Chapter 167: Heavy Cavalry
On the second day after returning to Peach Blossom Castle, Xiao Yi called all the generals to discuss affairs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After the inspection a few days ago, I had already figured out a clue last night, and it was time to start dealing with everything in the fort one by one.
Xiao Yi first looked at Dong Yinghua, who was standing aside with a straight face, and said, "Lord Dong, a few days ago, you also inspected the subordinate forts with your own officer, do you have anything to say about the military households?" ”
Everyone didn't understand, why Xiao Yi was the first to ask about this dull and pedantic Dong Yinghua, Dong Yinghua glanced at Xiao Yi and saw a faint light flashing in Xiao Yi's eyes.
At the moment, he suddenly realized, and said honestly: "The equipment is insufficient, the training is not good, and most of them are old and weak!" ”
As soon as Dong Yinghua's words came out, they were opposed by the vast majority of generals.
A captain shouted: "My lord, this old guy speaks without thinking, our subordinates are all elites for many years, how can we say that they are old and weak?" ”
"That's right, adults can't trust this guy!"
Xiao Yi looked at these people as if he hadn't heard them, just looked at Dong Yinghua, and said with a smile: "What Lord Dong said is the same as what this official has seen, and the matter of relaying the old and weak will be handed over to Dong Zhen to care for you!" ”
Xiao also has considerations, the dismissal of the old and weak is only the first step to weaken the strength of local officers, after these days of careful observation, Dong Yinghua is really an excellent candidate for this kind of work.
Dong Yinghua stepped forward with a look, bowed respectfully to Xiao Yi, and said, "The subordinate will receive the order." ”
Since Xiao Yi has decided, this is already a fact.
The rest of the officers faced each other, how could the defense lord suddenly remember to lay off the old and weak?
The main thing is that this matter was actually handed over to the 'Iron Rooster'! It seems that everyone is in trouble, this 'iron rooster' has always been unambiguous, and he has begun to play Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.
Xiao Yi looked at Chen Hao and said, "Lord Chen, the camp exercises and tuntian affairs in this castle will be taken care of by you!" ”
Chen Hao looked at Xiao Yi stunned, the supervisor Yingcao and Tuntian have great trust, and the oil and water are naturally very large, which also shows Xiao Yi's trust in himself.
Although he didn't enter the state city, Xiao Yi, who had been promoted all the way, was better than Liu Yiming, the 10,000-year-old defensive officer, and Xiao Yi trusted himself so much, and he also had a bright future.
Looking at Xiao Yi's sincere eyes, Chen Hao's whole person was a little choked: "The lower officials must be conscientious, loyal, and clear, and will never let the adults down!" ”
Xiao Yi smiled at Chen Hao and said: "What is the old brother doing when he says these words, when it comes to seniority, you are my brother, and you are quite experienced in this Peach Blossom Castle, you are the only one in this matter!" ”
When Chen Hao heard Xiao Yi's words, he was so moved that he didn't know what to say, and just nodded again and again.
"Lord Zheng, you will start to verify the number of military households, officers and soldiers in the fort from today onwards, and renaturalize all the military households and civilians in the fort, this is a heavy task, I hope Lord Zheng can do it well!"
Zheng Zhong has been sitting on Xiao Yi's right hand, dressed in a robe, with a willow beard looking gentle, at this time he got up with a smile and said: "It is my honor for my lord to hand over this matter to the lower officials, and the lower officials will start counting when they go back." ”
Xiao also got up and said: "In addition, Lord Zhenfu Dong is still in charge of internal and external laws and military discipline, from now on, the soldiers who have been laid off inside and outside Peach Blossom Fort will be organized to return home to reclaim wasteland, and the training of the rest of the sergeants cannot be broken, and the rest will perform their own duties!" ”
The clerk He Dapeng and the warden Liu Wenchang sat and waited and couldn't hear Xiao Yi mention the two of them, so the two of them discussed.
Liu Wenchang still waved his sleeves and got up, and said loudly: "Why don't you arrange for me to do something?" Is it to look down on? Then he snorted coldly.
He Dapeng, who was sitting below, also sneered.
When Chen Hao heard Liu Wenchang's words, his brows furrowed and he didn't know what he was thinking, and Zheng Zhong also shook his head secretly after hearing Liu Wenchang's words.
I saw Xiao Yi staring at Liu Wenchang, and Liu Wenchang, who looked at Liu Wenchang for a while, was full of goosebumps, and then suddenly laughed: "I forgot the two adults, Lord Liu and Lord He's work efficiency is known, so let's hand over the matter of arable land to the two adults, presumably the two adults will definitely be able to plow a good field." ”
"What?!" Liu Wenchang pointed at Xiao Yi and was speechless, Xiao Yi actually let the two of them go to the farm? How do you make sense!
The generals in the hall laughed when they saw Liu Wenchang's pig-like face, and asked the civil officials to plow the land, which was the first time in many years. Xiao Yi also has the intention to teach these two people a lesson, so as not to make trouble unreasonably all the time, and he doesn't have so much leisure to talk to them.
Xiao Yi hesitated again, the salary of the sergeant of the Daming Guard, the Ma Army gave two stones per month, the small flag of the infantry army gave one stone and two buckets of rice, and the total flag was one stone and five buckets.
If it is a tuntian, half of it is given, the garrison sergeant is given the same amount, the sergeant is given salt, and those who have a family are two catties a month, and if they do not have it, they are one catty.
The monthly ration can be exchanged for silver taels, but now that there is a shortage of rice and noodles, no one has changed it to silver taels, and they always receive rice and noodles.
Now the food and salary in the account books have been in arrears for some time, but fortunately, there are not many officers and soldiers left, even those who have been dismissed, Xiao is also ready to distribute the same number, these days will be issued to half first, and then the other half will be issued after the harvest of the two forts in the next year.
But it is still not a small amount, and it is difficult to do it with the grain storage of Peach Blossom Fort alone, and it is necessary to transport grain from Yong'an Fort and Changning Town. So Xiao also wrote an official document, asking Liu Shiren and Yang Xiao to bring some food for emergency tomorrow.
After the end of this meeting, the rumors that Xiao Yi had nothing to do outside were self-defeating, and Xiao Yi spent half a month getting familiar with the castles inside and outside Peach Blossom Fort and the castles in the territory, and as soon as he came back, he issued various orders vigorously, which was breathtaking.
Xiao Yi asked Dong Yinghua to be responsible for the dismissal of the old army, but it caused a burst of chickens and dogs in the fort, and there was an endless stream of people crying and crying to Xiao Yi's side in the past two days, both the sergeants who had been dismissed, and those officers in charge.
For those sergeants, it means that they can no longer be powerful and have nothing to do, and they can still eat and drink with the salary and silver of the court; As far as the management officers are concerned, the sergeants under them will be reduced by more than half, except for those family members in their hands, the rest are almost within the scope of Dong Yinghua's retrenchment.
On this day, Xiao Yi and Shi Gang were in the lobby.
Shi Lu smiled and said: "My lord, your trick is really good, these days the barracks are a lot better without those old soldiers, even the soldiers say that it is right to cut it like this." ”
Shi Gang patted Shi Lu and said with a laugh: "You didn't see the appearance of those team officers, and now there are no more people left under each of them, and they can't be powerful anymore." ”
Xiao Yi also laughed, he didn't expect Dong Yinghua to be so effective.
Since Dong Yinghua received Xiao Yi's order, he had no scruples about those landlords and heroes, and even went to the door to dismiss the sergeants, and almost all the original hundreds of officers and soldiers were laid off these days.
"My lord, Zhou Baotai, the team manager, asks to see you." Suddenly, a man walked into the lobby and whispered.
Xiao Yi snorted, and didn't rush to see him, but asked Shi Lu and the others, "What do you think Baotai is here for this week?" ”
Wang Dayong said: "My lord, these days I have met with Zhou Baotai often in the racecourse, this person is very good at kung fu immediately, better than me, and is about to mention it to adults." ”
Shi Gang said in disbelief: "I still don't believe that there is someone who is better than you in kung fu?" ”
Xiao Yi was also interested, and said, "Let's talk about it." ”
Wang Dayong nodded: "Lao Shi doesn't understand, driving horses is divided into fast horses and heavy horses, I am familiar with breeding horses and recognizing horses, good at driving fast horses, and adults also know, so I am often sent to do raid sentry detectives, this is my director, but that Zhou Baotai is different, I saw that his moves are powerful and heavy, and it is good to wield a big knife immediately, this person is good at heavy horses." ”
Seeing Xiao Yi nodding, Wang Dayong continued: "Heavy horses, cloaking in strong and stubborn bursts into the formation, can be used for breaking the formation directly or attacking the formation on the side, adults can try this person, if it is available..."
Wang Dayong stared at Xiao Yi and muttered, "Maybe it's time to establish a cavalry." ”
Xiao Yi nodded, heavy armored cavalry, this is a distant and loud name, even in this era of the trend of firearms development, the role of heavy armored cavalry is still not negligible.
Although Xiao Yi was very envious of having such a team of ironclad cavalry, he also muttered that the heavy armored cavalry was not so easy to establish.
It is impossible to ignore the selection of horses from the armor road, and a complete heavy armored cavalry needs no less than a hundred taels for the whole body, and in addition, it needs a long time of training and battle baptism to become a strong army.
Xiao Yi only had ideas at this time, but there were many constraints to the actual implementation.
sighed at the moment and said, "Call Zhou Baotai in." (To be continued.) )
