In a corner of Taicheng, Chen Qian, the new Jingling County Governor who came to lead the army, came to the warehouse with her entourage under the guidance of the Bureau.

I chatted with a few officials in charge of the warehouse, but for some reason I kept slowing down and not doing serious business.

It seems like I'm here to chat.

Chen Xu, who followed his brother, was unhappy when he saw this, but Chen Qian rushed to signal her followers to give the "meaning" to the classic before her brother spoke.

The classic story took "meaning" but no "meaning". When the follower saw Chen Qian winked again, he also stuffed the other officials with "meaning".

The officials felt that the new county magistrate was very sensible, so they quickly opened the warehouse and distributed troops to the other party according to the contents of the official documents.

Of course, there are followers who do rough work, including carrying weapons and armor. Chen Qian took this trip in person and forced her to come, of course, so that her brother can also see what "rules" are.

Although Chen Xu knew this kind of dirty officialdom, his personal experience was completely different from hearing.

The soldiers served the imperial court, and had to bribe the officials in the treasury. Such "rules" made him hate them deeply.

"That's it. You've experienced a lot, so it's no wonder." Chen Qian whispered, and walked into the warehouse with her younger brother.

He wanted to let his younger brother see more and know some "rules", so as to avoid being careless in the future and being stumped without knowing it.

For example, this time, Chen Qian was going to Jingling Prefecture on the Han River and took her battalions and service to Bai Zhi, and got the commander of the military service to lead the weapons.

According to the rules, money must be made. Only in this way can we get weapons and armor, rather than rust iron sheets and moldy rotten armor.

This rule must be abide by anyone when they come. Even if the two brothers are the nephews of the new leader General Chen Baxian, they must abide by this rule when they come to the bureau.

If you don’t have “intentional meaning”, that is “not intent”, so don’t think about getting good weapons and armor.

With the "meaning", things went smoothly. The original stern story was obviously much more enthusiastic. The knife, shield and armor that people took out were very well-made.

Chen Xu looked carefully and asked, "Does there be cloth armor?"

"Cloth-surface armor?" Dianshi thought about it after hearing this and replied: "Yes, there are, but there are only a small number, because no one uses them."

When he learned that Chen Xu just wanted to see the cloth armor, he asked someone to bring a set of cloth armor, put it on it, and then introduce it.

"This cloth-surface armor is made of a rivet leaf on the inner side of the cloth. It is simple to make and strong, but it is covered with panic. It is a lot hotter to wear this kind of armor in summer. It is much hotter than wearing a zither armor."

Chen Xu looked at the cloth armor carefully. He had heard of this kind of armor before, but he had never seen the real thing.

"I heard that Xuzhou Military Mansion is equipped with this kind of armor?" Chen Xu touched the lining of the cloth armor, and kept asking questions, and the classic answer:

"Well, this is the armor made by the Xuzhou Military Mansion. After all, it is north. It is colder in winter and not so wet and hot in summer. But I heard that this spring and summer, the government army and the Qi army were fighting each other, and the cloth armor was still hot when worn."

"Then, this trouser..." Chen Xu took down the funnel-shaped helmet and took it in his hand to look at it: "Why is it like this? There is a long pole on it?"

He touched the protective surface under the helmet again: "Is this a suffocation? Can it cover the face?"

"Haha, what the husband said is very much, as for the shape..." The story is introduced, "What about this funnel helmet, does it look a bit strange, right? But this spire is good."

The classic put the helmet on the table, picked up a small hammer, raised it, and pointed it at the helmet to make a blow: "Look, the cavalry used a wooden stick and an iron hammer to hit the helmet that the infantry was wearing. Because it was a spire, it was smashed down..."

Chen Xu could see clearly that the small hammer would slide out of the spire from top to bottom, so the person wearing a zither (helmet) would escape the disaster.

The purpose of the spire is to prevent smashing.

"As for the long pole above, it is actually a flagpole. You can place a small flag to show your identity, such as the team leader, so that your subordinates can see who is the leader."

Chen Xu asked again: "But if someone catches this small flagpole during the war, wouldn't it be?"

"Mr. I was joking. If I fight one-on-one, I will grab the small flagpole on the helmet, which does not mean..." Dianshi grabbed the 'flag pole' on the helmet and smiled and said, "Didn't it reveal the armpit?"

"The armored soldier's armpit is usually flawed, exposed, and stabbed with a knife or dagger, at least seriously injured."

"If there were a few besieges, it doesn't matter whether the flagpole on the helmet would be caught."

So that's it, Chen Xu nodded, and now he understood.

The equipment of the Xuzhou army is somewhat different from other official troops, especially armor.

Chen Xu always heard that the governor of Xuzhou and Duke Xinping were brave and good at fighting, and he could not see it with his own eyes. Now he saw the cloth armor, which was a glimpse of the leopard.

As the saying goes, "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapons." Xinping Gong was so concerned about improving weapons and armor, and I thought he really had experience in fighting.

The Xuzhou army under his command is strong.

Of course, the strength was strong. At the beginning of this year, the Qi army invaded, and Duke Xinping led his army to fight, defeating three enemy troops in succession, and also capturing northern Xuzhou and southern Qingzhou, with great military achievements.

It is said that Xinping Duke Li Li is 27 years old this year, and Chen Xu, who is two years younger than him, feels that he is far behind in comparison.

When Duke Xinping was twenty-five, he was fighting with the Qi army in Xuzhou. He conquered two powerful troops of Qi State and guarded Hanshan, making the Qi leader who was in charge of the imperial army in person return in vain. Such a record is really enviable.

Going forward, there are many military achievements. In contrast, Chen Xu feels that he still needs to work hard.

He and his brother were appointed by the court through the achievements made by his uncle Chen Baxian. Now that his brother is in the place outside and has begun to guard the country, he is an official in Beijing, and he does not know when he will make a difference.

Looking at the smiling story of the man in front of him and what he saw and heard just now, Chen Xu felt that perhaps they still had a chance to show their skills.

In charge of military affairs, people dare to ask for bribes to the court officials who came to take weapons. However, people are used to this, which shows how corrupt the government is.

Jiankang, who was tortured by Hou Jing's traitor, now looks like Hou Jing's rebellion, with flowers blooming like before Hou Jing's rebellion.

But what does the royal family who are still arrogant and domineering in the city, the children of the A clan, those wealthy families who live and dream of living a lot every day, the old customs and habits of various government offices, and the beggars gathering in the streets and alleys show?

Chen Xu, who had settled in Jiankang with his inner wife Qian, looked at the scenes in Jiankang City and felt that the country was probably...

It is very likely that just like a patient with a red face after a serious illness, it is actually a rebirth.

The wounds, abscesses, and bruises on the skin have indeed healed, but the lesions are not on the skin, but in the internal organs in the body.

The soldiers who are fighting abroad, no matter how hard they try, they cannot eliminate the lesions in their bodies. Just like the ring-headed sword can defend against the enemy, but they cannot eliminate the lesions in their bodies.

So, are people who can eliminate the lesions aware of this problem?

Just as I was distracted, the story was made to bring a ring-headed knife. After drawing the knife out of the sheath, the blade flashed coldly.

"This is a water-sharpening knife. Use water to sharpen the blade. Look, the two-inch back of the knife tip is also opened, which is called the reverse blade."

The classic story carefully introduces: "The advantage of anti-blade is that it can be picked after slashing, and it can be injured by anti-blade."

"It was originally made of the Yanling Knife, but since it is easy to use and easy to open, it can also have a ring-headed knife."

The governor of Xuzhou and the Duke of Xinping Li Li offered a geese feather knife. Chen Xu heard about this. He heard that the front end of the geese feather knife was slightly bent, not a straight knife, so he became interested: "I wonder if there is a geese feather knife?"

"Not yet. After all, there is still controversy over whether this knife is good or not. The ring-headed sword has been used since ancient times. Why bother with it when used properly?"

As the story was spoken, he laughed: "Over the years, if the knife maker makes a knife, if the knife strip is not well controlled, it will be easy to bend, and it will have to be straightened. The end of the goose feather knife has an arc, which will inevitably be troublesome to do. Why change it?"

Chen Xu looked at the ring-headed sword with a reverse blade in his hand, thinking about what the classic said, and was a little distracted.

‘It has always been like this, and it’s not that it’s impossible to use it (live), why change it?’

Is this really the case?
