Although the court did not prepare, Jinan had already begun various pre-war preparations, several small earth building protection, and then the placement of artillery. Of course, the reason was very simple - to use winter leisure to recruit people to serve as labor service as a commissioner. Even fellow villagers began to gather and practice on the excuse of winter leisure. In short, winter leisure became the only excuse.

Although the outside world doesn't know, he always knows some news about the followers of the prince like Liang Minghai, so Liang Minghai told the prince that he had been suppressing for many days.

"Criminal Master, when I went to the warehouse to pull cannons a while ago, I saw that there were a lot of iron cabinets there, and those iron cabinets were made of high-quality stainless steel."

Iron cabinet?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Guoqiang was stunned at first, and then remembered what he was talking about.

"Oh, you mean those collections... Iron cabinets, what's wrong?"

It was just some railway containers. In order to facilitate the "transportation" of scattered materials, Zhu Guoqiang spent a lot of effort to find that the specifications of the 10-ton railway container were similar to the size limits of the materials that crossed. These days, they have been transporting materials in containers. However, they have never considered the use of containers. After his reminder, it was indeed a bit difficult.

"The villain thinks that it is a waste to put those steel there? If it can be used to build armor, it would be a good idea!"

"armor?"

"Yes, the prince, it's armor. Although we have nearly 20,000 sets of armor that have been seized from Jiannu, if we really fight, we are almost 100,000 young people. This armor is still a bit lacking, so I think it's better to use those fine steel to make armor."

Create armor!

Liang Minghai's suggestion immediately made a picture appear in Zhu Guoqiang's mind - Plate Armor!

Container steel plate!

That's a good material for making plate armor!

After he reminded this, Zhu Guoqiang realized that he seemed to be in a misunderstanding. He has been focusing on the construction of military equipment such as cannons and muskets, and even musket parts ordered from another world... But firearms are easy to manufacture, but training firearms, especially those who train officers who use firearms, is a time-consuming and laborious process.

Moreover, providing muskets of 100,000 people is also a big project. Although musket parts can be ordered from another world to assemble here, that is 100,000... This risk is too great.

Now that Liang Minghai reminded him, Zhu Guoqiang suddenly realized that those containers were there, which seemed to be too wasteful. Besides, he really needed armor. After all, it was inevitable that he would need hand-to-hand combat at this time. Wearing a bright armor was definitely more scary than using a musket.

"Armor, well, good, Minghai, your suggestion is good, I think it's OK, but this armor cannot be made casually, I think... Well, let the craftsmen in the factory make new Western armor according to the drawings!"

The so-called "Western Armor" is naturally the plate Armor.

The drawings of the plate armor do not even need to be deliberately searched, so it is easy to find a complete set of drawings from the Internet.

The drawings are ready-made, and the tools are also ready-made. There are ready-made hydraulic hammers on the factory, and even steel plates are in stock. Not only are there 1.5 mm to 2 mm thick cold-rolled steel plates on dozens of railway containers available for disassembly, as long as Zhu Guoqiang is willing, he can buy hundreds of tons of cold-rolled steel plates from the market at any time.

The only question is how to use...

"Armor, heavy infantry..."

The iron armor seized from Jiannu in the room was staring at, and his eyes turned to another set of plate armor bought from Taobao. This set of armor was used as a sample.

Zhu Guoqiang said to himself.

"I will also use heavy infantry to overcome heavy infantry in the future?"

The reason why Zhu Guoqiang was so six was different from what many people imagined. The Jiannu Eight Banners, known as the "Mandarin riding and shooting", has been constantly strengthening their military level since their beginnings, especially the armor protection of heavy infantry. From the time when he was able to seize 20,000 pieces of armor under the city of Jinan, we can see that the armor rate of the Eight Banners Army was so high. Among them, the heavy armor infantry among them was the best in the East Asian continent of this era. The heavy armor they used had a good protective effect on the Ming army's firearms and bows.

To fight against it, you must have your own large-scale heavy armor infantry force. Of course, this is not the only choice. In fact, Zhu Guoqiang can completely choose muskets and use large-caliber muskets to fight armor. In fact, at this time, plate armor was in a position of being eliminated in Europe.

In fact, the birth of the plate armor is actually very embarrassing. It is a bit like a martial arts master who has been practicing hard for 30 years to achieve peerless martial arts. On the way down the mountain, he shot several slimes and bandits holding kitchen knives. He walked into the city with great enthusiasm and found that all the masters were playing with mullets... He used his life to catch two pistol bullets, and the third one flew over, which was fired by heavy Musket, a generation of masters - Kuros.

"But the canned soldiers are scary!"

As he talked to himself, a square array of canned soldiers appeared in Zhu Guoqiang's mind. How powerful can such canned soldiers would be to the people of the Ming Dynasty in this era? There was no need to imagine how much.

When thousands of "canned soldiers" appear on the land of Qilu, what will those people be shocked? The effect is definitely not comparable to thousands of muskets. What's more, in hand-to-hand combat, troops equipped with heavy armor often have unparalleled advantages. Even musket soldiers need to fight against the enemy in the end. Of course, more importantly, their officers are now more familiar with cold weapon combat.

"Actually, use "can soldiers" to fight hand-to-hand, and... trapped in the battle?"

Crashing?

When this word came to my mind, Zhu Guoqiang naturally thought of the Three Kingdoms camp. This unique army was not large in number, but it was extremely brave in combat.

"The more than 700 soldiers I commanded were called thousands of people, and the armor was so sophisticated and neat. Every attack was broken. It was called the "Sank Camp"... Tsk, not bad, not bad..."

As he knocked on the Taobao version of the plate armor, Zhu Guoqiang's eyes narrowed into a slit.

"It's not impossible to trap a camp, why do you have to use a musket and spear formation? If you use a musket to shoot at a long time, and then use canned soldiers to trap a battle?"

At this moment, a picture seemed to appear in front of him. The picture was so exciting. Thousands of "can soldiers" were charging in battle, Buddha blocked and killed Buddha, and god blocked and killed gods. That scene was really...

In this era, these "can soldiers" wearing plate armor made of high-quality cold-rolled steel plates from the 21st century are definitely unblocked in the battlefield, and can even be said to be invincible.

After all, ordinary bows, arrows, muskets are basically invalid unless they are close-range. They are not "canned soldiers" but they are clearly a group of "human tanks" from the 17th century!

"At that time, this will be my tank unit!"

Zhu Guoqiang, immersed in that picture, touched the silver plate armor and said to himself,

"You guys stand there obediently... let your brains cut off your head!"

Just when he was excited, the voices outside the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Criminal, there is news coming from the capital."

Before Shi Lei could enter the room, the voice came in.

"The prince, it's true as you expected - Jiannu broke through the wall and entered the pass!"
