At present, the standard armor of soldiers is chain mail and helmets, and leather armor is put under the robe.

If the chain mail is a long-sleeved robe, then this is already a high match at the moment.

Xu Siling has been wearing a chain mail robe for a long time, and the biggest feeling is that the chain mail itself is not heavy, but because it is too soft and has no support points, the wearing feeling behind the upper body is a little poor, and it is very uncomfortable to press on the shoulder.

And this discomfort is even more vividly reflected in the long-sleeved robe chain mail.

It is estimated that the short-sleeved short-sleeved short-sleeved chain mail worn by the Frophon soldiers did not feel so uncomfortable.

Although the protection is relatively comprehensive, especially the chain mail robe does not affect the movement of the joints, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in general.

Advantages: Close to the body, easy to wear under clothes, good concealment, does not affect the range of body motion.

The disadvantage is that the defensive ability is not proportional to its weight, although in essence, chain mail is not too heavy compared to other armor.

But in terms of the protection brought by this weight, it is not particularly good, because it is a soft structure that cannot offset the impact force, so it can only ensure that your body is relatively intact when you die.

As for the plate armor.

The ultimate defense, the advantage is there, and the weight or anything is thrown away first.

Because there is no plate armor in the exact sense of the word in Europe today.

The wealthier knights and nobles all made a plate chain mail on their chests on the basis of chain mail robes.

To put it simply, I made a curved steel plate and hung it in front of my chest.

The armor that Milan is getting now is not based on the concept of plate armor.

It is more based on chain mail, adding various protective measures.

For example, steel shoulder pads, Milanese gloves, wall guards, and so on.

The concept of plate armor is then created after the pieces of armor and so on are stacked on top of each other.

At present, there is no plate armor in Europe, and even the concept of plate armor is not yet, Xu Siling has considered making plate armor, but he just thinks about it.

It's not that there is no technology, but technology is not the most important.

The important thing is that there is no money.

After researching plate armor, how many sets of plate armor can he make?

The ultimate defense is true, and it is the perfect solution to use it against the shots of the English longbow.

But this solution is unrealistic for Xu Siling.

According to the armor and weapons of the Flofen soldiers, a set of 20 gold coins upwards.

The actual standard armor equipment of the Soldier can range from 40 to 55 gold coins.

The Frophon soldiers had taken out everything they could, and the ten-man equipment they had only taken out, not counting Fei'er's chain mail funding.

In particular, the inside of the plate armor must be equipped with chain mail as a base, and the price of the cost of a body is something Xu Siling dare not think.

Therefore, the reason why Xu Siling did not dare to make plate armor was not a technical problem, it was simply that there was no money, even if MSG made money, it was not so hockey.

Maybe one day he will raid the homes of a few nobles and make a fortune, and he will consider having a large sum of money, but at least not now.

When it comes to armor to defend against long-range projectiles, in Xu Siling's mind, it is undoubtedly fish scale armor.

Whether there is a Zajia in Europe at present, Xu Siling doesn't understand, and he doesn't know either, at least he hasn't seen anyone pass through it.

Scales are a great advantage against ranged weapons, making it a great choice to defend against the English Longbow.

What's more, the price of the armor is not high, and it can be said that the price difference between the two sides is very large compared to the plate armor.

The craftsmanship of the armor has never been difficult, and even if it is taught by a blacksmith, it is extremely simple.

The essential difference between ordinary armor and fish scale armor is the difference between a ten-hole armor and a four-hole armor.

The normal and ordinary armor uses ten-hole armor pieces, first using a stacking method, a rope to fold the armor pieces into a row, and then stacking the armor pieces in a row, and then stacking the armor pieces in the way of stacking them down.

The hard armor is usually divided into hard and soft armor, the hard armor means that the armor cannot move flexibly, most of them are hard when they are used as cuirass, and the soft armor is more flexible and relaxed, and most of them are used on shoulder and arm armor.

However, ordinary armor does not have such good defense against long-range weapons.

That's why there is the latter fish scale armor.

The fish scale armor uses a four-hole armor, which is different from the stacking method, it is more like the stacking method of fish scales, so it is called the fish scale armor.

And unlike the ordinary armor stacking method, the ordinary armor is stacked on top of the bottom, and the fish scale armor is the upper armor piece on top of the bottom armor.

Because of this, the reason why the Fish Scale Armor is the most suitable to defend against long-range shots is here.

By neatly arranging these four-hole armor pieces, it can largely counteract foreign fire attacks.

But it's not just about the scales.

The disadvantages are also straightforward, although there are not many disadvantages of the Fish Scale Armor.

It is difficult to lose weight in the armor, and weight has always been an unavoidable problem for the armor.

With the same weight of plate armor and fish scale armor, there is definitely no brainer to choose the former.

Among them, the anti-repetitive attack resistance of the fish scale armor is weak, and the armor is easy to destroy under several heavy blows, and the defense efficiency is low.

In particular, in the face of stabbing attacks from the bottom up, the fish scale armor is difficult to resist.

Because the Fish Scale Armor adopts the pattern of stacking the armor pieces on top of each other, when the armor pieces are stacked together, a circular amplitude will protrude, and the lower part between the gaps between the armor pieces is the weak point of defense.

If you have the knowledge, look for an opportunity to stab from the bottom up, and you can bypass the defenses of the fish scale armor and stab the enemy directly.

The shortcomings are here, but Xu Siling thinks that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

The process of fish scale armor is simple, the armor piece is broken and easy to repair, directly remove the bad armor piece and replace it with a new one, and the defense is decent in all aspects, especially the arrow prevention is first-class.

In terms of cost price, it is not as expensive as plate armor, and Xu Siling can barely afford it.

Of course, Xu Siling is not ready to make an integrated fish scale armor, because the fish scale armor is inconvenient to move.

If you want to do it, you must make a split armor.

The shoulders, arms and legs must be covered with ordinary armor, with ten-hole armor plates stacked on top for flexibility and ease, and the chest must be stacked with fish scale armor to resist shots and some impact protection.

It may seem like it's difficult, but it's actually really simple.

It is to make two identical nail pieces, one with ten holes and one with four holes, and the bending amplitude of the four holes is good.

Xu Siling can even draw the drawings of the armor, and any blacksmith can make it.

The rest is the handiwork of tying the nail pieces together with a rope, which is simpler, and everyone will be able to teach it casually.

After Xu Siling prepared the drawings, he was going to find a blacksmith tomorrow and arrange for him to make a set of armor pieces, try how the effect was, and calculate the cost by the way.

When he was done, Ella and Falina returned at about the same time.

As the hostess, Ella took the servants out to purchase, and also purchased a lot of MSG raw materials, and the procurement of formula materials for MSG was handed over to Ella to do, which was indeed reassuring.

And Falina also brings good news.

There are not many executioner families around, after all, Xu Siling has monopolized the business of all the territories around Raya Town before Xu Siling.

But a little farther away, there are quite a few families of executioners.

Jocasta is willing to arrange for his witch friends to travel to these places by walking through the mountains and forests to try to contact these executioner families, believing that news will be available for some time.

Of course, Jocasta also has her own thoughts, and she also arranges for other witch friends to meet other colleagues on the road to the mountains and forests, so that she can attract them back to the hillside manor to live together.

I don't know when it began, the executioner and the witch of the hillside manor had a delicate struggle.

There was no direct conflict between the two sides.

But both sides are doing things for Xu Siling, on the one hand, they are paying for money, and they are contributing, and on the other hand, they are specifically responsible for collecting medicinal herbs for Raya Town.

In terms of credit, Frophon looked down on witches, and felt that witches did not do much, and the credit was not as great as theirs.

Before, the witch group had no backbone, but now Jocasta has moved in, she is Farina's aunt, and Farina and Xu Siling have such a relationship, and Jocasta immediately became the leader of the witches in the manor.

The power of witches in the manor is slightly weaker, and after learning that Xu Siling wants to recruit a new executioner family, Jocasta also wants to win over more witches, and does not ask for others, at least not to be bullied.

In particular, this also concerns the support forces behind Farina

Ella's status is difficult for Farina to shake.

In Jocasta's eyes, it is because Ella has the Frophon family behind her.

The Florfin family paid so much for Xu Siling, why was Xu Siling embarrassed to change his wife?

And Falina has nothing, except for her aunt.

Jocasta thinks he's pretty good, but no matter how good he is, he can't really take off on a broomstick.

So it's good to win over more witches and give your good niece a little confidence.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

After reassuring the hearts of the people of Tamuburg and arranging the manpower, Phil also returned to Raya Town with his troops.

When she returned, her face was tired, and she was obviously not lightly tired, and the condition of Tamubao was even worse than she had imagined.

Because there was no church and no priest in Tamubao, the spirit and mind of the people were in turmoil.

Coupled with the condition of the patients, there are already many patients who are dying and cannot be saved.

The population has plummeted, and the people are panicked and devastated.

Compared to the town of Raya, this is simply a day and a place.

Faced with the Black Death, the town of Raya asked the people to stop production and stay at home.

Tamubao was forced to stop production.

Because you want the current Tamubao to resume daily production work, it can't work at all.

It's pretty much a mess.

The matter of taking over Tamubao also deepened Fei'er's thoughts about Xu Siling.

She thought that if Xu Siling was not here, Raya Town would end up with Tamubao, and it would be on the verge of shattering at any time.

For Xu Siling's heart, his gratitude couldn't help but deepen again.

Fortunately, the population of Tamubao is small, and the relationship is not big.

Because there are so many people in Raya Town, it will almost be impossible to fit any more.

During the Black Death, not many people died in Raya Town, and the population remained high.

And then continued to accept outsiders, resulting in the population of Raya Town has been rising.

At first, Fei'er struggled with how to solve this problem, whether to expand the area outward to accommodate these outsiders.

Now there is no need to think about this problem, just move some outsiders to Tamubao directly.

Tamu Fort has died of many diseases, and it is believed that in less than a month, Tamu Fort will become an empty city.

So Tamufort can now hold quite a few people.

Phil, who returned to Raya Town, did not rest, but began to write letters.

Listen to Xu Siling's words, one to the Holy See, and one to King Philip VI.

Incidentally to Philip VI was the tax owed by the town of Raya for a year and a half.

The property copied from the Hamis family in Tamuburg, together with Jewish money, made up for the shortfall.

Although it was far from enough, the town of Koraya itself still had some reserves, and Fei'er was not ready to use them.

Because Xu Siling arranged for someone to send three boxes of MSG over, let Fei'er use it to offset the tax, and by the way, he also told her about the recent sales of MSG.

When Fei'er heard that Xu Siling had earned hundreds of gold coins, her saliva was about to fall.

However, the sales of monosodium glutamate during this period have been greatly reduced.

The reason is also very simple, the nobles who know MSG have bought everything they can buy, and there must be no shortage of MSG at present, and the commoners who know MSG can't afford it.

After Fei'er learned about this situation, she accelerated the tax count, and immediately sent the king's letter and the three boxes of MSG.

She had to help Xu Siling open up the sales of MSG.

And Xu Siling is not in a hurry at all, food is irresistible.

Don't look at the current aristocracy not to purchase MSG, that's because the magic of MSG has not yet begun to exert its capabilities.

When these nobles get used to eating MSG, and then when they finish eating MSG, and then let them go back to eat their usual food, they will only feel tasteless, and they can't stand it.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Then will be the moment when MSG sales explode.

It didn't take much time for Phil to write the letter, but it took a day to count the taxes, and the letter was sent out with the taxes the day after tomorrow.

Normally, the tax is collected by someone arranged by the king.

It's just that during the Black Death, Philip VI was not stupid, and he couldn't collect the money at all by arranging the collection team to go out, so he didn't bother to arrange it.

A year and a half of taxes is a lot of money, Fei'er can't rest assured, and arranges for An Li to lead thirty cavalry escorts.

An Li didn't want to leave Fei'er's side, but there were not many people who could use Fei'er.

I finally replenished the manpower that could be used, and arranged to go to Tamu Fort.

After the thing was done, Fei'er relaxed.

Raya Town is on track now, and her condition is getting better and better, and there is nothing for her to worry about.

On the contrary, the only thing that worried her was the old priest Endritte, who had not yet returned from the Holy See.

She was looking forward to the news that Endritte had brought back.

If the Holy See really acknowledges that God's revelation is true, it will be like the whole Kingdom of France proving that God's miracles came to the town of Raya.

And she, Phil Raya, became a saint.

At that time, she was the first step to achieve the plan she made with Xu Siling.

Get the identity of a saint, don't look at her title is not high, and her territory is not big.

But she can directly gain the right to speak in the kingdom, and no one in the kingdom dares to underestimate her.

You must know that in this situation, even Fei'er's father and family ancestors could not do it.

And the next day the letter was delivered.

Xu Siling and the blacksmith of Raya Town customized two kinds of armor pieces have also been made. (End of chapter)
