The work of forming the new army of the Second Brigade began rapidly, and Zhu Youjian suddenly had more work to do.
At present, what troubles him in building a new army is not the personnel and funds, but the equipment! The temporary armor is not very useful in combat. It cannot protect against bows, arrows and knife stabs, so more refined armor must be produced.
Come out. In an era dominated by cold weapons, armor is really important. Good armor can not only provide good protection for soldiers, but also improve their confidence and morale. Think about it if you know how easy it is to fight.
His life would be in danger, so he would have no scruples when fighting.
"My lord, most of the family members in the palace have gone to Nanjing, and the palace maids and slaves have nothing to do. You can discuss with the queen and set up a factory to organize them to sew armor and uniforms for the army, and then start work.
Food and silver. In this way, they can earn some money, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can also wear suitable armor. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?" If you want to produce armor in a refined way, you need a large number of manpower. I thought about it.
, Zhu Youjian discovered that there were actually suitable people around him. The Clothing Supervisor, the Shoe and Hat Bureau, and the many maids in the palace organized these people, and it didn't take long to produce six or seven thousand new sets.
The armor comes out.
In a sense, the Inner Palace of the Ming Dynasty seems to be naturally suitable for large-scale factories. Whether it is light industry or heavy industry, there are sufficient manpower here. And technically speaking, it can basically bring together the top craftsmen of this era.
If we gather together, this may be the biggest way to escape the desperate situation!
The original basic idea of making new armor has not changed. It is to get a vest with pockets and sleeves for the arms and legs, and then insert the iron plate armor into it. However, compared with the previous rough processing, this time
Much more attention must be paid to the production process and the use of materials. In addition to cotton, the inner lining is silk and the outer lining is leather armor. Not only that, the air raid joints that cannot be filled with iron armor have to be filled with particularly dense wool felt.
Go in.
In this way, bows and arrows with average power are no longer harmful. As for powerful bows and arrows, to be honest, there are not many you can encounter on the battlefield! What should you do if you meet them? What else can you do? You can only accept it as bad luck!
"Your Majesty, let the palace people make armors. Where should we choose the place? There is no such suitable place in the city at the moment."
"Let's make armor in the inner palace! We have such a big place and so many houses in the palace, where can we find space?" Zhu Youjian's most indispensable thing to run a factory is land and factory buildings.
After a lot of effort, the imperial city was built, and it could be considered that it could really do some serious work.
When Wang Chengen heard his emperor's arrangement, he immediately became anxious and quickly stopped him: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! Making armor in the inner palace is disrespectful to the country!" He mainly disliked Zhu Youjian's remarks.
The arrangement makes the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty look unsightly. The majestic Shenzhou Center asked you to arrange a group of women to work as factories. What would the people of the world think if this was spread? Besides, the scene of producing armor would be very chaotic, and it would definitely affect the majesty and tallness of the people.
Ouchi image.
At this point, Lao Wang still cares about the dignity of the country. He really has no sense of the overall situation! "My dear friend, what is the dignity of the country? It means that there is a strong army outside and wise ministers inside. The world is peaceful and the people are healthy. If we can
To achieve this, I won’t feel bad if I sell Ouchi, not to mention that Ouchi is only temporarily used to produce armor for frontline soldiers to protect themselves. If we produce more armor here, the brave soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can
Less blood will be shed! If we produce a pair of armor earlier, the soldiers will be able to kill the enemy sooner. This is the overall situation."
After being complained by the emperor, Wang Chengen's mood was not affected, but he became even more passionate. Because the words the emperor just said to him moved him again.
Some time ago, Lao Wang was very worried about the emperor not going to court and not managing politics. He thought that the emperor he had grown up watching might have been beaten and corrupted. But now, he no longer has such worries. There are various signs.
It shows that the emperor has not given up on the Ming Dynasty, nor has he given up on striving to govern, but he has just changed his methods. Since the emperor has not fallen, as a die-hard supporter of imperial power, he naturally has to work hard to do his job well.
After Wang Chengen is dealt with, there is another figure in the palace who also needs to be dealt with. That is Zhu Youjian's official empress Zhou. Theoretically speaking, she is the serious owner of the inner palace. Since time traveling, Zhu Youjian has seen that Zhou's face is very good.
Young, she usually lives alone in her dormitory. Now it seems that she can't escape. She must have a good talk with Mrs. Zhou to mobilize her enthusiasm for work.
Walking into Kunning Palace uneasily, Zhu Youjian felt uneasy all over his body, as if he was trying to deceive someone else's wife's feelings.
"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly arrive at my palace? You didn't send anyone to preach the message earlier." When Zhou saw her husband suddenly appearing, she was still very happy in her heart. Although she said why she didn't notify her earlier, her body was not.
He greeted Zhu Youjian honestly and took him into his palace. Outside Kunning Palace, the emperor and the queen had to maintain their dignity and were not allowed to have any intimate movements. But when they arrived at the queen's own palace, the etiquette was not the same.
Not so particular anymore.
"Since Brother Xang went south, I have been thinking about coming to the palace to see you. I guess you have been in a very bad mood recently, right? It's just that the state affairs have been too corrupt during this period, and I really don't have time to worry about family affairs, but I have neglected you.
, I feel very ashamed."
"Your Majesty, the state affairs are in ruins. You should put state affairs first! If I can't share my worries, I am already very incompetent. How dare you bother Your Majesty to put aside state affairs and take care of the love of your children!" Mrs. Zhou naturally knew that her husband was busy these days.
What, although he didn't come to his own palace, he didn't go to other people's palaces either, so Zhou didn't have much resentment about being left out.
"Have Brother Hong written to you since he went south? I don't have time to care about you, and he's not around, so it's a pain for you."
"Brother Hong, I have received two letters. However, the imperial post road is not smooth and communication is not very convenient. After he arrived in Nanjing, he got used to it quite well. Except for the dilapidation of the palace, everything else was fine. The emperor's sister-in-law has made arrangements
People have started to renovate the palace, and it is expected to be ready next year or the next year."
After listening to Mrs. Zhou talking about the prince's affairs for a while, Zhu Youjian turned the topic to asking the queen to lead the maids to make armors. Mrs. Zhou naturally agreed to this matter. In her opinion, this was
The best way to share the worries of your husband.
After talking about the business, Zhu Youjian was not embarrassed to leave directly, but stayed and had dinner with Mr. Zhou.
After dinner, when he got up and was about to leave, Mr. Zhou suddenly said: "Your Majesty, won't you stay in Kunning Palace tonight?" Theoretically, only the Queen is the legitimate wife of He, so staying in Kunning Palace is not a problem.
It's as troublesome as summoning other concubines.
Facing Zhou's expectant eyes and tone, Zhu Youjian felt that his legs were weak all of a sudden! Which one should I promise? Or which one should I promise?
