Chapter 29 Making Armor

It is the dream of a hero in the cold weapon age to be able to ride with one horse, and these brave generals who ride alone into battle not only appear in their respective romance novels and storytelling scripts, but also have shined brightly in real history.

The reason is not only that the heroes have strong martial arts and galloping horses, but also because the heroes wear thick armor. They are like giant steel beasts. They are invulnerable and gallop back and forth, smashing the enemy's formation to pieces.

Every man has a heroic heart, but the prerequisite is that he will not be easily killed by the enemy. Although Zhang Shun does not have famous ministers and good generals, he has many brave generals. Wukong, Chen Changzhen, Xiao Qinhu, Zhang

The three hundred are all worth one as ten, and one as a hundred. However, due to the lack of protection, Zhang Shun always dared not let them rush into the formation easily.

Although Zijin Liang later gave Zhang Shun several pieces of cotton armor, all of which were of poor quality, they were basically better than nothing. Fortunately, Zhang Shun shamelessly got a pair of plain armor from Zijin Liang, so he took the opportunity to give it to someone with a figure similar to his own.

Chen Changzhen was shocked.

This Ming armor is actually Ming iron armor. It is different from cotton armor. The iron armor pieces of cotton armor are hidden in the cotton clothes, so it is classified as dark armor. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, due to financial difficulties and the increasing use of firearms, cotton armor became more and more popular.

becoming more and more popular.

Especially in the late Ming Dynasty, it was popular to fire shotgun shells, which had intensive firepower but weak penetration, which was just suitable for this kind of armor. However, as the war became more and more intense, the power of firearms became more and more powerful, and the defensive power of cotton armor gradually became insufficient.

.Especially under the influence of corruption, the armor pieces in the dark armor are often easily damaged. Therefore, the bright armor suddenly became a symbol of sophisticated armor.

But Zhang Shun had other ideas. He believed that in this era, Ming armor was on the verge of being eliminated. Unless the plate armor technology tree was selected, the protective effect of cotton armor and Ming armor would not be reliable. Of course, wearing

Heavy armor is also possible, but it is only a very time-consuming means and cannot be used as normal equipment.

Therefore, Zhang Shun combined the concepts of body armor and plate armor from later generations, and used the existing resources at his hand to invent a special armor.

In the library of later generations, he once saw a kind of cloth armor made of layers of cloth sewn together, which was both light and had some defensive power. However, it had been so long that he could not remember the other details. But this was not

It does not prevent him from designing the "bulletproof vest" of the Ming Dynasty.

Last time, the rebels gave him a lot of silk for free. These things that were considered useless by the rebels turned out to be priceless treasures for Zhang Shun. Zhang Shun was a military fan in his previous life. Maybe it was because the country was threatened by external threats. He especially liked all kinds of silk.

Aircraft battleship.

After buying various weapons magazines, I would occasionally look at various equipment and weapons of the Army. In one of the articles introducing the history of body armor, it was mentioned that early body armors were made of silk and were very effective.

So Zhang Shun personally summoned Ma Yingniang and asked her to fold the silk pieces together and sew them into a thick cloth. Then he hung the silk piece on a tree and bombarded it with the newly made Tiger Crouching Cannon.

This kind of immoral thing made Ma Yingniang very angry. How can a girl not love beauty? She heard that Zhang Shun had a large amount of silk in his hands. When she heard that Zhang Shun was looking for her, she thought it was her brother who had performed well. He was going to give her a brother.

There were several bolts of silk. So, when Zhang Shun asked her to sew such a strange thing just now, she started sewing it carefully without saying a word.

As a result, before she had a chance to appreciate what she had worked so hard to make, she was bombarded to pieces by this guy, and her eyes became red with anger. Tears kept rolling in her eyes, and she wanted to pick up the item in front of her.

A few days ago, Zhang Shun was chopped into pieces with a pair of steel knives given to her by her brother.

Zhang Shun didn't know what his little daughter was thinking, so he ran over to take a look and saw that the silk was basically not damaged. He untied the silk again and saw that the tree had only scratched a little. Zhang Shun couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly took it.

She held up the piece of silk and gestured to Ma Yingniang: "It's almost the same as this. If you add more base layer, it should be about as thick as one finger."

"I'm ignoring you, you bad guy!" Ma Yingniang was so angry that she turned around and left.

Zhang Shun was immediately confused: What happened to this aunt! However, this did not hinder Zhang Shun's soft figure. He quickly chased after her and said: "Ying Niang, please don't be angry. Just help me with this matter."

Not only are you helping me, but you are also helping your brother."

"Nonsense, how does this matter have anything to do with my brother?" Ma Yingniang didn't believe it.

"Look at this silk, it can't be broken by artillery. It should be used to make armor. If it is made, everyone will not be afraid of the enemy's firearms." Zhang Shun quickly showed her the silk.

When Ma Yingniang saw it, she blushed. It turned out that there was basically no damage to the silk, but she was too worried. So Ma Yingniang stopped being petty and came back to help Zhang Shun sew silk. Sure enough, this time

Shooting again, not even the bark of the tree was damaged.

Zhang Shun was extremely happy and quickly called Zhang Sanbai, who had come with Ma Yingniang to "supervise", and ordered him to find a hundred women. When Sanbai heard this, he also said a little unhappy: "My lord likes women."

, but just find three or four. How can a man control so many women if he only has one bird?"

Zhang Shun almost vomited blood when he heard this and said: "Who do you think I am, Zhang Shun? I am looking for some women to sew armor for us."

When Zhang Sanbai heard this, he thought to himself: Since ancient times, I have only heard of armor made of iron, but not of sewing, so he looked at him with suspicion. Zhang Shun had no choice but to test it out just now.

Zhang Sanbai told Zhang Sanbai about the situation. Zhang Sanbai looked at the silk that had been bombarded just now with suspicion, and was surprised to find that this matter was actually true.

Zhang Shun had just sent Zhang Sanbai and Ma Yingniang away, but he saw Chen Changzhen coming on horseback to look for him. Zhang Shun had previously discovered that Zhao Lizi was in charge of scouting and had made rapid progress, so he thought this was a shortcut to cultivate talents easily.

.So Zhang Shun appointed the experienced Chen Changzhen as Hou Zheng, trained him, and assigned one hundred of his men to Xiao Qinhu, so that Xiao Qinhu could gain more experience in leading troops. Therefore, this time Zhang Shun

I thought there was a military situation, so I quickly asked: "What's going on at Changzhi? But there is a military situation?"

"My lord, there is nothing military." Chen Changzhen said, "But I have something that I plan to tell my lord."

"Oh? I wonder what's going on? Changzhi even came here specially."

"It's about the 'Little Wenhou' Wei Congyi..." Before Chen Changzhen could finish speaking, he was grabbed by Wukong in front of Zhang Shun. The guy yelled loudly: "What did you say?
