"The thing on the horse's back is called a saddle, after being tied and fixed, the feet are stepped on the stirrups and clamped on the horse's belly can be very stable, and the body will not fall off on the horse's back, and the iron pieces on the horse's hooves can well protect the soles of the horse's feet and strengthen the horse's foot strength. Li Er pointed to the equipment on the horses in the center of the hall and explained, just at this time, the members of the art troupe had already brought over the military uniforms and paper armor made by Yanglin.

"Uncles and uncles, this dress boy will call him a sweater, which is made of the hair cut from the cattle and sheep seized from the Turks and woven into a thread, this clothing is warm and warm, it is used as the best choice for underwear, the garment factory will produce a batch this spring, and after next spring at the latest, it can produce 10,000 sets of sweaters and pants." Yang Lin gave Li Jing and the others a few white woolen clothes and pants to take a closer look, and signaled that they could wear them on the spot and try them on.

Sure enough, in the early spring room, which was already a little warm, wearing a woolen jacket was enough to resist the cold, and even made the bigwigs who drank a few glasses of wine and hot tea a little warm.

Woolen wool sweaters woven from pure wool are also very valuable warm clothes in later generations, how can this thickened version of wool sweaters not keep warm! Seeing that they nodded and praised the warmth of the woolen jacket, Yang Lin pointed to the second piece of clothing and said: "This is called a sheepskin jacket, it is the best clothing to shield from the cold wind, as long as you wear a sheepskin jacket plus a woolen sweater and a tight underwear, it is enough for a soldier to easily spend the coldest night in Chang'an City, this kid has already tried, even if the snow outside the gate is thick, the cold air can not penetrate the clothes that are almost completely sealed, it is difficult to frostbite the soldiers, only these, Naturally, the kid didn't dare to boast, let me Tang Erlang fight with the barbarians outside the Guanwai in the ice and snow.

This one piece. It is called kraft paper armor, it is a fresh product of Datang Paper Mill, this kraft paper has excellent toughness, not lost to the original cooked kraft paper, the weight is less than 20 catties, and it is not so afraid of water, as long as it is not soaked in water, it will be fine, it can not only resist the enemy's arrows, but also block the cold wind for the soldiers, because it is made of paper. His temperature transmission is not as high as that of clothes, and he wears full body armor, and the cold wind outside cannot blow in, and the heat in his body cannot penetrate out, so he can protect the warrior's whole body from freezing. Yang Lin beckoned and called one of his own guards over, wearing kraft paper armor covering his whole body.

"Paper armor? Can this thing withstand the arrows and sabers of the Turkic cavalry? Li Jing and Hou Junji and many other generals touched the paper armor that was not very thick and questioned.

"Hehe, I'll know if I've tried it, take the bow." Yang Lin handed over a Tang Dynasty new-style divine arm bow taken by the chamberlain to Li Jing and said, "Uncle Li's archery boy has already heard of it, and there is no problem in hitting my subordinate in three hundred steps." Liu Sanhu, give you ten breaths of time to run along the road to the palace wall, and Old Man Li will keep shooting arrows at you, and run back after ten breaths. Old man Li will still shoot arrows at you, and when you return to the same place, he will give you a few knives, if you are not injured, it proves that your paper armor zuò has succeeded. If you're hurt, it's a sign that you need to improve. ”

Yang Lin said very confidently, and Liu Sanhu didn't seem to feel afraid. The armor of the paper armor is particularly large, but it does not affect the action at all, at first Li Jing was still a little confused, afraid of accidentally injuring the sergeant, after getting Li Er's nod, Li Jing opened his bow and shot arrows. With a 'bang', the arrow flew out like lightning and was accurately nailed to Liu Sanhu's back.

Liu Sanhu did not fall in response, and continued to rush forward with the girl, Li Jing's arrow did not do his best, but the huge impact of the bow and arrow almost shot him, and only by pulling away could the impact be better discharged.

When Liu Sanhu was in a position of about three hundred steps, he never ran again, Li Jing shot three arrows in a row, nailed his shoulder, helmet, chest, he turned a blind eye, waited for a few breaths, and began to run back again, this time Li Jing believed that this light paper armor could really resist his own arrows, and after shooting three arrows in a row, Li Jing had no interest in shooting again, and the front of the paper armor had a stronger ability to resist arrows.

When Liu Sanhu returned to the Taiji Hall again, Yang Lin shouted: "The knife comes." "There is an inner servant handed over a long-handled Mo knife to Li Jing, this thing is a treasure knife made by the craftsman to sharpen iron like clay, Li Jing did not dare to be careless, Sancheng slashed to Liu Sanhu's chest, if this is above the battle array, the enemy's may be split in half by his knife, but the situation in front of him is not like this, I saw Liu Sanhu's chest full of arrows The breastplate was deflated down, and the Mo knife left a long knife mark on the paper armor, but it did not cut Liu Sanhu, and he slashed Liu Sanhu's shoulder and thigh twice in a row, Li Jing was convinced, Throw the big knife to the waiter, and watch the paper armor carefully!

"There's wire and steel in there?" Li Jing asked when he saw a glimmer of metallic luster at the edge of the knife.

"That's right, the paper armor is an improved version of the pure iron plate armor, the kraft paper is simple, in addition to reducing the weight of the armor, it can also naturally remove the impact force that falls on the soldier, especially when he is sandwiched between a thin layer of barbed wire, every attack is actually carried by a whole piece of armor, embedded in the key parts of the thin new iron sheet, this synthetic metal with high-carbon steel can only scratch shallow traces, it is difficult to cut directly, even if you do your best just now, you just knocked him down, It is impossible for the knife to break through his armor and inflict fatal wounds on him. Yang Lin patted the chest of Liu Sanhu, who was covered with sweat, and motioned for him to take off his armor, this guy in the escort team was bold and thick-skinned, and Yang Lin used his hand.

"With such armor and clothing and war horses, oh my God, as long as you give me 3,000 cavalry, I can easily deal with 100,000 cavalry of the Turks." Li Jing combined the war horse, the silk paper armor and the divine arm bow together and exclaimed after thinking about it.

"Hahahaha, I thought it was." Good equipment can only play the greatest role in the hands of these warfighters, and Li Jing's mind has now come up with countless tactics to defeat the hostile cavalry, not to mention that such cavalry has 10,000 cavalry, as long as there are 3,000, it is also the enemy's nightmare.

"Don't be too happy, this kid hasn't finished his words yet!" Du Ruyan interrupted the obscenity of these bigwigs at the scene with deep sorrow.

"What's the matter, my Datang has to pretend like this, Hu Lu can be wiped out with a snap of his fingers, is there any problem that can't be solved?" Li Jing and the rest of the bigwigs who were eyeing this set of equipment looked at Du Ruhui, the consul general of the military department, at the same time.

"Woolen jacket, two sets, 10,000 pieces of 20,000 pieces, saddle horseshoe, a set of two pieces, equipment for 10,000 riders need 30,000 sets, that is, 60,000 pieces, sheepskin jacket and sheepskin pants set of three times, at least 30,000 pieces, a set of paper armor ten times, 100,000 pieces, a god arm bow seven times, a steel arrow and arrow 20 pieces, just equipment one-time equipment will cost more than 300,000 runs, and the annual consumption supplement is about 200,000 runs, which is not counting more than 30,000 horses and more than 10,000 people's grain and grass and silver money."

Du Ruhui was saying that the faces of several military leaders were dark, and the cost of equipment generally only accounted for less than one-third of the cavalry's money, and the cavalry was really consumed on a huge amount of grain and grass, so that this 10,000 cavalry alone would consume more than one million yuan of Datang's money a year, which was more than half of Datang's national tax revenue.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, the top ten factories in the east and west are now welcome to borrow, as long as the interest is paid according to the requirements of the output factory, boy, I have fifteen million orders on hand, in addition to the deposit of three million guan has been put into the construction of the factory, and more than one million guan can be lent to the imperial court, as for the equipment, it is also possible to borrow at the real price, and it is no problem to complete all the equipment of Wanqi before the summer of next year." Yang Lin said with a smile, needless to say, these equipment must have been made by him for a fee.

"This, this"

Li Jing hasn't had this fart for a long time, and the soldier who fights for the country still needs to pay out of his pocket to buy equipment from him, which seems a little unreasonable, but if you don't give money, what will people do to make things for you!

"As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and without money, no matter how strong the army is, it can't fight, and what are the Turks, Tibetans, Goryeo and other countries that often wage wars against us? Snatch our wealth and seek profits, they can rob us, why can't we rob them, the army, isn't it just a gang of organized robbers, after the formation of the ten thousand horsemen is the king of these robbers, they should go to their land to loot wantonly, rob back their gold, silver and money can be used to pay off the debt, snatch back the cattle, sheep and horses, the ten major factories can make more equipment, arm more cavalry, we should make them tremble when they hear our name, instead of worrying every year when they receive the news of their attack. ”

"Bang bang bang."

Yang Lin's speech only won the applause of Gu Yue Daowen alone, and then Li Er thought about it and thought that it should be like this, so he also applauded after hesitating for a fraction of a second, and then the entire Taiji Hall burst into applause, only those Wenchen who had read a few sage books couldn't turn their brains a little, the inherent thinking of the Tang Dynasty Hall needed someone to break it, this person should have been Li Er a few years later, and Yang Lin's arrival advanced this time.

After the banquet, Li Er had a new will, revoke the title of the original guard system, the wounded soldiers of the original left and right Weiwei can be restored and go home, the top ten factories in the east and west of the Tang Dynasty are given priority to be placed in the factory to work, the original Zuo Weiwei can be camped in Longshouyuan, and ten thousand cavalry are formed, and the emperor personally leads ten thousand cavalry, Li Jing, Cheng Zhijie, Hou Junji, and Wei Chigong are deputy marshals, and there are ten army leaders under it, each of whom leads a thousand cavalry, and the position is General Huaihua. The original Luoyang Wei and Youweiwei were merged, changed to the Zhenbei Army, commanded by Li Daozong, Qianniuwei was changed to the Zhenxi Army, commanded by Li Ji, Lingnan Wei was changed to the Zhennan Army, commanded by Feng An, Shandong Wei was changed to the Zhendong Army, commanded by Liu Hongji, the Xuanjia Army was changed to the Praetorian Guard, and was commanded by Duan Zhixuan.

The next day, the notice for all the Tang Dynasty young men to recruit volunteers caused an uproar in Chang'an City, all the ordinary soldiers who passed the guò assessment and entered the Wan Cavalry had a monthly amount of money and silver, and the officers were different, which made many families outside Chang'an City who had a large number of people and could not enter the factory to find another one, and the Wan Qi was actually only a few thousand places, and the recruitment work was proceeding rapidly.
