My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

After staying with the Su sisters in the north courtyard for a while, Cui Yingying also came over after hearing the news. When she saw Su More'er, she felt as if she had met her own sister. Jia Chang threw Li Yin aside.

Li Yin felt bored and left the North Campus. On the way, he began to think about the army. He understood the reason why power comes out of the barrel of a gun, but now the world is peaceful and the people feel at ease. Li Shimin treated him well. If you don't die, you won't die, and even if he pulls up the banner and arms the army, it's uncertain who these people's guns will be aimed at, so Li Yin's current strategy is to hold Li Shimin's thigh tightly, in other words, it sounds nice The most important thing is to coerce the emperor to make the princes. In this way, everything he does is justified, especially when Li Shimin handed over the land of Shu to him. In addition to paying taxes to the court, he is basically no different from a vassal king. up.

But no one has a long way to go, so Li Yin has to plan ahead. The next thing he has to do is to control the army in case of emergency. One is to guard against aliens, and the other is to guard against the imperial court.

People's hearts are the most unpredictable. If one day Li Shimin can't stand the pressure of the gentry, or if there are other accidents and he is forced to fight against him, he will have to fight to the death at that time. After all, this is politics, and politics It never makes sense.

Speaking of the armed forces, Li Yin has not given up on the design and production of cold weapons other than the development of flintlock guns. For example, Taoyuan is now making swords made of fine steel and alloy armor mixed with other metals. It can also reduce the weight of the armor while increasing the strength.

Although the flintlock is a long-range weapon, it is still very weak in the face of cavalry charges. After all, the tactic of cavalry attacking infantry has always been very effective during World War II. It is not high, and it is not even as good as a projectile longbow when dealing with cavalry, but the advantage of flintlock guns is that they are easy to train into an army, while archers need huge arm strength, and no good bow and arrow troops can be trained in a few years. In war, soldiers are consumables, which is why the actual combat effect of bows and arrows is greater than that of flintlock guns. After the production of flintlock guns, bows and arrows were completely eliminated.

However, this made Li Yin think of a weapon that neutralizes the advantages of both—the compound bow.

This kind of modern bow and arrow can be easily pulled apart by using a pulley, and its power is not bad. It can be said that it is not a little bit stronger than the bow and arrow of the Tang Dynasty. The developed flintlock guns and later more advanced guns should not be exposed to the world so quickly. It is also a priority to train in Taoyuan to form an army and cultivate a group of people who can use guns.

In addition to the compound bow, Li Yin also thought of the crossbow as a cold weapon. The range of the crossbow is not as good as that of the compound bow, but its advantage is that it is powerful within the same distance and kills silently. It is really a weapon for special operations.

For these two weapons, the design drawings are already in Taoyuan, and the blacksmiths are studying them. What Li Yin needs to do is to purchase a batch of pulleys and bowstring materials. Even if they are copied, the power will definitely not be as good as the original ones.

Of course, Li Yin did not give up the flintlock. Not only will he not give up, but he will also strengthen the range and power of the flintlock. After all, if a large-scale war really breaks out, he still has to rely on it to quickly arm the army.

Su Morer and Tong Nian returned to Yizhou, and Li Min bought a house for each of them. That night, Su Morer took Su Xiaoyan into his house, and Cui Yingying specially assigned a group of maidservants to Su Morer. , Take care of the daily life of the two.

The affairs of the two were properly arranged, and Li Yin focused on Taoyuan. The next day, he went to Taoyuan with Jin Daqian and asked Cui Yingying to stay there for a few days. The sooner these things can reach the production conditions, the better.

Li Yin will be in Taoyuan for a few days, Tong Yu is of course happy, but it is too late, so some doubts in the research can be answered at any time.

Arriving in Taoyuan, Li Yin told him that Tong Nian was here, and the boy just said "hmm" and continued to discuss the cannon with Li Yin. If Tong Nian found out about this, he wondered if he would slap the boy a few times.

After being entangled by Tong Yu for a while, Li Yin went to the blacksmith shop. The head of the blacksmith shop was Ou Yewang, who claimed to be a descendant of Ou Yezi. Li Yin was dubious about this. There are too many people pretending to be descendants of famous families in this era, but this Ou Yewang blacksmith Technology is also good.

"How's it going? Has the tire of the compound bow been made yet?" The heat wave in the blacksmith's shop was overwhelming, and the blacksmiths were all topless, knocking and knocking inside, making it very noisy.

Li Yin yelled a few times before Ou Yewang heard it. He and Li Yin walked out of the blacksmith shop. It was too noisy to hear anything.

"Return to Your Highness, I made it a few days ago!" Ou Yewang bowed, and after finishing speaking, he went back to the house, and when he came out, he held a black bow in his hand. This bow was about one meter long, very simple , does not have the shrewd shape of modern compound bows, and Li Yin does not pursue this, as long as it is practical.

The production process of the bow tire is not complicated. Li Yin nodded to express his satisfaction, and went to look at other cold weapons. Now there are many manufactured weapons in the room, including swords and armor.

Li Yin walked over and picked up a one-meter-long fine steel sword and said to the guard behind him, "Take this sword and try to fight with him." He pointed to another guard.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The nurse was a little excited. After being a soldier for so long, he can naturally tell the quality of a weapon. The sword Li Yin handed him is not ordinary.

The weapons in the blacksmith shop started to be made after the research institute moved to Taoyuan, so they have not been used by anyone until now, so the swords of the guards are all old weapons.

The guard received the steel sword, and the other guard pulled out his own sword, with the blade facing up and laying flat in front of him.

"Boom..." There was a sound of metal strikes, and Guyuan, who was holding the steel sword, slashed down hard, and then took a step back after being shocked by the force.

Li Yin walked over, and the two faced Li Yin with their swords in their hands. The scene that Li Yin was looking forward to cutting off with one sword did not appear. The two swords collided, and there were only slight white marks on the blade of the fine steel sword, but Another sword made of old steel was cut with a gap of one and a half centimeters.

The quality of the two swords can be judged immediately, Li Yin said: "You will distribute these swords to the nurses later, remember to register them in the register, whoever loses the weapon will be punished, you know?"

"Yes, Your Highness!" The two said excitedly. These fine steel swords are precious swords to them. They all rely on swords for food. Can you be unhappy!

Li Yin asked them to register and make a register to prevent the loss of weapons. In the future, he will set up a special weapon depot in the barracks, and he will be responsible for recording the use of weapons on weekdays, so that it will be clear at a glance who lost the weapon, and it will be easier to track.
