Volume 1 Chapter 787 Military Uniform

Early the next morning, when the sky was bright, Zhou Bi ordered more than 500 people and set off with Tu San.

Xu He was not affected by last night's incident, and was learning to ride and shoot with Li Manzhu in the school field at this time.

To tell the truth, the Jurchens are a fishing and hunting people, and their skills in kung fu and archery are extraordinary, and these people are especially good at giving their prey a fatal blow in a complex environment.

Xu He felt that since he was training now, he couldn't just be a scholar and stay in the tent every day to deal with official documents.

Those things will naturally be handled by secretaries, staff, and officials in the future, and good generals still have to follow their teams to get closer and closer.

He is not very old, and he learns things quickly, and under Li Manzhu's teaching, although he can't do those tricks of riding and archery, he can't do those tricks of hiding in the foot and shooting arrows with a bow on his back, but almost all of the targets of a hundred steps are hit when he stands on the ground.

Riding a horse, a fixed target of fifty steps can also hit seven or eight out of ten.

At such a level, let alone civil officials, even many generals in the Great Wei Dynasty who have been in peace for a long time are inferior to Xu He.

After practicing for a full hour, Xu He was sweating, and after returning to the tent to scrub a little, he received people from the Ministry of Works.

This time, the Ministry of Industry first explained the matter of the Minfu last night, and secondly, it was invited by Xu He to discuss the matter of military uniforms.

According to the rules, the ordinary soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty had cotton armor at most, and key positions were inlaid with copper sheets to protect them, such as their chests.

Most of the guards are actually wearing clothes that have been repeatedly sewn with several layers of fabric, protective, yes, but there are really not many.

Xu He's visit this time is definitely the biggest change since the crossing.

Abandon the traditional armor, but customize a large number of close-fitting cotton armor to the Ministry of Industry, and uniformly distribute woolen coats outside!

Tweed is a fabric that is first woven with fine threads, and then washed with treated animal hair to fix the hair on the woven net.

It is then fixed and pressed to form a woolen fabric.

There is a reason why Xu He is working so hard, first of all, he is not a fan of the Third Reich and has no obsession with woolen coats.

The reason why Mao is used is because the weather is getting colder and colder, which leads to the cold weather, the Han people are more cold-tolerant than the various ethnic groups outside the Guan.

If you buy fur in large quantities, first, it is expensive and you can't afford it, and second, it is very bloated to wear.

This makes him like woolen fabric, this fabric has not yet come out, but in fact, the technical means are not complicated, the weaving workshop in Jiangnan has long mastered the washing method, the list is sent down, and then it is just waiting for the businessman to develop, with interests, the wisdom of the businessman will naturally burst out, Xu He believes in the market!

Looking at the style of the military uniform drawn by Shen Lang on the paper, the official of the Ministry of Industry looked strange.

The high tip of the hat, like the wear of the Hu people in the Western Regions, is made of black felt, and the front of the hat needs to be embroidered with the "Wei" logo of the Great Wei, and the side of the hat is decorated with a single pheasant feather.

The woolen coat adopts the style of the trolling type, which is the official uniform of the Inner Court Banquet in the Mengyuan and Yuan dynasties, and the official uniforms of the Inner Court and the Outer Court of the Great Wei Dynasty are also used, and the flying fish suit is one of them.

However, Xu He made the pleated style of the hem directly into a military coat, so that the effect of cold protection and warmth is better, after all, the length of the dress reaches the calf position.

Moreover, the color abandons the traditional colors such as red, blue and green of the bright official uniform, and chooses a gray-green color that is more suitable for the battlefield, which makes it more practical.

This woolen coat has a cross-collar with wooden buckles on the sides and a loop around the waist, which can be used to tie a cowhide belt or hang a medicine cartridge for hanging firearms.

Seeing this, the official of the Ministry of Industry stammered and asked, "Lord Xu, this, this is not in line with the regulations of the imperial court, right?" ”

Xu He said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will play Your Majesty!" You Ministry of Industry only need to take my picture and go to Jiangnan to find a businessman to order! ”

The officials of the Ministry of Industry left with clothes, leather boots, belts and other drawings full of question marks.

As he walked, he wondered that if other people were to lead troops, they would either ask for food, weapons, or silver.

This one is good, and he straightens up some fancy clothes.

How? If you wear good clothes and go into battle, how many more people can you kill?

After he returned to the capital, he publicized it everywhere, and the entire court felt that Xu He was doing nonsense, but there were only about 2,000 people, and he couldn't make big waves.

Anyway, as long as the emperor thinks it's okay, then naturally no one will talk nonsense because of the clothes of these two thousand people.

Of course, some people want to oppose it, such as Shoufu Qin Yan.

But in the past two days, there have been more recitals to impeach him, and the Qin family's father and son are tired of coping, and they have no mind to put their beaks on such trivial matters.

Speaking of which, this time is also unlucky, Qin Yan really wants to kill this stupid son with one sword.

colluded with the King of Qi and sold the official mantle, and entrusted this kind of thing to the leather merchant surnamed Xue, saying that he was the father of the concubine of the Qi Palace.

Shi Yangxuan, the head of the Qi Palace, revealed that this person turned out to be a person from Jinyiwei.

Two fools, his son Qin Que is a fool, and King Qi is also a fool.

Now that the Qin family is being implicated, Qin Yan is more or less disheartened, if it weren't for the fact that many of the arrangements before leaving the court have not been completed, he really wants to hang the crown directly and leave.

The ups and downs of the court, Xu He naturally did not know, in the letter to Emperor Zhizheng, Xu He explained in detail the importance of military uniforms.

Keeping warm is only one of the reasons, but in this era, a team of people and horses wear uniform uniforms, and the sense of honor and belonging of soldiers is not something that can be bought with the money used to purchase military uniforms.

In addition, the letter naturally wants to greet the old man's body.

After writing the letter, he handed it to the eunuchs of the Neicao Army and asked them to bring the letter directly to Lao Zheng, who presented it to the emperor.

Just after all this, someone suddenly reported that there was an official surnamed Chen outside the door who asked to see him.

Xu He looked at Wu Decao, with joy in his eyes: "So fast? Let's go, come out with me to meet Commander Chen! ”

……

Chen Yingzhao, who was standing outside the camp gate, once again felt the solemn atmosphere similar to the gate of the Haiphong camp.

And the station of Long Xiangwei is obviously more neat than the coastal defense battalion.

"I haven't seen it in just a few years, and the schoolchildren who participated in the government examination have now become champions and captains, the key is that Xu He was also personally awarded by the emperor to command the command of the Beijing Guard, and the command of the Yamen is also known. The carp jumps over the dragon gate! ”

Just when Chen Yingzhao sighed, Sun Yan next to him had mixed feelings.

Xu He's previous dealings with Chen Yingzhao were actually operated by him.

I even went to Hefei with the Xu family's coastal defense battalion!

Now that time has passed, the little boy who was very polite in front of him has grown into a big man who randomly transfers him and commands the adults, which has to make him sigh with a little caution.

Just when the two of them sighed, the camp gate suddenly opened, and a long laugh came: "Someone from my hometown is here!" Commander Chen, Sun Yanshi, there is a long way to go! ”
