King's Landing, a Red Keep.
Tyrion Lannister has brown-gold curly hair covering his forehead. He wears a soft leather coat embroidered with a lion's roar. He is a little over one meter tall, with a big head and a small body. His forehead is protruding, and he walks in a strange way.
"Hey, brother, didn't you notice me? What are you doing? Did my lovely big sister appoint you as her personal messenger?"
Jaime Lannister shrugged and slowed his pace.
Tyrion Lannis followed Jaime. "Jaime, you should learn to approach me. My most important role in Lannister is to stand beside you, to complement your greatness at all times."
James sighed helplessly: "Okay, you win, I took the initiative to confess that I was indeed going to deliver the letter."
Tyrion immediately put on a smile and said, "My lonely sister, has she finally given up on stealing? Come on, show me."
James's lips twitched and he held up the envelope: "Unfortunately, it's sealed."
Jaime's hand on the envelope swung, avoiding Tyrion's hands that were jumping to grab the envelope. "It's not confidential. I can tell you what's inside."
"Oh, it seems I guessed wrong."
"Well, don't always make malicious assumptions about Cersei. You are siblings."
"Ahaha, let me look forward to my dear sister kissing my little face, unless the Seven Gods are taking a nap."
"Tyrion, do not disrespect the Seven."
"Old Seven Gods won't care what I say."
Tyrion patted Jaime's thigh. "Tell me."
"He's a small baron from Crabclaw Peninsula. Cersei plans to take him along on this hunting expedition."
"What unexpected news! My elder sister seems to be in a good mood?"
"The young baron sent me a letter of his own accord. That fellow is a flatterer."
"Haha, James, you don't seem to like this little baron. Are you afraid that he will steal your sister's favor from your brother?"
"It's rare for you two to agree. I'm not that mean. Young people should focus more on swordsmanship, not flattery."
"That's perfect, Jaime. As a member of the Kingsguard, I can take this opportunity to teach him a lesson and help him grow."
Tyrion paused, then added, "Brother, Crabclaw Peninsula is a desolate place. You're a Lannister, you'll never understand what it's like to be short of money. Who would want to wield a sword when they can't even fill their stomachs? Crabclaw Peninsula has a tradition of swearing allegiance to the queen directly; it's their ancestral craft."
"Brother, this is a good thing. At least the young baron is not stupid. He knows that the Lannisters are rich, right?"
James was a little embarrassed: "The truth is all with you, I am suitable for running errands."
......
......
Three days later, the sky was clear.
Whispering City, inside the bow making room.
Green picked up the longbow, which was about 2 meters long, from the wooden table, stretched it and tested the pulling force, which was about 110 to 120 pounds.
In order to survive, most of the people in Kleber's territory have to farm and hunt. Most of them can use bows and arrows, and this pulling force can be used as an introduction and is easy to adapt to.
If combined with systematic training, the long-term plan is to add longbows with a pulling force of 150 pounds, 180 pounds, etc.
The longbow is modeled after the English longbow in the memory of the previous life. It has a simple production process and a long range.
"My Lord, I can now make three in a day."
"Me too!"
"Me too."
......
The people who answered Green's questions were carpenters, who were originally craftsmen making bows and arrows. There were about 10 of them.
Green's original plan was to divide the longbow production process into several parts and establish a simplified assembly line to increase efficiency.
Green later retracted his original idea. The first difficulty was that there were no suitable factory managers. Without effective supervision and management, quality and efficiency would only decline simultaneously.
Demand for longbows won't surge anytime soon, and the current production rate can meet demand. Therefore, it was decided to keep using traditional methods. With the artisans gathered together, the production speeds of others could be easily seen, creating room for competition and a small step forward.
Green warned himself that too much is as bad as too little, and he should take it step by step and not take too big a step, as it would be easy to pull the fragile parts.
Overall, Green was satisfied. He picked up a few longbows at random to try them out and then gave some instructions on some details.
Green announced to everyone that the longbow was named Kleber Longbow.
......
Knight Pell was well-known in the territory and completed the task quickly.
The 100-man Survey Corps has begun simple deployment training.
Most of the soldiers in the Survey Corps are hunters, and they come with bows and short swords.
Just as Green had planned, the Survey Corps' standard weapons were a shortbow and a short sword.
Green defines the Survey Corps as mountain leather-armored light infantry whose main mission is reconnaissance and surprise attacks.
Because the honest soldiers of the Survey Corps brought their own weapons, the limited arsenal of Whispering City was relieved a lot.
Everything else was fine, but Green discovered that the arrows brought by the hunters were not good enough. Most of them were made by the hunters themselves, and the quality varied.
Arrows are not lethal enough, so the main task of the Whispering City Blacksmith Shop is now to focus on making high-quality arrows.
Green feels like he's always busy.
First of all, the helmet is another problem.
There were definitely no extra helmets in the armory. The 200 soldiers from the Kleber territory had to turn the armory upside down to get a full set.
Green thought of the turbans popular among pirates.
The gray linen, which was the most abundant item in the warehouse, was cut into towel-sized pieces and tied around the head to serve as a makeshift military cap.
The 100 men all tied their headscarves with gray linen, giving them a bit of the feel of a regular army.
[Survey Corps Cohesion +1]
Next is armor.
In the future, Green's goal is to have all members of the Survey Corps wear leather armor over their standard equipment, chain mail.
Now, the goal is too far away.
There is plenty of leather in the warehouse of Whispering City, but it is almost all soft leather, with only a small amount of hard leather.
The main material used to make leather armor is hard leather.
In order to ensure basic protection for every soldier in the Survey Corps, Green mobilized all the idle people in the city to work together to make leather armor.
Time is tight, so details and aesthetics have to be sacrificed.
Cut, punch holes, put on straps, and a simple leather armor is completed.
The Thorn Legion of Emparo cannot be ignored either. As a lord, you cannot favor one over the other.
But using the original method, the amount of hard crust would definitely not be enough.
Green thought about it for a while and decided that the new leather armor of the Kleber Territory should remove the back armor and only retain the front armor to protect the chest and abdomen. This way, there would be about twice as many leather armors, which could barely equip the Thorn Legion.
Doesn't your back need protection?
As long as you are always facing the enemy, is there any need to worry about your back?
Green's family motto has been temporarily expanded to include another one: never turn back.
