Made of cowhide armor, it is similar to dragon armor. The hides are painted, then the nails are closed, the pieces are cut, the pieces are perforated, and the nails are braided into the nails. Paint it twice. The lacquer used is also mixed with crushed enamel. Although it cannot be said that it is invulnerable, ordinary bows, arrows, knives and guns are not a problem.

Then on the front chest, back, thighs, shoulders, arms and helmets, covered with a layer of fine locking rings. That is, the enamel armor of the warrior is much lighter and the protection is sufficient. This new type of armor was named by Liu Bei: inlaid leather armor. Abbreviated as inlaid ring armor.

A complete set of sample armor made of it, with a total weight of 40 catties (10 kg). Justified use.

In order to highlight the characteristics of the mountain barbarians, a short pheasant feather is inserted on the leather basket. The rim of the helmet is inlaid with colorful tiger and leopard skins. The shawl, wrist guards, leg guards, and belt are all decorated with tiger and leopard skin.

It's not hard to lock the ring. First, the flower iron steel ingot is melted into molten steel, poured into the lost wax investment mold, and cast into a steel bar of half thickness (0.5 cm). Then use a wire drawing machine to draw a uniform steel wire. Then around a pre-cast round steel bar, coiled in a circle. Each ring is then cut in turn to make the locking ring needed for weaving the armor. Woven vertically and horizontally into a armor, and then tightened into a plane by the tendon and leather strips, the fracture is fixed outward. The last step is the most critical. The red molten steel in the iron-smelting crucible is 'pointed' at the fracture of the lock ring in turn and fused into a whole ring. Allow to cool and then polish. The edge is wrapped in linen lining leather to form a nail.

The chain ring mail is overhanging, and it is basically weight-bearing on both shoulders. It is not as good as the armor that can bear weight evenly. Therefore, it is fixed outside the leather armor.

See that the inlaid armor can resist the blade and sword, and it is very powerful. The water thieves under the command of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin also wore them one after another. From a distance, it looks no different from Huaisi Mountain. They are all Huaisi soldiers, eating and living together. The two military marquis have clear rewards and punishments, both of them are young heroes, and they are on the right path. When dividing the Wushtunqu, only the brave and the brave are discussed, regardless of the barbarians. It didn't take long for both up and down.

The Wudang Flying Army of 2,000 people, with long swords and short daggers, bows and crossbows are complete. He also carries a special small shield on his back. The small shield is about the same size as the hook-set central gui-shaped panel. It's just that the shape of the Kei has been changed into a circle. Solid wood clad with iron, filled with copper nails, for defense.

At first, Liu Bei only asked Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to enter Licheng with 500 soldiers each. Half of the 2,000-strong Wudang Flying Army was stationed in the martial arts arena, and they rotated into the Licheng campus. The armor and equipment are not in order, and the fear of chaos is the second. Let the generals in the martial arts arena take turns to practice, and grinding away the unruly and banditry is the third. Therefore, it is rotated every ten years. Now the armor is complete, the military discipline is strict, and it is of great use.

Two thousand people guarding the city seems to be a bit of a waste.

But considering that Licheng is the gateway to the western border, it is also appropriate to hoard heavy troops.

Guo Zhi, the mayor of Licheng, is well-governed, and is good at dealing with the stubborn diseases of barbarian conflicts. Called by the two families: capable officials.

From "Hanshu Zhang Chang Biography": "I think I am an open and capable official, and he is troubled, and he is not a master's instrument." The so-called "capable officials" refers to being adept at officials and being good at solving difficult problems. He does not evaluate his own virtues. A competent official may also be a cool official, or it may be a follower. Only talk about the ability to govern, regardless of people's moral conduct. Guo Zhi has been making wine for generations, and his demeanor is quite free and easy. Getting this evaluation is not a grievance.

In the south of the township, Liu Bei prepared to build a new city under the jurisdiction of Dali Pavilion. It was called the city of Dali. Today, it only exists on boards. Lack of manpower is one of them. Second, the southern border is endless, and it is full of water. Whether a city is built or not, there is no difference in security today.

When the polders are here, it's not too late to build the city.

Building a city is not new in the present day. Not only the newly feuded princes. The old princes and kings tore the earth for their heirs, and when the heirs arrived in the fiefdoms, they also built more cities. Even if the army is outside, it will also choose a place to build a city and a wall. Used for holding. For example, it is common to build cottage water barricades in critical places.

The only difference is that many of the cities that have no value will be demolished and abandoned. But the corresponding place name was left. For example, Liu Bei's Lucheng, Yicheng where horse thieves hid, Linxiang City that was removed by the imperial court, and so on.

The new city built by Liu Bei is of great use. The barbarian tribe of Dabie Mountain in Lujiang moved north. There are also the families and clansmen of the recruited Huaisi elite soldiers, the neighbors on the left and right, and even the nine clans gathered to come to Lousang. It is estimated that there are no less than 100,000 people from Huaisi.

And half of the barbarians.

The Qingji refugees stranded in Youzhou also came to vote. Liu Bei naturally wanted to take it in.

Fortunately, it has matured year after year, and the people in the city have a lot of grain. Liu Bei also entrusted Liaodong Tian Shao, Cangwu Shiyi, Anping Cui Jun, and the three families sold rice and grain to Lousang. In case of food shortage.

Do not be careful, and be prepared.

The so-called "preparedness" means to take precautions in advance to prepare for the unexpected.

The old patriarch changed the name of Liu Sandun with 'preparation', which really has a deep meaning.

Liu Bei acted in front everywhere to be prepared. It also corresponds to his name.

Linxiang Hou is also Hou. Liu Bei's age is not as good as the crown. So the honorific title of the young prince will not change. Lou Sangyi is really prosperous. The Linxiang Marquis who promised to 'act cheaply' is a real young hero. Not only is it young that everything is widely spread. Even the experience of quelling the turmoil in the south has gradually become well-known.

Defeat the enemy with fire, and kill the thief. Recruit troops to fight thieves, and punish evil. The Northland knows it all. And the sentence: "How is my family treating you?" ”

This is the posture of the hero.

Concealment is a small matter, but a rebellion is a big matter. Therefore, he broke through the dock fort, and did not ask about the acres of land of the slaves, but only asked why he rebelled.

Holding the Han family's rice, he also smashed the Han family's bowl. This is a national thief. Who do you kill if you don't kill you?

This question alone will block everyone's mouths. There is no word in the court.

Except for the copper money spent on recruitment, all the confiscated income was sealed. Even the armor and equipment taken from the Jiujiang arsenal were also returned. Only the recruited young men and their families were taken away. "There is a degree of advance and retreat, and there is a situation on the left and right". is so upright, can you be the hero?

The court will not be left alone for the time being. The young prince is in Zhuo County, and everyone has long known it.

Liu Bei, who was studying how to design a rice transplanter in the study, was called downstairs by Gongsun.

Ground floor lobby. Mother and two stepmothers, sitting side by side. The gorgeous clothes on his body were all given by the emperor when he entered the marquis. The mother changed her hands and divided it with two stepmothers. The two stepmothers were using the incense burner to dry Liu Bei's clothes. The musician next to him tapped the chime, and Yale was quiet.

Liu Bei entered the church to meet his mother, his stepmother.

The two stepmothers were kind-eyed and regarded them as their own.

After Liu Bei sat down, his mother spoke: There are many maidservants, musicians, dancing girls, and doctors in the family. The Gongsun clan is in charge of internal and external, and it is quite hard. For the mother, I want to raise a family order and take care of family affairs.

Liu Bei's worship of Xia Fu as a family order was only known to his teacher and several great Confucians. The government didn't know. It is also reasonable for the mother to want to recruit a family order.

The family can be divided into Geng Yong and Cui Jun, and the family order can also be divided. Liu Bei then said: Is there a suitable candidate for my mother?

The mother smiled and said: Gongsun recommends one person. You know this person, too. It is the lord of the White Lake Water Pavilion and the Sinking Moon Pavilion, and the scholars are different.

Liu Bei couldn't help but be stunned: Shiyi is the daughter of a big family, how can he be the commander of the Hou Mansion?

Mother nodded slightly: So let you ask her if she would like to.

I see. Liu Bei nodded: Okay. I'll ask.

Say goodbye to your mother and stepmother. Liu Bei left the house and rushed to the White Lake Water Pavilion.

Nowadays, there are many female officers.

Female officials in the Han Dynasty can be divided into palace concubines, palace officials, etc. Needless to say, the palace concubine is self-explanatory. The palace officials include: female scholars, female imperial chiefs, female histories, female attendants, female horsemen, etc. In addition, there are also nobles from the gardens, female teachers, female doctors, witches, etc. The female official system of the Han Dynasty was complete and had many tastes, which echoed the official system at that time.

Hou Fuyi is the same as the court.

The mother said that she wanted to recruit a female family order. But it is also in line with regulations.

It's just that, why is it strange?

And it is recommended by Gongsun. Liu Bei was puzzled. However, the mother's order cannot be violated. So he hurried to the White Lake Water Pavilion to ask Shiyi.

When I lifted the curtain, I saw that Wu Lian was also there. Dressing up in the mirror.

Liu Bei didn't know that she already had long hair in a shawl.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wu Lian gently turned the bronze mirror, and saw that it was Liu Bei who was suddenly overjoyed. There was a faint panic.

Although the movement is small, how can it be concealed.

Then he smiled and asked, "Who is coming?"

Liu Bei bowed: It is the little brother.
