I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 383 This Superior Person Is Too Reliable

Of course, Zhiyao is building internal affairs, and military training is also a part of internal affairs.

In the current era, there are not many countries with standing armies, let alone families with standing troops.

Not to mention the countries that are too far away, Zhu Xia only has a standing army in Chu, that is, the "left and right", and the family only has a standing army in the Zhi family.

In addition, as the state of Chu became more and more chaotic, the "Zuo Guang" belonging to the monarch was no longer the elite standing army of the time of the Communist King of Chu. Quantity is even more worrying.

Therefore, Zhuxia can be regarded as the only army of Zhishi who can be regarded as a regular army. Especially under the attention of Zhiyao, the equipment of Zhishi's standing army can be called absolutely excellent.

Zhiyao is very clear about the principle that quality is more important than quantity. It is not to increase the number of standing troops, but to pay close attention to the fact that Zhishi gathers young and strong for training every two months.

There is a related term for this, and Zhiyao calls it compulsory military service.

In fact, it is not a tall thing, and at the same time it is not too complicated. Zhiyao borrowed from the Western Han Dynasty's pawn policy, requiring all localities to gather local young and strong in late summer and early winter every year, and then carry out military-related activities in the local area. Just training.

In the state of Jin, the annual convening of young and strong training is only for the "Xian" class, and the rest of the Li Shu have no relevant requirements.

Because the Jin State has such a system for "envy", the young and strong inside the Zhi family are very enthusiastic about being called for training, and the outside of the family are surprised how the Zhi family can prepare so many "envy".

Like the Wei family, they quickly learned to follow up after being surprised, but due to the gap in cognition, or the logistics is weaker than the Zhi family, they have added more "envy", but the scale is not as good as the Zhi family .

Afterwards, the Han family, the Fox family, the Zhong family, and a few independent middle-level families also began to increase their reserve personnel, copying Zhi's answer, and also called young adults for military training in late summer and early winter.

Why choose late summer and early winter?The simple reason is that there are no necessary things to do in these two seasons, and it is very convenient to gather after the farm work has just been done.

In the same way, many countries choose to go out after the end of spring and mid-autumn. It is also because the farm work is done at that time, and the farming will not be affected, and it is more convenient to assemble.

After all, although many countries in Zhuxia are in the stage of farming and nomadic, they will pay more attention to farming, and do everything without affecting farming as a precondition.

Because she is in Weidi, Zhiyao can't help but inspect the local military training in the second half of the year, but she seems a little ostentatious.

For example, embarrassment suddenly saw an army coming outside the village one day, and the moment he saw it, he was stunned.

It's not that he was embarrassed to think that there was an enemy attack. Zhishi's flag had been seen several times, so he couldn't tell what kind of army it was. He was simply surprised by the large number of cavalry and most of the soldiers who seemed to be wearing black armor.

Those cavalry, they rode taller than usual horses, their breastplates reflected silver light, bows, quiveres, and small round shields hung from one side of the horses' necks, and they held a riding spear about four meters long in their hands.

What the hell?Spears are divided into step spears and riding spears?Of course there is!
First of all, the spear shaft will be thicker, and the spear head will appear larger, that is, the "jiè" will be larger, and the tapered "ridge" will be more protruding and the semicircular "wing" will expand outward. bigger.

The shaft of the riding spear is relatively thin, and the material selection is more particular. It is either extremely tough or brittle wood, and the spearhead will be smaller to reduce weight.

In fact, the appearance of riding spears is enough to explain the problem, proving that Zhishi's research on cavalry has made new progress.

The reason why Chi's cavalry are equipped with spears is quite embarrassing. In fact, the bow is too soft. It is okay to shoot unarmored soldiers, but the lethality of enemy troops wearing armor is almost zero.

What's more embarrassing is that the manufacturing of riding crossbows is difficult and expensive, resulting in too few Zhishi cavalry equipped with riding crossbows.

Therefore, before a suitable cavalry bow has been researched for the cavalry archer, the long-range attack is actually a harassment effect, and the real lethality it can exert is very limited.

Zhiyao didn't know about those things at all before, and once she was a very smart person who "knows everything", Zhi's cavalry actually used cavalry to shoot down several times, and made timely tactical adjustments.

The cavalry equipped with spears are already training in the direction of the assault cavalry, how powerful they are can only be seen when they are actually engaged in combat.

"Why did the armor turn black?" Embarrassed was the first time seeing Zhi's soldiers in black armor.

The blackening of the armor is due to the addition of a painting process. Currently only Zhiyao's guards wear this armor.

It is not a black technology to paint the nail plate. It may have been used in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty... perhaps in the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

Of course, lacquer is difficult to obtain. Although Zhuxia has long produced lacquer trees, and there are records of artificial planting, there is still a saying that "one or two lacquers are worth a thousand dollars", which is obviously related to Nanyang or South America. There is a large difference in tree species.

Zhishi's lacquered armor is not to increase defense, it is usually only one millimeter thick, mainly for rust prevention.

If there is no shortage of paint, armies in many places actually use armor extensively, and will paint thicker armor to increase the defense of the armor.

It took Zhu Xia’s side to fully paint armors in the period of Emperor Wen (Liu Heng) of the Western Han Dynasty, and the number of armors at that time was not large; until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the channels for obtaining lacquer may have increased, and it is very likely that the two emperors Wen Jing The accumulated inventory is large enough, not only the number of painted armor for the army has increased sharply, but also the amount of lacquer used in the palace is extremely large.

Zhiyao doesn't know how to do private visits with micro-services. While taking her own life as a matter of indifference, it is also an act of abandoning her ancestors' foundation.

To put it bluntly, the monarchs who engage in micro-services are all mentally ill, and nothing will happen ten thousand times. As long as one accident happens, they will die and die.

Actually, right?The patrol of the superior is more of a urging effect, letting more people know that the superior is patrolling, the effect is far better than sneaking to a certain place to find the fault of the subordinates.

The reason is quite simple, everyone knows that the high-ranking person is patrolling, but they don't know where the high-ranking person will go, so they will definitely pay more attention to it. Even if the manager is pretending, the effect will still come out.

If it is to catch pests in the team, don't the superiors have a few cronies?

In other words, it is better to send more people to visit and investigate secretly than the superiors to play blind cats and run into dead mice, right?
This is not the first place Zhiyao has inspected. They took "Puyang" as the starting point and spent half a month circling Weidi. Overall, Zhiyao was more satisfied.

"The eldest son?" Embarrassed when he saw Zhiyao, the back of his head felt a little swollen, and he was stunned.

It's not only embarrassing, but those who recognize Zhiyao all have dull expressions.

How to say this situation?Ordinary people look at national leaders without any psychological preparation, their heartbeats speed up instantly, and their brains lose their thinking after a "boom", probably like this.

In the current era, the power of the superior is infinite, one word can decide life and death, one word can make people fly, the authority is beyond imagination, and the sense of awe given to people is a super doubling effect.

The head of the village is Yuan Weiren, who was captured by the Zhi family a long time ago, and later became a slave from a slave, and then from a slave to an auxiliary soldier. He had the same experience as Guan in Qidi.

This is a routine played by Zhiyao. It takes a few years to integrate a group of people, and then train them to a certain extent, and then send them back to the original place as the grassroots.

It must be said that this method is very useful, it can always digest a certain occupied area in a very short time, and it is easier for the local people to have a sense of expectation for Zhishi.

That sense of anticipation is that ordinary people know that hard work can change their destiny, and they have greater expectations for future life.

People will be more motivated if they have goals, or goals that can be seen and achieved.

What I have to say is that the ordinary people in the past really didn't have any goals, they just lived in a daze, and everything was impossible to achieve just because of the goals.

It's the first time you have a life goal, and it's still achievable. People who haven't experienced similar experiences can't describe it at all.

Zhiyao inspected the village, didn't make any comments, didn't even talk to the village, and followed the route of "I came in a big way, and left without saying a word, and took one or two lucky people with me when I left" .

The embarrassment of leaving with the team was stunned the whole time, and it was not until the camp that night that he came back to his senses.

"I, I... became the bodyguard of the eldest son?" Embarrassed, he felt like he was dreaming.

what's the situation?The situation is that when Zhiyao is inspecting, he will randomly take away one or two people from some villages or cities.

Of course, Zhiyao has his own purpose in taking them away. It is similar to creating a "Lang Guan" system. If he can be trained, he will be trained. One day he will serve as an officer in the army. For local fusion.

This set has been used by many high-ranking people, and it has been proven to be effective to an exaggerated degree.

According to a person who did not want to be named, he relied on this method to end his exile from a small island for the second time and successfully carried out a restoration.What's more miserable is that after a hundred days, I played with eggs again.

Of course, Zhiyao didn't play that way for the sake of restoration, but mainly because he found that it was effective. In order to sum up more experience, he not only played like Qiren and Weiren, but also strengthened the training of Lu people recently.

Once the Zhi clan completes the annexation of the Qi state, the next goal is for the Lu state not to run away.

Therefore, Zhiyao swallowed the Qi and Lu countries, and then quickly destroyed the Yan country, and the Zhi family seemed to have a pattern of excluding Cao Wei and excluding Guanzhong.

Uh, it seems that apart from the smaller territory, the population of the Zhi family is smaller than that of Cao Wei?
