Chapter 1553
Ye Feng could only stand outside and watch her do the test.

Chen Xinxue was holding a dark portable device to scan the dagger sheath from left to right. A red line shot across the dagger sheath and swept across it.

After scanning it three times, Chen Xinxue put down the equipment and walked out of the laboratory.

"I heard that you have been in the laboratory for three days. Do you need to work so hard?" Ye Feng asked before Chen Xinxue could speak.

Chen Xinxue looked at Ye Feng with a puzzled expression: "How many days have I been in the laboratory and have anything to do with you?"

"You said you would only lend me the dagger sheath for a week. Do you know how long it takes to measure a parameter?"

Only then did Ye Feng realize that it was because of him, and he was a little bit dumbfounded: "I'm not in a hurry to get the dagger sheath. I'll lend it to you for a few more days. By the way, did you find anything?"

"Yes, come in and take a look." Chen Xinxue asked Ye Feng to follow her into the laboratory.

In front of the computer screen, there are two pictures side by side.

"What's the difference between the two pictures?" Chen Xinxue asked.

"There seems to be no difference." Ye Feng replied.

"Yes, this means that the dagger and the dagger sheath are made of the same material, and they were made at the same time. Take a closer look."

Ye Feng got closer and looked at the picture carefully. After a while, he made a discovery: "There are words!"

"Yes! The very small words are almost covered on the surface of the dagger."

Ye Feng tried to read the words on it: "Mie... Song... Dagger... How many times has this picture been enlarged?"

"A hundred times, the characters are only about one micron in size." Chen Xinxue replied.

"This..." Ye Feng was surprised.

If it were now, it would not be surprising to carve a micron word on an object, but if it were placed in the Northern Song Dynasty, it would be extraordinary.

Chen Xinxue clicked the mouse, and a dagger and dagger sheath appeared on the screen: "This should be the legendary Song Dynasty-destroying dagger of Li Yuanhao."

Seeing Ye Feng's confused look, Chen Xinxue then gave him a brief introduction to history.

The Song Dynasty has been threatened by powerful nomads since its establishment. The Khitan, Jurchens, and Mongols rose one after another. The Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jurchens, and the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Mongols.

In addition, "History of the Song Dynasty" also repeatedly mentions a country called Xixia, which often warred with the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty suffered repeated defeats.

Xixia is a country of the Dangxiang people, and the majority of the Dangxiang people are the Qiang people, mixed with part of the Xianbei Tuoba tribe.

Its ruler is the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei.

Xixia was originally submitted to the Tang and Song dynasties. Starting from Li Jiqian, he rebelled against the Song Dynasty, repeatedly defeated the Song army, and captured Lingzhou of the Song Dynasty.

Later, Li Jiqian fought with the Tubo people and was injured by an arrow in the Tubo people's plan to surrender. He died soon after.

Li Jiqian's son, Li Deming, was relatively unambitious and had always adopted the policy of surrendering to the Liao and Song Dynasties, trying to survive in the cracks. The Song Dynasty named him the Military Envoy of the Dingnan Army and the King of Xiping.

Li Deming's son Li Yuanhao was the founding emperor of Xixia.

It is said that this man was unusual since he was a child. He was familiar with military books and proficient in Buddhism, Chinese and Tubo.

When he grew up, Li Yuanhao suggested that his father use the wages and rewards given by the Song Dynasty to train soldiers and invade the Song Dynasty.

Li Deming said: "We have been able to wear brocade clothes in the past 30 years because of the Song Dynasty. We cannot let down the Song Dynasty!"

Li Yuanhao retorted: "It is our nature to make clothes from fur and herd sheep and horses. As a hero, you should be the king and hegemon. Why wear brocade clothes?"

After Li Deming's death, Li Yuanhao succeeded to the throne and began to flex his muscles.

He expelled the Ganzhou Uighurs from the Hexi Corridor, and launched several wars with the Hehuang Tubo, eventually ending up with today's Datong River as the boundary.Li Yuanhao has always had a dream of being an emperor.

He first abolished the surnames Li and Zhao "given" to the Dangxiang royal family in the Tang and Song dynasties, and changed the surname to "Weiming".

He also changed Xingzhou to Xingqingfu and designated it as the capital.

He also announced the "baldness order", asking all party members to shave their heads.

In the fifth year of Jingyou's reign in the Song Dynasty, Li Yuanhao finally proclaimed himself emperor, and the country was named Daxia, because it was located in western China and was historically called Xixia.

The Song Dynasty was extremely angry about this, and war between the two sides was imminent.

However, the outcome of the war was beyond the expectations of the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers.

From the first year of Kangding in the Song Dynasty to the second year of Qingli, there were three large-scale battles between the Song Dynasty and Xixia: the Battle of Sanchuankou, the Battle of Haoshuichuan, and the Battle of Dingchuanzhai.

In the three major battles, Li Yuanhao won a complete victory, and the Song army suffered heavy casualties.

Li Yuanhao said confidently: "I must go straight to Chang'an!"

Li Yuanhao was violent by nature, suspicious and prone to murder.

Such a character caused a lot of undue damage to his career.

After Li Yuanhao succeeded to the throne, in order to eliminate dissidents and prevent his relatives from usurping power, he implemented the "severe killing" policy to clear the way for establishing a country and proclaiming himself emperor.

In October of the first year of Kaiyun, the leader of the Wei Mu clan, Wei Mu Shanxi, plotted to kill Li Yuanhao. Li Yuanhao discovered it and all the Shanxi clan drowned in the river.

Li Yuanhao also poisoned his mother, Wei Mu, with medicinal wine, and killed all the Wei Mu clan members.

In September of the second year of Daqing, Li Yuanhao's uncle, the military envoy to the left wing, Wei Mingshan, encountered him. Because his advice to Li Yuanhao not to attack the Song Dynasty was not accepted, he defected to the Song Dynasty and was sent back to Xixia. Li Yuanhao had his father and son and his entire clan executed.

Li Yuanhao was suspicious by nature, and he was good at using suspicion tactics when sending troops, and he was easy to fall into the enemy's plan to alienate him.

Li Yuanhao's close ministers, brothers Yeli Wangrong and Yeli Yuqi, are the brothers of Yuanhao's Empress Yeli. They rule the left wing of Xixia Mingtang and the right wing of Tiandu respectively. Yeli Wangrong is called Yeli King, and Yeli Yuqi is called Yeli King. King of Heaven.

The second general is good at using troops and has strategies. The "mountain realm" soldiers they command are known for their good fighting skills.

In the two major battles of Sanchuankou and Haoshuichuan where Li Yuanhao fought against the Song Dynasty, he defeated Song generals Liu Ping, Shi Yuansun, Ren Fu and others.

The frontier commander of the Song Dynasty hated General Ye Li deeply and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

General Zhong Shiheng of the Song Dynasty cleverly devised a plan to alienate Li Yuanhao, allowing Li Yuanhao to easily kill the two generals.

In the seventh year of Qingli in the Song Dynasty, Song Renzong gave Li Yuanhao the surname Zhao again, but Li Yuanhao was not named Zhao, so he changed his surname back to Li.

In addition, Li Yuanhao indulged in wine and sex in his later years and was very happy with his achievements, which led to the increasing corruption within Xixia and the rebellion and separation of relatives.

It is said that he ordered the common people to build a mausoleum every day, and a total of 360 tombs were built as his tombs. Later, he actually killed all the common people.

Li Yuanhao was a lustful man and had many wives and concubines. He also liked to take other people's wives by force.

The queen, Yelishi, and the prince, Ning Lingge, were deposed and replaced by Meizang, who was engaged to the prince, as the new queen, which led to a murderous disaster.

In the eighth year of the Qingli reign of the Song Dynasty, he was killed by Zi Ninglinge at the age of 46. His temple name was Jingzong, his posthumous name was Emperor Wulie, and he was buried in Tailing.

"It is said that Li Yuanhao collected countless treasures in his life, and the secret of the treasures is hidden in a dagger called the Song Dynasty Dagger."

After Chen Xinxue finished telling Li Yuanhao's story, she brought the topic back to the dagger.
