In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had already asked Mu Ying Zhu Biao's question.

However, the problem of Japanese pirates was not just a problem during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

That was a problem that still existed during the Jiajing period.

How could it be solved so easily.

"firearm?"

Su Jing was slightly stunned when she heard Mu Ying's words.

In his memory, when the Japanese pirates were still Qi Jiguang fighting against the Japanese, they had firearms at that time.

But now it’s only the Hongwu period, is it still there?

"Yes, the Japanese pirates have firearms. What's wrong? Mr. Su."

Mu Ying replied.

"It's nothing, my memory is just a little confused."

Su Jing replied.

He actually remembered that firearms had appeared as early as the Song Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang's Shenji Camp is famous.

After spending the whole day teaching Zhu Biao and Zhu Ru, Su Jing had really recalled the history of this war. There were indeed some gaps in her memory.

"Are Japanese pirates so difficult to deal with?"

Zhu Biao said angrily.

Japanese pirates harassed the border, and those who suffered were the people along the coast.

Mu Ying sighed and said: "Yes, the Japanese knives of the Japanese pirates are very sharp. The blades equipped by our army are often cut off during battles, so it is easy to panic when fighting."

"Why is this? Can Japanese swords be so powerful?"

Zhu Biao said a little puzzled.

In his eyes, the Japanese pirates were just barbarians, and the technology of blacksmithing and casting was all passed down from China.

Why are they inferior to the other party in terms of weapons?

"Niu Yi, it's natural for Japanese swords to be powerful. Do you know how long it takes to make a Japanese sword? It's not mass-produced, so it's naturally stronger than our army's standard saber in every aspect."

Su Jing said calmly.

Su Jing didn't understand the war of cold weapons, but Su Jing could still talk about this cold weapon.

"Oh, does Mr. Su know about Japanese swords?"

Mu Ying looked at Su Jing, her words filled with curiosity.

Su Jing nodded and said, "You know a little bit about it."

"Please also ask Master Su to explain why our army's swords are inferior to Japanese swords."

Zhu Biao immediately asked Su Jing.

He knew that Su Jing's little knowledge was not really just a little knowledge.

"Please ask Mr. Su to clarify my doubts."

Mu Ying also imitated Zhu Biao and asked Su Jing.

"Okay."

Su Jing nodded and then brought out a piece of paper.

Then he drew two lines on the paper, a straight line and a curved line.

"The blades of our army's sabers are roughly like this. They are mainly straight lines, slightly curved, and have a wider blade. In order to reduce the weight of the blade, the thickness of the blade can only be weakened.

The radian of the Japanese knife's blade has been greatly increased, the width of the blade has been reduced, the tip has a small arc, there is a pick line in the middle of the blade, and there is also a pillar line on the back of the blade. The tip of the blade remains basically the same thickness as the blade, and the back of the blade is sharpened.

It reduces the overall weight of the blade but does not reduce the strength of the blade."

Su Jing drew while talking, and a simple sketch of a Japanese sword came out.

Mu Ying looked at Su Jing's sketch and nodded slightly.

He also captured Japanese swords, which was indeed what Su Jing said.

Su Jing continued: "The thickness and curvature of the blade greatly improve the cutting performance of the blade. The strength is very high, but at the same time, it also requires high casting process."

"As far as I know, Japanese knives cannot be mass-produced at all, and only a few can be produced after a hundred are made."

"It is obviously impossible to equip our Ming army with such a sword."

"Most of the time, Japanese pirate intrusions are small-scale operations. Their numbers are small, and their weapons and equipment can naturally be much better."

Zhu Biao looked at the sketch and said: "Master Su, is there really nothing the Ming Dynasty can do against them?"

"If it's just a Japanese sword, I have a way to deal with it."

Su Jing said, what appeared in his mind at this moment was Qi Jiguang.

This is a must-learn content in history textbooks.

"Mr. Su, do you really have any idea?"

Mu Ying said with some surprise.

If the problem of Japanese knives can be solved, it will naturally be much easier to deal with Japanese pirates.

Su Jing nodded and then started drawing on the paper again.

Not long after, a sketch of Wolf Xian appeared on the paper.

"What kind of weapon is this?"

Zhu Biao could tell that this should be a weapon, but he couldn't tell what it was specifically.

Mu Ying carefully identified it and said, "Is it a spear?"

Su Jing said: "This thing is called Langxian. It is made of long moso bamboo. The top of the moso bamboo is equipped with an iron spear head. The thorns on both sides are ironed with fire to make them straight and hooked. Then tung oil is poured into it and poison is applied.

"

"In this way, although the Japanese pirates' Japanese knives are sharp, they cannot easily cut off these soft branches. The deeper layers of moso bamboo can also prevent the opponent from using long spears to penetrate."

"At the same time, the top of Langxian is very dense and leafy. It has a very good cover for Japanese pirates' crossbows and firearms. When rushing into the formation, it can not only protect itself but also be very lethal. It can be said to be both offensive and defensive."

.”

"The most important thing is that the Wolf Constitution is simple to make and the process is not complicated. Because of its huge size, it is not suitable for Japanese pirates to use, but it is very suitable for use by our army."

Needless to say, the anti-Japanese weapons invented by Qi Jiguang are very useful.

After all, it is something that has been tested in actual combat.

However, Mu Ying and Zhu Biao were not very excited at this moment, but were thinking carefully about whether the Wolf Constitution was as useful as Su Jing said.

"Mr. Su, moso bamboo is quite common, but in this case, I'm afraid the weight of the front end is not light, making it difficult to control."

Mu Ying asked Su Jing. As a general guarding one side, he still had his own ideas.

"Don't worry about this problem."

Su Jing smiled and said: "Let's go, we will make a simple wolf stick on the spot and we will know."

No matter how well you say it, after all, it is not as simple and straightforward as just taking out a ready-made sample.

Su Jing took the machete, followed closely by Mu Ying and Zhu Biao, and the three of them left the house.

Not far behind Su Jing's courtyard, there is a bamboo forest.

Although it is late autumn and there are not many moso bamboo leaves left, it does not have any impact on the production of Wolf Xian.

Su Jing chopped three of them and dragged them back to the yard one by one.

Then I simply pruned the branches, leaving the top branches and cleaning the handshake area at the back.

Su Jing did not have a tip on the front end of the moso bamboo, so she directly found a steel fork from home and installed it on it.

The branches at the front were simply roasted with fire to move them completely forward, so that they would be more lethal when stabbed out.

As for tung oil poison and the like, Su Jing didn't do anything to save trouble.

In almost an hour, three simple wolf constitutions were ready.

"Okay, you can just give it a try."

Su Jing said to Mu Ying or Zhu Biao.

Mu Ying directly picked up a wolf sword. Considering his physique, the wolf sword was not heavy.

After simply trying a few forward stabbing movements, Mu Ying had already realized the advantages Su Jing mentioned.

What this Wolf Xian pursues is not killing the enemy with one blow, but killing the enemy safely and effectively.

Zhu Biao's side is a little more difficult. Compared with Mu Ying, who has been in the army all year round, his physical fitness is still worse in all aspects.
