Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

In Jiang Yuzhu's view, although Barbarian is cruel, he values ​​interests more.

The reason for the war between the two countries was the stability of military supplies. The territory of the barbarians was even more bitter and cold than the border towns of Daqi.

If it weren't for the secret support of some forces, the barbarians would not be so arrogant and chose to invade Daqi in winter.

"Even if the second brother is really caught, 5 taels of silver cannot be exchanged for food, grass and wound medicine, but what about the 10 taels?"

No matter how much appetite the barbarian has, Jiang Yuzhu will be satisfied even if he smashes the pot and sells iron, as long as Jiang Huaiqing comes back head and tail.

The rest was beyond Jiang Yuzhu's consideration.

Behind his back, Mo Qianyu said with emotion: "Brother Xie, I really envy you."

Xie Zhao's hand holding the tea cup paused, his lips curved slightly, and he pretended not to care and said, "Oh, what are you envious of?"

"No wonder Zhi Lan has a good relationship with Mrs. Sister-in-law. Mrs. Sister-in-law is really broad-minded and values ​​love and righteousness. Looking at it from another perspective, if Brother Xie was kidnapped by barbarians, she would also do this."

Most people are profit-seeking and are willing to spend all their wealth to save others, and this is not just talk.

It sounds simple, but not everyone has the courage.

Mo Qianyu was deeply touched by this. He had many misunderstandings about Jiang Yuzhu in the past. Only after being slapped in the face repeatedly did he realize his own narrow-mindedness.

Xie Zhao frowned slightly, it sounded like he was praising him, but there was a curse behind his words.

Taking a sip of tea, Xie Zhao stared at the turbid tea soup with tea foam floating on it, and said firmly: "No."

Xie Zhao is confident that he will not be captured by barbarians and become a prisoner.

The scene was stagnant for a while. Mo Qianyu stared at Xie Zhao and his expression changed. He mistakenly thought that Jiang Yuzhu was reluctant to part with the money, and suddenly said: "Brother Xie, it turns out that you haven't settled your wife yet?"

Also, Jiang Yuzhu has the support of the entire Jiang family.

Whatever Xie Zhao can give, the Jiang family can also give.

Such a woman will not be dazzled by love and love, and is not easy to deceive.

Mo Qianyu stood up on his own initiative, came to Xie Zhao's side and comforted: "Brother Xie, we have been brothers for so many years, and I have found that I am not as good as you in many aspects. You are so calculating and calculating, and you almost have no tricks, but you have not lost your self-knowledge. In fact, It’s rare.”

Yes, Mo Qianyu also believed that Jiang Huaiqing's status was higher than Xie Zhao's in Jiang Yuzhu's heart.

Who would have thought that he and Xie Zhao would coincide with each other? They really think alike!

Xie Zhao: "..."

If you can't speak, you don't have to!

Too lazy to talk to Mo Qianyu, Xie Zhao left the military tent first.

Mo Qianyu was right about one thing. If Xie Zhaozhen was captured, Jiang Yuzhu would not spend all his wealth to ransom him. Is he worthy?

In the final analysis, Xie Zhao's status is low. If he wants to improve his status, the only way to improve his status is to rely on his father and his son.

At noon, the sky was dark and there were light snowflakes.

Jiang Yuzhu put aside the chaotic thoughts in her mind, called Shaoyao and others in front of her, and taught them how to suture.

By the time the class was over, it was already dark.

The lights in the military tent were brightly lit.

Jiang Yuzhu dug out the hidden weapon left in the soldier's body by Barbarian, and his expression became more solemn: "General Mo, Princess, look..."

It is about the size of a bullet, but has a cross-shaped structure.

"The resulting wound needs to be sutured, otherwise it will cause multiple tears."

Jiang Yuzhu analyzed it from the perspective of a doctor and found that Manzi was ruthless this time.

The hidden weapon designed is the magic weapon to win this war.

"Soldiers are made of flesh and blood. Soldiers without armor are vulnerable to hidden weapons."

On the battlefield, talking about favors is the most useless. Only by fighting hard and killing the enemy can you save yourself.

Jiang Yuzhu simply made suggestions on equipment. We need to purchase armor in large quantities and at the same time improve weapons to retaliate in kind.

There is no place for her in the military tent.

After Jiang Yuzhu finished speaking, she was ready to be laughed at by the crowd.

Unexpectedly, the generals fell silent.

After a long while, a bearded man said: "Mrs. Xie, Barbarian has been improving hidden weapons for a few days. In fact, we also have ways to deal with it, but..."

Although he was ashamed, the bearded man still said sourly: "We have no money."

If the grain and grass transported by Xie Zhao had not been delivered to the border town in time, the soldiers would have reduced their three meals to two.

All the military needs are provided by the common people, grain by grain, from their own rations.

"You didn't have armor before?"

Before coming, Jiang Yuzhu heard from the grapevine that the army camp in the north of the city was in short supply. When she arrived, she realized that they were really poor!

The national treasury once allocated funds, but they were robbed by bandits on the way.

After years of war, in addition to the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the soldiers, there are also pensions for the dead and wounded soldiers, which adds up to a huge amount.

The bearded man drooped his head and replied: "The armors are all made from a batch of iron armors about twenty years ago. They are too heavy. If you wear them, the soldiers will not be flexible enough..."

The main reason is that it was not properly preserved. The armor has long been rusted and its performance is far inferior to its former glory.

"Yuzhu, there is another reason."

The two armies were fighting in a melee, and the barbarian was wearing the same iron armor that had been manufactured by the camp in the north of the city.

Princess Yutan said that the main reason why Daqi soldiers did not use iron armor was because it was not distinguishable enough.

Jiang Yuzhu was slightly surprised. She knew a thing or two about armor. Did Daqi not have cloth face armor?

Metal armor has a complicated production process, and the military supplies of hundreds of thousands of soldiers are extremely expensive to integrate into one place.

If you sew the nail pieces on cotton, the cotton will be on the inside in winter, and you can wear it backwards to expose the nail pieces in summer. Wearing both sides will keep you warm in winter and cool in summer.

This has a very good defensive effect and is quite lightweight!

Moreover, if you use local materials from the remaining armor, you can save a lot of money.

Jiang Yuzhu had this idea and decided to study it before displaying it.

Just after dinner time, a soldier sent a message: "Young General, Princess, the barbarians have brought people to trade!"

Princess Yutan's heart tightened and she stood up.

Jiang Yuzhu held Princess Yutan's hand and noticed that her palm was cold and covered with greasy cold sweat.

"Yuzhu, don't worry."

Princess Yutan held Jiang Yuzhu back, gritted her teeth and said calmly.

In front of the two armies' formations, there was a slope of earth for cover.

Manzi sent a small team of men to stand in the center, tying up a man in prison uniform.

The sky was dark, and even with the white snow as a backdrop, the man's face couldn't be clearly seen.

But looking at his body shape, he is very different from Jiang Huaiqing.

"How about it, Xiao Yutan, are you willing to change your lover?"

Manzi shouted in broken Daqi dialect, and then let out a bellows-like laugh, which was creepy.

Jiang Yuzhu heard this harshly and wished she could rush forward and beat up Manzi Fatty. She stared at the man in prison clothes for a long time and finally shook her head.

The surrounding area outside the city was deserted, without shelter, and the cold wind was even more raging.

Xie Zhao put a cloak on Jiang Yuzhu and stood with his hands behind his hands. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the prisoner surrounded by barbarians. The man's hair was disheveled, covering half of his face.

Looking at the facial features, it is indeed unclear.

It seems that Barbarian did it on purpose.

Do you think they have no other choice?

Xie Zhao only observed for half a quarter of an hour, then turned his head and whispered to Jiang Yuzhu: "I don't know whether the barbarian has arrested someone, but the person who was brought here is not the second brother."
