Section 258 Haiyun Peak
After living in Da Nang for two days, eating, drinking and having fun was naturally all inclusive, and it also allowed the representatives of the top ten merchant gangs to see the power of Bai Ming Crane here, although this is a foreign port city, but here Bai Ming Crane is the master of the same, one look, those Nanzhang officials in Da Nang are as obedient as servants.
Why?
Why did the white crane sell a load of silk here for nearly five to seven times the price, and these people are still so grateful. The people of the Ten Great Merchants Gang don't understand, don't these people know the true price of Daming silk at all?
The merchants are not stupid, they don't talk nonsense, because if the white crane dares to bring them over to see, he will give them a piece.
It's just that the businessmen were looking forward to Bai Minghe finding a meeting, but Bai Minghe didn't pay attention to them, even Bai Minghe's father, Bai Chongxi, didn't have the opportunity to meet Bai Minghe alone.
Two days later, the ship began to move north.
In less than an hour, the ship stopped, in front of a simple dock where there was no port.
"General Mao!" The white crane was the first to get off the boat and hugged his fists and saluted.
"It's just a general, and you can't afford to be called a general!" Mao Wenhu hugged his fist stiffly.
A voice came from behind Bai Minghe: "He said that you are a general, and you are a general." Yu Qian strode down from the boat: "This official Yu Qian is currently the secretary of the military department." I have already discussed with Lord Yang Neng, the governor of Guangdong, to promote you to the commander of the three products, and set up Haiyunwei! ”
"The last general ......, take the order!"
Yu Qian's beating is an official language, and he reports his name and official position, that is, he speaks as the secretary of the Ministry of War.
Mao Wenhu naturally knew Yu Qian, these people were punished as soldiers, and being demoted was nothing, and the only regret was that he did not participate in the defense of Beijing with Yu Qian.
"Let's go, go to your territory." Yu Qian stretched out his hand and pointed to the Haiyun Peak.
There is no specialized slider here. Only a few slaves were in charge of carrying several civil officials over the age of fifty-five, such as Hu Hu, as well as two older men in the merchant gang, while the rest chose to walk.
It took half a day to walk before I arrived at Xiongguan.
In just half a year, Mao Wenhu has built a three-part stone and seven-part wood here, which cannot become a checkpoint for Xiongguan. It's just that the terrain is amazing, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"People from the Shang Gang, go north. Go and see General Mao's array there! Bai Minghe stood in front of Xiongguan and pointed to the passage that was not too big and said, there will definitely be a gate built here, but the stone Xiongguan has not yet been built, so naturally the city gate will not be repaired first.
Mao Wenhu inadvertently showed a smile on his face when he heard Bai Minghe's words: "Come, take the guests to visit." ”
What to visit? I'm afraid that no one knows except for a few big people, Hu Hu also signaled to carry him over, and the only one who stayed in the care and didn't move was Bai Minghe alone. The reason is simple. The white crane doesn't like to look at that place, as for why he doesn't like it.
When I really walked to Mao Wenhu's formation, most of the people vomited.
It's not a formation, it's a corpse forest, a corpse forest made up of four thousand corpses hanging there. Many of these corpses have been dried, but most of them have been gnawed by wild beasts, and only human heads are still hanging there, that is, human heads have been bitten by seagulls. This scene is deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.
A few young merchant henchmen sprang back, frightened.
Return to Kannai. Bai Minghe was sitting under a big tree sipping tea, and Hu Hu and Yu Qian, who returned here, naturally had seats. The people of the merchant gang sat down paralyzed.
"Are you tempted by the official's profit in Da Nang?" Shira-chan Crane suddenly spoke.
It's false to say that you don't want to be tempted, but at this time, plus who dared to say half a word in front of Bai Minghe after watching that scene.
"General Mao, do you want to give it a try if you have a gift. I remember two months ago, I sent someone to measure you. Said to make you a new garment. Bai Minghe ignored the people of the Shang Gang and got up and said to Mao Wenhu.
A smile appeared on Hu Hui's face again: "The old man likes to watch the excitement!" ”
Yu Qian also said: "Those who were placed in our Daming just now, Mao Wenhu is afraid that he will be impeached by hundreds of people." Hu Hu nodded in agreement, but then said: "This is not Daming, Bai Minghe needs such a ruthless person." Anyone who dares to touch the interests in his hands deserves death. That's how he did it. Of course, he protected the interests in his own hands, and also protected the interests of the Ming Dynasty. Just ......"
When Hu Hu said that it was just that, Yu Qian's heart was also a little heavy, you can kill someone, but hang people there and let the beasts bite, in order to keep sprinkling sea water for fear of people rotting, such a ruthless thing Hu Hu is not happy can understand.
Just as Yu Qian was about to accept Hu Hui's correction, Hu Hu said: "I heard that Lord Yu has a gold mine in Little Luzon. I don't know if I went over to take a look, but I heard that Minghe recommended General Mao to be the actual governor there. ”
Hu Hu is called a famous crane, but he is much closer.
Yu Qian couldn't cry or laugh, this Mao Sheng's cousin was so ruthless, it was hard to say that it was not taught by Mao Sheng. Mao Sheng is only older these years, but if it is really time to start, he is definitely much more ruthless than this Mao Wenhu.
"This ......" Yu Qian really couldn't answer.
"Actually, Minghe knows how to use people, and is very good at employing people. Good steel is used on the cutting edge. Hu Hui's words dispelled the uneasiness in Yu Qian's heart, Hu Hu can support Bai Minghe so ruthlessly, he Yu Qian will definitely not be softer than Hu Hui.
As he was talking, someone brought a gift from the white crane and a few rattan boxes.
"First of all, this one, close to the body. The fine muslin cloth has only been thickened in a few key places. The white crane took it out himself.
Mao Wenlong said in his heart that it was really clothes, so he rushed at Bai Minghe, and he couldn't refuse this intention. took off a clean light at the moment, and then put on his clothes according to Bai Minghe's requirements, and several places still needed to be tightened, and they were also tied up by a few guards around Bai Minghe.
Then the rattan basket was opened, but it was shiny like a piece of silver.
"Plate armor, this set of infantry plates, weighs only more than thirty catties. The defensive power is more than double that of the current Ming Forbidden Army's fish scale cavalry armor, especially in sharp blades and bows and arrows, which can reach twice as much. If it is a cavalry heavy plate, I estimate that the defense power can reach four times, because this is made of pure steel zuò, which is made of ten thousand stone impacts. ”
Ten thousand stones is a thousand tons of punching force. It is nothing in the later generations, but it took a lot of effort in Daming.
This is still driven by hydraulic power, and the main hammer weighs about five tons of stone and pig iron, and is completed by a huge turntable driven by hydraulic power. The inefficiency is pitiful, and only fifteen hits can be completed in an hour.
But with such efficiency, in the work of completing the main front and rear pieces of plate armor, it is far higher than the knocking of manpower. With this machine, many small ones are produced specifically for impact joint parts.
It took about a quarter of an hour to pierce the armor, and the whole body was plated with silver glittering.
A knife was handed out of Shira's hand: "Do you want to try it?" One out of a hundred, or five hundred. First of all, this thing's defense against blunt weapons is only a little better than that of the forbidden army's cavalry armor, but ......" Bai Minghe suddenly turned around and shouted to many sergeants next to him: "Do you want your general to experience the feeling of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart." ”
"Yes!" The soldiers brought out by the madmen will not be ordinary people.
Now many of the soldiers had their bows and arrows ready.
Bai Minghe put down Mao Wenhu's visor, and said at the same time: "If you shoot in the eyes, it's better to block it with your hands." I'm not very happy with the design here, but it's barely usable. ”
Mao Wenhu could not suppress the excitement in his heart, and strode into a clearing after hugging his fist at Bai Minghe, and shouted at the same time: "Come on, take out your skills, let Lao Tzu see a drop of blood and kill a sheep for you tonight." ”
Hu Hu, who was originally sitting firmly, stood up and dared to let go of ten thousand arrows, Bai Minghe was very crazy, this Mao Wenhu really believed it.
"Fifty steps, two hundred people, ready!" Yang Neng waved his hand.
The slaves were stunned, but they knew the power of the Ming bow and arrow, and the Annan people didn't know how many died under the bow and arrow.
Arrows are like flying locusts, eighty steps is not far, the archers of the Ming Dynasty can maintain the lethality of one hundred and fifty steps, and they can also kill people in eighty steps when they have armor, which is only fifty steps.
A soldier is a soldier, and there is no hesitation when an order is given.
All I heard was the sound of a dense clash of iron tools, and the grinding of the guards' iron tools.
The round of arrows was over quickly, and Mao Wenhu's two personal guards rushed over, as if checking. Even Yu Qian and Hu Hu were also ready to go over, wanting to take a look at the defensive power of this armor, but they heard Bai Minghe shouting from behind: "Twenty people, cut with a knife." ”
The first to rush to the front was Mao Wenhu's personal guards, who knew better than anyone else that the shape of the armor was strange, nine out of ten of the arrows slipped away, and only a few left small holes in the armor.
Hearing Bai Minghe's shout, the two relatives jumped back: "General, offended." ”
The two joined forces, and twenty people rushed up from behind, wielding a knife is a burst of slashing, one of them also ran with a spear to give it, the armor was finally damaged, four places on the back were cut, and a knife was still caught in the gap between the armor being cut, Mao Wenhu raised the scabbard, and soon opened the person next to him.
A set of armor can only be seen at this time, there is damage, but it can still protect the armor-piercing from injury.
If you want to hurt this armor, you really have to rely on blunt weapons such as hammers and sticks as Bai Minghe said.
"General Mao, how's it going?"
"You ruined twenty steel knives." Mao Wenhu naturally refers to the weapons in the hands of these soldiers around him, and the blades are all injured without exception, and it takes a lot of effort to repair.
"However, this Jia Lao Tzu likes it!" Mao Wenhu laughed.
With such armor, Mao Wenhu really dared to make a wild move with one enemy and one hundred, but the premise was that the soldiers wearing this armor must be first-class good soldiers and a truly strong army with high martial arts.
