On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, the first day of the first month,

In the camp of the Zhengbei General in the south of the champion county of Nanyang County, Tian Xin held a newly forged spear blade in both hands and looked at it carefully, which was a lance blade with an overall length of three feet and six inches.

The blade and the eight-sided Han sword resemble an armor-piercing prism, but it is slightly narrower, the blade is two feet four inches long, and the handle is one foot two inches.

The whole is straight, like a freshly crafted, unadorned thin sword.

This is the blacksmith in the army to take over the forging, and the material is the meteor hammer that Tian Xin carries with him.

On the material is already high-quality steel, Tian Xin built two in one go, each weighing four catties and eight taels, respectively engraved with the words day and month to distinguish.

Bafang Heavenly Halberd...... There is some excess power when riding in battle, although it is not tired, but it is a little shaking.

I also experienced an almost unparalleled riding battle, summed up my reaction ability, and found that the use of the Zhang Bafang Heavenly Halberd would limit my output, so I had this pair of Sun and Moon Horse Lances.

Yu Ban, who was watching all this, had a not very wonderful feeling, but he was even more curious, huddled together with Pang Lin, Ma Dai, Luo Qiong, Xu Zuo and others, and watched Tian Xin command the craftsmen to assemble the lance blade.

The blade was set on a 1 zhang 5 foot long handle and the whole length was 1 zhang 8 feet 2, and then the most complex trim adjustment began.

Like a weighing rod, the two horse lances are suspended with hemp rope at the tail two feet, and the copper hammer has been nailed, and now the copper ring is put on the top, and the balance is balanced with the counterweight, so as to achieve the equal weight of the head and tail balance when the clamp is used.

After leveling, no additional strength is required to maintain balance when charging with a lance in one arm.

Heavier lances can leave a copper ring in the middle front and connect with the tail of the lance with a rope, and the rope can also balance the weight on the shoulder, saving the user's physical strength.

The counterweight was completed, and when the balance suspension of the two lances rotated gently, Tian Xin breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at Yu Ban.

Several other people also turned their heads to look, and the two dozen or so strong blacksmiths around Tian Xin who were wearing fine linen coats and exposing their dark muscles on their chests and abdomen also looked at Yu Ban with malicious eyes.

These blacksmiths, like the soldiers who arrived here one after another, were encouraged by Tian Xin to cut off their long hair with scissors.

There is not much technical content in building scissors, all that is missing is concepts and models.

Under the eyes of these thick and strong men who learned from each other to cut hair, Yu Ban smiled: "Tian Junhou, the old and decrepit qi and blood have declined, and I am afraid that I will not be able to participate in the grand event anymore." ”

"I also have this concern, why don't you take the old general's beard?"

Tian Xin asked rhetorically, now that no one in the army has a beard, even Meng Da has shaved his sideburns.

There are so many people in the whole army who are not blind in their eyes, and the things hidden in their hair are obvious, especially the big beard on the chin, the rotten sores and pus cannot be seen, and the prickly heat and lice on the head are needless to say.

Tian Xin, a disciple of Dr. Han's own disciple among the refugees, was already influential enough to question the bad effects of growing hair and a thick beard on the body.

Let alone...... Do you really think you don't cut your hair?

Hair that is too long is always a bulk, so it is often trimmed to maintain a length that is not bulky and easy to tie.

Nails, hair, eyebrows, beards, what should be cleaned up for the sake of appearance is still being cleaned up, and the biggest reason for dragging it is that there are no convenient and efficient tools.

By the time the scissors were invented, it could no longer shake the absolute monopoly of the Song Dynasty.

If Tian Xin goes to the towns and towns to promote the benefits of short hair, I am afraid that nothing good will come of it.

But in the army, it is really very simple, and some battalions do not need Tian Xin himself to show up, and some officials take the lead in trimming their hair with distributed scissors.

The scalp doesn't lie, and you can feel the water being too cold, or the dullness caused by oily sweat.

After trimming the hair short, the feeling of being refreshed is something that only the person concerned can understand.

In particular, the various filths that emerge from the hair after trimming are absolutely disgusting.

The cleanliness of the military is one of the military disciplines.

The ancient generals were more or less aware of the benefits of clean clothing, but due to the limited environment, they were not able to achieve perfection.

In the blind army, except for some middle and high-ranking military officials, and scribes who have plenty of leisure time to take care of personal hygiene, almost all the rest have their hair cut, and some of the extreme ones will shave each other's hair with daggers.

Since he has the ability, prestige, courage and determination to make the lives of the people around him more comfortable and healthier, Tian Xin naturally wants to give it a try.

The implementation of simplified Chinese characters has stood on the opposite side of the family, are you still afraid of the slander brought by the promotion of short hair?

Mastering the army, who is afraid of whom?

A thief?

Who cares?

Tian Xin's contempt for the views and comments of the clan will naturally affect the people around him, just like Guan Yu, the people around Guan Yu don't respect the family very much.

Now Tian Xin asked for Yu Ban's hair beard in public, and Yu Ban was really relieved: "How much does Tian Junhou want?" ”

"A small bunch is enough."

Yu Zhong immediately stepped forward with Wang Mazi-style scissors and cut off two strands of silver-white hair for Yu Ban.

Before the lance blade was put on the fire trough, Tian Xin threw his white hair into ashes in an instant, and the lance blade passed through the fire, even if it was the final ceremony.

He teased Yu Ban here, and Tian Yu, Wen Ping, and Deng Fu, the lieutenant of Nanyang County, came together.

The three of them rode horses and walked on the side of the road, and it can be seen that there is an earthen city two miles away from the roadside, which was built by Cao Cao when he attacked Zhang Xiu, and the decisive battle between the two sides was in Anzhong Port in Anzhong County.

Not far from the Tucheng, I saw a team of 100 people descending the army, the northern army concentrated on labor, is repairing the west stone collapse, this is a water conservancy project to intercept the turbulent water, only this place can irrigate more than 5,000 hectares, that is, 500,000 acres of good land!

And there is Chu Yan in the northwest of Champion County, which inherits eight times from high to low, with a circumference of ten miles to store water, and now it has been abandoned and is in a state of repair.

Whether it is a war horse, a horse, or other livestock, they are ploughing the land at the moment.

A military official who followed them recounted: "If the pond is easy to repair, another crop of wheat can be planted this year." If it is difficult to repair, it will be planted into winter wheat. ”

Tian Yu asked: "How much can you sow this year?" ”

The military officer glanced at the sergeants who were clearing the wasteland everywhere on the left and right fields: "Not less than 150,000 acres, and the rest of the land is planted with beans and vegetables." It's a pity that the paddy fields opened by our army in the Yang Plug have not yet been raised and will be deserted. ”

When he got closer, Wen Ping saw clearly a group of soldiers resting on the side of the road, and couldn't help choking, and then looked closely, they were all short-haired soldiers, some wrapped in turbans, some were shaving Han water in their hair, and a few soldiers with shaved heads held bamboo hats and fanned the wind.

Tian Yu, who has been accustomed to border affairs for a long time, just glanced at it and didn't care, Wuhuan and Xianbei on the border have all kinds of strange hairstyles, but this kind of short hair after breaking hair that is popular in Wuyue area, as well as the bald head with the characteristics of Futu Sect popular in Xuzhou and Jiangdong, is somewhat novel to him.

He could naturally see the benefits of this hairstyle at a glance, but he was just silent and didn't care.

Yi soldiers, barbarians in Nanzhong, and Qin Huzhong also have the custom of scratching their faces to pray for the blessing and prayer of the leader, and it is possible that any strange customs are popular in the army.

The Han people who are addicted to divination are superstitious and blindly obedient, and they don't even need Tian Xin to fiddle with the facts and reason, as long as they hang up the Taiji diagram, saying that cutting their hair short is good for the body, can prolong life, and can aphrodisiac...... Some people cut their hair.

Nanyang County Lieutenant Deng Fu's expression became more and more unnatural, he didn't dare to imagine that the matter here had reached the front line, and he didn't know what Liu Bei and Guan Yu would think.

The farther north you go, the more short-haired, bald-headed soldiers you see, and many of the surrendered and Han armies have mixed together to take a lunch break to escape the heat.

Deng Fu's face couldn't help but be strange, not only him, but Tian Yu and Wen Ping also thought of some things, and their expressions changed a little.

Here the Han army wearing silk clothes and the army wearing fine linen clothes are surrendering ...... A year ago, about ninety out of five of them were still Wei soldiers, Wei soldiers wearing Han army clothes and armor!

Elbow and armpit troubles, maybe here.
