According to historical records, the first famous chess player who used and popularized ink knives in the Tang Dynasty was not Li.
Strange Dao, Tang Jun's pride, the enemy's nightmare. When it comes to strange knives, people will think of Li, a famous Tang Dynasty soldier: "Strange knives are like a wall, and those who bear them are all broken." A knife breaks a man, a knife breaks a horse, and a strange knife is a big killer at that time. Li became the first master in the Tang Dynasty by virtue of his brilliant exploits in quelling the Anshi Rebellion. At the same time, he was appointed as the third division of Kaifu to unify Wei and was named Duke Guo. Finally, posthumous title became the King of the Tang Dynasty and changed his surname. Tang Suzong personally wrote a letter: "Therefore, Wei Weiqing, who is also the secretary of Huaizhou, accused the North Court of our time, and ..............., the duke of Li, was the king of Wuwei County." ? Few people doubt that Li was the first master in the Tang Dynasty, but how long was this master, how strong was his strength, and who was the first master in historical materials? These are two questions, and we are going to find the answers to these two questions today. In order to find these answers, we have to ask Li Jing, the god of war in the Tang Dynasty, Li, an expert on ink knives, and of course, another person, because he may be the first star to use ink knives. After reading the old and new books in the Tang Dynasty, we will know that Li prefers to use sticks before using strange knives. This Li, who once served as the viceroy of Tian Zhen under Gao Xianzhi, is mainly found in New Tang Book, Old Tang Book and Zi Zhi Tong Jian (2 15-22 1). According to these three historical materials, we know that Li first used a big stick. After chasing Tubo, Khan wrote, "I should strike it with a big stick and kill the whole army." We can give Li a nickname, called "Aunt Li", as a kind joke. However, the Turks who were cut out of the psychological shadow with a big stick were not in the mood to ridicule. They gave Li the title of "Turk" (calling him "magic general"). Li, who takes the big stick as the "god general", seems to be really the first general to lead the strange knife team: "It is the first time that the strange knife is used in the army, but his inheritance is particularly good, so every battle must be a pioneer and destroy the North." ? However, there are also historical records. Before Li, it was Li Jing, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who first turned the ink knife into a tissue instrument in Tang Jun. It was he who lengthened the handle of the ancient broken horse sword (also known as the horse sword) and invented a strange knife with a length of three feet and a handle of four feet. It can be seen that the infantry is not helpless against the cavalry. The Song Dynasty said that Liao, Jin and Xixia could not be defeated without horses, which was purely an excuse-there was no invincible army in the world and no cavalry that could not be controlled. Li's strange knife team is like a real infantry: in the face of 100 thousand Turkish cavalry, Li "leads troops with long knives." As a result, Lu (Turkic) didn't expect the troops to arrive. Eighteen people (eight out of ten) died in the cliff valley because of the collapse. "To quell the Anshi Rebellion, Li" "is a stripper (similar to the War Horse Super), standing in front of the battle with a long knife, shouting, when inheriting the knife, all the troops were broken, killing more than a dozen people, and the lineup was stationed. Former soldiers came out with long knives and went in like a wall. The heir was the first to fight for his life and was invincible. " In this way, in front of Han Yong and Tang sharp stranger knife, everything is a cloud. The invention and popularization of strange Dao seems to be attributed to Li Jing, the god of war in the Tang Dynasty. ? At this time, we will go to see what a strange knife looks like, but we must make it clear what a strange knife looks like, and even quote the Six Codes of the Tang Dynasty compiled by Li, a traitor in the Tang Dynasty. The Six Classics of the Tang Dynasty clearly recorded the eight most important knives and guns in the Tang Dynasty: there are four ways to make the knife: one is an instrument knife, the other is a shovel knife, the third is a horizontal knife, and the fourth is a strange knife; There are four types of guns: one is paint gun, the other is wood gun, the third is dry gun and the fourth is plain gun. """Horizontal Dao and Sabre are also admired by soldiers, and their names also come from Sui Dynasty. Mo Dao, long Dao, held by infantry, covered with bones and broken Dao. Instrument knives, like horizontal knives, were named in the Sui Dynasty. Before the Three Kingdoms, it was called Bandao; in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was called Imperial Dao; after Wei, it was called Long Dao. In fact, it is more like the dragon and phoenix big ring knives in the novel, the nine-ear eight-ring knives and the golden silk big ring knives: ""are all dragon and phoenix rings. To the sui dynasty, it was called the instrument knife, which was held by gold, silver and feather. It is a fact that strange knives reached their peak in the Tang Dynasty. We even have reason to suspect that the giant played in the TV series would be almost a strange knife if it were replaced by two blades. ? If we look at the records in the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty, Volume 56, Biography Six, we will also find that there was a strange knife before the Tang Dynasty. The length of the strange knife was not seven feet, but ten feet: "Jizhou people were cold and benefited from the economy. "Make good use of broadsword, ten feet long and two edges. It's called a strange blade. Every move, a few people died, no one can do it before. " In view of the mixing of knife and blade in ancient books, for the sake of simplicity, let's call it a strange knife. At the end of Sui Dynasty, Kan Leng, a hero, was born in Cheng (Jizhou) and studied under Du. Kan Leng's position in Du Jun is left general. After Du entered the Tang Dynasty, the treatment was better than that: "Gaozu sent an envoy, worshipped the secretary of the Southeast Road, appeased the ambassador south of Jianghuai, ascended the column country, established the king of Wu, and gave him the surname Li." "Lord, public king, a rising tide lifts all boats": "Worship General Zuo and move to the state governor". Unfortunately, this famous man recorded in historical materials was framed and killed by Li, the king of Hejian County, because of his family wealth (the first year of Zhenguan). The death of Kan Leng is beyond the scope of this article, so I won't go into details here. ? According to the historical data consulted by the author, the stranger's sword should be a super long-handled sword with a single tip and two blades, with a blade length of three feet and a handle length of four feet. It is a magic weapon to restrain cavalry. A few famous soldiers are extremely muscular and can reach ten feet in length. This Dao appeared at the end of Sui Dynasty and was an equipment unit established by Li Jingcheng, the God of War in Tang Dynasty. Li played to the peak. At this time, we will find a problem: there was a Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms between the Tang and Song Dynasties. The military science and technology of the Song Dynasty was far more developed than that of the Tang Dynasty, and the economy seemed to be more prosperous than that of the Tang Dynasty. Why did the strangeness of cavalry disappear instead? The author's personal view is this: using strange knives requires not only strong arm strength, but also strong nerves. I don't have enough courage and courage to die. In the face of foreign cavalry, I am too scared to be soft. Even if I take the AK47, it's useless. Song Jun, or the king of the Song Dynasty, just lacked strong nerves. ...
