Upon hearing this, Qin Feng suddenly became proud and wrote lightly: "Why, the fourth sister underestimates me too much! If it were someone else, the salary would be determined by monthly salary or annual salary. And the fourth sister is a world-famous master, like you Naturally, such a famous teacher’s salary should be extremely favorable.”
"That's it! Fourth sister's salary is based on lessons. If you give a lesson to the new army, I will give you five hundred taels of silver!"
Faced with Qin Feng's flattery and the real "high salary offer", Jing Qianying couldn't help but be moved.
Firstly, you can make money, and secondly, you can feel lonely, so why not?
Jing Qianying thought about it for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.
Seeing Jing Qianying agreeing, Qin Feng jumped up with joy and performed an extremely lame "mechanical dance" on the spot, which made Jing Qianying frown.
As a result, all three eldest ladies of the Qin family were poached by Qin Feng.
The eldest sister Shen Qingci is in charge of the bookstore's business.
The second sister, Liu Hongyan, is in charge of accounting.
The fourth sister Jing Qianying, as a "special instructor", teaches the new army martial arts.
The camp that Qin Feng had carefully built at all costs finally began to get on the right track.
In order to give everyone a sense of belonging, Qin Feng even sent Qin Xiaofu to spend a lot of money to build a plaque and hang it on the gate of the camp, with three characters "Tianji Camp" written on it.
That's right, the words "Tianjiying" were also plagiarized by Qin Feng.
Anyway, you don’t have to worry about being defended!
Since Comrade Lao Qin was too busy recently and couldn't take care of his family, Qin Feng simply lived in Tianji Camp and began to design weapons for the new army.
The previously designed crossbow and Mo Dao had been fully handed over to the Ministry of Industry for production. Qin Feng saved a lot of effort and devoted all his attention to the design of the armor.
The quality of the armor will directly affect the combat effectiveness of the new army!
Since ancient times, anyone who hides armor privately has committed a serious crime of beheading.
This shows how important armor was to ancient warfare.
In terms of defensive capabilities, plate armor is the leader among all types of armor, especially European plate armor. It is not used for defense with bows and arrows, but with muskets. And due to the gradual improvement of technology, each joint of European plate armor has strong flexibility, but its weaknesses are also relatively obvious.
Firstly, it was inconvenient to wear, secondly, it was too heavy, and thirdly, the raw material was steel. After careful consideration, Qin Feng gave up the idea of making plate armor.
Ordinary armor, on the other hand, is not very effective in protecting against arrows.
The design concept of the new army's armor must follow three major elements.
First, it is light and flexible, second, it can protect against most types of arrows, and third, it is easy to hide. After comprehensive consideration, and with reference to later generations of "body armor", the prototype of the New Army's armor was gradually designed by Qin Feng.
The front chest and back are made of two thin iron plates. A layer of bamboo is attached to the inside of the iron plate. Firstly, the iron plate can be thickened, adding a little better defense than nothing. Secondly, the thickness of the iron plate can be increased, even if the iron plate is hit by an arrow. Shooting through, under the obstruction of bamboo pieces, the depth of the arrow is reduced as much as possible, weakening the damage suffered by the armored person.
From the beginning, Qin Feng did not intend to completely guard against the arrow, but to weaken the lethality of the arrow.
The limbs are pierced with scales, taking advantage of the characteristics of the piercing armor to weaken the kinetic energy of the arrows, or directly "bounce" the arrows away.
In this way, it is both lightweight and capable of protecting against arrows.
Although facing the regular army, he was at a huge disadvantage, but Qin Feng had no intention of letting the new army fight head-on with the regular army, and eliminated the possibility of close combat from the beginning.
If you can beat me, then fight, if you can't, then run away!
Finally, in order to prevent this armor from being too ugly, it is all lined and wrapped with a layer of fabric on the outside, which not only plays a beautiful role but also makes it easy to hide.
Qin Feng called Qin Xiaofu, sent the designed armor blueprint to Lu Ming, and immediately began to build the first batch of new army armor, numbering three hundred.
Only after the three hundred guards are equipped and verified in actual combat can we decide whether to continue to build them.
After armor, come weapons.
The main weapon of the new army is not a weapon, but a bow and arrow!
Since the main role of the new army is to fight guerrillas, it must use the word guerrilla to its fullest extent. Any close encounter, no matter how well-equipped, will inevitably cause casualties.
If the main weapon is changed to a bow and arrow, and the tactics adhere to the tactics of "when the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy retreats, we pursue, and when the enemy is tired, we attack", casualties can be reduced as much as possible.
Although the hard bow is good, has strong penetrating power and has a long range, it is ignored by Qin Feng because it requires too much physical strength and is inconvenient to maneuver.
After comprehensive consideration, Qin Feng finally decided to use the short and powerful 'Mongolian Cavalry Bow'.
There are two types of secondary weapons.
The first is the combination of a rifle, which cuts a rifle into three sections. Except for the tip of the rifle, the rod is made of wood, and a "bayonet connector" is inlaid at the beginning and end.
It is usually stored in a bag and placed side by side with the quiver. If you are forced into a desperate situation by the cavalry, you can group together and fight.
Since the rod is not a whole, its strength will be greatly reduced, and it can only be used for 'piercing'.
The last secondary weapon is a short sword.
Firstly, it can overcome thorns and thorns, and secondly, it can also be unexpected.
After sending the weapon spectrum to Lu Ming, the next step is practical equipment.
Since they have to go deep behind enemy lines, the loss of arrows is a problem they have to face. Therefore, the new army is equipped with "ammunition bags" to pack the arrows prepared in advance. If the arrows are consumed, they can use them locally. Trim the wooden sticks and connect arrows to achieve the effect of replenishing arrows.
Military rations are also a big problem.
The most portable and durable military ration is naturally compressed biscuits.
However, due to the lack of puffed powder and high-pressure technology, Qin Feng could only design a castrated version of the compressed biscuits.
Rice noodles are mixed with nutrients such as sugar, oil, and minced meat.
After mixing, use a mold to compact it as much as possible, and then air-dry it. Although the smell is terrible, it can save lives on the battlefield.
As a result, the basic equipment prototype of the new army has been finalized.
At first, Qin Feng planned to form a cavalry, but after much thought, he suppressed the idea.
Daliang was already short of horses, and the endurance and speed of the local horses were not as good as those of the Beidi horses. In addition, with the temporarily trained cavalry, it would be a bit fanciful to face the battle-hardened Beidi cavalry.
Qin Feng had no choice but to devote all his energy to the new army itself.
With Qin Feng's repeated investment, the entire Tianji camp has developed the fastest with the workshop.
In addition to Lu Ming and the Kyoto craftsmen hired at high prices, many private craftsmen were also recruited from surrounding areas, with the total number reaching 300.
The wages of craftsmen alone are terrifying!
But in order to form a new army capable of conquering and fighting, Qin Feng could only grit his teeth and keep throwing money at it.
The workshop was fully powered, and in just four days, all the weapons and equipment requested by Qin Feng were built.
At the same time, under the 'training' of Jing Qianying, Shufeng, and Ning Hu Xu Mo, the three hundred guards were completely numb.
Numbness means fighting power!
When Qin Feng ordered to summon three hundred guards.
The people who were previously called "security soldiers" have undergone earth-shaking changes.
He held his head high and kept his eyes straight. The entire campus was deathly silent, and not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
But even so, the murderous aura emanating from the three hundred guards had already surpassed all the regular troops Qin Feng had come into contact with.
Qin Feng was quite satisfied with the training results. His face was full of smiles, but his heart was bleeding.
"Damn it! I spent all this money on this!"
If you pull out a guard at random, all the expenses added up are enough to train a battalion of soldiers!
