(After taking a look, there are four more alliance leaders today. Thank you readers for your support. I originally planned to add more debts tomorrow, but I already owe 6 alliance leader updates. Let’s pay one update first. The remaining five updates will be tomorrow.
Start paying it back slowly. Thanks again.)
"Clatter!" The leaves of the armor made a clanging sound, which was pleasing to the eyes and ears.
"Not bad." Shao Xun looked at the iron armor on his body and smiled with satisfaction.
This is a collared sleeve armor, which is the most popular iron armor in this society.
It appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang improved its craftsmanship: "The imperial production department all made fifty-fold steel armor and ten-fold spears."
We all know that it was difficult to keep technology secret in ancient times. Therefore, Zhuge Xun's sleeve armor, which was more sophisticated than the original version, quickly spread and became popular in the Three Kingdoms and Two Jin Dynasties.
Until the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty, Zhuge Xun's sleeve armor was still regarded as a treasure.
From the data unearthed in later generations, it can be seen that this iron armor is in the shape of fish scales, with the chest and back connected together. There are sleeves from the shoulders downward, and the cuffs are closed above the elbows.
In addition to the Sleeve Armor, there is also a Sleeve Armor made of leather, which is in the shape of a turtle's back - so when "armored soldiers" are generally mentioned in books, they do not necessarily wear iron armor, but may also wear leather armor.
As with other protective gear, armor and armor are not exactly the same.
Shao Xun was very satisfied with the sleeve armor he wore, but he always felt that there was something missing.
He thought of several things he received yesterday.
A bright red military uniform, he specifically listed the style and was finally made by the craftsmen in the manor.
The name of the military uniform is gāo jiàn, which means "red headband, hakama boots, holding a sword on the left and right, a bow and a robe, and an arrow inserted into the room".
To put it simply, the military uniform has a sword on the left side, a place for holding quivers and bow tips on the right side, and a "red handkerchief" (red forehead, the original version of the Japanese army's "menstrual belt", red) tied to the forehead, and worn on the lower body
Hakama slaves, wearing boots, are very practical. After wearing them, they look like a general or Jiedushi of the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
The Wei and Jin armies had independent "Gong Camp" and "Crossbow Camp". They did not have specially designed combat uniforms suitable for archers and crossbowmen. In the Tang Dynasty, all sergeants were required to be able to shoot archery and participate in close combat. All soldiers were equipped with both long and short weapons.
Be able to use it
, so the design of military uniforms is more complicated, and the bow, a standard weapon that everyone must carry, is even more important. In the Tang Dynasty, especially after the middle and late Tang Dynasty, there were no specialized bow battalions in the army, because in theory everyone
They are all archers.
I don't know how Shao Xun became so familiar with the 櫜鞬 clothes. Anyway, he thought about it for a long time and couldn't remember the reason.
But this kind of combat uniform is really easy to use. You can draw the sword on the left side, pick up the bow tip on the right side, string it, calibrate it, and then pick up the bow and set an arrow. There is also a special place for tying a small buckler on the left arm, and you can also insert a small round shield on the back.
When not using a long sword, a heavy sword, or a walking bow, the right hand is usually holding a long spear. If the long gun is too light, you can make a specially made rifle. During battle, you can knock it and sweep the enemy's spear.
.
All in all, it is very convenient and feels like you are armed to the teeth.
"The team leader is really brave when he puts on the iron armor." Commander Huang Biao smiled from ear to ear, standing beside him arrogantly, scanning the other teams with provocative eyes and said.
The people he swept across bowed their heads one after another.
Shao Xun also glanced at it.
These soldiers were so docile that they probably didn't dare to resist when their superiors deducted their food and salary.
This has both advantages and disadvantages. In today's chaotic situation, the disadvantages are more obvious.
Fighting requires courage.
The soldiers have no spirit, how can you expect them to explode?
Facing the enemy's sharp edge, do you dare to take off your armor, go into battle shirtless, and charge naked?
There were five hundred people in the whole building, and he couldn't see anyone who dared to do this.
Difficult to do.
"The owner of the building is here." Someone suddenly shouted.
A carriage drove up in the distance and quickly stopped in front of the formation.
The owner of the building, Mi Huang, came in a hurry from who knows which gathering place, and he was dressed like E Guanbo.
The breeze is blowing gently, the clothes are fluttering, the feet are wearing wooden clogs, and the air is extraordinary.
That's the smell, it's too strong.
Some people like it very much and think that this is the style that a scholar-bureaucrat should have. He stands in the wind, his clothes are fluttering, he is unrestrained and uninhibited, and he is as gentle as jade. He stands with his hands behind his back, thinking of all his plans, and under the kick of his clogs, he defeats stubborn enemies.
You must have the feeling that you can't eat the fireworks of the world, and that the boats and oars are turned into ashes while talking and laughing!
Some people don't like it very much. Running the army is a systematic and scientific project. It requires tedious and meticulous work, a lot of effort, and even requires you to eat and live with the soldiers, making you smell bad.
During the expedition, we were exposed to the sun and rain, lying on the ice and eating snow.
During the decisive moment, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night.
It is normal to have stomach problems after missing a meal.
It's normal for your hands to be cracked and pus ooze from the cold in the winter. Don't you hear that "the iron armor of the Protector is hard to bear due to the cold"?
It is unavoidable that the skin is darkened and roughened by the wind and sand. After all, when "armies are fighting each other in the middle of the night", "the limelight is as sharp as a knife."
As for the scars on the body, it is impossible to avoid them whenever you go into battle.
Mi Huang's appearance is really speechless and quite unprofessional. But to be sad, there are too many people like him at this time - it's not that there are no family members who are willing to calm down and do things down-to-earth, but really
rare.
Just talking, it's so down to earth.
There is another person behind Mi Huang, Director Wang who joined the army in Sikong Mansion who had been here before.
I saw him clasping his hands behind his back, looking around, then looking back after a moment, obviously not interested.
Mi Huang stood in front of him like a follower. He smiled and said a few words, but it was hard to hear them clearly from a distance.
Director Wang listened patiently for a while, then waved his hand and said nothing.
Mi Huang didn't take it seriously and stepped on wooden clogs to the front of the battle.
A team of more than 500 people has been assembled, including 100 new recruits sent in the past few days.
Mi Huang's eyes lingered on them for a while. After all, they were sent by him, and they were all strong men who volunteered to serve as soldiers. Their quality was much better than the others.
Whether you volunteer to be a soldier or not makes a big difference.
In the past, Ma Long selected soldiers for the expedition to Liangzhou in Luoyang and set strict assessment standards, including physical fitness, strength, archery, martial arts, will and other factors. After comprehensive selection, 3,500 people were selected.
These 3,500 people joined the army voluntarily and wanted to gain wealth. Therefore, they fought hard, had high morale, and strong psychological quality. Even when they were surrounded by barbarian cavalry and cut off from the rear, they were still able to maintain their car formations and travel thousands of miles.
In the remaining days, they killed a large number of Hu Qi, successfully broke through the encirclement and arrived in Liangzhou.
If the soldiers were recruited for farming and fighting, they would not be able to do this if their retreat was cut off and they were completely surrounded. They would easily panic and eventually be wiped out - using infantry against cavalry, the infantry would not be able to do so.
To panic and fight calmly are the most basic requirements, but unfortunately more than 90% of the infantry cannot do this.
"The "Wei Wu Bu War Order" says, 'If there is a person in the army who does not advance, the commander of the army will kill him; if there is a commander of the army who does not advance, the commander will kill him; if there is a commander of the army who does not advance, the superintendent will kill him.' Therefore, the imperial dynasty
, so there is a supervisor who trains the troops and is the right-hand man of the building owner." Mi Huang cleared his throat and said: "I am busy with affairs and cannot take care of military affairs personally. It is okay for a short time, but it is not appropriate for a long time, so I report to the king,
With permission, two more supervisors will be added..."
Du Bo, also known as "War Supervisor Bo Chang". This non-standard position, to a certain extent, is more like a war supervisor within a building, with considerable powers and responsibilities. In the Jin Dynasty, signs of permanent Bo Chang began to appear.
, some supervisors are in charge of hundreds of people, and some are in charge of two hundred people.
In a building of 500 people, the number of bosses has begun to become irregular. It is usually one, but it is not uncommon to have two or three bosses. If the situation continues, there is a high probability that he will become the leader of the team or the leader of the building.
First-level permanent positions between.
Mi Huang originally only asked for one superintendent. After hearing about it, Wang Dao, who joined the army, thought it was inappropriate and should add another superintendent to restrain him.
Sima Yue didn't care much about the soldiers, but he wouldn't offend Director Wang, so he agreed.
Two supervisors, each in charge of half of the people, supervise each other and compete with each other. This is very good.
"The number of soldiers in this building is mixed. There are currently 561 people, so they are organized into twelve teams." Mi Huang continued.
To put it simply, the 1st, 23rd and 3rd teams are mostly children and teenagers, and are fully staffed, but slightly exceeded; the 4567th team is for the elderly, and was originally full, but now is short of more than 20 people; the 80th and 90th teams are strong and strong, and the same
Not satisfied with the number; the 11th and 12th teams are newly recruited soldiers with relatively good quality and are at full strength.
"The leader of the team, Yang Bao, has always been loyal and loyal, so he was promoted to the position of superintendent."
"The leader of the team, Shao Xun, has outstanding martial arts skills and is able to lead troops well. He is also promoted to be the governor."
Mi Huang quickly finished reading the names of the two people, and then glanced at Director Wang.
Director Wang cleared his throat and stepped forward to whisper a few words.
Mi Huang looked troubled and said in a low voice: "Yang Bao has limited abilities, so I'm afraid he won't be able to lead the army well. Wang Joining the Army praises him too much."
Director Wang frowned, seemingly unhappy.
He has met both of these people.
Yang Bao didn't leave a deep impression on him. He was just a martial artist. He had so little martial arts skills and ability to lead troops, but he couldn't be considered very smart. He had seen many such people.
Shao Xun was a bit hard to see through. Although there was no shortage of etiquette, the whole person gave him a very bad feeling. He didn't understand it at first, but when he went back and thought about it, he realized that he didn't want to treat him.
He was humble, did not fawn over, and did not put himself in the position of a lowly and inferior person.
Wang Dao was born in the Wang family of Langya, one of the most prestigious noble families in the north. In daily life, he had long been accustomed to his nickname, the fawning over him from his humble family, and the admiration and inferiority complex that ordinary people felt when they saw him.
attitude.
It is true that Shao Xun has no problem with etiquette. But what about outside of etiquette? He has no extra or "superfluous" flattery to express admiration. In Wang Dao's view, this is unruly and unruly, which he doesn't like very much.
This is a subtle emotion that cannot be expressed to outsiders, but it does exist.
Therefore, when it came to the issue of superintendents, he suggested adding one more person to restrain each other. When discussing the scope of the two superintendents, he intervened again and planned to let Shao Xun be in charge of a group of old, weak and remnant soldiers.
To him, these are just trivial things that he does casually. But he knows that for ordinary people like Shao Xun, they often determine their fate - a grain of sand from the upper level may become a mountain when it falls to the bottom.
, which is unbearable.
"The king joins the army..." Mi Huang thought for a moment and then said: "Actually, many of the troops are not ready to fight now and may be eliminated. For example, those old people were ordered to return home when Emperor Wu was in power. Now is the time to employ people.
, but cannot do this, it is better to let them work in the fields in Wubao, guard against thieves, no longer participate in training, and release them to their hometown next year. It is also a good thing. For young children, how about ordinary food? "
Director Wang was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Mi Duhu is quite quick-witted."
Mi Huang's heart suddenly felt that Director Wang's words were strange, but after remembering Concubine Pei's promise, he bit the bullet and said: "I heard that Wang Canjun and Wang Rui of Langya have an irreversible relationship..."
When Director Wang heard this, his eyes narrowed, he sneered twice, flicked his robe sleeves, and said: "I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step. Governor Mi can decide what's going on here."
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 Director Wang himself are close friends. However, Sima Rui's current camp is unknown. His uncle Sima Yao is even from the Yecheng Sima Ying camp, while Wang Dao's main company Ma Yue is from the Changsha Wang Sima Yi camp.
of.
Sima Ying and Sima Yi seem to be harmonious and happy to cooperate at the moment, but in fact they are not on good terms and will have to fight sooner or later - Sima Yi deliberately wins over the imperial guards in order to prepare for a falling out in the future.
Mi Huang had already offended Director Wang by speaking out at this time. In fact, he was a little scared. The big mountain of Langya Wang family weighed heavily on his heart.
However, if a person has already been offended, what else can he do?
Thinking of this, he made a decision: hand over the hundreds of newly recruited soldiers to Shao Xun's leadership, and merge the others as they should.
Life is a constant process of making choices, that's all.
