Chapter 12 Struggle (Additional update for alliance leader JiǒngJiǒng Mu Zuolang)
(I looked at it and there are four more league leaders today. Thank you for your support from readers. I originally planned to add more money tomorrow, but I owe 6 more league leaders to add more money. Let’s pay the first update first, and the remaining five updates will start to pay it slowly tomorrow. Thank you again.)
"Crash!" The leaves of Jia are clattering, which makes people pleasing to the eye.
"It's not bad." Shao Xun looked at the iron armor on his body and smiled with satisfaction.
This is a collar sleeve armor, the most popular iron armor here.
It appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang improved his craft during the Three Kingdoms: "The departments of the Ministry were ordered to make five-fold armor and ten-fold spears to give them."
We all know that it was difficult to keep technology confidential in ancient times. Therefore, the Zhuge Huo-sleeved Armor, which was more sophisticated than the original version, was quickly spread and became popular during the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties.
Until the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhuge's sleeve armor was still regarded as a treasure.
From later generations, it can be seen that this iron armor is fish-scale, with a chest and a back together, with sleeves downward from the shoulders, and cuffs above the elbows.
In addition to the squid sleeve armor, there is also a squid sleeve armor made of leather, which is in the shape of a tortoise back as a whole - so, when it comes to "armor soldiers" in books, they do not necessarily wear iron armor, but may also wear other protective gear such as leather armor. Armor and armor are not completely equivalent.
Shao Xun was very satisfied with the squid armour on his body, but he always felt that he was missing something.
He remembered several things he received yesterday.
A big red military uniform was specially listed by him and finally made by craftsmen in the manor.
The military uniform is called "a red head, boots, knife left, right miscellaneous, bow and garment, arrow and arrow into the room".
Simply put, the sword on the left side of the military uniform is placed with an arrow pouch and a bow tip on the right, and a "Jiangpa" tied to the forehead (red forehead, original version of the Japanese "menstrual belt" in red), and a slinger on the lower body is wearing a sabre and boots on the feet. It is very practical. After wearing it, it looks like a general and a governor of the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
The Wei and Jin armies had independent "bow camps" and "bow camps". They did not specifically design combat uniforms suitable for archers and crossbow soldiers. In the Tang Dynasty, all soldiers were required to shoot archers, all soldiers participated in melee battles, and all members had to use long and short weapons. Therefore, the design of military uniforms was relatively complicated. The standard weapon that everyone had to carry was a top priority. In the Tang Dynasty, especially after the middle and late Tang Dynasty, there was no special bow camp in the army, because in theory, everyone was an archer.
Who knows why Shao Xun is so familiar with the slutty man, but he has been thinking about it for a long time but hasn't remembered the reason.
But this kind of combat uniform is really easy to use. Draw the knife on the left, pick up the tip of the bow on the right and turn it on, calibrate it, and then pick up the bow and arrow. There is also a place to tie a small round shield on the left arm. You can also insert a long sword and heavy sword on the back. When you are not using a step bow, you usually have a long spear in your right hand. If you think the spear is too light, you can specially make a step spear, and you can knock it when you are in combat and sweep the enemy's spear.
In short, it is very convenient, and it feels like arming the teeth.
"The team leader put on iron armor, he is indeed heroic." Shi Chang Huang Biao smiled so hard that he couldn't stop, stood beside him arrogantly, swept the other teams with a provocative look, and said.
The people he swept by, bowed their heads one after another.
Shao Xun also glanced at him.
These soldiers were too docile, and probably their superiors deducted their food and salary and did not dare to resist.
This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. In today's chaos, the disadvantages are more obvious.
A war is courage.
The soldiers are not energetic and still expect them to explode?
Facing the enemy's sharp blade, do you dare to strip your armor, go barefoot and charge?
There were five hundred people in the building, and he could not see anyone who dared to do so.
Difficult to do.
"The Master of the Banner is here." Someone suddenly shouted.
A carriage drove in the distance and soon stopped in front of the formation.
The owner of the pagoda, Mi Huang, rushed from which party place, and actually looked like a tall crown and a broad belt.
The breeze blows gently, the clothes flutter, and the feet are wearing wooden clogs, and the demeanor is extraordinary.
It's just this taste, it's too volatile.
Some people like it very much and think that this is the style that scholars and officials should have. They stand by the wind, their clothes are fluttering, unrestrained, and gentle as jade. They stand with their hands behind their backs, and they are completely different. When they are tapped on the wooden clogs, the stubborn enemy will suddenly break.
You must feel like you are not in the world and the masts and oars are gone while chatting and laughing!
Some people also dislike it very much. Military governance is a systematic and scientific project. It requires tedious and meticulous work and a lot of effort. You even need to eat and live with the soldiers and be smelly.
When we go to war, we are exposed to the sun and rain, and we are lying on ice and eating snow.
When the victory is decided, I toss and turn, and can't sleep at night.
It is normal to have stomach problems when you accidentally have a meal.
It is normal for your hands to crack in winter and pus flow. Isn’t it true that you are “the cold clothes of the guardian’s iron clothes are hard to keep”?
The skin was polished dark and rough by the wind and sand, which was even more inevitable. After all, when "the army was marching in the middle of the night", "the limelight was like a knife and a cut."
As for the scars on the body, it is impossible to avoid them if you go into battle.
Mi Huang's appearance is really speechless and quite unprofessional. But to say something sad, there are too many people like him at this time - it is not that there are no noble families who are willing to calm down and do things down-to-earth, but there are really few.
It’s so fucking unearthable.
There was another person behind Mi Huang, who was the head of the Sikong Mansion who had been to before.
I saw him with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept around, and then he took it back after a moment, obviously not interested.
Mi Huang was like a follower in front of him, and said a few words with a smile on his face, but he couldn't hear it from afar.
Director Wang patiently listened to it for a while, then waved his hand and stopped talking.
Mi Huang didn't care and came to the front of the formation with wooden clogs.
The team of more than 500 people has been assembled, including a hundred newly sent recruits a few days ago.
Mi Huang's eyes stayed at them for a while. After all, he sent people to him, and they were all strong and capable of volunteering to serve in the army, and their qualities were much better than those of others.
Whether or not you are voluntarily joining the army is too big.
In the past, Ma Long selected soldiers who were expeditioning to Liangzhou in Luoyang and set strict assessment standards, including physical fitness, strength, archery, martial arts, will and other factors. The comprehensive selection resulted in 3,500 people.
These 3,500 people volunteered to join the army and wanted to fight for wealth. Therefore, they were resistant to hardships, had high morale, and had strong psychological quality. They were surrounded by Hu cavalry and cut off the news from the rear, and they could still maintain the formation of chariots. They traveled more than a thousand miles away and killed Hu cavalry in large numbers, successfully broke through the encirclement and arrived in Liangzhou.
If the farming and fighting troops were recruited, they would not be able to do this level when they were completely encircled. They would easily panic and eventually be wiped out - using infantry to deal with cavalry, infantry not to panic and fight calmly is the most basic requirement, but unfortunately more than 90% of infantry could not do it.
"The Wei Wubu Fighting Order says, 'If there is someone who fails to advance in the army, the rank commander will kill him; if there is someone who fails to advance, the rank commander will kill him; if there is someone who fails to advance, the rank commander will kill him.' Because of this, the rank commander will have a training department, which is the right-hand man of the banner." Mi Huang cleared his throat and said, "I am busy with affairs and cannot handle military affairs personally. It is short and fashionable, but it is not appropriate for a long time. Therefore, the emperor reported to the king and allowed the two men of the governor to be allowed to be added..."
The Dubo, also known as the "Dubo Chief". This non-standard position is to some extent more like the Supervisor within a building, with great power and responsibility. In the Jin Dynasty, the Dubo Chief began to show signs of permanent establishment. Some Supervisors managed a 100-man team, while others managed two hundred people.
Among the five hundred people in a building, the number of Bo Chang has also begun to become unfixed. It is usually one member, but it is not uncommon for two or three members. If you develop further, you will likely become a first-level permanent position between the team leader and the main owner.
Mi Huang originally only asked to set up a member of the governor. After hearing about it, Wang Dao, who joined the army, thought it was inappropriate and should add another member to the point of restraint.
Sima Yue was not very concerned about this soldier, but he would not give up the face of the king, so he agreed.
The two men, each in charge of half of them, supervise each other and compete with each other, which is so good.
"The soldiers in this banner have a chaotic number, and now there are 561 people, so they are organized into twelve teams." Mi Huang continued.
Simply put, the first, second, third teams are mostly children and young people, with a full staff, with a little more than the staff; the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh teams are the elderly, originally full, but now there are more than twenty people missing; the eighty, ninety, and ninety are also not satisfied; the eleventh and twelve two teams are new recruits, with relatively good quality and full staff.
"The team leader Yang Bao, Xiang has a loyal and righteous heart and is the governor."
"The team leader Shao Xun, who has outstanding martial arts skills and good leadership, is also the governor."
Mi Huang quickly finished pronunciating the names of the two people, and then looked at Director Wang.
Director Wang cleared his throat, stepped forward and said a few words.
Mi Huang looked embarrassed and whispered: "Yang Bao is a man with limited ability, so I'm afraid he can't lead the soldiers. Wang Chanjun is too proud of him."
Director Wang frowned, seemingly unhappy.
He has seen both of them.
Yang Bao did not leave a deep impression on him. He was a timid martial artist. He had no idea how to be so smart that he had such a little martial arts and the ability to lead troops. He had seen so many such people.
Shao Xun was a little confused. Although he was not short of etiquette, he gave him a very bad feeling. At first, he didn't understand it, but after he went back, he realized that he was unwilling to be humble to him, without flattery, and did not put himself in a position of lowly person.
Wang Dao was born in the Wang family of Langya and was one of the most famous gentry in the north. In daily life, he had long been accustomed to the small surnames, and the Hansu family's flattery for him, and even more accustomed to the attitude of admiration and inferiority when ordinary people saw him.
It is true that Shao Xun had no problem with etiquette. But what about etiquette? He did not express his admiration or "extraordinary" style. In Wang Dao's opinion, this was rebellious and he didn't like it very much.
This is a subtle emotion that cannot be spoken to outsiders, but it does exist.
Therefore, when it comes to the issue of the Dubo, he suggested adding one more member to suppress each other. When discussing the scope of the two Dubos, he intervened again, intending to let Shao Xun be in charge of a group of old, weak and disabled soldiers.
These were just trivial matters for him, and he just did it casually. But he knew that for ordinary people like Shao Xun, they often determine their destiny - a grain of sand on the upper level, falling to the bottom level may be a mountain, which is unbearable.
"Wang joined the army..." Mi Huang thought for a moment and said carefully: "In fact, many troops are not worth fighting now, and may be punished. For example, those old men were ordered to return home during the reign of Emperor Wu. Now it is the time to use people, but they cannot do so. It is better to let them farm in the fortress, warn the thieves, no longer participate in training, and release them to their hometown next year. This is also a matter of accumulation of virtue. How about young children, general dishes?"
Director Wang was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Mi Dugu is a little anxious."
Mi Huang's heart suddenly broke out and felt that Director Wang was sarcastic in his words, but after thinking of Concubine Pei's promise, he gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that Wang Zongjun and Wang Rui of Langya..."
When Wang Dao heard this, his eyes were condensed, he sneered twice, then shook his sleeves, and said, "I have something to do, so take one step ahead. For the matter here, Mi Dugu can decide for himself."
The Langya Wang family has a close relationship with the Langya Wang family and has married many times.
In this generation, Sima Rui and Wang Dao were even more familiar with each other. However, Sima Rui’s camp is unknown now. His uncle Sima Yao and even belong to Sima Ying’s camp in Yecheng, while Wang Dao’s main company Ma Yue belongs to the camp of King Sima Yi of Changsha.
Sima Ying and Sima Yi seem to be quite harmonious and have a happy cooperation, but in fact they have a bad relationship. Sooner or later, they will fight. Sima Yi deliberately wins over the Imperial Guards in order to make a comeback in the future.
Mi Huang said things at this time and had offended Wang Dao. As for his own heart, he was actually a little frightened. The mountain of Wang family in Langya made his heart heavy.
However, what else can I do if someone has offended him?
Thinking of this, he made a decision: hand over the newly recruited 100 soldiers to Shao Xun, and the rest should be slashed.
Life is about making choices and trade-offs, that's it.
