The reason why Lu Zhe led the army to come to Ye County together is a bit complicated, and guarding against the possible sudden attack of people from Xianyang is only one of them, and he is more of a gesture.
What kind of gesture? It is nothing more than to show strength and tell the people of Xianyang that not only was he not wiped out in the turmoil in Nanjun, but he became stronger and stronger.
There are many levels of strength here, and if you want to give people a strong impression in the style of the army in any era, it is not dependent on a large number of people, but also needs to have a certain economic strength and industrial base behind it.
Showing strength is of great political significance, and the stronger the strength shown, the safer it is for Lu Zhe. This security does not mean that it will not be dealt with, but now that most areas are in turmoil, and the situation in the south has been eroded, even if Xianyang wants to make a move, it will become a rat trap.
And this ...... It is what Lu Zhe thinks, not the best and most appropriate method, it can only be said to be a strategy to delay time. What he lacks most now is time.
The armor worn by the hoplites is a good proof of their strength, and their armor is no longer a piece of armor sewn with cold leather and copper strips, but a combination of hardwood, crocodile skin, and copper sheets.
With Lu Zhe's approval, Mingguang armor's shoulders were linked with belts, and the shoulders were covered with animal skin patterns, and the belt drooped down with two large knee skirts, which were stacked with several rows of square armor, which was compared with the simple armor before. This kind of armor similar to the combination of Mingguang armor and step armor in the Tang Dynasty is very gorgeous, and the defensive power is even more incomparable to the previous simple armor. However, its weight is a bit sufficient, no matter how light it is designed, but it has to take care of its defense, and it still weighs nearly sixty pounds at the very end.
The Jumper's armor is a combination of leather and a small amount of metal, and this armor is really the style of the foot armor, except that it is sewn from some boar skin and ordinary leather, and there are several copper plates on the heart and shoulders to protect the vital points. The weight of this kind of armor is relatively light, only less than 20 catties.
Vine Armor ...... Belch. Don't talk about it.
Ge spearman and spearman Lu Zhe kept it as it was, which is not that they are not unimportant, but these two classes are different from the new classes, they themselves are a category that does not need armor, and if they are equipped with armor, it will be a bit nondescript. Crossbowmen also mean much the same thing, and therefore have no armor.
There is a reason why he can match the new soldiers with armor in two months, the lack of food in Nanjun has created conditions for Lu Zhe, and he almost mobilized the people of Nanjun to catch up with the system, and the people are naturally extremely cooperative in order to have something to eat. The manufacturing method is also in line with the techniques of the Qin period. It is nothing more than the use of a divided division of labor, and then combined together after the most sloppy.
It must be noted that Rao has mobilized all the people who can be mobilized, and the armor of Lu Zhe's department is still lacking. At the moment, those new classes are not fully equipped.
When such a group appeared in front of Zhao Heng, who came to Nanjun from Xianyang, the perception that Nanjun did not have many troops and was poor was overturned, and his shock was just imaginable.
There are very few armies in the current army that are fully armoured, and the only army that has appeared in history that is fully armoured is Wei Wushu of Wei. The number is only a few tens of thousands, and that is almost the effort of the whole country to do it.
Now, Zhao Heng saw a troop that was all equipped with armor. He could hardly believe that the place he had come to was Nanjun!
Well, in fact, there is no need to wear armor at all when marching in the county, Lu Zhe stopped and ordered the soldiers to put on armor when he was close to Ye County, and arranged the heavy infantry that looked mighty at the front of the troops, so what Zhao Heng saw was a force wearing gorgeous heavy armor.
"This ...... Who is this armor from? Zhao Heng instantly liked the armor on the heavy infantry when he saw it.
Yoshikan held his chin and said with a smile: "Ideas are self-conceived." β
"Oh......" pulled a long syllable, and Zhao Heng proposed: "Let's catch up, right?" β
Yi Kan bowed his hand, and felt very strange in his heart: "This 'doctor' is a little ...... How so? It's just that people can't understand, and it stands to reason that they should be confused and jealous after being surprised. Why does it seem that he is rejoicing in the strength of the main general? β
Hearing the commotion from behind, Yoshikan turned his head and smiled, and only after laughing did he catch up with Zhao Heng, who had walked a distance.
Ye County is now full of excitement, the local Qianshou Zhilu Dao has their own army pouring out of the county, and the garrison did not stop it, but just pulled up a human wall to prevent the Qiantou from attacking the army without knowing the severity.
Now, the head of the Qian, who was behind the human wall pulled up by the garrison, was watching the army in front of him from a distance, and as the number of Qianshou who came to see the scene increased, the discussion became a noisy piece.
To show off your strength is to show off, Lu Zhe has passed through many counties along the way, and he has never stopped the people from watching the army from afar, and even if the head of the Qiantou does not come to see him, he will arrange for local officials to organize it.
In the final analysis, it is the people's heart, and with a relatively stable life, the leaders of the Qianqian are naturally happy. And these Lu Zhe felt that it was not enough, he also had to show the Qiantou people the strength of the Nanjun army, use this visible thing to tell them the strength of the Nanjun, and then operate it well, not afraid that the Qianshou would not be attached to the current administrator - that is, Lu Zhe would have a sense of belonging.
Lu Zhe naturally saw the situation ahead, he first looked at the onlookers, and then turned his gaze to the people who were walking quickly.
"Hmm......? The posture is a little low, and there is no shelf to summon me to come forward to meet me, so it is not a high-ranking official. Lu Zhe couldn't help frowning, if he wasn't a high-ranking official, he said that Xianyang would not have any important orders this time, so it was impossible to judge what kind of attitude Xianyang would have. He looked at Wei Han next to him, "Order the whole army to stop!" β
A desolate trumpet sound was blown between heaven and earth, followed by the sound of "woo-woo-woo" echoing everywhere, and the whole army slowly stopped.
After the troops stopped, Lu Zhe said to the wing flail again: "You lead your own soldiers with me." β
Flails nodded in understanding.
At this time, Zhao Heng was already close to fifty steps. His eyes widened and he looked at the troops in front of him with some incredulity: "That's a heavy armor that I've never seen before!" Those men are armed with broadswords? After reading the heavy infantry, he looked at the jumping soldiers, but he didn't know the name of the jumping soldiers, and he felt in his heart, "Wearing armor, holding a round shield and a short sword, this kind of soldier is a little familiar, it seems to be the light soldiers of the Zhao people in the past." Merely...... The armor on their bodies is so beautiful! When he saw the rattan armor soldiers, he was stunned, because he didn't understand what it meant for the soldiers to wear plant-woven armor.
From a distance, Zhao Heng saw Lu Zhe leading people up and saluted. When Lu Zhe was close to ten steps, he bent down and shouted: "Zhao Shiheng meets Lang Jun!" β
Lu Zhe didn't understand why he was called "Lang Jun", he thought it was an official position of the Qin Dynasty, and he was surprised: "That is to say, the center has verified the previous military exploits, and sent someone to reward him?" β
"Lang" is a man, and "Jun" is an elegant name, according to the folk customs at this time, it is the name of the woman's family for her son-in-law. In other words, Zhao Heng called Lu Zhelangjun to express a meaning, that is, to reveal that Zhao Gao wanted to marry his daughter to Lu Zhe.
Lu Zhe stopped two steps away from Zhao Heng. He said, "No need to be polite", and raised his hand to invite Zhao Heng to take a walk together.
Only then did Zhao Heng stand up and look at Lu Zhe, he looked at Lu Zhe's face in detail, and commented in his heart: "The appearance is also ordinary. can't be called a beautiful man. Under Lu Zhe's false invitation, he followed the steps, and thought to himself: "What do you do depending on your appearance!" Let's first find out the roots of this man for my uncle......"
Lu Zhe brought Zhao Heng to the front of the heavy infantry queue and pointed to the neatly arranged military formation: "Is it majestic?" β
Zhao Heng, who was thinking about things in his heart, subconsciously looked at the military formation when he heard this. What I saw was a row of mighty sergeants with a height of one meter eight to two meters, and another group of heavy armor observing the heavy infantry, and nodded again and again: "Majestic!" β
Lu Zhe raised his right hand high. It was like a signal, the flags in the army were constantly shaken, and then 47,000 soldiers shouted loudly.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! β
Three shouts that shook the heavens and the earth, Lu Zhe asked again: "Is it mighty?" β
Zhao Heng understood a little, it was a gesture and oppression. He didn't come to embarrass Lu Zhe this time, on the contrary, with a special task, if he didn't want to be unfavorable to Lu Zhe, he naturally didn't have a ghost in his heart, he wished that Lu Zhe would be stronger, and nodded frequently with a very happy expression: "Mighty!" β
Lu Zhe saw the happy smile on Zhao Heng's face, and asked, "Did the government order send you?" It is estimated that this is how Zhao Hengwei could explain why this happened.
"Yes and no." Zhao Heng didn't need to be very respectful, but the troops led by Lu Zhe shocked him too much. He didn't wait for Lu Zhe to ask again, but said off-topic: "You have received all the letters to your uncle. This was to point out his kinship with Zhao Gao, and then said: "This time I came to the edict of His Majesty, and Heng was selected by his uncle as the deputy chief, and the chief officer is still behind." β
Lu Zhe could feel that Zhao Heng showed obvious goodwill, he only thought that the content of the letter had played its due role, and Zhao Gao was really pleased that there was a leader in the south who was inclined to him, so he would send someone to express his goodwill.
"The chief official is Wang Xin, who was appointed by the new right prime minister Wang Juan, he is Wang Juan's son and nephew, the lord is the duke, and now he is the general." After Zhao Heng gave a detailed introduction, he said: "He commanded 20,000 troops to escort 3,500 trucks of ordnance, and he should still be in Deng County on the border of Nanyang." β
"General Dian?" Lu Zhe wondered in his heart that there was such a general?
Zhao Heng explained: "This is a temporary position, and it will be lifted when you return to Xianyang after the reward is completed, and he is a general who does not have the authority to command the army." β
Speaking of rewards, Lu Zhe looked at Zhao Heng's eyes with a smile on his face: "Oh, reward? I don't know what the reward under His Majesty is ......? β
Zhao Heng, who was staring at him, suddenly felt a sense of oppression, and after he was stunned, he smiled and said: "You are very tactful, writing letters to the prominent ministers of the DPRK and the central government, it is also easier for the family uncle to operate." Besides, your merits are also real, and the reward under Your Majesty will be rich......"
Lu Zhe was immediately alert when he heard the phrase "real credit", which means that Xianyang has already sent someone to Nanjun to investigate, otherwise where would the "real work" come from.
The center has already sent people to Nanjun, and this news is not good news for Lu Zhe.
Namgun has been working on a major project since two months ago, when military fortifications such as forts and beacon towers were being built, and the plain between Yiling and Gangneung was not only repairing acres of land but also digging the foundations of the new city. The scale of these projects is huge, and it only takes a little investigation to know what the road is doing.
ββ¦β¦ His Majesty consulted with the hundred officials. An edict has been issued appointing you as the Governor of Nanjun, and the Lord is at least superior. In view of the bad situation in the south, he was recruited as a general in the south. Speaking of this, Zhao Heng seemed to be a little excited, "This Zhonglang will be a new military position after His Majesty's consultation with the hundred officials, and it is a military position second only to the general." You are still the first person to become a Zhonglang general, and according to the records of the historians, you are already a famous figure in history. β
When he was thinking about how Xianyang would treat himself who started the project without authorization, Lu Zhe couldn't help but hear Zhao Heng's words, "Ga!?" He was surprised. He vaguely remembered that Zhonglang would be an official position that would only appear in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was just a position to defend the palace in the early stage, and later evolved into a military position to lead the army into battle.
"Just waiting for you to officially take over. That is the governor of the southern county, although each southern county has a captain, this lieutenant official position is not uncommon at all, but you can arrange the defense of the southern county, and you also have the right to build fortifications. Zhao Heng said something meaningful, as if he was afraid that Lu Zhe would not understand, so he added in an accentuated tone: "This is what Uncle Jia specially fought for you." β
Lu Zhe immediately understood that it was Zhao Gao's people who had probed the project in Nanjun. If such an arrangement is made in order to cover up or remedy, and there is the position of a lieutenant, then it can be operated and the unauthorized start of the project can be diluted.
"Du Wei has the duty of defense, but he does not have the right to go to the battle, and the uncle went to exchange with the head of the Xu family. It was also proposed by the head of the Xu family to give the right to fight. Uncle Jia paid a lot of price and exchange for this matter, so he appointed you as the general of Zhengnan Zhonglang before Wang Xuan, who was still a national lieutenant at the time, reported to His Majesty. The more Zhao Heng spoke, the more serious he became, and when he saw Lu Zhe's moving expression, he was satisfied, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Don't let down your uncle's love!" β
Like? Lu Zhe suddenly remembered that Zhao Gao liked to say "people" very much, and it seemed a little sissy. Throwing away these strange memories, he said very seriously: "Since I am outside, the government order has a greater weight in the court. β
"No, no, no......" Zhao Heng was a little anxious when he saw that Lu Zhe would be mistaken: "Uncle Jia is a close minister under His Majesty." Speech has always carried a lot of weight. β
This time it was replaced by Lu Zhe who was stunned.
"Lang Jun." Zhao Heng said in a very heavy tone, "You want to become the Langjun of the Zhao Mansion, which was brokered by His Majesty." β
What do you mean? Lu Zhe, who knew that he was appointed as the general of Zhonglang in the south of the country, really thought that "Lang Jun" was the abbreviation of what others called Zhonglang General, but now it seems that it is not the same thing?
The word Langjun appears very frequently in Chinese history, Langjun in the Spring and Autumn Period was the title of a beautiful man, in the Qin Dynasty it was a son-in-law, and in the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty, it became the title of wife to husband.
Zhao Heng saw Lu Zhe's stunned expression and thought that he was flattered, and said to himself: "Your Majesty is also satisfied that you can clean up the situation in Nanjun in danger, and seeing that your uncle admires you, I think that my uncle intends to recruit you as a son-in-law, so I ......." Your Majesty's words are also very satisfied with your achievements in the south, and think that you are a capable talent, so you will conform to Your Majesty's good intentions. β
Lu Zhe was completely stunned, the First Emperor was not what he thought, he was actually satisfied that he could clean up Nanjun in danger, and while he was relieved to learn the attitude of the First Emperor, he heard Zhao Heng say that Zhao Gao wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law, and his face immediately froze.
Zhao Gao has an only daughter, Lu Zhe vaguely heard Xu Yang say that his girlfriend's name is Zhao Wan or something, and I heard that she is still a beauty. It's just, that's a son-in-law, if you understand it correctly, it seems to be a debt? What the fuck is this......
During the Qin Dynasty, the deceased, sons-in-law, and Jia people were the most lowly group of people, and their status was more despised than that of slaves.
Zhao Heng couldn't help but stop when he saw Lu Zhe's face deteriorate halfway through speaking, he could see that Lu Zhe didn't seem to agree with this family business, and the smile on his face slowly faded.
The wing flail who was guarding the side was completely stupid when he heard this, he could always think that his sister was going to marry Lu Zhe, and Lu Zhe had no intention of refusing to get along with his sister Yixiu. Now that he heard that the dignified Zhongche government order wanted to recruit Lu Zhe as his son-in-law, he looked at Lu Zhe with both nervousness and worry, he had no opinion on how many women Lu Zhe had, but he was worried that the daughter of the government order would not accept his sister, and when he saw that the expression on Lu Zhe's face became stiff, he was relieved and nervous at the same time.
In fact, Lu Zhe is now in charge of a county, and he will soon be the co-owner of Nanjun and Qianzhong County, and only one woman by his side is not decent. And this is also the consensus of today's society.
Lu Zhe asked expressionlessly: "Are you sure it's a son-in-law?" β
Zhao Gao, a dignified emperor's close minister, who is in charge of the CRRC Mansion and keeps the six seals of the Son of Heaven, said that he wants to marry a daughter, and the person he wants to marry can at least go around Xianyang. Zhao Heng felt that if it weren't for His Majesty's misunderstanding, he couldn't change it, otherwise it would not be Lu Zhe's turn to marry, and now he looked at Lu Zhe's attitude, as if he didn't agree? Not only did this surprise him, but he also began to grow angry.
"Uncle was half forced to do so, and half was satisfied with Lu Shizhe's performance after the turmoil in the south before he reluctantly pushed the boat down......" The expression on Zhao Heng's face also became ugly, "He dared to refuse...... No! It's not a prevarication, it's a refusal! β
"How noble is the daughter of my uncle, it is your honor to be willing to marry you!" Zhao Heng's tone had become stiff: "You heard the news that everyone envied that your face was so ugly!?" β
"Huh? Is it a marriage, not a son-in-law? Lu Zhe was stunned again after understanding, it was absolutely impossible for him to get into trouble, even if he would embark on the road of rebellion because of refusal, it was absolutely impossible to agree, after all, this is a matter of men's dignity. Hearing that it was a marriage instead of a marriage, he knew that he had misunderstood, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and his face returned to a smile: "The government order wants to marry my beloved daughter?" β
The continuous change of face made Zhao Heng a little confused, but he was no longer annoyed and angry when he saw that he didn't want to refuse. He seemed to think of something, and patted his forehead: "It was the constant words that did not reach the meaning that made Lang Jun misunderstand, Lang Jun Jue is a young man, he is both a lieutenant and a general of Zhengnan Zhonglang, naturally he is married to a daughter, how can it be a ......" The word "into the two words" did not come out. (To be continued......)
