"As the so-called no rules are not a circle, after the formation of the special cavalry, the war horse is difficult to raise in place for a while, and it is still necessary for the generals of all walks of life to serve the public as a whole, gather all the war horses under their command, and send them into the cavalry together, and quickly expand the cavalry army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

For the most important mobile force in the era of cold weapons - cavalry, Li Jing can't pay too much attention to it, but due to the lack of war horses under his command, he can only aim at the horse teams under the command of the generals of various departments, such as Zhao Mosheng has a cavalry team of 100 people who have been captured, Zheng Renbao is in Lanzhou, and he is even more defeated by Zhou Hongtu's personal guards and horses, capturing hundreds of war horses.

This decisive battle with the Aiwannian Division, coupled with the breakthrough of the provincial capital of Yangqu, a lot of war horses, mules and horses were captured, counted, there are thousands of war horses, thousands of mules and horses, but the cavalry must be a war horse with excellent bearing endurance, even if the captured official army war horses, most of them are overwhelmed, and they can only make do.

Shanxi this boundary, there is also an advantage, that is, close to the border, and the Mongolian tribes are not far away, if there is money and food, there are tribes outside the Sai are willing to do business with the Ming Dynasty, not to mention anything else, the war horse can still be fully guaranteed, Li Jing's eyes have long been staring at this piece, just wait for Shichun County to settle down, it is necessary to start border trade, in exchange for war horses is the top priority.

"My lord, one day's food for the cavalry can cover the needs of the infantry for three days, not counting the equipment, if it is calculated according to 8,000 men and horses, a year's expenses, we will definitely not be able to afford it." Li Denggao can be regarded as completely extinguishing his careful thoughts, but when he suddenly heard that he mentioned the cavalry again, he still couldn't help but complain.

This is not the previous cavalry of three or five hundred people, but it is expected to be expanded within the year after the eight thousand people, just the eight thousand horses required by the war horses are counted in rotation, so it is worth tens of thousands of horses, this alone, even if the lowest purchase price is exchanged for the Mongolian tribe, it will cost two or three hundred thousand taels of silver, plus the later feeding and protection, it will have to completely drag down the already not very generous finance.

"Time does not wait for me, if there are no soldiers at hand, how can he win the world in the future? If you don't give it, you can rob the big clan, although we have robbed a lot of Shanxi, but the foundation of many rich households can be in the south and outside the mouth, and I am afraid that there is no money? ! "Li Jing is now completely integrated into the thinking of the late Ming Dynasty, looting at every turn, anyway, he is bent on strengthening his own power, and he can't control his life, so what's the use of asking for money.

"My lord, if the eight thousand cavalry army is completed, we will be invincible in this Shanxi territory, but the commander of this cavalry army is only General Liang at the moment, right?" There is a general, his eyes are hot to look at Liang Sijiu who is sitting on the side, envy in his heart, this is the benefit of having a stunt, at the moment the whole army is a general who knows how to ride the army, and in the future, he will lead three or five thousand soldiers and horses, it will not be a problem, right? !

Li Jing glanced at Liang Sijiu beside him slightly, and just set a benchmark for him, stimulating these generals to be angry, "At the moment, he is the only one, but in the future, you can also learn to command the cavalry, those who don't understand can ask for advice nearby, if you can meet the standard, it is okay to transfer to the cavalry, and besides, everyone is fighting with their lives, without you, who can I use." ”

The demagogic language repeatedly said, "To fight this time back to the division, all armies must be reduced in number, the establishment will be expanded, and all generals will be rewarded and rewarded, and it will no longer be a problem to add officials to knighthood." ”

In the final analysis, they took out their lives to fight, at first it was just for the chance to live, but later, which was not for the glory and wealth and the return of his hometown after becoming famous.

Then they stared at Li Jing one by one, and listened to him again, "The main force of the barracks went out to fight before, and naturally the rear needs to keep a large army to guard the place of bullet pressure to prevent chaos, but in the future, we will be temporarily recruited by the imperial court, everything has changed, the local army is left behind, and there is no need to become an independent army. ”

"What?! Eight brigades ?! ”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, and now that there are only five brigades of soldiers, there are naturally only so many positions, but once the establishment is expanded, won't this vacant post have to be promoted from among them?

"Lord, how can the calculation of these eight brigades be expanded?" Zhao Mosheng and the others were also confused, and when they suddenly heard about it, they felt a little unhappy in their hearts, after all, the current five brigade rates were also fought in the battle array with a knife and a gun, and their merits in the army were countable.

Zhao Mosheng led the troops to attack Wutai, Dingxiang, Zheng Renbao led the troops to break the Lan Lan, Li Mao was even in one breath even under the Hequ, Baode, Yongning Prefecture, Guo Sheng led the troops to attack Dai County in the north, Fanzhi, and resisted the soldiers and horses of Datong Town, and Tan Wu had been leading the army camp to fight before, and later captured Pingding Prefecture, and captured tens of thousands of people to the north.

But Li Jing suddenly wants to add three brigades, which can make everyone wonder, look left and right, and no one else has more credit than these five people!

"In addition to the regular soldiers of the five brigades, I want to raise the personal guard battalion as the pro-guard brigade of the whole army, select and transfer the elite from each army to form the whole army teaching brigade, and raise the cavalry of the whole army to set up a separate cavalry brigade, of which there are two brigades of the personal guard cavalry, each brigade has a quota of 8,000, and the teaching brigade is the elite of the whole army.

"In addition, the establishment of these three brigades is called the independent town of the begging army, which is personally commanded by me, and the next three brigades do not have a brigade commander, only a deputy commander to command, and you will be rewarded for your achievements on the battlefield in the future!"

"Whoa!" When the generals heard this, they immediately understood that Li Jing had asked for the positions of the three brigades to be vacated, and asked everyone to work hard, and they had a hope for the future, and they were all overjoyed.

"The army is stationed in Xin County, the time is long, the army is not good, the army goes back today, be sure to select men and horses, prepare to set off as soon as possible, except for Zhao Mosheng's brigade, after the rest of the departments plan properly, report the number of troops and equipment in accordance with the military order, except for the necessary things, all the rest are handed over, in addition, several commanders stay, discuss the matter of future preparation, and the rest of the generals go down to prepare first!"

"Whoa!"

Seeing that the scene was over, and seeing that they had something to talk about, they immediately carefully took the bench and went down without mentioning it. (To be continued.) )
