Zhuge Liang was appointed with full power much earlier than Li Bin, and Wang Yu delegated power so thoroughly that even Zhuge Liang himself was surprised. Why was the lord so relieved of him? He often couldn't find anyone to report progress to him.
, found the person, and the other person seemed very impatient.
"My lord, isn't it just a piece of armor? Are you looking at it over and over again? Aren't all the craftsmen ready to get it? Isn't there going to be armor in the future?"
Wang Yu's obsession with armor makes Zhuge Liang very puzzled. There is no comparison between that kind of dead thing and the regulations and regulations in his hand. The former is only useful in battle formations at most, while the latter is related to big men.
The inheritance that lasts for eternity, which one is more important?
At this moment, the regret in Zhuge Liang's heart became more and more intense. He regretted that he was accidentally deceived and boarded this pirate ship. He couldn't even think about getting off.
"Stop talking in layman's terms, Kong Ming!" When Wang Yu heard this, he became anxious. He stood up, held up the armor and put it under Zhuge Liang's nose, and said loudly and sadly: "Is this an ordinary armor? Look at this.
It's clearly plate armor, plate armor! Who said our Chinese ancestors were incapable?"
"..." Zhuge Liang was speechless. What is plate armor but not plate armor? In the final analysis, it is not armor? As for the ancestors of China... Has anyone ever said that they are not powerful?
How did he know that Wang Yu's heartache came from two thousand years later?
"This is plate armor. No wonder the Que family can make armor faster than others, and the quality is better than ordinary ones." Wang Yu touched the armor while speaking, as if he was touching the skin of his beloved woman...
Zhuge Liang didn't know why he made such a strange metaphor, but this feeling really gave him goosebumps.
On the other hand, Zhao Yun and others on the side did not take it seriously. Although the expressions on their faces were not as exaggerated as Wang Yu's, they were still very encouraging. From Wang Yu's words and a series of experiments conducted successively, the generals had already learned about this kind of
I got to know the armor with a slightly peculiar shape.
The plate armor Wang Yu mentioned is very different from the fish scale armor and pierced armor popular in the army, but it is somewhat similar to the Mingguang armor.
Fish scale armor is made up of scaly iron sheets. Among all armors, its defensive power ranks first, as well as the difficulty and cost of casting. The principles of tie armor and fish scale armor are similar, and they are made of strips of iron sheets tied together.
It has relatively poor cost and defense. It is the most commonly installed armor.
Mingguang armor is a variant of fish scale armor. Its main feature is a large circular or oval deck on the chest and back. This deck is polished and has a dazzling reflection in the sun, just like a mirror. Wear Mingguang armor on the battlefield.
.Due to the irradiation of the sun, it will emit a dazzling "bright light", hence the name.
The Que family's armor is quite similar to the Mingguang Armor, but it is more complete than the Mingguang Armor. It is made up of pieces of deck connected together. The upper body is made up of two pieces, the front and back, which are tied together with ropes on the sides; then the arm guards and leg guards.
, span protector, neck protector. They are all the same model.
The defensive power of this kind of armor, which Wang Yu calls plate armor, is also not as good as that of fish scale armor. The latter is made up of superimposed scales, and an attacking weapon must penetrate at least two or three layers of armor before it can hurt the person wearing it. Except for
Apart from the high cost and heavy weight of casting armor, there are almost no other disadvantages.
However, the defensive power of plate armor is stronger than that of pierced armor. The latter is made of iron sheets tied together, and the defensive power of the armor is no worse than that of plate armor. However, there are gaps between the armor pieces, so the defensive power is reduced. However, the weight of pierced armor
Lower than plate armor.
As for the Mingguang Armor, this kind of armor is specially used by generals, and basically no one will equip it in the army, so there is no meaning in comparison.
Generally speaking, the performance of plate armor is between that of fish scale armor and pierced armor, but the cost of casting is not much less than that of fish scale armor. The technology inheritance of the Que family dates back thousands of years, and they have hidden the technology for thousands of years.
It was very tight, and not only unknown to the outside world, but also somewhat detached from the outside world. As a result, the technology of the year was almost completely preserved.
Pure plate armor did not arouse the interest of Zhao Yun and others, but Wang Yu said that as long as someone could make this kind of armor, he would have a way to improve the craftsmanship and make the casting of this kind of armor more trouble-free and labor-saving than pierced armor.
This is amazing!
As a military general, who doesn’t like strong armor and strong military strength? Everyone knows that it is easier to win this way, why can’t it be done? It’s just a matter of cost. Iron itself is a very precious material, and it is not easy to refine, but casting iron into armor
More expensive.
Even in the current Qingzhou, there are only two truly heavy-armed troops, Wang Yu's Fiery Iron Cavalry and Xu Huang's Destroying Front Battalion. It's not that Wang Yu doesn't want to expand the coverage of the armor, the problem is that he can't do it because of the cost of doing so.
Too big.
If the manufacturing process of plate armor can really be improved as Wang Yu said, then within three years, Qingzhou's armor fielding rate will surely increase several times, and it will not be difficult to build an armored force of 10,000 people.
Before the Battle of Maling, when everyone heard that Que announced that he had two thousand armored soldiers, their expressions changed. If there were tens of thousands of armored soldiers, who among all the heroes in the world would dare to show his strength? It is really exciting to think about it!
As for how to improve the craftsmanship, no one cares. Anyway, the master said it can be done, so is there anything to doubt?
"Ahem, lord, it's better to leave the matter of the armor alone first."
Zhuge Liang interrupted everyone's thoughts, spread his hands and said: "The problem now is that Que Xuan has entered the game, but for other powerful people, the so-called contribution is not attractive enough. It is just a title, and it is still a false name.
It cannot be hereditary, there is no fiefdom, and it cannot be exempted from sin... What is the use of this? What are the benefits you promised?"
"There will be benefits, Kong Ming. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Que Xuan isn't even in a hurry. Why are you so anxious?" Wang Yu replied without even looking back.
Zhuge Liang stamped his feet and said bitterly: "It's not that Liang is in a hurry. The plan is progressing so smoothly. Isn't it that you said that if there is hope, we should strive to achieve full success?"
"I know, but..." Wang Yu finally turned around and shrugged: "The benefits can't be realized now. If you say it, you will only make people laugh. You should think of a way to do the best under the current conditions.
All right."
"Can't fulfill it? Are you just making people laugh?" Zhuge Liang frowned, thoughtfully. For a moment, he slapped his right hand on the palm of his left hand and said in a voiceless voice: "Lord, your benefit is not the so-called overseas development, right?"
Wang Yu chuckled and said: "Kong Ming is really smart, you have guessed all this."
"This, this..." Zhuge Liang finally understood why the teacher often said that although this lord was very magical, he often made people laugh and cry.
The so-called overseas development is a joke in the eyes of the world. If this is included among the benefits, I really don’t know how much ridicule it will attract. Anyway, the new policy must not include this item in advance, otherwise Qingzhou’s credibility will immediately drop significantly.
, the stabilization of Xuzhou has completely become a dead letter.
After sighing a few times, Zhuge Liang suddenly thought of another thing: "You sent the prisoners of the Taishan bandits to Donglai before, and then asked Que Xuan for his soldiers, wouldn't it be the same..."
"Yes." Wang Yu admitted frankly: "It depends on the time. With Ziyi's temper, it is not ordinary to make him stay still. Now, there must be war in Sanhan."
, I estimate that Ziyi will need reinforcements soon. There are many mountains on the peninsula, wouldn't it be a good idea to send bandit soldiers to him?"
Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes and was completely speechless.
Taishi Ci has only about 200 people in total, and there are ten times as many bandits as them. If the bandits are sent to him as reinforcements, is this going to harm him or help him? This overseas development plan is really getting more and more complicated.
It's getting more and more ridiculous. There are also Que Xuan's soldiers. They are all believers, and they are the kind with more fanatical beliefs. Let them go overseas? What use can they be put to?
The teacher was right. Sometimes, the lord's chaos can't be ignored, and it should be settled according to the normal routine first. Zhuge Liang began to think about how to make good use of Quexuan's breakthrough with the existing conditions.
Seeing Zhuge Liang's expression, Wang Yu also had a clear understanding of the young man's thoughts.
However, for the so-called overseas expansion, the most suitable ones are not the regular army, but criminals and believers. This has been verified in history, and it is not my own original creation.
The bandits captured in Fulong Valley are all long-standing bandits, and their banditry has been deeply rooted in their bones. They are not suitable for anything, and they have to be careful about their escape. It is easy to kill them, but they are also Han people after all, and they massacre foreigners.
, Wang Yu has no mental disorder, but he cannot attack Han people, even criminals.
Simply let them go to sea. Anyway, when they get overseas, there is no ship, and they have nowhere to run. Although there are not many people around Taishi Ci, and he is not good at strategizing, he is after all a famous general in ancient times, and he cannot control thousands of bandits.
easy?
When the bandits learned their taste in the colonial war, they refused to come back. The word colonization is always accompanied by blood and barbarity. Let the bandits take the lead, and the powerful will follow up in large numbers.
It couldn't be more appropriate.
It’s just that the reasons for this are not clear to outsiders, so Wang Yu can only keep silent and make a fortune. Anyway, there will always be a day when the truth comes out, and when the time comes, are you afraid that the powerful will not follow suit?
"My lord, my lord..." Zhuge Liang was about to leave, but he bumped into Pang Tong who was rushing towards the door.
He rubbed his sore forehead and asked in surprise: "Brother Shiyuan? Do you... have military connections?"
Pang Tong wanted to help Zhuge Liang at first, but the latter was very diligent and independent, which made Pang Tong unable to intervene, so he simply asked Wang Yu for the job of military counselor. He came in a hurry, obviously he had
Condition.
"Exactly." Pang Tong nodded to his friend, turned to Wang Yu, and said solemnly: "My lord, I have received a letter from Qi County. Liu Bei's army has arrived in Pei County and is confronting the Taishan Army across the water!" (To be continued)
