Oh my god, after hearing Tian Shouye's words, Renault was embarrassed for Da Chu. He had a country with hundreds of millions of people, and his military standards were so low that it was so weak that he was embarrassed to say that he was a soldier of Da Chu when he went out.

There are three types of armor: bamboo armor, leather armor, and iron armor.

What is bamboo armor? It sounds like something from the Warring States Period on Earth. The materials used are pretty good. It is a purple bamboo specialized in the southern part of Dachu. It is said that the purple bamboo is thick and hard. It is cut with a knife and it takes several knives to cut it off.

The cut bamboo is broken and cut, and made into bamboo slices. The bamboo slices are punched and the animal tendons are worn together. The upper body is a barrel armor and the lower body is a skirt armor.

What does barrel armor mean? It means to use bamboo slices to form a barrel shape, with no bottom or cover on top, and use slings to make a suspender on top. When worn, it is put on directly. If it is hung on the shoulder, the barrel armor can protect the chest, back and abdomen.

Because the tendons are elastic, as long as the barrel armor is made, it will be worn through by everyone. For tall people, the gaps between the barrel armor will be larger. If the body is just right, there will be not many gaps.

This kind of armor can be blocked by mid-range crossbows and weak swords and halberds. Don’t think that bamboo armor is ragged. In Dachu, purple bamboo armor is the equipment of the regular army, and only regular soldiers are qualified to be distributed.

Leather armor is much better. The ones you choose are cowhide, not ordinary cows. Only large cows like wild cows and triangular cows can be made. First, use the whole piece of cows to grind out fine skins, just like grinding animal skin paper. Then make leather armor pieces, which are the same size as purple bamboo armor, one and a half thick, stick these leather pieces to the grinding skin, and then fix them with tendons.

The leather armor made in this way is much more delicate than the purple bamboo armor, and it is all over the body and can even protect the calves. The top-level leather armor can block the close-range crossbows, and the swords and halberds need to be broken several times in a row.

In the Da Chu army, this is a light armored equipment, and it is impossible to obtain elite troops.

There are even fewer iron armor. In addition to generals, only heavy armored cavalry will be equipped with iron armor, with an astonishing defense rate, like canned iron.

Renault heard a lot and understood that Da Chu actually did not lack materials, but what he lacked was craftsmanship. Not to mention iron armor, leather armor, and even purple bamboo armor, it was quite difficult to make a set. It took a famous craftsman to complete it for ten days.

If it is changed to leather armor, there is no need to think about it for a month. The iron armor is even more exaggerated. Several types of craftsmen work together, and dozens of people have to work hard for half a year. This kind of efficiency is impossible even if you want to create too much.

Don’t forget that A is a thing that will break. Even if you don’t go to the battlefield, the time it can be stored is limited. Especially for the heavy cavalry iron armor, it will rust and needs to be polished frequently, and the more you grind it, the thinner it becomes, until it cannot be used.

At present, Da Chu is fully producing iron armor, and can only supply 50,000 heavy cavalry replacements. It is said that the royal family actually saved some iron armor for spare, and the quantity is not very large.

The direction of weapons is more complicated, such as close-range horizontal swords, swords, Chu halberds for combat, long-range crossbows, ultra-long-range siege crossbows, stone throwing cars, as well as rolling wooden rocks, gold juice, sticks, siege ladders for siege, siege cars, etc., there are dozens of types and different uses.

"Is there a firearm?" Renault asked after hearing it almost.

"Firearm? What is a firearm?" Tian Shouye asked strangely.

"It's just something that can get angry and explode." Renault was delighted, it seemed that he hadn't invented gunpowder.

"I got angry? But what's the turmeric oil? What's the explosion?" Tian Shou became more and more confused as he heard it. He understood in his heart that this should be the secret technique of the secret master.

"Boom..." Renault's hands exploded. Those who understand can understand it at a glance, and explanations that do not understand are useless.

Sure enough, Tian Shouye shook his head: "I don't understand, is this... a secret method?"

Well, it's better not to understand: "Where are firecrackers during that festival?"

"Yes, there are firecrackers, throwing green bamboos into the fire, crackling." Tian Shouye understood, and Renault also understood. There was really no gunpowder. You can study this matter. As for whether to release it, I will talk about it then.

Without gunpowder, it depends on the level of metal smelting: "Brother Shouye, the weapon is still sharp..."

"Sir, General, come to see you." Before Renault could continue to ask, the sound of Huya came from outside and opened the door.

Huya's heart was almost jumping out. This was the general, one of the eight commanders of the empire's army, Duke Wei, and the noble man of the boss Gao. He actually stood in front of the door, waiting for his own notice, and no one was allowed to enter.

He didn't know much etiquette, but Huya understood that the general respected his husband. In the past, when he was in the convoy, any manager or gang leader could go directly to the camp of the Tiger Pack Gang. Who would wait outside to wait for the notification?

Renault and Tian Shouye quickly stood up, walked to the door, and looked closely. It was not General Zhu, Zhu Chongjiu, who was standing outside. Behind him, there were still a bunch of Dingxi Army officers standing.

"God General is great?"

Zhu Chongjiu's eyes were as lightning as lightning, and he looked at Renault carefully, and suddenly bowed and bowed: "Thank you, Mr. Lei, Zhu is much better."

As he saluted, a group of generals behind him knelt on one knee and thanked each other in unison.

Well, it feels OK, but the sound is a bit loud, which is very scary.

"No need to be polite, General, please sit in and sit in." Renault's room was not small. Zhu Chongjiu stepped into the room, but the generals behind him did not come in, but guarded outside the door and snatched the work of Huya.

Tian Shouye looked a little flustered. Zhu Chongjiu's identity was too high, which made him restless. He wanted to leave but couldn't take steps. He wanted to stay but felt it was inappropriate.

"General, this is Tian Shouye, the leader of the Changfeng Tuo Gang. He is a good person. He was the one who sent a message to the princess's wedding convoy before."

After hearing this, Zhu Chongjiu turned around and gave him a smile: "It's okay to sit down with Gang Tian, ​​there's no need to be nervous."

As a general of the Dingxi Army, he naturally knew how powerful his tiger power was. It is normal for a small leader of the gang to speak incoherently when he saw him.

Sure enough, Tian Shouye only had half his butt on the chair and really couldn't sit. The muscles on his face stiffened and he tried hard to laugh, but it was even more ugly than crying.

Zhu Chongjiu ignored him, not afraid of him listening: "Mr. Lei, I will never thank you for your kindness. You saved not only me, Zhu Chongjiu, but also the entire Dingxi Army, and the situation in the southwest. This is Zhu's personal token. Everyone knows about it in the southwest. Please accept it."

After saying that, he presented a crystal jade pendant with both hands, and the word "heavy" was engraved in the center of the jade pendant.

Renault doesn't care much about tokens, and he doesn't have many opportunities to show up, but the name Renault has been spread all over the southwest for a long time since the changes these days. It doesn't matter whether there is a token or not.

However, this jade looks pretty good, and there is also jade in this world.

He reached out to take it and played with it for a moment in his hand: "Is this jade?"

Zhu Chongjiu's body was slightly stiff. He didn't care about his personal token. The one who was interested was made of jade. As a result, it was nothing if he was a secret master.

"Yes, sir is very knowledgeable, this is jade, and very few people know about this kind of gem."

"Where is this jade produced? Is the output large?" Renault asked curiously.

"It is very rare. It is said that it is produced in the western part of the world, and there is no such thing as the Great Chu." Zhu Chongjiu replied. This is Renault's question. Zhu Chongjiu would not answer at all. Are you very idle to be the general of Dingxi?

"Well, it's rare. The general doesn't mind me borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." After saying that, he looked at Zhu Chongjiu with a smile.

Yu Guang swept Tian Shouye's face, and Zhu Chongjiu sighed in his heart. It turns out that he is a secret master. He doesn't care about his favor at all. This is the favor of the imperial general, and he can't buy it no matter how much it costs.

"Sir, jokingly, since Zhu is in charge of the sir, sir can naturally use it at will." Zhu Chongjiu said.

Renault casually stuffed the jade pendant into Tian Shouye's hands: "Brother Shouye, Lei has not been here for a long time, but he has received a lot of help from you. I'll give this jade pendant to you."

Damn it!

Tian Shouye was excited and swung his body, and the strength in his body suddenly came out. Renault looked at it very easily. Can this living person still smoke?

The teeth are fighting, and speaking is worse than stuttering: "First... sir... this... field cannot be collected..."

"Okay, Brother Shouye doesn't need to be polite. Apart from the good material, Lei should not be able to use this thing. The three of the Hu family are willing to join the Lei family as servants, and they will not take the golden path in the future." Renault said with a smile.

With this jade pendant, no one dared to provoke the Changfeng Tu Gang in the southwest from now on. This is the reward for Renault to the Tian brothers. As for those red ginseng, how could Renault care? The favors were too small and boring.

As for General Zhu's favor, Renault didn't care even more. He was not prepared to live here for a long time. Besides, Zhu Chongjiu must have more places to help than he needs him.

Zhu Chongjiu's favors will only owe more and more, and Renault will not owe him anything.

Sure enough, Zhu Chongjiu bowed to Tian Shouye: "Gang Master Tian, ​​if you have any difficulties in the southwest in the future, you can take a jade pendant to the General's Mansion. I want to have a few private talks with Mr. Lei, can I make it convenient?"

I'm so polite about what I said. The previous sentence is to admit the favors Renault sent. Of course, there is another meaning in the words. If nothing big is happening, you can solve it by showing the jade pendant. If there is really a difficult thing, come with the jade pendant. This general will help you a lot. Naturally, you will have to take back the jade pendant afterwards. Are you qualified to hold the jade pendant as the leader of a businessman?

While making a promise, it is also a reminder that as long as you don’t do anything randomly, your gang can do business with confidence and boldness. If you keep your jade pendant, this favor will always be used up.

Tian Shouye was trembling and staggering out of the room as if he had a cerebral thrombosis. Reno looked at it and wanted to laugh. This is the ancients, with strict class and humility that emerged from his bones.

After he left the room, Zhu Chongjiu spoke: "I heard from Yang Feng, do you have a plan?"

Renault smiled: "The general can judge for himself. Lei doesn't care about this."
Chapter completed!
