For Gongsun Yan at present, military preparation is an important matter.
After the battle in Yangqiuli, Baima Yicong's military coat had already been torn and damaged.
Some clever kid in the army discovered that he could use hot charcoal to burn the cracks in the waterproof fabric of a coat, and then knead them together while they were still hot to mend them.
Even Zhao Yun's coat can be seen with several minor repair marks.
However, no matter how much repairs were done, after spring, the military coat, cotton trousers and protective shoes gradually became unwearable.
But under their bright military coats, their military uniforms were already in tatters and tatters.
This is still the better equipped Baima Yicong.
In this early spring weather, there are only a few reed jackets, which have almost no effect of keeping warm.
Currently, Gongsun Yan needs to face the problem of a major change of armor and weapons in the army.
After the main city is successfully set up, the weapon system module is opened.
Said to be a weapon function, it is actually closer to the overall military armament.
In the weapons module, she can customize the offensive and defensive ordnance and armor required by the army, as well as bladed weapons and standard robes with really good steel mouths.
War horse trading has also been moved here.
But Gongsun Yan's attention was mainly focused on the first few items, and he temporarily ignored the war horses.
There’s no other reason than it’s expensive!
The price of an excellent war horse is as high as 2,000 points!
If, like her cheap father Gongsun Zan, you have obsessive-compulsive disorder and only buy white horses, you will need to add 100 points for each horse.
With the malicious intent of finding a love rival for Hei Yun, she scrolled down the list.
All I can say is that the price is not worthy of her now!
Compared to the terrifying price of war horses, the armor provided in the weapon module is much cheaper.
The styles range from the strange leather armors and cloth armors of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, to the double-dang armors and basin-collar armors of the Han Dynasty, to the Mingguang armors of the Tang Dynasty, the Buren armors of the Song Dynasty, the Wenshan armors of the Ming Dynasty, and the cotton armors of the Qing Dynasty.
Choose.
The materials also range from gold and silver, to copper and iron, as well as unconventional paper armor, cotton armor, and in modern times, ceramic plates made of the same material as body armor inserts.
It’s also custom-made on demand, so you don’t have to be fooled.
This space-time armor is so heavy that it is almost impossible to put it on by one person without the help of others, such as the basin collar armor. Moreover, after putting it on, it is as heavy and stuffy as an iron can.
The double armor can only protect the chest and back, but has insufficient protection for vital parts such as the neck, throat, and armpits.
The Yong sleeve armor that can protect shoulders and arms is said to have been invented by Zhuge Liang, but it only has a very crude prototype at present.
In addition to being bulky, contemporary armor also has the problem of troublesome maintenance, as the armor plates are easily rusted.
Auxiliary soldiers often need to dismantle the silk or leather ropes, polish them piece by piece to remove rust and oil them, which is very inconvenient.
Armor changes, which are related to the life protection of soldiers on the battlefield, must be carefully considered.
As for the types of weapons, there are even more types. The lances on horses alone come in several lengths and weights.
Gongsun Yan does not make his own decisions and mess around in areas he does not understand, resulting in waste.
I just have to prepare some drawings later, and then hold a small meeting to decide on armor and weapons.
In addition to weapons and armor, Gongsun Yan still had a say in uniforms and clothing.
She planned to directly customize a black dark-patterned military uniform with a turned-up collar and two-piece robe and trousers.
It is not much different from the modern military training coat, except that the collar and placket have been adjusted to take into account the aesthetics and kimono of this era.
The robe is made of waterproof and flame-retardant fabric, has a removable interlayer, added side pockets and inner pockets with buckles, and comes with a windproof hood.
Paired with a palm-wide cowhide armed leather belt, various small items such as fire knives and daggers can be carried with you.
The Eastern Han Dynasty was still red, and military uniforms were mostly red. Only criminals serving sentences in frontier areas would wear blue-black tops and white trousers.
But Gongsun Yan still wanted to choose black as her military uniform. There was only one reason: it was stain-resistant. This alone made her unswervingly choose black.
Although modern camouflage painting is good, the main force Gongsun Yan currently has is cavalry. Unless it is equipped with horses, it is temporarily useless.
It’s okay to prepare one or two sets of auspicious signs for secret whistles under special circumstances!
In the future, infantry units may also consider camouflage uniforms.
In the entire Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, only Gongsun Zan could create a team like Bai Ma Yi Cong with white horses, silver armor and plain military uniforms. When they were killed, they looked like bloody gourds.
Although it is handsome and full of ritual, it is not necessary.
Even if I want to satisfy this cheap dad’s obsessive-compulsive disorder and make Baima Yicong live up to its name, at worst, I can customize some white dresses to wear on special occasions.
And if you choose dark pattern fabrics, you can avoid matching clothes with criminals and prisoners. Then the design will be more exquisite, emphasizing the waistline and so on, which is also low-key, luxurious and handsome!
If the shoes have enough points, they will specially make calfskin boots with puncture-proof steel plates on the toes and soles.
If you don't have enough budget, you can use summer protective shoes, but the only drawback is foot odor.
If she can't smell it, it's not a shortcoming!
During the Yangqiuli War, the balance of material points in her system at the final settlement was: 38518.
However, because the newly surrendered Yangqiuli villagers were almost completely slaughtered, and the Baima Yi soldiers were killed in battle, the daily income of material points decreased.
After that, more than 40 households of 100 craftsmen were replaced in Xiangguan, with a total of more than 200 people.
But accompanying him at that time were the guards sent by Gongsun Da and the men and horses of Zuo Ping, the general of the Gongsun family.
At that time, all the supplies for the team relied on Gongsunda from Xiangguan.
In that case, it was impossible for her not to consider the issue of explaining the source of the supplies, so except for the supply as usual from her direct descendant Baima Yicong, she did not take any subsidy measures for civilians.
Common people in this era, under normal circumstances, have no chance to have enough food and clothing.
Without the emotional feedback of satiety, warmth and comfort, even if these civilians fall under her control, the system will still not issue material points to her.
The two large estates of Guzhu and Lingzhi, plus the hundreds of workers who moved from Xiangguan and Lingzhi, have a total of 1,970 households with 10,244 households.
This number is actually quite scary. According to the household registration census in Lulong County at the beginning of spring, there are only more than 4,000 households in the entire county.
Two manors actually accounted for half of the population of one county. Even though Lulong was a frontier place, such figures were very shocking.
I don’t know how many other aristocratic families in Lulong County still have shady households.
When Gongsun Yan was still in Lingzhi, he ordered the steward Zhou Xing to open the Guzhu Treasury and distribute relief grains once in the name of praying for his family.
However, the harvest was not ideal and not many material points were obtained.
It is different from being a soldier who does not consider saving when eating and being a soldier tomorrow.
The poor households in the village were not willing to eat such relief food at all, let alone eat it in a luxurious way to feel full all at once.
These yinhu disciples are all people who have truly endured hardships and punishments. They live here, and there is always a kind of panic in their hearts, not knowing which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident.
Therefore, they carefully hid the beans and wheat distributed for relief and were reluctant to touch even a single grain.
Gongsun Yan's plan to harvest material points immediately failed.
Later, I tried again and ordered the steward Zhou Xing to serve porridge directly on the spot, but the effect was still very bad.
The households who received the relief bean porridge simply mixed one meal of bean porridge to make two days' rations.
Never waste a grain of food, never allow yourself to indulge in overeating.
I am still at a level where I can't eat enough and starve to death every day.
Such restraint really made Gongsun Yan sad and helpless.
She knew that such frugality and restraint came from insecurity
Farmers in the Han Dynasty had little ability to withstand risks. They were like a bud that would break if the wind got stronger.
These poor households have been suffering from hunger, cold and bankruptcy. No matter how much relief is given, it will not make them feel at ease.
They will still choose to carefully hoard and hide every little thing they can get.
For such a situation, Gongsun Yan was in Lingzhi and there was nothing he could do.
So she has accumulated so far, and the current material points are only: 119,200 points.
Enough to buy 1,192,000 kilograms of polished rice, which seems like a lot, but when it comes to expenses, it's really hard to come by.
The banker's problem of satiety and warmth must be solved as soon as possible so that she can receive a large amount of material points every day and enter a virtuous cycle.
