Training Tai Sui

Page 192

In Yang Yichen's words, that thing is just for decoration.

It's not that the armor is useless. This thing has existed for thousands of years from Xia Shang to the Qing Dynasty, which is enough to prove that this thing is definitely useful, and wearing armor can definitely reduce casualties to a certain extent.

But the armor is really expensive, not to mention the soldiers, Da Sui can barely make one for each brigade commander, and whether there are any other teams, it depends on whether the army you belong to is valued or not .

These days, the technology is insufficient, and mining of mineral deposits is very difficult, but to make a pair of armor, it needs to consume too much iron, which is very extravagant.

Among other things, the iron material to make a pair of armor is enough to cast a dozen or twenty spear heads. As long as a wooden pole is installed, it is a murderous weapon. Why make armor?

Moreover, there is also less copper these days. When copper is not enough, iron will also be used to make money.The concept of making armor with this thing is basically the same as that of later generations using silver and gold to make guns. Who can be so extravagant?

Therefore, except for the soldiers who charged into the battle, the twelve guards guarding Daxing, and the personal guards of the generals, the other soldiers of the Sui Dynasty rarely had armor, and had the most inferior leather armor.Made of cowhide, sheepskin, etc., at most, a little iron sheet is sewn on the critical places, and the protective effect... is better than nothing.

Of course, it doesn't mean that ordinary soldiers of the Sui Dynasty will never get armor for a lifetime, with one exception.

Time to die!

Whenever the battle situation is so bad that it cannot be recovered, or when the death squads are needed to break the deadlock, the higher-ups will give these soldiers who are basically mortals a suit of armor, and let them leave with glory, a kind of decency that is extremely sad.

To be honest, Qin Feng didn't feel this way before. After all, even though the more than a thousand people under his command didn't have armor, he thought it was because they hadn't been trained and they wouldn't equip them until the training was completed.

But now it seems that these more than a thousand people should belong to Yang Guang's private soldiers. The Ministry of War can transfer him a hundred craftsmen, and it doesn't care about his troubles with the Ministry of War. It can definitely be said to be lenient and magnanimous. After all This is indeed not a matter of the soldiers.

Qin Feng had a lot of problems, and Yang Yichen had no airs, but was also quite talkative, and the two of them enjoyed it.

But the other leader of the messenger team was not so easy to talk to.

Of course, it's not that Luo Yuan, the eunuch, doesn't want to see Qin Feng, but that he's old and trembling when he walks, so why don't you ask him what to say?

In the few conversations, Qin Feng did not gain anything, at least he understood a very simple truth.

It turns out that eunuchs are not allowed to bark indiscriminately these days.

Huangmen, father-in-law, eunuch, eunuch, husband, these are other names for servants in the palace, but they must not be collectively referred to as eunuchs.

Because eunuch is the official name among eunuchs, there are only a few in the entire Sui Dynasty, and they must not be called casually without appointment.

Otherwise... the emperor might not say anything, but those guys who have lost the most important part of a man, their sensitive minds are definitely smaller than the tip of a needle.There are not many people in the first place, and you have deprived them of their praiseworthy places. Who would be happy to put them in the same position as those little eunuchs?

If it's light, the little eunuch you call eunuch may be killed. If it's serious, you may not be allowed to put eye drops on you in front of the emperor.

Although Yang Jian suppressed the eunuchs very much, but the same sentence, if people change the tone or even change the sentence, they can extend many different meanings. Can you bear their concern?

Luo Yuan undoubtedly has the qualifications to be called an eunuch. As an eunuch in charge of the case, Luo Yuan is definitely one of the most peak eunuchs.

As the name suggests, the eunuch in charge of the case is responsible for managing the emperor's dragon case, and the memorials, imperial pens and other things on it are all within the scope of his duties.Although it is not as awesome as the chief servant, at least he can call himself a minister in front of the emperor instead of a slave.

In this overall rather harmonious atmosphere, the emissary team arrived at the city of Hefei in Lujiang County, an important county in the north of the Yangtze River, after a long journey of half a month.

Lujiang County is basically Qin Feng's last journey in the territory of the Sui Dynasty. As long as they cross the river, their trip will officially enter the territory of Nanchen.

But before going to Nanchen, Qin Feng also planned to meet someone.During this period of time, he has been thinking about a plan. If he can cooperate with this person, then Gan Luo's reputation in the current world may not be impossible.

Chapter 169

Not long after sending people to Hefei City to communicate, the sound of rumbling horseshoes resounded in everyone's ears.

Looking from a distance, I saw about thirty or forty riders rolling up dust all over the sky, and approaching the messenger team rapidly.

The leader was about fifty years old, taller than Yang Yichen, with a hulking back, a resolute face, and a neat black beard under his chin, looking majestic.

Under his hips was a chasing galloping horse, with a black iron armor with a beast face on his body, and a big knife that was more than a foot longer than ordinary ring-headed knives on his waist, which was extraordinarily heroic.

When he got close, the big man reined in his horse, turned off his horse neatly, and went straight to the envoy's army, hugged Qin Feng with both fists, and said in a loud voice: "Your Excellency, the governor of Luzhou and the Duke of Xinyi County, Han Qinhu, pay homage to the angel! "

The angel represents the Son of Heaven, even though Qin Feng is a white man with no official position, but Han Qinhu still has to salute when he sees him.

Damn, Da Sui randomly pulls out someone, either the Duke of the State, or the Duke of the County, and the last one is the Duke of the County. Da Sui's title is so worthless?

Qin Feng was very helpless, but he still hurriedly said: "Mr. Han, please get up quickly, and I hope that the students can't return the courtesy because of the talisman."

Han Qinhu straightened up, looked at Qin Feng a few times, grinned and said: "Welcome the angel into the city!"

Qin Feng didn't open his mouth. It is said that guests can do whatever they want. When they arrive at their territory, it's better to let them entertain them.Moreover, he had to find a place to talk slowly about his plan. There were too many people talking here, so it was obviously not a good place to talk about things.

Han Qinhu's attitude towards Qin Feng is good. In fact, logically speaking, a general like him, who is still a feudal official, should probably disdain an unknown guy like Qin Feng.

After thinking about it, Qin Feng felt that it should have something to do with the battle against Nan Chen next year.

Han Qinhu's real name is actually not this, he is from the Han family in Henan, not a very big family, but it is also a local prominent family.The main reason for the name change was that he was fighting a tiger when he was young, and he was very proud of the fact that he captured a fierce tiger alone, so he changed his name to Qinhu.

Han Qinhu's name is Zitong, and there are rumors that there are Jiulao who opened the Sui Dynasty, referring to the nine ministers who helped Yang Jian establish the Great Sui Dynasty, of which Han Qinhu ranked at the bottom.As for the reason, it is probably because his credit is not as good as those of the eight people, but this does not mean that his ability is not good.On the contrary, Han Qinhu's ability to be sent by Yang Jian on the edge of the river as a frontline commander to guard against Nan Chen is beyond doubt.

However, due to the lack of credit, when those eight old men were all Dukes of the state, Han Qinhu was still a Duke of the county, and still inherited his father's title.This made Han Qinhu very dissatisfied, but Da Sui wanted to be conferred and promoted only by military exploits.

Looking around the world, Nanchen is the only one who has not yet surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. I heard that Yang Guang will be the commander-in-chief of the crusade against Nanchen next year, and Qin Feng, as Yang Guang's teacher, does not have a good relationship with him. Who will fight with him? relation?

Don't think that military generals are all reckless people. A real stupid person will be a school lieutenant or a capital lieutenant. He will be a miscellaneous general if he is in the sky. other people's military exploits.

There is basically no idiot who can get to a high position.

If it's just because of the crusade against Nan Chen, perhaps Han Qinhu doesn't bother to talk to Qin Feng at all. After all, he is the general manager of Luzhou, who can command the army without him?

And here we have to talk about another person, that is He Ruobi who is also the Nine Elders of the Kaisui Dynasty and ranks second.

Like Han Qinhu, this Sinicized Xianbei native is also from Luoyang, but there is no drama where fellow villagers meet fellow villagers with tears in their eyes.

These two people don't know whether they are born to dislike each other or they are both young famous generals. Anyway, they just don't deal with it, and they are still in the same kind of situation, whether there is you or me.

It's a pity that He Ruobi and Shangshu Zuopushe Gaojiong have a very good relationship. The two people flatter each other when they have nothing to do, and they are so nasty and disgusting. He Ruobi, but Han Qinhu didn't even take a sip of the soup.

In the end, He Ruobi was named Song Guogong because of his meritorious service, and Han Qinhu is still a county prince. Can this heart be smooth?

In this crusade against Nanchen, apart from Han Qinhu, the general manager of Luzhou, He Ruobi will be the general manager in Wuzhou. A good attitude is not difficult to understand.

Thinking through all this, Qin Feng smiled and said: "The student has long admired Mr. Han's demeanor, and today I saw him, and he really fulfilled the old saying, there is no worthless man under a great reputation!"

Courtesy is reciprocal, he, Qin Feng, is still counting on when he goes to Nanchen as an envoy, if things don't go well, he will sneak back, and then he will not be allowed to ask Han Qinhu to accompany him, there is no harm in building a good relationship.

Han Qinhu laughed loudly when he heard the words, complacency is inevitable, and he returned the courtesy: "I often hear people say that angels are so talented, this time I am going south, and I even have to follow the example of the pre-Qin Gan Shangqing, so I can be called a younger generation!"

Qin Feng's face turned green. Damn it, this matter has been spread to Han Qinhu. Doesn't that mean... people in Nanchen also know about it?

However, Han Qinhu's words were not malicious in themselves, it was just that he didn't know Qin Feng and didn't know what to praise him for, so he could only use this as an argument.

Talking about gossip all the way, a group of people came to the Hefei government office.

As an angel, you can't talk about the host and honor at this time. Qin Feng took the main seat without hesitation, and Han Qinhu sat at Qin Feng's lower head.
