Qiao Yicheng came back to his senses from the shock, he quickly deduced the reason why Zhao Junsheng did this, it must be that the garrison could not raise food and grass in a short period of time, he made up his mind and said to Zhao Junsheng: "For businessmen, if they can go out of the customs and do business with Rouran people, this is a profitable business, and it must be unwanted!" The imperial court has repeatedly ordered that the people of Great Wei are forbidden to do business with the Rouran people, and once caught, they will be raided at the light of their homes, and their families will be exterminated at the worst! Dutong can find the grass people to come over to discuss this matter, obviously he can trust the grass people, and the grass people are honored! It's just ······ Half a year is too short, the caravan can only go three times at most, and now it is late autumn, and the road will soon be closed by heavy snow, and it can only go at most two times in half a year······"

Zhao Junsheng pointed to Ma Zha next to him and motioned for Qiao Yicheng to sit down and speak.

"Thank you, Dutong!"

Zhao Junsheng walked back to the desk and sat down and said to Qiao Yicheng: "Presumably Qiao Yuanwai also guessed that there is a shortage of food here in Bendutong!" This time, the Rouran people went south to fight the grass valley and robbed the area south of Yinshan and north of the Great Wall, and Bendu couldn't think of any other way to unify it, but Bendutong couldn't let the soldiers under his command suffer from cold and starvation, and the top didn't distribute supplies to Bendu, so Bendutong couldn't help but find a way by himself! ”

"Half a year is just a trial period, if Qiao's business is doing well, we can continue to cooperate, but how to cooperate must be discussed separately! If Qiao Yuanwai's business is not good, and you don't want to do it, Ben Du Tong is not reluctant, even if Qiao Yuan Wai loses money, it should not lose much, after all, it is not a long time, let's treat it as if nothing has happened, you don't know Ben Du Tong, Ben Du Tong doesn't know you, it's as simple as that! ”

Qiao Yicheng took a deep breath and arched his hand and said: "Dutong is a particular person, and the grass people can't be unparticular, the grass people can guarantee that they can raise 16,000 people within half a month of half a year's grain, grass and clothing and send them here to be handed over to the Dutong, but the grass people now have a large number of goods seized by the Shuozhou government in the warehouse, and the grass people have seventy percent of their family property on this batch of goods, if this batch of goods cannot be unsealed and sold, the grass people really can't take out the money to buy food and clothing!" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and asked, "Who have you offended?" ”

"Shuozhou Governor Shi Yang Yiqian! The grass people did not offend him, but the grass people have made their business bigger in recent years, made some money, and have some family background, so some peers are red-eyed, and Yang Yiqian is the backer behind one of them."

"Got it!" Zhao Junsheng nodded and instructed Pei Jin: "Is the official document ready?" ”

"Ready!" Pei Jin said a word, took out a customs clearance document and handed it to Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng took the customs clearance document and looked at it, put it on the desk, picked up the seal of the commander of the Jinling camp and stamped it with a big seal, and then handed the customs clearance document to Qiao Yicheng, and said: "With this customs clearance document, it proves that your Qiao family caravan is a military procurement caravan under the jurisdiction of my Jinling camp, and the Shuozhou government should no longer embarrass you!" ”

At this time, Pei Jin arched his hand and said: "Dutong, since the other party has already hit the idea on Qiao Yuanwai, he must have touched the bottom of him, at this time he suddenly took out the customs clearance document to turn the Qiao family caravan into a military procurement caravan, Yang Yiqian will definitely doubt the authenticity of the customs clearance document, although this customs clearance document is no problem and can withstand the investigation, but what if he delays the time?" He can delay time, but we can't drag the stomachs of the soldiers, and we have to eat every day when we open our mouths at dawn! ”

Zhao Junsheng heard Pei Jin's words, thought about it and felt that it was not unreasonable, and said to Pei Jin: "In this way, you can go on a trip in person and go to Shuozhou with Qiao Yuanwai······ In addition, go to Gao Xiu to select two hundred soldiers and horses, make the scene a little bigger, scare Yang Yiqian, meet with him first, see his attitude, if he doesn't give face, he will beat him up and let him end the matter immediately. I want to let the Shuozhou Mansion understand that I, the commander of the Jinling battalion and the defense envoy of the Yinshan defense line, are not easy to mess with! Whoever dares to touch the people of the city, the people of the city will make him pay! ”

Pei Jin promised: "Obey!" ”

Qiao Yicheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and bowed to Zhao Junsheng: "Thank you Dutong!" ”

Soon after the two of them left with the soldiers and horses, Gao Xiu came to see Zhao Junsheng and said: "Dutong, Master Pei Bo transferred two hundred soldiers and horses from his subordinates, saying that it means Dutong!" ”

"That's right! I asked him to take these two hundred soldiers and horses to Shuozhou to solve our grain and grass problems! ”

"I see, my subordinates are here to confirm, and my subordinates still have exercises to arrange, so I will leave first!" Gao Xiu said that he was about to leave.

"You wait!" Zhao Junsheng stopped Gao Xiu and ordered: "We now have more than 5,000 horses, and it is a waste for these horses to keep without riding." In this way, you choose from the whole army soldiers who can ride horses, a maximum of 5,000 men, a minimum of 3,000 men, and after the selection is completed, come to report to me, and the whole capital will train the selected soldiers and horses into a cavalry! ”

"Yes!" Gao Xiu agreed excitedly.

He has his own understanding and views on cavalry, and has also studied the tactics of cavalry, but he can't compare it with real training with troops.

"Dutong, how will the selected soldiers and horses be trained?"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Do you have any ideas and experience in training cavalry?" ”

Gao Xiu replied: "My subordinates do have some ideas of their own, but they haven't put them into practice yet, and I don't know how effective they are!" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said to Gao Xiu: "You first write out a drill plan with your ideas and show it to Bendutong!" ”

"Yes!"

In just one day, Gao Xiu selected more than 3,600 people and sent a plan for some exercises.

After reading the drill plan written by Gao Xiu, Zhao Junsheng found that although this plan took into account many aspects, it always had the limitations of the times, and the content of the drill had not yet departed from the scope of several cavalry tactics commonly used in this era.

He made a lot of changes to the drill plan, and he changed it again and again, until it was finally finalized after three changes.

He asked Gao Xiu to call him over, and handed the final cavalry drill plan to Gao Xiu: "I have read all the cavalry drill plans you wrote, but I am not very satisfied, and I have made a lot of modifications, this is the revised plan of Bendu, you see!" ”

Gao Xiu took a stack of papers and looked at them one by one, at first he didn't care, thinking that Zhao Junsheng might be very good at training foot soldiers, but he was not necessarily better than him in training cavalry, but he didn't expect to be surprised when he saw Zhao Junsheng's revised plan, and the training content on it was something he had never thought of.

"What do you think?" Zhao Junsheng asked after seeing Gao Xiu finish reading.

Gao Xiu put down the drill plan, hugged his fists and said: "Du Tong is really a great talent, there are many exercises and tactics and drill methods that his subordinates have never seen and thought of, it is conceivable that once we drill this cavalry according to the above subjects and complete the drill progress, so that the soldiers can meet the requirements, it is bound to make this cavalry have a strong combat power, as long as it goes through a few battles, it will definitely be able to temper a strong cavalry!" It's just ······"

"Just what?" Zhao Junsheng was very puzzled.

Gao Xiu said: "It's just that once these training methods and tactical tactics are spread, it is easy for other people to learn. ”

Zhao Junsheng smiled, he shook his head: "That's not necessarily, even if they get this training plan, they may not be able to train to have the same strong combat power as the soldiers and horses trained by the Bendutong!" Well, starting tomorrow, these 3,600 people will start to practice according to the content subjects above, and then the city will personally lead the team to practice! ”

"Yes, Totong!"

After Gao Xiu left, Zhao Junsheng walked out of the barracks, he didn't tell Gao Xiu the secret of this drill plan just now, even if this drill plan was obtained by others, if he didn't understand the secret, he would definitely not be able to achieve the effect.

What's the secret? It's actually worthless to say it, that's military discipline, strict military discipline! In order for the cavalry trained by this training method to perform some of the tactics described above, it must have a formidable and strict military discipline in order to fully exert its terrifying power.

There are many, many nomads who are good at bow horses, and many are good at using heavy cavalry and light cavalry to fight together, among which the Mongolian cavalry is the best, but the use of heavy cavalry and light cavalry is not the patent of the Mongols, from the Parthians BC, to the Persian Sassanids, Rouran and Turks, are good at this method of warfare, and the Xianbei people are obviously good at it, but they have not been able to conquer the world, only the Mongols have done it, Because the Mongol cavalry stood out more than these nomads for strict military discipline and army organization.

The decimal system of 10,000 Mongolian households stipulates that each person can only live in a fixed area of ten, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand households, and cannot move at will, which makes the originally loose tribal alliance into a hierarchical military organization, in which Mongols from different tribes are often composed, which can ensure their allegiance to the Great Khan and will not have their own small circle.

In order for an army to carry out a tactic in battle, it is necessary to meet some prerequisites, at least it must have solid and solid basic skills, that is, riding skills, riding and archery skills, rushing and killing, slashing and stabbing skills, these basic skills have no tricks, and can only be improved through hard training, and all cavalry tactical tactics must be completed above these basic skills, and if these basic skills are not good, the cavalry tactical tactics will naturally not be able to reach their power.

Of course, in addition to these basic skills, the implementation of some cavalry tactical tactics must also be supported by other hardware conditions, such as long-distance running, which requires war horses to be able to bear hardships and stand hard work, have strong endurance, and have sufficient logistical support; For example, in order to carry out the tactics of heavy cavalry and light cavalry in tandem, it is necessary to form heavy cavalry, and heavy equipment such as horse harness and cavalry armor are required.

Zhao Junsheng was thinking about this, Li Bao walked over quickly with the handle of the knife and hugged his fists and said, "Dutong, someone from the Jinling camp is here!" ”
