Fifteen a week. At present, there are about 120 blacksmiths in the territory, 30 skilled blacksmiths and 90 apprentices. That is, about one master with three blacksmith apprentices. According to him, two blacksmiths and six apprentices can make one in a week?
Efficiency is too slow!
Although it is steel, the strength of cast iron carburized steel is much lower than that of later steel. Although it is ahead of other bronze weapons and iron weapons of this era, it is not much like the large kitchen knives used to kill pigs and cut bones in later generations. Of course, it''s not made of stainless steel, but the kitchen knife made by a blacksmith in a previous rural life, a metal with hardness between iron and steel.
Murphy couldn''t help feeling with this in his mind.
If a modern stainless steel kitchen knife comes to this era, I''m afraid it''s also a rare sharp tool, isn''t it?
"At present, everything in the blacksmith''s shop is put down, and the double knives worn by the Spartan conquerors are forged with this kind of steel." At present, there is still more than half a month to go before the late autumn, which is enough time to forge the double swords to arm the Spartan conquerors. The surplus will be provided to the war Temple priests, because they will follow Murphy to the battle!
This war, Murphy can be said to be pressed on all the belongings!
"See that mountain peak?" Murphy pointed to a mountain not far from the town and said, "from today on, 200 mu of land under that mountain belongs to you."
There was a trace of excitement on the middle-aged blacksmith''s face.
But before he showed it, Murphy''s words surprised him.
"In the future, you will be in charge of everything in the blacksmith shop. As long as you can forge weapons with better performance, I will never be stingy with rewards." With that, Murphy turned to the clerk behind him and said, "all the blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop will be rewarded with ten acres of land, and the apprentices will be rewarded with five acres."
"Yes. Your excellency. " The clerk took up his pen and wrote it down quickly.
As the jackals around the territory were cleared, more and more land could be cultivated. In fact, after Murphy prepared for this battle, he began to reward the land wantonly. After all, the land is only valuable for farming. At present, the total area of the territory is about 1200 square kilometers. As it is close to the nidoria River, the terrain is gentle, of which about 600 square kilometers can be used as cultivated land.
The measurement method of Athens is a little bigger than that of China, which is that one square kilometer is equal to 1500 mu. The measurement method used in Athens is about 1000 mu per square kilometer.
In other words, if all the poor and rich fields in the current territory are dug out, there will be about 60W mu of land.
Of course, there are certainly not so many cultivated land.
Because reclaiming cultivated land is the first choice of rich water and fertile land. However, as long as the population is enough, there will be no problem in reclaiming 2.3 million mu of land.
According to a population of 10 mu, there is absolutely no pressure to support tens of thousands of citizens in the territory. Because according to a family of three people, 30 mu of land is more than enough. In fact, the land that Murphy is now awarding is fertile land that has been given priority to reclamation. It is very convenient to be close to the nidoria River, irrigation area and so on. It''s exaggerating to say that one mu is more than five mu, but it''s absolutely no problem to compare two or three mu.
Under the conservative background of the ancient times, if we want to vigorously develop technology, we can only rely on the Lord''s reward to encourage the enthusiasm of the people.
After all, there is no patent right in this era, and it is useless to have a patent right.
There will be piracy in later generations, let alone in this era!
Almost as soon as Murphy gave the order, the tone of "total war" auxiliary system also sounded in his ear.
"Ding! Find excellent talents and bring them into the data statistics as an entourage. "
"Excellent blacksmith: he is a skilled blacksmith who dares to innovate and seek breakthroughs. He has discovered a new forging method, which can forge more excellent weapons! No doubt, he is the master blacksmith of the future（ The research progress of ironware will be increased by 10% with + 2 forging process. "
entourage?
Murphy was delighted.
Because of the appearance of cast iron carburizing steel, the blacksmith shop in the territory temporarily gave up the building of other weapons, and was specially responsible for building new weapons with the Spartan conqueror''s double knife model. Murphy''s order was that the Spartan conquerors and war Temple priests must be dressed within half a month.
In fact, one of the things Murphy is thinking about right now is.
Would he like to train a group of heavy infantry with swords or swords in the future based on the Spartan conquerors. Because of the lack of texture of bronze weapons, most of the attack methods are assassination. It''s easy to break the weapons by chopping. So in this era, sword is one of the leading weapons. However, with the improvement of forging technology, the way of fighting has gradually changed from the original stab to chop. As long as the quality of weapons is improved, the power of melee chop on the battlefield will be greater than that of stab. This is also the reason why sword cutting gradually rose in the middle ages. Even in the East, before the sword completely replaced the sword, there were ring head sword, horse chopping sword, and they evolved into the famous Modao（ Fighting cavalry is one reason.)
If you have seen the Tang Dao style, you can see the change from sword to Dao in history.
And the most important thing is that the sword is easier to train than the sword. Chop for physical and strength requirements are relatively high, but the skills are not too cumbersome.
With the precedent of Spartan conquistadors, it should not be a big problem for them to train soldiers who use knives as templates.
And the most important thing is.
Although the Greek phalanx is powerful, its weakness is obvious.
The way of fighting is single, mobility is not enough, defense is more than enough, attack is not enough.
If you meet a centaur like this with bow and arrow based race, basically can only wait to die!
In the future, we will definitely need a kind of infantry with strong offensive ability. At this time, Murphy considered the use of heavy weapons such as axe, scepter and so on, as well as infantry equipped with sword.
(chopping sword is basically a two handed sword.)
ok
Murphy admitted that after his forging process was improved, he thought of a well-known branch of the army - modaobing!
The modaobing is a kind of weapon with terrible lethality, but its defects are also very obvious. The requirements for weapons are very high, and the requirements for soldiers are even higher. It''s because the soldiers of Modao are equipped with heavy armour, and they take the elite of the elite as the array. It can be said that the soldiers who use Modao should have no problem to be a hundred soldiers. To put it more simply, the requirements for soldiers'' physique are very high!
The forging process of weapons can be improved.
And the dwarves in this world are excellent in forging technology.
So the problem is in physique, the physique of Greek soldiers is not too tall, but don''t forget the Spartan soldiers! They are born soldiers and have been trained since childhood!
The most important point is!
Murphy is able to hold the ceremony of grace for them through Athena, the goddess of wisdom!
The Spartan soldiers who enter into the state of fanaticism and even fury can burst out the powerful power far beyond the limit of human beings!
Then, in this way, the harsh requirements for strength and quality can also be met. Although Murphy only knows the general style of Modao, if he can imitate a weapon similar to Modao, there is no need to train sword chopping arms and heavy weapons arms in the later stage.
In the ability to break the battle, the modaobing won!
Spartan soldier''s physique, adds the strange sword''s formidable lethality!
Imagine Modao, Spartan muscles, a bright red cape, and the iconic red underpants!
Murphy thinks the future is bright.
The mode of operation of Greek infantry square array is single, and its biggest weakness is clumsiness and inflexibility. The war between Rome and Macedon in those years was due to the terrain and the formation spread in the process of pursuit. As a result, Rome hit a big push back!
Therefore, it is necessary to supplement other arms to cooperate with the Greek phalanx in the future.
That''s in Murphy''s plan.
The next day, Murphy called others to discuss his tactics for holding the canyon.
Due to the level of civilization of the times, many tactical applications are inadequate. In fact, Murphy''s plan is much better than the two generals'' direct array of defense.
In fact, the only useful advice came from Mrs. Elizabeth.
The advice is simple.
——Poison arrow!
There are many poisonous plants near the karazan mountains, such as a kind of plant similar to the tree of Aristolochia frutescens. You only need to extract their venom and put the arrow cluster in it to soak for a period of time. Poisoned arrows, even if they don''t shoot the jackals to death on the spot, the back poison can kill them. At least, it can make them lose combat effectiveness.
It''s simple.
But it is a very effective way.
After finalizing the plan, Murphy did not hesitate to arrange the manpower to prepare for the expedition in half a month.
This is bound to be a tough battle, a bitter battle.
But the rewards are also good.
As long as we can win, then Murphy is really laying a foundation in this world!
