It's not like Asmin has never seen such things as heavy armor in Persia. After all, the fork in the world island is a "business district" as the saying goes, and anyone can see it.
Whether it was European armor or her own Persian-style armor, Asmin had seen them all.
It's just that whether in Europe or Persia, the style of armor is generally composed of large iron plates.
The craftsmanship may be high or low, but generally speaking, the basic unit of armor is an iron plate, and only nobles with extremely high status and lords have such things.
But China is different. The armor is made of small iron blocks, and there is no customization - or the threshold for customization is extremely low.
A set of armor can be modified from the father's body to the son's body, and the versatility is different. It is also because of this... Anyway, in Asmin's opinion, it is because of this that the Tang Empire was able to expand on a large scale.
, formed a luxurious army composed entirely of heavily armored knights - the Black Armor Army.
But even in the Tang Empire, armor was still expensive...
But this is Africa, and there are natives everywhere.
These natives may not even have iron swords, and according to rumors, these guys don't know how to smelt copper and iron at all...
Then, how come there is the flash of armor?
Under the torch... you should be able to see more clearly at night, and you won't be mistaken...
This is very weird!
Aren't those people natives of Africa? Who are they?
This made Asmin a little uneasy, but when she thought about it carefully, this place called "Hangwan Island" was the first place where the entire Tang Dynasty was stationed. It is said that Li Sheng once said that this place was also called the "Cape of Good Hope"... This
It's not important. What's important is that this place had not been developed as a trade store or port before.
So, even if pirates from all walks of life planned to set up camp, how could they meet me by such a coincidence?
That is unless the other party is specifically searching for information and coming here with their fleet. At night, they see tents pitched on the sandbanks on the coast, so they come to test the truth——
It's just that this possibility is still too vague, and it doesn't make much sense... If you can't figure out who the other party is, and you can't guess the other party's intentions, then it's meaningless.
and……
Although they are all on the beach, the place where ships can dock is still far away from the place where tents can be pitched. Maybe I have seen it wrong... Some people must have seen this right, but it is indeed possible to wear armor or something.
.
Asmin waved her hand, "Okay, since no one comes out to board our ship, let's ignore him."
"Ah? But... everyone is quite nervous..."
Shana said hesitantly. She was not surprised, but because Asmin attached great importance to this trip, she brought many old people who originally came to Mangbaicheng to colonize, and they were all experienced veterans.
But when it comes to entering a strange sea, a strange... a continent, it is impossible for everyone not to recall what happened when Mangbaicheng was still a camp and was attacked by Tianzhu's elephant soldiers.
This incident has caused a lot of panic, although it is not a big mess - one person said that this is indeed impossible, but the quality of sleep has seriously declined, and whispering and making faces are inevitable...
Shana Ke's learning ability is very good, and she was even "recommended" to study in the West Lake Industrial Zone. However, she had no control over the problem of personnel and team.
But Asmin had the idea, and she glared directly, "But what? You go to sea to seek wealth. If you want to get rich, you are still afraid of trouble. Is there such a good thing in the world? You go... No, I will ask them tomorrow.
If anyone wants to run away after making enough money, get out of here."
After saying that, the sheets were lifted up, and a flash of wheat color flashed... Asmin calmly fell asleep...
Shanako blinked, feeling much calmer in her heart.
Although everyone is nervous, but...since His Highness is here, I think I should be able to have a good sleep first...
"..."
With this in mind, Shana was about to leave Asmin's captain's cabin. But just as she turned around, she heard Asmin speak again behind her, "Well... we can't just pretend not to see this. You can get some tomorrow.
Come on, drink some better sugar cane wine, treat everyone, hold a mobilization meeting, and then take action."
Although she was extremely disdainful of such things as "nervousness", Asmin was by no means a reckless person. She still secretly paid attention to it and suddenly thought of many ways to prevent unexpected events... Winning people's hearts and boosting morale was just one of them.
As for the construction of the camp, Asmin has certainly made progress after spending a lot of time in Mangbai City.
Since the camp will not be established for a while - after all, the water and soil conditions here are not clear yet, and we don't know whether the wood will be useful or not.
Then, setting up an area with intertwined traps is the safest way. If there are indeed people outside the native tribe watching here, it will be much easier if there is at least an area of traps to deal with.
…
Asmin's fleet is just one of the silhouettes in the great tide marching from the east to the west of the World Island.
The real scenery is that countless heroes like Asmin came one after another under the banner of the unification of the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that Asmin's ability is rather special. While she is good at naval combat, she is not prone to acclimatization like Han heroes and has outstanding adaptability. That's why she was sent to this place, which is obviously a natural harbor.
Place. Hangwan Island is a peninsula, and its other name is the famous Cape of Good Hope.
For such an important strategic location, the first step is of course for Asmin to establish a trading port. She has the most experience in this regard. However, the trading port is nominally for commercial use, but its secret purpose is also very clear.
It is used to "transfer materials" rather than "logistics and transportation". Logistics and transportation will have to be taken to the next step.
Since it is used for transporting materials, of course the users of the materials will not be too far away. Near Hangwan Island, there are at least three camps that have been built, and there are also many camps surrounding Hangwan Island.
Nearby, many key geographical points throughout southern Africa were also hidden by the activities of maritime merchants, and the shadow of the Forbidden Army quietly appeared...
This is why Asmin angrily asked Shanako to announce that the whole ship should sleep honestly and not worry too much about safety issues. After all, there are several Forbidden Army camps near Hangwan Island, and now the Forbidden Army has more reliable supplies.
The supply route has greatly increased its strength, and Hangwan Island itself is naturally relatively safe.
Just out of her instinct as a leader, Asmin arranged a trap near Hangwan Island, but...
