"I understand what you're saying, but it's still unlikely. ”

Shen Kun listened attentively to Lin Yi's words, and then still shook his head, "The number is still too large... The special weapons you mentioned, whether they are unfamiliar with the Southern Dynasty or the Northern Wei Dynasty, may be surprisingly successful, if the King of Nan Xuan no longer troubles me in the future, I can indeed get you some, but only some. Even if it is only the normal combat consumption of the 3,000 Tiece army, this consumption is too great, and these things are not available by normal means in Dangxiang and Tuyuhun, if this kind of thing appears in large quantities on the battlefields of the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is impossible for those princes of Dangxiang and Tuyuhun to pretend not to see it. It's not even a matter of money, those powerful people who have the ability to take out these things from the party and Tuyuhun's special workshops will also consider whether they have the life to make this kind of money, this is a shady business after all, just like some Zhenyuan heavy armor from my Southern Dynasty will be smuggled to the Northern Wei Dynasty, that amount is very small after all. ”

"So this idea still doesn't work, unless you can directly get the approval of the party or the Tuyuhun royal family. Lin Yi frowned deeply, "Is it possible to please the party or the Tuyuhun royal family and obtain their acquiescence?"

"There are only two possibilities, one is that you give them an advantage that they can't refuse, and the other is that either you saved their life. Shen Kun smiled dumbly, "The people of the party and Tuyuhun are more rude and direct, but even if all the horse gangs on the border are under my control, I can't give them benefits that are difficult to refuse, unless they are too lucky, they suddenly fall into trouble, and I just happened to save their lives." So I can only be a pure intermediary for this kind of thinking of yours, and when the opportunity arises, I can let you talk to them. ”

"These are too far away. Lin Yi took a deep breath and said, "It seems that we can only try to make the Tie Ce Army the kind of army that can not obey the dispatch of the upper peak." ”

"This kind of difficulty is similar to getting the support of the party and the Tuyuhun royal family, right?"

Shen Kun couldn't help laughing, "Emperor Laozi's food and salary are not used to support your private army, you can go wherever you want to command the army, fight whoever you want, where is there such a precedent, not to mention that the military department also needs an army like Tie Cejun to help people wipe their butts." ”

"It's harder, but it's not necessarily impossible. Lin Yi didn't seem to think so.

"Then you can give it a try. ”

Shen Kun didn't argue with Lin Yi, the affairs of the court were not his forte, and he knew that he only needed to give Lin Yi some advice, so he thought about it seriously and said: "But you think it's not too difficult, you can try to take both paths, if you want to start with large-scale expendable weapons such as arrows or strange firearms, it is impossible, then I feel that sometimes combat power does not depend purely on these lethal weapons." ”

"What do you mean?" Lin Yi was slightly stunned.

"In the early years of the previous dynasty, there was a horse thief who was composed of displaced people from the Northern Wei Dynasty, specializing in the border mountains and forests, which was a big trouble for the party, and the horse thief was called the Jiama Army, in fact, they were not very good at fighting, only two specialties, one was that they ran fast, and they ran if they couldn't fight, and it was difficult to have an army to block them. Another item is that one of them has a military advisor who is actually a Taoist in the former Southern Dynasty, that Taoist is a very ordinary cultivator, born in a dilapidated small Taoist temple on the border of the Southern Dynasty, before joining that group of horse thieves, he just helped people practice some pills for a living, and later that group of horse thieves actually exchanged most of the looted money for silver, lead, and mercury. The Jintang Dan refined by the Dao people with silver, lead, and mercury is actually the heavy mercury pill that the Northern Wei Dynasty and we all have now, and it is estimated that the Dan Fang of the Northern Wei Dynasty and our dynasty is still improving, and it does not use much silver. ”

Lin Yi listened very carefully, and he also read a lot of miscellaneous records, hearing this, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but interject: "So in fact, those horse thieves consumed a lot of money and spent it on this heavy mercury pill, if they are chased by powerful cultivators, they will use this heavy mercury pill in large quantities, so that the cultivators can't help them." ”

"Not bad. Shen Kun smiled, "Those horse thieves will flee when they encounter those who can't be defeated, and when they encounter powerful cultivators, they will use a large number of this heavy mercury pill, and the heavy mercury pill powder can prevent the penetration of the true element, and can consume a large amount of the cultivator's true yuan." In a place full of such pill powder, it was difficult for cultivators to keep fighting. The army and cultivators couldn't help them, this group of horse thieves had only been rampant for decades, which had been an extreme headache for the party, and it was not until later that these horse thieves themselves distributed the spoils unevenly and changed internally. As for them running if they can't beat it, and running very fast, in fact, they all have something called Shenxing Jiama on their legs, the name is mysterious, but in fact it is just an elastic warp made of elastic steel, which can make them run fast and save effort. They walked in the mountainous areas of the party, and the cavalry could not pursue them in the mountains, and ordinary troops naturally could not catch up. ”

"This thing is not difficult to say, many heavy armors now, especially the foot armor of many True Yuan heavy armors, should be more delicate than their Divine Walking Armor Horse. Lin Yi muttered: "So what you mean is that you don't need to be better than others anywhere, as long as there are one or two special features and use them properly, you may be able to win." ”

Shen Kun said with a smile: "It's really not difficult to say, but just like now, even if some generals of the Southern Dynasty feel that this kind of divine armor horse is meritorious, but if you want to let a workshop capable of refining it help you refine it on a large scale, maybe the workshop is unwilling to do it, and the officials above may not necessarily let you do it." ”

Lin Yi nodded, "According to the style of those officials in the court, like horse thieves, learn to use horse thieves to fight horse thieves... Many officials will feel that their prestige has been compromised, and they will feel that the regular border army can't even deal with such horse thieves, what are they doing with so much food and so much well-equipped ordnance, and they have to go to a special workshop to learn the things of horse thieves? Moreover, the ideas of many officials cannot be said to be shallow, they will think, our elite border army is not specifically to deal with those horse thieves, the main enemy is still the northern border army, those things that have been made with great effort, and then it will be useless to deal with the Northern Wei army, that is not a waste? And maybe this border army will not be like it. ”

"You know the psychology of these officials more thoroughly than I do. Shen Kun cultivated a smile and said seriously: "According to your expectations, if this Tiece army under your command is transferred to the north, when will it be?"

Lin Yi didn't know the true intention of Shen Kun's words at this time, so he thought about it seriously.

According to Qi Zhuji, it seems that the military department has temporarily forgotten this iron army recently, and it is very calm above, so from this point of view, it should be the letter he wrote to Chen Baoyun that played a role.

That could well win months.

"If there are not many surprises, it may be winter. He looked at Shen Kun and said.

Shen Kun said thoughtfully: "Those states and counties in the north are much colder than Jiankang and here, and it will snow a lot. ”
