"Mom would never have imagined that Your Majesty would equip the child with armor made of fine steel, as well as weapons, and all of them would be replaced..."
Before Ma Xianglin finished speaking, Qin Liangyu interrupted him in surprise: "What, armor made of fine steel? Say it again? My son, when did you learn to make fun of your mother?"
When Ma Xianglin heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Mom, I'm really not joking, how dare you!"
After a pause, he hurriedly waved back, called all the guards who were following him, and then said to Qin Liangyu: "Mom, come and see, they are all wearing it! The armor on the child is inherited from the ancestors, so
It’s not easy to change!”
Upon hearing this, Ma Xianglin's personal guards hurried forward, untied their outer military uniforms and showed off the armor they were wearing underneath.
Qin Liangyu was very surprised. He immediately stepped forward and looked at the armor, which was inconspicuous because of the paint. He tapped it with his hands, listened to the sound, and looked at it carefully.
Ma Xianglin accompanied her and introduced Qin Liangyu with a smile: "Mom, this armor is lighter than the one on the child, and it is stronger..."
Just after confirming that the armor seemed to be made of fine steel, Qin Liangyu was surprised when she heard Ma Xianglin's words. She couldn't help but turned to her son in surprise and said: "Seriously? Not only is it light, but it is also strong? Isn't this impossible?
"
After saying this, she immediately remembered something and asked in even more surprise: "Did you just say that His Majesty equipped all of your subordinates with these armors, not just these personal guards?"
Ma Xianglin knew that his mother would be very surprised, so he happily replied: "Of course, when I was in the capital, I confirmed that the weapon was not only much lighter, but also stronger. Even the replaced weapons became
Sharper."
"..." When Qin Liangyu heard this, he was immediately speechless.
When she came back to her senses, she naturally understood that it was impossible for her son to lie to her about this matter.
However, she immediately had another question and asked Ma Xianglin: "Where did the imperial court come from so many armors, or such sophisticated armors that could issue tens of thousands of armors at one time?"
Hearing this, Ma Xianglin's smile suddenly froze on his face, and then disappeared. He replied to Qin Liangyu: "Mom, there are not so many people under my command. There are only about 6,000 people, and now they all have this new type of armor."
!”
When he left Sichuan to suppress the bandits, he brought tens of thousands of troops with him. Over the past few years, he had lost almost half of his troops during the southern and northern wars.
If it weren't for the fact that this army was all his own soldiers, and everyone in the family was at Shizhu, they would have collapsed and run away.
Hearing his words, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but feel sad for a while. She herself was not the same. Every time there was a war, people would die. However, the thieves could not be wiped out completely. As time went by, the number of people lost accumulated was a huge number.
.
But soon, Qin Liangyu got out of this mood and asked in surprise: "Six thousand to pay for this kind of armor is unbelievable! When did the imperial court become so rich and when could it build so many armors?
? And they gave us so much armor at once, this... this..., I feel like I'm in a dream!"
Even if the court rewards her with one hundred thousand taels of silver, Qin Liangyu will not be so surprised. In other words, although she will be surprised if she is rewarded with one million taels of silver, she will never be as surprised as this.
You know, sophisticated armor is what every force desires to possess.
As for the wild boar skin from Liaodong, it was also known as the Thirteen Armors Rebellion back then, and now it has such a huge momentum.
Generally speaking, the court would never give this kind of sophisticated armor to outsiders, let alone give it so much at once.
Being able to reward the Baigan Army with so many armors shows that the emperor's trust in the Baigan Army cannot be measured by money!
While she was thinking about it, she heard Ma Xianglin say to her again: "My guess is that when His Majesty transfers his wife to Beijing, he also needs to change his clothes and be issued with sophisticated armor and weapons!"
"..." When Qin Liangyu heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded!
Really, she couldn't imagine it.
After a long time, Qin Liangyu came back to his senses and asked incredulously: "The imperial court...where did the imperial court get so many fine armors? Even if they fell from the sky, there couldn't be that many, right?"
After hearing this, Ma Xianglin immediately said with a smile: "What's this, I don't know. The Yongwei camp and the Beijing camp are being reorganized. It is estimated that there will be almost 100,000 people. They will all be issued with new equipment by then!"
"..." When Qin Liangyu heard this, her mind went blank. This was completely beyond her imagination.
When Ma Xianglin saw it, he still smiled and said: "This equipment did not fall from the sky, but the power of technology that Your Majesty used to transform the military situation. Mom, I am telling you, Emperor Taizu has appeared!"
When he said this last sentence, Ma Xianglin seemed not to be older, but still speaking to his mother in a somewhat mysterious way, just like he was when he was a child.
"What? Emperor Taizu appeared?" When Qin Liangyu heard this, she was shocked again. It could even be said that she was a little numb from shock.
In fact, after meeting my son, I heard a series of news, each one more surprising than the last. Now, even the story of Emperor Taizu’s apparition has come out!
It’s so numb!
Ma Xianglin saw his mother, who had always been dignified, with such a rare shock on her face, and felt happy in her heart, so she continued: "Yes, Taizu appeared. Why don't you think about it, how could His Majesty come up with such a good idea?"
, making this stainless steel armor is just like playing with it? And, mother, let me tell you, do you know about the plague? It’s not anything else, just the lump disease, the one that kills every piece of it. Even the emperor knows what’s going on, and
It can be prevented and cured! Also, smallpox, aren’t you always worried about your children contracting smallpox when they were young? The emperor can also cure this disease..."
Listening to what he was saying, Qin Liangyu was really shocked and stunned!
If she had gone through so many hardships on the battlefield, she no longer believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, but at this time, she absolutely believed that it was not necessary to believe in the theory of ghosts and gods. There must have been incidents of ancestors appearing. Otherwise, there was no way to explain the things that happened to the current emperor.
!
To be honest, Qin Liangyu has been fighting for a lifetime, really a lifetime. He understands the situation in the Ming Dynasty better than anyone else and is more pessimistic about it.
However, Emperor Taizu has appeared. That is Emperor Taizu. He expelled the Tartars and fought from the south to the north. The Emperor Taizu has never appeared in history. Not to mention the mere exile of thieves, even the Tatars must have been killed.
Not in the eyes of Emperor Taizu.
Daming, we are really saved!
When he thought of this, he thought of fighting a lifelong battle, losing so many familiar people, and finally seeing the dawn of victory. At this moment, Qin Liangyu burst into tears silently without realizing it.
Ma Xianglin was talking happily when suddenly he saw his mother crying. He couldn't help being startled, and then quickly asked worriedly: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
His mother had always given him the impression of being strong. No matter what happened, she would never shed tears.
Originally, he thought it was because his mother took the separation between life and death lightly.
Unexpectedly, suddenly, he saw his mother crying.
At this moment, he was very surprised, shocked and a little worried at the same time.
When Qin Liangyu heard his son's words, he immediately came back to his senses, quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and then said with a smile: "It's windy, so be careful!"
Later, when she saw her son's expression of disbelief and worry, she happily explained: "Mom is very happy. After fighting for so many years, she finally sees the hope of victory. She sees that in the near future, the world will finally...
It will be peaceful!”
In today's troubled times, people really can't see hope; but when Taizu comes out, who can compete with him?
The world will be peaceful, sooner or later!
Hearing this, Ma Xianglin immediately nodded and agreed with his mother: "Of course, mother, you might not know if it were elsewhere. But as long as mother goes to the capital, you will definitely understand that since your majesty got Taizu
With the emperor's guidance and the gift of treasures, a wise and mighty world, and a peaceful and prosperous age will be just around the corner!"
Hearing the conversation between the two of them, the guards around them also sighed with emotion: In a peaceful and prosperous age, I used to think that this was impossible, but I didn't expect that it would still happen!
It can be said that thousands of words are not worth one sentence, that is, Emperor Taizu has appeared!
At this moment, anyone who hears these words immediately becomes full of confidence in the future.
Qin Liangyu was even a little impatient, and immediately said with a smile: "Then we must speed up the march and get to the capital as soon as possible. Mom wants to see the situation there with her own eyes."
Hearing this, Ma Xianglin thought of something and quickly said to Qin Liangyu: "Mother, Kaifeng is in danger. Your Majesty has issued a decree for me to join mother's side and go south first to support Kaifeng so that the bandits dare not attack the city with all their strength!"
Upon hearing this, although Qin Liangyu wanted to go to the capital to see the capital, she said without hesitation: "Since it is His Majesty's will, we will immediately turn south!"
For her, everything comes first.
While he was talking, he saw Ma Xianglin's team finally coming over.
So, Ma Xianglin first introduced the eunuch Gao Shiyue to his mother and accepted the imperial edict. Then, Qin Liangyu said to Gao Shiyue: "Please tell your majesty that your majesty treats the Baigan Army so favorably. Kaifeng, unless
The Baigan Army was completely wiped out, otherwise there would be no loss!"
After sending Gao Shiyue away, Qin Liangyu had the opportunity to check out the equipment and armor of Ma Xianglin's army. Upon seeing this, he felt even more emotional, Emperor Taizu was really awesome!
With these equipment and armors, the Baigan Army will surely be able to regain its former glory!
The morale of the army immediately rose to a peak after the two armies merged.
Subsequently, Qin Liangyu led the army, with Ma Xianglin as the vanguard, and marched south in a mighty manner.
