"The country is people-oriented. Only when the people are good will the country be good. Those of us in power must remember that today's power, status, and wealth are all given by the people, and we must not be arrogant and indulgent, otherwise we will follow in the footsteps of the Song people of the past. ”

Deng Yun let out a long sigh, and when Liang Xing heard it, his heart twitched, he nodded heavily, and said, "Don't worry about this." You, the king of Yan, lead by example, how dare we, the courtiers, be presumptuous? However, it is said that at present, all over the country have begun to recruit troops and buy horses according to the orders of the lord, because the benefits in the army are good, and the lord has won the hearts of the people, and the money and food are sufficient. Military camps everywhere are overcrowded, and in just a few months, hundreds of thousands of new recruits have been recruited. However, the lord previously proposed that soldiers are not more expensive, but more refined, and let the generals pick out strong people from among them.

Those under the age of 14 and over 50 had to go back to farming or work in the village to take care of their families.

All the generals also complied one by one, and began to make various selections from Xinding, and it should be two months later that they will be able to start training the new army. ”

"Hmm. Once these new troops start training, if there are no veterans to bring them, this will not work. You gave me an order to promote some veterans in the army, even if they were relatively mediocre in talent, it didn't matter. Now that the procedures for military training have been set, the most important thing is to be disciplined and bloody in combat. These old brothers are all born and died with us, and I can rest assured that I will hand them over. ”

Deng Yun said in a condensed voice. Liang Xing immediately kept it in mind, and the two drank a few cups of tea and rested for a while. Liang Xing's face was shocked, and then he said: "In addition to recruitment, the construction of dragon artillery has also begun to step up. Over the years, after several modifications by Lord Tang, the new dragon artillery is not only lighter and easier to carry, but also has a lot more range. Today, there are about 3,000 old and new models. With the addition of 800 Heaven-Shaking Thunder, there are about 4,000 artillery pieces. ”

Liang Xing's eyes shone brightly, but Deng Yun was calm, he knew that there could be so many cannons, but they were all piled up with money, after little by little accumulation. Among them, the research funds allocated to Tang Fuliao have 100,000 taels of silver every year, which is the hard-earned money of the people!

However, the wealth of the Yan people is already known to the world. For the Yan people, the annual tax paid is just a drop in the penny. But Deng Yun, as the king of a country, does not want to waste the slightest, and even spends extremely sparingly on weekdays, at most with some large families in Yan Kingdom. Most of the food and clothing on weekdays are gifts from those merchants.

"Although the artillery is powerful, once it is cloudy and rainy, it is difficult to exert its power, and if the Jin people choose to attack in the rainy season of spring and early summer, it will be troublesome. And the siege weapons of the Jin people are also different. Fighting in the field, and the army of the Iron Floating Massacre, this ironclad army should not be underestimated!! ”

Deng Yun said, he couldn't help narrowing his eyes, back then, the Iron Futu of the Golden Vulture killed nearly tens of thousands of his troops, and the death squad brothers who first joined the army with him died most of them in that battle. Thinking of the faces of those old brothers, Deng Yun clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned white.

Liang Xing also showed a little loneliness, and sighed: "As the lord said, if you can't deal with this ironclad army, once you have to fight in the field, it will be really unfavorable for our army." ”

Liang Xing said, and the two fell into silence, as if they were both thinking of a plan. Deng Yun tapped the table lightly with his fingers, slowly closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought, constantly flickering the pictures of Tiefutu in his mind, analyzing its advantages and disadvantages.

When Deng Yun opened his eyes, the sky was dark, and Liang Xing didn't dare to disturb him, he had been working hard for days and collecting intelligence, and he didn't even fall asleep.

And at the moment when Deng Yun's eyes opened, it was as if two rays of light shot out, shaking Liang Xing's body and waking up.

"You quickly pass on my order, teach the generals, from their recruits, gather all the strong men who can lift two hundred pounds of boulders, and then immediately send them to Yanjing. I've made a big difference!! In addition, order Tang Fuliao again, come and see me immediately!! I have something important to discuss with him!! ”

Deng Yun spoke sharply, and his appearance was extremely excited. Liang Xing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the order to retreat. Deng Yun immediately calmed down and sorted out what he was thinking about just now. Suddenly, I heard the sound of shouting and shouting next to me, and when I saw that Xiao Rulong was still practicing, I felt a pang in my heart and couldn't help but walk over.

The night was getting dark, and I saw that Xiao Rulong was still dancing his fists desperately, swinging all kinds of moves, sweating non-stop, and the clothes on his body were already soaked, although he was exhausted, he still gritted his teeth and held back, refused to rest, and concentrated on exercising, even Deng Yun walked over, and he didn't notice it.

"Drink~~!!"

Xiao Rulong's eyes were focused, he pushed his hands and gathered his strength, as if he had found some doorway, and he fought hard, and the small wooden stake immediately broke in response.

Deng Yun couldn't help but show surprise, surprised by the strength of Xiao Rulong, and surprised that he was able to explore the truth of Wing Chun's combination of rigidity and softness so quickly.

"Good!!" Deng Yun couldn't help but praise, then walked to the wooden stake on the other side, and set up a move, while saying: "Like a dragon, when you are energetic, the next plate must first be stable, and at the same time, the upper hand must be strong, just like this!" ”

After that, Deng Yun made a small action like a dragon just now, and with a loud bang, the entire wooden stake suddenly burst open. It's not like a small dragon, which is just broken. Xiao Rulong looked shocked when he saw it, and he was about to continue practicing. Deng Yun said with a smile: "It's getting late, you go back to rest first, eat enough, think about today's homework, think about your own shortcomings, so that you can consolidate your foundation." ”

"Yes, Father." Xiao Rulong nodded his head and said very seriously. Deng Yun walked up to him, wiped his little brain affectionately, and said, "Go quickly." Otherwise, your mothers will feel sorry for you again. ”

"That's... Does Daddy want to go back with the baby? Xiao Rulong asked crisply. Deng Yun saw that the kid was a little afraid of himself, and couldn't help but think that he was usually too strict with him, and said with a smile a little distressed: "No." For the sake of the father, there are still things to discuss, you go back first, teach the people to eat first, and don't wait for me. ”

Xiao Rulong was obedient and hesitated for a while, but Zuihou still listened to Deng Yun's words and turned to leave. After walking away for a while, he suddenly turned around and said, "Then father, I'll leave some food for you!" ”

"Good!" Deng Yun only felt a burst of warmth in his heart, and nodded with a smile.

After a while, Tang Fuliao hurried over, and at this time, the courtiers had lit the lanterns hanging on the beams in the stone pavilion for Deng Yun. Deng

When Tang Fuliao saw Deng Yun, he said angrily: "I have just eaten half of the meal, and I was called over by you, the lord, what is the urgency?" ”

Deng Yun was a little angry when he heard Tang Fuliao, and said with a smile: "When the matter is settled, you can eat the remaining half here." You and I haven't had a drink in a long time. Isn't that good? ”

"Good, good! I've been thinking about those wines for a long time!! When Tang Fuliao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled.

Deng Yun's face sank, and he began to draw on the drawings that had already been prepared on the stone table. Tang Fuliao's face froze, knowing that Deng Yun had some wild ideas, thinking that he had a new invention, so he hurriedly looked closely.

Soon, Deng Yun drew a kind of chain hammer on the drawing, the hammer was covered with spikes, and when he saw the hideous appearance, Tang Fuliao couldn't help but shudder, thinking that if he was hit by this chain hammer, he would definitely be crippled if he didn't die.

However, Tang Fuliao quickly frowned and said, "Lord, how many catties do you want to forge this weapon?" ”

"At least one hundred and eighty pounds."

"So heavy !?"

Tang Fuliao exclaimed in surprise, and when he saw Deng Yun nodding cautiously, he realized that he was not joking, and immediately became serious, and said, "If this weapon has such a weight, it is simply chicken ribs." One hundred and eighty pounds of iron chain sledgehammer, ordinary men can't lift it, even if it is a strong man, if he lifts it, it is also slow, unless he encounters heavy infantry, he can also exert some power, otherwise it is useless!! And once they are attacked by light cavalry, these slow-moving Hercules are waiting to be slaughtered!! ”

Tang Fuliao is dissolute by nature, and he doesn't care about what he says, and these words made Deng Yun think about the weapon for a long time unbearable. Deng Yun was not angry, and said with a smile: "Don't you see that the chains on this sledgehammer are at least two feet tall, I designed this chain sledgehammer, so it must be used for close combat!" ”

"It's not used for hand-to-hand combat, isn't this chain sledgehammer still used to smash!?" Tang Fuliao was even more confused, and asked with a glare.

"Haha, that's exactly what I'm going to do with this chain sledgehammer to smash the enemy!!"

"Bastard, what a bastard!! You're embarrassed to laugh!? On weekdays, you always scold me for not knowing that money is precious, and you know that you are a loser!! Do you know that each of these 180 pounds of chain sledgehammers costs at least two taels of silver. All you threw out was a lot of silver, even if the enemy was hit by you, there were many casualties. But once the enemy's rear army fights to the death, this battle cannot be won, these weapons are taken by the enemy, not only do you lose a large number of weapons at once, but you also have to beware of the enemy using this weapon against you in turn!! ”

Tang Fuliao was very angry, and glared at Deng Yun with disdain with a look at the loser. Deng Yun was still calm, and smiled unhurriedly: "You don't need to worry about this." But if this army comes out, our army will definitely win. What's more, even if these weapons are taken by the enemy, with their weight and the design of the length of the chain, they are not so easy to maneuver. It is useless for the enemy to take it. ”

Indeed, as Deng Yun said, this chain sledgehammer is not only heavy, but also extremely long, so the difficulty of using it will be greatly increased. If you don't practice it, it's hard to give full play to the power of this weapon.

Deng Yun was full of confidence, and even said it, but he said ruthless words that he would win. But Tang Fuliao really looked down on Deng Yun's invention, and asked: "You are speaking beautifully, tell me first, how many such weapons do you want to build?" ”

"At least more than 30,000!"
