"Hehe, you can make bows and arrows" Yang Hao listened to Li Xing's words, and felt that it was ridiculous, and Li Guangcen on the side couldn't help laughing.
The people on the grassland, who has no bow, who has no arrows.
Hunting bows and arrows, every family has to use, almost every family will make, when it comes to the skills of making bows and arrows, the Han people in the Central Plains are indeed not comparable to them, because it is an important tool they use to make a living, just like they must ride and shoot every day, so the bow and horse are skilled, at this point, the warriors of the Central Plains have been training hard for ten years, and they may not be able to compare with them.
The hardships of life and the special environment naturally ensure their continuous progress in this area.
No matter what nationality it is, there are always its strengths.
In front of Qiang Village, Yang Hao asked what skills this Li Xing is good at, but he wanted to speak and stopped, looking worried, Yang Hao also said that he had any major secrets, so he took him back to the prefect's yamen, invited him into the back hall and asked carefully, who wanted to ask such an answer.
Li Xing saw that he was not interested, and hurriedly said: "Adult, the villain's words may not be clear."
The bows and arrows made by the villains are different from the military bows of the adults, and they are also different from the ordinary hunting bows on the grassland. ” Yang Hao smiled: "Oh, what's the difference, you can tell me about it." ” Li Xing is tall, but his face is mediocre, and the pockmarked scars on his face are even a little ugly, but at this time, he showed a confident brilliance, but he also suddenly showed a little brilliance.
He said proudly: "My lord, this bow made by the villain is made of tough mountain mulberry wood for the crossbow, and solid sandalwood for the crossbow body, iron for the head of the Dengzi spear, copper for the horse's face and teeth, and hemp rope for the string.
The bow body is three feet two inches, the string length is two feet five inches, light and strong, two hundred and forty steps of elm can enter half an arrow, its force is enough to penetrate the heavy armor, and the distance can be about three hundred and forty steps. ” After Li Xing's words came out, a confident smile appeared on his face, only that Yang Hao must have been taken aback when he heard it, but Yang Hao sat still, his expression was calm, and he actually had the majesty of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him and his face did not change, Li Xing couldn't help but feel stunned: "Is this adult not interested in my weapon at all?"
How did he know that Yang Hao was not uninterested, but in terms of the cognition of this kind of weapon, it was simply a two hundred and five.
Lord Yang didn't understand what he meant by what he said.
Li Guangcen on the side heard it clearly, but his heart was like a mirror.
As soon as Li Xing finished speaking, the tea that Li Guangcen had swallowed in his mouth squirted out with a "poof".
He didn't bother to wipe his beard, so he jumped up and said in horror: "What do you say, if an arrow is shot, it can be half an arrow into the elm wood within two hundred and forty steps, and it can be as far as three hundred and forty steps, how is it possible, how is it possible, Li Xing, don't talk big about people." ” Li Xing bowed down and said: "The villain doesn't dare to coax the adult, an ordinary bow, even if you have a thousand catties of divine power, but the bow and crossbow itself is not helpful, and you can't shoot so far."
And my bow, if it weren't for a strong man, of course, would not be able to shoot so far, but the bow made by the villain is equipped with a wheel to borrow power, and a man with ordinary strength can't shoot 340 steps, and 240 steps can shoot through the human body. ” "How is it possible, how is it possible, you really are not cheating on the old man" Li Guangcen snorted, his face was dizzy, and he was obviously extremely excited.
Yang Hao was still sitting there on the ground, but when he saw Li Guangcen like this, he noticed that there was something wrong, and he quickly stood up and asked in surprise: "Lord Mu, is this bow very good?"
As soon as Yang Hao asked this, Li Guangcen and Li Xing's cheeks twitched in unison, daring to love that of course he didn't understand this bow at all.
It is said that at that time, there had never been such a powerful divine bow in the world, that is, until five hundred years later, the longbow that was famous in the West became garbage compared to the bow that Li Xing said.
Five hundred years later, what is the performance of the longbow that has shown its might on the Western battlefield has a pulling force of about 70 kilograms, and the working distance of 0.58 meters is close to the limit of the longbow, and when shooting at large elevation angles, the maximum range of an arrow weighing 60 grams is only 240 meters.
What is the performance of the bow that Li Xing is talking about, the size of this bow is not only very compact, the longer bow is small, and the performance is more than double that of the long bow, 240 steps is 370 meters, and 340 steps is 520 meters.
What a concept it is If the fortress of the Central Plains is attacking and defending, the defender has the city protection, the attacker has a big shield protection, and the two sides calmly exert it, its role may not be very obvious, but the grassland is mostly cavalry mobile combat, rangers shoot long-range, do not do short-range contact at all, and there is nothing to rely on to cover the bow and arrow, at this time, if your bow range is more than double that of the opponent, its strength can penetrate the heavy armor, what does it mean Whether it is the era of cold weapons or the age of hot weapons, it is self-evident how much war superiority a new weapon with performance far exceeding the current level of weapons will give those who possess it.
At this time, Yang Hao also got serious, hurriedly asked Li Xing to sit down, and asked carefully.
According to him, the bow he made had such superior performance because he knew some clever things such as wheels and gears on the basis of his exquisite workmanship, so that he could give full play to the power of this machine.
This kind of bow was developed by him not long ago, and it has not yet spread in the world, so even Li Guangcen has never heard of it.
Yang Hao listened to his explanation clearly, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
If Luling Prefecture has such a sharp weapon to defend the city, the security will inevitably go to a higher level, and if the Great Song Dynasty has the help of this weapon, it will inevitably be like a tiger, but now it is still Li Xing's words, before seeing the real thing, it is still difficult to predict whether the bow he made really has such an effect, and it will not be known until he creates a audition.
At this time, I am not busy with any arrangements.
At that moment, Yang Hao poured him a cup of tea and asked him about his origin.
It turned out that this Li Xing was originally from Lingzhou and a descendant of the Tuoba clan, but when he arrived at his father's generation, because he angered Li Yiyin at that time, even the cattle and horses and the clansmen were swallowed up, and he was reduced from a nobleman to a commoner.
His father moved to Lingzhou with his family, and settled here, because his father was good at iron smelting and forging, and was a master smelter when he was in the Dingyan army, so he opened a weapons shop, took a shop called "Yipintang", and bought steel to make weapons for sale.
Among the weapons made by "Ippintang", bows and arrows and long swords are the most excellent, and they are famous far and wide, so the locals refer to "Ippintang" as Lee's Ippin.
It means that the swords and arrows made by the Li family are superb.
After more than 20 years of hard work, Yipintang's fame has become bigger and bigger, and its business has become bigger and bigger, and even the generals in the Dingyan Army often come to the Li family's "Yipintang" to buy weapons.
Yang Hao's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, he was still worried about steel yesterday, as far as he knew, the Xiazhou grassland itself did not have a steel production place, and the steel was purchased from him, which is also the place where the Khitan and the Great Song Dynasty used to clamp Xiazhou, and now listen to his Li Xing's tone, his iron shop is still very famous in Lingzhou, and the business is very big, and he has doubts.
Yang Hao hurriedly interrupted him and asked: "Li Xing, you said that your Li family makes a living by forging weapons, and your copper and iron needs must be not small, where did you buy this copper and iron?"
Li Xing said "hey" and said painfully: "My lord, my Li family is ruined, and it is because of this copper and iron."
Speaking of which, the huge man was already in tears.
He wiped away his tears before he said, "My lord, when it comes to this copper and iron, it involves a big secret in Xiazhou."
Since the villain has thrown himself into the door of the adult, he will say it to the adult.
My lord, originally the copper and iron on my grassland were purchased from the Khitan and the Central Plains, and every time Xiazhou sent envoys to the Khitan and the Great Song Dynasty, they often bought a large amount of copper and iron, and carried them back with the envoys' chariots and horses, because they were envoys, and they would not be inspected along the way, so it was very safe to go back and forth.
In addition, under the heavy profits, there are also Khitan and the Central Plains people privately sell copper and iron, but the quantity is limited after all, the Qiang people in the northwest are brave and good at fighting, but they blindly call the lord of the Central Plains, and the copper and iron things are clamped down, which is also a major reason.
And Xiazhou Xiazhou Li Jiedu, deeply resentful of this, as early as more than ten years ago, he sent people to start looking for iron ore in the territory, and after more than ten years, they really found it. ” Yang Hao was moved when he heard this, Xixia has always been ambitious, he has known this for a long time, even if the Li family of Xiazhou did not establish a country and claim the king, he was also the uncrowned king in the realm of Western Xia.
Moreover, the Li clan of Xiazhou has always enjoyed this feeling of being called a minister and a king, until the Great Song Dynasty successively cut down the two feudal domains of the Zhe clan and the Yang clan and began to attack Xiazhou, they simply pulled the flag and rebelled.
But before that, Xiazhou was not loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, they always wanted to turn the Western Xia region into their own independent kingdom, to achieve this goal, they must get rid of the clamp of the Great Song Dynasty, steel, is undoubtedly one of the most important strategic materials, I can't imagine that the Western Xia Li family has begun to plot from now on.

Yang Hao asked anxiously: "Where has the iron ore been discovered by the Dingyan Army?"
Li Xing replied: "Li Guangrui has discovered a total of two iron mines, one of which is in the mountains outside the east of Xiazhou City, and the other is in the Chashan area in the east of Hengshan. ” Yang Hao said in his heart: "The east of Xiazhou City is right under their noses, of course they will use local materials."
It is a good idea that there is iron ore in the tea mountain in the east of Hengshan, compared to Xiazhou, my Luling is much closer to the tea mountain, and it is the territory of the Dangxiang Seven clan, I am short of steel here, how to think of a way to go there to mine, this is much more economical than buying iron.
It's just that such a big move can't hide from the Seventh Clan, do you want to share this news with them?"
Li Xing saw him pondering, so he stopped talking, Yang Hao woke up, and hurriedly said, "You continue to speak." ” Li Xing said: "Yes, Li Guangrui now has a large amount of steel, but it is kept secret to the outside world, and even most of the people under the rule of Xia Zhou do not know.
Although my family is now a blacksmith, my father was a general in the Dingyan army back then, and now there are still some robes in the army as generals, so I will know.
In the past, it was not easy for Xiazhou to buy iron tools from the Central Plains or Khitan, and the quantity was limited, but now Li Guangrui has his own iron ore, so he wants to cast a large number of weapons, when it comes to building weapons, my Lingzhou Li family is the best, not to mention that the long sword built by my family is extremely sharp, and the range of the bow and arrow made is far more than the average bow and arrow, which is the gun, axe, knife and other weapons made by my family, which are much better than others.
The armor made by my family is second only to the bow and arrow and the sword, and the armor is all cold-forged, tight and shiny, and can be entered by non-strong crossbows.
In the past, Xiazhou purchased limited steel, and casually distributed it to a few blacksmith shops, but now they hid the news of the discovery of iron ore and recruited a large number of blacksmiths to become military craftsmen, but the forging skills of this military craftsman are long and short, and the weapons created are uneven, so Li Guangrui started my family's idea. ” Speaking of this, Li Xing already felt thirsty, picked up the teacup and drank the tea, Yang Hao hurriedly continued for him, and listened to him intently.
Li Xing said again: "At the beginning, my father refused to go, because I was unwilling to be just a blacksmith" He touched the scar on his face and said, "This was all caused by the spark splash when he was wrought iron, and I am not willing to let my son run this business for the rest of his life, so I begged my father to agree."
Alas, who would have thought that Li Guangrui was very narrow-minded, in the past, when my father was a general in the Dingyan army, he angered Li Yiyin, and was almost beheaded by his marching order, and he was begged for mercy in the army, which deprived my family of cattle, sheep and horses, clan slaves, and was reduced to civilians.
Now his son Lee Kuan Rui wants to use my family, but he refuses to believe us, and he is ostensibly courteous to my father, but when my father has taught a large number of apprentices, and it is no longer useful, he will have people come and kill my family. ” Speaking of this, his hands trembled slightly, and he said for a while: "Fortunately, there are my father's former friends among the generals in the army, and they secretly reported the news to my family, and my family fled in panic, but they chased and killed them all the way, but only escaped from my family of three."
Speaking of this, he sneered slightly, and said hatefully: "Fortunately, then Li Guangrui started earlier, my bow has just been developed, and it has not been presented to him, otherwise, I will really die blindly." ” Yang Hao listened to it and believed even more that this person was indeed a skilled craftsman who made ordnance, and he was overjoyed.
This is really if you want to doze off, someone will send a pillow, with this person, in the future, the weapons of Luling Valley will be landed, from now on, the weapons of Luling Prefecture are not only superior to Zhuqiang, but also to save a lot of money by building themselves, this Li Xing should be reused, well, wait for his strong bow to be made, if there is really the miraculous effect he said, his name should be added to the list of officials who asked the court to seal Zhuqiang, and give him an official, not afraid that he will not serve the Song people Yang Hao only felt that this person was a master of building weapons, but he didn't know that the two major killing weapons of Western Xia, the world-shattering Divine Arm Bow and Xia Ren Sword, came from the hands of this person in front of him.
Among them, the divine arm bow is the son of the person in front of him, Li Hongxian and the Great Song Dynasty, and has since become the most headache of the Great Song Dynasty in the Northern Barbarians.
Now, due to his unexpected appearance, history has changed slightly, and he appeared in Luling Prefecture in advance.
On the side, Li Guangcen looked Li Xing up and down, his expression changed, and he asked slowly: "Li Xing, what is your father's name?"
Li Xing knew that this person was also a big official, so he replied respectfully: "My father Li Guangji" Li Guangcen's expression moved slightly, and he said: "So, why did Ling Zun be deprived of his family property by Li Guangrui and demoted to a commoner?"
Li Xing said gloomily: "Back then, Li Yi died of illness, and he should have been succeeded by the villain's brother, Lord Li Guangcen.
However, after the three armies stayed, Li Guangrui bought a lot of money from the powerful people in the clan and established himself as the lord of Xiazhou, and my father was quite angry at his usurpation and self-reliance.
Subsequently, Lord Li Yimin, the assassin of Suizhou, accused him of usurping disloyalty and sending troops to fight, and after the defeat and capture, he did not remember the brotherly love, and actually wanted to kill Lord Li Yimin.
My father pleaded for Lord Li Yimin, and there was a lot of confrontation with him between words, if it wasn't for the intercession of the generals in the army, my whole family would have gone with Lord Li Yimin at that time. ” Hearing this, Li Guangcen's expression finally became excited, he slowly stood up, and suddenly said a few words in Qiang, Li Xing looked at him in amazement, and also replied a few words in Qiang.
Yang Hao held his head on the side, listening to the chatter and grunt of the two, with a blank expression: "I usually speak Mandarin, how can I recognize that I have to speak dialects, so that I can't understand a word."
If it weren't for Yang Hao's categorical use of troops against the Qiang people, and there was no possibility of cooperating with Li Guangrui, the nominal co-owner of the Qiang people, Li Xing would not have dared to confess his identity to him and sacrifice the weapons he made.
If it weren't for Yang Hao's fair treatment of the Qiang people and the categorical execution of Hua Wuyue, Li Xing would not have been willing to sacrifice the weapons he made.
Now that he has dedicated his weapon to Yang Hao, he has been able to recognize his brother Li Guangcen, which is another unexpected joy.
Although the two have never met, Li Xing's father is loyal to Li Yin, Li Guangcen's father, and Li Xing ended up like this, and he has a common hatred with Li Guangrui in Xiazhou, and he shares the same hatred with Li Guangcen.
Yang Hao listened to the chatter for a long time, and then turned into the young master in Li Xing's mouth, and Li Xing naturally became Yang Hao's uncle.
Especially when Yang Hao told him that he wanted to ask for an official position in the imperial court for him, Li Xing was even more happy.
The three talked for a long time, and Li Xing was worried that his wife and children were worried at home, so he said goodbye and left.
Li Guangcen's public identity is now surnamed Mu, but it is inconvenient to openly kiss him, and at this time, I also made it clear to him that Li Xing only concealed his identity and hid here, just to deal with Li Guangrui in Xiazhou, so he naturally agreed again and again and never divulged it.
After sending Li Xing out, Li Guangcen said: "Hao'er, I didn't expect that my brother is a weapon master, this is heaven to help you, now we can build a tower to buy some steel in the name of him to build weapons, as for the Chashan iron mine, because it is on the territory of the Seven Clans, it can only be mined after discussing with the Seven Clans." ” Yang Hao said happily: "What my father-in-law said is that when Li Xing creates this divine bow, with the pattern, I will also present a copy of Kaifeng, and I will be even more able to get this divine soldier in the Great Song Dynasty." ” Li Guangcen was slightly stunned, groaned slightly, and said slowly: "Hao'er's thinking is inappropriate, this bow can't be known to the imperial court for the time being." ” Yang Hao was stunned and said in surprise: "Why is this?"
Li Guangcen said: "Because strange goods can live."
Once this bow is presented to the imperial court, the imperial court must be worried that this bow will spread to the hands of the Yang clan and the Fuzhou Zhe clan in Linzhou, and it will inevitably ban the use of my Luling Prefecture.
Don't forget, Li Jiyun was humiliated by you and returned to Xiazhou angrily.
Now I don't know if he will come to embarrass us, the soldiers of Xiazhou are not comparable to those villages you exterminated, with the power of the seven clans of the party, with the courage of the generals of Fuzhou, they must bow down in front of Xiazhou, and they can't be underestimated. ” "This" Yang Hao couldn't help but hesitate.
Li Guangcen hurriedly persuaded again: "Besides, now everyone can see that the Great Song Dynasty officials conquered the world and decided to set a policy of first the south and then the north.
There is abundant rain in the south, the air is humid, and there are not many places to use arrows, and the imperial court does not need this sharp weapon for a while, but this is not the case in my Luling Prefecture.
Hao'er, from your point of view, ruthlessly slaughtering Hengshan Qiang Village regardless of the old and young, and using it to solve the long-term troubles of the people of Luling by killing and stopping killing is Daren; In the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty officials, it is better to sacrifice these tens of thousands of people in order to weaken the combat power of the northwest feudal domains, so as to weaken the resistance to annexing the northwest in the future.
Sacrifice these tens of thousands of people who are grateful to you and worship them like your parents, and even you, your parents and officials, have to be sacrificed, are you willing?"
Of course, if you are not reconciled, people will not be for yourself, and heaven and earth will be destroyed.
As the saying goes, if you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone.
Yang Hao was not so great that he sacrificed himself without blinking an eye for the Zhao family of the Great Song Dynasty, and he couldn't bear to push these people who were attached to him to death.
He nodded silently and said, "Let's discuss this matter later." ” Li Guangcen smiled and said: "That's right, you must know that you are not alone now, your every move, word and deed, is implicated in tens of thousands of lives, think twice about everything, plan and then act." ” Yang Hao bowed his head and said: "Well, this matter will be put aside for the time being, but Xiazhou has found iron ore and is secretly mining, and I have to play the matter of privately casting weapons with the imperial court immediately." ” Li Guangcen nodded, then shook his head slightly, and said: "It should be said, but the imperial court knows what the current situation can be, even if the two feudal lords refuse to go to Beijing to take office, the imperial court can only pretend to be deaf and dumb."
Xiazhou recruited soldiers and horses, raised grain and grass by itself, and was named Song Chen, who was actually the lord of Xia, so why did the court get them?"

Yang Hao said: "Not in his position, not in his politics, I only take care of the acre and three points of land in Luling Prefecture, and let the officials and Zhao Xianggong deal with those things." ” As soon as he said this, Bisu shook into the courtyard, looked into the house, and Yang Hao raised his voice and asked, "What's the matter?"
Bisu frowned and replied, "My lord, Miss Tang has brought you ginseng soup." ” As soon as Bisu's voice fell, Tang Yanyan appeared at the gate of the courtyard surrounded by falling flowers.
The small courtyard is deep, the trees are bleak, the people at the gate of the courtyard wear a small hat with gold brocade, a small sleeved shirt, a narrow blue Xiangbo skirt, a pair of hollow soft brocade boots, a waist decorated with a peach-leaf-shaped small gold ornament belt, narrow and thin clothes, set off her slenderness, waist is like a plain, elegant posture, can be into the painting.
Yang Hao didn't pay attention to the faint sadness in her eyes and the loneliness that was very different from the lively expression in the past, but as soon as he saw her coming, the huge head felt a faint pain again:
