Infinite Armory

() Heixionggou is located in a secluded forest and dense valley in the depths of Cangshan Mountain behind Niujia Village. There are lush trees, flowers and yams everywhere, and various large beasts often come and go. According to the old hunter in the village, there are not only roe deer in it Wild deer and wild goats appeared, and wolves often appeared. What was even more shocking was that in the black bear ditch, it was said that there was a huge black bear entrenched. The black bear had rough skin and thick flesh, and was extremely ferocious. , Even spears and sharp arrows can hardly hurt it. Generally, hunters will take a detour when they see Heixionggou. Therefore, the old hunters in the village often remind those young hunters not to go to Heixionggou. That place is too dangerous. .

Under the leadership of Duhu, the three of them walked across the mountains and ridges for a long time, and finally arrived at the entrance of Heixionggou at noon. After the three of them sat down and ate some dry food, they were ready to shoot with bows and arrows , carefully touched into the dense ravine.

Ye Zheng also took out his pistol at this time, loaded it, and quietly followed behind the big tiger and the little tiger, but looked around to see if he could find anything, so that he could take out the pistol on the spot to scare the two brothers together. Fan.

To say that this Heixiong Valley is really different from other mountains and forests. The giant trees in the valley here are towering, and the flowers and plants are thick. From a distance, you can hear various birds and beasts roaring in the valley. It gave them a feeling of anticipation and apprehension.

After groping in the woods for a long time, suddenly, a grass bush more than ten meters away in front shook for a while. It seemed obvious that there was a prey hidden in it, and from the movement, it seemed that the prey was quite large. Hu Xiaohu was so excited, they set up their bows and arrows one after another, aimed at the grass, and pressed forward step by step.

The prey in the grass seemed to have sensed the arrival of Ye Zheng and the others, only to hear a "whoosh", and a yellow shadow rushed out from inside. When they took a closer look, it turned out to be a roe deer as fat as a dog Suddenly, Xiaohu whispered excitedly: "Do it!"

As soon as the voice fell, the little tiger and the big tiger opened their bows together. After two "咻咻", two feathered arrows shot towards the sprinting roe deer like lightning. Unfortunately, the roe deer was running too fast, and the arrows shot one after another. In the air, they landed in the grass behind the roe deer.The big tiger and the little tiger shot a few more arrows unwillingly, but without exception, they all missed by a little bit. The little tiger who missed consecutively couldn't help cursing through the air, and then shot another arrow with his bow full. This arrow finally hit the roe deer's head. But I don't know if it's because of the distance and lack of strength. The roe deer just swayed, then ran faster, and disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.

All this just now, because it came too fast, the fast Ye Zheng couldn't react. Originally, he wanted to shoot, but because the big tiger and the little tiger were blocking the front, he didn't even have a chance to shoot. Depressed Ye Zheng wanted to scold people, what kind of rubbish archery, you two brothers ran out to hunt at the level of you two brothers, and you shot the prey, and the prey ran away as if nothing happened, it is so rubbish , Ye Zheng cursed secretly in his heart.

Looking at the depressed faces of the two brothers, Ye Zheng suddenly felt that the image of the two of them as hunters had plummeted in his heart. "What are you guys doing? Didn't you just get shot just now? Why did the prey run away like nothing happened?"

After finishing speaking, Ye Zheng came to Xiaohu's side, pulled out an arrow from his body, and was stunned for a moment. "Hey, what kind of arrow is this? Why doesn't it seem like an iron arrow? How can this kind of arrow cause lethality to the prey?"

It turned out that the arrows of Dahu and Xiaohu's arrows were all black and hard wooden arrows. No wonder the roe deer could run so fast after being hit by an arrow.

Big tiger and little tiger saw Ye Zheng holding the arrow with a puzzled expression on his face, and sighed immediately: "Brother Ye, do you really not know or pretend you don't know? Today's imperial court is extremely strict on steel and metal. , Ordinary civilians are not allowed to wear weapons and hide armor. Like the steel arrows you mentioned, except for the imperial officers and soldiers, where can we have them? Even if we really have steel arrows, once someone reports them, That is the death penalty of treason."

Hearing their explanation, Ye Zheng was taken aback. He didn't expect that the metal control of civilians in this world would reach such an outrageous level.

In fact, this can’t be blamed on Ye Zheng’s ignorance. In the era of cold weapons, the rulers strictly controlled the steel armor. At that time, in order to prevent the Han slaves from rebelling, the Da Lie Dynasty took back all the iron weapons in the homes of the slaves in the world. .During the farming period of the slaves in the spring season, the local government will send envoys to distribute them in the morning, and after the farming is completed in the evening, they will be registered and recycled.If there is any omission and loss, the whole family will be copied and chopped.What's even more outrageous is that a kitchen knife must be used by ten families in turn. On the day of the autumn harvest, the imperial court will send various officials to collect food taxes. After the slaves pay the food taxes, the rest is enough for the whole family. Food and clothing, there is no food at all.All that the imperial court did was to prevent the slaves from rioting and rebelling.

After knowing all this, Ye Zheng sighed helplessly, secretly lamenting the darkness and unreasonableness of the feudal dynasty.Originally, he had always wondered why Brothers Big Tiger and Little Tiger said that it was a great thing for the sharpshooter in their village to be able to kill prey at a distance of thirty steps, but now it seems that under the conditions of lack of iron tools at that time, , is indeed a very remarkable thing.

Touching the wooden arrowhead in his hand, Ye Zheng asked them why they didn't choose other materials to make the arrowhead, and they insisted on choosing this black wood to make it.Dahu said that other materials such as stone are too hard, and they are not easy to polish, and they are very easy to break. Therefore, after many methods were found, people chose to use black iron pear wood to make arrows.The reason for choosing it is that the black iron pear wood is hard and dense, and it will not swell when touched with tung oil, and it is much easier to polish, so everyone likes to use it to make arrows and pistols .

After hearing this, Ye Zheng has a deeper understanding of this world, and at the same time, he has gained a lot of confidence in his idea of ​​fighting for hegemony in other worlds in the future.Damn, what kind of bullshit is this Dalie Dynasty’s rule over the common people? It can be described as brutal and cruel, but the more it is like this, the more beneficial it is to itself. Didn’t the history books in the previous life say that the more the court’s tyranny oppressed the common people? If it is powerful, then the people's rebellious heart will be greater, and if the oppression reaches a certain level, sooner or later there will be an outbreak.

Because where there is oppression, there will be resistance. This is an eternal law.
