Chapter 148 The Restrictions of Treasure Soldiers
Ten days later, Jiang Lin built dozens of armors and sent them all to the Nanling Camp.
Not long after, Liao Mingxu sent someone to deliver 40,000 taels of silver.
The silver was filled into several boxes, which were so full that the eyes were dazzled.
"I'm really sorry. Brothers have only collected so much, and there are still a few thousand taels missing. I will make up for it when the salary is paid."
The person who came to deliver the money was still Miao Chuanfu, and this eighth-grade general seemed to have become a messenger.
The army of the Daqian Dynasty still had a lot of military salary and silver, nearly two hundred taels per month.
But they take more and spend more.
After all, you don’t know when you will die on the frontier, so there is no point in leaving too much money.
Precisely because people in the military have a lot of money and are willing to spend it, places with many military camps often have prosperous businesses.
Jiang Lin was not polite and accepted the money, and Miao Chuanfu left.
The masters of the South Blacksmith Camp looked at the white money with envy.
When Jiang Lin earned several thousand taels before, they already thought it was a lot, but now they realize that it's not much at all.
In just ten days, I have made another 40,000 taels, which is terrifying.
Even if I went to Kyoto City to buy the carapace of two monster beasts in order to make armor, it only cost less than three thousand taels.
As for the ordinary iron, it is almost no cost.
In addition, Miao Chuanfu also brought some good news.
Fang Zhisheng, the garrison who went to the state capitals to form the Tao-killing Battalion, was seriously injured. Two thousand commanders, five general commanders, and even the Xiaoqi Lieutenant under his command were also seriously injured.
Not to mention ordinary sergeants, there were 3,000 people plus tens of thousands of government troops, more than 5,000 people were killed in battle, and countless others were injured.
And those who caused them such great losses were naturally the remnants of Xuanhua Dao.
Several branches of the mountain gate were uprooted and wiped out by Fang Zhisheng's men.
Both sides were severely weakened and had to temporarily retreat to recuperate.
Jiang Lin was not surprised when he heard the news, but rather expected it.
Xuanhua Dao, who dared to come to Kyoto City to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, was so easy to deal with.
Being able to wipe out several branches of the mountain gate is already an incredible achievement.
What puzzled Jiang Lin was that Xuanhua Dao knew that Daqian was going to destroy their orthodoxy, so why didn't they leave?
Is there any special significance in staying here?
Jiang Lin hoped that the people from Xuanhua Road would leave quickly. No matter where they went, they would not stay in Daqian.
It's not that I sympathize with these Taoists, but I'm worried that Fang Zhisheng will really die in the subsequent battle.
The frontier troops fought without risking their lives, and they would not retreat even if they knew they were losing.
It's a pity that when Fang Zhisheng went on the expedition, he didn't know much about monsters. Otherwise, building him a good pair of armor might have hurt him less.
Fang Zhisheng's situation was relatively good, as he went to a place where the power of Xuanhua Tao was not very strong.
It is said that there are several mansions where Xuanhua Dao is deeply rooted. In just a few days, the Dao-destroying battalion formed there suffered more than 50% losses and was unable to capture their mountain gates.
In Miao Chuanfu's words, a true Taoist disciple can turn over rivers and seas with just a wave of his hand, and be invincible to all human beings.
He can also wield a sword for thousands of miles, and beheading people is like trying to retrieve something from a bag.
Such people are simply not something that ordinary troops can deal with, even if the border troops are gone.
Jiang Lin was deeply touched by this. The brutality of the Battle of Kyoto is still frightening to this day.
The various methods displayed are really like gods descending to earth.
To date, the reconstruction of Kyoto Castle has not been completed.
Fortunately, Daqian's camp and repair department was efficient enough and temporarily built shacks to accommodate the affected people.
This is lucky, many people don't even have the chance to live on the streets, and were slapped to death by that palm.
It is said that the city of Kyoto literally flowed with blood that night, and hundreds of thousands of corpses were collected.
Whether it is true or not cannot be determined. The court did not announce the number of casualties.
No one asked, or maybe they asked, but got no response.
Da Gan doesn't care about human life, he will die if he dies.
Jiang Lin also understood more or less why those people in the world naturally believed that the dead did not need to share the benefits.
Even the imperial court is like this, so how can the people stay away from it?
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The various rules and orders of this world make it difficult for Jiang Lin to adapt.
The ideological education I received in my previous life paid more attention to human rights and advocated people to cherish life.
But here, it seems that death is a very ordinary thing.
After sighing for a long time, Jiang Lin returned to the blacksmith shop.
He took out the black crystal iron sent by Yu Maoming, and also took out a sharp wolf fang.
There are two tusks in total, one was used to make a first-grade long sword and was sent to the Nanling Camp, and the remaining one remains until now.
Blacksmith Qi came over and asked: "Master Jiang, do you want to try to build a treasure weapon?"
"Yes." Jiang Lin didn't mean to hide it.
"In my opinion, you may not be able to succeed," Blacksmith Qi said.
"Why?" Jiang Lin was a little confused.
He can use mortal iron to fuse the remains of monsters and beasts to create a first-class weapon. Isn't it possible that he can't use black crystal iron to reach the treasure weapon?
"Because you still don't understand what a treasure weapon is." Blacksmith Qi said: "Of course, I don't understand it either, and no one in the entire casting department understands it. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Jiang Lin asked again.
"Because all treasured weapons come from the hands of private craftsmen from powerful families, and there seems to be some secret recipe in them. Without knowing the secret recipe, no matter how good the materials are and how powerful the remains of monsters are, you can't make them into treasured weapons." Blacksmith Qi road.
"Master Qi is right. There was a master craftsman in our foundry department who collected several good materials, some of which were much better than black crystal iron. There were also the remains of third- and fourth-grade monsters, and they also used strange materials. The wood is burned. The result is still just ordinary soldiers, not treasure soldiers." Master Tang followed.
"It's not that the master craftsman's skills are insufficient. He may not be as good as you, but he can also make weapons of the third grade." Blacksmith Qi said: "After several failures, the master craftsman left the foundry department and traveled around the world. , came back many years later and left this passage.”
“If you don’t understand what a treasured weapon is, you won’t be able to create a treasured weapon.”
Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this. He originally thought that Baobing was just a pile of materials.
The better the material quality, the higher the final grade.
Not actually so?
Seeing Jiang Lin's eyes, Blacksmith Qi quickly waved his hand: "Don't ask me about the secret recipe again. I really don't know. If I knew, I would definitely not hide anything."
Jiang Lin believed that Blacksmith Qi was not lying, but he was a little distrustful.
Any iron can be made into the first grade, but better materials can still be at this grade?
"I want to give it a try." Jiang Lin said.
Blacksmith Qi had long expected that he would not give up easily, and said: "It doesn't hurt to give it a try. In fact, I also want to know whether the words left by the master craftsman are true or false. Over the years, you are the only one who has touched At this level, others don’t even have the chance to verify the authenticity.”
Looking for more orders, I will write in the future
