Chapter 180: Forgetting the battle is dangerous

Wu Da Prawn sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then said: "As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a large number of refugees from the Central Plains, because they could not bear the pain of war, successively carried a large number of bronze 'Ge', 'swords', etc., and fled to the island country.

More than 200 years later, during the Qin and Han dynasties in China, there were another large-scale migration, and iron tools were introduced to the island countries one after another.

During the Three Kingdoms period of the Later Han Dynasty, the queen of the island country of Yamatai sent envoys to pay tribute to Wei four times, and received silk, bronze mirrors and a large number of weapons such as 'iron spears' and 'iron swords' from Emperor Wei Ming.

The exact origin of kendo is not verified, but according to historical records, the word "sword" appeared many times in the Nara period more than 1,000 years ago.

In the Heian period of the island country, the title of "Taidao Da" was popular, and the Taidao at this time was also a copycat version of the "Tang Taidao" in China.

It can be seen from this that the island country kendo was influenced by the Chinese sword martial arts.

In the Edo period, 1603----1867, kendo was renamed the 'Art of War'.

At that time, the Art of War was popular in the island nation and was known as the 'Art of War', while the Way of the Sword was known as the 'Art of War'.

Through the above historical facts, it can be seen that the so-called kendo of the island country, its birthplace is in China, General Qi Jiguang through the "Ape Flying Yin Flow" swordsmanship, and then created the "Xinyou Sword Method", which can only be said to be a return to the source, to say that it is not a Chinese thing. ’

", so that's the case, junior brother, if you don't say it, Huo Ye, I really think that this thing of kendo is the original goods of their island country."

But speaking of which, Huo Ye still has a question, that is, since I have long had a sword technique in Huaxia, which is similar to the sword technique of the island country, why did General Qi Jiguang still learn from the swordsmanship of "Ape Flying Yin Flow" and recreate the "Xinyou Sword Technique"? ’

"Senior Brother Huo, let's talk about this foolish brother. ’

Chen Zhen took over the conversation and said, "My two-handed sword and two-handed knife in Huaxia gradually began to decline from the Song Dynasty. The main reason is the lack of horses in the Song Dynasty. ’

As soon as Chen Zhen said this, he was interrupted by Huo Diange's children's shoes: 'Lack of horses? What's going on? There is also the lack of horses and two-handed swords, and the decline of two-handed swords, and how many eldest sons are dropped? ’

Of course, it has something to do with it, during the Han and Tang dynasties, China's national strength was at its peak, and it was in a strategic offensive posture against Siyi for a long time. This offensive is naturally inseparable from strong cavalry, so at this stage, due to the needs of the situation, the country has formed a strong cavalry team.

With a high-level cavalry team to cover up, when the Central Plains Dynasty competed with the northern nomads, the infantry group did not have to worry too much about the cavalry attack of the enemy's light cavalry.

As a result, a large number of crossbowmen, archers, and infantry armed with two-handed swords (Han swords) and two-handed swords (Tang swords) came into play.

Among the arms holding two-handed swords, taking the Tang Mo Sword Army as an example, the history is known as 'Mo knife wielding, like a wall; When the heir of the sword (hussar general Li Siye), everyone is broken. ’

In this history book, it is said that the Modao Army 'marched like a wall', which shows that when this army fought against the cavalry, it did not set up a large formation of passive defense, but took the initiative to attack head-on.

In addition, in the process of attacking, it is necessary to achieve 'those who are the heirs of the sword, and everyone is broken'. To do this, it is obviously necessary to use a two-handed sword, which is a violent slash, and it is obviously difficult to do it with a one-handed sword.

It can be seen that during the heyday of the Han and Tang dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty maintained a strategic offensive posture against the nomads for a long time, which led to the two-handed sword becoming the backbone of the decisive victory on the battlefield, which led to the fact that during this period, the two-handed sword technique became the mainstream.

Since the Song Dynasty, due to the traditional horse herding land of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, which had been occupied by the Khitans during the Fifth Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, the lack of cavalry in the imperial court, and some other reasons, it was in a strategic defensive posture against the northern nomads all the year round.

At this time, the first consideration of the infantry group was to defend the city, even if it was forced to fight with the nomadic cavalry in the field, due to the lack of cavalry cover to drive out the enemy in the form of cavalry shooting, the light cavalry that attacked and harassed, had to give up the heavy infantry with both hands and swords, and changed them to pikemen with heavy armor and could put on a hedgehog formation to defend like a mountain, as well as sword and shield soldiers, supplemented by a large number of crossbowmen and crossbowmen to snipe the enemy from a distance.

To put it bluntly, this formation is just a hedgehog that can spray stinging needles, so that others can't speak. No matter how powerful this hedgehog is, it is a hedgehog, and it is no longer a tiger wolf.

It was also from this period that the martial spirit of China began to slowly disappear, which eventually led to the breaking of the dream of Yashan and the sinking of the Central Plains.

It is precisely because from this period that the two-handed sword is no longer the backbone of the decisive battle, and slowly this two-handed sword technique has lost its inheritance in the Central Plains Dynasty, but it is a country like the island country that has carried it forward.

Later, the Yuan Dynasty, including the former Qing Dynasty, relied on cavalry to win the world, and did not pay attention to infantry at all.

On the contrary, in the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang, Mao Yuanyi and other military strategists, through the invasion of the Japanese invaders, saw the huge lethality of two-handed swords again, so they were worried about armament, so they began to combine the sword skills of the island country to excavate and sort out this skill that had long been lost in China.

This is the past and present life of the "Xinyou Knife Method". ’

',,, brother! Just a set of knife techniques, you can quote the classics, and sprinkle a whole article, if you want to put it aside for a while, you take a martial arts exam that is not like playing?

Anyway, they are all people who practice martial arts, Huo Ye, I don't know this, is this Nima gap so big? ’

After listening to Chen Zhen's reasoned and well-founded analysis, Huo Diange's children's shoes were full of little stars, so he took out a small notebook and asked Chen Zhen to sign it.

So you usually boast that you know the general idea of reading books, but in fact you don't know how to learn! How about Senior Brother Huo, do you know the gap? ’

Huo Diange children's shoes sighed at this time, and Wu Da Prawn complained on the side.

", junior brother, don't talk about Huo Ye and me, people don't know, I still think that you are rich and rich, you dare to say what Senior Brother Fang Cai said, did you already know?" ’

Huo Diange children's shoes could not suffer, and directly replied to Wu prawns.

'Senior Brother Huo, you don't know how to learn and don't know, don't get involved with your senior brother and me, I really know what Senior Brother Fang said.

Not only do you know this, but I can also put forward some slightly different opinions, do you believe it? ’

'Oh? Different opinions? Come and listen! ’

This time, without waiting for Huo Diange's children's shoes to speak, Chen Zhen had already preemptively spoken.

'Senior brother, don't listen to him, this is better than Huo Ye, I know best, Ya Ming is going to pull out Uncle Jin's wild history as an argument to refute you.

Anyway, we haven't read Uncle Jin's wild history, and it's not like it's what he says. ’

Before Wu Da Prawn could speak, this Huo Diange children's shoes said a sentence on the side.

'Senior Brother Huo, this time the little brother really doesn't use Uncle Jin's version of the wild history as an argument, do you believe it or not? Why don't we make a bet, and the fifth senior brother will testify on the side. ’

As soon as Huo Diange children's shoes heard Wu Da Prawn say this, combined with the fact that this comparison didn't seem to be unreliable, he immediately withered.

It's just that in line with the principle of the gentleman not falling down, he said: 'Nima, bet and gamble, you know how to gamble, okay, let's say that now and now, that is also the identity of the Grandmaster of Huajin, don't be like the members of the community under President Chang all day long, and you are not afraid of falling." ’

Well, this is more than an instant selective forgetfulness of who was the first to shout to go to Ma Erwa's temporary handicap to place a bet not long ago!

Wu Da Prawn saw that this was better than accepting the move, and he didn't bother to bother with him anymore, so he turned to Chen Zhen and smiled: "Fifth Senior Brother Fang's analysis can be said to be clear, and the reason for the decline of these two-handed sword techniques in Huaxia has been completely explained. Senior brother, I can say that 'listening to your words is better than reading for ten years', and I feel like I see a sunny day through the clouds......

"Senior Brother Wu, don't say anything nice, foolish brother knows that you often have different opinions, which can be thought-provoking, and there are no outsiders here, so you don't hide your secrets, say it so that we can improve together." ’

Before Wu Da Prawn finished speaking, Chen Zhen interrupted him with a smile.

'Actually, it's nothing, what the fifth senior brother said is right, it's just that you just said that the Song Dynasty was due to the loss of traditional horse grazing lands such as Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, which led to a lack of horses, so it was not possible to form a cavalry, junior brother, I dare not agree. ’

'Oh? Isn't it? What is Senior Brother Wu's opinion? Chen Zhen asked very sincerely.

Even Huo Diange's children's shoes on the side pricked up their ears at this time, ready to listen to Wu Da Prawn be able to say something shocking.

Wu Da Prawn sorted out his thoughts, and said with a rare heavy expression: "Don't say anything else, just in the first year of Jingkang, when the Northern Song Dynasty Tokyo City was broken, Jin Bing also scavenged more than 20,000 good horses from the Mutuogang Royal Horse Farm, can this be said to be a lack of horses?"

It can be said that these horses failed to play the role of defending the country at all, and in the end they all cheapened the invaders. It can be said that this is similar to the period before the Qing Dynasty, when Lafayette took the military expenses of the Beiyang Navy Division and repaired the garden.

It's still the same sentence, 'Although the country is big, the belligerent will perish, and forgetting the war will be dangerous'! ’

Speaking of this, Wu Da Prawn picked up the gourd and took a sip of water, and continued: "However, in the eyes of the younger brother, the pot of the Northern Song Dynasty cannot be carried by the artist Zhao Jixiang and his old man. ’

'Oh? Why is this? Huo Diange children's shoes said curiously.

'Huh...... Their old Zhao family, since the sorghum river car god played donkey cart drift, has broken the backbone, the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, you still point to the artist Zhao Jixiang strong master Shengzu! ’

', junior brother, what the hell is the god of the sorghum river? Huo Diange children's shoes continued to dig into the roots.

It was Zhao Erbei, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, who used some shady means, and after seizing the bird position, in order to prove that he was more capable than Zhao, he launched the Northern Expedition to Liao.

Because he didn't know how to fight and commanded blindly all the way, the Song army fought very hard, and often did half the work. In the end, it also gave the enemy a chance to send reinforcements to surprise him.

At that time, the Song army was also really strong, even if it encountered a surprise attack, it also carried it, not only that, but as time went by, the Song army gradually broke back to its disadvantage, and the Liao army had a harbinger of the collapse of the whole army.

At this critical moment, the Liao general Yelu Xiuge took the lead and led the team to attack Zhao Erhuang's umbrella cover, Zhao Er actually threw down the army, hit the horse and ran, and his run directly led to the collapse of the whole army.

This is more than in the process of running, the arrow in the butt can not ride a horse, had to change a donkey cart, play drag racing, I didn't expect this than to drive on the donkey cart, actually show their might all the way to drift, after running all night, finally get rid of the enemy, which also achieved the legend of a generation of car gods.

It's just that since then, the backbone of the Song army has been broken, the Northern Expedition has become an empty word, and the country's strategy against the northern nomads has also changed from a strategic offensive posture to a strategic defensive posture.

Therefore, according to the younger brother, this is the beginning of the lack of martial spirit. ’

', the donkey cart has run past the war horse, this Nima and this car god name is really worthy of its name! It seems that Huo Ye and I want to practice my driving skills, and I really have nothing to do to say goodbye to this ancestor in the drag racing world. ’

After Wu Da Prawn finished talking for a while, Huo Diange children's shoes reacted and complained.

'It's still the junior brother who sees it thoroughly, and listening to your analysis, it's really like this. It's just that it's time for me to go to Li Zhenglin, Wang Zhongneng and others to discuss the method of weapon technical attack. ’

After Chen Zhen gave Wu Da Prawn a thumbs up, he proposed.

"Well, you don't need to watch the hand-to-hand and boxing matches behind this, let's go find someone to exchange weapons and techniques now." ’

Wu Da Prawn nodded.

Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
