Chapter 080: Like-minded

Daydreaming!

Qin Feng rolled his eyes, the ordinary people of this era were generally malnourished, and the physical fitness of the soldiers from the local government was not comparable to that of the Twelve Guards, he could imagine that once he used his set, the Tang army would be destroyed by more than half. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Don't look at the easy victory of the new army, but in fact, the energy and money he spent on these 1,500 new troops was only a lot more than the 16,000 men of the two guards.

On the one hand, he took great pains to recall the harsh methods used to train special forces in his previous life, and sorted them out and perfected them to make them more scientific and more applicable to the current society.

On the other hand, any equipment used in the practice is nothing but silver.

Three meals a day, with large pieces of fatty meat. Large bowl of bone broth.

The amount of money spent on them alone is an astronomical amount. Of course, this is Qin Feng's deliberate effort and money in order to create a model for an elite army.

"Isn't it General Xiao Qin, do you want to cherish yourself with a broom?" The eldest grandson Wuji smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and his narrow eyes flashed with a hint of cunning.

Qin Feng glared at Eldest Sun Wuji, and said coldly: "Lord Eldest Sun has nothing to say about governing the government, but he is not a foreigner for the military. Does the eldest grandson know how much wealth is needed to train such an elite teacher? Your Majesty, it's not that Weichen cherishes himself, but that my current financial resources in Datang can't support this large-scale training method at all. ”

Li Shimin thought of Qin Feng's repeated asking for money from him before, and after careful calculation, he couldn't help but be startled, groaned for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "It's me who is in a hurry." Datang really can't afford to raise such an army. ”

Wei Chigong stepped forward and asked, "How much did it cost?" ”

Qin Feng laughed, stretched out his hand and gestured to six, and said, "This number!" ”

"Six hundred silver cakes? Haha, it's a bit expensive, we can start training with the Twelve Guards. ”

Qin Feng's words were not shocking: "General Wei Chi, you think too much, six hundred guan is only half a month's expenditure. ”

"Shhh

The shock of today's day has made all the civil and military ministers numb, but when they heard this terrifying money figure, everyone still gasped again.

"Three thousand six hundred silver cakes ......"

A few guys had white faces, which was a scary number!

Although the princes and ministers present were all the top existences in the Tang Dynasty, and every household could come up with tens of thousands of silver cakes, they all relied on the most despised merchant methods to accumulate them.

After all, they, the princes and ministers, which family and household, there are not dozens of people in the few, and there are more than a few hundred people in the house, like the princes one by one.

The little money issued by the imperial court alone is not enough to feed them!

The so-called Shinong industry and commerce, in this Tang Dynasty, except for slaves, the status of merchants was the lowest, but if they did not do business, it would not be enough for them to spend money on the house.

In order to make a living, these close relatives of the princes and ministers have also become the most despised businessmen!

Even so, these 3,600 silver cakes are too terrifying for some people!

It's only been three months, and if you want to practice for a long time, how much money will it cost? It's a big hole that can't be filled!

"You're not kidding, are you?" Li Ji frowned and said.

"Uncle, how dare the little nephew joke? If you don't believe it, you can ask the emperor. ”

"Indeed!" Facing the expectant eyes, Li Shimin said very bitterly: "Don't say that the army of the entire Tang Dynasty, even the twelve guards can't afford to support it!" ”

"I'll pick some training programs to come out! The cost is not very large, but it can improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. ”

"Okay, I've agreed!"

Although more expenses will be generated, looking at that mighty army, Li Shimin is finally moved.

After thinking about it for a while, he said: "The new army can't be stopped, I will give you another power to expand the new army to 5,000 people, and you will be fully responsible." ”

"Emperor Xie!" There is no general who does not want to have many junior brothers under him, with the privilege of Li Shimin, he can choose at will in the whole army, Qin Feng is happy in his heart.

"I want two people to help me."

Li Shimin smiled: "Who do you fancie, although I agree." ”

"Su Lie of Zuo Wuwei and Zhang Shigui of the City Patrol Army."

"Accurate!"

Li Shimin knew that Zhang Shigui was still the last time he dealt with Qin Feng's assassination case, as for what kind of bird Su Lie was, he had no impression at all, and he didn't want to give the two commanders of the Tang Dynasty to Qin Feng for nothing.

……

"Yunxiao, is this what you told me about the special forces? It's really good, it's rare, it's so rare. I have more confidence in your special forces. After the exercise, Li Shimin

led a group of military attaches to the palace, and everyone sat down and talked together.

"It's just that the elite in the army, far from the special forces, this is just a preliminary achievement, and there is nothing to praise."

"Oh?"

Li Shimin's interest increased, and he hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"The next step, naturally, is to subdivide the new army again. Good rider, good archer, good commander, strong arm strength, good eyesight...... Divide them one by one and form units that suit them. Of course, its foundation is still the Great Array. It's just that when subdivided, it can better play the strengths of the soldiers, and it is more powerful to kill the enemy. At present, the minister still has to study the method of dealing with the cavalry, and then deduce it after the effect comes out. ”

"How to deal with cavalry?"

This time, it is not only Li Shimin, but even Li Jing, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin, and Hou Junji...... It's all eyes lit up,

Li Jing said: "Tell me what you think, I have been doing this research recently. Perhaps, we have similar thoughts! For Qin Feng, Li Jing has always had a optimistic attitude.

"Create a small array dominated by Mo Dao. Your Majesty, I have applied for a thousand military horses, but I have not been approved. There are also a thousand Mo knives, which are said to be impractical, expensive to cast, and ignore them, so I'm angry. ”

"Mo Dao Formation?" The smile in Li Jing's eyes became even stronger.

Li Ji said with a smile: "Military horses can be understood, cavalry is a sharp weapon for charging into battle, but the usefulness of this thing is limited!" ”

Qin Feng shook his head and said, "It's wrong, it's wrong!" Uncle has to see who the opponent is, not simply comparing practicality and cost performance. In the melee in the Central Plains, the Mo knife is really not worth advocating, one Mo knife can make ten machetes, which is also to kill the enemy. One Mo knife hand is naturally not as good as ten knife hands. But if it is unified today, the real enemies of the Tang Dynasty are the Turks and other northern peoples, and they are no longer princes from all walks of life. The troops are no longer dominated by foot soldiers, but cavalry with strong combat strength. Against cavalry, ten war knives are far less practical than one Mo knife. Of course, the best way to deal with cavalry is to ride and ride, the problem is that the number of cavalry in our Tang Dynasty can't catch up with the northern peoples, and we can't domesticate war horses without restrictions like them. Compared with the consumption of cavalry, the value of the Mo knife is more reflected. The cost performance is definitely above the cavalry, sword and shield soldiers. ”

Qin Feng said it was particularly cautious, and now people have not discovered the effect of the Mo knife, but as a later generation, he knows that the Mo knife is a sharp weapon that has reached its peak with the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. Especially against the Turkic light cavalry, the Modao has a decisive advantage.

Therefore, Qin Feng had the intention to be one step ahead of Li Jing and promote the Mo Dao, so that Datang would have such a sharp weapon one day earlier, and improve Datang's combat power against the Turks.

It's just that it backfired, Qin Fengren was soft-spoken and did not get taken seriously, even if he wanted to form a thousand-strong Modao team, he was resisted by the military department.

This kind of transcendent knowledge is beyond the comprehension of the very man.

The previous training was only to exercise the physical fitness of the soldiers, and did not deliberately carry out the training of the troops. Now that the foundations of the new army have been cast, it is time for change.

These days, Qin Feng is not a dull death, and he also asked each squad to list the characteristics of the soldiers one by one, including those with outstanding riding skills, outstanding endurance, outstanding explosiveness, outstanding arm strength, and outstanding eyesight.

In Qin Feng's planning, needless to say, those with outstanding riding skills are the inevitable candidates for cavalry; Outstanding strength is suitable for being a strange knife hand; Those with outstanding explosiveness are suitable for being a striker, and those with outstanding eyesight are naturally archers.

He has applied for 1,500 Mo knives several times, but Li Shimin always rejected them again and again on the grounds that the cost was expensive.

It is not unreasonable for those people to not be able to see through the Mo Dao, the Mo Dao team does have devastating power, but it has a congenital disadvantage and poor mobility. Mo knife soldiers must hold a Mo knife of fifty catties and wear heavy armor, and the mobility can be imagined.

The Turks are not a bunch of idiots, and they rush up with their heads when they look at such a group of ferocious knife formations. You must know that the Turks are not only good at riding, but their archery skills on horseback are also a must, and they can put the lower half of the Mo knife down just by flying a kite. If this problem is not solved, it is an empty word to deal with the Turkic cavalry with a Mo sword.

This is also the case, so Qin Feng's ideal Mo Dao Array is not a personal Mo Dao, its real power lies in the perfect combination of crossbowmen, archers, spearmen, sword soldiers, cavalry, and Mo Dao soldiers.

He didn't know if Li Jing had set out to study the Mo Dao Formation, but he was no stranger to the powerful Mo Dao Formation. After being reborn, he is also an enthusiast of the ancient battle array, and he has a deep understanding of the Mo Dao Formation of the glorious dynasty, and he just knows the basic tactics of the Mo Dao: he has the knowledge of later generations, and he has recently made up for military theories, and after several combinations, Qin Feng still has a high degree of confidence in his own restoration of this combat method.

"Nephew, your thoughts are exactly the same as mine, I have the same idea as you, that is, to form a comprehensive formation based on Modao, and you can tell me how you want to match it."

This kid didn't disappoint me! Even the thoughts are the same as mine.

Li Jing thought in his heart, he was full of energy, he stared at Qin Feng tightly, and he couldn't wait for him to finish his words in one breath.

Qin Feng thought to himself: The Mo Dao Formation was originally from your subordinates, and my idea is to collect your achievements, of course it is the same.

Facing the expectant gaze of the dignified military god, Qin Feng, who was a little weak-hearted, brought the Mo Dao Array in his mind one by one.

Li Jing listened carefully and shook his head incessantly.

And many times, he also raised his doubts and gave very good advice.

In an instant, one old and one young, immersed in discussing the creativity of the Mo Dao Formation.

There is no time to take care of the ministers.

Similarly, as the problem continued to deepen, everyone was shocked, they couldn't imagine that Qin Feng was so young that he would talk to Li Jing on the head, and many times even Li Jing sighed to himself, this time, everyone didn't dare to despise Qin Feng anymore.

Qin Feng, they may not care.

But with the addition of a military god Li Jing, the situation is different.

The conversation went on and on, and the time spent in the discussion between the two of them, until dusk, when it stopped.

The two who came back to their senses looked at each other and smiled, and said apologetically to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, it's rude!" ”

Li Shimin laughed: "You are old and young, let me also have a lot of knowledge, it's too late for me to be happy!" Who is to blame? Pharmacist, since you have the same thoughts, in the future, you should give more guidance to this kid Qin Feng! ”

Li Jing shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has nothing to add." General Xiao Qin thought more thoroughly and more perfectly than the minister, the Mo Dao Array was handed over to him to study, and the minister was very relieved, but the emperor had to take a good look at the weapons of the army, and he must not drag the new army, the new army gave us a new way of training, here, there are new everywhere, perhaps, the model of the new army will be promoted to the whole world, therefore, Qin Feng's requirements cannot be slowed down. The new army is not large in number, but it is a brand new army in Datang, and they must be prioritized in all aspects. ”

"I agreed!"

Li Shimin made a decision on the spot and said to Qin Feng: "In the future, if you have any requirements, go directly to the palace to find me, and if you ask me to see who dares to push back, Mo Dao, I will send it tomorrow." ”
