Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 412 New Military Uniform
On the sea near Wubei City, naval ships are practicing back and forth.

After the ship fits together, it sails extremely smoothly. No matter how big the wind and waves are, it seems that the giant ship that "grows limbs" cannot be shaken.

However, it is not without any problems after connecting all the Spike warships to the Aegis and Dragon Fang warships.

There are still some flaws in this behemoth that is forcibly united.

For example, power issues.

Regardless of whether it is the Aegis ship or the Dragon Fang warship, after bringing more than ten Spike warships with them, they can't move a bit, and the speed can't be raised at all.

After all, the Spike Warship is also a medium-sized warship of [-] materials. The displacement of several Spike Warships is almost the same as that of the Aegis Ship and the Dragon Fang Warship. The Aegis Ship and the Dragon Fang Warship will drive more than ten Spike Warships. The boat is still a bit difficult.

This is easy to solve, as long as the steam engines on more than a dozen Spike warships are turned on at the same time, it will be almost the same.

There are also things like how the conjoined ships turn, how to turn around, how to keep distance, prevent collisions, etc., these will be slowly rehearsed.

On the flagship, Taichang looked at the busy figures of sailors and soldiers in the distance through a huge telescope, and suddenly realized another problem.

He suddenly turned his head and asked, "Bo Ya, have you been to Guangdong Mansion?"

When Sun Chuanting heard the words, he subconsciously nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I went there when the pirates were suppressed last time."

Taichang then asked again: "Do you think it's hot over there?"

That's pretty hot.

Sun Chuanting thought about it for a while, and said with lingering fear: "The weather over there is really hot, even wearing armor will burn you!"

That's nothing!

Taichang murmured and recalled: "I have been to Qiongzhou Mansion, and it was hotter there. Scholars like Zilong put on waistcoats and flat trousers regardless of elegance. The weather was unbearably hot!"

The temperature gets higher the further south you go, especially in summer, it gets unbearably hotter as you go south.

In summer, the Guangzhou mansion is already very hot, and the Qiongzhou mansion is unbearably hot. Batavia is still thousands of miles south of Qiongzhou mansion.

It's unimaginable how hot it is over there!

How could the emperor suffer this crime?

Sun Chuanting was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then solemnly said: "Your Majesty, why don't you lead the troops to attack Batavia?"

What is this!

Do you think I'm afraid of the heat and dare not go?

Taichang shook his head again and again and said, "What I mean is to prepare some military uniforms for the soldiers to wear in hot weather, otherwise, it will probably be too hot to be skinned when we get there."

Well, this one is.

Daming's military uniform does not have the kind of short jackets and shorts that are specially worn on hot days.

Sun Chuanting suddenly said: "Your Majesty, do you mean to equip all the soldiers with waistcoats and flat trousers?"

Flat trousers are fine, but the waistcoat is a bit inappropriate, and the row of buttons is not suitable for soldiers in combat.

Taichang thought for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's go to the council hall to discuss."

After finishing speaking, he strode towards the meeting hall in the middle.

Sun Chuanting and several staff generals quickly followed in.

After everyone went in, Taichang suddenly asked again: "Bo Ying, I heard that you are also proficient in calligraphy and painting."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu hurriedly said modestly: "Your Majesty, I have only dabbled a little, so I dare not claim to be proficient."

That's proficiency.

Taichang pointed to the Four Treasures of the Study on the table and said, "You are here to write."

Yuan Shu quickly picked up the brush and pulled out a blank piece of paper.

Taichang thought for a while, and then gestured on himself: "You can draw a dress like this, the sleeves should be about five inches long, and there should be no opening in the middle."

What kind of clothes is this?
Yuan Shu pondered for a while, and then began to draw seriously.

He is really proficient in calligraphy and painting, but this short-sleeved dress seems to have no place to display his calligraphy and painting skills.

Therefore, he devoted all his energy to painting the collar, and painted other places with just a few strokes.

This kid is really good at drawing. The problem is that there is no need for a collar in a short-sleeved T-shirt!

When Taichang saw it, he couldn't help but said in embarrassment: "Boying, you don't need the collar, just change it to a V-shaped opening."

What is a V-shaped opening?
Yuan Shu was dumbfounded.

He doesn't even know what the word V is!
Well, no one knows the alphabet these days.

Seeing Yuan Shu's expression, Taichang reacted instantly.

He thought for a while, and then gestured at himself: "Just make an arrow-like opening in the front."

Oh, it turned out to be in the shape of an arrow.

Yuan Shu hastily took another piece of blank paper and drew it again.

This short sleeve without a collar, that is just a few strokes.

Taichang looked at it, thought for a while, then pointed to his sleeves and said: "Add this kind of hemming all around, it doesn't need to be so wide, about an inch is enough."

Ok.

Yuan Shu modified it according to his intention.

That's about it.

Taichang looked at the short sleeves drawn, and couldn't help but nodded slightly: "Well, this kind of clothes will be called arrow collar shirts from now on."

This seems to be a barrel!

Yuan Shu couldn't help but asked: "Your Majesty, this dress has no front and no buttons, how can you wear it?"

This is not easy.

Taichang gestured directly: "Just put it on from the head."

Uh, this way of dressing!
Everyone was a little dumbfounded.

Taichang thought of the clothes of the later generations, but suddenly became interested. Since he planned to make military uniforms for the soldiers, he would make a full set, one for spring, summer, autumn and winter!
He thought for a while, and then gestured again: "Draw another long-sleeved waistcoat."

Is long sleeves still called waistcoats?

A waistcoat has no sleeves!

Yuan Shu's face was full of bewilderment.

However, he was stunned for a while, and still drew a long-sleeved vest according to Taichang's request.

Taichang looked at it, and then gestured on himself: "The collar is drawn with square corners, stand it up, and it will look imposing."

Well, Your Majesty, you can do whatever you say.

Under Taichang's guidance, Yuan Shu directly drew a bunch of weird clothes.

What kind of long-sleeved vest, what kind of trousers with cuffed trousers, what kind of robe with the middle open, what kind of cape like a cape, etc., there are all kinds of weird things.

This is not over yet, after drawing this pile of weird clothes, Taichang actually brought all the people to the military uniform factory in Wubei City, and ordered someone to measure him carefully, and make all the four sets of clothes drawn.

At this moment, the speed of making clothes in the uniform factory is not so fast. Although the sewing machine has not yet been released, they have already begun to try to use the steam engine to drive the needle and thread to sew clothes.

Taichang couldn't even understand the specific principle of this sewing machine, but it was really fast to sew.

Four sets of weird clothes were made for him by a few tailors in less than an hour.

The style of these clothes is more similar to the military uniforms of later generations. After wearing them, they no longer have the loose feeling of robes, and they are tightened everywhere. It must be more convenient when fighting.

Taichang personally tried on the newly developed glass mirror and felt quite satisfied.

Yuan Shu and the others were stunned and puzzled.

Why did the emperor make such strange clothes?

This is completely different from the original gown!
Taichang put on a windbreaker-like autumn outfit and a straight cloak, and said involuntarily, "How about it, doesn't this military uniform look majestic enough?"

Prestige seems to be prestige, but it always feels a little strange!

Sun Chuanting couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, I have the courage to ask, why did you change the military uniform to this?"

Without hesitation, Taichang said: "Haven't you heard of Hu Fu riding and shooting? After wearing this kind of strong clothes, you can make any movements more swiftly!"

Of course Sun Chuanting has heard of Hu Fu riding and shooting.

Question, you are not Hu Fu!
No matter how you look at this dress, it's weird!
He asked carefully again: "Your Majesty, are you really going to change your military uniform to this?"

of course!

Taichang said without hesitation: "Make 100 million sets of summer clothes first, and then slowly make other spring, autumn and winter clothes. From now on, all soldiers will have to change into this new style of military uniform."

At this moment, they may still feel strange looking at it, but once they get used to wearing it, they will know the benefits of this new military uniform.
