Although Xu Ting can be regarded as a new force with a bright future as a member of Zhang Jiashi's relatives system, in Xu Ting's heart, he does not want to rely on the relationship between his sister Xu Mozhi and Zhang Jiashi, and the official road is prosperous along the way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, after the Great Qin Empire officially included Hanoi County as its sphere of influence again, Xu Ting vaguely proposed to Zhang Jiashi that he needed more experience through Wang Yuan, who led the army to support.

Due to some considerations, Zhang Jiashi did not transfer Xu Ting to the Central Army system, but let him join the Liaodong Army under Su Jiao as a 500 master.

Strictly speaking, this arrangement can be regarded as meeting this requirement of Xu Ting. As for this "relative" he has not met, Xu Ting's feelings for Zhang Jiashi are more from the letters written by Xu Moying to their family members and rumors from outside.

He was also a little jealous in his heart, Zhang Jiashi's luck was indeed very good. But he himself knows one thing, that is, such a situation is unavoidable.

Each person has his own experience, which is difficult for others to imitate. After all, luck and fate are not something that can be mastered by one person.

If Zhang Jiashi hadn't met Her Royal Highness the princess of the Qiao family, then the current Great Qin Empire would probably no longer exist. For Xu Ting, this is really an idea that makes him very embarrassed.

But neither Xu Ting nor other people who could feel the fundamental impact that Zhang Jiashi had had on them or even on the country did not expect that their occasional flash of inspiration happened to be in line with the original historical trajectory.

Sometimes, the presence of a man may actually pry a moving wagon on a different path.

And Xu Ting was not dissatisfied with being a garrison officer in the border area, on the contrary, it was just as he hoped that he could learn more at the border. He then grew into a passing officer.

In the past few years, Xu Ting has also commanded a mission to escort supplies into the Donghu-controlled area.

But compared to Su Lan's situation, Xu Ting's luck was not bad, because in that escort mission, there was no attack by the Huns.

In the following period, he was transferred to the garrison commander of the Great Wall exit north of Dingxiang City, and Xu Ting did not receive this kind of escort task again.

For such a case. Xu Ting was also a little helpless in his heart, because in such a situation. He wanted to see the real battlefield, which was obviously impossible.

Although Xu Ting also fought several times against the rebels who attacked Wencheng County. But Xu Ting himself could think of it, that is, these battles really couldn't be used as a real battle to let him learn more.

For other generals of the Great Qin Empire who were about the same age as him, or even younger, Xu Ting's heart was very envious.

It was not that he did not think of proposing to Su Jiao at the right time, hoping to be transferred to the inland county soldier system, but out of his inner thoughts, that is, Xu Ting, who had a big war or even a war between the Great Qin Empire and the nomads in the north, finally gave up his idea.

For Xu Ting. Maybe the war in the mainland is indeed not lacking as an environment for real battles, but as a border commander, in general, Xu Ting has also learned a lot in the past few years. He believes that the experience of these years will be useful in due time.

As a garrison officer in a dangerous area, Xu Ting learned a lot about the nomads during the two years of garrisoning at the exit point.

On the military side, Xu Ting found that his understanding of defensive operations already had a not shallow foundation.

Therefore, in this battle, this also became one of the reasons why Su Jiao transferred Xu Ting to his command.

Of course, Su Jiao would not say that although he also liked Xu Ting's steady style that had gradually grown up over the years. It can also be regarded as burying a back road for himself.

After all, for Su Jiao, Xu Ting's identity is indeed a bit special, if Xu Ting is promoted because of his good military exploits, then it can be regarded as a good shelter for Su Jiao's family.

Although Su Jiao himself has always been relatively weak in this regard. But as a father and grandfather, Su Jiao now has to seek more security for his offspring.

Therefore, Xu Ting, as the rising star of Zhang Jiashi's relatives group that Su Jiao thinks is necessary to befriend, Su Jiao is naturally not stingy with his overtures.

In the war situation has developed to this point. The movement of Xu Ting's infantry units is not only in line with the development of the battlefield trend, but also allows Xu Ting to make some credit.

Of course, there are still some risks in doing this, but Su Jiao didn't think that Xu Ting would capsize in the gutter under such a situation, so he was very relieved to let Xu Ting lead the army to support the knight troops in the extermination of the Huns.

......

The infantry unit of the Qin army under Xu Ting was not the heavy infantry of the Great Qin Empire, but a light infantry unit that used paper armor.

The defensive ability of this paper armor cannot be compared with the Qin army's iron armor, but it is not too bad, and some leather armor made of cowhide is really difficult to close this paper armor made of multiple layers of paper.

There are many differences between this kind of paper armor and the paper armor of later generations, but compared with the composite leather paper armor of later generations, this kind of paper armor is basically produced by the addition of soft paper, which has a relative advantage in weight, and on the other hand, it has the advantage of being much lighter than the weight of other mainstream armor.

In fact, if it weren't for this kind of plan that would also effectively consume a lot of piled up of paper.

Moreover, the cost of paper armor is relatively low, and it is relatively easy to produce, so this situation is highly valued by Zhang Jiashi.

Although it is said that the armor of most of the county soldiers of the Great Qin Empire is varied, for many considerations, Zhang Jiashi plans to further revise the equipment matching plan of these county soldiers at the appropriate time.

That is, except for a small number of elite county troops, most of the county troops will be mainly equipped with paper armor.

Of course, paper armor also has a great impact on the environment. At that time, Zhang Jiashi mainly preferred to use recycled waste paper as the raw material for the production of this paper armor.

The corresponding description of paper armor is as follows:

Paper armor is armor made of paper and cloth (silk, kapok). It is mainly used for infantry in southern China, and because of its light body, it is also used by warships and sailors.

The upper body and lower body (over the knee) of the paper armor are the main protective parts, and the length is set in consideration of the swamps and paddy fields in the south.

The surface of the paper armor is made of silk cloth or paper. In order to defend against the damage of arrows and birds, use 3-inch thick paper and hanging wraps to increase protection.

Wearing paper armor gives people a sense of security, and can even produce a peculiar spiritual effect. Paper armor is effective against long-range marks, even flintlock pistols. The slash defense against swords is not inferior to iron armor, but it is not as durable as iron armor.

The surface of the paper armor is made of cloth or paper to defend against arrows and birds. Use a three-centimeter-thick paper and hanging wrap to increase protection.

Under these descriptions: Under the same thickness, the defense of paper armor is worse than that of iron armor, but in terms of weight, it has a great advantage.

A pair of iron armor and paper armor with similar defense to iron armor, the weight of the paper armor is obviously much lighter than the iron armor.

Therefore, during such a period of time, Zhang Jiashi's arrangement in the army was based on the garrison troops of the Great Wall, and these paper armors were installed in batches.

These paper armors can be made in the shape of a piece of armor after going through a process similar to that of the armor. Held in place by ropes.

The armor of this paper armor is relatively easy to replace, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, on the whole, the armor of this armor is connected in series, which weakens the overall defense efficiency of the paper armor.

Because the paper armor of later generations can have corresponding defense capabilities, it is more because this paper armor is a fish scale armor system.

In such a case. Zhang Jiashi was also very depressed in his heart, because although this kind of paper armor is easy to maintain, even the production cost is reduced a lot.

But it cannot be denied that this kind of paper armor, that is, against the inferior arrows of the Huns, has a relatively good effect.

In the Qingyu Lingshu, there are many explanations of ancient Chinese armor.

During the Warring States period, armor was mainly made of leather. But there is also an iron armor, to the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, the iron armor has occupied a major position, and from the analysis of the armor data of the terracotta warriors and horses pit and the stone armor burial pit of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, the iron armor of the Qin Dynasty has occupied a considerable proportion, but it is still mainly cortex, which is just in the transition stage of the development and transformation of armor materials from the Warring States period to the Han Dynasty. The texture of the armor changes from leather to iron. The main reason is that the offensive weapons from the Warring States period to the Han Dynasty changed from bronze to sharper iron weapons, forcing the armor as a protective weapon to gradually change from leather to iron. Conversely, the change in the texture of the armor also confirms the transformation of offensive weapons from blunt bronze weapons to sharp iron weapons during this period.

Due to the increasingly important role of armor in the war, countries attach great importance to the production of armor, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the official Xiu of the State of Qi "Zhou Li, Examination of Gongji, Hanren" describes in detail the complex procedures and processes of making leather armor, as well as the shape, size, structure and proportion of each part of the armor, fully reflecting the great importance attached to the armor by the State of Qi and even other vassal states. In the Qin State, due to the successive annexation wars, by the time of the first emperor of Qin Zhao, the importance of armor was clearly raised to the level of national law for the first time.

(The content of "Zhou Li, Qiaogong Ji, Hanren": The letter is A, the rhinoceros is seven genera, the six genera are Jiajia, and the five genera are Hejia.) The rhinoceros has a lifespan of 100 years, the life of a carapace is 200 years, and the life span of a family is 300 years. Whatever is a must be accommodated first, and then tanned. The right to travel on it and its lower brigade, and the weight is as one, and it is surrounded by its length. Where the armor is not forged, it is not strong, and it is not strong. Where the way of cha Ge, look at its hollowness, want its abundance, look at its inside, want its easy, look at it, want it straight, want it to be covenant, raise it, want it to be abundant, and want it to be unrestrained. If you drill into the void and be scared, you will be strong, and if you are easy to do it, you will be more material, and if you are straight, you will be good. If you make an appointment, you will be weekly, you will be abundant, you will be bright, and if you have no clothes, you will change. ）

The content of the Qin law in the "Yunmen Qin Jian" has a description of this: the punishment standard for those who violated the national laws and regulations at that time, the most common type of punishment is called "赀", that is, the violator of the law pays a prescribed amount of money or goods to atone for his sins. The most common punishment methods in the punishment are "one hundred first" and "one shield".

Literally, it seems that the offender directly paid for the crime by paying for the armor or shield and other physical goods, but by analyzing the historical background of the Qin state, the production process and quality requirements of the armor, and the physical armor found in archaeological data, it can be seen that this is not the case.

However, judging from the confiscation of civilian weapons after the unification of the Great Qin Empire, it is very likely that this punishment was to exchange one's labor ability for money with armor and corresponding punishments. Because in the Qin law, there is also a minimum wage for the work of a prisoner.

In other words, those who have violated the corresponding decree can still be repaid by the corresponding labor, even if they do not have a large amount of money to pay for this expenditure.

The increasing maturity and perfection of the armor of the Qin Dynasty is by no means accidental, but has many reasons. On the one hand, the wars between countries at that time improved the production process and quality of the armor; on the other hand, from the perspective of the development stage of the armor itself, after the end of the primitive society and the long development of the Qin Dynasty for more than 2,000 years, the production process of leather armor has been quite perfect, compared with the gradual reduction of leather armor in the Han Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty can be called the highest stage of the development of leather armor; at the same time, the new type of armor of iron armor has also developed. Therefore, the Qin Dynasty was a period of coexistence and development of armor of two textures, and it was also a key period in the history of the development of ancient Chinese armor.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi thought that although the armor system of Zajia had many shortcomings, for many reasons, Zhang Jiashi finally continued to mainly continue the production method of this armor, supplemented by the improvement of materials to continue to be the main equipment of the troops.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Although the defensive ability of these paper armors is still a certain gap with the iron armor, because the production process of this paper armor is not as good as that of later generations.

But the light paper armor saved a lot of the physical strength of the Qin army's infantry.

Such a situation can be seen from the speed at which Xu Ting led the army to the battlefield two thousand meters away, and the officers and soldiers under his command still maintained a certain amount of physical strength.

And Xu Ting knew very well that this battle could also be said to be an opportunity given to him by Su Jiao. Xu Ting, who naturally knew what he should do, roared loudly after taking a deep breath: "Everyone marches forward in a team!!" (To be continued.
