In this way, the Chengguan Brigade, which was famous in later generations, was established. For those Hainan gentry who came to see the excitement. It seems to be just another farce played by the Shorthairs. At first, they didn't take this small group of veterans and lame men to heart. When they found out that the so-called "comprehensive law enforcement" actually covered almost one qiē public power. The power of the Chengguan Brigade has been pervasive throughout South China. There was even the famous slip of the tongue:

"There is Jinyi Wei in the north. There is a city management team in the south! ”

But at this time. The newly established Chengguan Brigade is still only a "quasi" military force that does not even have regular weapons. Because this side is not very confident about their loyalty. In particular, Pang Yu -- the sequelae of reading too much of the "Memoirs of Gangcun Ningci" is that he is always worried that there may be daytime chengguan among these people. At night, the martial arts team that changed its skin and came out to engage in sabotage. As a result, the weapons initially issued to them were only wooden sticks. He didn't even dare to give the sword and spear that had opened the edge.

"Anyway, these people are mainly inward. It's just used to drive away and scare the people. Weapons that are too lethal are not suitable for them. Fighting for human life is troublesome. ”――

Lao Xie and the others didn't have too many requirements for this organization at the beginning. A lot of Cheng dù on. The original purpose of this group was simply to accommodate veterans who had nowhere else to go. lest they scatter out to bring trouble to the country. Therefore, although there are still many captured Ming army embroidered spring knives in the arsenal. Cold weapons such as red tassel guns. But they don't give anything. Not even a bow and arrow.

Not to mention the muskets - in fact, Lingao has recently been massively expanding. The arsenal worked overtime day and night. But it is difficult to meet the needs of even the regular army. Even if you apply for a report, you can't take care of it.

On the protective gear though. On the contrary, it fully embodies the modern people's sense of protection -- this is mainly the construction of Ao Sayan. Because the dismissal is too busy and unavailable. Lin Feng and Pang Yu are each responsible for commercial affairs. Zhang Shenyue and Wu Ji were in addition to serving the bronze cannon. It is also responsible for sorting out all the captured technical weapons of the Ming army. Let's see if any of them can be used - that's all sorts of weird. The Ming Dynasty had a strong sense of firearms. But the direction of development has never been found. There are hundreds of gunpowder weapons on the official weapons catalogue alone. Not many worked. Zhang Shenyue used to be a bachelor in college, and he was still mechanical. Many of the patterns are incomprehensible. and Wu Ji took a few elementary school apprentices and didn't show up all day. Of course, I don't care about other things.

The remaining two young men, Hu Kai and Xu Lei, are too immature...... In the end, it had to be agreed to let Taiwan Aberdeen become the first commander of this urban management brigade. Oshayan himself was quite interested. I took on the task with great interest. And put forward many views on the building yì.

It is necessary to strictly control the weapons. The protective gear is relatively loose. O Sayan simply equipped himself with protective gear according to the standards of the riot police of later generations. Of course, it's much more technically rudimentary. However, the southern region has an advantageous condition - the rattan industry is relatively developed. The weaving technology of all kinds of rattan is very mature. So they ordered a large number of rattan products.

Breastplates and crotch skirts woven from old rattan. The interior is also lined with leather. From top to bottom. There are shin guard plates, including on the calves. A complete set. The helmet is similar to the rattan helmet of later generations. The face can also be covered by a curtain. Wear up the whole one vine armor soldier. plus a square wooden shield with a small observation hole; One end is thick and the other is thin. The length resembles a baseball bat. A short stick with a big head that can be hung on the wrist...... The seventeenth-century version of the riot police began to take shape.

These rattan armors are of little use on a real battlefield. Musket bullets are purely ornamental. So don't worry about Ben's forces using them to rebel. But the stones used to ward off the ruffians of the streets. Raging peasants' dung forks. Or the sharp knives of black vendors...... That's more than enough. And compared to traditional armor. This thing is also light enough. Even if the team members wear a full suit, they can still run like flying. Basically does not affect the speed. It is suitable for internal violence.

The only drawback is that he is more afraid of fire - everyone knows the story of Zhuge Liang's burning of rattan armor soldiers. But the wisdom of the working people is truly extraordinary. The actual users quickly solved the problem in the simplest way possible - they applied a thick layer of mud to the outside of the rattan armor every time they fought it. It's dirty though. But it does prevent fire. At least not with ordinary torches and rockets. Even if it really burns. The front and rear pieces of armor are also only connected by latches. Unplug it to take it off. There is no threat to the user himself - as long as he remains calm enough.

"Stuff is really nice. That's the price......"

Wang Xinzhi, a petty officer of the head snake, was appointed as the deputy captain of the chengguan brigade. When he first saw the armor samples that the Shorthaired Masters had prepared for them. The mood that had been a little depressed because I couldn't equip the blade immediately became cheerful. As a country gangster with incomparably more experience in fighting. He could see it at a glance. If you go out into a fight with this outfit...... Or even a war. As long as it doesn't run into the perverted firearms of Uncle Shorthair. It's definitely the advantage.

Just with the delivery of the samples. The quotation was also sent at the same time - just such a set of rattan armor. Along with a replacement spare piece of armor. Helmet. handguards, shin guards, etc. The whole body adds up to more than ten copper coins. For General Wang Fei, who is accustomed to only being given a knife and a set of tattered battle jackets, even if he is a regular army. It's obviously too extravagant for the Shorthairs to have this set just to get them into a fight.

Especially when he heard that this thing was standard. In the future, everyone will have to issue a set of hours. Together with a couple of Ben's officers next to them. All of them had straight eyes - you must know that each of these chengguan team members had already received two sets of battle jacket uniforms; A pair of excellent quality mille-feuille sole lace-up cloth boots - an imitation of the liberation shoes of later generations; In addition, each person received two pairs of labor protection gloves. It is also made of very thick clay cloth; Even underwear. Personal items such as undershirts and socks were distributed.

"All of these things...... On a person, it will cost thirty or fifty hangings, to say the least. Are the short-haired men really just the Fang bandits we want to deal with? How does this look like the posture of the pro-barracks family? ”

Wang Feijiang's deputy. One is named Lu Jinlou. The little officer, nicknamed Lu Er, was full of joy - the army of the Ming Empire did not cost nothing. It's just the general idea of army building at that time: soldiers are just consumables. Lots of fine armor. Ballista. All kinds of strange gunpowder weapons...... Which of these things is less valuable than the big soldiers. Soldiers. Just find a village and go in and pull around. In addition to paying some military salaries and rations that have been deducted to the extreme. Ordinary soldiers are not paying more attention.

There is only one kind of superior treatment that a soldier can get: full salary. Enough food. The finest weapons and armor - certainly within the reach of the Lord. That is the main general's personal army. But strictly speaking, they did not belong to the regular army of the Ming Dynasty. For they are all servants and servants who belong to the Lord's private possession.

The combat effectiveness of Emperor Ming's ** team. In fact, it is maintained in the hands of a group of family members. Even the famous Guan Ning Army. According to the old man Wu Xiang's later cry to Emperor Chongzhen: that is, it is only maintained by 3,000 family members who dare to fight to the death. In the minds of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Able to become a personal servant of the master. Become a homemaker. That is definitely the most glorious prospect. When you think about the food you eat these days, it's also luxurious. The treatment of meat every day can never be the normal standard of ordinary soldiers. The confidence of those few dirt buns immediately increased. It is very likely that he will become the personal soldier of the short-haired master. They almost danced with their hands.

Among the group of people, only that Wang Xinzhi had more contact with the short-haired masters. The head is still relatively level-headed. Just one sentence shattered all their illusions:

"It's possible if it's someone else. But these people ......," Wang Xinzhi pointed to his "men" -- all bearded old men and disabled men. His face was full of frustration. "No one will choose them."

"Uh......"

The crowd who was still excited just now immediately fell silent. Truly. These people were already eliminated. Even the regular army was not selected. Not to mention pro-soldiers.

Only that Lu Jinlou and Lu Er were stunned and still didn't give up. Wobbly and staggered around to Ozayan's side—they already knew that this well-mannered-looking young guy would be their immediate boss. It's just that at this time, the short-haired men are getting together and talking. I didn't dare to swarm around here.

Vague. It seems that Shorthair also talks about the price of these equipment. Lu Jinlou finally found a partner to borrow

"Ao ...... Master. These things must be expensive, right? ”

Osayaan looked back at him. The expression on his face was a little embarrassed. How cute the little girl's expression was when she shouted "master" before. It's replaced by him, but it's this big man with a wrinkled face...... Goosebumps all fell off.

"Please call me captain in the future...... It's a good price. It's all bulk wholesale prices. A team of more than two hundred people. The total amount spent on buying equipment was five thousand taels. ”

"Ah......h

Including Wang Xinzhi. Those low-ranking officers of the former Ming army let out exclamations one after another. The cost of equipment for one soldier alone amounted to more than twenty taels of silver. This was not without precedent among the Ming army. But that's certainly the best of the best. In the country people want to come. Probably only the forbidden army of the emperor in the Forbidden City can reach it.

And garbage teams like them that can't even get into the regular army. Now it has cost so much money to arm ...... These short-haired uncles really can't act with common sense.
