The rise of the prince

Chapter 399 New Army Cavalry
When they arrived at the small workshop outside the city, the co-workers were already waiting. When they saw them coming, they immediately came up to say hello with a smile on their faces. Now, Yupan, the foreman, is the noble person they eat, and everyone wants to please everyone. Some people quietly deliver eggs home, Meat delivery.

But he asked his son to return it. He said his sister told him that it would be difficult to do things after collecting these things.

In addition to three large sheds, this small workshop also has a few big pots for cooking bamboo, fences for drying, more than a dozen knives and saws for chopping bamboo, and ropes for threading bamboo tubes. Regardless of the things, the labor and materials for building the workshop cost a total of no less than a hundred guan, all of which were paid by her sister.

Not everyone can do this guy, and the family doesn't have much money, so they can't do it at all.

Looking at his son who was surrounded by everyone to please him, Uncle Yu was happy, but he couldn't get used to it for a while, how could they ever be masters.

"When will you go back and meet your parents?" By the pond in the small courtyard, with the moon reflected in the water, Li Xingzhou gently hugged Shiyu's slender waist and said.

Shiyu held his hand around his waist: "No, there are too many things recently, and you can't finish those things."

"Don't worry, it's your parents, you haven't told them that you are married to the palace, have you?"

"The devil will marry you!" Shiyu elbowed him.Li Xingzhou said with a smirk: "Everyone is here, can they run away?" He tightened his hands.

"Little demon girl." Li Xingzhou said.

"Big bastard." Not to be outdone, Shiyu raised her chin and answered.

Li Xingzhou sat down in the gazebo, and put the girl on his lap: "Recently, Wangfu Shipping has newly opened, and a large amount of business has been recorded. It's hard work, little fairy."

"You're welcome, big bastard."

Li Xingzhou smiled: "Are we like-minded?"

"You stink, but this girl smells good." Under the moon, Shiyu smiled like a flower.

"Really, let me smell it." Li Xingzhou said that he was going to be a hooligan.

"You two are so excited." A sudden voice from outside the courtyard interrupted him.

Shiyu jumped up from his legs in a panic, Li Xingzhou was also taken aback for a moment, and looked up to see the smiling Qifang standing at the gate of the small courtyard.

Seeing her, Shi Yu's expression turned ugly: "I thought who it was, isn't this Mrs. Wang!" She deliberately bit the word Mrs. Wang very hard.

Qifang smiled: "I've seen shopkeeper Yu, is this talking to the prince? But look at your blushing faces"

"Oh, so what." Not to be outdone, Shiyu simply hugged his arm, but her face became more rosy.

Li Xingzhou quickly waved his hand to make them stop: "Okay, okay, what's the matter with Qifang?"

"I'm sorry to interrupt the prince's good business, but there is something in the workshop. The two thousand sets of new iron armor that the prince wants, the first batch of [-] sets, has been completed. When I passed the riverside workshop, Tie Niu asked me to report to you. Tomorrow morning You can take someone to fetch it." Qifang said.

"It's just that the little girl doesn't understand. I have never heard of those equipments, and I have never seen them before. I also commanded the Xiang army. I don't understand that those things are really invulnerable as the craftsmen said?"

Li Xingzhou smiled confidently: "If you don't believe me, try it yourself and you will know.",

"Okay!"

"I'm just kidding."

"I am serious."

"."

The new army is [-], of which Li Xingzhou is preparing to equip [-] cavalry.

Plate armored cavalry was still active in the European battlefield until the Napoleonic Wars. It is an indispensable backbone force, and European countries are training it.But the plate armor is simplified, only the overall breastplate, leg armor, hand guards, etc., not the full-body plate armor like the [-]th century, which pays more attention to mobility.

Now the Wangfu Iron and Steel production surplus, just in time to prepare the cavalry.

Li Xingzhou also asked Guan Zhong to take charge of the test. The breastplate armor made of tool steel such as Xiaogang, as long as thirty steps away, the Wangfu Suifa Gun Model [-] also began to fail to penetrate.

In fact, the same is true in history. The rise of full-body plate armor in the [-]th century was largely due to the newly emerging firearms.The firearms at that time were useless against the knight master in full plate armor.

In the ancient armor metallurgy masterpiece "Knight and the Wind Furnace", through the study of metallography, the data is given, regardless of the angle of force, it takes 272J of energy to break through the plate armor of two millimeters of medium carbon steel and the inner lining, when a sword and an ax attack The average energy is around 60 to 130J.

A direct bullet requires 825J of energy to penetrate, but the initial energy of musket bullets in the 1300th century is only [-]J. Excluding the loss of air resistance, unless it is attached to the face of a knight, the plate armor of two millimeters of medium carbon steel has a safety margin. To defend against firearms.

However, the best firearm at that time was only the matchlock gun. It was not comparable to Wang Fu's Sui-fire Gun Type [-], which had undergone three major modifications.

Thirty steps, about 50 meters, at this distance, the plate armor has no safety margin for the sudden firing of the Wangfu.

However, there are no other places other than the palace, and it is more than enough to deal with low-kinetic weapons such as bows and crossbows of this era.

Of course, not all of the 500 cavalry were light plate armored cavalry. Li Xingzhou planned to equip [-] heavy armored full-body plate armored cavalry, with both horses and horses in armor, in case of emergency.

Another 500 light armored cavalry, cavalry with plate armor breastplate, leg armor, arm armor, horses do not wear armor for flexibility.Used to shock and chase scattered enemies after saturated fire strikes.

The first batch of [-] sets of plate armor were all light plate armor, with only breastplate, leg armor, and gauntlets.

The new army will soon be equipped with the new army uniforms, and those heavy Jingguo-style infantry armor and armor can be stored in the warehouse, after all, these are precious treasures.

Immediately, Li Xingzhou's head grew dizzy again. By mid-September, he estimated that he would be heading north, after all, the emperor asked him to finish his work before the year.

Jiangzhou is not far from Yuan, and it will take more than a day to travel by water. If the boat from the Wangfu is estimated to arrive in a day.

But the problem is that once he starts Jiangzhou's affairs, he will definitely not be able to run to the capital without incident.

Now there are only Di Zhi and Yan Shen in the new army, and Zhao Si is the head of the General Armament Department. He can be entrusted to guide the new army's outfit change and use of new weapons. Even the artillery calibration table is slowly measured by him. of.

But even so, the manpower is still not enough.

Di Zhi is relatively calm and calm, handsome and talented, and he can take care of the Nine Thousand Musketeers if he is entrusted with him.

Yan Shen has made gunpowder and firearms, and is very familiar with mechanical principles, so it is no problem for him to manage artillery.

But he is not there, who will train and lead the remaining cavalry is a big problem.

Ji Chunsheng can, and has that ability, but he is an envoy of martial arts, and he is responsible for protecting the imperial city.

Qi Rui can do it, but it is a pity that he died in battle. If he is alive, Qi Rui's horsemanship can definitely lead the cavalry.

Thinking about it, Li Xingzhou couldn't help but think of Wei Yubai. His own riding skills were taught by Wei Yubai. He had seen Wei Yubai's riding skills before. Come the good cavalry.

It's a pity that she lives thousands of miles away in Guanbei
Before going north, he still has a lot of things to arrange, the biggest problem among them is the problem of talents.Talent, no matter what era is the most important resource.
