Chapter XVI Armament
The half-past shift last night was a little late. I'll make up one more shift today, eight o'clock...... It's too late, I'll buy tofu and hit the wall......
Thinking of the lesson of the last time, Wen Fei was almost killed by an arrow when he was chasing the Western Xia cavalry, Wen Fei didn't dare to be careless and only wear such a robe, and he had to build an armor when he returned to modern times.
This kind of thing, his carriage factory can do it, don't forget that the predecessor of the carriage factory was an iron goods factory. Crafting a suit of armor is not a difficult task.
directly stamped out the plate, and made a plate armor with an extremely attractive shape and a not very heavy weight for Wen Fei, and it was also majestic when worn on the body.
Wen Fei looked at it again, and his equipment was good. However, the equipment of those Qiang cavalry was not very good.
These people say that they are cavalry, but in fact they are herdsmen. Although the nomads claim that adult men are qualified warriors, Weizhou has been the territory of the Great Song Dynasty for hundreds of years. These nomadic tribes also have no chance to kill people and set fires. The natural skills are much more rusty, and they are already semi-civilized.
It is not as brave as the Qiang tribe that Wen Fei subdued in Lanzhou that day.
And the equipment is even more shabby, almost no armor, occasionally a few pieces of worn leather armor, I don't know which generation of ancestors left it.
Armor has always been forbidden to be collected by the people. Before the Yuan Dynasty, all dynasties did not prohibit the possession of weapons by the people, but things such as bows and crossbows and armor were absolutely forbidden.
These Qiang tribes in the Great Song Dynasty are normal if they don't have armor.
Wen Fei simply worked hard and ran back to modern times. Just get back a piece of armor. Anyway, it's all half-body plate armor, which is directly stamped and formed at one time, which is quite simple.
It's only been three or five days. More than 500 sets were made and replaced with the most elite fighters. This is still Wenfei's own factory processing capacity is limited, if not, it will not take much time to find a large-scale processing plant and stamping thousands of sets.
Of course, it is not possible to just change the armor, and the bows and arrows in the hands of these Qiang herdsmen are also quite rudimentary, and the range is very low. Almost all of them were arrows made of pig iron, and there were even a few bone ones, which made Wen Fei quite eye-catching.
It's even more convenient to do these arrows. Directly turning the sand mold into shape, what comes out are one-color pure steel three-edged arrows, at least three inches long, which makes people chill at a glance. This kind of thing. After ejaculating into the human body. It's not easy to even stop the bleeding.
Manager Wang asked, "Boss, why are you making so many murder weapons? Be careful if you are found to be a controlled item!"
Wen Fei rolled his eyes: "Those swords you fought are not murder weapons, these are all things that a hunting club wants, and other guests like to hunt with bows and arrows, can you manage it?"
Manager Wang was skeptical: "There is still such a club?
"Can you make a bow and crossbow?" Wen Fei glanced at Manager Wang. This guy is just like the workers in the factory, a fucking bunch of violent people.
Manager Wang said with a smile: "Although we are working for the boss now, are we also shareholders in the company!
In fact, you can find design drawings for everything on the Internet nowadays. Even if you can't find it, it doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to pay. There are always plenty of professionals to help solve it. If the club uses a lot of it, why don't we try it too!"
Wen Fei thought in his heart, this is right. Maybe one day when the golden people come in, Ben Shang's father Heavenly Master will still have incense methods to destroy those golden people. There is such a factory, and it is much easier to secretly make some cold weapons and other things.
If you don't have this factory, you can find a random factory to process, and people will see so many lethal things cast, I'm afraid it will also cause trouble.
Thinking of this, he nodded to Manager Wang: "That's good, this club hunts in Africa, and it's all big game, the more powerful the things you make, the better."
By the way, armor and swords are also required, but you can't use too good steel, so pay attention to the cost control...... Let's get 10,000 sets first, and then add them later depending on the situation!"
Manager Wang was dumbfounded: "Is the club hunting in Africa, or fighting in Africa, does it need so many weapons?"
Wen Fei was weak-hearted and said impatiently: "Don't you have no guns in Africa? Fight with cold weapons, you want to come out, go, hurry up and work!"
When Manager Wang thought about it, this is also the truth. Now in these years, don't say it's Africa, you just go to those almost uncivilized places in New Guinea in the Pacific, and you can also find guns, who will use cold weapons to fight?
No matter how rich his imagination is, an "old man" like him in his forties, no matter how idle he is, he will not read online novels, and even if he reads online novels again, he will not believe that Wen Fei transported these cold weapons to ancient times to fight......
Wen Fei thought about it and said: "By the way, I have now contacted a film company on Mingzhu's side to carry out props business, and our company will provide props for movies in the future." Mainly ancient weapons and the like, such as trebuchets......"
Thinking of trebuchets, Wen Fei was full of resentment. The last time those tattered trebuchets were slow and inaccurate, and they almost smashed into his own city, which made Wen Fei extremely dissatisfied.
"Aren't the props all fake and fooling people?" Manager Wang asked, "Who still makes real things for filming!"
Wen Fei was speechless for a moment, thinking about it in his heart, forget it. The trebuchet is so big, even if it is done, it is difficult to transport it to the Northern Song Dynasty.
It's better to find the blueprints of advanced trebuchets such as return cannons and take them to the Northern Song Dynasty to build. Thinking of this, he couldn't help waving his hand, and said stupidly: "Forget it, just because I didn't say it!"
Returning to Weizhou City with hundreds of sets of armor, it immediately caused a sensation. Speaking of which, Wen Fei's stamped plate armor is quite rudimentary, that is, a large iron sheet tied to the body with a rope, which can protect the chest and abdomen. There is no protection anywhere else.
But I can't stand it, this thing is cast of pure steel, and it weighs only a dozen catties in a thin way, but the defense is extremely amazing, even stronger than the standard armor in the Northern Song Dynasty army. It is almost the same as the world-famous Qizi Jia of the Tangut people.
At a distance of fifty paces, a direct test shot with a strong crossbow could not penetrate. Wearing this kind of armor, it is equivalent to several more lives on the battlefield.
As long as it's not unlucky, you just happen to be shot in the head, and you are shot in the thighs and arms, but you can't die.
Therefore, as soon as these 500 sets of plate armor came out, everyone was jealous.
If this is forcibly distributed, those who cannot be assigned armor will inevitably have affection. Wen Fei simply proposed a martial arts contest to distribute these armors, and only the bravest warriors could get them.
Naturally, it took another two or three days to assign these armors. Those Qiang warriors who were equipped with plate armor were even more grateful to Wen Fei.
Just when Wen Fei was in full swing to equip his "own" army, he was blocked. But it was the leader of a group of purple-robed Taoist priests, and he was clean.
He stopped Wen Fei and asked, "What does the sect leader want to do like this?
Damn, Wen Fei has always been afraid that his Taoist priest will get in the way, and what he has been doing is low-key. Don't want these people to know. It's just that Wen Fei made such a big noise, and these purple-robed Taoist priests are not stupid?
"Is the sect leader going to take these soldiers to catch up with the army?" Seeing Wen Fei talking to him left and right, a white-haired Taoist priest stood up and said straightforwardly.
This person's name is Zheng Ziqing, and he is the most proficient in Taoism, and it is said that he can turn stones into gold. Going back and forth between the rivers and lakes, the game is dusty, and he is a stranger. But when Wen Fei had not yet arrived in Tokyo City, Zhao Ji recruited one of the masters, a Taoist priest in a purple robe.
Wen Fei was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that he was so careful and thought that he was buried very deeply, but he didn't know that he had already been known, and he couldn't help but be a little discouraged. Xindao, if these Taoist priests dare to stop me, I will send someone to lock them all up.
But he heard Di Jingzhi say sharply: "The rise and fall of my sect is tied to the sect leader. Didn't the sect leader think of suing me for such a dangerous thing?"
You guys are going to follow me like ass, and it's not me pulling you away. Wen Fei secretly vomited in his heart, of course he couldn't say this on the surface, and there were thoughts in his mind.
But he heard Zheng Ziqing laugh and said, "I teach such an enterprising sect leader. I expected that the general idea of the sect leader and me was to use the power of the army to cut down mountains and destroy temples and spread my great way!"
Wen Fei was a little dumbfounded, to be honest, he really didn't expect this to go up in the long run. It's hard, well, it's very easy. Back in ancient times, I didn't see that kind of fighting with thousands of troops, which is a bit too regrettable.
Every otaku actually has the dream of commanding an army of 100,000 to sweep the world, otherwise those strategy games would not have been produced from generation to generation and would have endured.
Of course, it seems that the younger generation of otaku in recent years has begun to be less interested in this kind of thing!
Wen Fei is an otaku of the older generation, and he is tired of this kind of game. Of course, Wen Fei still has deeper thoughts, but he hasn't thought through those thoughts himself, so naturally he can't say them.
"Since the late Tang Dynasty, Tibet was divided into the kingdom of Tsongkha and the kingdom of Guge. The center of Tibetan Buddhism is in Tsongkha, and the small countries of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau often send missions and students to Tsongkha. And he also called himself the son of the Buddha and used the authority of Buddhism to integrate the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
However, since Emperor Shenzong changed the law, the Great Song Dynasty opened the border of Hehuang, and has been attacking Tibet, so that the Tsongkha State is unable to take care of the spread of Buddhism, so the Guge Kingdom took the opportunity to make up for this shortcoming, and gathered the great masters of various Tibetan Buddhist sects together in the Tolian Monastery.
