Chapter 417 Mass production is not possible, so is a cottage
Xiao Tang couldn't help but feel surprised when Xu Ning presented his family heirloom armor to him. Because he knew how much Xu Ning cherished and loved this golden armor made of wild goose feathers.
Many dignitaries in the imperial court wanted to get Xu Ning, a treasure that had been handed down from their ancestors for four generations. However, many princes and grandsons offered huge sums of money to buy Xu Ning, but they refused. Normally, he would never lend it out to outsiders for observation.
Xu Ning originally wanted to have this armor in case he had to fight on the battlefield in the future, but he also knew that he was just an instructor of the golden gun class of the former division of Bianjing Palace, but as a person who was only responsible for the military
An officer of the Imperial Guard Ban Zhi, Xu Ning at that time only wanted to do his job in the Bianjing Forbidden Army and accompany his wife and children to live a stable life. He also knew very well that the possibility of leading troops on an expedition was slim.
.....
Therefore, to Xu Ning, this armor is more like a treasure that he treasures, rather than a armor that he relies on in battles.
It was precisely because of this pair of golden armor made of wild goose feathers that Xu Ning was promoted to Liangshan by Song Jiang and Wu Yong. Although Xu Ning, who was drifting with the crowd, succumbed to his fate of being falsely accused of being a thief, he must still be against Song Jiang and others in his heart.
Luocao was resentful for his methods, so when he later fought for Liangshan, he always wore this armor on Xu Ning. After surrendering to the mountain, Xu Ning's spirits were waning, so how could he offer Song Jiang the treasure that he couldn't put down?
, seeking a higher position in Shuibo Liangshan, which he had no intention of joining?
Just like the demigod warrior Achilles in Greek mythology, although he was baptized by the water of Styx after birth, making him invulnerable and invincible. However, the only heel of Achilles that was not soaked in the water of Styx was struck by the enemy.
Injured by an arrow, it was as if the heroic and invincible Xu Ning had died in battle. When Xu Ning was conquering Fang La while wearing invulnerable armor, he was hit by a stray medicine arrow in the neck area that could not be protected by the golden armor of the wild goose feather circle. He became a
The first general who died in the battle of Liangshan.
I think that during the half-month period when Xu Ning was struggling to death behind the arrow of Chinese medicine, he was still complaining in his heart that he, a guard officer in front of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, was forced to live in Song Jiang like a green forest...
What forces Xu Ning to die now is not Song Jiang, who does everything possible to recruit talented people from all over the world, but Gao Qiu, who uses all possible means to exclude dissidents from the Bianjing Forbidden Army. This golden spear general is another
After being rescued by Xiao Tang, his mentality has naturally changed greatly compared to the original work. Xu Ning willingly gave his precious armor as a gift, which actually means that this hot-blooded man is willing to entrust his life to
Xiao Tang.
"Brother Xu Ning, I understand your intentions, but I cannot accept this family heirloom of yours."
Although Xiao Tang could understand Xu Ning's thoughts, he still shook his head and said: "A gentleman does not win the love of others, and I also know how precious this armor is to brother Xu Ning. Since he is his own brother, I
How can we ask brothers to cut off their love and give each other their own treasures?"
Xu Ning was persecuted and imprisoned. This treasured armor was also taken away by Gao Qiu, which almost caused his family to be destroyed. After the disaster, Xu Ning has become much more open-minded about the world, and he understands that if
Without Xiao Tang's rescue, this pair of golden armor with wild goose feathers would not only become Gao Qiu's plaything, but even his beloved wife and child might be in danger. Even if Xu Ning regarded this pair of armor as a treasure in the past, it is unthinkable that
Xiao Tang's great kindness to his family was nothing but a piece of armor.
Thinking of this, Xu Ning hurriedly said to Xiao Tang: "Brother, I am willing to rebuild Xu Ning's family, let alone a pair of armor. Even if I go through fire and water, I, Xu Ning, will not hesitate. Now that I have sent you sincerely, how can I take it back?" The truth? I just hope that my brother will accept it!"
Xiao Tang and Xu Ning were in a stalemate for a while, but at this moment Tang Long suddenly said: "You two brothers should stop fighting. I have a way..."
After Xu Ning heard this, he frowned and looked at Tang Long and asked, "Brother, what do you have in mind?"
Tang Long grinned and said: "Brother, my father couldn't praise your treasure armor enough after seeing it. I also begged my brother hard back then, and he allowed me to take a look. Brother is not coveting my treasure armor, it's just that I learned the art of blacksmithing and forging soldiers. When I was tired of the skills, I always wondered what kind of good steel material my brother should use for this family heirloom armor, how to quench and forge it, and how to control the strength of the steel-making heat. And how to weave the armor pieces...in order to make this armor that is not immune to arrows but is very light.
It’s just that at that time, my elder brother loved this armor as much as he loved me, and refused to let his younger brother see it more. Today, one of the two elder brothers insisted on giving me this golden armor with wild goose feathers, but the other refused to accept it. Since it’s so embarrassing, can my younger brother take it first? Come and observe, see the craftsmanship of this armor, and see if you can make a few more."
Xu Ning couldn't help but smile when he heard Tang Long mention the past when he cherished this armor so much. Xiao Tang was surprised when he heard it and said: "Brother Tang Long, this pair of gold armor with wild goose feathers can be said to be an extremely rare treasure." , how can it be easily recreated?”
Tang Long chuckled and said: "Brother Xiao Tang, to build weapons in this season, you don't have to be like Ou Yezi or General Mo Xie to sharpen the edge with essence and blood to forge swords. Divine weapons and armor are rare, but as long as someone can do it, Yes, others can do it as well. But if you want to create a pair of rare treasure armor, there are many things to pay attention to. Whether it is the choice of iron material, the shape of the iron mold, the tools used for blacksmithing, or the high temperature of the forging. .....Nothing can be ignored.
However, I have been making military armor for a long time in Yan'an Mansion, and I have passed through many precious armors. If I were to take a closer look at the workmanship of this golden armor with a feather ring, I can't guarantee that I can make it again. Such armor is difficult to penetrate with swords and guns, yet is light and agile. But it shouldn’t be difficult for me to imitate the craftsmanship of this armor and make a batch of light and strong armors.”
Xiao Tang immediately realized that Tang Long's method was excellent. Even if the armor was very precious and could not be mass-produced, for Tang Long, who was already proficient in making military armor, if he could really figure out this Using the materials of the Yan Fei Circle Golden Armor, and then imitating its workmanship to create a batch of armor that is stronger and more flexible than ordinary armor, and allows the brothers under his command to move more easily. This does not also mean that the horses under his command When the army and infantry leaders charge into battle, not only can their combat effectiveness be improved due to their flexibility, but they can also relatively reduce the probability of their own casualties?
“Brother Tang Long’s idea is very suitable to my liking!”
Xiao Tang praised again: "If Brother Tang Long can really draw parallels and create a batch of good armor based on the golden armor of wild goose feathers, it will be a great achievement! ...Brother Xu Ning, This is a major matter for me and my brothers to avoid the disaster of swords when we fight in the future. Then I will ask Brother Tang Long for a pair of treasure armor, and this pair of gold armor with wild goose feathers is after all a family treasure passed down from your ancestors. , for brothers, how can it be an armor that protects against knives and arrows? This armor will be handed over to Brother Tang Long for observation first. When I fight the enemy side by side with you in the future, Brother Xu Ning will have to wear this armor and perform great feats! "
Xu Ning heard what Xiao Tang said was reasonable. This golden armor with golden feathers would be more useful for this purpose. He looked impressed and no longer insisted. He nodded to Xiao Tang and put the armor away.
It was handed over to Tang Long.
Xiao Tang turned around and looked at the brothers in the Yinmachuan meeting hall, and said loudly: "Everything else has been discussed. Now that the time and place have been agreed upon, let's prepare all the people and go to meet Wang Bolong."
