The combat weapons of the cold weapon era are constantly developing, but the overall development is gradually moving towards the long range, and the famous Mongolian cavalry is also an archer, not a simple knight, and after the government returns, it obtains siege weapons and return cannons, which maintains strong pressure on the Southern Song Dynasty.

The reason is very simple, it is normal for the early infantry to attack between each other, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.

Unless it is a regular soldier, against the unprotected light infantry, otherwise, one is ten, one is a hundred, this kind of rarely appears, they are all regular troops, and under the premise of similar equipment, the number of casualties on both sides is also about the same.

Since the Tang Dynasty, with the in-depth study of the bow and crossbow, the combat ability of the bow and crossbow has also begun to improve, and in the Song Dynasty, Liaoxia and Song Kingdoms, there are long-range attack weapons.

Long-range attacks are always much better than melee attacks, and under certain conditions, they can win without damage, which is much stronger than ordinary troops.

It is precisely with these foundations in front that the longbow can be popularized on a large scale in the Northern Song Dynasty, in the combat method with the longbow as the main body, whether it is heavy infantry or heavy cavalry, all their functions are to help the longbow open up space, and the power of the longbow can be fully demonstrated under the premise of keeping a distance.

Divine weapons, may have a certain lethality to infantry and heavy armor targets, it increases the lethality, for the protection ability, there is not much increase, of course Zhao Xin can not put the carefully built steel armor, to flow out, in this way, even if it is a general with a divine weapon, facing the longbow, there is no difference from ordinary people.

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Xin put this divine weapon on the commodity table, and he was not even afraid of flowing into the Liao Kingdom.

In Zhao Xin's view, the divine weapons that flowed into part of the Liao State did not have much impact on the Northern Song Dynasty, but could obtain some benefits.

The Liao State is different from the Northern Song Dynasty, it is a country established by force, and the attraction of the Liao generals is far higher than that of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the past year or so, Zhao Xin has successively given Renzong more than 100 divine weapons, and recommended the whereabouts of these divine weapons.

Perhaps, Renzong did not realize the role of the divine weapon, but after discovering that the top craftsmen of the Northern Song Dynasty could not imitate it, and there was no leakage, of course, it was in accordance with Zhao Xin's suggestion, and 8 percent of them had flowed into the Liao State through various channels.

Divine weapons, which are weapons that cut gold and break jade, are relatively rare in themselves, and the price is very high.

Divine weapons, in the Northern Song Dynasty Daimyo Mansion auction price, are more than 2,000 guan, to the Liao country, left a higher level, turned over more than a dozen, at least reached 30,000 guan, this is not cash, but some Liao country specialties, such as horses, such as a variety of precious medicinal materials.

These commodities were placed in the Northern Song Dynasty, and they were also in demand, as long as the price was slightly reduced, they could be easily sold, compared to the converted price in Liao, at least twice as much, deducting the transportation costs on the road, and the necessary dotting costs, the profit of a weapon could almost reach about 70,000 yuan.

This is not a small amount, at the beginning, Renzong may think that it is necessary to control these outflows, and don't let the outflows flow too much and cause problems.

But when the first batch of 10, after a month, was successfully sold, and got some special products of the Liao State back, Renzong was surprised, 10 700,000 guan, these weapons were also obtained in vain, although he didn't know where Zhao Xin's capital was, but it would definitely be lower than the auction price, according to the standard of 1,000 guan, the cost of 10 10,000 guan was changed to 700,000 guan.

700,000 guan is definitely not a small amount of money, even for Renzong, a rich emperor, to be honest, after the financial tension of the Northern Song Dynasty, the palace of the Northern Song Dynasty was not rich, and in the entire feudal dynasty, only the Northern Song Dynasty did not build and repair the palace on a large scale.

In the history of the Song Dynasty, left a magnificent Qingming Riverside map, showing the life of Kyoto in the Northern Song Dynasty in the 11th century, but there is no scene of the imperial palace, the imperial palace of the two Song Dynasty, in the whole history, is really nothing, at best it is a larger courtyard.

In this way, in the history of Zhenzong and Renzong, there are many times, because of the fire caused by lightning striking the palace, after the palace was burned, there was no money to repair it.

When it came to Renzong, it was even more sad, and even the emperor basically didn't have the cost of living, which was the emperor of the country with the highest income of that era with an annual income of more than 20 million.

That is, after Zhao Xin appeared, Renzong's life was a little better, and within a year or two, Zhao Xin directly gave millions of yuan in cash, not to mention some physical objects, these things appeared, and only then did Renzong's royal dignity be maintained.

Even so, it is impossible for Renzong not to put 700,000 guan in his eyes, the profit margin in the middle is too high, just the 100 weapons given by Zhao Xin, how much income can be obtained, one after another, there are as many as 80 in the Liao country, and simply 80 weapons can be exchanged for more than 5 million guan.

This is a huge amount even for the current Northern Song Dynasty, let alone simply for Renzong, of course, soon, this money was taken away by Ye Qingchen, but Renzong had to pay attention to it.

The most important thing is that the Privy Council has come up with a plan to support the hidden front with divine weapons.

After the magic weapons of the Northern Song Dynasty were widely spread throughout the Liao Kingdom, some comparison psychology began to appear, and the princes and nobles of the Liao State did not want one, which gave the hidden front a huge opportunity.

After getting permission from Renzong, the Imperial City Division got 10 divine weapons, and through this treasure, he gained a certain amount of convenience.

The battle of Liaoxia was the appearance of a shadow son, which gave the Northern Song Dynasty the greatest benefit, otherwise, the result of this battle is likely to be the victory of the Western Xia and the huge improvement, which is not a good thing for the Northern Song Dynasty.

In itself, the Western Xia was the confidant of the Northern Song Dynasty, and in a certain sense, the one who hurt the Northern Song Dynasty the most was not the strongest Liao State, but the Western Xia.

Historically, this is the case, after the battle of Liaoxia, although it has been beaten by the Liao State, the combat capability of the Western Xia has been significantly enhanced, and for more than ten years, it has kept bleeding the Northern Song Dynasty, and finally made the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty deteriorate to a certain extent.

With the help of 10 magic weapons, these spies who were later laid out had a higher status and could play a greater role, and therefore, everything in the entire Liao State was opened to the Northern Song Dynasty.

Even in an enemy country like Liao, Zhao Xin can transport dozens of divine weapons, not to mention the maritime merchants, who are pursuing lighter and more expensive things.

The appearance of divine weapons, especially when they can be purchased in a dozen or twenty pieces, these maritime merchants are of course interested.

In both Arabia and India, in the 11th century, wars were more frequent, and when there were more wars, the price of weapons was higher.

In the middle, I also have to put forward a small episode, a businessman from Tianzhu, he proposed to make the Uzi steel knife and this magic weapon compared, the original meaning is to want to reduce the price, this kind of Uzi steel knife, in India, is also quite rare, the output of Uzi steel is a lot, but there are not many people who can be able to make Uzi steel knives, and they are distributed in the most religious areas, and even in some cases, there are more craftsmen in the Arab region.

The purpose of this Tianzhu merchant is nothing more than to reduce the price, a divine weapon, which is obviously above ordinary weapons, this point, it has also been tested, ordinary knives, very easily, are cut off by divine weapons, such a weapon has value, commenting on the difference between it and the Uzi steel knife, there is not much meaning, even if it is himself, there is no great will, to promote this test.

After Zhao Xin knew, he was like a treasure, the Uzi steel knife, which is the predecessor of the famous Damascus knife, this world-famous weapon, Zhao Xin, as a lover of cold weapons, has also studied it in depth.

Historically, Damascus knives at a relatively high level, their hardness is between 58-60, and through a special process, a pattern can be formed on the knife body, which is also an important form of expression of Damascus knives.

Even Damascus knives are like this, the early Uzi steel knives are not as good as Damascus knives, and its hardness is a little lower.

This kind of magic weapon of the Ding Navy, because of the appearance of Zhao Xin, the hardness is as high as 63, which is 3 hardness higher than the Damascus knife in the later period, not to mention the early one, conservatively estimated, it should be no problem to be higher than 5.

The hardness of 5 basically represents a grade, representing the performance of the tool, and what is more outstanding is the grinding of the tool.

Zhao Xin is relatively wide-ranging, he likes longbows, and also likes cold weapons, he once had foreign powers, and he has sent the sharpest blades in the world, which has a certain standard, and now there are no reasonable measuring tools, but Zhao Xin only needs to let the masters, according to this to grind, maybe not to reach that degree of accuracy, but the sharpness has been improved by several grades.

After all, the craftsmen of ancient times were based on experience, there was no unified standard, and the degree of polishing was not very professional.

I originally wanted to promote this Chinese sword to all over the world and earn huge profits, but now, this Tianzhu businessman took the initiative to send it to the door, and he could not take advantage of this opportunity.

The Uzi steel knife appeared in the 6th century A.D., and because of its outstanding performance, it became the most famous sword in Central Asia, and every general would be proud of a Damascus knife.

The magic weapon of the Northern Song Dynasty, of course, focuses on performance, but there is no fame, he can only have his own value, and there is no special value given by fame, itself, Zhao Xin is still hesitating, what method to use to enhance the reputation of the divine weapon, this is not a short time, it can be achieved overnight, even if it is his method, it must be considered a degree, the first time it will definitely not work.

Now the opportunity to send it to the door, of course, he must grasp it, not only unified the requirements of Tianzhu merchants, but also widely spread.

In the current Northern Song Dynasty, because of the relationship between the Dinghai Navy, almost all the maritime merchants in the Northern Song Dynasty were in the Dinghai.

There are a lot of maritime merchants in this part, even if some ships are hired by the Dinghai Navy, they all stay in the Dinghai Navy, after all, the Dinghai Navy is currently developing well in all aspects, compared with Quanzhou and Guangzhou, it is a little stronger, and it is more livable.

The maritime merchants are all wealthy, and they will strengthen their security as much as possible for their own safety, and guards and weapons have become the focus.

These maritime merchants from Central Asia, they are basically equipped with some Uzi steel swords, but there are not many of them, and only the bravest of the guards will be equipped.

Now, the Dinghai Navy actually wanted to use their magic weapons to compare with the Uzi steel sword, of course, it attracted a large number of people, at least hundreds of maritime merchants.

Zhao Xin was afraid that they would not come, as long as there were more people coming, it would be enough to publicize this magic weapon, and the result would definitely be a win here.

The hardness is greater, more than some, but not much, but it is sharper, this is going to be a dead man, Zhao Xin can't think of any reason, it will fail.

When a high-quality Uzi steel knife collides with the divine weapon of the Ding Navy, Zhao Xin wants to let Sun Ji make a move, which is more foolproof, Sun Ji's control of power, even if it is a knife of the same material, can also eliminate the other party.

But after thinking about it, I still don't want it, the performance of the magic weapon itself is already quite good, it's still fairer, he didn't even let the Ding Navy make a move, but let the maritime merchants publicly elect two people with similar strength and strength.

In the middle, the Tianzhu merchant is also very confident in the Uzi steel knife, so he didn't do anything, these two people can be regarded as the best among the maritime guards, and everyone knows that their strength is almost the same.

A competition, all eyes on it, but it was carried out very quickly, mainly to concentrate the personnel, and the selection of the venue, once the personnel are determined, the venue layout, the process of the competition is very fast.

The result, of course, is that the navy won, both sides did not do anything, with the fairest method, two cuts each other, the same can be cut off ordinary blades, in many people think, this will be a protracted war, maybe, it will take dozens of rounds, to be able to finally come out of the result, who knows, a slash, the result will come out.

One side is just some small damage, and the other side is a soybean-sized gap, and it is clear who is strong and who is weak.

Not to mention some distressed Tianzhu merchants, others also paid attention and asked about the price, obviously, such a display has attracted the attention of the maritime merchants, as long as the price is right, they will definitely choose to buy.
