"Brother Su, we will cooperate happily in the future!"

At noon the next day, Su Yuan came to the Zheng family's old house, saw Zheng Dongyang, Zheng Qianli as a companion, and the three of them drank happily, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Soon reached a cooperation, and the Su family sword shop opened up a special counter for the Zheng family, but if it meets the standard, it can be put on the shelves for sale.

Huangni cold spring water is supplied at a discount, and Su Yuan is also qualified to borrow the experience of the Zheng family's inheritance of a hundred years, of course, he also has to come up with the corresponding experience to share, communicate with each other, and everyone is happy.

Su Yuan was very satisfied with the result, all he wanted was an attitude, the Zheng family needed a new ally, and the two hit it off, and it was a matter of course.

Back in the workshop, it is rare to be quiet, and things are left to others to deal with. Xu Kui and Hu Jinquan were in charge of the sword caster, Wang Tian managed the storefront, Emi Yanagi provided professional support, and with Jin Sanye's background, the Su family sword shop was quickly operational.

"The next step is to make a name for yourself as soon as possible!"

Su Yuan looked at the system task, he had already completed the self-reliance portal and played the Yuan number, but there was another half that was even more difficult.

Slowly stood up, came to the backyard, picked up the hammer, and muttered to himself: "One Long Yuan is not enough, at least three will do!"

The so-called sword size is equivalent to a series of works, and it can be held up by just one or two. According to the plan, Long Yuan is considered to be the masterpiece, and the meteorite outside the sky is rare in a hundred years, and the potential is endless.

If you want to dominate the Dragon Spring, you need to build at least two, not only swords, but also knives are evidence of strength, such as ......

Waist knife!

Dragon Waist Knife!

The shop is handed over to other people to manage, and there is no need to worry about this little thing, and in the next few days, Su Yuan took Xu Kui to run all over the large and small mines in Longquan, and finally found two pieces of ore with the best quality.

Looking at the ore that flashed with rich yellow light and mixed with a little golden light, I couldn't help but sigh that meteorites outside the sky were really rare, and the right time, place and luck could create a dragon yuan.

"Master, are we going to build a knife this time?" Xu Kui heard that the target of this time was a waist knife, and he was very excited, he had never forged a high-quality knife, don't look at the name of the sword and sword, in fact, the process is very different.

Su Yuan nodded, the stupid big man didn't know anything but forging a sword, and he didn't bother to worry about it, so he just followed himself. After this period of running-in, the two cooperated tacitly, especially in the process of striking iron, which tested kung fu and eyesight the most.

Pick up the carefully designed pattern, the so-called waist knife, that is, a short weapon with a single-sided long blade worn on the waist. It is about three feet long, with a narrow blade and a short handle.

Ming "Wubei Zhi Military Equipment": waist knife manufacturing method, iron to practice more, with pure steel from the back with a flat shovel flat cut to the edge, the blade flat grinding shoulderless, Nai Li seconds are especially sharp.

The waist knife first appeared in the Baoan clan, and according to legend, the Baoan clan once lived in a beautiful and rich Zhuangzi, but the happy life was often made by the devil's jealousy. As a result, everyone in the village panicked, and the original vigorous Zhuangzi became lifeless.

There was a blacksmith named Hakemu who lived in the east of Zhuangzi and vowed to subdue the devil. Late one night, he hid alone with a sharp steel knife at the edge of the cave where the devil entered, and when the devil came out of the hole, a cold light pierced the devil's head. But no matter how the brave hack stabbed the devil, the hateful creature was unscathed.

Hakmu failed to subdue the devil, and spent the day listless and restless. One night, in his sleep, he dreamed of an old man who said, "Your sword is sharp, but it cannot subdue the devil." ”

The old man instructed Hakmu to find the thousand-year-old tree on the side of the Tianchi on the mountain opposite Zhuangzi, and make a waist knife according to the shape of the leaves of this tree, and make a pattern of leaves on the upper part of the knife.

According to the instructions of the mysterious old man, Hakmu made the Boriji waist knife. Look for an opportunity to assassinate the devil again. This time, Hakmu's eyes were quick, and his hand was up and down, and the devil's body was suddenly splattered with blood, lying at Hakmu's feet.

After Xu Kui studied the pattern, he analyzed: "In the early years, in order to make a good knife, I once went to the security clan and bought a high-grade folding knife in the Qing Dynasty at a high price. The high temperature calcining is repeatedly folded and kneaded, the rigidity and softness are combined, the elasticity is good, the texture of the blade is peculiar, and the blade is sharp. It is a pity that the craftsmanship was lost with the death of the older generation of swordsmiths, and the current knives are not of great use. ”

Su Yuan nodded, how to make both hardness and toughness take into account is an eternal problem in sword building. The edge requires hardnessThe back of the knife requires toughness, but to maintain toughness, hardness must be sacrificed.

The so-called dark pattern of the folding knife is the trace of the fusion of steel and iron, which is the fusion of steel and iron after repeated forging, so as to ensure the perfect combination of sharpness and toughness.

commented: "Later, I heard that the three craftsmen of Ma Shengfu, Ma Zizheng, and Ma Zhijun in Ganhetan have repeatedly tested the craftsmanship that has been lost for half a century, which is said to be similar to the Mixi knife in the Western Regions of the Yuan Dynasty, and I have the opportunity to see it." ”

In fact, after the Song Dynasty, due to the different war situations and the development of the times, the types of knives increased rapidly, and there were many forms of waist knives alone. Such as goose feather knife, goose wing knife, goose hair knife, oxtail knife, fish head knife, lancet, etc.

This time, Su Yuan designed the Yan Ling knife, which looks like the feathers of a huge goose, so it is called the Yan Ling. The total length is mostly about 110 cm, the blade length is 80 cm, and the handle is 15 cm long. The blade is 5 cm wide, the ridge thickness is 0.6 cm, and the total weight of the knife is two kilograms.

The blade is straight, the tip of the knife is slightly upturned, and there is a counterblade from the tip to the back of the knife 20cm, which runs through the entire back of the knife, and the section of the blade is an isosceles triangle.

Because of the influence of the Mongolian knife, most of the blood grooves of the Yanling knife in the Ming Dynasty were one, and the blood grooves of the Yanling knife in the Qing Dynasty became many, and the shape of the blood groove was strange and complex, and the lethality was extremely strong.

To say that the most famous waist knife, or Qianlong to create the heaven and earth people series, Qianlong thirteen years, he instructed, review, the King James Governor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make the production of the royal waist knife, at that time in accordance with the order to make the heaven, earth, people waist knife 30, until 22 years before the casting decoration was completed, the office of the skilled craftsmen lasted nearly ten years to complete.

Now you can still see some of them in the Forbidden City, which are made by the Office of the Governor's Office of Internal Affairs, and the box surface is marked with "heaven" and "world" respectively; above-ground", "underground"; The words "people up" and "people down".

Each knife box is 120 cm long, 35 cm wide and 20 cm high, and the bottom bracket of the waist knife box is 22 cm high, and each box contains five waist knives.

Knocking knife, weighing 24 taels, Kong Chun knife, weighing 25 taels, moon blade knife, weighing 24 taels, Fengshuo knife, weighing 23 taels, Qianlong year.

After a hundred years of war, the production of the name "Dragon" and "Tiger" knife boxes, and the production of the name "Jing" and "God" knife boxes for 60 years, each of which is ten. Only 58 years to make the name of the "wind" knife box only five, it is estimated that at least five royal waist knives, in the people, now I don't know where?

It wasn't until a few years ago that it was auctioned and was collected by a mysterious buyer at a sky-high price of 50 million, creating the highest record for swords in China.

Even Qianlong was very fond of swords, and personally wrote the imperial pen on the box, naming him Zhan Ye Taojing!

Zhan is deep and heavy, Gong refers to the blade of a knife, Tao is the cover of a bow and arrow, refers to the sheath and box that holds the sword, and Jing means the purest, finest and most exquisite part extracted from the substance.

In addition, the inscription of the knife box: "Yunwen Yunbao", "Frost Jar Hanqing", "Baozhi Ningtao", "Deyao Xiangjin", "Gongquan Weapon", etc., its naming meaning is extraordinary.

Historical records record that in the process of making the Tiandiren waist knife, the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has consistently adhered to the edict of Qianlong, and instructed the waist knife to draw a pattern from the beginning of creation, requiring each knife to draw a paper pattern.

A waist knife even needs to draw four knife paper patterns, and then conduct a comprehensive comparison to select the waist knife style to achieve excellence. Let Jin Kun, the royal painter of Ruyifang, redraw eight pieces of knife paper patterns such as Moon Blade, Kong Chun, Knocking, Chain Essence, Flying Magpie, Su Collar, Chao'a, Flying Snake, etc., and hand them over to the eunuch Hu Shijie to present, and obey the order: "It is still allowed to be done, and it is admirable."

Even the golden peach skin decorated by the scabbard is abnormal, the skin surface is red and black, the inside is golden and shining, it is produced in the mountains east of Qiqihar City, the tree is two or three feet high, the skin is red and black, and the inside is like mud gold, so it is called the golden peach skin, in fact, it does not bear the peach, and the spring branch is folded into tribute.

Qianlong is worthy of being a perfect old man, the strongest collector in history, according to the records of the Qing Dynasty, during the four eastern tours of Shengjing, the upper floor of the Feilong Pavilion of the Imperial Palace has the imperial weapons of Qing Taizong, Shizu, Shengzu, Shizong, Gaozong, such as bows and arrows, sheaths, saddles, knives, swords, guns and other things, Qianlong once transported the treasured weapons in eight years amounted to more than 2,600 kinds.
