The next morning, Chen Wen, who had not yet faded his joy, rushed to the workshop of the Military Industry Department. He could report that he could listen to Xu Yi's statement, but some things needed to be seen with his own eyes to understand the difference.

"Duke, this is a newly designed facial armor."

As soon as the second battle at Siming Lake ended, Chen Wen put the design of the face armor on the agenda and sent someone back to Jinhua to issue it to the Military Industry Department. However, this face armor was different from his requirements.

From Xu Yi's hand, what Chen Wen got was not a facial armor that was integrated with the helmet, but an iron piece spreading to the left and right. It was like a grimace, with only eyes, mouth and nose holes, and even a few fangs on his mouth. This grimace corresponds to the top of his head, and there are five small holes in his temple and cheeks, with five ropes tied on it. These five ropes will be tied behind the head, thereby fixing the iron piece on his face.

"The Duke of the State, the subordinate officials and the craftsmen who were responsible for the manufacture of armor, discussed that the helmet is a standard helmet, and we in Zhejiang's kingly division have not equipped other helmets. If we want to drill holes in the helmet, install bolts, and use instant noodles armor, then the helmet must be eliminated and replaced with a helmet without an outer eaves."

The facial armor that Chen Wen remembered was still the all-inclusive helmet in Europe. Now, when he thought about it, the facial armor was like a half-blind man. It seemed that even the European knights often just charged after putting down the armor, which seemed not suitable for infantry. Moreover, from the actual situation of the Ming army in Zhejiang, eliminating the hat helmet would also consume a lot of resources, hindering further expansion, which seemed to be a bit unworthy of the loss.

I put the face armor on my face and tied the rope behind according to Xu Yi's requirements. It felt OK, but my vision would be affected.

"This grimace shape should be used to intimidate the enemy."

"The Duke of the State is wise, that's exactly what it is."

“Will it take a lot of labor?”

"Yes, it needs to be specially built by blacksmiths."

Chen Wen had already thought of this answer, so he weighed the pros and cons of psychological warfare and mass production, and then he made his decision.

"This kind of thinking is very good, especially practical, which affects the vision a little." He reached out to stop Xu Yi's Xun Xie, and Chen Wen changed the subject. "However, I think the Military Industry Department needs to change its thinking. Your main job is to mass-produce the army's or to provide special supplies to a certain officer. Hydraulic machinery is so good, just make an iron plate, make a curve, and open an opening at the opening. It's not the end. The manufacturing is so fine, and the production speed is too much affected."

"What the Duke of the State is that the lower officials will hold a meeting with the entire Military Industry Department today to convey the spirit of the Duke of the State."

"Actually, the idea of ​​grimace is also good, it's just too troublesome."

"Then, why not draw it?"

A mouthful of old blood almost spurted out. Not to mention, this proposal sounded good, but it was the best of both worlds. It just felt like it was familiar.

After seeing the helmet, Xu Yi took Chen Wen to the iron armor manufacturing workshop. The armor leaves have been built in the water conservancy workshop. The craftsmen in this workshop only do fine processing and trim the tolerances to a reasonable range to facilitate the subsequent perforation and assembly.

Walking to a slap armor hanging on a shelf, Xu Yi began to say: "Duke, the custom-made slap armor in Fujian has very good protection. The bird gun and even the Lumi gun caused very low damage to it at normal distances, but the turtledove-legged gun is much worse."

This is inevitable. The bullets of the bird gun are only a few grams, and the Lumi gun is slightly heavier, but compared with the heavy convex gun that is often fifty or sixty grams, the power is too poor. It seems that even the cotton armor used to defend against bird guns during the Ming and Qing Dynasties was eliminated as the power of the musket increased. The cotton armor that was eliminated did not seem to be a heavy convex gun.

"And, you see, the customized ones in Fujian are all made by tall and strong men. Ordinary soldiers are not very suitable for wearing this kind of armor."

Chen Wen naturally knew the reason as Xu Yi said, and now he said it without hesitation: "According to the intelligence, Duke of Zhang Kingdom is forming a unit called the Iron Man Army. The full set of armor and sabre he customized is used to equip this unit. This Iron Man Army is a strong man, and seems to be planning to use them to restrain the charge of the Tartar cavalry."

"So that's the case." After getting this answer, Xu Yi thought about it and then said to Chen Wen: "The officials and the officials and craftsmen below discussed that if the number of armor leaves is reduced, they think they can reduce the weight."

The idea of ​​reducing the number, rather than the thickness and size of the armor leaves, is a good idea. Chen Wen nodded and asked them to create one first and let the soldiers wear it before talking about it.

Emperor Taizong of Tang once said that if I can defeat ten, there is nothing else, and my armor is strong and my soldiers are powerful.

On the battlefield, it is people who decide the outcome, the passion and courage to move forward, but steel is equally important. Otherwise, how would the word called Iron Blood be born?

The stronger armor can further reduce casualties when facing the Qing army, but if you want to cause greater damage, it depends on the weapons.

The turtledove-legged gun, a heavy-duty comb-rope gun, has been developed successfully and can even enter the mass production stage. It may take one or two months before large-scale equipment. However, the manufacturing of the flintlock gun is still as fast as ever, with a high defect rate, and the problem seems to lie in the spring steel.

Chen Wen couldn't solve this problem either. He basically gave his chemistry to the teacher, and he couldn't even memorize a few periodic tables. It was really hard to expect him to make a complete set of modern industrial systems. However, he didn't have any solutions, that is, let the Military Industry Department test it on its own. Testing is the only criterion for testing the truth.

As for the old problem of expensive construction, especially compared to the mezzanine, Chen Wen was so willing, and Xu Yi did not have the idea of ​​persuading him anymore. Moreover, the wheel-shaped type was cheaper than the original spring-shaped rifle. After choosing the spring-shaped rifle, this path has been greatly accelerated.

After seeing the musket, Xu Yi took out two more engineer shovels and a machete. The engineer shovels are one long and one short, about four feet long, and the shortest one is only two feet short. The machetes are used to clean up vines and branches, mostly for engineers.

"How many weapons have been produced?"

These are extremely simple for the Military Industry Department. Chen Wen just read them hastily, and another thing was one of the keys to his trip.

"So far, nearly 600 have been produced."

After getting this answer, Chen Wen was quite satisfied. He also guaranteed his own weapons and equipment needs in the first half of the year and had to complete the order. It was no longer easy to have this quantity. Moreover, he also needed to see the actual power of this thing on the battlefield before further adjustments were made.

Throughout the morning, Chen Wen either went to the Military Industry Department's workshop or the Military Industry Department's warehouse, and did not hurry to the recruit training camp until the afternoon.

When he was just starting to enter the camp, he naturally had no interest in reviewing the training camp. He ran all the way, and what he arrived was another secret training camp.

"Report to the commander, the quality of these soldiers is slightly worse than the ones that took off the Bear Camp."

This is a normal thing. The soldiers of Feixiong Camp are basically veterans drawn from each battalion. What needs training is nothing more than riding and some related things.

As a rapid response force, Feixiong Camp performed very well in this battle to rescue Dalan Mountain. However, before that, referring to the current dragoons on the continent and later motorized infantry, Chen Wen had decided to continue to train the riding infantry camp, and even he had the name he had thought of - Feifu, Feile, Feather Snake... In principle, it is a land beast with a word related to Fei, for the word "image". As for the flying tiger, this is not useful, because there is a flying tiger on the camp flag of Nantang Camp, which is easy to be confused.

"This is inevitable. The soldiers of each war camp also need veterans to lead new recruits, so it is impossible to draw them continuously. I can give you more time, but there are many people who come out of the camp, which are definitely not comparable to the Feixiong Camp."

"I will obey the order."

The cavalry battalion needs to be built again, and the same is true for the same cavalry battalion. In the battle on the banks of Siming Lake, Chen Wen seized nearly 3,000 horses, some of which were pack horses, but the number of war horses was also quite large. What's more, the two Ningshao prefectures were connected to the Qiantang River, the Qiantang River, which was the westernmost part of Shaoxing Prefecture. They chased them all the way, especially when they chased them to the banks of Qiantang River. They were also quite large. It was not a problem to ensure that the cavalry teams of each battalion were organized, and two more cavalry battalions were formed.

Of course, this is still limited to one man and one horse. Chen Wen still couldn't do it like the main force of the Eight Banners Army, or the Mongols, or even the rich man of three horses.

Battlefield mobility is extremely important, and equally important is a solid battle formation.

A large number of new recruits have entered the battalion, and a new round of recruitment has begun. However, in order to form combat effectiveness, the training of new recruits and the running-in period after entering the battalion is only the first step. This first step also takes several months in summer. This time, a unit has been training for a period of time and is waiting for today's inspection.

On the school ground, there were more than 200 men, all of them were veterans, and they were all strong men. These veterans held shields in their left hand and Qi Dao in their right hand, and a bag cross-body, which seemed to be filled with everything else. But at first glance, the most obvious difference from other Ming troops was that their helmets were not standard helmets, but a helmet that had no outer eaves at all. When they were used to looking at the helmets, Chen Wen always felt that something was missing.

"It would be awkward to add something to this helmet."

Chen Wen, who still couldn't adapt to the classic style, could not be equipped with this army, had a different mindset. At the same time, these veterans stood there motionlessly, without any abnormal movement, like a solid rock.

"This will be the final result on the battlefield."

Hearing this sentence, the officers around Chen Wen all recognized that the power of these veterans being organized together was really great, especially in their new fighting style. It was just that it was no better than the engineers on Dalan Mountain. Since the beginning of the establishment, no one thought it was Chen Wen's toy.

After the grand training, Chen Wen returned to Jinhua Mansion City, and this unit also took the number of the guards of the Duke of Xiuguo Mansion, which was exactly the same as the infantry guards who were responsible for guarding the Duke of Xiuguo Mansion and the cavalry guards who were responsible for accompanying Chen Wen to fight.

At night, in Jinhua City, the only remaining ruins where Lingchi Ma Jinbao was in the past. Ni Liangxu blurted out as Liu Cheng's purpose of asking him to come, but the eight big words "reasonable, unexpected" appeared in his mind.

"Brother Liu, you are ready to defect!"

What Liu Cheng said was referring to him and several people around him. Among these people, there was a figure dressed in a businessman, and the rest were all dressed in a suit of a friend. Ni Liangxu didn't know these people, nor did he see them in the martial arts school or in other places in the Ming army in Zhejiang. It was obviously all in the same group. And here, the only one who could be described as defector was naturally Liu Cheng.

"Defected?" Liu Cheng smiled coldly and then said, "Who are you betraying? Chen Wen?"

In the Ming army in Zhejiang for many years, Ni Liangxu had already seen that this army did not have a system of generals like other troops. The powers in the army were divided into several parts, including battalion officials, battalion supervisors, battalion judges, battalion military officers, battalion staff officers, and battalion staff officers. The promotions, military pay, welfare, and punishments of officers and soldiers were not something that battalion officials could decide in one sentence.

The checks and balances of power have reduced the autonomy of the battalion officials and the chain of loyalty cannot be formed at one level. The only one with the highest prestige in the army is Chen Wen, which is incomparable to other senior officers. But if everyone is loyal to Chen Wen alone, it is not the case. At least, after so many years of publicity, especially what he saw and heard, perhaps the Chinese civilization really needs them to defend, and the Han world seems to belong to them, while Chen Wen is more like a person sent by God to lead them.

Without loyalty, there would be no betrayal. Liu Cheng choked Ni Liangxu with just one word. But at this moment, he did not let go of this moment of surprise and continued to spit out all the words accumulated over many years.

"I have followed Chen Wen for many years and know more than others. Chen Wen's ancestors were hereditary households and had been favored by the emperor for more than two hundred years. However, Emperor Lie was able to sit in his home in Tianjin Acropolis. Although Fufan was not from the blood of Emperor Lie, he was also the cousin of Emperor Lie and the grandson of Emperor Lie. However, when Fufan was called emperor in Nanjing, he was still the same person. In the seventh year of Shunzhi, he came slowly and was the king of Lu. He repeatedly opposed the orders and disrespectful. He betrayed a strategy and a governor, and forced another governor to die in a confined place. After the incident, Guifan was only a remote emperor. If he was unfaithful, there would be no one in the world who was more unfaithful than him."

Other things had nothing to do with Ni Liangxu, but when Liu Cheng said the words "forced another governor to death in a confined place", he couldn't help but be shocked.

"At the time on Dalan Mountain, Chen Wen claimed that his parents had all died and his wife had died. However, the Chen family is a hereditary officer. Isn't there a single relative alive? But over the years, he has not sent anyone to find him, and no relatives have come to join him. He is at home, so I'm afraid he is also an unfilial person."

Ni Liangxu continued to remain silent, but Liu Cheng continued to say: "Chen Wenjianjun has been following countless people for many years, but there are many people who died in military law, and even if he has made merit, he cannot be forgiven. His behavior is completely the same as the Legalists, and he does not do good deeds. So what if he rebels like such unfaithful, filial, unkind, unkind, and unrighteous people?"

"The Qing Dynasty was invited by the King of Pingxi to revenge Emperor Lie and enter the pass, kill and rebel, so we can naturally replace it with Ming. Moreover, my ancestor Liu Cheng was just an ordinary citizen who gave birth to pay food. Unlike Chen Wen, the ancestors who were deeply grateful to the emperor, and they chose good birds and lived in trees. What's wrong with it?"

After being together for a long time, Liu Cheng knew very well how to convince Ni Liangxu. This man from Luo Chengyan's Baitou Army only talked about the word Yi, but before taking out the word Yi, he had to clean up the brainwashing achievements of Chen Wen over the years.

Liu Cheng's ancestor was just an ordinary citizen, so why didn't Ni Liangxu? Hearing this, the latter was still silent and allowed Liu Cheng to continue speaking.

"The more people like this, the more they can't tolerate others' thoughts. Cao Cao is an example. Brother Ni, Chen Wen has never forgotten what happened back then. Even if he can't remember it for a while, his wife and brother-in-law will remind him to always remember their great achievements and victims of power."

Ni Liangxu immediately understood what Liu Cheng mentioned. At this moment, the tiger's eyes immediately glared at Liu Cheng's body, and his anger seemed to be about to burst out.

Liu Cheng knew that it was time now. He was unmoved at all and said bluntly: "You, me, people like us have no future under Chen Wen's command. Even if you don't say this, don't you want to avenge Zhou Qingui? Don't you want to avenge the soldiers of the Luochengyan Baitou Army who were killed by Chen Wen back then?"

"Enough!"

Ni Liangxu shouted loudly, and then, with his big hands covering his already ferocious face, a heavy breathing sound came out.

"Enough, enough..."

One sound, another sound, and it was not until a long time later that the volume gradually became lowered and the release came to an end. The next moment, Ni Liangxu, who had just raised his head, asked Liu Cheng: "Have you figured out a way to leave here?"

It's done.

Hearing this, everyone's nervousness was relieved, even Liu Cheng. Compared to him, Ni Liangxu had been trained by all officers, especially because he knew very well how to control this person and bring Ni Liangxu to the Qing Dynasty would definitely be a great help.

He briefly explained how to leave the Ming army occupied by Zhejiang Province. Seeing Ni Liangxu nodding and said that he would go to the established hidden place to talk about the next thing. Liu Cheng nodded to everyone, then turned around and walked away.

While Liu Cheng and others turned around, Ni Liangxu also stepped forward and began to approach them. In this way, after walking about dozens of steps, a faint noise came from the distance. Under the dim moonlight, Ni Liangxu rushed forward with a quick step. The sword flashed, and the sharp blade actually rushed straight to Liu Cheng's neck.

When a sound suddenly appears in a quiet environment, people will definitely focus their attention there as soon as possible so that they can understand what kind of sound it is and whether there is danger.

This is instinct, and it is also the trick Ni Liangxu learned in the martial arts lecture school to distract his opponents.

The moment the sound came, both sides were still within a safe distance. When the sound came, Liu Cheng and others would definitely focus on it as soon as possible, and what Ni Liangxu wanted was the gap in this moment.

This sword was a must-have killing momentum when he was fired. Ni Liangxu even poured all his martial arts into his attempt to achieve his goal in one battle. But at this moment, the blade passed by, but there was no sense of difficulty, as if he was slashing in the air. The next second, when the afterimage dissipated, Ni Liangxu finally saw clearly that at the moment when he was about to cut, Liu Cheng rushed out with a quick step and flashed through the sword.

Liu Cheng avoided the blade, then turned around and drew his sword in his hand, almost in one go. But the others did not realize the battle behind him until Liu Cheng pulled out the knife, and turned around in a hurry.

"I've known each other for so long, I remember that I really wanted to tell you that in the Nantang camp, in the past, there was only one person I feared about in the martial arts, and even Lou Jiye and I were just a match. I think you are a friend and tell the truth, but you don't seem very honest now."

In the flash, Liu Cheng's reaction was so good that he really scared Ni Liangxu. He was a cavalry general when he was in the Baitou Army of Luo Chengyan. His horse skills were great and his infantry battles were slightly inferior. He also knew that Liu Cheng's martial arts skills were extremely high, so he chose his first goal on Liu Cheng. However, he did not expect that this traitor's martial arts skills were so high that they were not at the same level!

He killed him on the spot in one fell swoop, obviously no longer possible, and the guys dressed in their arms also took out their daggers in their arms and tried to surround him.

However, at this time, Liu Cheng waved his hand and signaled everyone to retreat. Instead, he took a step forward and asked Ni Liangxu: "Can you tell me why?"

Liu Cheng stepped forward, Ni Liangxu subconsciously took a step back, then reacted, and his face was flushed. However, when Liu Cheng asked, Ni Liangxu unconsciously raised his head and chest, as if he was pride at this moment.

"You know me very well, and you also know that Brother Zhou and his death are the pain in my heart. To be honest, when Chen Wen was not married yet, I even followed him and that woman in order to kill the man and woman on the spot."

Ni Liangxu had never told anyone about this, and Liu Cheng naturally didn't know about it. He was not successful in the Zhejiang Mingjun Group, but he never thought about killing Chen Wen. What he wanted was power, not hatred, so when Ni Liangxu said this, he stood there on the spot.

"But, since you know that my surname Ni only has such a word of righteousness in my heart, then you should also remember what Chen Wen did for them before Brother Zhou and the others died; I should also remember that I once mentioned that when we fought with Ma Jinbao, Wu Dengke, Yin Yue, and Sun Juren, they were also my brothers of Ni Liangxu. How could I destroy their hometown that they had worked hard to rebuilt?!"

Chen Wen may be unfaithful to the victim, but he is by no means unkind. It can even be said that the kindness of this martial artist has surpassed this era.

However, Ni Liangxu didn't want to refute Liu Cheng's slanderous words to Chen Wen. It was not that he didn't know how to refute it, but that he had no ** at all. He always had a knot towards Chen Wen. After all, Zhou Qingui and others said that Chen Wen was killed, and it was impossible for him to have no hatred in his heart.

However, hatred is one thing, but righteousness is another. Zhou Qingui and others’ dying instructions; Wu Dengke, Yin Yue and others’ hard work; Sun Yu took great pains to plan and build, especially under Chen Wen’s leadership, the Jinhua Mansion is gradually recovering. Righteousness is not only the killing of revenge can be used as evidence to defend the fruitful results achieved by these brothers’ efforts, but also the embodiment of the word “Yi”!

"Don't know the current affairs!"

He spit out these four words with disgust on his face. Liu Cheng rushed up with a quick step and formed a group with Ni Liang and Xu.

After several moves, Ni Liangxu had already fallen to the ground. After a glance at this former friend, Liu Cheng frowned. He wanted to open his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to say. He had to signal everyone around to drag the body that was about to become a corpse to the ruins not far away, so as not to be discovered too early.

However, they did not know that at this moment, the blood gushing out of their mouths was not as fishy as the tip of Ni Liangxu's tongue, but it had the smell of Fu Yuanzi in the Ningbo snack shop on the streets of Dongshi. And the sound of reading in the Boy Scout Academy came from his ears.
Chapter completed!
