This was the first time Zhao Wudi saw this method of producing arrows, and he was completely shocked.
"Isn't this outrageous? I finally understand why His Highness is so confident in defeating all enemy nations.
If weapons were made in this way, the entire enemy army could be annihilated with just the crossbow."
Zhao Wudi was stunned with shock.
"Haha, that's how it should be! In war, we can't be stubborn and always think about the two armies fighting each other.
Equipping a large number of crossbows is the best way to win.
The offensive weapons are like this, and the defensive armor must also keep up.
Not only should all our soldiers wear armor, but even our war horses should have it."
Li Ye said.
Come to think of it, Western plate armor also has quite strong defensive capabilities.
㱗On a special battlefield, especially when both sides are charging and fighting.
Plate armor would be better.
The enemy's weapons cannot cut it at all, and you can even give up defense and just focus on killing the enemy.
Simply put, it's a battlefield meat grinder.
Of course, the cost of plate armor is too high and too heavy.
Not suitable for pursuit operations.
But for Li Yue, this is not a problem at all.
Since there is enough iron and no shortage of craftsmen, plate armor can be produced in large quantities.
As for the light cavalry, they only used plate armor.
Many iron pieces are strung together to make armor.
This kind of armor is lighter and does not affect movement when worn.
The horses were also clothed in this kind of armor.
When charging, it is difficult for the enemy to stop our army by harming the horses.
It can protect both cavalry and war horses, greatly reducing losses.
Li Ye took Zhao Wudi to see the production methods of various armors and was once again deeply shocked.
The assembly line production method is very efficient and can significantly save costs.
In this way, as long as there is enough time, hundreds of thousands of troops can be fully armed and have sophisticated weapons.
Such a weapon configuration would make an elite army in any era.
Zhao Wudi's excitement never stopped from the beginning.
I feel my heart trembling.
Wouldn't an army of 700,000 elite soldiers be able to sweep across the world?
Zhao Wudi felt more and more that his decision was correct.
The Sixth Prince before him could definitely become an emperor and be remembered for generations to come.
His achievements must far exceed those of the current emperor.
Zhao Wudi's eyes were full of passion when he looked at Li Ye.
It is the greatest honor for a general to be able to follow such a person.
"General Zhao, what do you think after seeing our arsenal?" Li Ye asked with a smile.
"It's really shocking. We have no shortage of elite troops, armor or weapons.
Even in the future, there will be plenty of food and we will never have to worry about food and fodder.
With such an army, we can conquer the world."
"Hahaha, you're absolutely right! What are the mere barbarians and a few enemy countries in the north?
Our vision conquers the world.
There is only allowed to be one dynasty in the whole world, Dayuan.
Other countries will either become powerful or be destroyed." Li Ye said proudly.
"I am willing to serve Your Highness and conquer the world!" Zhao Wudi was extremely excited.
"Hahaha, we've just started now, it's still a long way to go before we can conquer the world.
Even if we defeat the northern enemy, there will still be many countries across the sea.
The next step is to build a large number of warships and conquer the whole world.
Take all the wealth into your own hands."
"Although I don't quite understand, I will just follow your orders." Zhao Wudi said.
Li Ye was very satisfied with Zhao Wudi's performance.
Although his knowledge is far inferior to his own, he never questions his decisions.
Even if there are doubts, I will stick to them without hesitation.
Such loyal subordinates are truly rare.
Although he had traveled to this world, Li Ye knew that there must be some places with high-yield crops.
Outward expansion is inevitable.
Not only do we need to collect all the wealth in the world, but we also need to bring back all the high-yield crops.
Only with high-yield crops can we feed more people.
If you want to rule the world, you must have a large enough population.
Otherwise, without sufficient troops, it would be impossible to control so much territory.
Even if the Dayuan Dynasty falls apart and collapses one day after his death.
But those in power around the world are still Dayuan people.
This experience gave Zhao Wudi enough confidence and courage.
Subsequently, some changes were made to the training methods of the army.
From how to deal with the enemy's invasion in the past.
By now, we were beginning to consider not only annihilating the enemy but also expanding outward.
Take the initiative to attack the enemy.
The large amount of iron ingots produced were continuously shipped back to the mainland.
It was sold to Shi Wushuang in batches through major businesses.
The people from Yunlu Pavilion had some difficulties in acquiring the company at the beginning.
The price goes up every day, but we still can’t buy enough goods.
After more than half a month, a business finally contacted them and started shipping in large quantities.
This made the disciples of Yunlu Pavilion very excited.
After checking, there were no problems, so I bought them all without saying anything.
We even plan to cooperate long-term.
Request to provide them with a steady supply.
Of course the shop owner agreed immediately.
Confirm the quantity of the next batch of arrival, collect the deposit, and ask them to pick up the goods on time.
These days, Shi Wushuang is very anxious.
Almost all the businesses in the Dayuan Dynasty seemed to have agreed on this and were desperately scrambling to buy up iron.
They would not even let go of the old iron tools in the hands of the people.
They all try to buy it at a high price.
This has led to an increasingly tight supply of iron on the market.
Finally, we got some good news that day: some big companies were willing to ship the goods.
Although the quality of iron is not very good, the quantity is large.
At most, it would take more time and effort to forge it a few more times.
Crude iron can be forged into fine iron.
Shi Wushuang no longer had any choice at this moment.
Quickly let your men buy in large quantities.
Being able to purchase 5,000 kilograms of iron every day made Shi Wushuang extremely happy.
Have people transport them to Caoqian in batches.
In order to save time, the goods were not transported by sea.
Because sea transportation is too slow, it is simply too late.
We can only take the risk of land transportation, which can be delivered to Caoqian in two days via the highway.
As long as you can deliver the iron smoothly, you can regain their trust.
Due to several previous failures, Shi Wushuang was very nervous.
A large number of people were sent and divided into hundreds of caravans to conceal their identities.
As long as more than half of them can reach the grass smoothly, it can be passed.
But he didn't expect that the transportation would be surprisingly smooth.
Apart from being stuck at the border and having some money extorted from officials, they were not in any great difficulty.
The first batch of goods was smoothly delivered to the barbarians.
Upon hearing Cheng 㰜's news, Shi Wushuang could hardly believe his ears.
"Are you sure they've all been delivered? No one car has been damaged?"
"Yes, a hundred and thirty carriages, all delivered on time.
It's just that the troops and officials stationed at the border are too greedy.
Each carriage charged us five taels of silver for the toll.
One hundred and thirty carriages, that's six hundred and fifty taels of silver," the Yunlu Pavilion disciple said angrily.
