Chapter 202: The reappearance of the old Lu family
The retainers were reluctant to let Yu Xian's family make waterwheels, and they didn't think about this layer that was learned by Chu State.
Nowadays, people have a strong sense of "patent" in the field of knowledge, and unless it is really impossible to beat the technology of which family, or what they have is copied exactly the same, they will inevitably come to the door to ask for guilt.
In addition, even if they can't beat it, there is always a family that can beat the target of "infringement", so they will not swallow their anger and will definitely find someone to uphold justice.
Many of the great nobles still wanted to be able to uphold justice.
They will not work in vain, and they will be rewarded.
In fact, even if the big nobles want to copy the things of the small nobles, they will get permission in advance, and they will never do such a thing as "taking it without telling them".
There is no law to regulate such a thing, but it is just a consensus.
To put it simply, everyone feels that what they have is their own, and they observe such customs together in the spirit of aristocratic discipline and spirit.
The aristocracy is greedy but also very smart, and they know what kind of rules should be upheld in order to make their interests last.
After all, they themselves are vested interests, and the rules are still there, and the interests are there.
People who have no ambition and nothing are the group that most want to change the world.
Yu Xian was more or less disappointed, and looked at Lu Wu, which was full of pleading.
In the end, the person who can make the decision is Lu Wu.
He didn't have too much hypocrisy, said some rambling things about Rory, and said directly: "If the Chu State can go, how much can it increase its national strength?" ”
Ge Cun immediately said: "That's right! ”
The other retainers looked at each other for a while, trying to guess from each other's expressions whether they had thought of this.
Yu Xian's face changed dramatically at first, and when he thought about it clearly, he said with great trepidation: "If the state of Chu gets it, Song, Zheng, Chen, and Cai ...... Gone are gone! ”
Is it so exaggerated?
However, Lu Wu was happy to think so.
Seeing Yu Xian give up, he began to make another arrangement.
As for whether Yu Xian will make a waterwheel when he returns to the family, it depends on his own ethics.
In view of the fact that Lü Wu was a nobleman of the Jin Kingdom, he was still in the stage of the ascendant.
It is necessary to believe in the current strength of the Jin State, as well as the deterrent power of the Jin State against the various vassal states.
When Lu Wu wants to seek justice, the super probability is a matter of one sentence, and some of the nobles of the Song Kingdom are unhappy to find the Lao Yu family one after another in order to please the nobles of the Jin State.
Of course, if you really get that job, no one's face will look good.
Because Yu Xianhui was the first retainer to get together and disperse with the old Lu family, Lu Wu, as the head of the family, actually didn't want to make anything embarrassing.
He will not be stingy with the gifts on the wealth, and when he set off for Xintian with the troops, he specially ordered the craftsmen to build a gorgeous frame, and he will also send troops to escort him, which will definitely make Yu Xian return home in a beautiful way.
This time I went to Huimeng, and I went to the place of "Zhongli" far away in the south of the Song Kingdom.
Lü Wu was not sure if Shi 匄 (gài) would join the army formation, and it would be a little too late to send someone to ask, so he had to bring enough soldiers.
Because there was no such thing as a standing military force at all, the samurai usually prepared their own weapons, armor, and food when they were ordered to be recruited, and even brought their own retinues.
More than 7,500 soldiers, plus 13,000 auxiliaries, gathered from the "Yin" and "Lu" regions.
The larger the fiefdom, the longer it takes for the head of the house to recruit soldiers.
In the past, there was only the "Yin" land, and the samurai were basically gathered in one area, and Lü Wu issued a conscription order to gather into an army within five days.
Waiting for the construction of the "Yin" land to radiate outward, and with the fiefdom of the "Lu" land, the time required to recruit samurai has increased to twelve days.
From the time the conscription order from Yin Zhi was sent, to Lü Wu's delay of two days, and it took another twelve days to assemble the troops, which means that he only had sixteen days left to hurry.
Considering that in the past, Lu Wu would not go to Xintian from the "yin" land for more than four or five days, and sixteen days were completely sufficient for hurrying.
It's just that Kankan arrived in Xintian on the deadline, which is a bit like a deliberate manipulation, and it will be more unsightly to be over-interpreted.
The heavens were beautiful, and there was no sudden rain on the way to Lu Wu's march.
After they arrived in Xintian, of course, the troops could not enter the city in one go, and arranged to be stationed on the outskirts of the southern part of the city.
After the encampment was completed, the soldiers could enter the city in batches, or to have fun, or to buy the supplies they needed.
Whenever a large army is going to go on an expedition, as long as they come to Xintian to assemble, there are nobles in the city who are doing business and will be very happy.
What makes them happier is that once the army comes back, they will still go to Xintian to disband, even if there is no war and there is no problem of buying and selling booty, there will still be a large number of people going into the city to consume.
Lu Wu, who discovered business opportunities early, has always lived in the restless heart of Xintian to arrange stores.
Trading can be done, and there are great business opportunities, but not everyone can do business in Xintian.
First of all, we must get the permission of the king, and then we must investigate what is good to sell, and we must see if anyone occupies the supremacy of a certain industry, and we must not provoke others to engage in fair competition.
In the current years, there is no such thing as fair competition, only the standard of family strength is enough.
If you don't have that strength, you have to challenge it, and if you are shot to death one day, it is purely your own death.
This "unspoken rule" is also applicable to the old Lu family.
When the weak come to challenge, Lu Wu can shoot the other party to death.
Lu Wu had to provoke the great nobles, and no one would sympathize with him if he was shot to death.
Therefore, the happiness of the strong cannot be experienced by the weak at all.
"Yin Wuzi!" When Yin Zhou learned that the old Lu family's troops had arrived, he was sent over to make contacts, and also to check what the composition of the old Lu family's troops was. He saluted Lu Wu first, and then said: "The Lord has a word, and Yin Wuzi can follow." ”
Lu Wu didn't want to enter the city, and he didn't want to visit anyone during the Nafu period, so he shook his head and said, "Wu is staying there." ”
Yin Zhou asked, "Does Yin Wuzi have a shortage of grain?" ”
This made Lu Wu answer yes or no?
In the current era, within the scope of normal endowment, as a superior nobleman, he is not obliged to prepare anything for the lower noble, and it is reasonable to make no additional requests.
"Not really." Lu Wu felt that it was a small advantage or a small share, and said, "Do you want to review it now?" ”
Hao Zhou is not polite, and the process must be followed.
In this way, both sides are at ease, and it is like the stereotype that the nobles of the Jin Kingdom should have.
The review requires the soldiers of the old Lu family to be fully armed.
Detachment after detachment of soldiers, pierced under the direction of officers of all ranks, marched out of the battalion and lined up in the wilderness.
There is not only the camp of the old Lu family here.
The nobles who were called up were not allowed to enter the city in formation.
Because it was going to the south, the camp was naturally located in the southern suburbs of Xintian.
Every nobleman who came over had to be inspected, and a similar scene had happened on the southern outskirts of Nitta Castle I don't know how many times.
"This is the Yin Clan's armament?"
"The widespread use of evil gold armor is undoubtedly the Yin clan's armament."
"Nausea and dirty, stained clothes are difficult to wash, and it will also make the skin itchy and even ulcerate. How to endure it? ”
"There must be a trick, and there is no knowing."
"The view is majestic, I don't know where to buy?"
Although the style of the Jin army's battle robes is not completely consistent, it will also use red fabric.
The soldier's robe is not sleeved, that is to say, the cuffs of the arms will hang down the wide sleeves, and they are not bothered in peacetime, and they will be rolled around the arms during combat, and then tied with something, most of them are fixed with arm guards.
In addition, they wore a kind of loose corset, which was so loose that the calf area below the knee was tied with rope, which looked like bloomers.
Because of the existence of Lu Wu, the old Lu family did not change the uniform of the Jin army too much, and there was an extra "legging" move, and the soldier's calf part had a "legging" to make it look more capable, and it would not make the trouser leg of the calf bulge every time he stepped on the leg.
The so-called "leggings" are actually a long cloth belt (one end is flat, one end is forked into two ropes, the fork should be strong, the width is ten centimeters or wider, and the length is more than one meter and five meters.
The way to play the leggings is to wrap the flat end from the upper around the leg flat, each circle or two circles can turn the leggings over, in order to ensure that the flat leg surface continues to hit the leg bend upward, should stand up and play, the elasticity is moderate, too tight to take a step, too loose does not work, the good leggings should be tightly sealed at the mouth of the shoe, and it is not loose for a long time.
For the sake of convenience, the armor of the old Lu family is still dominated by ring plate armor and cuirass at present.
Because after the iron ore is smelted into iron ingots, the initial color is silver, and the nail pieces created are naturally silver.
In fact, iron powder is black, but once it becomes iron, it is white or silver.
If you want to change the color of iron, you must add the corresponding elements.
Lu Wu didn't do too much fancy things, or if he didn't make it black, he would actually be more oppressive when dressed.
Among the troops from the old Lu family, 3,000 of them were wearing silver-white iron armor, and the rest of the soldiers were mostly leather armor, but there were also soldiers wearing rattan armor or wooden armor.
To put it bluntly, Lu Wu is willing to arm his own samurai, but he will not distinguish between the good and the bad.
For example, some subjects had just been promoted to samurai for a short time, and their performance was not worthy of Lu Wu's priority investment for the time being, so naturally they could not meet the standard of credit borrowing.
That's right!
Lu Wu did not distribute equipment for free.
The samurai were not naïve enough to think that they could get it for nothing, and they would repay the wealth later.
This has to do with the current rules.
In fact, only the dead will get everything without spending money, but when they have to pay, they will pay it with their lives.
After a period of review, the shock in Hao Zhou's heart was all expressed on his face.
He walked into the front of an old Lu family wearing iron armor, reached out very impolitely and touched the inside of the iron plate of the cuirass, and found that there was a layer of leather attached to it seamlessly, and checked the corresponding matching helmets, shoulder pads, arm guards, wrist pads, and so on.
"The prosperity of the Yin Clan......" Yin Zhou swallowed his saliva before he said in admiration: "It started with Yin Wuziye!" ”
There's nothing wrong with that!
Isn't Lu Wu the generation of the Yin Clan!
