Chapter 334: Literati and Warriors Who Open Their Eyes to the World
It was the two-wheeled van that Jinghu made Lu Wenhuan move out!
It's just a model, much smaller, concrete and subtle.
Wen Tianxiang was overjoyed and said: "With this thing, the Northern Expedition can be successful!" β
"Easier said than done! This thing is so heavy and unbearable that if you use a horse, it will be a waste of horsepower, and if you use someone to pull it, there must be at least six people!
It makes sense that my Great Song didn't use this thing to fight the golden dogs before------ just because the car array has many flaws, and the use environment is limited, not to mention, it is afraid of fire attacks or single infantry death-defying attacks!
In the words of Zhang Daozhu, it seriously lacks mobility, is passively beaten, is easily surrounded by the enemy on all sides, and even if it wins, it is difficult to pursue the remnants of the enemy, and it is still acceptable for short-distance defense------ but it is inconvenient for the Northern Expedition.
Come on, take me on my four-wheeled fort! β
Lu Wenhuan, the envoy of Jinghu Manufacturing, was on the rise at this time, so he took out his secret weapon.
In fact, it is a model of a four-wheeled carriage, not only the carriage is inlaid with iron sheets, but even the wheels are inlaid with ------ Lu Wenhuan proudly opened and lowered the roof of the carriage, put it down and opened it again, and then pulled open three small windows on the open roof.
Wen Tianxiang immediately understood that the open roof could be used as a cover, and the small window could be used to shoot a crossbow or a firecracker!
It's definitely better than a two-wheeled van!
Of course, Wen Tianxiang also knew the convenience of the four-wheeled carriage, but when he was in Ganzhou, most of them were pulled by donkeys.
Wen Tianxiang smiled and said, "The Northern Expedition with this thing will definitely succeed!" β
Lu Wenhuan shook his head slightly, he raised two fingers and said, "There are two things that are not right. One is that the bearings of the big car have to be the best produced by Liuqiu Island, and I have asked my craftsmen to make them, but the result is not more than a hundred miles.
No, the cart is too bulky!
The second thing is that the war horse ------ four horses are needed for one car, but my Da Song is short of horses! β
Lu Wenhuan, the Jinghu system, smiled and saw Wen Tianxiang's face full of disappointment, and added: "However, the owner of Zhang Island of Liuqiu Island promised me that he could provide me with two hundred wheels and bearings with eucommia tape in half a year, and I have already made the rest of the two------ but eight hundred war horses, not that there are them!" β
Wen Tianxiang suddenly thought of something, and said: "I read it in the "Liuqiu Times", Liuqiu Island has raised nearly 10,000 horses on Jeju Island, and it shouldn't be a problem to sell me a few thousand horses in the Great Song Dynasty, right?" β
Jinghu made Lu Wenhuan smile and said: "Those are mostly foals, you have to wait a year or two before you can use them, and even Liuqiu Island itself is short of war horses, how can you sell me easily------ it won't be the case with my Great Song." β
Wen Tianxiang sighed and said, "How does Your Excellency's male soldiers compare to the Liuqiu Guard?!" β
Jinghu made Lu Wenhuan immediately shake his head and said, "It can't be compared!" ------ if you raise the power of the Great Song Dynasty, I'm afraid it won't work----- their warships are far more powerful than my Great Song Dynasty.
A few months ago, they sent a smoky sea ship all the way up the current to bring kerosene and other goods.
I saw that the boat was almost as fast as my sailboat going down the river!! β
Both of them were silent for a moment.
Jinghu made Lu Wenhuan stand up suddenly, and he opened a curtain in the tent with a bang, and a huge world map appeared behind him------ of course, it was still the map that the island owner Zhang let people release.
Wen Tianxiang saw that there were dozens of line segments painted on it in four colors, including red, green, blue, and yellow.
"Perform good, come and see, the states and counties marked in red are all owned by my Great Song Dynasty; The places marked in blue are the places occupied by the island of Liuqiu; Green is for the Tatar robbers; Yellow, that's a wild place overseas. β
Wen Tianxiang has a slight short-sightedness and cannot farsightedness, and once asked a famous doctor for this, and the doctor replied:
"Those who can be short-sighted but not farsighted, have insufficient yang qi and more yin qi, but qi is deficient and blood is abundant. There is more than enough blood and yin fire, and those who are deficient in qi are also weak. β
As a result, after drinking the medicinal soup for more than a year, it didn't have the slightest effect------ fortunately it wasn't too heavy, so it didn't take it seriously.
He leaned forward, squinting and looking hard.
I saw that the Great Song Dynasty was crushed by the land occupied by the Tatar bandits------ and the Dali region was recovered, and there was still less pressure.
The place of Liuqiu Island is interesting, except for one in Shandong, the rest are basically some blue spots!
The blue dots started from Jeju Island in the east and went all the way to the southwest, and the five or six blue dots reached Nanazhu------ and then went west, all the way to the Egyptian region.
Lu Wenhuan, the envoy of Jinghu System, sighed: "My Great Song Dynasty has no intention of the ocean, then Liuqiu Island has no intention of the mainland------ so overseas is not a fertile land!" β
Wen Tianxiang nodded in agreement, of course he knew where the spices came from, why they were getting cheaper and cheaper now, and some ordinary people's homes could also use them.
These things have been introduced in the "Liuqiu Times".
Lu Wenhuan, the envoy of Jinghu System, said leisurely behind him: "Lushan, do you still want to go to the Independent Northern Expedition?" β
Wen Tianxiang pondered for a long time and said, "Not feasible. After all, the New Red Eyebrow Army and the New Wagangzhai Army are reckless heroes----- even Your Excellency's male soldiers cannot confront the Tatars head-on for a while------"
The meaning is obvious------ my men who carry whistle sticks are simply going to die.
Lu Wenhuan, the envoy of Jinghu Manufacturing, stroked his beard leisurely and said, "Lushan, what do you think of my Xiangyang City?" β
"The city is tall and sturdy no less than Lin'an, the people's livelihood in the city is far more prosperous than Ganzhou, the merchants and people live in peace and the military industry, and the soldiers are unstoppable!"
"Hehehehe------ where do you want to go?"
The meaning of Jinghu is too obvious, he wants to accept Wen Tianxiang as a staff member------ it is difficult for a scholar to have as much insight as him.
Not to mention anything else, LΓΌ Wenhuan, the envoy of the Jinghu system, absolutely agreed with Wen Tianxiang's idea of uniting the Mamluk dynasty to jointly attack the Tatar bandit group.
Wen Tianxiang didn't think about it, he pointed to Liuqiu Island and said, "I want to go, I am willing to borrow Your Excellency's sea boat to go to sea!" β
Jinghu made Lu Wenhuan cough a few times in embarrassment, and said, "------ Lushan, how can you have such an idea?!" β
Wen Tianxiang said with a righteous face: "I heard that the owner of Zhang Island, who is on Liuqiu Island, can sell the four-wheeled carriages of merchants and people at will, and has ten thousand war horses------ how can he only want to benefit and delay the battle of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty?!"
I will say it with great righteousness----- Your Excellency and wait for my news! β
Jinghu made Lu Wenhuan swallow a mouthful of saliva unconsciously, a little annoyed.
He knew that it was impossible for Wen Tianxiang to know the relationship between the Lu Military Group and the New Chimei Army and the Xinwa Gangzhai Army, nor could he know that they were inextricably linked to Liuqiu Island------ this guy was also in his forties, and he looked like a stunned young man!
He deeply understood the reason why the Great Song Dynasty government was reluctant to reuse literati like Xin Qiji------ they were all all good all the way, they didn't keep their own work, and they always wanted to cross the line!
Jinghu made Lu Wenhuan lose the heart to accept it all of a sudden, if he stayed by his side, who knows what unexpected things he could do at that time!
Didn't you want to find the owner of Zhang? Go, that man is a real businessman------ then see if your righteousness can be done!!
