Chapter Fifty-Four: La Zhuangding!
Yan, the five thousand elite cavalry of the Liao Second Domain, completed the assembly in this way, and then rushed to Liaoyang under the leadership of the two kings.
There are also subordinates of the commander of the Liaodong Metropolitan Command.
At this time, Liaodong commanded Hu Min, who was not famous.
"What the hell did you do to my sister?"
Zhang Fu looked at the crowd of people seeing him off suspiciously.
His sister, the little princess, and Yang Feng's maidservant were all together, waving goodbye to them, I don't know why, he found that his sister didn't look at himself, but looked at Yang Feng who was like a general in the Spring and Autumn Period, standing on top of the chariot......
It's scary!
"You should believe in my discipline!
I can swear to God, although we have traveled all the way from leaving Peking, we have not said more than ten sentences in total, and I said it, and she only answered me one word. ”
Yang Feng said.
"Get out?"
"Phew!"
"But why is she looking at you?"
"Maybe you've been moved by my charm and want to do something to me!"
"Phew!"
Zhang Fu said very dryly.
And then he didn't care anymore.
Yang Feng put on a smile and continued to look at his sister after he left.
The latter's face quickly twisted to the side.
"The clouds are from the dragon, the wind is from the tiger, and the dust and earth are fame. Looking at Shenzhou, the people are suffering, and thousands of miles of fertile land are barren......"
Yang Feng shook the reins, and then roared.
As for who wrote this thing, whether it was at this time or not, it doesn't matter anymore, anyway, it's true that it suits these soldiers, although there are also people like Aru Timur, but the vast majority are still Han Chinese. They are just like what is written in this song, starting from recklessness, with a humble body, resisting foreign rulers, fighting bloody battles for 20 years, forcibly sweeping away the Central Plains and even chasing and killing Mobei, and completing the Heavenly Dao in one fell swoop.
And now, they are completing the Yellow Dragon Vow.
In a practical sense.
Even the target of their trip was north of Huanglong Mansion.
Obviously, Yang Feng's roar was very popular, and then the soldiers followed his example.
And then the five thousand cavalry thus began the expedition.
They went straight to the Sancha River to the east, then crossed the Sancha River pontoon bridge, crossed Haizhou to the east and turned north, and entered Liaoyang City under the greeting of Hu Min and other generals of the Liaodong Command Division, Zhu Sheng, Min Zhong, Liu Xian and others. The rest is Zhu Di's dispatch of troops, which has nothing to do with Yang Feng, Zhu Di actually accepted his suggestion a long time ago, and smashed the black pine forest with cavalry, and Zhu Zhi asked to lead the troops in person, it is obvious that the King of Liao is eager to show his face in front of his father. But this is not simply to Xiyangha, solving Xiyangha is only the first step of the entire military operation, he is stuck in the Songhua River, he can't move forward if he doesn't solve it, the real goal is to smash Nurgan City.
All tribes along the way need to be surrendered.
It is necessary to build ships in Jilin, to need sailors, and to need a large number of craftsmen, and the Ming Dynasty originally sent thousands of shipbuilding craftsmen to Jilin in history.
Now you have to be at this level.
However, even if it is far from Kaiyuan, there is a long land transportation, so it is necessary to transport a large amount of food to support these craftsmen and ensure that the next army will sail to Nurgan City.
It's not that simple.
This is the campaign.
As for Yang Feng's job, it was very simple, to transform his chariot.
Plus shock absorption.
Shock absorption of spring plates.
Liaoyang City, as the current military and political center of Liaodong, has a large number of craftsmen, of course, including blacksmiths, and even they have an iron yard in Anshan.
That's easy.
The best iron ore is selected, charcoal is used to smelt a furnace of iron alone, then mature iron is made, and it is forged continuously until all impurities are squeezed out, and then it is re-melted, pig iron is added to complete the carburizing, and finally carbon steel is obtained, and then the forging is continued......
In the era when there were no modern steelmaking furnaces, there was only one way to get high-quality steel.
Forged!
It's the same even when it comes to crucible steel.
The crucible steel also relies on forging, and the direct output is not the finished product, but the final product is completed by forging.
Then quenching and tempering and other heat treatment processes.
Eventually, he got the spring steel plate he wanted.
"This steel is good, give me a knife by the way!"
Zhang Fu said with a steel plate.
"It's the ambassador who taught it well, although the small one knew how to make steel in the past, but it was all based on ancestral inheritance and decades of experience, but I don't know why, the ambassador will understand it as soon as he says the small, according to this method, our Liaodong knife dare not say that it is the best, at least it must be called excellent."
The craftsman next to him said.
At this time, the status of craftsmen was actually not low.
Yang Feng casually handed him a pocket.
The craftsman took it, and when it was opened, the golden light immediately dazzled.
"Ambassador, I can't help it, the small ones have already gained a lot from doing things for the ambassadors, how dare you ask for the ambassador's reward again."
He was so frightened that he hurriedly said.
A bag of gold!
I'm afraid that there are not more than a dozen catties, and the official price at this time is one or two gold and four taels of silver.
"Take it, it's not just for you, the brothers who work will share it, you can also be considered capable, you are the most popular in our place."
Yang Feng said.
With his guidance, as well as those simple craftsmanship here, he can make spring plates, this is definitely a talent, it is easy to find a famous general who can fight in this era, but it is really rare to find a craftsman of this level. With this craft, the spring of the flintlock pistol is absolutely fine, but for the time being, he is not going to teach the Ming to make the flintlock pistol, and it is useless to teach it. The replacement of the arquebus with the flintlock was a long process, even taking more than half a century, in the environment of daily war in Europe, before it was finally completed.
It was not difficult to invent a flintlock pistol, but it was difficult to have a sufficient number of craftsmen who could make those mechanical parts.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Feng began to install springs on the chariot.
"What's the use of this thing?"
Zhang Fu said curiously.
"It's very simple, with this thing, the wheels of the carriage run over the potholes, and when it jumps upward, it will hold it up and hit the bottom of the carriage first, but I and the carriage add up to a few hundred pounds, and the spring plate will be squeezed flat at once, but the carriage will not jump up violently."
"Like a man carrying a sedan chair with two legs?"
"The children can be taught!"
"So you're making such a big deal to make you more comfortable in the carriage?"
"Isn't that enough? Life is short, every day has to make yourself comfortable, do you want to know how long you lived and how you died? ”
"I don't want to, I think the most alive thing is that I don't know what will happen tomorrow, and when I encounter danger, I will kill it directly, and I know what the point is there?"
Of course, Zhang Fu soon knew the real benefits of these spring plates......
"General Zhang, you're too slow, riding a horse isn't as fast as I drive, you can't stand the bumps, right?"
On the streets of Liaoyang City, Yang Feng drove a carriage equipped with shock absorption, galloped forward very swaggeringly, and then turned back to Zhang Fu and shouted, while Zhu Zhi, who was also riding in a chariot, was obviously roaring happily. Zhang Fu looked at them speechlessly, but this shock absorption did make Yang Feng's chariot really get rid of the shackles, in fact, there were new axles, Yang Feng had two pairs of copper sleeves cast in brass, and then added lubricating oil from time to time......
with castor oil.
Aircraft-grade lubricants.
Of course, the main thing is that this thing barely works this season.
Their carriages galloped savagely through the streets.
Pedestrians fled along the way.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I don't see the king!"
Yang Feng shouted towards the front.
In front of him was a group of people in leather robes.
Looking at his carriage, these people shouted in panic and hurried to dodge.
However, Yang Feng's chariot suddenly stopped.
"What language do they speak?"
He said.
These people clearly do not speak Chinese.
"Jurchen, the Jurchen of Dongningwei, the north city is the Dongning Acropolis, the Jurchens and Goryeo people who belong to the east belong to Dongningwei, not only here, the Tielingwei in the north, the 30,000 guards in Kaiyuan City, and the Liaohaiwei in the north of Kaiyuan also have many Jurchens."
Zhang Fu caught up from behind and said.
At this time, Tielingwei was in Fengji Fort south of Shenyang.
The Jurchens stood on the side of the road, groveling at them, with flattering smiles on their faces.
They probably haven't figured out the identities of these people yet, after all, it's only been a few years since they moved inward, and such a short time is not enough for them to learn Chinese, and it is also not enough for them to recognize the Liao King, who also wears filial piety clothes and does not have the iconic dragon robe.
"King, you have the right to requisition the guards belonging to the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, right?"
Yang Feng said.
"Yes."
Zhu Zhi said.
"Is it okay for me to issue an order on your behalf?"
"Ambassador, please!"
"Quick, arrest them all, and then go into the city to arrest all the Jurchen men, up to fifty to fifteen, the king to conquer Xiyangha, it is their opportunity to serve the Ming Dynasty. Liaodong commanded all the guards under the jurisdiction of the envoys, and all the Jurchen men from fifty to fifteen were all going to go on the march, and today we will pull the strong Ding. ”
Yang Feng shouted at the guards who followed behind.
Since he had been authorized, and the guards of the King of Liao had already worshiped him, they rushed to those Jurchens without hesitation when they heard his words, and then dragged them out very simply in their panicked shouts, and they were sensible to prevent them from escaping, and directly took out a rope and strung it together. And more guards in the back poured into the north city like wolves and tigers, and began to search in the city, all the Jurchen men went up to fifty to fifteen and took them out, and for a while, the whole Liaoyang Beicheng jumped ......
By the time Zhu Di got the news and came out to check, Liaoyang City was already strung up everywhere.
"Zhang Fu, what are you doing?"
He said angrily.
He has a good impression of the Nuzhen, and he has always been mainly appeased.
"The king, it is the order of the king of Liao, to recruit all the guards in Liaodong, from fifty to fifteen, they have to follow the expedition."
Zhang Fu hurriedly replied.
He didn't dare to say that it was Yang Feng who gave the order instead of the King of Liao.
However, since it has been recognized by the King of Liao, it can also be regarded as an order from the King of Liao.
"Bastard!"
Zhu Di's face changed.
However, Zhang Yu next to him pulled him.
Zhu Di immediately shut up.
Indeed, Liaodong commanded the envoy to return to the Liao king's moderation, not him, he came to help, the Liao king was ordered to go on an expedition, and he had the right to recruit all the guards in Liaodong, whether it was Han or Jurchen, he had no right to interfere even if he was an elder brother.
