Chapter 226: Brocade Embroidered Spring Knife

Jinyiwei, the full name of "Jinyi pro-army command envoy", formerly known as the "Gongwei Division" established by Zhu Yuanzhang, was later renamed "pro-army Governor's Mansion", which governs the Yiluan Division and is in charge of the emperor's honor guard and guards. In the fifteenth year of Hongwu (1382), the pro-army Governor's Mansion and Yiluan Division were abolished, and the Jinyi Guard was replaced. As a military institution of the emperor's bodyguard, Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to strengthen the centralized rule, specially ordered him to take charge of the prison, gave him the right to inspect and arrest, and set up a pacification department to engage in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities.

Zhu Yuanzhang set up Jinyiwei for the purpose of eliminating heroes, fabricating accusations and putting the innocent to death. Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that after his death, the next generation of emperors would not be able to control the civil and military warriors, so he set up several prisons, and under the pretext of several excuses, he slaughtered all the civil and military heroes who assisted him in fighting the world. The Criminal Law Chronicle recorded: "The two cases of Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu are 40,000 yuan. "You can see how fierce it is. At the beginning of the figurine, it was the product of the emperor's improper mental skills, so its sequelae were also particularly serious.

The Jinyi Guard was first and foremost the emperor's bodyguards and honor guards, consisting of generals, captains, and wrestlers. The general's initial name was "Tianwu", and he was renamed "General of the Han Dynasty" in Yongle, and selected those with majestic appearance and courage to serve as palace guards. Captains and wrestlers choose their electors

Men who are in good health and have no criminal records fill the position, the captain is in charge of the halogen book and umbrella cover, and the wrestler holds the golden drum and flag.

When there was no court meeting in Pingyue, the guards were on duty at the four gates of the imperial city, but the general of the Jinyi guard guarded outside the noon gate day and night, a total of 100 people. The noon gate is the main gate of the palace city, which shows the high status of the brocade guard.

When the emperor listened to the government at the imperial gate of Fengtianmen, a member of the Shangguan of the Jinyi Guard stood on the west side of the throne and was responsible for delivering the decree. One hundred and twenty-nine generals of Jinyiwei, two thousand households, and four hundred households, respectively guarded in front of the gates of Danma, Yudao, Jinshui Bridge and Fengtianmen Square. In addition, there are 500 captains of the Jinyi Guard, lined up inside and outside the noon gate, responsible for sounding the whip and holding the honor guard.

Every year, there are three major court meetings on New Year's Day, Winter Solstice, and Wanshou Festival, and Jinyiwei and other pro-soldiers assume the duties of guards and honor guards. There were more than 4,000 people in the honor guard, including 1,500 Jinyi guards. During the court meeting, the closest to the emperor is the Jinyi Guard, who serves left and right at any time and is at the disposal of the emperor.

Whenever the emperor left the palace for sacrifices or parades, the brocade guards also had to obey before driving. Some of them were responsible for patrolling along the way, some were responsible for transmitting news between Luanjiao and the capital, and some were riding beside the car, passing on the ups and downs of the imperial chariot.

Yang Guang didn't have a good impression of Jin Yiwei, but he focused on studying Jin Yiwei, because the shadow army trained him not only to have the top guard skills, but also to have the top killing skills.

And Jinyiwei is a mountain that can't be crossed.

Whether it is killing or guarding, Jinyi Wei is definitely first-class and outstanding in thousands of years of Chinese history. The Shadow Killer Battalion Purple Soul he has set up now is actually a Jinyi Guard himself, but he doesn't want to admit it, he doesn't want the Jinyi Guard, which has been infamous for a hundred years in future generations, to be created by him single-handedly from the Great Weekend Period.

But the killing, coupled with Du Meiyue's surveillance investigation just now, isn't this what Jinyiwei is?

Yang Guang's mind suddenly flashed with two symbols of Jinyiwei, Jinyi Flying Fish Suit and Jinyi Embroidered Spring Knife.

The flying fish python also has two horns. The so-called flying fish pattern is a python shape and the fish fin and tail are slightly different, not really a flying fish shape. Flying Fish Pattern, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas? Overseas West Longitude": "The Arowana Mausoleum lives in its north, like a raccoon dog. "Because it can fly, so a flying fish, the head is like a dragon, the corner of the fish body, the clothing is connected by the upper and lower parts, there are subdivisions under it, and there are folds on both sides.

The flying fish costume is a grand costume second to the python robe. During the Zhengde period, if Wu Ben participated (general) and guerrilla (attacked) below, he had to fly fish suits. During the years of Jiajing and Longqing, this kind of costume also praised the ministers of the six ministries and the marshal who went out of the town to see the master, etc., and there were rewards for those who obeyed. Officials must have a certain grade before they are allowed to wear flying fish suits.

But Jinyiwei can just wear the flying fish suit, and it is a gift from the emperor.

First of all, he was sure in his heart that this thing could be secretly used in the Shadow Killer Camp first, this dress was handsome when he thought about it, and even he couldn't wait to let Du Meiyue get it immediately.

He was even more interested in the brocade embroidered spring knife, which was the standard saber of the Ming Dynasty secret service Jinyiwei. The shape of the embroidered spring knife combines the characteristics of the Tang knife and the Shaolin plum blossom knife and the single knife, which is mainly lightweight, and at the same time narrow and slightly curved, which is easy to carry and attack at a medium distance.

The prototype of the embroidered spring knife is the Tang knife, a weapon of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the appearance and style are similar to the Tang knife and the Dongying knife, and the Dongying katana is based on the transformation of the embroidered spring knife, but the ridge of the embroidered spring knife is straight, unlike the Dongying knife, which is curved. The embroidered spring knife can be stabbed and slashed, and the lethality at that time was very good, and it was light and easy to carry.

The origin of the name of the embroidered spring knife is probably because the characteristics of the weapon seem to be more feminine, hence the name.

The embroidered spring knife is a standard weapon worn by the brocade guard, the steel quality is excellent, the more high-ranking people, the purer the material of the embroidered spring knife received, and the casting of more layers of procedures, it is said that in addition to iron, it is also mixed with other metals, so that the blade is extremely sharp.

The embroidered spring knife is longer than the single knife, slightly shorter than the general long sword, the shape is a thick back and thin blade, like a razor, but the whole blade has a curve, the handle is quite long, can be used with both hands, not only conducive to foot combat, but also suitable for horse warfare, a knife to cut down, enough to cut off the entire horse head.

Hmph, embroidered spring knife, okay, okay, let him be born hundreds of years in advance. Hmph, it's a pity that such a good sword has not been passed on, but was taken advantage of by Xiao Dongying and became their katana, but it has become the best sword recognized by later generations!

Fortunately, he had studied the forging process of the embroidered spring knife and the katana in his later life, although he did not remember every step now, but he was sure that as long as he gave him a few of the best blacksmiths and the best swordsmith and gave him time, he would definitely be able to make an extremely sharp embroidered spring knife hundreds of years in advance.

Hmph, the Western Regions War Horse plus embroidered spring knife, plus the double combination training method of the Fengzi battalion and the shadow troops, the shadow knight battalion he trained will be renamed sooner or later, called, Dragoon, he will definitely take his dragoon army to attack the city and evaporate the world!

The lands of the Great Zhou, Northern Qi, Southern Chen, Goguryeo plus the Western Regions? At this moment, he is no longer satisfied, he wants the whole world!

But the more this is the case, the more he has to secretly accumulate strength, the more he wants to let a generation of Ming lord Yang Jian build a foundation for him for at least ten years, Yang Jian is on top and he is below, hehe, let their father and son work together to completely improve the economy of the Great Sui first and become the richest country!

He was not a person who could only dream, so he immediately raised his hand and called a horseman not far away, "Go and call Li Zhong!" ”

As for the old cat's code name, it is only between him and the old cat, on the surface, Li Zhong is still Li Zhong, a useless sick tuberculosis who coughs up blood all day long.

Li Zhong is studying how to repair and renovate the horses in the stable, and how to do the most with the least money. Hearing that the young master told him to immediately trot over, "Young master, what are the instructions for the old slave?" ”

Yang Guang smiled faintly, "Immediately send someone to secretly find the best blacksmith and swordsman in the imperial city, and the young master will personally study a sharper and better combat knife!" ”
