China, with its magnificent mountains and rivers and abundant resources, has become a coveted target for other countries. Historically, Japan has tried to encroach on Chinese territory.
Qi Jiguang, a famous military strategist during the Ming Dynasty of China, was a famous anti-Japanese general in history and a national hero in people's hearts. During that period, Japanese swords in Japan became murder weapons for the mutilation of Chinese compatriots, and how many Chinese blood stained those Japanese swords red.
The history of the invasion of China by the Japanese can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty, when the soldiers sent by the imperial court to kill the Japanese would always mention the sharpness of the Japanese sword. In the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese sword left a deep shadow in the hearts of the Chinese, and people always had lingering palpitations in the face of this sharp **.
Qi Jiguang, a national hero who has resisted the invasion of the Japanese invaders many times, also has a deep impression of this. He recorded that the Japanese long sword had existed since the invasion of China by the Japanese invaders, and the sights of our soldiers falling in pools of blood and being cut in half abounded when the sword flashed.
This speaks volumes about the sharpness of Japanese swords.
Ancient China's level of technology was unique in the world, but during the Ming Dynasty, it was not possible to create a sharp blade that could be split in two, while Japan, a small island nation, had such a sharp knife, which made people question how Japan could make such a sharp knife.
In a modern society where technology is changing rapidly, it is not difficult to understand the principles of Japanese sword manufacturing. Knives need hardness to stay sharp, but too much, knives that are too hard to be sharp, but also easy to break, is a problem that people in ancient times have not been able to solve.
Many people who make a living by forging swords want to be able to create knives that are both sharp and not easy to break, but due to technical limitations and the constraints of traditional craftsmanship, many people cannot achieve this goal after a lifetime of research.
So, how did Japan find answers to the problems that many people have been unable to solve in their lifetimes? It turns out that in the casting process of Japanese knives, the technology of repeated smelting of low-temperature and high-carbon steel is adopted, and this series of cumbersome process procedures can naturally not be explained in one or two sentences.
Therefore, the knife manufactured has a great guarantee of strength and toughness, which is both sharp and not easy to break. However, beautiful things need to be cared for, and good knives are no exception.
When a Japanese sword is used, it is not just about polishing the knife like a piece of jade, but also needs to go through a series of processes to make it more perfect, and even have characteristics that other jade does not have, in order to become a truly perfect piece of jade.
Although Japanese swords already have extremely high strength and hardness after forging, it is still only one of many knives. To become a knife that can directly cut people in half, it takes more effort and polishing.
For those who have never experienced war, the image of a Japanese sword is often only shown in film and television productions. If you are careful enough, you will notice that the shape of the Japanese sword is not a random curve, but a scientifically backed arc.
This arc is not only suitable for specific angles, but also maximizes cutting force at different angles, even in the process of indiscriminate slashing. Of course, the design of the blade is also one of the keys to Japanese knives, and its beveled design makes the already sharp blade even sharper.
From any point of view, the Japanese sword is very sharp, for the ancients, it was a terrifying battlefield everywhere it went, no one knows why the Japanese sword is so sharp, only that it can cut people with a single sword, which makes people feel frightened.
Those who can escape the Japanese sword will undoubtedly feel that they are the aftermath of the disaster.
* The power does not lie in whether it is sharp or not, nor in the size of the power, but in the determination of the user. For the people of the Ming Dynasty, what frightened them the most was not the sharpness of the Japanese sword, but the ferocity of the Japanese sword.
Japan is an aggressive people, the people of the Ming Dynasty have long understood their warlike nature, they have been practicing martial arts since childhood, while China is more ceremonial, so there is"The State of Etiquette"This makes most Chinese not good at martial arts, nor good at killing enemies, and naturally unable to compete with their ferocity when facing the Wukou.
In the forty-first year of Jiajing, the invasion of the Japanese invaders again hit a small county town. In the face of such a formidable enemy, the people in the county felt powerless to resist, but they did not give up hope.
They decided to show their determination to the Wakos, and for the sake of freedom, they chose to resist. Although the walls were strong, the people did not compromise and succeeded in keeping the Japanese from the walls.
However, the Wako were not reconciled to defeat and attacked again, but this time, they were well prepared and used ladders to try to climb the city walls. This caught the people on the city walls off guard, but they still held their posts and resisted the invasion of the pirates.
The power of panic is endless, and a strong man wielding an axe cleanly decapitates the head of the Japanese leader, which immediately boosts morale, and the soldiers overcome their fears and bravely enter the battle, successfully repelling the enemy.
This battle made the Chinese nation realize that the axe could also defeat the Japanese sword, thus alleviating the fear of the Japanese sword. In fact, it was not the axe that really overcame the Japanese sword, but the bravery shown in a desperate situation.
