I Can Extract Abilities From Antiques

104. Thousands of years passed by, Li Gang returned to the world (4/5)

When Hu Muzhi came to Guxuan Pavilion, he found out that Guxuan Pavilion is not open for business today.

But there was a piece of paper on the door.

Hu Muzhi took a closer look and found that it was a closure announcement.

'There is a happy event in the family, so I will be closed for one day.

Seeing this announcement, Hu Muzhi drove back to the courtyard.

Night, Panjiayao.

Hu Muzhi had just parked his car on a dirt slope and was about to remove the objects on the side bucket.

At this time, a stall owner came over not far away.

After two days of setting up the stall, Hu Muzhi knew that the owner of the stall was Zhang Gui. Although he looked in his fifties, he was actually in his early forties, but he was a little anxious.

Although there is not much contact, Zhang Gui gives the impression that he is a simple and honest person.

Seeing the other party walking towards him, Hu Muzhi asked, "Old Zhang, what's the matter?"

"Xiao Hu, do you know anything about those ancient swords, guns, swords and sticks?" Zhang Gui asked.

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?" Hu Muzhi asked in confusion.

"No, when the stall was closed the day before yesterday, an old man came and said that he wanted to sell something. However, it was a weapon, like a sword without a blade, like a stick with a handle, I took a look at it, although I didn't know what kind of weapon it was. , but it looks quite old, and the weight is not light, so I paid fifty yuan for it."

"It's been "four, five, seven" for two days, and no one cares, so I came over and asked you young people to take a look." Zhang Gui said.

"Like a sword without a blade, like a stick with a handle." Hu Muzhi said to himself, "Is it true?"

Hu Muzhi thought of a weapon, so he said to Zhang Gui: "Old Zhang, show it to me.

"Okay." Zhang Gui replied, then turned back to his booth.

When he came back, there was already an object with a handle in his hand, and a dark red wooden sheath was covered on the outside.

"Xiao Hu, here." Zhang Gui handed the object in his hand to Hu Muzhi.

Hu Muzhi stretched out his hand to take it, and the first feeling he felt was Shen.

It weighs seven or eight pounds.

However, Hu Muzhi did not take out the weapon inside, but took a look at the exterior.

This weapon is more than 90 centimeters long, and the handle is cylindrical, made of rosewood, and engraved with oblique spiral patterns, which should be easy to grasp.

The rear end of the handle is pierced, and if there is a "piercing", there is a hole, and the first is in the shape of a claw.

It is equipped with a round mahogany sheath from the Qing Dynasty. The two sides of the sheath are inlaid with silver wires, four-petal flowers, bats, ancient chimes, and Yingluo patterns. The sheath mouth and tail are covered with copper edges and engraved with peony patterns.

From the appearance, Hu Muzhi felt that this is not a common product.

He immediately grabbed the handle and pulled the weapon out of the sheath.

Immediately, a savage aura came over him.

Hu Muzhi's heart trembled, he understood that this was a weapon that had seen blood.

At the same time, it is a trump card, just as I guessed.

The body of the mace is ribbed, gradually retracting to the front, with four blades, each blade is 1.6 cm wide, the blades are sharp and bright, and the body has clear collision marks.

Swords, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, sharp lances, sticks, whips and hammers, kidnappers and meteors.

These are eighteen types of weapons, representing eighteen types of martial arts.

Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the civilization of mankind has been propelled by uncivilization and has been fighting wars.

Until the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Eighteen kinds of weapons, as the name of traditional cold weapons, was fixed.

Although the name is fixed, the type has changed.

But no matter how it changes, there is no shortage of trump cards.

Traditional weapons can be divided into two categories: sharp weapons and blunt weapons.

Sharp weapons are those with blades, like the most familiar knives and swords, they are light and easy to hold, and win by seeing blood; dull weapons, like clubs and hammers, rely on gravity to strike, and when a hammer goes down, the head blooms. .

Of course, the feet are short, the inch is long, sharp weapons and blunt weapons have their own merits, but the mace is an exception.

Mace is sharp and dull.

First of all, the length of the mace is generally about 80 centimeters, and it weighs several tens of kilograms. If it is swung round and hit on the body, most people can’t stand it; Six sides, eight sides.

To say that in history, who made the most powerful mace, it was undoubtedly Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong, who is good at making double mace, is known as "horses on both sides of the Yellow River, mace strikes three states and six prefectures, and shocks half the sky in Shandong".

He made great military exploits for Jiangshan Sheji of the Li and Tang Dynasty and became one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

However, Qin Qiong is better known as the door god, who guards thousands of households together with Yuchigong.

Regarding how Qin Qiong became a door god, there is a complete record in the tenth chapter of "Journey to the West", "Old Dragon King's Humble Strategies, and Wei Prime Minister's Posthumous Letter to the Underworld Officials", so I won't go into details here.

However, compared to the myths and legends in Journey to the West, it is still a saying that because of the "change of Xuanwu Gate" Li Shimin beheaded his two brothers, and then had nightmares every night. Later, a minister suggested that Qin Qiong and Yuchi should guard him so that he could sleep peacefully. Then replaced it with a portrait of a door god.

The one holding the whip was Yu Chigong, and the one holding the mace was Qin Qiong.

However, the trump card in Hu Muzhi's hand was not left by Qin Qiong, but Li Gang's.

The reason why it is so certain is that Hu Muzhi found the seven characters "Li Gangzhi in the first year of Jingkang" inscribed in seal script on the edge of the mace.

When he saw these seven words, Hu Muzhi's pupils shrank suddenly: "Li Gang's mace who has been lost for nearly a thousand years!"

If Qin Qiong of the Tang Dynasty guarded every household, then Li Gang of the Song Dynasty guarded the gate of the country and the territory of the country.

Although Li Gang was a civil official, he was also good at martial arts and was a native of Wuxi, Changzhou.

When he was young, he stayed at the border with his father Li Kui (kui). In 1096 AD, tens of thousands of cavalrymen in Xixia besieged the city of Yan'an. Li Gang, who was only 14 years old, rode his horse to patrol the city without fear.

Under the tempering of blood and fire, under the influence of his father, Li Gang not only received cultural education, but also cultivated the ability to lead the army.

In 1112, Li Gang became a scholar and the third, and three years later, he became an official to supervise the censor and serve as a censor in the palace of power.

Li Gang has a strong personality and is not afraid of the powerful. He has only been in office for a month. He was dismissed from the post of admonishing officials because he was honest with the powerful. be demoted.

However, Li Gang did not give up on himself. Since then, he not only fulfilled his duties with all his heart, but also enriched himself. Ten years later, he finally ushered in the dawn.

In 1125, Jinbing took the power to destroy the Liao Dynasty, drove the troops south, attacked the Northern Song Dynasty in two ways, and all the way was like a broken bamboo, and they advanced to Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

Song Huizong, Zhao Ji, heard that the Jin soldiers were attacking, he was terrified, and he didn't know what to do.

In the midst of a panic, Li Gang, who was then too often Shaoqing, stood up.

This civil official caused an uproar in one sentence. He actually proposed to Song Huizong to pass the throne to the crown prince Zhao Huan, in order to call on the army and the people to resist gold and protect the family and the country!

Zhao Ji was not angry but happy, and immediately passed the throne to Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng ascended the throne for Song Qinzong.

After Song Qinzong ascended the throne, Li Gang was promoted to Shangshu Youcheng, and he was appointed as the envoy of personal expedition, responsible for the defense of Kaifeng.

Li Gang did his part, carried the banner, and led the Kaifeng military and civilians to complete the defense deployment in time...

Soon after, Jin Bing began to attack the city, and Li Gang ascended the city to supervise the battle.

Under the leadership of Li Gang, Song Jun's morale was like a rainbow, and he smashed the tide-like attacks of the Jin soldiers again and again.

Unexpectedly, the Jin people could not be attacked for a long time, and immediately sent envoys to persuade them to surrender. Qinzong, who was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and the Supreme Emperor Huizong had this intention, and wanted to cut land in three towns in Hebei to negotiate peace.

Li Gang learned that Jairui was about to split and risked his death to make remarks, but he was demoted again.

One stone creates a thousand waves!

Kaifeng soldiers and civilians protested in anger, and tens of thousands of people rushed to the gate of the palace, their shouts were earth-shattering. Song Qinzong then took back his life and used Li Gang again.

However, the ceding of the three towns in Hebei has become a fact, and Li Gang can only sigh.

In February of the first year of Jingkang (1126), the Jin people withdrew their troops.

Perhaps, at this time, Li Gang cast this "mace"

.

At that time, the golden soldiers were all light-armored cavalry, and the horses and men were all armored. In this case, the sword can't use its strength, it has no lethal power, and it can only draw a line of iron flowers.

But the mace can, and the force of the mace is enough to shatter the armor and inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

He wants to use this mace to break the golden soldiers and retake the great rivers and mountains!

However, Li Gang, who offended the Lord Hepai, is doomed to have a rough road ahead. Soon after, the main peace faction counterattacked, and Li Gang was repeatedly rejected and framed.

In May of the same year, Li Gang was banished from the capital again. In September, he was forced to resign.

Song Qinzong and the Zhuhe faction did not know that the Jin people negotiating peace was just a plan to delay the army, but within half a year, the golden army made a comeback. This time, there will be no second Li Gang in the court!

On the eve of Song Qinzong's capture, he also thought of using Li Gang, but when he ordered Li Gang to enter the court, it was too late.

When Li Gang received the news, the Jin army had already broken through the city, and the two emperors Huizong and Qinzong were captured and transported to the north by the Jin army, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished.

It is called "Jingkang Difficulty" in history.

After Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty established the Southern Song Dynasty, he used Li Gang as the prime minister, but Li Gang advocated the idea of ​​resolutely resisting Jin and opposing surrender activities, but Song Gaozong and others did not tolerate it.

Li Gang resigned in anger, and since then he has been unstable in the court.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in 1140, a generation of famous officials passed away.

Li Gang died before he was rewarded for his lofty aspirations, but his passion for guarding the rivers and mountains to the death is always burning in the hearts of today's people!

Thousands of years have passed, and Li Gang's mace is back in the world 2.8!

Looking at Li Gang's mace in his hand, Hu Muzhi suddenly felt a kind of grief and grief, "The country is broken, the mountains and rivers are in the city, and the spring and grass are deep;

"Old Zhang, I like this weapon very much, how much do you plan to use?" Hu Muzhi asked directly without befuddled.

"Xiao Hu, what kind of weapon do you recognize?" Zhang Gui asked.

"This is a mace, a very special weapon. It has no sharp edge, but has the power to pierce armor; it can kill people, but kill many enemies without blood. Because of this, mace is called "good weapon" by the people. , represents justice and prestige." Hu Muzhi briefly introduced.

"Mace? What?" Zhang Gui was still confused, but he didn't bother about it and said, "Xiao Hu, since you want it, I'll sell it to you at cost, fifty yuan."

"It won't work, you have to earn a little bit." Hu Muzhi said, and took out a handful of money from his pocket, knowing that it was eight hundred without counting.

Because these are what he used to make change today.

"Old Zhang, there are only so many, what do you think?

Looking at the handful of money in Hu Muzhi's hand, although Lao Zhang was greedy, his mouth was very polite: "Xiao Hu, I can't use so much."

"If you want to take it, take it." Hu Muzhi didn't say anything else, and directly put the money to Lao Zhang.
