Zhu Houxi packaged himself into a tin can, which is a pair of plate armor hammered out by a steam hammer, with different thicknesses, thickened key parts, and relatively thinner in other places, reducing the weight, so that the entire armor is controlled within thirty catties, plus the rest of the equipment, the total weight does not exceed forty-five catties.

Mongolian horses, which are hard-working and hard-working, can basically withstand this amount.

Of course, the premise is that it can't be too heavy, like the size of my father, without armor, he can also crush the war horse into a camel.

Fortunately, Zhu Houxi is not fat at all, even thin, and his armor is lined with light silk, which is lighter and more comfortable.

Zhu Houxi once wore the armor of his cousin Zhu Houzhao and knew what kind of burden Emperor Zhengde used to go to the battlefield...... So Zhu Houxi didn't believe the nonsense that his cousin was in poor health. Zhu Houzhao, who started practicing martial arts at a very young age and has proper nutrition, is simply a calf, otherwise he would not be able to kill the enemy in front of the formation.

Of course, Zhu Houxi also has his own armor, which is heavier than Zhu Houzhao's.

He had to try to straighten his back. I don't dare to relax at any time, for fear of being bent.

And now the plate armor worn on the body is half lighter, and the whole body is a lot more relaxed, the most important thing is a large piece, a large piece of plate armor, which is knocked out extremely smooth, glowing with metallic silver light, just like the gods descending to earth.

It's so powerful!

Zhu Houxi even couldn't wait, planning to hold a military parade to let people see his sassy and heroic appearance!

"Xiao Fugui, this thing won't be good-looking, won't it be useful?"

Wang Yue smiled, "Your Majesty just goes to the test, the minister is full of confidence." "Wang Yue is not bragging, these large pieces of plate armor are all made of stainless steel.

In particular, the surface of the armor is extremely smooth and slightly curved.

When an arrow hits, it is easy to slip, which is similar to the inclined armor of a tank.

Zhu Houxi didn't doubt Wang Yue's words, but the test still had to be tested...... The results waited for the test to end, and the results sent made Zhu Houxi stunned.

The new plate armor has one and a half times the protection capacity of the old armor!

Stronger portions, better defense!

What does this mean?

Zhu Houxi is not a fool either, "Xiao Fugui, if our cavalry is prepared with plate armor, don't you have to care about the Mongols?" ”

Wang Yue nodded happily, "Not only that, our plate armor is made by the Mongols no matter what, this is the absolute technical advantage, from now on, in the face of the steppe cavalry, we are condescending, dimensionality reduction strike!" ”

Although Buchi was defeated and half of the Mongols were subdued, the Ming monarchs and ministers knew that so far, they did not have the ability to pursue and destroy the Tartars on the steppe.

Anyone with a little military common sense knows that it was not until the machine gun was equipped that the cavalry withdrew from the stage of history.

In the era of arquebuses, it was not possible to defeat cavalry with firearms alone...... There is actually a lack of rigor in this statement, it is true that the cavalry was eliminated by machine guns.

But not any cavalryman, who had the courage to charge against firearms.

The cavalry should also be divided into old and new.

For example, the new cavalry equipped with sabers, firearms, and plate armor, with strong discipline and restraint, can cooperate with each other, charge collectively, regardless of sacrifice, and move forward bravely, is definitely enough to resist crushing, any ancient elite cavalry.

Dushanbao Horse Farm has more than 200,000 horses of all kinds.

Soon the Great Song Dynasty will not lack war horses, and if they have good equipment and spend some effort on training, such cavalry will be able to beat me violently.

This is the power of the Central Plains Dynasty!

Because only the Central Plains Dynasty can establish a professional cavalry at any cost, because once the professional cavalry is formed, the so-called grassland controller is not worth mentioning at all.

One Han and five hu, that's not blowing.

The brilliant achievements of the Han and Tang dynasties have proven everything.

Zhu Houxi seemed to see countless Ming iron horsemen wearing plate armor and charging bravely, they shook the sky and the earth, roaring, and the Tartars collapsed at the touch of a button, and were drowned by the Ming army like heavenly soldiers and generals......

Thinking of this, Zhu Houxi couldn't help but tremble all over his body, and danced excitedly.

At this time, someone asked very inappropriately: "Your Majesty, is this still a trick?" ”

Zhu Houxi gave Wang Yue a big roll of his eyes, "Can't you pretend to be confused?" ”

Wang Yue, hehe.

It's very spiritual.

"You're getting bolder now...... I'm too lazy to meet you like you...... But I tell you that you must give me 10,000 pairs of armor as soon as possible, and send them all, we can say anything, if we can't send them, I won't agree! ”

Wang Yue smiled happily, "Of course the armor is no problem, please pay a deposit first." ”

"Deposit?"

"That's right, in order to produce armor for His Majesty, the ministers have to buy equipment, hire people, and buy raw materials...... Even if these Qianchen come up with it, they can't do it! ”

Zhu Houxi's eyes rolled, it was obvious that Wang Yue was blackmailing!

"How much money do you want?

"Pay at least half upfront...... 500,000 taels! ”

"Five hundred thousand taels?"

Zhu Houxi screamed, "The surname is Wang, don't get an inch!" One hundred and twenty pairs of plate armor, why don't you go and rob it? ”

Wang Yue was very calm, "Your Majesty, the minister really didn't take advantage. I admit that this is much higher than the cost, and it is several times more expensive than the armor used today, but the thing is good! And there is also a development cost in this. ”

Zhu Houxi was puzzled, "What do you mean?" Do I have to pay for anything else? ”

Wang Yue explained with a smile, "Your Majesty, think about it, the ministers are in Xishan, gathering so many people, working day and night. Others don't talk about it, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy and very hard. ”

"Don't talk about the prince!" Zhu Houxi rudely interrupted Wang Yue's words and warned: "It's outrageous! How old is the prince, he is all in the fun! ”

"yes!" Wang Yue said calmly: "The crown prince is indeed observing now, but has Your Majesty thought about it, personally participated, witnessed with his own eyes, and achieved such a great success, what a lucky opportunity for His Highness to exercise!" To tell the truth, just for this practice, His Majesty gave his ministers one million taels or two million taels, which is not much! Really, it's worth it! ”

……

"Little ones, come here and send money!"

Wang Yue shouted at the top of his voice, and his tone was full of happiness...... Ever since he married his wife, Wang Yue sadly found that he had become poor.

Literally.

Sun Yu's family is strict, except for the normal Yulu, she does not allow Wang Yue to accept gifts, and the Wang family's property is also for her to deal with.

In Sun Yu's view, eggs and sea cucumbers are things that can fill the stomach, and radish and cabbage are not necessarily worse than bird's nest shark fin...... Wang Yue had nothing to say, he didn't know how his wife could think like this.

But Wang Yue chose to respect.

Without him, who would make the family a mother of two children!

But no matter how strict Sun Yu's restraints are, she can't stop her from having money.

For example, Wang Yue wrote an article and received a manuscript fee, which is justified.

And then there's the present...... Organize scientific research and make breakthroughs.

Everyone has a share, and if he doesn't receive it, it will make others uncomfortable.

"According to our negotiations with the steel plant and the gunpowder factory, Xishan Academy can get a 30% dividend. 10,000 pairs of plate armor, deducting various costs, the net profit is 400,000 taels, and it will be divided into 30%, which is 120,000 taels, half of which will be handed over to the school, and 60,000 taels can be divided. ”

Wang Yue looked at the students in the circle again, "What do you think should be divided?" ”

"This ...... It's all up to you. ”

Wang Yue smiled, "This is not a whim, but a rule in the future." Those who pick up the organization and play a major role can be divided into three. The rest are distributed sequentially. There is one point, although the amount of money is different, but all those who participate, have a share. We are a school, and we can't all be the same, nor can we take them all. Zhu Heng, in this time, you performed very well, put forward a lot of ideas, and followed the craftsmen to do it, and the steel factory praised you by name, saying that you are ingenious and very unusual. It can be divided into five thousand taels. Gao Gong can communicate with the craftsmen and persuade them to come up with unique skills to jointly complete the manufacture of the steam hammer, and the reward is 3,000 taels, and the rest Chen Yiqin, Hu Zongxian, and Yan Shifan and others will each be rewarded with 1,000 taels......"

Wang Yue kept naming names, and these talented young people were also frightened by the reward!

Thousands of taels, thousands of taels at every turn, who said that craftsmen have no way out.

This is not to their West Hill Academy!

Even if they are scholars, if they can't get famous and become officials in the future, it is also a good way to make some inventions.

Especially Zhu Heng, he got five thousand taels at once, which is enough to buy a smaller house in the inner city, is this the taste of happiness?

He was dazed, as if he was drunk.

But if you want to talk about excitement, no one can compare to Zhu Zaiji.

Although the little guy didn't do anything serious, after all, he pointed out the problem and ran back and forth, so he got eight hundred taels!

That's eight hundred taels of silver!

"Father, father! Whatever gift you want, the children will buy it for you! The kid made money! "The pride of the little one, needless to say, holds his chest high.

"Father, are you very happy? Proud? ”

Zhu Houxi looked at his son's expectant eyes, but his heart was bleeding.

"Father is very happy, very proud, you are such a good boy!"

"Then, do you want to go to the master to thank him, it's all his teaching and merit!" Zhu Zaiji said happily.

Zhu Houxi gritted his back molars and gurgled.

"I want to thank him, and my father wants to thank him well! Thanks in person! Zhu Houxi roared angrily: "Huang Jin, swing and caress Yuanbo's Mansion!" Go now! ”
