The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Fame and fortune in the Xia Dynasty, Shang and Zhou Dynasty. The Five Heroes of the Heroes were in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Qin and Han Dynasties were in the rise and fall of the Qin and Han Dynasties. There were several names in history, and countless deserted hills in Beim. The predecessors collected the fields and later generations, saying that the dragons and tigers fought.

These words are from the "Xijiangyue·Twenty-one Historical Tanci" by Yang Shen, the most talented man of the Ming Dynasty. As the poem says, the Central Plains artifact changed hands several times, and by the middle of the twelfth century, it fell into the hands of the Jurchen regime, the Jin Kingdom. At the same time, the small Han court was in a corner. Although Caishiji defeated Wanyan Liang in 1161, soon after, Wanyan Yong, the "Little Yao and Shun", succeeded to the throne, quickly stabilized the situation, and two years later, the Northern Expedition of Longxing in the Southern Song Dynasty ended in the "Fu Li collapse" and returned in vain.

For two hundred years, the Song Dynasty was mostly in a passive defense against the invasion of northern nations. The key point was that it was lack of excellent war horses and it was difficult to form a large-scale cavalry group. Without the mobile cavalry, if the cavalry was a mobile army, if you wanted to use infantry to control cavalry, you could only work hard on your military equipment. Fortunately, the Song Dynasty was well-developed and the tax was heavy, and the annual finances were enough to support the heavy armor of hundreds of thousands of people. Armor was affordable, and weapons were no problem. In order to deal with the military tactics of neighboring countries, the Song Dynasty invented many powerful bows and crossbows, which greatly strengthened the Song Dynasty's defense capabilities. It also streamlined the troops after Jingkang, and there were only 200,000 elite soldiers who dared to fight in the entire country, so that the national system could be barely preserved under the iron hoof of the Jurchens.

Since we talk about weapons and equipment, we have to talk about the weapons control system of the Song Dynasty. The weapons control of the Song Dynasty was extremely strict. Relevant experts have studied that the weapons control system of the Song Dynasty was only a little looser than the dynasty of the ten Han people with kitchen knives. Common people were not allowed to possess any swords, bows, crossbows and long weapons. They could only be regarded as dull and short-blocked swords that could be used as hatchets to become fish that slipped through the net. Of course, there are exceptions in everything. Hunters who make a living by hunting can hold some powerful weapons, such as bows and crossbows.

Both bows and crossbows are projectile objects, but there are differences between the two. Crossbows have triggers and accurate centers. Although the rate of fire is slow, they have high accuracy and are relatively simple to learn to use. Most hunters chose crossbows as weapons; while in ancient times, only bows were bows. Aiming basically depends on the feel and experience. Although the rate of fire is fast, it is not easy to hit every shot. Looking at the entire Southern Song Dynasty, there was a hunter who was very good at shooting archery. No matter how far or near, he would win every shot.

In the seventh year of Chunxi (1180 AD), at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain in Shu, a figure like a monkey was shuttled through the woods. Suddenly, a white light flashed, and with a "swoosh", a bamboo arrow nailed the two hares running forward and back to the ground almost at the same time.

"It's not bad, I've got something to fill my stomach today."

This mountain man wearing leather armor and animal leather boots is named Yuan San, who is a hunter in the local village. If it weren't for his father hunting a flower bear (i.e., giant panda) ten years ago and he compensated himself and ten hunting dogs in the mountains, then there should be a "one" after the word "hunter".

Yuan San picked up the hare and smiled on his monkey-like face. Just as he was thinking about whether to eat it while roasting or stewing, loud whistles attracted his attention.

Yuan San set up a lanai with his hands and looked up. He saw a huge bird of prey circling in the air. He was shocked. He thought: How could there be such a big bird here? Well, since I haven't seen it before, why would he let it come down to know me?

After thinking about it, Yuan San picked up the bow and arrow, pulled the strings and aimed at the path of the bird of prey for a while. After venting his hand, the arrow from the string went straight into the sky. He would not have thought that this arrow completely changed his life trajectory.

It is not a good thing to harm people by nature, but it is better to cover people who are familiar with them. Only by capturing the swallows and birds and eating fishy blood, but laughing at the phoenix emperor and pecking at the Cuiyun.

The cunning rabbit hole is not aware of it, and the roaring dove is a short punishment for the king. Those who do not read poetry and books in wealthy families will play frequently on the plains.

This song is "Eagle" by Xu Jie, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. Eagles are a type of raptor with excellent vision and fast flight speed. Among the Asian eagles, the huge golden eagles are the best. Golden eagles usually live in Mongolia and fly south through the winter in the cold winter. Because the golden eagles can wingspan reach seven feet (one foot in the Song Dynasty was about 31.68 cm), and are extremely fierce in nature. They can easily capture sheep, livestock, and even children. The herdsmen hate them very much and often want to hunt them. However, the golden eagles act like the wind and are difficult to capture. And if there are warriors among the herdsmen who can bend their bows to shoot them, they will be respected as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

But Yuan San bent his bow and shot arrows in the sky. Soon, a crisp and bright whine sounded, and the wings of the raptor hovering in the air merged and fell down in a rotating manner.

Yuan San ran away quickly and when he got closer, he saw that he was only about half a person's size and golden feathers. This was a golden eagle.

What a big bird of prey! Yuan San was amazed in his heart. He squatted down and touched the feathers of the golden eagle. It was thick and heavy, and he couldn't help but feel happy: I have never seen such feathers, so it must be a good material for making arrow feathers.

If you want to say that the arrow feathers of these bows and arrows are knowledgeable, the feathers of small birds are not good. For example, the feathers of chickens and ducks are too light. After making them into arrows, they are easily disturbed by wind direction and affecting accuracy. At least the feathers of big white gooses must be used. The feathers of eagles are the thickest and do not easily deform, and are the best materials for making arrow feathers. Arrows made of eagles are called "carved feather arrows", which are quite expensive. They could even be sold for forty cents on the black market at that time (one liang = one thousand cents, one liang in the Song Dynasty is about 1,500 yuan now).

After thinking about it, Yuan San opened his waist bag, pulled up the eagle feathers, and put them in one by one. Not many were pulled out, and there were a few barking sounds not far away.

"The Thunder Lord has found it!"

Yuan San looked at the human voice, but saw a vicious dog with agile body and agile limbs jumping out. The dog rushed to Yuan San, frowned and had a long kiss, with a hideous face, but only barked and didn't bite.

Dogs are divided into three categories: long kisses are good at hunting, short kisses are good at guarding, and medium-sized good at making Peixian dog meat. However, this yellow-haired long kiss hunting dog only barks and does not bite when he sees Yuan San. It is not that it is not good at hunting, but because Yuan San is a hunter and has dogs at home, it is fearful, and the other is that it smells the same kind of smell on Yuan San, so it does not attack easily.

"Where has the Thunder King run?" After the voice, it appeared a young man in a safari costume, with a few servants with guys next to him.

The young man saw the golden eagle with arrows stuck in his body at first sight, with a look of shock. When he saw Yuan San who was plucking his hair, the expression on his face changed from astonishment to anger. Before the young man could speak, a servant next to him said, "Young master, this must have shot your golden eagle, let me ask him for guilt!" Then he pulled out his knife and walked towards Yuan San.

As mentioned before, the control of weapons in the Song Dynasty was not as relaxed as imagined, but was very strict, and put a lot of restrictions on the types of weapons that civilians could hold. Unless they were in-service soldiers or military societies (such as Bow and Archery Society, Mashe, Zhujiazhuang, Zengtou City, etc.), the weapons that ordinary people could possess were generally Park and Bandao. And even this servant could wear a ring-headed sword, the young man must be even more than an ordinary person.

Who is this young man? He is Dong Li'an, the only son of Dong Liansheng, the leader of Chengdu Daoma Society. Dong Liansheng is a well-known local figure. When he was young, he joined the army and served as the battalion commander under Wu Lin's account. After retiring, he formed the Daoma Society through his connections to teach martial arts among all the religions and other ranks. Moreover, Dong Liansheng has always said bluntly that anyone who asks him for his business must charge 600 guan (at that time, one tael of silver was exchanged for three guan coins, and the one-guan coins were 770 copper coins), so he had a taboo name "Dong Liubai".

Dong Li'an was influenced by the eyes since childhood and liked to dance with guns and sticks. He was quite fond of pulling Huang Qingcang and took a group of servants to the pedestal. In order to satisfy his son, his father Dong Liansheng specially found a way to get a golden eagle with a wingspan of seven feet long from the Jin people and gave it to his son. Dong Li'an was very happy. As soon as he got his hand, he held the evil dog Thunder God and led his servants out to play with the eagle. But he never thought that before he could fly for a while, he was shot down. Yuan San, who shot the golden eagle, was also ugly and looked like a monkey. Dong Li'an was even more angry. The servant with the eyes saw that the young master was angry and immediately stood up to express his anger for his master.

"What are you going to do?" Yuan San was a little panicked when he saw this attitude and asked loudly.

"What are you doing?" the servant sneered and said, "You shot to death the golden eagle of Master Dong, the young master of the Daoma Society of Chengdu. Why do you dare to ask us for such a big mistake? Look at the sword!"

If you say that it was a rule of law society back then, I had never heard of someone chopping him up because he shot a bird to death. Yuan San has lived in the mountains for many years, occasionally going to the town to sell wild game and exchange for some wine. He knew few people and didn't know Mr. Dong at the Daoma Club at all. In addition, he was a hunter who killed animals every day and was twenty years old. Now that shooting the Eagle to death is like committing a serious crime, he naturally felt angry. He took an arrow, aimed at the servant in front of him, and said sternly: "Stand and don't move!"

Although the servant was dependent on the power of the people, he also knew the power of the strong bow. He cherished his life and kept his sword in his arms.

Taking this opportunity, Yuan San said: "I don't care who this golden eagle originally belonged to. I can hunt with my own skills, that's mine!"

"Ah! OK, OK!" Dong Li'an heard this and stared at him with a strange voice.

Usually, Dong Li'an relies on his father's connections in Chengdu, his restaurants, running horses and running horses on the streets, bullying men and women, and taking tricks. As long as it is not too much, someone will help him to pacify. He has always believed that as long as it is what he wants, there is nothing he can't get except the throne of the emperor. He never thought that he would meet a more domineering person today, which made him feel competitive.

Dong Li'an shouted: "You mere hunter dares to say such things. I want to see how capable you are. Thunder God, bite him!"

After Dong Li'an said that, the evil dog called Thunder God rushed towards Yuan San. But before he could touch Yuan San's trouser legs, the dog leaned on the ground without a humming sound, with an arrow inserted on the dog's head.

"Oh, you can stew dog meat tonight." Yuan Sanban said mockingly.
