After returning to the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lu Bu received several good news one after another.

Some time ago, he asked the steel factory to customize horseshoes and stirrups and other objects, all of which have been produced.

The horseshoe is composed of two layers, the one that touches the ground is a layer of hard keratin about 2-3 cm thick, and the upper layer is a living keratin.

The horse's hooves are in contact with the ground, and they will fall off quickly due to the friction of the ground and the corrosion of the water.

The use of horseshoes not only protects the horse's hooves, but also gives the horse's hooves a firmer grip on the ground.

Modern horseshoes, which are usually locked with screws and nuts, are permanent.

The horseshoe produced by Lu Bu through the steel factory is still a relatively primitive kind nailed with iron nails.

It's not that Lu Bu doesn't need to use more advanced technology, but at present, precision parts like screws and nuts can't be made yet.

If you want to make this kind of precision parts, you must have a lathe, and this can only be done step by step.

And after Lu Bu got the news, he couldn't wait to inform Zhao Yun and let all the war horses be equipped with horseshoes and stirrups.

At the beginning, Zhao Yun was still puzzled, what was the use of equipping these two things on the war horse? Is it just for the sake of good looks?

However, when Zhao Yun's war horse was equipped with horseshoes and stirrups, Zhao Yun rode on the war horse and experimented, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

War horses with stirrups and without stirrups are two different experiences entirely.

With stirrups, it's like a tiger with wings, and you can complete more actions that you can't usually complete.

Trusted and entrusted by Lu Bu, as soon as Zhao Yun defected, Lu Bu entrusted him with an important task, and Zhao Yun also worked hard to train Lu Bu to train an invincible cavalry battalion.

However, the training effect in recent days has been unsatisfactory and has not achieved the effect that Zhao Yun wants.

The reason for this is that these cavalrymen are not proficient enough in riding, and many movements cannot be done in place, or cannot be done at all.

But now with stirrups, the situation is completely different, and many actions that cannot be done normally can be easily achieved under the effect of stirrups.

With stirrups, Zhao Yun believed that it would not be long before this cavalry battalion could form a terrifying combat force.

……

With the concerted efforts of the whole battalion, it took only one day to install stirrups and horseshoes on all 3,000 horses.

The next day, when Zhao Yun was training the cavalry battalion, he immediately achieved immediate results.

"Haha, after having stirrups, it's so cool!"

"Yes, now that my hands are completely free, I don't have to worry about falling off my horse anymore!"

"Haha, now I'm a god rider too! Just one word, cool! ”

After the horses were equipped with stirrups, all the cavalry fell in love with this new thing at the first time.

During training, all kinds of actions that can't be done at all are now flying.

The transformation of various formations is also handy to implement.

Seeing this effect, Lu Bu couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

Zhao Yun said to Lu Bu with confidence: "Big brother, don't worry, in three months, I guarantee to train an invincible male division for my eldest brother!" ”

……

Next, Lu Bu began to discuss the issue of army establishment with Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and others.

Lu Bu found that the army at this time was relatively chaotic, which was not conducive to management.

There is also a more important point that Lu Bu is only a county guard now, and the military attache level that can be awarded is too low.

And now Lu Bu actually controls the land of Wu County and Huiji County, and under the conscription, the number of soldiers and horses has gradually increased, and there are currently more than 50,000 shrewd.

The current military establishment can hardly meet the current situation.

In fact, the restructuring of the armed forces is aimed at breaking free from the current shackles.

Guo Jia couldn't help asking: "I don't know what the lord has and how he is going to reform?" ”

Lu Bu couldn't help but say: "I am going to divide the army into military units, the smallest unit is a squad, a squad of ten people, and set up the positions of squad leader and deputy squad leader. ”

"Three and a half is a platoon, and the platoon has the post of platoon commander. The three platoons are a company, with the positions of company commander and instructor. The company commander is in charge of the military, and the instructor is responsible for the internal affairs of the company, as well as the ideological guidance of the entire company. ”

"Three companies are a battalion with a battalion commander and instructors. Three battalions are a regiment with a regimental commander and political commissar. Three battalions are a division, with division commanders and political commissars. The three divisions are one corps, with a commander and a political commissar. ”

"And each army is equipped with an engineer regiment, and the task of the engineer regiment is to build bridges in the face of water and open roads in the mountains. A logistics regiment was set up to transport grain and grass. In this way, there are about 10,000 people in an army. ”

Lu Bu adopted the three-three system system of the modern army.

The modern military system was formulated after a long period of exploration and development, and it is a relatively perfect system.

Of course, the model of the modern army was created with modern thermal weapons in mind.

Lu Bu also considered whether it would be suitable for the status quo of the Three Kingdoms.

However, considering the results, Lu Bu believes that there will be no discomfort.

For example, in ancient times, the Wushi system was implemented, and the five-five system was implemented.

And the number of people in a class set up by Lu Bu is twelve, which is actually equivalent to the number of two armies in the Three Kingdoms.

One Wu is five people, plus one Wu Commander, it is exactly six people.

And the number of people in a class is twelve, which is exactly the number of two teams.

In this way, there will not be much change in the number of people.

……

Listening to Lu Bu's restructuring of the army, Xun Yu, Xun You, and Guo Jia all showed all their thoughts.

Xun Yu asked Lu Bu with great curiosity: "My lord, I don't know what the main role of the instructors, instructors, and political commissars you are talking about?" ”

Lu Bu couldn't help but explain: "Instructors, instructors, and political commissars are equivalent to civilian officials in the army, and they are mainly responsible for the ideological work of soldiers. The first is to educate soldiers to have the belief of patriotism, dedication, and never betrayal, and the second is to have the courage to move forward bravely and dare to fight! It is necessary to keep abreast of changes in the minds of soldiers. ”

Xun You and Guo Jia asked Lu Bu a few more questions, and the more they asked, the more frightened they became.

Especially Xun Yu and Xun You, both of whom are good at internal affairs.

Originally, they thought that Lu Bu was just improvising.

Any reform of the establishment will take a long time to explore.

But when they heard Lu Bu's restructuring idea, they found that this idea was very mature, and they couldn't jump out of too much weakness.

However, Xun Yu still thought of a question, and couldn't help asking: "Lord, on the issue of the restructuring of the army, my subordinates think that the ideas put forward by the lord are relatively mature, but my subordinates still have something to understand, so I will solve my doubts with my lord." ”

Lu Bu couldn't help but say: "It's okay for Wen Ruo to ask. ”

Xun Yu couldn't help asking: "The army is the largest unit in the army of the lord, but once it is fought, it is often tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are dispatched, how to command it at that time?" ”
