Chapter 351: The Strongest Death Squad
Speaking of Xi'an, there is only one thing that comes to everyone's mind:
Terracotta Warriors!
As soon as I walked into the second gate, there was the No. 1 pit in front of me. Standing in the stands, quietly looking at the neatly arranged Qin ** regiment at his feet, his ears seemed to faintly hear the high-pitched shouts of the warriors of the Qin Empire: Kill, kill, kill!
Seeing that the eyes of the sergeants of the huge Emperor ** Regiment were full of sharpness, they marched towards the east at an alarming speed and in unison.
This is the army that once terrified the six countries and kept them awake at night, swept through the six countries like a black cloud and destroyed the city, and completed the first and greatest unification war in history.
Because of this great unification, from a slave society to a feudal society, it is precisely this great unification that can make China unite several times to resist foreign nations and develop a strong history and culture.
Qin not only destroyed an old world, but also found a broad road to strength for the Chinese nation, insisting on centralization and the county system, and abandoning backward national governance systems such as the feudal system. Therefore, there must be military conquest to complete, and no force is willing to calmly withdraw from the stage of history, which requires an iron army that can turn the tide and sweep away thousands of armies.
According to the area, it is equivalent to two standard football fields, a total of 6,000 soldiers were unearthed, and it is also the main force of this iron regiment, composed of forwards, flanks, main forces, and rearguards, and the entire terracotta figurines form a rectangular military formation.
Except for the guards on the two wings, facing both sides, the other soldiers all stood facing the east, staring at the east tightly, were they intimidating the six eastern countries that had just been destroyed and were not very peaceful?
Judging from the location of the entire Terracotta Army, he is located on the north side of the east axis of the mausoleum, and it can be seen that he is a garrison guarding outside the palace gate, and their task and role are very clear, that is, to protect the underground imperial city behind him, which is today's Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum.
More than two thousand years have passed, and although the wooden weapon handles in their hands are rotten, they can still feel the sword and sword shadow of the entire legion. The murderous aura that dares to go to the battlefield without wearing a helmet can be seen that this is an underground army that is ready to be dispatched at any time, ready to be resurrected at any time, and erupts at any time.
Only when I walked in did I find more details, especially the first three rows of warriors, wearing battle robes, standing facing east, completely separated from the large army, standing at the forefront of the line, a full 204 soldiers, their eyes like torches, without helmets and hair, and their right hands placed on the right side of their bodies, so from the left side, the right hand is almost invisible.
Each right thumb is forward, the hand holds a hollow, judging from the shape of the hand, it must be holding a short knife or a short sword. It shows their determination to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy and meet each other in close combat, and when they look at this desperate posture, they are all not afraid of death.
After listening to the tour guide, I thought it was a joke, but I later learned that according to the Shiwu Lian sitting method implemented by Shang Ying and the twentieth rank military industry system system that all profits depend on military merits, that is, if you kill an enemy on the battlefield and come back, you can get a promotion to the first level, reward one hectare of land, nine acres of residence, and some even reward servants to serve.
The more heads you kill, the higher the knighthood you get, and if a soldier kills two enemy heads on the battlefield, his parents as prisoners can immediately become freemen, and if his wife is a slave, he can also become a commoner. Even if you are unfortunately killed, the military merit reward can still be left to your family.
Since the beginning of history, the fate of ordinary people has basically been predestined from birth, and there are few opportunities to change, especially from the implementation of a strict hierarchy in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Such a reward system should be regarded as the only chance to turn around.
During the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, the people of Qin could change the fate of themselves and their families by fighting. Therefore, fighting for the country is to create a good life for yourself and a great opportunity for the benefit of future generations, the price is nothing more than death, but the reward is enough to make people crazy, so Sergeant Qin is definitely a death squad.
There is a kneeling figurine on display next to it, and because the shape is cool enough, it is often invited abroad to go to exhibitions. As a terracotta figurine, the reason why it can stand out is not only because of its appearance, but more importantly, because of this kneeling posture.
According to physics, a clay figurine fired from clay is the least likely to remain in its original state. An important reason why he has been able to maintain this posture for thousands of years, and it is still intact when it is unearthed, is his center of gravity.
In fact, his center of gravity is slightly biased towards the kneeling leg, and the other half-squatting leg plays a balancing role according to the triangle principle. Such a big guy can kneel without crooking for thousands of years, always maintaining a tense fighting posture, representing the wisdom of the ancestors against the sky.
If the kneeling figurines are responsible for appearance, the second one is definitely the king of details, and the bronze chariot and horse of the treasure of the town hall can definitely give you the pride of the children of China.
Although it is reduced according to the realistic ratio of 1:2, it is still the largest bronze in China. The weight of one is more than 1 ton, composed of more than 3,500 parts, with casting, inlay, welding, mother and child buckle connection, live hinge connection, etc., miscellaneous and many processes, under the welding conditions at that time, how awesome it must be to make it like this!
It is said that when it was dug up, it had been broken into more than 3,000 pieces, and it took 8 years for the little brother and sister of archaeology to boil it into a little uncle and aunt before it was repaired.
The bronze carriage for people to hold the carriage is very delicately painted, and it is said that there is a kind of painting art technique of stacking painting, which is an unprecedented innovation, not only for the good looks, but also to prevent the oxidation of the bronze.
The most high-tech thing is the canopy, which is not only beautiful, but also powerful, and the canopy can be opened and closed like the umbrellas we have today, remember that this is bronze.
There are cross-shaped column supports on the paracord, which can steadily support the open umbrella cover, and the car is also equipped with a large number of weapons and hidden weapons.
There are also horseshoe legs, because the load-bearing requirements are different, the ratio of lead and tin is different, and there are hinges on doors and windows or something. According to the words of the tour guide: Every time you look at it, you deeply doubt that you are stupid?
In fact, when the terracotta warriors and horses were discovered, they were painted on their bodies, but there were no good protection measures at that time, and they were quickly oxidized, so what you see now are all natives. Later, when the excavation was carried out, archaeologists had solved the problem through years of research.
Imagine that the soldiers who were dressed in warm and colorful colors at that time, all of them were tall and powerful, muscular, and they were still very eye-catching when they stood together, and they must be better than the gray and sudden colors now.
The only green-faced among the thousands of soldiers, some people say that the paint was mixed incorrectly at that time, so it will be wrong. Some people say that he is a modern person who has traveled over at that time, and he has been treated with special treatment because of his speciality, and some people have opened their brains and said that they are aliens?
Johnson looked at it for a long time, this guy can't really be Xiang Shaolong, right?
