Chapter 136: Acceptance (5/10)
Li Yizhi smiled mysteriously and said, "Actually, what should be said, I believe that Kou Zhong's kid has told you, I won't repeat it here." Well, rest well tonight, and I'll take you somewhere tomorrow. ”
Although Li Jing was puzzled, he didn't ask too much, he smiled heartily and said, "Okay, everything is arranged by the manager." ”
Su Su hurriedly said: "Boss, if you can bring Su Su tomorrow, I also want to see it." ”
Li Yizhi groaned, and then said, "Yes." ”
…………
The next day, early in the morning.
Li Yizhi took Li Jing and Su Su to the helm of the beggar gang in the west of the city.
Compared with all the forces in the world, Li Yizhi knows that his own conditions are not too attractive to Li Jing.
Therefore, if he wants to recruit Li Jing, he must show the other party something different.
First of all, Li Yizhi took Li Jing and Su Su to the armory.
In the tall and spacious armory workshop, huge stamping machines are in operation, quickly stamping and forming various weapons.
Next, as long as you equip it with a strike, it is a sophisticated weapon.
At present, the weapons are mainly knives, swords, and guns, and a small amount of armor is also produced.
As soon as they entered the weapons workshop, Li Jing and Su Su's eyes were straight, and they looked at the assembly-line production, a large number of weapons and made into shape.
They are no strangers to weapons, and in their minds, weapons should be forged by a blacksmith's hammer after hammer, which is time-consuming and laborious.
But it's going to be as easy and fast as it is here.
"Don't look at the weapons here are not forged, just think that the texture is fragile. In fact, we use high-quality steel, which does not need to be tempered at all, so it can be directly stamped and formed. ”
Li Yizhi casually picked up a sword blank, handed it to Li Jing, and said: "As long as this sword blank is equipped with a front, it is a first-class sophisticated weapon, and it is not inferior to the weapons of the Eastern Underworld Sect. ”
"Leading troops to fight, although it is the strategy of the generals and the courage of the soldiers, but weapons are also very important. Imagine that on the battlefield, our weapons can easily cut off the opponent's weapons and can be replenished at any time, who will be our opponents in the future? ”
Although the iron-smelting technology of the Sui and Tang dynasties was already very superb, the efficiency has been low, and it requires the tempering of blacksmiths.
A high-grade steel sword may require dozens of days of tempering by several people to complete, and the cost is extremely high.
Therefore, ordinary weapons are ordinary iron weapons.
But Rao is like this, in this period of chaos in the world, it is extremely rare for a soldier to be able to have a weapon in his hands.
More rebels, or only elite troops, are equipped with iron weapons, and the rest are armed with wooden sticks and other weapons, sharpening one end and using it as a spear.
Li Jing took the sword blank excitedly, he stroked it gently, and then flicked his fingers, and a clear sword groan sounded melodiously.
"Good sword, good sword!"
Li Jing came from the Jianghuai Army, and he knew the most about the weapons of the Righteous Army.
As Li Yizhi said, in the huge Jianghuai army, only one-third of the army is equipped with iron weapons, and the styles are still varied, and the quality is not bad.
After a big battle, basically the blade will be curled and then rebuilt.
A steel sword like this in his hand can only be possessed by people above the rank of Wu Chang.
If the whole army is really equipped with such a steel weapon, he can say that the Jianghuai army may be able to sweep the world, and its combat power can be at least doubled.
Li Yizhi turned his head and asked Tian Wen beside him, "Mr. Tian, how many weapons can our arsenal produce in a day?" ”
When Li Jing heard this, he hurriedly looked at Tian Wen.
Tian Wen stroked his beard and said proudly: "As long as there is enough steel, we can produce 300 knives, 300 swords, 1,000 spear heads, and 50 pieces of armor a day." ”
Li Jing gasped, such a huge output came from such a small weapons workshop.
If the scale is expanded, I am afraid that this number will be doubled, and it will only take a few months to arm hundreds of thousands of troops.
Su Su was also shocked, and her small mouth couldn't be closed.
Li Yizhi's expression was flat, and this output was really low for people who had experienced the impact of modern productivity.
Next, Li Yizhi led Li Jing and the two to visit various workshops, even including the mint.
He wanted to give Li Jing the most powerful impact and tell the other party that although he had a shallow background, with his strong industrial capacity, he could completely destroy all hostile forces, including those thousand-year-old families.
Eventually, they came to the school.
This is actually the most important part of Li Yizhi, which is now divided into civil and military academies and recruits a large number of students.
However, education cannot be achieved overnight, and it will take more than 10 years to gradually show the effect.
However, this did not hinder Li Jing's imagination.
With a strong weapon productivity, a massive source of money, and a special school for training civil and military generals, Li Jing has no doubt that it will be Li Yizhi who will seize the world in the future.
Even if the four major gates have a deep foundation, they will only end up being destroyed.
Li Jing was completely conquered, let alone Susu.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that although her master had a huge foundation, compared with Li Yizhi, he was really a little out of his hands.
"I'm ashamed to say that this time I was invited by Brother Kou and Brother Xu to come to Yangzhou, in fact, I just couldn't refuse, and I was going to send Su Su to Xingyang after meeting the manager."
Li Jing bowed down and said frankly: "Now Li Jing wants to get an errand under the command of the general manager, and I hope the general manager will agree." ”
Li Yizhi laughed and said, "It's my honor to be able to serve General Li. It just so happens that I have a position here, which is perfect for you. ”
Li Jing's expression was straight, and he said, "Please also ask the chief manager to give instructions." ”
"You must also know that the 50,000 Yangzhou troops stationed in Quanjiao County. Wei Chisheng neglected his duties, and even went out to hunt in the barracks during the confrontation between the two armies, but was assassinated. ”
Li Yizhi paused and said with a smile: "Now the emperor has appointed me as the governor of Yangzhou, commanding 50,000 Yangzhou troops. It's just that I am now going to sit in Yangzhou, and I am lacking a general to lead the Yangzhou army for me. ”
Li Jing trembled and said excitedly: "What does the chief mean is to let me command the Yangzhou army?" ”
"Not bad. I know that General Li was born in a famous family, known as a great talent, and commanded 50,000 Yangzhou troops, which should be more than enough. ”
Li Yizhi nodded and said, he still had a headache, how to master the Yangzhou army.
Now that Li Jing has been sent to his eyes, he naturally has to make use of it.
With Li Jing's ability, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Jianghuai army can be pacified.
Du Fuwei, who was born recklessly, could not be Li Jing's opponent at all.
Li Jing's heart was moved, and he suddenly had the urge to die for his confidant.
He took a deep breath, bowed solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your trust, Li doesn't have to live up to expectations." ”
Su Su said happily: "Congratulations to Brother Li." ”
Although Tian Wen didn't know why Li Yizhi valued Li Jing so much, he was entrusted with such a heavy responsibility just after meeting for the first time.
However, he knew that Li Yizhi would definitely not be untargeted, and he must have his own reasons.
Li Yizhi helped Li Jing up, and was about to explain some things to him, when he saw Shi Long walking quickly.
Shi Long glanced at Li Jing and Su Su, a little hesitant, Li Yizhi saw this, and explained: "Shi Daochang, if you have something to say, General Li is your own person. ”
Shi Long nodded at Li Jing before he said to Li Yizhi: "Yizhi, I just received a report from the people below, saying that Du Fuwei appeared in Yangzhou City. ”
"What, Du Fuwei actually arrived in Yangzhou?"
Not only Li Yizhi, but even Li Jing was shocked.
You must know that there are 50,000 Yangzhou troops stationed in Quanjiao County, and Du Fuwei has only taken Liyang not long ago.
This Du Fuwei didn't want to stabilize the place and defend the Yangzhou army, so he actually ran to Yangzhou, what a lot of heart he had to have.
Even if there is Fu Gongyou in charge, it also makes people feel a little child's play.
