I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 625 Eccentric?

Liu Baohe probably guessed Li Tian's embarrassment, so he hurried forward and said,
"The dukes of the two kingdoms are serious. Your Majesty has only designed this thing in the last few days. These are already all the stocks in the arsenal. It is already very reluctant to meet the needs of the new army.
It may take a long time to provide all the troops of Ming Dynasty. "

These words inevitably disappointed the two of them. Only the new army could use such a good thing, which made them very envious.

Zhu Yong bluntly said to Li Tian with some grievances,
"Your Majesty, you can't be too partial to the new army. It's okay to give such good-looking military uniforms to the new army. After all, they don't have more armor, so we can understand to some extent. But such a good thing as military shovel is not good for Daming. All the armies are useful,
You can't favor one another like this anymore. "

I thought Zhang Fu thought the same way, but unexpectedly, he flicked the steel mouth of the military shovel lightly with his finger, then turned the weight again, and finally said to Zhu Yong,

"Old Zhu, don't embarrass Your Majesty. Do you know how much good steel is used for this small military shovel, and how much iron is used for the whole body."

Zhu Yong was only concerned with researching the purpose of this thing before, and did not study these things in detail.

I don't care much,

"This little thing is so big, how much material can it use?"

Now not only Zhang Fu shook his head and smiled wryly, but even Li Tian and Liu Baohe also wryly smiled.

Zhang Fu pointed to the sharp edge and said to Zhu Yong,

"If my guess is correct, within two fingers of the edge of this military shovel is high-quality stainless steel. Counting all of them, it would cost about a catty and a half at least."

"Old Zhu, you know that the best weapons in our soldiers' hands are just a little bit of good steel embedded in the blade. The steel used for a military shovel is enough to make a good knife for three soldiers."

Zhu Yong actually understood the meaning of what Zhang Fu said at this time, but he was still not willing to give up such a good thing just like that.

still argues,
"So what, why don't we allow our soldiers to have more good things on them!"

Seeing his rascal appearance, Zhang Fu could only shake his head and smile wryly, and continued to say to him,

"This kind of high-quality fine steel, I believe that the arsenal's annual output is very limited, and it is already stretched to supply the new army. If it is supplied to the 200 million army of the Ming Dynasty, where do you ask the arsenal to get so much fine steel? .”

Now that he has spoken, Zhu Yong has no reason to continue rascally.

He reluctantly threw away the military shovel in his hand, and said to Li Tian in frustration,

"Hey, Your Majesty, Lao Zhu, I'm not an unreasonable person, but your good things like left and right are all for the new army. Lao Zhang and I are our own people, so it's okay to feel uncomfortable.
But if someone else finds out about it, they might gossip about it behind their backs. "

Zhu Yong's words sound rough, but they are not unreasonable.

The so-called don't worry about the few but the uneven, if everyone is the same, others will naturally have nothing to say, but if all the good things are given to the new army, it will inevitably make other soldiers feel cold.

Why didn't Li Tian know about this situation, but what could he do? He wanted to convert all the troops in the country into modern infantry at once, but he had to have so many good things in his hands to do it.

The [-] new army is a benchmark and a model for the new army of Ming Dynasty. Only by doing well can more people support the birth of this army.

If Li Tian doesn't arrive, he will temporarily shift all resources to this side.

Before waiting, Li Tian explained to Zhu Yong, but Zhang Fu patted him on the shoulder first and said,

"Old Zhu, you don't need to eat the radish first and worry about it. When did His Majesty miss the decision? The reason why the new army is called the new army is because everything about him is new. There is nothing wrong with giving them.

Besides, how about you, old Zhu, one by one of my soldiers, isn't the new army counted as your soldiers? "

Zhang Fu's words seemed to suddenly open a new window for Zhu Yong, making him suddenly enlightened.

He giggled silly,
"If you don't tell me, I almost forgot that this new army is as good as my old Zhu. After all, it's not all ours. It's my old Zhu who is confused, confused!"

The corners of Li Tian's mouth curled up slightly, expressing his satisfaction. He didn't delve into whether Zhu Yong was really pretending to be confused, or really confused.

Although the real generals of the new army have not been confirmed yet, from the current point of view, both Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu have already developed a sense of identification with the new army, which is a rare good thing for Li Tian.

If they had kept the Xinjun and other Ming troops very clear, Li Tian would not have dared to hand over the Xinjun to them.

Next, they visited again, the new military kettle, the new ammunition bag, the new sleeping bag, and the new backpack.

There is also a convenient military ration newly developed by the Tiangong Institute in cooperation with the arsenal.

These things are all individual equipment, covering almost all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation for a soldier in the new army.

Not only thoughtful, but also so meticulous that no one can find any faults.

Although Zhu Yong has changed his inner thoughts, he still feels passionate about these things.

"They are all good things. A soldier who has these things, even if he leaves the base camp for ten or eight days, doesn't have to worry about them dying of starvation, thirst or freezing.

Your Majesty, these designs of yours are simply too exquisite, so wonderful that I don't even know what words to use to describe it, Lao Zhu. "

Li Tian smiled and said,
"Didn't the British Lord say earlier that the new army needs a new look, and although these things are just for fun, they can greatly improve a soldier's combat effectiveness.

You don't have to be too envious. When the production capacity of the arsenal continues to expand in the future, I believe that one day, all soldiers in Ming Dynasty will have a set of these things. "

Zhu Yong has learned a lot today, and almost everything here can open his eyes, making him amazed and envious.

He seemed to be able to imagine how the military power of the entire Ming Dynasty would increase after using these things in the future.

Compared with the mindless excitement on his side, Zhang Fu's considerations are much more profound.

He made a simple estimate, not counting the most expensive matchlock gun in the hands of the new army, just the military uniform plus these miscellaneous equipment, at least it would cost more than ten taels of silver.

Distributed to each soldier, it is equivalent to investing in each new army at 30 taels of silver.
