Volume 1 The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 125 The Noon Offensive (15)

There are two main methods used by Jiang Yugang to solve the problem of hunting teams compared to hunters in the past, the first is to set a hunting index for hunters, which is the same as the number of hunts they hunted for the purpose of hunting alone in the past, and even compared to some famous hunters, or more diligent hunting that completely relies on hunting to maintain the livelihood of a family, this indicator may be less than the number of hunts they hunted in the past.

For hunters who do not meet the required number, they need to increase the hunting time, which is not capped, and is used for training purposes, and the hunters in the training time are still only paid under normal circumstances.

The remuneration system, Jiang Yugang also has special regulations. As a man from a time hundreds of years away from his current era, he has a unique sensitivity to a system in which more work is paid, and if left unchecked, such a design is likely to lead to an increase in the amount of unrestricted labor, which will lead to an instinctive counter-effect.

On the one hand, this kind of counter-production is presented as the exclusion of work, which will instinctively exclude the alienation of the job, so as to control the post within a small range, affecting the fairness between the posts and the development of the profession involved in the post.

On the other hand, it is also the attraction of the post, a large number of people will not be attracted by the post, accepted, the post will move towards a relatively closed development ending, and the mobility will be sluggish, thus limiting the development of related people.

This situation is not good for the people themselves, for the development of the Manggu Castle, and even for the future development of all organizations.

Therefore, the method taken by Jiang Yugang is to limit the workload and the remuneration, no matter how much work you do, you will not get more pay, and under normal circumstances, there will be no need for more work, the only situation is that you have not completed the basic work tasks.

In this way, those who have the intention to complete the task, but because the temporary ability is not enough, can achieve the requirements of the task after investing time in training, and on the other hand, it can also allow those who do not have the heart to complete the task, and although they have the intention to complete the task, but do not have the ability to complete the task, and cannot achieve it through training, they can take the initiative to quit the position.

Although the situation of voluntarily opting out is ideal, there is of course a situation in which he still does not acquire the ability to complete the task despite spending a lot of time, and he still does not voluntarily give up his post.

The way to deal with this situation is to punish the auditors who audit such people entering the post accordingly, so as to strengthen the rigor of the audit.

In general, through the design of these series of mechanisms, Jiang Yugang basically achieved the purpose of ensuring work efficiency on the one hand, and ensuring the working environment on the other hand.

In addition, when it comes to hunting teams, there is another reason why hunters are satisfied with the current hunting team, and that is the influx of new people. The number of people in the hunting team is now higher than the number of ordinary hunters in the past when they hunted alone, and the new people who joined the hunting team did not have the hunting habits of the past, and their overall attitude towards the requirements and remuneration of the new work was satisfactory.

Of course, there are some old hunters who are not very adaptable, or do not like the unified arrangement of Mang Castle, Jiang Yugang also provides them with other options, even not to join Mang Castle at all, and continue their past lives, as long as they do not contradict the special institutions of Mang Castle.

The result of the development of the hunting team is the wide expansion of the scope of activities of the hunting team, because after the establishment of Manggu Castle, whether it is the initial temporary organization hunting team or the hunting department of the Baicao Yuan that was established later, the overall scope of activities is not comparable to the single work of the hunters in the past.

After all, even if we extrapolate backwards from the perspective of consequentialism, the harvest of hunting is several times that of the past, which can meet the demand for meat of the inhabitants of Mang Castle, and this amount of prey naturally needs a broader hunting space.

When the space needed for hunting was gradually expanding, Jiang Yugang also thought of opening up a relatively wide space to specialize in breeding and breeding. But then I realized that I lacked the time to cultivate and develop animal husbandry on the one hand, and lacked experienced people on the other hand, so I was at risk of failure from scratch.

In addition, it is not very simple to carve out a space in Manggu Mountain, it requires a lot of manpower, and this is what Jiang Yugang lacks the most. Several settlements in the Manggu Mountain, including the current Manggu Fort, that is, the former Ming Army's Manggu Mountain defense line camp, have all completed the development in the past, if they want to develop the aquaculture industry, they need to complete the development of space from scratch, these burdens are difficult for Jiang Yu to bear.

And this eventually led to the current situation, where a large number of hunting party members were active in the Mangu Mountains, opening up a variety of hunting grounds and discovering a variety of areas, some of which were suitable for other things.

The discovery of the Alchemy Academy's weapon test site was due to the actions of the hunting team in the Mangu Mountains, which opened up many areas that had not been set foot in as hunting grounds, and also discovered a secluded and spacious space that could be used as a weapon test site.

After some weeding, repairing the isolation zone in the nearby space, and leveling the land, the Alchemy Academy's weapons test site was finally formed, and one of the important equipment for experiments here was the armor of the heavy cavalry.

The main test goal is the ability of various equipment to penetrate heavy armor. The results of the test shocked Jiang Yugang, he found that because of the material of the musket projectile, the current firearm has a very poor penetration ability for heavy armor, and can only cause penetration in some extremely weak parts, and these weak parts, after the corresponding strengthening, the armor-piercing ability of the musket has become a theoretical data.

With the continuous upgrading of heavy armor manufacturing technology, the final armor-piercing data stays at a probability of less than five percent, which is still at a very close distance, and if the cavalry can get a certain degree of cover, the possibility of armor piercing will be further reduced to a value close to the ideal situation.

On the other hand, the armor-piercing test of traditional weapons has also been carried out, and the data situation in this is more optimistic, the most common long knives and bows and arrows on the Luchuan battlefield are close to zero for heavy armor, and only spears and other piercing weapons are slightly higher than the threat of muskets for weak points, but this threat is also very limited, because the Luchuan army does not have the ability to train organized, against cavalry, and even the spearmen of heavy cavalry, and the scattered spearmen want to create an effective threat to the heavy cavalry. It's actually a lot more difficult than a musket.

In addition, the strong crossbow is also an effective tool against the heavy armored cavalry, and can cause more lethal damage to some weak parts, but again, Luchuan itself does not have troops that use these weapons, and even does not make weapons that can penetrate heavy armor at all, because before tomorrow, they would not have thought that there would be a heavy armored cavalry unit in front of them.

In the former Luchuan area, before the war completely destroyed this land, the Luchuan army still had a certain organizational ability, at that time not only cavalry, but even elephant soldiers, such legendary troops, Luchuan army had a certain configuration.

However, time has passed, and in the fourteenth year of the orthodoxy of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, the Luchuan army has been at the end of its strength, and no longer has the ability to organize the army, although the number is still more than the Ming army, but it can only rely on the geographical advantage, through more manpower to carry out a continuous war of attrition with the Ming army.

This kind of war of attrition is not even evenly matched, but out of a defensive posture, although the loss of key strongholds and towns, and the continuous loss of valuable resource points, but still by limiting the manpower of the Ming army, so that the Ming army's organizational and mobilization ability reaches the upper limit, to achieve the goal of exhausting the Ming army.

In fact, this is a way for the relatively backward indigenous forces in various places to resist foreign forces, and the key to success lies in the abundance of local resources to support enough manpower to carry out such a protracted war of attrition.

In the expedition to Luchuan and later in the war in Annam, the Ming Dynasty unfortunately encountered an opponent with rich resources and strong manpower, which produced a great pressure on the mobilization burden, and finally had no choice but to withdraw the army.

However, this kind of war of attrition is not without shortcomings, and its biggest disadvantage lies in the continuous abandonment of resource points, if the Ming army can provide enough support and control the resource points step by step, then it is theoretically possible to defeat this kind of war of attrition. It's just that this kind of investment is too exaggerated for ancient society, and it is no longer an ordinary strategy, but requires an extremely long-term, even forward-looking vision that needs to transcend the times.

The reason why the Ming generation was able to control the southwest relatively effectively, but failed to effectively control Annan, many people analyzed the reason that the Mu family had been guarded by the Mu family for generations on the Yunnan side, but Annan failed to leave a suitable person, and the family behind him, as the talker, to concentrate the resources from the Ming court and the local area of Annan, and carry out the integration of resources that may be several generations long.

Of course, the span of this strategy itself is large, the scale is large, and it is also one of the reasons why it is difficult to do a good job, and the latecomers do not have the courage of Ming Taizu, and it is understandable that they cannot succeed, but this strategy itself can also reflect a problem, that is, the indigenous forces as the defender will continue to lose resource points.

This point seems to be unimportant, but it is actually the focus of Jiang Yu's attention, the loss of resource points directly leads to the decline in the strength of the Luchuan army, and the most important embodiment of the decline in strength is naturally in the military aspect, and a direct symbol that cannot be ignored is the decline in the level of equipment.

The Luchuan army did not have conventional weapons that could threaten the heavy armored cavalry, and Jiang Yuyan assumed that in various situations, the biggest threat may be some heavy or hammer weapons, and the deformation of the armor caused by impact and impact is the most likely to threaten the knight in direct damage.

Jiang Yu had heard the news that the Luchuan army was equipped with a rushing vehicle for siege purposes, and if the rushing vehicle directly attacked the heavy armored cavalry, it might hide a lot of danger. In addition, the biggest danger is naturally that the heavy armor cavalry loses the mobility of the cavalry, and after being besieged, the heavy armor becomes a cage that binds people.

This required that the chances of heavy cavalry entering the battlefield were reasonable, and that there was sufficient covering firepower on the battlefield.
