Chapter 133: Five thousand taels of gold are sent to beggars
Zhao Jiqing entered the Tang Army camp nervously. When he learned that Chen Ying was having a meal, Zhao Jiqing looked at the Tang Army camp secretly. He didn't know if he didn't look at it. He was shocked when he saw it.
Most of the soldiers in the Tang army camps were from the age of eighteen or nineteen to under thirty-five, without exception. They were all eight feet tall and strong, and all the soldiers in the army were actually wearing fine steel armor. Zhao Jiqing could swear that he would not need it, just listening to the sound of the blades of armor colliding.
The sounds initiated by steel and iron are absolutely different.
Zhao Jiqing was really shocked by this amazing discovery.
At this time, the ordinary steelmaking technology is either crucible steel or 100 steelmaking, or steel making. In fact, these three steelmaking methods all have one characteristic: extremely low output, low efficiency, and high cost. Just like the heavy-armored Tomahawk camp under Wang Renze, they only have three pieces of equipment, two pieces of fine steel armor, and an axe.
The axe is not valuable, at most, only two or three horizontal swords are priced at a price of 3 or 4 jin. However, the equipment of the heavy-armed Tomahawk Battalion is as high as 200 jin. In fact, the equipment of the soldiers of the heavy-armed Tomahawk Battalion is only more than fifty kilograms, less than sixty kilograms.
However, although the cost of high-manganese steel made by Chen Ying is slightly higher than that of high-carbon steel, the cost is only one-third of the market price of high-carbon carbon. However, the total cost of high-manganese steel Mingguang armor composed of high-manganese steel casting parts is only one-tenth of the fine steel armor. It only takes more than twenty sprigs, and with Modao, it is only thirty sprigs. Equipping 10,000 Modao soldiers is only equivalent to the cost of Wang Renze's 2,000 heavy-armored Tomahawk camps.
However, even if the Tomahawk Camp does not use a hook and sickle gun to deal with it, it will collide with the Mo Dao Army head-on and head-on, the Mo Dao Army can also abuse the Tomahawk into a scumbag.
In fact, Chen Ying's price of equipment was only half of the high price. Even if it was not the entire Tang army, but only the more than 30,000 troops led by the Six-Chief of the Eastern Palace, Chen Ying could earn more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan in equipment a year.
Zhao Jiqing naturally couldn't see these things, but what he saw was that the Tang army soldiers (Mo Daojun) were all over eight feet tall and weighed more than 150 kilograms. This only shows one situation. The Tang army has a very rich source of troops and can choose the best among the best, and choose the kind of strong man who is not big or small, a young man with a tiger back and a bear waist.
The entire army was equipped with fine steel armor, which shows that the Tang army was very rich. They had too much money to give to the soldiers, and they could eat meat and put on armor. What is this?
In the entire Zheng State, there was only one army in the entire army, and everyone was armed. This was Wang Shichong's Yulin Army, with a population of about 20,000. (In history, Wang Shichong defended the palace city, and Li Shimin fought for ten days but failed to capture it). However, most of this army was equipped with leather armor, and it was still okay to defend against light arrows. As for armor-breaking arrows, knife chops or gun stabs, they almost had no defense.
However, everyone in the Tang army was wearing iron armor. This shock was too great for Zhao Jiqing.
Could it be that the Tang Dynasty is so powerful?
Thinking of this, Zhao Jiqing was not only a bitter smile but also a bitter smile.
He brought five thousand taels of gold to discuss peace with Chen Ying, trying to buy a way out, but the Tang army is now so rich, do they still see the five thousand taels of gold?
Zhao Jiqing was no longer confident at this time.
Chen Ying really didn't expect that Mo Daojun could play such a role.
While Zhao Jiqing was waiting anxiously, Chen Ying finished the meal.
Then he met Zhao Jiqing in a row. Chen Ying did not pay attention to the meeting, and even prepared a formal venue. Instead, he met Zhao Jiqing directly in this four-wheeled carriage that Chen Ying acted as a RV.
Seeing Zhao Jiqing arrive, Chen Ying deliberately looked impatient on his face and said, "What are your intentions for you to see this general?"
Zhao Jiqing was very surprised when he heard this. He had already heard about Chen Ying's young thing. He thought that Ashinasmo standing in the carriage was Chen Ying. After all, Ashinasmo obviously saw him and felt a breathtaking momentum, as if he was still as a mountain, a strong pressure came to his face.
He thought about Chen Ying's youth, but he never thought that Chen Ying would be so young. Looking at Chen Ying's handsome face, Zhao Jiqing could not connect Chen Ying with his rumored image.
According to rumors, Chen Ying is a murderer who is over 10 meters tall, with a wide waist and a horse on his arms. He kills without blinking. He likes to kill people and establish his authority. There are also very exaggerated saying that Chen Ying is a murderous demon king who likes to be cannibalistic. He likes to eat a human heart and drink a bucket of blood every meal.
However, all these rumors were not found in Chen Ying at all. On the contrary, Chen Ying was not like a general, but more like a scholar. He had a tall and thin figure and seemed weak and unconventional. His skin was fair and delicate, and even more charming than women. What is even more rare is that Chen Ying was really too young.
In Zhao Jiqing's opinion, Chen Yingting was mostly twenty years old, not even older than his eldest son. However, his eldest son Zhao Dingguo was already twenty-five years old, and now he is a ninth-rank Cao Cao army (a small official in a warehouse managing armor). However, Chen Yingnian was young and was already a guest of the Prince of the Eastern Palace of the Tang Dynasty, the Minister of Works, the champion general, and the supervisor of the Shaanxi East Xingtai Shangshai Pushe.
Any official position in Chen Ying is as extreme as a minister. Seeing Chen Ying and thinking of his son, Zhao Jiqing had to sigh inwardly: "People are so angry that they are more aggravated!"
Zhao Jiqing quickly threw the messy thoughts in his head out of his mind, and smiled slightly and said, "God has the virtue of being alive, and my king also has this kindness. Although your subordinate and my great Zheng Kingdom have just experienced a big battle, it was also caused by misunderstandings. My king is also magnanimous and intends to ignore past grudges and make peace with your subordinate."
When Ashinasmo heard this, he rolled his eyes. In Chen Ying's words, he could make surrender and beg for his destiny so fresh and refined, and he would be convinced by you.
Chen Ying's face was neither happy nor angry, he didn't say anything, and he always looked expressionless.
Chen Ying's reaction was beyond Zhao Jiqing's expectations. In his opinion, Chen Ying was so young, he must have the usual problems of young people and was competitive. As long as Chen Ying refuted his words, he could find loopholes in the sentences in Chen Ying's words, take advantage of his own good at debate, and make Chen Ying's speechless.
But Chen Ying didn't take Zhao Jiqing's trick at all, which made him feel like he was hitting the air with one punch and the urge to swallow blood.
In fact, Zhao Jiqing didn't know that Chen Ying was a perfect pragmatism. If things were meaningless and he didn't want to do it at all, Chen Ying now has an overwhelming advantage, and there was no need to be hypocritical and snake with Wang Xuanqiong, because there was no need at all.
Chen Ying believed in a sentence from later generations: "The truth always appears within the range of the cannon. Once the cannon is opened, all the abnormal noises will stop abruptly." Chen Ying likes this sentence very much. If it is not for the strong enemy and I am weak, if it is not a last resort, Chen Ying is unwilling to take risks or use tricks. He prefers the kind of refreshing and thrust.
Chen Ying likes this way of war. The hook and sickle lances overturned the opponent's cavalry, the Modao Army overturned the opponent's infantry, and other troops such as horizontal swords and sound shooting army were only used to go up and pick up heads when the outcome of the war was clear.
Chen Ying did not answer, and Zhao Jiqing had no choice but to do anything. He paused and said, "Although my king does not know the details of your subordinates, it is expected that your subordinates can win by surprise, kill my generals, and defeat my army. The military strategy is very admirable, but those thousands of soldiers are nothing to us. After all, we must speak with strength. Our great Zheng State is located in the east, the west, the west, the south, the south, the Yellow River, and the north, and the horse-mounted string control. There are more than 300,000 soldiers with armor. If there is any intention, we can advance and advance with ten thousand hooves, and there are no need to use any strategy. However, my king cannot bear to see the soldiers of our Tang and Zheng countries separated, and they heard crying everywhere, and built new graves everywhere, so our two families should sit down and talk carefully, and turn swords into jade and silk."
Zhao Jiqing's words were both soft and hard, and the other party's words "100,000 people with horseback string control, and more than 300,000 people with armor" even spoke lies with his eyes open.
Asuna Smo was about to refute angrily, but was pressed by Chen Yingyi's eyes and dared not speak.
It is no secret that Wang Shichong has what kind of strength he has in the world. If it weren't for the Yang Xuangan Rebellion before the Ninth Year of Daye, Wang Shichong occupied 107 counties in the 12 counties in the Central Plains. At that time, these 107 counties had a population of more than 13 million, so Wang Shichong naturally had the strength to form 100,000 cavalry and 300,000 armored men.
However, time has changed. Although Wang Shichong now has such a large territory, the Central Plains is also a fertile land, which is no worse than Guanzhong. However, over the years of war, the population of the Central Plains has increased greatly, and now the Central Plains is less than one-tenth of the original population.
Forty-hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Wang Shichong needed to organize all the men, women, young and old in the Central Plains, and perhaps he could raise a total of 400,000 people and horses. As for the 100,000 cavalry, I am afraid that Wang Shichong would count the horses, mules, donkeys, and even oxes from the Central Plains, and he could raise a total of 100,000.
Chen Ying smiled slightly.
He wanted to hear what Zhao Jiqing had to say. As the saying goes, a weak country has no diplomacy. No matter how sharp the words are, it cannot change the strength comparison between strength and weakness.
Zhao Jiqing looked at Chen Ying's smile, his face became colder and colder, and his heart sank. He knew that Chen Ying's patience was about to be exhausted, so he couldn't help but take out his trump card: "Of course, my king is also a sensible person. He knows that the general has worked hard for him, and the general will not come in vain. My king is willing to give two thousand taels of gold to the general to serve as military funds!"
Chen Ying sneered coldly: "Two thousand taels of gold? Where are you sending the beggars?"
Zhao Jiqing said timidly: "No, then only five thousand taels!"
