Armor is really a heavy weapon of the military, and the most critical reason why it is rare to see is that it is expensive.

As far as the most worthless cotton armor is concerned, the bubble nail cotton armor of the Ming army is the same as the standard armor of the Qing army in later generations, with the main accessories of the armor body, armor sleeves, and armor skirt, plus the protection of the forearm and lower leg Even if it is a high-grade cotton armor, its manufacture is relatively simple, mixed with cotton, linen, silk and other fabrics, constantly pressed and forged, and made into armor after multi-layer compression, this forged armor can defend against arrows at a long distance, so that serious injuries become minor injuries, although it can not prevent bows and arrows at close range, The protection of slashing and stabbing is also extremely weak, but with such a layer of protection, people hide in armor, but the sense of inner stability cannot be bought by any amount of money.

What's more, the cotton armor is not only cotton and silk linen, but the inside will be lined with iron sheets, and the front of the armor will be fixed with round nails...... The front and sleeves of the outer armor and the armor skirt are densely packed with round nails, and you can imagine how many iron blades are lined inside.

With these iron blades, the protective power of the cotton armor naturally goes up to another layer, at least for ordinary soldiers, the arrows thrown from a distance are no longer a deadly threat, and they have to shoot head-on within sixty paces to produce a fatal threat to the soldiers wearing bubble nail cotton armor.

As for the legendary Dongyu marksman, who shoots people in the face or throat, Mianjia can't solve such troubles, and it's not within the scope of ordinary soldiers' worries.

Although most of the cotton armor in front of you is old and tattered, as long as the armor and armor sleeve and armor skirt are intact, the basic protective function is still there, the flag army has only been seen in thousands of households and military attachés at the command level, how can there be a chance to watch it up close, let alone put on cotton armor, no matter how cheap this thing is, it has to be dozens of taels of silver, which is worth the entire net worth of several flag armies! After it was placed on the ground, the little flag officials, including Min Yuanzhong, carefully stroked their hands, as if they could tear the solid and tight cotton armor with a little force.

The six chain mail, even more amazing, this thing is not easy to manufacture than cotton armor, is the blacksmith keeps forging and drawing, the wrought iron is made into iron wire, and then broken into a chain of interlocking iron rings. The manufacture of chain mail is quite difficult, at least in China, compared with the large-scale manufacturing of chain mail in Europe, China's chain mail technology is relatively lagging behind, and the amount of manufacturing is not much, that is, there is more stock in the Beijing camp of the two capitals, and there are these stored chain mail in Dahewei, which is also close to Nanjing, and is the reason why it belongs to the Chinese military governor's mansion.

Even so, this six-collar chain mail is also old, and although it is carefully maintained, it is obvious that there are still traces of embroidery.

But no matter what, the protective ability of chain mail is much stronger than that of cotton armor, after all, it is an iron ring made of wrought iron wire drawing, and even if it is a close-range arrow after interlocking, unless it hits the vital point, it is also prevented. As for the damage of the knife slash, it can also be reduced by half, and only the long-range spear stabbing at close range can make the defense of the chain mail quite limited.

The collar armor is obviously worn by Min Yuanzhong, the palm-wide iron leaf is made of hemp rope like a mahjong mat in later generations, the nail leaf is also quite thick, the weight of the whole collar armor is more than 20 catties, plus half of the iron sleeves, as well as shin guards, arm guards and other accessories, the whole set of iron armor is completely more than 30 catties...... The gap of the armor is larger, it is relatively simple to build, the armor leaves of the scale iron armor are more firm and fine, and the defense is stronger, but a armor is rare, and the price is more than 100 taels.

The military attache of the guard can collect these cotton armor and chain mail in front of him, this is already the foundation of a great family like the Min family that has been at the level of a commanding envoy, and if he changes to an ordinary guard house, I am afraid that if there are three or five collar cotton armor, even if the family is rich!

"Don't make such a appearance, shame your ancestors!" Seeing everyone carefully touching the armor, Shen Liang stepped forward unceremoniously and almost kicked a few ...... His temper has endured and subsided a lot in the past two years, but after carrying a gun in his hand, the violent temper he had cultivated in the camp at that time has almost returned.

"This is the same thing as the knives and guns in our hands, helping us kill people!" Shen Liang stood in the middle of the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Please hurry up and divide the armor, this thing is not a treasure or an antique, a soldier who is a soldier, even if he can't eat for three days, and the hungry sell his children will never sell armor, sell horses and sell weapons, with these things, he will have the capital of the first level, and sooner or later he will be able to turn it over." This thing is good, but the fight still depends on whether there is a killing intent, there is no killing intent, I have seen the green Tang armor in the battlefield to run away first, or to ask people to turn over from behind, what is the use of birds? ”

Min Yuanqi Shicai was also immersed in the surprise of getting the armor, and at this time he also woke up, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Each small flag officer takes the chain mail, and the rest of the sword players and the short gunners in the back row take the cotton armor...... Shen Liang, you also wear chain mail! ”

"Thank you, Lord Hundred."

Shen Liang did not shirk, he was once a soldier in the Fubiao battalion, and the cotton armor was there when he entered the camp, and later he became the commander of the army, and he directly wore the armor, and later he was even issued with iron scale armor...... Sun Yuanhua sat in Dengzhou, Dengzhou is an important town arranged by the three parties, after the end of the Dongjiang River, a large number of Dongjiang soldiers settled in Dengzhou, and the imperial court also regarded Dengzhou as a bridgehead for the attack on southern Liaoning after the fall of Dongjiang Town, and the supply of food and military supplies was quite sufficient.

Sun Yuanhua himself is Xu Guangqi's proud disciple, and there is Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the dynasty, because he is the leading artillery casting expert in the Ming Dynasty, and has invited a large number of Portuguese missionaries and technicians, plus mercenaries in the army, armor, weapons, and food are very sufficient...... An elite soldier like Shen Liang is actually not very eye-catching even with his armor and chain mail.

The speed at which everyone wears the armor is not fast, they are all a little hurried, the lightest cotton armor is also more than ten pounds, if it is purely done by yourself when wearing it, it is still a little sluggish and difficult, fortunately, there is Shen Liang, a veteran, under his guidance one by one, everyone knows that one person is wearing in front, and the other is helping behind him, and wearing it in groups of two is much lighter and faster than a person wearing it in a hurry and hurry.

Put on the armor, wear the armor sleeves, and then tie the armor skirt, the chain mail is worn from under the armor, directly worn outside the robe, if it is in the battalion, the chain mail is generally worn inside, and then put on a layer of cotton armor or armor outside, the protection is not only two collar armor, but several times the rise.

The elite of the Dongyu Tartars is generally three layers of armor, chain mail, cotton armor, iron armor or scale armor, the three armors add more than 50 catties, and it is difficult to seriously injure them with knives and spears, let alone kill them.

Min Yuanqi has the most armor and supporting things, and Shen Liang and Min Yuanzhong help him together, and he is also the latest one to wear it among everyone.

Min Yuanqi has an understanding, no wonder he has the impression that he has heard the elders talk about it, the armor soldiers are fighting on the battlefield, and the number and importance of the auxiliary soldiers are also quite important, helping the cavalry to feed and take care of the war horses, from the cavalry to help the cavalry with armor weapons, but also to help the armor on the battlefield, the soldiers weigh dozens of pounds after wearing armor, it is difficult to wear, and they have to be helped to sit up when they stand up when they rest, if the energy is used in chores, the energy used to kill the enemy on the battlefield will be much smaller.

However, the Ming army also focused on logistics at the beginning of the country, and also focused on the supply of grain and grass, and in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it was not uncommon for soldiers to rush out of the camp hungry, armor, weapons, firearms, and auxiliaries, including subdivision into transportation baggage, logistics supplies, service, engineers, and firefighters It was even more impossible.

With the armor on the body, everyone's spirit and spirit have undergone significant changes.

Armor is a small flag officer and a sword player, a short gunner armed with a five-foot or seven-foot gun, they may be in front of the defense, or they can rush forward to stab, and the difference between armor and non-armor is quite large. There are no armor for the two spearmen, and there are also some short gunners without armor, after all, forty-one people only have twenty collar armor, half have armor, and half have no armor.

Even if only half of them were wearing armor, Min Yuanqi felt extremely satisfied, and he could only say that he was overjoyed.

"The younger brother is here to wish the third brother and the seventh brother success, and they can rescue Wang Baihu and the eleventh brother."

Min Yuanzhi had obvious envy in his eyes, sending troops in the dark, robbing people and killing people, and it was also an out-and-out legend for the soldiers of the Jiangmen Guard.

As long as this thing is done, tens of thousands of guards and their families in the entire Dahewei and even Huai'anwei will praise Min Yuanqi's prestige, and the Dahewei Min family will become famous again, reproducing the glory of the ancestors when they were praised by civil officials...... The children of the big family, the scholarly family wants to be the lintel of the Jinshi to raise the people, and the family of military generals, of course, wants to fight with the enemy on the battlefield, fight bloodily, establish meritorious deeds, and until the marquis.

Qi Jiguang said that the marquis is not what he wants, but I hope that Hai Boping is of course ambitious, but as a military minister, who doesn't want to be a marquis? Up to Li Guang of the Han Dynasty, down to the generals of the Ming Dynasty, knighted, and passed on to the descendants to bless future generations, this is the most desired result.

When Min Yuanqi saw the excited expressions on the faces of a group of soldiers who nominally defended the country after putting on the armor for the first time, this feeling became even stronger and firmer.

After putting on the armor, people hugged their fists with Min Yuanxian, Han Sen led people to prop up the huge boat, carrying more than 40 people with a boat is indeed a bit overkill, but it is impossible to find a boat that can transport more than 40 people.

The boat is in good condition, the sail rope and the hull have been maintained, after untying the cable and lifting the anchor, the hull slides to the middle of the river, and then people brace the pole forward, the wind direction is very good, although it is against the current, but the hull draft is not deep, the main sail and tail sail are adjusted to eat the wind more full, people can see the hull in the rapids by the moonlight...... Even so, Han Sen is still too slow, the time when he is scheduled to rush to the river house is the time of the pass, and now there are still more than two hours before the time of the child, and when he rushes to the river house to rush to kill and save people, it is very likely that there will be other twists and turns, such as people being locked up elsewhere, or what kind of accident, snatching people out and then releasing the boat back to Yunti Pass, this time is not in a hurry, but to solve the matter successfully and beautifully before dawn, the time still has to be rushed.

Han Sen kept shouting at people to do all kinds of actions according to his orders, and he himself controlled the rudder at the stern, making the ship move forward quickly and steadily.
