The design concept of the armor of the Qing Dynasty is essentially different from that of the Western armor.
Western-style plate armour is large steel plates from top to bottom, and there are only turning discs or lobster folds at the joints. Although the defense is strong, because it is too heavy, the action is limited.
The two Western fighters died on it.
And they also have a huge disadvantage because of the complexity of the production process, which has caused the price to be too high, the production time is too long, and there is no way to popularize it on a large scale.
But Chinese armor is another style. China has a large population and hundreds of thousands of people are often called war. Even a battle of tens of thousands of people is not a big battle.
Therefore, in the eyes of officials of the Qing dynasty, the force of 2,000 soldiers of the Xiaoqiying Battalion, which is about to be led by Gao Xianda, can only be regarded as an honor guard. But if it is translated to medieval Europe, it can be regarded as a main force.
The three major battalions of the imperial guards plus the army of the Tongzhou battalion only have hundreds of thousands of military horses within the scope of the Beijing garrison. To equip such a large number of soldiers, their weapons and armor must of course be easy to manufacture.
Therefore, the standard machete and standard cotton armor came into being.
Although the knife does not have the repeated folding and forging technology of the Japanese sword, it is enough to cut the head, and the production cost is low, and it is not afraid of being tough. Similarly, the cotton armor of the Qing Dynasty naturally has its unique advantages.
The cotton armor worn by the Eight Banners soldiers originated from the Ming Army. Of course, instead of simply sewing with cotton yarns, the cotton was soaked and compacted in water to make a thin cotton sheet, and then the cotton sheet was laminated in one layer. Together, made of cotton. Between the two layers of cotton cloth, an iron sheet was inserted, and then fixed together with copper nails.
The toughness of the cotton cloth and the strength of the iron plate constitute an excellent defense, which can not only ensure a certain degree of protection, but also have very good flexibility. This combined structure is very similar to the design concept of modern outer body armor.
The elaborately sewed cotton armor does not lose plate armor, and weighs only one-third or one-quarter of the plate armor.
More importantly, as soon as winter arrives, in the northeastern region of China, where minus three or forty degrees is common, this kind of cotton armor also has a strong thermal insulation effect. The Manchu Qing regime originated outside the customs, and the popularization of this armor naturally has its scientific nature.
Gao Xianda picked up a piece of cotton armor and put it on her body, suddenly feeling very warm. Gao Xianda's power is very large, this cotton armor is not as heavy as he imagined, and his actions are completely unaffected. This armor is a pure white outfit without any additional skills, but the added defense is high.
The effects of defense and damage absorption are different, and the damage is reduced in proportion. The stronger the opponent's attack, the more obvious the defense effect. Gao Xianda now has the ability to absorb damage, and the blood is also very thick, but its own defense is not very high, and it can only be filled by the amount of blood for a single high attack.
But with this set of cotton armor, it is different. The defense provided by a single piece of white jacket is more useful than the entire set of Jianghu Haoke clothing that Gauchenda currently wears.
Gao Xianda listened to Duolong explaining some of the design principles of cotton armor, and then said to him: "Since the cotton cloth is made of iron plugs, the production process is not complicated, why can't you plug a few more."
"Not yet to reduce weight." Doron said: "But if you want to modify it is easy. The sword on the battlefield has no eyes, and the fastest loss is armor. The cotton armor also has a big advantage, if it is damaged, The iron pieces can be taken out for replacement, without having to discard the whole piece. Many places have this craft."
When Gao Xianda heard this, the idea of ​​transformation came to mind. He turned out all the parts of the armor from the helmet to the battle skirt, put it on his body, and took a photo in the mirror. Gao Xianda was born to be tall and burly, but wearing this suit had quite the taste of generals.
Wearing this armor, Gao Xianda came to the door and asked the who said the door: "Old man, what do I need to do to take this set of armor from the library?"
Doron coughed softly.
The old said: "These are the reported samples, which are not treasures in the warehouse. Since Master Rui likes them, you wear them."
Having finished speaking, he even claimed to praise Gao Xianda for his bravery and majesty, as if he were a general.
Knowing that he was seeking a reward, Gao Xianda took out a dozen or two large silver ingots and put them in his hands. The old was very happy, and said repeatedly, "Welcome, sir, come here often."
Gao Xianda heart said: "I use it often, and I have no merit. Unless your equipment here is changed to silver instead of merit."
But he still smiled with the old Wei, said: "It's really hard for you old man. Do you know who is the best craftsman of cotton armor in the Ministry of Internal Affairs? I want to change it."
The old told him: "Although the Armament Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is dedicated to armor and weapons, but these little hairy children have no good hands. If you just want to change the tailoring, they can do it. If you want to be thorough I am afraid I have to find a good folk player to transform the armor."
Gao Xianda naturally understood what he meant, and stuffed a hundred-two silver ticket in the past and said respectfully: "Then trouble you old man to give some advice."
The old saw him on the road, and his shot was not cheap, so he talked and took out a famous post, and handed it to Gao Xianda: "When people are old, many things can't be remembered, and all the good hands of the year died. Almost. Just go to the Yangliu Hutong outside the North Gate to find the old Zhang Zhangsan. He still has a handful of handicrafts. If you want to modify it, just tell him."
After the two had said goodbye, Doron said to Gao Xianda: "Who can have any good skills in the country, or I will take you to the Armory Academy and go around again."
Gao Xianda said: "I saw the old eunuch, although he was unclear and a bit greedy, but he still had some knowledge. I also thought of the place he recommended to see what kind of craftsmanship. If their craftsmanship is not good, I Come back to find you again, anyway, they are all standard clothing, there is nothing to be distressed about."
Seeing that Gao Xianda had already decided, Dulong no longer objected and nodded.
In addition, Gao Xianda was about to go on a tour. Kangxi sent him 40 royal front guards, but no one was selected yet. Doron thought of this, and said: "It is a good thing for you to go to Beijing to meet Wu Yingxiong. Wu Yingxiong is generous, and the brothers are willing to go out to fight the autumn wind. Who are you going to take this time?"
Gao Xianda said: "The guards in the palace are the same as my brothers. It's okay to pick anyone. Just recently, the palace is not very peaceful, and everything is still based on the safety of the palace. So I still ask my older brother to take the lead for me. "
Since everyone wants to go out to play the autumn wind, if you want to go to nature, you have to be active. Gao Xianda undoubtedly transferred an opportunity to ask for bribes to Doron. Doron was very happy.
