The first thousand two hundred and fifty-four chapters body armor
The current Holy Emperor, His Highness the Crown Prince, is the Chief Minister of the Cabinet.
The three most powerful people in Dali all agreed, so other officials would have no objections.
Even if there is, it must be kept in mind.
So after returning to the Jinluan Palace, the issue of equipping the army with firearms naturally gained everyone's support.
All the officials shouted loudly to the Holy One and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Of course, firearms are a different weapon system from the Ancient Moon Realm after all. If all the army's weapons and equipment are replaced with firearms at once, it may cause even greater chaos.
Therefore, even if the army needs to be replaced with equipment, it needs to be done step by step.
The army used for the trial was undoubtedly the Imperial Guards that guarded the palace.
If such a powerful weapon was not first equipped to his own troops, the old emperor would not be able to safely promote it to other armies.
This has always been the case.
Although the number of the Imperial Guards is not the largest, the candidates are all selected from a hundred, but the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands have always been the best in the imperial court.
It may not be possible to attack the city, but with the presence of the imperial guards, it is enough to protect the palace.
Well... although the second prince broke into the Meridian Gate, he actually couldn't break into the emperor's palace even if the king didn't show up.
After the trial is successful among the Imperial Guards, the next step will be the Beijing Camp, and then the armies from various places.
Of course, due to the limitations of Ancient Moon World's production technology, it is impossible to replace all military standard weapons with firearms.
Including the Beijing camp, armies in various places will only have an additional musketry team and artillery battalion.
The only difference lies in the proportion of troops equipped with firearms.
And because of the extraordinary path that exists in the Ancient Moon Realm, this cooperation model of cold weapons and hot weapons complementing each other is the most suitable.
After the two armies get close, cold weapons are more advantageous in hand-to-hand combat.
However, only a simple charter was discussed at the court meeting, and the specific details will be handed over to the Ministry of War for discussion after the court meeting.
The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Accounts will also cooperate to control costs.
At the Great Court Meeting, Emperor Xin also proposed the concept of firearms jurisdiction. After detailing the possible harm caused by the proliferation of firearms, the old emperor who was pricked and the frightened officials immediately agreed to the emperor's proposal.
Xin's suggestion.
Before firearms are equipped into the army, specific measures for mandatory jurisdiction over firearms are negotiated.
In this way, hidden dangers in the process of transforming cold weapons into hot weapons can be eliminated to the greatest extent from the source.
As a summary of the series, this time the meeting still took longer than usual.
After it was over, many officials couldn't help but sigh while chatting privately.
Ever since the fifth prince was established as the quasi-prince, the court meetings have become longer and longer each time.
…
After the tense court meeting, as they were walking outside the Meridian Gate, the officials were relaxed and chatting away as usual.
However, Di Xin did not follow the same example as them, but followed the old emperor to the imperial study room.
After the screen retreated, only the old emperor and Di Xin were left in the study.
After looking at each other, both of them showed a tacit smile.
The old emperor was not stingy with his praise and said: "Xiao Wu, although I have heard your introduction to firearms before, but today I saw the power of firearms with my own eyes, and I finally felt..."
"You gave me a big surprise!"
From what he said, he was obviously very satisfied with the firearm.
Because he occupied the body of the original King Yu, the old emperor continued to call Di Xin according to his previous habit, but in private, Di Xin no longer called the old emperor father.
It was necessary to act in front of outsiders. If you still yelled like this when there were only two of you, you were really letting the old emperor take advantage.
You know, considering the true age of Emperor Xin, the ancestors of the old emperor are too young.
Di Xin said with a smile: "Since you and I have reached an alliance, I will naturally spare no effort to help you. After all, helping you means helping me."
The old emperor laughed: "That's right, so I won't say any more words of thanks."
Di Xin nodded, and then said: "But what surprised me is that the first person to express support was actually Mr. Li Zhengfu and Li Ge."
The old emperor knew that Di Xin was talking about Yang Youxu, so he said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this. Mr. Li Ge will retire in a few years, and he won't cause any obstacles to you and me."
"But when you're in his position, it's not that easy to retreat. What he did today was just to show his kindness to you."
"Showing favor?"
Di Xin chuckled and said helplessly: "He is worried that I will retaliate against him after he retreats, right?"
The old emperor shook his head and said: "Li Zhengfu is capable, but not very courageous. He does have concerns in this regard."
"But that's fine. During the few years he is still in office, you and I don't have to worry about what mischief he will do."
Emperor Xin nodded.
Indeed, if Li Zhengfu reaches the position of cabinet minister and is determined to go against them, he can indeed cause a lot of trouble.
Now that he is so knowledgeable, it is a good thing.
The two people quickly ignored the topic of Li Zhengfu.
Di Xin said: "I am staying today because there is one more thing I want to see."
"oh?"
With firearms as a warning, the old emperor obviously had a lot of interest this time.
If you can keep the firearm behind and give it to him alone, it must be a treasure that is not inferior to the firearm.
"The reason why it is not brought out at the court meeting is because this item cannot be mass-produced."
As Di Xin spoke, he untied his belt behind him, revealing the vest he was wearing underneath.
The orderly armor plates obviously show its good defensive power.
After Di Xin took off his vest, he placed it on the table and introduced it: "This is a piece of armor that I have been working on in the past few days."
"I call him body armor."
The old emperor's expression changed, and he asked meaningfully: "Bulletproof vest?"
Di Xin smiled and nodded: "Yes, as the name suggests, it can prevent the impact of bullets."
Ancient Moon Realm does not have the mature technology of Blue Star, and under limited conditions, Di Xin cannot make the standard body armor of Blue Star.
But since there is extraordinary power in the Ancient Moon Realm, there must be some extraordinary things.
With the help of this extraordinary thing that is not available on Blue Star, treasures with similar functions can naturally be made.
The main material of this body armor is the same as the shield in King Cheng's hand back then.
Iron tree trunk.
The hardness of the iron tree trunk is comparable to that of steel, and the characteristics of wood allow it to have a certain degree of elasticity and can absorb a certain amount of impact.
Body armor made in a special way is strong enough to withstand the impact of bullets.
Moreover, body armor made from iron tree trunks is not as thick and clumsy as iron armor.
There is no such cold uncomfortable feeling.
Wearing this body armor inside will not have much impact on daily actions, at least it will not be visible from the outside.
