Chapter 173: Crowned Marquis!
"It was the monarch who asked me to come to you!" said Zong Hu with a smile.
"Monarch, what's the matter, my self-proclaimed desolate lord plus the general of Zhenbei, he is not happy?" Xia Xu sneered!
If the king dares to be displeased, then let him be displeased!
If the monarch dares to offend himself, then I'm sorry to kill you!
The lord is already a feudal official!
All the people of the lord's realm must obey the lord!
Everything in the territory belongs to the lord!
Even if the monarch is the superior of the lord, as long as the lord's strength is strong enough, he can not listen!
What's more, Xia Xu also proclaimed himself the general of Zhenbei!
General, a great minister!
General, the supreme commander of the army!
Beginning in ancient times, it is the highest title of a general, and he is in charge of commanding the army!
In fact, most of them are held by noble relatives, who hold power and hold very high positions.
Put the general, the prime minister.
The general adheres to the national politics inside, and the outside is a special expedition, and his power is far beyond the right of the prime minister.
In ancient times, it was mostly filled by nobles.
There are also those who are crowned with titles above the generals, and the specific titles include General Jianwei, General Hussar, General of the Chinese Army, General Zhendong, General of the Fujun, etc.
In ancient times, the general was originally under the three dukes, and later when Dou Xian became the general, due to the great power, the court was shaken, and the joint concert asked the general to rank above the three dukes.
If you want to give it to Qin, Qin Cheng may not be able to get it, and you will be deceived in vain!
If you don't want to give it, you will suffer from the coming of the Qin soldiers.
The plan has not been decided, and those who ask for someone to report to Qin have not been obtained.
"The general was merciful and refused to give orders. ”
"There is an urgency in the world, and Wang Sun would rather let the evil be?"
It is to worship the infant as a general, and give a thousand catties of gold.
The middle dynasty, the inner dynasty also, the great Sima, the front and rear left and right generals, the servants, the regular attendants, the scattered cavalry, and the officials, are the middle and the court.
The prime minister below to 600 stone is the outer court.
Among them, the Chinese and Korean officials can really be divided into two categories;
Waiting, serving, and scattering officials are another category.
The latter category has been close ministers around the Son of Heaven since the time of Emperor Wu.
The former type of military position has only become a confidential official position in the current dynasty since Huo Guang Bingzheng.
Most of the guests of the Son of Heaven during the time of Emperor Wu were hung with titles and political titles. However, the generals of Emperor Wu were all leading troops and did not participate in court politics.
Increase Sima, no one can compare with his cronies,
But they also never asked about the country's plans. It was only later that he came to power in the name of General Sima, and his power was above the prime minister! From then on, the general belonged to the Chinese and Korean dynasties!
In the past, Jin had six generals.
"The six generals, that is, the six generals are also the generals. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was commonly known as the general of the army. ”
During the Warring States period, it was the name of a military general.
The ministers around the ancient times were called great generals, hussar generals, chariot generals, former generals, rear generals, left generals, right generals, etc.!
The commanders who temporarily go out on the expedition have different titles, such as General Lou Chuan, General Material Officer, etc.
In the primeval era, generals had a variety of different powers and statuses, such as the general of the Chinese army, General Long Xiang, etc., most of which were temporary and had real power!
For example, the cavalry general, the guerrilla general, etc., are only titles.
The Sixteen Guards, Yulin, Long Wuwei, Shenwu, Shence and other armies all have generals under the generals.
In the Middle Ages, generals were mostly used as military officials. The chief officer has a stamp with the general's number.
But they all have to obey the general's orders!
In the ancient times, Qing commanded the army, so he called Qing a general!
The commander of an army is called a general.
"Shall the general eat it and have a deficiency." These are all unofficial names.
In ancient times, it was the official official name, and Qing was still called a general.
and put the generals in front and back, left and right.
Qin Yinzhi.
In the early days of antiquity, the general and the hussar general were placed in the prime minister's rank!
General Che Cai, General Wei, General Left and Right, Rank Shangqing.
These generals were all important ministers of the imperial court, and they often added the official title of the court and participated in the government affairs.
In addition, there are miscellaneous generals such as General Lou Chuan, General Material Officer, General Tun, General Fubo, etc., whose status is secondary, and is temporarily set up when commanding the army to conquer. There are also generals and generals.
In the Middle Ages, full-time military attache generals included leading generals, escort generals, and their leaders of the left guard generals, right guard generals, Xiaocai generals, former army generals, rear army generals, left army generals, right army generals, etc., pawned the forbidden army, each with its own duties, and the rest of the generals were named as the ministers of the DPRK and the local governors, although they also led the army, but they were not full-time military commanders.
Among them, there are hussars, chariots, and Wei generals, and there are Fubo, Fujun, Duhu, Zhen Army, Zhong Army, Four Zheng, Four Towns, Longxiang, Dian Army, Shang Army, Auxiliary State and other generals.
The rank of the third rank of the general is two thousand stones.
The Jin Prefecture Assassin Shi mostly opened the government with a general, and the military was supervised.
In the Middle Ages, there were many names and positions of power.
It implements the government military system, and the commanders of government military organizations at all levels also carry general numbers, such as the general of the Zhu State, the general, the hussar general, the chariot general, etc.
The Twelve Guards, the Sixteenth Guards and other Praetorian Guards all placed generals and generals, respectively named guard and military titles, and commanded the government soldiers and forbidden troops.
In the ancient era, the generals who guarded the border wore the seal of the generals, such as the general army stationed in Yunnan was called General Zhengnan, the general army stationed in Liangguang was called General Zhengman, the general stationed in Liaodong was called General Zhengqian, the general stationed in Xuanfu was called General Zhenshuo, the general stationed in Gansu was called General Pingqiang, the general stationed in Ningxia was called General Zhengxi, the deputy general stationed in Jiaozhi, and the general Zhenxi stationed in Yansui was called General Zhenxi.
If there is a war, the generals and generals will be discarded, and the war will be exempted.
The general officer who led the troops to the expedition temporarily hung the seal of the general, such as the general of the thief, the general of the Pinghu, the general of the Pinglu, the general of the expedition, the general of the conquest, the general of the thief, the former general, the deputy general, etc., and the seal of the general. The military commanders temporarily dispatched by the Qing Dynasty were awarded General Jing Rebellion and General Yang Wei, etc., and when the division was withdrawn, the army was returned to its original system and the letter was returned.
General, it's not for nothing!
Since everyone else in the barren territory respects Xia Xu, the great general, this status will not change easily!
As an honorary title, the name of a general is particularly widely used.
In the Middle Ages, it was mostly used for the titles of kings, ministers and local governors, and there were many names and ranks of generals, such as General Jianwei, General Jianwu, General Zhenwei, General Zhenwu and so on.
In the early days, there were 43 scattered generals from Zheng Liupin to Congjiupin, including Yi Army, Yi Division, Zhengdong, Zhengnan, Zhengxi, Zhengbei, Neijun, Zhenjun, and Fujun, as additional officers.
In addition, there are foreign generals, and in the future, generals, generals, generals, or sanitation officers, or military officers.
The court warrior was also called a shogun.
General Zhiyunlu, General Zhongwu, General Zhuangwu, General Xuanwei, General Mingwei, General Dingyuan, General Ningyuan, General Cavalry, Guerrilla General and other generals, from the third rank to the fifth rank, are used to represent the rank of military officials.
After the demise of the government military system, the Sixteen Guards General became a military attaché.
The Sixteen Guards General was placed as a sanitation officer, from the fourth grade, no fixed number, no leader, to the clan, idle military attaché for it, but also as a military attache gift.
There are generals Guangwei, Xuanwei, Mingwei, Xinwu, Xianwu, Xuanwu, Wujie, Wude, Wuyi, Wuluo, Jin Zizheng five to six products, Yuan Zizheng four to five from five.
The military attaches of the scattered ranks, such as the hussar generals, the Jinwu generals, the dragon and tiger generals, etc., are from the second rank to the fifth grade.
General Jianwei, General Zhenwei, General Wuxian, and General Wugong are used to give military positions from the first product to the second grade.
If the monarch has to come to find trouble, then the people of this territory will even rebel against the monarch!
"No, he is very happy, not only that, but the monarch also specially brought an edict for me to convey!" Zong Hu smiled and continued:
"The monarch of the Eastern Sui Kingdom has an order, and now appoints Xia Xu, the desolate lord, as the real desolate lord!"
"Title Marquis!
"Crowned the deputy marshal of the Eastern Sui Kingdom!"
"Ten thousand taels of gold!"
"Reward some ordnance and supplies!"
"Please go to the Imperial City to get the rewarded materials!"
This series of words shocked all the subordinates behind Xia Xu!
I really didn't expect that the monarch of the Eastern Sui Kingdom would be so generous?!
Crowned Marquis, what kind of status is this?!
The marquis is "super product", that is, it means more than one product. Only awarded to the emperor's relatives and a very small number of meritorious heroes.
Therefore, the second class of the ancient fifth-class titles is extended to refer specifically to the monarch, to the princes, and later to the officials and nobles.
The spring feast is also beautiful.
From the man, from the factory, like a cloth, under the arrow.
The Son of Heaven is a bear, a tiger and a leopard, and he is fierce, the princes are bears and tigers, the doctor shoots elk, moose, and confusion, and the priest shoots deer and pigs, and he eliminates harm for the field.
He said: "If you don't live in the king's house, you will not be in the king's house, so you will be in the same place." ", Gu Wenyu.
Ringers, villagers also drink.
The spring sound is the waiting for the Son of Heaven to wait for the elderly.
The princes of the Son of Heaven are all like the gift of drinking in the countryside, so it is also called the sound.
King Wen's son day: Set up seats for the three elders and five more elders.
The three elders are like the trade of drinking ceremonies in the township, the five are like the introduction, and the elders are like gathering shoulders.
Lu Songri: Lu Hou stopped, drinking in Pan.
Jianyun: Mr. Zheng and the gentleman had a drinking ceremony with him, and because of it, he also made a living.
The father and son of the bureau and the ministers of the bureau each take the hooves of the bureau father and son and the monarch and the minister, so their words are from the people.
Zheng Yun: The Hou system is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the cover is taken from people.
Eight feet with an open arm and six feet with a foot open, it is the rate of taking the image.
From the factory, like Zhang Cloth.
Azusa people wait, the upper two and their bodies are three, and the lower net is half of it.
Individual, the so-called tongue of the township shooting ceremony.
Hou Fan used cloth thirty-six zhang.
Hou Zhizhang cloth is like a strict seat, so from the factory.
Bears, tigers and leopards, when they are tigers and leopards according to the weekly rites, the transcription is wrong.
Waiting to shoot the bear and tiger, each book to shoot the tiger, win the pig word, today. This week's rites are also shot by Chungao.
Wang Da shot a tiger waiting for a bear waiting for a leopard, and set up its hooves.
The princes are waiting for the bear and the leopard, and the doctor is waiting for the prince, and they all set their hooves.
Decorate its side with the skin of tigers, bears, leopards, and millet grains, and make it to be innocent, which is called the hoof. In the Hou, the so-called skin waiting!
The King's Wait!
It can be seen that the status of the marquis is second only to the duke!
In other words, anyone who is a duke also needs to rely on the power of various marquis to consolidate his position!
The tiger waits, and the king is also self-sufficient.
Bears, waiting.
Leopard waiting, the following shot by the doctor. The Great Shot of Waiting.
Bear waiting, the princes from themselves.
Leopard waiting, shot by the minister. Doctor's big shot.
Mi Hou, monarchs and ministers are together.
According to the Ziren Yun Zhang Pihou and perched on the hoof, it is also said to be this.
The princes shoot bears and tigers, which are different from this one.
Therefore, the book is a bear waiting for the tiger. Du Zichunyun: Tiger authorities leopard.
Yes, Zheng Congdu changed, and Xu Cong also wrote the old book. The Son of Heaven waited for the fierceness, and the doctor was confused, saying that it was righteous.
The skin of the tiger and leopard is also fierce.
The five elements of the Han Dynasty are chronicles, and the Mi Zhi is also a fan of words.
Township shooting salute day, where to wait, the son of heaven bear wait, the quality of the day.
Princes are waiting, red.
The doctor is waiting for the painting of tigers and leopards.
Shibuhou, painted with deer pigs.
Zheng Yun, this so-called beast is also. Ziren Zhang Beast Marquis is Wang Yixi Yan is also.
Those who rest, rest and rest old things.
Yan is a labor envoy, if he drinks with the grass minister and shoots.
It was Zeshi who shot the deer and pig when Wang Xiyan was not shooting.
And Xu said that Rong Zheng used to say that the etiquette was different.
Taxi does not shoot.
There is no minister, and there is no choice for sacrifice, so Si Qiu Yu shoots without saying anything. The deer pig is a field hazard, so the big wax welcomes the tiger.
Nineteen words, the rhyme will be recorded as forty-two words with the exam, non.
The ritual of the Azusa people day is preserved with wine, and the day of their resignation is only if they are waiting, not if the woman is not restless.
It does not belong to the king, so he resists and shoots you.
Strong drink and strong food, the great-grandsons of the princes are blessed. The Great Dai Li is slightly the same. Resist, lift also! Xu Zuo, Dazai is hyper, ancient Wenhou.
The marquis is a typical representative of the nobility, and is an important class that connects the upper and lower generations!
Xia Xu was named the Marquis of Desolation, and his status in the heart of the monarch can be known!
Of course, Xia Xu knew well enough in his own heart that this was because he fought against the demon clan and cut off the wings of the blood-stained duke!
Therefore, the monarch of the Eastern Sui State sent the Grand Duke Zonghu deep into the hinterland of the demon clan and did not hesitate to whip himself up, but also to let the barren territory be officially recognized, and not to let other lords of the young age send troops to attack and disrupt the war in the barren territory!
In this way, the barren tie can defend against the demon clan with peace of mind!
So he crowned Xia Xu as a marquis!
The second marquis of the fifth rank. , 500 miles of Houfu!
The lord is a prince, and there is no fiefdom!
Hou again, shoot cloth also, ten feet square is called Hou, four feet is called a hoof. The Son of Heaven Xiong Hou, white matter, princes and elk marquis, red matter. Doctor Buhou, painted with tigers and leopards, Shibuhou, painted with deer pigs. This so-called beast marquis also.
It's beautiful and straight.
Wei Houying. and Qu Hou, Xiahou, Baihou, Hou Gang, all have the surname.
Hou Mo Chen, three-character surname!
Pei poems have three Xi, so it is a big wind song!
Not only that, but the monarch also worshiped Xia Xu as the deputy marshal of the Eastern Sui Kingdom!
That's amazing!
Because the old marshal of the Eastern Sui Kingdom died, and there was no one to lead the army, the blood stained always wanted to become the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Sui State, but although the monarch was weak, he had always refused to compromise!
The current Eastern Sui State has two lieutenant marshals, one is a blood-stained duke. The other is the person in front of Xia Xu, Duke Zonghu!
Now, Xia Xu has also been named deputy marshal!
This monarch has made a bloody investment!
This is clearly to accompany the people who serve themselves!
But what kind of person is Xia Xu!
Serve the king?!
Joke!
The monarch is weak and incompetent, so he allows the power of the blood-stained duke to grow bigger and bigger, such a monarch, I'm afraid that the Duke Zonghu in front of him will not accept it!
It's just because Duke Zonghu has too much involvement with the royal family, so he can only stand up for the royal family!
As long as the royal family exists, Zonghu can also stand for a day!
That's all!
Xia Xu sneered in his heart.
"It seems that the monarch appreciates me!"
Zong Hu smiled: "That's natural, otherwise I wouldn't have secretly sent me to convey the message, because the holy decree will definitely not be issued, and the blood-stained duke will definitely send someone to intercept and kill!"
Xia Xu said: "Okay, this marquis and deputy marshal, I'll continue, as for those materials, let's talk about it then!"
Zong Hu said: "Brother Xia Xu, how many years older than you, I will call you brother, you have no opinion, right?!"
The dignified duke actually wants to call a marquis a brother, which is also rare in the Longchen Continent!
But it is enough to see Zong Hu's sincerity!
Xia Xu nodded.
"Brother, to tell you the truth, although you are a feudal official, there will be no reinforcements, unless I send tens of thousands of private soldiers, but for the eight demon kings who are about to attack - you have already killed two, and the other demon kings will definitely come out, and when the time comes, millions of demon clans will not be able to compete with you and me!"
"And the blood stain has long held a grudge against you, he will definitely stab you in the back, so I still suggest that you go to the imperial city, become a person on the front with me and the monarch, and then let those wavering official forces see the strength of you and me, maybe you will save the Eastern Sui Kingdom!"
Saving the Eastern Sui Kingdom, Xia Xu is not interested, but the people of Dawn are indeed innocent!
Xia Xu is going to lead the rise of the human race this time!
Therefore, it seems that this imperial city must be visited!
It can also deter those who are still thinking about dealing with themselves in their hearts!
The Eastern Sui Kingdom will be finished sooner or later!
Even the other kingdoms of the Terran race will be finished sooner or later!
Xia Xu knew how arduous his mission was, so Xia Xu nodded at Zong Hu.
"After the matter here is dealt with, I will go to the Imperial City to accept the reward, and by the way, I will see what kind of goods that blood stain is!"
"Okay! A word is a decision! Then I'll take my leave! I'm going to find Donghuang Zhong, go first!" Zong Hu hugged his fist.
"Wait, do you want to find Donghuang Zhong?" Xia Xu's eyes were cold.
The Donghuang Bell was hidden by the Bull Demon King, and the Bull Demon King was killed by himself, so the Donghuang Bell he hid must also be his own!
"We are looking for the Eastern Emperor Bell, but not the Eastern Emperor Bell, although it is a good thing, I know that you are determined to get it!"
Zong Hu said calmly:
"We all know that where the Donghuang Bell is stored, there will be a kind of spiritual grass that grows, called Donghuang Grass!
"My sister Zong Xia has a strange disease, and only the Eastern Emperor Grass can cure it! The Eastern Emperor Grass has no other effect, and it can't improve people's skills, so I only want the Eastern Emperor Grass!"
Xia Xu listened, so he said: "Yes, let's go find it together, where the Eastern Emperor Bell is stored, there must be a powerful formation and mechanism arranged by the Bull Demon King!"
"In that case, let's go together!"
"Okay, let's go!"
Xia Xu and Zong Hu walked side by side, followed by Fang, the three sisters, as well as the military advisor Zhao Fangjie and the Grim Reaper Squad, as well as the Tiger Knights!
According to Xia Xu's estimate, the location where the Bull Demon King hid the East Emperor Bell would not be too far away from his lair!
At this moment, it turned out that the remnants of the Shura Orangutan and the Bull Demon King had all been strangled!
The remaining more than 10,000 Desolate Knights are digging up the demon pill of the demon clan!
This workload is also quite large, at least Duke Zonghu and his subordinates are stunned!
That's thousands of demon pills! Among them, there are many very high-quality demon pills, Venerable Realm, Overlord Realm, all of them!
Even the always calm military advisor Zhao Fangjie is not calm!
His eyes lit up, and he was full of strange looks!
"I'll send my subordinates to give you some demon pills in a while. Xia Xu looked at Duke Zonghu with a smile, "Even if it's a thank you for coming all the way to deliver the Holy Decree." ”
Without waiting for Duke Zonghu to speak, Xia Xu turned his head to the three sisters and said, "Go and take out five thousand demon pills and give them to Duke Zonghu!"
The three sisters went to do it immediately, and the three sisters of the Desolate Knights now had the final say, of course, the three sisters had to carry it out.
Zong Hu immediately showed a grateful look: "This! This really makes me speechless!"
Xia Xu waved his hand: "This is nothing, I can see that you are a person who really wants to resist the demon clan, and you are also a person who really wants to rectify the dynasty, you deserve these demon pills." ”
Zong Hu also said: "Brother Marquis, your barren knights have also suffered a lot of losses, I can see that your army equipment is not strong enough, and when I go back, I will immediately send someone to send 30,000 pairs of armor and weapons, all of which are made of silver!"
"Silver chain mail, yes!" Xia Xu is also refreshing!
"What!" Zhao Fangjie was taken aback, "Lord Duke, those 30,000 sets of equipment are the ...... prepared for our newly trained new army."
It can be seen that Zhao Fangjie is very distressed!
Silver chain mail is a relatively valuable piece of equipment!
Chain mail is a type of metal armor used in warfare!
In antiquity or earlier, it may have been the Stitains in the northern part of the Black Sea who first invented chain mail, and the early chain mail was inferior to later generations in terms of material and performance.
Chain mail is also known as "ring lock armor"!
Generally, it is made of iron wire or iron ring buckle to form a garment, each ring is buckled with another four rings, shaped like a net lock, and the production materials are different in different civilizations! ”
Ordinary bows and arrows could not be shot, and it was obviously the best chain mail of the time, both in terms of material and technique.
It was prevalent in the Middle Ages, and this armor was listed as one of the armor systems, and it was most widely used in other regions, and it is still in use today, and the army was equipped with chain mail and cotton armor in large quantities in the middle and late periods.
There is another type of mountain armor that is also a type of chain mail.
Chain mail is clasped with tiny iron rings to form a long garment with a hood, which is draped over the close-fitting clothing.
All the weight is borne by the shoulders, which can effectively protect against the attacks of sharp weapons such as swords, guns and spears, and the main role is also the defense of bows and crossbows, but the Welsh longbow and various crossbows, national bows and arrows, tartar bows, etc. can still penetrate through chain mail.
The biggest disadvantage is that it is soft, and it is difficult to resist when the sharp sword stabs at it, and if it is smashed down by heavy weapons such as meteor hammers and maces, the chain mail will be ineffective.
The production is quite complicated and cumbersome, and the cost is high. Generally speaking, the finer the iron ring, the better the protection performance, and each iron ring must be welded and connected, and the workload can be imagined.
The production of chain mail is quite complicated and cumbersome, first of all, it needs to be tailor-made, after all, armor is actually metal clothing, especially soft armor!
A skilled armor master must first and foremost be a good tailor.
Due to the large demand for armor, basically a piece of armor must be completed within a week, so the armor workshop must be made by several masters: chain mail is made of iron wire with a diameter of about millimeters, calcined and twisted into a diameter ring after heating, and beaten into a flat ring about three millimeters wide, and at both ends of the ring punched out of a small eye with a diameter of about one millimeter, generally one eye, there are also two eyes, three eyes are rare, after being sleeved with each other, connected with rivets with a diameter of one millimeter.
The iron rings are interlocking, sometimes with smaller iron rings to turn the desired shape, suitable for human wear and activities.
Making armor is very hard work, so it is already remarkable that an armor master can complete a piece of "iron cloth" in one day.
After forging the iron cloth with the shape and size specified on the cut drawing according to the method of garment, the master craftsman carefully connects each part with iron rings!
For ease of movement, the armor is generally slightly larger than designed.
Then wrap the neckline, cuffs, etc. with leather to prevent hanging clothes and skin, and a piece of armor is complete! Chain mail costs a knight's full set of equipment is worth as much as a small farm!
In the medieval serfdom system, the armor master was also a high-class commoner who could sit on an equal footing with the priest, and was generally respected.
Chain mail is a kind of armor made of many iron lock plates, generally the upper body armor, the upper shoulder arm, down to the knee pad.
The size of the iron rope is about the same as that of a coin, and the chain mail that tightly ties many iron lock plates together has a strong ability to protect cold weapons.
The biggest advantage of chain mail is that compared with leather armor, its protection is stronger, and the air permeability is good, and it is lighter and more flexible than sheet gold armor, the weight of chain mail is only 30 catties, and it can also be used in combination with other armor as needed to increase the protection range and strength.
Its disadvantage is that it is expensive to make and difficult to maintain, because the iron ring is easy to rust, so it is resistant to water, and the humid environment is also easy to make it rust and even break.
Smash with a striking weapon and smash it hard, and you won't be spared if you wear chain mail.
After wearing the chain mail for a period of time, it will be stained with dirt, sweat stains, rust and other dirt, and it is very uncomfortable not to wash it.
And the cleaning of chain mail is different from ordinary clothes, not with water, but with fine sand.
The washing method is to put clean fine sand in a large wooden basin, then put the chain mail in it, and use a long wooden stick to pound and knead it repeatedly to make the chain mail shiny as new.
Small iron rings to weave iron chain clothing, as a protective weapon in war or martial arts!
Although armor has appeared made of thick iron rings connected to each other, the large voids make it not very useful.
In the more civilized peoples, the soldiers wore a whole piece of armor that was more protective.
The bronze cuirass and bronze shield are the symbol and pride of the hoplites of the Longqi Kingdom!
In the era after the conquest of half a continent by the three major southern empires, the infantry of each country was basically equipped with cuirasses and scales.
The same is true for the Guitai Empire: the early Guitai Empire army was modeled after the Great Qin army, and armor such as scale armor attached to the cloth was the main armor of the soldiers.
In terms of protection, chain mail is no better defensive than scale armor!
But chain mail was lighter than scale armor, so it was used not only by barbarians, but also by officers.
In addition, due to prolonged exposure to the sun, the armor heats up and easily burns the skin.
To this end, the knights wore white robes sewn with a red cross pattern on their heads, and their heads were covered with cylindrical iron helmets with horizontal sight holes and small round holes for breathing.
In order to increase the defense of chain mail, steel plate armor has been added to the vulnerable parts of the chest, arms, and legs.
These armors became the forerunner of the plate gold armor that would later prevail.
The helmet was also replaced by a cylindrical shape to a pointed conical shape.
Shanwen chain mail is also a kind of chain mail, but it is not like other chains that are interlocked in a circle, the chain of Shanwen armor is triangular, and there is a buckle knot at the three corners, and the buckle is connected to each other, and it is chain mail that is connected to each other.
Shanwen chain mail probably appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties, as the name suggests, is the shape of a nail piece like the Chinese character "mountain".
The method is very unique, and it is called the "wrong method".
That is, through the nail piece and the nail piece bite each other into a nail.
It is said that if the nail piece is made in a delicate and uniform manner, it does not even need a nail nail or a strand of silk thread to make the whole armor.
Since the Middle Ages, Shanwen armor has gradually been widely used and has become a common armor style.
So, in a way, it can be counted as a model of armor!
