*************

Gongsun Pei habitually stroked his long beard lightly and expressed his opinion unhurriedly: "Before that, I repeatedly discussed with You'an, Zini and Zirou (Han Yangzi), and agreed that the top priority at the moment is to enrich the troops and grain and grass of Dongguan, Dong'an, Mengyin and Fei County, the above four counties are the western barrier of our Langya Kingdom and Chengyang County, all under the threat of the Yellow Turban bandits, once the war is ignited, it will be the main passage for a large number of disaster victims to flock in, without enough troops and materials, accidents may occur at any time. ”

Everyone nodded frequently, and Guan Ning added: "It is recommended that the lord expand the horse post military camp one hundred and ten miles west of Dongwu as soon as possible, and mobilize enough troops to garrison it!" The horse post is located in the first Xiongguan of Qilu Muling Pass south of 20 miles, to the north can reach Linqu and Qingqing, Hebei two states, to the south through Ju County and Xuzhou, to the west more than 100 miles, that is, the Yellow Turban thieves have long been entrenched in the Yishan and Taishan Mountains that stretch for thousands of miles, therefore, the horse post is the hub of the east-west north-south passage since ancient times, and it is the throat of Yanzhou Taishan County leading to my Chengyang County, the lord has to check it! ”

Liu Cun was very helpless: "Originally, I wanted to wait for next year's military spending to be more generous, and then expand the horse post into a strong fortress, but now it seems that there is no way to delay, the geographical location of the horse post is too important, Zirou?" ”

"The subordinates are here."

Han Yang, who was in charge of the overall finance, hurriedly replied.

Liu Cun said apologetically: "Let's squeeze it, it's really not possible, first postpone the construction plan of the Weishui Bridge until next autumn." ”

Han Yang was anxious: "Lord, the Weishui Bridge is a key project that millions of people are looking forward to day and night!" If it is built one day earlier, the four counties on both sides of Weishui will benefit one day earlier, and the tax will increase by at least one percent! ”

Liu Cun was embarrassed, and after thinking about it for a long time, he asked in a low voice: "Didn't the three major families of Gaomi and Gumu want to buy the textile workshop in the north of the city?" Sell it to them. ”

Han Yang was taken aback: "You can't sell it, lord!" That's your private industry, just opened for three months, the 500 new looms in it, are the latest machines that more than 800 craftsmen in Zhushan spent a year and a half to build, only three months into production, the output of all kinds of cloth exceeds the sum of the major workshops in Qingzhou, and there is no second such profitable textile workshop in the whole Han Dynasty, and the phoenix that can lay golden eggs can't be sold! ”

Liu Cun waved his hand: "What do I want so many industries for?" I had already planned to wait for another year and a half, when all kinds of machines and production techniques were mature, and the craftsmen in the workshops were proficient, so I would sell all the workshops under my name and let the ambitious merchants in various places run them themselves, and the money in exchange for the money would be used for the education of the children in the counties of Chengyang County and the pension for the disabled in the army......"

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't look at me like that, just think about it a little to understand that in order to promote the development of all industries, it is better than breaking the monopoly of one big company and jointly creating a fair and equal environment, except for steelmaking, coinage, weapons manufacturing and sea salt production that have to be protected, other industries should be handed over to the people to do, so that the people can rely on their own ingenuity and hard work under fair and just conditions, and become rich day by day, which is the real measure for the benefit of the country and the people."

"Besides, I don't lack anything, I have a house, a car, a wife and children, why do I need so much money? It is better to be happy alone than to be happy, and the prosperity of the whole people is the goal pursued by politicians. ”

"My lord—"

The hall knelt down, and everyone was extremely moved, and once again saw the noble character of the lord Liu Cun.

Liu Cun hurriedly beckoned everyone to sit down: "Sit down, there are still many things that need to be solved one by one." ”

The core meeting was held from the afternoon until midnight, when the various response measures and a series of emergency plans were determined, and there was a special person in charge of everything, and everyone took the initiative to shoulder heavy responsibilities and obligations.

Early the next morning, Liu Cun accompanied Wang Qi and Yan Shen to the cavalry training base in the west of the city to watch the training results of the 3,000 cavalry under the command of Tai Shici and Fu Min, the cavalry commander, in the past six months, and finally discussed the improved cavalry armor and weapons and equipment.

The overall strength of the cavalry of the Langya army is still very insufficient compared with the world's heroes, and Liu Cun out of selfishness, helplessly hid the production equipment of stirrups, horseshoes and Takahashi saddle in the bottom of his heart, which caused the expansion of the cavalry to take a long time, however, Tai Shi Ci and his soldiers improved the rope sleeve for stepping on the foot, using the comfortable "stirrup" mixed with leather and high-quality silk linen, the exquisite shape, the quality of the firm, and the ease of use, so Liu Cun was very shocked, for which Liu Cun deliberately got on the horse to test run a few laps, and praised Tai Shici and his subordinates, It was necessary to consider whether to mass-produce and equip the revolutionary horseshoe and Takahashi saddle.

Tai Shici did not think that a pair of improved "stirrups" was anything remarkable, but was full of praise for the cavalry helmet designed and developed by Liu Cun himself, believing that this new helmet composed of six pieces of thick cowhide splicing, reinforced joints with delicate copper strips, and processed and shaped through multiple processes not only has several times the protective power of traditional leather helmets, but also has a majestic shape, comfortable to wear, and more careful protection for the head, sides and back of the neck.

The only thing that makes Tai Shi Ci deeply regret the black tassel on the helmet, according to the latest military equipment regulations of the Langya Army, the helmet of the sailors is a white ponytail, the helmet of the infantry is a red ponytail, and the helmet of the cavalry is a natural black ponytail.

Liu Cun just smiled, and then quietly asked Tai Shici: "Do you know the reason why the armor of the officers and soldiers in the scout battalions of our army is inconspicuous?" The biggest advantage of cavalry is speed, and if your opponent has a long tassel on top of his head in an engagement, is it more conducive to the speed and accuracy of your shooting him? ”

Tai Shi Ci suddenly realized, and he smiled and never mentioned any regrets.

When noon approached, the excited Wang Qi and Yan Shen did not eat, and led the 1,000 cavalry and 1,500 war horses assigned to them to rush back to the Langya State station.

"It took two months for Lord Wang and Du Wei Fu Min to carefully select and recruit 3,200 recruits, most of whom were young and strong from Donglai and Beihai, most of whom could ride horses and were physically strong, and they would send people here for training within three days. Ni Qing, you are wounded, I will not take you with you on this expedition, you and all the instructors and officers over the age of 40 will stay, train more and better cavalry for our army, and strive to expand our army's cavalry to 15,000 officers and soldiers within two years. Liu Cun whispered to the two.

"Don't worry, your subordinates will train your soldiers wholeheartedly!"

Ni Qing is the leader of the Yellow Turban Scout Battalion who followed Xu He and Sima Ju to surrender to Cheng, has a superb horse kung fu, is especially good at running and battlefield reconnaissance, has very rich combat experience, is loyal, shrewd and capable, and has won Liu Cun's trust and respect.

It is a pity that he can't follow Liu Cun out to make contributions this time, but he does not heal from his old injuries, and this time he is fighting the former Yellow Turban brothers, so not only does he not have any unhappiness, but secretly appreciates the care of his lord Liu Cun.

Liu Cun turned to Tai Shici and smiled: "Give you five days off, and let's set off in five days." ”

Tai Shici was excited: "Big brother, which direction are you going in this time?" How many cavalry to bring? ”

"Lord Thorn Shi is coming back soon, in less than ten days, he has already sent me three letters, asking for assistance in helping him defend against the enemy outside Qingzhou, the situation in Qingzhou is becoming more and more tense, the rebel forces in various places are ready to move, and there are few people around Lord Thorn Shi who really obey him. We can ignore the face of the imperial court, but we can't help but repay Lord Thorn Shi, who has a deep affection for us, so this time, I personally led 3,500 soldiers to the north to help in the battle, all of them were cavalry, my 500 personal guard battalion, and the first phase of the martial arts academy 92 students also went together. Liu Cun replied.

Tai Shi Ci was overjoyed: "I have long wanted to see the effect of large-scale use of cavalry in combat, and I have been waiting for a year of hard training today!" ”
