Chapter five hundred and sixty fourth nothing
This time, the Qingzhou New Army and the old soldiers selected from the original brotherhood were equipped with two sets of armor, which is also the reason why the first batch of soldiers had only 100,000.
One of the two sets of armor is the rattan armor during landing or wading water battles, while the other is the compound armor improved by the Brotherhood. As the name suggests, this set of armor was made by mixing multiple armors. If you want to say, Han Zhenhan did not understand these armors in the era of cold weapons. However, Han Zhenhan did not come alone. Among the eight hundred brothers, there were many capable people, but in that era of war, the rest of those who could survive to the Republic of China were all human spirits.
From urban iron smelting companies, rural blacksmith shops, garment factories, textile factories, and textile factories. Although China was not well-developed in that era, it had everything, and even private aircraft manufacturing companies existed. Although most of the Brotherhood of the New Orleans came from Shaanxi, and there were many of them arrested, there were old people like the old fox and Boss Bai who mingled into the military's organization to hide from enemies and take refuge, had their own special purpose, and had a sincere heart to avenge the country and family hatred. There were no more few.
When all the talents gathered together, and Han Zhenhan was guided by the most free and open mind, a small technological revolution in this time and space was formed. Of course, this is completely incomparable to the explosive explosion of European scientific and technological civilization hundreds of years later, and it cannot be compared with the people's explosive growth of hundreds of years of folk skills, coupled with scientific production methods, and continuous trials and innovations. After a large number of attempts and nuclear tests, the latest weapons and equipment appeared in front of everyone.
Just to mention the standard armor of the Eastern Expedition to Japan this time, it is actually a very typical product of a technical explosion.
The outer part is covered with a cowhide of five mm thickness. The middle is a horizontal and vertical arrangement of cloth and iron steel plates, and the inside is filled with cotton and thick cardboard. This performance is very good in line with the armor. The long knife cut can only damage the part of the leather armor on the surface at most. The horizontal and vertical arrangement of the iron bar steel plates inside can just resist the cutting of the blade.
The spear or arrow piercing is lucky enough to stab the position without the vertical and horizontal arrangement of steel plates, and the combination of thick cardboard and cotton. Such a whole body wrap, especially thick cardboard, can resist sharp objects piercing. This kind of stab protection ability is better than that of thinner iron plates.
The design and use of this kind of armor also benefited from Han Zhenhan's work arrangement method, because the current technological level is here, and most of the work everyone does has no technical content.
But many experiences are summarized in those work without technical content. Just like why thick cardboard can withstand the attacks of bows and arrows? This is because when the rattan armor was produced, the senior officials of the printing factory were seconded. Because of the experience of printing, the senior officials of the printing factory found that these cardboards were really too difficult to cut. This manager always said that even if they were cut iron, they should be able to cut them.
Because of this sentence, a layer of paper armor and cotton appeared in the composite armor, and the built-in iron bars were actually to reduce weight to this set of armor, and the actual effect was very good. It only took less than three months for this armor to be equipped with soldiers from the beginning of manufacturing.
This composite armor wins lightweight, portable, easy to wear, and easy to carry. It is not difficult to maintain and repair. After simple training of the soldiers, everyone will take care of it and maintain it. It is not for anything else but for their own lives.
Similar things, such as cement adhesives, yellow powder explosives, and cloud rebars, weapons and equipment that can be used as gods in this world have become basic configurations in Xinyituan.
In Han Zhenhan's opinion, this is natural. Han Zhenhan himself does not even have armor, and he rarely even sees Han Zhenhan wearing a sword. In Han Zhenhan's own words,
"Talents who go into battle to kill the enemy should have the best weapons and equipment."
The orderly soldier who was pulled away by Boss Bai quickly brought a set of armor and followed several carriages. The carriage appeared on the Ryukyu Island, which made King Yingzu of Ryukyu stunned. He had never seen any animal like horses. First of all, the island where he was located has not yet played its role in hundreds of years. Secondly, the people who climbed this island were either pirates or Japanese merchants. The reason they were not special is that they would not run around the sea with their horses.
In this era, the animal Ma, no matter which country it is in, was a strategic material level. It was not until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty a hundred years later that it began to implement the maritime ban, that it attracted its glory and its important role as a supply port.
It was only then that horses began, and they flowed into the island Ryukyu with other commodities and items. Before that, Ryukyu even sent people to China on the other side of the strait, but they didn't know how to go. The ships did not have large ships, nor did they have the experience and ability to build large ships. The tributes could not be afforded.
"Is this the horse?"
Han Zhenhan and others were stunned by the question of King Yingzu. Then Han Zhenhan understood the problem here as soon as he thought about it. How could there be a horse on this island? Then he thought about it and waved his hand.
"Send you ten horses..."
In order to establish a rapid response force on land, Han Zhenhan and his team only came tens of thousands of troops, but they brought thousands of horses. The so-called complete preparation may be what the Qingzhou New Army is now.
Han Zhenhan's generousness was rolled by the logistics commander Bai. Ten horses may not be anything on the mainland. If you give it to a king, even if a king with a smaller population, he may not be able to make any move. He will only need a thousand or eight hundred horses to look better.
However, by such a long distance, the space on the ship occupied by these horses and the space required for a large amount of forage are extremely expensive. However, since Han Zhenhan said too much, Boss Bai could not say anything. He just expressed an attitude, hoping to make Han Zhenhan restrain himself.
"Well, I don't know what kind of currency is in your country. I need some fresh fruits and vegetables. If you can send me some, I'm willing to use these canned beef of equal weight and exchange it with you."
"Is this beef? Is it the beef used for plowing land?"
Yes, there were no cows in Ryukyu. Looking at the small jars filled with small white porcelain jars covered with red square paper and ropes, Yingzu started to swallow his saliva. Although he had never seen cows, he had eaten the jerky beef.
