Chapter 167 Meticulously Forging a Modao
Barrier knives are mainly used in martial arts and battlefields due to their different shapes.

It can be roughly divided into two types: short and brisk and wide and domineering.

In the arsenal of the camp, Ni Tu once observed that the barrier swords used by the soldiers were similar to daggers, and even the Wakisashi among Japanese swords in later generations has its shadow.

The barrier knife is only about [-] to [-] centimeters long, and its main feature is that it is short and flexible, which is beneficial for close combat.It is usually used when the two sides fight in close quarters and long weapons are inconvenient to use.

As for the non-commissioned officer's mention of "using more barriers to defend against the enemy", it means that because the barrier blade is too short, the whole body and the blade must face the enemy when using it.

And another kind of wide barrier sword, after being spread to the Japanese country, gradually evolved into a wild sword with a height of more than three feet.

Also known as She Dao, broad-edged sword.

At this time, the phrase "use more barriers to defend against the enemy" has another interpretation. It refers to holding a barrier knife to meet a strong enemy, so as to clear the obstacle. Therefore, it is believed that the barrier knife should be a more domineering wide blade. Tang knife is somewhat similar to the later machete.

As for the horizontal knife, it was inherited from the previous dynasty. It was a common saber used by soldiers in the army, and even servants of wealthy families.

The horizontal knife is characterized by simplicity and practicality. The length of the knife is mostly [-] to [-] centimeters. It is improved from the ring head knife of the Han Dynasty. The long handle makes it a straight knife with a narrow blade and thick ridge that can be used with both hands.

Because of the strong lethality of this sword, it was learned by the Japanese and made into their Japanese sword. However, the blade and blade of the Tang sword are straighter, not as curved as the Japanese sword.

"What is Modao?" Cheng Yaojin asked strangely.

Ni Tu was a little confused for a moment.

"The little one once read a book, and it was written: There are four kinds of swords, one is called Yi Dao, the other is called Barrier Dao, the third is called Heng Dao, and the fourth is called Mo Dao."

"The instrument knife, the barrier knife, the horizontal knife, and even the big knife held immediately, the old man knows, but this Mo knife has never been heard of."

"Big knife? Dare I ask Aunt what he looks like?"

"Speaking of this big sword, the shape is different. There is an upgraded version of the Zhanmajian with a very long blade, a long-handled sword with a detachable handle, and a three-pointed double-edged sword with an extremely long handle and an extremely short blade. Their unified characteristics are domineering and great lethality. However, talking about this big knife is the pain in my heart." Cheng Yaojin said and punched the back of the chair.

"Aon, why is this?"

"Why?" Cheng Zheng continued, "Isn't it because most of these swords are self-made by the governors, so their shapes are not uniform."

"Jiedu envoys are self-made? Isn't it only the imperial court that can supervise the manufacture of Tang military equipment?" Ni Tu asked puzzledly.

"It's true!" Cheng Yaojin frowned and said, "I think all the military supervision of my whole Tang Dynasty is under the responsibility of the Military Department of Shangshu Province. Now, this right is concentrated in the hands of the old man and Mao Gong. Changsun Wuji The old man has long coveted this power. Helpless, no one can shake his teeth. So he came up with the bad idea of ​​Jiedushi. First, he abolished all the Jiedushi in various places, and then made his cronies and relatives send Fill it all over the country as festival envoys."

"The post of Jiedushi came along with the expansion of the territory. Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, every time a new territory was obtained, a part of the military force was drawn from the border guards to station there. The old system of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty was adopted, and the general manager was appointed. The military chief of temperance and dispatch is responsible for the management of military supplies. At the same time, he also manages the field envoys who are in charge of military affairs and defense against foreign enemies. In the past, almost every inch of the vast territory was from the army and had strict discipline. Follow the orders of the Ministry of War."

"However, after Changsun Wuji changed these veterans a lot, he also gave Jiedu envoys and interview envoys to supervise the prefectures and counties where he was located. He integrated the military, civilians, and finances into one body, surpassing the festival-holding governors in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The locals couldn't stand the heavy taxes, so they nicknamed them "Jiezhen". Nowadays, soldiers and horses come to report. These Jiedu envoys, relying on the prestige of their eldest grandson Wuji, have reached the point of monopolizing power. The number of soldiers is increasing, and the exploitation is more than that of corrupt officials in Guanzhong. I am worried that the foundation of the Tang Dynasty will not be defeated by foreign enemies, and I am afraid that it will be eaten by these moths."

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Ni Tu's eyes widened in shock.

We must know that the demise of the Tang Dynasty was to a certain extent proud of the expansion of Jiedushi's power.By the time of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, there were 49 soldiers in the border town at the tenth quarter, while the Imperial Imperial Army only had 120,000 troops.When the Jiedu envoys were in chaos, the imperial court was vulnerable and had no choice but to run for their lives.

Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji would take such a path.

Although Changsun Wuji's good times didn't last long, he left this cancer in Datang, which would slowly corrode the roots of Datang from the inside.

"Jiedushi must be eradicated, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

"Yes, but if you want to attack Jiedushi's cancer, you must first attack Changsun Wuji, what should we do?" Cheng Yaojin frowned.

Ni Tu knew that the demise of Changsun Wuji had to be accompanied by the rise of Wu Meier, and Li Zhi moved to abolish Wang Liwu in order to suppress the power of Changsun Wuji.

"Ah Weng, there is an idiom called mantis catching cicadas, the oriole is behind, it's not that they don't report, the time has not come. Don't get angry, let alone worry about the eldest grandson Wuji. When the time comes, Ah Weng will I regret today's slight anger."

"Oh? You mean?" Cheng Yaojin's eyes were blurred, and he looked at Ni Tu with special meaning.

Ni Tu smiled and nodded: "The heavenly secret must not be revealed!"

Cheng Yaojin nodded for a long time, and Xuan'er laughed out loud.

"By the way, Tu'er, what does the Mo Dao you're talking about look like?"

Speaking of Mo Dao, Ni Tu's heart was filled with awe of Datang.

As the pinnacle of China's cold weapons, it was once famous in the Western Regions.

Spreading out a huge piece of paper, Cheng Zheng drew on it according to Ni Tu's instructions.

"The handle is four feet long, the blade is three feet long, and two blades are used. It is called Pai Ren. Every move kills several people. There is no one who has done it before."

"The Mo Dao can chop off a horse's leg from the bottom, cut off a human's head from the top, and cut off a horse's leg from the bottom. It can cut off a person with one knife, and a horse with one knife. Wherever the knife passes, both people and horses will be broken, and the power is unstoppable."

Ni Tu described the style of Mo Dao, and Cheng Zheng sketched the prototype of Mo Dao according to Ni Tu's guidance.

Ni Tu wondered that the origin of the Mo Dao in the history books was that Li Jing invented the Mo Dao by lengthening the hilt and blade of the Zhanmajian in order to deal with the Turkic cavalry.

At this time, Li Jing had passed away long ago, but he did not leave Mo Dao, a heavy weapon in the army.

Could it be that his old man hid this sacred weapon of horses and horses and soldiers privately?
Not to mention him, but Li Siye, who is good at wielding the Mo Dao, should be as thunderous because of the Mo Dao. Why is he not famous in the army now?

The powerful Li Siye was good at using big sticks. He was well-known when he was chasing and suppressing Tubo Bahan.After having Mo Dao, Li Siye became the first general to lead the Mo Dao team, invincible.The Turkic who was chopped up by him is honored as the supernatural general.

Counting down the years of the Anshi Rebellion, Ni Tu secretly laughed at his ignorance.

This guy hasn't been born yet.

Unexpectedly, Mo Dao was born early because of his own reckless arrival.

Datang Foundation may make some improvements for the appearance of this artifact.
