "War to Fight for Land", and was enthusiastic about the Northern Expedition to recover Yanyun's homeland. As a result, tens of thousands of elites plus 100,000 Xiang troops were disabled by the Liao, and Hebei, Shandong, that is, Jingdong Road, was in danger. At that time, the Zhenzhi envoy was ordered by the imperial court to recruit "daring soldiers" to resist the Liao army, and Yue Fei joined the army at that time.

Thanks to his good physique, coupled with the martial arts taught by his stepfather Zhou Tong, Yue Fei quickly won the appreciation of Shangguan and got acquainted with Niu Gao and others. As a result, the system made the adults prepare for a long time, but the attack of the Liao State was thunderous and rainy, and later I learned that the Liao State was also the end of the crossbow.

The system envoy felt that he had finally selected so many killing talents, and he had to earn some combat merits to come back, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. It happened that because of the Liao and Zhou Wars, the Han people, Khitan people in Yanshan and the Han people who could not survive in the Great Zhou began to rob the mountains and repeatedly attacked the county seat. The system made the adults extremely excited, and rushed over with thousands of Yan Zhao warriors, and Yue Fei came to prominence.

Yue Fei, who was on the rise, received the news of his father's death, refused Shangguan's repeated retention, and returned home for funeral. Copper coins need to work hard to earn them, but it is easy to spend them, Yue Fei didn't want to make his deceased father's funeral look shabby, and quickly cleaned and slippery.

My mother-in-law was cleaning up the stone table when she heard a rough laugh outside. Yue Yun and Yue Feng glanced at each other, ran out like the wind, and then saw a big man come in with two little monkeys.

Niu Gao put the two boys down, took out two packets of snacks from his arms and gave them to the two dolls, "Brother Yue Fei, my old cow is like you now, so I can only stay at home." ”

"According to your merits, how can you be a battalion commander and command five hundred fighting men, right? Don't say it yet, let me guess. Yue Fei instructed the Hun family to take out the treasured sauce beef and Cangzhou soju while making fun of Niu Gao.

"You've hated Shangguan, aren't you?" Yue Fei didn't even have to guess to know what good things this thing had done.

Niu Gao was embarrassed, "Ahem, it's that hairless kid who bullies people too much and embraces the exploits of his brothers." Many brothers wanted to support their families with their military exploits, so Lao Tzu found a few men who starved to the sky to make trouble, and the result was ...... That's the way it is, we didn't break anyone, but that guy's Lao Tzu didn't give up, and Lao Tzu came back. Niu Gao drank a bowl of wine, stroked his beard, and looked very arrogant, Yue Yun and Yue Feng, who were eating pastries, looked longing.

"The Fan family is one of the few founding nobles, and now they only rely on face to eat. It's okay to discuss in private, if you put things on the bright side, the Fan family may spit out some of their battle exploits, but they will definitely not let go of a few of you who are fighting without shelter. Yue Fei frowned at the iron gun, and Niu Gao nodded again and again.

Niu Gao's two terrifying round eyes turned around three times, "I heard that Pengju is going to join the army on the west side of Taihang Mountain, how about bringing the old cow?" I kind of understand that no matter what you do, it's most important to follow someone who pays attention to it. ”

"Those killings spread quickly. Go home and clean up, we need to hurry. ”

Yue Fei stayed at home for another ten days, and after his body recovered, he joined Niu Gao and others and went to Hedong to join the army. The orange sunlight shone on the backs of Yue Fei and his party, and the seven-year-old Yue Yun and the six-year-old Yue Feng behind them were dazzled.
