Fried my brain reading about ancient coins and stuffs, and faced my most severe writer's block since forever, but I've finally finished revising (or more precisely, rewriting the entire thing) this old blog post from 2016 before the year ends!

I appreciate the level of dedication you put into revising this article. A nice article that succinctly summarizes the motivations of the various parties. This causes me to think about how human nature creates these cycles of conflict and betrayal (not just in southeast China during this era, but what would occur in later periods in Chinese history).

I'm very curious about the repeated mention of dual-wielding, given common arguments that fighting with a sword in each hand wasn't a battlefield weapon set. (This appears to be true for medieval & Renaissance Europe.) Using ōdachi to dual-wield surprises me. How big were the swords in question? It seems like it'd be too awkward with two large ōdachi.

Yes, it'd be awkward. It seems the second sword was mostly for distraction/decoy purpose and they still used only one sword in actual fight.
