Chapter 104 Equipment
Fusu got Ying Zheng's permission and after leaving the palace, he strolled to find Meng Tian.
Meng Tian has recently transferred his post, but his position is only high and not low, and he is in charge of the elite stationed in the royal city.
Fusu wanted to borrow someone from him last time, Meng Tian turned around and told Ying Zheng. Although he had a close relationship with Fusu, he was always loyal to Ying Zheng. If Fusu said he wanted someone, he would give him someone immediately. He still had to nod.
When Fusu heard that Ying Zheng had agreed, Meng Tian relieved and led Fusu to pick people. While walking into the military camp, Meng Tian asked, "What do you want from the young master?"
Fusu said: "I prepared a birthday gift for my father and needed a group of trustworthy elite soldiers to show it."
Even though he had already taken over the land of the Three Jins, Qin still had several fierce battles to fight. Fusu calculated the funds needed before and after, and then examined the existing weapons and weapons, and decided to do some things to reduce the loss of the war.
Of course, what is more important is to be beneficial to the situation of the war and make the war end faster.
As for whom the father chooses as the chief general and how to fight the battle, that is not something he is good at, and he will still not interfere.
Meng Tian heard Fusu say he wanted to show his birthday gift, so he didn't ask much.
The things Fusu has never been bad, and giving them to Fusu has an extra chance to show his face in front of Ying Zheng. Meng Tian helped to choose the best one hundred people for Fusu. They are not only very energetic, but also tall, brave and handsome.
Fusu looked at the people whom Meng Tian named him and felt very satisfied. He asked with a smile where they all came from and if they had married.
When talking about marriage, everyone became excited. It was either that there was a fat boy in his family or that he would become a bachelor when he hadn't asked for a wife yet.
Fusu said, "Then you have to work harder. You may not be sure that your father will like you at that time, so I will give you a wife."
"That's good!" After Fusu encouraged him, everyone was ready to look forward to it, hoping to show off their extraordinary martial arts skills in front of Ying Zheng immediately.
After a while of casual conversation, the atmosphere became lively. Fusu deliberately got along with them, and he became extremely harmonious when he got along, and he had a certain understanding of each other while talking.
Only then did Fusu make three rules with them, saying that the things they get next must not be leaked.
After communicating with the one hundred masters, Fusu and Meng Tian said, and left with the one hundred people.
Meng Tian was very curious: I wonder what new things have come up with Fusu this time?
Just now, Fusu carefully touched the bottom of the 100 people and solemnly prevented them from leaking the matter. Meng Tian endured it even though he wanted to go and checked it out. He only reported the matter to Ying Zheng truthfully, saying that Fusu had picked up 100 people.
Ying Zheng asked calmly: "Did Fusu tell you what you want to do?"
Meng Tian shook her head.
Ying Zheng knew Meng Tian’s temperament, and Fusu didn’t take the initiative to say that Meng Tian would definitely not go to inquire, so he didn’t ask again. Anyway, Fusu was preparing a birthday gift for him, and he would definitely know what Fusu was doing in a short while!
Fusu asked for people and arranged them to be in a closed training camp affiliated with the Shaofu Yamen. The utensils needed for the training camp were made directly from the Shaofu Yamen workshops, and they were all the most reliable craftsmen. The news was strictly blocked throughout the process, and no one could find out what was being done in the training camp.
In fact, Fusu did not interfere with the daily training of these hundred people, and still allowed them to practice like they were under Meng Tian's hands, only adding the same content: try out new equipment.
This equipment is first of all, armor clothes. Traditional armor clothes don’t use many iron tools, and the protective effect is not very strong. However, even armor clothes with weak protection can’t be used by many soldiers. Most of them rely on the spirit of not fearing death to fight the enemy. Low-level soldiers even have to bring their own clothes.
The armor selected by Fusu is more protective, with more round guards on the chest and back, which is used as a heart protection mirror. The parts of other parts have also been improved, making the whole person look majestic when worn. The only problem is that the cost is relatively expensive, consumes more iron, and cannot be equipped on a large scale.
Fusu originally didn't plan to equip the entire army, but just made a set of dazzling and easy-to-use armored clothes that looked more stylish.
The focus of his display is actually the divine arm crossbow, stirrup, and horseshoe.
Needless to mention the divine arm crossbow, the Qin soldiers have always used it very easily. No one can compare to the Qin State, whether it is a grassland or an eastern country.
The divine arm crossbow has changed to a certain extent based on the original crossbow. The so-called divine arm refers to the fact that it seems to borrow a hand from the gods. The person who uses it can use less force to shoot the crossbow arrow further away, and the penetration power is stronger. Generally, the armored clothes cannot be blocked at all!
If anyone can distance himself from weapons during a war between the two armies, the chance of overwhelming victory will definitely be much greater, and no one can deny this.
In fact, stirrups and horseshoes, two seemingly inconspicuous gadgets, are the top priority.
First of all, they are very small, so small that all horses can be equipped with; secondly, they are simple in technology and very fast in production, and they can produce a batch without much effort; finally, they are very useful, equipped with stirrups, and cavalry can better control the horses, reduce the possibility of injury, and equipped with horseshoes can effectively reduce the loss of horseshoes and extend the service life of war horses and transport horses!
So, these two small things are very important.
Fusu picked up a hundred elite troops to come, just to let them try out the war horses with stirrups and horseshoes, and then practice a few fancy formations. After leading Ying Zheng over, he could see the uses of these things intuitively, so as not to have to introduce them dryly with his mouth!
Since they were selected by Meng Tian, these hundred elites were naturally the elite among the elites, and they were still very enterprising. After listening to Fusu’s introduction one by one, they immediately started to put on new armor clothes and then tried out new crossbows. In the end, they rode the war horse that was also equipped with new things.
Once they get on the horse's back, they realize that it's different. They are usually good at horse training. They will obey any kind of fierce horse when they get to their hands. After having stirrups, they feel completely different. They can not only use weapons to attack more relaxedly, but also change directions more flexibly and easily!
Don’t underestimate this flexibility, this may be a decisive advantage on the battlefield!
The 100 soldiers were excited and took the initiative to discuss and show their tricks with Fusu. For example, during this period, they divided into two teams to fight each other every day. On one side were ordinary war horses and ordinary equipment, and on the other side were both men and horses used new equipment, and they took turns to train every day. Then, there would be a battle between the two sides in front of Ying Zheng!
Fusu smiled and said, "It's not that trouble. Just train. General Meng and I discussed picking another hundred cavalry out, and you can fight them directly, so that the effect will be more obvious."
This proposal is so appealing to everyone. When everyone thinks that the former comrades might be beaten to pieces by themselves, everyone is very excited and wishes to welcome Ying Zheng's birthday immediately.
However, no matter how excited the training and running-in are, they still have to do a good job in training and running-in. There is no need to mobilize Fusu. They have actively organized training plans and said that they will definitely live up to the opportunities given by Fusu.
Seeing that they promised this way, Fusu no longer interfered and let them control it freely.
