After Min Yuan went out, there was already a small group of cavalry waiting, these more than ten horsemen were all old men who followed early, all of them had the status of military attachés, and the lowest rank was also the identity of team officers, and even many team officers added military attaches to the guard were also hundred household officials.

If it had been changed for half a year, the cavalrymen who had official positions would have all the black yarn on their heads, wearing regular official robes, wearing bronze medals indicating their identities around their waists, and their names and official positions would be engraved on the plates.

Even if the military attache is worthless, the official is an official after all, so he will not be bullied as an ordinary countryman when he enters the city.

Now no one takes these additions seriously, and everyone has their names, figures, and positions embroidered on their chests.

In fact, this is to facilitate the identification of people in peacetime, to identify the wounded or even the dead on the battlefield, and to collect the corpses and notify the family.

The military rank system was also proposed by Min Yuanqi, but it has not yet been implemented.

The main thing is that the craftsmen are busy working one by one, and although the military rank system is important, it is not as important as casting guns and armor.

Min Yuanqi planned to use a simple and easily recognizable military rank system to ask blacksmiths to make iron pieces.

The smooth iron piece is the flag army, the carved bar is the captain, the two bars are the team officers, and the three bars are the flag captain level.

Then carve a round iron bean is the hundred general level, two are the division level, and three are the thousand general level.

As for the battalion level, now anyway, Min Yuanqi is alone, if you want to appoint a battalion officer, you can consider using silver medals and silver beans at that time.

The cavalry in front of Min Yuanzhi were all strong men in their twenties, but if they were with real strong men, they would look a little thin.

The cavalry must not be too heavy, which is also a criterion when selecting.

It's not that you can't be a cavalry if you are strong and heavy, if you are in the north of the country the better conditions are from the snack beef and mutton to drink mare's milk and goat's milk to grow up, strong as Roshan, but its horse riding is as neat, the same can run long distances on the horse, but the north can afford to consume horses, no matter how short the man is growing up on horseback from a young age, it does not affect riding.

The war horses here are too precious, and the cavalry can only choose the most suitable person.

Everyone surrounded Min Yuan and walked straight forward, and many people in the city heard the movement, and rushed out of their homes to look at this group of cavalry out of the city, and many people had solemn eyes.

When they arrived at the south gate, many people who were busy on the city wall temporarily stopped their work and looked at the cavalry who were out of the city.

Outside the city, there were also more than 30 horsemen waiting, and they rushed over from the barracks to meet Min Yuanzhi in the city of Qianhusuo.

The subordinates gathered, although there were only fifty cavalry, but it gave people the feeling of immenseness, and more than fifty cavalry and more than fifty infantry were completely two feelings.

The horses neighed, the hooves were fighting, the people and horses were spinning in place, the spears and swords were hanging on the side of the horse's belly, everyone was wearing armor, the whole city gate was shining with silver, and the knights were riding on the horses, giving people a sense of oppression and impact that was quite strong.

This is the cavalry, the well-deserved king of this era.

A frightened horse galloping through the city was enough to disturb a small half of the city, and it was not known how many people had to be knocked over, and even serious casualties were caused before it could be stopped.

Dozens of horses hit in the face, even the iron man has the toughest nerves, when the horse gallops, he will be shocked and feel irresistible.

Infantry against cavalry, is a natural disadvantage, when the Ming army and the Eight Banners against each other, the formation of a car formation, with firearms to meet the enemy, a small number of cavalry is elite standby and move.

When the two armies came into contact, the Ming army fired small artillery in unison to prevent the Eight Banners from charging into battle.

The enemy cavalry attacked with two wings, sometimes near and sometimes far, sometimes rushing and sometimes retreating, so as to consume the ammunition of the Ming army.

When the Ming army set fire for many rounds, consumed the medicine, and the array was chaotic, the Eight Banners cavalry approached, and the Ming army was confused with bows and arrows.

The general Ming army has been frightened so far, under the threat of multiple cavalry, the sense of panic of the infantry will be doubled, if there is good organization and training, it can resist one or two, but with the chaos and lack of training of the Ming army, morale is low, equipment is sparse, and it generally collapses when the arrows are released in the Eight Banners.

The Ming army, which can engage the Eight Banners infantry formation for several rounds, and even reverse impact, belongs to the elite of the Nine Sides, and can bring considerable casualties to the Eight Banners.

The battle of Songjin and Li Chuang's old battalion soldiers all have this ability.

However, the battle could not be won, mainly because the gap between the two sides in terms of cavalry and elite infantry was huge.

There are only more than 50 horses in front of you, but it gives people the feeling of thousands of horses, think about if it is on the battlefield, all around are chaotic companions, opposite is thousands of roaring cavalry, strong soldiers, well-trained, when ten thousand horses gallop when the mountains shake, with the lack of training of the Ming army to this kind of military formation, this is a huge gap in strength, the defeat of the Ming army, there are various unfavorable factors such as the right time, place and people, but the fundamental reason is the gap in strength.

With the combat power of the Eight Banners Cavalry, not to mention the fierce Qin Army and the Han Army, or the Tang Army that stands alone in the world, even if it is a weak Song Dynasty that is regarded as a rookie, its infantry formation against cavalry formation is afraid that it is far more than the Ming army at this time.

Not to mention anything else, at the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, many famous generals, with the Iron Man Army against the heavy cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, the infantry wearing heavy armor in front, the two wings were a large number of crossbowmen, and with a large number of strong pawns with heavy long knives, and the Jin State Iron Cavalry was a hard regret that they won many times. Jin Zhi Tie Futu is a standard heavy cavalry, the number of people, combat power, battlefield experience, command ability, are all to throw the Houjin Eight Banners away, if the southbound Duoduo Department encounters the Southern Song Dynasty strong army, I am afraid that even Liu Guangshi's kind of waste can easily win.

This is the gap brought about by the regression of cultural relics, and the impact of the Min Yuan Zhi District is extremely strong.

This is the city of thousands of households, Yuntiguan or the sea defense palace, is an out-and-out military town, the residents of the city are not the flag army is also the military household Yu Ding, it stands to reason that they all have military status, with the original intention of Taizu to set up the guard, these guards are out-and-out soldiers, they undertake the military duties of defending the country and guarding the place.

But at this moment, these guards looked at Min Yuanzhi and the others with all kinds of complicated eyes, and the feeling to Min Yuanzhi was that in addition to some emotions such as shock, envy, and jealousy, it was more fear.

Min Yuanzhi didn't feel proud, and it was only at this moment that he vaguely understood that when he heard that more than 10,000 soldiers from Shandong Town were attacking, Min Yuanqi didn't care at all, and even seemed to be planning to fight after the battle and directly break the enemy in the field.

It was only when he heard that there were more than 1,000 cavalry coming with him that Min Yuanqi gave up his plan to fight the enemy head-on, dug trenches widely, built arrow towers, and enriched the defense of the city and the city of Beitu, and narrowed the width of the frontal battlefield with the stupid method of building positions left and right, so as to make the cavalry useless as much as possible.

Before today, Min Yuanzhi, who was extremely proud in his heart, still felt that Brother Yuan Qi was making a big fuss, just with the urine of a guest soldier, what could more than 10,000 people do?

It was only at this moment that he faintly understood.

Riding on foot is a natural disadvantage, and this disadvantage needs to be made up for by a better way, but at present, there are no large number of firearms in Yunti Pass, no artillery, and the cavalry is quite insufficient, so we have to use the stupid method of digging a ditch.

The subordinates gathered, Min Yuan took a long breath, gathered his mind, but his heart was always full of confidence: "In the future, there will be a day when I lead a thousand horsemen to confront the enemy head-on." ”

……

After more than 50 horsemen left, there was a bang at the head of the city, and many people talked about it.

"The cavalry has moved?"

"It seems that the guest soldiers are not far away!"

"Let's speed up here, the guest soldiers are a group of brutes in human skin, if the city is broken by them, we men don't want to live, most of the old people and children can't live, and the women will suffer."

"When the time comes, I will also stand at the head of the city with the ancestral waist knife, and to be honest, I am also scared in my heart."

"What's the use of being afraid? Maybe your knife can't kill people? People come to beat us, and it's not us who are going to make trouble, they call, let's stretch out our heads and necks and tell him to cut them? ”

"That's right."

"It's still the salt pond that has been tabooed, and the guest soldiers have come to the door."

The speaker sighed, but quickly shut up.

It's not that no one has said anything like that in the past two days, although after the development of the salt pond in Yuntiguan, there is a lot of labor, plus farmland, construction sites, workshops, and many people everywhere.

The main reason why it is so easy to move people from Suocheng and Tucheng is that they all went to the 300th household.

A large number of hired workers, who earned several times more money and food than before.

When there is money in the land, there are more people who do small business.

This has formed a virtuous circle, which is the way of the economy, and the so-called government investment in infrastructure in later generations is the core of which is to increase the income of the people, forming a virtuous circle between the first, second and third industries.

Min Yuanqi still has a large number of battalion soldiers there, and the income of the battalion soldiers is slightly higher than that of the Yanchi workers.

This has also caused relative inflation, and the standard of living here has been greatly improved, and the supply channels have not been raised all of a sudden, which has made the supply of materials relatively insufficient and the prices have been higher.

If you don't find a way to increase your income in the 300th household in time, in the past few months, many people who have lived a decent life will suddenly become a little embarrassed.

Min Yuanqi has also noticed this, the place is too small, and a large amount of money and grain will be distributed, which will make wealth too concentrated and lead to inflation.

The solution is to increase foreign trade and further industrialization.

This one can't be done for the time being, although Min Yuanqi is working hard in this direction.

The other is to expand the base of the territory, disperse the garrison, and divide the workshops into workshops, so that more people can benefit, and at the same time, the places where money and food are consumed are more dispersed.

Expanding supply channels should make it easy to solve this short-term inflation.

But in a short period of time, resentment is inevitable.

It's just that the person who complained suddenly remembered that the person who complained about Min Yuanqi before was fine, but in the past two days, he has been warned one after another, and there are several people who threaten that the guest soldiers will win, and they preach everywhere that Qianhusuo can surrender here, and they don't have to die with Min Yuanqi.

These people suddenly disappeared in the past two days.

The good big living people just disappeared!
