Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 75 Da Song Que's Backbone Is Actually Iron

Zhao Huan looked at the invulnerable Guo Jing, and the first thing he doubted was not his own values ​​and worldview of more than 20 years.

The world is material, and this is the core value, an unquestionable value of dialectical materialism.

So how on earth does this guy do it?

He thought of the unarmored soldiers on the city wall, stuffing bricks into their clothes, stuffing cowhide, no armor, stuffing bricks into their clothes to stop the golden soldiers from chopping, it was a cheap armor.

This is because Da Song's armor rate is really very low.Only the elite have a small full set of armor, and many of them wear water jackets on the battlefield, and they will freeze half to death if they don't die.

"Shen Cong, cut his neck off." Zhao Huan said, if he survives this blow, it won't be too late for him to start denying his own values.

Guo Jing was horrified to the extreme. Since he came down from the mountain, he has been performing smoothly. Why is it that it doesn't work when he comes to the emperor?
He received countless applause, applause, and copper coins. He originally thought that he would be able to do everything when he became the emperor. After all, the last emperor was the leader of the Taoist priest!
Originally, I thought that I would get a lot of rewards from the emperor, but I didn't expect to wait until the neck was stabbed.

"Yes." Shen Cong was also curious about how this guy was invulnerable.

When I was attacked this time, if I had this skill, how could I be so embarrassed?
"Your Majesty, have mercy!" Guo Jing knelt down on the ground without hesitation.

He kowtowed several times in a row. If he stabbed at the neck, he would have to go to see Daozu Sanqing.

Admit cowardly, admit cowardly, admit cowardly is not enough, please don't cut it.

"Take it out." Zhao Huan decided in his heart that this world is material.It will not change just because this person is wearing a Taoist robe.

Guo Jing tremblingly took off the Taoist robe, and everyone saw the soft armor and the leather lining.

The steel rings with one buckle and another are laid flat on his body, which looks a bit like chain mail.But it doesn't look like the chain mail with mountain patterns in the Central Plains.

"Your Majesty, this is a golden silk soft armor. It is my master's famous work. Your Majesty, please forgive me." Guo Jing was frightened.

It was rumored that the new emperor was tyrannical and alert, and it was indeed true.Come up and cut your neck.Who can stand this?

"Zhao Ying, go to the side hall and peel off the soft armor for me to take a look." Zhao Huan said with a smile, the crime of deceiving the emperor is a capital crime, but he has no interest in beheading Guo Jing.

He is very interested in this soft armor!
These are really steel rings, each ring is interlocked with the other four rings, like a chain mail of net locks!

He was not interested in the craftsmanship of this chain mail. The mountain-patterned armors of the Burenjia, Iron Kite, and Iron Buddha Tu were actually all the mysterious armors of the Xuanjia Army of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the mountain-patterned chain mail.

These armors are all upgraded versions of chain mail, double-layer cold-forged armor, which is much stronger than chain mail.

He even wanted to know how this Guo Jing found the steel needed for the chain mail!This is the key!
Da Song is specialized in Yantie!He can get one for no reason?Why?There are countless armors in the Song Dynasty, and there will be no more out of thin air, nor less out of thin air.

He keenly sensed that something big was going on inside!
"Call Li Gang over here!" Zhao Huan asked Shen Cong to run errands. This Li Gang is the young supervisor of the Military Weapons Supervision, and he is sure that he knows everything about it.

Zhao Ying came in with Li Gang's front and rear feet. Zhao Ying was cleaning the rust of the chain mail, of course not washing it with water, but washing it with sand before sending it to Wende Hall and presenting it to the officials. Banban's appearance is too miserable.

"See the officials." Li Gang saw the chain mail surrounded by steel rings for the first time, and couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Li Shaoqing, take a look at the steel used in this chain mail. Is it from Song Dynasty?" Zhao Huan told Li Gang to take a quick look.

Da Song is not without iron. He judged from the taxation of salt and iron that Da Song has an annual output of at least [-] tons of pig iron.But pig iron is not steel. Da Song lacks steel, and lacks steel that can forge armor!
But whether this steel is produced in Da Song needs to be confirmed by Li Gang.

The sergeants of the Song Dynasty, even the elite, still lack armor, very short.Zhao Huan had studied this issue with Li Gang for a long time.

The conclusion reached was that the iron materials of the Song Dynasty were of poor quality, either hot or cold, but Zhao Huan knew that it was because of the two elements, sulfur and phosphorus.

"This is steel that has been refined a hundred times! Officials! Steel that has been refined a hundred times! Iron! Iron that comes from the territory of the Great Song Dynasty! Officials! There is hope for the revival of the Song Dynasty!" Li Gang said this sincerely, Already a bit incoherent.

The armor rate of the Song Army was very low, and it was already pretty good for two thousand sergeants to have five hundred pieces of full armor.

In fact, these [-] pieces of full-scale armor still have a lot of doubts.

Da Song has no iron!
[-] tons of pig iron a year, but can't forge armor?
Because it is too difficult to forge.

Now forging Dasong Buren armor, harness and even weapons are all in the form of sandwiching raw rice, made of pig iron sandwiched with wrought iron, but the iron and stone in the Central Plains are extremely barren, not only that, it is either hot or cold, and cannot be forged at all.

Elite sergeants such as personal officers, relative officers, and the Western Army all use wrought iron inside and two pieces of cast iron outside, which have been tempered thousands of times to form a square piece of scale armor.

During the grinding process, fracture and spalling may occur, and cracks may also occur during quenching.It takes thousands of catties of iron to produce about one piece of scale armor for armor, and the iron essence is not known how much it will cost, so it is hard to find the armor of Song Dynasty.

The most distressing thing is that the armor plates that have been made for several days cracked during quenching, and the scale leaves have to be forged again.

Crunchy and brittle, the grade of iron materials and iron stones is too poor, which has become Li Gang's big worry!

And I don't know why, in the territory of the Song Dynasty, the armor leaves that were forged by hot forging are all fake, and the armor that looks like raw rice sandwiched between pig iron and wrought iron will shatter when touched.

It's the same with or without armor, and it's very cumbersome.

Why?Li Gang searched for the answer for a long time, and Da Song also searched for more than 180 years but failed to find the answer.

"Western Xia has iron harriers, Can Liao also has Tielin army, Jin people have iron pagodas, but Song's infantry armor is at the bottom of the embarrassing situation, the armor can't defend against the arrows of bows, crossbows, even knives and axes! "

"Even a small green pond has warts, and I searched all the territory in the Song Dynasty. I couldn't even find an iron mountain that could forge armor! Officials, this soft armor with golden silk! Da Song, this method is the method of Da Song forging armor!"

Zhao Huan's face was even more surprised!I don't know if it was Guo Jing's master who improved the craft or found a new mine?
"What Li Shaoqing said is true! The Great Song Dynasty is really hopeful for ZTE." Zhao Huan was also full of emotion.
