At the end of May, Yang Peng went to the armor forging workshop to take a look. After a year of development, the armor workshop has reached a considerable scale. The armor workshop uses a steam engine to drive a forging hammer to forge steel armor, which is very efficient. Although at the beginning Yang Peng only
It was planned to equip thirty steam engines, but in the end, as the demand for armor increased, Yang Peng increased the number of steam engines to sixty.
Today, there are more than 100 craftsmen in the armor workshop, two people operate a forging hammer, and 60 handymen manage the steam engines. The armor workshop can now produce more than 10,000 sets of armor a year. Of course, the expansion of the armor workshop has a great impact on
The demand for crucible steel increased again. Yang Peng also tripled the scale of the steelmaking workshop, increasing steel production to 60,000 kilograms per month.
Yang Peng's requirement for the armor is that it can protect against direct arrows at thirty paces, so the steel armor forged by the craftsmen is quite thick. The front breastplate is three millimeters thick. And a set of armor not only includes a breastplate, but also skirt armor and leggings.
Shoulder pads and arm guards. The frontal protection is very complete and can be regarded as full body armor.
However, this armor only has front protection, and there are no steel plates on the sides and rear. Yang Peng's troops generally face the enemy head-on, and the protection on the sides and rear is left to their comrades. Yang Peng believes that if the soldiers wear such a set of plate armor, Khitan's bows and arrows will
It was impossible to shoot through the hand. Even if the soldiers were hit by more than a dozen arrows, they would probably only be minor skin wounds. As a result, the Khitan's old method of relying on mounted archery was completely useless against the Tiger Master.
However, this kind of armor is relatively heavy, weighing more than thirty kilograms. It cannot be worn during normal marches and must be carried by a baggage team. This increases the requirements for the baggage team. Fortunately, Yang Peng captured very many mules and horses in previous battles.
If there are enough carriages, this is not a big problem.
In the armor workshop, Yang Peng hung a newly made full-body armor a hundred meters away and shot it with an unrifled flintlock rifle. Yang Peng often played with the rifle when he had nothing to do, and he also loaded and loaded the rifle.
He was very proficient. It took him more than ten seconds to load the bullets and gunpowder, and pointed the musket at the full body armor. There was a "pop" sound, and the round lead bullet hit the left side of the breastplate, hitting the steel armor.
A dent came out. However, the dent was not big, only a few millimeters deep, so it probably would not cause much harm to the wearer.
Yang Peng thought for a while, shortened the shooting distance to seventy meters, loaded and fired again. There was another gunshot, and the bullet hit the right side of the steel armor. The bullet still did not penetrate the steel armor, but hit the steel armor.
A dent of one centimeter deep. However, steel armor is not worn close to the body. There is a certain distance from the skin. It is expected that a dent of one centimeter will not cause serious injury to the wearer.
Yang Peng walked another 20 meters and opened fire at the steel armor from a distance of 50 meters. He only heard a loud "bang" sound, and the lead bullet penetrated the steel armor. The steel armor hanging on the wooden frame was violently
It shook violently and fell down, clattering to the ground.
Yang Peng took the steel armor for inspection and found that the lead bullet had made a hole in the steel armor. It seems that at a distance of fifty meters, an ordinary musket can penetrate three millimeters of steel armor. If he encounters red hair in the future,
, Hongmao cannot be allowed to get close to fifty meters to shoot. Once the enemy is allowed to shoot at the Huben Division within fifty meters, even with such well-equipped steel armor, it will cause a large number of casualties.
After Yang Peng finished his business in Tianjing New City, he chatted with his master at the Seven Books of the Seven Books. Now the Seven Books of Tianjing New City don't have much effect. Yang Peng is in charge of most everything.
Even if they want to control it, they don’t know how. Yang Dezheng is now Zhang Xiang’s deputy. At first, Yang Dezheng refused to accept it. Wen couldn’t defeat Zhang Xiang, and Wu was not Zhang Xiang’s opponent. Yang Dezheng was also thinking about how he would fare in Bianjing.
He couldn't find an opponent. When he arrived at Tianjing New City, he didn't know how many people could knock him down. Even his seventh aunt was so powerful that he couldn't survive ten rounds in his hands. Yang Dezheng was disheartened.
She devoted herself wholeheartedly to studying with Zhang Xiang, and Old Mrs. She was also happy to see it. Old Mrs. She also didn't expect that these teenagers were so powerful, and just one of them could knock Yang Dezheng down.
The Yang family's martial arts is no joke in Bianjing, it is really powerful, but these people in Tianjing New City are monsters. Even though they are not very powerful, they just do it with their hands. That is really not a joke, Mrs. She
I heard that Xiao Tianzuo could not even go a round under Fan Long. Mrs. She knew how powerful Xiao Tianzuo was, the number one master in the Liao Kingdom. In the past, only Yang Laoer and Yang Wulang of the Yang family could compete with him.
In the first battle, no one else was a match. He couldn't even get past one round under Fan Long, which was so impressive. Think about it, Fan Long is only twenty-one years old, four years younger than Yang Bamei.
Yang Peng is also leaving. It has been almost half a year since Yang Peng left Youzhou. In the past six months, his living space in Ryukyu has also expanded, and he also has a territory of his own. Lin Qing'er and Mrs. She are also very happy. Yang Peng clicked
Nodding, "Continue to work harder." "Yes." Yang Peng glanced at the other brothers and warned: "The other brothers should do a good job in training. I hope that in three months, both recruits and veterans will be able to go into battle to kill the enemy.
!" Everyone agreed in unison.
Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "Go ahead." Everyone clasped their fists at Yang Peng and filed out of the hall. As soon as they left, Qian Letian ran in, clasped his fists and said, "General." Qian Letian,
It has already appeared in the previous article, that is, the former Liao Dynasty's general judge in Shangjing.
Yang Peng glanced at him and said, "It's you, are you okay?" He sat down and Qian Letian said mysteriously: "The official once said that he must show his loyalty to the general." Yang Peng said with a smile.
: "So you've figured out a way?"
Qian Letian nodded, walked quickly to the map stand nearby, pointed to a place, "General, please look." Yang Peng stood up, walked over, and saw that he was pointing to Jizhou. Jizhou is also Yanyun.
One of the sixteen states, but it is still under the control of the Liao Kingdom. Yang Peng frowned and said: "Jizhou is in the hands of the Liao Kingdom, do you want to help me capture Jizhou?" Qian Letian shook his head and said mysteriously:
"No!"
Yang Peng said angrily: "Don't sell it to me, what's going on?" Qian Letian smiled and said: "I know that the general has been worried about the lack of war horses. This Jizhou is the most important in the south of Liao Kingdom.
The horse farm. According to the information obtained by my subordinates from the relevant people, the military horses at Jizhou Horse Farm have not been transferred, and everything remains the same. Don’t you want to get these military horses?"
Yang Peng frowned and said: "It's very tempting! But I'm afraid the moon in the mirror is just out of reach!" Pointing to Shunzhou, "If you want to go to Yuyang, you must first break through Shunzhou. But Shunzhou has Xiao Xiao from the Liao Kingdom.
The Empress Dowager is heavily guarding it, and it is difficult to do so with the current strength of our army." Jizhou is more than a hundred miles east of Shunzhou, and Shunzhou is backed by a river from north to south called Qidu River.
The river cut off the connection between the Shangjing area and Jizhou. When Empress Dowager Xiao retreated that day, she ordered the destruction of all ships on the west bank of Qidu River and all pontoons except Shunzhou Floating Bridge. Then Empress Dowager Xiao ordered people to set up a large number of pontoons along the river.
Lookout posts, and there are always thousands of war cavalry patrolling along the east bank of Qidu River.
Qian Letian said mysteriously: "You don't have to go through Shunzhou." Then he pointed to a place, which was the lower reaches of Qidu River and a place called Yanfangdian east of Shangjing. It was a swampy lake area with a dangerous environment and inaccessible places.
The cattle and sheep that entered Yanfangdian disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. They were all swallowed up by the swamps and mire. White bones were left on the grass and corpses floated on the water. It was definitely a restricted area for life.
"There is a small road in this place that few people know about, which can be crossed. The reason why my subordinates did not report this to the general during this period was to confirm whether this road is still feasible." "What's the result?" Qian Letian clasped his fists.
Said: "God bless you, General. This road is still feasible, and the Liao Kingdom's security here is very weak. Obviously they don't know the existence of this road."
"How did you know about this road?" "To be honest, when I was working on the Liao Dynasty's Nanjing trial, I did some smuggling business with others, and I learned about the existence of this trail from those people."
"Where are those people now?" "They are all in Shangjing City."
Yang Peng asked with a smile: "Still doing trend trading?" Qian Letian nodded, and then said: "But my subordinates no longer cooperate with them." Yang Peng patted his shoulder, "I want you to
They found it for me." Qian Letian asked doubtfully: "What does the general mean...?" Yang Peng looked at the map and thought: "Since they also know this valuable passage, I can't let them
It fell into the hands of the Liao people." Qian Letian's face turned pale, "General, General, do you want to..."
Seeing that his expression was different, Yang Peng understood and said with a smile: "You misunderstood, I have no intention of killing people and silencing them. I just want to temporarily control them until I use this channel. Of course, since
They discovered this passage, and I will also pay them a certain amount of reward."
Qian Letian breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his fists and said, "My subordinates will contact them as soon as possible and bring them here." "Just say that I have a business to cooperate with them."
"Yes." Yang Peng looked at Yanfangdian and began to think. Qian Letian asked: "I wonder when the general will take action? I can make preparations in advance." Yang Peng smiled slightly, shook his head gently, and murmured
Said: "Now is not the time, maybe this passage will have a greater purpose!"...
Emperor Zhao Heng led all the civil and military officials and all the lords in Beijing to hold a grand ceremony to worship heaven at Jiucheng Palace outside the capital, praying to God and the heroic spirits of the ancestors to ensure that this expedition to the Northern Expedition would be a complete victory. Jiucheng Palace was built during the Taizong period.
Because of Taishi Pang's initiative, a large-scale and magnificent Taoist palace was built in the suburbs of Beijing. There are nine palaces located in the nine directions of the world, and nine tripods are stored in them. This is nothing more than a piece of entertainment for Taishi Pang and Emperor Zhenzong.
Just a matter.
The emperor led hundreds of officials to worship heaven and earth in accordance with ancient etiquette. At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the scene, as loud as thunder. Everyone present was horrified and changed their color. They quickly sent someone to inquire. After a while, someone reported back, saying
The tripod enshrined in the palace to the north suddenly exploded for some unknown reason!
Zhao Heng was panic-stricken and had many doubts. Seeing this, Taishi Pang immediately came out to congratulate: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The broken tripod in the north is clearly a sign from God that the Liao Kingdom is about to fall apart, and I, the Great Song Dynasty, will soon aspire to the world!"
"
Zhao Heng's worry turned into joy. All the officials were good at adapting to the changing circumstances. Seeing this, they all shouted congratulations: "Congratulations to your Majesty, you will build a foundation that will last forever!"
Zhao Heng was extremely excited. Looking at the Lord Baiguan kneeling in front of him, he felt in a daze that he seemed to have surpassed his ancestor, Emperor Taizong, and even surpassed Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who was regarded as the model of a wise king!
The day after the ceremony to worship the heaven, Zhao Heng held a grand swearing-in ceremony. The coach, old Jiang Caobin, received the sword representing the authority of the emperor from Zhao Heng, and immediately swore to go to war. A hundred thousand troops marched to Beijing in a mighty manner.
, at the same time, another 100,000 troops gathered towards Beijing from all directions. A great war has begun.
Going to Beijing, staying in the lobby of the residence. Yang Peng frowned slightly as he looked at the letter that had just been sent, then put down the letter and said to the brothers: "Cao Bin has sent troops." Everyone started talking in low voices. Yang Peng looked at Zhan Jinguo and others.
People asked: "How is the training of the new recruits?" The recruitment of new recruits was completed almost two months ago. During these two months, each division was seizing the time to train. The content of the training was in addition to the army of this era.
In addition to the combat and battle formation offensive and defensive skills that must be mastered, there are also some physical training and team spirit training for later generations of armies. In addition to these trainings, the "sirs" of each division use their time every evening and noon to carry out ideological education and methods.
Yang Peng brought it all from his own mind, and watched these soldiers become fanatical one by one.
Zhan Jinguo clasped his fists and said, "Everyone can't wait to go to the battlefield right away and kill the enemy and make contributions!" Duan Zhixian said loudly: "If there is no more battles, these boys will probably cause trouble!" Everyone laughed. Yang Peng laughed.
Said: "If you are a soldier, just want to fight! Don't worry, there will be a war soon, and it will be a big war! All divisions must be ready to go out at any time!" Everyone agreed in unison, with a loud voice.
The film was shaken.
Yang Peng said to Zhan Jinguo: "Each division will dispatch 10,000 elite troops and secretly transfer them to the vicinity of Yanfangdian. Coach, you will lead this army. When you get there, you must strictly block the news and wait for my order." Zhan Jinguo clasped his fists.
Yes. "The others are preparing for war step by step." "Yes." Everyone agreed in unison.
A secret guard rushed in and presented a letter to Yang Peng. Yang Peng took the letter, opened it, took out the letter paper, read it again, frowned slightly. He raised his head and said to everyone: "It's Zhang
Yan's letter. Not long ago, they and the imperial troops from other military states supported Dongping and Dongchang states, and the Black Wind Mountain horses quickly evacuated. Unexpectedly, the Black Wind Mountain soldiers and horses did not retreat to Heifeng Mountain, but raided the empty defensive areas.
There were several other states, including Qingzhou. The prefect Cai Tongzhi fled without a fight, and the Qingzhou treasury was looted."
Duan Zhixian asked angrily: "Many villagers must have died!" Yang Peng shook his head, "This time there were no casualties among the soldiers and civilians. The Black Panthers strictly restrained their subordinates and were not allowed to harm ordinary people." Duan Zhixian raised his thick eyebrows, "This
It’s strange that the bandits don’t kill anyone anymore!?”
Zhan Jinguo asked hurriedly: "I wonder what Zhang Yan's situation is now?" Yang Peng said: "Erlang and the others have nothing. By the time they rushed back, the soldiers and horses from Heifeng Mountain had already left. Not long after, Gao Hu
The 20,000 forbidden troops he led arrived at Heifeng Mountain, and now Heifeng Mountain's soldiers and horses are confronting Gao Hu. It is said that Heifeng Mountain has already lost two battles and has huddled in Heifeng Mountain and dare not come out."
Zhan Jinguo sighed with emotion: "The descendants of Gao Huaide! They bravely conquered the three armies, just like Guan Gong back then. They are indeed well-deserved!" Cheng Shijie looked unnatural. It is said that Cheng Shijie is the descendant of Cheng Yaojin and the queen of a famous general, but his reputation
But there is no way to compare with Gao Hu...
That night, Yang Peng pulled Yang Jiumei into the room. Yang Jiumei blushed and looked at Yang Peng excitedly. Yang Peng dragged Yang Jiumei to the bed, pointed to a set of clothes on the bed, and said excitedly: "Jiu.
Sister, put these on quickly and show me."
Yang Jiumei took a look at the strange clothes and pants on the bed. They were all made of black leather and looked like water cushions. Yang Jiumei picked up the clothes and found that the clothes were very small. She couldn't help frowning and said: "Can such small clothes be worn?
?" "Of course you can wear it. Your elder brother specially asked someone to make this for you! Put it on quickly and let me see."
Yang Jiumei took off her clothes, leaving only a small bellyband and a pair of close-fitting pants, and then prepared to put on the small black leather clothes. Yang Peng said quickly: "You have to take off all your clothes and pants."
!" Yang Jiumei's face turned red. She thought Yang Peng was deliberately causing trouble and rolled her eyes at him. She reached behind her back, pulled open the slip knot, and took off her bellyband. Yang Peng couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Yang Jiumei threw her bellyband on the bed, then took off her panties, and a pair of extremely slender breasts appeared in front of Yang Peng. Maybe Yang Jiumei was not the most beautiful, but her pair of breasts were definitely the most beautiful ones.
Unparalleled, she is extraordinarily slender and as white as jade, making people excited. Yang Jiumei first put on the leather pants. They were tight and had long legs, very sexy. Yang Jiumei frowned, "Too
It's tight!" Yang Peng praised, "It's so beautiful!" Hearing Yang Peng's praise, Yang Jiumei couldn't help but feel happy, and she didn't mind the tightness of her pants.
Then she put on the narrow leather jacket and buttoned it up. It was so tight that it made Yang Jiumei's slender waist extremely slender, while a pair of mountain peaks stood out particularly eye-catchingly, exposing the large areas of snow skin on her chest and the deep ravines.
Outside...? Yang Peng was stunned. The Yang Jiumei in front of him was so beautiful! Yang Jiumei was wearing such a tight leather jacket and leather pants, which made her figure look taller, and her breasts were enlarged and her waist was slim, which made her look sexy.
Charming flavor.
Yang Jiumei looked at her very sexy self and felt a little uneasy and a little excited. She looked up at Yang Peng and saw the stunning and obsessed look in Yang Peng's eyes, which made her feel happy. Yang Peng couldn't help but walked up to Yang Jiumei and hugged her.
He grabbed her slender waist and praised: "It's so beautiful!" Yang Jiumei couldn't help but smile, and then said with some annoyance: "What kind of clothes are these? There is no way to see people!"
Yang Peng kissed her red lips and said with a smile: "This set of clothes is specially worn for eldest brother." Yang Jiumei rolled her eyes at Yang Peng and said angrily: "You will change your ways to mess with us!" Yang Peng laughed.
, "If Jiumei doesn't like it, I won't wear it in the future." Yang Jiumei said quickly: "Since eldest brother likes it, I will wear it for eldest brother!" Yang Peng was extremely happy, "You are really my good Jiumei!" Yang Jiumei said lightly.
Smiling softly. The two looked at each other and couldn't help but fall in love. Yang Peng's eyes were burning with passion, while Yang Jiumei's beautiful eyes were full of excitement. The two couldn't help but kiss each other's lips.
The temperature then rose rapidly...
A maidservant sneaked out of Yang Peng's room carrying a basin of water. She looked around and found no one else, so she immediately put down the basin and took out a dagger from her arms. This maidservant was obviously the one who was there that day.
Han Bing tried to assassinate Yang Peng in Fanlou, Tokyo, but her face was very sallow and her original beauty was gone. How could she be here? It turned out that Han Bing had not given up on assassinating Yang Peng since the failed attempt. She had been there all the way.
Secretly followed Yang Peng back to Shangjing. When the left-behind mansion was recruiting maids, she disguised herself and went to apply for the job. Fortunately, she got the job, so she lurked in the left-behind mansion and waited for the opportunity. Today, she finally got an opportunity.
I saw her quickly walking along the corridor under the eaves to the window next to the bed at the back. She pressed her body against the wall next to the window and carefully poked her head out to observe the situation inside. I saw an exceptionally tall figure with no clothes on her body.
The woman with a charming figure is holding her head high, with a moving expression of being in a state of intoxication, her hair is flying, and she is moaning sweetly.
Han Bing's eyes widened suddenly, with a look of extreme horror. Then his cheeks turned crimson, and even his sallow disguise could not hide it; his eyes were full of panic. Snap. The two people in the room heard a sound coming from the window.
There was a soft sound, but the two of them, who were intoxicated with passion, did not pay attention to the sound...
The next morning, Cui'er picked up an exquisite dagger while cleaning on the back side of Yang Peng's bedroom. The little girl felt that something was unusual and hurriedly ran to report her master, Yang Tong. Yang Tong reported this to
Yang Peng told Yang Peng and handed the dagger to him. Yang Peng looked at the dagger in front of him and immediately thought of Han Bing, whom he had met once in Fanlou. Could it be her? At this moment, someone
Come and report that a maid in the house is missing.
Yang Peng understood. Yang Tong said nervously: "Mr. sir, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!" Yang Peng looked at the dagger, put it down, waved his hand and said: "There is no need. It is not good to make people panic. Be careful in the future.
Just a few." Yang Tong was still a little worried and frowned. Yang Peng stood up and walked to Yang Tong, held her slender hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Yang Tong rolled his eyes at Yang Peng, "How can you not be worried?" After a pause, "Ms. sir, there is something I want to discuss with you." Yang Peng nodded, showing a listening look, and hugged him gently.
Yang Tong's slender waist. Yang Tong leaned lightly on Yang Peng's arms and said: "The slave family feels that it is necessary to form a female guard to guard the back house."
Yang Peng thought for a while and nodded: "It is indeed necessary." Yang Tong quickly raised his head and asked with shining eyes: "Mr. Agree, do you agree?" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "Let Jiumei lead this group.
Let's form a team, what do you think?" Yang Tong nodded quickly and said: "The Nu family originally wanted to recommend Jiu Mei."
Then Yang Peng and Yang Tong found Yang Jiumei and told them about the matter. Yang Jiumei was very happy. She had actually wanted to form a female army for a long time. She stayed in the backyard all day long and felt that she was going moldy.
!
Now that the matter was settled, Yang Jiumei immediately got busy. While recruiting women who wanted to join the army, she also asked the ordnance field to create armor and ordnance specifically for female soldiers. Soon after, a female guard of several hundred people was formed. Order
What surprised Yang Peng was that most of the members of the female guard team were actually pretty, and they were not as ugly and ugly as Yang Peng had imagined before. Yang Peng didn't know the reason at the moment, but later Yang Peng found out that it turned out that
The outside world misunderstood his intention to form a female soldier team, thinking that he was using this as an excuse. In fact, he just wanted to select some young and beautiful women for his own enjoyment. Therefore, some pretty women who wanted to use it to jump into the dragon's gate flocked to him.
She was recruited as a female soldier. From this, the news about General Habayashi Wei's lustful life spread, and the news became more and more outrageous.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
