Chapter 12: Lord Activities

China had already developed iron tools during the Spring and Autumn Period, but by the time of Emperor Wu of Han in the Western Han Dynasty, the quality of iron tools was actually not superior to that of other countries.

Emperor Wu of Han sent Zhang Qian to the Dayuezhi to join forces with the purpose of finding the Dayuezhi to join forces to attack the Huns.

After going through a lot of difficulties, Zhang Qian found the Dayuezhi people, but the Dayuezhi people had re-established their country and were named Kushan. They felt that Ah San was easy to bully and were unwilling to return east and fight against the extremely vicious Huns.

It should be to make the Han Empire fight with the Huns more bloody? Although the Dayuezhi people were unwilling to form alliances with the Han Empire, they provided their own metallurgy and forging techniques.

Emperor Wu of Han, who obtained the Kushan smelting technology, was very proud of his treasures, and the metallurgical technology of the Western Han Dynasty also ushered in new developments.

It is now the Spring and Autumn Period, and iron nature has been created.

If divided into one level, the metallurgical technology of iron in the Spring and Autumn Period should be just a very initial stage.

In other words, iron materials can be smelted from iron ore, but in terms of the technical process of making objects, it is not as good as the use of bronze.

Lu Wu witnessed the use of iron materials by craftsmen and found that even if the iron pot is made, it still looks loose and porous after repeated forging.

It should be because of insufficient temperature and insufficient forging, the iron material contains a lot of vein slag.

This kind of iron is called sponge iron in modern times.

"Don't think about modern quality..." Several plans appeared in Lu Wu's mind, thinking: "I remember some carburizing technology in the Western Han Dynasty, and there are also forging techniques, and repeated trials should be verified; I remember the Damascus sword manufacturing method very clearly. Some technologies can be used, but the iron ore in the Central Plains may not be suitable."

So, I just had to hunt, and Lu Wu entered the "inventor" mode again.

This matter is unhurried.

Naturally, Lu Wu would not really use a sword full of gaps, he brought a bow and an arrow pouch.

And there is another problem here.

The bow is not a big problem, the bow body looks quite fresh, and the bow string made of beef tendon is also very elastic.

The problem lies in the arrows.

"Is this a arrow?" Lu Wu held an arrow that was not straight at all, touched the wooden pole and thought: "Is this an arrow made by Pu Liu? It lacks mature craftsmanship and cannot make the arrow straight. There is no problem with arrowheads (arrows) and arrow feathers..."

The arrow is not straight enough, which means that there will be no accurate at all.

No matter how good the archery skills are, shooting arrows with no straight shafts is actually just a touch to hide, and there is no real accuracy.

Use Puli Liu as an arrow shaft, that is, a wooden arrow shaft, called a arrow.

Use bamboo or reeds as arrow shafts, called arrows.

The former has a relatively long range due to its own weight.

Because of its lightness, the latter has a relatively close range.

At the same time, lethality is not only about the arrowheads, but also about the arrow shaft.

Lu Wu had nothing to say about this era, and subconsciously began to think again in his mind, thinking about which tools to make to process the arrow shaft.

The old Lu family now has a total of fifty-eight warriors.

Eight of them were old men from the old Lu family, and the other fifty were given by Wei.

The warriors were gathered together.

More than half of the warriors from the Wei family had armor, and each of them had at least one metal weapon.

Most of the armor is woven with rattan armor, with a small amount of leather armor and no metal armor.

The weapons are basically long spears, with only a few swords.

The eight original warriors of the old Lu family looked at their new companions and then looked at themselves, and there was a worry on their faces.

Not to mention the gap in weapons and equipment, even in terms of physique, the gap between the two is a bit big, and they are a little afraid that they will be given up by the master.

The warriors from Wei's family were not sure whether they were excluding the "old men". They had already formed a column in a row of ten people in a row.

The eight "old men" stood on one side themselves. They tried to arrange their learning peers in a row, but they were still not neatly arranged.

Lu Wu arrived, inspected the warriors, walked directly in front of them, and asked, "People, take a step forward."

In the Spring and Autumn Army system, the only one was a regular soldier, and Xian was a reserve officer.

Huodi, of the fifty "newcomers", 31 took a step forward; only one of the "old men" took a step forward.

Lu Wu shouted again: "Soldier, take a step forward."

This time, no one moved a half-step.

According to Zhou Li, the minimum unit of the army is one "troop", but basically no action is assigned by the number of "troops", and at least one "two" is needed; that is, a chariot and twenty-five hiking infantry; a "pike" is composed of four chariots and five hundred soldiers.

Jin State no longer formed an army according to the Zhou Li system. The most obvious thing is that after arriving at the "brigade", the number of soldiers in the Jin army increased by three times, that is, to 1,500 soldiers.

There was a sergeant at this time, but no one was.

Five people form a "troop", and the commander who leads the team leader, combined with six people.

"Wu" goes upwards and means "two", which is the commander of twenty-five people. He is called "two Sima".

Lu Wu also made up for it and then roughly understood the military system of Jin. After shouting, he saw that no one came forward. I have to say that he was actually very disappointed, but he also took it for granted.

Wei can send warriors, but not officers.

“Excellent hunting this time…”

Lu Wu began to draw big cakes, and agreed that as long as he performed well, he would be promoted to become an officer.

At this moment, all the warriors were ready to do their best and wanted to perform well.

Regularly killing animals within the sealed area is one of the "activity" of the lords every year.

Otherwise, if there are too many animals, it will cause great damage to the farmland.

If you don’t kill all of them, you will naturally not do anything to kill the chicken to get eggs.

Not only will they not kill all animals, but they will also give up hunting and release animals if they are caught.

Suppressing fierce beasts will be carried out from time to time to prevent the beasts from hurting and eating people.

Fifty-eight warriors are the main force in the hunting, and more than 300 people of men, women, young and old, will participate in this "activity".

The old Lu family had no chariots or even few horses, so they drove the animals from a large area to the "pocket" they prepared completely by hiking.

A circle is formed and then driving animals or beasts to a place is to hunt.

Lu Wu didn't know that he was not active, but when he led his people to hunt him down, he found that there was a tiger in the small mountain in his seal.

He also saw the wise man of warriors while commanding.

Five samurai teamed up to hurt one person, and one of them successfully stabbed the sword in his hand into the tiger's mouth.

After they killed the tiger, they carried the tiger's body to the edge of Lu Wu.

Even though Lu Wu witnessed the whole process, they proudly told the process of hunting in a lack of language, showing their bravery to the lord, and reaping glory in front of the rest of the warriors and people.

The reason why the warrior chose to take the risk of stabbing through the tiger's mouth was to offer a complete tiger skin to his lord.

The hunting took half a month, and in addition to a tiger, they also killed a bear and hundreds of other animals.

After the results of the hunting were processed, Lu Wu began to reward them based on the merits.

The meat will be distributed, and the amount obtained by the warrior is more than that of the people, and the rest will belong to the lord.

Leather can be divided or not. Lu Wu asked Lao Zhuo’s opinion, and the several officers promoted need to be given generous gifts, but the rest are not used.

"Lord, the servant is already haggard again." Lao Zhuo said very seriously: "Lord should accept the wise."
