Gu Yi is the leader of the business world of Great Chu, and he has the title of Marquis of Zhennan, and his younger brother is Taiqing, King Jiaderui. His status is so noble and influential, not only in Yangzhou City, but also in several states in the south of the Yangtze River. .Even Wang Xie's family had to give Gu Yi some face.

With this background, everyone should think about what Gu Yi said and released the news. Everyone also hoped that Gu Yi would reveal more inside stories from time to time, but Gu Yi is usually too low-key and rarely shows up. up.

This time, Gu Yi made a public bet that Linghuchun and the Li family were in collusion, causing an uproar in the government and the public. Even Bai Junhao didn't sleep well when he heard the news, so he quickly summoned Gu Xian to find out what happened.On the other hand, all the major clans remained silent, obviously they couldn't tell because they were cheated and suffered a disadvantage.

I don't know what Gu Xian said to Bai Junhao after entering the palace, the emperor who had been panicked suddenly calmed down, even when he went to court, he talked a lot less, as if he had changed.

Compared with the treacherous Bo Yun in Chengdu City and Jiangnan, the days of Bai Jun and Fu Donglou in Hanzhong are much more brisk.Even though Bo Jun and the others were sleepless nights because of these bad things, Prince Rui's mood improved a lot with his daughter-in-law by his side and being able to enjoy her latest scientific research achievements from time to time.

"Although these camouflage uniforms are still unsatisfactory in many places, it may be the best effort to achieve this level."

Jiang Han, Yang Feng, Fan Shuyi, Zhai Xi, Gong Shuzhe and others gathered in the Chinese army tent. Fu Donglou picked up a greenish four-color camouflage uniform specially designed for forest land, and explained while showing it: "Our eyes We can see because the objects around us reflect the light into our eyes. Therefore, we can see things clearly during the day or in brightly lit places, but we often cannot see things at night or in dark places.”

"The principle of camouflage uniforms is very simple, that is, the spectrum of light reflected by the clothes is similar to the spectrum reflected by the scenery in the environment in which soldiers are located. Under such conditions, soldiers can easily hide and confuse in the face of enemy detection. other side."

"For example, this green and yellow one is very useful in densely vegetated environments such as forests. This gray and white one is more suitable for surface combat or snow combat."

"Because this suit is mainly designed for soldiers performing special missions, the samples made are all tight-fitting and designed as soft armor. You can come up and touch it."

Fu Donglou didn't say some things in public, but only talked to Bo Junhe in private.Fu Donglou is not a professional researcher on this kind of thing, and the real camouflage uniforms are also very particular. The few pieces he made are purely photogenic.What can be done is similar to modern camouflage uniforms, thanks to the superb skills of the cloth dyeing master, and specially invited the old hunters around Hanzhong who are good at hiding and hunting to come over to help.Otherwise, camouflage uniforms can only be a fantasy.

"Will you be able to help the Tibetans? Let me talk about it first. This material is very strange, and it feels very dense. I have never seen such soft armor before." Yang Feng was in charge of armaments, and he had countless weapons and armors, so he was naturally an expert.Although he can't make good equipment himself, his eyesight is absolutely extraordinary.

As soon as Yang Feng agreed, Fan Shuyi also nodded: "It's more sturdy than usual, but it's a little heavier."

Seeing that the two of them got to the point right away, Fu Donglou felt refreshed as if he had met a bosom friend, and explained excitedly: "This is a new material made by my improved spinning machine and loom. Originally, it was made by a new machine. The material is finer than before, and this time I asked the weavers to weave twice as densely. This is something I have been studying since the new machine was put into production. I haven’t woven many finished products in the past few months. Fortunately, weaving now The method has been formed, and mass production will not be a problem in the future.”

Bo Junhe took the camouflage uniform and studied it for a while, then asked in contemplation: "Do you want to make the soft armor invulnerable?"

"Exactly!" Fu Donglou clapped his hands together, but immediately bowed his head, "It's a pity that camouflage uniforms cannot be truly invulnerable, and this aspect needs to be improved."

Taking the camouflage uniform and stretching it twice, Fu Donglou said: "This kind of material is finer and more durable than ordinary fabric, and the strength of the fabric is also high. When arrows are shot, the strong material can effectively disperse the arrows." Yagami’s strength will reduce the possibility of people being injured. As you know about rattan armor, you are not afraid of knives, stabs, but fire, but the principle is the same as this camouflage uniform.”

Jiang Han nodded in agreement: "The subordinates of the rattan armor know that the Habayashi Army originally considered equipping them with rattan armor, but most of the battles on the river are fought with fire. The rattan armor is strong, but it will fail when it encounters fire. After weighing again and again, the Habayashi Army still used the traditional armor."

"The camouflage uniforms we are currently making cannot completely prevent the damage caused by weapons, but they can reduce the damage. For example, if you wear this clothing, it is unlikely that an arrow will cause penetrating wounds when shot at the body, and it will only penetrate shallowly into the flesh. "

"It's so rare, after all, it's a soft armor." Bo Junhe patted Fu Donglou on the back, and said with a smile, "The people who are going to be equipped with camouflage uniforms are scouts, spies and assassins. They are all skilled, so it's not easy at all. Injuries and head-to-head encounters are rare, so that's enough."

"There is another problem with this clothes, that is, it is not breathable and uncomfortable to wear. The finished camouflage uniforms you see are not made of one layer of fabric, but five or six layers of fine fabric are woven together. This way It’s uncomfortable to wear in summer, I’m afraid I’ll get prickly heat all over my body.”

Modern camouflage uniforms are very breathable, but Fu Donglou is not a researcher of materials, and has little understanding of the production of modern chemical synthetic fibers, so he can only do his best according to the current level of science and technology and the development level of the textile industry. .

"Warning on the battlefield is a matter of desperation, and you are not a lady in the inner court. What are you so poor about? Life is the first priority." Fan Shuyi boasted, shaking the camouflage uniform, "The camouflage uniform made by His Highness, I It looks much more useful than the dark night clothes. It’s fine to go out on missions at night. It’s so eye-catching to go out in black clothes during the day. I didn’t know what to wear during the daytime missions. Now it’s good, this thing is very useful !"

Seeing that everyone had done enough research on the functions of camouflage uniforms, Zhai Xi asked, "How much does it cost to make a camouflage uniform?" Zhai Xi was born as a servant of the Ministry of Industry and was in charge of Da Chu's family, so he naturally paid attention to the cost of things.

"Senior brother is talking about another thing that gives me a headache." If you are an expert, you asked a key question as soon as you opened your mouth. Fu Donglou stretched out his index finger to compare, "I want this price."

"Usually money?" Zhai Xi guessed carefully.The usual money is not too small, but it is still within the acceptable range.

Fu Donglou shook his head: "If it's all the money, I still have a headache? One tael of silver each."

"My god!" Fan Shuyi yelled out even his mother.

Not to mention the Great Chu, during the heyday of the previous Tang Dynasty, the country produced less than 2 taels of silver a year. Copper coins or silk were mostly used for transactions in the market, and gold was used directly for large transactions. Silver is rare.One tael of silver for a piece of soft armor is a sky-high price.

Jiang Han frowned and looked at the camouflage uniform repeatedly: "Isn't it just some fabric, why is it so expensive?"

"As I said before, the fabric used to make this dress is specially woven, and five or six layers are stacked together, so the material itself is useless. Moreover, this material is not easy to weave, and the waste rate is astonishingly high. It is easier to make mistakes. As long as one color is not dyed well, the whole piece of cloth will be wasted. Moreover, the tailoring of the clothes is easy to say, but experienced craftsmen are needed from weaving to dyeing, so it is very time-consuming to make. "

"There is also the zipper on it. I thought that when the assassin needs to change clothes, the sooner the better, I replaced all the buttons that need buttons with zippers. In this way, people wearing camouflage uniforms can wear camouflage uniforms. Putting on ordinary clothes, you only need to unzip the zipper at critical moments to take off the camouflage uniform. But the zippers are made of iron, and the cost is not low.”

Fu Donglou spread his hands together: "I have reduced the cost as much as possible."

"Report! Ti Qiwei has an urgent report!"

A sudden announcement came from outside the tent, interrupting everyone's conversation.

When Bai Junhe heard that it was Ti Qiwei, he suddenly smiled and glanced at Fu Donglou: "It must be good news."

"Could it be..." Fu Donglou's brows were also beaming with joy, and everyone was at a loss as to what kind of riddle these two couples were playing.

"Call someone in."

"Yes!"

Bo Junhe had always been in charge of the Tiqi guards. The chief guard came in and knelt down on one knee, and reported: "General, His Royal Highness Wang Qing ordered a Tiqi to wear a new type of soft armor yesterday. The mountain is hidden, and the subordinates are incompetent, but after searching the mountain for a day, the Tiqi was not captured."

The chief guard of Ti Qiqi is naturally the best among all the Ti cavalry, and he can be said to be the king of soldiers among the kings of soldiers. Seeing the man's dejected look, Fu Donglou felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and asked carefully Said: "Is that person too good at kung fu? Why didn't he find it all day? Now that person can return to the camp?"

"Back to Your Highness, the man has already returned to the camp. It's not that he is outstanding in martial arts, but the new soft armor made by His Highness is really confusing. The subordinate waited a few times to approach the man's place, but the color of the soft armor blinded the target. He escaped. If the target puts on the clothes and hides in one place, the subordinates may not be able to find him at all."

The snow in the mountains and forests around Hanzhong hadn't melted yet, and Fu Donglou asked the Tiqi to wear the gray and white camouflage uniform, which was unexpectedly effective.

"That's it. It's worth a tael of silver. You only need to equip the Tiqiwei, Scout Battalion, and Anbu. There are not many people in these three places." Yang Feng patted his chest and said to Bai Jun and He said, "General, my subordinates have fought with the late kings and you all these years, and have saved money for their meritorious service and rewards. But the barbarians have not been destroyed, and the subordinates have gold and silver mountains and have nothing to spend. Why don't you donate them to the army first?" Camouflage uniform, after we take down Beiyan and seize Shi Chaoyi's treasury, you can reward me."

"The subordinates are also willing." Jiang Han and Fan Shuyi also seconded.

What Yang Feng said was to ask Bai Junhe to pay back the money after Beiyan was destroyed, but no one knew that all the money from the government treasury had to be returned to the state treasury, otherwise it would be corruption, so they donated the money after all.

"Xi Yu wants this camouflage uniform to be knife and gun resistant, so I have a suggestion." Gong Shuzhe, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interjected, "Since you said that the clothes are woven with five or six layers of fabric stacked together, you might as well add a The thin iron sheet is woven together. In the past, I developed a kind of iron sheet, which is very soft, tough and light. I originally wanted to use it to give Ah Xi a soft sword and hide it in his waist. Now I want to put it in this clothes. .”

"Why didn't I think of that." Fu Donglou's eyes lit up, "With Ah Zhe's help, we can get twice the result with half the effort!"

"As for the position of the iron plate so that it will not affect the action, I will decide later." Gong Shuzhe smiled modestly, "As for the money for the iron, I will pay. The prince must win the battle, otherwise Ah Xi and I will win the battle." If you want to go back to the mountains and forests, you have no money to eat."

"You don't need to be like this. It is my king's responsibility to protect the country and the people. The many industries in the palace are for military use. All of you have a little wealth that you have earned through bloody battles. You have not been able to return home all year round. This king is ashamed of you. Your family, how can you take away your wealth again. Don’t mention this matter again.”

As soon as Yang Feng suggested Bai Junhe, he wanted to dismiss it, but before he could speak, Gongshu Zhe interjected.It is a good thing for the Habayashi Army to unite as one, but how can he let his subordinates who have worked so hard over the years pay for it.

"This is the wish of the subordinates and others. The general should not refuse." Jiang Han and others saluted again, as if they wanted Bai Junhe to accept it.

"I said you really don't have to be like this." Fu Donglou finally realized that he didn't say something very important.

"Your Highness, don't try to persuade me any more." Fan Shuyi thought that Fu Donglou also disagreed.

"We are on the front line, and these clothes are waiting to be used in the war. Wouldn't it be too late for you to raise money to make them? I have already let the workshops in the army and the cloth shops in Hanzhong City go to mass production. I mobilized the army a few days ago. The purpose of going to the city is to ensure safe and smooth production. Although we have only just known the effect of the clothes, I have already asked people to start producing the fabrics for the clothes. I only need to see if the dyeing and pattern need to be adjusted." Fu Donglou said Pointing at the head of the guard, "I almost forgot about you, get up quickly."

The captain of the guard has been stunned for a while, and only knows that the camouflage uniform that is quite useful seems to be one of the guards.Although the Tiqiguards are also a frontal fighting force on the battlefield, they often perform special tasks. If they can have this kind of high-quality soft armor, the battle damage will be much lower.Ti cavalry guards are all elite soldiers, how can it not be exciting to have less battle damage.

"Right now it seems that dyeing is okay. If you don't mind the style of the clothes, I'll go back and let you know before we can start mass production. There are fewer people in the scout battalion and Anbu, one for each type of camouflage uniform, and more Tiriders. , may not be fully equipped for a while.”

"Your Highness is very kind, and I would like to thank you on behalf of Ti Qiwei." Wei Zhang stood up and then knelt down.

"It doesn't have to be like this, I don't know how to fight, that's all I can do, it's all part of my job." Fu Donglou hastily helped the head of the guard to stand up, "Sooner or later, the Habayashi Army will be equipped, but right now we can only be tight The few and critical troops are equipped first."

"Xiyu, did you pay the merchant on credit or...?" If it was Yu Linjun's workshop, it would not be possible to talk about credit, but the weaver Fu Donglou was looking for was a big cloth merchant in Hanzhong, so naturally he had to give money .Although everyone was controlled near the Habayashi Army for safety reasons, they couldn't be robbed, no.Bo Junhe wondered if he should quickly inform Chengdu City to send the money.

"How can it be. The cloth merchant who undertook the production of the camouflage uniform has a semicolon in Chengdu. I have already written to Huayuan Yueqiao to ask them to pay the money directly in Chengdu. You forgot, our wedding Muyan gave me 3000 Two gold, although part of it was spent, but the big head is still there. I figured it out, it’s enough for the moment. If we want to equip the entire Habayashi Army in the future, we will naturally have to pay from the court. We are not private soldiers of the palace. Why pay out of pocket."

The big tent suddenly became quiet. Seeing everyone looking at him, Fu Donglou immediately became uncomfortable: "Well... what's wrong with you?"

"Aiqing is worthy of the title of 'Xiang'. I thank Your Highness on behalf of the soldiers of the Yulin Army." Bo Junhe said, stood up and bowed to Donglou solemnly.

"Thank you, Your Highness." All the generals knelt down on one knee.

"They're all my own people, so I'm embarrassed to do something so polite." Fu Donglou was extremely embarrassed, and simply gave Bai Junhe a look, "If you are so old, don't come to me if you have anything to do."

"No way, there will be plenty of places to rely on His Highness in the future." Bo Junhe wished he could hug Fu Donglou into his arms and have a good kiss, because there were too many people present and he was embarrassed.

"Stop it."

"But you used the gold given by Mu Yan this time, I'm afraid there will be more places where people gossip in the future." Thinking of the secret report received before, Bo Jun and Dun became worried.

Fu Donglou was taken aback for a moment, then understood and frowned.

Jiang Han and the others didn't know Mu Yan's identity, so they looked at each other in blank dismay.

"It's time to tell everyone." Bai Junhe looked serious, "Mu Yan, my nominal national teacher of Great Chu, is actually the former Tang Jianning King Li Tan. He has been lurking in our court for many years, but he has no peace of mind!"
