Since the Jingzhou army arrived in the north, they fought three times in a row and were very tired. Now they have turned into a rest period. Lin Chunhong ordered the army to reward the meritorious people according to their merits, and distributed the honor fields for the first time in the Jingzhou army. At the same time, Lin Chunhong also decided to hold a celebration banquet, each with two jars of aged wine!

After hearing this, the soldiers were almost crazy! Ten people and two jars of wine were enough to make most people enjoy it. You should know that there is no food in Shanxi now, and wine is even more scarce. How can ordinary people drink alcohol?

Warriors’ good wine! What’s more, it’s a celebration wine!

Lin Chunhong brought several commanders to the Shenwei Camp. The soldiers shouted wildly, rushing to bring bowls to toast Lin Chunhong!

Lin Chunhong poured a bowl of wine, raised his head high, and shouted: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work! Brothers, I will kill this bowl here, thank you brothers!"

After saying that, he drank all the wine, and shouted: "Brothers! They are all warriors, and they all need a big bowl of wine!"

"Fuck..." The roars of hundreds of warriors were heard together, and the sound shook the sky!

A warrior blushed and staggered forward, shouting: "General, next time you fight, you must arrange for the Shenwei Camp to take the lead. This time you are stationed in Shexian County, your brothers are all feeling uncomfortable!"

Lin Chunhong was overjoyed, patted the warriors on the shoulder, and praised repeatedly: "Okay! Good man! Just have the courage to attack you, are you afraid that there will be no war?"

Another warrior shouted: "General, this time the Hu Xiao Camp and Tianwu Camp have captured more than 4,000 prisoners, and our Shenwei Camp will capture 40,000 next time!"

This made everyone laugh. Wei Yuexiang laughed and scolded: "There are more than a thousand soldiers in the Shenwei Camp, and 40,000 people are arrested. You need to take care of forty ones. How do you plan to take care of them?"

The soldiers of the Shenwei Camp laughed even more violently, while the warriors were speechless, their faces flushed red, and they laughed and couldn't speak.

Lin Chunhong stopped laughing and pointed at the warriors and said, "Little brother, you can catch two at a time, and catch them more than ten or twenty times, won't it be fine?"

The warrior was overjoyed and said, "Yes, I'll catch it many times apart..."

The Jingzhou barracks were noisy, and the sound of drinking envied the bitter kids of the Changping soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, the post-war adjustment of the Jingzhou army began. Lin Chunhong did not have the necessary personnel to assist and was busy every day. Even so, Lin Chunhong did not forget to stare at Zuo Liangyu with his eyes.

Lin Chunhong did not have any confidence in Zuo Liangyu's character. This man's jackal nature would never watch the fat piece of Jingzhou Army swaying in front of him, but he could not bite him.

Zuo Liangyu is now envious of Lin Chunhong's military armor and martial arts, and he has a set of plate armor given by Lin Chunhong, a sabre and a steel crossbow. Zuo Liangyu looked at the plate armor. The total weight of the whole pair of armor was no more than 30 kilograms, which was much lighter than the fish scale armor.

Luo Dai stood in front of Zuo Liangyu and said, "Master General, among the Jingzhou soldiers, there are more than 500 lieutenants of the plate armor. Lin Chunhong fought with the bandits three fierce battles, with less than 1,000 casualties, all relying on the power of this armor!"

Zuo Liangyu nodded, with no color on her face and said, "It's indeed a sharp weapon!"

Luo Dai said angrily: "If our soldiers were wearing this, how could more than half of the casualties in the Battle of Liaozhou?"

When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he immediately turned his head, stared at Luo Dai coldly, and said, "Is it true that more than half of the casualties is due to the disadvantage of the army?"

Luo Dai sweated coldly, his knees softened, and he said, "I know my mistake, and my subordinates rushed to Liaozhou. I didn't expect the bandits to break through suddenly, and they were caught off guard and suffered a great loss!"

Zuo Liangyu shouted: "You are also an old corps. You are so underestimating the enemy. Before you take the enemy, you can wait at least twenty miles away!"

Luo Dai knocked on the ground with his head and said, "My subordinates understand and follow the commander of the general. But the soldiers in Jingzhou are too arrogant and do not listen to their orders. I hope the general will think deeply!"

Zuo Liangyu was silent for a while and said, "Don't worry about this matter, just fight your battle!"

Luo Dai didn't dare to say anything again, and said goodbye to Zuo Liangyu and left.

Zuo Liangyu stared at the plate armor for a long time, picked up the sabre and slashed it a few times, threw it aside, and then plucked the strings of the steel crossbow, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "The outstanding military achievements are all due to the benefits of military armor. What a Lin Chunhong, I will ask for merit for you and for your elite military armor!"...

Therefore, the battle report was filled with the words of Jingzhou's strong armor and the powerful steel crossbow. It was just a matter of the contribution of Lin Chunhong's formation to slash the stars all over the sky and scare Luo Rucai away and chased him for thirty miles. This battle report was rushed to the capital through urgent handing over.

Lin Chunhong also has a copy of this battle report. This is Wang Yi's credit. Wang Yi is quite talented on the hidden front and was taken to the north by Lin Chunhong, preparing to wait for the time to ripe and form the Military Intelligence Department.

Lin Chunhong threw the battle report aside, shook his head and smiled, "I thought Zuo Liangyu had any tricks, but he didn't expect that just using plate armor and steel crossbows to talk about things is really useless!"

In order to prevent those who are interested from using the plate armor and steel crossbows of Jingzhou archers, after Lin Chunhong was appointed as a guerrilla general, he asked Gao Doushu to present the method of manufacturing plate armor and steel crossbows to the court. Gao Doushu naturally responded to this requirement. If the plate armor and steel crossbows could be appreciated by Chongzhen, the credit would naturally be given to Gao Doushu.

Samples of plate armor and steel crossbow have been sent to the Forbidden City. No matter how much Zuo Liangyu makes a futile job, it will be useless.

The back garden of the Forbidden City Palace.

Zhu Youjian was very few to the palace and the palace. When he heard that the emperor was coming, concubines came out to take over from the empress, so the cry for the long live of my emperor came one after another. Zhu Youjian was too lazy to see these concubines, so he walked straight to the martial arts field. Behind him was Cao Huachun and several small eunuchs, two of whom were carrying a pair of armor and steel crossbows, which were the plate armor and steel crossbows offered by Lin Chunhong.

It was just a pair of armor and steel crossbow, with a total weight of no more than 30 kilograms. A small eunuch could take it away, but the two small eunuchs walked out of breath with their armor: Zhu Youjian walked too fast! Zhu Youjian was so arrogant that he thought of something and wanted to finish it immediately.

Before, Lu Xiangsheng talked about the advantages of steel crossbows, and now Gao Doushu praised the strength of the plate armor, which made Zhu Youjian feel itchy. This child is also miserable in fortune telling. Since he ascended the throne, he has heard all the bad news every day. Now that he has a powerful weapon in military and national affairs, he can't help but want to try it.

Cao Huachun was a little older at the end and was very difficult to trot all the way. He kept saying intermittently: "Your Majesty..., the young... I can't shoot crossbows. Do you need to call a few Jinyiwei who are proficient in shooting skills?"

Zhu Youjian didn't look back and waved impatiently: "Go, go and call a few Jinyiwei!"

Cao Huachun immediately stopped, waited for his breath to breathe, and called a little eunuch to give a few instructions.

Soon, Commander Luo Yangxing personally led two Jinyiwei to the palace backyard and stood respectfully beside Zhu Youjian.

When Zhu Youjian saw the two Jinyiwei put the plate armor on the wooden man, he immediately ordered: "Luo Yangxing, try chopping the plate armor with your embroidered lip knife?"

Luo Yangxing replied "yes", walked to the wooden man, raised the embroidered lipstick high, and used all his strength to chop the chest of the plate armor. With a clang, sparks splashed everywhere, and the harsh metal hitting made everyone present sour teeth. Luo Yangxing's embroidered lipstick rolled up and became completely waste.

Zhu Youjian stood up quickly and said anxiously: "Take a knife and take a look!"

Luo Yangxing raised the lip embroidered knife with both hands, and the blade was facing him, kneeling to present it to Zhu Youjian. Zhu Youjian took the lip embroidered knife, looked carefully, and touched the curling hole of the knife with his hand. Cao Huachun was so nervous that he shouted: "Prince, be careful, the blade is sharp!"

Zhu Youjian laughed and said, "No matter how sharp the blade is, it's not like rolling the mouth when it hits the plate armor! I heard that the most commonly used spears on the battlefield are spears. Luo Yangxing, you can stab them with spears!"

Luo Yangxing took a spear from the weapon stand, retreated several feet, sang hard, and stabbed the plate armor. The momentum and strength only scared Zhu Youjian! The spear rod of the spear was bent instantly, but the spear head did not penetrate the plate armor.

Zhu Youjian was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He walked to the wooden man and kept stroking the plate armor. The lip embroidered knife just now only left a faint mark on his chest, and a small hole was hidden in the place where the spearhead was stabbed.

"Hahaha, Gao Doushu and Lin Chunhong actually made such a good thing. Luo Yangxing, try the steel crossbow again, shoot their plate armor with their crossbow to see what will happen!"

Everyone had almost never seen the emperor so happy, walking like a flying man, moving the wooden man in plate armor to a place one hundred and eighty steps away.

In Zhu Youjian's view, the distance of 180 steps was far enough. After all, the wooden man wearing plate armor was almost turning into a point. However, in the eyes of the Jinyiwei holding a crossbow, the wooden man's chest and face were clearly contoured and could be aimed relaxedly.

This Jinyiwei was known as a sharp shooter. In order to show his ability in front of the emperor, he aimed at him for a long time before he let go of the crossbow machine. A sharp sound of breaking through the air came, and the crossbow arrow instantly hit the plate armor in the distance!

Zhu Youjian was only in his twenties and was still childish. He was waiting with anticipation for the eunuch to report whether the crossbow shot through the plate armor or the plate armor blocked the crossbow arrows. Cao Huachun said in a nagging manner: "This crossbow is equipped with a crossbow machine, so the Jinyiwei could only aim for so long just now. If it were an ordinary bow and arrow, how could it take for so long?"

Zhu Youjian nodded, and did not speak. He just stared at the little eunuch running back, and couldn't help but shout, "How is it?"

The little eunuch ran and replied: "Go back to the emperor, the crossbow arrows did not shoot through the plate armor!"

Just like guessing a riddle, Zhu Youjian became more and more interested and shouted loudly: "Move the wooden man to a distance of hundreds of steps!"

The crossbow arrow was shot out, and soon the little eunuch shouted: "The plate armor is a small nest, and the crossbow arrow did not penetrate the plate armor!"

Fifty steps!

Although the plate armor is sunken, it is still not worn!

Thirty steps!

The little eunuch shouted: "The plate armor has been shot through, and the plate armor has been shot through!"

Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing and said, "In ancient times, there was a conflict between Zheng people selling crossbows, but now, there were Chu people offering crossbow armor, hahaha!"

...

When Zhu Youjian returned to the Qianqing Palace, there were endless people asking for an audience. The Forbidden City had never kept any secrets. After the news of Zhu Youjian's good mood spread today, the ministers of course had to meet the emperor quickly.

"Liang Tingdong, Minister of the Ministry of Propaganda, met with him..."

Liang Tingdong had been waiting in the Ganqing Palace for a long time. After hearing this, he sorted out his clothes and then entered the Ganqing Palace.

"Emperor, Shunde Prefecture in the south of the Jinnan, urgently reported that Deng Sheng's general Yang Yu was hiding in his lips!" Liang Tingdong's face was expressionless, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him.

Liang Tingdong lowered his head and waited for Zhu Youjian's thunderous anger, but after waiting for a long time, he found that there was no movement at all. Liang Tingdong, in surprise, looked at him and found that Zhu Youjian was looking at the map!

Liang Tingdong nodded secretly. No wonder Mr. Wen asked me to meet the emperor immediately. It seemed that the emperor was bewitched by the Donglin Party members and was in a good mood.

Can Zhu Youjian not be angry? He tried his best to suppress the urge to scold Liang Tingdong, and took the map to see where Shunde Mansion was. Zhu Youjian was able to suppress his anger, of course, the contribution of the plate armor and steel crossbow was to it.

After watching for a long time, Zhu Youjian waved to Liang Tingdong and said, "Come here, I have a few questions!"

Liang Tingdong moved to Zhu Youjian suspiciously, and saw Zhu Youjian knocking on the Shunde Prefecture and saying, "The report reported that the Zijinliang had set up an ambush and defeated Deng Yan. Since then, have the bandits entered Beizhili on a large scale?"

Liang Tingdong said: "Go back to the emperor, I'm just worried!"

Zhu Youjian asked, "Where is You Shilu?"

Liang Tingdong pointed to Liaozhou and said, "I just defeated the general Li Zicheng and chased him north."

"Where is Cao Wenzhao?"

"We are rushing from Zezhou to She County and join Zuo Liangyu to surround Luo Rucai."

Zhu Youjian pondered: "Lu Xiangsheng blocked Daming Prefecture, and Zijinliang could not go north or east, so he could only go south. Unfortunately, there was no general guarding the south of Shunde Prefecture, otherwise Zijinliang could be surrounded and suppressed!"

Zhu Youjian's words surprised Liang Tingdong and couldn't help but look at Zhu Youjian with admiration. Zhu Youjian is also a smart person, but he is always covered up by anxiety and eagerness on weekdays. He is in a good mood today and can only think about the problem carefully. Besides, there are constant daily battle reports, and Zhu Youjian has gradually seen some tricks.

Liang Tingdong followed Zhu Youjian's words and said, "Why don't you transfer Zuo Liangyu to the north and attack Zijinliang with Lu Xiangsheng?"

Zhu Youxuan sighed and said, "Zuo Liangyu blocked Shexian and could not move easily. Otherwise, what should Luo Rucai do if he flees eastward?"

Liang Tingdong also sighed and said, "The troops are insufficient, and the troops that can be defeated are even less!"

Just when the two didn't know what to do, Cao Huachun suddenly stepped forward and said, "The report of the battle in Ji Nan."

Zhu Youjian quickly took the battle report. After reading it, he couldn't help but stand up excitedly and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Luo Rucai was defeated and fled before Cao Wenzhao arrived in Shexian County, haha!"

Zhu Youjian handed the battle report to Liang Tingdong. After Liang Tingdong read it, he felt uncomfortable and sighed secretly: Master Wen Ge, Master Wen Ge, I have to make a lot of calculations, but I didn’t expect the battle report to come so timely!

Zhu Youjian walked around in front of the imperial throne, and was still muttering there: "It was indeed a magic weapon. Lin Chunhong relied on this three battles and three victories. Liang Tingdong, since Luo Rucai had been defeated, ordered Zuo Liangyu to continue to guard Shexian. He immediately ordered Lin Chunhong to rush from Shexian to Shunde Prefecture to block the bandits' way south!"

Then, Zhu Youjian shouted again: "Hurry up and proclaim Zhou Shipu!"
