Fang Shaoqun smiled and said, "Nine hundred thousand family funds are enough for more than three months, and they are almost just right to harvest in the cotton field." ”

Li Yi also said with a smile: "Before this, there are still sea ships that are already making money, entrepot trade, one ship can also earn more than 10,000 yuan, the more ships are repaired, the more we earn." ”

"The factory is still fed back after it is built, and there are ducks, chickens, fishing, and small catches."

Xu Zixian smiled slightly, the two in front of him, Li Yi was originally a middle-class talent, and after such a long time, he has been training at the top level, and now he also belongs to the top talent.

As for Fang Shaoqun, he is a superior talent.

The two of them counted on their fingers, and they knew that Xu Zi was still a little conservative when he spoke first.

Here in the Eastern Domain, he has long started to make money, and he still has an income of tens of thousands of yuan a month.

The money has to be invested, and then earned, invested, and earned, and this is the cycle of turnover.

If you keep the money in your hands all the time, it's a dead thing, a dead thing that is useless.

"Okay," Xu Zi laughed first and said, "What does Fengqi mean?" ”

"I'll tell you the truth!" Fang Shaoqun said with a straight face: "Although the prince attaches great importance to epidemic prevention, the emphasis is on prevention, not treatment. This is not good, I have always felt that the prince does not believe in doctors, and seems to think that doctors have nothing to do? ”

"It's for Feng Qi to see it." Xu Zixian admitted calmly: "I really don't believe that there is a cure. ”

"There's always a way." Fang Shaoqun said: "Malaria can't be treated, and the epidemic can be treated." It's just that you have to pay a lot of money to lure real famous doctors to come. ”

"Set a reward?"

"Yes......" Fang Shaoqun said: "Take 50,000 guan out, in Jiangling, Liangzhejiang, Jinghu, Fujian, those who can be reached by sea boats, and even in the north, Jingshi, offer a reward of 50,000 guan, asking for a prescription for the treatment of the epidemic." ”

There are many types of plagues, and the plague in the Eastern Domain is mainly malaria.

Malaria is mostly mosquito-transmitted, and with isolation and burning, the threat of malaria has become minimal.

Then there is the epidemic infection, which is actually an extremely difficult flu to treat, which is related to the weather, the density of people, and many other subtle conditions.

Fang Shaoqun believes that malaria is difficult to treat, while the epidemic, that is, influenza typhoid, can be treated, which is completely different from Xu Zixian's cognition.

Xu Zixian pondered for a moment, feeling that he had some prejudice against traditional Chinese medicine, subconsciously it was to focus on prevention and not medicine, and the main starting point of the large-scale search for doctors was just to calm the people's hearts, not to really apply medicine and save medicine.

"According to what Fengqi said." Although he is still not very sure, Xu Zixian also hopes that there will really be a famous doctor, if there can be a famous doctor who can treat the epidemic, he will no longer be threatened by the plague, and when the number of immigrants reaches a certain number, Xu Zixian also regards the plague as the biggest threat, still above the pirates and natives.

If it can really be cured, the cost of 50,000 guan is worth it.

"The prince is wise." Fang Shaoqun gave a rare compliment.

"Fifty thousand?" Li Yi was a little hesitant, now that more than 100 immigrants are infected with the epidemic, are Xu Zixian and Fang Shaoqun overreacting?

But after thinking about it, he also knew that this matter was extremely important, Fang Shaoqun first asked Xu Zixian how much money he had left, and then made a suggestion, which was quite thoughtful, Li Yi thought about it for a while, and stopped persuading.

"Gong Li, the cardinal room immediately ordered Zhang Huchen that the cavalry battalion can stop daily training and prepare to lead the troops to actual combat."

"Yes, Prince."

Li Yi stood up and clasped her fists and saluted.

……

In the evening, Zhang Huchen received the latest military order in the cavalry battalion.

Originally, it was expected that a Privy Council-like body would soon be established, with a high-ranking civilian official at the helm, and the military would be the deputy, used to issue military orders and direct wars.

This is the case with the Great Wei, although it does not promulgate the formation map, but the military orders are very cumbersome and detailed.

For example, from training to war, the general has to go to the Privy Council to receive the official military order, and then to the military department to receive the military talisman, and then give the soldiers to the soldiers, and the military supervision of the army is allowed to the battalion, and then the military department and the local government begin to prepare the army to march food, to determine the number of soldiers, the soldiers normally carry three to five days of military rations, and then determine the route and place of supply along the way, and the local government receives the official order in advance and prepares.

Originally, the logistics matter was the responsibility of the Privy Council, but it was later transferred to the Ministry of War, which was also intended to weaken the power of the Privy Council, otherwise the Privy Council would control the opportunity to be a war, manage the generals, and then take charge of military orders, logistics, and self-contained system, which would be too dangerous for the imperial power.

The Nan'an Hou Mansion did not set up a Privy Council, but the functions of the Privy Council were subsumed into the Cabinet of Secretaries, and you have the Cardinal's Room, which is responsible for issuing military orders, and the Military Room is responsible for the military registration files and the recruitment of new troops, the placement of veterans and disabled soldiers, and the pension of soldiers who died in battle.

The Department of Military Strategy is the department that draws up the war plan, and its functions are somewhat similar to those of the Privy Council.

This is Xu Zixian's consideration, using the secretary cabinet to manage military orders, like the national defense department managed by civilian officials in later generations, the military strategy department is similar to the general staff, responsible for specific war plans, and the military room is the department responsible for logistics, so that the trinity, the general is personally leading the troops, but the military order, staff officer, logistics, these departments are not in the hands of the generals, the generals are only responsible for leading the troops to do the war, and ignore the rest, which can not only ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, but also separate many functions, and do not have to worry about the generals supporting the army and self-respect, and even gradually becoming a feudal town.

Like the Ming Dynasty, the generals embezzled military salaries, made the serious border army into Huazi, and only cared about their own family behavior, Xu Zi would never let it appear under his nose.

Even in the Great Wei, the forbidden army still retains considerable combat effectiveness, the ordnance and salary are sufficient, the morale of the soldiers of the forbidden army is not weak, and the generals are generally competent.

When it comes to dynastic martial arts, there are ten streets of the Great Wei Dynasty and the Song and Ming dynasties.

It is the Xiang Army that is weak, and it is not enough to pay and weaponize, which is also related to the deviation of the functions of the Xiang Army.

The military order of the cardinal's room was given, and then the officials of the barracks came and gave the military order to prepare the rations.

This time, the cavalry battalion was dispatched, and it was to stay in the field for at least ten days, and after making sure that the threat of the natives was cleared, it would return to the camp.

Each soldier's coconut scoop, lunch box, paper bag for salt, knife, purse for flint, bedding, and oilcloth were all tied to the horse's back, and the cavalry only had this benefit, saving themselves from carrying sundries.

The long swords, waist knives, and short crossbows of each cavalry are all inserted on the left and right sides of the horse's belly, and can be used at any time.

The cavalry was still dressed in red, and everyone wore a red arrow jacket with a base, and cotton armor or chain mail.

Unlike other battalions that have not yet prepared armor, most of the armor accumulated by the Nan'an Hou Mansion for so long has fallen on the heads of the cavalry battalions, and almost everyone has already tied their armor.

This is quite rare and valuable, you must know that the armor gap is quite serious, and it is also the most headache in Nan'anhou Mansion recently.

Even during the preparation period, some recruits continued to train in the school grounds of the cavalry battalion.

The school field is very large, with a radius of hundreds of acres, and the buildings in the camp are crude, just rows of brick houses are arranged, enough for the soldiers to live.

The house is simple, but the formation is still quite neat and uniform, and the rules are generally the same as when I was in Nan'an.

The external sanitation is also very particular, neatly planned, landfill, swill recycling, open ditch drainage, all available.

After the soldiers were ready to pack, Zhang Huchen did not give the order to set off, but ordered all the soldiers to continue training.

In the evening, there was smoke and dust outside the camp gate, Zhang Huchen smiled, and said to Sun Rulan and other generals: "As I expected, the prince is here." ”

In the cavalry battalion, Zhang Huchen's deputy is Gao Shilai, the deputy commander, under whom there is the battalion Marquis Yu Sun Zizhuang, who controls all affairs in the battalion, the deputy commander is responsible for undertaking military orders and managing staff officers, and Marquis Yu is responsible for military law, documents and files, and logistics.

In addition, there are five heads, more than a dozen deputy heads, each of which has a hundred people, each divided into three formations, and each formation has three teams, from the head of the capital to the head of the section, and the head of the capital, all of which are the best officers selected from each department, and at least there must be a certain foundation in horsemanship.

But with Xu Zixian's method of riding and fighting, riding is just a matter of getting started.

"Meet the Prince."

Zhang Huchen and his entourage all went to the camp gate to greet them, Xu Zixian was surrounded by half of the guards, and Lin Zhengzhi, the head of the capital, was also a member of the old tooth generals, a guard, most of them were selected from the tooth generals and young tooth generals, and they were released after a few months or more years by Xu Zixian's side, this is the highest level of training class, everyone knows that the people around the prince are the most trusted, and there are many opportunities to get them.

Over the course of several months, these guards had been fairly well trained and trained.

The most important thing is that they will get along with Xu Zi day and night, get familiar with each other, establish loyalty, and then release them, which is Nan Anhou's deeper mastery of the trilogy.

In terms of the more than 100 generals in Nan'anhou Mansion at the beginning, most of them are now placed in various departments as the head or section head, and there are a few who are the head of the capital, all of which are performing quite well.

The most outstanding Jin Jian is in charge of the Military Intelligence Department, Gao Shilai is also the deputy commander of the cavalry battalion, Tian Heng is also the battalion commander, and the next step is the military deputy commander.

This is all Xu Zixian's training, and it is also his intention to bring these people with him.

Dozens of knights galloped in, Zhang Huchen and others saluted and stepped forward, and the front of the team was, of course, the high-spirited Nan'an Marquis Xu Zixian.

"I've seen the prince."

"Alright, excuse me." Xu Zixian smiled slightly, returned the salute, and then jumped off the horse.

"I knew the prince was coming." Zhang Huchen said: "Do you want to go with the cavalry battalion?" ”

"Huchen knows me." Xu Zixian smiled and said: "The cavalry battalion is going to go to the battle array, how can I not come?" ”

Zhang Huchen said: "The method of riding the prince has never been used before, and it is really a precedent for the method of riding and fighting. To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the fact that the soldiers had been cultivated for so long and knew everything to follow the military orders, I don't know if I would have been able to complete the training of this iron cavalry method......"

"Huchen is humble."

"It's not humility." Zhang Huchen said with a wry smile: "The method of iron cavalry pays attention to array and tactics, and personal martial arts and riding skills are followed by it. ”

Xu Zixian nodded slightly, and there was excitement in his eyes.

He asked Zhang Huchen to train, which originated in the iron cavalry method of the British turmoil, and Cromwell trained the iron cavalry with this method, and since then he has been invincible and has no opponents.

Xu Zixian used to be an undergraduate student studying history, and he had a very thorough understanding of this period of history.

With the Wei army's current method of cavalry warfare, even if the problem of horses is solved, how many years will it take to train tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry to compete with the northern and eastern captives?

Decade?

Twenty years?

Acting in an ordinary way, it will definitely not work, even Xu Zixian doesn't think that he can raise tens of thousands of horses in the Eastern Domain, but where can he cultivate hundreds of thousands of cavalry that can compete with the Eastern Empire?

The elite cavalry of the northern and eastern captives have been riding horses since childhood, and when they grow up, they can gallop left and right on the horse, ride horses without sleep, and can be mixed with the horses.

Within a few years, the main force of the Great Wei will be lost, and the ability to contend with the strong enemy in the north will be lost, and the internal bulls, ghosts, gods, and snakes will come out within this year or two.

Before fighting against foreign enemies, Xu Zi first had to conquer and pacify those internal ghosts, and the time was too urgent.

The method of the iron cavalry in front of him, that is, the wall cavalry, this is Xu Zixian's most critical killer weapon, and it is also the best trick for the new modern cavalry to fight against the classical cavalry.

Xu Zixian has studied in later generations, and some online cattle have studied many times, and they have fought many lawsuits with each other, and many family sayings have also been affirmed or denied, but in Xu Zixian's view, successful things in history must have their reasons for success, and the wall cavalry pays attention to speed, and is known for discipline, rather than the bravery and skill of individual knights.

This is enough.

What the soldiers and horses of Nan'an Hou Mansion lacked was experience and personal bravery, and the overall discipline was the strength of the soldiers of Nan'an Mansion, even far exceeding any strong army in the world.

The wall-mounted cavalry method of fighting with the method of "iron cavalry" to conquer the Quartet, this is Xu Zixian's decision!
