Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin did not follow Zhang Feng to Yu Shinan's bamboo house.
The three of them sat in Zhang Feng's living room, smoking cigarettes one by one and frowning.
At this time, Li Shimin took out the Mitsubishi bayonet that he had just forged and carefully observed it. The bayonet was hammered out using the forging method, and there were irregular water droplets stacked on top of the bayonet. It also had the kind of colorful color that was left behind after being quenched, making the bayonet look quite strange.
The bayonet had a sharp point. If all three sides of the bayonet were opened, no one knew what effect it would have. However, it seemed that this bayonet could not withstand being chopped and smashed, so it could only be used as a bayonet.
"Old Hei, what do you think? Can this bayonet be used in the whole army?"
"This …"
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong hesitated for a while.
In the end, Cheng Yaojin frowned and took the bayonet from Li Shimin's hand. He played with it in his hand and said, "Second Master, to be honest, this bayonet reminds me of a kind of profession that Fengzi mentioned before."
"Tell me about it."
Li Shimin's eyes lit up. He waved his hand and said.
"If it's used in the whole army, Fengzi can't make so many bayonets in a short time even if he works himself to death. Even if he outsources this bayonet, although I don't know what it means, the general idea is to find a smelting workshop and let them forge these bayonets into what we need."
"However, if it's used in the Vanguard Battalion that Fengzi mentioned before, or for spies or sneak attacks, the effect may be …"
Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard that.
If that was the case, it was really feasible.
In a year's time, when the smelting technique was perfected, the whole Tang army would be wearing this kind of armor made of steel and armed with guns. Then, who could resist the Tang Dynasty's army?
The more he thought about it, the more excited Li Shimin became.
He waved his hand and said, "Pass down the order. Have all our subordinates focus on collecting iron and coal, as well as the forging of these things. Just this stiletto, you all saw it. It took at least four hours to forge. If there are more, how much will it cost?"
"What we lack now is not people, but this kind of rare steel. As long as we have more people, when the time comes, I … I will open a large smelting workshop on this mountain. In less than a year, no, only half a year, ten thousand smelters won't be able to produce enough equipment for ten thousand people, right?"
"As long as we have these ten thousand people, even if the Turks mobilize their entire army, what do We have to fear?"
Let alone ten thousand people.
At this time, even if there were only one hundred of them, Cheng Yaojin would still dare to lead them to clash with the Turks' main force, but …
Although Li Shimin's words were very good, and everyone had a good idea, everything needed a process.
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were silent, Li Shimin slowly put away the excitement on his face. As he smoked, he paced back and forth in Zhang Feng's living room.
After a while, Li Shimin asked, "Old Niu went to Lantian. Is there any news?"
"No."
"Send a message to him. Even if he meets the Wang Family, tell him that this is my thing. If the Wang Family wants it, they can come to me for it!"
Li Shimin had really made up his mind.
As long as there was coal, this kind of steel could be produced a few hundred jin of steel in a day if all the furnaces on the mountain were turned on. At that time, these few hundred jin of steel would only take five to ten days at most. Even if he used his head and teeth to gnaw, he believed that the people in the Ministry of Works could produce a batch of what he wanted.
Not to mention this kind of military knife, just how many of those indestructible long spears could be produced in a day?
Even if it was five hundred jin of steel, how many long spears could be produced?
Even if the spearhead of a long spear weighed two and a half jin, these five hundred jin could be made into two hundred long spears!
Two hundred ah!
This was Li Shimin's initial estimate.
As long as he had these two hundred indestructible long spears, he wanted to see what these aristocratic families could use to resist him!
In the face of absolute power, any chain of family influence was nonsense. The reason why Li Shimin hadn't clashed head-on with them before was because he still had some reservations. But today, after seeing these things, Li Shimin really didn't have any more reservations.
Trade route blockade?
Was he afraid now?
At this moment, Li Shimin finally made up his mind.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "In short, at all costs, first rush out a thousand sets of these indestructible long spears and those indestructible shields and send them to Qiuci. As for the rest, wait for me to personally explain it to Feng Zi."
"Yes!"
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong hurriedly got up to comply.
Li Shimin put away his Mitsubishi bayonet and waved his hand. But at this moment, Yuchi Gong asked, "Second Master, you're planning to move against Feng Zi, right?"
"What do you mean?"
Li Shimin asked with a frown.
But Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin had already left.
Li Shimin was left alone to think.
