When the horse walks slowly, the hooves are separated and move in a 1-2-3-4 pattern. If a horse has been trained, the horse's diagonal feet land on the ground at the same time when the horse walks quickly, and move in a rhythm of 1-2-1-2 with the other diagonal feet.

Theoretically, if five hundred horses are walking slowly at the same time, it should be five hundred hooves beating the ground. The cavalry procession of the Dayuan soldiers walked in front of Kublai Khan, and it was really noisy. Fortunately, there are enough horses, and although the pace is noisy, you can still feel the vibration of thousands of horses from under your feet.

Hao Ren hadn't done anything with cavalry for ten years, but once he learned horseback riding, he couldn't forget it. Looking at the passing government soldiers and cavalry, he couldn't help but evaluate the level of these people in his heart. From the Mongols' point of view, there was a lot of room for improvement in the capabilities of these northern Han troops.

The cavalry phalanx passed by in a group, and Hao Ren was a little dazed. In addition to very similar levels, horses are on the verge of emitting horse manure. The horse manure in front is trampled by the horse's hooves behind, gradually forming a manure channel on the ground. At this time, Hao Ren couldn't help but think of the dung pockets of the big animals he saw in the Southern Song Dynasty, although they didn't cover all the groups, at least they could catch a large part of them.

Thinking of this, Hao Ren suddenly found that he himself began to become like a Song person again. He couldn't help but blame himself in his heart, 'I'm a Mongolian!' I'm a Mongolian! I'm a Mongolian! ’

Force yourself to return to normality. Hao Ren couldn't help but look at Ling, a southerner from the north, his son Hao Kang. Mongolians are generally short, and his son Hao Kang is less than ten years old, and his height is not inferior to the Mongolian nobles who are two or three years old. Mongolian horses are not large, with an average shoulder height of 120-135 cm and a weight of 500-700 catties. Hao Ren's Mongolian horses are relatively high, with a shoulder height of more than 135, which can be sold at such a good price. The horse for Hao Kang to ride is a pony, with a shoulder height of about 110. Hao Kang was already half a head taller than the pony's shoulders.

It can be seen that Hao Kang has seen such a big scene for the first time. It was this relatively simple queue march, and he was still very happy to watch and jump. Even such repetitive things can be watched so happily, Hao Ren feels that the children are really easy to coax in a few times.

By the time the Great Khan had inspected the ground covered with a thick layer of horse manure, the 10,000 cavalry had finished walking in front of the Great Khan. Hao Ren almost saw that he was asleep, and when he saw that he could finally get out of the situation, he finally came to his senses.

"It's stronger than the soldiers I brought when I went south to attack the Song Dynasty." Kublai Khan made an assessment.

Hearing this, Hao Ren didn't know what to say. Kublai Khan personally led his troops south to attack the Song Dynasty, which was an old thing twenty years ago. It was on that occasion that Kublai Khan encountered the most formidable enemy in his life, Zhao Jiaren of the Song Kingdom. At that time, Zhao Jiaren was only a young man less than twenty years old. At that time, Hao Ren was only a few years old, not old enough to go to the battlefield.

It's just that at this point, it won't work if you don't pick up the stubble. Hao Ren replied, "How long does the Great Khan think it will take for these people to be able to use them?" ”

The Mongols were all soldiers, and they were said to have received military training from the moment they could walk, especially in mounted archery. The military skills training of the Mongol warriors also included lasso, iron bones, cavalry spears, etc., and belonged to the all-round cavalry. But as a Mongolian, Hao Ren knew that this was bragging. Where do the herdsmen have so much time to devote to military training, the real advantage of the so-called Mongolian cavalry is that they are superb in horsemanship, and archery is used as a means of self-defense and food on weekdays. Whether it is military equipment such as iron armor, or military training such as formation, it will only be carried out after assembly.

In Hao Ren's opinion, the top priority of the current government soldiers is to improve the level of horseback riding.

"Hehe, isn't this supposed to be your business?" Kublai Khan laughed.

Hao Ren was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then felt his heart beat faster. If it was before, Hao Ren really hoped that he would be able to build a strong army of soldiers. But that's just before. In the process of hard work, Hao Ren profoundly saw the fierce struggle within the Great Yuan Imperial Court, and saw the covetousness of all parties for this still nurturing army of government soldiers.

If Hao Ren continues to work, he is afraid that he will offend more people, and he will have to endure more attacks and even assassination. Just thinking about this kind of future makes Hao Ren feel frustrated.

"Your Majesty, according to the government soldier system, what determines the quality of the government soldier is the teaching and learning on weekdays. Your Majesty can you send better generals to teach these soldiers how to ride? It is not Hao Renwan's responsibility to choose people. Boyan Dashuai interjected coldly.

Hao Ren's heart was immediately extremely grateful. Marshal Boyan can always point out the key to the problem. If Hao Ren is now stupidly full of promises, then he has intervened in the authority of Kublai Khan. Although Hao Ren was unsure of Kublai Khan's own level of understanding of the military system, according to Hao Ren's own vision, the core of the military system was the absolute control of the military by the imperial court.

Every link of the entire government military system can be taken out for inspection and review. But the person in charge of each link cannot take the government soldiers for himself. In this way, there can be an army loyal to the imperial court, loyal to the throne under the ass of Kublai Khan. With such a direct army, Kublai Khan could suppress the gang of guys who had their own troops.

Hao Ren's teacher was Hao Jing, and the establishment of such a system was originally Hao Jing's ideal. And Xunzi, whom Hao Ren now admires, also has the same political philosophy. Undoubtedly, Marshal Boyan also clearly understands the core of the government military system.

"Haha. Speaking of which, it's still my business. Kublai Khan laughed. After laughing, he said to Hao Ren: "If you do this, you are not the commander of the cavalry, and you will not be able to lead the army." ”

Hao Ren hurriedly walked down the slope built by Marshal Boyan, and he replied: "Great Khan, the government soldiers are the army of the imperial court. Naturally, the court sent a capable general to lead the battle, and I was born in the navy, so I couldn't lead the cavalry. ”

Kublai Khan did not continue to speak, he turned his head to look at the dung road in front of him, and saw a group of small Mongolian nobles on horseback passing by on the mottled ground. It can be seen that the little ones are very happy to be able to urge the horses to run through the road run by the group of adults.

"That's your son, right?" Kublai Khan pointed at Hao Kang and said.

When Hao Ren looked down, he saw his son riding on a horse wearing a small leather armor. Because of the use of steel cone perforations, the leather armor is very delicately made. In addition to the delicate leather armor, the son's dress is more Chinese. Coupled with that striking fair skin and tall and well-proportioned figure, it is really easy to attract the attention of others.

"Back to the Great Khan. That's my son. Hao Ren replied.

Kublai Khan replied: "Seeing that these people are still so fond of horseback riding, I feel that our Mongolia is still Mongolia." You do it well. ”

Before Hao Ren could figure out what Kublai Khan meant, the Khan got up and left. Those guards hurriedly opened the way and guarded, and Hao Ren couldn't keep up for a while.

In the winter assembly plan of the government soldiers, this group of government soldiers first went like this to let Kublai Khan see the level. After that, it's military training, to raise their level. Wait until the end of the military training, and then have a big review, so that Kublai Khan can see the results of the training, as well as the level of the entire army.

Basically, the second year's military operation is based on the last review in winter, and there is no need to have special expectations for the combat effectiveness of these government soldiers. For them, a sudden increase in combat skills is just an imagination. And these are the management powers of the good people and ten thousand households, although the two families have not yet reached a special point, but the four khanates have been divided into different camps. There was also a civil war between the people who were also descendants of Torre. Kublai Khan's victory was based on the defeat of his brother Ali Buge.

With the experience of the past, Hao Ren Wanhu did not want to cross the boundary at all.

So although Wanhu didn't want to be too busy, he still had the opportunity to take his son back to the villa in Xiaotangshan to continue his winter hot spring trip. However, Hao Ren Wanhu did not prepare for such a good winter this time. Now that he had decided not to be lazy, he ran to inspect his ten thousand.

Walking on the way to the destination, Wanhu also had a somewhat complicated mood. He used to use the 10,000 households he allocated as a simple source of taxes. These 10,000 Han households pay various taxes every year, and Hao Ren's 10,000 households use these taxes to arrange his life.

The target of the government military system was the small landlords who had yeoman farmers, and the Great Yuan's government could not do anything to the direct household registration of the wealthy upper class. If they dared to do so, the nobles would probably go to the government with their private troops to find trouble. Although the poor Mongolians who are first-class people can't touch the Han officials of the third-class people at all, the Mongolian nobles who are first-class people dare to do anything to the Han officials. Even if the Han officials were beaten, they could only be beaten. At most, he went to Kublai Khan to complain.

As for whether the complaint is useful or not, it depends on the mood of Kublai Khan. Even Kublai Khan was willing to support Han officials at this time, so what could he do? As the Great Khan of the Mongols, it was impossible for Kublai Khan to make the Han Chinese equal to the Mongols.

Hao Ren Wanhu knew that among the leaders of the other Mongol nobles were a large number of armed forces. That is, the Mongol cavalry. As for Hao Ren Wanhu, he has never had time to manage and build his people, so these people only bear the obligation to pay taxes, and their military strength is not strong. After meeting the government soldiers, Hao Ren Wanhu felt that he needed to strengthen the military strength of his people. 10,000 households, if they can provide an army of 1,000 people, Hao Ren Wanhu can really be regarded as having the ability to compete with other Mongolian nobles.

When he arrived at his territory, the first thing Hao Renwanhu did was to assemble the armed forces. Soon, a group of peasants gathered in front of 10,000 households. From every point of view, the gang were farmers. They just looked at their lord with curiosity, and they didn't have the slightest feeling of serious killing.

After reading these people, Hao Ren suddenly felt that he understood why Kublai Khan's Great Khan would say 'stronger than the soldiers I brought when I went south to attack the Song Dynasty'. When he went south, Kublai Khan was just a simple envelope of some Han military princes. Most of the soldiers under the Han army were also such peasants.
