Chapter 143 A big stroke of the pen 400,000 is gone (three more to ask for a monthly ticket)

Chen Ying has a batch of captured weapons and equipment in his hands, these quantities are really not small, there are more than 3,000 horizontal knives, nearly 4,000 bows and arrows, and more than 500 crossbow machines, as for the armor and even leather armor, there are nearly 8,000 sets, especially 2,000 sets of heavy equipment, and more than 1,500 war horses.

The key is that Chen Ying can't look down on most of the seized equipment. Even the reloaded iron armor that Wang Ren regarded as a soul treasure, in Chen Ying's eyes, was about the value of scrap steel, which needed to be recast and recast. The double armor weighs forty-five catties, but its defensive power is not as good as the Mingguang armor made of high manganese steel, but the Mingguang armor is nearly ten catties lighter than the weight of the double armor, and the hoplites are ten catties more on the battlefield, which means that their combat support time is at least shortened by nearly half an hour.

Chen Ying exchanged some of the two thousand sets of heavy armor for supplies, and as for the more than 2,000 mountain-opening tomahawks in the tomahawk battalion, they ended up in baggage, which was used to cut down wood and build camps, and the effect was really good.

As for the more than 4,000 bows and arrows captured on the battlefield of Beiyuan and in the hands of Wang Xuanqiong, either because of poor production, or insufficient tension, among the more than 4,000 captured bows and arrows, there are as many as 1,000 bows with only seven buckets of tension, even if such a tension fires light arrows, it can barely reach more than 80 steps, but the most effective killing, only 30 to 50 steps, if you face the target of the iron armor equipment, then as long as a song is cool and breaks people's intestines, even if they shoot ten arrows, they can't shoot a target.

The Seven Bucket Bow does not have the ability to pierce iron armor targets, just like holding a pistol and facing a target wearing a Slavic helmet and nano body armor a hundred meters away, unless two bullets hit one, or can inflict a fatal blow on the target, it is just scratching the boot.

In Chen Ying's opinion, the people who used this kind of seven-bucket bow to equip the army deserved to be pulled out and shot. Because the Seven Bucket Bow is a hunting bow, it is almost useless unless facing an unarmored target. In Chen Ying's opinion, the bow produced by the Tang Chang'an Weapons Supervision can barely be used, at least it can fire heavy arrows to suppress the enemy's targets. Whether it is armor or not, the steel crossbow produced in the best Chen Ying's crossbow workshop, if this kind of steel crossbow with full three-stone tension is equipped with the whole army, it will be a disaster for the enemy.

Although Chen Ying's crossbow machine made of spring steel is not like a scorpion crossbow, which can hit a target three or four hundred steps away, it has no pressure on a target of one hundred to two hundred steps. At this distance, the Turkic cavalry could only be beaten and could not fight back, and the Turkic cavalry had to withstand at least three rounds of crossbow fire before they could barely get within the effective range of their cavalry bows.

Three rounds of crossbow arrows, even the most elite of the Turkic royal tent army will go around.

The most important thing is that this kind of crossbow machine, the structure is very simple, it can be divided into seventeen parts, all of which can be cast, a furnace of molten steel, after batching and stirring, can be directly poured, after simple grinding, assembly can form this powerful and sharp crossbow machine.

There were less than 300 craftsmen in Chen Ying's crossbow workshop, and they showed that they could make 500 crossbow machines in one day without the slightest pressure.

As for the scorpion crossbow, it is a tactical support weapon. The crossbow workshop is difficult to manufacture, the production speed is slow, and the cost is not cheap, it is worth mentioning, Wei Zheng's opposition, Li Jiancheng directly refused, he wrote down "Zhun Qing requested, deduct 300,000 yuan from the seized materials, used to purchase the materials and equipment, and other captured gold, silver, all transported to Chang'an ......"

Wei Zheng was very puzzled, and said unceremoniously: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince supports Chen Ying to do this, what is the difference between this and a loser?" ”

After all, Datang's life is not easy. Especially last year, Hedong suffered from Liu Wuzhou's military disaster, and it was almost impossible to collect taxes, not only could not collect them, but also asked the imperial court to allocate funds to build a city to appease the people whose families were ruined and died. However, because of Liu Wuzhou's military disaster, the number of victims in Hedong Zhuzhou County exceeded 300,000, which emptied the treasury of the Tang Dynasty.

It's hard for other officials to say, at least Wei Zheng is still waiting for the imperial court's Yu Lu to take the pot. Therefore, the seizure of 700,000 guan can greatly alleviate the emptiness of the treasury of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, the so-called ass decides a head.

Because of their different positions, Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng considered different angles. Li Yuan is obviously partial to Li Shimin, if Wang Shichong is eliminated, then Li Shimin will definitely be rewarded. There have been faint rumors in the palace that once Li Shimin eliminates Wang Shichong and occupies the entire Central Plains, Li Yuan will reward Li Shimin as the general of Tiance, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, ranking above the generals of all armies, and becoming the commander of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses.

The pressure on Li Jiancheng is too great, Li Jiancheng has the name of supervising the country, but he has no reality of supervising the country. Although Li Shimin does not have the fact of supervising the country, he can lead the six departments in the name of Shangshu Province Shangshu Ling, and control the heavy power of the imperial court.

Li Mengwei, the big celebrity next to Li Shimin, served as the right Weiwei general, Du Junqian was the right leading Wei general, Zheng Rentai was the right Wuwei general, and Dugu Yanyun was the left leading general. That is to say, among the thirty-two generals of the Sixteen Guards, Li Shimin has already controlled three generals and one big general.

In the future, Wang Shichong will be pacified, and Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, Gongsun Wuda, Liu Shili and other generals under Li Shimin will also be promoted to one of the 16 Wei generals with the help of Li Shimin. With Chen Ying's great merits, it is understandable to be promoted to the general of the left military or the general of the right military army, and Li Jiancheng naturally thinks that Li Yuan is weakening his military power.

As the saying goes, those who seek more win, and those who plan less win. Since Li Jiancheng couldn't stop Li Yuan from favoritism at this time, he could only take precautions.

Li Jiancheng also did not want to be the second prince, when the prince Liu Ju was in danger by Jiang Chong, Su Wen and Liu Quchao and others, he had to kill Jiang Chong, but unfortunately, he was finally defeated by Liu Quchao and committed suicide in defeat.

The military power held by the crown prince has always been feared by the emperor. Li Jiancheng only had 30,000 soldiers and horses, six rates. This force Li Yuan will definitely not sit idly by and watch him expand his army, just when Li Jiancheng was in a dilemma, Chen Ying proposed a new plan for him at this time.

Strengthen the six-rate equipment of the East Palace, each soldier is equipped with three blades, and once the situation requires it, the army can be expanded at any time, and the number of troops can be tripled, without having to worry about weapons and equipment.

With a conscience at the bottom of the world, Chen Ying absolutely did not mean to bewitch Li Jiancheng, raise armaments, and beware of Li Shimin, but the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin was directed by Li Yuan himself at the beginning, but as Li Shimin's power became greater and greater, Li Shimin began to swell.

It turned out to be a tragedy.

Li Jiancheng rushed to Wei Zheng and said: "Prepare the carriage, the palace is going to enter the palace!" ”

Following Li Jiancheng along the way, Wei Zheng still wanted to persuade Li Jiancheng to change his mind, but Li Jiancheng was also determined to improve his sense of armament, and he did not change his attitude at all.

"Da Lang...... What is the joy of something? Li Yuan seemed to be in a good mood at this time, and when he saw Li Jiancheng coming, he said with a smile.

"I really know my son like my father!" Li Jiancheng slapped Li Yuan without a trace: "If my son has something, he can't hide it from his father!" ”

Li Yuan laughed when he heard this.

Pei Lin has always played the role of a servant, a teacher, a friend and a minister in front of Li Yuan, watching this father and son pulling a family routine, Pei Lin didn't intervene, his eyelids drooped, and he thought he was a puppet.

Li Jiancheng put a recital in Li Yuan's hand.

Li Yuan was about to open it.

Li Jiancheng said: "Father, you might as well guess, what is this?" ”

Li Yuan closed the watch and said in a deep voice: "I haven't opened the government now." The affairs of the yamen have not yet been sent to the palace, if it is a 100,000 urgent event, the palace will definitely get a letter, Erlang sent troops for five days, and the calculation time has just passed Tongguan, and there has not been good news so soon, this is Chen Ying's good news? ”

"Although it is not hit, it is not far away!" Li Jiancheng gently opened the watch, pointed to the words on it, and said, "Father, great joy." Although General Chen did not conquer Hangu Pass, he seized Taolin, robbed Wang Shichong's vault in Taolin, and seized 20,000 taels of gold, more than 100,000 taels of silver, and 100 carts of copper coins! ”

Well, this is the normal ecology of officialdom. How much gold and silver Chen Ying seized, it is a matter of benevolence and wisdom, he reported 700,000 yuan to Li Jiancheng, of course, what he ate was not counted. The watch reached Li Jiancheng's hand, and Li Jiancheng swept away with a stroke of 400,000 strokes.

Li Yuan and Pei Lin were worried about the depleted treasury, and suddenly seeing the huge wealth of 300,000 yuan, the smile on Li Yuan's face deepened, and of course, the old age spots on his face became more obvious.

"Good, good, good!" Li Yuan said three good words in a row.

Pei Lin suddenly opened his eyes, bowed down to Li Yuan, and said deeply: "The old minister congratulates Your Majesty!" This is the Tang Dynasty! ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "General Chen captured Wang Shichong......"

Pei Lian, as Li Yuan's good friend, how could he not know what Li Yuan was thinking, as the so-called landlord's family had no surplus grain, and Li Yuan's inner treasury was about to dry up. He has so many concubines to reward, and the seasonal festivals, especially the Shangyuan Festival, are coming, and when the time comes, he will have to feast on the ministers, and Li Yuan must be having a headache for money.

Pei Lin said with a smile: "General Chen took the lead, fought bloodily, killed more than 10,000 enemies, and captured 18,000 ...... of thief gold."

"Hmmm......"

Li Yuan snorted through his nose.

Pei Lin hurriedly changed his words: "10,000 taels of gold and more than 50,000 taels of silver were seized to fill the treasury!" ”

If Chen Ying stood here, he would definitely be dumbfounded. Li Jiancheng waved a big pen and 700,000 guan was less than half, and Li Yuan was not ambiguous, and directly reduced it by half.

PS: Thank you for the ruthless 2,000 yuan reward from the book friend, tomorrow Lao Cheng will participate in the screenwriting competition, and I want to take a good rest today. There are only three watches today, and I hope you understand. Strive for a change tomorrow.
