"What era is this Mingguang Armor?"

After looking at it for a moment, Wang Guan was also a little curious: "I remember that Mingguang Armor was the most famous in the Tang Dynasty, but it seems that things already existed before the Tang Dynasty. ”

"It's been around since the Northern and Southern Dynasties."

Mr. Qin smiled and said: "After they showed me the photos, I checked some information and found that in the Cao Wei period of the Three Kingdoms, there was a record of Mingguangjia. As for the physical evidence, it is some samurai terracotta figurines unearthed during the Northern Wei Dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and they are wearing such Mingguang armor. ”

"But Xiaoyou, you are also right, in the Tang Dynasty, the production process of Mingguang armor reached the peak. It's just that the process is too complicated, according to historical records, it takes nearly two hundred days to make a pair of iron armor, and forty-one craftsmen are needed to repair a pair of armor. ”

Between the words, Mr. Qin sighed very much: "From this, we also know that the production of Mingguang armor has some assembly line meaning. It's a pity that after the rebellion of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Song Dynasty rejuvenated the culture and suppressed the military, in addition to the early high-ranking officials and generals may also have a Mingguang armor, and later the things gradually disappeared. In other words, the court consciously ignored it and naturally disappeared into the long river of history. ”

"It's a common thing."

Wang Guan sighed slightly: "The bronze chariots and bows and crossbows of the Qin Dynasty, the ring-headed knives and armored cavalry of the Han Dynasty, the Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty, and the famous Tang swords. The most powerful weapons of war at that time were all the most famous weapons of war in history. It's a pity that these things are always lost in the end for various reasons, leaving only legends that the world admires. ”

"It's so decent, what do you do with this." Yu Feibai said casually: "I think it's better to figure out what age this armor is." ”

"That's right."

Wang Guan was relieved, and then smiled: "Since Mr. Qin has studied the Mingguang Armor, then he should know it in his heart." ”

"Hehe, a little bit of experience." Mr. Qin immediately smiled and said, "Actually, you should be able to guess it." Only in the Tang Dynasty, where the craftsmanship of Mingguang armor was the most exquisite, it was possible to make such a delicate and practical armor. ”

"As far as I know, the Ming Guang armor of the Tang Dynasty can be divided into five types in chronological order." Mr. Qin counted them carefully: "The armor of the late Sui Dynasty, the armor of the early Tang Dynasty, the armor of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty, the armor of the Middle Tang Dynasty, and the armor of the late Tang Dynasty." The armor is more or less the same in each period, but there are some minor differences. ”

"What's the difference?"

Naturally, everyone inquired curiously.

"It's hard to say." Mr. Qin shook his head and said, "This depends on the helmet, as well as the changes in the decoration of the body armor and shoulder pads. There are subtle changes in each period, and it will not be possible to say for a while. ”

"It's okay, just tell us what period this armor is." Yu Feibai said with interest: "I have long heard of the fame of the Ming Guang Armor in the Tang Dynasty, but I have usually seen replicas. I was also fortunate to witness the actual objects that were actually unearthed. It's just relatively tattered, not as complete as this armor, and it's very well preserved. ”

"Yes, such an intact Mingguang armor can also be called unique." Mr. Qin carefully checked every detail of the armor, and even did not miss every piece of armor, and after carefully touching and confirming it with his hand, he said with satisfaction: "I think the thing should be the armor of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Is there any basis for this?" Yu Feibai said curiously, and the reaction of the others was similar. Listen more attentively.

At the same time, Mr. Qin also explained with great interest: "Let me summarize it, in fact, it is easier to distinguish." The armor of the early Tang Dynasty, due to the fact that the economy was in the recovery stage. The shape of the armor was relatively simple, but in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, due to the affluent social atmosphere at that time, the armor naturally tended to be gorgeous. ”

"That's clearly what this armor is. The details are very exquisite and exquisite, and it is no longer to emphasize the heavy majesty of the armor, but to show a noble and elegant atmosphere. In order to set off the status of the armor-clad people. ”

While speaking, Mr. Qin muttered: "This kind of armor is more gorgeous than powerful, I think it should be a relic of the general of the palace guard army, not something of a fierce general on the battlefield." ”

"Makes sense." Wang Guan said thoughtfully: "I remember hearing someone say that you can't dress too flashy on the battlefield, otherwise you will definitely become the target of the enemy's key attack." ”

Everyone nodded one after another, after all, they were dressed too distinctly on the battlefield, they were simply fireflies in the night, not only eye-catching, but also an obvious target, who would you hit if you didn't hit you?

"Look at it, there should be an inscription."

At the right time, Mr. Qin rummaged inside the armor: "In the Tang Dynasty, there was a department dedicated to making armor, which seemed to be called the Jiafang Bureau, and there was also a Northern Capital Ordnance Supervisor, which also set up such an arsenal. No matter what kind of workshop it is, anyway, something like armor and the like, in ancient times, it was a high-level military material, and it would definitely be numbered. ”

"That's right."

Wang nodded and said: "Ancient armor, crossbows, and bows are just like modern guns and ammunition, and the people cannot make them privately. Once it is found that anyone dares to hide the armor privately, the court will definitely regard it as a major crime of rebellion, and the killing of the head is light, and it is normal to destroy the door. If there is a large number of private collections, no one will dare to speak up if they are directly punished. ”

"Of course."

Mr. Qin nodded and smiled: "But what you are talking about is the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, which was not so serious in the Tang Dynasty." Those who possess one or two pieces privately are at most exiled with a rod, but if there are too many of them, they will definitely be beheaded. ”

"It can be seen that both ancient and modern, it is a virtue." Yu Feibai pursed his lips slightly, and suddenly stretched out his hand to signal: "I think the inscription may be ...... inside the abdominal armor."

I have to say that sometimes Yu Feibai's intuition is very accurate, in a word.

"Sure enough, there is an inscription."

Mr. Qin opened the abdominal armor and took a look, and sure enough, he found a few lines of simple words, and then squinted his eyes to identify them: "Jiafang Department, Nanya Right Qianniuwei ......"

"Huh?"

For a moment, Wang Guan and the others were stunned, and after looking at each other, a strange look appeared in their hearts.

Several people had strange expressions, which immediately attracted Da Ge's attention, and his gaze followed. Wang Guan's reaction was not slow, and he was very surprised: "Isn't it the Jiafang Agency, how can it be related to Qianniuwei?" ”

"yes, the two departments don't seem to have anything to do with each other." Yu Feibai cooperated and said tacitly: "One is the arsenal, and the other is a famous palace guard. ”

"I guess this should be the armor specially made by the Jiafang Department for Qianniuwei." Old Mr. Qin thought for a moment and chuckled, "Maybe it's specially tailored for a certain general in the Thousand Niu Guard." ”

"Well, it's not impossible...... Wang Guan nodded, and didn't say anything more.

"Old Qin."

At this time, Da Ge only felt that his eyelids were beating inexplicably, and his heart was a little empty, and he didn't have time to investigate the root cause at the moment, but just subconsciously urged: "You've seen it, whether the thing is true or false, I don't need to say more." If you think it's appropriate, buy it. If you are not satisfied, we will take it away immediately, so as not to delay you in greeting your friends. ”

"Wait another two minutes."

Mr. Qin smiled, and then said softly: "Two little friends, what do you think of things?" ”

"Not bad."

At this time, Yu Feibai stretched out his hand to touch the Mingguang armor, nodded without hesitation, and said, "It should be the real thing, especially the leather rope strap that braids the armor, there are already some traces of decay and breakage." Looking at the rust that looms out of each piece of armor, I can conclude that it is ancient. As for whether it is Tang Dynasty armor, you should know better than me. ”

"It's the real thing." Wang Guan also affirmed: "If it is only a part of the armor, it is difficult to identify the authenticity, but now it is a complete set of armor, so it is relatively easy to identify." After all, if you want to use two or three thousand pieces of armor, it is definitely not an easy thing, and it is very easy to find flaws. ”

"Besides, whether the thing is true or not, it is estimated that Mr. Qin, you also know it in your heart, so you don't need to ask us again."

At the right time, Wang Guan smiled and said: "You are an expert in this regard, so you don't need our class to get an axe." ”

Although there is a bit of flattery, it is undeniable that Mr. Qin's research in the past few days has not been in vain, at least he is very familiar with the allusions of armor, and he can link theory with practice. In a way, it is indeed better than Wang Guan and others.

"Hehe, I'm also cramming for the time being, but you also think that the thing is right, so there should be no problem."

While speaking, Mr. Qin restrained his smile and said calmly: "I want something, you can make a price." ”

"Two million."

Da Ge and the little brother next to him were overjoyed, and immediately directly quoted the price they had negotiated.

"It's expensive, 200,000." Mr. Qin wrote lightly, don't look at his age, but when he bargains, he is definitely not soft-hearted.

Da Ge and the others were not surprised by this, they were originally opening their mouths in the lion, and they didn't expect to sell for two million. But the price of 200,000 naturally does not meet their expectations, so there is something to talk about.

When the two were bargaining, Wang Guan and the others did not join in the fun. The first is to understand the rules and avoid suspicion. The second is that they have to discuss other things as well.

"How?" Yu Feibai said in a low voice: "Is it them?" ”

"Eight or nine is not far from ten." Wang Guan gestured: "If you pay close attention, you can find that the armor iron piece has traces of scrubbing, and then combined with the inscription of the belly armor Qianniuwei, I think it is very likely." Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence. ”

"There are many coincidences in the world, but there are no such coincidences." Yu Feibai smiled slightly: "It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get there." You say that we will be rewarded for reporting now, will we be rewarded? ”

"This is an inevitable thing...... Wang Guan groaned and said softly: "Tell Officer Yang, although I can't stand Mr. Qin, but the long pain is better than the short pain." lest the East Window incident happen, Mr. Qin will also be implicated. ”

It's easy to do, it's obvious to call, just text directly. There are many people who are easy to do, and several people stand together, blocking the sight of Da Ge and others, and sending a text message casually is simply unaware...... (To be continued......)
