Chapter 131: Emergencies
Without a certain amount of communication, everyone has their own technology, so that the technology can not be mutually beneficial to complement each other, so that it is impossible to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses to continue to improve, which has an inhibiting effect on the development of technology.

But Gong Wulang's status and eating depend on this, forcing him to hand over his skills is undoubtedly equivalent to robbing him of his job, Li Huaitang pondered whether there could be a way to properly handle this matter.
With questions, Li Huaitang visited the place where the longbow was made.
Compared to the crossbow, the longbow is much simpler to make, and it saves a lot of time.
The longbow only needs to take a piece of hardwood as the bow body, and the key process is to bend the hardwood into shape, provided that the hardwood is not damaged. In order to make it quickly, Gong Goro used the fire taming process in a whimsical way. It is to roast the hardwood with a simmer to soften, then bend it a little with the help of external force, then leave it for a period of time, and then repeat the above steps until it is bent and formed, and finally process and wind, so that a longbow is made.
At the same time, the six materials needed for the compound bow are also in full swing. For strict craftsmen, these materials are divided into seasons, but where can Li Huaitang wait, first solve the problem.
Leftovers from bow and crossbow crafting, or unsuitable wood, are used to process feathered arrows and crossbow arrows. The crossbow arrows used in the strong crossbow are not common with the long-horned bow, the crossbow arrows are not equipped with feathers, and they are used for long-distance projectiles, and the effect of direct shooting is not very good, and the crossbow arrows used in different crossbows are not the same, and the crossbow arrows of the pedal crossbow are much longer than the arm crossbow. The (the fastest-updated) bow uses feathered arrows, and when the shaft is mounted with feathers, it can rotate the feathered arrows in flight when firing directly, thus maintaining their stability and accuracy.
The wide variety of arrows made Li Huaitang's brows furrow and wrinkle. The content of the war is far beyond his imagination, in addition to face-to-face fighting, it also involves support from all sides, such as swords, such as intelligence, etc., and wars are not a one-time deal, continuous long-term wars have higher requirements for continuous replenishment of baggage and accurate information acquisition, only the endless supply of logistics and timely, transparent and accurate intelligence is the king, and the final victory must rely on these uncrowned kings hiding behind to support. They are the core strength on the battlefield, unpretentious, difficult to attract attention, but indispensable.
The Armed Courtyard and "Suifeng" have become the left arm and right arm in Li Huaitang's mind, which is also the reason why he is extra concerned about the Armed Courtyard.
The armed courtyard also included the creation of swords and swords, leather armor and saddles. Due to the lack of sufficient blacksmiths, the quality of the swords produced is not very good, and it is better to use the captured ones. Therefore, until he found a suitable craftsman, Li Huaitang did not dare to use the Uzi steel obtained from Khorasan to make a scimitar.
It was the making of leather armor that piqued his interest. So far, the Ministry of Light can only use leather armor to make armor, and the iron armor is still in the conceptual stage. The light cavalry of the Ministry of Light, except for a small number of leather armor, most of the knights, including Li Huaitang, were not equipped with leather armor. Leather armor is lightweight, making it a good choice for light cavalry, especially when combined with chain mail, which is surprisingly effective in defending against bows and arrows. Last time, if Li Huaitang put on a pair of leather armor, the sneak attack of the Turk Shi people and archers could only be in vain.
In the Hanaka area, there are many kinds of leathers and the prices are cheap. It's just that the process of making is also complicated, cutting, dehairing, dehydrating, drying, and weaving into nails. Only more than 200 pairs of finished products are produced every month.
Looking at the large amount of remaining broken fur, Li Huaitang remembered his finger guard. Traditionally, archers have used rags to wrap their fingers around their arrows to prevent their fingers from being cut off by pulling the strings too much. This kind of entanglement is time-consuming and troublesome, and it also seriously affects the shooter's movements and feelings. If you use these furs to make a few finger guards for each shooter, the effect will definitely be better than rag wrapping.
The leatherworkers looked at Li Huaitang with more and more ideas in surprise, and the eyes of many craftsmen gradually brightened. He brought out everything imaginable, a leather hat, leather gloves, earmuffs, and leather boots. Indeed, winter is coming, and these things are a reliable guarantee of combat effectiveness.
As the armed courtyard entered the normal production track, a large number of various raw materials were rapidly consumed, and the previously stockpiled materials were about to run out. Cedar wood, in particular, is in short supply. Therefore, Li Huaitang ordered those Rites who had just recovered their freedom from the Turgish people to go into the mountains to transport wood, and under the leadership of Xiao Lizi, tens of thousands of troops marched to the deep mountains, becoming Li Huaitang's free labor. Strictly speaking, it can't be considered free, but they all eat Li Huaitang's food, and the rations of more than 20,000 people make Li Huaitang feel a big headache.
Although the pace of the armed courtyard is not big enough and not neat enough, the steps have already been taken out, and as long as we keep moving forward, the road will become wider and wider, and the pace will be steady and fast.
Seeing that his own Ministry of Light is growing and growing, Li Huaitang is very excited and looking forward to it, the progress of the Ministry of Light has been taken, and it cannot be stopped and is unstoppable.
The uncrowned king's wind is also going to take her first step. After research and comparison, Wumeng chose Zhezhicheng, the capital of Shiguo, as the first sub-station of Suifeng. The reason is that Shiguo is close to the base camp of the Turgish, and a large number of Turkic people are inhabited, including its monarch and deputy Khan. Moreover, Wumeng and Li Huaitang discussed and studied, and after this winter, they led their army to migrate eastward to the area of Bahanna, which bordered the Tang Dynasty, which was also very close to Shiguo. In the future, the contradictions between the newly born Ministry of Light and the Turgish people, the Shiguo and Pakhana will erupt at any time. Therefore, the establishment of an organization with the wind in Zhezhi City is considered by Li Huaitang to be a high-level move.
Li Huaitang has never lacked boldness, and once the goal is determined, he will then put it into action. Tomorrow, Wumeng will take a team of people to Zhezhi City in person to build a heavenly and earthly inn. He was accompanied by Shi Yiwang's eldest son, Shi Yun, who would be the leader of the Shiguo stationed in the wind and be responsible for expanding contacts, establishing an underground network, and gathering intelligence in the Shiguo. Code: Tianzi No. 1.
Standing in the armed courtyard, Li Huaitang was ambitious, but he didn't expect that a fire had already occurred, and the unbearable blow was about to come with bad news.
"General, general, no! Madame, Madame she ......"
A fast horse almost rushed into the armed courtyard, and the knight stumbled in, shouting as he ran.
"What? Fire? ”
Li Huaitang was like a thunderbolt from a sunny day, his whole body was shocked, and his head instinctively turned to the direction of the heavens on earth.
