Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 365 Change into a new military uniform and prepare for the expedition

"But what does your lord want to change into the general's uniform?" Sun Yuanhua looked at Zhao Wen with doubts on his face.

"You don't have to worry about this, you will know when the time comes. Now you are responsible for setting up the transportation bureau first, and as for the military uniform, leave it to me."

Zhao Wen stood up, waved at Sun Yuanhua, and left Sun Yuanhua's classroom.

It is not far from the General Military Mansion to Sun Yuanhua's squad, just a few steps away.

After Zhao Wen returned to his study, he recalled the appearance of a certain country's military uniform in later generations, and began to draw on the declaration.

An hour later, Zhao Wen put down the charcoal pencil in his hand and rubbed his wrist.

There is a declaration on the table, and the painting on the declaration is the military uniform of a certain country in later generations.

The military uniforms drawn by Zhao Wen are divided into two types, combat uniforms and dresses.

Originally there was also a regular dress, but the regular dress had that kind of small western-style lapel on it.

The design of the western-style small lapel is probably not acceptable in this era, so Zhao Wen did not draw ordinary clothes.

In addition to these two military uniforms, there are also military coats and shirts worn under the uniforms.

There are two styles of military coats, one is a large lapel double-breasted copper button military coat, and the other is a stand-up collar double-breasted copper button military coat.

And what Zhao Wen drew is a military coat with a stand-up collar and double-breasted copper buttons.

After drawing, Zhao Wen took the decree, went out, and asked the guard standing at the door to hand it over to Sun Yuanhua.

After Sun Yuanhua got the blueprint drawn by Zhao Wen, he looked at the blueprint drawn by Zhao Wen with a strange face.

The aesthetics of this era is very different from that of later generations, especially this kind of Western-style military uniform.

Combat uniforms, dresses, and shirts are all double-breasted, and the two are very similar, except for the decorations and the materials required, there is no difference in other things.

Sun Yuanhua can accept these types of clothes, after all, these two kinds of clothes are double-breasted, and there are many double-breasted clothes in this era.

Compared with the round neck shirt, there is an extra stand-up collar, and the wide sleeves are changed into narrow sleeves, and the buttons are placed in the front.

What makes Sun Yuanhua even more puzzled is why there are so many types of military uniforms?
Sun Yuanhua held the blueprint in his hand and thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what Zhao Wen's intention was.

"Forget it, let's go find your lord." Sun Yuanhua walked out with the decree in hand.

It was getting late at this time, and Zhao Wenzheng was sitting in the dining room having dinner with Li Xiaoying, Hai Lanzhu and the others.

"Hurry up and eat more, now we will go to war, but you need to take care of your body." Li Xiaoying picked up a piece of meat and put it into Zhao Wen's bowl.

Zhao Wen beamed and ate the piece of meat that Li Xiaoying gave him.

"My lord, Mr. Sun, please see me."

A personal guard stood at the door of the dining room and shouted towards Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen put down his chopsticks, told Li Xiaoying and Hai Lanzhu a few words, and walked out.

As soon as he walked out of the dining room, Zhao Wen saw Sun Yuanhua standing in the yard.

"My lord, I have some questions I want to ask you." Sun Yuanhua took out the blueprint drawn by Zhao Wen.

"Let's go to the study." Zhao Wen pointed to the direction of the study, and then led Sun Yuanhua towards the study.

After Zhao Wen sat down, Sun Yuanhua put the drawings on the table, pointed to the drawings on the table and said to Zhao Wen, "Master, why do you design so many types of military uniforms?"

Zhao Wen smiled and said, "Isn't there a logo on it? One is a combat uniform, one is a dress, one is a military coat, and the rest are the shirts inside."

"But my lord, isn't it a bit wasteful for you to do this? From ancient times to the present, there has never been a military uniform distributed to soldiers like this. Basically, they are all of the same kind. Why do you distribute so many to soldiers?" Sun Yuanhua asked with a puzzled expression.

Sun Yuanhua's remarks are not unreasonable. In ancient times, soldiers' uniforms were basically of the same type.This is the first time Sun Yuanhua has seen so many military uniforms like Zhao Wen's.

Zhao Wen pointed to the drawings on the declaration and explained in detail: "In this case, I will explain it to you.

The first type of military uniform is combat uniform, which is worn by soldiers when fighting, and the second type is formal dress, which is worn during meetings or ceremonies.

As for the third type, strictly speaking, it is not considered a military uniform, it is just a military overcoat, something similar to a cloak, but worn by soldiers.

As for the shirt, it is worn next to the body, just like a middle coat. "

Sun Yuanhua frowned tightly, he still couldn't understand why Zhao Wen did this.

"But my lord, one piece is enough, wouldn't it be a waste to have more?"

"Soldiers guard the country and defend the country. I don't want my soldiers to be like the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. My soldiers must be heroes who can stand up to the sky. The uniforms they wear must reflect the uniqueness of soldiers. spirit.

I know that you have many doubts in your heart. I will explain these doubts to you in detail in the future. Now you can do what I say. "

.........

A few days later, the quilt factory finally produced the first batch of military uniforms. Due to time constraints and the fact that the woolen factory had not yet been established, only combat uniforms were produced.

The number of combat uniforms is not large, and they can only be equipped with Zhao Wen's personal guard battalion.

After all, the personal guard battalion is Zhao Wen's direct descendant, so Zhao Wen must equip the personal guard battalion first.

After all the soldiers changed their outfits, Zhao Wen asked them to practice.

Standing on the high platform of the school grounds, Zhao Wen looked at the guard camp below who was practicing, his face was full of excitement.

"Do you think there is any difference between the current personal guard camp and the previous personal guard camp?" Zhao Wen pointed to the personal guard camp that was being drilled, and said to the people behind him.

Standing behind Zhao Wen were Liu Wenzhong and others. It was Zhao Wen who specially pulled them over to see how the Guards Battalion, which had changed into new military uniforms, was different from before.

Liu Wenzhong looked at the soldiers of the Guards Battalion who were in full swing during the drill, and kept nodding, "My lord, although this new military uniform looks a little weird, it makes the soldiers more energetic."

"I feel the same way. After changing into the new military uniform, my energy and spirit will increase a lot." Sun Yuanhua looked at the soldiers below and kept nodding.

Zhao Wen laughed, "If it wasn't like this, why should I change clothes?
That's enough, let's not talk about this, now the affairs of Xuanzhen are almost handled, and all kinds of materials are almost produced, and it's time to send troops. "

Zhao Wen's face became serious. He looked at the people behind him and said in a deep voice, "I plan to send troops to Shanxi in four days. What do you think?"

Liu Wenzhong shook the goose feather fan, his face was full of solemnity, "Why don't you wait a few days, sir? Wait until all the new military uniforms are changed before setting off?"

"Don't wait, if you wait any longer, I'm afraid it will be winter. After I leave, you will continue to give birth, and the same goes for changing clothes on the battlefield." Zhao Wen let out a long breath, and then led these people back to the General Military Mansion.

Everyone heard Zhao Wen's voice, their eyes were full of fiery colors.

After returning to the General Military Mansion, Zhao Wen gave all the soldiers except those in the east a day off, and paid them a month's salary in advance during the holiday.

After all, they don't know when they will return from this expedition, so let them reunite with their families.

A soldier from the Guards Battalion was wandering around the streets of Xuan Town wearing a new-style military uniform and holding the military salary that had just been issued.

When he appeared on the street wearing a new military uniform, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"You're so energetic. You're worthy of being an elite soldier of the Chief Soldier. He just looks different." Pedestrians on the street couldn't stop sighing when they saw the clothes on his body.

These common people also know about soldiers changing clothes. After all, many common people work in quilt factories.

Hearing these voices, the soldier blushed involuntarily.

"Shopkeeper, here are two catties of sweet-scented osmanthus cake." The soldier walked into a pastry shop and shouted at the shopkeeper inside.

The shopkeeper looked at the soldiers and asked in surprise, "Is this your new military uniform? There have been rumors in the city these days that you are going to change to new military uniforms, especially those who work in the quilt factory. I asked what the new military uniforms looked like, but they couldn't tell."

The soldier straightened his chest and said proudly: "That's right, this is our new military uniform. There are not enough of them now, so only us soldiers of the Guards Battalion have them."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this military uniform looks really energetic." The shopkeeper kept talking.

After a while, the shopkeeper asked Xiao Er to wrap two catties of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in straw paper, tie them up with hemp rope, and hand them over to the soldiers.

After asking the price, the soldier paid the money to the shopkeeper, and walked out with the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

As soon as they went out, the soldiers met several soldiers wearing ordinary mandarin duck battle jackets.

"Tch, look at his airy look, isn't it just because he is a member of the personal guard camp, what is there to be so airy." A soldier wearing a mandarin duck battle jacket pointed at the soldier and said with a look of disdain.

"Yo, Wang Sanwa, why are you wearing the new military uniform?" The soldier who had spoken sarcasticly before came over, looked at Wang Sanwa, and said with a playful expression.

Wang Sanwa straightened her waist, and the new military uniform on her body fit him perfectly, making the whole person as tall and straight as Bai Yang.

"No way, who told me to be a member of the personal guard camp? This is fate, don't you think so, Li Ping?" Wang Sanwa said bluntly and turned back.

Wang Sanwa and Li Ping met in the new barracks, but one was selected into the guard camp and the other was not.

The guard camp is the most elite soldiers and horses in Xuan Town, and it is the place that every soldier yearns for.

So when Li Ping saw Wang Sanwa in the new military uniform, he felt very sour.

"Hmph, you were lucky enough to be selected into the guard camp. You wait for me, and I will definitely enter the guard camp then." Li Ping looked at Wang Sanwa's new military uniform, his eyes full of tears. It's hot.

Wang Sanwa chuckled lightly and passed by Li Ping indifferently.

After Wang Sanwa left Li Ping, she walked into a butcher shop and bought some pork there.

When the sun gradually went down, Wang Sanwa returned to her home with big bags and small bags.

Wang Sanwa's family escaped from Shaanxi and was taken in by Zhao Wen, who had just been promoted to the general of Xuanzhen.

Wang Sanwa was the third child in the family, and he had two older brothers, but the eldest brother failed to carry him while fleeing and died on the way.

As for the second child, he was originally going to serve as a soldier, but there are only two sons left in the family. If both of them go to serve as soldiers, their old mother will be left alone, so the second child gave up this opportunity to him. Wang Sanwa.

During the years of becoming a soldier in the guard camp, Wang Sanwa also saved a lot of money. He used the money to buy a house for his family and at the same time married his brother a wife.

Not long after, Wang Sanwa returned home.

"Mother, I'm back." Wang Sanwa stood at the door of the house and shouted inside.

His house is a house built with cement and bricks and tiles, which is the style of this era, and there is a small yard in front.

As soon as Wang Sanwa finished speaking, a 20-year-old woman dressed in black came out with a smile on her face. This woman was his sister-in-law named Qin Xiuniang, who just married this year.

She looked at Wang Sanwa who was standing at the door, and hurriedly took the things in Wang Sanwa's hands, "I heard that you are going to fight? The military uniform on your body is a new type of military uniform, right? It has been spread all over the city these days." I said you were going to change into new-style military uniforms, but I didn’t expect the new-style military uniforms to look so good.”

Wang Sanwa nodded, "Yes, the war is about to start. We were given a day off, and at the same time, we were given a month's military pay. Let us buy some things and come back to reunite with our families."

"Did Sanwa come back?" While speaking, an old woman on crutches came out of the main room, squinting her eyes and looking out of the gate.

Wang Sanwa rushed up to meet her, put the things in her hands on the ground, and supported the woman, "Mother, it's me, it's Sanwa who is back."

"It's Sanwa, really Sanwa." The old woman said excitedly.

Wang Sanwa hurriedly supported the old woman and sat on the chair in the main room.

"Where's the second brother? Why haven't you seen him come back yet?" Wang Sanwa walked around the room, but didn't see his second brother, so she looked at Qin Xiuniang suspiciously.

Qin Xiuniang said: "Isn't your second brother working in the steel factory? Now that there is going to be a war, the steel factory is also busy. It may take an hour to come back."

Wang Sanwa nodded, and then took out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she bought, "Mother, this is your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake I bought for you, please try it quickly."

Wang Sanwa squatted beside the old woman, holding a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and placed it near the old woman's mouth.

The old woman took a bite and narrowed her smiling eyes.

"It's so delicious, so sweet. Sanba, you have to serve Master Zongbing well. Without Mr. Zongbing, our family might die in some gutter. You can't be ungrateful, you must know how to repay your kindness." The old woman patted Wang Sanwa on the shoulder and kept talking.

Wang Sanwa nodded heavily, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint Mr. Zongbing."

After Wang Sanwa finished speaking, she took out the pork and some vegetables she had bought.

"Second sister-in-law, you have made all these things. Let's have a family reunion dinner together tonight."

Qin Xiuniang nodded, took the pork and vegetables, and walked towards the kitchen.
