194 Arm yourself as a hedgehog!
"Dad, I'll send ten guards to the Hunhou Mansion."
"Take good care of yourself. If you make such a big mess, your dad can't save you little bastard!"
The old Hunhou Chu Yong cursed and returned to the Hunhou Mansion in a carriage.
I guess he doesn't want to go out during this period... Xiaohunhou lives in the Pingwang Mansion, with a large number of people and power, so it's not easy to provoke.
But Hunhou's Mansion did not have so many guards, only some old, weak and disabled people.
Fortunately, the yamen of Jinling Mansion is located on Changle Street, not far away. The yamen runners often patrol, but no one dared to cause trouble in Wanghou Lane and Wuyi Lane.
...
Chu Tianxiu got into a carriage from Pingwang Mansion.
Li Yu, Zuer, Di'er and Di'er were waiting in the carriage. When he saw Chu Tianxiu coming back, he finally felt relieved.
Zuer patted his undulating chest and looked pale, "The son-in-law is back. A group of people shouting and killing in the court are scaring us to death."
The carriage slowly headed towards the Pingwang Mansion.
"Husband, has the matter of banning copper been resolved?"
Li Yu said worriedly.
"Well, the court has passed, and the order will be promoted to the whole world."
Chu Tianxiu smiled slightly and said strangely: "My father doesn't usually go to court, so why did he suddenly go to court? Who asked him to come?"
"It was the emperor who sent a big eunuch out and asked us to find Lao Hunhou."
Li Yudao.
"Emperor?...It seems that all this is within the emperor's expectations."
Chu Tianxiu nodded slightly and understood.
"I was thinking about what means the emperor would use to force the ministers in the court to surrender. Unexpectedly, my father came over with the imperial edict of Taizu and forced him to pass it.
However, no matter whether it is soft or hard, the emperor firmly controlled the major policies of the Great Chu Dynasty.
The princes and ministers of the dynasty had no way to stop the matter except complaining.
The only one who could threaten the emperor was the group of ambitious and extremely powerful princes. But they were not in the court, and they could not enter Jinling City unless they rebel."
Li Yu shook his head, "It may not be cost-effective to rebel for this matter. Even if there is no copper coins, the fiefdom will have a lot of income, and the princes and kings may not be able to make up their minds to rebel. However, I am afraid that the princes will not dare to do anything to the court, but I take revenge on my husband in anger."
"Apart from assassination, they probably have no better way! It is to strengthen the guards of Prince Ping's Mansion."
Chu Tianxiu said.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a headache again.
If he was really going to be assassinated by an assassin, I am afraid that the emperor would have a sufficient crime to punish the princes and kings.
Could it be that the emperor also had this expectation?!
...
After Chu Tianxiu returned to Prince Ping's Mansion, he sent someone to send a secret letter to Danyang County that night to the county magistrate Li Gannian.
Let Li Gannian secretly create the Hundred Refining Armor and Hundred Refining Sword.
Danyang County has built up as many as hundreds of new earth blast furnaces in one go in just half a year, and has changed from an agricultural county to an industrial county.
If it is Dachu, which county has the strongest industrial strength, it is probably Danyang County.
The county town has been in its prime for 15,000 years, and women, children, young and old, and every household makes a living by digging iron ore, transporting ore, burning iron ore, and thundering iron tools.
As for the county's arable land and other miscellaneous tasks, just hire landless refugees and poor people to do it - it can be solved by spending some money. Now Danyang County is so rich that it is not short of money at all.
The significantly improved earth blast furnace can temper the highest quality steel of the Great Chu Dynasty - fried steel and 100 steelmaking.
The huge production capacity of tens of thousands of kilograms of iron a day has long been the largest iron-made equipment production base in the Great Chu Dynasty.
A large number of agricultural tools, hoes, plows, kitchen knives, chopping knives, etc. can be produced every day, and then transported to various counties for sale.
The geography of Danyang County is so unique.
With Ma'anshan, the first open-pit mine in Jiangnan, there is no end to dig iron ore.
It is also close to Jinling City, a huge city with a population of one million. Every household buys a kitchen knife, hoe and chopping knife, which is an unimaginable huge market.
The produced agricultural tools can be shipped to Jinling City in one day and sold, and the capital can be recovered soon and continued to be invested in expanding production.
It is precisely the convenience of this market that has enabled Danyang County to rapidly expand its production capacity of 100 earth blast furnaces.
To the north of Danyang County is the Central Plains, and to the south is the Jiangnan that is under development.
The steel farm tools market is unimaginable.
Chu Tianxiu ordered Li Gannian to arrange a group of blacksmiths to secretly create 300 sets of new steel armor to replace the guards of the Pingwang Mansion.
Although he had no soldiers in his hand, the royal palace had 300 personal soldiers!
The guards in the Prince Ping’s Mansion were all personal soldiers of the Prince’s Mansion, and most of them were children from the Li family.
In addition to King Ping Li Rong, only Princess Danyang Li Yu can easily mobilize the soldiers of the Li family in one sentence.
The Grand Marshal Li Rong can legally own 300 armored soldiers, all carrying swords and armor, so there is no need to worry about being sued for rebellion.
The best equipment of the Great Chu Dynasty was iron armor, which was the treatment of the imperial guards.
The quality of all the Bailian Steel is much better than leather armor and the standard iron armor of the imperial palace guards, and it is much better than that of one to ten.
The iron knife was cut up, and it was just a shallow knife mark. Even if you cut dozens of knives, you would not be able to break the armor.
Each soldier is equipped with a hundred-smelting knife that cuts iron like mud, which is enough to cut over the opponent with one knife.
Chu Tianxiu thought, just having hundreds of refining armor and close-fitting swords was not enough.
Long-range shooting is also required to have both offense and defense.
Another batch of hundreds of pairs of steel armor-breaking crossbows, ordinary leather armor and iron armor, the kind that shoots through one arrow.
By the way, there are many excellent war horses in the Pingwang Mansion that can raid for a long distance.
Install saddles and stirrups, and can also dry hard on the front.
Create leather armor for them all, or even steel armor.
The well-trained three hundred guards of the Pingwang Mansion were all replaced with new steel armor, carrying strong crossbows, and riding armor-making war horses, and their combat power was absolutely strong.
Three hundred guards were enough to sweep three thousand soldiers with ordinary leather armor.
Outside the city, I dare not say that I am fighting in a field.
At least, even if thousands of soldiers were besieging the city of Jinling, it would be impossible to attack the Pingwang Mansion.
When he usually goes out on the street, he brings ten fully armed armored guards to protect his safety, which is more than enough.
"Hehe, what is combat power? Productivity is combat power!"
Chu Tianxiu was proud.
This is the huge advantage of traveling through two thousand years, and you know deeply what is the most important thing.
Without Danyang County, a huge steel production base, hundreds of earth blast furnaces produce steel day and night. All 15,000 people in the county are invested in large-scale steelmaking production.
Who can explode as many as three hundred pairs of 100 armor-refined armor, three hundred swords, and hundreds of armor-breaking crossbows in a very short time?
This requires sufficient steelmaking technology, a large number of iron ore requires a large group of top blacksmiths, which cost up to tens of thousands of taels of silver.
No one can do it.
Even the weapons and weapons commander of the Taiwei Mansion could not be done. They were still building iron weapons and had not mastered the technology of making steel.
A soldier with a full armoured armour can kill seven in seven out of ordinary armour.
A large group of elite soldiers who are refining can almost walk sideways on the battlefield.
Those princes and kings want to assassinate him Xiaohunhou?
hehe!
