Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

How can it be possible to fight a war just by talking about it? If you want to fight, you have to have a target.There are also soldiers stationed at the border. Before the large troops arrived, the soldiers at the border were under the pressure of resisting the enemy's attack. However, the enemy attacked a few times in a decent manner only a few days before the prince left. There is no more, overnight, all the soldiers of the enemy attack disappeared. If there were no traces of the enemy's activities hundreds of miles outside the city, they almost thought that the enemy attack was their fantasy.

The news of the enemy's retreat was still pressing on the prince's case of the frontier guard, and the news of the dispatch of troops from the capital came. The prince was taken aback by the quick response. According to his understanding, shouldn't the group of ministers be jumping and shouting? This and that, they will also talk about the fact that it is not appropriate to cause a war at the end of the year, and then fight with the military officer for a few days, and they will not be able to send soldiers out after the year.The prince looked at the news of the retreat on the case, and he would not pass it on. It would be better if the soldiers came, at least they would be able to overwhelm the formation. No one can guarantee that those sneak attackers will make a comeback.Thinking of the gang of savages attacking the fourth prince last time, the prince was so angry that his liver ached. Fortunately, the fourth prince was lucky and did not get hurt. If he was injured, he didn't have to be an idle prince here. Go back to Beijing directly.

The barbarians who made a sneak attack were also having a hard time. There were less than a hundred people in the sneak attack team when they returned, and they couldn't catch some people. In the past, there were villages outside the city near Daliang, but now the villages are all inside the city, and they want to catch some people. Go back to being a slave, unless you can break through the high walls.And the city wall, let's not mention it, who the hell thought of a bad move, and used a knife on the wall. The knife was the same color as the wall, and he was accidentally poked.

When the city wall was first built, it was the fourth prince who guarded the border. This move came from his brain, and the source of his thinking of such a bad move was when someone accidentally dropped the pot on the iron wall when pouring wisdom to cast the wall. On the pillar, it happened that the head of the iron pillar was thick and pointed. I don't know if the basin was too old or too vigorous, so the basin was poked a hole.The fourth prince witnessed the whole process, and didn't think too much about it at the time. When he arrived at the border to build the city wall, he somehow remembered it, so he called the head of the building over, and as soon as he said his thoughts, the head added another sentence in a hurry , if it can be the same color as the city wall, it will definitely not be easy to be discovered, so this matter is settled.No one expected that their idea would really come in handy. The barbarians who wanted to climb the wall at night poked one after another. Looking at the city wall in the morning, it was frozen red.In such a situation, a passer-by returning to Beijing who came up with an idea, a person who carried out the operation and made a small change, and was busy cleaning up the officials in the government office in Qiucheng, how could he know what happened at the border? Even if they know the situation, they will say that the barbarian deserves it.

In the garment shop in the capital, Wang Xiujin was still waiting for Li Sushan's answer.Li Sushan looked away from the tailor, "The season is not suitable for fighting, and the barbarians will not stay for too long. If it was before, they would probably rob a nearby village and take people and food away."

The corners of Wang Xiujin's mouth twitched. It sounds a bit similar to the Sanguang policy of a certain bird country when he was studying modern history in his previous life. That bird country is not a descendant of barbarians! "Does that mean that by then, General Li, the barbarian may have disappeared?" Wang Xiujin grasped the point. What Li Sushan can think of, General Li can't think of?So why make another trip?

"The battle with the barbarians will be fought sooner or later. The border land was drawn out by them, but they never thought that the border people will become fed and clothed. I'm afraid they will regret it long ago, but they can't make it clear, they can only apply it. The old way was to grab some and run away, but this time they stumbled. When the fourth prince was in office, he repaired the city wall of the border gate. They would definitely not get it right. If they went to Chuanning , with General Song around, they won't be able to get a bargain, and they will lose a lot..." When mentioning the war, Li Sushan began to popularize some things he could know to Wang Xiujin. It's really ruthless, to repair the city wall, could it be that he wants to repair the Great Wall outside?

The two of them sat in the tailor shop for a long time, one talking and the other listening, until the tailor said he had figured out a way and could try it.The two got up at the same time, but Li Sushan didn't say anything. After all, the tailor shop is Wang Xiujin's property.Wang Xiujin knew that Li Su was in a hurry and that the matter was of great importance, so he said directly, "Master, you can let go and do it. Just talk about what you need, and I will find someone."

The master immediately pulled out the list, which not only contained clothing materials, but also some herbs. Wang Xiujin would not ask more questions, and went to buy things according to the list. Li Sushan also wrote down all the items on the list. If there were some items that were not available in the market, Li Sushan would know I went to find my dad and asked if I could get it for me. On the night of the New Year's Eve, these things came into the hands of the master.The masters also knew that this matter was urgent, and they didn't think about the matter of the year. On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Xiujin received the news from the masters that he had made a piece of armor and needed someone to try it on.

Wang Xiujin sent someone to go to the general's mansion, sent the news to Li Sushan, and then went straight to the clothing store. It was easy to try on the armor, as long as Li Sushan came with a knife and waved it at the clothes, he would know if it would work.After the clothes are made, the masters have tried some sharp things, and the effect is not bad, but because they don't have weapons like knives and guns, they can't guarantee whether they can defend against nothing.

If it is said to be [-]% defensive, it is unlikely, unless it is a copper wall and iron wall, which can make it invulnerable. The clothes made by the masters are quite good if they can be protected once or twice.When Li Sushan was not here, Wang Xiujin tried wearing the armor on his body. The clothes were still a bit heavy, but compared with the armor, they were much lighter.The master explained to Wang Xiujin what was sewn inside the clothes. The rattan that Wang Xiujin had thought of was really inside. The clothes were sewn with rattan and placed in the middle. Two layers of cotton were wadding inside and outside. In the same way, the clothes can be worn both inside and outside.

The master also explained the idea of ​​making them. Clothes are not easy to make, even if you don’t do other things, it will take a lot of time just to make them. When they can make the supply, the soldiers in front will not know how to charge several times.It is convenient for soldiers to make it reversible. If the outside is scratched and they can’t sew clothes, they can change the outside to the inside, and they can still wear it in the next charge. But if the rattan in the middle is scratched, the armor is useless. It works.

"Okay!" Old General Li said angrily.

All the people in the shop looked over. Wang Xiujin didn't expect General Li to come over, so he hurriedly stood up and saluted. First, he wished the New Year and said some festive words, and then he talked about the armor.Old General Li looked at the armor on Wang Xiujin's body, it didn't look heavy, "Come on, let me try."

Wang Xiujin hurriedly took off the armor, and several masters were busy helping the old general put on the armor. Wang Xiujin's clothes looked a little big, but it didn't look big at all on the old general, regardless of the old general's age. He is old, but his body is well maintained, without any fat.After the old general put on his armor, he even played some fists. "Armor is good, but it's okay to wear in winter, and it's barely enough in spring and autumn, but it's thicker in summer, and the war is the least in winter."

"At that time, we can only use the rattan armor in the middle, but the rattan needs to be replaced with thicker ones, which will be heavier than now." The garment maker explained to the old general. "Thick iron can also be added to the front and rear to greatly increase the protection of the armor."

"The protection is great, but it may be difficult for soldiers to run." Old General Li frowned. He also knew that he had more requirements. Compared with the current soldiers who have no protection at all, the appearance of armor, It has already made it possible for more soldiers to survive.

"Grandfather, summer armor can be studied slowly, and now we should try whether the armor can protect it." Li Sushan, who came over with a knife and gun, stepped forward, wanting to ask his grandfather to take off the armor, but he didn't expect his grandfather to open it directly. After saying a word, let him greet his body, Li Sushan dared not attack his grandfather, and immediately knelt down in fright.

"Grandpa, you want to shorten the life of the younger generation for the Chinese New Year!" Wang Xiujin said from the side, he always thought that General Li was a very thoughtful person, how could he say such outrageous words today.

Old General Li also knew that he had said something wrong, "It's New Year's Eve, you said a joke, why did you take it seriously, get up and get up quickly."

"There are wooden clothes racks in the shop. You can try putting the armor on the dummy." Wang Xiujin hurriedly asked the shop assistants to bring the dummy over, and several masters were busy taking off the armor on the old general. Down.

After putting the armor on the stake, Li Sushan took up the gun and tried it. It seemed that the shot was quite forceful, but it did not penetrate the armor. .Old General Li hurriedly asked his grandson to try the knife. Li Sushan not only tried the knife, but also tried the dagger. The dagger did more damage, and a cotton wool flew out, but the rattan inside was not broken, only a scratch was left.

"Okay, okay, okay." Old General Li was very excited, his eye circles were red, he turned around and patted Wang Xiujin, "Good boy, bring your armor into the palace with this old man."

Wang Xiujin was a little dazed, today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor was exempted from the annual palace banquet because of the war, isn't it a good time to enter the palace now?

"This is a happy event, you should report it to the emperor." Old General Li had a smile on his face. "Son, you still have to give credit to these masters."

Gong must be invited, he originally thought about entering the palace after the seventh day of the lunar new year, but now there is no need to wait, he will enter the palace with Old General Li.Old General Li led Wang Xiujin to the front, and after walking a few steps, he thought of his grandson, "Put on your armor."

Li Sushan put on his armor and followed the two silently. It is a good thing for his daughter-in-law to be liked by his grandfather. With his current ability, he still needs the help of his grandfather to protect his daughter-in-law.
