73. Boost morale
Wang Li was taken aback, and bent down to take the infantry armor from Naqi's hand.
Zhang Qi's infantry armor was a complete set, including upper body chain mail, iron-inlaid cuirass, shoulder sills, arm armor, gloves, leg armor, and leather boots.
This whole set weighed more than thirty catties, but Wang Li did not have the slightest dislike, and his face was only flushed with excitement.
He hadn't noticed the infantry armor stacked together just now, thinking it was a set of leather armor, but after getting started, he felt clearly that it was a set of metal armor.
Metal Armor!
If you go to those tribes with a population of 100,000 in the grassland, you can get tens of thousands of cattle and sheep!
The Huns knew how to smelt iron and copper, but they lacked iron.
Coupled with the mobility of its ethnic group, it is impossible to produce metal armor on a large scale like the Han region.
In addition to several Xiongnu tribes such as the Sulu Department, the Loufan Department, and the Baiyang Department, the other tribes in the whole grassland do not have mature iron-smelting technology.
Wang Li's hand holding the infantry armor was trembling, if it was still in the tribe before, this set of armor would have to be offered.
Kneeling on his knees, Wang Li slammed his head on the ground.
"Thank you for the reward, the plow is grateful, and the death force is determined!"
Zhang Qihe laughed twice: "Hehe, why does Wang Junhou need to be like this, just a set of armor, hurry up." ”
Zhang Qi said this, but Wang Li didn't get up immediately, but only stood up after kowtowing a few times again.
After getting up, he stood behind the side of Zhang Qi's off-road horse with his infantry armor in both hands, and stood there quietly.
Zhang Qi looked at the curious eyes below, clapped his hands, and when he arrived, Na Qi led the female soldiers to put down the remaining dozen sets of infantry armor on horseback.
Zhang Qi cleared his throat, rode on the cross-country horse and said loudly: "It's all good, I'm very pleased with the changes you have made in the recent period, from a group of dirty slaves to a sergeant who can now fight with bows and knives, you are all very good." ”
"But! It's not enough!"
"I tell you the truth, this mountain forest does not belong to us, but to a group of lost dogs, who sit on a vast land, but can only shrink a corner, and do not even dare to touch the beards of the Huns."
"Tell me, do these bereaved dogs deserve such a vast mountain forest?"
Zhang Qi spoke loudly, and the soldiers also held their heads high, and dozens of days of drills had cultivated some of their blood.
So, Zhang Qi, who was riding on an off-road horse, immediately heard a deafening roar: "Not worthy!" ”
"Unworthy!"
"Unworthy!"
The sound was loud in the sky, and the birds that had circled around and found that there was no danger and returned to the nest flew into the sky again, chirping as if cursing the wicked people who disturbed the birds' dreams.
Zhang Qi stretched out his hand and pressed it.
The soldiers stopped whistling.
He laughed and said, "Hahaha, good! With such blood, after the beginning of spring, I will lead you to grab a piece of land that belongs to us! ”
"See all this metal armor on the ground?"
"Do you want to wear it on yourself and fight bravely?!"
"Yes!"
Another mountain called, and the birds in the sky that were about to return to their nests flapped their wings again before they could return to the trees, and this time their wings were snorting so hard that they left their feathers flying away.
Can't afford to provoke it, let's hide!
"Since you want to wear it, then you will use twice as much strength in training as before, and I will leave these armors to your military commanders, as long as you can get into his eyes, then you will be eligible to obtain a metal armor."
"Moreover, I'll put it here, as long as you can obtain metal armor, you can be upgraded to three levels in a row!"
Judging from the current composition of the army, as long as they obtain a piece of metal armor, then these people can jump from a large soldier to a 'team rate'.
If you are a Wu Chang from the beginning, then you can become a 'Tun Chief'!
If at the beginning these people only said that they were working hard for a life-saving armor, now the enthusiasm of these soldiers has shifted from life-saving to power.
Since ancient times, power has touched people's hearts, and for men, as long as it is about power, then they do not have any resistance.
"Your Majesty!"
“.....”
At first, there were still a few words of praise for Zhang Qi in the army, but gradually, their shouts became more and more neat.
"Your Majesty!"
“.....”
The sound was deafening, and the flying birds who were far away heard the movement here, and flapped their wings a few times with disdain, hum, I didn't eat, the sound was so small.
After announcing the reward he would give, Zhang Qi turned his head to look at Wang Li: "Do you remember what I said?" ”
Wang Li, who was holding the infantry armor, nodded: "Remember, humble." ”
"Well, okay, get them motivated in the next month or two, and I won't allow you to cheat on the metal armor."
"Don't dare! Please rest assured. ”
Wang Li humbly bowed his head and said, he didn't lie, he really didn't dare to cheat for personal gain in this matter, he had witnessed Zhang Qi's Xuanqi with his own eyes, who knew if his monarch had any other means, although he still wanted his previous tribe people to control many grassroots military positions.
But since Zhang Qiqi has spoken, let's see the real chapter in training and convince everyone.
"Hmm." Zhang Qi groaned, and then ordered Naqi.
"Let's go, go to a few other barracks to pay respects."
"Yes, master."
Na Qi stepped forward and grabbed the reins, and then led Zhang Qi out of the military camp of Wang Libu.
The remaining barracks are also a little far away.
The eagle was in the upper left of the king's plough department, and his servant army was the most numerous, with a size of more than six hundred, so three camps were built, and each of them was housed with a song.
Zhang Qi mobilized the enthusiasm of these soldiers as he mobilized Wang Li's department, but because the metal armor was handed over to Wang Li, Zhang Qi's reward in the eagle's army was still to be promoted to military rank and reward his daughter-in-law.
Not to mention, when it comes to rewarding daughters-in-law, it also makes these soldiers who were once slaves excited.
But it's normal, full of warmth and lust, now they don't lack food under Zhang Qi's supply, and after their leisure, they will inevitably think of passing on the ancestry.
But what they didn't know was that Zhang Qi originally had the idea of forming a family for them, and if they wanted to have more people, they still had to live.
The company visited all the military villages.
With the set reward, these soldiers also broke out with the same high enthusiasm as Wang Libu, Zhang Qi didn't know how long this enthusiasm would last, but as long as they could hold out until the beginning of spring, the Donghu people would be maimed or even killed.
He had a way to keep the morale of these soldiers high in battle.
