Chapter 27: The East China Sea (Part II)

"I didn't expect it to be so chaotic, what the hell is the navy in the East China Sea doing. Looking at a pirate ship that was desperately rushing from the front, Ye Wuji shook his head slightly, and his feet moved, and before the pirate ship could get close to the passenger ship, he had already jumped onto the pirate ship.

After a while, Ye Wuji returned to the passenger ship again, and when the passenger ship slowly approached the pirate ship, the crew and sailors on the passenger ship immediately rushed to the pirate ship, tied up all the pirates on board, and brought them to the passenger ship.

After bringing all the pirates to the passenger ship, Night Mowgli immediately took action to destroy the pirate ship.

I don't know if it's Ye Wuji's bad luck, or if the pirates in the East China Sea are really flooded, in just a few days, this is already the third wave of pirates encountered.

When he encountered the first wave of pirates, Ye Wuji was watching from the sidelines at first, he wanted to see the style of this group of pirates, if it was the kind of pirates who didn't kill people, he might let this group of pirates go.

What happened next immediately showed that he was thinking too much, the leader of this gang of pirates, as soon as he stepped on the passenger ship, he was ready to kill people, and it was logical that Ye Wuji immediately attacked, caught all the pirates, and then stuffed them in the cabin of the passenger ship.

Coupled with the pirates captured this time, there are already nearly a hundred people imprisoned in the cabin, and when you look at the scale of these pirates, you know that they have just gone to sea.

Among them, there may be relatively good strength, but for Ye Wuji, it makes no difference at all, and all of them are lying down with ten hands.

After Ye Wuji revealed his identity, the ship was not so panicked when it encountered the pirates again, and the captain also said that after sending all the guests to the island they needed to reach, he would immediately send Night Wuji to Rogue Town, so that Night Wuji would not have to change ships by himself.

This is also a matter of course, there are so many pirates in the cabin, and they must also be brought to Rogue Town before there is a prison to hold them.

I have to say that the transportation in the world of pirates is too inconvenient, and if you want to travel, you can only take a boat, and it is almost impossible to move an inch in this world without a boat.

Rog Town, after Roger shouted his last words, it almost became a gathering place for pirates, especially after the withdrawal of the Navy Headquarters from the East China Sea.

Because of the appearance of a large number of pirates, Rogue Town has become more chaotic, and the local residents are careful when they go out every day, especially in families with beautiful women, there is no need to never go out, even if they go out, they will cover themselves tightly, but even this can't stop the presumptuous pirates.

When he saw a beautiful woman, he stepped forward to tease, and even directly arrested her, and killed people if she didn't agree with her, this is the current Rogue Town.

At the beginning, the navy of Rogue Town could still deal with these pirates, but as the number of pirates increased day by day, the navy could only slowly retreat to the naval base of Rogue Town, barely maintaining the security of Rogue Town, and the security on the sea was no longer taken care of for the time being.

Even if it was the security of Rogue Town, by the time the navy arrived, most of them were after the fact, and the troubled pirates had already fled.

Such a Rogue town should have been depressed, but in fact, Rogue Town is showing a strange prosperity, and in the backstreets of Rogue Town, people come and go.

There is the largest black market in Rogue Town, weapons, grain, fresh water, three essential things for pirates on their way to the Great Voyage.

Rogue is the last island in the East China Sea to the entrance to the Great Shipping Route, and there are no supplies ahead.

"Imp get out of here. "In the harbor of Rogue Town, a group of arrogant-looking pirates, the leader of which kicked a young man who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old and had white hair.

"You released Sister Anya for me. The white-haired boy quickly got up from the ground, ignoring the injuries on his body, and rushed up again, but unfortunately immediately flew out again at a faster speed, and slammed into the cargo box on the side of the dock.

"I have already reported to the Navy, and the Navy will not let you go. The injuries on his body prevented the white-haired boy from standing up again, but even so, he did not give up, and crawled towards the group of pirates with his hands little by little.

"Navy, haha, I'm so scared, little ghost, pray to the Navy to save you now. The leading pirate immediately took out a pistol and pointed it at the boy on the ground, a smug smile on his face.

Bang.

The bullet in the pistol shot at the young man on the ground at a lightning speed, and some people on the side couldn't help but close their eyes, and couldn't bear to see the young man die like this.

There were many people watching from the sidelines, but none of these people dared to provoke this group of pirates, especially the pirates who were the leader, Morgan, who was known as a vicious dog in the East China Sea, and offered a bounty of 11 million.

The earliest copper knives were born from stone knives and were small in shape. At present, the earliest bronze weapon found in China is the copper knife. The bronze knives of the Shang Dynasty have a wide shape and an upturned edge, and their production is like a stone knife. At that time, knives were mainly used to cut utensils, slaughter cattle and sheep, or defend themselves, and were not officially used in warfare. The heavy sword of the Zhou Dynasty did not like swords. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a bronze broadsword, with a short handle and a long knife, a thick spine and a sharp blade, and the head end of the handle was flat and circular, so it was also called "ring-handled knife". Two bronze knives were unearthed in the wooden coffin tomb of Baifuxi Zhou in Changping County, Beijing, one with a body of 41 centimeters and a slight bow on the back, and the other was 24 centimeters long, resembling an ice blade. At that time, bronze knives were brittle, lacked toughness, and were easy to break when chopping. Compared with the copper swords of the same era, the workmanship of the sword is rough, the shape is clumsy, and it is far less delicate and sharp than the copper sword. Therefore, the knife did not enter the battlefield for a long time.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, after the advent of steel, the production process of knives was improved, the shape of the blade was lengthened, and there were special war knives and sabers. The saber is unique in style and beautiful in ornamentation, while the sword is tough in texture and well-made. In the wars of the nations at that time, the military vehicles had gradually withdrawn from the battlefield, and the cavalry team became the main force of the battle. Therefore, simple stabbing weapons are not enough to exert their effectiveness, and the production quality of steel knives that are good at slashing and slashing is becoming more and more demanding. According to historical records, during the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei ordered craftsmen to make 5,000 knives, Sun Quan ordered 1,000 knives to be made, and Sima Yan also sent 8,000 knives at one time. These knives were used to equip the army, and by that time knives had become one of the main weapons. The most common knife is the "ring head knife", this kind of knife is straight back and straight blade, the back of the knife is thicker, the handle is oblate and ring-shaped, the length is about one meter, it is convenient to kill and chop in the cavalry battle, it is a short weapon with strong combat ability, in the fighting on the battlefield, many generals often use spears and short knives together, stabbing far and close to splitting, and the power is incomparable. Li Dang, the son of the general Li Guang in the Western Han Dynasty, "held a long lance on the left and a short sword on the right and a prancing horse in the right". Mrs. Zhurong, the wife of Meng Xu, the leader of the Southern Barbarians during the Three Kingdoms, was good at flying knives and hit every shot. She once carried an eight-foot long standard and stuck five flying knives in her back, seriously injured Zhang Wei, and captured Ma Zhong alive. ’‘

Steel knives are not only used on the battlefield, but also in officialdom. During the Han Dynasty, from the Son of Heaven to all officials, they all wore swords. The saber indicates the status rank of the nobles. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were very strict regulations on the shape and decoration of the saber of the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials, and no one was allowed to exceed them. This kind of wearing knife requires exquisite and beautiful appearance from the appearance, the knife body is carved with wrong patterns, and the knife ring is cast into various forms of bird and beast patterns. For example, the saber of Liu Chang, the king of Zhongshan in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was 105 cm long, and the blade was decorated with smooth lines of gold vortex patterns and flowing cloud patterns. During the two Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, the monarchs and ministers of all countries did not attach importance to the sword, and some of them were almost hobby, and they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, invited famous teachers, and spent several years or even more than ten years of hard work to refine the treasure sword. At that time, there was a famous knife maker such as Ruanshi, who was said to have made knives "under the law of Baoqing...... With the Qi of water and fire, the pottery of the five essences, and the wait of yin and yang,

take the sum of rigidity and softness". The Ruanjia knife made "when the hair is cut slightly, there is no change in the firmness". There is also Pu Yuan of Shu, who used the advanced quenching technology at that time to make knives, which is unique. He was ordered by Zhuge Liang to make 3,000 steel knives in the valley.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the more advanced "steel filling method" was used instead of the hundred refining method, and the knife was more tough and sharp. There are three kinds of knives in the Tang Dynasty: ritual knives, knives, and horizontal knives. The ceremonial sword was a weapon used by the Imperial Guards, the sword was a knife worn by ordinary officials, and the horizontal sword was a combat knife specially equipped with the army. The Tang Dynasty not only paid attention to maintaining the traditional production skills of the Han nation, but also absorbed a lot of foreign knife-making skills with the extensive economic and cultural exchanges between countries and ethnic groups, which made the production of war knives more practical. The most used by the Ming Dynasty army was the "waist knife". The body of the waist knife is long and narrow, the blade is curved, and the blade is extended, which absorbs the advantages of the sword and increases the power of slashing and killing. Qi Jiguang, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, attached great importance to the production of waist knives, and had detailed research and records on the production methods of waist knives in his military work "Actual Record of Military Training". In the Qing Dynasty, the types of knives were more complex, including waist knives, rolling back double knives, spleen knives, two-handed belt knives, back knives, nest knives, mandarin duck knives, stern knives, cutting knives, wind knives and so on. Among them, the most widely used in combat are waist knives and two-handed belt knives. The upper part of the waist knife is straighter, the lower part is slightly curved, and the blade part is slightly narrower. The blade is three feet two inches long, the handle is three inches long, and it weighs one catty and ten taels (in ancient times, 1 catty = 16 taels), and was generally used for cavalry combat. With knives in both hands, the handle is one foot and five inches long, which can be grasped by both hands, and the blade is long and particularly wide and heavy, and the upper part is flat. When infantry fights in close combat, they can cut off the enemy's head or limbs with a single sword. The short knife was still one of the main weapons of the army in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
