The original Xiang Army arsenal in Taoshan County was still guarded by these five old Xiang Army soldiers. A bunch of old guys were grumpy and looked down on these useless local soldiers in Taoshan County. Nading Gu deliberately tried to please him the first few times and wanted to get more.
Some weapons and equipment went out for sale, but they were pushed back by a few old guys... Ding Gu was playing tricks. First, he was afraid that the county lieutenant would get angry and pursue him after he found out. Secondly, when these rural soldiers saw a few veteran ruffians with scars all over their bodies, they were full of murderous intent.
They were all as frightened as chickens with plague.
It would be a waste to let these things get moldy. Song Wen shamelessly picked out 500 gun heads. These were all well-made weapons from Zhezong's time. Compared with the garbage produced by Gao Qiu and those forgetful people in the Ministry of War now, they are really useless.
It's much better.
Song Wen really didn't like the stubby-looking broad-bladed weapons like the hand knives of the Song Dynasty. There was no such thing as this... Because of the need to control costs, the hand knives of the Song Dynasty and the well-made Tang Hengdao went to two extremes!
One is that it is sharp and tough at all costs, and it also has the ability to penetrate armor. The other is to use the steel clamping method for a large number of equipment to make it short and stupid, but more durable and cheaper.
Song Wen simply doesn’t like it!
The most expensive and most strictly controlled iron armor and chain armor had long been transferred to the Forbidden Army Arsenal in the state capital. Song Wen talked for a long time before going to a more tightly closed warehouse under the leadership of Lao Huang and opened it.
Later, some leather harnesses inside were exposed, almost all of which were old and damaged. Behind the harnesses were neatly placed dozens of leather armors.
Song Wen was surprised. Did the Song Dynasty have leather armor? I remember that the history books recorded that the iron armor and foot armor of the Song Dynasty were famous. When did this kind of leather armor exist?
Old Huang sighed: "I'm not lying to you, these leather armors are the only ones left in this shabby arsenal, and there are no other armors left. Anyway, they will be eaten by insects if they are left there. If you like them, take them all.
…”
Song Wen thanked him and promised to send ten jars of liquor in a few days... Lao Huang laughed and scolded: "If I hadn't seen that you really dared to fight against the bandits, we wouldn't have given you a hundred jars of good liquor.
Set... these are old items that have been on the battlefield with the cavalry of the Song Dynasty, we dare not insult them."
Song Wen was very happy here. An Chun, who was going to choose bows and arrows with Lao Xu outside, suddenly ran back and panted and said to Song Wen at the door: "Brother, there is a crossbow! What a good crossbow!"
Song Wen's eyes lit up!
The Divine Arm Bow, also known as the Divine Arm Crossbow, has a bow length of three feet and two, a string length of two feet and a half, and is equipped with several inches of arrow feathers. It can shoot half of the elm wood without falling, and the range is more than 340 steps.
It is about 150 meters away from the later generations! It can be called a great killer weapon in the Song Dynasty.
Old Huangtou stood at the door with a serious face and glared coldly at the shy old man Xu: "Who told you to open Tianziku?"
Lao Xu said sarcastically: "I've never seen the doll before, so I'm just trying to open his eyes..."
"Nonsense! This is the arsenal of the Forbidden Army. Even the use of the Xiang Army requires the approval of the Commander-in-Chief. What's the use of letting the local soldiers see it? If they dare to use the things here privately, it will be the crime of treason..."
Song Wen sighed... This old Huang's words were obviously meant for him. He had done some homework before. The weapons that the country soldiers could equip were basically spears, broadswords and shields. Some bows and arrows would be good. What about armor and powerful crossbows?
There is no need to think about war horses... However, the official positions of the Song Dynasty were not subordinate to each other and suppressed each other, which made many local government orders chaotic and chaotic, but there was only one thing that officials at all levels took seriously.
That is the military organization. No matter what the official is, as long as he finds any sign of losing control of any army, he will immediately report impeachment and deal with it with thunderous means...
Throughout the Song Dynasty, there were actually not many peasant uprisings, but the only one that caused political instability on a large scale was the La Uprising in the south of the Yangtze River... As for the heroes of Liangshan, who would squat in a puddle and rebel?
Are you trapped to death? People like Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Lu Zhishen, Li Kui, and Lin Chong all really existed... But in the end, they were only called the Thirty-Six Thieves of Jingdong when they gathered to rebel, and they were not even given a serious name for rebellion!
It is true that they fought in several places and attacked the city, but in the most critical period of transformation... they met their nemesis, Zhang Shuye, the governor of Haizhou!
In one battle, all of Song Jiang's troops were killed, leaving their helmets and armor in a state of embarrassment. In the end, they had no choice but to surrender obediently.
In contrast, the La Uprising in the south of the Yangtze River directly shook the Song Dynasty's important land of grain and wealth, Jiangnan, and the party Xixia that continued to harass the northwest... and the Liao Kingdom, which had suppressed the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, and finally destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty with two southward campaigns.
The Jurchen Jinmen of the dynasty...Song Jiang's Thirty-Six Thieves of Jingdong are as inconspicuous as a wave in the sea!
Song Wen basically has no interest in the so-called Liangshan heroes... Except for Lin Chong and An Daoquan, who have known each other for a long time and have an irreversible friendship, the rest of Song Wen also has some feelings for Yang Zhi, who was born in the four major generals, Hua Monk, Lu Zhishen, and Wu Song!
The rest are either harboring ulterior motives or full of evil spirits... If anyone can really bring these gangsters together to successfully rebel, that would really be an evil act!
Song Jiang in the novel wanted to recruit people, and later generations still scolded him for it... But once you really sit in Song Jiang's position and look down... the most educated person is Wu Yong, a bad scholar. In addition to doing some
There is no ability at all to scheming and scheming that cannot be put on the table! The rest are scoundrels, scoundrels, beggars, monks, and Taoist priests... There are also people who run around as entertainers, people who practice long-distance running... crooked melons, cracked jujubes, and weird shapes!
Using these people to rebel and overthrow the Song Dynasty as emperor? He would not dare to even think about using a big iron gate to clamp Song Jiang's head and fart?
How could it be possible? It would be impossible for a large number of former army lieutenant generals who were framed, calculated and squeezed out by the court to fight with the court sincerely! Three attacks on Zhujiazhuang, Zengtou City, and then on
Fang La then went north to fight with the Liao people... Anyway, these people just refused to really break up with the imperial court and fight to the death!
So...Song Wen didn't even consider getting together with Song Jiang Fangla and those people, that would be seeking death!
As long as the most elite Western Army of the Song Dynasty is still there, any rebellion will only end in the death of the whole family...
Song Wen really wanted to do something, but he really didn't expect how far he could go!
Originally, he wanted to be the biggest invisible rich man in the Song Dynasty. No matter what the Six Thieves or loyal ministers and good generals, I am prosperous and rich, do I care about giving you some benefits? Song Wen even thought about supporting a family of generals to turn the tide amidst the humiliation of Jingkang.
He made a great contribution, and then used it to help the Song Dynasty change himself to a title and enjoy peace...
But this time the attitude of the six thieves towards him completely chilled Song Wen... The so-called saying that everyone gets rich and everyone makes money is a big joke to these high-ranking powerful people!
My money belongs to me, your money belongs to me too... The emperor's money belongs to me, and the lives of the untouchables all belong to me... As for whether the Song Dynasty dies or not, what does it matter to me?
Is there room for such a group of people to make sense when they control the government? Do they still have the sense of security, glory and wealth that they hope for? Bullshit... Even if they really want these things, they have to hold them in their hands like the generals in the northwest.
The most elite and powerful force! Only in this way can real wealth and security be guaranteed in this corrupt and dark age...
Song Wen looked at Lao Huang and said, "I've heard that our Song Dynasty's crossbows are sharp, so I don't dare to ask for it as my own... How about just taking a look?"
Lao Huang sighed and shook his head: "Look, as long as we don't take out our arsenal..."
A row of crossbows with crossbows that resembled looms were neatly placed, next to them were crossbow arrows as thick as chicken eggs. These were weapons for defending the city! Song Wen looked around and patted them.
Still sturdy crossbow frame and crossbow machine base.
"Senior Huang has taken good care of this treasure. There is not even a trace of insect infestation..."
Lao Huang sighed: "Where can I find it? This wood was boiled with medicinal water and soaked in medicinal oil. It has been kept for decades... However, the nature of the wood has become loose. If it is used, I am afraid that it will be difficult.
If it doesn’t last a few dozen times, it will crack and become useless.”
An Chun excitedly held a strong and heavy crossbow and said to Song Wen: "Brother, is this the divine arm bow you mentioned?" This chapter has been completed!
