Chapter 112 Visual Feast
Qi Wu said something and said something. Uncle Xiang and Zhao Wu quickly stared at Qi Wu and said what to say? Jin State wants to release Duke Xian back to Wei, not because his monarch smiled and accepted a beautiful lady from Wei. But out of respect for the interests of the Spring and Autumn Period, as well as the maintenance of the law, etiquette and order, etc. Don’t tell the truth. According to the real situation, the image of Duke Ping of Jin was completely destroyed. Zheng State should not look down on us.
Zichan sighed and hurriedly changed the topic and said: Then, please allow Duke Xian of Jin to watch the military parade at the same time.
Uncle Xiang's face turned shy and he replied softly: Of course, of course, we agree to the King of the Defense Kingdom to participate in the military parade.
So, Zichan said goodbye with the king of Lu. Ji Zha couldn't stay there anymore, so he quickly said goodbye. Shu Xiang sent the three of them out of Zhao Wu's mansion. At the gate, Ji Zha held Shu Xiang's hand. He said earnestly: My son encouraged you to be extravagant, and all the nobles and officials were rich enough to compete with the country. Now, Jin State has the power of ruling back and forth in the three families. Your uncle has always liked to say bluntly that helping that family work, and the family will inevitably be guilty later. When other families take power, you will be in trouble. Come to think about the future of your own difficulties.
Uncle Xiang laughed loudly, and he sent Ji Zha away. He turned around and told his teacher about Ji Zha's words. Zhao Wu felt even more funny: I heard that when Ji Zha was in Zheng State, he said to Zichan privately: Zi is in power, be careful with etiquette. Otherwise, when Zheng State will defeat you, you must carefully abide by the Spring and Autumn Rules, otherwise, Zheng State will be corrupt.
This is actually a nonsense, but what is even more ridiculous is that when Ji Zha left Zheng State, the farewell gift to Zichan was Wu Ling. Guess what gift Zichan gave back was what uncle replied: I can't guess Wu Ling, Chu silk, Qi silk, Shu, Mian and Lu silk, but these five kinds of fabrics that were as famous as the Spring and Autumn Period, oh. Now I need to add Zhao's cotton year Zhao's wool velvet. Ji Zha gave Zichan such a valuable gift, and Zichan's gift must be very expensive.
Zhao Wule was unsupported: Zichan gave back a piece of mahjong.
Shu Xiang also smiled: Wu Ling is most suitable for hanging, Ma Yi is most suitable for mourning, Ji Zha gave Zi Chan a gift for mourning, and Zi Chan gave it back, which was also very suitable.
The two laughed together, and Zhao Wu laughed wildly and said: I finally understand why Ji Zha is not willing to be the king of Wu. This guy is timid and considers the harm in everything first. He first thinks about avoiding the harm. He says it more clearly. Ji Zha is suffering from persecution. He is always worried about inexplicable dangers, always thinking about retreating and seeking the way to die. So he said nonsense to Zichan. He is also a special reminder to you. I also heard that he said the same thing to Sun Lin's father.
Humph, if this kid really takes over the king of Wu, I am afraid that the people of Wu will cry to death with him. When facing the powerful Chu State, Ji Zha will probably be even more pessimistic and desperate.
Uncle Xiang smiled and covered his stomach: The teacher said this well. I like to speak straightforwardly, because there is a ruler above me and shelter me from the wind and rain. If someone else is in power, would I still be so straightforward? Ji Zha didn't understand these things and even advised me to be timid in doing things.
Now is the era of change, and the change of our country of Jin is at the brunt of the rage. In this era, only those who are brave enough to pioneer can stand out. My uncle Xiang can be in it and lead the country of Jin forward. That is an opportunity for eternity. In the face of this rare opportunity, he is as timid as Ji Zha, who is like doing things, thinking that he can die in bed in this way. Such a person is just a waste, living like a walking corpse, what's the use? Life is not as good as death. What's the benefit of the country
Ji Zha, the first music critic in China who has been famous for his eternal history, was so unbearable by Zhao Wu’s disciples. I wonder how he should record this sentence.
After a long time, the laughter subsided. Zhao Wu suddenly remembered something and asked: How are your brother doing? I heard that he was assassinated on the street.
Uncle Xiang's face turned gloomy: I was in a hurry to report this to the ruling government: My brother received bribes from others in a lawsuit and awarded the fields under other people's names to the bribers. As a result, the lord who lost his territory was wearing a sharp knife and assassinated Shuyu on the street. My brother violated the law. I was going to punish his body and present it to the court as a warning for corruption.
Shuyu is the number one duck brother in China, the gay man of Zaying
When Fan Tian suppressed the Za family, the ambiguous relationship between Shuyu and Zaying almost destroyed the Yangshe family. Fortunately, Zhao Wu turned to Qi Xi to plead with him and escaped the disaster. Unexpectedly, Comrade Shuyu escaped the family's civil strife and became the number one greedy person in China. The word greedy man came because of him.
Zhao Wu thought about it: Shuyu is a nobleman. He has to worry about Yangshe's face being presented to the court. He will only present the corpse for three days, and after three days, you can take the burial.
Uncle said seriously: I have reported to my mother that after Shuyu dies, he will not be buried in the family cemetery of Yangshe family. My Yangshe family will expel Shuyu from the family from then on.
I remember that decades later, the king of Jin wanted to marry Wu Chen's daughter to his Shu Xiang, but was strongly opposed by Shu Xiang's mother. This was a knowledgeable and domineering yellow-faced woman. She always advocated not to marry a beautiful woman. A woman with a particularly beautiful appearance in junior high school will be a loser.
After Shuyu was born, Shuxiang's mother also predicted that Shuyu was too handsome and would inevitably ruin Yangshe's future. What she said is, according to modern language, is that beauties and beauties are scarce, and the people who grab books must have more than six people with cries and sacrifices and seven people will be poor to deal with. The family power of Yangshe's family is not enough to maintain beautiful women and beauties. In the future, under the snatch of each family, Yangshe will inevitably become a cup of food.
Now, Shuxiang's mother's words have been tested on Shuyu. It was Shuyu that caused Yangshe to face the disaster of extermination. Fortunately, Zhao Wu rescued him. But Zhao Wu's rescue was not aimed at Shuyu, but at Shuxiang. During that rescue, Shuxiang planted seeds in his heart and agreed with his mother's words, so he reacted violently to Shuyu's greed. However, he married the daughter of the first disaster in China, the daughter of his wife Xia Ji. She was beautiful in China. It will take time to test whether Shuxiang's mother's prediction on this can be fulfilled.
Zhao Wu patted Shuxiang's shoulder: That's right. I know that you are dealing with your younger brother yourself at this moment. The mood must be very heavy, but I admire your rigorous law enforcement. This is an era of turbulence. We are establishing the rules of troubled times. Those who are greedy must warn them to warn future generations.
Uncle Xiang's eyes were filled with tears when Zhao Wu said, and he turned his head and bowed his hands and said: The military parade is very complicated. There is nothing else to do in power, so I'll go back to deal with official business.
In December of the winter of that year, the Jin team finally gathered in Hulao City.
The number of soldiers and chariots in the military parade of Jin this time was slightly less than the last military parade, and the number of soldiers dropped from 2,000 to 1,500. However, the countries did not underestimate Jin for this reason. Instead, they became more trembling because the Jin team had already fully replaced the armor, new weapons, new armor, new chariots. Coupled with the new command system and the standing army system, the army of Jin seemed more murderous.
The military parade was held between two acropolis and one wu outside Hulao Pass. A new high earth platform was built in the city, which was suitable for being a parade platform. Duke Ping of Jin stood at the entrance of the hall at the highest point on the parade platform. On the left was the Bei who was sent by the Zhou royal family to watch the ceremony: Duke Shan Jing, and on the right were the princes of the various countries. Zhao Wu was on the next level of the high platform, while the rest of the Jin State were on the lower level, while the lower-level officers were waiting for orders in the army.
The military flag shook, and the judge Xia asked Zhao Wu for instructions: The pioneer is ready. Should the pioneer army be allowed to pass the reviewing stand?
Zhao Wu turned around and recounted the words just now to Duke Ping of Jin on the high platform. Duke Ping of Jin was whispering to Ji Zha about music. When he heard Zhao Wu's request, he casually tilted his words and continued his topic.
Zhao Wu turned around and ordered to Sima Qiwu, the right-handed army: the pioneer army will complete the team and pass the reviewing stand.
Jin State inspected near Hulao City. In the past, due to the chaos of Qi, the inspection locations of Jin State were located in the north, relatively close to the Pan of Qi. This time, Jin State placed the inspection location in the free city in the heart of the Central Plains: Hulao City. This city was built to intimidate Zheng State. It was closer to the south. As a result, everyone understood the subsequent strategic intentions of Jin State.
In the past, the inspection troops were organized by the upper, middle and lower armies, and then passed the review stand in a system. However, this time Zhao Wu arranged a charge array, and the pioneer army composed of elite warriors selected by each family first passed the inspection.
The entire pioneer army had 150 chariots. Each fifty were one, attacking echelons, passing through the reviewing stand with a military flag. In the army, ordinary infantry were wearing rattan armor woven with wooden willow branches, and the officers in the queue, regardless of the commander, the brigade commander and division commander, were all wearing gorgeous plate-type bronze armor. Although the armor was completely similar in size, every nobleman was tireless to carve complex patterns on the armor. In the sunlight, the patterns on their armor caused light waves to jump. The poisonous marching formations were like undulating sea water. They surged forward one by one, with an unstoppable momentum, and kept surging forward.
Zichan stood at the highest point of the stage, and Ji Zha watched the fun on the stage. He carefully observed and realized the mystery of the soldiers: Well, a weapon of the same length, a long halberd spear exceeds four meters, but the horizontal branches on the halberd spear are shorter and the spear tip is longer, about one meter five in length. It's just a strange thing, why the spear tip of the halberd spear is like a sharp iron stick.
Zichan summoned Guo Shuxiang to inquire, and Shuxiang was a pedestrian diplomat on the stage. Zichan asked: In the past, the long halberds and the heads of the halberds were all flat sharp blades, why did the Jin State's halberd gun be replaced with a sharp iron stick this time?
Uncle grinned: Our craftsmen have calculated that the spear tips are the lowest cost and the most convenient. In addition, although the flat halberd blade can cut, the sharp sting can also be done. Moreover, the length of the stinger is longer, which can prevent the opponent's weapons from being cut off, and when waving, the cutting power will be greater.
Zichan asked again: I saw that the horizontal branch of the halberd seemed to have a sheath sleeve, which was mounted on the halberd rod. One end fixed the wooden gun rod and the other end fixed the iron spike on it.
Uncle Xiang answered calmly: That's right, the craftsmen have studied it. If the gun bar is long enough, the armored soldiers on the chariot will not be able to hit the halberd. Therefore, the horizontal branches of the halberd can be discarded more and more for a few taros. In addition, using the iron station as the spear tip, the weapons made are much lighter, and the spear tip can be made longer until they are twice as long as the Chu weapon, which makes the Chu people unable to harm us. In this way, the horizontal branches of the halberd are even more useless and can be completely discarded.
Just to connect the spear tip and the wooden halberd rod, we specially designed such a dual-purpose device. It looks like a sheath sleeve, and it also has a piece of sickle without a wooden handle and covers the iron rod with a small face. The heart of the sky is not leaves. In this way, the function of the halberd is preserved and the shaft is connected, making the entire weapon more solid. In addition, it has another function, which the marshal calls it a standard piece. Effect: no matter where the halberd is broken in the future, it will be easier to replace the sword and facilitate maintenance.
Zichan said oh, and muttered: You said that horizontal branch looks like a sickle. I saw that horizontal branch is short, like a hoe.
The only function of the horizontal branch of the halberd is to use it as a horse to resist the carriage in the chariot charge and prevent the impact of the chariot. However, with the development of productivity, the people of Chunqiu have already been able to produce five-meter long spears or even seven-meter long spears, so the effect of the horizontal branch has become smaller and smaller. In the end, the weapons of the soldiers will transition to a simpler spear. This is the inevitable ending of the evolution of weapons. Zhao Wu just added this performance in advance. Chunqiu people are in it, but they actually don’t understand the meaning of doing so.
On the viewing platform, Zichan was the only one who saw the secret of the Jin army's weapon. Even the wise Yan Ying did not realize the secret. He just squinted his eyes on the stage, observed the Jin army's queue and examined the organizational system of the Jin army.
A trombone sounded, and under the steps, Zhao Wu shook his hand. Zhang Junchen, the military commander, immediately raised a ox horn to his mouth and blew the ox horn hard.
Under the stage, in the Jin army array, the bronze horn responded sharply and loudly. On the stage, the ox horn in Zhang Junchen's hand was vigorous and long.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Junchen waved a military flag, and the military formation under the high platform also waved the flag to respond, and then another bronze horn sounded.
Yan Ying narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: Well. The five armies are divided into five colors of flags. In each army, the soldiers' armor is painted with different colors of paint. The commander uses the voice to remind the troops to pay attention, and then waves the flags of different colors. The team below is now a green color of flags. I don't know which formation this team is.
Zhao Wu turned around and asked Duke Ping of Jin again: The First Division of the Shangjun to which his country's Shangjun Zuoju was affiliated, and requested to pass the inspection.
Duke Ping of Jin unconsciously answered: Shang Jun, I heard that they suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Quwo, but now it looks like the team is full.
Jinping spoke publicly, and Zhao Wu bowed and replied: The army is now full and requested to pass the inspection.
Ji Zha carefully, he interrupted and said: When the Pioneer Army passed, the trumpets that were blown seemed to have different tones from the Shangjun. Is these different tones because of the different instruments or different notes blown out with the same instrument.
Ji Zha's inadvertent question involved the command secret of Jin State. Zhao Wu did not answer, but stared at Duke Ping of Jin. Duke Ping of Jin quickly waved his hand: I'll allow it. Let them pass.
The flag bearer of the army commander lifted up the flag from the ground and tilted the flag forward. When the drummer saw the signal, Li Xuan slowly beat the drum. So, dozens of chariots entered the state in turn, and lined up slowly and in an orderly manner. Immediately afterwards, Yu Rong, who was driving the chariot, waved his whip and followed his movements. The huge upper army of the Jin army under the stage seemed to be performing group gymnastics. It was walking, and it was walking, and it was walking, and it was passing through the reviewing stand in an orderly manner.
Yan Ying turned his head and asked Zichan: In addition to changing the weapons in Jin State, the armor also adopts a unified standard, and the commanding instruments were replaced from bronze instruments to louder horns. What new changes have you seen?
Zichan replied in a low voice: It's even more neat. In the past, soldiers had their own weapons, and some of them were given armor by the state. However, due to the different styles of armor and weapons, the army composed of Jin State was neatly arranged, but due to the differences in the height and length of weapons, and the unevenness of the lords' wealth and wealth, the Jin army in the past was still a bit messy, although it was said to be neat, it still looked a bit messy.
But now, this army has adopted the standard armor, the same clothing, the same weapons, and the more uniform the team.
Ji Zha casually said: What's the use of being neat?
Yan Ying rolled his eyes: Wu Yue has many mountains and rivers, and he never set up a large-scale team. So you Wu people are used to small troops fighting, but have you ever imagined the scene of a thousand chariots advancing forward at the same time.
Because he is also a noble servant from the north, Zichan followed the tutor: the neat queue means that he can attack the young master at the same time at the same time. Just imagine how a thousand guns stabbed forward at the same time.
Ji Zha asked again: So, what does the same armor mean?
Yan Ying replied: It is easy to organize even if the team is broken up. You can immediately identify it based on the clothing and organize an army to counterattack. Moreover, because of the clothing, this army can also confuse the attackers, making them unable to tell who was attacked, and even more so that they can't tell the difference between our army's forces.
Ji Zha thought about it and he figured it out: I heard that the troops of the Wei family, Han family, Zhao family, each have their own characteristics. If everyone wears the same armor, then the opponents must not know which unit was attacking them and could not make targeted defensive actions.
Yan Yingzi gave birth to one head.
After a moment of stopping, Zichan walked to the stairs and said absent-mindedly: It's Zhao's turn. I heard that Zhao abandoned the chariots this time and would use cavalry to participate in the parade.
This is the time when a large-scale group cavalry team appeared in the military parade in the Spring and Autumn Period. If you want to know what happens next, please log in. There are more chapters, support it.
