As for the hook setting, it seems that it is not well known.

Hook inlay is a common composite weapon in the Han Dynasty, combining hook and shield. This kind of weapon has three functions: defense, hook and push, and is generally used with the ring head knife. It has a somewhat bizarre appearance: in the center is a palm-sized square square iron plate with a vertical iron cone in the middle and a grip at the back; There is an iron bar on the top and bottom, and the tip of it is curved like a hook.

Liu Xi of the Han Dynasty said: "Hook inlay, two ends are called hooks, the center is called inlay, or push inlay, or hook lead, and it is appropriate to use it."

This kind of weapon has three functions: defense, hook and push, and when fighting, it is generally used to hook the enemy's long weapon with the hook inlay of the left hand (especially effective for the small branch that the halberd head is crossing), or used to block the enemy's weapon, and at the same time the right hand rings the head knife to attack the enemy. You can also push your body against the hook and push it forward, stabbing enemies with the iron cone in the middle of the shield. As a result, the role of the hook is much more positive than that of a shield that is purely defensive.

To say that Guo Bin changed his costume, he also put a lot of effort into it.

Let's talk about leather armor first, from the time Guo Bin arrived in Fulong Mountain and began to hunt in exchange for living materials, he had the idea of keeping the skins of tigers, bears and other animals and using them as leather armor. Later, when Xi Zhi gave Guo Bin an idea, he also proposed to buy cowhide for making leather armor. Therefore, in addition to grain, the largest number of cowhides and pig skins purchased in various places in the warehouses of Fulong Villa are purchased.

The assembly of the ring head knife did not have any twists and turns.

Guo Bin was under his impression that "in ancient times, it was forbidden to carry a sword. and did not dare to blatantly equip his subordinates with ring-headed knives. It wasn't until I communicated with Xi Zhicai that I learned that the Han Dynasty had never forbidden people to carry military blades.

It is recorded in the "Historical Records of the First Emperor of Qin": "(The First Emperor) collected the soldiers of the world, gathered in Xianyang, sold the front, cast as the twelve golden people, weighed thousands of stones, and placed them in the palace. Therefore, historians generally believe that the Qin Dynasty had a set of strict and standardized control systems for the production, distribution, collection, and management of weapons.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, so many researchers believe that the weapons control of the Han Dynasty was also very strict.

In the fourth year of Yuanzhen, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "raised the salt and iron in the world as an official government, except for (appointing) the rich people of the salt and iron family as officials." "Whoever dares to boil salt in iron casting, titanium left toe (that is, a six-pound iron lock on his left foot) is submerged in his utensils." This is the strategy of the salt and iron official camp implemented by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to increase the revenue of the national treasury and fight against the Xiongnu. In today's terms, it is a state-owned enterprise. It can be seen that the Han Dynasty's control over the production of iron tools was indeed very strict.

"Historical Records: Emperor Gao" recorded: "(Gaozu ordered) that the Jia people should not be clothed in splendid clothes, and they should be trained and ridden on horseback. ”

It means that Han Gaozu ordered that merchants should not wear precious fabrics such as brocade Qiluo, not hold swords, and not ride horses or chariots. This is a practice that greatly devalues the social status of merchants, and is the embodiment of the national policy of "resting with the people" and "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business" in the Han Dynasty. As a result, some people have come to the inference that weapons were not allowed in the Han Dynasty, which is really wrong.

Han Gaozu issued an edict that merchants were not allowed to carry military blades, which implied that "as long as they are not merchants, they are not prohibited." Therefore, this edict of Han Gaozu confirmed that the Han Dynasty did not prohibit the carrying of military blades.

And the "drill soldiers" mentioned in the edict probably refer specifically to the "sword". Because just as "Ge" and "Yue" can represent the supreme majesty of the emperor, "sword" is also a representative of scholars to show their identity and self-cultivation. It is recorded in "The Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin": "The young man in the Huaiyin Tu has insulted the faith, saying: "If you grow up, you can carry a sword, and you will be timid." It can be seen that "good with a sword" is indeed a great weapon to highlight the style, just like the intellectual youth in the sixties and seventies with enamel cups as high-end, atmospheric, and very high-grade.

In the "Historical Records: Taishi Gong's Preface", it is said: "Non-faithful, honest, benevolent and brave can not pass on the sword and the sword, which is consistent with the Tao, the internal can govern the body, the external can be adaptable, and the gentleman is more virtuous." It means that if you do not have the four virtues of "faith, honesty, benevolence, and bravery", you are not worthy of passing on the sword to the sword, (the sword) symbolizes the "Tao", you can cultivate yourself internally, and you can deal with mutations outside, and the gentleman compares it to "virtue".

Therefore, Liu Bang's edict was actually issued to degrade the status of merchants, not a ban on soldiers.

"Hanshu Wang Mang's Biography" recorded: "The forbidden people are not allowed to carry crossbow armor, and they are in vain." This means that it is forbidden for the people to keep crossbows and armor in their own hands, otherwise they will be exiled to remote places all over the world.

This is Wang Mang's explicit prohibition on carrying blades, but only "crossbows" and "armor" are mentioned, and there is no mention of swords, guns, swords, and halberds, in fact, this has been done in all dynasties.

Because the crossbow is the weapon that can cause the highest damage carried by a single soldier, it is the general existence of a sniper rifle in modern society, and it is an important weapon of the country, and it is understandable that it is not allowed to be privately possessed by the people. And the prohibition of "armor" seems to be incomprehensible.

In the era of cold weapons, a piece of leather armor could withstand the fire of most bows and arrows, and it could also block the slashing of light weapons (such as knives and swords). Iron armor, on the other hand, can resist the fire of crossbow arrows from a certain distance, and can well block the attacks of heavy weapons (such as horse lances and long knives). Thus, armor can give the soldier the courage to move forward fearlessly, to attack.

The reason why Zhang Liang valued Guo Bin's huge family property so much was because he could dress soldiers in leather armor. Qing Taizu Nurhachi raised troops, why did he only emphasize his thirteen pairs of armor? Why not the thirteen great swords? Or do thirteen horses seem a little richer? Because the thirteen pairs of armor were contraband, they were privately hidden, and they were not approved by the Ming Dynasty government, so they could be used as one of the most important assets at the beginning of his army.

Therefore, it can be seen that the Han Dynasty was tolerant of the people carrying swords. However, in contrast, the Han Dynasty was extremely strict with the circulation and export of iron tools. All counties that produce iron have iron officials, and even counties that do not produce iron must have small iron officials at the county level. Iron smelting and the production and sale of ironware were all the responsibility of the iron officer.

In addition, the Han Dynasty strictly forbade the flow of iron into foreign countries, and Empress Lu had forbidden the export of iron to South Vietnam.

Therefore, the benefits of the weapons of the Han Dynasty are unique in the world. It is recorded in "Zizhi Tongjian, Han Ji, Han Ji XXII": "Tang (i.e., Zhang Tang) said: "Fu Hu Bing is five and Han soldiers are one, which one?" The blade is blunt, and the bow and crossbow are unfavorable. Today, it is quite skillful, but it is still three and one. It means: "Hu Bing (referring to the army of ethnic minorities) needs five people to be a soldier of the Han Dynasty and use it alone, why?" It is the weapons and bows and crossbows that are rough and not sharp enough. Now I heard that I have learned the craftsmanship of the Han Dynasty, but I still need three people to be a Han soldier and use it alone. ”

It can be seen that the advantage of the Han Dynasty's soldiers is an important reason why the soldiers of the Han Dynasty can be one as five.

The soldiers of the Han Dynasty wore armor, armed with bows and crossbows, and steel knives, and fought against the Huns, who were dressed in robes, holding wooden bows, and even arrows made of stone or bone. The Xiongnu also learned the advanced technology of the Han Dynasty through various methods, and finally progressed from "five to one" to "three to one".

It can be seen that the so-called "I want to fight ten" in the Han Dynasty does not seem to be a myth for generals with martial arts.

Therefore, Guo Bin's self-righteousness made a big joke. Fortunately, Guo is thick-skinned, just like the corner of the newly built city wall in the Xicheng District of Yangzhai City, knowing that he has made a fuss, he asked He Jin for three thousand military ring knives (of course, it has to be paid) without blushing and heartbeat, and installed them as quickly as possible.

(Author's note: New people and new books, after all, there are many unsatisfactory points.) In his efforts to get rid of Xiaobaiwen, he intends to do his best to restore the details of history, so there are many convolutions, and the text is obscure and difficult. There are also many places to consult information and deduce arguments like papers. Admittedly, this book doesn't seem to be a good reading for elementary school students. In addition, there is a lot of information in the past few days, so it has just achieved a few days of daily two more and encountered setbacks. Regarding the detailed information about the bronze sword of the Qin State, CCTV's ten sets of "Exploration and Discovery" program has made a special feature for it, called "The Resurrected Army", an old program many years ago, interested friends can take a look. ）
