Later generations like to praise the Han and Tang Dynasties as the strong Han Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
There are many reasons why the Han Dynasty defeated the nomads. In addition to national strength, weapons, organization and other reasons, the large number of horses equipped in the army is also one of the important reasons.
In the Tang Dynasty, on the basis of equipping a large number of horses, a powerful killing weapon was added, which was the Mo Dao.
There are a lot of records of Mo Dao in historical materials, but no actual objects have been unearthed in later generations.
Because the Tang Dynasty had extremely strict legal regulations on the Mo Dao, an important national weapon, it was not allowed to be kept privately or buried with it.
Therefore, later generations of scholars can only try to restore Mo Dao by combining various historical materials.
Although the details of the restored appearance may be different, the general shape is the same.
That is, the blade is an improved version of the Zhanma Sword, with a long handle underneath.
The horse-zapping sword of the Han Dynasty can chop off the head of a horse. If you add a long handle and use your waist strength to drive the arm strength to swing the sword, coupled with the lever principle of the long sword, it is not difficult to chop the enemy into pieces.
The key lies in the quality of the knife.
The longer the knife, the greater the requirement for flexibility.
Otherwise it will break easily.
While it has enough elasticity, it also needs to have enough hardness, otherwise it will be unable to cut down the enemy and fail to meet the requirements for dealing with cavalry.
This is why Hanzhongye has been producing for a year but has not produced a hundred swords.
The requirements for the upper half of the blade alone are much higher than those for a Zhanma sword.
It requires skilled craftsmen to continuously fold and temper the fine iron to remove as many impurities as possible. Moreover, the blade and the back of the knife must not be tempered the same number of times. The blade must be hard and the back must be elastic, so this process is very complicated.
This is the reason why Feng Yong is so eager to restore the water drain and want to combine it with the bellows.
Because only by further increasing the temperature and obtaining a large amount of liquid iron can the workload of forging be reduced.
It's a pity that the birth of Zhuge Zhan interrupted the research process of Huang Yueying, the country's top engineer. Not to mention the combination of water rows and bellows, even the water rows are delayed...
Therefore, Feng Yong's statement that he wanted to slap Zhuge Zhan was not entirely a joke.
Just when Feng Yong turned around and was about to leave the general station, he heard a slight commotion below.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Feng Yong frowned a little.
If there is no order in the battle formation, if you act randomly, then when you get to the battlefield, you will harm others and yourself. This is what Feng Yong is most taboo about.
Zhang Ni's face was a bit ugly. The Nanxiang soldiers were elite soldiers. When Feng Yong was handed over to him, he had to obey orders and prohibitions.
If in his hands, it turned out to be a violation of military discipline, wouldn't that prove his dereliction of duty?
"You are not allowed to make any noise in the queue without permission. What's going on?"
Zhang Yi walked to the front and cursed.
Soon someone ran forward and said, "Captain, a sword is broken!"
"Bring it here and take a look."
Zhang Yi was surprised and said quickly.
The broken sword was quickly delivered to the two of them.
Feng Yong looked at the break carefully and found that it was broken from the joint between the blade and the handle.
Turning it over again, I saw a place on the handle that said: Zidian 62, supervised by Jiang Bin of Hanzhong Metallurgy, made on Tuesday.
This is the 62nd purple electric sword made by Han Zhongye. Jiang Bin is responsible for appraising it and the craftsman is responsible for making it on Tuesday. It is also the first sword to be broken.
Feng Yong's face instantly darkened.
Hanzhong Ye was originally established to manage the 100,000-acre imperial estate in Hanzhong for the royal family. It also took on the responsibility of building eight-ox plows and curved shaft plows for various farms in Hanzhong.
Later, because Feng Yong did not have enough manpower, plus he was the supervisor of Hanzhong Ye, Huangzhuang was the main supplier of forage, and the queen had a share of the ranch, so it was nothing for Hanzhong Ye to also manage Hanzhong Ranch.
So strange.
Later, because Nanxiang became more and more important, Feng Yong established the Nanxiang Guard Team, so someone used his power for personal gain, wearing the skin of the royal family, and quietly added the function of making weapons.
Of course, it is necessary to give a lot of benefits to the Han Prime Minister.
As the frontier of the Northern Expedition, Hanzhong must have an arsenal. Hanzhong Metallurgical's production of weapons can be regarded as preparation for the Northern Expedition, so the Han Dynasty Prime Minister accepted the benefits and agreed readily.
Feng Yong also relied on the power of the royal family, so he was able to find a way to mobilize a group of craftsmen.
Later, Hanzhong Metallurgical Co., Ltd. began to mass-produce refined iron, which was considered to have lived up to his expectations.
These days, it is impossible to streamline production, because to make a good sword, it must be crafted bit by bit by the hands of craftsmen.
But Feng Yong still made certain improvements to Han MCC.
For example, the treatment of craftsmen has been improved, a responsibility system has been implemented, a reward and punishment system has been implemented, and there are also certain regulations on process procedures.
Especially for such a heavy weapon as the Zidian sword, each sword must be inspected by someone personally and must be deemed qualified before it can be sent over. At the same time, the names of the production department, supervisor, and creator must be engraved on it.
With such strict procedures and requirements, and he only got 70 of them, there was still one with substandard quality. How could this not make Feng Yong look gloomy?
"A precious sword can be worth three years of food for a young man," Feng Yong said solemnly, "Han Zhongye gave me such a thing? Good! Very good!"
When Feng Yong said this, he laughed angrily, "It's been less than a year since I stepped down as the supervisor of Han MCC, and Han MCC has become like this? How does Huo Yi manage Han MCC?"
"Captain Zhang, today you will write an official document and submit it to the governor's office. Then I will personally accuse Han Zhongye of his dereliction of duty to the governor."
Feng Yong gritted his teeth and said.
Time is getting more and more urgent. You are trying to get me out of trouble at this time. If I can’t deal with you, I will not give you the surname Feng!
Zhang Yi's body suddenly trembled, and he looked at Feng Yong with some surprise, "Nuo!"
Feng Langjun is really angry!
With the dignity of a monarch, the position of the governor of the border county, coupled with Feng Langjun's status in the Han Dynasty, and the legendary relationship between Feng Langjun and the royal family, when this official document was sent to the Shaofu, Han Zhongye was afraid that it would be turned over.
Bottom up.
Time soon entered January of the fifth year of Jianxing.
The Cao Wei Dynasty in the north officially changed the Yuan Dynasty this year, which was the first year of Taihe. At the same time, they granted amnesty to the whole country and granted rewards to all officials.
Cao Xiu, the general who conquered the east, was promoted to Grand Sima and became the supreme commander of Cao Wei's army. He supervised Yangzhou as before and governed Shouchun. At the same time, because of the death of Xia Houshang, the governor of Jingzhou, Zhang He was stationed in Jingzhou and guarded against Soochow together with Cao Xiu.
The general of the Chinese army, Cao Zhenqian, took command of all the troops in Luoyang.
Chen Qun, the general of the town army, was promoted to Sikong.
Sima Yi, the general of the Fu army, analyzed the situation in the world when Cao Rui came to the throne, and at the same time proposed to Emperor Wei that Shu could not invade and only had to guard against Wu, and the results came true.
At the same time, when Wu invaded, he analyzed the situation in Jiangxia and Xiangyang to Emperor Wei, and came to the conclusion that Jiangxia had no worries and paid attention to Xiangyang. Cao Rui's speech in the court established his prestige.
Sima Yi predicted that Soochow would invade Xiangyang and rushed to Jingzhou secretly. The result was a great defeat for Zhuge Jin and he achieved great success.
After this series of events, he showed his outstanding strategy and outstanding leadership ability, which made Cao Rui value Sima Yi highly, and promoted him to General Hussar, giving him the right to open a government and manage affairs.
In other words, Sima Yi finally had his own office and an army under his command, and could legitimately cultivate his own power.
Sima Yi once again took the initiative to propose that in order to better protect the capital of Luoyang, he requested to go out and garrison troops in Wancheng, so that he could better coordinate with Jingzhou and Guanzhong at the same time.
Because of the consolidation of the throne, Cao Rui finally agreed to Sima Yi's request this time.
At the same time, he ordered Wancheng to build the General's Palace of Hussars. Once the construction was completed, Sima Yi could officially station himself in Wancheng.
Sima Yi's promotion marked that the aristocratic family further consolidated its political power in Cao Wei.
The news soon spread to Soochow, and when they learned that the coach of Jingzhou was Zhang He, the governor of Jingzhou, Lu Xun, looked solemn.
He said to Zhuge Jin, the general of the cavalry, "Zhang He is one of the five good generals of Cao Cao. He has many opportunities for change, is very careful about the terrain, and has good courage. He is a man of both wisdom and courage. Now he is guarding Jingzhou to take advantage of the dangers of Xiangyang."
, I am afraid that if we attack Wei in the future, it will only cause a lot of difficulties."
Zhuge Jin was a little puzzled, "Did the Governor praise him too much? When Liu Cao fought in Hanzhong, Zhang He was first defeated by Zhang Fei, and then had to abandon his horse and climb the mountain to escape. Later, he was defeated by Liu Bei and had to withdraw from Hanzhong.
.”
"In the battle of Yiling, Liu Bei mobilized the whole country, but he was almost captured by the governor. The governor was not even afraid of Liu Bei, so why should he be afraid of Zhang He?"
Lu Xun shook his head, "No. We were able to win a big victory in the battle at Yiling because Liu Bei was angry and raised an army. I also had some luck. Liu Bei has a good sense of people. When Xia Houyuan was killed by Huang Zhong, Liu Bei still didn't
satisfy."
"If you want to kill, just kill Zhang He. What's the use of killing Xia Houyuan? This shows his fear of Zhang He. Now Zhang He is guarding Jingzhou and is a formidable enemy to me in Jiangdong. We must be careful about his talents in the future."
After hearing this, Zhuge Jin also frowned a little, "There is Cao Xiu in Yangzhou and Zhang He in Jingzhou. This Cao thief is very guarded against Jiangdong."
Lu Xun nodded, looked to the northwest and then to the west, looking thoughtful.
"General Zhuge, is there any news from Meng Da in Xincheng?"
