Steel Dynasty - Chapter 295

[Chapter 295 Military uniforms are also combat effectiveness]

Qingzhou Camp.

The carriage transporting military uniforms was surrounded on three levels inside and three levels outside.

The soldiers who heard the news ran over under the leadership of the school captain, with expectations in their eyes.

“That’s right, how can you, Lu Fei, take advantage of all this military uniform? Our artillery battalion also wants it.” Luo Xin shouted and squeezed in front of Xiao Ming.

Then he continued: “Who doesn’t know the importance of the artillery battalion now? Our artillery battalion should get these military uniforms first.”

“Bah! Your artillery battalion will only hide on the city wall and fire cannons. My soldiers are all here Why are you fighting barbarians under the city wall?” Lu Fei spat.

“Why!” Lu Fei’s soldiers shouted.

“What do you mean we are hiding on the city wall and firing artillery? Without our artillery support, how can you be so relaxed?” Luo Xin curled his lips and said, he shouted to his soldiers: “You think so!” “

Yes!” Luo Xin’s The soldiers also booed.

Riding on the horse, Xiao Ming smiled and watched the two of them fight over the military uniforms and blushed.

At this moment, the soldiers suddenly gave way to a path, and it turned out that the cow was running over.

When Lu Fei and Luo Xin saw it, they immediately calmed down and stood on both sides.

After glaring at Lu Fei and Luo Xin, Niu Ben glanced at the military uniforms on the carriage, expecting in his heart, and said, “Your Highness personally delivered the uniforms. It’s really hard work.”

“It’s not hard work. I promised you this years ago. , it is indeed a bit late to send it now, and the number of these military uniforms is still quite low, but let’s put them on first.”

In Xiao Ming’s view, military uniforms are not just a piece of clothing; A manifestation of the regularization of the Qingzhou Army.

And the military uniforms he sent now are different from the plate armor, because the current military uniforms can be worn by soldiers every day, even when they go home.

Therefore, when designing military uniforms, Xiao Ming considered that the soldiers must be solemn and majestic after wearing them, which can set off the man’s spirit.

Because this time the military uniform is not the traditional round-neck shirt of the Chongqing Kingdom, but a stand-up collared shirt. The upper body is straight, the waist is gathered in the middle, and the lower part of the long gown has slits at the knees. The color of the military uniform is black and green, and there are epaulettes on both shoulders.

When he got the military uniform, Xiao Ming was looking forward to it. Soldiers and generals should look handsome in it.

Take a package from the front carriage. The military uniforms here belong to the generals. Each military uniform has epaulettes with different numbers of yellow horizontal strips sewn on the epaulettes, which represent the rank of the officer.

“Captain Niu, Lu Fei, Luo Xin, Hu Changfei…”

Xiao Ming clung to the names of the generals of the Qingzhou Army and handed out their general uniforms one by one.

“Thank you, Your Highness!”

After receiving the military uniforms, all the generals beamed with joy. The uniforms were made with exquisite craftsmanship and felt very thick.

The generals took off their military uniforms and Xiao Ming said, “How about you put them on first and show them to the soldiers?”

Niu Ben immediately returned to the barracks and took off his plate armor. After a while, the generals wearing black and green stand-up collared gowns appeared. They appeared in front of a group of soldiers.

Looking at Niu Ben and others with satisfaction, after putting on the military uniforms, the temperament of these people suddenly changed.

The slim military uniforms combined with their military temperament made them look majestic and handsome. If such military uniforms were spread, many young people would be envious. After all, this military uniform is also a kind of combat effectiveness.

“By the way, there’s this.” Xiao Ming remembered something and threw another cowhide belt from the carriage.

Liang Dahai exchanged many slaves this winter, but Li Kaiyuan returned in exchange for a lot of livestock skins. He asked Luluo to sew the hides into belts.

“Your Highness, how do you use this thing?” Luo Xin was confused when he got the belt.

Xiao Ming personally demonstrated at this time. This belt is the simplest kind of belt, with a metal ring fixed on it, and a metal bar inserted into the round hole of the cowhide belt to buckle it.

Niu Ben and others suddenly realized. They buckled their belts around their waists one by one and immediately tucked their waists away. In an instant, the effect of the military uniforms on their bodies was once again improved to a new level.

The soldiers all had their mouths opened at this time, and their eyes were filled with envy. In their opinion, this military uniform was more beautiful than the clothes worn by those noble men.

“How is it? Does this military uniform look good?” Lu Fei grinned from ear to ear.

“Colonel Lieutenant, you are like a tree standing in the wind, and a native chicken is like a phoenix.” A soldier shouted.

Lu Fei’s face instantly turned green when he heard this, “What do you mean a chicken turns into a phoenix? You really deserve a beating.” But as soon as he finished speaking, he burst into laughter. He himself was very satisfied with this military uniform.

Luo Xin remembered something at this time and said, “Captain, I remember there is a mirror in your barracks. Why don’t you go and take a look at it.”

“Yes, let’s go, let’s go!” Lu Fei said eagerly.

Niu Ben naturally had no objection under the current circumstances. This was a happy event. Running an army requires a certain degree of relaxation.

When everyone arrived at Niu Ben’s barracks, they saw what they looked like clearly.

“Your Highness, if the general wears this outfit and returns to Chang’an now, I don’t know how many ladies will come to propose marriage.” Luo Xin turned around repeatedly in front of the mirror.

Xiao Ming smiled and scolded: “Then they are not attracted to you, but to this military uniform.”

Lu Fei said: “The chicken has really turned into a phoenix. Your Highness, this military uniform is really good.”

Niu Ben Looking at the generals under his command, not only did these generals lose their sense of frivolity when they put on this military uniform, but they became more solemn.

“His Highness’s handiwork has amazed me time and time again. I didn’t expect to see such military uniforms in my lifetime.” Niu Ben said with emotion.

“Old General, this military uniform is just the beginning. In a few days, I’m afraid the Qingzhou Army will undergo greater changes.” Xiao Ming said about the flintlock gun he was developing.

“Bigger changes?” Niu Ben was surprised and uncertain.

First there were artillery, then crossbow cavalry, then military uniforms, and what was next? He felt that his life experience could no longer keep up with Xiao Ming’s pace.

“This thing, like the artillery, is a ground-breaking move for the country of Chongqing.” Xiao Ming turned to look north, “Once this piece of equipment is ready, I will consider the northern expedition to conquer the Blood Wolf tribe and drive the barbarians outside Shanhaiguan. .”

Niu Ben became more and more shocked, “Your Highness, the troubles caused by the barbarians in Youzhou cannot be solved overnight. Your Highness, there is no need to act too hastily.”

Xiao Ming understood what Niu Ben meant. He was afraid of Xiao Ming’s advance.

“Old General, you will understand my intention when the time comes.”

Generally speaking, the military uniforms this time fit the generals very well and look very handsome, and this batch of military uniforms is also suitable for the generals to go out on weekdays. worn.

In this way, another image of soldiers will enter the hearts of the people and arouse the envy of young people.

As for how to distribute the military uniforms, Xiao Ming didn’t care. Niu Ben had his own plans.
