History live broadcast: My audience is the ancestors

Chapter 259 Archery
My charming and short-lived ancestor: I remember that Dongfang Shuo seemed to be the originator of cross talk.
Yu Yusning: That’s right! it's him!
My charming but short-lived ancestor: So who is spreading the rumor that Dongfang Shuo is an incompetent warlock?
Who in the clouds sent me a brocade book: Ah? That is to say, he was an active figure in the early and middle periods of Emperor Wu. How could he be a mediocre person?

I didn’t think about using this online name first: Yes, even Luan Dana who asked the princess to marry was really good at deceiving people, and she had some of her own
Yu Yusning: That’s true, but Princess Dangli is really miserable. She has been married several times and she has always been treated like a bad person.

Wan Ning can't sleep. (Guan): It means that as a princess of Emperor Wu, few end well, right? Especially those born by Wei Zifu

Jiangnan has been in mist: I totally agree!

Who in the clouds sent brocade books: For example, Princess Zhuyi and Princess Yangshi, these two are purely unlucky. Like Zhou Wang Zhu Ru, they are an unlucky ghost who was implicated by their brother!
Note that this woman's name is Xiaomei: This is still different. It is only a matter of time before Zhu Yunwen cuts off the vassal vassal. It can only be said that King Zhou is unlucky, and these two are purely implicated.

Liu Che looked at the sky and sighed, which means that he has obviously not done these things yet, and even now he is only a princess.

But once this witchcraft disaster broke out, he had to worry every day, afraid of mentioning it again.

Although Wei Qing and Wei Zifu are willing to believe him now, what if he mentions it too many times and disturbs their relationship?
Wei Qing was also feeling bitter. In other words, why did he die so early in that world?
If he had died later, he might have been able to protect his sister and Ju'er.

There is also cure
Alas, talking too much brings tears to my eyes!
Dongfang Shuo: Is there no one who can speak up for me?
But Dongfang Shuo also knew that compared to the empress and the future Great Sima General, he was indeed insignificant.

But has he actually become the originator?

This is really incredible!
Ming Dynasty
"Ouch, oh, fourth brother, I'm really miserable!"

Lao Zhu was originally chatting with his sons, but when the sky came up, Zhu Di was sad, and he couldn't help holding Zhu Di and crying.

Zhu Di asked his eldest brother and father for help while pulling Zhu Zhu.

Zhu Biao wanted to come over and help, but Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him and said, "Fourth brother, you should coax the fifth brother first. After all, this matter still has something to do with you."

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang also saw the blush on Zhu Di's usually calm face. It was really fun and he couldn't help teasing him.

To be honest, ever since this little bastard knew how to save face, especially after Tian Mu blew up Emperor Yongle, he has paid special attention to his own image.

Before the marquee appeared, he might have made a mistake and teased him, but now he has really never seen it.

And now Lao Wu is holding him and crying in front of everyone. Even though he is now King Yan, he is a little embarrassed!

Zhu Rui didn't know that he had added a touch of laughter to his father. He was still holding his brother's aggrievedness.

Wuwuwuwuwu, fourth brother, I died so miserably!

Fifth brother, I know, but you let go first!

Wuwuwu, fourth brother, I don’t, I’m so sad!

Zhu Baba: Yes, the two little bastards are quite fun!
Zhu Biao: It’s so difficult for me!
Su Yue looked at the comment area and said: "Okay, that means that for us, archery is similar to roping, and it is something we often play. Let's take a look at archery!"

In the cold weapon age, bows and arrows were the most terrifying and deadly weapons.

The emergence of bows and arrows may be traced back to the distant mythological era. The legend of Hou Yi shooting Jiu Yao has always been popular. It is also the most effective advertisement for the power of bows and arrows.

Another example comes from the "horned bow" in the Book of Songs.

After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the Turkic bows used in the Ming Dynasty were abandoned and replaced by heavy bows and long arrows with armor-piercing capabilities.

The bows used in the Qing Dynasty were developed on the basis of the bows of previous generations and have a history of thousands of years.

The drawing force of this kind of bow is very large, reaching more than 70 kilograms, and the bow body is also long, reaching 1.8 meters.

Bow and arrow
About 3 years ago, humans in China began to use bows and arrows. The earliest arrows were very simple. They used a tree stick or bamboo pole, cut it into an arrow shaft of a certain length, and sharpened it at one end to make an arrow.

The true origin of the arrow should be in the Stone Age of primitive society. People ground stone flakes, bones or shells into sharp shapes and installed them on one end of the arrow shaft. This made arrows with stone, bone or shell arrowheads. , which is a big step forward compared to arrows whittled with wooden sticks and bamboo poles alone.

Since ancient arrow shafts are difficult to preserve, only arrowheads are often left among the unearthed objects.

Stone, bone, and clam arrowheads from the Neolithic Age come in various shapes such as rods, leaves, and triangles, and some have stems and back thorns.

Bronze arrowheads from the early Shang Dynasty were first unearthed from the Erlitou site in Yanshi County, HEN Province.

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the main style of bronze arrowheads was the ridged and double-winged style.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, triangular arrowheads were popular. During the Warring States Period, such arrowheads were often equipped with iron collars to save copper.

After the Han Dynasty, copper arrowheads began to transition to iron arrowheads. This process took about 200 years.

The three-winged or four-sided iron arrowheads unearthed in HEB Province from the early Western Han Dynasty are still molded and are not as sharp as copper arrowheads; while the Eastern Han Dynasty iron arrowheads unearthed from Muma Mountain, Xinfan County, SC Province are flat, acute-angled triangles. It is suitable for forging and has strong lethality. This shape was inherited by future generations, who used point steel arrowheads for a long time.

Bow and arrow
Arrow shafts are mostly made of bamboo, and some are made of wood.

In the pre-Qin period, the equal production system was used as a target.

Until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, bamboo poles were still used for arrow making in South China, willow poles were used in North China, and birch poles were mostly used in the northeast and northwest.

In order to hit the target more accurately, it is necessary to grasp the direction of the arrow in flight, so people install feathers on the tail of the arrow shaft to perfect the shape of the arrow.

The flight speed and accuracy of an arrow are closely related to the tail feathers.

If there are too many arrow feathers, the flight speed will be slow; if there are too few arrow feathers, the stability will be poor.

In order to make it have an appropriate proportion, the "Kaogong Ji" contains a method of calculating the length of the floating and sinking parts of the arrow to find the proportion of the tail feathers.

The feathers of arrows are the highest, followed by the feathers of the horned eagle, and then the feathers of the owl and owl.

Arrows with goose feathers tend to deflect when exposed to the wind, making their quality even worse.

In the Song Dynasty, when high-quality feathers were in short supply, wind-feather arrows were invented.

According to the "History of the Song Dynasty·Bingzhi", in the fourth year of Qingli (1044), the Song court "gave Feng Yuzi, the general manager of Yanyan Road, crossbow arrows." It can be seen that Feng Yu arrows are also a practical weapon.

This kind of arrow hollows out both sides of the arrow tail where the feathers are installed, and uses the inwardly concave groove to generate eddy current resistance to keep the arrow flying stably. Its design concept is quite scientific.

In order to increase the killing effect of arrows, Geng Gong invented the "poison arrow" during the Later Han Dynasty.

In the novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Luo Guanzhong, Guan Yu attacked Fancheng and was blocked by Cao Ren's 500 crossbowmen. He was hit by a crossbow arrow in his right arm. The arrow was poisonous and the poison had penetrated into his bones. His right arm was bruised and unable to move. So he asked Hua Tuo to treat him.

The miraculous doctor Hua Tuo said: "This is an injury caused by a crossbow arrow. There is aconite medicine in it, which penetrates directly into the bone. If it is not treated early, this arm will be useless."

Aconitum is a medicinal plant, the Chinese herbal medicine is called "Aconite", and its stems, leaves and roots are all poisonous.

It can be seen that the maiming and fatality rate of poisonous arrows is very high.
