In his previous life, Luo Ming had seen the name of the paper armor in Zhongzhong, and out of curiosity about such a strange name, he went to search on the Internet.

Probably made of layers of paper, sometimes mixed with a few pieces of hard cloth, fixed into pieces with nails to act as armor, to make armor, some people say that its defensive power is only slightly inferior to iron armor, and some people look down on it, saying that it can only barely catch up with ordinary leather armor.

But in Luo Ming's opinion, since they had already decided to use paper for armor, those who argued about its sturdiness were all in the wrong place.

Luo Ming has never seen the actual paper armor, if it can reach the level of almost iron armor, it is naturally good, but even if its strength is really poor, but it can also block one or two attacks of miscellaneous soldiers, which can make serious injuries become minor injuries, minor injuries become abrasions, and abrasions become no injuries - this is almost equivalent to half a life.

When the soldiers on both sides fought each other, the one with the paper armor must have taken advantage of the poor worms in cloth.

After all, you can't expect any razor-sharp weapons in the hands of the miscellaneous soldiers, and some of the poor insects still use farm tools such as pitchforks, or sharpened sticks—they may not be able to pierce paper armor even if they are stabbed with all their might.

Moreover, whether the body is wearing armor or not has a great psychological impact on the soldiers. With no protection at all, how dare the soldiers charge casually?

Paper armor can be made from the coarsest paper, which omits many processes than writing paper, and is cheaper, shorter in manufacturing cycle, and less technical - even women, girls and children can be mobilized to make paper armor, that is, it is suitable for a large number of rioters in a short period of time.

In ancient times, iron-smelting technology was limited and production was low, even in a big dynasty like ancient China, it was difficult for the regular government army to be fully equipped with iron armor, especially in a small place like the Duchy of Lothar, which was still in the semi-feudal era.

No matter how bad the armor is, it is also armor, and the paper armor produced in large quantities can even be distributed to the miscellaneous soldiers, and I am afraid that it can scare most of the enemies in the world.

Well, after all the leaders have received military training, they will be given a set of paper armor, and then painted with dye, and if they stand a little neatly, it seems to be really powerful.

I don't know if the county guard of Van Shee County can make up three hundred soldiers wearing iron armor - paper armor is relatively hard after all, and there are many differences from leather armor, and after painting the color, it can really pretend to be iron armor from a distance.

It's a good idea, but let's put it aside for now, and it's a more important thing to discuss.

Luo Ming turned the parchment upside down and placed it on the table, pushing it to the opposite side for everyone to see.

"This plan is very big, and it requires the cooperation of various departments, and it is necessary for everyone to work together and work together to do it perfectly.

However, I originally planned to embark on the road of external development within three years, and at that time I would need a bigger plan than now, so now it can be regarded as a rehearsal. ”

Luo Ming also planned to exercise the ability of these followers to think independently and establish their cross-departmental cooperation thinking, so in the following discussion, he did not take charge of all the thinking, but checked and filled in the gaps on the side, and if there was really any problem that no one could think of, he reminded again.

And these followers lived up to his expectations, and after a morning had written the contents of eight pieces of linen, which Arianna then carefully copied on six sheets of parchment for easy portability and preservation.

Although the parchment paper was expensive, it was the first large-scale multi-departmental project in Schönbrunn, and it was necessary to preserve it for later reference—the difficulty of long-term preservation of linen writing was a headache.

To be honest, the words that can be written on six pieces of parchment are also very limited, and maybe they are not as good as the planning book of a modern school celebrating its school anniversary.

But in this era, it is already very level, and it is written in great detail.

Broadly speaking, the work is divided into the following sections: intelligence, military, civilian, diplomatic, financial and logistical.

In detail, the work is also prioritized, and things should be done according to each stage.

The first thing to do is to search and map the Merbrunn territory and its surrounding areas to secure a core safe zone, and then roughly search the area further away to determine a relatively safe buffer zone - and also check and draw a map in preparation for the next expansion of the sphere of influence into these areas in the chaos;

Write a letter to the Inquisition, the Magistrate, and the Great Proclamation at the first time, whether or not it is timely or whether it will be taken seriously, at least do your best, and not only will you not be reproached afterwards, but you will be grateful, and you will gain the reputation of being a foresight and a keen eye;

Immediately carry out military training for the whole people, prepare weapons, and calculate the amount of money and food that will be needed to mobilize the militia on a large scale - the money on hand should be spent as soon as possible, because once the situation begins to be chaotic, then the price of all kinds of important materials will rise sharply;

Build an altar to the god of cleanliness - and an altar to the goddess of agriculture and an altar to the goddess of springs. The altar was not only a place for simple religious ceremonies, but also a military stronghold in this era.

Of course, if the enemy broke through and approached the altar, it would be limited in its strength, isolated and helpless, and sooner or later breached—the altar was more of a military aid to the priest.

The mage has its own spell workshop, spell position, and after expansion, it is the mage tower, which has powerful magic that is prepared in advance to be sealed and can be instantly emitted at any time, there are various equipment to assist in spell casting, and there are also magic pools that can help mages recover their magic - they can even directly extract the power in the magic pool, and cast some spells by themselves by automated mechanical facilities.

The priest's position is the altar, the temple, and even the Grand Temple, in which the priest can recover his strength faster and cast magic bonuses. As a holy place, they themselves carry a trace of insignificant but precious divine aura, and those who are harmed by evil forces, as long as they lie inside a temple, even if they do not receive divine treatment, the speed of recovery from their injuries will be one or two percent faster than others.

In addition, there are experiments with paper armor and the production of gunpowder weapons.

Of course, there is also a point that Luo Ming himself did not expect before, and was reminded by Dakang - he needs to write a letter to invite some surrounding nobles to hold a few banquets, or participate in a few banquets, in order to deepen the relationship and pave the way for the future......
