At this time, Zhu Dayong strode over and saluted in high spirits when he came to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han said: "There are no other accessories in this armor, please put it on and take a look."

"Yes, sir."

Zhu Dayong didn't ask much. He had known about the trial production of the new armor here for a long time, and of course he knew what he was doing at this time.

Two craftsmen were helping each other, and Zhu Dayong began to wear plate armor, and then only put on an iron helmet. Zhang Han calculated the time while silently. It took less than five minutes to wear the entire armor.

The middle of the two iron armor is connected by a buckle and a belt. After wearing it, connect it with these parts and then tightly buckle it, which takes a certain amount of time.

Of course, the speed of wearing armor is slow. If infantry is lined up to wait for the enemy, there is enough time, so you will inevitably be in a hurry. If skilled soldiers wear each other, although they are quick, they will have to delay time, which is almost the same.

At this time, Zhang Han began to plan to set up cavalry auxiliary soldiers. Cavalry cannot always wear armor. Cavalry fighting may break out quickly when encountering cavalry combat. If there are qualified auxiliary soldiers to help, wear armor, and take care of war horses and cook, these things can be left to the auxiliary soldiers to do. The cavalry itself is much easier and can polish combat skills when they have time, instead of spending their energy on chores.

Zhang Han, the infantry combat soldier, has not planned to be equipped with auxiliary soldiers on a large scale. The main auxiliary soldiers already have the logistics bureau and the engineering bureau, and will be expanded in the future. One of these two troops is responsible for logistics, and the other is between the combat soldiers and auxiliary soldiers. The battlefield engineers have to bear almost combat tasks. With these two departments, pure infantry auxiliary soldiers seem unnecessary.

"Sir, this armor is very good and fits well!"

The plate armor is designed based on the general average body shape and height of the cavalry. Basically, except for a few exceptions, they can be worn comfortably on their bodies. The buckles on both sides can firmly fix the front breastplate. After Zhu Dayong put on the breastplate, a majestic iron man appeared in front of everyone.

"Malay!"

After Zhu Dayong put on his armor, his entire aura also changed significantly. When he walked to the workshop and went to the courtyard outside, he ordered his personal soldiers to lead the war horses, and his aura was very majestic.

Zhang Han told Li Dongxue: "This breastplate can be polished, which will make the enemy even more frightened."

Li Dongxuedao: "If the warriors also use this kind of armor, they will be polished and then have iron armor on their bodies. Hundreds of people will act together, and I believe that the enemy can be scared."

Zhang Han nodded slightly. The spearmen and bird gunners in the infantry must still be equipped with large-scale mail, jumping war soldiers, that is, the war soldiers in the Mandarin Duck Formation will wear plate armor, which will reduce the casualties of the war soldiers and retain more veterans with battlefield experience.

Zhu Dayong's war horse was captured by Zhu Dayong in the last battle with the Northern Lu. It was a three-year-old sand red horse, extremely majestic. Zhu Dayong was very tall, like a tall iron man. Standing next to the sand red horse, it was only not much taller than the horse's waist. The horse saw more people, not only wasn't afraid, but was excited, and its front hooves began to rise, and its mouth and nose made a sound.

Zhang Han praised: "What a good horse."

Zhu Dayong said: "This is what Su Nang Taiji people gave me on the battlefield. If you like it, I would like to offer it to you."

Zhang Han smiled and said, "Of course you use what you captured yourself. What do I want such a good horse to do? I won't charge on a horse!"

Sometimes Zhang Han also wants to be a general wearing a strong and sharp-stricken force, galloping happily and killing enemies under the sword. His martial arts are also overwhelming, but being a general is not qualified. Now there are more and more things. Just exercise every day to stay healthy and become a general with superb martial arts. This idea has become increasingly weak.

But he also likes the situation in front of him. It is indeed an exciting thing for him to rush towards the enemy with a strong and powerful general wearing a strong armor.

Zhu Dayong had already crossed and rode his horse. The courtyard here was originally large, and there were courtyards outside each bureau. There were more than 100 acres of open space in the northeast of the Firearms Bureau to try out new firearms, and of course there were also weapons bureaus.

The war horses gradually trotted, then the medium-speed fast horse. In the end, Zhu Dayong increased the speed to the fastest, and people saw the horse's body becoming a fiery red afterimage galloping outside the yard.

It took a quarter of an hour to return.

Although sitting on the horse, the knight also needs to consume physical strength. His waist, back and legs must cooperate with the horse's speed and movements. He also needs to control the direction. He is also wearing heavy armor. It has been nearly June again. The weather is very hot. After Zhu Dayong dismounted the horse, the craftsmen began to help him remove his armor. The back of his breastplate was wet with sweat.

"Sir, this armor is very good!" Zhu Dayong said with a sensation: "It's not heavy to fit, and the horse's burden is not too heavy. The important thing is that it doesn't affect the movement at all. I did the sprint and slashing immediately, and it felt very smooth!"

Zhang Han said: "The breastplate only protects the front, chest and back. Will there be insecurity? Should I add shin protection?"

"Sir, really, there is no need." Zhu Dayong said excitedly: "According to the cavalry training outline compiled by the Adult and the Military Command Staff Department, we need extremely strong mobility. Of course, it is not enough if the protection is poor, but it should be enough to have this breastplate. If you are afraid of even your legs and arms, don't just do cavalry. Besides, it feels extremely safe to wear such thick iron armor on your body. Compared to scale armor and mail, it feels really different!"

Zhang Han nodded calmly and said to Li Dongxue: "Share it in shape, mass production, and meet all the cavalry team as soon as possible."

Li Dongxue bowed and said solemnly: "The Military and Political Department must make arrangements as soon as possible. Cavalry assembly is the most important thing in recent times, and subordinates must do their best."

Zhang Han looked at Wang Debang again and said, "The butt stock of the musket should be smaller, the barrel can be shorter, and it is also possible to sacrifice the power appropriately."

He did not urge Wang Debang. It was decided long ago that the flintlock rifle was divided into infantry and cavalry. There was no need to put pressure on Wang Debang and others. Even the flintlock rifle that was not fixed now was excellent.

"Don't worry, sir," Wang Debang said: "We will cooperate as soon as possible and we will definitely use the best guns for the cavalry."

Zhang Han smiled and said, "I have always had confidence in you."

He also said to Li Dongxue: "The successful trial production of the plate armor is based on the best, whether it is patent or reward, and don't treat the craftsmen with little care or be stingy with money."

"Thank you sir!"

Everyone present bowed.

...

In June, Liaodong is like other places. It is also very hot during the day, and the sun is very strong, so people hide and don’t go out. There are almost no pedestrians walking around in Guangning City.

Only some vendors were carrying sour plum soup soaked with ice and selling it along the street with sweat.

Cheng Fang's robe and robe were also soaked with sweat, and her back showed signs of wetness. Fortunately, there was some wind, and Liaodong was not like Jiangnan, and it was stuffy and wet. Even if the clothes were wet, they would take off their clothes after a while, and then they would dry out in a short while.

Cheng Fang was originally from Liaodong, but he was a military householder from the Central Guard of Chenyang. He had only heard of Guangning and had never been here once before.

Guangning is northeast of Sancha River and Daling River, Jinzhou is southwest, and Ningyuan is southwest. This is the narrow Liaoxi Corridor. Guangning is at the northmost point, close to the grassland and Liaohe River. Zhenwu and Xiping Xining Forts are along the Daliao River and Shuangtaizi River, and Sancha River are scattered along the Daliao River and Shuangtaizi River, protecting the river bank and Guangning.

This is a complete defense system, corresponding to the grasslands in the extreme north and the Liaozhong region.

To the north is the grassland, to the east is the sea, and behind it is the Yanshan Mountains. As long as the imperial court controls Guangning and guards the Sancha River, the hinterland of western Liaoning will be safe and Ningyuan will be safe. With Ningyuan and Jinzhou here, Shanhaiguan or the rear, the capital will be even safer.

Guangning's status was extremely important to the Ming Dynasty. Even when the Northern Barbarians were strong, they surpassed Liaoyang and Shenyang. During the decades when Li Chengliang was the general, the generals of Liaodong Town were not stationed in Liaoyang or Shenyang, but in Guangning City.

Even the governor and eunuchs in the Wanli period were in Guangning City. Guangning City was the real core of Liaodong Town at that time, and Liaoyang and other places were far behind.

Later, the Northern Governors were weak and the Jurchens rose. The general of Liaozhen was moved to Liaoyang. Later, the ruling also went to Liaoyang, and the governor also went to Liaoyang. Guangning also appointed a governor, but his status was far less than that of Liaoyang. However, now Liaoyang has been captured by the Jurchens, and Guangning has become the top priority... But the ruling Xiong Tingbi did not stay in Guangning. He stayed in Shanhaiguan, and sometimes in Ningyuan. Xiong Tingbi and the governor Wang Huazhen were incompatible, which is an open secret.

There were not many soldiers in Guangning City. When Yang Yi and Cheng Fang were walking on the street, they found another battalion of soldiers had been sent out. After the city gate opened, the battalion of soldiers flocked out, and the order was very chaotic. Cheng Fang and Yang Yi shook their heads when they saw them.

"Team officer, these soldiers are not even as good as us back then, we are already bad enough."

Cheng Fang still followed his old habits back then. In the 47th year of Wanli, he joined the army and joined the army with Zhou Daniu and Yang Yi. Of course, Li Mingli, who had no news, was all in the same place. Later, he had a lot of experiences, and now he can reunite with Yang Yi. Sometimes Cheng Fang himself felt like a dream.

"After the two battles of Sarhu and Kaiyuan, Tieling," Cheng Fang continued: "Now I understand that if you don't practice martial arts diligently in the army, it will harm people. But now the court still focuses on the chariot camp and the firearm camp, and does not urge the camp soldiers to practice hand-to-hand combat skills. If this continues, even if there are more than 100,000 people, I am afraid that it will not be the opponent of the Donglu."

"The chariot camp has more than 100 cannons from generals, and three-eyed guns, seven-eyed guns, nine-eyed guns, nine-eyed guns," Yang Yi was also very dissatisfied and said, "I heard that the court has not felt enough yet. He plans to set up the chariot guns again and prepare to assemble more cannons and muskets. I don't understand it anymore. I dare not fight with the enemy with bloody battles with the enemy. What's the use of holding these guns? I really hope that these firearms can achieve success. That's really the opinion of scholars. I don't understand military affairs at all."
