Chapter 549 Three Kingdoms, Three Kingdoms
Later generations like to praise the Han and Tang dynasties as a strong Han Dynasty and a 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 large-scale 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 weapon of the country, and it was not allowed to be kept privately or buried with it.
Hence, 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 behead a horse. If you add a long handle and use your waist strength to drive the arm to swing the sword, plus the lever principle of the long sword, it is not difficult to "break the enemy into pieces".
The key lies in the quality of the knife.
The longer the knife, the higher the elasticity requirements.
Otherwise it will break easily.
While having 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.
Just the upper half of the blade has much higher requirements than the Zhanma Sword.
It requires skilled craftsmen to continuously fold and hammer the fine iron to remove as many impurities as possible. Moreover, the blade and the back of the blade must not be hammered the same number of times. The blade must be hard and the back must be elastic, so this process is very complicated.
The reason why Feng Yong is so eager to restore the water drainage and want to combine it with the bellows is also for this reason.
Because only by further increasing the temperature and obtaining a large amount of liquid iron can the workload of forging be reduced.
It is 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... I don't know how long...
So Feng Yong's statement that he wanted to seduce Zhuge Zhan was not entirely a joke.
Just when Feng Yong turned around and was about to leave the general station, he only heard a slight commotion below.
“Huh? What’s going on?”
Feng Yong frowned a little.
Without orders in the battle formation, if you act randomly, you will be harming others and yourself when it comes to the battlefield. This is what Feng Yong is most taboo about.
Zhang Yi's face was a little 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 lack 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 up to him and said, "Captain, a sword is broken!"
“Take it over and have a look.”
Zhang Yi was taken aback and said quickly.
The broken sword was quickly brought to the two of them.
Feng Yong looked at the broken point carefully and found that it was broken from the joint between the blade and the handle.
Turning it over again, I saw a line of small characters engraved on the handle: Zidian 62, supervised by Jiang Bin of Hanzhong Metallurgy, made on Tuesday.
This is the 62nd purple electric sword made by Hanzhongye. Jiang Bin is responsible for supervising the production and the craftsman is responsible for building it on Tuesday. It is also the first broken sword.
Feng Yong's face instantly darkened.
Hanzhongye was originally established to manage the 100,000-acre imperial estate in Hanzhong for the royal family. It was also responsible for building eight-ox plows and curved shaft plows for each farm in Hanzhong.
Later, because Feng Yong did not have enough manpower, and he was the supervisor of Hanzhong Ye, Huangzhuang was the main supplier of pasture, and the queen had a share of the pasture, so it was no good for the supervisor of Hanzhong Ye to also be in charge of Hanzhong Ranch. 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.
As the frontier of the Northern Expedition, Hanzhong must have an arsenal. Hanzhong Metallurgical Co., Ltd. built weapons, which can be regarded as preparations for the Northern Expedition, so the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty 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.
Hanzhong Metallurgical Co., Ltd. subsequently achieved initial production of refined iron, which can be considered as living up to his expectations.
These days, it is impossible to streamline production, because to make a good sword, it must be crafted piece by piece by the hands of craftsmen.
However, 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, someone must personally inspect each knife after it is completed. Only after it is deemed to be qualified can it be sent over. At the same time, the names of the production department, supervisor, and creator must be engraved on it.
Such a strict process and requirements, and he only got 70 of them, and one of them was of substandard quality. Why didn't Feng Yong look gloomy?
“A precious sword can be worth three years of food for a Dingkou,” 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 Hanzhongye, and Hanzhongye has become like this? How does Huo Yi manage Hanzhongye?"
“Captain Zhang, today you will write an official document and submit it to the governor’s office. Then I will personally ask the governor about Han Zhongye’s dereliction of duty.”
Feng Yong gritted his teeth and said.
Time is getting increasingly urgent. You are trying to get me to do something wrong at this time. If I can’t deal with you, I will not give you the surname Feng!
Zhang Yi's body suddenly shook, 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 has quickly entered January of the fifth year of Jianxing.
Cao Wei in the north officially changed the Yuan Dynasty this year, which was the first year of Taihe. At the same time, he 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 ordered to station in Jingzhou and guard against Soochow together with Cao Xiu.
Cao Zhen, the general of the Chinese army, was appointed as the general and commanded all the troops and horses 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. At the same time, he proposed to Emperor Wei that Shu could not invade and only had to guard against Wu. 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 anticipated that Soochow would invade Xiangyang and rushed to Jingzhou secretly. Later, he defeated Zhuge Jin and 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 of 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 strength.
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, Wancheng was ordered to build the Hussar General's Mansion. Once the construction was completed, Sima Yi could officially garrison Wancheng.
Sima Yi's promotion marked the further consolidation of the political power of the aristocratic family in Cao Wei.
The news soon spread to Soochow, and when he learned that the coach of Jingzhou had become 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, is very careful about the terrain, and is known for his 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? In the battle between Liu Cao and Hanzhong, Zhang He was first defeated by Zhang Fei and had to abandon his horse and climb the mountain to escape. Then he was defeated by Liu Bei and finally had to withdraw from Hanzhong. "
"In the battle of Yiling, Liu Bei used all the strength of the 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."
"I just said I wanted to kill Zhang He. What's the use of killing Xia Houyuan? It shows that he is afraid of Zhang He. Now Zhang He is guarding Jingzhou and is a big enemy to me in Jiangdong. We have to be careful about his talents in the future."
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 in the direction of the new city, and then in the west toward the Kingdom of Shu, looking thoughtful.
“General Zhuge, Meng Da from Xincheng, is there any news?”
