Hongzhou is vigorously lighting up the science and technology tree. As the productivity becomes higher and higher, more and more technologies can be lit up and researched. And the joke that Yu Zai made back then was like driving a tractor in the world of mountains and seas. , it seems that it will really come true in the near future.
At the beginning of winter, the bucket handle points to the northwest, and the sun's ecliptic longitude reaches 225°.
Li means the beginning of construction; winter means the end and the collection of all things.
When the vitality is suppressed, all things rest and recuperate.
But Hongzhou is still full of vitality, and after the autumn harvest, when the food is abundant, a large number of warriors begin to leave their posts and gather in the vast mountains and fields. They line up in rows and rows, holding bows and arrows or holding weapons. There were tall warriors with spears, iron swords and steel armor, or elm cannons, and chains and ropes tied to their bodies.
According to the different combat methods, the training plan that Yu Zai thought about at the beginning began to be officially implemented this winter. Among these soldiers, the Mountain Army has experienced actual combat and won the title of "Wu Dang Flying Army" to attack Ba Renna. One battle was enough for this ancient army to become famous in the Lingnan and Southwest lands and be passed down.
They were all wearing armor, carrying strong swords, and climbing over mountains and ridges with bows and crossbows. These warriors had gone through several battles, from the initial attack on the You family in Di, to the later city defense battles against Sanmiao, and then to The cross-river tug-of-war with the Xu Ao Kingdom, then the large-scale crusade against the Shu tribe, and then the Jinyun and Ba people... finally became the backbone of the southern warriors!
Practice level three!
Yu Zai dispersed the people in this mountain army and organized them into units of various arms. At the same time, he also carried out the construction of "military camps"!
Different types of troops are divided according to the different terrains required. In the south, there are only ponies, which are also used for transportation and pulling goods. Moreover, the mountains and hills are not suitable for cavalry operations, so the number of cavalry is very small, only about a hundred. What Yu Zai means is...these cavalry can be used as donkey soldiers in their spare time...
"A pony and a donkey are about the same..."
There are so many donkeys in the south. Azai bought one at first, and later gave him a few more when he came to deliver goods to the south. Donkeys are rare beasts in the world, so they are difficult to get. They are only available in the West. Fortunately, they are available in the West. It was Yuzai who established a friendly relationship with the Queen Mother of the West back then, otherwise she would not have been able to find the donkey later.
Of course, the bought donkey lived a very comfortable life in the south. After all, it did not expect that there were so many strange beasts here, including the strange goat that always wanted it to be its little brother...
Lamb once bribed the donkey, hoping that it would become his little brother, but the donkey didn't understand what Lamb meant at all. After all, the donkey was just an ordinary beast and did not have the qualifications and circumstances to evolve into a strange beast, unlike the Holy Bear. completely different.
The cavalry were taken away for training alone, but everyone knew that these hundred or so people could actually serve as scouts to deliver messages to various areas in Hongzhou, so they could build "stations"!
Apart from Laogao, there is finally someone else in the profession of courier.
"Stirrup, saddle, bit..."
These are equipment for single cavalry. As for chariots, they have been around for a long time. However, in Hongzhou, chariots were not used for combat most of the time. They were only used in batches during the expedition against the Shu tribe. The rest of the time, they were used Acting as a truck on the highway....
Yu Zai came up to cheat, and at the same time, I remembered that when I was chatting with the Chishui woman online, the other party mentioned that someone in the Western Wilderness had domesticated horses, but they did not equip the horses with special props. Apparently, it was just as mentioned in the historical site. Just like that, the time when horses were completely domesticated in the Central Plains began to be domesticated from the time of the Yellow Emperor, or the period of the last Emperor Yan...
However, it would take until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period (nomads not included) to be able to ride alone.
However, horse props are not so easy to obtain. In the era of ignorance, even King Zhao Wuling could only learn the nomadic people’s riding habits instead of inventing stirrups, because there was no way to invent something that he had never seen before. study.
The military book of the late Warring States period once said that the cavalry "eight soldiers per horse". However, although the Zhao army did not have a full set of equipment such as stirrups, they could still charge and shoot arrows on horseback. They imitated the clothes of the Hu people and imitated the Hu people. Human weapons, coupled with advanced copper and iron smelting technology, and the requisition of the Linhu tribe from the Hu people as part-time trainers for mercenary knights, enabled the Zhao State to expand thousands of miles, conquer the clouds, collect Jiuyuan, and destroy Zhongshan... ...
Therefore, enemies who fight without stirrups should not be underestimated. After all, the man who harnesses the horse is mighty and majestic and can do anything...
The one hundred cavalry were taken to a farther and wider place for training, and among the remaining arms, under the assignment of the big shots, there were newly formed mountain troops, heavy infantry for frontal combat, and longer-distance attack troops. Pikemen... Of course, Yuzai must reproduce the Macedonian phalanx. In this era where they can only roar and charge head-on, the heavy Macedonian phalanx certainly has a huge deterrent effect.
The battles of the ancient times must be defeated by the fighting methods of the classical era, and the battles of the classical era must be defeated by the fighting methods of the feudal era. This is the crushing of the times.
The method of war changes and escalates while being constantly rubbed and crushed. The only difference is whether I rub against others or others rub against me...
In addition to cavalry, mountain soldiers, infantry, and spearmen, there are also archers, artillery, and engineers.
and two new special operations units.
Some of the heavy steel poured out of large iron smelting plants is used for technological upgrades, and some is used to create new steel-making facilities, but a large part is used to make armor. Heavy armor requires strong strength and physical fitness. Only those who can wear it, and holding pure steel weapons in their hands, this army is several times more powerful than the "iron armored army" that was created in the first time!
Received troop upgrade!
Iron smelting! ——The art of steel filling!
In the original war with the Shu tribe, the incomplete iron armor was worn on the body. It had beaten the Shu tribe to pieces at that time. They shouted that it was the resurrection of the eighty-one brothers of Chi You. But now this new iron army has a thousand people. .....
Yan Zai decided to plagiarize the name of "Trapped Camp" again. After all, this steel army rushed into the enemy's army. In this era, even if the opponent has mastered bronze smelting or possesses divine copper weapons, it is impossible for them to be like this. Criticize Iron Warrior's opponents.
The remaining second special force is also equipped with steel weapons. There are 300 people in it. They wear white linen robes and bows. They have feathers on the back of their armor. In ancient times, those who wore feathers represented power. People, once the feathers of the god Chi Guo were plucked off by Ju Liang and he became angry.
This special force is responsible for close guard and rear defense operations as well as support operations. He calls them the "Habayashi Army"!
In addition to the original special mountain army "Wu Dang Fei Army", as well as the infantry corps of 2,000 people and the artillery corps of 200 people, these five troops are the next key equipment armies in Hongzhou, composed entirely of off-duty soldiers. !
These soldiers will no longer perform any production work, their mission is to "fight"!
Outside the martial arts arena, Gugu and Jiaojiao were shocked when they saw the feathers on the heads of the warriors.
They took out the gale feathers from the chicken feathers and inserted them into the chicken feathers on their heads. Then the two chicks started to perform a strange fat dance, as if to celebrate the appearance of so many people with chicken feathers on their heads.
Later, in the military camp and martial arts venue, in this vast wilderness, people began to practice according to the previously divided areas. There were also strong people from here, such as Li Qizi, Chu Qin... .
As for Hongchao, he seems to have been seriously ill recently. He was possessed by a female ghost before, but now he is starting to show side effects. He can only go to the school and the medical center to seek treatment from Lingshan wizards, especially Wu Xie, who is good at dancing.
The special operations corps naturally has special training methods, and other arms have officially begun winter training. In ancient times, there was not enough productivity to support retired soldiers. There are very few retired soldiers in Hongzhou, but now there are fully 10,000 who have begun training. More than one person.
That powerful and powerful voice roared throughout the sky.
War is the highest form of struggle between political groups...it is the highest form of struggle between ethnic groups, tribes, countries, and alliances, and it is the most violent and direct means of resolving disputes.
Sun Tzu said: "Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the path to survival. We must pay attention to them."
[War is a major national event. It is related to the life and death of soldiers and civilians, and the survival of the country. It must be carefully investigated and studied. 】
Therefore, we have to fight and rectify our armaments. Such tribes and countries will inevitably perish. The prerequisite for turning swords into plowshares is to have a sword in hand.
They moved in an orderly manner and began to practice. Their knives and spears were waving in the strong wind, artillery and bows and arrows were raising clouds of dust, their feathers and white clothes were hunting, their iron armor was clanking and beating, and the cold light was cold under the light of their swords.
There is wind on your shoulders, and dust outside the wind. The dust rises high into the sky, and the more distant upper level is the boundless starry sky! There are always people knocking on the mountains, there are always people roaring like thunder, there are always people washing away the mud and fading away the ignorance. He waves the weapon in his hand, the ax falls, the steps rise, thus shaking the world.
...........
"More people are needed for production...."
After all, there are no high-yield crops such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes in this land. The population of Hongzhou is actually very large. One hundred thousand people is already quite a lot. However, in the Central Plains, there are some large tribes, and the population of a single tribe is more than As high as the entire Hongzhou state...it is the Gonggong clan.
The Gonggong clan enclosed land and water. Their own tribe thrived in a safe area and were not afraid of the threat of floods. Natural disasters that reduced the population had less impact on them. Therefore, it took hundreds of years to accumulate so many people. Compared with the Central Plains In other areas, a few thousand people would be considered an upper-middle tribe, and a population of twenty or thirty thousand people would be considered a large tribe. The Gonggong clan's population was already truly terrifying.
Having a huge population means that the more productive the opponent is, the greater the proportion of warriors, and the more vassal claims it obtains. This is why Gonggong dares not to give Tao Tang face and rebels in person. , because he feels that his strength is enough.
If the population increases dramatically, massive productivity and research power will be gained, and agricultural production will also advance rapidly. Therefore, senior officials at the Hongzhou headquarters are already discussing whether to include the tens of thousands of laborers in the prison village. See it as productivity?
Defeated people, as productive forces, are likely to cause social unrest, not only for safety reasons. Restricting the scope of activities is obviously not a good idea, because people can run away, and toes are not for buckling.
One or two thousand people may still be able to stand it, but tens of thousands of people can't stand it. Once they run out, it will be a riot.
If they are turned into a friendly camp, then Hongzhou can instantly gain a large amount of productivity. However, some opponents said that these people are the best labor force to pave roads and open mountains, but not for agricultural production. If there is any problem, Hongzhou will Many people in the state will be killed by them.
So some people think that these reform-through-labor prisoners might as well be used as slaves, but this idea is just a thought. There are many people in Hongzhou now, and many of them are slaves, or are not interested in and extremely disgusted with the slavery system. The general will of the people is that they do not like the slavery system. In this era, slavery has gone from being a bloody plunder in ancient times to being later denied by the ancestors and leaders of the past generations, and now it has generally become a kind of political correctness.
It's like attacking an enemy's tribe and giving them two choices, one is to become slaves and the other is to be exiled and migrate. This is a consciousness unique to ancient China. Its sacrifices and people must not be destroyed...at least on the surface. Beautifully done.
Qi killed Boyi, but did not destroy his descendants for sacrifice; Shang Tang destroyed Xia, but also did not destroy the sacrifice, and also rewarded their descendants, but did not dare to use them as slaves, and did not directly kill Xia Jie but exiled him to starve to death; King Wu attacked Zhou and forced him to death, but he still made Wu Geng a prince and did not interfere with anything under Wu Geng's rule.
Only if there is an endless fight, the people of this land will shout such cruel words as "Destroy their country, end their history, destroy their species, and exterminate their descendants."
————
Regarding the discussion on productivity and prison villages, the outcome is still uncertain and can only be put on hold for the time being. Anyway, it will take several years for the disaster caused by the flood to be solved, and a solution can always be found.
Compared to the Hongzhou area, on another piece of land, there are a group of equally powerful people gathered in the vast Daze mountains and fields. The water is filled with warm clouds in winter. Dongting Lake, a land given by heaven, nurtures With the powerful force of Sanmiao...
And Sanmiao seems to be undergoing a self-transformation, that is, changing the social system...
However, things didn't seem to be going smoothly.
In the mountains and fields around Dongting Lake, the Miao people carried out the autumn harvest and began to hide for the winter. In the huge leader's shed, the fire pit emitted a not too bright light. The leaders gathered here and stared at the "flat hat" in front of them. Crown of Heaven", his eyes are fiery and full of ambition.
This is something that only the co-owner of the world is qualified to wear.
