Chapter 54 Daming Good Man
Yang Xin, who walked out of the left gate of Chang'an, finally saw Fang Tinglan again among the waiting crowd...
Although it is far away.
Yang Xin waved to her, of course, and also to everyone, as if he was a general who returned from triumphantly, but he was indeed cheering for the triumphant people, although most people in front of him did not recognize him. However, as a commoner, he beat dozens of prison students, beat the censors of the city patrol, and injured soldiers and horse officials in the five cities. No matter who he is, he is enough to be admired by the people. In the eyes of the people, these crimes are definitely a feat that is pleasing to the hearts of the people.
At this time, officials and civilians are two completely opposite names.
If you dare to beat an official, you will be a commoner hero.
"My elders, brothers are going to Liaodong to kill Jiannu. Let that Jiannu see my good man in the Ming Dynasty. If the brothers can come back alive, they will drink the celebration wine with you all!"
He bowed and said.
Then there were cheers in front of him.
"You'd better be honest!"
Chen Yujie said speechlessly.
"Brother Yang, this horse belongs to you. Riding this horse to Liaodong and killing a few Jiannu for Xu!"
Xu Xianchun handed him the reins of his horse and said.
"Thank you, Brother Xu!"
Yang Xin took it readily.
Then he got on the horse in the cheers, as if he was an illustration of a king entering Beijing. While bowing to both sides, he walked up to Mingshifang with high apology. Fang Tinglan, not far away, immediately entered the sedan chair. Then Hexiang's little sister squeezed over from the crowd and silently handed him a silver note. Yang Xin was not polite, took it calmly and smiled at Fang Tinglan.
The latter put down the curtain sadly.
Then the sedan chair was lifted up and walked straight away.
This woman is still very rational and probably has already prepared to settle the relationship between the two. After all, to outsiders, he is basically in danger of going to Liaodong. This silver note is of this meaning, and it is considered that the Fang family thanked him. Fang Congzhe was praised by Wanli for offering the eight mountains and ones of the Ming Dynasty, and even Fang Tinglan was rewarded by Concubine Zheng for his contribution to participation. Although everyone understands that this is just Concubine Zheng strengthens the alliance with Concubine Fang, all this was brought by Yang Xin after all. Yang Xin took the silver note and helped her cut off the broken connection. After all, the two of them are not from the same world after all...
"One thousand taels!"
Chen Yujie said meaningfully from the side.
"Repay the debt!"
Yang Xin stuffed it into his clothes casually.
"This is boring!"
Chen Yujie took out the silver notes and said.
"Then you can keep it for me first and wait until Huang Ying arrives in the capital before giving it to her."
Yang Xin said.
"Just just when Xiong Tingbi came out, I had already agreed to go to Liaodong with him. He will also report to His Majesty to get me a doctor of Taichang Temple. Therefore, you should give this silver note to your uncle!"
Chen Yujie said.
"Give it to your uncle, my uncle is not a good person!"
Yang Xin said.
This is a total of 1,000 taels. It is enough to buy a real luxury house in the capital. For example, the one that is rented by Jiu Qiansui, you can buy more than ten. If you give it to Jiu Qiansui, you will probably have to look at the situation. If you die in Liaodong, you will basically be greedy. After all, Jiu Qiansui was not a rich man at this time. One thousand taels were also a huge sum of money for him. In terms of character alone, Jiu Qiansui was actually quite different from Chen Yujie, so this silver note was more guaranteed to Xu Guangqi.
Chen Yujie didn't say much, and then put away the silver notes for Yang Xin.
"I still have to buy equipment?"
Yang Xin suddenly remembered a question.
"What's the matter with the official army warehouse? Just ask Xiong Tingbi for one."
Chen Yujie said.
"Just that rag that can't even be blocked by arrows, do you want me to make the next juniper?"
Yang Xin said.
Poor Du Song, as a general of the Ming army, was actually killed by a inferior helmet.
"This is not expensive to make by yourself. The best Su Gang only costs more than three cents of silver per kilogram, and a suit of 50 kilograms of armor. Including the cost of craftsmen, it is less than ten taels, and weapons are even cheaper. However, our court's bow is not as good as Jiannu, and this is worse than robbing them at that time. But the problem is that we are too late. Xiong Tingbi will set off the day after tomorrow, and there are less than two days left. In any case, we can't make a set of armor. However, the official army is not without good armor. There should be a small amount of full iron armor in the warehouse of Wang Gong Factory. This protection is still enough, weighing less than forty kilograms, and it is equipped with iron faces and throat armor, but we still have to find Xiong Tingbi."
Chen Yujie said.
"Looking for the Emperor Changsun, he has to ask me to be his teacher tonight, ask him to bring this as a gift, and make a few more sets. What's the use of less than forty kilograms? At least two layers of iron plates are required."
Yang Xin said.
"You can be considered very brave if you dare to use the Emperor Changsun like this!"
Chen Yujie sighed.
The two of them entered Mingshifang as they spoke.
"What else are you doing?"
Yang Xin asked Wangwang behind in confusion.
"I, I'll see you off!"
Wangwang said with a flashing eyes.
"Ah, you also want a Rubik's Cube. Go back and wait. You will be indispensable for making it. We want to go back to drink. You can go home quickly!"
Yang Xin said.
Wangwang glared at him and then went back to his home.
Yang Xin and the others returned to the Xu Mansion. Xu Guangqi had also come back. He was looking at the mess in the yard and was depressed. However, he had a good temper and didn't say much. Anyway, since things had come to this point, he was not afraid. At most, more people would scold him in the future.
But this is not worth mentioning.
Apocalypse arrived in the evening.
Immediately afterwards, Jiu Qiansui went to Wang Gongchang according to his order and got four sets of full iron armor in his name. As for whether it complies with the rules or not, it is not worth mentioning. As the imperial grandson who is almost certain in the future of the Ming Dynasty, he still has to give him face. Besides, Yang Xin is also considered to be an order to go to Liaodong to kill the enemy and atone for his sins. Then, killing the enemy must not be without armor and weapons. Could it be that he can go to the battlefield with bare hands? Long lively can't care about such things, so the eldest grandson of the emperor will worry about him.
In short, four sets of full iron armor.
In fact, it is the Ming-style primary plate armor.
The core of this thing is a large iron plate similar to a breastplate.
Don’t think that the Ming Dynasty did not play with plate armor. No one was wearing it because it was too expensive. One set required 100 kilograms of Fujian iron, and then re-quenched and forged into large iron plates. A pair of full iron armor would cost more than ten chunks of charcoal alone, and this item alone would cost more than five chunks. At this time, the price of charcoal was 40,000 kilograms forty or fifty kilograms. The arms and legs were also large iron plates, but they were not relatively delicately connected like European plate armor. Instead, they were worn with ropes like zither armor. Finally, they were wrapped with a few iron plates, but the breastplate was complete, and there was also a piece specifically around the back. The helmet was still a phoenix-winged helmet, but it had iron surfaces and throat protection. In addition, all the armor pieces were wrapped with canvas at the edges, and the inside was also made of cloth lining. The whole set was not more than forty kilograms.
This thing is not as good as European plate armor.
But the Ming Dynasty actually did not pay attention to iron armor at present. On the contrary, cotton iron armor was the most popular. Even Shanwen armor was rarely worn, and even generals liked cotton armor more.
The main opponents of the Ming army in the late period were actually Mongolian nomads. The biggest feature of these light cavalry was that they were fast. The Ming army had to be as light as they were. In this way, they were simple and lightweight. In particular, the cotton armor that was also cold-proof was very popular in the cold-stricken Mongolian Plateau and the Northeast. The weight of the iron armor was nearly 40 kilograms and the cotton coat that was cold-proof, basically it was fifty. In addition to other equipment, a cavalry had a total of hundreds of weights, and the weight of the soldiers themselves...
The little Mongolian horse really can't do it!
However, this equipment system is not suitable for dealing with the Eight Banners Heavy Infantry.
Instead, the heavy infantry of the Eight Banners were fully equipped with iron armor, such as Zheng Chenggong's Iron Man Army.
Soon Yang Xin was dressed neatly, and his temperament changed drastically with his helmet and armor. However, a single layer of iron armor was definitely not enough. He planned to add another layer to the vital parts on his chest.
"Where is my weapon!"
Yang Xin said.
This time, it was not only full of iron armor, but also brought a bunch of weapons of various types. He was soon carried by the slaves of the Xu family and placed them in the yard for him to choose. However, they were all cold weapons and heavy.
"This is also called a hammer?"
Yang Xin was holding a garlic hammer that was less than twelve pounds and looked speechless.
While he was talking, he grabbed the leather hood behind him and swung it up like Brother Hammer. Then he flew out of his hand and hit the yard wall in an instant, causing the blue brick to collapse into a pit.
"Try this!"
Apocalypse said, pointing to an iron whip.
Yang Xin then picked up...
"It's still too light!"
He said dissatisfiedly.
After saying that, he threw out the iron whip weighing more than ten pounds. The latter instantly hit the pit just now with the sound of breaking through the air, and pierced into the already broken brick wall like a steel chisel.
"I don't want you to be as brave as Li Cunxiao."
Apocalypse said with a smile.
"This really doesn't have the right weapon for you. If you want to fight now, these more than ten pounds of iron whips can be called a general in the army. Although Liu Jing is known as Liu Dadao, he does not swing the sword to the battlefield. It is said that he is used to going to the battlefield with one hand and gold and silver. Besides, the heavier the weapon, the better. The iron whip mace is the most suitable right now. It can't stand it even if you wear two heavy armors. You are already a bit heavy for the war horse. If you take another weapon of forty or fifty kilograms, the horse will not last long."
Chen Yujie said.
"Why would I ride a horse?"
Yang Xin said.
"Jinnu won't ride a horse and hit you to death!"
Chen Yujie said.
"What if I really took a 100-pound big knife? Do you think Jiannu's horse can withstand this? Still want to hit me to death? A 100-pound big knife was cut in the air. Wouldn't any horse be cut off with one knife?"
Yang Xin said with a smile.
"Go, go to the Governor's Office of the Five Army to borrow a hundred-pound sword for martial arts!"
Apocalypse said with some excitement.
Jiu Qiansui quickly ran out, and as soon as he arrived at the inner door, he saw the butler of the Xu Mansion bringing two people in...
"Old Huang, you're at the right time!"
He said unexpectedly.
Yang Xin quickly raised his head and saw Huang Ying looking at him
