What is missing in the Xia Kingdom? It is the population, when the two legions of the Xia Kingdom were about to go out to fight, Su Yan specially told Lu Chen and Snake Shou to kill less enemies and capture more prisoners, and a large number of slaves are needed to mine and build a city, and Lu Chen and Snake Shou sent this matter to every soldier.

The warriors of the Jianmu tribe armed with copper weapons are the most powerful group, as long as they are eliminated, the morale of the Jianmu tribe will definitely be greatly reduced, and it is even possible to directly rout and escape.

The powerful longbow and arrows pierced the rattan armor and the rattan shield together, and in the blink of an eye, there were few of the thirty or so warriors of the Jianmu tribe armed with bronze weapons.

The leader of Jianmu was also armed with a bronze weapon, but the leader of Jianmu did not stand at the forefront and survived, but seeing that the strongest strength of his tribe was easily killed by the Xia people, the leader of Jianmu was blinded.

"Archery! Shoot arrows quickly. ”

The arrows of the Jianmu tribe continued to shoot towards the array of the first legion of the Xia Kingdom, which was easily blocked by the copper shield and leather armor, and after almost all the strongest team of the Jianmu tribe were shot, the first legion gave up archery, and the array continued to move forward rapidly.

The distance between the two sides was already very close, and in the face of the advancing First Army of the Xia Kingdom, dozens of people in the Jianmu tribe array stepped back in fear.

Dozens of people retreated, a hundred people retreated, hundreds of people retreated, and finally it became the first legion of the Xia country to stride forward, and everyone in the Jianmu tribe array retreated quickly, even the leader of Jianmu could not stop it, and the leader of Jianmu did not dare to take the lead in rushing towards the first legion of Xia country.

"The copper weapon is extremely sharp, and everyone in the Xia Kingdom has one, how can we block it."

Seeing the bronze weapon reflecting the metallic light in the hands of the warriors of the Xia Kingdom, some of the clansmen of the Jianmu tribe trembled with fear, and they were afraid that the next moment this copper weapon would appear on them and kill themselves.

"Run."

I don't know who shouted, one person began to run away, several people followed, more than a dozen people followed, dozens of people followed by hundreds, and finally it turned into a rout.

Lu Chen: "Rush!" You can't let an enemy go! ”

By this time, the First Legion of the Xia Kingdom had been able to make a final judgment on the war of the Jianmu Tribe, and the First Legion of the Xia Kingdom had completely defeated the Jianmu Tribe.

It was an easy battle, the first legion of the Xia Kingdom killed dozens of enemies, captured more than 1,300 people, harvested a batch of animal skins and grain, and almost did not suffer much damage itself.

The first battle started by the First Legion of the Xia Kingdom was successfully completed, and the First Trade Fleet needed to transport the prisoners and booty back to the Xia Kingdom, and the second battle was to be started by the Second Legion of the Xia Kingdom, and the Second Legion was still on the way.

The generation difference of leather armor, copper shield, strong bow, and weapons makes the Xia army invincible.

When the first army and the second army of the Xia Kingdom were fighting abroad, the cities of the Xia Kingdom were boiling because of the expansion of the cavalry troops, and all adult male nationals who wanted to become cavalry went to the military department of the city where they lived to sign up, and the registration time was only three days.

Before the registration was opened, many adult male nationals made the decision to sign up for the cavalry selection, and after the registration opened, some people gritted their teeth and decided to try.

This year, the Xia Kingdom is fighting abroad, and the field/war army and the city defense army are places where they can make meritorious contributions, but they are not part of the field/war army or the city defense army, and the foreign war is only carried out this year, and I don't know when the next time it will be carried out.

Changed to cavalry, there are a large number of cattle, horses and sheep in the grassland, the grassland is the next key development direction of the Xia Kingdom, and when the cavalry reaches a certain scale, it will continue to go deep into the grassland to conquer the nomadic tribes in the grassland, as long as you become a cavalry, there will definitely be no lack of opportunities for meritorious service.

"I'm going to be a cavalryman." The man said to his wife.

"I've got your back." The wife wholeheartedly supported her husband's decision.

For a while, some of the soldiers in the cities of Xia Kingdom lined up, all of them came to sign up to participate in the cavalry selection, of course, not all of them can sign up at any time, everyone has to do all kinds of work during the day, but there is not much time to sign up, mainly in the morning or evening.

Three days later, the registration ended, and the number of cavalry troops was expanded to only three teams of less than 280 people, and finally a total of 300 places were selected, and only 10 people could be selected on average to each city, but the number of adult male nationals who signed up to participate in the cavalry selection exceeded 7,000, and only one of the more than 20 people could stand out and go to the city to become a member of the cavalry unit.

The cavalry selection of each city began, the selection method is similar to the last time, horsemanship, cavalry shooting, riding and chopping three, divided equally by the teachers of the academy, and finally from the highest score to the bottom of the row, the top ten people in each city become reserve cavalry, the number of places in the capital is more, a total of thirty.

In the end, 300 reserve cavalry selected from the cities of Xia went to the city for training, and after the training, only those who passed could be regularized, and those who did not pass would be eliminated, and the cavalry unit was expanded into three teams, with a total of 282 places.

If there is no poor performance, it is also possible not to eliminate people, and there is no problem with the establishment of a few more cavalry troops.

Three days later, the cavalry selection for each city was over, and three hundred reserve cavalry were selected, of which nearly half were male nationals who had just reached adulthood this year, and the remaining half were also occupied by male nationals under the age of twenty.

There was no surprise in this result, most of the male nationals who had just come of age to become the reserve cavalry had graduated from the War College, a senior academy, and they had taken various courses about cavalry when they were at the War College.

Almost the older you are, the lower your assessment scores, and the younger you are, the easier it is to get high scores, and the older ones slowly become unfamiliar with the skills of the cavalry because they graduate from the war college, but the students who have just graduated are not very unfamiliar.

After the selection, the 300 reserve cavalry were given a few days to prepare, and then the five A-type boats of the transport department carried the 300 reserve cavalry to the city.

"You will have a three-month training here, and at the end of the training, those who pass will officially become cavalrymen, and those who are not qualified will go back to where they come from, now follow me to choose the war horses that will accompany you for the next three months or more, two horses each." Mu Shi said to the three hundred reserve cavalry in front of him.

It is also thanks to the destruction of the Wind Tribe last autumn that the Xia Kingdom obtained a large number of horses, if it was not for that time, even if the cavalry unit would be expanded, at most it would be two teams, and each cavalry would still only have one war horse.

A cavalry has only one war horse, which is too much for the nomadic tribe to be equipped with three horses per person, and with only one horse, the cavalry troops of the Xia Kingdom cannot effectively pursue the fleeing enemy.

At present, each cavalry unit is equipped with two war horses, and when the cavalry unit completes the expansion, it is enough for the cavalry unit to have the strength to conquer the steppe and destroy the nomadic tribes.

Under the leadership of Mu Shi, three hundred reserve cavalry happily selected war horses in the horse herd, and then tamed the war horse, if there are multiple reserve cavalry fancy the same war horse, can only turn around and choose the master by the war horse, everyone holds a handful of war horse favorite food, war horse to eat whose hand of the food, war horse will belong to whom.

After the selection of war horses, Mu Shi arranged for the captain, deputy captain, tun chief, deputy tun chief, and even chief of the cavalry unit to train 300 reserve cavalry, and the rest of the cavalry unit had to carry out the task of grazing every day, but fortunately, the cattle and horses had been transferred to other cities in the Xia Kingdom in batches, and the grazing tasks of the cavalry were slowly reduced, and there was more time for training.

On the other side, the first foreign conquest of the First Legion and the Second Legion of the Xia Kingdom ended one after another, and the Jianmu Tribe, the target of the First Legion, did not move, and was easily destroyed by the First Legion, and a large number of prisoners were transported back to the Xia State.

There were some accidents in the target of the Second Legion, the Flying Squirrel Tribe had moved, and the Second Legion had to move to the next tribe with a target population almost the same as the Flying Squirrel Tribe, but fortunately, this tribe did not move, and was wiped out by the Second Legion with a little effort, and returned with more than a thousand prisoners.

There are really tribes who choose to move under the threat of war in the Xia Kingdom, and the leaders and high-level leaders of the tribes who can make the choice to move are not ordinary, giving up their homes that have been operating for decades or even hundreds of years and moving to a new home, this is not a decision that can be made at will, the tribe is likely to die out because of this move, and at the same time, the Xia Kingdom has lost thousands of people.

There has already been a tribe that has moved, and I don't know how many of the remaining eight tribes choose to move, this matter is not something that Xia Guo can decide.

The two fleets and the two legions that have returned will have a few days of rest and will soon be on their next campaign, and it seems that the task of conquering eleven tribes this year is not to be worried.

In the study room of the palace in Zhongjing City, Su Yan put down the battle reports of the First Legion and the Second Legion, and turned to think about another matter, which was something that Su Yan had left out.

At present, the clothes worn by the people of Xia are mainly made of linen and animal skins, and the silk is still a little far away from the Xia Kingdom, Su Yan does not know how to raise cicadas, perhaps there are people in the distant tribes who know how to raise cicadas and weave silk, waiting for the Xia Kingdom to conquer them in the future, and then obtain the technology.

For Xia Guo, Xia Guo's textile linen technology has developed to a certain extent, and delicate linen is even better than primary silk, and silk is not an indispensable thing for Xia Guo.

And what Su Yan missed is related to clothes, the material comes from the wool on the sheep, wool, wool sweaters, wool pants, under the same weight, woolen sweaters and wool pants are warmer than cotton clothes and cotton pants.

In winter, when the weather is cold, you can wear a cardigan and woolen pants inside, a linen coat outside, and a fur coat if you go out.

The most important thing is that the time of knitting woolen sweaters and wool pants can be staggered with the time of weaving linen, and weaving linen requires the use of a textile machine, and the doors and windows cannot be opened in winter, and there is not much light, so there is no way to weave linen.

Knitting wool sweaters and wool pants is different, only a few long needles and wool threads are needed, and there is not much light in the house in winter, so you can choose to do it next to the stove, and the loom is relatively large, and there is no way to do it next to the stove.

Spring, summer and autumn textile linen, winter knitted cardigan and wool pants, just to separate the time, only one point, this winter knitted wool sweater wool pants will not be used until the next winter.

Su Yan still remembers what happened when she was a child in her previous life, her mother knitted a sweater with a needle and wool, and watched by herself, although she had not tried it herself, now she should be able to restore the steps after a few attempts, and it is not difficult to knit woolen sweaters and wool pants.

The first thing to do is to reduce the wool, and the second thing is to try to knit the wool sweater and wool pants.

Sheep shearing needs to pay attention to the wool is very important for the sheep itself, can help the sheep resist the cold, you need to pay attention to the time to reduce the wool, it is best to reduce the wool when the weather is warm in the spring, not in the winter or a period of time before the winter to reduce the wool, the sheep is likely to freeze to death in the winter.

It was a good season for sheep shearing, Su Yan directly explained the matter of sheep shearing to the city lord of Zhongjing City, Snake Jian, and Snake Jian ordered the whole city, many people in Zhongjing City raised sheep, mainly sheep, and some goats, and then the order to shear sheep will be transmitted to all cities in Xia Kingdom.

Since the completion of Zhongjing City, Snake Jian has been serving as the lord of Zhongjing City, and in another two years, Su Yan is ready to let Snake Jian serve as the head of the household department.

The king's order was conveyed, and the families who raised the sheep took out scissors to reduce the wool on their sheep, took the sacks and sent them to the household, Su Yan came to accept the wool, and the wool that was reduced could not be directly used to knit woolen sweaters and wool pants.

Just like the hemp fiber separated from hemp skin, it has to go through a series of steps and finally become hemp before it can be used to weave linen, and the same is true for wool, after a similar step, it becomes wool before it can be used to knit woolen sweaters and wool pants.

is about to enter the spring ploughing season, in the back court of the palace, Su Yan took a few rod needles (knitting needles) with a length of one foot and two slightly pointed ends and a ball of wool to try to knit a woolen sweater, the rod needles are cut from bamboo, and they can also be cast with metal, but the metal rod needles are slightly heavy and the casting is slightly more troublesome, so Su Yan chose to cut them from bamboo.

Picking up two rods and needles, and pulling out the wool thread, Su Yan recalled the picture of her mother knitting sweaters in her previous life, trying little by little, hooking, picking, and coming again, trying for more than ten minutes, Su Yan determined all the steps, and was able to officially start knitting woolen sweaters and wool pants according to this step.

However, Su Yan did not continue, knitting woolen sweaters and wool pants is a waste of time, as the king of the Xia Kingdom, Su Yan can not waste time on this, the best way is to hand over the knitting steps to the women in the palace, and they will learn to try to knit woolen sweaters and wool pants, and then teach other women, and even go to the school to teach female students knitting techniques.

The most suitable thing to do this should be the plum blossom, but the plum blossom is about to give birth, Su Yan can only hand over this matter to Eyue, and then choose one person from Ping He'an's wife, and the three of them will try knitting woolen sweaters together.

One thing to note is that there are so many children in the palace, and the three women need to stay away from the children when knitting woolen sweaters to prevent harm to the children.
