The snake wisdom died, and when the spring ploughing was about to end, he closed his eyes forever, without sorrow or pain, and walked away peacefully.

The first patriarch of the snake clan died, and Snake Zhi made a will before his death, and Snake Wei (36 years old), who had already served as the deputy minister of transportation, took over as the patriarch of the Snake clan.

The Ministry of Transport was established by Snake Wisdom, and as the son of Snake Wisdom, Snake Wei will become the Minister of Transport in the future.

At the beginning of spring ploughing, Su Yan handed over the knitting technology to the three women in the palace, and the three women spent time knitting woolen sweaters and wool pants every day, and the craftsmanship became proficient from rusty little by little, but the first time to knit woolen sweaters and wool pants, the three women took a long time to complete, nearly a month to complete.

There are also reasons why the knitting technology is not perfect, Su Yan does not have an in-depth understanding of knitting technology, and if she wants to complete a woolen sweater or woolen pants, she has to work hard with three women, and finally the three women will perfect the knitting technology.

The woolen sweater woven by the moon is based on Su Yan's body, and Su Yan tried it on, which was a little out of shape, but it was enough.

"Eyue, the three of you can get together with the wives and daughters-in-law of the ministers and hand over this craft to them." Su Yan said.

"Okay." Eyue nodded.

Su Yan's words are understood by the three daughters, which means that the technology of knitting woolen sweaters and wool pants is spread, and this kind of thing is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened, for example, after a new style of dishes is made in the palace, it will be spread by the women in the palace, and everyone also understands that this must be made by the king.

Xia Guo is not a feudal society like ancient China, there is no saying that "a gentleman cooks far away", Su Yan came up with new dishes, new techniques, and new technologies, which is a kind of progress for Xia Guo, which will increase Su Yan's prestige, and the vast majority of Xia people understand that everything in Xia is brought by the king.

Day Tribe

Spring ploughing has passed, the leader of the Japanese tribe and other high-ranking tribes have a trouble, more than two months, the fleet of the Xia Kingdom has not appeared, is something happening? The Sun Tribe and the Sun Tribe still want to continue trading with the Xia Kingdom.

In the early spring of the previous year, the Xia tribe sent an invitation to the Japanese tribe, and the Japanese tribe (camp), which was already the regional overlord with a population of more than 10,000, naturally did not have the idea of accepting the invitation of the Xia country.

However, refusing the invitation of the Xia tribe may lead to hostility between the two tribes, and the Sun tribe has prepared a new home in advance, which is the former night tribe residence, and once the two tribes become enemies, the Sun tribe may choose to move.

In addition, it is possible to choose to gather all the warriors of the Japanese tribe camp to resist the Xia country, and the Japanese tribe camp, which has a population of more than 14,000, is completely able to gather 5,000 fighters, since there is a gap with the Xia country in terms of weapons, it can also rely on the numerical advantage to block the Xia people.

A year has passed, and there has been no change in the refusal of the Xia tribe to the Japanese tribe, and the two tribes continue to trade with each other, which also makes some of the high-level Japanese tribes think that the Xia tribe is a friendly "tribe", just a simple invitation, and will not make the two tribes bitter because of the invitation, and there is no need for the Japanese tribe to move, and there is no need to prepare for battle.

This is a good thing, the high-level people of the Japanese tribe are relieved, the Japanese tribe is strong enough and is already a regional overlord, but after learning about the strength of the Xia country, the high-level people of the Japanese tribe do not think that the Japanese tribe camp has the strength to reach the Xia country.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Xia Kingdom is far away from the place where the Sun tribe lives, and relying on ships, the Xia Kingdom cannot bring many people over at one time, which is the reason why some high-ranking people of the Sun tribe want to gather the entire camp of fighters to resist the Xia Kingdom.

Another year passed, and the seven affiliated tribes of the Sun tribe sent animal skins to the Japanese tribe after the end of winter, hoping to trade with the Xia Kingdom, obtain some weapons and equipment, and trade some white salt, pepper powder or something.

Unexpectedly, more than two months had passed, but Xia Guo's fleet had not arrived, and no one knew what had happened.

"The Xia Kingdom has fallen?"

"Impossible, impossible, the Xia Kingdom is so powerful, how can it be destroyed, even if our tribe perishes, the Xia Kingdom will not fall."

"Could it be that the Xia Kingdom is at war with some powerful tribe and has no time to trade with our tribe?"

"It's possible."

The high-level leaders of the Japanese tribe were thinking nonsense, not knowing what was going on, the weapons and equipment, white salt, pepper powder and other commodities of the Xia Kingdom were all needed by the Japanese tribe and its affiliated tribes, especially weapons and equipment, each tribe in the Japanese tribe camp was equipped with a large number of weapons, the more weapons and equipment, the better, and the leaders wished that all the clansmen had a copper weapon, all wearing rattan armor and holding rattan shields.

The price of just exchanging a copper weapon is not small, just exchanging it for animal skins, and it can't be exchanged much in a year, and there are not many beasts left in the area around each tribe, so they can only go to farther areas to hunt.

The high-ranking members of the Sun tribe were cranky about the fact that the Xia country's fleet had not come for more than two months, and the same was true for the fishing tribe's side, and the two tribes could not imagine that the Xia country had waged war against those tribes who did not accept the invitation of the Xia country, and wiped out one tribe after another.

The population of the Sun tribe and the fishing tribe is relatively large, and the strength is slightly stronger, and they are temporarily put down by the Xia Kingdom, and the temporary release does not mean that they will be left there, when the eleven weaker tribes are solved first, it will be the turn of the Japanese tribe and the fishing tribe.

"The Xia people are coming, we have to take up arms to defend our homeland, come with me, we will block the Xia people together."

"Oh no, the people of the Xia Kingdom are here, our tribe is not the opponent of the Xia Kingdom, run."

In the face of the first and second legions of the Xia Kingdom, some tribes chose to resist hard, but they were easily defeated, and some tribes chose to flee, but were caught up and captured by the Xia soldiers with higher physical fitness.

But there are also tribes who choose to move early, leaving the warriors in a hurry.

At the end of spring, the tribes on both sides of the Yellow River Basin between Yancheng and Xia Guo were either wiped out by Xia or moved early, and now there are only five tribes left in the area on both sides of the Yellow River Basin between Xia and the fishing tribes, and before the end of summer, the first and second armies of Xia will end this year's foreign war.

The battle between the First and Second Legions will end before the summer, but that doesn't mean that the foreign war in the summer will end this year.

By the end of the first month of summer, the 300 reserve cavalrymen of the cavalry unit had completed three months of training, a few of them were unqualified due to physical reasons, and the remaining 290 or so reserve cavalry had all been regularized.

The unqualified reserve cavalry, Mu Shi did not let them go back, they could not become cavalry, but they could still stay in the cavalry unit and be responsible for some miscellaneous affairs of the cavalry unit.

At the end of the reserve cavalry training, the cavalry town officially began to reorganize, the original two teams were separated, and the recruits were mixed to form five teams, the deputy captain was promoted to the captain, the tun chief was promoted to the deputy captain, the deputy tun chief was promoted to the tun chief, the chief was promoted to the deputy tun chief, the chief was promoted to the chief, and the veteran was promoted to the captain.

Snake Jiao is a member of Wu Chang's promotion to Shi Chang, and his four subordinates are still following him, two of which are good performers are promoted to Wu Chang, and then Snake Jiao is one to make up six recruits, one tithe.

In most cases, veterans are promoted one level on the basis of their existing ranks, but there are also soldiers who have achieved the next rank in the last war and are promoted by two ranks, one from the commander to the deputy commander, and the other from the chief to the commander.

Xia is still a public-owned society, and all kinds of things are distributed according to the number of people and age, but people with higher ranks can get a little more, and soldiers want to make meritorious contributions, and meritorious service can not only get women, but also some other rewards.

Before they lived their current life, they regarded their current life as a happy and beautiful life, and after living their current life for a few years, everyone didn't feel much, and now they are pursuing more things, such as having more women, having a higher status in the Xia Kingdom, and so on.

Meritorious service on the battlefield is one of the shortcuts, minors think that they can become a powerful warrior, but not everyone is suitable to be a warrior, and a country cannot be composed of all warriors, all the number of students in each city war academy every year is fixed, and there will be no unlimited admission of students.

Soon, the cavalry town completed the reorganization, and the cavalry troops were originally formed in order to let the Xia Kingdom get involved in the grassland, but now the cavalry town has just completed the reorganization, and it will take a while for the veterans and recruits to train and run in together.

And war is the way for recruits to grow quickly.

Three months passed, and the cavalry troops gradually gave up the task of grazing, on the one hand, the number of cattle, horses and sheep grazing continued to decrease, and they were transported to various cities in the Xia Kingdom, and on the other hand, there were people who specialized in grazing in the cities.

Farmers farm, herdsmen graze, everyone has to specialize in projects, but the people of Xia have more time in contact with grazing, and they still need the cooperation of those women from the Feng tribe.

"Drive! Drive! ”

Trample! Trample! Trample!

Nearly 500 horsemen in the cavalry town galloped outside the city, Mu Shi often let the cavalry fight each other in teams, melee weapons were replaced with wooden knives, arrows were replaced with no arrows, even if they were cut by wooden knives and shot by arrows without arrows, there would not be much damage, the cavalrymen were wearing leather armor, and even the red marks would not appear when they were cut and shot on the body.

Zhongjing City is the capital of the Xia Kingdom, the most populous city, and the accumulation city is the strongest city in the Xia Kingdom, not only the cavalry of a town, but also the chariot troops that have just been formed.

Mainly black, angular and angular, need to use two horses to pull a two-wheeled chariot, each chariot approved to carry seven people, a coachman, two sword and shield soldiers, two pikemen, two archers, it should be noted that the chariot horse is covered with leather armor to resist the enemy's arrows, bone knife attack.

At that time, the Xia Kingdom lacked cavalry, and the carriage barely used as a chariot was able to carry many soldiers to follow the cavalry to attack the Wind Tribe, and finally the Wind Tribe was destroyed, and the contribution of the chariot troops was not much lower than that of the cavalry troops.

However, the disadvantages of the chariot are also obvious, compared with the cavalry, the speed is slower, the chariot cannot be used to pursue the enemy cavalry, and the chariot can only be used to attack fixed targets or charging enemies, and the chariot can also be used for escorting prisoners, transporting supplies and other tasks.

After considering it all in the blue, Su Yan decided to establish a chariot unit in the city, and the cavalry troops and chariot troops could only be used in the vast grasslands, and it was difficult to use the cavalry troops and chariot troops to attack those farming tribes, and the cavalry troops and battlefield troops could not pass through the dense jungle.

At present, the size of the chariot force on this side of the city has reached 20, all the chariots are made by the carpenters of Zhongjing City, and transported to the city by boat, the size of the chariot force will reach 50 this year, and there will be at least 100 chariots next year.

When it comes to combat duty, the commander of the city corps arranges for the combatants to get on the tank, and a certain amount of time is set aside for integrated training on weekdays.

The most surprising thing is that the chariot unit directly belongs to Lu Zhe and is personally commanded by Lu Zhe.

The cavalry unit has been expanded, and in the autumn it will go deep into the grassland to look for fighters, and if you do not join the cavalry unit, you will stay in the city, and it will be difficult to have a chance to make meritorious contributions.

With Lu Zhe's status and status, there is no need to make meritorious contributions, but Lu Zhe, as a "former soldier", likes to fight, and does not need to stay in the city all the time, waiting for the battle to come to the door, it is better to personally lead the chariot troops, and there are still many opportunities to follow the cavalry troops into the grassland to participate in the battle.

Similarly, the soldiers of the field/war army and the city defense army have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions on the grassland, but the opportunities are much less than those of the cavalry, and the cavalry is highly mobile and can gallop on the grassland at will.

……

In the summer, the craft of knitting woolen sweaters and pants spread from the royal palace to the entire Zhongjing City, and then began to spread to the cities of the Xia Kingdom.

The three seasons of spring, summer and autumn are obviously not a good season for knitting wool sweaters and wool pants, and the women of the summer country have other things to be busy with, but they don't have time to knit wool sweaters and wool pants, but this craft must be learned, and it doesn't take much time to learn, even if you don't fully learn, when winter comes, you can get together and knit wool sweaters and wool pants together.

With Su Yan getting the order to shear sheep in the spring, all cities, especially the storage city, have harvested a large amount of wool, and took time to process the wool into the final product wool, which can fully meet the consumption of wool by women this winter.

Every time in winter, it is always the most difficult time, the weather is cold in winter, especially during the day, most of the time everyone can only stay in the house, almost no other work, and there are not many entertainment activities to pass the time, now this piece of time I don't know how to spend can finally find something to do, diligence is the tradition of the people of Xia country.
