Chapter 48 Old 6 is still timid...

At the court meeting the next day, Emperor Wen announced his decision to give Yunzheng the power to recruit private soldiers.

Not surprisingly, Emperor Wen's decision was opposed by most of his courtiers.

Privately recruiting soldiers, this is the power only the prince and prince have!

Yunzheng is nothing, so why should he recruit private soldiers?

However, no matter how much the officials objected, they could not change Emperor Wen's decision.

After the dynasty dispersed, Concubine Shu hurriedly found Xu Shifu.

Emperor Wen's move made her feel a great threat.

Although Emperor Wen had just said at the court meeting that he would never make Yunzheng the crown prince, who knows if Emperor Wen would change his mind because of his headache?

Emperor Wen even gave Yun Zheng the power to recruit private soldiers, so it was not impossible to establish Yun Zheng as the prince.

Looking at Concubine Shu who was restless, Xu Shifu laughed.

"do not worry!"

Xu Shifu smiled nonchalantly and said, "This is still a good thing for us!"

"Good thing?"

Concubine Shu was furious, "Can this be a good thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing!" Xu Shifu chuckled, "Don't worry! It's absolutely impossible for the Holy One to make that wimp the prince! The Holy One is compensating for that wimp!"

Compared to Concubine Shu, Xu Shifu is much more sophisticated.

He could see the secret behind this before he left the court.

"compensate?"

Concubine Shu thought for a while, frowned and said, "Even if it's compensation, that's not a good thing! This shows that the Holy One has begun to take this wimp seriously!"

"I can't talk about paying attention to it. At most, I just pay too much attention to it."

Xu Shifu shook his head and smiled, "Since the Holy One has given him the power to privately recruit soldiers, he will definitely not let him go to Shuobei again! In this way, we will have plenty of opportunities to deal with him slowly!"

Ok?

Concubine Shu was slightly startled.

Thinking about it carefully, that seems to be the case!

Just because Yun Zheng is such a loser, Yun Li is still kneeling in the Ancestral Temple.

With old hatred and new hatred, she will never let Yun Zheng go!

"Then what do we do now?"

Concubine Shu said bitterly: "We have to think of some way to deal with that wimp!"

"Please take it easy in advance."

Xu Shifu shook his head and said: "Yun Zheng has just made so many achievements, and now is the time when the limelight is at its peak. If you deal with him now, you will easily get burned!"

Concubine Shu thought for a moment and nodded lightly.

……

At the same time, Yunzheng also brought people to the armory of the Ministry of Industry.

People from the Ministry of Industry have already been notified by Emperor Wen and have prepared five hundred sets of armor and weapons.

"Scale armor?"

Yun Zheng looked at the armor in front of him and frowned immediately.

This scale armor is quite heavy.

It is covered with iron sheets on the outside of soft leather.

This set of armor weighs at least thirty kilograms.

The treasurer saw that something was wrong with Yun Zheng's expression and quickly said: "Your Highness, the Sixth Highness, this was ordered by the Holy Emperor himself. This scale armor is already a second-class armor. Even the Yulin Guards are just wearing scale armor!"

As for those first-class armors, only generals are qualified to wear them!

He only has five hundred soldiers, but he still wants to wear first-class armor?

Yun Zheng waved his hand, shook his head and said: "No need for scale armor, these scale armor are too valuable, just give me five hundred sets of leather armor!"

"what?"

The treasurer was stunned, and Du Guiyuan and the other three were also completely dumbfounded.

Instead of scale armor, you want leather armor?

Isn't this sick?

"Ah for what!"

Yun Zheng waved his hand, "Hurry up and change into leather armor!"

Du Guiyuan and the others wanted to stop them, but Yun Zheng shook his head gently at them.

The treasurer was naturally very happy about Yun Zheng's request, and immediately asked someone to exchange for sets of leather armor, and thoughtfully helped Yun Zheng and the others load the car.

On the way back, Du Guiyuan and the others kept looking at Yunzheng with strange eyes. They didn't know whether they were saying that Yunzheng was stupid or thinking about something else.

"Do you think His Highness is a fool?"

Yun Zheng asked with a smile.

"Perhaps His Highness has other considerations!"

Du Guiyuan smiled bitterly.

Instead of scale armor, use leather armor.

Isn't that stupid?

Yun Zheng smiled and then said: "The three of you have fought many bloody battles with the Beihuan people in Shuobei. Let me ask you, who is the main armor of the Beihuan cavalry?"

"Leather armor, of course."

Yu Shizhong replied: "But the Beihuan cavalry uses leather armor, which is a last resort! Beihuan lacks armor, and some soldiers don't even have leather armor."

Yunzheng smiled and asked, "What's so scary about Beihuan's cavalry?"

Zuo Ren replied: "The Beihuan cavalry comes and goes like the wind. They are good at running and attacking. They can always attack the weak points of our army's defense by surprise..."

Speaking of the Beihuan cavalry, the three of them were filled with emotion.

The Beihuan cavalry was their nightmare.

In the past, the blood-coated army was almost completely wiped out because it was heavily besieged by the Beihuan cavalry. If Du Guiyuan had not led the remaining troops to break out of the encirclement, they would have all died in Shuobei.

"now it's right!"

Yun Zheng smiled and said: "If the soldiers are put on dozens of kilograms of scale armor, can the soldiers still run long distances? Can the physical strength of the horses keep up?"

Don’t underestimate the less than ten kilograms of weight. Once you run long distances, this weight will be a test for both people and horses.

Listening to Yun Zheng's words, the three of them couldn't help but fall into thinking.

"Your Highness's words make sense."

Du Guiyuan nodded slightly, "However, Your Highness can let the soldiers wear scale armor for training, and then change to leather armor when they get to Shuobei. Wouldn't it be more comfortable?"

Zuo Ren and Yu Shizhong also nodded.

"This is the truth."

Yun Zheng nodded slightly, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But there is not much time left for us to slowly train the soldiers!"

He wants to get the soldiers into combat effectiveness as soon as possible!

You haven’t learned to crawl yet but still want to learn to run?

Want to do weight training after a crash course?

are you crazy?

"This……"

The three of them were slightly suffocated, and instantly understood what Yun Zheng was thinking about.

Yes!

This is a privately recruited soldier, not a well-trained soldier!

The soldiers haven't adapted to the weight-bearing training yet, and I'm afraid they will have to rush to Shuobei!

By then I have learned nothing, and going to the battlefield will only lead to death!

"Your Highness is wise, but we are not thinking carefully!"

Du Guiyuan immediately apologized to Yunzheng.

"His Royal Highness has lived in the palace for a long time, but he can see so much. I admire you!"

Zuo Ren looked at Yunzheng in surprise.

This Sixth Highness clearly knows a lot about marching and fighting. How could he be called a coward by others?

"Stop flattering!"

Yun Zheng glanced at Zuo Ren with a smile, and then ordered: "I'll leave the recruitment of soldiers to you. The military pay will be according to the standards of the left and right garrison. You must recruit all the people as soon as possible!"

"Your Highness, don't worry!"

Du Guiyuan patted his chest and said, "Within three days, we will definitely recruit five hundred soldiers!"

"wrong!"

Yunzheng shook his head, "It's four hundred and ninety-seven! Including you, there are five hundred people!"

If you should be cautious, you should still be cautious.

Don't give people the chance to catch the little tail!

Du Guiyuan reacted and nodded quickly.

When they were transporting the armor back, Emperor Wen also received news from the Ministry of Industry.

"Want leather armor instead of scale armor?"

Emperor Wen was surprised, and immediately shook his head and sighed: "Lao Liu is still timid! After all, he is still afraid that people will say that he has rebellious intentions..."
