Iron Dynasty

Chapter 94: Qingzhou Army

   In the dim night, the businessmen who came to visit Xiao Ming left one after another.

   Xiao Ming asked Luluo to hand over the bills that Luluo wrote down to Li Kaiyuan. These businessmen are only verbal promises, and there is a question mark whether they can be realized.

   But he doesn't care that they will breach the contract, because the introduction of the membership system makes these businessmen no longer have any reason to use the banner of the king and the prince to ask favors.

   And he used this system to not only regulate the merchant’s status and code of conduct in the chamber of commerce, but also to obtain a lot of benefits for his fief.

The news of    membership system spread quickly among businessmen.

   In order to obtain the distribution rights of glass in advance, many merchants don't hesitate to save money and donate to the Chamber of Commerce to obtain the qualifications for early access to the goods.

   And those businessmen who do not have sufficient funds can only look at the Chamber of Commerce and sigh, hoping to accumulate slowly and one day become one of the members of the Chamber of Commerce.

   In a short period of time, a large number of donations from the merchants who came to the Chamber of Commerce brought some materials to Qingzhou.

   "Your Majesty, this trick is really powerful. Just a member made these merchants spit out a lot of money. I didn't expect that this time the Cao family in Jiangnan could not sit still and directly donated a bronze member."

   Tuojiang Wharf, Li Kaiyuan looked at the cargo ships entering the wharf continuously, and said to Xiao Ming excitedly.

   Xiao Ming didn't expect that the glass this time would actually catch the big fish of the Cao family. For so long, the Cao family has been keeping a distance from Xiao Ming, and he would not be calm this time.

   "The Cao family used to look down on those petty profits. Now that the glass comes out, and the membership system promises to sell technology, the Cao family is naturally tempted." Xiao Ming said.

   There are a lot of things that a bronze member needs to donate. This time, the Cao family has done a lot of money, which made Qingzhou's treasury a lot fatter.

   "But the Cao family's business is all over the world, if they let him get the glass in advance, they will definitely make a lot of profits in the short term," Li Kaiyuan said.

"We don't care about this. No matter what, they always pay for the money they take from us. The more they sell, the more we make." Xiao Ming was in a good mood during this time. The membership system once again provided him with a lot of capital and labor.

   Qingzhou’s construction can continue to trot forward, otherwise it can only move forward.

   This time Xiao Ming came out, one to see the donated materials, and the other to see the training of the Qingzhou Army.

   After chatting with Li Kaiyuan on the dock for a while, and instructing him to organize a merchant ship to sell glassware as soon as possible, he rode to Qingzhou Daying.

In this short period of time, the production of the steel workshop has not stopped. On the contrary, because of the skill of the craftsman, the production speed has been greatly improved. Now the Qingzhou Army’s plate armor has been delivered, and there are 3,000 sets of weapons. In one or two months, the Qingzhou Army estimates You can achieve a set of plate armor for each soldier.

   In addition to the plate armor, the workshop also delivered a thousand Mo swords, five hundred sets of crossbow arrows, and some shields and knives.

   At the Qingzhou camp, Xiao Ming outside the door heard Lu Fei and the soldiers shouting inside.

   He went in and saw that Lu Fei was taking the soldiers to practice the battlefield.

  In ancient warfare, the war ability was basically reflected in the battlefield, and the individual's role in this kind of hand-to-hand combat was very small.

   Therefore, there is a huge difference in combat effectiveness between the soldiers who have been trained to form a battle formation and those who are stragglers.

   A densely disciplined and rigorous battle formation of 5,000 people is enough to easily defeat several times the enemy. In many cases, victory with less and more is the result of this.

The square formation that Lu Fei asked the soldiers to practice at this time is the most basic formation. There are also circular formations, cone formations, geese formations, etc., on the battlefield, the general will understand that it will change at any time according to the changes in the battlefield Battle formation.

   And this time is to show whether the general is a good general.

   However, this time Lu Fei was rehearsing the square formation at any time. Xiao Ming glanced at it, only to find that this square formation was not for ordinary confrontation.

   Seeing Xiao Ming coming, Lu Fei yelled "stop" and then walked towards Xiao Ming.

   "His brows are furrowed, is there any problem with this battle?" Lu Fei asked, bowing.

   Xiao Ming is the vassal of the six states, the status is the chief governor, the commander of the six states military, the identity of the prince also allows him to manage all the government affairs of the fief.

   And Lu Fei is only Qingzhou Lieutenant, can be said to be Xiao Ming's direct staff.

   So in military training, Xiao Ming has the right to command.

   "Former army crossbowmen, Chinese army spearmen, rear army swordmen, this kind of battle formation is used to deal with cavalry." Xiao Ming said.

   "His Royal Highness also understands battle formations?" Lu Fei asked strangely.

   Xiao Ming curled his lips and said, "This king is proficient in any battle formation, please don't look down on me, Lieutenant Lu."

   Lu Fei showed a surprised look, "So, your Royal Highness will also train soldiers?"

   This time Xiao Ming didn't dare to brag, he knew that fighting battles and training soldiers were two different things.

   He sloppyly said, "I'll talk to you when I have time. This time I'm here to check the soldiers' equipment."

   Speaking of this, Lu Fei suddenly became excited, "His Royal Highness, you see, these soldiers are wearing plate armor, but this aura is enough to make the enemy fearful."

   In the military camp’s schoolyard, five thousand soldiers are neatly arranged into ten square formations~www.ltnovel.com~The visual effect is similar to the set of school exercises between classes.

   But the difference is that the plate armor on the soldiers and the luminous weapons in their hands make them look murderous.

   Seeing these soldiers armed to their teeth, a sense of heroism suddenly rose in his heart.

   In the future, he will no longer need to fear the Qingzhou tycoons, nor will he need to give in for the sake of fearing them. The mighty Qingzhou Army is enough to crush any tycoons who dare to threaten him.

   "Well, it's indeed mighty, but it's not enough. Training must keep up. You can't waste such excellent equipment." Xiao Ming said.

   These plate armors are made from the best quality steel in the iron and steel workshop through the forging of hammers. He is confident that the level of these plate armors will not be lower than the quality of the modern seventeenth century plate armor.

   Even because of the mature technology, the quality of this batch of plate armor will be higher.

"His Royal Highness, leave this training to me. If your Royal Highness is not satisfied after three months, Lu Fei will raise his head to see you, but your Highness, this second batch of new troops is about to enter the camp. Look at this equipment?" Lu Fei rubbed his hands. Hehe smiled.

Xiao Ming was helpless, this Lu Fei now has three words in his line. When he sees him, he needs to be equipped. He said: "There will be no less equipment. Every soldier will have it, and a thousand will come in a few days. A war horse, you leave some soldiers to build cavalry."

"A thousand war horses?" Lu Fei Le closed his mouth from ear to ear, and said flatly: "His Royal Highness, where did you get so many war horses. Now I am the most short horse. I suffered a lot when I fought against barbarians. The cavalry is on. The barbarian cavalry runs fast and shoots bows and arrows accurately. We can't chase or catch up, and we can't fight. We have suffered heavy casualties~www.ltnovel.com~ Welcome friends to read, the latest and fastest , The hottest serial works are all at ~www.ltnovel.com~ mobile phone users, please go to read.
