Chapter 143: A Request
After the later refinement, she and Tie Xiaozhong's steel knife front and rear feet were completed.
In order to verify the toughness of the knife, two soldiers held it in their hands and slashed it with all their might.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the steel knife in the hands of the two.
At first, the blades collide with a violent spark, but over time, one of the handles begins to curl and crack.
It didn't take long for the steel knife in the soldier's hand to break into two pieces with a ding.
With the applause of the brothers in Heishui Village, Tie Xiaozhong and his apprentices' faces were instantly extremely pale.
Li Jingchen was also stunned by this scene.
He knew Tie Xiaozhong's ability, the steel knife in his hand was still obtained after being tempered by his hands, but he didn't expect that the steel knife made by Shen Xinyue had not survived dozens of rounds.
He himself has led soldiers on the battlefield, so he naturally knows that weapons are a key factor for soldiers and even the key factor in determining the outcome of a battle.
If such weapons can be mass-produced and used in the hands of soldiers on the border, then they will definitely meet a group of invincible teams!
"This king will do what he says, since Miss Shen has won, this king can unconditionally agree to you a request."
Shen Xinyue: "I haven't thought about what requirements to make, I don't know if the prince has promised to wait until I think of it before exchanging?" I can share the technique of forging with Mr. Iron. ”
She just wanted a promise that she wouldn't use for the best in the future.
Seeing that she was going to contribute the method, Li Jingchen promised without saying a word: "Okay, this king promises you!" ”
Tie Xiaozhong and his apprentices thought they had misheard.
Shouldn't this kind of powerful craftsmanship be passed down from generation to generation?
"As a citizen of the Great Yuan Dynasty, thanks to Your Majesty's kindness, I am specially appointed as the county lord, and I am duty-bound to share your Majesty's worries." In the end, Shen Xinyue did not forget to sublimate her lofty realm.
Sure enough, her words made Li Jingchen, Tie Xiaozhong and others admire her.
So when the first batch of weapons was made, Li Jingchen immediately sent them to Kyoto quickly, and wrote Shen Xinyue's credit in the letter.
And at this moment, the court has already been arguing.
Xiao Chenyu, who rebelled against the Red Moon Kingdom, had just completed the unification of the tribes and began to attack Dayuan.
Dayuan, who has only experienced natural disasters and wars, is simply unable to support this battle again.
What's worse is that now the Di people in the north are also ready to move at this time, and even stationed 100,000 troops to press into the border.
"At this time, the lion opened his mouth to want our iron ore, it's a fool's dream!" The military department Shangshu was extremely angry.
Beidi is a nomadic people, each soldier is strong and strong, but what they lack most is iron tools in addition to food, and at this time, this unreasonable request is clearly to unite with Akatsuki to threaten Dayuan, and take the opportunity to get enough benefits from it.
The head of the household sighed: "The year before last and last year, for disaster relief, the treasury was already empty, and this will be a war, and we have long since lost the ability to support it." ”
"As the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and there has not been a war yet, where does the grain and grass come from?"
"That is, even if there is grain and grass, someone must lead the troops, General Lu Qi's legs have been useless since he was injured last time, and General Zhou is now ......very old."
Li Yuansheng sat in his seat, looking at the faces of the ministers below who were all kinds of prevarication, and he was not lightly angry.
"Then according to your intentions, just give up resistance, I don't need to sit in this position, just wait for their iron cavalry to step into the Central Plains and divide the territory."
Seeing that he was furious, all the people who had been talking about it just now lost their voices like quails.
"I usually raise you, and none of them can be used at critical moments?!"
Yan Yushi suddenly stepped forward: "Weichen thinks that this matter can be discussed in the long run, and His Majesty doesn't have to care too much about treating a small barbarian country like them, so it is better to appease him with his relatives." If the princess of my Great Yuan Dynasty can marry, it will be a great honor for them. ”
"Glory?" Li Yuansheng angrily grabbed the dust in the hand of Gonggong Zhang next to him and threw it at him.
"Will you talk too much about your brain, you pig brain, let me sell my daughter to keep the peace, you can't think of it. Okay, since you proposed it, then choose one of the daughters, one is not enough, there are two, I think they are all goddaughters, and they are all named princesses, what do you think? ”
Yan Yushi was frightened and immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
"This battle has to be fought." Lu Zhong, who was standing in the corner, suddenly spoke.
"Whether you can fight or not, you have to fight. Xiao Chenyu just wants to use this war to prestige his country, if we are timid and retreat, it will inevitably boost their arrogance, and they will drive straight into the country for a long time, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Li Yuansheng naturally didn't want to give up resistance, but as the ministers said just now, there was no military general who could be raised.
Lu Zhong saw his hesitation, and immediately said: "The minister asked to lead the troops to the battle. ”
"Lord Xiao Lu, if I remember correctly, you have been dismissed by Your Majesty, and now it is Your Majesty's preference to be able to stand here and discuss with us, so why not lead troops to fight?"
Lu Zhong tilted his head, and it was Wu Chengyong, the squire of the military department, who spoke, he was the brother of Mrs. Cheng Bohou, and he still hated him because of the death of his nephew.
"Who should I be, Your Majesty favors me, is it possible that Lord Wu will also be jealous? But then again, no matter how long you, the squire of the military department, can take the initiative to ask for help for His Majesty's worries, it will not be my turn to be in the limelight here. ”
"You, fighting a war is a big deal, and besides, it is Your Majesty's own decision to decide who leads the troops, and it is not your turn to talk nonsense here."
Lu Zhong snorted: "You still know that the feelings are decided by Your Majesty." ”
"You!"
"That's it!" Li Yuansheng glared at Wu Chengyong: "If you don't have the ability, don't talk about trivial things." ”
Trivialities?
His nephew is still dead to this day.
"Please also think twice, how can a person like Lu Chong who kills innocents indiscriminately lead troops to fight, and how can he convince the public?"
"The minister seconded the proposal!" Lord Yushi Yan followed, also opposing Lu Chong's troops.
"You one by one, apart from participating in this and accusing that in the court, what else can you do? If you don't let him go, which of you can lead the army to war? ”
The people who had the most quarrels were silent.
To go to the battlefield, it is a matter of life and death, they don't dare.
Just when everyone was arguing, the news that Li Jingchen had developed the sharpest weapon came.
The entire government and the opposition were shocked.
Li Yuansheng, in particular, has a powerful weapon, and his confidence in this battle has greatly increased.
So he immediately appointed Lu Zhong as the general of Zhenxi, commanding an army of 50,000 to fight against the invading army of the Red Moon Kingdom.
In addition, the old general Zhou Guangqing was sent as the commander of the Zhenbei Army, commanding an army of 30,000 to defend against the invasion of Beidi.
