Chapter 12: The Struggle (to the Alliance Leader Embarrassment Ki Saro)
(I took a look, there are four more alliance leaders today, thank you readers for your support.) I was going to add more arrears tomorrow, but this will already be owed 6 times to the alliance leader, let's pay one more first, and the remaining five will start to pay it slowly tomorrow. Thanks again. )
"Whoa!" The nail leaves are sonorous, and it is pleasing to the eye.
"Not bad." Shao Xun looked at the iron armor on his body and smiled with satisfaction.
This is a collared cuff armor, which is the most popular iron armor of this association.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang had improved its process during the Three Kingdoms: "The Ministry of Edict is made of five-fold rigid armor and ten-fold spears to give it." ”
We all know that in ancient times it was difficult to keep technology secret. As a result, the Zhuge Sleeve Armor, which was more sophisticated than the original, soon spread out and became popular in the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasty.
Until the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhuge sleeve armor was still regarded as a treasure.
It can be seen from the excavated materials of later generations that this iron armor is in the shape of fish scales, the chest and back are intertwined, there are sleeves from the shoulders downwards, and the cuffs are closed above the elbows.
In addition to the cuff armor, there is also a kind of cuff armor made of leather, which is in the shape of a turtle's back - therefore, when the "armor" is mentioned in the general book, he is not necessarily wearing iron armor, but may also be wearing other protective gear such as leather armor, and armor and armor are not exactly the same.
Shao Xun was very satisfied with the sleeve armor on his body, but he always felt that there were still shortcomings.
He remembered a few things he had received yesterday.
A bright red military uniform, which he deliberately listed the styles and finally made by the craftsmen in the manor.
The name of the military costume is 櫜鞬 (gāo jiàn), "red head, boot hakama, holding the knife left and right miscellaneous, bow and bow, arrow insertion room".
To put it simply, the saber on the left side of the uniform, the place on the right side to hold the quiver and the bow tip, and then with the "silk pa" tied to the forehead (red wipe forehead, the original version of the Japanese army's "menstrual belt", red), the lower body wears a hakama slave, foot boots, very practical, and after wearing it, it is a pair of mid-to-late Tang generals, and the shape of the festival envoy.
The Wei and Jin armies had independent "bow battalions" and "crossbow battalions", and they did not specifically design combat uniforms suitable for archers and crossbowmen. The Tang Dynasty required all sergeants to be able to shoot arrows, all to participate in melee combat, and all to be able to use long and short weapons, so the design of the uniform was more complicated, and the bow, a standard weapon that everyone had to carry, was the top priority - in the Tang Dynasty, especially after the middle and late Tang Dynasty, there was no special bow battalion in the army, because in theory everyone was an archer.
The ghost knows how Shao Xun is so familiar with the skull, anyway, he didn't think about it for a long time and didn't remember the reason.
But this kind of combat uniform is really easy to use, the left side draws the knife, the right side picks up the bow tip on the winding, calibration, and then the bow and arrow, the left arm also has a special place to tie a small round shield, and the back can also be inserted into a long knife, heavy sword, when not using the foot bow, the right hand is generally still holding a spear - if the spear is too light, you can specially make a rifle, you can knock and sweep the enemy's spear when engaged.
All in all very convenient, armed to the tooth feeling.
"The team leader put on the iron armor, and he was really heroic." Shi Chang Huang Biao smiled from ear to ear, stood beside him proudly, swept the other teams with provocative eyes, and said.
Those who were swept by him bowed their heads one after another.
Shao Xun also glanced at it.
These soldiers are too docile, probably their superiors withhold their salaries, and they don't dare to resist.
This is both an advantage and a disadvantage, and the disadvantages are more obvious in the case of today's chaos.
Husband war, courage also.
The soldiers have no heart, and they still expect them to explode?
In the face of the enemy's blade, do you dare to strip off your armor, go into battle shirtless, and charge with flesh?
There were 500 people in the building, and he didn't see anyone dare to do that.
It's hard.
"The lord of the building is here." Suddenly, someone shouted.
In the distance, a carriage drove up, and soon stopped in front of the formation.
Mi Huang, the owner of the building, didn't know which meeting place he came from in a hurry, and he actually dressed up as a crown and a belt.
The breeze is light, the clothes are fluttering, the feet are on the clogs, and the bearing is extraordinary.
It's just this smell, it's too rushed.
Some people like it very much, thinking that this is the style that a scholar should have, standing by the wind, fluttering clothes, chic and uninhibited, warm as jade. Standing with his hands in his hands, he has no last resort, and in the clogs tapping, the stubborn enemy is broken.
There must be a feeling of not eating the fireworks in the world, and talking and laughing between the ashes!
There are also people who don't like it very much. Administering the army is a systematic and scientific project, which requires tedious and meticulous work, requires a lot of painstaking efforts, and even requires you to eat and live with the soldiers, and you are covered in a stinking body.
When he set out on the expedition, he was exposed to the sun and rain, lying on the ice and eating snow.
When the victory is made, tossing and turning, I can't sleep at night.
It's normal to have stomach problems by mistake.
It's normal to freeze your hands and bleed pus in winter, don't you hear that "it's hard to protect the iron clothes"?
The skin is darkened and rough by the wind and sand, and it is even more unavoidable, after all, when "the army marches in the middle of the night", "the limelight is like a knife".
As for the scars on the body, it is impossible to avoid them whenever they go into battle.
Mi Huang's appearance is really speechless and quite unprofessional. But to put it sadly, there are too many people like him at this time - it's not that there are no families who are willing to calm down and do things in a down-to-earth manner, but there are really very few.
Talking about it, it's too special to be down-to-earth.
There is another person behind Mi Huang, who is the director of the army in Sikong Mansion who came before.
I saw him holding his hands behind his back, his eyes glancing around, and after a while, he took it back, obviously not interested.
Mi dangled in front of him, like an entourage, and said a few words with a smile on his face, which was far from real.
Director Wang listened patiently, then waved his hand and said nothing.
Mi Huang didn't care, and stepped on the clogs to come to the front of the formation.
A team of more than 500 people has been assembled, including the 100 recruits who were newly sent a few days ago.
Mi Huang's gaze lingered on them for a while, after all, he sent people, and they were all strong people who volunteered to be soldiers, and their quality was much better than others.
Whether you volunteer to be a soldier or not, the difference is too big.
In the past, Ma Long recruited soldiers for the expedition to Liangzhou in Luoyang, and set strict assessment standards, including physique, strength, archery, martial arts, will and other factors, and comprehensively selected 3,500 people.
These 3,500 people volunteered to join the army, wanting to fight for wealth and nobility, so they endured hard fighting, high morale, strong psychological quality, surrounded by Hu cavalry, and cut off from the rear, they were still able to maintain the car formation, traveled more than 1,000 miles, killed and injured a large number of Hu cavalry, successfully broke through the encirclement, and arrived in Liangzhou.
If it is a conscripted army, it will not be able to do this to this extent when the rear road is cut off and completely encircled. They are easily flustered, and eventually the whole army is annihilated - infantry against cavalry, infantry does not panic, calm fighting, is the most basic requirement, but unfortunately more than ninety percent of the infantry can not do it.
""Wei Wubu Battle Order" cloud 'If there is one in the army who does not advance, the commander of the army will kill him; If there is a person who does not enter, even the chief will kill him; If there is anyone who does not enter, the governor will kill him. Because of this, the emperor has a governor's training department, which is the right-hand man of the lord. Mi Huang cleared his throat and said, "I'm busy with affairs and can't take care of military affairs personally." It is not appropriate to be short in time, but it is not appropriate for a long time, so the king must allow the addition of two governors......"
Uncle Governor, also known as "Uncle Inspector". This non-standard position, to some extent, is more like a war supervisor within a building, with a lot of power and responsibility. In the Jin Dynasty, the elders began to appear as permanent signs, and some governors managed a team of 100 people, and some managed 200 people.
Among the 500 people in a building, the number of uncles has also begun to become unfixed, generally one member, but it is not uncommon for two or three members to develop, and further down, it is likely to become a first-level permanent position between the team owner and the building owner.
Mi Huang originally only asked for one member of the governor, but after Wang Dao, who joined the army, heard about it, he thought it was inappropriate, and he should add another member to restrain him.
Sima Yue didn't care much about this soldier, but he wouldn't save Wang Dao's face, so he agreed.
It is very good that two governors, each in charge of half of the men, oversee each other and compete with each other.
"The number of soldiers in this building is chaotic, and there are five hundred and sixty-one people today, so they are organized into twelve teams." Mi Huang continued.
To put it simply, the 123rd team is mostly children and teenagers, and the personnel are full and slightly exceeded; The four, five, six, and seven teams are elderly, which were originally full, but now there are more than 20 people missing; Eighty or ninety teams are strong, and they are also dissatisfied with the formation; The 11th and 12th teams are new recruits, and their quality is relatively good, and they are in a state of full strength.
"Yang Bao, the leader of the team, has a loyal heart and is promoted to be the governor."
"The leader of the team, Shao Xun, has outstanding martial arts, leads the troops well, and is also promoted to the governor."
Mi Huang quickly read the names of the two people, and then glanced at Director Wang.
Director Wang cleared his throat and stepped forward to say a few words in his ear.
Mi Huang looked embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Yang Bao is a person with limited ability, I'm afraid he can't lead a soldier." Wang joined the army and exalted him too much. ”
Director Wang frowned, looking displeased.
He'd seen both.
Yang Bao didn't leave a deep impression on him, he was only a martial artist, and he had so much martial arts and the ability to lead troops, which was not very clever. He has seen a lot of such people.
Shao Xun is a little unable to see through it. Although there is no shortage of etiquette, the whole person gives him a very bad feeling. At first, he didn't figure it out, but after he went back, he pondered it and reacted: he didn't want to be inferior to him, he didn't flatter him, and he didn't put himself in the position of a lowly and inferior person.
Wang Ying, who was born in the Langya Wang clan, is the most famous group of scholars in the north. In daily life, he has long been accustomed to the stammering of his surname and Han Sumendi, and he is even more accustomed to the admiration and inferiority attitude of ordinary people when they see him.
Admittedly, Shao Xun did not have any problems with etiquette. But what about outside of etiquette? He didn't have an extra or "redundant" knot to express his admiration, in Director Wang's opinion, this was unruly, which made him not like it very much.
It's a subtle emotion that can't be said to outsiders, but it's there.
Therefore, when it came to the question of the governor, he suggested that there should be an additional member to check each other. When discussing the scope of the two governors, he intervened again, intending to put Shao Xun in charge of a group of old and weak soldiers.
These are just trivial things for him, and they are just done casually. But he knows that for ordinary people like Shao Xun, fate is often determined - a grain of sand at the top, falling to the bottom, may be a mountain, which is unbearable.
"Wang joins the army......" Mi Huang thought for a moment, and then considered: "Actually, many Shiwu are not worthy of war now, or they can be cut and merged. For example, those old people, Emperor Wu ordered them to return home. Now is the time to employ people, but can not do this, it is better to make him in the dock fort tuntian, guard against thieves, no longer participate in the training, and return to his hometown next year, which is also a matter of accumulating virtue. How about general cooking for young children? ”
Director Wang was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Mi Du Hu is a little anxious. ”
Mi Huang's heart suddenly felt that Director Wang's speech was yin and yang, but after remembering Concubine Pei's promise, he said stubbornly: "I heard that Wang joined the army and Langya Wang Rui are incompatible......"
When Director Wang heard this, his eyes froze, and after sneering twice, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and said: "I still have something to do, take the first step, and the matter here can be self-determined." ”
The Langya Wang family has a close relationship with the Langya Wang family and has been married many times.
In this generation, Sima Rui and Wang Dao himself are close friends. But Sima Rui's camp is unknown now, his uncle Sima Yi is even from the camp of Sima Ying in Yecheng, and Ma Yue, the main company of Wang Dao, is from the camp of Sima Yi, the king of Changsha.
Sima Ying and Sima Yi seem to be quite harmonious and cooperate happily at present, but in fact, the relationship is not harmonious, and sooner or later they will have to fight - Sima Yi deliberately won over the Praetorian Guards, just to prepare for turning his face in the future.
Mi Huang opened his words at this time, and he had already offended Director Wang. As far as the heart is concerned, it's actually a little scary. The mountain of Langya Wang's family weighed heavily on his heart.
However, what else can people do if they have already been offended?
Thinking of this, he made a decision: to hand over the newly recruited 100 recruits to Shao Xun Guan, and the others should be cut and merged.
Life is all about making trade-offs, that's all.
