Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 169 Modao Forms an Army

Chapter 173
During Shihu's reign, he lived a very extravagant life and practiced tyranny over the common people, showing all sorts of cruelty. However, he treated Fotucheng, a Buddhist monk from the Western Regions favorably, which objectively contributed to the spread of Buddhism at that time.

However, Buddhism in this period was not a good bird. Relying on the favor of Shihu, Buddhists brutally persecuted the Han people, without any compassion from Buddhism.

Ran Min was besieged by the barbarians, and to be precise, Fotucheng contributed a lot.

This involved racial and religious disputes, but ended in the overall defeat of Han Chinese Taoism.In this era, Farao was at least the leader of Taoism and had a good reputation in Wei State.

Farao nodded, "This is indeed a warning from the heavens."

Shen Zhong deliberately pretended to be surprised and said, "The emperor's intention is to shake the water, how should we explain it?"

"Hey!" Farao sighed, "The nature of thunder is wood, which is located in the east; Kan is water, which is located in the north. At the beginning, His Royal Highness Chu replaced His Majesty in defending Liantai, and in the face of the siege of the barbarians, God helped him." , Defeat the enemy in all directions. The light soldiers took Qingzhou directly and established a foundation."

Tiao You thought for a moment, then asked: "Jin belongs to metal, Wei belongs to water, water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to metal, metal gives birth to water. In this way, the five virtues work, and Wei must replace Jin?"

Farao stretched out a finger and said: "Ten years, at most ten years, Wei will replace Jin, and the world will be unified!"

Then Farao said again: "At the end of last year, Pindao once made a divination for His Majesty, but the result turned out to be a sign of great evil. Who would have thought that after a year, Pindao would divination again, and the divination would turn out to be a sign of great auspiciousness. "

Everyone was silent.

At this time, Situ Wei said: "As soon as the prophecy came out, the people of Great Wei panicked, and they were all worried about the future of the Wei state. Taiwei, the old man is very worried, worried about the prince!"

Shen Zhong nodded and said: "From the current point of view, the position of the prince is still stable. However, as the king of Chu defeated Murong Ke, recovered Qingzhou, defeated Fu Luo, captured Hongnong County, and Tongguan, the scenery was stronger than the two weak branches for a while. It's really not the blessing of Great Wei!"

Tiaoyou sneered, "If the crown prince succeeds, he will be Cui's puppet. If Cui is in power, I'll be done waiting."

Pei Yi said: "Everyone, I have an idea. Even if we try our best to assist His Highness the Crown Prince, we will inevitably be exhausted in the end. Why don't we support His Highness King Chu instead!"

Shen Zhong said anxiously: "How is this possible? The position of the prince is established by His Majesty. Besides, the prince has not lost his virtue. What he does is not blind to the actions of the king. I suggest that you help the prince take the initiative and assist the prince as much as possible to reverse the disadvantage. It's the way to win!"

Wang Ning said: "Whether there is long-term concern, there must be near-term worries. We must prepare for the worst. At least we should get acquainted with His Royal Highness Chu, and understand His Highness's attitude!"

Shen Zhong thought for a while and said: "So, that's fine!"

At Mengjindu in Luoyang City, at this time, the newly appointed captain of the navy school, Wang Yu, led more than 200 large and small warships to Mengjindu.

Although Xie Ai wiped out one-third of the warships and troops of the Wei Army's Changshui Army with the strategy of water attack, the strength of the Changshui Army is still there, and it is located in the Qingzhou Shipyard. Under his leadership, the recently manufactured Wanshi warship has been launched.The Wanshi warship, that is, the full load weight is about Wanshi. In fact, this kind of wooden ship is not too big, with a load of only [-] tons. Still not worth mentioning!
At this time, there was the only Wanshi warship in the fleet. This warship was as high as a five-story building, about 32 feet long, six feet wide, and nearly ten feet deep. On the fifth deck, There is a small attic for observation and battle command.This warship has three masts and is propelled by dual power of sails and oars.There are parapets on the deck and the battle shed, which can hide the half body.

There is a stamping mouth on the female wall for archery.There are also combat platforms around the battle shed.The weapons and equipment are even more powerful, except for four heavy-duty return guns designed according to Ran Ming's drawings, which can throw 150-jin stone bullets to a distance of more than 400 steps.Even the most advanced warships of the Jin Dynasty Navy may not be able to withstand the bombardment of a stone bullet.There are also as many as 36 eight-ox crossbows, which can fire 36 eight-foot-long giant crossbow bolts in just one volley, killing the enemy within a distance of [-] steps.

At the front and back of the ship, there are racket poles. The poles are six feet long and shaped like a big mast. There are huge stones on it, and they are controlled by winches installed under the deck to smash at the enemy warships.The pole does not use the principle of leverage to allow the high upright boulder tied to the long pole to smash down freely, so as to crush the enemy ship, which is very effective against approaching enemy boats.

Ran Ming stood at the ferry, looking at the big ship, his eyes were full of excitement.The five-tooth warship that appeared in the Sui and Tang Dynasties finally appeared.

Standing at the bow of the boat, a big man with a black face was full of excitement. The big man ran towards Ran Ming's direction quickly. Because of his speed, the ground at the ferry was wet, so he fell a somersault! "Your Highness, I succeeded!"

Only then did Ran Ming realize that it was actually Niu Shi, nicknamed Niu Dahammer.Now the supervisor of the Qingzhou Military Weapons Supervision, a master craftsman.

Niu Shi excitedly said: "The humble job has been done, and Xiaodi has finally forged the blade invented by his ancestors!"

Ran Ming was startled, but before he could react, Niu Shi ran onto the warship like a gust of wind, but when he came back, he carried a three-meter-long wooden stick wrapped in black cloth.Niu Shi came to Ran Ming, unwrapped the package from the wooden stick, and revealed the contents inside.

Ran Ming looked at the knife in front of him with joy in his eyes.

"Slap the blade!" To be precise, it is the prototype of Modao, which slowly evolved from the zhandao sword that appeared in the Western Han Dynasty.The blade of this Mo knife is more than seven feet long, and the handle is more than seven feet long.It is one foot and five feet long,
Ran Ming stretched out his hand and grabbed it, feeling extremely heavy in his hand. The blade looked very thin, thin and long, and Ran Ming felt a little impractical. Could this be the Mo Dao in history that can be split in half by a man?
Perhaps Niu Shi saw Ran Ming's doubts, and then smiled and said: "Your Highness, please try the knife!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the horse-bolt on the side of the ferry. The horse-bolt at the ferry was six feet high and about [-] centimeters in diameter. Ran Ming sank into his dantian and shouted, "Open!"

There was a flash of cold light, and there was only a click, and the hardwood hitching post burst open from the middle!

Ran Ming stroked the blade of Mo Dao lightly, the blade of Mo Dao glowing with blue light was still the same as before.

Then Ran Ming asked a Qilin guard to bring a piece of armor, which was taken off by the heavy cavalry of Yan State's "armored riding equipment". It was made of refined steel and weighed 47 kilograms.

Ran Ming yelled again, with a plan to smash down the mountain.

Sparks splashed everywhere, and there was a rattling sound like grinding teeth, and then looked at the armor on the ground. At this time, from the breastplate on the chest to the lower abdomen, there was a hole about three feet long.The blade of the Mo knife only left a shallow blunt mark.

Ran Ming is full of joy, and the Mo Dao in the parallel history is nothing more than this!Mo Dao may be a bit difficult to deal with heavy cavalry, but it will definitely be as easy as cutting melons and vegetables against light cavalry.

Ran Ming said: "Niu Shi!"

"I am humble!"

"How long does it take to make one of these Mo Dao?"

Niu Shi said: "Originally, according to the original method, it is not cumbersome to make one. Not only is the process complicated, but it is also prone to failure. However, according to the coke steelmaking method invented by His Highness and the hydraulic stamping hammer method, five people can make one in three days. Now, Qingzhou already owns [-] Modao and more than [-] pairs of matching armors, and now Xiaodi has sent [-] sets of armor and [-] Modaos to His Highness on his own initiative!"

"Okay, okay, great!" Ran Ming originally planned to form a Modao army. This army should not be too many, and 500 people should be enough for the time being.Now everything is ready.

Then Ran Ming asked people to unload the goods, and he led Jing Zhan, Ran Feng, and Su Jue to Luoyang City, and Ran Ming began the work of selecting the Modao soldiers!

Each Modao weighs about 38 jins, armor 36 jins, plus helmets, marine boots, almost everyone has to carry [-] jins, ordinary people simply cannot adapt to such a heavy weight.

Fortunately, there are a large number of Yan warriors in Su Jue's army.Of course, this person from Yan is not Murong Yan, but the country of Yan during the Warring States period, and the territory of the country of Yan during the Warring States period is equivalent to the current three northeastern provinces.These Han people are all very tall, with an average height of more than seven feet, and a considerable number of them are around seven feet and five inches.

On the school grounds, Ran Ming rushed to the soldiers and said: "I am planning to form a new army, only warriors can't do it! The name of the new army is Modao Army, and the treatment of Modao Army is the head of the whole army. The military honor field is one mu, and the military merit field is beheaded by one level. Five acres, one hundred acres of military farmland, disabled and retired, each person will be rewarded ten thousand yuan, and the land tax will only be paid [-]%!"

Joining the Wei Army, these soldiers don't understand the righteousness of the country and the nation. They only know the benefits. People are crazy about it.

Ran Ming pointed to the giant trees erected on the school grounds, each of which was as thick as a hug and weighed 150 kilograms.You carry this log, run ten laps around the school grounds, persist until the end, and be selected into the Modao Army! "

Ah, countless soldiers are running towards the giant tree. In their eyes, those dark woods are more exciting than naked beauties!
These soldiers carried the wood and ran, 150 catties, even Ran Ming could only carry this weight, I am afraid he could not even run a mile, not to mention the ten laps of the school field, a few of them were 25 miles.

Fortunately, the thousand giant logs that Ran Ming had prepared were all robbed in an instant.Countless soldiers didn't grab the wood, and their teeth were itchy with anger!
To Ran Ming's surprise, these soldiers had very good physical strength, and they ran very fast. In order to appease the soldiers who did not get the wood, Ran Ming promised to give them another chance.

However, at the beginning, these soldiers carrying the wood ran very fast. After a long time, the speed began to slow down, and they were breathing heavily!
Ran Ming looked at the soldiers running on the school field, and murmured: "Modao will definitely give you a surprise!"

ps: Lao Cheng asked for leave today to go home, and now he has started to drive more than 800 kilometers by himself, so he will definitely not be able to update.Continue to explode tomorrow.
