Chapter 683 Reserve Arms (3)

In the Luo Family's firearm workshop, Zheng Liangzheng inspected the forging process of various weapons while recalling the current military reserves of the Luo Family.

Currently, the Luo family's warehouse has reserved 200,000 stones of grain, more than 42,000 taels of gold, more than 3,500 taels of silver, eighty thousand stagnant copper coins, three,500 spear heads, one,500 bows and 50,000 bundles of nearly 250,000 feather arrows, and three,000 samurai swords.

In addition to the above-mentioned arms, there are:

Black Hawk Dagger. Since the dagger is easy to hide and is even more a weapon for assassination and self-defense, since the craftsmen of the Weapon Workshop created the first sample based on the drawings of Zhengliang, it quickly became the favorite of the Black Hawk Ninja team of the Luo family. Later, these daggers were successively welcomed by the Luo family, such as the Detective Fan, so this kind of knife named the Black Hawk Dagger by Zhengliang has become the most widely popular weapon among the Luo family. Currently, less than 100 daggers are stored in the warehouse of the Luo family. Almost every batch was created, it was immediately claimed by the Changfang and the retainers. In order to leave a little reserve, Zhengliang had to suspend the distribution of these Black Hawk daggers and limited it to only provide it to the Black Hawk for use (Masayori was also worried that a retainer who was planning to rebel would take a Black Hawk to assassinate him).

In terms of the Flying Fire Meteor projection vehicles, there are currently ten projection vehicles in the territory. Since the projection vehicles that were first on the battlefield in the previous strategy of the Chuanqian Kingdom had an unexpected siege effect, the Weapon Workshop is stepping up the production of this type of projection vehicles. By the end of this year, it is expected that the number of projection vehicles in the Luo family's warehouse can increase to twenty.

In terms of siege ladders, these siege ladders have shown some shortcomings in previous siege battles. Therefore, after the continuous transformation of the weapon workshop, these siege ladders can adapt to most of the mountain and flat terrain. The siege ladders will become another weapon for the Luo Family's siege. Currently, thirty siege ladders are stored in the warehouse (due to excessive length, storage is indeed inconvenient. Generally, the Luo Family Workshop uses temporary overtime to create more siege ladders before the war, and thirty spares are enough).

The main weapon of the city breaker is a thick log that is hung on the beam with ropes or iron chains inside. The log has a metal cap at the back end and a metal head at the front end, which is mostly made into a sheep's head shape. It is called a siege ram. When siege, the soldiers in the siege ram are jointly grasped by the soldiers in the siege ram and then move backwards and then violently crashed into the city gate. Relying on inertia and kinetic energy to destroy the latch structure behind the city gate or the door. This is Liu Ye transformed it from the city breaker car in the Ming** team to adapt to the terrain that is mostly mountainous in Japan. It is still in the test stage, so there is only one in the warehouse.

As the essential equipment for regular foot lights, the Luo Family's warehouse reserves can be equipped with five regular foot light teams at the same time, that is, a total of 3,000 units. A complete set of contents can be divided into three parts, namely, cushion, and small sets (cage hand, cushion, and cushion). Therefore, making a complete set of contents not only requires a lot of materials, but also takes a lot of time. Therefore, while ensuring that the Luo Family's weapons workshop can ensure that such a large amount of reserves is available, it is already valuable.

Masayoshi believed that the number of Luo family members at this time was definitely the largest number of major names in Japan. You should know that in some daimyo families, only generals are qualified to wear such equipment (the trunks of Japanese armor are collectively called "Don", so you often see expressions like "Xiao and Ao" in historical documents, but this does not mean that these armors belong to Duwan or full, but are just naming the trunk family. It can be seen that these precious things are).

Moreover, the Luo family has made some improvements to these complete features. For example, only the Luo family has the full features. This type of piercing acts as a protective thigh. It is also painted with a black eagle pattern on it. This is used as a symbol of the Luo family's equipment.

In addition, the weapon workshop has transformed the Luo family's completeness based on the characteristics of general armor in the past:

From the perspective of the complete fixing method, the shoulders are still fixed by means of fitting and high buttons fixed on the breast deck. The opening on the ribs continues the tradition since the Great Armor, and the opening is set on the left. However, the complete design has been improved on the previous medieval armor of the Great Armor. The shoulders are no longer reliant on the shoulders to bear the weight of the entire armor, but the weight is distributed to various parts of the body.

By observing the Luo family's completeness, we can see that the complete trunk part is basically a cylindrical shape with both ends contracting, rather than a simple box structure. Through such a design, part of the weight can be shared to the entire trunk, which greatly improves the wearer's flexibility.

Because the original intention was to appear as armor for practical hiking, the importance of defense and maneuverability was mentioned above decorativeness. There are many different methods of making the entire **, but in the Luo family, the body mostly uses iron sheets of 0.8mm (the unit was introduced when the weights and measures of Zhengliang unified territory). The sleeves of the shoulder armor generally use the same protective measures as the body. The cage hand of the arm armor also needs to be strengthened on the original basis of armor such as the large armor, so the weapon workshop uses fine rope armor on the cage hand to achieve this goal.

After the iron cannon was introduced to the local area, in order to prevent bulletproof, the weapon workshop also made some improvements to the bulletproof in the suggestion put forward by Masayoshi. For example, the dove-breasted body used by the Luo family at this time formed a protruding protruding in the middle of the breastplate to create a bulletproof incline, which is very similar to the practice of contemporary European breastplate.

Some breakthroughs have also been made in the production process of armor. Because other manufacturing techniques outside the territory are used in the production workshop, the production methods of armor are too complicated. It is mainly to combine small pieces of scrolls to form armor, which is difficult to cope with the needs of large-scale production. Therefore, Zhengliang told the weapons workshop the armor production form of Yi Yuzha and Banzha in his memory. After some exploration, the craftsmen in the workshop finally mastered these two production techniques, which greatly reduced the production time.

The reason why Zhengliang spent so much energy to transform and improve the full is mainly because among the Luo family's regular combat power, Changfu is the largest force, so they can be said to be the main combat power of the Luo family. And every Changfu family's regular growth requires a lot of resources. It can be said that they are the precious resource of the Luo family. Therefore, Zhengliang naturally has to spend a lot of energy to create these Changfu equipment to protect them. In order to strengthen the cohesion of Changfu family with the Luo family, Zhengliang named this kind of Luo family's completeness.

In terms of armor, since this is the regular equipment of retainers, generals and warriors, it will vary according to personal circumstances. However, for the samurai team directly under the command of Masayoshi, the armor structure of the Ming Dynasty was used to refer to the armor structure of the Ming Dynasty and use an armor named Luo Family Armor by Masayoshi. This armor is made of copper and iron, and the shape of the armor is mostly made of "mountain" patterns, which are exquisitely made and lightly worn. Below the waist, it is also equipped with iron mesh skirts and mesh trousers, and iron mesh boots. Due to the limitations of production technology and raw materials, the Luo Family's warehouse currently only has more than 300 pairs of Luo Family Armor.
