"Therefore, the ten ** that the spear formation faces will be the enemy's cavalry galloping. The length of the spear was not the most important thing to deal with the enemy's cavalry, as it was unlikely that the enemy would use a spear of more than two feet, and it could not be used on a horse, and even if it was used for foot combat, it would be a little cumbersome. But on the contrary, it is necessary to pay attention to the flexibility of the use of the spear, the enemy cavalry comes and goes, and the spearman is likely to adjust the direction of the spear dozens or hundreds of times a day. Maintain a deterrent to the cavalry that rushes at you at all times. ”

"Therefore, it is advisable for me to build a spear and spear length of one zhang and eight feet, and the head of the spear should not exceed four taels, otherwise the center of gravity will be unstable and it will not be easy to wield. In addition, I have heard that the heads of the Mongols are like chisels, and their ability to penetrate heavy armor is that our spears can be made of imitation of their spear heads. Jinghu is rich in moso bamboo, which can be used as a material for gun barrels, and the toughness and strength of the fine-haired bamboo after special treatment are sufficient, and the most important point is that the quantity is large and cheap, and it can be used to equip the army in large quantities."

"You don't want to learn from Zhuge Wuhou," Zheng Yunming smiled and shook his hand: "If you have to bow down to yourself, everyone will be tired to death, you are planning a big strategy, and the small things such as the length of the spear and gun are left to the generals on the front line to judge." ”

"That being said, the generals can't let go of these things. Di Wuxiang wanted to think of breaking the spear of the southern thief, and Han Shizhong wanted to reform the range of the divine arm bow. Bai Yijie smiled bitterly: "The person who commands the army always wants to be perfect in weapons, because this is almost the easiest thing to do in the process of governing the army." ”

"Speaking of which." He suddenly asked Zheng Yunming: "What do you think of the controversy between the fancy costume and the pure team that has continued to this day?" ”

The so-called fancy costume refers to the integration of soldiers using various weapons into a unit to achieve the best effect of various weapons cooperating with each other. The so-called pure team is to organize all soldiers using the same weapon into a team to achieve the optimization of the power of a single weapon. These two types of weapons have puzzled commanders and generals from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, and the state has repeatedly tried to give official guidance on the way to organize weapons, but the results have not been evident to this day.

"I think that the battle between the costume and the pure team, just like the dispute between the mind and the science, is not a question of who is good and who is bad, but two sides of the same thing." Zheng Yunming said: "That's why there will be no conclusion after so many years. ”

"The advantage of the flower costume is that it is flexible, and the so-called sparrow is small and has all kinds of organs. When all the weapons are condensed into a squad, the various weapons work together to their strengths and cover each other's weaknesses. Whether it's long-range shooting or close-range combat, you can handle it with ease. ”

"The advantage of the pure team is concentration, and the use of quantitative concentration to form a local superiority on the battlefield, so as to use this local superiority as a breakthrough point to form a general trend that is beneficial to one's own side. For example, the concentration of spears can create the effect of repelling horses and walls, which can be very useful against cavalry assaults. The concentration of strong crossbows can form a powerful rain of arrows, which is particularly effective against the morale of the enemy's vanguard. The concentration of swordsmen can form a close-quarters melee in a confined space battlefield, and any weapon can be wielded with better results than when used individually, as long as there are enough weapons. ”

"But both approaches have their own drawbacks."

"The first disadvantage of the fancy costume is that the number of weapons is insufficient, and the enemy will usually only face one or two weapons, such as a bow, a gun or a knife, and they will be well prepared to deal with them one by one. Therefore, if the flower team wants to overwhelm the enemy, it is necessary to rely on the martial arts of the soldiers themselves, and then make an analogy, in the case of a fifty-person flower team, it is like a person who gave birth to fifty arms, and each arm holds a weapon, but when facing against an enemy, there is actually only one weapon that can defeat the enemy, and the key to victory or defeat lies in the skill of the man who manipulates the weapon. ”

"Therefore, the soldiers are not good, and they are not enough to use fancy clothes."

"The problem of the pure team is that the difference in the martial arts of the soldiers has been flattened. Even if he is a sharpshooter in a hundred hundred, he is no different from an ordinary archer in a pure team, so the advantages of training are not easy to show. Secondly, all kinds of weapons between the pure team need a certain battlefield space to cooperate with each other, if they encounter terrain barriers or lose cooperation for other reasons, then the pure team may be broken by the enemy's targeted various attacks. ”

"So we can often see that fighting in mountainous or water network areas where space is cramped, pure teams are not as good as fancy clothes. But in the open field, the fancy costume is often not as good as the pure team. Simply talking about whether it is better to dress up or play a pure team loses the objectivity of the discussion according to the time and place. ”

"By the way, with the geographical environment of Jinghu and Lianghuai, the flower costume team actually has a lot of room to display, but the current martial arts of the Tulong Army and the invincible army and the loyal guard army can't compare, and it is still very early to form a strong and powerful flower costume team."

Bai Yijie rode on the horse and bowed his hand: "It is worthy of being the manager, these three words of truth, the ministers of Lin'an may not be able to understand it even if they think about it for a lifetime." ”

"The ministers are not fools, this truth is still understood." Zheng Yunming shook his head and said: "But the person in charge of the Privy Council must have his own close local generals, which is related to the position of the political office, and there are many times when the argument in the political hall is not right or wrong, but to stand in line." ”

"When will the Chinese people be able to work together for the Great Song Dynasty regardless of their position, and it is really not enough." Wang Deng said behind him.

Zheng Yunming and Bai Yijie laughed in unison. The difference is that Bai Yijie is just smiling, while Zheng Yunming is laughing.

"If the whole country is united, it will be completely independent of its position for one thing." Zheng Yunming said: "That must be a sign of the death of the country." ”

"It is impossible for a person who is not a sage to be without his own selfishness. The truly savvy ruler does not try to erase people's selfish motives, but finds a balance between twisting and turning. ”

"The whole country is united, and that is the Qin State." Bai Yijie said: "It is not difficult to sweep through the Eight Desolations, but once the expedition is stopped, it will immediately fall apart. It was precisely when Gaozu saw this precedent that he vigorously promoted the rule of inaction in the early Han Dynasty, which was actually a process of recuperation for the people living under the high pressure of the whole country. ”

Yang Luo yawned and said lazily: "There are too many things to say about the big truth of the political affairs hall, let's talk about something practical." The army has suddenly expanded with so many people, and the equipment of the first tent needs to be increased, and now the treasury in Xiangyang City has not been touched, and the chief administrator can order a part of it to be opened."

"You can't make a warrant, and if you open the treasury privately, you're telling the truth." Zheng Yunming said: "Not to mention the armor in the treasury of the Division, I don't trust it very much. ”

He said to Bai Yijie: "Sir, if you don't feel tired, we still have a place to see." ”

The place he said was in the southern city of Xiangyang, where large and small blacksmith shops, leather shops, pasting shops, gold and silver shops, lacquer shops, and carpenter shops gathered, and it was the place where the craftsmen in the city gathered.

Zheng Yunming turned over and dismounted, led Bai Yijie to a blacksmith shop, and said, "Compared to the armor in the treasury, I trust this person's forged armor more. ”

The young man who was cutting a long knife on the whetstone outside the blacksmith saw Zheng Yunming coming, and hurriedly went into the shop to report to the master.

When I was young, two people walked out of the shop, and the white and thin old man who walked behind was Xu Shiqing, the leader of the Ezhou mine blacksmith, the person in front of him was only wearing a short coat on his upper body, his muscles were knotted, his complexion was black and translucent, and his face was very rough.

Zheng Yunming said to Bai Yijie: "This is the blacksmith Ke, a master of forging and smelting in Jinghu and two roads, and the tall foot of Xu Laozhang, the leader of the Ezhou craftsman household. ”

The Ke blacksmith bowed down to Bai Yijie and said, "I am Ke Shenhu, and I don't have any other skills, but I can play a good iron." ”

Zheng Yunming said with a smile: "The swords and armor under your command are not just good. The day before yesterday, I saw him cut a warrior into two pieces with a single knife in Wulipo, with the iron shield in his hand and the iron armor on his body, and there was not even a small gap in the knife. That's not just a good knife, it's enough to be a treasure blade. ”

Xu Shiqing said on the side: "What do you say, compared to the fact that the chief manager got the Western Regions Treasure Knife in Shatou City, his craftsmanship is still far behind. "That's not an ordinary wrought iron weapon." Zheng Yunming said: "The pure gold and cold iron used is from Tianzhu, which is originally a rare casting material in the world, not because of the high craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the Western Regions. ”

Ke Shenhu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Where can I buy this kind of Pure Gold Cold Iron?" ”

Zheng Yunming said with a smile: "That's difficult, the king of Tianzhu soil regards the iron ore that produces cold iron as a treasure, and sends heavy troops to guard it, and he doesn't show it when he is free." It is even more important to send people to strictly check the checkpoints to prevent the cold iron from flowing out of the country, if it were not for the powerful Muslim merchants in Tianzhu, even the big food would not be able to get this kind of cold iron. If the Han people want to get it, it is even more difficult. ”

Naturally, he was playing with the historical common sense in the memory of his previous life. But he didn't know that Tianzhu's steel was not far from the Central Plains. There are many Tianzhu steel through the Silk Road from the Western Regions into the Central Plains. Mixed with the high-quality steel produced in the Western Regions, the Central Plains named these high-quality steels that do not identify the origin as iron. Some of the iron swords being used in the hands of both sides were made of tenzhu steel from the other side of the Himalayas.

But Ke Shenhu couldn't help but be very depressed when he heard this.

Zheng Yunming saw that Ke Shenhu was deflated, and comforted: "There are many good irons in the world, so why stick to one or two rare materials?" Don't talk about other places, just say that there is a place where kapok flourishes in the territory of Banzhou in southern Sichuan, and there are hundreds of millions of catties of iron ore buried under it, which is of high quality, but unfortunately the road is far away, and it is still unknown, and it is really a tyrannical thing. ”

Bai Yijie asked: "Since it is unknown, the chief manager grew up in Lin'an since he was a child, how did he know that there is an iron mine buried in the ground of Banzhou thousands of miles away?" ”
