Chapter 57 Making Armor

It is the dream of a hero in the cold weapon age to be able to ride with one horse. These brave generals who ride alone and charge 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 steel behemoths. Invulnerable to bullets, he galloped back and forth, knocking 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 did not have famous ministers or generals, he had many brave generals. Wukong, Chen Changzhen, Xiao Qinhu, and Zhang Sanbai are all people who can compare one to ten and one to 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 asked for a pair of bright armor from the "Purple Golden Liang", so he took the opportunity to give it to Chen Changzhen, who was similar in stature to himself.

This Ming armor is actually Ming iron armor, which 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. The timeline reaches the end of the Ming Dynasty. Due to financial difficulties and the increasing use of firearms, cotton armor became 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 firearms became more and more powerful, and the defensive power of the cotton armor gradually became insufficient. Especially under the influence of corruption, the armor pieces in the dark armor are often easily damaged. Therefore, Mingjia suddenly became a symbol of excellent armor.

However, 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 effects of cotton armor and Ming armor would not be reliable. Of course, it is also possible to wear heavy armor, but it is just 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 a certain degree of defense. It's just that so much time has passed that he can't remember other details. However, this did not prevent him from designing the "body armor" 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 to Zhang Shun. Zhang Shun was a military fan in his previous life. Perhaps because the country was threatened by external threats, he was particularly fond of various aircraft and warships.

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

So Zhang personally summoned Ma Yingniang and asked her to fold the silk together and sew it into a thick piece of cloth. Then hang the silk piece on the tree and bombard 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. Here are some bolts of silk. Therefore, 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 turned red with anger. Tears kept rolling in her eyes, and she wanted to pick up a pair of steel knives that her brother had given her a few days ago and chop Zhang Shun into pieces.

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. When I untied the silk again, I saw that the big tree had just scratched a little bit of its skin. Zhang Shun couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly showed Ma Yingniang the silk piece and said, "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 suddenly 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. You are not only helping me, but 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 it was because of my own carelessness. So Ma Yingniang stopped being petty and came back to help Zhang Shun sew silk. Sure enough, this time he shot again, not even the bark of the tree was damaged.

Zhang Shun was extremely happy and quickly called Zhang Sanbai, who had followed Ma Yingniang to "supervise", and ordered him to find a hundred women. When he heard this three hundred, he also said a little unhappy: "My lord likes women, but he can only 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 that armor is made of iron, but not that armor is made of sewing, so he looked at him with suspicion. Zhang Shun had no choice but to tell Zhang Sanbai about the test situation just now. Zhang Sanbai looked at the silk that had been bombarded just now with suspicion, and was surprised to find that this was actually true.

Zhang Shun had just sent Zhang Sanbai and Ma Yingniang away, but saw Chen Changzhen coming on horseback, looking for him. Previously, Zhang Shun 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 also appointed the experienced Chen Changzheng 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 thought there was a military situation, so he quickly asked: "What's the matter with 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 Wen Hou' Wei Congyi." Before Chen Changzhen could finish speaking, he was grabbed by Wukong in front of Zhang Shun. I saw the guy yelling loudly: "What did you say?"
