The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

However, it will take some time to see the effect. Unlike the fish in the sea, which have reproduced everywhere, you can catch a lot of them with just one catch. This is not what Ye Tianlong said. In this era, since humans have not been able to build those big steel ships, it is actually very dangerous to fish in deep sea areas. Most fishermen only catch fish in shallow sea areas, and because Seawater is much more corrosive than freshwater, so fishermen often need to return home after catching fish for several days, and then perform some maintenance on their boats and fishing nets before they can go fishing again. These two days of fishing This is how the allusion of three days of net drying comes from. This does not mean that fishermen are lazy and need to take three days off after working for two days. It is actually because the quality of fishermen’s fishing boats, fishing nets and other hardware is not good. After catching fish for two days, they need to be well maintained. .

However, Ye Tianlong has now built many large-scale ocean-going fishing boats made of steel, and asked naval generals such as Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng to specifically identify the places where fish schools gather for large-scale fishing. The fishing efficiency is much higher than that of previous fishermen working alone. It’s much better to fight alone.

In addition to regular meat such as sea fish, Ye Tianlong also sent skilled hunters such as the two-headed snake Jie Zhen and the two-tailed scorpion Jie Bao into the mountains to capture tigers, leopards, jackals, wild boars, giant bears and other beasts, and used their blood to make large quantities of essence and blood pills as The training materials for the soldiers under his command. In addition, in the hometown of the Jin people and the territory of Goryeo, Ye Tianlong also sent many ginseng pickers to search for and collect a large amount of wild ginseng. Among these wild ginseng, there are many spiritual ginsengs that are hundreds or even thousands of years old, and are now using them as the main material. After refining the elixir, it will be of great benefit even to an innate master like Ye Tianlong.

Relying on this large amount of miraculous medicine, the cultivation level of Ye Tianlong's soldiers has been greatly improved in this year. Among them, the militiamen have at least the Ming Jin cultivation level, and the regular soldiers have at least the Dark Jin cultivation level. , even the Huajin masters have more than 20,000 people. The number of innate masters is much smaller. After all, there is a big hurdle from nurture to innateness. Some mediocre people with poor qualifications may not be able to break through after decades of hard work. Therefore, the current innate masters under Ye Tianlong’s command are only Just over 800 people.

Ye Tianlong also practiced hard day and night during this year, which enabled him to break through to the fourth level of innate cultivation in one fell swoop. Five others, such as Lin Chong, Shi Wengong, Lu Junyi, Sun An, and Yang Zhi, had already reached the fifth level of innate cultivation. His cultivation level is even stronger than Ye Tianlong's. And more than a dozen people, such as Guan Sheng, Qin Ming, Hu Yanzhuo and Hua Rong, have also cultivated to the fourth level of innate cultivation. They came into contact with the superb martial arts taught by Li Rufeng later than Lin Chong and others. Otherwise, they He has now reached the fifth level of innate cultivation.

In addition to the huge improvement in strength, this year's military factories across the Qinglong Empire also built a large number of weapons and equipment under the supervision of Ye Tianlong, such as those militia units, most of which can now be equipped with a set of cloth armor. , the long-range weapons have also been replaced by large-caliber flintlock rifles from the previous winch heavy crossbows, and some of the stronger ones are equipped with a set of full-body plate armor. As for the eliminated equipment such as chest plate armor and winch heavy crossbows, they were all equipped to the armies of slave countries such as Dali, Southwest Yi, and Japan.

As for the most elite regular soldiers of the Qinglong Empire, all their armors were replaced with armors made of dark alloy material that Murong Jie and his subordinates such as Tang Long and several other experts had finally restored.

These armors are harder than ordinary steel. The average thickness of the cloth-faced armor worn by ordinary soldiers is only about two millimeters, but it is enough to withstand the Qinglong Empire's self-produced flintlock rifles with calibers up to 15 millimeters. Shot at close range within twenty meters. As for the heavy full-body plate armor equipped by heavy infantry, the average thickness of the equipment has reached four millimeters, which is twice as thick as that of ordinary soldiers. Such thick armor may not even be bombarded by some small-caliber artillery. Unable to break defense.

That is because the strength and endurance of the soldiers have been greatly enhanced after practicing martial arts. Otherwise, wearing such heavy armor, let alone fighting, I am afraid that just walking a few steps would make me out of breath.

In addition to these conventional equipment, Ye Tianlong also had hundreds of tanks, thousands of armored combat vehicles, thousands of various aircraft and dozens of ironclad ships built, which greatly strengthened the Qinglong Empire's army, air force and navy. of combat power.

The reason why he was able to build so much weaponry and equipment in one year was actually thanks to the gold and silver dug from the Japanese country. With this gold and silver, Ye Tianlong not only allowed the state-controlled military factories to operate at full capacity, but also Even many private workshops have received a large number of orders. Over the past year, I have been so busy that I have never touched the ground, but I have also made a lot of money that I could only make in at least seven or eight years in the past.

When those officials from the former Song Dynasty saw that Ye Tianlong spent money like water this year and built a large number of various war equipment, they all secretly cursed Ye Tianlong as a militaristic tyrant. If the country continues to be tortured by him like this, Sooner or later he will die.

Ye Tianlong didn't know what those officials were thinking. In his opinion, his Qinglong Empire didn't look like it was going to die. Instead, because he had done a lot of construction and built a lot of equipment this year, A large number of jobs have been created for people everywhere, so that even ordinary people can earn a lot of money, and their living conditions are much better than before. As a result, the entire Qinglong Empire has become full of vitality, from top to bottom. All are full of life.

Seeing that the Qinglong Empire was well-equipped with troops, Ye Tianlong began to think of sending out troops again. This time, his target was the Indian region. According to the intelligence he had collected over the past year, that area had a large population. Numerous, many demons fled over, and then quickly conquered that area with powerful force. Then based on the original caste system in that land, one after another claimed to be gods came to the world and occupied the area that originally belonged to The Brahmin class of monks and nobles divided dozens of Kshatriya kings to rule various places and established a huge demonic kingdom. Every year, without having to do anything, a large number of their subordinates would clean their compatriots and send them to their mouths. The devil tastes.

Because this demonic kingdom was closest to the Qinglong Empire and was also powerful, Ye Tianlong made it his primary target.

Shortly after the New Year, Ye Tianlong confirmed from the imperial doctor that Queen Li Rufeng was pregnant, so he asked Li Rufeng to stay in the country and help him stay in the rear while raising the baby. He personally led 400,000 regular soldiers and 800,000 militiamen. , expedition to the Indian Demonic Kingdom.

The demons entrenched in India were living a very comfortable life. Suddenly they were shocked when they heard that the Qinglong Empire was going to send troops to fight against them. Only then did they understand what it means to shoot the first bird with a gun! I understood why the other companions either wanted to go all the way to Europe, or to go to a bitter cold place like Siberia where there were not many humans. However, the companions from India, which is not far from the Qinglong Empire and has a large population, do not want to come. After they occupied the territory here, they were secretly proud and laughed in their hearts at the fact that their other companions were idiots! But now it seems that the clown is actually me!

In order to fight against the coming Qinglong Empire, these demons hurriedly ordered the earth kings everywhere to start recruiting large numbers of young men to form armies.

It is a pity that Ye Tianlong has always been vigorous and resolute in dispatching troops. In less than half a month, the Qinglong Empire's army had arrived in India and began to land.

At this time, the Indian kings had just recruited a group of soldiers and had not had time to train them!
