Chapter 129: Vacation
Sitting in the northwest of the Han Dynasty, he ruled millions of Li people, supported 200,000 soldiers, and successively broke Han Sui, collected Qianghu, and conquered the Xiongnu. According to Xianbei in the north, the western regions in the west, looking at the east.
Li Zheng's current strength, not to mention the best in the world, is also first-class! Even Dong Zhuo, who controls the government, is slightly inferior in some aspects, let alone the Kwantung princes who have not yet risen!
It can be said that with such a process, Li Zheng has the ability to be unscrupulous and truly fight for freedom.
Lying on a recliner, Li Zheng squinted slightly, looking leisurely and comfortable, and he was simply envious of others. However, what made Li Zheng a little dissatisfied was that his daughter-in-law was not around.
If there is a beautiful woman by her side at this time, playing the piano, dancing, drinking a few drinks with him, chatting, that is a beautiful thing in the world.
However, although Xun Ying is versatile, her strong and distinct personality makes Li Zheng unable to enjoy this kind of benefit in ordinary times.
Of course, Li Zheng doesn't care, daughter-in-law, it's not a matter of keeping her at home all day long and not letting her go out, a woman with a career is more energetic and attractive.
Li Zheng relaxed all his body, and gradually chewed and sorted out all the qiē that had happened during this period of time in his mind, and finally couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Although he has his current strength, he is not afraid of Dong Zhuo, and he is even confident that he can break Dong Zhuo and win Guanzhong at this time. But just think about it.
First of all, in the past two years, although there is no war-weariness in the army, Li Zheng must also take this into account. One by one.
Secondly, Dong Zhuo is a strong man after all, and the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command are not paper-based, but quite elite. If you want to take Guanzhong from Dong Zhuo at this time, there must be a lot of losses. Dong Zhuo's army, Li Zheng believes, must be stronger than the Huns! Moreover, Li Zheng did not have the terrain conversion drawings in his hand, so it was impossible to stew Dong Zhuo with a spoonful of it just like he did with the Huns on the right.
Third, even if Dong Zhuo is defeated and Guanzhong is taken, what should the court in Chang'an do? Is it to learn from Cao Cao to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes? Or simply erase this empty shell that only has one frame left?
Fourth, after all, Dong Zhuo still plays an important role in suppressing the Kwantung princes. If Li Zheng attacked Dong Zhuo at this time, it would inevitably give the princes of Guanzhong a chance to develop and grow!
Finally, the Western Regions, Xianbei in the north, and the Xiongnu on the left side of the annexed states are still great hidden dangers.
Thinking of this, Li Zheng couldn't help but sigh slightly.
At the end of the day, it's still not strong enough.
Although there are 200,000 soldiers, horses, and auxiliary soldiers under his command, more than ninety percent of them are just ordinary soldiers.
Although the ordinary troops under Li Zheng's command are stronger than the armies under the command of other princes due to equipment and food, they are not ridiculously strong. It's a big pity that ordinary classes can't get the blessing of the Warhorse skill system.
If there were 50,000 cavalry, what would Li Zheng care? !
Just crush it!
It's a pity that there are several types of cavalry, and the total number of people is less than 5,000. Small-scale wars are invincible, but they are still stretched thin in the face of large-scale wars of hundreds of thousands of people.
So what Li Zheng has to do now is to develop and wait.
Refine internal affairs, develop people's livelihood, enhance the foundation and war potential, and wait for the reproduction and expansion of the scale of war horses. As for the number of the army, it will be temporarily stable at about 200,000, and no further conscription will be continued.
After lunch, Li Zheng changed into his regular clothes, dressed in a neat and neat short dress, left the mansion, and went to the northern section of the grassland.
The current area of the pasture has reached about 20,000 mu after two consecutive systematic expansions. The area of effect of the Growth Accelerator will now cover the meadows.
The cavalry species of the Great War, since the defeat of the Xiongnu on the right, have been stationed in the pasture, while breeding and training. Daily training, in the open area of the northern section of the grassland.
In the sky, one hundred and fifty golden-winged tiger riders roared like a hurricane, either diving, or rising, or reversing, forming different battle formations, and doing a series of training.
On the grass, a thousand blue-armored warriors were divided into several parts, galloping and galloping. They seem to be inseparable from each other, but they are closely connected, and the commanders and captains often only need one look or one movement, and the soldiers and horses of each unit can put on various battle formations and practice all kinds of galloping and shooting tactics.
There are also mountain wolves riding, every time they charge, a sword light in all directions, like a swarm of bees, just like wolves hunting on the prairie. But they can often advance and retreat together, and not leave one behind. And it is extremely fast, often striking away, retreating and charging, all as one.
There are also Destroying Blade War Horses, although there are only three hundred in number, but this kind of first-order war horse is the most suitable heavy horse to charge into battle, rushing to kill, the momentum is terrifying, compared to the momentum of the three thousand mountain wolf rides, not much worse. They're practicing tactics such as chiseling, steering, and so on.
In the lake not far away, there are more than a dozen warships practicing their formation. In the water next to the warship, a huge shadow loomed, it was the Pig Po Dragoon.
The armor of the pig woman dragon riding is very peculiar.
The knight's equipment is somewhat similar to the diving equipment of Li Zheng's era, but it does not have the same cumbersome oxygen tank, and the special effect of the armor itself alone can support the soldiers to survive underwater for half an hour. The material is tough and the surface is slippery, like the skin of a loach.
The armor of the Pig Po Dragoon itself focuses on the head and abdomen. This part of the head armor is like a mask with a protruding dorsal fin similar to a shark in the middle, firmly attached to the upper jaw of the huge head of the pig-poon dragoon, protecting its large mouth like a crocodile. The streamlined protrusions on the mask are very sharp, and they are a sharp weapon used to destroy enemy ships! The other part focuses on protecting the soft belly of the pig woman dragoon. Similar to crocodiles, the Pig Dragoon has a very tough, thick scale armor on its back, and a slightly weaker defense on its abdomen. This part of the armor, starting from the jaw of the pig dragon rider, has been going down, protecting the entire chest and abdomen tightly.
Dressed in slippery armor like loaches, the Pig Dragoon held two sharp three-foot-long water splitting spines, lying on the back of the Pig Po Dragoon, interspersed in the water.
Li Zheng walked slowly through this area and watched all the drill scenes in his eyes.
The strength of the war cavalry is not only reflected in the comprehensive elements of the war cavalry, but also in the tacit understanding between the war cavalry and the war cavalry, and between the war cavalry and the war cavalry!
Each cavalry has a fixed cavalry, and they always live with their brothers' cavalry, feeding and resting, and the cavalry themselves have to manage it, just to cultivate the tacit understanding between the cavalry and the cavalry.
And the drill formation is to cultivate the tacit understanding between the war cavalry and the war cavalry.
There are war riding skills - the bonus of riding skills and formation, so that the cultivation of tacit understanding is very fast.
The war cavalry often only needs a shout, or a movement, and the war cavalry under the crotch knows what to do. And the commander of the army only needs one action and one look to achieve the effect of passing military orders!
And the unity of the whole is the highest state.
Of course, the current war cavalry, although it has been formed, has not yet reached the highest level. Rehearsing the formation is only to increase proficiency, and it still needs to go through more wars before it can fully achieve the effect of the unity of the legion.
Li Zheng nodded slightly as he walked, and finally found a slightly higher grassy slope and sat down, which was half a day.
In the evening, after the training of the war cavalry of all departments was completed, the commanders of the five major cavalry divisions came to Li Zheng and saluted with fists.
Li Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's done well, I'm very satisfied." However, we must continue to work hard to achieve the same effect for everyone as soon as possible. ”
After chatting with the five lieutenants for a while, and solving some of the problems they encountered in Pingsuli, Li Zheng pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Due to the particularity of the war cavalry, the general trend has not been achieved before, so I did not allow any war cavalry to take a vacation to recuperate. Now that the general trend has been achieved, and the war cavalry no longer needs to hide, I think most people are probably homesick, right? ”
The five lieutenants glanced at each other and nodded in unison, with a slight look of excitement in their eyes. They could probably guess what Li Zheng was going to say next.
"Hehe," Li Zheng stood up with a smile and said, "Tomorrow will be a three-day holiday, go back to see your parents, do your filial piety In addition, your respective war horses should also be brought back with you, and you should pay attention to cultivating tacit understanding at any time." But remember, after three days, be sure to come back on time and without delay! ”
"Thank you, lord!"
The five of them shouted in unison, and the excitement on their faces could not be concealed.
"Go, go, go." Li Zheng waved his hand and smiled
September and autumn are crisp. To the west from Fuping, the trees on both sides of the avenue leading to Wuwei have turned slightly yellow. A gust of autumn wind blew, and the gorgeous leaves swirled and fell to the ground like butterflies.
On both sides of the avenue, the land that was originally a desert is now gradually improving.
When you look closely, you can see some small saplings half a person high. The little sapling looked inconspicuous and inconspicuous, as if it had no leaves, but on the branches hung clusters of red fruits the size of pigeon's eggs.
This is the scorching fruit, the most suitable cash crop in the desert and water-scarce areas. Because of the integration of some desert plant characteristics, the leaves of the sunflower fruit are not flourishing, and the color is not conspicuous, similar to the branches. But the sparse leaves are very full, containing a lot of water and nutrients.
At the beginning, Li Zheng synthesized six new species such as Yanyang Fruit, and after a period of cultivation in the grassland, a large number of seeds were harvested, and they were promoted together with the previous decree.
Farmers with good vision immediately seized this opportunity and contracted deserts all over Liangzhou to grow this cash crop with perfect taste.
Two peasants, one old and one middle-aged, should be father and son, wearing straw hats and hoes, were squatting under a big tree on the side of the avenue.
"Dad, in three days at most, the Yanyang Fruit can be harvested." The middle-aged man looked at the large piece of Yanyang fruit in the desert, looked at the bunch of red fruits, smiled, and said: "The hundred acres of desert contracted by our family can harvest at least 100,000 catties of Yanyang fruit this time!" It is said that the price of Fuping's Yanyang fruit is as high as 50 yuan a catty, 100,000 catties, that is, 500,000 yuan" The man crossed his fingers, and the more he calculated, the happier he became.
The old man glanced at his son and said, "That's what it says, who knows how much it will be sold for?" What if the merchant doesn't accept it? As he spoke, his face showing some concern.
"Hey, what are you afraid of?" The middle-aged man didn't care: "Didn't the government say that if the merchant doesn't accept it, he can sell it to the government, and the price won't be much lower anyway." ”
"That's right" The wrinkles on the old man's face stretched out, and he smiled: "It's better for us to be in Liangzhou!" ”
"That's it!" The middle-aged man opened his mouth, laughed, and then said: "Dad, our family has a hundred acres of desert, just my grandfather and son, when will I finish picking it?" Why don't you go to the recruitment office in the township and recruit a few slaves to help, what do you think? ”
"Loser!" The old man gave the man a slap and shouted, "Recruit a few slave helpers? Everyone has to pay at least fifty yuan a day, and after picking this piece, I'm afraid that it won't take seven or eight days, how much will it cost? Don't do it, let's pick it ourselves! ”
"Daddy, you're not right." The middle-aged man retorted: "If we pick it ourselves, I'm afraid it won't take one or twenty days." When the picking is finished, maybe the merchants will have collected enough of the Yanyang Fruit, so what should they do?! ”
When the old man heard this, he couldn't help patting his forehead: "That hired someone?" ”
"Hire!"
As the two men were talking, there was a crisp sound of hooves on the avenue in the distance.
