"Why do I remember that there is a saying that the Zhao family was divided into the Jin Dynasty and established the Zhao Kingdom, and was later succeeded by Handan Zhao as the king?" Zhiyao didn't quite remember where he had read the relevant statement, and he didn't know whether it was true or false.
.
However, once "Handan" fell into the hands of the Zhi family, even if Zhi Yao failed to monopolize the Jin Kingdom later and had a share of the Zhao family in dividing Jin, "Handan" would already belong to the Zhi family. Zhao Yang's influence on Handan Zhao
Disgust will no longer be absorbed into the Zhao family.
This will be proven later.
Zhiyao was given the task of taking over "Handan". Based on the fact that just training is just training, she thought that she should have a long-distance training and decided to bring the trainees who had not been eliminated.
If it were normal, even if the soldiers were concentrated in one place and all materials could be deployed from the warehouse on the spot, the troops would still need at least a few days of preparation time before they wanted to set out.
If the army is temporarily recruited, the recruitment process alone will take at least a month. The reason is that it takes time to convey the recruitment order, and it also takes time to gather soldiers from all directions. When they arrive at the place, it is indispensable to replenish personnel and materials.
Zhiyao received instructions to receive "Handan". From the time he issued the order the night before to the departure of the army near noon the next day, the time it took was far less than normal.
"Every 'soldier' in the army is different!" Zilu stood on the chariot and blew the wind, which was still a bit hard to accept for a long time.
Zilu once spent eight days gathering an army ready for the expedition and took them to counter the rebellion.
Don't think that eight days is a long time. Considering the efficiency of the late Spring and Autumn Period, it only took eight days, which can be said to be extremely fast.
Therefore, that was also the achievement that Zilu was most proud of. The most important thing was that they won that expedition.
It is normal to take troops away from the training base in a shorter time.
After all, soldiers are already in an organized state, and there are enough military supplies in the base, right?
However, the order was given overnight and the troops were dispatched immediately the next day. Both the speed and efficiency were astonishing.
Zilu thought about it and found the key. It must be because of the role of that group of grassroots officers, and the role was surprisingly great. Otherwise, whether he could conquer the entire army in just one night would be a problem.
"The Jin army has always been famous for its command and prohibition. We knew how powerful the Jin army was before. Zhi obviously took this advantage to a new level by using outstanding officers." Zilu was obviously one of the nobles of the Jin state.
, I still regard myself as a Lu person.
In fact, there are not many people like Zilu. Many people defect to new countries, and the speed of ideological change cannot be too fast.
The fundamental reason why Zilu was like this was because of the teacher he respected very much, that is, Confucius was a native of Lu.
It may take a long time for Zilu to consider himself a Jin person, or he may consider himself a Lu person all his life.
Regardless of whether he was from Jin or Lu, the master-slave relationship between Zilu and Zhishi was not severed. He could only work for Zhishi, and this was a difficult thing to break.
"Spears and axes are mainly used to break armor. Currently, only Chu State has heavy infantry. Among the other countries, Qi State, which has the ability to equip it, has not tried to form heavy infantry. However, the Wei family of Jin State has a large-scale heavy infantry..."
Zilu was so tired that he didn't realize that his thoughts were wandering.
Zilu was not wrong!
Nowadays, the only heavy infantry in the true sense is Chu and Wei. Soldiers from other countries or families who wear more layers of armor are not serious heavy infantry. The difference lies in the length of time they can last for a long time in combat.
The most obvious difference is that the Chu State's heavy infantry called "Left and Right Guang" and the Wei family's heavy infantry can both go into battle after long marches. Soldiers from other countries and families wearing several layers of armor cannot do this.
!
Zhiyao also needs to train heavy infantry belonging to the Zhi clan. The basic requirement is that they can march at least thirty miles with a full load before going into battle.
There is no way that the Zhi family has lower requirements for heavy infantry than the Wei family. How many generations has the Wei family explored and how many secrets of training and food matching have the Wei family mastered? The Zhi family only formulated such a plan in Zhiyao's generation.
The standard is quite high.
The base for military training is in the Taihang Mountains, which is actually not far from "Handan".
The Taihang Mountains are very vast. In technical terms, the area chosen by Zhiyao for military training is in a low-mountain and hilly area. Beyond the military training base, there is a basin to the east, and "Handan" is located in that basin.
"Handan" in the current era is not a beautiful place. There are continuous mountainous areas in the west and north, a basin in the center, and a plain to the east.
The capital Zhiyao identified was not the city built by Handan Zhao. Handan Zhao chose to build the city in the hilly area of the basin. In fact, their family was not large in size and most likely had not thought about expanding the city. The terrain was not the reason.
So you care.
If the Zhi clan can establish a country in the future, Zhi Yao's ideal capital city will not be the current city, and it will definitely need to be moved to the southeast.
The reason? The "Handan" built by Handan Zhao was too small. How could it be a capital with such a small area?
If that day comes, the city built by Handan Zhao will be used as a satellite city and will still be called "Handan", while Zhi's capital will have other names.
During the hurrying stage, they marched in a fighting posture.
What does it mean? It means that except for the scouts sent out by the reconnaissance committee, the soldiers are wearing armor and rehearsing encounters with enemy troops from time to time.
Many people who had never experienced anything like this were driven almost crazy by Zhiyao.
If you do this, it will not only be a physical load, but also your mind will be tense at any time and at any time. People with low mental endurance will definitely suffer from neurasthenia.
"Three hundred and twenty-seven will be eliminated today." Zhi Xuwu said and yawned.
Last night, it was Ji Xuwu who led the team that attacked the camp, and was also responsible for deciding who would be eliminated.
Zilu also looked like he was sleep deprived. He suppressed his sleepiness and reported: "Two hundred and forty-two people have been eliminated from our office."
He was the defensive side last night.
Such things happen anytime and anywhere on the road, not only at night but also during the day.
Those who are eliminated are given various reasons. Not only soldiers, but also officers will be kicked out once they are deemed unqualified.
Because people are being eliminated every day, Zhiyao also learned the lesson from the last time. Next, he wanted to give those who stayed a sense of urgency and created a set of rules for "resurrection".
The so-called "resurrection" simply means that those who stay temporarily do not necessarily lose the risk of being eliminated, and those who are eliminated can also squeeze in again with their own efforts.
After this set of rules came out, many people were shocked again, especially Zilu who began to realize that he had guessed something wrong. For example, the training book was probably written by Zhiyao personally, and was not accumulated in the long history of the Zhi family.
This is actually because Zilu is a little slow-thinking. He had discussed it with Zhiyao many times before, but he did not think that Zhiyao was learning from experience before writing a training manual.
Practicing while walking, it took them nearly a month to cover the distance of 120 miles. Zhiyao had to stop struggling later, otherwise it would take even longer.
Zhiyao didn't bother anymore because she thought enough was enough. It was because the season was in a transitional stage. The melting ice and snow made the weather turn colder. The road conditions along the way became worrying, and it would soon enter the rainy season.
The west and north sides of "Handan" are actually not bad. Mountainous areas are classified as mountainous areas and the roads are difficult to walk; the south side is an environment with less mountains; the northeast is an area full of swamps; and the east side is a plain.
The best environment.
As for "Handan" itself? It is located in a basin. During the normal rainy season, water accumulates everywhere. Once the rainy season is long and heavy, water from the east, west, south, and north will flow toward the basin.
This will leave most of the area submerged in water.
Now you know why Zhiyao didn’t choose the city built by Handan Zhao as the capital, right? Disliking that the city was too small was only one of the factors, and more importantly, he didn’t want the capital to be in a place where floods may occur at any time!
It must be said that the Zhi family had fiefdoms in the north and northeast of "Handan", which is considered modern "Hebei" in terms of geographical location.
In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the climate and environment of Jin State were actually similar to those of Guangdong Province, except that it would snow in winter.
The current Hebei is really not a good place. The most intuitive thing is that most areas are covered with swamps, and the areas that are either swamps or dense forests.
Do you know how difficult it is to develop a place full of swamps and forests? With so many modern engineering equipment, it is very difficult to develop virgin forests, not to mention the Spring and Autumn Period when everything relied on human power. Zhishi does not spend a hundred
It would be impossible to develop it in more than a year!
One day, there was a hazy drizzle in the sky, and the Zhao soldiers standing guard on the "Handan" city wall saw a black line appearing at the end of the land in the northwest.
Because it was raining, the line of sight was actually affected. By the time Zhao's soldiers noticed that a large army was approaching, the troops led by Zhiyao had already approached within five miles of "Handan".
Because the Zhao soldier who noticed the situation did not know the ownership of the forces approaching the army, he must have reported it urgently.
The person in charge of "Handan" waiting for the handover was Gubu Ziqing. After receiving the report, he made some guesses and ordered the whole city to be on alert.
In fact, there is nothing that can be done. Who made the war between the Zhao family and the Fan family reach a stalemate? God knows whether the army approaching "Handan" belongs to the incoming Fan family.
When Zhiyao was about three miles away from "Handan", he sent someone to contact him, and waited for a reply before re-leading his troops and continuing the march.
Gubuziqing personally greeted Zhiyao at the city gate, and when he saw Zhiyao, he would definitely come up to greet her.
"this……"
Gubu Ziqing was originally looking at Zhiyao, but it was difficult not to be attracted by the Zhishi soldiers wearing new military uniforms, and he was a little confused for a while...
