Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

He hated iron for not being able to make steel, and output another amount of output to Zhang Yan. It was not until the sun was already high that Lu Su felt a little tired, and his voice gradually stopped, and he began to handle the military affairs for Zhang Yan. some affairs.

Needless to say, after his complaints just now, the generals who were a little strange to him at first, but they looked a little young, but they were tall and tall, and Zhang Yan's servant Sheng Very impressed.

Even Han Xian, who was relatively withdrawn, couldn't help but look sideways at the other party at this moment.

In his impression, or including military generals like Xu Huang and Yang Feng, in the eyes of those who have received a certain amount of education, courtiers who dare to export to their immediate superiors like Lu Su did before, they It's the first time I've seen it.

What a few people didn't know was that when they aroused a little curiosity about Lu Su, Lu Su's original goal today was almost achieved.

At the very least, if Lu Su makes some arrangements for the army in the hands of these people, as long as Zhang Yan does not object, the chances of those people being dispatched are still very high.

……

In fact, that's the way it is.

Although Lu Su was indeed speechless about some of Zhang Yan's previous arrangements today, he didn't really get angry as he showed. Instead, after silently weighing things up, he focused on how to Make use of the existing army on this one.

The reason why he acted so impulsively was that he was mad at Zhang Yan in front of everyone... On the one hand, Lu Su expressed his position to the generals present, saying that he was not the kind of flattering and flattering character, on the other hand, he also wanted to give Several generals present left a good impression.

The impression of a reckless, straightforward, and reckless man who talks about everything and doesn't care about others.

You know, Lu Su spent so much effort to find these people today, not simply to let them see that he is trolling.

These generals will be his colleagues in the future, and Lu Su must seriously consider trying to integrate into them as soon as possible, or even join them.

And since Zhang Yan has also told him, most of the generals under him are descendants of the Yellow Turban family, that is, the so-called reckless heroes...

If you want to integrate into them or let them accept themselves, it is very appropriate to show a character that is similar or similar to them.

Lowering his head and taking advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, Lu Su quietly glanced at everyone present.

It can be easily seen that people like Yang Feng, Han Xian and others have obviously developed a little interest in him, while generals with lower backgrounds like Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, although they look at him with some eyes He was not angry, but he didn't have any intention of repelling him. He just seemed to be waiting to see if he really had any real talents. This was already a very good thing for Lu Su.

As for his lord Zhang Yan...

Lu Su sneaked a glance at the other party by using his pen skills, but found that Zhang Yan was secretly looking at him with his eyes at the moment.

……

"How about it, did you have a good scolding just now?"

"Hey, we both have hair, don't just call me a monkey..."

……

Lu Su seemed to have heard the voice of the other party in a trance, and Lu Su smiled a little embarrassedly.

That’s right, everyone is a well-informed person, and his performance just now has indeed gone too far. Zhang Yan may not be able to react for a while, but now almost an hour has passed, and it is normal for him to realize his purpose things.

On the opposite side of Lu Su, Zhang Yan stared at the other party with his eyes, until Lu Su turned his head unnaturally, and then retracted his gaze in satisfaction.

I saw him leaning against the wall of this room, narrowing his eyes slightly, lost in thought for a while.

It has been several days since I met Lu Su for the first time that day.

Hearing the rustling of the writing brush in Lu Su's hand across the paper, and listening to the generals gathering around Lu Su and discussing the future of the Lujiang Army with glances and words, Zhang Yan suddenly felt There was a long-lost sense of relief.

It was as if a burden had been lifted off Lu Su's shoulders after what he said just now.

……

After meeting Lu Su that day, in the morning of that day, everyone set off from Zhongli Country on the south bank of the Huaihe River, and headed south all the way back to Wancheng, the prefecture of Lujiang County.

Now that Lu Su had said that the minerals from this state were enough to meet his needs, Zhang Yan didn't bother to go north again.

Just like what Lu Su said that day, instead of worrying about whether it is cost-effective to transport coal from Zhoulai to Wancheng, it is better to simply build a new industrial zone near the Huaihe River between Zhoulai and Zhongli, which is specially used for smelting and coal mining. Work related to industrial production.

Of course, although Lu Su rejected the plan to mine and transport back from the state, Zhang Yan's previous idea of ​​building roads was not abandoned.

Only this time, Zhang Yan changed the destination from Congzhou to the area between Zhoulai and Zhongli.

It is the Huainan No. [-] Industrial Zone, which has just been named recently.

That's right, after Lu Su persuaded Zhang Yan to revise the plan that day, Zhang Yan made a decision that day and named the lot that Lu Su mentioned "Huainan".

The meaning of the name is rather simple. It is not impossible to directly name the land south of the Huaihe River Huainan.

Of course, if it is true according to what the ancestors said, the mountains, south and water north are directly exposed to the sun, so they are "yang"; while the places with mountains north and water south are not exposed to sunlight, they are collectively called "yin".According to this rule, this place should be called "Huaiyin".

It's just that after thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Yan was inevitably influenced by the knowledge of later generations, and only felt that Huaiyin should be located in Wu County.The south of the Huaihe River is called Huainan, which is in line with the rules of the Lujiang River.

Although the entire Huainan No. [-] Industrial Zone is still a wasteland that only exists on the map, Zhang Yan believes that as long as he builds three blast furnaces for large-scale metal smelting there, he will arrange a series of industries with the blast furnace as the core. The production line, that will soon become lively here.

Job opportunities have always been one of the biggest driving forces for population migration, just like the urbanization of later generations, as long as the factories here can bring enough jobs and income to the people, the migration of the population does not even need to worry Zhang Yan, the people will naturally Know what you should do.

By then, the so-called Huainan No. [-] Industrial Zone...even Huainan County and even Huainan County that will appear in the future will become worthy of the name.

Chapter 32 Construction of Huainan Industrial Zone and Mobilization of Lujiang Army

In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.

After Lu Su gradually took over the army building work in Lujiang from Zhang Yan, everything quickly got on the right track.

Now that a week has passed, Lu Su has started to live a two-point and one-line life in his home and the military camp. While familiarizing himself with the characteristics of several legions in Lujiang, he is trying to find suitable targets, and Zhang Yan's subordinates have been raised for a long time. The soldiers of the army exercise their muscles and bones.

As for Zhang Yan himself, he finally started to do some things that only he could do after a long absence of leisure.

Compared with the efficiency of the overnight passage through the sky in later generations, the efficiency of the Lujiang River must be insufficient.

However, compared with other places in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Lujiang River controlled by Zhang Yan was obviously much higher than other places in this era.

Although it has only been more than half a month since Zhang Yan returned to Lujiang, Huainan No. [-] Industrial Zone, which was still in the planning stage, has officially started construction.

As the representative buildings of the entire industrial area, the three large-scale metal smelting blast furnaces were naturally the first targets for Zhang Yan's construction.

For this kind of building that can directly improve productivity, Zhang Yan is very clear. If all the three blast furnaces under construction are put into use, the impact on Lujiang will definitely not only be as simple as the smelting of weapons or armor. aspect.

Just like the steam engine in the [-]th century, whenever productivity—especially basic productivity is greatly improved, the first thing that will be affected and changed will not be the military or religion, but the lives of the people.

Take this simple ironmaking as an example. Ironware was a very scarce resource in the earliest days, so all ironware was used to produce weapon blades.

With the development of productivity, the output of iron is getting higher and higher. Correspondingly, some tools in human society that were previously made of copper or other metals...even some substances that are not metals have gradually begun to be replaced by iron.

First, the iron helmet and iron armor.

Then to iron shields, caltrops and even kitchen knives, axes, hoes and other agricultural tools.

If Zhang Yan’s estimation is correct, by the day when all three blast furnaces are completed, Lujiang’s rapid increase in metal production will even allow the “iron pot”, a sharp weapon that was gradually used in people’s lives during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, to appear ahead of schedule.

At that time, whether it is to sell iron pots as a special trade product of Lujiang, or simply rely on iron pots to popularize cooking, and then increase the attraction of Lujiang to the entire Chinese population by significantly increasing the happiness of residents For Zhang Yan, this is a sure-fire business.

Perhaps as a representative of the ruling class, Zhang Yan does not live without iron pots, let alone cooking.

But as a typical Chinese person who is more happy alone than happy with others, being able to let the "most people" under his command enjoy the beauty of life, this brings him far more pleasure than enjoying it by himself.

Leaving aside the various matters of the Huainan Industrial Zone, perhaps the Lujiang River has never stopped in the pace of urban construction.But apart from urban construction, there are many other things that have changed a lot during these fifteen days.

In addition to focusing on Huainan, in the past few days, Zhang Yan also passed many proposals put forward by Lu Su, and made a large-scale change to the entire Lujiang army.

Unlike the previous military reforms led by Zhang Yan, this time Lu Su did not adjust the army's establishment, nor did he make any major adjustments to the army's equipment.

In Lu Su's own words, Lujiang's military system and weapons are already quite mature, and there is no need for any adjustments.

Even in terms of weapons, the equipment of several soldiers and horses in Lujiang is much higher than the average level of today's big men, and it faintly has the level of Li Ling when he left Yanshan.

It is precisely because of this that the focus of Lu Su's adjustment to Zhang Yanjin this time is not the establishment, but the deployment of the entire Lujiang army.

These transfers are no longer "coping" and casual like before, but are really for the purpose of strategic layout, making the entire Lujiang army "live".

……

A few days ago, when Lu Su first came to Lujiang, Zhang Yan had a showdown with him.

Regardless of the threats that Lujiang will face in the future - such as the spying from Changsha County in the southwest and the conflict with the Shanyue forces in Danyang County to the east of Lujiang, Zhang Yan mentioned these to Lu Su.

At the same time, Zhang Yan also used his relationship in the court to vaguely mention to Lu Su the risks that Lujiang will face in the future at the level of China as a whole.

That is the upcoming civil war in Luoyang, the princes of the Eighteenth Route against Dong, the first collision of the princes of the Kwantung with the top frontier troops such as Xiliang cavalry and Bingzhou wolf cavalry before Hulao pass, etc.

Whether it is external defense or offensive risks, Zhang Yan has already talked to Lu Su about them.

Regarding these matters, Lu Su was also very knowledgeable and didn't ask much.

He knew that based on Zhang Yan's background and the opponent's backer in the court, Zhang Yan must have known something about the political situation in advance compared to forces from places like them.

It was precisely because of this that he hardly said anything, and took what Zhang Yan mentioned as a kind of fear that would definitely happen, and silently made a series of preparations for it.

The principle of mobilizing soldiers and horses in Lujiang this time is largely related to the upcoming military movements.

First of all, the Lujiang Bingma Division, who was originally stationed in the southern Qianshan Mountain, was transferred to the northern border of Lujiang under Lu Su's suggestion.

Compared with the mountainous, watery and densely forested south, although the climate here is still not very good, but the land is flat, and it is close to the Huaihe River, which is much better than feeding mosquitoes in buried hills.

This army will set up a large camp in the Huainan Industrial Zone on the south bank of the Huai River. On the one hand, it will conduct military drills, and on the other hand, it will also find time to cooperate with the engineering teams and build a defensive fortification along the Huai River.

Under the protection of Huai Shui, long-range projectile weapons such as artillery can play their role to the greatest extent.

In addition to the transfer of Lujiang Bingmasi to the north, in the east of Lujiang and the junction of Danyang, the rebellious Bingmasi is still stationed there.

It's just that compared with the previous way of setting up the big camp, this time Lu Su directly selected several passable mountain passes for Zhang Yan, and set up checkpoints at the mountain passes, blocking all roads from Danyang to Lujiang.

Anyway, Danyang is still under the control of Shanyue, and the prefect of Danyang has no strength to clear up the banditry. The wild land between the two counties has been controlled by Shanyue for a long time, and no businessman is willing to pass through this place. Instead of going to the Lujiang River by two roads, they all pass through the two waterways of the Jianghuai River as an alternative.

Therefore, even if the land route to the east is sealed off, Lujiang will not suffer any loss because of it. On the contrary, it can save Zhang Yan from the threat and influence of Zu Lang and others in the east.

As for the last army... After Zhang Yan discussed with Lu Su and many generals under his command for a long time, the recruitment work finally started.

Chapter 33 Things That Affect an Army's Combat Strength

After Zhang Yan hesitated for a long time, the third Lujiang army finally started recruiting.

It's just that it is different from the Lujiang Bingma Division and the Rebelling Bingma Division recruited by Zhang Yan before. Under Lu Su's suggestion, this third unit did not recruit according to Zhang Yan's previous "fifteen steps and five artillery" ratio. All chose to recruit the lowest-cost front-line resistance soldiers, that is, simple sword and shield hands.

It's not that the current Lujiang River can't afford so many artillery formation costs. You must know that once the Huainan industrial zone is put into production, the output of all metal smelting creations will improve.

What really made Zhang Yan make such a decision was mainly the quality of his soldiers.
