If this army was not under the banner of the Zhi clan, and if Zhiyao was the leader, Gubu Ziqing would really suspect that what he saw was an unusually luxurious Hu army.
It was a rainy day march, and all the private soldiers of the Zhi family wore shawls, so you can still see the general style of clothing.
The reason why Gubu Ziqing had that idea was too simple. The soldiers of the Zhi family actually wore military uniforms that were separated from the bottom up, and the material seemed to have been reduced due to lack of fabric.
From Zhiyao's point of view of aesthetics, the new military uniforms are actually quite beautiful. The problem is that most people don't think so.
So does this one!
Every era has its own aesthetics. The evolution of aesthetics is due to changes in productivity. For example, modern people think that it is inexplicable to wear too bright colors. In the Spring and Autumn Period, they felt that wearing bright colors was very high-end because of the difficulty of dyeing.
.
The various kingdoms of Xia like to wear long sleeves because they think they are elegant, and the clothes on their bodies look baggy as a way of showing off their wealth.
Really not kidding!
The only free people in Zhuxia were the Guizhou head, that is, the free people at the bottom of the society. They were restricted by their property and had to live frugally, so much so that they were reluctant to add more fabric to their clothes, so the clothes they wore looked a little tighter.
.
No matter how much you save as a noble, you can't make yourself look less gorgeous. Not only do you have to choose "noble colors" to dress yourself, but you also want to add more fabric to the clothes you wear. As for baggy clothes, it is inconvenient to move? Nobles don't
You need to work by yourself, and it doesn't matter if you have limited mobility most of the time.
Zhiyao saw the strange look on Gubu Ziqing's face, and also saw the unnatural look on the faces of his own soldiers, and thought: "Sure enough, the right one may not be accepted. Any reform requires a certain period of adaptation."
After the change of uniforms, as long as the Zhi family's private army repeatedly takes advantage of the new uniforms in war, the Zhi family will gradually accept the change, and other families who see the benefits will try to imitate it, and new thinking and aesthetics will also emerge.
was established.
There is a truth that remains unchanged. Reform is usually led by a few people, who bear huge pressure to prove the correctness of the reform. Zhiyao feels that they can still withstand the pressure.
"Gongsun." Gubu Ziqing came to his senses and remembered that he should be greeted.
Zhiyao pretended not to notice Gubu Ziqing's gaffe just now, and did not choose to return the gift, but just smiled in response.
Gubuziqing didn't think it was rude for Zhiyao not to return the favor.
One of them is the heir of a big family, and the other is a retainer of a big family. There is a natural class gap between them, and it will not change because Gubu Ziqing is Zhao Yang's favorite.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was a matter of course for lower-class people to salute their superiors. Once a superior person saluted a lower-class person, the lower-class person would inevitably think, "Does this boss need my help in any way?" or
It's "Is he unhappy with me and wants to trick me to death?", etc.
Gubu Ziqing saluted again and invited: "Please enter the city, Mr. Zhi."
Zhiyao waved her hand behind her.
In response, Zhi Xuwu shouted: "Enter the city!"
Everyone responded: "No!"
During the entire process of entering the city, Zhiyao and Gubu Ziqing stood on one side of the city gate without moving.
"The new military uniforms look weird. Just looking at the various actions of the soldiers, they seem to be more refined and more flexible in action?" Gubu Ziqing didn't know what Zhi was doing, and began to think about why Zhi was doing what he was doing.
The first batch of troops of the Zhi family's private army to enter the city were the spearmen and shield soldiers. They received six months of training. The strict military laws gave them a strong deterrent, so that everyone learned a lesson and remembered what to do when maintaining formation.
How to do it.
"A spear and a shield? It was Chu soldiers who used spears extensively. Did the Zhi family get the use of spears from Chu? But why should they be equipped with a round shield? This round shield has never been seen before?" Gu Buzi
You have too many things to think about.
Zhishi's spearmen and shield soldiers entered the city in a strict formation. Not only did they appear to be in order, but they also moved at the same frequency.
The Zhi family's private troops were advancing from the rear. Their stepping frequency was synchronized with the contradictory group, so that the sound of footsteps was loud.
It was nothing if the Jin army marched at the same frequency, and it was difficult for Gubu Ziqing to have any psychological shock.
After all, the Jin army's "good time for leisure" is famous among other countries, and the people of the country will do nothing if they are surprised.
I don’t know why the sky has stopped raining.
However, the wet earth makes the ground softer, and it is hard not to become muddy if trampled too much. The marching sound of the army with the same frequency does not sound like the sound of drums, but a "pop" sound.
Subsequently, Zhi's private army continued to advance. Gubuziqing, who was standing at the city gate, finished watching the spear and shield soldiers. The second one appeared was the sword and shield soldiers, followed by the spear soldiers. Finally, the soldiers arrived.
Spearmen.
Because of the ongoing civil strife in Jin, even if the relationship between the Zhi family and the Zhao family has eased at this stage, they still have to be vigilant when taking over the city. The Zhi family's private army who came to take over "Handan" must be fully armed.
Gubu Ziqing saw paper armor, but he had never seen paper armor before. He didn't even know that there was such an armor as paper armor, and because of the cover of the cape shoulder, he ignored the difference between paper armor and other armors.
.
Leather armor is easy to identify. Gu Buziqing saw that the leather armor worn by Zhishi soldiers was different from the traditional style.
The reason why Gubuziqing was able to discover it right away was that Zhishi's leather armor was not layered like the traditional one. It looked like a smooth and translucent breastplate pattern.
What style is it? In fact, it can be regarded as a Roman muscle-leather breastplate. This is a technological branch line during the period when Zhishi was researching iron paper armor. It was found that the research and production process are too long, so I will not describe it for the time being.
.
Until the spear and axemen appeared, Gu Buziqing was shocked.
"This weapon looks too brutal. It's obviously aimed at the armor-breaking effect! The armor they wear is the same style as the leather armor they just saw, but this one is made of evil gold. Mastered by Zhishi
Have you found a new technology for smelting evil gold?" Gubu Ziqing's eyes nearly bulged out of his head.
Because it is very easy to rust, iron is currently called evil metal.
The main reason why evil gold has not been widely used is not only because it is easy to rust, but also due to immature technology. For example, when it is forged into a weapon, it is easy to break.
What is said here is that it is easy to break, including when it is made with inappropriate technology and an iron sword is cut with a bronze sword, it is the iron sword that breaks.
The progress of science and technology is definitely full of ups and downs. After long-term research and large-scale application of bronze technology, it will definitely be improved again and again in the process of use.
The development of bronze technology in the late Spring and Autumn Period, and even in the middle of the Warring States Period, actually reached a certain peak; on the other hand, people did not urgently study gold, and even just ignored it, which led to the advancement of iron tools.
It's really too slow.
It was in the late Warring States Period that iron tools really gained attention, but the iron tools at that time could only be said to be almost on par with the bronze technology that had reached its peak. Here is the fact that the research on bronze has brought this metal to its peak state as a weapon. For the late Warring States Period,
Iron, compared to its evolution into steel form, the iron in the late Warring States Period was at a beginning stage.
"The Zhi family actually specializes in armor-breaking weapons? The Chu State has been completely weakened. I don't know if it can get up after falling. The Zhi family is planning against the Wei family!" Gubu Ziqing came to this conclusion, thinking in his heart
There was a chuckle.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Gubu Ziqing saw that Zhishi was not only researching new weapons specially used to break armor, but also that Zhishi was researching heavy infantry. It was impossible not to think deeply about it.
From a certain point of view, Gubu Ziqing even had to think carefully about why the Zhi family would let the new arms appear in "Handan", and whether he was giving some hint to the Zhao family.
Zhiyao is not blind and can see the various changes in Gubu Ziqing's face.
When the Chi family conducts research, they actually need to consider the emotions of other families.
For example, the development of long-range weapons will be regarded as a challenge by the Han family. Similarly, the development of heavy infantry will certainly be regarded by the Wei family as a challenge. To a serious extent, the challenge can also be regarded as a provocation.
Zhiyao knew the rules and chose to let Lao Zhi's new troops debut in "Handan" after careful consideration.
The current situation within the Jin State is that the Zhi family has become the strongest in terms of size and influence, the Zhao family and the Wei family are suffering in various ways, and the Han family is still half-dead.
Now the Zhi family is doing some things that break the "rules", considering that Zhi Zhi is a "Yuan Rong" and the family's soft and hard strength is there. On the contrary, the Wei family has fallen into weakness, and the Wei family still has an alliance with the Zhi family, even if it is
Wei's reaction was a bit violent. Zhi's challenge would not rise to the level of provocation by not fully imitating Wei's and compensating Wei's in other aspects.
In fact, challenging is definitely an allowed behavior, but you have to clearly understand your own strength. Although your strength is not that good, you still want to challenge the boss. If you are beaten to death, you will be beaten to death, and you will not get anyone's sympathy.
In the past, the Jin family would not do anything to challenge in certain fields, but it seems that the Zhi family is going to break that tacit understanding?
Gubu Ziqing was a very wise man. He came up with an explanation for the Zhi family's behavior in a very short period of time, and decided to advise Zhao Yang not to ally with the Wei family again at this stage and do something to drive a wedge between the Wei family and the Zhi family.
The actions of the alliance must be carried out.
Zhi's private army entered the city and took over the city defense of "Handan".
During this period, Zhao's private army left the city from other gates, leaving behind unknown secrets, but on the surface, they must not leave a single soldier behind.
What is happening today is just a handover, and it is not equivalent to the Zhi family's private army taking over "Handan" and completing the entire process.
Later, the current head of the Zhi family needs to complete a written contract with the current head of the Zhao family, and the procedures on the monarch's side are completed before the ownership of "Handan" and "Pig" land can be confirmed.
The process of confirming the fiefdom belongs to whose family is actually of a legal nature, that is, the fiefdom replacement cannot be disputed for any reason.
As for whether a certain place can belong to someone in the future, it all depends on whether they can keep it.
"'Handan' is a good place!" Zhiyao ignored the drizzle and stood at the top of the city to look at the scenery, and began to think about how to find out the distribution of nearby iron ore and coal mines.
