"How are the equipment of the Dragoon?"

Li Chengdao was obviously relieved to hear that the Tang Dynasty cavalry had already been equipped with iron double stirrups and high bridge saddles and were adapting with all their strength. However, these could only make up for the gap between the cavalry between the Tang army and the Turks. If you really want to turn the situation around, you have to rely on your trump card!

"When you go back to Your Highness, the equipment of the Dragoons was in place three days ago. Each person was equipped with the best war horses in the Tang Dynasty. The Dragoons, all men and horses were loaded with paper armor, and the paper armor was equipped with silk, steel helmets, deer leather boots, etc., and they were loaded with 15 kilograms of weight."

(Paper armor began to be used on a large scale in the Tang and Song dynasties, and even became one of the standard armor styles of the Song and Ming army, and customized more than 30,000 sets in one go. There were records in history that local officials applied for 100 sets of iron armor for fifty sets of high-quality paper armor. The "New Book of Tang" records that "the strong arrow cannot be holed". It can be seen that the advantages of paper armor are that it is strong and light, and can withstand arrows. Because of its light body, it is often used by warship sailors.)

When Xu Houzhao said that, the corners of his mouth kept twitching, which seemed very painful, and it was obviously a lot of money.

"Each fire (Tang Dynasty, the government soldiers used 10 people as fire, fire was placed in fire, and the subordinate team) was equipped with a telescope. In addition to paper armor, each draco was equipped with a horizontal knife forged by high temperature and high pressure, a stale knife. The right side of the war horse was equipped with a new god arm crossbow and 20 triangular barb feather arrows with blood grooves. On the left side were placed 20 grenades and 500 paper shell bullets wrapped in kraft paper, and two flintlock guns were each to prevent continuous shooting, the barrel overheated and exploded, and 50 bullets were surrounded by waist..."

(The flintlock rifle clamps a piece of flint on the jaw of the hammer, and a one-strike anvil is installed beside the fire transmission hole. When shooting, the trigger is pulled. Under the action of the spring, the flint is heavily hit by the fire door, sparks appear, and the gunpowder is fired. This greatly simplifies the shooting process? Improves the fire rate and shooting accuracy? Convenient to use and low cost? Convenient for mass production.

When no post-loading musket was invented, the requirements for ammunition loading technology were very high. According to the previous loading method, when loading the projectile, the projectile must be placed in the cavity? Use a wooden hammer to send the bullet stick? Pushing the gun into the cavity is very time-consuming. On the battlefield, it means a waste of life.

At this time, Li Chengdao had created a quick loading method? Use linen or deer-skin soaked in grease to wrap the projectiles with paper? The loading into the cavity reduces friction, not only speeds up the loading speed, but also plays a role in air closure, and the accuracy is improved accordingly? The range has also increased.

In the history of the development of gun bullets, although paper-shell bullets are not so famous? But they also occupy a place in the history of gun bullets. Early front-loading guns were usually added directly from the muzzle and then loaded into the bullet? The operation was slow and the amount of medicine was uncertain at each time? Therefore, the shooting effect was unstable? Quantitative loading was nothing more than an effective way to solve this problem. In that era, there was no such advanced processing technology. However, in order to speed up the loading speed and the amount of medicine was certain, paper bullets were used to make the paper bullets.

Shells came into being. In the beginning, the paper shell only used a paper rolled barrel, which contained gunpowder, but the bullet was loaded separately, and the loading speed was still slow. Later, people loaded the bullet and gunpowder into the paper shell. Later, when the base fire was invented, people packed the base fire, fire medicine, and bullets together, greatly increasing the shooting speed. When the paper shell technology gradually matured, the gun bullets of metal shells appeared. After some years of development, the status of the paper shell gun bullets was replaced. Now the protagonist is set to develop directly to the peak period of paper shell bullets.)

(Tang Hengdao: No decoration, it is a combat knife worn by ordinary soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Judging from the knife called the horizontal knife in Masakura Inn in Japan, the horizontal knife may also be a one-handed straight knife with a slightly angled handle and blade.

Tang Jun Knife: Jun Knife is used to defend against enemies (Zheng "blocks"). The mainstream view is to use short horizontal knife (similar to Japanese "flash"), and another saying is long horizontal knife (similar to Japanese "nota"), and there is also a saying that wide knife face is like a lancet.)

"There are also special kettles, compressed cakes that are enough for three days, and beef and mutton jerky with enough salt..."

Xu Houzhao looked at Li Chengdao with a resentful look on his face. The more he spoke, the more he felt. The Dragoon set, if converted into an ordinary soldier, was enough to equip thirty people, especially the flintlock rifle. Except for the Dragoon, none of the other troops were equipped.

After the military control of the entire Chang'an, tens of thousands of people worked overtime every day for 12 hours. In addition, the uninterrupted manufacturing process for more than two months will be enough for these 1,000 people.

"Yeah, it's not bad!"

Although Xu Houzhao looked like he was forced to death, Li Chengdao was very satisfied. A smile finally appeared on his originally gloomy face. He smiled and patted Xu Houzhao on the shoulder.

"Now every copper plate put into the dragon cavalry will increase the success rate of killing Jie Li. These equipment are the Damocles swords above Jie Li's head. Sooner or later, one of them will fall on his head."

Even Li Chengdao, who was paying money, said this. What else could Xu Houzhao say? He could only curl his lips helplessly.

This new Dragoon was created by Li Chengdao's direct team. Li Chengdao personally brought it from childhood to adulthood. He spent countless efforts. When the Xuanwu Gate rebellion started, he followed him to conquer the world and cleared any obstacles in front of him. It can be said to be the trump card of Li Chengdao.

After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Chengdao couldn't wait to fully arm the 1,000 people. He asked for money and food. In short, everything was the best.

Of course, behind the best material things is the ultimate rigorous skills and discipline training. Except for regular and fixed-time sleeping and eating, these 1,000 people spend all the time on equestrian, shooting, fighting, assassination... physical fitness, flexibility, endurance, willpower and other devilish training!

Li Chengdao’s goal is to build this army into a super-dimensional force beyond this era!

After understanding the latest situation of these treasures, Li Chengdao was interested in other aspects.

"Have you found Xingluo Cang, Huiluo Cang, Changping Cang, Liyang Cang, Guangtong Cang, Hanjia Cang? Have you used the navy to transport it?"

(During the Sui Dynasty, the government built many granaries in various places, including Xingluo Cang, Huiluo Cang, Changping Cang, Liyang Cang, Guangtong Cang, etc. The grain storage was all over one million stones. In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, the inspector Ma Zhou of the Censor of Tang Dynasty, said to Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin: "The Sui family has stored Luokou, and Li Mi has used it; the treasury of Xijing is also used by the state, and it has not been completed yet." The Sui Dynasty had been destroyed for 20 years, and Emperor Wen of Sui had been dead for 33 years, but the grain cloths had not been used up at that time. In 1969, a granary of the Sui Dynasty, Hanjia Cang site, was discovered in Luoyang. The area was more than 450,000 square meters, and 259 grain cellars were found. One of them still had 500,000 kilograms of millet that had been charred. This shows the prosperity and prosperity of the Sui Dynasty. The Zhenguan rule was actually Li Shimin, with less than one-tenth of the population, and he ate enough grain for the Sui Dynasty for 50 years.)

Speaking of these large granaries, Xu Houzhao's eyes lit up and his original bitter smile was wiped out.

"When you go back to your highness, these large granaries have been secretly found by the East Factory. Now, with the general mobilization order, I have mobilized all large ships in Jiangnan to transport them to the entire Guanzhong battlefield. The Tang army in Guannei Road, Hedong Road, Shannan East Road, Shannan West Road, and Longyou Road have absolutely no worries about food and grass."

"Okay, okay! What's the grain futures in Guan Jinsheng?"

"This morning, I met Guan Jinsheng going to the Cui family in Boling to urge them to close the position."

When Xu Houzhao thought of Guan Jinsheng taking the East Factory military service in the morning, he was arrogant and relied on his power, and couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, don't forget to wait until the futures of the nobles of the Seven Sects and Five Clans and Guanlong closed their positions, and let them borrow more money. Don't they want to make money in war? They throw away the millions of stones of grain from Hanjia Cang and Guangtong Cang to them and let them have enough food."

Speaking of futures, Li Chengdao also smiled slightly.

"Your Highness, you won't give the major families a way to survive. The Turkic soldiers are facing the Wei River. The grain price and futures on the Datang Exchange have exceeded 10 guan per stone. Your Highness sells 3 guan to all major families. Even if these aristocratic families who are tempted to pay money will sell their food."

"Yes, now they have been squeezed out of cash by the short orders on the exchange and Hongwei New City. If they want to stock up on grain, there is only one way, that is, mortgage real estate and real estate, and come to Datang Money House to collect grain, hehe."

"But now Chang'an is under military control, and the food rations of the people are distributed regularly every three days. Do these aristocratic families still stock up on food?" Xu Houzhao thought about it, but he was a little confused.

"The difference between smart people and stupid people is that they can think and make arrangements in advance. The stupid people think that the court will distribute food rations regularly and in a regular and quantitative manner, while smart people will prepare for the future. They will think, what if the battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks falls into the stalemate, and the war ahead is tight and the court cannot satisfy the food rations of the people, then what should we do?"

"That underground transaction that is strictly prohibited will be carried out by several times the profit!"

"Do you remember what I said to you? Greed is the original sin. If there is 50% profit, it dares to take risks; if there is 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; if there is 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime or even risk hanging."

Li Chengdao looked out the window coldly, his tone was extremely calm.

"If these aristocratic families can hold on to the great power, who is not the best elite in the world (the 29 prime ministers of the Cui family know about it), how could they miss such a huge opportunity? Buy 3 guan, 10 guan, and 20 guan, which is more than three times the profit! Short orders in grain futures caused these big families to suffer heavy losses. Faced with the newly-emerged minions of the Dongchang, when they were unable to figure out the details, they did not dare to turn the table rashly, so they could only pay the money and admit defeat first. The specifics depend on the situation of the battle between the Tang army and the Turks, and then make a decision."

"Now Chang'an or the entire Guanzhong Plain is under the military control system. They cannot use other methods to make a lot of profits, but they still have to maintain decentness and maintain the operation of a whole family, so they will not give up this opportunity to recover."

"Even if some people don't want to make money in the war, they will definitely have the intention of not being afraid of ten thousand but being afraid of something. After all, hoarding grain during the war is a foolproof way. They will not expect that the Sui Dynasty will leave us such a large grain inventory, just as they would never expect that Jie Li would lead a 200,000 Turkic army south..."

"A real man is in the world. What is the ability to calculate those mud legs facing the loess and backs facing the sky? What he wants is to compete with the heroes in the world, take the heaven and earth as the chessboard, the national fortune as the cushion, and use all things in the world as the chess pieces, and fight! If you win, you will naturally be proud of the heroes, leave your reputation in history, and lose a magnificent life, and you will not be in vain to travel in the world."

If you want to fight against these top elites in the world, except for the super black swan, you cannot have a particularly high chance of winning. These elites almost use the power they can use to the extreme. Unless you have the power to break the boundaries of that era, the ancients have countless ways to conquer you.

Just like a future man traveling to the 21st century, if he dares to leaps forward and creates unfounded but extremely accurate technology out of nothing, then people do not worship him first, but lock him up and interrogate him first, or take him to the laboratory to slice and study (see how someone's brain has been cut into more than 200 pieces). If the power who cannot get this person will be afraid of this completely unpredictable crisis, their first thought is: You can't even think of having something I can't get.

All forces join forces to kill this time traveler. If the power that owns this time traveler does not want to be the target of public criticism, then they can only hand him over for everyone to study, or take the initiative to kill him.

The same ordinary person traveled to ancient times. If you didn’t have a high status from the beginning, then you would be in danger. If you dare to expose sweet potatoes and potatoes, believe it or not, someone will kill you first, and then take this great credit to seek credit. In an era when there is no surveillance and death is extremely normal, you may not even know how to die.

The extent to which Li Chengdao was able to achieve the point before the Xuanwu Sect Incident was because he was Li Jiancheng's eldest son. Otherwise, if he was allowed to travel to civilians, he would be able to break through one or two classes at most. If he wanted to stand at the top of the power of the Tang Dynasty, he would have to rely on luck and noble people to support him, otherwise he would not have to think about it.

"Your Highness!"

Xu Houzhao was so excited that he was very bright when Li Chengdao said, his eyes were extremely bright, and he looked at Li Chengdao with a burning look, as if he felt that the latter had become infinitely taller.
