Chapter 271 General Yuwen, come on, make a miracle
Chapter 271
Yang Xuangan's face darkened, and his tone suddenly became a little more annoyed. "Why do you want to burn it?"
"Chu Gong, because the official and my father are both officials of the Sui Dynasty, we can only burn them." Yang Qian said without being humble or arrogant.
"What does this have to do with whether your father and son are ministers of the Sui Dynasty?" Yang Xuangan's face was no longer gloomy, but began to turn dark.
What do you mean by this little brat? You're just teasing me, right?
Yang Ning stepped forward and ignored the dark-faced Yang Xuangan. Instead, he saluted Yang Guang and explained calmly.
"Your Majesty, according to our Sui Dynasty laws, privately forging armor is a serious crime. What I and my dog did was just due to a momentary mistake and curiosity.
I want to give it a try to see if paper can be used as a substitute for armor. Now that I have reached the conclusion and solved my doubts, I naturally will not keep it, and I will naturally burn it to prevent it from being true."
"..." Yang Xuangan looked at Yang Ning and then at Yang Qian. Finally, he nodded reluctantly, stepped back, and said no more.
Yu Shiji saw that the emperor was still playing with the sword without saying a word. He knew clearly that it was time for him to stand up.
"I dare to ask Mr. Yang, since you and your son have tried to use paper instead of armor, why don't you go to court?"
"Yu Guanglu, it's not that I don't want to, but that I dare not..." Yang Ning glanced at his son Yang Qian beside him. In fact, it wasn't that he didn't dare, but that he couldn't.
Just half an hour ago, I didn't even know that there was such a thing as using paper to replace armor, so how could I report it?
"Oh? Why don't you dare?" Yang Guang then returned the sword in his hand to the sheath and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Your Majesty, in fact, it is still the same saying, paper replaces armor. If these words are said out loud, they will most likely become a laughing stock. Therefore, my father has always been very hesitant.
I am just worried that someone will be accused of bullying me. If the Duke of Chu had not said that I should wear clothes instead of armor today, my subordinates would not have subconsciously made a blunder..."
There is nothing wrong with what he said, and Yang Guang also felt that if he heard this on a daily basis, he would definitely think that the person who said this was not thinking.
Besides, if Yang Xuangan hadn't criticized Yang Ning just now, Yang Qian, a filial son, would probably not have spoken out rashly.
Thinking about this, Yang Guang stroked his thick beard and said calmly, "Since you have said it, shouldn't you let me take a look?"
"Of course it should be, but I need some materials, paper, and long nails about an inch long, and I also need some silk and satin. By the way, I still need paste. If not, even porridge and water will do.
.”
"Of course, you don't need any good paper, even used waste paper is fine."
#####
"Come here, go get some books and a piece of silk." Yang Guang raised his chin disapprovingly.
The eunuch beside him immediately took the order and left. After a while, he brought several books, a piece of silk, and of course a pair of scissors.
Yang Qian first saluted Yang Ning. "Father, let the child do this."
Yang Ning laughed and nodded slightly, but his expression was emotionless. Even if you asked me to do it, I wouldn't do it...
Yang Qian then asked the eunuch to bring him a basin of porridge that had been boiled to a pulp. Then he cut the books open, soaked them one by one, and then placed them on a wooden board that was flat on the ground.
For every ten pieces of paper, a piece of silk silk cut to the size of a book is laid on it, and then continues, overlapping in this way.
It didn't take much effort to stack it up to a sufficient thickness, and then placed a wooden board on top, and asked a heavily armored Senniu to jump on it like a fool for a long time.
After the people left, the wooden boards were moved away and continued to be stacked until they were thick enough. This was repeated three times before Yang Qian pounded in the iron nails and fastened the paper tightly to the wooden boards.
"Your Majesty, due to time constraints, I can only temporarily produce a sample according to the previous method."
"Is this good?"
Yang Guang put his hands behind his back and glanced at the stack of papers that had been squeezed in his hands and nailed tightly to the board with long nails. He always felt something was wrong.
"Of course not. In fact, it still needs to be dried in the shade, and the size is preferably about one inch. However, even so, it is enough for testing."
"You mean, after you do this, this paper will be able to stop arrows?"
Yu Wen Chengji, a thousand-year veteran who claimed to be the bravest in the army, took a few steps forward and pointed at Shang Zi along the wooden plank with contempt and ridicule on his face.
The piece of paper was slowly dripping with porridge water, and he doubted that he could even pierce it with his fingers.
"Of course not. Not only arrows, but also swords and axes can't penetrate the armor."
Yang Qian shook his head slowly, gently scraped off the uncooked millet grains on the paper with his fingers, and flicked his fingers casually...
It just stuck to Yuwen Chengji's shoe.
"!!!" Yuwen Chengji went crazy. "Yang! Qian!"
"Why is General Yuwen so angry?" Yang Qian looked at Yuwen Chengji, who was holding a long sword on his waist and furious.
What do you mean, I just said that the defense of the things I made is amazing, well, am I going to attract you or provoke you?
"What are you doing? I'm here, it's not your turn to make such a loud noise." Yang Guang couldn't help but show displeasure, and glared at Yuwen Chengji fiercely.
#####
Seeing Yang Guang's expression, Yuwen Chengji pointed to his shoes and then to Yang Qian. In the end, he could only bow to Yang Guang angrily and retreat to the queue of Qian Niu.
Yang Guang clasped his hands, his expression still ugly. He looked at the wet paper soaked in porridge water...
One is for writing, and the other is for eating. With these two things, you actually told me that it can resist swords and arrows?
Yang Qian naturally saw Yang Guang's dark face, and of course he could not let the face of the Sui Emperor continue to darken.
Otherwise, the next ones with disheveled hair will be myself and my biological father.
"Your Majesty, this is only a semi-finished product and needs to be placed in a place without sunlight to dry.
However, even if it is a semi-finished product, it can already withstand swords and arrows. Please give it your majesty’s approval and ask the warriors in the palace to give it a try.”
Yang Guang turned his head and looked at Yang Qian. "If you deceive me, don't blame me for being unkind."
"I am magnanimous and do not dare to deceive the emperor." Yang Qian looked at the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty with a magnanimous face and magnanimous eyes.
"Okay, gentlemen, who wants to try out Xiao Yangqing's paper armor?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to give it a try." Yuwen Chengji, who had a livid face and was indifferent to Yang Qian's actions just now, shouted loudly before everyone else.
Yang Xuangan stroked his thick beard and smiled approvingly. "Your Majesty, young General Yuwen has bravely fought in the three armies and has the courage to be unstoppable by ten thousand men. It is most fair for him to try."
"Okay." Yang Guangda waved his hand and returned to the couch to sit down.
Yu Wen Chengji held a hard bow in his hand, waiting for several companions, and erected the wooden board with paper armor in the direction of the main door of the Nuan Pavilion.
Then he glanced at Yang Qian who was standing next to him demonstratively, and gently pulled the bowstring.
Seeing General Yuwen's demonstrative gaze, Yang Qian laughed and raised his right hand towards him and clenched it into a fist.
"General Yuwen, come on, remember, hard work can produce miracles."
