Volume 1 Jiangdong Fengyun Chapter 3 Meeting
After Bai Tu was provoked when riding a "war horse" for the first time, he invited the provocative older loli to switch with him...
Of course, it was impossible for him to enter the carriage and squeeze with the people inside, otherwise he would have been blasted to pieces by Lu Bu by now!
The older loli found another warhorse and performed various difficult moves in front of Bai Tu with great interest.
She indeed rode much better than Bai Tu, and the older loli was also a good teacher. After receiving the praise, her attitude towards Bai Tu immediately changed and she began to teach him.
Well, this character of not being able to understand anything when being praised is obviously hereditary!
Bai Tu now knows that this older loli is Lü Bu's daughter Lü Lingqi, and the one he saw in the carriage before is the most beautiful woman in the Three Kingdoms, Diao Chan...
This is a little different from what Bai Tu knew. Lu Bu should be in his thirties now, older than he looks and younger than in history.
Moreover, Lu Lingqi's mother, Yan, had passed away long ago, and now Lu Bu has only one wife, Diao Chan.
Of course, in addition to this basic information, Bai Tu also started to talk to as much as he could after finally "catching" a simple-minded older loli!
Finally, he figured out many of the "weird" places in this world that seemed very "weird" to him.
First of all, there are the "mechas" of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and other generals, as well as the "war horses" of the cavalry. Why are these objects that look like they are full of black technology in the same era as ancient objects such as brick houses and coarse cloth clothes?
It turns out that these "military generals' armor" and military equipment were not made , but originated from "Castle Princess"!
This is also the biggest difference between this world and the world in Bai Tu's impression...
In every "city" in this world, there is a "city princess".
According to historical records, "Chengji" should be considered the incarnation of the city. Although she looks like a human, her life form is completely different from that of humans. She is more like the incarnation of artificial intelligence and supercomputers in Bai Tu's impression...
The ruler of the city can use "City Princess" to produce various armaments, and can even complete the construction of the city's fortifications... Fully automated production, as long as you have the corresponding technology and provide enough resources, you can obtain the produced armaments after a certain period of time.
The power of "City Princess" comes from all the people in the city!
The greatest significance of the existence of Chengji is to quantify "manpower". Every year, just like collecting taxes, the power of the registered residents of the entire city and the villages under the city is directly extracted as motivation.
Even in this world, there is no such thing as "ordinary soldiers". Starting from the lowest-level officer "Captain", only real "humans" can hold this position.
The most basic soldiers are actually the embodiment of "manpower"!
At the beginning, Bai Tu felt that the ordinary soldiers around him were a little dull, but because there was a real human being among every seven or eight people, he did not suspect that these "people were not human" and just thought that the soldiers were well-trained...
The "training" that others mentioned before actually refers to the process of selecting "military manpower".
Not only humans, but horses can also be extracted to extract power. Depending on the physique of the "horse", different amounts of the "horse" resource can be extracted. A certain amount of "horse" resources can produce "war horses"!
All the horses that have been selected will become civilian horses, and this process is also called "training".
Among the military officers, the lowest rank from the ninth rank Duwei and Junwei, that is, the two levels of officers with the military rank of sergeant and sergeant, may still be drafted, but starting from the eighth rank Xiaowei, that is, the captain of a hundred households, all the positions must be held by humans with full strength who have not been drafted.
So when in Lucheng, Bai Tu was mistaken for a captain of Lu Bu's army, while Lu Bu thought he was a defeated general of the Yellow Turban Army.
The lieutenant level can already wear "battle armor", that is, the half-body mecha, so Zhang Liao let him wear his own mecha at the beginning...
Bai Tu looked at these "soldiers" in amazement. They were indeed very dull and needed to be commanded by grassroots officers at all levels.
Although it will extract manpower and make ordinary people's physical strength become very poor and will also affect productivity, it is still better than letting them go to the battlefield with real guns and swords!
The customs are also very different from the "ancient times" that Bai Tu knew. For example, calling someone by their name here is not considered disrespectful. Instead, calling them by their courtesy name is considered a close name.
[No wonder I didn’t feel much war atmosphere from ordinary people when I was in Lucheng...] Bai Tu sighed inwardly.
For ordinary people in this world, although war may cause famine, and the rulers will increase the proportion of manpower extracted, causing productivity to further decline, the lack of the direct threat of "going to the battlefield" will ultimately make their lives much better.
As for why “rituals collapsed, music declined, and people’s hearts were no longer the same” when Bai Tu was starving?
That's all because of his bunny pajamas! Anyone who sees him dressed like that will instinctively avoid him!
Now I have changed into Lu Bujun's clothes...
"My lord has ordered that the entire army rest for half an hour!"
"We can finally take a rest!" Bai Tu sighed after hearing the military order.
"Your endurance is really poor..." Lu Lingqi said disdainfully.
"Don't say such misleading words!"
"Huh? What misunderstanding?" Lu Lingqi obviously didn't have such dirty thoughts.
The soldiers created by Cheng Ji are the same as ordinary people. They will also be injured, tired, and their morale will be affected. However, the factors affecting morale are much simpler in this world. "The general loves his soldiers like his own sons" and the like are useless here!
However, phrases like “I will lead the charge” and the army’s repeated victories will indeed inspire “their” fighting spirit and morale.
Even now Baitu saw that "they" were eating when they were ordered to rest...
"Is this... comic book meat? Compressed biscuits?" Bai Tu couldn't help but wonder as he looked at what they were eating.
"Hmm? You don't even know the 'food' that 'Jiuji' makes from food, do you?"
Oh, so these things that are made from the same mold are called "food and grass"? I really learned something new!
However, to real humans, these "food and fodder" tasted very strange. Real senior officers had their own special kitchens, and there were even a few special cooks in the army... Although they were defeated and retreating, Lu Bu's army was not too embarrassed at this time.
"Captain Bai, the lord wants all the generals above the rank of captain to come over to have dinner together and discuss military affairs!" A captain came over to inform Bai Tu.
"Okay, I'll be right there!" Bai Tu pretended not to see the nameless captain's dissatisfaction with his airborne lieutenant.
He even turned around and said to Lu Lingqi: "I'm going to your dad's place to have a free meal! You can continue reading comic books!"
"You are so rude... What do you mean by 'your father'? Shouldn't you call him Lord? And... If you can go and eat for free, why can't I go?" Lu Lingqi said as she went with Bai Tu.
When Bai Tu and Lu Lingqi arrived, they found Diao Chan was also beside Lu Bu. When Lu Bu saw his daughter, he said awkwardly: "Lingqi, I just asked someone to look for you..."
Bai Tu thought to himself that this guy must have only been thinking about his wife and forgot about his daughter!
If Diao Chan wasn't here, and Lu Lingqi came over at this time, Lu Bu could still tell her righteously that this was a military meeting, but now looking at Diao Chan beside him, it was obviously impossible to say this...
