Chapter 367 Future captains
Li Nanyuan was the fastest responding.
He said it first, and Jiang Shaoji behind him also shouted, "Your Highness, our Yulin Guard is half of the family of the guards of the Prince Yu's Mansion. You have led the Yulin Guard to fight in all directions many times. You should also give each of us a set! The safety of the imperial city and the safety of the world need to be defended by our Yulin Guard!"
"It's a coincidence!"
Lu Song smiled, "Protecting the safety of the emperor, the empress dowager, and the nobles of the palace are the most important things in the world. With your filial piety, you will definitely match the three thousand thousand Niuwei with a new type of magic weapon, right?"
Gao Jing's mouth moved, and he actually wanted it very much, but compared with these field troops and guards, his reasons were not sufficient.
But he was not worried too much. With the good relationship between the Embroidered Yiwei and Prince Yu's Mansion, he would quietly get 800 sets of thousands of sets, which is not a problem.
Zhou Zhixiao scolded righteously next to him: "You are all nonsense! Can you decide how to distribute it? Your Highness himself can't do it! This will be discussed by the emperor and the prime ministers after they have discussed it!"
After a pause, he changed his mind, "But Your Highness, you have fought side by side with the border army in Jinzhou City. You also know that the border army is really hard! If you have room for space, please take care of the border soldiers! There is no need to do too many at the beginning, just get a thousand or eight hundred sets of each fortress town."
A group of generals were stunned when they heard this, thinking that this old guy was really shameless.
Ge Songdao shook his head as he heard this.
Before he could speak, Liu Mingjing was dissatisfied here: "Everyone! You guys! Have you forgotten? In the next three years, our special forces army will be the most important thing to attack Nanzhao! Our 20,000 soldiers need these magical weapons and weapons!"
Listening to Liu Mingjing's words, Ge Songdao nodded slightly and turned to Liu Mingqi: "Your Highness, how much steel production is here? How many kilograms of raw materials can you get in a month?"
The concept of separation between steel and iron has actually existed long ago.
Otherwise, the difference between "steel knives" and "iron sticks" would not be generally mentioned.
However, the "steel" and "iron" they talk about are still quite different from the actual modern steel.
Liu Mingqi did not correct them, and used facts to distinguish between steel and iron. In the long run, they could re-examine the concept of distinction.
"Now, such fine steel can get 30,000 kilograms per month." Liu Mingqi said the data she knew, "based on six kilograms of a big knife, three kilograms of a short blade, and one kilogram of a dagger, a set of equipment is ten kilograms, and you can get 3,000 sets of equipment a month."
"Will the big sword be lighter?" Ge Songdao frowned.
"Not light."
Liu Mingqi pointed to the generals and said, "If you ask them, you will know that the big sword is mainly sharp and hard, not weight. Our stainless steel is much sharper than ordinary steel knives, and it will be much stronger, so there is no need for such a heavy weight, which can also make them less burden in the wild jungle."
"Yes, although it's a little lighter, there's no problem at all." Li Nanyuan here nodded and said, "Ge Xiang, you also saw the machete we just now, which I think is very appropriate."
Why did the ancient big sword look like a wide back?
The reason is that there are too many impurities such as thiophosphate in ancient steel, which leads to the weapon being not hard and easily broken, so the sword is widened and becomes a knife.
Generally speaking, for example, the accessories of my Ming Gongqing, for example, the standard length of 96 cm is only 800 grams.
A knife, generally speaking, is between eight kilograms and ten kilograms. No matter how many, ordinary people can't wield it.
For example, the famous Wu Sangui's sword was weighed only thirteen kilograms after it was unearthed, while in history he used the "fifty kilogram big knife".
Guan Erye couldn't use the fifty-pound big sword, and the Qinglong Yanyue sword was probably only the modern forty-two pounds.
Liu Mingqi did not build an unparalleled general, but a special forces soldier. Therefore, the characteristics of lightness, sturdiness and sharpness are very important. It has become a six-kilogram medium-carbon steel. It is of course much more advanced than ordinary weapons in ancient times, and more than enough.
"Very good!"
Ge Songdao also believed in their professional judgment.
He turned his head and said to Zhou Zhi: "Shangshu Zhou, the first batch of special forces will be given to the first batch, and let His Highness Prince Yi and others take it away in the first lunar month. Then half of the special forces and half of the Ministry of War every month. What do you think?"
"Yes!"
Zhou Zhixiao agreed first, then turned to Liu Mingqi and said, "Your Highness, can't you continue to expand production? You only have 30,000 kilograms a month. If you want to change all the equipment for the imperial guards and border troops, you have to wait until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month?"
"It's also the experimental stage, so I dare not make it in large quantities." Liu Mingqi smiled, "Don't you want better-quality weapons? If you want, you can't urge me!"
Liu Mingjing listened and said nothing.
But he began to think in his heart that Mingqi said that I could take 22,000 sets of equipment away in the first lunar month, and that would definitely be speeding up soon.
But should I wait a little longer?
Maybe the second batch will be better?
Ge Songdao said beside him: "Your Highness, I know you have a solution, but what are the difficulties here? Are they craftsmen? Are they raw materials? Are they workshop sites? Or are they confidential?
You said that we can solve all difficulties. As long as you can quickly expand production, it will be a great support for Dakang. We are grateful for it!"
"You don't need to say this. Dakang is also the Dakang of my family." Liu Mingqi said first: "It's just that good things are not in a hurry. Besides, what I want to build is another mysterious weapon. Its consumption is ten times or a hundred times greater than the starting weapon. I am also very anxious, and of course I won't delay it."
"Your Highness, what kind of weapon is this?" Zhou Zhixiao became interested, "Can our border army use it?"
"able!"
Liu Mingqi's jaw head, "The effect is very good. With it, as long as there are sufficient ammunition, you will not be afraid of no matter how many enemies there are!"
"Isn't that even better than a wooden grenade?" Jiang Shaoji rubbed his hands in excitement, "When will we see it?"
"It's going to be a long time..."
Liu Mingqi smiled and said nothing.
Since he didn't tell it, the people present didn't ask. I think the secrets involved are not what they should know now.
However, Ge Songdao was a little confused because the emperor mentioned this to them two days ago.
It is said that the power of this mysterious weapon is ten times or a hundred times more terrifying than a wooden grenade, which is really terrifying!
I really want to see what it is, can it work?
My great-kang can have a stunning and stunning figure like Prince Yu, it is really because the ancestors of China have spirits in heaven!
...
When he returned to the mansion, Liu Mingqi found several guard captains in the mansion.
Song Bo, He Xijian, Zhong Wu, Zhuo Xu and Tang Ziwei.
The five of them were all guards who accompanied Liu Mingqi to the Jiangnan and western Liaoning corridors. Fortunately, they all survived.
That is, He Xijian was scratched on his leg. Now his legs are not very flexible, but he has no problem walking.
Zhuo Xu was cut twice on his shoulder, but after more than two months of cultivation, there was no obstacle in his movements. Thank God.
These guard captains are not in the same line.
The first three belong to retired officers from the Yulin Guard, and the second two are the elites of the Royal Rugby team.
Speaking of which, they were also very miserable. In the end, only 72 people were left to go home.
The Royal Rugby team has been crippled, with only more than 20 people remaining, and there is no way to organize a game.
However, it is best to survive. At least they can enjoy the high salary of Prince Yu's Mansion, and their families will no longer be worried.
In addition, the emperor and the court also rewarded them, such as the "civil righteous men", very generously, even if they were killed in battle.
They all returned to the capital with Liu Mingqi in September. It has been almost two months now, and both physically and mentally, they have recovered well.
I called them here today, of course, because I talked to them about going to Jiangnan to join the Chen family fleet.
Seventy-two people came back, fifty-one of them were intact, and the remaining twenty-one were seriously injured and could no longer fight violently.
Sitting in the seat, Liu Mingqi said straight to the point: "How are you thinking? Just say whatever decision you have! We are all brothers who live and die together. I said that they will always be covered by you, so don't worry about anything!"
Among these people, Song Bo is the oldest. After looking at everyone, he said, "Let me talk first. I am 32 years old this year. I have a monogamous wife, two sons and one daughter. My parents also enjoy the happiness of Prince Yu's mansion, so I have no regrets... So I am willing to open up territory for Your Highness to the sea, but if I can live, I hope I can return to the mansion at the age of 40 and spend more time with my family."
"good!"
Liu Mingqi agreed readily, "Brother Song, this is human nature. You can give them a lesson first, and let the young people fight at that time!"
In this era, forty years old is already half an old man.
Many emperors died at the age of 20 or 30, let alone ordinary people.
So Song Bo's request is still very particular.
Seeing that Liu Mingqi agreed readily, Song Bo said again: "Your Highness, brothers, what I mean is the same as me, everyone is willing to do things for you. But if possible, we will come back together in eight years and then guard the gate for Prince Yu's mansion, which is also considered to be a retirement... Do you think this is OK?"
The boy was slightly stunned and immediately realized that they must have reached an agreement.
The youngest among them seems to be about twenty years old, and eight years later, they are only twenty-eight years later.
It is too early to retire at this age, but it would be quite lonely if you spend eight years on the sea.
When dealing with people, don’t ask too much for others and have too high expectations for yourself.
Even if they come back, they can be teachers of the Naval Academy, teach more naval students and devote themselves to the vast ocean journey.
"All right!"
After thinking about it, Liu Mingqi nodded and agreed: "That's thank you for your hard work! The Chen family's sea fleet is very important to me. After you go, you must study hard and strive to become qualified captains as soon as possible! Only when our own people master the ship can they truly become our strength."
"I understand."
A group of people nodded in unison.
With their qualifications to follow Liu Mingqi to fight thousands of miles, it is certainly impossible for the Chen family's fleet to be an ordinary crew member.
Even if there is a captain, they will be the captain's assistant and learn all kinds of knowledge on the ship.
As long as they can eventually become captains, the fleet will truly become stronger and can fight to the death with those Westerners.
Ordinary merchant ships do not have the spirit of sacrificing their lives and fighting against the enemy.
Only these guards who have experienced several life and death are the best team leader!
