Chapter 201: Fishing-style Crying Reform Law
You can't afford to buy it, you can't afford it in this life.
The list of ordnance that Qu Tutong took out, without the clap of His Majesty Chairman Datang, who would dare to decide to take it down easily?
Just buy a few large items, and not counting the various ammunition that needs to be equipped, it is estimated that the "Datang Empire Limited Liability Group Company" will go bankrupt, right?
Chai Shao was very shrewd in discovering the secrets of these ordnance.
Take that kind of "King Kong ironclad car" as an example, although its price itself is very expensive.
But even more expensive is the kind it carrys, which is a chain crossbow that automatically winds itself by resetting the gears!
If this kind of battlefield killing weapon is not installed, the price of the King Kong ironclad car is probably two or three times more expensive than the kind of bus operated by the Taiji Imperial Capital.
The trap crossbow is more expensive because of the high level of precision it fires, as it requires a high degree of precision to prevent jamming.
Therefore, this kind of crossbow arrows with exactly the same specifications and the same size and thickness can only be processed by those magical "Tiangong lathes" of [Tiangongmen].
The price of making a standard military heavy arrow is about 20 to 40 yuan.
The special short arrows used in the crossbow have no feathers and no arrowheads, and only a sharp short-headed arrow tip is added to the body of the arrow about a foot long, so it only costs 5 yuan a piece.
It seems to be cheap, but the automatic winding of the crossbow depends on the operation and drive of the diamond armored car, and the faster you run, the faster you shoot.
One breath (2 seconds) can shoot five bolts, and a 1000 bolt box is worth five shots, but 50 breaths can shoot empty!
Eight crossbows on a King Kong ironclad car were launched at the same time, and a battle was afraid that millions of crossbow arrows would be launched, and the ones that flew out were all Kaiyuan Tongbao!
That is to say, although this kind of King Kong ironclad car is powerful, it is too expensive to use, not counting the cost of maintenance and repair, and it is really affordable and unaffordable.
Li Jing, as the general manager of the marching army, has a transmission card that can communicate with His Majesty instantly, otherwise the previous advance bill of 50 million yuan did not have the emperor's permission, and he dared to sign it without authorization?
Therefore, the list of these ordnance must be more detailed on the imperial case of His Majesty the Emperor, but why was there no order to purchase them?
It's not because of poverty! The emperor's family has no money to spare!
If it weren't for the 10,000 dragoons, it would be a killer weapon to suppress the millions of civilian mercenaries in the future.
I'm afraid that the previous advance bill of 50 million yuan, the emperor didn't dare to let Li Jing sign it.
Li Jing knew in his heart that if the money was not repaid, it was estimated that the emperor would be cheeky and throw him out as a substitute for the dead ghost to repay the debt, and the crime must be to sign the bill indiscriminately without authorization!
Facing the expectant eyes of Chai Shao and other old comrades-in-arms, Li Jing could only smile wryly and sign another advance bill.
If there are more lice, it is not itchy, and if there are too many debts, there is no difference between owing 50 million guan and owing 10,000 guan? Emperor Wuji can still kill him Lao Li twice?
However, the main thing purchased this time was to prepare a small amount of reconnaissance eagles, clairie mirrors, communication cards, development maps, enemy detection compasses and other items for the generals.
As for the tactical backpack, it is a low-profile simplified version that has been streamlined and streamlined, and the price has been pushed to the lowest level...... Otherwise, how much money would it cost to arm the tens of thousands of troops on the left and right?
In this world, money is more expensive than life!
Except for a few pieces of equipment that can decide the outcome of the battle, I'm afraid the emperor is more willing to pile up human lives than buying expensive Tiangong army backups to protect the soldiers!
This situation was also expected by Bai Yuqi.
Because the "diamond ironclad car" is just a conceptual product that has completed the theoretical design in the laboratory, and has not even tried to manufacture a sample.
Under the existing conditions, Bai Yuqi could not solve the problem of the wear of the bowstring of the crossbow and the jamming of the crossbow when the crossbow bolt was fired, this thing was only theoretically feasible, and it was not practical at all.
So after designing this kind of chariot with a big brain, Bai Yuqi marked it with a crazy price and hung it at the top of the ordnance list, as a carrot to tempt the Tang monarchs.
Not to mention that Li Shimin couldn't spend this unjust money to buy it, even if he wanted to buy it, Bai Yuqi didn't have it in stock.
In the war of the cold weapon era, this kind of heavy ordnance was not used at all.
The reason why it was hung out was purely to subtly change the concept of the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers, and to fill in the lives of soldiers at every turn, so as to pave the way for the future elite army policy.
can use various advanced systems and equipment of the [Wujimen] system, and take the initiative to make changes with the envy and jealousy of the Tang monarchs, Bai Yuqi will not be stupid enough to forcibly promote the reform of the Tang Dynasty, he calls this the "fishing gluttonous reform method".
This batch of military purchases from the left and right Wuwei will be handed over to the arsenal in Yuanlou Town for production.
After all, a large amount of leather was pulled back from the grassland, which was just used to process various tactical backpacks and defensive leather armor ordered by the left and right military guards, and by the way, it promoted the standardized development of the Tang Army.
The equipment of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty is all self-provided, and no one's equipment is exactly the same.
If you have the money, you can get all the weapons, armor and mounts, and you can become the elite soldiers in the army, and you can be incorporated into the cavalry army, and the treatment is also the best.
The poorer ones wore linen clothes and carried blades into battle, and naturally they could only serve as infantrymen, and they did not look much stronger than the peasant uprising.
As soon as the picture of the ancient army appeared in later movies, even the soldiers were wearing a full set of standard armor, which was purely imagined by the director for the sake of a good picture.
In ancient times, it was not certain whether the low-level officers could be equipped with such a complete set of equipment, let alone the government soldiers who brought their own dry food.
The dignified Tang Dynasty strong army, a formation is like a beggar gang meeting.
How can Bai Yuqi, who is accustomed to the army of clones in later generations and is used to obsessive-compulsive disorder by the country, endure it?
Therefore, promoting the military reform of Datang has become one of Bai Yuqi's secondary plans.
It's not to improve the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, it's just to make the obsessive-compulsive self less bad.
Because of the intervention of the Mercenary Guild, the Tang Army's ability to act has been greatly improved.
The dragoon guard arrived in Yunzhou on the third day, and when he heard that there was a private mercenary group with a big deal on the Yunzhou side, he took the initiative to gather on the Yunzhou side.
How else to say that ancient warfare was slow-paced?
Bai Yuqi and the others have all arrived at the left and right Wuwei camps for several days, and it is said that the Turkic army that rushed to support Liang Shidu has not seen a shadow yet.
Bai Yuqi, who was depressed in the temporary camp, couldn't hold back and ran out for a walk.
As soon as I inquired, I found out that the Turkic army was still driving cattle and sheep with the army, so it was natural that it could not get up quickly in this snowy weather.
But think about it, if you don't move with cattle and sheep, what do the Turks eat?
It is no wonder that in ancient times, a battle had to be fought for months or even years, and time was wasted on the road, which should be placed in the future generations, that is, a matter of pressing a button to be settled.
