"In addition, the most important point is that the armor used by the heavy armored cavalry not only has the cavalry armed to all parts of the body, including the joints, and the key protection of vulnerable parts such as the eyes, but all the carefully selected horses are also fully armored, so as to prevent the casualties of the horses and cause the heavy cavalry to fall into danger." Jiang Yugang introduced.

Auma scratched his head: "I've heard that the military master is training a special cavalry unit, I think it's this one, there was no such capital and energy to train cavalry in the previous cottage, but now I can open my eyes." ”

The horses of these cavalry mainly came from the collection of Mang Castle itself and the provision of Bai Qianfan from Mengyang City as an intermediary, because it was not only the cavalry, but also the heavy armored cavalry that had to bear the pressure of heavy armor, so ordinary war horses were not qualified, and more excellent horses were needed to bear more pressure as the mounts of the heavy armored cavalry.

Jiang Yugang handed over this matter to Zhang Dake, who was responsible for the creation of all kinds of objects, and had a lot of intersections with various departments, and it was suitable to be responsible for such a thing that also involved a wide range of affairs, from the collection of war horses, to the design and assembly of armor and equipment, and finally the overall arrangement, and the formation of other parts of the entire cavalry unit except for people.

In the end, the choice of knights was more difficult, because few of these warriors from the Manggu Mountains had ridden horses in the Luchuan area, and even fewer of them wanted to select a hundred of them, and even fewer could bear the burden of heavy armor and complete the charge mission.

In the end, Jiang Yu's way to achieve this is to choose some people with horseback riding experience, and the other part is to train all from scratch, fortunately, this is not a particularly difficult thing, Jiang Yugang because of the heavy cavalry has always been thinking, but also began to prepare for training two months in advance, so many knights actually started to practice from Mang Castle for tactical training.

In this regard, Jiang Yugang also made a very difficult choice, on the one hand, he was a warrior with more experience in horseback riding, and on the other hand, a warrior who might be more suitable for cavalry charge tactics and had a better will to fight, and after hesitating, he still chose the latter.

Skill and experience can be trained, and as long as you are willing to work hard, it will always be effective, but a better will to fight is irreplaceable, and it is difficult to form it in a short period of time. As the heavy armored cavalry in Jiang Yu's dream, he must be able to charge without fear in the face of thousands of troops and horses, and what supports all this is the belief in victory and absolute firmness, and his heart is like water and at the same time has the highest fighting spirit.

This contradictory complex made Jiang Yugang face great difficulties in selecting people, but he still did not change his conditions. Fortunately, there are a lot fewer people in this heavy armored cavalry team, but there are not many people to say more, and there are only a hundred places, so there is still a lot of room for choice.

So in the next two months of training, entry and elimination continued to occur, and many of the eliminations occurred voluntarily, because Jiang Yuxuan told these soldiers in detail about the tasks that the heavy cavalry would shoulder over and over again, and many people were afraid because of this kind of death squad-like task, and then withdrew.

But there are also many people who believe in one thing, that is, Jiang Yugang himself is also a member of the heavy armored cavalry team, and even the leader who is about to charge ahead, so since the military masters are involved, it shows that the heavy armored cavalry is actually not as dangerous as imagined.

Later, with the gradual improvement of the logistics facilities of the entire Qing army, all kinds of armor, including the armor of war horses and the armor of knights, also began to be installed in the actual training.

In the end, the mentality of the soldiers entered a stable stage was the quality test of heavy armor, a heavy armor unit presided over by Zhang Dake, the envoy of the Creation Academy, officially named the Daming Luchuan Iron Cavalry, the armor quality inspection was carried out in the weapon test ground of the Alchemy Academy.

The test site is a valley in the southern part of the Mangu Mountains, surrounded by dense forests, so it has always been hidden and hidden. Later, after the establishment of Mang Castle, in order to supply as much food as possible to Mang Castle and ensure the richness of food types, Jiang Yugang formed a large-scale hunting team.

The current hunting team is a department under the Baicao Academy, and the former hunting team is still a temporary department that is temporarily assembled. But neither the institution nor the temporary organization can change the fact that the hunting party is far more organized than the hunters who used to operate in the Manggu Mountains.

In the past, the hunters adopted a way of life and work, which was an instant hunting method, that is, when there was a need for food, they went into the mountains to hunt, and the hunted prey could often support the diet for a considerable period of time, so they would rest and engage in some other work, such as collecting herbs and spices, or making handicrafts, which is also the reason why the proportion of craftsmen in the Manggu Mountains is higher than that of the Ming soldiers and civilians who are responsible for logistics.

And this kind of instant hunting is actually a demand-driven hunting method, this method has two biggest disadvantages, the first is instability, the harvest of each hunt is likely to be very different, sometimes the result of the hunt may be enough to support many days of life, but sometimes it may be soon to go hunting.

The second reason is motivation, which is that the demand-driven hunting itself is lacking in motivation, i.e., hunters do not hunt for the sake of hunting, but for the actual needs of life, which seems to be in line with natural philosophy from a natural point of view, but very much inconsistent with the needs of productivity.

Only by hunting in a strict and organized manner at all times, and not limiting the degree of hunting action because of the actual need for hunting, but by opening up a wider space, can more hunting harvests be created.

Since the establishment of the hunting team, the hunting intensity of Manggu Mountain has changed greatly from the past, and the hunting action that was once short-term and flexible in time has become a hunting action with a specified time and a regular time.

For each hunter, their work load is much heavier, although the Mangkay Castle has a five-hour work day, while the hunting team may have a shorter working time, only about three to four hours, but they are really carrying a heavier burden than the previous demand-driven free hunting operations, and the working hours are much longer than in the past.

But the members of the hunting team did not complain too much, there are three reasons for this, the first reason is naturally the treatment, all the residents who join the Mang Castle have to accept the work of the Mang Castle, these jobs are often better than their past lives, so almost no one has many complaints, and even if the hunting team may work much longer than the hunting time of the hunters in the past, but the hunters of these hunting teams are also treated better.

Specifically, this better treatment is reflected in both working hours and work rewards, first of all, the working hours, compared to other people's five-hour work, the hunting team works for three to four hours, sometimes there may be concentrated long hunting, but in exchange for longer rotational rest, that is, although the working hours are too long, but compared to others is still superior.

The second point is the direct preferential treatment, the treatment of the residents in the ancient castle is mainly reflected through food and silver, of which the silver is paid once for a long time, the food is distributed once for a short time, and the long time may be more than a month, if it is short, it is more than a week, and the shorter is within three or four days.

During these times, various food and salaries were regularly distributed, which was the "salary" they received for serving the castle. Although this system is still very simple and immature, it can still operate normally because of the relatively simple money trading environment like an ideal social experiment and the strict military food control system.

Although due to the rapid development of Mang Castle, there were also many deficits in the whole process, and the promised treatment for winning people's hearts did not have enough resources to support it, but with the support of Meng Yang's garrison Bai Qianfan, it was also successfully passed.

And the treatment of the members of the hunting party is basically the same as that of the highest-ranking intelligence department such as the Secret Academy, as well as the army, which is still at the level of salary. When it comes to food welfare, meat is the most abundant in all departments in the diet level of the hunting team, and only Jiang Yu's own diet level may be able to compare with it.

Jiang Yugang used this kind of high treatment standard, and used the opposite of not suffering from widowhood but suffering from unevenness, to inspire the primitive desire in everyone's hearts, so that the job that might not be difficult to be favored has become a job that must be done even if it is faced with high elimination rate, high fatigue and high risk.

The third point is the change in the working environment, in fact, this is also the reason why the vast majority of former hunters are not too resistant to the current hunting team work arrangement, that is, the working environment of the hunting team is much better than the previous life of individual hunters.

First of all, there are many relatively dangerous areas in the mountains and forests of Luchuan, where wild beasts are often active, and due to the intelligence work of the Mangkashi Secret Academy and the Divine Hunting Academy, these intelligence officers can often get a lot of information about the mountains and forests themselves when traveling between the mountains and forests.

As a descendant hundreds of years later, Jiang Yugang had a deeper and more systematic understanding of guerrilla warfare than the people of the 15th century, and his confidence in mastering the mountains and forests where he was located was a very valuable act in itself, and it was worth paying manpower and material resources.

Therefore, under his arrangement, all kinds of information in the mountains and forests of Manggu Mountain have become tasks that need to be reported by the intelligence personnel of the Secret Academy and the Divine Hunting Academy, and can be handed over as effective intelligence. It is also because of this arrangement that the hunters of the hunting team can get a lot of information about the beasts that they once risked their lives to discover, and they can also avoid many unjust paths that they once had to spend a lot of energy to take, and operate in some places where there is no prey.

Relying on the information provided by intelligence officers, the hunters of the hunting party are able to complete the hunt operations more safely and efficiently. If the original hunter's activities were based on the premise of a minimum number of hunters, the current hunting team obviously has more manpower than hunting operations.

To put it simply, with the same target number of prey, the hunting team will have more hunters to join the hunting operation than ever before, thus reducing the hunting burden of each hunter and shifting the burden of the individual to the hunting team as a collective.

There will be inefficiencies in the collective, but the solution is relatively simple.
