Wang Changde and Hua Shufeng, as well as some businessmen came to see Liu Pei off, and it was very lively for a while. Except for a few low-level officials and petty officials who had to be present when the troops were dispatched, no civil and military officials at all levels were present.

The civil servant felt that it was a big deal to see off a guard. The other generals were gloating, and they all felt that Liu Pei didn't have any good fruits to eat, so they were naturally too lazy.

After everyone greeted each other, Hua Shufeng stepped forward and said, "Brother Cong Yuxian, it's hard work!" I have here a sum of money that you have put together to buy military supplies on your way. This is a long time to go, you must be careful! ”

Liu Pei took the silver and said, "Brother don't worry, this foolish brother must be careful!" ”

Hua Shufeng said in a low voice: "I don't understand the war, it's just that the virtuous brother must remember that we still have business to do, and there is still Huitong World that has not done that!" ”

Liu Pei couldn't help but smile when she heard this. Since Liu Pei explained to him the wonderful use of the bank, Hua Shufeng has been bent on it, determined to achieve the world, and even other businesses are not too concerned! But this was exactly what Liu Pei wanted, so he didn't say much.

Hua Shufeng shook his head and retreated, Wang Changde came up and held Liu Pei's hand and said, "The virtuous son-in-law must be cautious and cautious when he goes on this expedition, and he must not rush forward." You must know that Bijiang and Yaer are still waiting for you at home! ”

Liu Pei said: "Please rest assured, Lord Yue! I'm going to be cautious. I will definitely return safely! ”

After saying that, Liu Pei saluted everyone, got on his horse, met the guards, and waved his hand to direct the team forward. Just under the gaze of everyone, he traveled far north.

Liu Pei prepared very comprehensively for this march. Nearly 100 carts are rubber-tyred carts. The amount of materials carried is large, and the running is brisk. There's everything in the cart. Tents, grain, dried vegetables, medicines and other supplies piled up the wagons high.

Liu Pei spent a lot of money to select more than 200 military and civilian husbands from the old village to be responsible for doing chores. These men were trained by the militia and knew how to obey orders. If it is a form crisis, it can also be used as a soldier temporarily.

Liu Pei also specially transferred two hundred cavalry from Yang Jingfa, all of whom were top players, and asked them to have two horses for one person, ready to be used as a night.

Liu

Pei's team joined the cavalry at a great distance from the city of Jinan. The reason why Liu Pei put the cavalry far away and rejoined was because he didn't want people to know that he had a cavalry. You must know that raising cavalry is much more expensive than raising infantry, and it will expose Liu Pei's family background.

And in the Ming Dynasty, mastering a cavalry was equivalent to mastering a mechanized army! With the current identity of Liu Pei, I really can't let people know! If he raised a hundred and ten cavalry, no one cared, but if the government knew that Liu Pei had a cavalry of more than 1,000 people, then I am afraid that the investigators would come first, and then the soldiers and horses of the encirclement and suppression would come!

After the two sides converged, Liu Pei ordered the soldiers to remove a large number of military uniforms from the carriage and ordered the soldiers to start dressing up. After all, in the land of the Ming Dynasty, it is more convenient to walk in the military uniform of the Ming army.

These uniforms are stored in the storeroom for ashes. Liu Pei saw that there were a lot of them, so he brought more than 3,000 sets in one go, which can basically guarantee one set per person. Anyway, I don't need money, so it's better to let my wife take it for nothing than to rot in the warehouse.

The soldiers put on their uniforms and lined up again. The postage looked at the neatly dressed soldiers, but it felt a little more majestic than before. After all, it turned out that the soldiers under his command were all wearing blue short shirts, and they always lacked a hint of military feeling.

The costumes of the Ming Dynasty soldiers were quite mighty. The soldiers mainly wear fat jackets, the system: "knee-length, narrow sleeves, cotton inside", the color is red, this kind of military uniform, the scientific name is "Mandarin Duck Battle Jacket", also known as "Red Fat Jacket". Knights often wore plackets in order to ride horses. Combat skulls are mostly made of copper and iron, and rarely leather.

The armor worn by the generals is also made of copper and iron, and the shape of the armor is mostly the "mountain" pattern, which is made precisely and worn lightly. The soldiers wore chain mail, and below the waist, they also wore iron mesh skirts and net pants, and their feet wore iron mesh boots.

Liu Pei watched the soldiers put on neat and uniform costumes, and in coordination with the soldiers' military posture, the army had an elite appearance. Seeing this, Liu Pei felt that the unified production of military uniforms should be put on the agenda.

Liu Pei initially thought that he would buy some camouflage uniforms from Hyundai and ship them over. Because he thinks it's hidden. But after he stayed in Daming for a long time, he found that it was not like that at all! Modern things are really not

It must be suitable for ancient times, because the methods of warfare in the two eras are fundamentally different.

In cold weapon combat, until the late stage of the queue to be shot, the soldiers on both sides do not need to hide at all! It's already face-to-face, gun-to-gun, what's the need for concealment? On the contrary, it is necessary to have a bright and neat uniform, so that soldiers can see their companions at all times. Under this premise, it would be better if the military uniform could be more powerful and intimidate the opponent!

As for the generals, it's even different! From the beginning of the Cold Weapon Age to modern times, communication on the battlefield has been very bad! Most of the soldiers are also illiterate, and the training is not lawful, so the soldiers' organization, discipline, and subjective initiative are relatively poor. Therefore, they need the officers to dress conspicuously, so that ordinary soldiers and junior officers can find their superiors in the first place.

Recommended, the book reading app I've been using recently, [Source Change Artifact] has many book sources, complete books, and fast updates!

In addition, the military rank system had not yet been implemented at that time, and if soldiers and officers were dressed the same, it would be impossible to distinguish which was a soldier and which was an officer, let alone effectively command the troops. Therefore, this requires the officers to dress conspicuously.

So from ancient times to the present, whether at home or abroad, the more senior the generals, the more they are dressed up in flowers! Think about Changshan Zhao Zilong, white horse and silver gun, plus a silver armor and white cloak, what a style on the battlefield!

When Li Shimin went into battle, he was also a golden helmet and golden armor. A red cape. The goal was to allow the soldiers to see them, to know that the officers and commanders were always with them, so that their morale would not collapse.

Even in the era of queuing to be shot, European armies also require military uniforms to be powerful and beautiful! And the more senior the officer, the more he is dressed like a peacock. Knowing that the smoothbore guns were slowly being replaced by rifled guns, and the neat and tight queues were replaced by skirmishers, the concealment function of the military uniform was put on the agenda.

Thinking of this, Liu Pei was thinking about what kind of military uniform to wear for the soldiers? Thinking about it, Liu Pei pondered that the military uniform is really not the most important, the most important key is leather boots!

Since in normal history, after China overthrew the Qing Dynasty and entered the Republic of China era, starting from the Beiyang Army, their military uniforms have been quite beautiful. But the only disappointment was that the soldiers were often wearing straw sandals or cloth shoes.
