Due to the expansion of the Han military flag, many elderly people in the Han military flag naturally had the opportunity to rise. Niumantun was promoted now!

Niu Mantun himself has good martial arts skills and is married to the Jurchens, which is half his own. In addition, he once had great achievements first, so now Niu Mantun is an armored man of the Han army flag!

Moreover, Niu Mantun also knew to gather people who were useful to him. His neighbors Zhang Liang and Song Yonglian are now his confidants.

Niu Mantun used to save the lives of their families when Nurhaci killed Wuguren, so Zhang Liang and Song Yonglian were loyal to Niu Mantun! Niu Mantun really established a small force in the army with their two people, and had a little reputation.

Niumentun has lived a very comfortable life in recent years. Due to the lack of war, Niumentun has enough time to farm at home, so Niumentun has brought six Ahas from his family to a good harvest.

But Niu Mantun no longer cares about farming. He often practices martial arts. He knows how his life comes about, which is what Gan Delung earns with a sword after he starts to teach him how to fight!

Niu Mantun now figured it out. He no longer cared about fighting with the Han people. In his opinion, it doesn’t matter whether the Han people or the Manchus are emperors. Anyway, it’s not his own. No matter who is in the world, he has to hand over the food, right?

So living a peaceful life with your own knife is what he should do. Besides, he already has a son, so he must plan for his son and earn more property.

It was the end of June, and the farm work in the fields was no longer very busy. In order to train himself, Niu Mantun went to hunt in the forest. However, Zhang Liang and Song Yonglian did not follow him. Their family had just returned with Niu Mantun's strength, and it was still a bit difficult. So both of them stayed at home to take care of the crops.

In the evening, Niu Mantun came back from the forest on a horse with two rabbits and a grouse tied to the horse's back. Niu Mantun now is no longer the way he was when he first started learning martial arts. In recent years, he has practiced hard at home day and night. Although he has never been a famous teacher, he has a good martial arts!

Just Niu Mantun’s understanding, there is nothing to do with martial arts on the battlefield

Art. On the battlefield, you can compare fast, you can compare ruthlessly, and you can compare accurately! As long as you meet these three points, you can almost survive. The rest depends on luck!

As soon as Niu Mantun approached the door, he saw Zhang Liang and Song Yonglian talking at the door. Niu Mantun knew that these two people must have something to look for him.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, the two turned their heads back, and saw that it was Niu Mantun, they came forward to greet him. Zhang Liang helped to hold the horse, and Song Yonglian picked the prey off.

Three people entered the yard, and one Aha reached out to take the prey from Song Yonglian's hand and said, "Master, you are back! Mr. Zhang and the others have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Niu Mantun said, "Go and clean up these things, let's have a drink later."

Song Yonglian hurriedly said, "Brother Niu, I won't drink this wine. You don't know yet. Today, I saw a fast horse galloping on the road, as if gathering troops! I think it's going to fight again!"

Niu Mantun thought for a while and said, "It should be so! I went to my uncle's house a while ago. He said that the Khan might attack southern Liaoning and seize Lushun! Completely clear the Ming army in southern Liaoning and do his best to deal with the Guanning army!"

Zhang Liang hesitated and said, "If this is the case, wouldn't he attack the city?"

Niu Mantun said, "I will definitely fight! Not to mention anything else, I have to try my best to Lushun City! It is the last city of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, and it must be closely guarded."

Zhang Liang sighed and said, "It would be fine if it was a field battle. If it was a siege, it would be filled with human lives! Our Han army flag may be ranked first again this time!"

Niu Mantun said, "There is no way, who told us to be Han people? But this is good. Once the city is broken, the reward will be very heavy."

Song Yonglian followed and said, "Brother Niu is a lucky person. If we follow Brother Niu, there will probably be no big deal!"

Zhang Liang nodded and said, "This is true! But this time I hope to catch two Ahas. My father is old and can't get out of the ground. If no one helps farming, I'm afraid my belly will suffer next year!"

Niu Mantun nodded and said, "That's the reason. Just let's take care of our own family! I won't be there tonight."

Let you two be kept, let’s go home to take care of your clothes and armor. Maybe the Japanese military order will arrive tomorrow.”

After Zhang Liang and the others left, Niu Mantun took out his armor from the cabinet and started to take care of it carefully. Niu Mantun followed the army to attack a lot of money in the past few times, so the armor on your body was also replaced with a bird gun and a half-iron armor. Other places still have cotton armor.

This cotton armor is actually very complicated to make. It is not the same thing as the cotton jackets worn by the Later Jin army in the TV series.

For real cotton armor, you must soak the cotton in water for three or five days. After soaking thoroughly, take a ball of cotton and beat it on the stone slab. You must also use a wooden hammer to completely hammer the cotton into thin slices. After drying, cut the pounded cotton into square shapes, and nail 6 to 10 layers together as needed. Sew it to the middle of the two layers of cloth armor and then use copper nails. If conditions permit, you can add steel sheets between the cotton sheets.

This cotton armor has no effect in resisting weapons' killing, but it is very useful to prevent bows and arrows. Ordinary bows and arrows will only be hung on cotton armor and cannot be shot through at all.

Niu Mantun's half armor is to nail iron armor to the breast of the cotton armor to firmly protect the chest and abdomen. This is already a top-notch armor in the Han military flag.

Niu Mantun polished the armor carefully, then took out the sword and wiped it carefully. At this time, his wife came in and saw him tidying up her armor and said, "But are you going to fight again?"

Niu Mantun said, "Yes. This time the Khan seems to be going to attack Lushun. I am not at home and you are pregnant again. Be careful."

His wife touched her stomach and said, "I haven't shown any sign of my conceit, what's there to worry about?"

Niu Mantun smiled and said, "Where has the boss been?"

His wife helped to sort out her clothes and armor and said, "It's time to go to Zhang Liang's house to have fun!"

After saying this, his wife began to talk about housework. Niu Mantun didn't say anything, just listened to her.
