Chapter 408 Pig teammates
Everything is easy to say, there is only one thing, you must not be trapped in Luoyang's city walls. Sima Ji is not Sima Yun. He has never served in the capital, so naturally he has no foundation among the Central Imperial Guards. Therefore, similar to the King of Huainan and King Zhao, the Imperial Guards hesitated and refused to move forward.
If Sima Ji was trapped in the capital and could not get out, the situation he faced was much worse than Sima Yun. After Sima Yun's death, all the central imperial guards had been under the command of Sima Lun. Although Sima Yi and Sima Ji had become enemies in history, Sima Yi eventually won the most with few, but he was not ready to replicate this result.
If you can steal, you can steal it. If you can't steal it, you're robbing it. As long as you can leave Luoyang, what is the Prime Minister, the Secretariat, who will regard the imperial edict as a great existence after the death of King Huainan? At worst, you will meet on the battlefield. As long as not all the vassal kings send troops to beat him up, Sima Ji will not be afraid of anyone.
At the same time, Sima Ji had sent a memorial and wrote a letter to Sun Xiu, saying that he would definitely participate in the important matter of the emperor's empire, and had prepared generous gifts. Sima Ji was whispering and wrote against his will to congratulate the Emperor's marriage with the royal family, and would also participate in the wedding of the son.
There was no way, Sima Ji didn't even dare to write to his niece to explain. He didn't know the situation in the palace. If someone intercepted him, he would plunge into Luoyang foolishly and might never come out again. This is the time to test trust. If his niece could trust this uncle, Sima Ji would naturally take action.
Luo Yong selected 500 people from the Jin Guards. Even Sima Yun knew that Sima Ji, who raised a group of dead soldiers, would soon turn the Yan Prince's Mansion into a military fortress? Why didn't Sima Ji not? It was said that the world was peaceful, and did not have wars in Guanzhong? There were several major floods in the Central Plains, and people were not a problem. Adhering to the tradition of the Sima family, the Yan King would of course select carefully from them and incorporate these homeless and poor people into the Jin Guards.
However, this group of people is not responsible for conveying intelligence, but for fighting. The SS, the armed SS, the KGB, and the Derrensky Division have a series of combat units. An intelligence unit that cannot fight is born to be lame.
Then these Jin guards wore the half-boobed plaques that Yan Yan had sent, and Yan ordered to wear them under any circumstances when he was sleeping recently. Yan Yan had already begun to look for soldiers who knew Xianbei, and drew these soldiers to disguise themselves as Xianbei people, and followed Sima Ji to participate in the ceremony of the Empress. As for the Jurchens and Fuyu, Zhang Da and Li Shan were naturally screened.
These forces are likely to not be able to enter the capital during the Hou Ceremony, and Sima Ji did not expect them to be able to enter. He just needed to wait for the support outside the city. The problem was still that he left the city.
The four Xianbei and Jurchens and Fuyu, if they were calculated as a delegation of 500 people, they could gather about 3,000 people. Together with the 500 Jin Guards around Sima Ji, if they were not trapped by the city walls and fighting in the wild, they could be able to fly high and birds. The largest ace in Liu Xiu's hands was only 20,000 to 30,000 people, and Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry must have been only 10,000.
Since finding the Beiping County Iron Mine, he has been working overtime for so many years. Although Sima Ji adhered to the concept that war would definitely kill people and did not require full-body protection, he cut corners, but now the number of breastplates made has been quite large. Ten thousand sets have long exceeded, and five hundred half-body breastplates are not a big number.
"Even if Your Highness asks these Jin Guards to commit suicide immediately, I believe they will execute it immediately. When they are about to starve to death, Your Highness lets them survive, and their lives will naturally belong to Your Highness." Luo Yong took Sima Ji into Yanshan and saw the selected Jin Guards' dead soldiers.
"Suicide is a waste of my efforts over the years. I will not do anything that only pays no return." Sima Ji walked forward with his hands behind his back and looked at the dead soldiers of Jin Guard one by one, thinking about who is stronger than the dead soldiers of Huainan King?
But one thing is certain. My weapons and armor are definitely better than those of the King of Huainan. They embodies the skills of Persian craftsmen and my local Jin Dynasty. I dare not say that they are all Damascus steel knives and medieval iron cans that are invulnerable to swords and guns, but they are definitely not something that ordinary troops can use.
"Do you know what you need with such super protective armor?" Sima Ji looked around and was quite satisfied. He turned around and asked Luo Yong, who was confused, and said to himself, "It's just the Jurchen heavy arrow."
The power of Jurchen heavy arrows is above the Central Plains bows and arrows. If an army has the breastplate worn by the Jin Guards now and solves their own protective power problem, then you have to think about how to kill the enemy. This mere range gap is to run two more steps without the risk of life.
Faced with this situation, the Ming army had the most say. The power and range of the three-eyed guns in the Ming army were all below the Jurchen heavy bow. This is understandable, and the most unbearable thing is that the quality and quantity of the firearms made by the Ming army were beaten by the Qing army, and cold weapons and hot weapons were all at a disadvantage, which was a big fuck.
"In fact, if you do full-body armor, your highness's idea will be easier to realize." Luo Yong was the first time he saw this kind of half-body armor, and he didn't know that he had discussed this issue when he was created before.
Sima Ji glanced at Luo Yong, reached out to slap Luo Yong's butt, making Luo Yong's lower body remain unmoved, and leaned forward with his butt, and his upper body looked very funny, and then said, "The Jurchen's desire for heavy bows for heavy arrows is endless, so this is the posture when shooting archery. If you wear armor all over your body, your butt will not be sticking out."
The Jurchen heavy bow pursues lethality, and it is naturally different from the bows and arrows flying kites on the grassland. Moreover, because the range is relatively close, it is best to be equipped with a mount that can draw a closer range. The mounts should also have certain protection. This is why armed forces in Liaodong and even Northeast regions always try to ride a heavy infantry. Mounts are just their transportation tools. If there is enough time, these armed forces from Northeast China will definitely dismount in the horse and fight in the field, because any bow and arrow used on horseback are not as good as those of infantry bows. The Jurchen heavy bow itself has a shorter range, so naturally they have to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
"Look at this arrow again. Is it very blunt?" Sima Ji took out the arrow used by the heavy bow. The arrow was very blunt, even worse than the crescent shovel arrow used by the Jurchens himself. The whole is cylindrical, but the arrow is Mitsubishi, and was jointly created by Persian craftsmen and I Dajin.
It can be said that there are only two disadvantages of cold weapons at present, that is, they must be recycled when shot, otherwise Sima Ji will not be able to afford the cost of creating arrows. The second is that the arrow shaft is likely to break after hitting.
"Your Highness has such research on military weapons. My subordinates admire him." Luo Yong pinched the arrow that Sima Ji took out and sighed, "Does the Jurchens use this kind of arrow?"
"That's not the case. Not just the arrows, but the weapons they use are quite heavy, which seems to be traditional." Sima Ji recalled the Jurchen weapons brought back by Zhang Dalishan, and the weight in his hands was extraordinary. What axe, hammer, and mace, it seems that he really wants to be with the tiger and black bear.
In general, Sima Ji was quite satisfied, so he took this group of people south. As soon as he returned to the palace, he received a report that the four Xianbei tribes had agreed to go to Luoyang to pay tribute. Before that, of course, they would attend the wedding of the King of Yan first. As for the Fuyu and the Jurchens who were farther away, there was no reply, but it must be a big problem. Sima Ji still believed in the ability of the two of them as they watched the guard leader who grew up.
A month before the Emperor's Enthronement Ceremony, Sima Ji married seven wives in Jicheng, plus Yang Xin, Hamoni and Qiaoxi. This time, they held a wedding together, which was very unreasonable in the eyes of some literati. They had never seen seven wives at one time, but as usual, the words of literati were similar to farting in Sima Ji's eyes.
Yang Xin's two brothers also returned to Jicheng from Luoyang and ended their life of eating and waiting for death in Luoyang. They were shocked as soon as they returned to Jicheng. The two had been away from Jicheng for a long time, but they did not expect such a big change in Jicheng again. He was even more shocked to hear that his brother-in-law married seven wives this time.
Just as the King of Yan was getting dressed and arranged the route of the tribute mission, the two came to the Prince of Yan's Mansion and met their little sister Yang Xin, "Little sister, hasn't the King of Yan established you as the official wife yet? If it was Empress Jia who was still here before and Sima Ji dared not, there was no such problem now. You must work hard, little sister."
As Yang Cheng spoke, Yang Huliu immediately responded, "Brother is right. These Xianbei children are all supported by a leader. We two brothers are also afraid that you will suffer losses. Don't be angry with these Hu Ji in the future."
"For the sake of the present, we can only find a way to make us both official. We are both your brothers. Can we still harm you? The whole world is unstable now. Sima Ji is in Jicheng and has the military power of Youzhou Pingzhou in his hands. He has a high position and a powerful position. With us on the side, these Hu Ji will definitely not dare to disrespect his younger sister." Yang Cheng and Yang Hu sang together, and their words were all about power.
"The two brothers are so serious. My sister now has the only male heir to my husband." Yang Xin slowly picked up a cup of tea and said slowly, "The two brothers saw this wedding. My husband has not forgotten the girl. He can never make up for this wedding."
