Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 33: Wei Shu square

After the people were reorganized, they became one pawn, and Wuxi appointed Wang Sunqi to serve as the chief of the pawns as the township Sima.

Under the pawns, Zhao Wuxi set up three infantrymen.

In the early Spring and Autumn Period, the three armies of Zhuxia fought in units of "rides", each with a chariot with horses and horses. gallop and run", and cooperate with the battle. However, in the war at that time, the nobles on the chariot were mainly playing war games. The main role of the pawns was to serve as baggage soldiers and cheerleaders, and their status was relatively low...

In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the situation changed, and the aristocratic temperament of war became weaker and weaker, and finally evolved into an endless campaign to destroy the country. Especially in the development of the Rong and Di barbarians by the Zhuxia countries, there is no need to pay attention to any ancient military rituals, so the cheap, efficient and highly adaptable infantry began to gradually replace the chariot and become the protagonist of the war.

Zhao Wuxi heard Yang Tongrong say that in this era, in the south, there was a leap in the thinking and methods of warfare under the leadership of Sun Wu. In the Jin state, as early as 40 years ago, the Zhongxing clan and the Wei clan planned a military reform.

In the summer of the seventeenth year of Duke Ping of Jin (541 BC), Wu and Wei Shu of the Bank of China led the army to open up the northern border of Jin, and encountered a coalition composed of Shan Rong and Qun Di in Taiyuan.

The Taihang Mountains have overlapping mountains, rugged roads and narrow terrain. Wei Shu believed that Rong Dido on the opposite side was an infantry, while his side was a chariot. Fighting in the mountains, the chariots were difficult to maneuver and it was difficult to win. So he proposed to Bank of China Wu the suggestion of "destroying cars for action", transforming the chariot formation into a phalanx of infantry, so that the chariot formation originally composed of two, five, special, participating, and partial formations became one with the front , Defender, Left Wing, Right Wing, Front Rejection are formed in a coordinated infantry formation.

This is the famous Wei-Shu phalanx, which also opened the forerunner of the era of Chinese infantry, and has been used by the Jin army ever since.

After the victory of this battle, a large area of ​​northern land was seized by Jin and further colonized. In this wave of northward march, the Zhao family also obtained an important base in the future: Jinyang.

That's why Zhao Wuxi set up the arms mix like this: a chariot as the command vehicle, three foot soldiers as the main force, and two cavalry squires as the flanks.

Tian Ben, this vile boy, has been jumping in a row these days. He had a fight with Mu Xia first, and he lost the fight, but he took up the position of a corporal leader. Yesterday, he locked the door outside the village temple, beat up Cheng's Zaoli, and gained a bad name in the village. The wicked have their own grind. It would be very effective to let him clean up the rambunctious villagers.

I saw Tian Ben with his hands behind his back, his head held high and his chest raised, and he kept scolding among the crowd. When he saw someone making trouble and looking around, he just kicked him in the past, and he immediately calmed down.

Zhao Wuxi signed the paperwork yesterday, promoting Yu Xi and Mucha's two cronies as Chinese nationals. As the slaughter of a village and a gentleman of the Zhao family, he has this power, but he has to report to the lower palace for approval.

Therefore, Mu Xia also became the two Sima of the Infantry. He has established the position of the first expert of Jiao Di in the Zhao army in the lower palace. In addition, he is Zhao Wu Xie's earliest trusted confidant. This appointment is well deserved.

As for the well that doesn't talk much, but has a lot of prestige among the savages, after all, he doesn't know the bottom line, so Wu Xie decided to observe it for a while.

Yang Tong Rong's position has not changed, although the two former subordinates are now on an equal footing with him, but because he still has the status of a shirtless car right, as long as the shirtless can successfully win a large county of 10,000 households, he will have a high chance of promotion in the future. So don't care about it. Moreover, in the one or two middle schools of Yang Tong Rong, most of the Zhao soldiers in the lower palace were the backbone of the first soldier.

Of course, the appointments of these people were all given by Zhao Wuqi himself, and he still understood the truth that they should not be dummies. Only when the authority comes out of my own hands can the people below understand who their parents are and who they need to be loyal to.

At the same time, the superiors can't do everything by themselves. Although the current power is only a hundred people, Zhao Wuxi has also begun to figure out a little experience as a royal.

So, he silently observed Wang Sunqi's drills and did not interfere too much. As a traverser, he has been exposed to a lot of information in his previous life. After playing and playing the Total War series, he may have some unique ideas in his heart, but most of them are at the tactical and strategic level. When it comes to actual military training, he may not win. Over the period of kings and grandchildren.

He is a self-aware person, so not only did he not give random orders, but he also studied with an open mind in secret. After thinking about going back, I need to ask Wang Sunqi a lot, and at least understand the "Sima Law" written by Sima Rangju, a native of Qi.

Although these are all very basic things, there are still many simple military rituals that can be ignored, but with gradual accumulation, combined with the memories of future battles across the ages, maybe one day, you can command tens of thousands of troops without a shirt... um, soldier immortal Don't think about the rank of Han Xin, the more the better. Only a genius can do it.

Alas, I don't know if Sun Wu, the soldier, is still working with his father and son in the state of Wu. Has the trans-era masterpiece "Sun Tzu's Art of War" been written?

While studying, Zhao Wuxi also put forward his own advice to Wang Sunqi: "Wang Sun, although this time is in the name of preparing thieves, but you and I both know that within a hundred miles of Xintian, there are six ministers stationed here. With the strength of the entire six divisions, and the bravery of the Chinese people, there is no such thing as a thief."

With the armed forces of the six ministers, the imaginary enemy would naturally not be the few wandering thieves in the mountains, but other ministers. Now the state of Jin is divided into three factions, one faction of Zhao Weihan, one faction of Fan and Bank of China, and one faction of the Marquis of Jin and Zhishi. Who is stronger and who is weaker, as Sima Leqi of the Song Dynasty said, there is no way to tell... Everyone can only be careful, and pay special attention to the garrison training of their own villages and towns.

Zhao Wuxi continued: "So the villagers are all forced by Lixu, and their minds are on farming at home. They don't like the hard work of training, and the efficiency will be reduced. We might as well lure them with Cuju and make them play in the game. Learn how to cooperate with battle formations, and then practice the Golden Drum Banner and advance and retreat formations, do you think it is feasible?"

Wang Sunqi thought about it for a while, and showed a look of confusion: "The gentleman's idea is good, this move will make the villagers willing to practice, and this Cujuqi also knows that it is more popular in Qidi, but it is only a skill game for one player or three or four players. , UU reading www.uukanshu.com can't achieve the effect of military training!"

"The Cuju that the kid is talking about is very different from the performance and skill play of the Qi people, so let's say that today, Wang and Sun will first select two teams and issue weapons, and the kid will make a full frame another day to let Zhao Bing in the lower palace. Let's have a test and show Wang Sun the drill."

The Cuju mentioned by Zhao Wuxi is actually a combination of football and rugby in later generations, and its confrontation and intensity are naturally not comparable to the acrobatic nature of Cuju in the Spring and Autumn Period. As for China's competitive Cuju, it was formed after the Qin and Han Dynasties and used for military training. It was even listed as one of the military skills by Ban Gu.

In addition to the three infantry taels, this soldier also has a new army cavalry tael. Zhao Wuxi selected several young children and shepherds who were good at riding from the villagers, and merged with the young men brought by the lower palace. , with close friend Yu Xi as the two Sima.

In his heart, he couldn't help but secretly complain: The composition of the two cavalrymen is so pure, will it be spoofed and called the "Knights of the Shepherd" in the future.

Seeing the young, tall and straight teenagers riding on horseback, like the prototype of iron cavalry in the future, Zhao Wuxi also became interested, and personally led them on horses and saddles for a few laps around the threshing field.

Afterwards, he felt that he was not satisfied, so he simply let Wang Sunqi train his disciples like this. He selected Yu Xi and others from the cavalry and took Cheng Wu as a guide to visit the villages. It can also be regarded as the fulfillment of the duty of the town slaughter to "ask the local customs and customs, and the country suffers from misery".

Starting from the vicinity of Xiangsi, from near to far, they are Jiali, Douli, Sangli, and Chengshi Sili.
