Chapter 142: Horseshoe
"Financial resources, if you want to expand the Zhendong Army, strong financial backing is inevitable, as far as I know, the current entry in the hands of the Zhendong Army, there is only one Hanmenguan salt, the scale of the phosphate fertilizer plant in the ancient city is too small, basically negligible, so, financial resources are also a big problem.
As for the material resources, presumably the general also knows that once the war starts, the most important grain and grass, military supplies are the biggest problem, Qiongzhou, Yongzhou recovered not long ago, this is the stage of recuperation, and Weizhou can only barely supply the Zhendong Army to the needs now, once the war starts, I can't think of where our Zhendong Army can support such a huge supply. ”
Zhao Ziyi's eyes were calm, and Mu Qingli's analysis was no different from what they had discussed before.
Suddenly, Mu Qingli's words changed: "General, have you ever thought about why there is such a huge disparity in combat effectiveness between us Han and Hu people?" In addition to the difference in size, there is not much difference in others. ”
Zhao Ziyi heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "The Hu people are brave and good at fighting, bloody and fanatical, just on the right, the momentum of our Han people is three points weaker. ”
Mu Qingli shook his head, "Yes and no, in fact, General, you have ignored the most obvious point, the Hu people are powerful, it is their cavalry, if they fight alone, there is no obvious difference." ”
Zhao Ziyi's eyes lit up, and his mind was clear!
"The Hu people are a nation on horseback, and the cavalry is naturally powerful, while we Han people are good at arranging formations to encircle and suppress, and we have not cultivated much in the cavalry. Didn't the general find out during the battle? The iron cavalry of the Hu people can always easily break through our formation, and once the formation is broken, it is we who are surrounded and suppressed.
Therefore, I think it is necessary for the Zhendong Army to develop cavalry. ”
After saying so much in one breath, Mu Qingli, who was a little thirsty, picked up the teacup on the table and opened the lid and poured it violently, a strange smell instantly filled his mouth, Mu Qingli's face changed, and he almost couldn't control it and squirted it out directly.
I finally swallowed it with difficulty, and my tongue was numb, what kind of tea is this? Salty, bitter, and coriander?
Zhao Ziyi saw Mu Qingli's face on his face, picked up the teacup suspiciously, and took a sip, "This is a tea brewed by Clumsy Jing, it tastes very good, but what's wrong?" ”
Mu Qingli lifted the lid of the tea, and then saw a layer of ginger, green onions, coriander, flower petals, etc. floating in the cup, and it was estimated that salt was also put in it, and the whole hodgepodge was a hodgepodge!
Mu Qingli silently put back the tea lid, pushed the teacup farther away, and said seriously: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm a big man and I'm not used to drinking tea." ”
Looking at the red lips and white teeth in front of him, the fair-skinned and delicate young man said that he was a big boss, and Zhao Ziyi was silent.
Xu thought of something, Zhao Ziyi frowned slightly, and said: "It is not easy to develop cavalry, the horse's hooves are too easy to be damaged, once the horse's hooves are damaged, the horse will be invalid, and the reason why the Hu people have so many cavalry is because of the large number of horses on their grassland, which can afford the loss." ”
Mu Qingli wondered: "How can the horse's hooves be easily damaged? Isn't there a horseshoe? ”
Zhao Ziyi was stunned, "What is a horseshoe?" ”
Mu Qingli was even more stunned, and then held her forehead, after so long, why didn't she find out that the horsehoe hadn't been invented yet?
"A horseshoe is a piece of iron nailed to a horse's hooves to protect the horse's hooves and minimize hoof damage, so you can use it for several years in a row."
Zhao Ziyi curled the corners of his mouth, in front of Mu Qingli, his cold and arrogant side became less and less, "Mu Qing, I am very happy, what tricky things, when it comes to your hands, can always be easily resolved." ”
