Chapter 117: The Temptation Before Leaving Beijing
And now the armor drawn on the drawing in front of me is different.
It is made up of small pieces of iron locks that are then spliced together, and are far more flexible than the previous plate armor.
And the coverage area can reach almost the whole body!
"I don't know if you are sure of this kind of process?"
Zhou Yang asked with some concern.
After all, the complexity of creating this kind of fish scale armor is much higher than that of plate armor, and the two pairs of armor are not at the same level at all.
More importantly, the steel metal that Zhou Yang required to forge is harder, stronger, and has a certain toughness than the previous ordinary metal.
Although this metal is extremely hard and has strong defense, it is also very difficult to forge.
"It's not a big problem, if these young men are here, it will only take half a month to forge these armors."
The old craftsman said, and glanced at the sturdy men in front of him.
After all, if these men can really go to the pure and start striking iron, the speed will be a hundred times stronger than that of these old men.
"Then I'll trouble you guys!"
"In this backyard, I have prepared everything, including some tools and materials that should be prepared, if there is anything missing, you can always open a list, and I will let people prepare."
The old craftsman was also an anxious man, and when he heard Zhou Yang say this, he couldn't wait to go to the backyard to have a look, and then nodded heavily.
"It seems that His Royal Highness the Seventh is also a master here, and the things prepared are exactly the same, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, since His Royal Highness the Seventh is so anxious, then let's do it today."
Hearing the old craftsmen say, Zhou Yang's face was also full of excitement.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you guys next!"
"Half a month later, the palace will go to the Qin country, and you will need to go with the palace at that time, you will see about the family in this regard, do you arrange for them to set off first, or will they join us at that time?"
Zhou Yang said this very implicitly, the reason why he said this was because he was afraid that these craftsmen would misunderstand.
According to his original plan, he needed to send someone to send some old and weak women and children to Qin State first.
At the very least, we can't stay any longer.
After all, this son of heaven is like a tiger at his feet, and if Emperor Deyuan is unhappy one day, he will definitely come to find fault in these aspects.
Crafting weapons and armor without permission is a felony.
"It's all up to Your Highness to arrange!"
"Since Lao Yu and the others have decided to follow His Highness, no matter what arrangements His Highness makes from today onwards, we will absolutely obey."
Several old craftsmen patted their chests and said.
They also have great trust in Zhou Yang now, all because of Zhou Yang's attitude towards them.
If you put it on other princes and want them to do these things, you won't invite them so politely, and you won't give them so much compensation, let alone these promises.
After all, they are only the lowest level of society, yes, they don't have to care about anything at all.
One of the easiest ways to do this is to arrest their family members directly, and as a threat, they will naturally do these things obediently.
But Zhou Yang didn't do it.
Instead, he sprinkled a lot of silver and gave them the finest forging techniques.
You must know that these forging and smelting techniques, as well as the armor and weapon styles drawn on the drawings, have not been seen since ancient times.
If these things are put somewhere else, they can definitely be very popular.
Not to mention anything else, if these craftsmen take these drawings given by Zhou Yang and return to the ordnance prison.
Not to mention those who don't have a few sons, even if they are promoted to three levels, presumably some of the officials in charge of the ordnance supervision are also willing.
Relying on the Tang sword armor, those officials could show their faces fiercely in front of Emperor Deyuan.
Such a weapon can directly increase the combat effectiveness of the army by several grades.
The trust between the two sides is already full, and Zhou Yang has nothing to worry about, so he will pay attention to other things after arranging this day.
After all, when he left the capital, he didn't just leave with his baggage.
Those who followed him, as well as the eyes and ears left in the capital in the future, must make proper arrangements.
Now the personnel he stayed in the capital and lurked in various places have been put in place, and almost every dignitary in the capital has his eyes and ears in his home.
At present, these people are all directly under their own leadership, after all, there are not enough reliable people to be in charge of intelligence matters at this time.
There was a busy half a month in the capital, and between thousands of things, it was slowly sorted out.
During these days, many ministers of the DPRK and China also came to visit him.
But from the topics they came to talk about, it can be seen that this is a test of themselves.
And these people do not belong to the same camp, but there are all of them.
The people under Emperor Deyuan, the prince's people, and even several other princes who led the troops to fight in the frontier.
These people are constantly tempting him now, as if they want to find out the true confidence of his stupid prince.
After all, the behavior he had shown during this time was so abnormal that it didn't look like a fool could do it.
From the overthrow of the four princes, to the inexplicable assassination of the four houses in the end, and this spearhead fell directly on the crown prince.
Later, he opened the Seven Princes grocery store, which was ridiculed by everyone, but it became an instant hit and has now become the most popular store in the capital.
Among these things, if one of them is said to be lucky, it may be able to be said, but each of these things is very weird, and it just fell on Zhou Yang's head.
It also makes people feel so deserved.
"The four princes stay, then I'll leave first!"
sent away a group of ministers from the DPRK and China who came to visit, and looking at the back of their departure, Zhou Yang's face slowly became gloomy.
"It seems that we can't stay in this capital anymore, and we will close the door for the next few days, and we will set off directly after ten days."
During this time, everyone was constantly testing him, which made Zhou Yang's heart very angry.
"Your Highness, everything is ready, just wait for the armor and weapons to be completed, we can leave at any time."
Zhao Wuyang whispered on the side.
The reason why he knew that Zhou Yang was looking for something to do and set off was because these weapons and armor had not been completely forged.
