Chapter 19 Election of Generals
The idea of heavy cavalry was already born in the heart of Jiese when Erniang's cavalry company was established, and the benefits of heavy cavalry were very clear in Jiese's heart, and he was extremely good at charging, and he was a steely existence on the battlefield.
As for the disadvantages, Jiese also knows very well in his heart that the mobility is too poor to stop and fight, so he can only charge on the war horse, and once he stops, there is only a dead end left.
Heavy cavalry has high requirements for horses and people, and it is impossible to bear excessive weight on the battlefield, and even a little worse physique cannot bear it.
Of course, another disadvantage of heavy cavalry is that it costs money, and the consumption of funds is extremely large, and it is simply a team built with money.
However, Jiese still feels that it is very necessary to have a heavy cavalry company, in the coming troubled times, it may be a life-saving straw, and people in this era do not have the concept of heavy cavalry.
Jiese knows that the concept of heavy cavalry is unique to Europe, and there are few heavy cavalry in China, but the benefits of heavy cavalry are also obvious, it is simply a killing machine on the battlefield.
Since he had made up his mind to form a heavy cavalry company, he followed Hua Qiu and Tao Zongwang to devote himself to the study of the manufacture of heavy armor, and stayed in the laboratory for three days, except for solving physiological needs, he never went out for three days.
In addition to studying the heavy cavalry with him, Tao Zongwang also had to make a budget for the stones to build the mountain road, which can be said to be a larger workload, and Huaqiu also had a lot of craftsmen to deal with.
So in fact, most of the time he is thinking about it, and maybe he is the only one of the three who can come up with some clues, after all, he is the only one who has really seen heavy cavalry.
It just so happened that nearly three hundred people were captured this time, many of whom were able-bodied, and there was no need to worry about manpower matters, and now only horses remained.
Good war horses are not easy to get, most of the war horses in the Western Regions are owned by the state, and it is extremely difficult for private individuals to buy them.
During this period, the capital brought a lot of money, all of which was the income of the hotel during this time, and Huafu even sent a letter saying that the hotel was running well, so he let him continue to operate, and the relationship with the officialdom should also be good to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Huafu has made rapid progress these days, and he is very handy in handling the affairs of the shopping mall, except for being timid, there are no other big shortcomings, but the interpersonal relationship is handled very well.
Jiese had already sent a few people from the reconnaissance company to each Jumanlou, and at the same time, Huafu continued to open new Jumanlou in other cities.
Zhu Gui is now completely familiar with the affairs of the reconnaissance company, and he also knows the purpose of the reconnaissance company thoroughly.
In three days, Jiese finally worked out a little result with Hua Qiu and Tao Zongwang, and the matter of the armor was temporarily resolved.
Out of the laboratory, he went straight down the mountain, and in three days, Tao Zongwang's budget was also preliminarily made, and the demand for stones also had an approximate figure.
Jiese went down the mountain to find Song Qing first, and instructed him to find someone to collect stones, now there is something on the mountain, Jiese still habitually instructed Song Qing, although he knew that he was already a battalion staff officer of the third battalion, and he had his own things to deal with, but he was still used to looking for him.
In fact, until now, Jiese only found that he still lacked a capable assistant by his side, there were Song Qing and Gongsun Sheng before, but now they both have things to do, and they can't always be by their side, as if they are missing something.
After instructing Song Qing, Jiese went straight to the place where the prisoner was held at the foot of the mountain, and at this moment it was the four battalions guarding the prisoner.
The captives did not immediately devote themselves to training like those before them, but kept them in custody, and the people guarding them at this moment were Niu Buer and Yan Qing from the third company of the fourth battalion.
The subordinates quickly found the two of them, and when they heard that the big boss was coming, the two hurried to meet the ceremony, Yan Qing hadn't seen it since she had seen the ring a few days ago, but she didn't expect to come today.
Jiese responded to the two with a smile: "You two don't have to be polite, I came to see the captives today, and I want to choose some to take away, so you will have less trouble with the guards from now on." ”
Yan Qing said: "Brother, are all these captives going to be released, I think they have been quite well-behaved in the past two days, and it shouldn't be anything to do when they are released." ”
Jiese nodded with a smile and said, "They can't make any tricks, don't worry too much, by the way, how have you adapted in the past two days, haven't you been bullied by the brothers?" ”
Yan Qing said with a smile: "Brother, I have a good relationship with my brothers, how can you bully me, now I live here every day very full, and my heart is very satisfied." ”
Jiese smiled: "That's fine, you two come with me, help me choose the strongest group of them among them, I can be useful." ”
The two nodded yes, and followed Jiese to nearly three hundred captives, who were guarded by Yan Qing by his side, and did not worry at all.
Niu Fuji shouted at the captives: "You haven't seen the big boss here. ”
Many of the captives listened to the salute one after another, and when they saw that the big boss of Erlong Mountain was such a young man, the captives were inevitably a little surprised.
The precepts walked in front of the captives one by one, and selected one by one, as long as they were ordered by him, they were eliminated first, and those who were eliminated by him stood aside.
More than fifty were eliminated in the first round, and the speed of the ring color was very fast, and almost a glance decided the fate of a person.
Soon, more than thirty people were eliminated in the second round, and the rest were some strong people. And the more than 90 people who were eliminated could only stand aside and watch quietly, not knowing what fate awaited them.
There was no third round of elimination, and Jiese stood in front of the remaining many prisoners with his hands behind his back, and said loudly: "Everyone, from now on you will be members of the heavy cavalry company, but you have just passed the primary election, and as for how many people can stay in the end, it depends on your own creation." ”
Heavy cavalry company? What is that? Not only were there many prisoners, but Yan Qing and Niu Buji were all puzzled in their hearts, so the elder brother was going to set up a separate combat company again.
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts and puzzles in each other's eyes, they had never heard of any heavy cavalry companies, and they didn't know what new ideas their brother had.
In the past few days, Yan Qing has learned about the affairs of Erlong Mountain clearly, of course, many of them are known from Niu Fuji's mouth, and some from Liu Tang's mouth.
Knowing that Erlongshan already has an independent cavalry company, or led by Sun Erniang, I don't know why another one is set up, or what kind of heavy cavalry company, it is really puzzling.
Of course, Jiese didn't explain much to them, but just instructed: "You will separate the selected people from the eliminated people, and I will set up a separate logistics company for the eliminated people, and they will be responsible for the logistics and material transportation on the mountain in the future." ”
The two nodded yes, and quickly led people to place the two groups of people separately, while Jiese went directly up the mountain and notified the people to call all the generals to gather on the mountain.
Soon, all the generals gathered in the council hall, and they didn't know what was announced in charge, and Yan Qing and the others hadn't had time to tell the others about quitting the mountain.
I'm afraid that only Yan Qing and Niu Buji here know the general idea of the meeting, and it is estimated that it is related to the heavy cavalry company, as well as the logistics company.
Jiese said: "Everyone, I want to set up a heavy cavalry company, and I want to discuss and discuss the company commander today, and I also need to set up a logistics company, and I also need to choose a suitable company commander. ”
Everyone understands the meaning of logistics, basically does not participate in the war, I am afraid that no one here is willing to serve as the company commander of the logistics company, as for the heavy cavalry company, everyone has not heard of it, and they do not know the concept of the heavy cavalry company, but it is very domineering to hear the name, and there are some ideas in their hearts.
Erniang said: "Boss, don't we already have a cavalry company in Erlong Mountain, why do we have to set up one, is it too redundant?" ”
Hu Sanniang echoed: "Yes, our cavalry company has not fought a single battle since its establishment, it is too redundant, and now we want to set up a cavalry company, in fact, it is even more redundant?" ”
Jiese smiled: "I have naturally considered what the two of you said, but everything must be prevented before it happens, but the terrain here is not suitable for cavalry combat, but we can't deny the advantages of cavalry, I believe that one day we will be able to use it." ”
Then he faced everyone: "As for what our cottage has now, it is a light cavalry company, and what I want to build is a heavy cavalry company, I don't know if anyone has recommended themselves and wants to be the commander of the heavy cavalry company?" ”
In the face of the question, everyone was a little hesitant, they had never seen the heavy cavalry company, of course they didn't dare to agree rashly, and now every time there is a war, Erniang's cavalry company is sitting on a cold bench, basically there is no chance to get out of the station, and everyone really doesn't want to be like her.
After a long time, a person stood up and said, "Brother, I am willing to serve as the company commander of the heavy cavalry company, and I also ask my brother to fulfill it." ”
Jiese fixed his eyes and looked at it, but the person who responded to the voice turned out to be Shi Qian, how did he not expect that it would be Shi Qian to respond to this position, the ideal candidate in his heart is Zou Run, but since Shi Qian responded, it was a good choice to choose him.
Shi Qian didn't want to be embarrassed by quitting sex, and no one agreed for a while, so he stood up and agreed, although he was a little reluctant in his heart, but he worshiped the abstinence, so he couldn't see the abstinence encounter a cold scene.
The candidate was decided, and Jiese nodded lightly and said: "Since Shi Qian is willing to serve as the commander of the heavy cavalry company, then Hao Siwen will serve as the commander of the second company of the third battalion, and as for the candidate for the company staff officer, I will talk about it after a while." ”
