Chapter 573 The shame of the Tokugawa family, used in suicide

"It's not that the sword tangs are expensive, but that compared to the sword itself, small items such as the sword tangs and sword grids are easier to preserve."

"If you go to a museum, you will find that not many ancient swords have been completely preserved to this day."

Tang Qisheng frowned.

"Most swords are actually not well preserved. After all, things made of copper and iron have been buried in the soil for hundreds of thousands of years. Even if they are not rotten, they will be rusted."

"But the sword and the sword are different."

"As long as you have a matching sword embryo, it can even be passed down forever. Especially the swords and swords of some celebrities are passed down as ancestors."

"Even if some of them are buried underground, they can still be dug out after the swords themselves rot."

"So, sword tangs and sword grids have survived more than swords."

"Another point is that the price of a well-preserved sword is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"..."

Everyone was heartbroken for a while, but they also understood that this was the truth.

But when it comes to the well-preserved swords in the Xia Kingdom, they can only recall the sword of King Goujian of Yue.

It's directly listed on the country's list of cultural relics prohibited from exporting, and you still want to sell it?

It is impossible to dream.

As for foreign countries, within the borders of the Oriental Kingdom, in addition to the water dragon sword that Master Ning named before, there are also the Bingzi Pepper Forest Sword, the Seven Star Sword, and the gold and silver fine Tang broadsword...

These are all swords from the Tang Dynasty that have been preserved to this day, and they are all complete products.

The value...don't even think about it, they are all cultural relics of the Imperial Monument level of the Oriental Kingdom.

It is usually kept in various temples and will be displayed to the public only under special circumstances.

These things are not something ordinary people can think about.

What is circulating in the market are modern weapons from many Western countries, the most common of which are Damascus steel knives.

But these are no longer considered cultural relics.

After understanding this, treasure friends no longer ask any more questions.

Master Ning’s beef beer will do.

Anyway, they don't know what this thing is, whether it is a sword or a sword, the value is beyond their imagination.

"Master Ning, can you tell the identity of the owner of this sword?"

"Can."

Ning Fan turned over the knife and pointed out a name among the lines outlined by the gold wire.

"Muramasa."

"What?"

The entire live broadcast room was boiling.

Demon sword Muramasa!

This name is very popular among them.

In different novels and anime, the appearance of the Muramasa sword means death, and the deceased is often a member of the Tokugawa family.

Even Tokugawa Ieyasu himself injured his hand with the Muramasa sword during the war.

Therefore, after Tokugawa Ieyasu came to power, he believed that the Muramasa samurai sword was not compatible with the Tokugawa family and ordered the sword to be banned. This is how the legend of the demon sword Muramasa emerged.

"To be precise, this is just a legend."

Tang Qisheng laughed when he heard their introduction.

"In fact, half of this statement is correct, and the other half is completely nonsense."

"When the Tokugawa family was not yet in power, there was frequent trade between Ise Kuwana and Mikawa."

"Swords are a specialty of the Ise region, and Muramasa was the best sword at the time, so it was natural that they were equipped on a large scale among samurai."

"Speaking of it, it's also very interesting."

"The demand for swords increased during the Warring States Period of Japan, but there was not much material available, and the quality of swords dropped a lot."

"Because of the strict requirements of the family, the Muramasa sword does not cut corners. The quality is very good. In competitions and fights, it can often beat the opponent's weapons and win."

"There are also rumors about the demon sword Muramasa."

"After all, you've never heard that conventional weapons can directly cut off other people's swords and armors, right?"

"..."

Dear treasure friends, you could still say whether the myth was exaggerated.

But when I heard this, I was completely dumbfounded.

This doesn't seem to be an exaggeration of the myth, but it's really...something is wrong!

How do you think about fighting when the sword is so fragile?

Don’t you want to improve your productivity?

"It's actually not as serious as you think. One daimyo led hundreds of people to beat up another daimyo's people, and then occupied the territory... Probably, the weapon fights in the ancient Jiangnan Village of Xia Kingdom were more exciting than this.

"

"puff!"

Dear friends, I didn’t feel anything when I heard this joke before.

Now that I have arrived in the country where the sun never sets, I suddenly feel that it is still interesting.

This is a hell of a joke.

"So, Professor Tang, do you want to say that this sword is the Muramasa sword?"

"There are so many people who don't know whose this is, right?"

"Or can you tell whose saber this is?"

"no."

Tang Qisheng knew that his treasure friends had misunderstood.

"I just want to say that Murasaki is the name of a family of swordsmiths, not the name of a specific sword."

"In Toyo Kingdom, there may be thousands of Muramasa swords, but in Xia Kingdom, there is only one fish intestine sword."

"Got it!"

My dear friends, I really understand now.

"As for this sword, I can't see it."

Tang Qisheng admitted generously.

The identification of objects from the Eastern Kingdom was not his area of ​​expertise. He was able to recognize some obvious ones because they were very similar to those from the Xia Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty.

But for things beyond this category, it’s better to admit that you don’t recognize them than to pretend to understand them.

"Can Master Ning see it?"

The treasure friends turned to Ning Fan and heard Ning Fan speak directly.

"Tokugawa Ieyasu's."

"???"

In the barrage, the treasure friends were stunned for a while.

Didn’t I just say that this may have nothing to do with ordinary people, why is this something belonging to Tokugawa Ieyasu?

"Master Ning, are you keeping this news true?"

Rao Shibao friends have always believed in Ning Fan.

But the news still frightened them.

Isn't it the Muramasa sword that Tokugawa Ieyasu himself ordered banned? How come he had a Muramasa sword himself?

"Um."

Ning Fan nodded.

"This sword actually originally belonged to Tokugawa Nobuyasu, the son of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Strictly speaking, it was still called Matsudaira Nobuyasu at that time."

"Back then, Tokugawa Ieyasu was still following Oda Nobunaga. Although he was also a daimyo, there were still people above him."

"Matsudaira Nobuyasu's wife was Oda Nobunaga's daughter, but because of the quarrel between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she told Oda Nobunaga when he returned home that the Tokugawa family had contacted other daimyo through the family connections of Tokugawa Ieyasu's wife to prepare for rebellion."

"Although Oda Nobunaga himself didn't believe this, his daughter had already come to the door and was bullied. She really wanted to beat him up, so he sent someone to investigate."

"The result of historical records is that Tokugawa Ieyasu's wife was secretly planning a rebellion, so Oda Nobunaga asked the Tokugawa family to execute Matsudaira Nobuyasu."
