Lü Wu had frequent correspondence with several nobles and learned a fact.

Each of the nobles who were drafted this year had to bring enough chariots and soldiers.

What if you can't do it?

A burst of retribution is inevitable, and if it is too serious, it will be reduced to a fief.

Lu Wu had already expected a result.

The nobles will definitely arm the part of the people who originally belonged to the "envy", and pretend that they are "apprentices" to fool the officials who accept the inspection.

The samurai of the old Lu family were substituted for the dead and wounded in the battle.

That is, dead or crippled samurai, their eldest son to supplement.

Not counting the temporary armament of the lords who were repeatedly selected and trained from among the subordinate people, the number of warriors of the old Lu family was only two thousand five hundred.

Among them, 400 people were carefully selected from the subordinate people and given by Lu Wu himself.

It's not a thorn seal.

Only the monarch has the power of "thorn sealing".

As a nobleman, of course, he had the right to reward all those under his rule, including freeing slaves and selecting subjects to become samurai.

To a certain extent, as long as Lu Wu has a large enough fief and is not afraid of making ends meet, he can theoretically promote as many warriors as he wants.

And the samurai are endowment, that is, in addition to working for the nobles, how much they produce has nothing to do with the nobles.

What was produced for the nobility were subjects and slaves.

The subjects retained their own freedom to a certain extent, including not wanting to mix with a certain nobleman, and being able to take refuge in others, or simply become savages.

Slaves belong to the property of the nobility, and life and death are all in the mind of the nobility.

Lu Wu didn't want the number of slaves under his name to be too large, and the fear of turmoil was only one thing, but more because the slaves didn't work hard.

Only those who have constant production have perseverance, and they are willing to fight hard when they encounter invasion.

Nothing is your own, there is nothing to lose, whoever likes to grab it will come.

For them, at best, it's just a change of owner.

Of course, Lu Wu can't go against the current trend, make everyone equal, and then scatter his own property.

What he can do is who gives how much, give the corresponding reward fairly, and then protect them to live in peace.

In three years, 400 people were promoted to become the samurai class, judging by the total number of people under the rule of Lü Wu, it did not seem to be too many, and even slightly less.

This is the restriction of the grain production of the old Lu family.

If the old Lu family can ensure that the grain production is sufficient, how can they all be "lower doctors", and there are fiefs with a circumference of one hundred and fifty miles on all sides, it is appropriate to increase the number of warriors to at least four thousand.

On this day, Lu Wu came to the smelting base in the mountains.

In the distance, you can see several black smoke billowing into the sky, and closer you can see a number of factories enclosed by walls.

Zhuo Zai was in charge of the production matters, and he already knew in advance that Lu Wu would come over, and he was waiting for it early.

Lü Wu was taken to a warehouse.

The buildings here are all made of bricks, which is quite different from the buildings outside the mountain.

Firmness is one thing, and in terms of Lu Wu's aesthetics, it will be more pleasing to the eye.

The door to the warehouse was opened, revealing a long, dimly lit hallway.

Zhuo first asked people to go in and light torches, and then took Lu Wu in.

At the end of the corridor there was another door, and when it was opened, you could see rows of weapon racks, many of which were inserted vertically on top of the weapon racks.

These "Ge" of Zhan Ge are all made of iron, but they have not yet opened.

Among the countries in the Chinese cultural circle, the current mainstream weapon is the battle ge, which is divided into three types: long, medium and short, each of which has its own specific purpose.

The pole has a length of eight meters, and is generally used by charioteers.

The pole with a length of four meters is used to charge through the formation.

The two-metre-long pole is used in the melee.

Because Zhan Ge is the mainstream weapon, Lu Wu decided to use iron to build weapons, and the weapon that is most produced is definitely Zhan Ge.

"I'm so busy!" Lu Wu saw the situation in the warehouse, and the storage method wasted too much space, so he laughed at himself. He said to Zhuo: "Zhuo, you can usually separate the 'Ge' from the rod, the 'Ge' is soaked in grease and packed in boxes, and the 'rod' is stored in bundles. ”

There are twenty poles of war in one weapon rack, and there is no empty space for nearly a hundred weapon racks in the entire warehouse.

Not only does this waste too much space, but the weapon is also directly exposed to the air, and it will definitely rust over time.

Zhuo's explanation of Lu Wu will be remembered with his heart and executed unconditionally.

Next, Lu Wu went to several other warehouses.

How many weapons are stored at home, and what kind of weapons are there, Lu Wu can actually find out the data.

For example, Zhan Ge, since he ordered a large production before the winter began, a quarter has passed, and with the reserves of the previous two years, the number has reached 4,300 strokes.

When he participated in the war last year, Lü Wu equipped his own samurai with some spears, and came to the conclusion that the spearmen were not so useful.

He by no means thought that spearmen were useless, but they were not numerous, and it was difficult for them to show their power.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and even in the Western Han Dynasty, Zhan Ge has always been the mainstream weapon of the Chinese army.

How was it eliminated later?

Lu Wu admits that he doesn't know much about cold weapon warfare, and he has the intention to innovate the military, but he has not made any major moves.

This time he would go out with forty chariots and fifteen hundred samurai.

The chariot has been improved with more axles, brakes, and a little bit of gadgets on the wheels.

This gadget is the "spine" of the all-metal structure.

To put it bluntly, it is a lethal horizontal bar that goes out and rotates, and the blade rolls over.

At the same time, in view of the previous "", that is, the fragility of the wooden fence of the car wall, a layer of iron was wrapped.

It has become a norm for the old Lu family warriors to be interfered with by Lu Wu.

Fifteen hundred warriors, Lü Wu's weapon requirements were that one hundred and fifty men were equipped with iron tower shields, and then they were issued with war swords; Three hundred samurai used spears with rods up to eight meters; The rest are all soldiers.

Now there is no word for "knife", and although it is in the shape of a knife, it is still called a sword.

At the same time, Lu Wu took out six hundred sets of metal armor, with the number of cuirass styles being the majority, and a small number of ring pieces of armor.

It is equivalent to trying back and forth, taking an adaptation value, Lu Wu still felt that the cuirass manufacturing time was less and the cost was suitable, so he made the cuirass in large quantities.

He also wanted to make a new attempt, that is, to create a small round shield and a war knife, and then research a suitable armor to train a group of sword and shield soldiers.

In fact, there are similar classes in this year, but they are sword and shield soldiers.

In the past, the Zhao clan had a group of sword and shield soldiers, but with the fall of the Zhao clan's main sect, a large number of sword and shield soldiers equipped with war swords and shields disappeared in the Jin Kingdom.

It's the Qi State in the east, they are trying to carry out military innovation, and they have gathered a group of rangers with high martial arts, what kind of martial arts fighters, or fencers?

To put it bluntly, the ranger is the second eldest of some families who cannot inherit the family property, and when they reach the age, they will be kicked out of the house and live in the city to make all kinds of business.

A very famous "Dong Guo Li", he is a representative of the early ranger world.

The old Lu family must have their own signature troops, and what strong troops they can make depends on whether Lu Wu has that ability.

Lu Wu distributed weapons and equipment.

The samurai who were given weapons and equipment were pooled for training.

They learned that if they performed well this time, the weapons and equipment issued by the head of the family would be given, and they would not be able to do their best to receive training.

A little bit of spring blossomed, and the monarch began his own moves.

The monarch told several "secretaries" that he would be in person this time, but he was interrupted before he finished speaking.

After what happened last time, how dare Luan Shu give the monarch a chance to mess around.

The other "secretaries", whether they value their own interests or take the country as the starting point, know very well that this time the conquest of the Qin State is not allowed to have uncertain factors.

Ji Shouman has only been a monarch for a long time, and he usually shows defensiveness and hostility towards the nobles, and he even made a lot of trouble last year.

The "secretaries" did not care too much about the monarch's defense and hostility.

The strength of the monarch and the clan is weak, and it is reasonable to think that they want to turn the situation back, but it is not normal to think otherwise.

Several monarchs have been like that, and only one Zhao family has provoked too many people to be cleaned up.

After the events of the Zhao family, the nobles who were refreshed also came back to their senses.

They feel that they should fight and fight, and they still have to take it easy.

In short, it is not that the nobles cannot be destroyed, but the interests cannot be taken away by the monarch and the princes.

The Jin State attached great importance to this crusade against the Qin State, knowing that the monarch was unreliable, and they didn't want the monarch to take the clan to make trouble.

Including the marshal, all the "secretaries" unanimously opposed the king's personal conquest.

The monarch who was unanimously opposed was furious, and he could only be angry, and then sarcastically mocked whether the monarch was not a minister or something, and he was powerless to change anything.

In view of the long-term service of the four legions of the Jin State last year, which delayed the spring ploughing and autumn harvest, and the management of the military had to take care of the civil affairs Luan Shu, he decided to recruit some of the people of each legion first, and the rest would be issued a conscription order after the spring sowing.

The farther away from the borders of the Qin State was, the sooner the nobles received the order to be called.

After the spring blossoms, they embarked on the road to the territory of the Zhou royal family.

A nobleman like Lu Wu, who was not far from the Qin State, was given the treatment of being able to breathe at home until the end of spring sowing.

Luan Shu kept urging the nations, so that no matter what the nations also needed to sow, he had a strong attitude and demanded that the nations leave as soon as possible.

The attitude of the rest of the "Qing" is very consistent, most of the nobles in the country are uncomfortable, how can they make the countries feel better, and they support Luan Shu's decision very much.

When Lu Wu got the news from Xintian, he began to admire Luan Shu, and thought: "The national strength of the Jin State has begun to decline because of the successive wars, and it is impossible to directly send troops to weaken the surrounding countries, urge them to send troops, disrupt and interrupt their production?" ”

What is a qualified military strategist and a righteous ruler?

Luan Shu may not have a relevant concept, but he did it!

Lu Wu was still paying attention to another matter.

Wei Xiang, who was sent as an envoy last year, must have gone to the Qin court, has the "Book of Absolute Qin" been presented, and has he returned safely?

Lu Wu pondered that it should not be yet.

Otherwise, Wei Xiang's masterpiece should have an impact.
