Chapter 3 Expedition
'Towards the East Gate Camp, go to the Heyang Bridge at dusk. The sunset shines on the flag, and the horse neighs in the wind. ’
The army marched on behalf of the emperor's force in the feudal dynasty, which was also an extremely exciting event, because Jiang Yin's birth made Lao Zhao see the hope of recovering Yanyun, so for this overseas stranger, Lao Zhao also did what he could.
Jiang Yin's official position on this tour is the hussar general of the six products, commanding 3,000 soldiers, which is a strange thing in the early years of the Great Song Dynasty in the world, you must know that since the glass of wine released the military power, Zhao Kuangyin almost concentrated the military power of the whole country in the unified management of the military department, local generals want to use troops, must get the permission of the central government, if they do not get approval to move troops without authorization, the number of more than 1,000 people, according to the "Song Law" should be executed, the number of more than 5,000 people, that is the capital crime of hanging, Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty's supervision of the army was far greater than that of other dynasties.
The supervision is so strict, but now Zhao Kuangyin still rewarded Jiang Yin with 3,000 elite soldiers and horses, which is enough to see his trust in Jiang Yin, after all, the 1,500 sets of bulletproof clothing gave Zhao Kuangyin too much shock, he really wanted to see if this young man would bring more surprises to himself
The place of farewell is in the Jinshui Pavilion ten miles away from Bianjing City, this pavilion is named because it is close to the Jinshui River, as a well-known farewell place outside Bianjing City, there have been countless times of folding willows to send off the king, drinking and cherishing the scene of farewell, so it is also a place that is recognized as talking.
Early this morning, hundreds of soldiers blocked the section of the road here, the Jinshui Bridge was also stopped, and the army stopped on the bank of the Jinshui River, lined up in a queue, waiting for the emperor's review.
When there was still half an hour before noon, Zhao Kuangyin was surrounded by a group of old ministers, and came to the Jinshui Pavilion by foot, Jiang Yin and Wang Sizong had been waiting in the Jinshui Pavilion for a long time, and saw the emperor's car and foot coming, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to take over.
Zhao Kuangyin is wearing a golden dragon robe today, with a purple silk robe to look very noble, with a crown on his head, sitting on the step of twenty people, the whole person is full of the aura of a mighty overlord.
Today, Lao Zhao also worked hard for the army, and almost all the important ministers in the court were called by him, Prime Minister Zhao Pu, Prince Shaobao Wang Pu, Ministry of Industry Shangshu Dou Yi, etc., as long as the courtiers with some identities in the court came, it can also be seen that Lao Zhao attaches great importance to this army expedition.
When Lao Zhao got down, Jiang Yin and Wang Sizong surrounded him and bowed to him.
"Excuse me, flat." Lao Zhao seemed to be in a good mood today, and with a wave of his hand, he exempted Jiang Yin and Wang Sizong from etiquette.
Jiang Yin raised his head, and saw that there were already a lot of people around the emperor, most of them looked old, these people were wearing official robes embroidered with various patterns, there were green cranes with white wings, there were yellow lion claws, and carp out of the water, in short, the flowers were splendid, which made people dizzy.
While Jiang Yin was looking at these people, these officials were also looking him up and down
Zhao Puzai carefully looked at the young man in front of him, he had already heard of this overseas stranger named Jiang Yinian, a month ago, when he was still in the house to approve the recital, His Majesty suddenly summoned him to see him, at that time Zhao Pu was puzzled in his heart, why did His Majesty summon him in a hurry in this blue sky and white day? Zhao Pusi had no clue about it, as long as he followed the father-in-law who announced the decree into the palace, but he didn't expect that the emperor summoned him to let him see a kind of clothes.
At that time, Zhao Pu felt ridiculous, and hurriedly summoned the prime minister to meet him, but it was just to see a piece of clothing, which was really a faint move, Zhao Pu just wanted to admonish, but Zhao Kuangyin showed him an extremely incredible item: the kind of invulnerability called stab-proof clothing.
This kind of all-black clothing is called body armor, also known as stab-proof clothing, and there is not much difference between wearing it and ordinary clothing, but the magic of this stab-proof clothing is that it can prevent any sword slashing, which can be called an artifact.
Zhao Pu personally tried on this stab-proof suit, Zhao Kuangyin showed that he used double gravity to stab his body, but he didn't feel the slightest, and then His Majesty used five gravity to stab himself, Zhao Pu saw his prime minister's suit was pierced out of a big hole, and he was so scared that he almost collapsed to the ground, but Zhao Kuangyin laughed, Zhao Pu came back to his senses, only to find that there was no trace of injury on his body, obviously His Majesty had already tested this kind of clothing.
At that time, Zhao Pu couldn't believe that there was such a magical thing in this world, which could actually resist the attack of the sword, but His Majesty actually told himself that this kind of clothing was paid tribute by an overseas person, and the overseas person said that as long as there was enough gold and silver, this kind of clothing could be produced, and this young man had already paid a tribute of 1,500 pieces of this armor to the imperial court.
It is no exaggeration to say that this contribution is simply to create 1,500 strong elite soldiers for the empire.
At that time, Zhao Pu was so excited that he couldn't help himself, this overseas person must be used by the empire, and he must be wooed in every way, if he can make 100,000 pieces of this stab-proof suit, then the recovery of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures will no longer be a fool's dream, and the myth of the invincibility of the Liao State is also hopefully broken, and the Khitan must not have imagined that the Central Plains soldiers who are no different in appearance from usual will suddenly become invulnerable gods of war.
Therefore, Jiang Yin asked to go to the border of Yanyun, and secretly had the help of Zhao Pu, he wanted to completely win this young man under the command of the empire, since he was determined to Yanyun, the empire called him his heart, not only to give soldiers, but also to officials, so that he could feel the favor given to him by the Great Song Dynasty
After Zhao Pu looked at Jiang Yin, he didn't talk to him, but whispered something in Zhao Kuangyin's ear, only to see that Lao Zhao also smiled and nodded, and then said to Jiang Yin: "General Jiang, I know that you are young and vigorous, and it is the time of blood, but the recovery of Yanyun is not something that can be completed overnight, sixteen states, fertile land for thousands of miles, don't be in a hurry, as long as you can make more of that kind of stab-proof clothing, within ten years, I feel that my Great Song Dynasty soldiers and Khitan also have the power to fight." Looking at Jiang Yin, Zhao Kuangyin said earnestly.
"Wechen knows, Wechen went this time to find out the temperament of those Khitan people, Wechen knows what to do and what not to do, and for the local festival envoys, Wechen will not let them make any embarrassing decisions."
Hearing Jiang Yin say this, Zhao Kuangyin's expression relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In this way, I will rest assured, I hope Aiqing can defend my territory and protect the peace of the people in the world." ”
"Wechen respectfully follow His Majesty's teachings."
