Section 145 Xiaoyaojin
"Oh, I want to hear about it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info" Jiang Feng's expression remained unchanged, although it was his own mind to build a cavalry army belonging to Huaiyou, but he was not a master who couldn't listen to people's words, Luo Ye and Zhao Wenshan were both fierce generals of Heshuo, so there must be a reason for saying this.
"Your Majesty, the cavalry is different from the infantry army, one of the biggest problems lies in the way it travels, the infantry army walks on two legs, this person is born to walk on two legs, so this does not need training, it will naturally be, but the cavalry is different, the problem to be solved by the cavalry is first of all the problem of riding a war horse, for an ordinary traveler, to learn to ride a horse and even a smooth trip, maybe a year and a half is enough, but as a cavalry, this is far from enough, three or five years can make the riding superb is already very rare or have a certain riding talent, ordinary people to really achieve riding proficiency, and can get off the reins of the hands and gallop without being affected, at least six to eight yearsThat is to say, it takes six to eight years of training to be fully competent in basic tactical movements such as chopping, chopping, slashing, stabbing, wiping, and picking on a war horse,......"
Luo Ye explained in detail, worthy of everyone's background, and the content of the story is also easy to understand and detailed.
"In the case of a certain family, there is a horse farm, since the age of nine, the official horseback riding, at the age of fourteen began to practice weapons on the horse, at the age of sixteen can barely become a qualified cavalryman, until the age of twenty can be called really proficient in equestrian and martial arts, but to become a qualified horseman, it is only after the age of twenty-five that you dare to say ,......"
"Like the north of Huaishui, there are not many good horses, and there are not many people who are proficient in equestrianism, and for ordinary soldiers, to let them change from infantry to cavalry, their age has passed the most suitable time to practice horsemanship, except for those who have a good foundation in martial arts, it is difficult for others to achieve a satisfactory level of riding even if it takes three or five years,......"
"And like the north, especially the area north of the river, it produces horses, and most people start riding horses when they are young, most people are forced to make a living, grazing for people or acting as caravan runners, it is inseparable from horses for a moment, and outside the Saiwai, whether it is the Hu people or the Han people, it is even more years of living on horses, so why the Hu people have the most obvious advantage in cavalry, is because they have been on horseback since birth,......"
"These people are more than ten or twenty years of horseback riding experience compared to our Huaiyou cavalry, and with this, our current Huaiyou cavalry is difficult to catch up, so the subordinates think that if we want to reverse this unfavorable situation, we should make use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and the soldiers can consider recruiting from Heshuo, Pinglu, Youyan and even Saiwai, and the horses can be from the northwest or Youyan, with the courage of the king, the subordinates think that it is okay to recruit three or five thousand or even more cavalry soldiers, especially in the current situation,......
Luo Ye's words were quite pleasant, whether it was Jiang Feng or others, they were very comfortable to hear, but Jiang Feng did not make a clear statement about Luo Ye's final proposal that he should find a way to enrich the Huaiyou cavalry army by directly poaching people from Heshuo and Pinglu.
After giving the suggestion, Luo Ye didn't say more, he also knew that these words were a bit taboo, it was difficult to achieve the best level of the local cavalry in Huaiyou, and it was necessary to train the soldiers from Heshuo or Pinglu, whether this point of view could be accepted by the people, it was not just a matter of feelings, but also involved others, Luo Ye also vaguely knew, but he felt that he had a clear conscience.
The discussion broke up, but Jiang Feng fell into contemplation alone.
The problem of the Huaiyou cavalry needs to be faced and solved, even Qin Zaidao realized that the cavalry's source and training need to change course, for those with a certain level of martial arts, this is not a problem, all problems can be overcome, but ordinary soldiers are different, and the cavalry is more thinking about ordinary soldiers to enrich themselves.
Luo Ye took a certain risk to speak, and it is estimated that he may have some regrets after speaking, worrying about whether he will have other opinions, but Jiang Feng doesn't care too much about this.
For now, the best source of troops is indeed from Heshuo, and the situation in Pinglu is quite stable, and if you want to recruit troops in Pinglu, it is far less convenient and fast than under the jurisdiction of Heshuo and Taining Army, and even the cost is smaller.
Most of the cavalry soldiers in these places have been exposed to horses since childhood, compared to Huaiyou, many cavalry are adults before learning to ride horses, which undoubtedly has many more years of experience, this, especially at an early age, will ride, is an adult learning to ride and shoot is completely incomparable.
From this point of view, Qin Zaidao is still very open-minded and courageous, and even dared to propose to give up most of the existing Huaiyou cavalry, and instead establish the Huaiyou cavalry based on the Heshuo cavalry.
Of course, Qin Zaidao also realized the sensitivity of a cavalry force if it was completely composed of Heshuo cavalry, which was not conducive to Jiang Feng's control, and at the same time, Luo Ye and Zhao Wenshan had too much influence on Heshuo cavalry, and they also needed to be considered, so he also proposed very tactfully that he could disrupt the mixed formation and retain part of the Lao Huai right cavalry.
Jiang Feng was not as sensitive as Qin Zaidao, and he also felt that this kind of sensitivity, even the generals under his command were more sensitive than himself.
In fact, like the armies under his command, except for the first army, which is a combination of the old foundation of the Gushi Army and the officers of the Liang system, which can barely be regarded as his own lineage, even Yang Kan is also a Liang general.
The other armies, although the second and third armies were led by Xu Ziqing and Zhang Yue, most of the soldiers came from the Huaibei refugees, the fourth and fifth armies were similar, the navy army was all from Shouzhou, and the current 6789th Army was all built by the Heshuo army.
He knows very well that he started from scratch, with no family background or other more resources to assist, if he wants to grow rapidly in this troubled world, he can only use his strength for his own use, the biggest drawback of this approach is that he needs to be inclusive, he wants to let these forces for his own use, and gradually integrate into his own lineage, without him, is to use interests to tie them to himself.
And where do the benefits come from? The only way to do this is to seize territory by war and deprive those who do not use it for their own purposes in order to satisfy the needs of their own interest groups.
Until now, he has done a good job, which has a lot to do with the fact that the forces around Huaiyou are not very strong, or have been greatly weakened, from this point of view, Jiang Feng even needs to thank the ant thief.
Turning around, or returning to the origin of the cavalry, Jiang Feng felt that he should still accept the suggestion of Qin Zaidao and Luo and Zhao to reorganize the Huaiyou cavalry, which can be formed by relying on the Heshuo cavalry at present, but the next recruitment is not limited to Heshuo, and the Taining army can also be the focus.
The reason why we set our sights on the Taining Army is that since the second half of last year, the Taining Army has been faced with an extremely difficult situation.
Continuous flood and drought disasters, Yunzhou, This area of Yanzhou was originally a place to eat by the sky, and the Taining Army has always been not good at running the place, the Taining Military Territory has always been Yin to eat grain, plus the previous year's war with the Liang, almost completely dragged down the Taining Army's finances, although the tax was raised several times, but the land of Yanyun Benai is not rich, so a large-scale riot broke out suddenly, a large number of peasants fled around, the Taining Army even had difficulty in eating, and had to borrow from the Pinglu Army and Huaibei, but the Pinglu Army itself was not happy, a drop in the bucket, Huaibei was even more self-care, so the current Taining Army is almost in the most difficult period in history。
Even the news from Daliang said that the Daliang Political Hall and the Chongzheng Yuan were discussing whether to take over Yanyun after the Taining Army collapsed on their own, and the opposition to accepting Yanyun's opinion actually had an overwhelming upper hand, which shows the difficulty of Yanyun Prefectures.
In this case, if there is a suitable opportunity to dig into the wall, it is not impossible.
Of course, Jiang Feng felt that this could also be linked to his Xuzhou strategy, which would be a systematic grand strategy.
"This is Xiaoyaojin?" Jiang Feng put his hands behind his back and looked at the ancient ferry port in front of him.
Fertile water flows quietly to the east, around the city of Hefei, this area is flat, the river is numerous, the reeds are dense, the branches and leaves are swaying in the spring, swaying posture, very poetic and picturesque atmosphere.
"Well, back then, Zhang Liao fought against Sun Wu here, and almost beheaded Sun Quan here. Yang Kan nodded.
"Dongfeng is not with Zhou Lang, and Tongque Chun is deeply locked with Erqiao. Jiang Feng casually recited a poem by Du Mu, and said with some emotion: "The north and the south have always occupied a condescending advantage, and our Huaiyou's geographical location is under the armpit of the Jianghuai Central Plains, which is not bad, but if you want to make a difference, you need to break through the current shackles." ”
"Is the gentleman thinking about crossing Huai?" Yang Kan knows Jiang Feng's mind best, and he is also Jiang Feng's staunchest supporter.
"Or Qilang knows me, now the general trend of Wu Land has been decided, I think the battle between Li Yu and the ant thief will be protracted, and the battle for Chuzhou may be beyond imagination, Qin Quan is not as simple as he imagined, maybe he will not be willing to be a first-class Kou anymore." Jiang Feng said calmly: "We are sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight in Wudi, but we must have our own way to go." ”
The surrounding guards were all vigilantly looking around, and Jiang Feng also discussed some things with Yang Kan this time.
Among the generals, the most important ones are Yang Kan and Wang Miao, and although Zhang Ting's vision is not good, he is happy to surprise the soldiers, in terms of strategy, Jiang Feng still advocates the combination of Qi and Zheng, and focuses on Zheng.
Now that Wang Miao is sitting in Yingshang and Zhang Ting is staying in Haozhou, only Yang Kan is the most compatible with him among the generals, so Jiang Feng wants to hear Yang Kan's opinion.
