Gu Dayong is from a factory guard, and he is familiar with such things, and he is actually helpless when he admonishes him like this. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the past, it was he who used Ye Chunqiu, and Ye Chunqiu had nothing to do with him, and he didn't care if you lived or died.

But now it's different, Gu Dayong found himself in a situation of isolation, he couldn't die anymore at this time, then Liu Jin and Zhang Yong probably hated him to death, since it was difficult to be opportunistic, now of course I hope that Ye Chunqiu can live well and be happy to live, for him, it is many friends and many roads.

Ye Chunqiu nodded at him and said, "Thanks for reminding me." ”

Gu Dayong smiled, but this smile was slightly embarrassed, said hello, and left.

Ye Chunqiu slowly walked into the warm pavilion at this time.

In the warm pavilion, Zhu Houzhao was squinting and napping on the soft collapse, and only then opened his eyes when he heard the movement: "Oh, Ye Aiqing, I'm waiting for you to be in a hurry, I haven't seen you for some days, what have you been doing?" What about the Forces nouvelles? ”

Ye Chunqiu first saluted Zhu Houzhao meticulously: "I have seen Your Majesty, the minister has been forging ordnance these days. ”

This guy ...... He's really proficient in everything.

Zhu Houzhao cheered up, his eyes flashed brightly, and said, "Is there any effect?" I'd love to see it. ”

Ye Chunqiu said: "Your Majesty, the minister has already brought some samples, all of which are outside the noon gate, and they are being finalized now, and I want to ask Your Majesty to call the shots." ”

He knew that Zhu Houzhao liked this, so he was willing to let Zhu Houzhao participate, after the alloy steel was refined, Ye Chunqiu asked the craftsmen to put down everything in their hands first, and roughly build all kinds of weapons first.

Ye Chunqiu has made almost all the weapons in the world, from European heavy swords, to Chinese spears, long knives, halberds to scimitars, maces, etc., whether you like it or not, try to make one, and then come to Zhu Houzhao as a staff officer.

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately became interested, and said anxiously: "Quick, ask someone to move here, I want to take a look." ”

Commanding a eunuch, Zhu Houzhao rubbed his hands excitedly, and there was a feeling that he finally had a share of me.

When the many weapons and armor carried by Ye Chunqiu were moved, Zhu Houzhao first picked up a knife.

Strange to say, this one-handed knife suddenly made Zhu Houzhao feel different.

How to say it, it looks very imposing, before he wanted to pick it up, he thought that this knife was at least six or seven catties, but after starting it, he found that it was light.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say suspiciously: "It's so light." ”

Waved it, he felt that the grip was good, and the most important thing was that this knife seemed to be formed in one piece, which was rare, because the vast majority of knives in this era were forged, because the melting point of steel could not be reached, so it could only be burned red first, and the steel was softer, so it was like kneading dough, constantly hammering, and the impurities and bubbles in it were knocked out, and such a blade would inevitably produce bubbles after all, if it was a fine sword, it would be fine, but don't forget, The sword used by an ordinary soldier, who would ask a craftsman to forge it for you every day, and temper it thousands of times?

So in essence, the Ming Dynasty is not without good weapons, but the vast majority of weapons are very inferior, Zhu Houzhao is the Son of Heaven, the weapons he sees are of course very sophisticated, but they are only forged steel casting, because the steel strength of this era is limited, if it is too slender, it is inevitably easy to break, so the most popular in this era is not the kind of slender blades, often heavy machetes and back knives.

But now the knife in Zhu Houzhao's hand is much more slender than the knife in the ordinary sense, obviously Ye Chunqiu is not afraid of it breaking, holding it in his hand, it is light and fluttering, at most it is only one or two catties.

Zhu Houzhao waved a few times, and immediately became amazed, he had seen a lot of sharp weapons, but it seemed to be such a light and fluttering steel knife, but it was the first time he had seen it, he ordered someone to take a wooden stake, and cut it horizontally, this long knife that looked light and fluttering was actually quite sharp, and all of a sudden, the fist-sized wooden stake was broken in response, and the incision was neat.

This sword is still on top of the sword.

Zhu Houzhao was shocked and said: "I like this knife very much!" He accepted it very politely, and then selected many weapons from the weapons to try.

Ye Chunqiu said: "Your Majesty, the minister's plan is that each new army needs to be equipped with three kinds of blades, one is a dagger, this dagger may not be used to kill the enemy, but it can be used for self-defense, and can be used as a tool during the march, and the other is a saber, the minister can't make up his mind between the knife and the sword, Your Majesty look at this." ”

Zhu Houzhao followed Ye Chunqiu's gaze and landed on a straight knife, this straight knife was half a zhang long, Zhu Houzhao picked it up, but it was more than one or two weights, it was very light, the blade was very light and thin, but there was no bend and arc on the blade, but it looked like a straight sword.

Ye Chunqiu said: "This is made by the minister according to the straight knife style of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty might as well give it a try." ”

The straight knife of the Tang Dynasty was actually similar to the Japanese knife, which was originally evolved from the straight knife, but soon, this straight knife was eliminated.

The reason for the elimination is not because of any shortcomings in this straight knife, but because of social changes. The more slender the blade, in fact, the greater the cost, because the smelting technology of this era is not good, if you want to make too light and thin, you have to use the best quality steel, the Tang Dynasty, the nobles are proud to wear swords, and they are naturally willing to spend a lot of money to forge this straight knife, but after the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the country gradually repressed the military force, so that such a straight knife lost the market, why not? It's just that the nobles and the rich are ashamed to wear weapons, and the ordinary warriors are so contemptuous that they are thieves and vulgar people.

In other words, there is only a group of 'untouchables' left as soldiers, and it is difficult for the untouchables to even fill their stomachs, so it is naturally impossible to forge any magic weapons at a high price, although the imperial court will also establish a bureau to be responsible for the manufacture of this weapon, but it is even more impossible for the imperial court to spend a lot of money to equip Qiu Bamen with straight knives.

Good steel, of course, is not for you, but if it is a slender weapon made of inferior steel to make a straight knife, it is often broken before it hits people, so ...... Since the steel is of inferior quality, in order to prevent it from breaking, it will be thickened, and finally, when the Tang knife evolved into a Ming knife, the knife became thicker and heavier, and the thicker it was, the more it was actually closely related to shoddy work.

Ye Chunqiu's straight knife made of alloy steel completely solved this problem, and it was even tougher and sharper than the refined Tang knife that had been tempered thousands of times in the Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao held a light and fluttering straight knife in his hand, and his heart rippled for no reason: "What a knife." (To be continued.) )
