Chapter 172

On the official road outside the city between the rivers, a team of ironclad heavy riders walked in it, and the head of this team of ironclad knights was also dotted with several gorgeously dressed knights, and the front of the head was all extraordinary, wearing a purple robe, and a four-clawed python was also printed on the robe, which was mighty and extraordinary.

In the middle of the procession there were three people tied to horses, and five or six horses were not seated on their backs, but were carrying boxes.

"Zhu Zhenguo, you said that the country is thousands of miles away, why can't you rule the world and stabilize the martial arts?" The young man in the python suit in front of his head suddenly asked.

"Back to Your Highness, Dahua has been in martial arts for five hundred years." An ironclad knight a little back replied.

"Hehe... Fool yourself or you are deceiving the king. Although the python-suited young man asked this kind of words, he still had a smile on his face, as if he knew something in his heart.

"Please also ask Your Highness to clarify your doubts." It's not that Zhu Zhenguo doesn't understand what this King Yan is asking. But I can only pretend to be stupid and don't understand, this kind of topic, royal people can talk about it casually, but Zhu Zhenguo can't talk freely. Just like before he said in front of the emperor that it was a truth to re-ceremonize in troubled times, Zhu Zhenguo usually couldn't say this kind of thing, if he said it and reached the ears of people with hearts, he wouldn't be able to eat it and walk away.

"There are more and more fresh people." Yan Wang Xia Wenhan said such a sentence in a flat tone, which was also something he only knew about in Beihe County for a few years.

To say that the battle of Shangdian is a big victory for a few people, yes, but what if a few people win? The border town of Datong in Dahua is still stationed in hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the city pass is still strong, and the people of Dahua in the border town are getting fewer and fewer. This few people were victorious, but they also suffered heavy losses, and no less than seventy or eighty thousand strong men died in the battle, and the objects of this plunder became fewer and fewer. For the elderly, weak, women, children, young and strong people who are only less than two million together, it is almost a big loss.

More than ten years have passed, and Zhu Zhenguo has grown to be seventeen years old. The young man has also grown, so that's a problem.

"What does Your Highness mean?" Zhu Zhenguo still pretended to be stupid. As soon as King Yan opened his mouth, Zhu Zhenguo said that he knew everything, wouldn't it have extinguished King Yan's sense of accomplishment at all.

"Zhu Zhenguo, Zhu Zhenguo, how can you not understand what this king said, there have been more and more people in recent years, but I am afraid that there will be a big battle soon." King Yan has some opinions, and he is an extremely intelligent person. If this Yan King was not smart, he would not be young and willing to spend a few years idle in this Beihe.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, in the five hundred years of Dahua, this young man has never broken the Great Wall, and it is impossible to succeed in the next five hundred years." Zhu Zhenguo's words can be regarded as comfort.

"Huh. . . I hope so. "Obviously, King Yan has been in the north for a few years, and he still has some understanding of some things in the border towns, and he also has his own opinions, which are obviously negative.

"Your Highness, how about Weichen bring his subordinates to give you a show?" Zhu Zhenguo diverted the topic, he really didn't want to talk about these things with this Yan King, this time is not the time for his own performance, this is a major event in the world, if Zhu Zhenguo really lets go of his hands and feet to talk, he will inevitably say amazing, in this world, this kind of amazing language is a sin. Even if you want to perform, you have to show something else.

"Well, this king is just boring." King Yan is also interested, this team of ironclad knights is extremely elite, King Yan has already seen some of it, this performance must be a martial arts performance, and it is impossible for these people to have other means to perform.

"Everyone's ready." Zhu Zhenguo gave an order.

Prepare to order, all Zhuang Han's hard bows are already in hand.

"First come first." Zhu Zhenguo said this, and the Zhuang Han also knew what the project was, and it was the specialty project of the old soldiers of the Zhu family, and these Zhuang Han also inherited it.

That is the project that the veterans performed on the road from Zhujiazhuang to Qingshan County on that day.

Zhu Shouxing listened to the instructions, drank heavily, and galloped out, only to see Zhu Shouxing's legs clamped on the horse's belly, his body sideways to the side and parallel to the horse's back, with a bow and arrows, and feathered arrows galloped out.

More than a hundred paces away, the feather arrow sank directly into the trunk of a small tree. This is Zhu Qiang's stunt, and Zhu Shouxing has inherited it in hand.

"Good!"

Everyone applauded, with the applause, everyone galloped, Zhu Zhenguo ran in front of the head, everyone opened their bows and shot, and the target was also the small tree that Zhu Shouxing shot before.

For a while, the momentum was amazing, and King Yan was also interested, and the healthy horse galloped to keep up with everyone. There were only a dozen or so men left in the team to guard the three criminals and the evidence.

More than a hundred steps came in an instant, and King Yan had clearly seen that the small tree was full of feather arrows, and everyone was still galloping and becoming a column, and everyone passed by the small tree and stretched out their hands in the air. And he took a feathered arrow from the tree.

When everyone ran over the tree, all that was left was the holes of arrows.

No one in the Zhuang Han took a feather arrow, one was not more, one was not less, and it was returned to the quiver.

Where had King Yan seen this kind of performance, and grinned: "Okay... Ha ha.... Good archery, good archery, good knight. I wish you a unicorn! ”

The galloping horse slowed down, and slowly returned to its rushing state.

"What does Your Highness think?" Zhu Zhenguo pulled open the mask with great pride, and knew in his heart that only such a performance would not be a sin, but would bring honor.

"Haha... Tiger knight, Dahua has tens of thousands of such tigers, why worry about the uneven grassland, Zhu Zhenguo, you are really beyond the expectations of this king. "King Yan may have read a lot of books, but he doesn't know much about military affairs, but he can't see the reason for such an intuitive display of force.

"If you want to have tens of thousands of ironclad knights, how difficult it is, even this piece of equipment costs a lot." Zhu Zhenguo directly said the practical problem, not to mention that these children of the Zhu family have been trained since childhood, but to say that this body of equipment weapons and horses costs two or three hundred taels for a set. 10,000 people? That is two or three million taels, not counting the money and food for maintenance and supply, and the annual income of the Dahua Imperial Court is only four or five million taels. It is really impossible for the imperial court to equip 10,000 such knights alone.

"How many taels of silver do you need for a ride?" King Yan frowned and asked pragmatically.

"Three hundred taels for one ride, not counting silver." Zhu Zhenguo replied directly, at this time, he was not afraid that this King Yan would ask him where he had so much money.

"Three hundred taels for one ride??? But really?? King Yan was also surprised, with an unbelievable look.

"When you go back to Your Highness, you must take it seriously. A grassland horse, seventy or eighty taels, a hundred taels of heavy armor, a dozen taels of a hundred refined steel long knives, six or seven taels of a hard bow in the army, and a cowhide quiver, bow bag, feather arrows, and a vest are also dozens of taels. If it is purchased in large quantities by the imperial court, it should cost a small amount, but it will cost more than two hundred taels in one body. If you add the cost of maintenance and food。。。。。 Zhu Zhenguo also replied seriously, and explained one by one, in the end, he left a statement to show the difficulty of the matter.

"Hehe, Zhenguo, you are rich. In this great world, the country is poor and the people are rich. "King Yan got to the point.

"Your Highness's words are wrong, it should be the poor and rich of the country." Zhu Zhenguo also knew that what King Yan said about the wealth of the people was actually what he meant by saying that the wealthy families were rich, but it was Zhu Zhenguo who pointed out the key points.

"Hmph... King Yan sneered twice, stared at Zhu Zhenguo with his eyes, turned his eyebrows and smiled: "Zhenguo... Interesting. (To be continued.) )
