Liang Deputy Qianhu once again went away sadly, the last time he went away with him was a hundred and ten catties of watermelons, this time it was a knife. Although he swore that 'the Ming general could not use a sword', he still took away the spoils without hesitation, and he seemed so calm. For him, Longshan Baihu is simply his nightmare, every time he comes here, he can be embarrassed, whether it is face or physical object, he can drop something more or less, but this time he has to make a gain no matter what, try to win back some face--- in front of his subordinates.

Zhang Mingyuan doesn't care, the knife was not his, and it won't hurt anyone to give it to anyone, but it is a small show of disloyalty that Hanpi dares to hide it from himself and secretly hide it, and he must give a perfect explanation. I believe that Hanpi, who is currently a little enlightened, can also understand that with his two unwarning 'chicken and duck talking'-style open routine, he will only be indifferent to this, or ignore it indifferently, and maybe he will think that he will be complacent about the superior leader because of this!

Although the face is open, the heart is miserable.

Compared with ordinary people, the difference between the people who cross is still very big, for example, through the comparison of knives, others see that it is full of embarrassing jokes, but Zhang Mingyuan, who prides himself on being a multi-functional talent, sees the lack of Ming standard ordnance.

After the Battle of Longshan, every time he thought about the tragic situation of the battle, Zhang Mingyuan without exception thought of the problem of the lack of standard ordnance of the Ming army, especially the most commonly used steel knife in the Ming army. After the battle, looking at the fragments of broken knives all over the ground, Zhang Mingyuan was very sad, the poor combat effectiveness of the Ming army was an important reason, but if there was no powerful weapon, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness was, it might not be able to win.

The ancient Chinese forging sword technology is broad and profound, it is one of the earliest countries in the world to produce steel knives, the history can be traced back to more than 2500 years ago, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the iron-smelting technology invented by the working people is very developed, the two Han Dynasty hundred steel knives, the Three Kingdoms fried steel knives, and the Tang Dynasty Mo knives are extremely great inventions, which have profoundly affected the development of Chinese history.

However, with the passage of time, the feudal rulers' reserved centralized thinking became more and more serious, and in order to maintain the stability of the ruling class, the production and use of folk iron tools were strictly delineated, which indirectly limited the development of smelting technology, resulting in the gradual loss of a large number of excellent refining processes.

Who can be blamed for this? The blame can only be blamed on the attitude of the imperial dynasties towards folk ironware.

Book lovers who are relatively familiar with history may know the allusion of 'kitchen knives are common'.

In order to prevent the armed resistance of the people, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty controlled the civil iron tools to an unprecedented perversion, and even the kitchen knives were controlled. At that time, it was stipulated that twenty households were one Jia, and a kitchen knife was shared, and the kitchen knife was kept in the hands of the first chief, and he wanted to cut vegetables to find the leader, but later the first chief felt troublesome, so he locked the kitchen knife next to the well, and if he wanted to use it, he took the key and opened the box to get it.

As a result, every dusk, next to the wells in the streets and alleys of various cities, there will be more than a dozen or even dozens of big girls, little daughters-in-law, and old ladies gathered together, lining up to cut vegetables while washing vegetables, which is a very pleasing scene...........

The water well is destined to become a marriage matchmaking place with a high success rate, and it is also destined to create a great wonder in the history of Chinese weapons.

Of course, it must also be a major event in the history of Chinese cuisine.

'Drink wine in large gulps and eat meat in large portions. The allusion must be known to everyone, from the Song Yuanping drama "Water Margin", those Liangshan heroes are all good men who drink big drinks and eat meat in large pieces, perhaps these descriptions certainly have the novelists want to express the heroic elements of the heroes, but it is undeniable that the cooks in the village shop at that time did not have time to go to the well to get a kitchen knife to cut the meat. As a result, large pieces of meat can only be directly served to the guests to eat, which indirectly contributes to the heroic spirit of the heroes of Liangshan, which is the key to it.

Drawing inferences from one another, the heroes of the Water Margin have shown a lot of heroism by drinking wine and eating meat in large pieces, and when they think of this, the heroic image that has always been due to eating meat in their hearts has almost disappeared; Then I thought about it again, the gentle woman opened the cherry mouth, her cheeks were sad and she ate a large piece of meat, and the image of my fair lady disappeared...........

.................

Speaking of the sword, the pinnacle of low-temperature smelting, forging and quenching techniques, it is a very unique and distinctive weapon in terms of material acquisition and forging and heat treatment technology.

Since the Han Dynasty, the technology of forging swords has continued to flow into Toei, and with the introduction of more and more advanced steel smelting technology and sword-making techniques, the sword-making technology has finally stabilized in this island nation after a certain period of development in Toei, and developed into a unique Japanese sword-making system. Even now, it has not changed much from the Japanese sword system of five or six hundred years ago.

The culture of bushido continued to develop the art of sword forging, and also profoundly influenced the cause of the Ming Dynasty's anti-Japanese war.

Therefore, the re-improvement of the saber became another idea of Zhang Mingyuan.

General Qi also has a move to improve the meow knife, but that is a long time later, don't treat people, don't care about it first, invite him to refer to it when improving the saber, it is also of great benefit to its growth and upgrading, of course, only improve the saber, and the rest of the weapons are resolutely not touched, or there is a suspicion of plagiarism.

Fortunately, in the previous life of the special forces career, when practicing the standard saber, I had a great interest, when I had nothing to do, I read the ancient forging sword technology, I remember that it seems to have introduced the ancient hundred refining pattern steel forging skills, you can take it and try it, no matter how bad it is, it is also a method, whether it can succeed depends on the will of God, if Qi Ming General is interested, he can also learn lessons from it, and it must also help him improve weapons in the future!

Ideals come from action, and Zhang Mingyuan decided to use the limited time to accomplish this feat as soon as possible.

The strong heart is very well established, but the forging method and procedure are really not very clear, it seems that pig iron, wrought iron, and steel are organically tempered together, and they are heated at high temperature in the furnace....... Repeated forging ...... Folding forging – three folds at a time...... It can be folded up to 10 times, and can reach more than 1,000 layers......... In this way, the surface texture of the forged steel knife is complex and clear, and the sharp edge contains serrated teeth............

The brain is very messy, specific to the details, the brain is a mess, no matter what, it's okay to verify it repeatedly!

..............

The news that Zhang Mingyuan was going to improve the sword forging technique spread out, flying all over the entire Guanhaiwei, without exception, it was still full of gossip, doubters, and ridiculers.........

General Qi Mingming was very excited, on the day when the rumors spread to Guanhaiwei's command envoy, he came to the Longshan Baihu Office, he originally had the idea of improving the saber, and he really admired Zhang Mingyuan's talent too much, and now there is finally a person who dares to risk the world's disapproval to improve the saber, so it is rare to blindly worship it.

"Well, it's a good thing to be ambitious at a young age, how can you do it without ambition? What is missing, even if I say, I have instructed all the blacksmiths of Guanhaiwei to fully cooperate with you, and if any craftsman is disobedient, even if he tells me, I will not believe it and will not be able to do it? Of course, I admire you very much, brother! Don't let me down, or you'll be disposed of. Qi Ming slapped his chest loudly, and said something that might have been half encouraging and half threatening to Zhang Mingyuan's pessimistic and misanthropic mood a few days ago.

Looking at General Qi's excited handsome face, Zhang Mingyuan's thoughts spread quickly......

It is an indisputable fact that General Qi will improve the saber, is it a bit unkind if I occupy the magpie's nest? It didn't seem to do any good to hit his fragile glass heart........... But what do you need? Uh-huh, that's it!
