Mohist Tang

Li Shimin It suddenly occurred that Modao originated in the Sui Dynasty and only existed as a special weapon at that time. Although Modao has gradually become popular in Great Tang, its users are extremely rare. Only one chance to show off was when Li Jing attacked Turkic and played a role as a surprise soldier.

Li Jing nodded and said: “The Mo sword is one foot long, the blade is narrow and long, the soldiers wear heavy armor, hold the Mo sword, and go down with one sword. The Turkic cavalry is dead. It is indeed formidable. Power is incredible.”

Everyone was suddenly nodded. In retrospect, it was discovered that the only thing that could pose such a threat to the cavalry was Mo Dao.

“Since Mo Dao is so formidable power, why not see the military play.” Li Shimin complexion sank said.

Hou Junji shook his head and said: “Your Majesty knows something. Although Modao has excellent formidable power, one Modao manufacture is extremely cumbersome and the mass production is extremely low, and the other is that Modao is too heavy and is not talented. Those who cant swing it, so there are very few equipment in the army.”

Those who use Modao must wear heavy armor. In addition, Modao is very heavy. Ordinary person can hardly carry weight, so you must choose a military figure. Unlike ordinary people, soldiers are scarce and difficult to form an army.

“Lord Marquis Mo is not in the army. I don’t know the specific situation. I only see the strengths of Mo Dao. I dont understand the disadvantages of Mo Dao. Hou Junji is extremely insidious, it is simply true. Named that Mo Dun was talking on paper.

Mo Dun immediately retorted: “The youngster is indeed not in the military, and it can even be said to be incompetent with martial arts. But he is no stranger to the Modao youngster. There is this thing in his fathers relic.”

However, Mo Dun changed his voice and said: “However, for the smelting, no one is from the Mohist Family. If Mohist uses Mohist Family steel for smelting, only modeling and casting is required, and mass production of Mohist will be possible.”

“Pour directly without forging? Lord Marquis Mo opened the eyes of the old man. How can such a bad knife enter the battlefield? Isn’t it a joke about the soldier’s life?” Hou Junji said with a Sneer, like hearing a big joke.

Even Li Jing couldnt help frowning. As generals, what they care most about is the quality of their weapons. A Hundred Refinements steel knife is the guarantee for the soldiers deep roots, and the crude weapons belong to all soldiers. Taboo.

For an instant, everyone stared at Mo Dun and wanted Mo Dun to give them a reasonable explanation.

Mo Dun felt the gaze of everyones scrutiny, and shrugged indifferently: Hundred Refinements steel knives require constant forging by craftsmen to be tempered into a steel. However, the steel of Mohist Village As soon as the Blast Furnace is refined, it has become steel and naturally does not need forging.

Mo Dun understands in his mind that among the standard weapons of later generations, the mass-produced knives are not all cast by molds. Ruggedness, practicality, and wear resistance, none of them are inferior to hand-forged knives. Perhaps some cast weapons are not as good as those forged by some famous craftsmen, but they definitely exceed the level of most ordinary craftsmen, and even some alloy weapons. Im afraid its not inferior to the so-called peerless sword.

Everyone suddenly stagnated, and they didnt think of one thing. The ultimate goal of being tempered into a steel is steel, and Mohist Family Son directly refined it. Steel naturally does not need to be forged. Everyone figured this out and suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air. If so, the output of Modao might no longer be limited.

“But the cast steel Isn’t the knife without blade? “Li Shimin frowns saying.

“Don’t worry about this Your Majesty. Mohist Village now uses mechanical polishing. Villagers make their own kitchen knives and use mechanical polishing to sharpen the blade. It can be completed in less than a moment. “Mo Dun proudly said.

Li Shimin’s heart moved, Mohist Family’s polishing technology is the best in Great Tang, even the hardest diamonds can be polished, not to mention the cutting edge of Mohist. If you follow the Mohist Family The method is more than Modao. I am afraid that other weapons can also be forged by this method. In this way, Great Tang weapons and weapon forging can certainly be advanced by leaps and bounds.

“Furthermore, if it is the armor of Modaomen If it is cast with steel, it is not only stronger, but also lighter in weight and stronger in protection. It can reduce the weight of soldiers by at least ten kilograms. In this way, the number of soldiers available for Mo Dao soldiers will naturally double. “

In this era, armor does not have weapons that many pay attention to, unless senior generals, ordinary soldiers wear iron armor. If it is replaced with steel armor, the weight will naturally be greatly reduced under the same protection. .

In this way, Hou Junji’s questioning of Mo Dun’s paper talks about war will naturally be self-defeating.

“Minister Li, if the Modao can be mass-produced, will it be able to restrain the cavalry. “Li Shimin thought a little, turned his head to Li Jing and asked, among the generals, only Li Jing had used Modao Formation in actual combat.

Hou Junji’s heart sank and he immediately understood that Li Shimin must be I’m already tempted. If it weren’t for that, I’m afraid Li Shimin would not ask at all.

Li Jing hearing this said solemnly: “Soldiers have a lighter load. Soldiers are armed with swords. There is no cavalry in the world that can compete head-on. However, whether the cast Mo knife and armor can achieve the effect Mo Dun said, it needs further verification by the Ministry of War. “

Li Jing didnt say enough, but he clearly told Li Shimin that this is possible.

Mo Dun immediately bowed and said: “Mohist Family still has ten thousand pounds of steel. Inventory, Your Majesty will know it at the first try. “

“Ten thousand catties! “Li Shimin took a deep look at Mo Dun. Great Tang was preparing to attack Tuyuhun. It was just when the steel was needed. He didn’t expect that Mohist Family still had so many stocks. He waved his hand at the moment: Immediately requisition the Mohist Village steel, use this steel, to experiment with casting Moknives and heavy armor, once successful, immediately build it with all efforts. “

“Yes! “Hou Junji led the way.

“Also, the Imperial Court purchased this batch of steel at market price. “Li Shimin finally added another sentence. Mo Dun has given him 3rd-layer surprises continuously today. If Mohist Village steel is forced to be forced, even if Li Shimin is thick and black-skinned, he will not be able to hang on.

Hou Junji Suddenly, the military inspector is under the control of the Ministry of War, and his position is extremely unique. However, it is the first time that the military inspector has bought steel from the outside world.

Li Shimin looked at the long gun forest on the Martial Practice Stage. Look again at the god-armed crossbow in your hand, and think about the phalanx of Mo Dao soldiers on the battlefield that is about to cross and hesitate. Suddenly, Great Tang has no worries, and the infantry will soon have such peerless weapons as Mo Dao soldiers, cavalry. With horseshoe protection, how can such a powerful force Tuyuhun be an opponent.

At this moment, Li Shimin is full of confidence in the upcoming battle of Tuyuhun. The blood debt that Tuyuhun committed in Great Tang should be the responsibility of Fu Yun. Father and son paid back.

At this moment, suddenly a Court Eunuch hurried over and bowed in the tunnel: “reporting to His Imperial Majesty, there is news from outside the palace that the General Army of the Right Guard has passed away. “

“The General Army of the Right Guard! “Mo Dun thought for a while, and it suddenly became clear that the right-back General Army was not the title of Illig Qaghan.

“Isn’t the emperor sent for treatment?” “Li Shimin frowns saying.

Court Eunuch lowered his head lower: “It is said that the General Army of the Right Guard refused to take the medicine, and he died suddenly. “

Mo Dun suddenly came across. He only saw Jie Li, that is, in Weiyang Palace. Illig Qaghan danced a Sogdian Whirl for Li Yuan under the design of Li Shimin. He still remembers With Illig Qaghan’s heart as gray, for an aloof and remote prairie eagle, he suddenly fell from the clouds and became a prisoner for everyone to watch. He suffered humiliation. Perhaps death is more for him. Good ending.
