Chapter 179 New Army Design
"It seems I need to explain."
"Just looking at the design drawings, you might not have a very good idea."
"Yang Jian, Huang Chang, please find a craftsman to make a set first."
"Then, let's go in and try it out first."
Lin Yi said, giving the design drawings to Huang Chang and Yang Jian and asked them to do it.
Some of the sewing work is left to others.
The things designed by Lin Yi are actually not very difficult to make.
Even if it is a matchlock gun, all you need to do is change the design of the buttstock.
So it took them an hour to complete the set of equipment designed by Lin Yi.
At this time, Yang Jian came in wearing his equipment.
"Your Highness, General Yu, this is the equipment according to Lin Yi's design."
Having said this, Prince Qing and Yu Jin began to observe the real object.
"The armor is still too thin."
Prince Qing shook his head slightly, but he was still quite satisfied with the overall design.
The helmet, as it is not fully covered, looks somewhat lethal, but the thick vest on the clothing can partially block it.
In fact, when seeing the real thing, Prince Qing had a feeling of "lightness".
If they were to engage in the same battle, the soldier wearing this outfit might have better mobility.
"Lin Yi, you better come and explain it."
Warning said this and asked Lin Yi to come over and introduce himself.
"Then I'll introduce them from top to bottom."
"You can also take a look and see if this ten thousand taels is worth it."
As he spoke, Lin Yi slowly stood up and began to introduce himself.
"This helmet has some sharp corners that can deflect arrows falling from the sky."
“It can also be used to protect some of the things on the front.”
"the most important is……"
Lin Yi took off his helmet and turned it over.
He removed the inner layer of cloth and said, "It can be used as a water filling. In an emergency, it can be used multiple times."
As he said this, he re-installed the cloth that was in contact with the head.
"And then there's this dress."
Lin Yi said, asking Prince Qing and Yu Jin to touch their vests.
When they knocked on it, they heard a dull "dong dong dong" sound.
This is a piece of iron!
"I used a special kind of armor for this outfit."
"The iron plates inside the vest are all removable."
"If the iron sheet is broken, it can be replaced immediately."
As Lin Yi spoke, he picked up the thick piece of metal from Huang Chang's hand and said, "This is called a plug-in plate. You can replace it at any time to ensure that your armor is always up to date during combat."
"This……"
Prince Qing was shocked.
He never thought that armor could be designed like this!
"What if this pocket for the plugboard breaks?"
Early warning raises questions.
"Take a look."
As Lin Yi spoke, he showed the bag to Yu Jin. Inside was a chain mail structure. Even if the outer cloth was broken, the inside would not necessarily be broken!
"This set of equipment is designed for mobility, so only vital areas are protected."
As he said this, he pointed to the elbow pads and knee pads underneath his clothes, both of which were made of iron plates and mail.
"What about injuries?"
"Minor injuries may not have a big impact, but they all need to be treated!"
Yu Jin raised a new question.
“They’ve all been solved.”
Lin Yi said as he asked Yang Jian to take out his backpack.
This is a backpack with a few chain buckle straps. It is not heavy, but at least it can ensure that it will not fall off when you carry it.
"Inside of a little dry food, there are also medicines, bandages and other things."
"If you are injured, you can treat each other or yourself immediately."
Lin Yi said, "There is an opening on the side of this strap that can be used to store gunpowder and projectiles."
As he said this, he demonstrated it on his back.
This... is another amazing invention.
Who would have thought that soldiers could carry backpacks into battle?
"And then, there's this sword."
Lin Yi said as he pulled out the sword. The guard of this sword was different from that of ordinary swords. One of its sides had a circle.
He took the arquebus, inserted his sword into it, and locked it with a click.
"If there were no bullets, this would be a rifle."
"If you take it down and use it alone, it's also a sword."
Before they could recover from their shock, Lin Yi took out a shield beside him.
The shield is not large, but it is retractable and easy to wear.
more importantly……
Lin Yi placed the gun on the shield's bayonet. "In a head-on battle, would a musket like this be so terrifying?"
With one hand holding the shield, the other hand holding the gun and aiming. The gun is quite stable when it is placed on the shield!
The position of the buckle just happened to align with a small notch in the wood below the barrel, seamless...
Not to mention, if a sword is inserted into a spear, it can be transformed into a spear and then used as a front-line weapon to prevent cavalry charges...
Prince Qing swallowed his saliva.
The horror of this thing far exceeds that of a bomb.
With individual soldiers armed to this degree, even a child on the battlefield would be a killing god!
"Is the design fee of 10,000 taels worth it for such a complete set?"
Only when Lin Yi asked this question did Prince Qing and Yu Jin come back to their senses from their shock.
They realized that ten thousand taels was just... a drop in the bucket for this set of magical artifacts!
"Ten thousand taels, too little."
"Thirty thousand taels."
Prince Qing said, "Yu Jin, your Ministry of War will contribute 15,000, and I will contribute 15,000."
"Lin Yi, you have to make this set of equipment completely and give it to Yang Jian and Huang Chang."
"how long it takes?"
He saw Yu Jin nod, so he asked Lin Yi.
"I don't know about that. I'll try my best to teach you."
"After all, I don't understand these martial arts things."
Lin Yi spread his hands to express his helplessness, as he was only responsible for the design.
"Design two sets of things first."
"Huang Chang, Yang Jian, you two should first find a place to train. After that, you can select the soldiers."
Prince Qing said, "I want two hundred men to take back to Liangzhou City, and you, the Ministry of War, will train another five hundred men."
"Yes!"
Yang Jian and Huang Chang saluted with fists clasped.
"Lin Yi, let's put the matter over in Donghai City aside for now. I'm going to report to His Majesty!"
Having said this, Yu Jin left the military camp.
Lin Yi designed such a powerful thing, and he must let His Majesty know first.
For something like this, thirty thousand taels of design fee is a drop in the bucket!
Not long after, Huangfu Qingling came to the military camp in disguise.
When she entered Lin Yi's tent, she saw Huang Chang and Yang Jian fully armed.
"Is this what you designed?"
After a quick look, Huangfu Qingling and Prince Qing both thought it wasn't that powerful at first.
However, when Lin Yi introduced the things, Huangfu Qingling was shocked.
The new army, indeed, lies in a new word!
Huangfu Qingling looked at this multifunctional equipment and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Lin Yi, this set of equipment only costs 30,000 taels?"
Huangfu Qingling felt that thirty thousand taels was great value!
"My offer is ten thousand taels. Your Highness and General Yu asked me to train Yang Jian and Huang Chang."
"Add money."
After Lin Yi explained this, Huangfu Qingling nodded slightly.
"There's no rush for things in Donghai City. I heard you've developed a lot of farmland there, which is perfect for the people to farm peacefully."
Huangfu Qingling nodded slightly, "Don't worry, stay here until autumn."
