Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Eve of the War
Iron ——!
In the Warring States period. An army fully armed with pure iron weapons is undoubtedly equivalent to an elite division equipped with black technology equipment. Iron tools appeared in the Shang Dynasty, but they were very rare, the smelting technology was backward, and the iron ore was not found on a large scale, and iron tools began to gradually become popular in the late Warring States period, and the iron tools of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were also mostly used for farming, because of the small amount of technology and other objective conditions led to a large-scale armed army is very difficult.
Compared with copper, iron is more difficult to obtain in this era, copper is basically elemental, and the melting point does not exceed 1,000 degrees, so it is easy to obtain.
For cold weapons, bronze is often a pair of natural contradictions in hardness and toughness, so the weapons of this era are basically short swords, and it is precisely because of the hardness that the stab-based sword has become one of the main cold weapons of the armies of various countries, rather than a chopping knife.
In the era of cold weapons, the advantages of iron and bronze are self-evident, but due to the objective limitations of the technology of the times, iron weapons replaced bronze until after the Eastern Han Dynasty.
If your army is fully armed with pure iron weapons, the length of the iron sword alone is not comparable to that of the bronze sword, and there is a generation difference in terms of weapons, and the combat effectiveness of the conversion will inevitably be increased by more than one or two grades.
As long as the large amount of iron ore stored in the center of the world is operational, it can become a killer-level trump card in the hand.
It is worth mentioning that Wu'an, not far from Handan, is also a huge iron ore storage area, but it is a pity that Xinguo did not find a cornucopia at the door of his home, but only picked up some goods in the surrounding area to use it, not to mention, it is still scarce.
Lin Mu wanted to use iron of higher purity than this era to trade with the vast land and wealth of Yue, which could not only win over the feud of the Liang State to deter, but also the Yue State was rich in products, and could purchase and hoard grain and grass materials on a large scale to accumulate war potential for future wars and expansions.
"Ningxin Zhong——!" Lin Mu put away all his thoughts and stared straight at the center of the world on the big map of Jinbo. Turning abruptly is to leave the map.
Initially took charge of the Jin Kingdom, and the next step was to cut down the Liang Kingdom, take the center of the world, Chaoge, Xu, Gang, Li and other cities, take back nearly half of the territory of the Jin Kingdom, and then move the capital to Chaoge, and further plot!
"The way of heaven and earth, the world is the sea and I am the wind, because of the time and the situation, so the tide can also be ——!" Lin Mu hummed pleasantly, he, a trend-setter, was about to stir up his first ferocious wave in the Warring States of the world.
In the early morning of the next morning, at the Jin Kingdom court meeting, Lin Mu had just entered the court, and before he sat down, the sound spread throughout the hall, resounding in the ears of every courtier.
The ministers only heard his voice: "Lonely, my mind has been decided, from now on, I will raise troops with the strength of the country and cut down Liangliang!" Regain the lost ground of Chaoge, Xu, Gang, etc.! Scattered Dynasty ——! ”
Leaving such a sentence and leaving the palace in front of the court, he didn't even sit down, except for the three kings of the Manchu Dynasty, everyone was caught off guard, and they watched the young king leave as soon as he came.
The courtier who admonished the day before yesterday was angry in the main hall, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Seeking the country and fighting for diplomatic relations, the way to survive, how can the king be so child's play, saying that he will fight, and he will fight with the strength of the country, is it not a mistake for the country?" The Jin Kingdom is in danger——! ”
"Alas——!" He wanted to find the ministers of Sanqing, who was in charge of the Jin Dynasty, to persuade him, but he was pulled by his colleagues around him, and when he heard his whispers, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and brushed his sleeves away.
The ministers above the main hall saw that Sun Ningshi Sanqing was calm and calm, and knew that the matter of cutting down the beam was a foregone conclusion without any objection——! ”
There was a bang, and a pair of eyes fell on Sun Gu.
"Chaoge, Xu, Li, Gang and other places belong to the fiefdom of my Jin Kingdom, the king has the ambition of the martial arts, the great fortune of the country, the worry of the rank is really a lot of worries, the king is a master of the Guigu Gate, and has won the essence of the strategy and the road to the country——! The king's will, the strength of the country to raise troops to fight, it is a foregone conclusion, ranked, lips and teeth are cold, the old man's words have come to this! ”
For a while, these courtiers and nobles who were content with the status quo complained in their hearts, with such a monarch, where could the Jin Kingdom withstand the toss.
The only one who can stop Lin Mu's Sanqing doesn't object, even if he openly supports it, Jun Shang's iron heart is determined to attack Liang Liangguo, and with Sanqing's support, it is an irrevocable foregone conclusion.
After the court meeting was dispersed, Zuo Situ Sun Gu and Da Sima Ningyuan, the heads of the three Qings, went to meet Lin Mu.
At this moment, Lin Mu and Ying Zhan were together, but Sun Gu didn't care about winning the battle, but said with an anxious look: "Your Majesty, even if you want to cut down Liang Liang, how can the country's great policy be lightly said in the court, between your ears and eyes?" If the news reaches Liang Guodaliang, won't it be a big deal? ”
How can Sanqing not be in a hurry, a few days ago, Lin Mu pointed out the country, but he was young but had a heroic demeanor, and drew a big and fragrant pie that hooked Sanqing's heartstrings. How did you become such a bastard in the blink of an eye? How can such a big thing be said in the court, and if Liang Guo knows about it, isn't it equivalent to collaborating with the enemy?
"Sun Qing don't be impatient, there must be a reason for doing this alone." Lin Mu smiled and comforted, and the two of them were a little puzzled when they saw that he was not in a hurry at all, so they did not rush to speak to each other, and waited for the following.
Lin Mu explained with a smile: "Sun Ziyun: Cast into the land of death and then survive, fall into the place of death and then live." ”
The winning battle on the side was also a little puzzled, but Lin Mu suddenly understood this sentence and nodded slightly. However, Sun Gu and the so-called Jin General Ning Yuan have not yet understood, which is enough to show that they are embarrassed.
Lin Mu further explained: "Although there is the full support of the three Qings for this Liang, but even if the country is full of strength, there are still many people who are afraid of war and fear of war in the Jin Kingdom. ”
After some explanation, the two suddenly realized, in this way, even if there are opponents complaining, they will fully support this war operation, after all, the Jin State is defeated, not only Lin Mu will be unlucky, but the whole Jin State will have to follow the bad luck, rather than this, it is better to give it a go, maybe there is still a chance, if you dare to hide it, maybe you will be caught by Lin Mu The opportunity to be killed by a big name will not cause a big disaster.
"The king has the essence of military strategy, but the ministers are clumsy, and they can't do it!" Sun Gu immediately bowed his head and saluted, and there was a great way to be ashamed of himself.
"But the king, if this has both advantages and disadvantages, Liang Guo will definitely know." Although the general Ning Yuan is regarded by Lin Mu as a mediocre general, he is also a general of a country, at least he has a little common sense.
Lin Mu smiled, brushed his expression and restrained his expression, his expression was simply free, and said, "Put it to death and the brave wins." This is to put it to death and live again. Besides, the Liang State is currently at war with the Yue State, and it is defenseless against us, so it is absolutely impossible to expect that I will dare to attack Liang. Even if Liang Guo learned that he was lacking in skills, he would be slow to react. Therefore, Liang Guo categorically did not respond as quickly as us. This act of solitude is really the last to come, and if not, it will eventually be controlled by others. ”
"At that time, my Jin country will pour the strength of the country, there is no way to retreat, the army will be in the realm of death, it will be full of energy, like a peak arrow, like a wind and rain, and when the autumn wind sweeps the leaves, it will be like a broken bamboo, and it will win!"
"This time, I cut down Liang Liang, and I personally took command ——!" Lin Mu said a word, and the momentum was like a rainbow. At this point, Sun Gu and Ning Yuan no longer had any doubts, and promised to retreat and make every effort to prepare for war mobilization.
