Chapter 141: Unprecedented
The appearance of a thousand hussars in the tent really startled the traders and people of Wild Fox City at first. Compared with the three garrisons of Wild Fox City, this thousand hussars are too elite and fierce, all high-headed horses, black bright light armor, black cloaks, and copper helmets and black tassels. What is particularly amazing is their mount war horse, which belongs to different teams according to the color of the horse's coat. The white war horses are tied for a team, the black ones are on a team, the jujube red is a team, the yellow horses are on a team, and the cyan horses are on a team. Such a point made the entire cavalry more and more amazing.
"It's the Lord of Yi Meng who has arrived!" While many people were still panicking, there were already good eyes recognizing the banner in the cavalry.
Lingyun's hussars in the tent have a characteristic, that is, there are many flags. Lingyun's 1,000 hussars were divided into 5 regiments, 10 brigades, 20 teams, and 100 units. The coat color of the war horses of the five regiments is all pure one color, and it can be clearly distinguished from the color of the war horses which regiment it belongs to at a glance. In addition, Lingyun's hussars also have many flags, and the flags are used to distinguish the teams, just like the color of the war horses of each regiment, and the flags of each regiment are the colors of their war horses, white, black, red, yellow, and blue, representing the five regiments. In addition, the brigade under the regiment has a brigade flag, and the team has a regimental flag. In addition, officers at all levels have their own flags. Lingyun also gave officers at all levels of battalion, regiment, brigade, team, and gang a special flag to carry it. The battalion commander planted a red, white, blue, yellow, and black five-color flag in the north, the regiment leader planted a red, white, blue, and black four-color flag on his back, the brigade commander planted a red, white, and blue three-color flag, and the team leader planted a red, white, and blue two-color flag, and the gang commander carried the red flag. This setting of the back flag is also to improve the command of the cavalry in battle, and the cavalry is very fierce when fighting. Sometimes it was difficult to hear and see the banner orders and even the golden drums in the back, especially for those cavalrymen who did not have much combat experience. Ling Yun asked the officers to carry the flag on their backs, which was to let the subordinates of their respective officers recognize the officers when they fought. Follow him in action.
As long as you keep an eye on the officer's flag, even if the battalion's flag scatters and falls, as long as the officer is not dead, you can continue to fight with the officer's back flag. The different colors of the officers' flags are used to clearly distinguish the ranks of the officers, and when fighting, they can distinguish the subordinates as quickly as possible.
Team flags distinguish teams. Carrying the flag distinguishes the identity of the main general's level, even if the cavalry battle is very chaotic, as long as you recognize these two flags. can maintain a minimum of order. Although it was also suggested that the officers' carrying of the flag might attract the enemy's blockade, Ling Yun did not think this was a problem. In the era of cold weapons, the officers above the team were originally in charge of the Chinese army. The team leaders were already asking to be at the front. It is basically impossible to stop and kill the middle and high-ranking officers of the Chinese army when the two armies are fighting. And those low-level officers, the number is huge, there is a gang leader among ten people, and a team leader of fifty people, what is the point of blocking and killing.
Ling Yun, as the commander of the Huaihuang Army, has the highest rank, and he rides on a horse. Behind a two-foot high handsome flag, at the same time. There is also a flag of a general with his official position, and a flag of recognition with his surname embroidered. Under the three big flags, Ling Yun also had a back flag on his back.
He had three back flags on his back, and all of them were seven-color flags. This unique outfit was so conspicuous that Wild Fox City quickly recognized this cavalry as the Lord of the Yi Alliance.
Although there are three back flags, it is a bit like singing Peking Opera in later generations, but the effect is still very significant, at least among the thousands of horses, everyone saw where Ling Yun was at once. If this is on top of the battle formation, Ling Yun will stop under the Shuai banner, and everyone will be able to find out his location immediately. He is the courage of the whole army, and if he does not move, he can give courage to those soldiers who are not very experienced. As for whether he will be released with cold arrows, Ling Yun is not too worried, at this time, there is no sniper gun, no matter how good the archery master is, he has not been able to penetrate it a hundred steps away, and the return is higher than the risk.
Sun Gang, the chief garrison of Wild Fox City, the city lord, the hall master, and others led the people in charge of the city to rush to welcome the city.
Riding a horse through the streets of the city that had not yet been paved with stone slabs, Ling Yun was very satisfied with the scale of the city. The overall planning of Wild Fox City was formulated by the general rudder, and Wild Fox City was just constructed according to the plan.
Changsun Gang is also one of Lingyun's eighteen Yanyun horsemen, and is now ordered by Lingyun to serve as the garrison of Wild Fox City. He commanded three garrisons and one garrison of Wild Fox City, with a total of 2,000 men. There are far more garrisons and horses than other cities, so in Wild Fox City, Changsun Gang is also the first real power. Especially after the city lord and hall master were also sent by Ling Yun, Wild Fox City was completely under Ling Yun's hands.
The eldest grandson was just half a horse's head behind Ling Yun, and he introduced the progress of Wild Fox City to Ling Yun on the horse.
"At present, the defense facilities of the East and West Wild Fox Fort have basically been completed, and the defenders of the military fort have also been stationed. The walls and ditches of Wild Fox City are one-third complete, and they are still being built. In addition, we have already preemptively built a square area of four miles, and plan to solve the housing problem first. The next step is to focus on building defensive facilities such as city walls and ditches, then building streets and alleys, shops, and finally other alleys. ”
Ling Yun listened and watched along the road, Wild Fox City has an overall scale that has been prepared in advance, and when it is built, it is like building blocks, just follow the drawings. Therefore, it doesn't matter which side is repaired early or which side is repaired late, but the city wall ditch still has to be repaired first. Lingyun's overall plan for the defense of the cities of Huaihuang Military Town was still based on active defense, and although each city set up a garrison of several hundred people, it did not expect them to fight. At most, it is to guard the city gate, and if there is really an enemy invasion, you still have to count on the scouts to find it in advance, and then the soldiers and horses in the tent of the general helm will defend in time. However, it is precisely because the garrison has little combat effectiveness that the city wall ditch is more and more important. After all, even if Ling Yun could support quickly, the cities would have to be able to guard the time when reinforcements came.
"Is this a public toilet?" Ling Yun asked, pointing to the white house on the side of the road.
Changsun Gang replied: "This is a public toilet built in accordance with the requirements of the general rudder scale drawing, and a public toilet is set up every 100 steps on the two main roads. On the other four squares, there is a public toilet on each street. Each toilet is painted white as required and has a prominent public toilet sign. Speaking of this public toilet, Changsun Gang was still a little puzzled in his heart, what are you doing to build so many thatched houses? There is one hundred steps on the main road, and the other four squares. According to the requirements, a total of eight more will be built on the roadside, and in total, there will be 20 public toilets on the roadside in the city. And that's not even counting the many public toilets that are clearly marked on the drawings for the various lanes. In total, I am afraid that there are no less than 100 public toilets. It is necessary to build so much, and it is still a hard and fast rule, it must be built according to the number and location planned on the drawings, and it is not possible to do any worse.
In addition to these public toilets, what made Gongsun Gang a little puzzled was the public bathhouse. There are also a lot of public bathhouses, and there are them in every room. The public toilets are all white houses, and the bathhouses are all green houses.
In fact, Changsun Gang was not the only one who was puzzled by this, when this planning map came out. The rudder has many people who are puzzled. Scale drawings, how can there be even thatched bathhouses and bathhouses, and they are so fine. But in the end, Ling Yun insisted that the public toilets and bathhouses were all added to the planning drawings by him.
Public health is very important. Especially in the land of the north. Water is scarce, and there are many cattle and horses. In the past, the population of each mountain village was not much and better, but now they gather together to live together, with tens of thousands of people in each city, and even more than 20,000 in Wild Fox City. And in the future, it will become a transit point for commerce, and there will definitely be a larger population. As the population grows, the disease becomes more contagious. And on the other hand, to build a commercial town. It is also important to have a clean and tidy hygiene.
Especially the towns that Lingyun has established today. Instead of concentrating the market in one area like other cities, Lingyun completely built all the shops on both sides of the street according to the habits of later generations, which required higher hygiene. You can't always open shops on both sides of the street to do business, eat and drink, and there is cow dung and horse urine everywhere on the road in front of the store, especially if there are no public toilets, it is very possible for those people to urinate directly on the street.
And bathing is also very important, the weather in the north is cold, and the water is scarce and arid, many people do not have the habit of bathing often, or it is difficult to bathe. If the body is unhygienic, of course, it is easy to get diseases, lice, fleas, rats, mosquitoes, flies, these are carriers of infectious diseases. Therefore, while building public toilets, Lingyun also planned many bathhouses.
"You're doing a good job, after the public toilets are built, you have to send someone to manage and clean them. After the establishment of public toilets, it is necessary to prohibit open defecation and defecation, and if it is discovered, it must be severely punished to form a good habit. The streets should also be cleaned frequently, and some older people in their fifties can be arranged to pay them a monthly salary, which can be regarded as giving them a chance to support themselves. There are also good management of cows, horses, mules and donkeys, and livestock are forbidden to on the streets of urban areas. ”
Gongsun was stunned when he heard this, this person can manage it if he doesn't let the street defecate in the open. But what does this livestock do if it wants to and pee?
Ling Yun saw Gongsun Gang's expression, "Actually, this matter is not difficult, first make a clear announcement that livestock is prohibited from excreting in the city, and violators will be fined." Then, at each gate of the city, those who brought cattle into the city were given dung pockets and tied behind the buttocks of the animals, so that they could carry the dung in their pockets and would not be discharged anywhere. Of course, we can charge some cost for the dung pocket, and it is estimated that next time these people will bring their own dung pockets into the city. You have to remember that sanitation is very important in a thriving commercial town, and when sanitation is done well, not only will the town be beautiful and clean, but it will also reduce the spread of disease. ”
"In addition, sewers and ditches should be built, so that sewage can be discharged out of the city smoothly, and remember to dig more wells." Lingyun told that the well is very important, not only can it make the people's life convenient in normal times, but also if it is a siege, having enough wells is also necessary to defend the city.
As he spoke, he also arrived at the administrative office area, where the offices of the garrison mansion, the city lord's mansion, the rudder and other offices were located. Ling Yun did not go to the garrison mansion, but directly pointed to the city lord's mansion and led everyone to enter together.
"I'm very satisfied with the progress of the city construction of Wild Fox City, now, let me ask you a question, do you have any plans for the future development of Wild Fox City?"
Salt Lake City has set the development direction, relying on salt to eat salt, and developing the salt industry with salt as the core. The population of Wild Fox City is twice that of Salt Lake, and it is in such an important position, after the city is built, it must also have its own development direction. In this regard, Ling Yun had to listen to the opinions of Wild Fox City's own leadership team first. With a population of 20,000 in Wild Fox City, it is impossible for Ling Yun to continue to raise them, they must find a way out and find the direction of development by themselves.
