Early the next morning, Shen Yi said hello to Li Mu and went out with Zheng Hu.
Zheng Hu took Shen Yi to the most famous blacksmith shop in Linhai County. However, the old blacksmith was an authentic Linhai person and could not hear clearly what he was saying. Fortunately, Zheng Hu brought Yang Wu with him, and Yang Wu was doing it for Shen Yi. As a translator, Shen Yi quickly put the drawings he had drawn for half a night in front of the old blacksmith, pointed at the upper half of the wolf's sword, and said: "Old man, I want to make a handful of this kind of thing. Take a look. Can I fight?"
The handle of the wolf sword is made of bamboo, and the head is also a branch like a tree branch. The coverage is very wide. Theoretically speaking, as long as you strike in front of you, no matter which direction the enemy draws the sword from, it will be easily blocked and held up, and the weapon will also be blocked. Unable to move.
The only drawback is that this thing is a bit bulky.
Even if the handle is made of moso bamboo, the weight of this thing is as high as ten kilograms, and it requires a strong person to move it.
This old blacksmith has been making iron tools all his life. After seeing Shen Yi's drawings, he just glanced at them and nodded happily: "It can be made, but it will take two or three days."
Shen Yi looked at the work in the old man's hands, took out a piece of silver from his arms, put it on the table beside him, and said: "Old man, I'm going to get it today. You can put aside the work in hand as soon as possible. type it out."
The old man looked up at Shen Yi, then at the silver on the table, then nodded and asked, "How thick is the handle?"
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, I'm going to use moso bamboo as the handle."
He turned back to look at Zheng Hu and said in a deep voice: "Go find a strong bamboo."
Zheng Hu nodded immediately, turned around and went to find the bamboo. Not long after, the bamboo was found. The old blacksmith roughly measured the thickness with his own hands, then turned back and greeted an apprentice in the blacksmith shop. The apprentice immediately nodded and went. The blower box was on fire.
After the iron was heated, the old blacksmith took a small hammer and the apprentice held a sledgehammer. The master and the apprentice began to hammer.
It was impossible for Shen Yi to stay in this blacksmith shop forever. He and Zheng Hu walked around Linhai City. By the way, they went to the Di Newspaper Division branch in Linhai for a "tour" and talked with the Di Newspaper Division branch. Colleagues had a meal together.
Di Newspaper Division is now blooming all over the country, and the status of Shen Yi, the Director of Di Newspaper Division, has also risen with the tide. Especially when people in Taizhou Di Newspaper Division saw him, they all treated him with respect and shouted to each other, which made Mr. Shen feel a little comfortable.
In the afternoon, he returned to the blacksmith shop. At this time, the old blacksmith had just punched out the head of the wolf. The iron tool was like an ordinary tree branch, with many branches. The old blacksmith cut out the long The moso bamboo is installed, and the size of the wolf bamboo and the moso bamboo fit perfectly into one piece.
Shen Yi gave the old blacksmith a thumbs up.
“Good craftsmanship.”
He walked forward and reached out to pick up the wolf whisk. He estimated it weighed 14 to 15 pounds, which was still a bit heavy.
It’s not that it’s heavier to hold, but it’s a little heavier if you use it as a weapon.
Shen Yi took it in his hand and tried waving it twice, then put down the wolf fork and looked at the old blacksmith: "Old man, how long will it take you to hammer out such a thing?"
The old man lowered his head and thought for a while, and then replied: "The old man and his apprentice didn't even eat lunch. They fought for a long time before they could barely get out one. If they fight again, they will probably be at this speed."
This speed is not very fast, but it cannot be considered slow. After all, there is not only one blacksmith shop in Linhai City or even the entire Taizhou Prefecture. As long as Shen Yi is really ready for large-scale production, large-scale preparation is not too difficult.
Thinking of this, he carried the wolf sword back to the Wang family's mansion, and then took the crown prince Li Mu to the open space in the backyard of the Wang family's mansion.
Shen Yi first asked Li Mu to look at the wolf sword, then stretched out his hand to lift it up and said to Li Mu: "Your Majesty, among the guards coming from the Jin Palace, there must be a master of swordsmanship. Please give him a Japanese sword. Or go it alone, let me try it with him."
Li Mu looked at the style of this wolf sword and vaguely guessed something in his mind, but he still shook his head slightly: "Zi Heng, you are a second-ranked Jinshi, if you are a swordsman and a gun wielder and hurt you, just let two of my men try it. ."
Shen Yi shook his head: "It is precisely because I am not proficient in martial arts that I can only count by testing weapons."
In the battle with the Japanese pirates the night before yesterday, Linhaiwei still surrendered more than a dozen Japanese swords. Soon a personal guard of the Jin Palace picked up a Japanese sword and confronted Shen Yi.
As soon as he drew the knife, Shen Yi held the wolf chopper in both hands and rushed straight towards the man without any change!
To put it bluntly, the wolf sword is like an iron branch with many branches. No matter what direction or angle the sword is drawn from, it will be blocked or even stuck.
When Shen Yi rushed over, the guard had just drawn his sword. When Lang Zhen came in front of him, he had time to swing out the sword. He only heard a "ding" sound and the Japanese sword was held tightly by Lang Zhen.
Facing an iron tree branch, no matter whether the knife is chopping or pricking, it is impossible to touch Shen Yi.
Ever since, the general wanted to draw his sword and move away, but Shen Yi kept pushing forward, forcing him to retreat step by step. Later, the guard simply gritted his teeth, held the handle of the Japanese sword with both hands, and used brute force He forcefully forced Shen Yi back five or six steps.
This is purely due to the disparity in power between the two sides.
After forcing Shen Yi back, the general reacted, quickly threw the Japanese sword on the ground, half-knelt down in front of Li Mu, and said with a look of shame on his face: "Your Majesty, I have lost."
Li Mu was not angry, nor did he pay attention to him. Instead, he strode up to Shen Yi, picked up the wolf bamboo in front of Shen Yi, and looked surprised: "What is this? It's amazing!"
Shen Yi smiled and replied: "This thing is called Langzhen."
He said: "When I was studying in Jiangdu in the early years, I once read a miscellaneous book called "Yuan Jing Shu". This book recorded the story of Mr. Yuan Jing's resistance to bandits, and it mentioned this name. A weapon called the wolf's sword."
Shen Yi said softly: "This thing is very effective against short-handled weapons. I spent all night drawing a picture of it."
Mr. Shen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of the effect?"
Li Mu did not speak, but picked up the wolf bamboo on the ground, and then waved to the general: "Here, do it again."
This general could only pick up the Japanese sword on the ground, but the result was self-explanatory, and he was easily held up by Lang Zhen.
After repeating the experiment several times, the prince threw the wolf aside, clapped his hands and exclaimed: "It's perfect!"
Shen Yi smiled from the side.
"The most powerful thing about this thing is not that it is infinitely powerful, but that it is long enough to isolate the enemy several steps away and cannot be hurt by swords."
"This way, you will be much more courageous."
Li Mu looked at the wolf trap on the ground for a long time, then looked back at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "It just so happened that I checked the Wang family's property in the past two days, and they are extremely rich. I will give orders now to make more according to this style. The wolf comes out."
After saying this, he glanced at Shen Yi again and sighed slightly: "It's just that the Japanese pirates probably won't appear again, let alone attack the city again."
Shen Sizheng had already thought of a countermeasure. He smiled slightly at Li Mu and said, "What if we take the initiative to leave the city? For example...send the Wang family to Jiankang?"
