How strong is the Royal Tent Ride? The iron-smelting and weapon-making skills of the Liao State are not very sophisticated, at least compared with Dashun, they are at least hundreds of years behind, and even the iron-smelting technology of the Han Dynasty is inferior. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But as the emperor's personal direct pro-army, he was fully armed at all costs, so the weapons and equipment and treatment of the royal tent pro-rider were the strongest.

It is not that the quality of Liao's weapons is worse than that of Dashun, but on the contrary, Liao's weapons are generally better than Dashun's. But good quality does not mean that the manufacturing technology has gone up. Because the time it takes for Liao to build the same weapon is two or three times the time it takes for Dashun to build the same weapon, or even four or five times as much! The quality that is exchanged for time, can it be bad!

Fine-iron weapons armor was an absolute luxury item in the Khitan army, and usually only officers were qualified to use it. But the Imperial Tent Rider actually popularized the fine iron weapons and armor made by the captured Central Plains craftsmen, and even the horses were covered with armor! Unlike the iron armor equipped by the palace tent army, the royal tent pro-cavalry is all heavy steel cavalry! The soldier had a steel helmet. Draped in cascading fish scale steel armor! On the front and back of the chest, there are two mirrors up to two millimeters thick and the size of a dinner plate. War horses are also dressed in vests, which are leather on the inside and a layer of iron fish scale armor on the outside, and the horses also wear iron masks on their heads.

In terms of weapons, the Imperial Tent Riders are equipped with advanced steel swords and spears and powerful horse bows, and everyone can shoot two stone bows, far surpassing the ordinary iron weapons of other armies in terms of range and cutting power. The most important thing is that the royal tent riding a war horse is extremely special. It was not a dwarf Mongolian horse commonly used by the Liao army. Instead, they were all armed with the existence of the famous Ili Kazakh thoroughbred from the Western Regions, known locally as the Pegasus. Compared to the dwarfed Mongolian horses, the Ili Kazakh thoroughbreds are tall and handsome in appearance, with a strong physique, strong explosiveness, stamina and gravity, and are alert by nature.

The Imperial Tent attaches great importance to ordinary training, and its training can even be described as brutal. This includes bow and crossbow shooting, hand-to-hand sword and spear combat skills and riding training, as well as long-distance marching. As the emperor's pro-army, with excellent equipment and excellent soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the imperial tent can be imagined! Xiang is known for his fierceness, tyranny, bravery, and good fighting. No matter what kind of strong enemy they face, even if they know that they will die, people and horses are extremely vigorous and never flinch, and they have a strong desire to fight! In peacetime, the royal tent rode to guard the royal palace tent and rarely participated in the war. But once faced with a crisis, it is often used as a killer weapon to turn the tide.

It is precisely because of this that Yelu Chongyuan is so afraid of riding in the royal tent. Thinking about it, Xiao Feng is just a captain of the royal tent, not even the leader of the royal tent, so powerful. If there are more than 20,000 royal tent riders similar to Xiao Feng, how easy is it for Yelu Chongyuan to rebel?

Speaking of the royal tent himself, Jerenerugu died down. Xiao Feng's bravery, Yelu Nerugu is incomparable, whether it is in the bow horse or in martial arts. Even if Xiao Feng is not the leader of the royal tent, it is also due to his qualifications, Xiao Feng, who is only thirty-three years old, although he enjoys the reputation of bravery in the royal tent, but his prestige is still slightly insufficient. Yelu Hongji also values him very much, and has an inexplicable preference for this captain with strong martial arts. Otherwise, he would not have sent Xiao Feng to monitor Yelu Chongyuan when Yelu Chongyuan insisted on going south.

Yelu Nerugu said indignantly: "The first emperor once said that he wanted to pass the throne to his father, is it also inaccurate? ”

Yelu Chongyuan also knows that his son is very ambitious, but he is brave and unscrupulous. Yelu Nerugu, who was named the king of Wu and the king of Chu, and the three glorious official positions of the Wuding military festival, had no desire for power, but he did not know the basic methods of power struggle. Even if there is the holy decree of Liao Xingzong, how can Yelu Hongji, who has mastered the royal tent personal cavalry, the guard pro-army, and the palace tent army, be able to shake the slightest bit?

It is said that the heavenly family has no family affection, and as the emperor, he always paves the way for his son. As for siblings, it's just drunken gibberish. Yelu Chongyuan said this truth to Yelu Nerugu with great seriousness, and Yelu Nerugu had nothing to say. After a long time, he said, "Father, do we really have no chance?" ”

Jiang is still old and spicy, and the fox is still old and cunning, Yelu Chongyuan sneered and said: "That's not necessarily, Xiao Xulie, the old immortal, is about to be transferred to the Northeast." Even if I give up the foundation in the east, I will let this old immortal take all the palace tent army and the royal tent personal cavalry to pacify the birth of the Jurchen! ”

When Yelu Nerugu heard this, he was overjoyed, and he could see such a simple ending: "At that time, there will be no palace tent army, no royal tent personal cavalry, only the guard army, we will kill Yelu Hongji, and we can ascend to the throne!" ”

At this time, Yelu Chongyuan poured cold water again: "You really say that Yelu Hongji is a fool?" Even if he can't see it, Yelu Yixin and Xiao Xulie won't be able to see it? You stupid, you think too simply! ”

Jerunerugu was reprimanded and fell silent. Yelu Chongyuan continued: "Even that kid's queen Xiao Guanyin can see it clearly. What we have to do now is to do our best and obey the destiny of heaven. If Yelu Hongji is really fooled, or even takes the royal conquest himself, then our opportunity is really here! However, Xiao Guanyin, who is in the palace, also holds the military power of the royal tent in his hand. If Yelu Hongji keeps a hand and leaves the royal tent in Shangjing, then we don't have any chance at all. ”

Yelu Nerugu was very puzzled, and asked: "Father, isn't this royal tent personal rider the emperor's personal cavalry, if Yelu Hongji is the royal rider himself, what reason is there not to ride the royal tent with him?" ”

Yelu Chongyuan sighed: "I have been wise all my life, how did I give birth to such a stupid son of yours!" ”

Yelu Nerugu was not convinced, and said: "Father, I am so smart, how can I be stupid!" ”

"Hmph, there are some clever ones, but they can't be on the table. I say you're stupid because you can't see the situation clearly! As long as our father and son are still in Beijing, the royal tent will not all go out with the car. Even if our father and son are still in Liao, half of the royal tent will still stay in Shangjing! Yelu Chongyuan told the truth in one word, and Yelu Nerugu came back to his senses.

"But if Yelu Hongji really drove the expedition in person, wouldn't such a good opportunity be wasted?" Jerunerugu did not want to give up, and in the face of the temptation of the throne, he ignored the consequences of the failure of the rebellion. Like every rebel, he was convinced that he would have the last laugh. But he completely ignored that with his straw bag head and his straw bag father, if he could defeat the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, it would be strange.

Not to mention that their father and son were too domineering, and there were too many people who offended in the court. Even if there are people who support them, they are just nobles who have lost their power, the kind who want to fight and turn over. If you look at the time, place, and people, they don't have an advantage. Unless Yelu Hongji really drove the expedition himself, they would have a chance to succeed.
