Spring, sowing.

Yuan Zheng is still in the land south of the Yangtze River, but the cloud city far to the west must have already begun this matter.

In the mountains ruled by the Titan Python, there is a flat land, called Kunshan.

With a radius of five hundred miles and a flat river, Zhong Nan was not in a hurry to enter the Kunshan Mountains so quickly to practice soldiers and horses.

Although the terrain is good, there is no place to live, so we have to build a military camp, otherwise, it will be really difficult to start training soldiers.

Wang Wei walked into the courtyard of Yuanzheng, and urgently needed a letter of submission, so he brought more than 10,000 people to this place and began to build a military base and inspect the terrain.

I remember that before Wang Wei came here, Dr. Qin also smiled and said: "There are two Titan pythons there, you have to be careful, you don't have to be careful, anyway, you are not enough to stuff people's teeth." ”

It didn't really matter, but Wang Wei was really frightened by Dr. Qin.

Although nominally, in general, the two Titan Pythons belong to Yuan Zheng's subordinates, but everyone knows in their hearts that it is not the same thing.

In comparison, the value of two Heavenly Realm masters is always much more valuable than a general who is good at commanding troops.

Dealing with the demon clan, Wang Wei has never done this, this time, he really did it with courage, but he slowly got used to it, anyway, he is not enough to stuff his teeth, except for the fear at the beginning, now, Wang Wei is on the road.

Occasionally, the man in red and the man in black can be seen turning into human form, Wang Wei doesn't need it in his heart, but if he turns into a titan python with a majestic volume like a mountain range, Wang Wei's heart is not just as simple as trembling.

But now that they have come here, there is no choice for him.

Bite the bullet and do things like when you were younger.

In the villa, Yuan Zheng and Zhong Nan began to sum up the affairs in Kunshan.

It doesn't matter if you don't add it up, if you add it up, the trouble can be said to come in droves.

The tea of Da Hong Pao is really good to drink, Yuan Zheng is very infatuated, and Zhong Nan seems to be not exempt from vulgarity in this matter.

In the study, Zhong Nan said very calmly: "To build a barracks, you can actually use local materials in the mountains, there are wood, stones, and water flows, and there are two troublesome things at the moment." ”

"The first one is the matter of weapons. ”

"Now we are in Jiangnan, and we barely have an army of 70,000, although they are not elite soldiers, and most of them are half-witted, and they are not too pessimistic. ”

"But there are more than 70,000 people, there are more than 60,000 people, and there are no weapons in hand, swords are easy to start, but guns and halberds are much more difficult, plus the market at this time, if we don't have a solid foundation, it is a sword, it is difficult to start. ”

"The Zhuge family, although we can provide some weapons, but only a part, we have more than 70,000 people, and it is impossible to have so many weapons in the Zhuge family's arsenal, and the weapons we need are mainly spears, supplemented by halberds. ”

"As for the needs of individual generals, it is also difficult to start, some generals like to use axes, hooks and forks, some generals like to have drums, urns, golden hammers and the like, and some generals use weapons that are relatively unpopular. ”

"But those generals practice that kind of weapon, just like a person who uses a sword, if he has to hold a hammer to compare with others, his combat power will naturally be greatly reduced. ”

Before the world of the Great Controversy came, it was just a rumor, and the Great Wei Dynasty had extremely strict policies on weapons.

Ordinary people, except for kitchen knives used for cooking at home and farming tools, are not allowed to have other iron tools.

As for the sword, the government has clearly marked the price, but it is also for large families.

In the past, an inferior iron sword was only four taels of silver at most, but now, it needs ten taels of silver, this gap is a bit big, Dawei This is also a disguised accumulation of wealth, although it is not much, but it is also very likely to eliminate the possibility of ordinary people fishing in troubled waters.

The weapons in some gangs are the same as before.

Because a gang of rivers and lakes must have its own arsenal and blacksmith shop, and it can be self-sufficient in swords.

The two, the gangs in the rivers and lakes, most of them are swordsmen, and those who use swords are not suitable for fighting in front of the battle.

The rest are either daggers or knives, which belong to the category of weapons for close combat.

And the spear and halberd are heavy killing weapons, which are rarely used by people in the rivers and lakes, and those who use these weapons now will not easily show up with their weapons.

If it's in the cloud city, these are not problems, and the cloud city lacks nothing but the population.

Yuan Zhengdao: "The government is also nervous about this matter, I originally planned to bribe some officials and get some weapons, but after thinking about it, in the long run, we are not suitable to deal with people in the government at the moment." ”

"What if we build an armory in Dikunshan and build a dojo for weapons?"

Zhong Nan squinted his eyes and said: "Yes, money is not a problem now, but this is not Cangyun City, there is no iron ore in the Fengling Mountain Range, and besides, things like spears and halberds really need excellent blacksmiths." ”

"The heavy weapons created by ordinary blacksmiths are actually a fake handle, and they can fight with others on the battlefield, not to mention breaking, and their power is greatly reduced anyway. ”

"And most of this kind of blacksmiths are in the army, and I have also searched vigorously for such talents, and I have gathered only fifty people, and fifty people, even if there are five hundred people to fight, they will not be busy. ”

"And in the blacksmith industry, there are also sects. ”

"But any blacksmith with some skill will make a blade that is different from that of other blacksmiths. ”

"Between them, there is a rule that the exercises are not passed on, and we can't break such rules. ”

"The blades in the ordinary government are vulnerable, and the blades in the hands of elite soldiers are the real ones. ”

"The materials for striking iron, let those two Titan Pythons carefully search in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and they can still find it, but we have no way to pick this beam here. ”

Among blacksmiths, there are also sectarian disputes, male and female disputes, and superior disputes.

Any profession is actually a river and lake.

Yuan Zheng remembered Yama, but Yama stayed in the cloud city, and Yuan Zheng couldn't bring Yama to Jiangnan.

In the cloud city, Yama has taught many apprentices, but the level of those apprentices is estimated to be much higher than the level of ordinary blacksmiths, and compared with Yama, it is far from the same.

For the time being, Yama is still needed to preside over the overall situation in the top of the clouds.

Cloud City, no matter how you say it, is also a city, and you can't eat the old book for the time being.

The second trouble is the war horse.

The land south of the Yangtze River is not rich in war horses, and war horses are still good in the north.

Two, before the world of great controversy came, horses were originally military supplies, ordinary people could only look at others, and now the world of great controversy has come, whoever obtains a first-class war horse in the field can go to the local government and receive a thousand taels of gold.

Even if you buy a horse, with your family background at this time, even if you can afford it, you will go bankrupt, and secondly, even if you don't ask for leave on the spot, it's acceptable, but there is no place to buy it, and the policy on war horses can no longer be stricter.

At this time, Yuan Zheng understood that Yu Chiyang had a horse farm, what a magnificent scenery.

Yuan Zheng said: "There are wild horses, there are in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, but there are not many, at most five thousand horses can be made, but in terms of quality, they are also uneven." ”

"The Zhuge family, after all, is a literati family, and the Zhuge family really can't help with this kind of thing. ”

Zhong Nan said slowly: "In addition, there is also the distribution of troops, the old foundation of Xishu Shuangbi is naturally allocated, 30,000 Shu soldiers, 10,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry troops, no need to worry about anything." ”

"But among the people we joined later, some could be cavalry, and some were infantry, but in fact, everyone wanted to be a cavalry, not an infantry, and this matter could only be boiled in warm water and take their time. ”

"In addition to the distinction between cavalry and infantry, there is also the distinction between elite soldiers and ordinary military horses, and when the time comes, it will hurt the feelings of many people to really do these things, although it filters out the part of the people who fish in troubled waters. ”

"But internally, we are also worried about the emergence of internal ghosts. ”

"Some people can do things no matter how disgusting they are. ”

Yuan Zheng knows it in his heart, when the cavalry is more majestic, holding a spear in his hand, a war horse under his crotch, chasing the wind to the north, galloping on the battlefield and the earth, why not.

It's a bit of a loss to be an infantry army, no matter where you go, you can only rely on two legs.

Ordinary people couldn't believe that after running 200 miles overnight, they would have to fight a fierce battle when they arrived at the battlefield, and just thinking about it, they felt that it was impossible.

This is also the thing that many people in the Changgang admit their worries at the moment, and they don't want to be a foot soldier, but want to be a cavalry army.

The general trouble is like this, and to be more specific, a military army naturally has a firehead army, and now the firehead army in the Changgang has it, but it is not enough.

The two are military doctors, Dr. Qin is a good doctor, but the military doctors in the Changgang are also pitiful.

There is also a formation division, the formation division is the most important, whether it is offensive or defensive, it also needs the formation division to arrange troops, set up enchantments, and evolve the field to borrow the power of heaven and earth.

In the Chang Gang, there are only thirty or fifty formation divisions, and the few are pitiful, like a few.

In addition, there are also rations for horses, and the rations business of war horses can be interfered with by ordinary businessmen in previous years, but now it is also completely monopolized by the government, such as here in Jiangnan, there are many high-quality grazing places, all of which have become public.

If ordinary people want to graze, if they are not careful, it may be the sin of delaying the country's social welfare.

When you think about it, it's endless trouble.

It seems that there are 70,000 troops, but in fact, according to the real combat effectiveness, these 70,000 troops, not to mention meeting with the 10,000 Great Qin Iron Cavalry, or with the 10,000 well-established army of the Great Wei, it will also be a sure defeat.

Moreover, the general direction of Changgang today is to accumulate silver taels.

But once you take the road of accumulating silver taels, there is no way to make a good use of the soldiers, and once you have a strong army, what will you use to pay the military salary?

Not to mention the dilemma, there are many members who go out, and they have experienced the benefits and fun of the way of businessmen, and they slowly forget the fact that they were originally soldiers.

People's hearts are fickle, and no matter how powerful Yuan Zheng and Zhong Nan are, there is no way to stop these things.

If it is a secession party and collects taxes, of course Yuan Zheng is not worried about these things, but Yuan Zheng does not have the ability and ability to collect taxes, and this is the case at the moment.

Zhong Nan said: "Senior Guo is now in the territory of Great Xia, and the medicinal materials and timber business, as well as the grain business, are also good, enough for us to eat and drink, plus the golden mountain that Senior Qin just moved back to, it is also enough for us to do what we want to do within a year or two." ”

"But we don't know when we'll be able to make our mark in the world of contention. ”

"One, the top of the clouds was established too late, it was established in the time period close to the big dispute, the foundation is not deep, although the cloud city is good, but it is also a pool of stagnant water there for the time being, there is no way to use it, you can only keep it in obscurity. ”

"Here in Jiangnan, although our friendship with the Zhuge family has also reached that part, but then again, what we have to do, the Zhuge family has never done it at all, they can only help us in terms of connections, and occasionally use power to make it easier for us to go through the back door. ”

"In essence, we still have to rely on ourselves, in essence, the world of great controversy actually belongs to those old guys, because they have enough chips in their hands and a stable and mature military system, and we, although we are not starting from scratch, are also crawling, and I don't know, how long will we have to crawl and roll. ”

"You and I can endure loneliness and continue to simmer, but after simmering for a long time, the people around us will be impatient. ”

"In this world, there are very few people who can endure loneliness. ”

Yuan Zheng slightly rubbed the wrench on the thumb of his left hand, which was gentle and spiritual, which can make people's minds clear.

There are many things involved, and it is difficult for Yuan Zheng to be in a clear state of mind.

Whether it is from the perspective of human feelings or overall strategy, Zhong Nan alone can let Chang help this immature military team grow up slowly, but it is really slow, and halfway through, it is inevitable that he will encounter this or that unexpected situation.

Yuan Zheng knew that Zhong Nan was depressed in his heart, so he explained all the things in Jiangnan to Zhong Nan, and Zhong Nan could deal with anything by himself without reporting to Yuan Zheng.

"I'll try to bring you a bunch of people from the north. "Yuan Zhengdao.

Zhong Nan didn't ask, others thought that Yuan Zheng would go to his father, in fact, Zhong Nan knew very well that Yuan Zheng would not go to his father, not to fight for the breath of self-improvement, but to say that Yuan Tieshan, the king of martial arts, really couldn't spare his hand to help Yuan Zheng at this time.
