Chapter Seventy-Nine: Training Begins (3)
On the morning of 11 April, more than 1,000 sergeants from the Jiangdongmen Qianhu Institute stood in formation on the school ground outside the Qianhu Institute under the leadership of their respective 100 households, the general flag, and the small flag.
At the front of the team stood ten hundred households, they were Gou Xingma, Yan Di, Guanghai, He Sheng, Xu Li, Cao Yingyu, Mao Guang, Zhou Shi, Cui Yang, Li Zheng and other ten people. These ten people were also wearing the plate armor that Yang Feng brought from modern society to cover their whole bodies, wearing an eight-petal hat helmet on their heads, and carrying a horse chopping knife around their waists, all of them looked at their subordinates expressionlessly.
Next to the team, Qi Yan, who was the pacification officer, led more than a dozen people from the military law team to stand beside the team with their waists upright, staring at the team with fierce eyes, once someone violated the military regulations, they would unceremoniously pull him out to enforce the military law.
On the school field, Yang Feng was wearing a grass-green camouflage training uniform, and on the outside was wearing a plate armor that almost covered his whole body, with an eight-petal hat helmet on his head, and a huge horse chopping knife on his waist.
If outsiders were to see it at this time, they would definitely be speechless with surprise, because all the sergeants on the school floor were all in full body armor, and all of them were iron armor, and these iron armor was composed of ten pieces of armor composed of breastplates, shoulder pads, arm armor, and thighs and calves.
This armor is Yang Feng commissioned the modern society Minghu Iron and Steel Factory to make, although the steel used by ordinary sergeants are ordinary steel plates, but even so relative to this era, these steel plates are equivalent to the level of refined steel, Yang Feng has done experiments, ordinary arrows and knives and guns are difficult to damage it, only the use of mace, heavy axes and other heavy weapons can cause more serious damage to it.
And such a suit of armor is only thirty-six catties, the reason why it can have such a good effect is because these plate armors are made of stainless steel, if it is made of wrought iron, there are no eighty catties can not achieve such an effect, and Yang Feng specially made for the officers made of high-strength steel plate plate The protection is stronger. However, it is also worth mentioning that the helmets of the sergeants are also different from the officers, but their helmets are steel helmets bought by Yang Feng from modern society, and the school field is full of roundness at a glance.
When Geng Bingyi, Cao Yingmao and other officers who saw the effect of these plate armor for the first time were almost all frightened when they saw the amazing protective power of these plate armor, in fact, not to mention these officers who had never experienced a battle formation, even Yang Daniu, who had just come from Liaodong and often fought with Manchurian soldiers, was also startled, and bluntly said that if the Liaodong army could have such a strong armor weapon, I don't know how many brothers would be killed and injured.
Of course, while lamenting the amazing protection of these plate armors, many people are also secretly smacking their tongues, such a body of armor with amazing full body protection, with the current price level, there is no one hundred taels of silver can not be purchased at all, and thousands of adults buy more than a thousand pairs, just to buy these armor will need more than 100,000 taels of silver, such a generous hand simply stunned everyone.
In these teams, there is a small flag leader in every ten people, each small flag has a small red flag on the left arm as a certificate to lead the whole team, every five small flags are under the command of a general flag, behind each general flag is a blue flag, every two general flags form a hundred households, and next to each hundred households is a flag bearer holding a high red flag with one person.
After the whole army finished marching, under Yang Feng's order, dozens of logistics and heavy sergeants wearing camouflage uniforms pushed carts to the school grounds, and under the orders of the officers, the sergeants lined up and began to collect their weapons.
For the establishment of these people, Yang Feng distributed them like this, he assigned spears to 200 people as pikemen, shields and swords as sword and shield soldiers to 200 people, large shields as heavy shields to 200 people, and the remaining 400 people were assigned flintlock torches as weapons, so that the distribution of troops was basically finalized.
Among these weapons, the shield, the sword, and the shield are easy to say, but the production of the flintlock is really wrinkled. After placing the order, Yang Feng found Hang Weihu of the Minghu Iron and Steel Plant to entrust him to make a batch of front-loading rifled guns, and made it clear that he was willing to pay a high price for it. Hang Weihu was taken aback at first when he heard his request, and then shook his head helplessly and refused, saying that everything else was easy to say, but he had no way to make the rifle inside the barrel for the time being.
After listening to Hang Weihu's answer, Yang Feng was quite frustrated, and finally asked if he could make a batch of front-loading smoothbore guns, for which he was willing to pay the price of 3,000 yuan each. Looking at Yang Feng's seductive smile and attractive price, Hang Weihu was shaken, since he even helped make armor, horse knives and spears, then it shouldn't be a big deal to build a few smoothbore guns now, as for Yang Fengfeng will not use these smoothbore guns to do evil, to be honest, Hang Weihu was also worried, but then he thought about it and was relieved, or that reason, now even Uncle Black in Africa knows how to use AK47, Yang Feng will not be worse than Uncle Black.
Five hundred front-loading smoothbore guns were made in a few days, in fact, with the developed industrial capacity of modern society, as long as you know the production process and principle, even a small workshop can make AK47, let alone this antique front-loading smoothbore gun. The biggest difficulty in making a gun is how to carve the rifle in the barrel, while a smoothbore gun does not have this difficulty.
Hang Weihu urgently summoned several senior mechanics to begin to search for information from the Internet, and finally decided to imitate the famous eighteenth century British-made brown bass flintlock pistol, with the efforts of several senior technicians, they only took a week to successfully try to produce this grandfather-level antique flintlock pistol, after the experiment, Yang Feng was pleasantly surprised to find that this textile imitation is better than the original performance, more durable, longer range, and higher accuracy.
The overjoyed Yang Feng took out a million cash as a bonus and sent it to Hang Weihu and several senior technicians who participated in the production, but what he didn't know was that Hang Weihu, who got the money, did not have much sense of achievement, in his opinion, if he couldn't even imitate a breech gun that belonged to the ancestor level three hundred years ago, then he, a master's student who graduated from mechanical manufacturing, could also jump off the building.
The most surprising thing for Hang Weihu is that his steel mill earned 1.5 million just by helping Yang Feng make this batch of breech guns, and after discarding the cost, he made a net profit of about 1 million, and this only took him a week, plus the armor, weapons and other things created for Yang Feng, Hang Weihu earned at least 2.5 million this week. This is almost equivalent to four or five months' profit for a small factory with less than 100 employees, but this time it took him less than ten days.
It is well said in Capital that when the profit reaches 300 percent, the capitalist is willing to trample on almost any law in the world, and after seeing so many red banknotes this time, Hang Weihu's original belief began to waver, and I don't know when his heart began to imagine how to make rifled guns and artillery......
