Liu Lin saw that the farming affairs and the trading in Shanggu were on the right track, so he selected a group of skilled craftsmen in Youzhou to make armors and weapons from the original iron and iron of Youzhou Prefecture.
It is rich in salt and iron, but there have not been enough people to dig it. Although it is still the case now, Liu Lin wants to find someone, but it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. After all, there are not many people in Youzhou, and money and food are scarce. Now in order to cope with the coming chaos, he has to
Without farming, if you continue to mine iron ore, you won't have the strength. Only now does Liu Lin feel that it is better to have more people.
Youzhou is rich in iron and iron, so there will be many forging masters. There is no shortage of these people in Youzhou. Within a few days of Liu Lin asking Liu Yu to give the order, hundreds of people were gathered together. Liu Lin was quite satisfied with these forgings.
The masters divided the work, just like the assembly line operations of later generations. Each person was only responsible for one thing. In this way, the work efficiency was greatly improved. At the same time, Liu Lin also asked these masters to engrave their own signatures on every manufactured thing.
name, if a soldier loses his life due to poor forging in the future, he can use this method to hold him accountable. As soon as this method came out, everyone was very serious about what they forged, and they were deeply afraid that this would be the future for the young master to put his sword on.
on his own neck.
It only took more than half a month for the Youzhou Forge to create Liu Lin's armor and weapons. These armors were worn all over the body. Only one eye was left when wearing a helmet. The whole body was well protected, including the horse.
Liu Lin also made horseshoes for the horse to protect the horse's four feet. At the same time, he also made saddles, stirrups and other equipment on the horse's back. These creations suddenly attracted all the officials in Youzhou.
Everyone became a sensation, because the application of this kind of thing is definitely a reform of the military. Therefore, Liu Lin's name is known to everyone in Youzhou and everyone praises his magical power. Some people even spread the word about Liu Lin's deeds in Luoyang.
After he came out, Liu Lin's reputation in Youzhou was extremely high for a while.
Because of the limited number of horses, even though some horses had been exchanged from the grassland, the horses Liu Lin required were of high quality and must be of the highest speed and strength. Therefore, they had been trading in Shanggu for several months and could barely make up the money.
After gathering 500 horses, Liu Lin found slightly inferior horses from other places to travel, and obtained a total of 1,000 horses. With these 1,000 horses, Liu Lin began to follow his route of elite soldiers.
Liu Lin first selected outstanding sergeants in the army, but looking at the entire Youzhou Army, Liu Lin only valued three to four hundred people. Later, Liu Lin selected some people with outstanding abilities and strong martial arts skills from Huwei Village and the Liu family's servants to join.
He came in and formed a mighty army. This army only had 500 people, but they were all warriors worth ten or even a hundred. Liu Lin gave them the most elite weapons, the most sophisticated armor, and equipped them with
The two horses are also equipped with ponchos, so that the whole person and the horse are in a state of protection. These people usually eat better and sleep better than others, but they have to work much harder than others. Huang Zhong, Dian
Wei and Chu Yan were his commanders, and these three people often taught these people martial arts. In order to train them and let them experience the test of war and fire, Liu Lin actually asked the Huwei Army to encircle and suppress various mountain villages around Youzhou.
In the past month, all the cottages in Youzhou, big and small, have been wiped out, and a lot of good things have been obtained as a result. In the end, Liu Lin sent people out every day to investigate where there were bandits, but it was all in vain, because that time
The name of the Youzhou Tiger Army has been resounding throughout Youzhou. It is precisely with the existence of such an army that the public security environment in Youzhou has suddenly improved. Although it has not reached the level of not closing the door at night and not picking up things, at least it has the ability to steal, rob, and kill people.
The matter was over, and Liu Yu was quite happy about it.
Liu Lin lived like this for several months. At the beginning of 184 AD, the first year of Zhongping, when Youzhou had a great harvest, the Yellow Turban Rebellion that shocked the whole country began.
The giant deer Zhang Jiao and his younger brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao revolted in Jizhou. Zhang Jiao was called the Tiangong General, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were the Ren Gong General and Di Gong General respectively. They burned down the government, killed the officials, and looted everywhere. Within a month,
War broke out in seven states and twenty-eight counties across the country. The Yellow Turban Army was overwhelming, states and counties fell, and officials fled, which shocked Kyoto. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty saw how powerful Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army was, so he underestimated Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army despite his original plan.
The army hurriedly ordered General He Jin to lead the five battalions of soldiers from Yulin on the left and right to garrison in Duting on Wushen Day in March, arranging weapons and guarding the capital;
Captains were stationed at various Kyoto passes such as Xuanmen, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin. At the same time, various places were ordered to take strict precautions, and all states and counties were ordered to prepare for battle, train soldiers, prepare weapons, and summon rebels.
After receiving the edict, Liu Lin quickly suggested to Liu Yu that he post notices in all counties and counties in Youzhou, calling on the people of Youzhou to actively support the counterinsurgency. At the same time, Liu Lin asked his minzhuang who were originally stationed in the fields to also distribute armors and weapons to the army.
Sequence, although they have not experienced war, they are able to protect the land and bring peace to the people.
As soon as the notice was issued, businessmen Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were willing to help the court quell the rebellion. Liu Yu was overjoyed and kept the two men under his account. After all, these two men were quite proficient in merchant affairs.
The two of them had this intention originally and wanted to have a place in Shanggu. However, at that time, Shanggu was still run by the government and it was just built. They were still in a wait-and-see state. Now that the imperial court has issued an edict, of course they are happy to comply. Originally, Liu Lin
He couldn't remember who these two people were, but when he saw that they would not only provide money, but also weapons and horses, Liu Lin finally knew who these two people were. It was these two people who helped Liu Bei and made Liu Bei go to history.
stage, but now these two people are in Youzhou, in the hands of Liu Yu, I wonder what Liu Bei should do? When Liu Lin was still "sad" for Liu Bei's big-eared thief, the arrival of two people completely made Liu Bei
Liu Lin had no hope for Liu Bei because Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to join Liu Yu. After all, Liu Yu's kindness and prestige have resounded throughout Youzhou during the year he stayed in Youzhou. The most important thing is that Liu Lin has lost hope in Liu Bei.
It's his identity, that is, he is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, which is a righteous title. Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are dissatisfied with the court, they still have expectations for the Han Dynasty. This is why Guan Yu was dismissed by Cao Cao.
He captured Cao Ying and treated him like a brother, but he still could not move Guan Yu because their political ideas were different.
