Chapter 57 Making Armor
It is the dream of heroes in the era of cold weapons to ride a thousand horses. These brave generals who ride alone not only appear in their respective romance novels and storytelling scripts, but also shine 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.Invulnerable to swords and guns, galloping back and forth, smashing the enemy's formation into pieces.

Every man has a heroic heart, but the premise is that he will not be easily killed by the enemy.Although Zhang Shun didn't have famous ministers and generals, he had quite a few brave generals.Wukong, Chen Changzhu, Xiao Qinhu, and Zhang Sanbai all count one as ten and one as hundreds.However, due to lack of protection, Zhang Shun always dared not let them rush into battle easily.

Although Zijinliang later gave Zhang Shun a few cotton armors, all of them were of poor quality, basically nothing was better than nothing.Fortunately, Zhang Shun had the cheek to beg for a pair of bright armor at the "Zijin Liang", so he took the opportunity to give it to Chen Changliang, who was similar in stature to him.

This bright armor is actually a bright iron armor, which is different from the cotton armor. The iron armor pieces of the cotton armor are hidden inside the cotton coat, so it belongs to the dark armor.The timeline came to 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 launch shotgun shells, which were dense in firepower but weak in penetration, which was just right for this kind of armor.However, as the war became more and more intense and the power of firearms became more and more powerful, the defense of the cotton armor gradually became inadequate.Especially under the effect of corruption, the nails inside the dark armor are often easily shortened.Therefore, Mingjia became a symbol of excellent armor for a while.

But Zhang Shun has other ideas. He thinks that in this era, Ming iron armor is also on the verge of being eliminated. Unless the plate armor technology tree is selected, the protective effect of cotton armor or Ming armor will not be reliable.Of course, it is also possible to wear heavy armor, but it is only a very time-consuming method and cannot be used as normal equipment.

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

In the library of later generations, he once saw a kind of cloth armor sewn with layers of cloth, which is light and has a certain degree of defense.It's just that it's been so long that he can't remember the other details.However, this did not prevent him from designing the "body armor" of the Ming Dynasty.

Last time the rebel army gave him a lot of silk for free. These things that the rebel army considered useless were invaluable treasures in Zhang Shun's mind.Zhang Shun was a military fan in his previous life, probably because the country was threatened by outsiders, he especially liked all kinds of aircraft and warships.

After buying various weapons magazines, I occasionally look at various equipment and weapons of the Army.Among them, in an article introducing the history of body armor, it is mentioned that the early body armor was made of silk, and the effect was very good.

So, by the way, Zhang personally recruited Ma Yingniang and asked her to fold the silk together and sew it into a thick cloth.Then hang the piece of silk on a tree and bombard it with a newly cast tiger squat cannon.

This kind of immorality made Ma Yingniang very angry. There is no girl who does not love beauty. She heard that Zhang Shun had a large amount of silk in her hands. When she heard that Zhang Shun was looking for her, she thought it was her brother who had performed outstandingly. Here are some bolts of silk.So, when Zhang Shun asked her to sew such strange things just now, she started to sew without saying a word.

As a result, before she had time to appreciate the things she worked so hard to make, she was blasted to pieces by this guy, and her eyes turned red with anger.Tears kept rolling in her eyes, wishing she could pick up the pair of steel knives his brother gave her a few days ago and chop Zhang Shun up.

Zhang Shun didn't know what the little girl was thinking, so he ran over to take a look, but saw that the silk was basically not damaged.Untie the silk again, and see that the big tree has scratched a little bit of skin.Zhang Shun couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly gestured to Ma Yingniang with a piece of silk, "It's similar to this one, and if you add more layers, it should be as thick as a finger."

"I'm ignoring you, you bastard!" Ma Yingniang was so annoyed, she turned her head and left.

Zhang Shun was at a loss for a moment: what happened to this aunt!But this did not hinder Zhang Shun's soft figure, he quickly chased after him and said, "Don't be angry, Yingniang, just help me, this is not only helping me, but also helping your brother."

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

"Look at this silk, even artillery can't break it. It should be able to be used to make armor. If it is made, everyone will wear it, so they won't 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 the silk was basically harmless, but it was my own overthinking.So this Ma Yingniang stopped being petty, and came back honestly to help Zhang Shun sew silk.Sure enough, when he fired again this time, even the bark of the big tree was not damaged.

Zhang Shun was overjoyed immediately, and quickly called Zhang Sanbai who had followed Ma Yingniang to "supervise" him, and ordered him to find a hundred and ten women.Hearing this piece of three hundred, he said a little unhappy: "The lord likes women, but he only needs to find three or four. There is only one man, how can he control so many women?"

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

As soon as Zhang Sanbai heard this, he thought to himself: Since ancient times, he had only heard that armor was made of iron, but he had never heard that armor was still made of sewing, so he looked at him suspiciously.Zhang Shun had no choice but to tell Zhang Sanbai about the experiment just now.Zhang Sanbai looked suspiciously at the silk that had been bombarded just now, and was surprised to find that it was actually true.

Zhang Shun sent Zhang Sanbai and Ma Yingniang away, but saw Chen Changzhu coming over on horseback, looking for him.Previously, Zhang Shun found out that Zhao Lizi was in charge of scouting affairs and had made rapid progress, so he thought it was a very easy shortcut to cultivate talents.So Zhang Shun appointed the seasoned Chen Changzhu as Hou Zheng, trained him, and distributed one hundred of his subordinates to Xiao Qinhu, so that Xiao Qinhu also gained experience in leading troops.So this time, Zhang Shun thought there was military sentiment, so he quickly asked, "What's the matter with the long stile? But there is military sentiment?"

"My lord, I don't have any military affairs." Chen Changzhu said, "I have something to say to my lord."

"Oh? I don't know what's going on? Changbai even ran over here on purpose."

"It's about that 'Xiao Wenhou' Wei Congyi." Before Chen Changzhu could finish speaking, he was grabbed by Wukong standing in front of Zhang Shun.I saw that fellow scolded loudly: "What did you say?"
