Luo Yunniang's house is behind, and now the six houses are neatly tied, two are occupied, and the other houses are used as warehouses.

Zhang Huan came here this day, Fang Shan and the others stood aside,

"You're going to make such a big deal from today,"

Zhang Huan's words made Fang Shan stunned, what a big deal, although the things they did were very miscellaneous, but they really hadn't done clothes or anything, it was all a mother-in-law's business.

"Childe, I won't wait for ready-to-wear clothes,"

Fang Shan said worriedly, the first object that the owner gave him to make said no, is it evil to the son, but he is just a blacksmith, and he can be regarded as a handyman, not a garment maker.

Zhang Huan laughed, this is all a misunderstanding, he took out a few pages, and first drew a piece of clothing, which looked like a coat in later generations, not a side placket, but a pair of skimming in the middle, but some small dots were painted on the clothes, and the upper end of the clothes was a helmet.

Fang Shan was completely confused after reading it, what kind of object is this, say it is armor, this helmet has no modification, it is an ugly iron helmet, it can be regarded as an armor helmet.

But how come there are no nail leaves on the whole body, not like Wenshan armor, chain mail, not a large cuirass and some side armpits and armor composed of step armor and Mingguang armor, in addition to those small dots, if there is no armor leaf and breastplate, how to resist the killing of weapons.

If it wasn't armor, what was the helmet for, Fang Shan was already confused after reading it, and some other craftsmen were also at a loss and didn't know what it was, Fang Shan only hated himself for seeing too little, what kind of object was this.

Zhang Huan looked at everyone's ignorant expressions with some vicious interest, well, sometimes it is really cool to be a prophet.

"I asked it to be a protective garment, and this is how it works,"

Shenma armor is actually the cotton armor that was popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations.

In fact, there are many kinds of cotton armor, including pure cotton armor and hybrid cotton armor, and the protection power varies greatly.

The protection of pure cotton armor is very poor, but it is very light, which is the advantage, depending on where it is used.

The hybrid cotton armor is a combination of cotton and iron sheet or barbed wire, and her protection is really no worse than ordinary chain mail and Wenshan beetle.

Although it is to make armor, Zhang Huan will never say that armor is, in the Northern Song Dynasty or any feudal dynasty armor is forbidden to be owned by private individuals, don't look at it is not an offensive weapon, but its power is still too terrifying.

If there is armor, you can go forward with a bow and a sword, its protective power is too strong, if someone makes a mess wearing good armor with a vote of people can attack the government and military camps, kidnap officials and generals, and control a city and a government, and when the court sends troops to crusade, the rebel army may have become bigger, so this object is too terrifying weapon, and it is strictly forbidden for the people to have it.

The Northern Song Dynasty allowed people along the border to carry swords, guns, bows and crossbows to protect themselves, after all, the threat of the Qiang rangers was too great, and it was too unsafe if they did not carry weapons, and the imperial court also counted on these border people to use weapons to kill and injure the Western thieves and Qiang people.

But armor will definitely not be among this, even the Tang, Ming, and Qing dynasties also strictly prohibit military armor, so this is armor Zhang Huan will not say, but Zhang Huan needs protective armor, no armor in this battlefield to protect the body as helpless as a weak lamb.

Zhang Huan is bullying other people who don't know anything, yes, this thing is nondescript at first glance, a bit like armor, and then you don't feel calm when you take a closer look, this thing is made of cotton, according to the imagination of ordinary people, can this protect the body, arrows, knives and guns can be penetrated as soon as they are worn, and what kind of armor is Dongdong that can't protect the body, so the people in the government also laughed after seeing it.

But that's just imagination, the real situation is that this thing can really protect against arrows, swords, and even musket projectiles can be protected, if there is any weakness, it is that it strikes heavy objects such as maces, big guns, heavy hammers and other heavy weapons The strike protection is much worse than the first-class heavy armor step armor of the Great Song Dynasty, and this weakness is similar to chain mail.

But if you can effectively avoid the opponent's heavy weapon attacks, such as lining up the spear formation, using an extra-long spear so that the enemy can not easily fight tightly, and can only attack with a bow and spear from a distance, then this weakness will be weakened as much as possible.

The cost and time comparison of cotton armor and chain mail, Wenshan armor, step armor, and Mingguang armor are more dominant.

Chain mail and Wenshan armor of the iron ring, the armor is slowly created by the craftsman by hand, a person to make this armor how to take two or three months of man-hours, and then sew these armor pieces together, the cost of how to get up and down thirty times, and the step armor consumes longer man-hours, especially in order to prevent the nail piece from rusting and polishing, the final cost is about forty times, if the senior general's Mingguang armor is not fifty or sixty times, three or four months is not to think about it.

As for the cotton armor, you only need to beat seven or eight catties of cotton, press it into pieces repeatedly, and then sew it with thread, and finally sew it together in pieces, sandwich iron sheets or barbed wire in the middle, and fix the iron sheets and iron nets with copper nails.

This is no longer a simple cotton armor, but a hybrid armor of cotton and iron.

When an arrow or projectile hits a cotton armor, it first encounters the resistance of a solid cotton sheet, then encounters a piece of iron that is not too thick, and finally encounters a cotton sheet again.

So its protection is quite strong, and the only weakness is the blow of heavy objects such as maces.

Since it is a cotton and iron mixed armor, the weight is not too light, more than 30 catties, which is one-third heavier than chain mail.

But the protection is much better, and it is very good to maintain, if it is dirty, brush it with a brush, and dry it all together, and the anti-corrosion of iron armor is always a problem.

Although it is said that due to the so-called Jibei Teng expensive, the cotton armor that may be made will be more than 20 times, but in the future, if the cotton is introduced here, the cost will be greatly reduced, and it is estimated that it can be won up and down by 10 times.

The most important thing is that the manufacturing time of this cotton armor is too fast, to put it bluntly, it is mainly sewn, and sewing is the most time-consuming and laborious, and it is the most labor-saving to build helmets and thin iron sheets, and there is no need to build a nail leaf as time-consuming and labor-intensive.

In this way, a person is a set of armor in three or five days, and if he is proficient, he must be a set in three days.

Zhang Huan explained the pattern, and Fang Shan and the others suddenly realized, oh, no, it's just a heavy coat and a helmet, and it doesn't seem unusual to say that it is clothing.

It's just that this thing can block bows, arrows, knives and guns, Fang Shan was speechless, it wouldn't be that Gongzi came up with it randomly, but since Zhang Huan had spoken, he was still interested in drawing out the pattern, what else could he say, then let's make it,

"Childe, then I'll try a few things later,

This time, Fang Shan didn't mention any sewing clothes, in fact, everyone knows how to do small needlework, and it is not aggrieved to work outside, but the work is really not beautiful, but this is a simple rough job, and it doesn't matter if the stitches are not beautiful.

"Okay, remember that the gibeel slices must be solid, if not, you can soak them and dry them." ’

Zhang Huan commanded.

Fang Shan hurriedly remembered that he really hadn't fiddled with this Jibei's object, so as soon as Zhang Huan said it, he had to quickly write it down, and he would be at a loss when the time came.

"I've already asked people to buy the iron, copper, and cloth I need, and I'll send them here in a while, and I'm waiting for your good news,"

Zhang Huan admonished, and Fang Shan should go down one by one.
