Chapter 211: None of the kings of the contemporary nations are reliable
The monarch is coming!
This time, he once again showed his unreliability.
The Jin army arrived at the Shangqiu boundary of the Song State in mid-autumn and waited for nearly two months before the monarch arrived.
That said, the season will soon move into winter.
In general, snow begins to fall in the north at the beginning of winter, and the snowfall in the south is delayed for about a month.
The problem is that even if it is delayed for a month, it will still snow at Zhongli, the location of the alliance.
In this way, many nobles need to send a team back to their fiefdoms, and the samurai's entourage will bring winter clothes from home and set out on the road to "Zhongli" again.
If the returning party did not arrive before the snow fell, the nobles who had not carried their winter clothes in advance should not be affected by the cold, and their samurai and auxiliaries would be frozen.
In what era, those who are hungry and cold will definitely not be the upper class, but the unlucky ones will be the bottom.
When LΓΌ Wu came, he asked the samurai to prepare enough winter clothes, and he also carried a batch of them, including a sufficient amount of grease.
In other words, what is the operation of grease?
It can be used as a burning agent or applied to airborne skin to prevent frostbite.
In addition, the old Lu family used iron tools extensively, and grease can also be used as a material to prevent rust.
As winter approaches, the weather is already starting to get colder.
In icy weather, wearing metal armor is not a good experience.
Of course, wearing armor in hot weather will be more sinful, and it won't be much different from being locked in a steamer.
Under the cold, the three thousand soldiers from the old Lu family stood quietly.
Shi Xie, Xun Qi, Zhongxingyan, Han Ju, Zhi Gang, Yin Li and Yin Zhi, these "Qing", they stood behind Song Junzicheng.
Each "qing" is dressed in full armor, with a red cloak on his back, and a scarf of animal fur is indispensable around his neck.
Several "Qing" were talking about Zheng Guo being taught a lesson by Chu Guo again, and they could see some schadenfreude.
Standing behind those "secretaries" of the Jin State were the rulers from several countries.
Yuan Hua, the right master of the Song Kingdom, frequently looked at Lu Wu, and there was too much curiosity in his eyes.
In fact, I learned that the three thousand soldiers wearing iron armor were all from the old Lu family, and the nobles were all very curious about Lu Wu.
To say that the use of iron armor in the past was a very lossy behavior, Lu Wudu led the troops wearing iron armor to participate in several major battles, and now it is even more wantonly equipped, and the nobles must think carefully about whether the era of change has come.
They can be sure that there is a new technology in iron smelting, and there are means to prevent rust, or Lu Wu will be in a big way to install iron equipment.
Curiosity is curiosity, but there is no guy who doesn't open his eyes and asks Lu Wu directly.
Someone really came to Lu Wu to buy iron armor.
They also saw that the soldiers of the old Lu family were equipped with iron weapons, but they had not seen the use of them, and they did not pay too much attention to them for the time being.
In front of the team, the king flag that appeared had five strokes.
The so-called king flags are actually a piece of cloth, with some animal feathers and tails.
Nowadays, it is more difficult to paint patterns on the cloth, and the difficulty of writing is the same, so you can only play tricks on the style.
Of course, it wasn't all cloth pots, and there were also problems with paint and ink.
Lu Wu identified Daxu and found that he was only familiar with Daxu of his own monarch, and he couldn't tell which of the rest of Daxu belonged to.
He could only distinguish from the color of the soldiers' uniforms in the ranks, and he could see that there were troops from the Lu State, the Wei State, the Di State (Da Di) and the Qi State, and the number did not seem to be much.
There are only so many countries that send troops to join the alliance, and the Song State will definitely have a part in the future.
Some of the nations did not send troops, but only their own rulers, or nobles of lower status came to join in the crowd.
"Yikes!" Qi Jun Lu Huan looked at the silver light in front of him, carefully identified it to see it clearly, and muttered: "The Jin Kingdom is already so poor? β
Cui Zhu, the doctor of Qi who was in the same car as Qi Jun and Lu Huan, was stunned and asked, "Your Majesty?" β
Lu Huan said as a matter of course: "Evil gold armor, wanton dressing and wearing, not poor? β
There's really nothing wrong with what he's saying at the moment.
If you really want to be rich, you can wear copper armor if you want to wear it, or you will wear rhinoceros skin armor, and the poor and iron-headed family will wear iron armor in a big way.
Cui Shu said: "Jin Zhiyin Wuzi has repeatedly led the soldiers who wear evil gold armor to pay for it. I heard that his people are brave and unparalleled, and the people of the Yin clan are brave and good at fighting? β
Lu Huan didn't open his eyes and tell nonsense, so he said one by one: "Yin Wuzi is indeed brave, and the Yin clan's warriors have suffered minor losses in repeated battles. β
"In this way, there must be nothing wrong with the Yin Clan's wanton listing the armor of evil gold." Cui Zhu looked thoughtful, and said, "I don't know if the various families in the Jin Kingdom are wantonly arguing?" β
Lu Huan stubbornly said: "If there is nothing difficult to hide, why is it here!" β
Cui Shu stopped talking.
The nobles of the Qi country, if they are not too marginalized, who doesn't know that their monarch is a person who loves to be petty, and believes that he will continue to be reckless if he breaks his head.
In another car.
Lu Jun Heiqiu was talking to his ruling Ji Sun Xing's father, and he was also talking about iron armor.
After answering some of Lu Jun's questions truthfully, Ji Sun Xingfu suggested: "Your Majesty, maybe you can find the Yin clan to buy iron armor?" β
Lu Jun Heiqiu already knew the past deeds, so he nodded first, but asked, "I don't know how much it costs?" β
"Since it is made of evil gold, it is cheaper than bronze armor and fine leather armor." After participating in the battle of punishment against the Qin State last time, Ji Sun Xing's father wanted to talk to Lu Wu, but he didn't find a chance.
"Definitely!" Lu Jun Heiqiu used his own understanding and said: "If it is available, evil gold is not evil." If the armor is good, it will not be cheap. β
Ji Sun Xing's father disagreed.
If the price of iron armor is the same as copper armor, or even more expensive than copper armor, it is better to buy copper armor directly.
It's not the defensive power to look at, it's purely that the brass armor is higher than the iron armor.
Ji Sun Xing's father pondered, if it was not much more expensive than the copper armor, for the sake of the obvious upward trend of Lu Wu, who in the Lu Kingdom would like to buy it or not, and his family would have to buy some of it.
This is called spending money to make good karma.
"Who is this Yin Wu, who is the ancestor?" Lu Jun Heiqiu had been looking at the soldiers of the old Lu family, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was necessary to understand.
Fortunately, Ji Sun Xing's father had done an understanding and replied: "Wu is surnamed Lin." β
"The surname Lin?" Lu Jun thought for a while, first said "oh", and then asked, "I don't know where the wife of the knot comes from?" β
"The wife is the Zhao family, the Han family, the Wei family, and the Handan Zhao family have women to marry." Ji Sun Xing's father is also a native of Lu, and he must look at his background and his wife's family, and said with a smile: "I heard that he is friendly with the Zhi family, and he has been valued by the Hao family recently. β
Nowadays, women use their surnames as a prefix.
Zhao? Will it be called a win?.
Wei Han and Han Yan are surnamed Ji, and they will be Ji Han and Ji Yan.
Of course, in formal situations, women are not called by their names.
They are usually given the husband's surname and title.
For example, Zhao Zhuang Ji, which means Zhao Zhuangzi's woman, Zhao is Zhao Shuo's clan, Zhuang is Zhao Shuo's nickname, and Ji is her own surname.
Lu Jun was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Good! β
Watching the dishes is the old standard of the Lu people.
Before they interact with people, they must first understand each other's origins.
Once the background is not brilliant enough, it is okay to be strong.
People who have a bad background and no strength are not worthy of making friends with our Lu nobles!
Now Lu Jun Hei Qiu assessed in his heart and thought, "The Yin family surnamed Lin is the upstart of the Jin Kingdom?" The wife family is very generous! β
Can you not?
In terms of bloodline, both the Zhao family and the Han family are the "Qing" of the Jin Kingdom.
Although Wei is not a "Qing", the scenery is not a generation or two generations.
Another monarch of a country, Wei Guo Wei Zang had a look on his face.
His unhappiness was very simple, just because Sun Lin's father was in the same car with him.
The ruler of a country and his own monarch ride in the same chariot, either by grace or by force.
That was an arrangement made by the monarch of the Jin Kingdom, but I don't know if it was deliberately disgusting or making things difficult for Wei Jun Wei Zang.
Ji Shouman, the monarch of the Jin Kingdom, looked happy, looked at him from time to time, and occasionally chatted with Qi Xi, who was in the same car.
"Your Excellency, look." Qi Xi didn't comment on some of the bad tastes of the monarch Ji Shouman, but he didn't want to make the jokes of Wei Jun and Wei Zang so obvious, and said: "This is the soldier of the Yin clan. β
"Nothing knows." The monarch Ji Shouman just looked at it a few times, and said indifferently: "The method of making armor from evil gold, the widow is looking for yin and martial arts." β
Qi Xi was stunned for a while, and then his face changed greatly, and he said, "Don't be like this!" β
The monarch Ji Shouman still didn't care, and said: "Yin Wu has to be appreciated by few people to have today." Hearing that he was friendly with the Hao family, the widow didn't like it. β
"Definitely!" Qi Xi's head hurt and said: "Yin Wu has today because of his repeated miraculous achievements, and the king's reward is the foundation of the king." β
As for Lu Wu and Hao Zhi getting closer, Qi Xi couldn't figure out the routine.
His friendship with Lu Wu was average, and he didn't want to maintain it and went to evil the monarch Ji Shouman, but just said some fair things that he should say as a nobleman to maintain his character.
In addition, he didn't bother to complain that Lu Wu had nothing to do with the monarch Ji Shouman today, knowing that Lu Wu was grateful to the Wei family and the Han family, and maybe he had to add a Zhi family.
As a prince, he must also remind and say: "Yin Wu is friendly with the Han clan, the Zhi clan, and the Wei clan. β
"That's it." The monarch Ji Shouman was right when he thought about it, and said: "Uncle Han respects the widow, the Wei family has repeatedly offered gifts to the widow, and Uncle Zhi is a poor person. Yin Wu is valued by them, and the widow does not care about it first. β
Qi Xi decided to shut up and stop talking.
The Wei clan curry favor with the monarch Ji Shouman, purely because they have a strong request.
And the Wei family is not only pleasing to the monarch of this generation, but even to the rest of the Qing family.
As for why Zhigang is a poor man, in addition to the stain that he was captured, his nephew Zhongxingyan climbed on his head, which is indeed a very shameful thing as an uncle.
The monarch Ji Shouman was quiet and didn't have much time to breathe, and shouted very abruptly: "The widow wants to parade!" β
Qi Xi, who was thinking about things, was startled by the sudden shouting, and almost fell off the chariot with a shock.
