Tan eating pot pulp:

According to ancient rumors, King Shou of Shang was a strong man who was able to support nine plows and support beams and pillars.All the food and drink are served with the ears of the pot. Jizi saw it and said: "The material strength of extraordinary people has its own unique features. Serving meals is like serving the ancestral temple, that's okay!"

Later, it was used to describe a person who is particularly able to eat, and needs to use a basket to hold rice and a pot to hold water to provide food.

Chapter 66 In Business Talks Business

Since the Feihu clan was granted fiefdom by the King of Shang, they have changed from savages to gentry. They need to serve and pay tribute, and undertake the farming of Wangtian. However, because they have become gentry, naturally there are many savages. cling to.

If the contributions of later generations are for the tax-free privileges of scholars, then the savages now hope to be protected. In this era, there are many wild beasts, and there are some strange beasts and monsters with strange powers and gods. It is even more difficult to live in Yi asylum.

Due to the new fiefdom, even though they are nobles, in the eyes of businessmen, they are still stinky beggars from other places. Therefore, don’t expect to be able to mobilize all members like old businessmen. Most of the young and strong need to open up fields in the mountains and organize savages. Capture those barbarians who really don't accept the kingship as slaves, and then build cities or towns.

Zishou gave them some necessary supplies and tools for survival, but correspondingly, twenty or so young and strong members of the Feihu clan who had eaten two full meals had to come to the royal court. My sister, as a proton, is also one of the main components of the nobility in Modu.

Most of the Flying Tigers are small in stature and flexible in movement. Most of them have brownish-yellow hair color, and a few are dark pink that Zishou likes very much. It is said that their clan migrated from the north to Mount Tai in Dongyi.

Unlike human fingers, the joints where their phalanx connects to the back of the hand can grow quickly, pierce the small cracks in the skin, and become bone claws on the fingers. This structure allows them to quickly grow on wood and Climbing on softer soil.

On rocks, the effect is much worse. At the same time, there are foldable soft flying wings between the upper arms and armpits. When flying, there will be a faint light film connected to the ankles. The size of the light film of the Flying Tigers is different. The larger the light film, the farther they can fly, and the heavier things they can carry.

"You can only bring short knives and light leather armor..." It seems that it is not suitable for the job of flying to seize the city. The first choice is heavy armor and short-handled blunt weapons. He was stabbed to death in the corner with two shots, and the short knife facing the pile of long weapons was basically the same as courting death.

"It's not suitable for raids, but it can be used as a special force." Zi Shou rubbed his chin, it doesn't matter if he can't take the city, poison the water source in the city, burn his food and grass, go around behind the enemy and block the road with logs ah.

For example, if Xiqi attacks Hangu, they can let this group of people pass over Chousangyuan, then cut wood on the original body, push the wood to Yaohan Road, and then smash a pot of fat down, waiting for the Zhou army to retreat Time, drop the torch.

Basically, Zhou Jun can prepare for the entire army to be wiped out. There are burning giant logs in the front and back, and then hundreds of people throw stones and logs down on it, and even simply ignite the rolling logs and push them down. Bao failed miserably.

"Speaking of which, isn't this way of leaping a flying squirrel? It turns out that a flying tiger is a flying squirrel!" Zishou said that everything can be called a tiger except for a tiger. What do you call a flying tiger?Called Feixiong~

In a sense, it can be seen from this that Lu Shang is not the kind of old man who is powerless in the legend, but he is quite capable of beating. In other words, there are not many guys who use weapons like whips without muscles. sturdy. 【The whip is a blunt weapon】

"Well, not bad, not bad" Zishou gave a few words of approval according to the custom, and gave the armaments and flags, and then placed this group of people in the small town outside the North City of Lutaiyuan. Now they have no use at all.

All of them were sallow and emaciated, and they ate and drank a lot in a few months, and they might not be able to raise them back. Moreover, the fighting style they learned from hunting was not suitable. Zishou had to find a way to retrain these people so that they could learn new skills. Tactics.

To put it simply, their function is to send orders, detect, sabotage and spy, especially to remove the enemy's peripheral sentinels, watchtowers and turrets. Don't talk nonsense when facing the enemy head-on and making a final decision. With this level of armed force, just go in Sent.

However, in order to play this role, then these guys have to eat more offal, radishes, and fruits, otherwise they will be completely useless if they have night blindness, and their main work is to work at night.

"Your Majesty, have you met a girl from the Flying Tiger Clan?"

"Yeah" Zishou nodded, and continued to reply on the wooden slips about the handling plan for the newly relocated Dongyi people. As a king, he has a lot of government affairs, especially when a large number of Dongyi people are relocated inside. Large-scale civil strife, if handled well, will get a large number of excellent fighters.

Due to the relationship between Dongyi's civilization, the number of chariots is not very large. Of course, chariots are also related to financial resources. The tens of thousands of chariots that merchants have accumulated for hundreds of years. It was difficult to gather a large number of chariots after three days and two days when the tribes merged.

Naturally, the level of their infantry is much better than that of the merchant army. Unfortunately, in the era without super long spears, the infantry was basically crushed to death in the face of the impact of the chariot group. infantry.

Most of the cavalry in this era is scouting and harassment. It is difficult to train shock cavalry without stirrups and high bridge saddles. Even if they are trained, the impact force is much weaker.

As for the horseshoe, it is completely useless to the big merchants. The function of the horseshoe is to protect the horseshoe, and it will not crack the hoof in harsh terrain. In fact, wooden horseshoes probably existed in the Han Dynasty.

However, Shang's territory is flat and flat, and there are not many mountains and gravel on the soft ground. Isn't the invention of this kind of thing to increase the fighting power of the Hu people?Originally, the horses of the Hu people could not enter from the Datong area of ​​Shanxi, because the horses' hooves could not stand the long-distance raid.

But if you get the shoe out, even if it is made of wood, it means that there are more than a dozen invasion routes for the barbarian cavalry to choose, so use your head to block it.

However, in such a flat place, the impact of playing the battle lane is much stronger than that of the early cavalry. When the Hu people attacked the Central Plains during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, they mainly relied on the mobility of the cavalry. Simply put, they were hiding and hiding , dragging you back home after running out of food and grass, and then running back to rob you, you really have to confront it head-on...

How hard do you think about colliding with a ton of hardwood covered with a layer of copper dragged by 2 to 4 war horses in a flat place?And there are three standing on this thing, one driving a car, one holding a long weapon, and one holding a bow and arrow. The platform is stable and the defense is high.

After all, the opponent can put a big shield in front of you, and then take out a longbow for infantry to shoot, but you only have a short cavalry bow, and you can’t really shoot at each other. When the Warring States Period, the big guys began to put heavy crossbows on it. When it's time, it's even more fucking impossible.

However, the disadvantage of chariots is that they cannot trek and turn around, and they have high requirements for the preset battlefield. Therefore, even in this era, the barbarians rely on cavalry, archery and mounted infantry to charge a wave, and when they see chariot troops coming , and slipped away with a whistling sound.

And run to places like river beaches, where you can't drive fast, and you will be thrown away by the merchant army in two strokes, and then circle around, and come to burn your village and rob your rear.

This is why Zishou didn't invent stirrups and horseshoes, even if they were made of wood. Now that Hu people cross the river and detour on the river beach, there is a loss of terrain. If they invent these two things, they are waiting to be beaten four times. Is it the famous scene of Minshui?

That's why Zishou wanted to build a wall and let the barbarians pay for it. I'll stick a fort on all the broken terrain you can detour. Come on, you can detour another one to show me, and fight head-on. Fighting head-on, is the merchant army still afraid that your whole clan will not be able to make a bronze spearhead together?

"It's a pity, there are no heavy draft horses." Zishou wondered if he could start breeding such heavy draft horses, but he didn't know how to breed them, and the breed was still in Europe.

Otherwise, those 2-meter-high things can change the current two-wheeled chariot into a four-wheeled box-type chariot, and then put armor on the horse, put on shoes, and seven or eight people can be stuffed into the chariot , three step bows, four spears, or even 4 horses, it can be a little bigger, and a fixed crossbow can be inserted into it.

At that time, it will depend on whether it is your three-speed Gouhaikuai or my disgusting story about mobile urbanization. The reality has proved that after the cavalry replaced the chariot, and after the invention of the tank, it was replaced by the chariot again, lol~ 【Bobo furious】

"What is a heavy draft horse?"

"Things that don't yet exist in the world" Zi Shou patted Ji Tang on the head, the latter yawned a little, with a trace of saliva on the side of his pink mouth, dozing off is inevitable, after all, every day It is really tiring to go outside the city to guide those barbarians in Chu to plant rice, even if you don't have to go to the fields yourself.

Raising seedlings is even more tiring. It’s fine if you just grow your own seedlings, but it’s not so tiring if you want to raise seedlings grown by others. Those seedling trays are not light.

"Speaking of which, what does Your Majesty think of the girls from the Flying Tiger Clan?"

"Not so good" Zishou caged the processed wooden slips together and put them in the rattan box. Although he is not as good as Qin Shihuang (of course, the site is not that big), there are one or two carts of wooden slips that need to be read and approved every day. so many.

"It looks thin, with brown hair and big eyes, but it looks average." The village girl who lives and sleeps in the open air looks like this, not to mention that she came all the way from Dongyi, and she is not as beautiful as the noble girl in Modu, even if the latter is in Zizi. It seems that there are very few eye-catching.

"Oh~"

"Then who is your Majesty going to let lead the infantry?" Su Biao helped Zishou arrange the wooden slips inside the box, then closed the lid, added ink sticks for him again, poured water, hammered it with a small pestle, and stirred it into ink. [The ink stick and grinding method in TV were invented very late]

"Well...let me think about it." Zi Shou frowned. There are not many people who can lead an army alone, and even fewer have no blood feud with Dongyi. "I intend to let Fei Lian be the coach, and Fei Lian Hu is the deputy commander, Fei Lian is only named." His name is enough to convince other nobles, and Feihu himself is from Dongyi, so it is no problem for him to command the infantry composed of Dongyi.

"I'll draw Yufang and northern officials as non-commissioned officers. I think it should be fine." Of course, Zishou would not make the mistake of ancient Rome. The aristocrats promoted by Dongyi were used as high-ranking military officers, in other words, they were crazily mixed with sand.

Theoretically speaking, the low-level military officers are from Yufang and have relatives by marriage with the Dongyi people, and the middle-level military officers are the merchant nobles in the north. They have no blood feud with Dongyi and will not attract resistance from the Dongyi people. Nobles, this can also appease Dongyi and prevent them from thinking that the King of Shang uses them as consumables.

The supreme commander is the merchant, who can persuade the merchant nobles without making the merchant hostile to the new army. On the surface, Yu Fang and Dongyi seem to be very close, but they are two tribes after all, and they will not stick to Dongyi. Based on his own background, after all, for Shang, Yu Fang is much easier to fight than Dong Yi.

"In this way, the top and bottom are separated, but they can be of the same heart. I think it shouldn't be too fast." As for the matter of future generations, Zishou didn't think about it. Although these are Dongyi people, Dongyi people and businessmen are essentially The difference is not too big, and I can completely integrate these people into it within my own generation. By then, there will be no Dongyi at all, only Qidi merchants.

Naturally, you don’t need to worry about the mess in Rome, but the premise is that future generations will really copy this set. Facts have proved that his future generations have not learned anything else. Time to strike hard.

Moreover, there is another key reason why Yu Fang, who is an in-law of the Dongyi people, is a grassroots officer. For translation, the people of Yu Fang can speak the same dialect and discuss the dialect, so that it can play the role of a translation order. These Dongyi pawns learned business dialect. After a long time, these people became businessmen starting from the language.

In Luodi, the internal tribes of Dongyi were scattered and resettled here. Most of them were reduced to savages. Only a few were reselected and granted the status of Chinese people. The rest were incorporated into the crowd and could serve as soldiers to form a separate army. , rather than a division.

One army and five divisions, that is, there are as many as 15000 people. It is worth mentioning that the military system in the late Shang Dynasty began to distinguish between "people" (civilians, standing army) and "dengren" (temporary conscripted troops) .

And the number of vehicles also began to increase to 800 to 1000 vehicles per division, instead of [-] vehicles in the early Xia and Shang Dynasty. However, it is not clear whether the vehicles here refer to chariots or all vehicles.

From Zishou’s point of view, all the vehicles, in short, about 100 chariots and combat establishments, and more than 700 auxiliary ox carts and spare chariots, carrying food, spare weapons, arrows and transporting spoils ——Otherwise, it would be a bit difficult for other infantry to keep up with the chariot troops, not to mention that in case the chariot is damaged, it would be too ridiculous to carry the repair materials and tools on the shoulders.

[This discrepancy in records, if it is understood that the military vehicles are not full tanks, but most of them are auxiliary vehicles, it is more reasonable. After all, a division eats 3 tons of food every day, let alone 200 horses. 7~10 times the number of transport vehicles is normal. 】

And these Dongyi troops have no chariots, only about 2000 auxiliary vehicles of various sizes. The car's cattle and so on.

Zishou divided these Dongyi people into "people" who were not very popular or popular at this time. They were not Chinese, could not live in the city, nor were they savages or Dengren (temporary conscripts of nobles, farmers and soldiers). It is necessary to cultivate the king's land and undertake the corvee of other nobles. They are only loyal to the king of Shang and only cultivate the fields they have been allocated, but they cannot have slaves.

In Dongyi's residence, most of the Dongyi people have become savages, farming royal and private fields, and have to support the semi-standby combat troops incorporated into the "everyone" on their heads. 10,000+ Dongyi people have migrated one after another Arriving in Luodi greatly opened up the land in this area and accelerated the speed of King Shang's reclamation.

However, a new food crisis followed. There was no output in the first few years of land reclamation, so Zishou had to open up the forests south of Luodi, and let these Dongyi people find their own way to eat in the mountains and lakes. At the same time, Temporarily raising some of them will become a real standing army—although it is a temporary solution.

However, with such a division, a standing army of 2500 people excluding tanks, Zishou saw the grain and dried meat in the private warehouse drop at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What's more troublesome is that instead of worrying about the shortage, the merchants began to shout that it was unfair, and they also wanted to stop working and join the ranks of the standing army-just kidding, Dongyi's wastes can only train farming and not serve corvee , If you don’t cultivate the public land, why can’t we businessmen who have won the battle?

Therefore, Zishou had to bite the bullet and carefully selected the strong men in Jinei, the king of Modu, to form a separate small army, put them among the Dongyi people, gathered a master of 3000 people, and sent the king's masters he led Expanded from the first division to the size of the second division.

"So, how did the previous generations of Shang kings support the three masters?" This is something that Zishou couldn't figure out, and apparently Emperor Yi didn't tell him that the previous kings were not standing army and half-armed. The standing militia is just standing nobles and Chinese divisions.

In this way, when the fight starts, Zishou can use the first army to suppress the southeast. The first army will use the newly organized right division as the core to gather 12000 Dongyi people to form a new semi-standby militia army, and all of them are infantry. It is much cheaper than a complete tank unit.

So, this year passed quietly while the king of Shang and Ji Chang were forced to burn out by money and food. It was not until the autumn of Emperor Xin Shisi, relying on the trade income from buying seeds in Chu, that Zishou finally got over it. Come in one go.

In Business Talk Business:

It refers to the businessman's words must be spoken in the businessman's territory, which means the same as going to the countryside and doing as the Romans do.

Chapter 67 Contract Fraud

After a year of recuperation, the Feihu tribe finally settled down a little bit, and the wasteland can start to grow peas and soybeans. In addition, the King of Shang granted permission to open the mountains and forests, hunt and log, and trade rice with people in Chudi in the south, etc. The income from the series finally made it through last year's famine.

This is the same for the Dongyi people in Luodi or the current Luodi people. They are a little bit worse than the Feihu people, because they still need to support a large group of "people". There is an additional burden. The only thing that is a little gratifying is that the small water conservancy project in Luodi has achieved initial results. Otherwise, at least half of these Dongyi people would have died last year.

Moreover, the King of Shang also took the initiative to spend money to support some of the strong young and strong infantry, which also accelerated the return of the Dongyi people. Now, is it the King of Shang who is wicked, or the original nobles and tribal leaders of Dongyi who are wicked? It became a bit blurred.

After all, they don't understand the measures of the King of Shang, they can only see the present, they only know that those big tribes have forced them into desperation, and the King of Shang has given them land. The fact that nobles are really immoral is also rooted in the hearts of these Dongyi people.

If it starts from scratch, and promotes all the savages to train an infantry recruit, not only will there be great internal opposition, but also the training time will be very long, but if these Dongyi nobles and warriors are demoted to Everyone, training as a new army, the internal pressure will not be so great.

After all, in the eyes of most merchant nobles, this is a kind of belittling and punishment for the defeated, and the training speed is also very fast, because they have undergone long-term combat training and have weapons and armor.

However, Zi Shou did not group the people from the small nobles with the new army. They were not able to return to their hearts with their status and land distribution. He organized them separately as a standing army, and then formed an elite army with the Shang people. mixed together.

After that, about 100 Flying Tigers and northern barbarian infantry were stuffed in, and it became a super-organized division of 3500 people, which served as the right division of the king's division and the middle division of the new army.

In this way, it will not arouse the resistance of the Dongyi soldiers and the attached tribes, and prevent these former nobles and warriors who may be dissatisfied with contacting other Dongyi people, but let them contact with the people of Shang. Spying on each other also heightened their psychological perception.

Although they are all of the same status, they are surrounded by merchant nobles and Chinese people, so they naturally don't feel that they are of the same status as those Dongyi people.

This kind of arrogance will further sever the relationship between them and the other four divisions. In the end, after a year of running-in, even if this unit completely eliminates the internal hidden dangers, it will be difficult to rebel.

Modu, the main hall, the candlelight is dim, Su Bi is holding Ji Tang in his arms, nestled in the white fox fur, revealing smooth and round thighs and delicate feet, Ji Tang seems to be squeezed a little uncomfortable by someone's heavy armor, twisting He moved his body and let out a groan.

Zishou wore a robe and continued to deal with the newly created Dongyi Army or Luo Army. There were many things involved, but they had to be dealt with as quickly as possible, especially regarding various fields, water intake disputes, and supplies. Necessary grain and tools.

However, compared to last year's tragedy, it is much better now. These Dongyi people have gained a firm foothold. After another four or five years, they will be completely assimilated into businessmen. The 10,000+ Dongyi people Attachment also means that the population under his rule has increased by about 10%. The population here refers to "people", and "things" such as slaves are not counted, because the consumption and acquisition of slaves are unstable.

There may be 100 million slaves this year, but next year there will be less than 30 left. It is meaningful to be counted.

"Who!?" The palace guard yelled, followed by the sound of swords and soldiers clashing. Zi Shou raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that Ji Kao had attracted some knight-errant warriors. He acted a little hard. Forget it. , don't be too demanding, in this era, you need to work harder to be powerful.

"Your Majesty?" Su Bi rubbed his eyes and looked towards the door, which woke Ji Tang up too. She, who was short in stature, was squeezed off the couch by Su Bi, and let out a short exclamation.

"It's okay, your brother's assassin has arrived."

"My elder brother? Can't it?" Ji Tang was dumbfounded. She felt that it was unlikely that her elder brother would ask an assassin to assassinate King Shang. What was he trying to do?

"Well, what I said is a bit inappropriate. It should be said that your second brother hired an assassin for your elder brother." Zishou also guessed, anyway, he prepared two sets of plans and excuses.

One set is that Ji Kao moved the warriors, and the warriors entered the palace and greeted the King of Shang with their swords, and slayed themselves in pursuit of it. The King of Shang was moved, and when the time was good, he sent troops for Ji Kao.

One set is that Ji Fa assassinates the king, blames Ji Kao, and Ji Kao pleads guilty, crying to the Shang court, and the Shang king is angry and revives the teacher, anyway, he chooses one of the two.

And if the main force is Dongyi Luo army, the nobles of Shangdu will not feel dissatisfied because of the protracted war, and it will not seriously delay the production of Shangdi. At the same time, consuming some Dongyi nobles and soldiers is also beneficial to Luo The army became part of the merchant army.

"My lord, aren't you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid. I guessed that this day will come. Therefore, a fast airborne troop is stationed in the inner garden of the palace. Well, it can be regarded as airborne." Patrol above the palace of Lutaiyuan, for this reason, Zishou also pulled a lot of Assassin's Creed's favorite horizontal cables.

And airborne means, hit and hit, there is a crash on the roof, and about 20 strong men jump down to block the house and beat you up. This means that the Feihu tribe can jump from the highest point of Lutai, especially Huang Feihu. Sister, in order to test their ability, Zishou specially asked her to jump down from the highest point of Lutai, but encountered a strong wind and floated to the gate of the city before landing, so frightened that she cried loudly.

"Clang!" The sound of weapons colliding became louder and louder. Ji Tang and Su Bi also got dressed. The latter raised his index finger and thumb in a flower-like shape, and a blue bird landed on his finger. After whispering something, he raised his hand, and the bird came out of the window.

The short jade knife slipped into the palm of the hand. This is one of the only remaining ritual objects of the white fox in Tushan. The jade rhinoceros ruler knife is said to be a magic weapon that appeared in the era of Dayu. It is just one foot long and can be used to draw a line A partition will be formed, probably similar to an air wall, but its strength is not high. It belongs to the kind that can be smashed by any wrestler with a hammer in hand. It is not even qualified to block the charge of infantry on the battlefield.

The real usage is to deflect and block the arrows. It is difficult for the arrows that penetrate the air wall to penetrate the armor, and if they are blocked by the air wall, the shafts of the current bamboo and wood arrows may even twist instantly. It exploded in mid-air.

When the arrow flies out, it is not straight, but twisted and twisted. It is prone to cracks and ruptures when it is suddenly blocked by the air wall, and it will really crack directly when it hits the shield.

Moreover, it was never said that there was only one such air wall, and that Su Bing's physical strength could create dozens of air walls or one or two weak air walls that could shelter 3000 troops before exhaustion.

One or two air walls at worst can also make the arrow unbalanced and strike sideways, which is even more lethal. Therefore, when Su Bing was protecting Zishou on the battlefield, he did this. The two air walls formed an angle of 30 degrees. Spread out along the assault formation, and let the arrows slide horizontally.

"Huhu~" The other hand rubbed the tail of the fox slightly, bringing a blue phosphorous fire at the beginning, and finally turned into a blue-white flame between the fingers. Fox fire, low-temperature flame is difficult to burn people, but it can bring people the Burn pain, one of the family secrets or spells mastered by Su Bing.

The principle, Zishou has been researching for a long time and has not figured it out, and Su Bing also said that he doesn’t understand it. In short, it’s not like there is any stable law, but it’s still very idealistic. What does it mean to inject pain into it? , Start a fire with resentment, anyway, it is useless to test it.

"Don't be so nervous." Zi Shou knocked on the table, and the blond girl yawned, "It's late at night, what's the matter, tell me!"

"Do you need to sleep even with a sword?" Zishou looked at Xiao Lian curiously, isn't she a sword?Why do you need to sleep.

"Because I don't sleep, do you listen to the three of you singing?" Xiao Lian rolled her eyes, and then her expression became serious, because she also heard the sound of weapons outside, jumped off the table, and stood barefoot on the floor On the ground, with a wave of his little hand, a glowing sharp blade emerged from his palm, and Zishou also had a long white crystal sword in his hand, exuding a warm pale golden glow.

"Boom!" A guard fell into the main hall, and a burly man covered in blood stepped into the bloody water. He was stunned to see the appearance of the women in this hall, and the bronze sword in his hand was deformed. Picking up a new sword from the bodyguard, he took a few steps forward, sat down on his knees, raised his head, and stared at King Shang.

"Strong man, what do you want?" Zi Shou said lightly, leaning on the crystal sword, waved for Su Bing to sit down, and just looked at the burly man in front of him, "Killing into the palace is a death penalty."

"Death is death, this is for grievance!"

"What's wrong with me?" Zi Shou looked expressionless, is it none of my business if you are wronged?Master, am I not wronged?
