Chapter Ninety-Three Dumbfounded

Chen Ying was also inexplicably wonderful, looking at Li Xiuning in confusion, not knowing why her reaction was so big.

However, what Chen Ying didn't know was that since Chai Shao's newlywed Li Xiuning fled for his life alone in the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Xiuning left a shadow in his heart, and hated those men who didn't stand in the way. All the troops commanded by Princess Pingyang know very well that if a soldier shows timidity or flees in fear of battle on the battlefield, Princess Pingyang does not need to supervise the team at all, and directly draws a knife and cuts people.

So for those who have no obstacles, Li Xiuning has never been a fake color. When Li Xiuning saw Chen Ying's gift list of six or seven hundred yuan, he couldn't help but be angry. She instantly thought of only one possibility, Chen Ying sent her such a heavy gift, the purpose was to push off the envoy who supported Lingzhou.

Going to Lingzhou to support is not only risky, but also very hard along the way. Looking at Chen Ying's fine skin and tender meat, he definitely didn't want to suffer this hardship.

When she met Chai Shao, she had no choice. In her marriage with Chai Shao, she couldn't be her own master, and when Li Xiuning met Chen Ying, she thought she had met her beloved. However, in fact, Chen Ying is not a waste of gold and jade. Thinking of this, Li Xiuning couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

Suddenly, Li Xiuning's pretty face turned hideous, and she roared with all her might: "Get out, don't let this palace see you again!" ”

Chen Ying didn't know what kind of princess Li Xiuning was sick, and an evil aura went straight to his head, and he was about to do it, but when he saw Li Xiuning's cold eyes staring at him in the light were very different from before, he was stunned, and finally understood in his heart that Li Xiuning was the lord and he was a minister.

He is a minister. --"The Book of Rites, Rites and Fortunes" pictograms. The oracle bone glyph resembles the shape of an erect eye. When a person bows his head, his eyes are in an erect position, and the glyph is a sign of bowing down. Original meaning: refers to a male ** subordinate. Chen Ying is still a minister after all, and he is still a servant of the monarch. He said lightly: "Even if Her Royal Highness the princess is not rare to see these blockages, Chen Ying doesn't need these to be eyesore!" ”

As he spoke, Chen Ying picked up the snow-white, handsome and lovely Shih Tzu and walked towards the door.

When Chen Ying left, he was very resolute, and even Ma Sanbao wanted to pull him to drink together, so he directly pushed it away.

After this incident, Chen Ying strengthened his confidence that he must be a person. Not to mention a princess, even the emperor doesn't want to throw himself face.

Back at the mansion, Chen Ying covered his head and slept until the next day's sunrise, when Chen Ying woke up leisurely. Chen Ying is this good, no matter what setbacks or things don't go well, if you cover your head and sleep, you will definitely be resurrected with full blood the next day.

After a simple wash, Chen Ying saw Lan'er holding the Shih Tzu dog, and said cautiously: "Lang Jun, can you not kill Xiaobai and eat meat?" ”

"Eating meat? What kind of meat to eat? ”

Chen Ying was a little inexplicable.

Seeing that the cart full of wealth and wealth came back after a circle, Lan'er was very happy. Lan'er said: "I heard that this kind of little dog meat rolls up and down three times, and the gods can't stand on their feet!" ”

"Don't listen to people's nonsense, this Shih Tzu can buy three or five hundred sheep, who can afford to eat it! If you like it, I'll give it to you. ”

"Thank you, Lang Jun!"

This Shih Tzu is so beautiful, not to mention Lan'er, even Chen Ying likes it very much.

Before Chen Ying had breakfast, a servant named Qian Xiaowu in the East Palace was instructed by the prince to summon Chen Ying into the palace to discuss matters, Chen Ying did not dare to slack off, picked up two steamed buns, and followed Qian Xiaowu towards the East Palace. The steamed bread of this era is different from the steamed bread of later generations, to be precise, it should be a steamed bun with meat filling. However, Chen Ying does not eat the fishy smell of mutton, and the steamed buns in Chen's house are made with large meat filling.

All the way to the East Palace, Li Jiancheng was not polite to Chen Ying, and met Chen Ying in the warm pavilion where the meal was eaten. Li Jiancheng said: "Come, come, come, sit down and drink a bowl of porridge without breakfast." ”

Chen Ying was not angry, and sat down and asked Gong E, who was waiting on the side, to help fill a bowl of millet porridge and eat it.

Li Jiancheng said: "It's really an eventful time now, Liu Wu and Zhou's soldiers have committed Fenzhou and Jinzhou, your holy decree will be issued in three days at most, and the province will issue it, what materials do you need to prepare, this palace will prepare it for you in advance!" ”

Chen Ying actually guessed that Li Jiancheng called himself over early in the morning mostly for this matter, thinking that if Li Jiancheng didn't say it, Chen Ying would also mention it to him.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Qiqi, the entire army of Xun Erfu is mainly equipped with hook and sickle guns, and there is a big gap in bows and crossbows and armor." Chen Yingdao: "Although the hook and sickle spear is very powerful, it can only deal with the rebels in the side enterprise, and the whole army in the side enterprise rebel army does not have a few bows, so it does not wear armor, and it has little impact." However, both the Turks and the Liang divisions were equipped with a considerable number of bows and crossbows, and they were not armoured, and once they fought, they would definitely suffer amazing losses. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded, looking at the tips of the silver-inlaid chopsticks, thinking that Chen Ying was not satisfied except for his poor background. Whether it is defeating Luo Zonghu or the side enterprise, Chen Ying has a certain element of luck in it. Zong Luohu was careless in Jingzhou, did not look at Chen Ying, and suffered a big loss for negligence.

And the side enterprise land was because Mrs. Chongyi accidentally shot and killed the side enterprise land. It is also equivalent to Chen Yingbai picking up a credit. Although luck is also a kind of strength, a person cannot always have good luck.

It is rare that he completely recognizes the situation, and his scheming and courage are no worse than others.

Li Jiancheng is not taboo that young people are better and more scheming than him, if he wants to master the future of the Tang Dynasty, it is not possible to rely on those mediocre talents who can only slap horses, of course, it is impossible to be himself.

Li Jiancheng said: "There are some in the treasury of the armor Chang'an City Mansion, how much do you need, report the number!" ”

As soon as Chen Ying heard this, he was naturally not polite, and immediately opened a list.

The main types of armor in the Tang Dynasty are divided into 13 types, including Mingguang, Guangyao, Fine Scale, Shanwen, Bird Hammer, White Cloth, Soapjuan, Cloth Back, Infantry, Leather Armor, Wooden Armor, Chains, and Vests. Among them, Mingguang, Guangyao, Chain, Mountain, Bird Hammer, and Fine Scale Armor are iron armor, and the latter three are named after the style of armor armor pieces. Leather armor, wooden armor, white cloth, soap, and cloth back are named after the materials used to make them. Among the armor, it is still the most common use of the bright light armor.

Of course, the characteristics and functions of each type of armor are different, and chain mail is generally made of wire or iron ring buckles to form a garment, and each ring is interlocked with the other four rings, like a net lock. It was introduced to China from the Western Regions, and the earliest record is found in the "Armor Table of the First Emperor's Ministers". Book of Jin. LΓΌ Guang Zai Ji describes this type of armor as "armor like a ring lock, inaccessible to shots." Of course, chain mail is good at defending against bows and crossbows, but it is less defensive against slashing with knives and axes.

Although the chain mail is not as powerful as the Mingguang armor, it is lighter, which makes it easier for the soldier to make flexible and complex body movements, such as running and jumping.

Chen Ying immediately wrote: 800 pairs of Mingguang armor, 600 pairs of chain mail and 600 pairs of mountain pattern armor.

Li Jiancheng glanced at it and shook his head.

Chen Ying also thought that Li Jiancheng was dissatisfied with Chen Ying's overreporting, and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, the loss rate of this armor after the first battle is amazing, and the ministers report more just to serve as a reserve......

"How can this palace not even know about this!"

Li Jiancheng picked up the pen and added a few strokes to the paper, and the number actually became 1,800 pairs of Mingguang armor, 1,600 pairs of chain mail, mountain pattern armor and fine scale armor, and a number of horizontal knives, Mo knives, spears, and shields.

Chen Ying looked at the numbers written by Li Jiancheng, dumbfounded, the list that Li Jiancheng listed for him was enough to arm tens of thousands of horses.
