Chapter 470: Li Shimin Wants Equipment
Li Shen's angry shout startled everyone, and when Xue Rengui turned around, he also revealed that the person who was talking to him was Li Zhiming, the general of Yulinwei.
Li Zhiming tilted his head to look outside, and saw Li Shen standing on the stone pier at the door, with his hands on his hips, looking arrogant.
Just as they were looking at this side, Xue Rengui and Li Zhiming walked over.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Ji." The two saluted.
"Well, can anyone explain to this king, what is going on, is it that you, Yu Linwei, have come to disarm my guard battalion?
Or do you want to rob the king?
How can this be reasonable, this king does not go to rob others and thinks that the scriptures are contributing to the stability of the Tang Dynasty, you still dare to rob this king? ”
The more Li Shen spoke, the more excited he became, with his character, if he didn't pick up money on the road, he was a person who lost money, how could he tolerate others taking his own things.
"Qiyu King Ji, this is Your Majesty's will, I heard that the guard battalion of King Ji's Mansion has changed its equipment, and Your Majesty has a decree to send the old equipment you changed to Beiya and equip Yulinwei."
Li Zhiming explained, but there was a little loss in his tone, when did they Yu Linwei fall to the point of picking up other people's leftovers.
In the past, their equipment was the best in the whole army, and their treatment was also the best in the whole army.
And the force value is also the highest in the whole army, and everywhere you go, you are angry.
However, since the establishment of Li Shen's guard battalion, they have been compared, and their equipment is inferior to others, their discipline is inferior to others, and their force is even worse than others.
Fortunately, there are only 3,000 people in the guard battalion of King Ji's Mansion, otherwise they may all have to be laid off and re-employed.
For this reason, they also had to come to the military camp in Dongshan to receive training, so that people could train like their grandsons and be as tired as dogs.
This time, His Majesty heard that the guard battalion had changed its clothes, and he actually asked them to pick up the old equipment left by others, which made everyone in Yulinwei a little uncomfortable.
"What? Why doesn't this king know about such a big thing, you can't be a false decree, right?
These equipment of mine are all of the finest steel, which has been continuously smelted for 7749 days and hammered for 9981 days.
It's worth more than 10,000 gold. You say pull away, pull away? ”
Li Shen immediately quit after listening to Li Zhiming's explanation, and said in his heart, is his father, the old man, a little too picky?
Even the equipment of the Praetorian Guard had to pick up the old equipment he replaced,
Can't you build your own? So much gold in the old man's pocket?
Li Zhiming was also a little embarrassed after hearing this, but the holy order was difficult to disobey, and continued:
"King Huiji, the minister does not dare to falsely pass on the holy decree, it is indeed the will of His Majesty, if you don't believe it, please see Your Highness." Then he handed the holy decree to Li Shen to check.
Li Shen took it and took a look, it was indeed his father's handwriting, flying white, with a sharp pen. And his father's private seal.
Just listen to Li Zhiming continue:
"Lord, the minister thinks that it may be His Majesty's will to go down to the palace, and the prince is not in the palace, so I don't know. When the prince returns home, he will naturally know. ”
Li Shen handed the holy decree to the stone behind him and put it away, this was evidence. Then he looked down at Li Zhiming for a long time before he said a word.
"You Yu Linwei are all so poor now? Can that still be paid for the military? ”
"........" Li Zhiming was choked by Li Shen's words and didn't know how to answer, this matter was really embarrassing, his face was flushed and he wanted to say something to get back some scenes, but he was really powerless to refute.
At this moment, a few fast horses came running in the distance.
Li Shen's guards instinctively surrounded Li Shen to be on guard, Li Shen stood on a high place and looked farther, only to see four or five horses coming from far and near.
The first person, Li Shen, looked at the person who pretended to be a little familiar, and seemed to be a person in the palace, and after getting closer, Li Shen saw clearly that it was Wang De, the personal eunuch next to Li Shimin, and the chief manager of Wang.
"It's okay, Mr. Wang." Li Shen said to Tie Niu.
Then the guards dispersed,
Wang De came to Li Shen not far from and dismounted, and ran over panting.
"Oh, my little prince, it's really not easy to find you, but I'm tired of the old slave."
"Lao Wang, why are you looking for this king in such a hurry? Could it be that something is going on in the palace? Li Shen hurriedly asked.
"That's not true, it's just that Your Majesty asked the old slave to say hello to His Royal Highness, didn't the guard camp of King Ji's Mansion change its clothes recently? His Majesty said to let the prince give the old equipment you replaced to Yu Linwei. Wang De said funny,
The two of them have been calculating each other for ten years, and Wang De can eat a big melon every time.
"Why, it's not that he doesn't have money, I spent money to get it all in, and I'm going to go back to the furnace to rebuild? This is the king's hard-earned money. Li Shen pouted. He won't give it for nothing.
"Oh, Lord Wang, don't be angry, think about it, don't you give in every time, Your Majesty didn't give you an order this time, you should take it as a gift from Yuan Zheng to Your Majesty." Wang De continued to persuade with a smile.
"No, I have to give me at least 200,000 pieces of equipment for these 3,000 sets. It cost me 300,000 yuan. Li Shen shook his head,
What kind of gifts, Li Shen didn't bring gifts to Li Shimin during the New Year's holidays.
Don't look at Li Shen, every time he pulls more than a dozen carts of things into the palace, they are all for Wei Guifei and Empress Eldest Sun, and sometimes he even brings some to the concubines.
is the only one who does not have Li Shimin, which is also a pain in Li Shimin's heart, he is still embarrassed to care, and it seems that he is the emperor with a small belly.
Wang De felt that his head was big when he heard that Li Shen wanted 200,000 yuan, why is it like this every time, does this King Ji remember to eat or not.
"Lord Wang, Your Majesty said, three thousand sets of equipment, to avoid your sin of transgression." Wang De finally used Li Shimin's killer weapon.
"What? What do you say? What has this king overcome? Make it clear to the king. Li Shen immediately turned his face.
I've been in good shape since I came back.
"Lord Wang, don't forget, the weapons that are being developed in your research institute." Wang De reminded.
"This king has already told Aya and reported to the Ministry of Works." Li Shen said confidently.
"Lord Wang, you only reported the crossbow and the sword, and the others did not report.
The compound bow used by the palace guards now has several times greater lethality than ordinary crossbows. There is also the three-bow strong crossbow used by the palace to go to Goguryeo this time, which is a heavy ordnance,
Your three-bowed crossbow can shoot a thick crossbow into the city wall at a distance of six or seven hundred paces.
Lord Wang, this is a big killer, I heard that it can reach up to a thousand steps.
You actually made such a big killing weapon, and you didn't report it to Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that he was free to clean you up. ”
Wang De's words made Li Shen speechless, indeed, Li Shen's research institute studies everything, especially ordnance.
Li Shen was not surprised that Li Shimin knew about this, and Li Shen didn't plan to hide it, if Li Shimin kept silent, it would make Li Shen afraid.
(Class: Stand,
A thousand steps is calculated according to the distance of the Song Dynasty, one step is equal to 1.5 meters, and a thousand steps is 1,500 meters.
There must be a suspicion of the bar, so let's take a look.
According to the record of the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", the three-bow bed crossbow began in the Song Dynasty called the Eight Ox Crossbow, and the range of the first made could reach five or six hundred meters, and the range could reach 1,000 steps after continuous improvement in the later period. That's 1,500 meters.
History of the Song Dynasty. It is recorded in the Biography of Wei Pi that the crossbow of the old bed shot 700 steps. Let Pi increase to 1,000 steps. Pi is a person.
And the most famous one after the improvement was to shoot Xiao Tzulin, the general of the Liao Army, and was killed with an arrow of nearly 700 meters. In the end, Song Liao signed the famous alliance of the Yuanyuan.
When the Yuan Dynasty went west, it used a large number of strong crossbows made by the Han people.
In the Persian "History of the World Conquerors", it is recorded that a kind of bull crossbow made by Khitan craftsmen has a range of 2,500 steps. The Arabs have at least 2,500 steps of more than a kilometer.
So the bar retreated.
