Return to the Song Dynasty

Zhao Man's idea is very simple, use violence to control violence!It is to equip a "heavy armor full armor" that is more brave than an iron kite, and a heavy cavalry unit with extremely strong combat and defense capabilities. Its role is like a tank in modern warfare, invincible and invincible.However, such heavy armor must sacrifice the mobility of the cavalry, so it is necessary to equip two more mobile and flexible light cavalry to echo each other and cooperate in combat.

In addition, Zhao Man also thought of a simple version of infantry armor.This kind of iron armor is not like ordinary iron armor that needs to make countless armor pieces, and then connect them with leather strips or iron nails, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. Instead, it directly uses a whole piece of iron armor, with one piece each for the chest, abdomen, two thighs, and two upper arms. The six pieces of armor generally protect the vital points, are simple and easy to implement, and can be produced in large quantities quickly and distributed to ordinary soldiers, greatly improving the defense capabilities of ordinary infantry.

(In the Song Dynasty, horses were scarce, and they mainly relied on infantry, so the infantry also had heavy infantry equipped with iron armor, but this kind of equipment was very labor-intensive and financially resource-intensive, and it was estimated to be limited to the elite central troops. Frontier local troops like Zhao Man and the others should It's totally out of reach.)

If Zhao Man's plan can be realized, then this will be equipped with the first heavy cavalry unit in the Song Dynasty, and will also form the first heavy cavalry unit in the Song Dynasty, supplemented by light cavalry, and will also join infantry and hands to assist in combat The perfect regiment.Being able to have such a corps, as far as the world is concerned, as long as the commander is not in the water, it is absolutely invincible!Invincible!

It is simply a group of humanoid killers attacking fortified positions, even if they have no combat skills, they will never be defeated!Absolute strength crushes the enemy!With such a corps, everyone sees a possibility, a hope!It seems that we can no longer be passively beaten, and can gallop as much as we want, attacking the city and conquering the land, so that everything we look at is the territory of the Han family!

Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!No wonder the old Mr. Zhang, with his white hair, slapped tables and chairs, all kinds of excitement, Brother Yao Xiong and Vice General Yang laughed wildly.As a result, the guards guarding the door and the messengers who were about to enter the house to report the news were a little nervous, thinking that the generals inside had some kind of plague collectively, and their spirits were not normal.

The little soldier who entered the room tremblingly to report, looked at all kinds of crazy generals in the room, and then looked at the only one sitting and drinking tea, Zhao Man, who was calm and graceful, and immediately had a different opinion. 'Looking at Zhao Canjun, it's not surprising. Alas, why are our generals so careless?Yo, even Zhang Xianggong is so virtuous.Tsk tsk, really...' Of course, Comrade Xiao Bing only dared to shake his head silently, expressing his hatred of iron being weak.

Since Zhao Man obviously had some new ideas to finish, Zhang Xianggong decisively decided not to go back to the treatment center with the large army.Zhang Xianggong, who was full of white hair that night, fought all night with the lights on, first drafted a memorandum lightly, and briefly reported it to the officials.Anyway, the imperial court has agreed to establish a temporary munitions factory on Jingyuan Road, and report that after the munitions factory is completed, it will produce a batch of military armor and weapons to make up for the lack of weapons and equipment issued by the central government.By the way, weep for poverty, talk about suffering, and ask the central government for support and more funds.

The imperial court has plenty of money, so instead of spending it on singing and dancing to promote peace and enrich cultural life, it is better to spend more on equipping the army.The official Zhao Xu is not the Empress Dowager Gao of the Peaceful Faction. Since taking office, he has not only ordered the re-implementation of the Yuanfeng New Law, but also has a very tough attitude towards Xixia (Zhao Xu: How dare you send someone to kill me, I will die with Xixia Knock to the end!).

Therefore, as long as this memorial can reach the official hands, it will definitely be approved.What's more, he just asked for some money, and the production of equipment was done by Jing Yuanlu himself, and no other officials were involved in the errands. It is estimated that there will be very few opposition voices, and there will be no big disturbances.

Why do you still want money from the court?The production of weapons and equipment is not a small amount of money. Of course, if you can get more money from the central government, you can get more money. If there is still a shortage, you can make up for it yourself.Naturally, you can save your own money as much as you can. If you have more skills, you will not be overwhelmed, and if you have more money, you will be happy! —— Zhao Manyu

Zhao Xu: As your elder brother, have you ever thought about my feelings?

Zhao Man: I don't feel wronged.Besides, it is only right and proper to use your money to do things for you. We don’t care if you ask for some money. We do all the other things ourselves, and we didn’t ask you to do them. Sitting back and enjoying the success, you still earn it!

Zhao Xu: Well, there seems to be some truth...

Just to be on the safe side, Zhang Laoxianggong also specially gave a letter of resignation to his cousin Zhang Dun, who has been promoted to Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi (equivalent to the prime minister), and briefly revealed some causes and consequences, hoping that the younger brother will help his elder brother at the critical moment .At the end, he chatted unsatisfactorily about Zhao Man, the young star of tomorrow who "lighted the lamp of hope" for himself. The words of praise were beyond words, which left a deep impression on Zhao Man in Zhang Dun's heart.

After writing the memorabilia and family letter, Zhang Xianggong wrote an emotional and emotional personal letter to his confidant Chen Canjun with great excitement. A bright future for the Legion.Of course, the letter also comes with three armor making drawings, which record the characteristics of the armor and the matters needing attention in making it in detail.

And in accordance with the principle of stealing the sky and changing the day discussed with Zhao Man, the materials are purchased in a decentralized manner, and the production is strictly kept secret. The main body and the parts involving core secrets are all operated by its own munitions factory. Some parts that have no technical requirements and no clues can be dispersed. If you entrust other munitions factories or private small workshops to produce, of course, the final integration process must be completed independently by your own munitions factory. This can not only greatly increase the manufacturing speed, but also keep the technology confidential, killing two birds with one stone.

This matter is of great importance, so Zhang Laoxiang asked Chen Canjun to plan this matter on his behalf.As for himself, he planned to stay in Huizhou camp for a while, so he would not go back. (Chen Canjun: Damn, how could there be such a leader!) After writing the letter, Zhang Yi summoned his confidants and sent it out quickly.The confidential letter with blueprints to Chen Canjun was delivered by Yao Gu himself at the government office.

With everything properly arranged, Mr. Zhang began to enjoy his business trip leisurely.Yao Xiong: Of course you are old and carefree. You are inspected by a superior. We still have to eat and drink for us. You even took over my house~~~~(>_<)~~~~

"Xiao Man, what are you going to do? Braised pork in braised pork for lunch today?" Early in the morning, Mr. Zhang floated over, stroking his three strands of long beard.

"Hey, you can eat braised pork if you want. But these two pigs are not for eating now. I have been thinking about the invulnerability of the iron kite, which is quite annoying. How about trying to use some other weapons today?" Zhao said. With a sly smile, he waved his hands, and the soldiers on both sides quickly put heavy armor on the two pigs that had just been slaughtered by the butcher and had not had time to disembowel them.

"Huh? What? This pig is dead, and you can put armor on it to protect it, so it won't survive?" Yao Xiong poked his head out to interject.

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb." Deputy General Yang gave Yao Xiong a hard look.Zhang Xianggong is here, and he didn't pay attention to what he said. Seeing Tian'er's foolishness, he threw embarrassment in front of Shangfeng.

Seeing the burly man who came to Zhang Wei and continued to chatter, Vice General Yang turned his face away helplessly. 'Oh, the emperor is not in a hurry with the eunuchs, I'm the only one who worries about it. '

"For this experiment, using live pigs is too cruel, I really can't bear it, so I used the ones slaughtered in the kitchen instead." After finishing his work, Zhao Man raised his head and said to Yao Xiong: "Little bear, how is your arm strength? "

This is on point. "I'm not bragging, but I can draw a three-stone bow!" Yao Xiong patted his chest and said proudly.

"So powerful!" In fact, Zhao Man didn't know how powerful Sanshi was, anyway, he looked awesome, but... "Then why haven't you seen you use bows and arrows?" Curious baby Zhao Man asked.Mr. Zhang was also very curious.Although Yao Xiong is usually good at using spears and knives, if he has the super strong arm strength to open a three-stone bow, he should be considered a very good shooter. Zhao Man has never seen Yao Xiong use a bow, which is really strange.

"Eh... this, this..." Yao Xiong faltered for a moment, and his face flushed after a while.

Vice-General Yang couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "That's because he's too poor in accuracy, and he's full of brute force, so he can't use it at all!" up.The generals who were familiar with Yao Xiong also burst into laughter.Yao Xiong's old face was flushed with embarrassment, and he scolded himself for being stupid.

"Well, the head is not important, strength is the key, here, take this." It was Zhao Man who was considerate, and quickly gave Yao Xiong a hammer, "It's round, try to hit it here." Zhao Man Man pointed to the chest and belly of a pig.

"Huh? Hit the pig to death with a sledgehammer?" Yao Xiong's eyes widened instantly.This guy was still immersed in the sadness of his poor shooting accuracy, so he didn't turn the corner for a while.

"Well, yes! It's just to beat the pig to death with a sledgehammer, just hit here." Zhao Man affirmed with a smile.

Although I don't understand why, the naive little bear still followed Zhao Man's instructions very seriously, exercised his muscles and bones a few times, rounded up a tiger dancing with a big hammer, and gave the armored dead pig a hard blow. Take a hard hit.

"Kacha" came the crisp sound of bones breaking in an instant, and everyone present was all toothache.

Before Yao Xiong finished the task and took a break, Zhao Man handed over another hammer, but this hammer was a bit strange.Everyone also looked curiously at this strange figure making a few protruding round hammers, what is this?

"Use this to hit this pig again." Zhao Man didn't explain, but pointed to another armored pig with a smile.

"Okay, look at me!" To Yao Xiong, two rounds of the hammer were nothing at all, he pointed at another armored pig, and still gave another hammer.

"Kacha" came another sound of broken bones, and everyone was no longer surprised.

Zhang Xianggong and Deputy General Yang, who had been silent all this time, could see some way.Two hammers, two pigs, and the same person basically have the same strength and striking method, so the comparison is more obvious.Everyone gathered together to study the effect of the blow, and there really wasn't much damage on the surface, that is, two pieces of armor were lost, and the flesh inside seemed to have not changed much.But those two teeth-stinging sounds of bones breaking just now could never be fake.

After everyone hurriedly stripped off the outer armor of the two dead pigs, the two big dents in the chest and abdomen made the crowd speechless.Zhao Man didn't think it was enough, so he specially borrowed the butcher's butcher's knife, and asked Yao Xiong and Vice General Yang to do it himself, and carefully cut open the belly of the two pigs.

Crash, the bone chips and internal organs flew together, and the blood was all over the intestines!The first pig was in better condition than the second, with broken ribs and bruised internal organs.The viscera of the second head was severely damaged, and there were broken bones inserted into the broken viscera, which flowed to the ground together with blood, water and minced meat. The scene was extremely miserable.
