Qiu Zhen thought for a while and felt that this was feasible. He nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise, no matter whether we want to launch a second national war against Mo Country, it is necessary to prepare for war. With our current finances, we can fully support it."
."
"Yes!" Tang Yin raised his eyes and said to Xia Yufu, the general manager of the Ordnance Department: "After the court is dismissed, Miss Yufu invites me to my study to discuss matters."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Since Xuanwang lost his arm, Xia Yufu has officially taken over the Ordnance Department of the Feng Kingdom. Her official rank has also been promoted to the second rank, and she is now one of the important senior officials of the Feng Kingdom.
Qiu Zhen can understand why the king is eager to launch a second national war against Mo Country. That is because the bottomless pit of New Mo Country has begun to consume the national power of Feng Country.
He thought for a while, then raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of supporting the New Mo Kingdom's food, grass and military equipment, our country alone may not be enough. Your Majesty needs to send a letter to the Jade Kingdom in time, so that the Jade Kingdom can share the burden."
Tang Yin was startled and asked, "Can Jade State agree?"
Qiu Zhen smiled and said: "Fengyu and Fengyu have formed an alliance. Since they are allies, they should be on the same page. What's more, using New Moguo to hold back Moguo's main army will benefit not only our country, but also Jade Nation. Let's
It’s natural for the country of Jade to contribute money and efforts.”
Shangguan Yuanji nodded his head and continued: "What Prime Minister Qiu said is very true. I also think that the king should send a letter to His Highness the Jade King, asking the Jade Kingdom to cooperate with our country."
The prime ministers on the left and right all said this, and Tang Yin no longer hesitated and said: "Okay! Just as Prime Minister Qiu thinks. Yuanji, write a letter to the Jade King on my behalf."
"As you command!"
Then Tang Yin also asked about the training situation of the new soldiers, and after everyone had nothing to say, he withdrew from the court.
Tang Yin asked Qiu Zhen, Xia Yufu and the generals in the army to stay and go to the study room to discuss which weapons were suitable for actual combat and to prepare for stockpiling before the war.
In the study, Xia Yufu explained the large-scale weapons developed by Jiqiao Villa to everyone in detail one by one according to the sketches. Jiqiao Villa has a knight-errant nature, and most of the things developed by Jiqiao Villa are hidden weapons for single use, and she does not understand the large-scale equipment used by the army.
.
The series of sketches submitted this time were developed by Xia Yufu after special consultation with the generals of each army. They are highly targeted and focused on practicality and simplicity, making them easy to use on the battlefield and not too complicated to manufacture.
Cumbersome.
After everyone's careful consideration, the categories that required mass production were quickly determined. In terms of siege, there are weapons such as arrow towers and rams. In legion battles, there are weapons such as formation vehicles and ram vehicles. Among them, formation vehicles
It is specially designed for the Mo Cavalry. In front of the formation vehicle is an iron plate as high as a person, covered with sharp blades. The entire formation vehicle is extremely heavy and is not suitable for charging into battle, but it is very suitable for defense, especially for resisting.
Cavalry charge.
After deciding on the weapons that needed to be produced, Tang Yin ordered Xia Yufu to immediately have the Ordnance Department start work on large-scale production of these weapons. They would then be escorted by the direct-affiliated army and transported to Baguan, where they would then be transferred to Baguan.
And it was transported to Hetian Town in Dongjiang County, Mobei by the Chifeng Army stationed at Ba Pass.
Hetian Town is located at the junction of Dongjiang County and Zhengzhong County. It is an important transportation thoroughfare. Feng Guo chose this town as a place to store goods after careful consideration. When entering, you can directly enter the southern battlefield of Zhengzhong County. When retreating, you can also retreat to your own side.
The pass is heavily guarded, so whether attacking or retreating, the transfer of supplies is very convenient.
These preliminary preparations are the first step taken by Fengguo in preparing for the second war against Mozambique.
Half a month later, Xiaona returned from Besa to Yancheng, Feng Country, and also brought back a very important message: Besa was willing to provide assistance to Feng Country in the war between Feng Country and Mo Country.
The items of assistance include 50,000 Bessa's unique Pabu horses, 50,000 sets of heavy cavalry armor, and 50,000 Bessa heavy iron guns. Combined, these things can equip the Feng Army with 50,000 pieces of heavy iron.
Mount cavalry.
Of course, Besa's provision of 50,000 heavy cavalry equipment was not without cost. Besa asked Feng State to open the two counties of Ningbei and allowed Besa to follow Feng State's example and set up a long-term garrison in Tia.
Now that the war between Besa and Duki has ended, there is no doubt that the entire territory of Duki has been annexed by Besa. Since Duki has become a part of Besa, the area bordering Ningdi also needs to be opened. Besa hopes
Feng Guoneng implemented preferential tax reduction and exemption policies for Besa merchants in Ningbei County.
Tang Yin could completely accept this. After all, it was a mutually beneficial matter for both parties. However, when it came to asking Besa to set up a garrison in Tia, he rejected it on the spot.
Tia can only become a vassal state of one country. How can it set up two garrisons and become a vassal state of two countries? Not to mention that Tia will not agree, the ministers and people of Feng Kingdom cannot tolerate it.
Seeing Tang Yin's resolute attitude, Xiao Na said seriously: "Husband, the cavalry of the Mo Kingdom is brave and good at fighting. It is not wise to use infantry to fight the cavalry. Once the Feng Kingdom has heavy cavalry, it will be the nemesis of the light cavalry, but on the battlefield
To gain the upper hand and take the initiative in a head-to-head confrontation, a husband must not lose a big thing because of a small thing!"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog. Since you and I are married, you are from Feng Country, and your position should be with Feng Country, not Besa
Over there, when you return to your parents’ home, you should strive for the interests of Feng Country as much as possible, instead of helping your parents share the interests of Feng Country.”
Xiaona shook her head and said: "Husband, in my heart Bessa and Feng Country are both my home, and I stand on a fair and impartial basis. I thought that Feng Country would equip 50,000 heavy cavalry in exchange for being in Tia.
Setting up a garrison does not bring much advantage to Bessa."
Tang Yin doesn't think so. Tia's science and technology in all fields are very advanced. Once Bessa sets up a garrison in Tia, Tia's science and technology will continue to flow into Bessa, and the value of it will not be just five.
Can the equipment of ten thousand heavy-armed cavalry be equivalent? He said with a smile: "I don't need the heavy-armed cavalry provided by Besa, but in Tia, except for the Feng Kingdom, there will never be any garrison from another country."
Unexpectedly, he was so insistent on this issue. Xiaona felt helpless. She rolled her eyes and settled for the next best thing, saying, "If that's the case... then it's okay to let Tia open trade to Bessa, right?"
Tia is a relatively closed country. In the past, it only implemented an appropriate open policy to Ningguo and Duji. Later, the Duji army invaded and the relationship between the two countries was completely broken. Now, the only country open to the outside world in Tia is Fengguo.
Allowing Tia to open trade to Bessa would give Bessa the opportunity to steal Tia's technology and technology, and would directly affect the interests of Feng Country.
Tang Yin still shook his head and said: "Tia is just a small country with a sparse population. If Besa wants to trade, Feng Country can fully support it. Why do you have to make plans for this small country like Tia?"
This won't work, that won't work either. Tang Yin's blocking attitude towards Tia really made Xiaona a little unhappy.
In fact, Tia's science and technology have already begun to flow into Feng Country. If Bessa wants, he can import it from Feng Country, but it depends on Feng Country's face and he has to spend a large amount of gold and silver to buy it from Feng Country.
"Husband, you and I are husband and wife. Now that I'm here to speak to you in person, why don't you give me any face?" Xiaona also understood Tang Yin's temper, which was extremely tough. She immediately softened her attitude, and at the same time showed a pitiful look and said with
Looking at him with sad eyes.
Tang Yin secretly laughed in his heart, how could he not understand what Xiaona had in mind. Thinking about it carefully, with the relationship between Fengguo and Besa, it is really difficult for him to block Tia all the time. It is only a matter of time before Tia opens up to Besa.
Thinking of this, he deliberately showed a troubled expression, frowned, clasped his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in front of Xiaona, as if he was in a dilemma.
Under Xiaona's eager gaze, he thought about it for a while, and then reluctantly said: "Tia can open a city to Besa on the border. This is the limit of what my husband can promise."
"Really?" Xiaona was surprised and happy. She quickly came to Tang Yin, put her hands around his neck, and said with a smile: "If my father knows about this, he will be very happy."
Although only one city on the border is open, it also means that a gap has been opened, and the full opening of Tia will be just around the corner.
Tang Yin was a little startled by Xiaona's enthusiasm, but he quickly adapted to it. He hugged Xiaona's slender waist and said with a smile: "Now that we've finished talking about the messy things, we can talk about serious things now."
"Isn't what we just talked about serious?"
"Of course!" Tang Yin said with a sly smile: "Serious matters between men and women are usually discussed in bed."
Xiaona was stunned for a moment before she understood what he meant. She was as open as she was, and her fair cheeks turned crimson. She was still wearing Besa's traditional dress. The material wrapped her body tightly, but it also highlighted her concave and convex shapes.
A perfect figure.
Looking at the shy Xiaona, Tang Yin's lower abdomen felt warm. He held her in his arms with a little force, walked quickly to the bed, put her down gently, and while kissing her, his hands were not idle.
, struggling with the cumbersome strings on her dress.
After a while, Tang Yin took off her dress, and Xiaona also tore his clothes to pieces. The two of them were exposed to each other on the bed, and the temperature in the room also rose sharply.
Tang Yin and Xiao Na were not an old couple, but they clearly knew every sensitive area on her body.
He teased her with ulterior motives, but he refused to enter her body, causing Xiaona to gasp repeatedly, and her flawless white skin showed a light pink blush.
"Yin..." Xiaona urged him while panting rapidly.
Tang Yin whispered in her ear: "Fifty thousand heavy cavalry are not enough to form a legion, we need more."
"Then... how much does it cost..."
"At least eighty thousand."
"My husband is too... too greedy..."
"Aren't you?" Before she could answer, Tang Yin had already blocked her lips with his own.
