Volume 1 Chapter 244 Father's Inheritance
Her voice spoke slowly, in the memory, as if she had once again experienced that bloody and terrible breakthrough, looking at her hand that had been placed outside the quilt, already clenched so tightly that it had lost its bloody hand, I couldn't help but gently hold her.
Her hand trembled slightly, fortunately, she didn't break away, and gradually, she let go of her fist, and there was fine sweat on the palm of her cold little hand, which looked slightly slippery and soft.
“…… I killed five men and jumped over the opposite wall, but they, in order to protect me, could not jump, so I could only run, and keep running, looking back, hoping to see them, but I saw only a few soldiers, exposed on the wall, shouting loudly, and opening their bows at me."
"Okay, it's all over, relax, okay?" I gently touched her cool hand, my heart was very sour, but there was no way to dispel the fear in her heart. This is what she has experienced, and she can only face all this with her own courage, hoping that in the future, she can forget all this, at least, she still has a long way to go.
"Later, I finally got rid of them, but I had nowhere to go, but I didn't expect that when I met your soldiers, you let him pass, right?" Speaking of this, Sister Qingxia turned her face slightly and smiled at me.
Feeling the slight force of her slender hand in my palm, I nodded slightly. I want to say something, but at this moment, I don't know what to say.
"Thank you, thank you, if it weren't for you, Son, even if I escaped, I wouldn't be able to escape far......" At this moment, the smile on her pretty face, which was so white and slightly blue, looked so poignant.
"You're welcome, okay, take care of your injuries, no matter what, you're safe. When you can move, I'll take you to a quieter place to recuperate. I patted the back of her hand lightly, and I could see that she was not only seriously injured, but also had lost so much blood that she had to recuperate for a while.
I withdrew from the inner room, thought about it, and whispered to the daughter of Doctor Zhao beside me: "During this time, just watch her well, and when the danger period is over, send her to the mansion, do you know the way?" ”
"Childe, what is the danger period?" This girl looked confused, and yes, many medical terms in this era have not yet appeared.
"It's that she doesn't have a fever, her wounds don't suppurate, and she can eat, which means that the danger period has passed." I'm not a professional medical doctorate, so I don't know how many ways to go, so after a casual flicker, I went out of the room.
"Boy, do you look like this girl?" Not far from the room, Ben Gongzi smiled lewdly at Li Yuanfang.
"How can there be, small, small......" Li Yuanfang's face was slightly red, and he stammered a little when he spoke.
"Don't talk nonsense to me, I think that little girl seems to have feelings for you too, you're nineteen now, right? It's time to get married, if you really like her, tell this son, when this matter is over, I'll tell you what about the matchmaker? "This girl's dead duck has a hard mouth, and it's a big guy, if you like it, you like it, and you're afraid of hair. This son is not the kind of pervert who likes to beat mandarin ducks.
The answer was a speechless smirk, forget it, just take it as this girl's acquiescence. After going out of here, I returned to the house, and before I could go far, I met the old housekeeper Li Yan. "Childe, Madame came to you and said she had something to ask you."
"Well, Cheng, then I'll go first. By the way, old butler, there is one more thing to worry about you, pick out five hundred family soldiers, let them be on standby at any time, tomorrow, I'm afraid I will start to make a big move. ”
"Don't worry, Childe, I'll do it now." Li Yan raised his eyebrows, and after receiving the order, he hurried away, while I walked to the courtyard where my mother was. As soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother and sister sitting together, as for my grandmother and aunt didn't see it, which made me breathe a sigh of relief, well, it is easier to convince one person first than to convince a team.
"Mother, why don't you go to rest." I walked into the room and said with a smile on my face.
"Come and sit down, I'm tired of you these days." My mother beckoned me to sit down beside her, looking up at me carefully. "There is a lot of chaos in the city, my mother heard what Aunt Dou said, that the Duke of Chu actually wants to lead a large army to attack Luoyang."
"Yes, mother, the child entered the palace today for this purpose." I nodded and smiled, "Originally, the child let those tenants into the city just to be a precaution, but now, it really works." ”
"You did the right thing, but now there are not many soldiers and horses in Luoyang City." The mother sighed a little gloomily.
"Mother, it's okay, there are a lot of nobles in the city, and today's king Yue of the prison country has ordered that a noble minister and family in Luoyang City should go to the city to guard. The children should also bring our family soldiers to meet the situation. I tried to speak as easily as possible, and winked at the girl, this girl pouted, and gave me a white look, but after all, I still said some good things for me.
"Well, my son is a man, how can he be willing to be the queen, you can go tomorrow, by the way, Shiro, you wait a minute. Go with your mother to get something. My mother patted my hand, as if she had thought of something again.
I followed my mother into the inner room, and I saw my mother walking towards the armor located in the corner of the inner room. It was a pair of bright light armor, and the oily armor on the armor reflected the light of the oil lamp in the room, which was very dazzling.
Next to it, there is even a shelf in the shape of a horse, on which is covered with a set of horse armor. Every time I see this set of horse armor, my son will be amazed, the ancient Chinese horse armor is very different from the Western horse armor, at least very different from the European medieval horse armor.
In ancient China, horse armor was generally divided into two categories, one was used to protect chariot horses, and the other was used to protect cavalry horses. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, chariots were the main equipment of the army, and vests were used to protect the chariot horses. It is mainly leather, lacquered and often delicately painted. It is divided into two parts, which protect the horse's head and torso.
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, cavalry has become an important branch of the army. The vest was used to protect the cavalry's riding horses. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, vests that played a part of the protective role were already used, such as the leather "dang chest" that protected the front chest of horses.
In the Three Kingdoms period, it was recorded in the literature that there were full horse armors. From the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the role of cavalry was greatly improved, and the heavy armored cavalry of men and horses was formed: the armor and cavalry were equipped, and the structure of the horse armor was becoming more and more complete, and from then on it was called the armor or horse harness.
The armor is made of iron and leather, and is generally composed of 6 parts: the "face curtain" that protects the horse's head, the "chicken neck" that protects the horse's neck, the "dang chest" that protects the horse's chest, the "horse body armor" that protects the body, the "back" that protects the horse's hips, and the "parasitic" that is erected on the tail, so that the whole body of the war horse is protected by armor in addition to the ears, eyes, mouth, nose, limbs, and tail.
After the Sui Dynasty, the number of heavily armored cavalry gradually decreased, but horse armor was still a type of protective equipment used in the army. In the wars between the Song, Liao, and Jin, cavalry equipped with horse armor was used by all warring parties.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the cavalry's war horses generally no longer wore this kind of bulky vest.
In fact, it should be said that when Mongolian horses became more and more mainstream riding animals on the steppe, Mongolian horses were very short, with an average weight of only about 300 kilograms. If the weight of the cavalry is measured in fifty-five kilograms, the total weight of its equipment is measured in twenty kilograms, and the horse armor, as mentioned above, is measured in forty kilograms, so that if the horse is clothed in armor, the load exceeds one-third of its weight, which is indeed a heavy burden, and even if it is barely bearable, its mobility will be greatly affected.
This can not but be said to be a kind of speechless and helpless regret, if it is said that on the land of China, grazing are Dawan horses or Arab horses, maybe the ancient Chinese horse armor will definitely develop and grow earlier than the West.
"Shiro, what are you looking at?" Just when Ben Gongzi stared brightly at this horse armor with leather as the base, made of metal curtain, and inlaid with steel plates on the chest, the mother finally couldn't help but sigh
"The child is looking at this horse armor." I stood up with a laugh and walked over to my mother, and the girl looked envious and jealous, looking at me and at this set of armor.
"It seems to be a little older, but unfortunately I don't have time to change it for you." My mother stroked the hanging armor, looked back at me, and couldn't help but be a little depressed. "These people are too, they want you to go to the battlefield, and they don't say hello in advance, so anxious."
"Mother, it's no wonder, who let the Chu State Guild really rush to Luoyang. By the way, mother, how tall is my father? I laughed twice, then patted the armor and asked.
"Your father's height is more than six feet, and now you, I'm afraid that you are only a little more than five and a half feet (one foot is about twenty-nine centimeters), will it seem too big?" My mother looked me up and down, and her brows furrowed more and more.
"It's okay to be a mother, the older the bigger, the child will grow up in the future, don't worry." The height of Ben Gongzi is already almost 1.7 meters, I can't wait, in the past, my mother never allowed me to touch this set of armor, although the harm of Ben Gongzi is extremely hot, but can only stare. If you dare to mess around, the mother who seems to have a soft temperament will start a fire, and this son will not be able to do it.
And today I finally seized the opportunity, how could my son let it go? I can't wait for my mother to get this thing on me now, think about the future generations, this kind of bright light armor made by those art masters, it is said that online shopping needs to sell a set of 80,000 soft girl coins, grandma's, this kind of poor lewd can only look at the greed.
"Well, like your father, you're going to wear it after all. It makes no difference if it's one day in the evening or one day in the morning. My mother patted me lightly on the shoulder, there was mist in my eyes, and I could only laugh and say: "Mother, you can rest assured, the child is not a warrior like Brother Hongji, he wants to make contributions to the battlefield, and the child prefers to stay behind and make suggestions, not to fight or grab, but also to have great credit." ”
