Chapter 46 Coincidence
Emperor Taikang has been preparing for the Northern Expedition for more than three years. Today, this "project" has finally begun to work.
The next day, the military weapon supervisor delivered all 20,000 pairs of armor, arrows, long swords, etc. customized by the Ministry of War.
To be precise, it was handed over to the Yulin Guard Right Camp, led by Xie Dai. The Yulin Guard Right Camp was counted one by one, loaded a total of twenty or thirty large trucks, and then drove to the gate of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.
There is no way. Since these things have been delivered, they should have been sent to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War will be responsible for delivering them to the local army. However, this matter has been skipped from beginning to end, so these things can only be sent to the Marquis of Jing'an.
Even though Li Xin's house was big enough, these big carts could not be allowed to enter the house. Li Xin ordered them to park the cart on the street behind the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion, and then he and Zhao Jia went to inspect and collect the batch of weapons in person.
The sword armor was 20,000 sets, and they were neatly marked in carriages.
These things are not simple armor and long swords. In fact, everything in it is a forbidden item that the court explicitly prohibits. Ordinary people only need to keep it privately, at the least they can be jailed, and at the worst they must be exiled.
Because a set of sword armor can represent a combat power. Any ordinary person who wears this armor and then lifts a long sword will become a terrifying god of killing when he walks into the crowd. If he slashes a few times at will, he will be a life.
The Great Jin Dynasty could not help but have swords. Many people wore swords, but few people wore swords. Even if there were, most of them had court relations.
Li Xin took out a long knife from a big cart and pulled out the scabbard, and saw the snow-white blade and the cold blade.
In order to prevent rust, a layer of oil was applied to the knife.
Marquis Jing'an knocked with his hand, and the long sword in his hand was thrustling. He smiled at Zhao Jia behind him and said, "This military weapon surveillance thing is really good. The folk sword weapon was slashed hard by this knife, and even if it keeps hurt."
Zhao Jia was still dressed in white. He took the long knife from Li Xin, then looked for a tree on the side of the road and cut it down hard.
The long sword was half a foot into the wood, and almost all the blades were infiltrated. Zhao Jia pulled the sword out of the tree with difficulty, nodded and smiled at Li Xin, "It's not bad, it's much better than the weapons in Hanzhou Prefecture."
Marquis Jing'an looked at Zhao Jia with a bad expression and said quietly: "Brother You'an, this is the door of my back door."
Zhao Jia was stunned for a moment, then said, "I know."
"So you cut down the tree just now..."
"It's my family."
Zhao Jia glanced at the unlucky tree and said with a smile: "It's so stingy. I'll go to the street to buy some saplings tomorrow and plant ten for you."
While the two were joking, Xie Dai, dressed in black in Yulin Guard, appeared in front of Li Xin. He respectfully said: "Li Shangshu, the 20,000 sets of sword armor, 50,000 arrows required by the Ministry of War have been delivered. The military weapon supervisor has been delivered. The lower official and the brothers of Yulin Guard have been counted. Please check it out."
Li Xin nodded at Xie Dai with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Xie Lang."
Xie Dai's face changed slightly, and he bowed respectfully: "The officials dare not."
"If Marquis Li had nothing else to do, the lower officials and the brothers of Yulin Guard would say goodbye first."
Li Xin smiled and looked at the cousin of Queen Xie, and smiled and said, "Why does General Xie Lang seem to be a little afraid of me?"
Nonsense, you took our Yulin Guard to chop someone up without saying a word last time. It seems that he is someone his Majesty knows. How can I not be afraid of you?
Mr. Xie complained in his heart.
After the last incident, he was no longer going to hug Li Xin's thigh. His only idea at this time was to... Stay away from him.
"The officials dare not, but they have been working for the Ministry of War these days. There should be a lot of things accumulated in the right camp of Yulin Guard waiting for the officials to go back to deal with..."
Li Xin said lightly: "You Yulin Guard Right Camp has been temporarily lent to me. You have to escort these things to Yunzhou City, and you can't escape."
"You should wait here first. After this marquis goes to the palace and determines the candidate for the northbound journey, you can set off."
Although Li Xin has not worked in Yulinwei for a long time, he still feels very relaxed in controlling Yulinwei. Not to mention anything else, the current Yulinwei general has to respectfully call Li Xin to call him uncle when he sees Li Xin.
Xie Dai looked around and finally lowered his head helplessly and said, "Sir... obey the order."
Li Xin and Zhao Jia looked through the things handed over by the military weapon supervisor. After confirming that there was no problem with the quality, Li Xin went back to the mansion to change into court clothes, then sat in Chen Shiliu's carriage and went all the way into the palace.
Since the new dynasty, it has never been difficult for Li Xin to see the emperor in eight years. Not long after he entered the palace, he was taken to the gate of Weiyang Palace by a young eunuch. Soon, under Xiao Zheng, he arrived at the side hall of Weiyang Palace and met Emperor Taikang who was reading a book.
Li Xin saluted respectfully to the emperor.
"My minister Li Xin, I have met Your Majesty."
The emperor then put down the book in his hand and smiled at Li Xin: "It's Chang'an coming."
"Xiao Zheng, bring a chair for Chang'an."
Li Xin shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I will leave after I finish talking about it, and it will not be left for too long."
The emperor sighed and nodded, "You said."
"Your Majesty, the ordnance delivered by the Military Arts Supervisor and the strong wine from the Imperial Liquor Department have been delivered to my residence. Please select the person who transports the ordnance this time as soon as possible and send these things to Yunzhou City as soon as possible."
The emperor smiled and said, "It's going to be so soon. It seems that the military weapon supervision is doing well."
Li Xin nodded and said, "That's good. I looked at the standard long swords in the morning, which were very sharp."
The emperor nodded with a smile and said, "Chang'an, who should I send to?"
There is nothing to be taboo about this question, and Li Xin answered it very simply. He lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I was originally going to send each other to the right camp of the Yulin Guard, so naturally General Xie Lang should do this job, but since Your Majesty is not at ease with General Xie Lang, I have another candidate."
The emperor smiled and said, "I have a choice, so why don't we write it on paper together to see if it's the same person?"
Li Xin hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I obey the order."
Not long after, Xiao Zheng took the pen and handed it to Li Xin. Li Xin was not polite, so he picked up the pen and wrote two words on the note.
The emperor also picked up the pen and wrote two words, and then Xiao Zheng held them in his hand and handed them in the emperor's hands.
The emperor slowly unfolded two notes, and saw two words written on the notes.
Planting the squid...
Not long after the Qianniuwei was formed, the grandson of this Xuantong, who was the Central Army General of Qianniuwei. Later, after Qianniuwei was barely formed, the emperor transferred his brother-in-law Xie Jing into Qianniuwei. Zhongheng was very tactful and took the initiative to resign and gave Qianniuwei to the serious uncle.
Nowadays, Zhong Heng is working in the Imperial City Bingma Situation and is now a general.
This man is the legitimate grandson of the Zhong family. He stayed in Yunzhou City for a while and asked him to go to Yunzhou City to deliver things. It was perfect.
The emperor threw both pieces of paper aside and smiled at Li Xin.
"Since Chang'an has given a candidate, I will follow your report."
"Xiao Zheng, I'll make it for Zhong Heng and let him prepare to go to the north."
Eunuch Xiao bowed his head respectfully.
