Isn't this a bad result?

At least when Garcia Romero led his infantry company across the border from the end of the official road, the Duke of Alva also believed that this result might not be bad.

When they appeared at the end of the official road with their spears, the soldiers on duty on the basin rushed to find Duke Alva, who thought the Ming army was about to attack.

Except for the faces, all the equipment in the Garcia Infantry Company's soldiers were replaced.

They wore a dome hat helmet on their heads, a cast-welded lion's head hanging behind their heads with a red tassel on their heads. Under the hat helmet, there are orange-bottomed red edges to protect their cheeks and necks, and they also have cloth-top armor with red nails on their cloth-tops with red edges on their heads, and they are wearing Ming-jun breastplate.

However, the arms are neither iron arm binding nor Mingjun carrying equipment. They only have leather arm guards on their wrists and a tanned bison leather belt around their waists. They tie a Ming waist knife on the left and tie a wide-blade short knife on the back of the waist.

The cloth armor skirt is also short cloth boots in the Ming army style, wrapped in orange canvas.

They had no spears on their hands, and the corresponding one was that each of them was holding an open-made mesh rope bird gun. They could neither install bayonets nor distribute ammunition. In short, they were asked to carry it out.

The Duke of Alva, who was standing on the bastion, stared at the infantry company parked on the border tax card for a long time before he realized it. He asked Armansa who was with him, "Are they waiting for us to go?"

When Duke Alva arrived with several knights in the basin, he saw a senior Ming army general standing next to the company dressed in neatly and standardized equipment, and Almansa said to him: "That is the commander of the Ming army on the border, Fu Yuan, the general."

"The darker skin general beside him is Du Song, Chen Mu's entourage leader, and the middle-aged man with a beard on the side. The one who didn't laugh was Lin Manjue, the commander of the guerrilla army, who led the green cloak."

"The one riding the white Andalusian horse behind is the Black Cloud Dragon, the cavalry general, who led the Ming cavalry to attack the knights in the battle of the canyon to win."

Several Ming generals talked loudly and looked at the companies next to them with Ming equipment from time to time. Seeing Duke Alva coming out, Fu Yuan rode his horse and walked across the border line quickly, inserted his whip backhand into his waist bag, picked up his fist and bowed, and reported to his home: "Fu Yuan, the general of the border army of the Heavenly Army, the army that Spain wants to borrow has arrived."

Duke Alva was full of doubts. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why Garcia's company was wearing neat Ming armor and holding the Ming people's melee. But it was hard to ask questions at this time, so he had to say hello to Fu Yuan first, and then asked: "What's wrong with their clothes?"

"Oh, you say this. This is what our commander means. In the trade treaty, didn't the Western Army buy our military uniforms? This is the military uniforms specially made for you, as well as armor, waist knives, and bird guns. The commander said this is called a complete set of Mingjiao Company."

Ming Machinery Company?

Fu Yuan only has these three words in Chinese, and other long passages are spoken in Spanish. After all, it is a bit tired to let him say "Mingguo Equipment Company" in Spanish. He squeezed out a smile on his face and then hid, saying, "I'll send you these three hundred sets to you. Let's try it when I want them in the future."

Duke Alva felt good about this 'Ming Machinery Company' and nodded, "They look well-equipped. Please tell General Chen for me. I am very grateful for his gift. How much does it cost to place an order for these equipment?"

Breastplate is not a necessity for Spain. The only thing that Spain's handicraft industry can still have room for development is about the only arsenal in the context of continuous foreign wars. In Toledo, their steel swords, breastplates, and high-top helmets were continuously created.

But the Western Army really needed standard military uniforms very much, because their high-top helmets were imitated in Europe, including the French, Portuguese, Holy Roman and the English. Everyone was using their high-top helmets to imitate their high-top helmets. Once they entered a melee, they could not tell who was who.

In the past, they would issue ropes of different colors to soldiers before the war to tie them to their shoulders to distinguish between enemies and us, because under the European military system, soldiers' clothes and armor were sometimes purchased by individual funds, and it was difficult to achieve the standard effect.

Now Alva looked at the Ming army equipment and a mezzanine. He thought that if the quality is good and the price is lower than that of his own, it might be a good choice to buy weapons and armor directly from the Ming Dynasty.

"The general said that this is a mid-grade military uniform. Including muskets and waist knives, the whole set is 26,000 Tongbao; if you don't have muskets, waist knives, inner and outer clothes and cloth iron armor, it is 9,000 Tongbao, if you don't have cloth iron armor, you only have three,000 Tongbao."

Fu Yuan raised his hand and said, "Sanqian Tongbao looks exactly the same as this one, but there is no iron armor inside and cannot defend against arrows, muskets, swords and stabs."

"If you want other colors, say it in advance and you can do it."

In terms of military uniform pricing, the Military Equipment Bureau has conducted market research, but it is not Spain, but England.

King Alan Zhu Xiaoen knew the price of muskets in England. A combing gun was eighteen to nineteen shillings, which was a high price of nearly ten taels of silver. The cost of a combing gun under the water and firepower chamber bed of the Nanyang Guards' Weapons Bureau has been reduced to less than one tael. Obviously, the Ming Dynasty could make huge profits by selling weapons to Europe.

"As for better and more ordinary military uniforms, Fu has not seen them yet, and he doesn't know the price. If the Duke wants it, he can write to Chen Shuai." Fu Yuan said with a smile: "I heard that the Duke wants to lead his troops back to the sea?"

Fu Yuan's words were not his prediction of the situation like Chen Mu. It was Garcia's words that were leaked at the banquet last night. The old duke obviously guessed the reason. When he heard it, he raised his eyes and stared at Garcia who was standing upright.

Fu Yuanquan pretended not to see the duke's little movements, he raised his hand and pointed to the Western Army Company next to him, saying, "Don't care who the duke is going to fight, teach them how to use muskets. Three months is enough. Then bring them back to Europe. When fighting, see how the Mingjiao Company performs."

Alva did not argue with this. The so-called Mingjiao Company is a heavy armored musketeer. European musketeers usually do not penetrate armor to facilitate quick action. This body is covered with iron armor on cloth and breastplate. How can you move quickly to favor the terrain?

"These heavy armors should be made with swords and shields. It is best to confront the enemy's formation. How can you retreat with a musket?"

“Back?”

Fu Yuan's eyes widened and showed extreme surprise, then nodded in understanding and said, "Yes, your muskets are moving forward while shooting and backing while shooting, so don't move... To be honest, you are quite imposing."
