Chapter 12 The King of Liang goes north (1)

King Liang, the son of Sun Xiurong and Princess Jingle Dugu Ruoyun, has been trained in Batu Port for a few years, and has gone from a young man who is not well-educated to a young man in his prime. He is a kind and elegant young man.

Qili, twenty-five years old, was the only son of Ye Huge, the western part of the Uighur Khanate of Wude Mountain in the Uighur Khanate. He is now the husband of Sun Zhaorong, the eldest daughter of Sun Xiurong, the imperial son-in-law, and the commander of the Aslan camp of the Weiwei Weiwei.

Wei Yingwu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, accidentally became one of the scattered cavalry attendants of the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire, and now he has become an official who actually handled all etiquette affairs in the Qin Empire when he went to the vassal state of Teutonic State.

The Huju camp, which is the teenager of the Great Qin Dynasty from the Dnieper River and the tribes around the Don River, was included in the herdsmen of the Bogra tribe and selected talents to enter the pure cavalry camp set up in the Donetsk Cavalry School in later generations. When they entered the school, they were all teenagers aged fifteen to eighteen, and now the youngest is eighteen years old.

In order to demonstrate the empire's glorious style, this pure cavalry battalion, composed of all three thousand people, was naturally dressed up.

In the past two years, since the Empire's workshops have been a warm climate, the Feng Shui treasure land that will not freeze all year round, and the rivers flowing down from Mount Elbool are all small and medium-sized, so the rivers can be used well after dredging.

So, water wheels, windmills, and hydraulic forging hammers were all used.

When the hydraulic forging hammer was used, Emperor Sun Xiurong also began a second innovation in his military equipment.

At this time, in Europe, in Dashi, and even in Persia, more suitable plate chain mails have begun to appear. The so-called plate chain mail means that the body needs a lot of movement to be chain mail, which does not require a lot of movement, but the crucial part is the whole piece of plate mail.

For Europe at this time, it is no problem to make plate chain armor, but the amount after making it cannot be controlled. A complete set of good plate chain armor has at least 60 kilograms. There is no way. In order to ensure the strength of the armor, the iron plate and iron ring can only be thickened.

For an empire like Daqin, which has mastered the secret smelting technique of steel-spraying method that has been aged 800 years, and the only one who has mastered a mineral like manganese that can strengthen the strength of steel, the matter is much simpler. The suitable carbon content, after adding manganese material, will further reduce the weight of the armor.

Even so, a complete set of 30 kilograms of plate chain armor still weighs, but this is not a problem for the cavalry battalion.

The helmet is a wide-eave iron helmet, and the neck guard is a chain mail, which is lined with cloth. Otherwise, the armor will stick to the skin in winter.

Half of the chest is full of iron armor, but the waist is a chain mail. The plate armor is hung on the shoulders through connection with the chain mail, which is not very laborious, and the lower body is still in the cotton armor style.

This is just an attempt by the Qin Empire. In fact, this can be done with cotton armor. However, if the protective power of cotton armor reaches the top, it must be loaded with cotton pads. In that case, it will not be applicable in summer. Although the Qin army has the advantage of long-range weapons, there are always times when there is close combat. At this time, armor like the chain armor can come in handy.

As for scale armor (the name for all armors connected with small pieces, fish scale armor, mountain text armor, and Mingguang armor are all), on the one hand, they can only use unreliable ropes, beef tendons, etc. If iron wire is used, the cost will be huge, and the weight will be increased. Therefore, there are still weaknesses between the pieces, so Sun Xiurong decided not to adopt this style from the beginning.

Similarly, for chain mail, there are two ways to connect, one is to connect small iron rings, and the other is to connect thin iron wires to each other. The first type requires a large number of small iron rings, which is a huge challenge for the technology at this time, and the second type is simple and convenient, and Europeans are now using them in large quantities.

However, this method depends too much on the strength of the wire. Without good iron materials, suitable additives, and mass-produced processes (hydraulic forging hammers, hydraulic pulling). The wire wrapped around will soon lose its due strength due to fatigue.

But this problem does not exist for the Daqin Empire, which has invincible black technology.

Use thin iron wire to hook it up and entangle it together to form small pieces, and then connect it with small iron rings at the joints. The final chain mail's protective effect is between the plate armor and the previous chain mail, which not only enhances the protection, but also does not hinder movement, and is much lower in cost.

The chain mail and the plate mail are also connected by small iron rings, which is also extremely reliable.

Even so, such armor is still a huge project compared to cotton armor that simply sews the armor into the fabric. Now this army is trying to equip it. Whether it is promoted on a large scale will have to see the effect.

The mission brigade set out from the Forbidden City. In order to appease the Magyar tribe, in addition to the grassland, the Donetsk region with the richest coal resources was in the hands of the empire. A large area of ​​land on the east bank of the Dnieper River was still given to Sdymo, which is the area of ​​Kharkov-Poltava-Chernigov in later generations.

There is no way. If your eating habits are too ugly, you will definitely be backfired. For the Qin Empire, the Mazar tribe is a relatively close tribe, while the Pecheneg tribe and the Bulgar tribe are tribes that need to be guarded against. If even a tribe like the Mazar tribe is forced too much, it will obviously be counterproductive.

The brigade was raising two big flags, one was "King Liang of the Great Qin" and the other was "The Prince of the Great Qin" and the Prince of the Great Qin". With the banners of all sizes above the team, the flags were naturally waving and the silk flags were floating, which was very majestic.

The brigade walked across the West Bridge and entered the West City.

When the East and West Cities were built, the empire's craftsmen also followed the practice of Chang'an City and built the Cross Street in the middle to an extremely wide one. Although it was not as high as the Zhuque Street in Chang'an City, there were still 100 meters. Therefore, when the vast army entered there, the street did not appear to be crowded.

In the team, except for King Liang Sun Zhaoyong, Prince Consort Zhuge Qili, Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites and Wei Yingwu, the regular attendant of the cavalry, naturally, inquire in advance and arrange all the inspectors.

As the highest chief of the Censorate near the Black Sea, Bai Xiaode's eldest son was also among them.

Among all the people, Sun Zhaoyong just said that he is kind and elegant, and has the style of a scholar.

Sun Xiurong was able to send his eldest son-in-law, Ge Qili, not because he was his son-in-law, but because he was tall and handsome, at least with the style of Lu Bu in appearance, and in terms of force, he was the second only to Gao Juren in the empire in terms of force.

Feng Ge Qili was the second general after Bai Xiaode to use two iron spears, one long and one short. Due to his age, his real abilities are probably above Bai Xiaode.

This is similar to Gao Juren’s two large iron vertices, one long and one short. Of course, since it is a long spear, it is naturally better to win with moves and speed. Gao Juren’s large iron vertices obviously require great strength and endurance due to their heavy weight.

In Sun Xiurong's mind, he probably also told Teutonic, Lithuanian, and Pomeranian tribes that not only Gao Juren like Niedhog (the god of death located between heaven, earth, and man, devouring everything), but also many people like our Great Qin Empire.

Including Na Wei Yingwu, although he was only in his twenties, he was not only familiar with classics but also knowledgeable. When he was young, he was one of the young boys sent by the Wei family to Li Longji as a guard. His swordsmanship was able to go along with Li Taibai.

Needless to say, I have been in the Qin army for a long time and have experienced the Censorate. I am both brave and quick, heroic and heroic, and I am still a childish heart. It is exactly what Sun Xiurong hopes to be a senior official in the Censorate. In his mind, if all the Censorate are vicious, it is not enough.

After leaving Xicheng, the empire built a "Qin straight road", which was roughly the West City - Kabass County (later Kafbass) - Vicenza County (later Vinnica) - Lviv County (later Lviv), and there were endless plains, counties and villages hidden in forests, farmlands, and countless bridges connected there.

This has been completed in the last one or two years.

After arriving in Kabas County, Suken, the governor of the Xijing area, and Xi Yuanjing, the governor of the Dnieper Province, left the city to welcome him. From here, he had to accompany the mission team to Lviv. King Liang obviously received the task of "understanding the customs and customs along the way, as well as military governance" given to him by Sun Xiurong.

Caspers County was a newly established county in the empire, and the military and civilians were all immigrants, so there was no major problem. After leaving Caspers County, Odessa, Vicenza, and Lviv were all places where Romans had built castles long ago. The residents were mainly Dacians, Romans, Huns (think themselves), Antes, Catholics, Grand Food and Shamanism were entangled, and the situation was still very complicated.

The three counties have seemed calm in recent years, but we still need to carefully understand what the real situation is.

A few days later, the team arrived in Uman County. Uman is the Uman city of later Ukraine. However, this name was taken by the Cossacks in the 17th century, so naturally there is no one now. However, Sun Xiurong, who has the memory of the Great Xia Empire, is still marked as Uman on his map.

Uman County is affiliated with Vicenza County, but most of the residents here are people who still think they are Attila people after the disintegration of the Attila Empire, which is known as descendants of the Huns.

These people looked a little similar to the Turks, intervening between the white Europeans and the Easterners. By this time, hundreds of years had passed since the fall of the Attila Empire, and the simple nomadic tribes had also become semi-parent and half-agricultural tribes.

That is, at this time, the Ukrainian grassland was large enough and the resources were abundant enough to accommodate all kinds of tribes nomadic and reclaimed here. It would be impossible to place the grasslands in the south and north of the desert in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty.

In today's Western world, the ambition of the Holy See's "expanding territory" is far stronger than that of the Eastern Roman Empire and the Frankish Kingdom. No matter how wild the land is, they are indispensable. Although this place was a territorial area before, it was obviously already "organized".

A wooden steeple church is the first Uman County building that jumped into the eyes of the group.

Then, a few riders flew out of the Chinese-style city. The leader was actually a man with a braided hair, a man with a face full of flesh, and an Eastern-style robe. Behind him was a thin and tall Westerner wearing a top hat and a black robe. He was naturally a priest.

Seeing the neat, solemn and colorful team of envoys, the two of them quickly dismounted and paid a visit.

However, Su Ken and Xi Yuanjing frowned when they saw it. Bai Jieyou naturally knew that he knew the details.

Erzhu Chong, the county magistrate and commander of Vicenza County, had not arrived!

Sun Zhaoyong hesitated for a moment, but walked forward and prepared to talk to the two men, who were representatives of the local Huns and Catholic corps.

"Dadadada..."

At this moment, a few more horses flew from a distance, and in an instant, a burly man flew down from his horse.

It’s Erzhu Chong!
