Feng Youcai discussed with Zheng Hao and Zhang Yang and decided: After discussing the Tanxi area, the future Tanxi area is ready to be renamed Hexi District, the original largest tribe in the area is the Wuda tribe, and Wuda Township is set up on the site of its camp, and the district government is located in Wuda Township, and Wulan Township is established on the camp of the original Wulan tribe in the north; Wusi Township was established on the camp of the Wusi tribe, Sugou Township was established in the northwest, Wuhushan Township was set up in the west of Wuhushan Mountain, and Riverside Township was set up in the south, so that Wuda District had 6 townships under its jurisdiction and was also a county-level unit. Since this place is not suitable for growing crops, the area is set as a pastoral area, mainly grazing sheep, horses, cattle, and mules; Sheep mainly provide meat and wool and cashmere, the cattle bred are mainly used for civilian farmland and civilian carts, and horses and mules are mainly used for military purposes.
Feng Youcai plans to station 1 cavalry team of 1,000 people and 1 infantry team of 1,000 people in this area, and this will be used as a base for his activities in the future, except for herding and synthesis, outsiders are not allowed to come in here. Here will be the forward position of their own attack on the Urat tribe and the left part of Alxa, and the cattle and horses and sheep and other livestock that have been plundered in the future will also be driven back, instead of being exchanged for the system, so that they can breed and grow here, because Meimei said that the livestock purchased by the system are all male, and if you want to breed, you must have a female.
When the iron mountain side wall was built, on February 30, Wudabao also began to be built, this fort is planned to be 300 * 300, 6 meters high, not the local fort in Ningxia, but built in the style of Lingbao, so the area is not large, focusing on defense. In addition, beacon piers were established on the banks of the Yellow River in the north of Wulan Township and on the edge of the desert in the west of Sugou Township, and passes were established on the mountain road leading to the left part of Alxa. It was built as a military town. The strength of the construction is the 2 thousand troops stationed here. The cavalry was also a mixed cavalry pairing, including 2 heavy cavalry centurions and 7 light cavalry centurions; The army consists of 3 hundred-man teams each of pikemen, sword and shield men, and archers.
Looking at this former Mongolian pasture, Feng Youcai was also very emotional, it used to be such a small number of tribes, and the Ming Dynasty, who could fight together, continued to retreat the defense line, but when they came to attack, they did not unite, and let themselves break through, so that now it has become their own territory.
Feng Youcai synthesized 1 middle-level government officer Zhao Li and 6 junior government personnel respectively, responsible for the management of the entire district; 1 senior staff officer, Zhang Sheng, carried out the stationing and deployment and combat management of these two thousand-man teams; This can reduce Feng Youcai's great energy.
During the construction of Wuda District, Feng Youcai also began to synthesize what kind of livestock is suitable, and he still has to consult the smart Meimei on this matter: "Meimei, I need sheep for meat, cattle and war horses for pulling carts, you have to help me choose a few breeds."
"Young master, each breed has its own specialty, I can't call the shots for you, let me tell you you you and you will understand, such as horses, everyone knows that sweat and blood BMW is good, slender, thin waist, and tall height, but his endurance is insufficient, he can't pull a car, and he is very picky about his diet, it is difficult to raise, but his explosiveness is good, and it is very suitable for riding or cavalry charging when the military general is alone; The appearance of the Mongolian horse is far from that of the sweaty BMW, and it is also short and short, but it has good endurance, is not picky about grain and grass, and has strong adaptability, which is especially suitable for survival in the harsh environment of the north; Therefore, the young master should choose according to the needs and the different use environment."
"Meimei, China has always been hybridizing horses, but after a few generations, all of them will be scrapped, so what should we do with our ranch?"
"Young master, if you want to keep the horse breed from declining for a long time, then choose the Arabian horse, although the performance is good, but he is not very hardy, otherwise you can only choose a thoroughbred?"
"Is it cheaper to buy from the system or to breed it yourself?"
"Of course, it's cheaper for you to breed it yourself."
"Is it okay for me to buy all the ponies?"
"Yes, and the price is very cheap, if you want to be a stallion, you can only start breeding from the pony, and the adult horses synthesized from the system are already gelding, and they can't be used for breeding."
"Can't you synthesize mares or ewes in the system?"
"Can't"
"Can that make a woman?"
"Yes, but your level is not enough, you can't synthesize a woman until you reach the kingdom, so you better find a way to level up before that."
"Then if the system reaches the kingdom level, it can also be synthesized into mares?"
"Yes, young master"
It's too far away, so let's ask the synthetic soldier to marry a local woman first. The next time I went to Ningxia and Xi'an, I added a condition to the requirements for recruiting displaced people, that is, there were beautiful unmarried girls and they were willing to marry officers and soldiers as wives, and such families were also recruited. In addition, all units were notified that as long as there were those who were willing to get married, they would approve and agree to it, and they would all have certain material rewards. Or do you want to speed up the integration with each other, Feng Youcai thought to himself.
Finally, after careful study of the performance of various horses, it was decided that cattle and sheep should choose local breeds in Mongolia, which are adaptable and suitable for the current situation. After all, there will be more wars with the two ethnic groups in the north for a period of time from now on, and the north will be pacified, but the south will be easily pacified.
Soon there will be people who can breed livestock and veterinarians, the first to arrive in Hebin Township, where cattle and sheep are mainly raised, the area is narrow, the soil is poor, and the pasture is not abundant, so a small number of cattle and sheep are raised.
For horses, three small breeds of horses, cattle and sheep are bred in the three townships of Wuda, Wusi and Wuhushan, and Mongolian horses are still the main ones in Sugou and Wulan townships.
Each township according to the region and environment planning 15-25 grazing villages, can not overgraze, but also take into account the ecological environment, and so on the beacon tower, pass and Wudabao construction, Feng Youcai is ready to build a few more small lakes in each township, anyway, he has this condition, so as to better promote the development of aquaculture.
After the planning is done, it is the business of the local government, and Feng Youcai is only responsible for providing livestock and raising personnel.
On March 1, Feng Youcai received population points, a significant increase from the previous month, mainly because of the division of land, the reduction of salt prices and the reduction of grain prices, resulting in a significant increase in Feng Youcai's support rate, but it is still not worth mentioning compared to plunder, or how to say that the gold belt of murder and arson.
Feng Youcai decided that when he returned to Qianhu, he still asked Zhang Yang to make a plan to rob again as soon as possible, one is to obtain points and merits, and the other is to obtain cattle, horses and sheep to enrich his pasture. Besides, even if it is synthesized, it can only be synthesized male, and the female still has to be plundered; The third is to gradually reduce the population of the Mongols and reduce their war potential.
As for the construction of Hexi District, it was completely entrusted to Zhang Sheng and Zhao Li.
