Chapter 143: Heart
Min Yuanzhi said that he was rising, and simply used branches to arrange the cavalry battle formation.
According to his idea, it is better to use both light and heavy riding.
The Jin people have the so-called abduction horse, which is often used to pinch the two wings and plunder the method, the light horse is fast, back and forth like the wind, plus the Jin people are fierce, every time they encounter a battle, the cavalry on both wings harasses on the flanks, and even plunders after the roundabout formation, breaking the grain road of the Song army and shaking the military heart of the Song army.
Then use the Iron Floating Tu, that is, the heavy cavalry, to break the front of the Song army, the two cavalry, light and heavy, the infantry is too difficult to resist.
After the Jin people raised their troops, they quickly broke the Hebei forbidden army and went straight to Kaifeng City.
The Zhao father and son were incompetent and did not dare to resist, and the Northern Song Dynasty was like a strong man who was beheaded, but in Min Yuanzhi's view, with the ability of the Northern Song Dynasty's Jingying Forbidden Army and the Hebei Forbidden Army, even if they really want to resist, they can only rely on insisting on defending the country, and they have no chance of winning if they fight with the main cavalry of the Jin Army who can break a million Liao troops in the field.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army and the Ming Dynasty Beijing Camp soldiers became a waste, and the soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty were even more wasteful, because they were all recruits, and they were high, and they didn't usually practice.
The Hebei Forbidden Army was the elite of the forbidden army at the beginning of the country, after all, there was a threat from the Khitan of the Liao State at that time, so the most elite soldiers and horses were placed in Hebei and Beijing.
Under the hundred years, due to the long-term peace and no war, not only the Jingying Forbidden Army was degenerated and useless, but the Hebei Forbidden Army was almost a waste.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, only the Western Army was left in the elite of the forbidden army, although the men in the northwest were simple and dared to die, but also because the war with the Western Xia had been non-stop for a hundred years, not only did it not stop, but the Song army gradually occupied the initiative in the war against the Xia people.
It's a pity that although the Western Army can fight and dare to fight, it is still not its opponent when it encounters the fierce and peerless Jurchens.
Whether it was the Battle of Taiyuan or the Battle of Fuping, the Western Army did its best, but unfortunately it was still not a Jurchen opponent.
When Zhao re-established the imperial court and divided the various sections and envoys, the most famous Zhongxing four generals and the rest of the generals gradually emerged, whether it was against the Han army that surrendered to the Jurchens, against the rebels and thieves in the Southern Song Dynasty, or finally against the power of Allah, the Song army had a record of victory in battle.
However, it does not rely on cavalry, but attaches importance to infantry iron armor, heavy crossbows, heavy bows and arrows, and uses heavy infantry to line up with long soldiers in front of the enemy, blocking the enemy's heavy cavalry to break the formation, and using a large number of archers and crossbowmen to fight against the two wings of light cavalry.
In addition, most of the battles were fought in places with dense water networks in the south, and the cavalry of the Jurchens was limited in the end, and after many fierce battles, both sides could not help each other, and Song and Jin became a confrontation again.
Min Yuanzhi believes that in addition to the dense water network in the south, the Jin cavalry is not allowed to be used, and the Jin people are afraid of the humid heat in the south, and the Jin people are willing to enjoy happiness in the north rather than go south to fight bloody battles, and the soldiers' minds have changed and they are unwilling to contribute, which is the most important reason.
If it is really based on the type of troops, it is already the best way for the heavy infantry to have more archers and crossbowmen, but if the cavalry is determined to fight, I am afraid that the infantry is still far from being the enemy of the cavalry.
is so obsessed with Min Yuanzhi, Min Yuanqi can only smile bitterly.
However, the importance of the cavalry is also a fact, but now the strength is still insufficient, Min Yuanqi can only make a hat with his head, more war horses, armor, weapons, and personnel, all need to come step by step slowly, and they can't be anxious.
"I also wish that I had a thousand horses under my command." Min Yuanqi smiled bitterly: "It's just that now we still have to base ourselves on reality, does Yuan Zhi understand?" ”
"Understood." Min Yuanzhi is actually addicted, and now he looks at the salt ships sent to Huai'an every day, and then silver comes in every day, but there are more than 3,500 soldiers trained in the camp, plus more than 4,000 officials and craftsmen, more than 1,000 people are used at the end of the salt pond, and more than 1,000 are used at the construction sites of various workshops.
In addition to the workers and craftsmen of the salt pond and the battalion soldiers, the labor on many construction sites is nothing more than a few buckets of grain a day, and the cost is not high.
Not to mention anything else, the ping-pong in the small school field over there is a fire gun, and the silver that is played out one day is less, and it is really shocking to calculate the account.
"Yuanzhi, don't worry." Min Yuanqi stood up and said with a smile: "There will always be a day when your dream comes true." ”
"Has Brother Yuan Qi found a new source of wealth?"
Min Yuanzhi also knows that the current financial resources have been opened up and utilized to the end, and after removing all the expenses every month, there are almost less than 10,000 taels left, that is, thousands of taels of silver, which is used to save emergencies.
With the financial resources of the salt pond opened up by Min Yuanqi, there can only be such a little left, and I am afraid that few people will believe it when it spreads.
In this year's people, the silver will choose to fall into the bag for safety, even if the world is not good to practice self-defense, the important thing is self-defense, no net worth or a fart?
Like Min Yuanqi, there are very few people who take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year for military training.
When the four towns in the north of the Xiangjiang River were first established, such as Liu Zeqing, there were 30,000 soldiers, 200,000 true colors, and 200,000 folded colors.
Of course, he can't raise only 30,000 soldiers, these hundreds of thousands of money and grain feed more than 100,000 people, even if there is a part of the local subsidy, but Liu Zeqing spends more, and the generals at all levels will also deduct the embezzled military salaries, and the cost of raising the army, which is so much.
Min Yuanqi used the same money and grain as Liu Zeqing, supported a small number of craftsmen and workers, and most of the silver was only used to support more than 3,500 soldiers, and the cost of raising soldiers was 1:10 compared with Liu Zeqing.
With such a cultivation method, it is strange that there are no elite soldiers.
While speaking, Shen Yong and Shen Liang brothers came together, Min Yuanzhi grinned, and said: "Shen Liang is going to blow his fire gun again, what do you say about fighting in formation, even the cavalry is not the opponent of the fire gun, what a fucking bullshit, I won't fight with him here, Brother Yuan Qi, I'll go first." ”
The two brothers were originally just chatting, but they talked a lot about Min Yuanqi's originally somewhat depressed thoughts, and seeing his cousin walk away, Min Yuanqi endured it again and again, but still didn't say his opinion.
The cavalry completely withdrew from the battlefield after machine guns and tanks, and there were still a large number of cavalry in World War I, but it was no longer a decisive class of troops.
In Napoleon's time, cavalry and artillery were still the decisive arms, and they were also the last glory of cavalry.
Even so, it was the musketeers and artillery who really decided the battle on the battlefield.
Together, these two types of troops are enough to restrain cavalry, and in the era of Emperor Nahuang, the glory of cavalry was more in detours and surprise attacks, and the cavalry before the age of firearms had a much higher status.
Min Yuanqi shook his head and smiled, forget it, I still don't fight with this cavalry madman, if I have the opportunity in the future, I am afraid that I can ask Min Yuanzhi to see that subversive scene with his own eyes on the battlefield.
"I've seen adults."
"I've seen adults."
Both of the Shen brothers have smiles on their faces, the difference is that Shen Yong's smile is softer, this is a kind person who is gentle in his bones, he is dedicated to his own workshop, and he doesn't go out when he has nothing to do.
Even if Shen Liang was smiling, the smile on his face seemed to be carved out of a knife.
This guy has been assertive since he was a child, can take ideas, and when the battalion soldiers are their own masters, they will fight on the battlefield for the rest of their lives, and they will be killed and injured many people in the Yunti Pass, and now they are all the fire guns, in fact, they are responsible for the training of several hundred people's fire guns, every day they are either scolding or training people, or beating people with sticks, writing notes, and being confined, and the majesty is practiced after a long time, and the smile on the face is rare, even if it is a laugh, it is more ugly than crying.
"You kid really have to change." Min Yuanqi scolded with a smile: "Laughing is worse than crying, I see how you will marry in the future." ”
Shen Liang listened, and said expressionlessly: "The adult's relatives haven't said it yet, and the lower officials don't dare to have any delusions." ”
"You're fucking making up for me?" Min Yuanqi scolded with a smile, ignored this cold tough guy, and turned his head to Shen Yongdao: "How is the armor fighting, what about the iron helmet?" How about firecrackers? ”
Shen Liang smiled on the side: "Big brother came, of course there are good things for adults to see." ”
Min Yuanqi's eyes lit up, grabbed Shen Yong's arm, and said in a loud voice: "Is it our own good thing, really made?" ”
Shen Yong's face was happy, and he was also a little ashamed, and said: "I am really ashamed of my lord, but I am fortunate not to be dishonored." The new Zha Jia thirteen collars, this is the first batch to come out, and it can be mass-produced at the bottom, and it should be able to produce about 30 to 50 collars every month. Cotton armor is easy to make, and 100 collars can be used every month. The rest of the iron helmets can produce 300 per month, spears, carbines, waist knives, shields and other things, ranging from dozens to more than 100 per month. Thirty new guns, more than 100 can be produced next month...... This is also the reason why the adults have allocated a large number of apprentices. ”
"Then what's the delay, let's hurry over and see?" Min Yuanqi listened, his face was already full of joy.
"There is another thing that is also related to the inspiration of adults......
No matter what Shen Yong said, Min Yuanqi couldn't hold back anymore and hurriedly walked towards the workshop.
The captain of the guard flag on the side was Li Junsun, who was pacing from not far away at this time, and while beckoning the guards to follow and disperse the guards, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Our lord, facing these weapons and armor, is more tempting than facing Xiaoniang." ”
"Who's to say it's not?" Even Shen Liang laughed, he followed, of course, because the new firearm was successfully built, and he also followed his brother to see if the firearm could be used or not, of course, it was only because he said that it didn't count.
Of course, everyone also knew that Min Yuanqi was quite expert in firearms, and this adult was quite concerned about firearms, so Shen Yong didn't dare to ask Shen Liang to try first, and the two brothers rushed over together and asked Lord Min to try it first.
Sure enough, Min Yuanqi didn't delay at all here, and ran to the workshop as soon as he heard about it.
I really didn't see that Min Yuanqi was so interested in which little lady.
