Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 329

Chai Lin led Master Qin to the White Tiger Hall, where the guests and hosts were seated.

The soldiers watched the tea, and the high-quality Xinyang Maojian tea was brought up. This is a good tea produced by Chashan, a partner of Chaijiazhuang.

Master Qin sighed and said: "The owner of Chai Zhuang has such a brain. It is really rare to do such a big business in less than two years. Now the tea sent to the Liao, Jin and grassland ministries is almost It all started from Cangzhou, and now Cangzhou City has become a gathering place for southern tea. But Xinyang Maojian is really not used to drinking it, and I still like to drink Longjing.”

"It's easy, Longjing, we have what we have, exchange tea with Master Qin right away." Chai Lin waved his hand, and arranged for his own soldiers to exchange tea with Master Qin.

The two drank tea and chatted for a while, Master Qin said: "I see that you have been a village soldier for two years, and your equipment is still so poor, cowhide armor, bamboo helmets, and an iron factory has also been set up, so equip with some iron armor. "

Chai Lin looked at Master Qin with a smile and said, "The township soldiers wear iron armor, which does not conform to the imperial regulations. Is this what Master Qin meant, or Master Su?"

Master Qin said in a low voice: "Chai Zhuangzhu doesn't know whether he is real or not. The dogs of the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom have all their brains out. The Liao Kingdom was defeated and lost more than half of the country. If there is no accident, the Liao Kingdom Next autumn, we will go south to attack Caogu, and Zhending, Hejian, Daming, and Cangzhou will be the first to bear the brunt. When the Liao soldiers come, we will ask for support and we will not rush there. It's time for us to fight hard."

Chai Lin said: "Don't lie to me. If I equip the village soldiers with iron armor, it will be a serious crime. After the official investigation, you will leave everything behind. I won't be fooled."

"It's worth it. If you're kind enough to be a donkey, just pretend I didn't say anything. I came here today to arrange for you. You don't want to export the cement you produce. The government wants all of it." Master Qin said.

Chai Lin shook his head: "Baoyuan, there are not many Baoyuan. Leling County needs to renovate the city wall, and just asked for [-] bags a few days ago."

"The county is as big as a palm, and so much cement can be used. Could it be that it is sold for money? I don't care. The city wall of Cangzhou needs to be strengthened, and at least [-] bags are prepared." Master Qin said.

Chai Lin said: "If the Liao soldiers really come, no matter how strong the city wall is, the soldiers will be blind for nothing. If you open the door and surrender at that time, your reputation in this life will be ruined."

"Let's take it one step at a time. First, build the city wall. Prepare [-] bags of goods for me. Don't worry, you will have the money." Master Qin said.

"Okay, no problem. Let's transport it one after another after work starts. This thing is too heavy, and a carriage can only carry twenty bags. Master Qin comes with me, and I'll show you something."

Master Qin followed Chai Linshen mysteriously to a heavily guarded warehouse at the back, and opened the heavy iron gate.Master Qin's eyes lit up. There were ten boxes of big silver coins worth twelve taels.

"A box of 3000 taels, a total of 3 taels. This is Mr. Su's dividend, you can take it back with you." Chai Lin said.

Master Qin said in surprise: "No way, there are so many, you don't have any conspiracy, right? The salt farm has only been built for a year, so how can there be so much profit?"

"Of course there is not so much profit. This year can only be regarded as flat. The newly built salt farm has huge expenses and no sales. This is the joint profit of the iron factory and the salt farm. It was agreed at the beginning." Chailin said .

Master Qin shook his head: "I'll go back and talk to Mr. Su, and we'll decide what he means."

Master Qin left, but Chai Lin didn't keep him. He ordered Chai Gang to form a convoy of fifty mule carts to transport cement to the government office.

For the reinforcement of the city wall, big blue bricks are the main material, and cement is just an auxiliary material.

There are still many places to be repaired. The female wall on the top of the city wall and the arrow tower have been in disrepair for a long time and need to be reinforced.Naturally, the projects undertaken by the Fu Yamen were more manpower than those mobilized by Chaijiazhuang, and the progress of more than 1 strong men was also faster.

Chai Gang reminded: "Manor, the risk of the Liao country going south is still very high. According to the usual practice, once the Liao and Jin soldiers suffer a big loss in the war, they will go south to make a fortune."

Chai Lin nodded: "It makes sense, don't say anything, I will inform Chen Heng, and strengthen the workshops in the East and West villages."

"Okay brother."

Chai Lin brought Chai Meng, Dian Zhengnan, and Jie Bao to the salt field. The two hundred light cavalry stationed in the salt field were running back and forth on the training ground.

The light cavalry pays attention to the unity of man and horse, and they all use thin and medium-sized soldiers, who immediately shoot their bows and arrows, coming and going like the wind.

Dian Zhengnan said: "It's really like that, a lot of progress has been made in a few months."

"Well, after a few wars, you become a veteran, but now it looks like a show." Chailin said.

Shi Jin waved the three-pointed two-edged knife, flew over, got off the horse, and said happily: "Welcome brother to inspect the team."

"How, have you found the feeling?" Chailin asked.

Shi Jin said: "In the past few months, I haven't been idle every day. As long as the horsepower allows, I have been training. I have performed well in the training, but I don't know what it will be like in actual combat. Bows and arrows do not come into contact with the enemy. I have never done it before. I have heard of this kind of tactics."

"Don't worry, this will be the mainstream method of warfare in the future. Grassland horses are thin and light, and light cavalry has weak armor. Isn't it courting death if you hit it head-on? So riding and shooting is the truth. Don't contact the enemy. I came here today to tell you something. .” Chailin said.

"Oh, what is it, please tell me, brother?"

"Your master, does Li Zhong still remember?" Chai Lin asked.

"Of course I remember, that is my master who taught me some basic skills and skills." Shi Jin said.

"Yes, Li Zhong is now in Qingzhou Taohua Mountain. He is the head of the family, and there is Zhou Tong, the second head of the family. The two of them live together with thousands of people, and they are weak. There are very few caravans in Qingzhou, and they are also very difficult. , farming and reclaiming wasteland for a living, but there is no tool, and the harvest is extremely poor." Chailin said.

His master, Shi Jin, is well aware that his martial arts are only good enough to frighten people. Although Zhou Tong has never seen the second-rate or lower-rate martial arts, he should be worse than his master. One can imagine the difficulty of surviving in an environment full of strong people.

Shi Jin said, "Brother, you want me to invite Master Li Zhong?"

"No, there are bandits in Qingzhou now, and Li Zhong and Zhou Tong were invited here, and Taohua Mountain immediately became someone else's territory. We are weak in Qingzhou, so we can just use Taohua as our stronghold." Chai Lin said.

Shi Jin suddenly realized, and said: "Okay brother, I think the master will definitely agree, when will we set off?"

Chailin looked up at the sun, the sun was already westward, around four o'clock in the afternoon.

Chai Lin said, "Let's go faster, and we can still catch up with dinner."

"It takes three or four hundred miles to get to Peach Blossom Mountain from here. It's not bad to get there in three days." Shi Jin said.

If you go by land from Cangzhou to Taohua Mountain in Qingzhou, you will walk in a bow-back shape, and it will take four hundred miles.But if you take the waterway from the port, it will be much closer. About [-] miles away by sea, and [-] miles south of the shore, you will find Peach Blossom Mountain.

Chai Meng smiled and said: "Brother Shi Jin arrange for the lieutenant general, let's go, and you will know in a while."

"Okay, brother later." Shi Jin went over and arranged for lieutenants Chen Da and Yang Chun, and then rode over.

A group of five people rode to Dinghai Port to set up their horses. This harbor is very large. In a secluded place, Shi Jin found a huge black warship slowly coming out of the water. This warship has smooth lines, like a giant bird.
