October of the fourth year of Daye

Changsheng was discussing the government affairs of the Changsheng camp with Fang Xuanling, Zhang Baobao and others. "A new batch of processed daily necessities has been handed over to Ashina to take away. Since we beat up Tie Le in the first half of the year, Dong

The Turkic tribes that had been in a wait-and-see attitude all stopped and accepted trade with us, covertly or covertly."

Changsheng nodded: "If they can't win and still have to live, they have only this way to choose. They can't kill themselves. Even Tiele's life is not easy compared to it."

"Yes, Ashina bought a small town near Dalanza in the north. It is said that it can accommodate fifty people." Fang Xuanling said.

"Is it called a city if there are fifty people living there?" Zhang Baobao widened his eyes and said, "That's an inn, right?"

Changsheng: "The areas of East Turkestan near the north of our country are Gobi and mountainous areas and are sparsely populated. What he bought is indeed a city. Some small tribes have only a dozen people who dare to call them khans."

"Then my village in the Sui Dynasty can be made a prince if I leave it with them?" Zhang Baobao said with a smile.

"No wonder Ashina came back crying and wanting to join our Sui frontier army this time." Fang Xuanling said with an expression of sudden realization.

The three of them were talking happily when they heard Qin Qiong outside the door asking to see him. After he entered the door, he said hello casually and sat down: "I heard that among the rewards for going to the peak this time, some armors were given to the officers of our Changsheng Battalion.

?”

"Yes, they are all real mountain armors." Changsheng had already checked the rewards sent by the Northwest Dusi Mansion. When he first saw the five hundred armors on the list, he was a little unimpressed.

After all, according to the current production capacity of the steelmaking plant, ten pairs of armor can be produced in a month. However, Chang Sheng was shocked when he saw the real thing. This was not an ordinary armor, but a high-quality mountain armor that was more than an inch thick.

The armor on the list is obviously a word game. I wonder if a big shot in the Ministry of War made the announcement, or did the emperor change his gender?

This batch of Shanwenga uses beef tendon teardrop long-sleeved scale iron to protect the heart. The heart guard in the middle is as big as a football. The joints are also lined with cowhide, and there are shoulder armors to protect the collarbone and neck.

.

Armor of this size is only available to officials of rank five or above. Generally, low-level officers use cowhide armor.

Changsheng estimated that the hundreds of thousands of frontier troops in the northwest only have three to four thousand sets of this kind of armor, and a pair of this kind of armor costs about two hundred taels of silver. Unexpectedly, the Ministry of War actually allocated 500 pairs in one go, which is one hundred thousand taels.

silver.

Of course, some of the armor would be lost during transportation, but this time it was a special document from the Ministry of War, so only fifty pairs were lost.

Although the armor of the Changsheng Camp is also iron armor, it is heavier than this because it is die-cast by a machine tool. The entire armor weighs almost fifty kilograms in total.

Wearing it on infantrymen is cumbersome and consumes physical strength. The armor now issued weighs only more than thirty kilograms in total. It is not only lightweight, but also has stronger defensive power.

Even a frontal slash may not hurt you, let alone arrows and javelin shots. Of course, you can't block the thrust of a spear.

Although there were no communication phones in this era, Changsheng was still prepared to keep a low profile. After all, except for Chen Ping, many of the other frontier troops were not issued this kind of equipment, so he still told Qin Qiong: "Just know what you know, and don't go out and talk nonsense."

Naturally, Chen Ping had to share these things, so he immediately ordered a thousand pairs of armors equipped by the previous troops to be sent to the Dunhuang defenders.

After this, the Changsheng Battalion gave a new definition to iron armor. The mountain armor distributed by the Ministry of War was called iron armor. It turned out that the kind made by the Changsheng Battalion itself was called heavy armor.

There are only about 900 veterans who have returned since the last Linchuan raid. They have all been put on this kind of armor. Those who don't have it will be given heavy armor first, and the remaining excess heavy armor will be given to those who are training.

of new recruits.

"I understand your humble position!" Qin Qiong raised his head after saluting and saw something on Changsheng's table, and reached out to take it.

Changsheng frowned: "Qin Qiong, you are getting more and more bold."

This sentence no longer had any deterrent effect on him. Now the officials who came out of the training camp knew Chang Sheng's temperament and had no rules for her in private.

At this time, Changsheng, as a modern man, brought the idea of ​​equality to the people in the camp.

Although her men were deeply influenced by ancient traditional ethics, under the subtle influence of Changsheng and in the relaxed atmosphere of the camp, everyone became more and more unrestrained.

There was a long iron bar on the table. Qin Qiong picked it up, weighed it in his hand, and then suddenly made a downward swing.

"stop!"

"Watch out!"

Changsheng and Fang Xuanling screamed at the same time. Their excited reactions shocked Qin Qiong, and he quickly put down the iron rod, "Lord, what's the difference between this and the iron rod?"

"This is not an ordinary iron rod." Changsheng quickly brought the iron rod to him and asked him to stay away from Qin Qiong. "Look at the pattern on it. Is there any difference?"

Changsheng asked, pointing to the lines on the iron rod.

"Well, it looks interesting, but what's the point?" Qin Qiong stretched her head and looked at it for a long time and said.

"This is called a screw, not an iron rod." Changsheng gave Fang Xuanling a hint: "Old Fang, tell General Qin how much this thing is worth."

"Not much, only seven thousand taels of silver."

Fang Xuanling's words startled Qin Qiong. Fortunately, he didn't chop this thing down just now. What if it got damaged?

Qin Qiongzheng pointed at the screw with his eyes widened and said, "Is this thing worth seven thousand dollars?"

"That's right." Fang Xuanling looked at Changsheng and said with a smile. He turned halfway in his chair to face Qin Qiong and said: "Since we moved here, the Lord has selected two workers from the steel factory.

Master, you don’t do anything, you just do this thing every day

Xi, it took until last month to finish it. I don’t know how many iron bars were scrapped and how many tools were worn out. Think about it, according to our current production speed, if these two masters keep making armor, how many pairs can they produce?

Seven thousand taels of silver is what I said was conservative."

Qin Qiong looked left and right, took a deep breath, carefully held the screw in his hands, and looked at it for a long time: "What is the use of this iron guy?"

Changsheng told Qin Qiong that although the three patterns on the screw were only three short turns, the distance between them was exactly the thickness of a blacksmith's thumb. The size of each thread was the thickness of an index finger, and they were almost exactly the same. This is now

It's the best it can be done by hand. That's why it took two years.
