472.The Howl of Screams (1)
Mr. Martin is worthy of being a history teacher, and he introduces a chaotic history of the two countries in an orderly manner. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After listening to this, Li Du had a general understanding of the history of this armor and said, "So, it was born in the seventeenth century?"
Mr. Martin nodded, "Yes, in the seventeenth century, it should be the middle of the seventeenth century, although the hussars had begun to wear animal skins as their decorations, but they did not fasten their flamboyant wings to their bodies like the later hussars, and their feathers were more fixed to their shields. ”
"By the middle of the 17th century, with the outbreak of the Great Cossack Uprising in Ukraine, led by the Cossack Khmelnitsky, Poland entered a period of turmoil and great flood. ”
"Overwhelmed by the dizziness of the Cossack uprising, the Grand Duchy of Moscow and Sweden sharpened their knives and prepared to take advantage of the moment to get a piece of the Polish pie. ”
As the backbone of Poland's military power, hussars became the key to saving Poland's fate, and with the development of these military aristocrats, the hussars were much more ornate than they were in the early 17th century, and the iconic wings began to appear in large numbers on these proud Polish cavalrymen. ”
Listening to his introduction, Li Du couldn't help but ask: "Actually, how big are the wings behind the hussars? The cavalry has to rely on charging to maintain combat effectiveness, right? Doesn't the appearance of wings produce air resistance?"
Mr. Martin patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're a good student, Lee, you're on the point." ”
"In fact, hussars don't wear their wings all the time, they are more often used in parades or military parades. ”
"The huge wings, as well as the feathers on them, rub against the air and make a loud noise during the march of the cavalry, which is definitely something to be proud of for the proud noble cavalry. ”
Mrs. Martin, who had been listening silently, spoke at this time: "After all, the wings of the hussars are just like the helmets worn by the Yulin Army of the Ming Dynasty in your civilization, and they are just decorations used as a mark of honor. ”
Li Du smiled: "Madam, you are really knowledgeable. ”
Madame Martin taught geography, and she was able to know the helmets worn by the Ming Dynasty Imperial Guards, which was indeed well-read.
Sophie smiled: "So the wings on the back are used for decoration? I thought it had a practical effect, such as being able to fan off arrows from behind." ”
Hearing her words, Li Du laughed, and Mr. Martin made a distressed look: "Don't get involved in this kind of topic in the future, my little girl, your ideas have disgraced a piece of history." ”
Mrs. Martin pushed him and said, "Don't do this." ”
Mr. Martin smiled and said, "Of course, Sophie also said an important point, these wings are actually effective. ”
"That is, when chasing a defeated opponent, wearing wings and galloping with the war horse, it will make a loud noise, which can intimidate the opponent who is in fear. ”
Knowing the history of the armor, Mr. Martin quoted the armor for about $600,000 to $700,000.
After stating the price, he asked, "Lee, are you sure you are donating this armor? You must know that this is not a small amount, and our husband and wife do not have half of this amount in a year's salary!"
Li Du said: "It doesn't belong to me in the first place, it should belong to the audience who are interested in this history, because it represents a very splendid history." ”
Mr. Martin gave him another analysis and asked him to think again.
He didn't want Li Du to be upset about this in the future, after all, as he emphasized, this armor was worth a lot of money.
Li Ducai is not annoyed, this armor is made of his empty gloves and white wolf, even if he throws it away, he will not feel distressed.
After receiving his confirmed answer, Mr. Martin called the director of the museum and said that he would find a time tomorrow to send this set of armor with Li Du.
The museum was excited to learn that they could get a set of armor that had survived for hundreds of years, and if it hadn't been closed at this time, they would have been eager to accept it now.
Chatting about the armor, Li Du said another question: "This armor has a long history and is silver, so is it only worth six or seven hundred thousand?"
"It is true that this is an antique," explained Mr. Martin, "but the hussars were an army, and at one time had the largest number of men in the European theater, so there were not many armour weapons left. ”
This is the reason, antique cultural relics are rare and expensive, and although there are many collectors of armor and weapons, there are often many that have been handed down.
Hussars, in particular, were once popular in Europe, and although they disappeared at the end of the eighteenth century, they still had admirers among the people, and imitations continued to be produced.
In addition, this armor is not all silver, it is silver-plated on the outside, so that it looks better with silver glitter, and the silver is soft, so it cannot be used as a weapon.
Mr. Martin picked up the silver gun and showed him that the body was broken in some places, revealing the identity of the black iron weapon.
After chatting about armor, they were ready for dinner.
Sophie and her mother went to prepare the meal, but this time Li Du didn't let him do it, just let him wait to eat.
Li Du didn't have nothing to do, as soon as Sophie left, Ah Meow immediately pounced on Ah Meow, almost pinching out its urine.
So he hurried up to chase Meow away and dragged the puppy out.
The puppy is strong, it is only a little bigger, but it has grown a thick skeleton, the spirit is vigorous, the temperament is strong, and after getting up, it barks at Meow.
Mr. Martin looked at the puppy and slowly frowned, and said, "Lee, I didn't pay attention to it before, but now that I watch it grow up, I don't think it's a dog." ”
Li Du said: "What is it that is not a dog?"
Mr. Martin went up and lifted its tail to take a look, and Ah Yan turned around and gave him a mouthful, but only to scare and scare him, but not to scare him, and then pushed him away.
Li Du stopped it: "Ah, you are not allowed to open your mouth to bite, this is not right!"
Ah Yan pursed his lips, his eyes were still quite fierce.
"It may not be a dog, Lee, it may be a wolf!" said Mr. Martin.
Li Du was surprised: "Won't it?
Then he shook his head again: "It's a Czech wolfdog, and it may have looked like a wolf when it was a child, but this also shows that its bloodline is relatively pure." ”
Mr. Martin was also unsure of his answer, and said, "Morphologically, this is a wolf, but in terms of intelligence and character, it is more like a dog." ”
"Then it must be a Czech wolfdog. Li Du said proudly.
Ah Hao heard the happiness in his tone, so he was also happy, and hung his tail and raised his head: "Woo woo...... Woohoo!"
Mrs. Martin poked her head out of the kitchen: "Why is there a wolf howling?"
