Chapter 81: It's not Maozi, it's a stick
It's a pity that many things are paid tribute by the subject countries, and the quantity is limited, can they buy them?
Chen Mu saw everyone's reaction and immediately said:
"The state-run unit has curry made in Daxia, which is also good. If you want to buy Curry for Persian tribute, you can make a reservation, and when Persia pays tribute tomorrow, you can go to the state unit to buy it. ”
Pre-sale, this is another new thing, everyone has never heard of it, Chen Mu explained it in detail, and immediately many people expressed their willingness to place an order.
Chen Mu asked people to write them down one by one, and asked them to go back and send someone to send the deposit to the corresponding state-owned unit, and then they could go through the formalities.
After this banquet, the luxury culture immediately became popular all over the capital, and with the flow of people, it will expand more and more.
This hand added a lot of revenue to the treasury of Great Xia.
Chen Xingtian even had to wake up laughing several times when he was dreaming.
In this way, those big families who withdrew from the Central Plains felt very regretful, and their withdrawal did not cause any trouble to Chen Mu, but also gave up the market.
Now that they're in a new area, it's all over again.
The Yin Tang Organization took advantage of this opportunity to lobby several big families to join the Yin Tang Organization.
After the New Year, Chen Mu began to prepare for the imperial examination on February 2, and opened a Guozijian to recruit talented young people from the people to study.
However, as soon as Chen Mu got up, there was another urgent report from the border.
There is an alien invasion in the Northeast.
Now the city has been built in the northeast, and the government and the people have settled down, but because they missed the spring ploughing season, they are still relying on the grain allocated by the imperial court to survive.
The 5,000 cavalry left by Chen Mu were mainly patrolling around the city, and the scope of the reclaimed land on the periphery was too large for the 5,000 cavalry to take care of.
At first, there were small groups of foreign soldiers to harass them, but now they have turned into a large number of abductions of Bactria people and Donghu slaves.
Chen Mu guessed that the other party might be to plunder the strong labor, because those who were sent to reclaim the Great Northern Wilderness were not old, young, sick or disabled, they were all young and middle-aged. And those Donghu slaves were also good at hard work.
Chen Mu asked, "From which direction did those people come from?" ”
The herald replied, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, he is from the southeast. ”
"Southeast?"
Chen Mu understood as soon as he heard it, it was not Lao Maozi, but a stick.
The sticks of this era should not have much strength, if they are just fighting, just send ordinary generals.
But only Chen Mu knows how to make use of the specialties there.
Although the production capacity of the sticks is certainly poor, what if there are any natural resources?
Chen Mu didn't want to let it go.
As for the matter of Guozijian, leave it to those literati, Chen Mu has already set the general direction, and I believe they will do the same.
"Father, sons, please ask for your life, crusade against the country of sticks."
Chen Xingtian, "Hmm, Stick Country? ”
Chen Mu nodded, "The report says that the weapon used by the alien race is a stick, so let's call it the Stick Country." ”
Chen Xingtian: "Okay, I believe that with your ability, you will soon be able to clean up this stick country." ”
……
This matter was settled, and Chen Mu began to recruit soldiers.
Chen Mu also has a huge advantage, that is, he knows the general topography of the stick country, and he can bring the most suitable troops.
In his impression, the Stick Country side is a peninsula, so it is impossible to have too many vast places, and the cavalry will not be useful.
Moreover, in this era, it is impossible to build too many cities in the Bangzi Kingdom, and it is estimated that it is similar to the original Donghu.
So you don't need to bring too many soldiers to occupy the city.
Chen Mu finally decided to bring only 5,000 invincible flying troops and 3,000 invincible flying troops. This minimizes the consumption of grain and grass.
The soldiers are not expensive, and this number should be enough to deal with the stick country.
A month later, Chen Mu led his troops to the northeast.
The city was attacked by the Bangzi Kingdom in the south, and after Chen Mu entered the city, he asked about the current situation of the county order.
The county commander replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, those soldiers of the Stick Country are very strange, they do not ride horses, but set up carriages. There were no iron weapons, only clubs, but their sticks were so hard that our long knives kept cutting them. ”
"The lower officials guessed that they set up the carriage to facilitate the plundering of the population."
Chen Mu nodded.
What the county order said makes sense, but there is another possibility, that is, there is a shortage of horses in the stick country.
According to Chen Mu's knowledge, there should be no horses on the peninsula, and the horses of the Stick Country may have been traded with Donghu in the past.
Now that this place is occupied by Great Xia, the Stick Country may feel that the Great Xia Kingdom is easy to bully, so they come over to plunder.
The language of the two sides is not comprehensible, and the soldiers of the Great Xia Kingdom cannot warn the people of the Stick Country, saying that the Northeast region is only a corner of Great Xia, and the strength of Great Xia is very strong, so don't come to provoke.
In that case, let's talk with a sword.
After Chen Mu inquired about the situation of the enemy army, he ordered the cavalry to expand the patrol area and focus on searching for large groups of enemy troops.
And the Invincible Flying Army and the Wudang Flying Army are stationed outside the city, ready to attack at any time.
A few days later, a scout found out the carts and horses of the Stick Country. Chen Mu immediately led the army to attack.
Although both the Invincible Flying Army and the Invincible Flying Army are infantry, they are trained to run long distances all year round, and their speed is much faster than that of ordinary infantry.
Led by the scouts, they quickly arrived at the scene of the incident.
At this time, the army of the Bangzi Kingdom was chasing the people of Great Xia, and Chen Mu did not hesitate and directly ordered the whole army to assault.
When the army of the Bangzi Kingdom saw that Great Xia was coming, they also gave up chasing the people, turned the car and went straight to Chen Mujun.
Chen Mu looked at the carriage opposite, and couldn't say whether this was forward or backward, if it was backward, this was the main force in the Spring and Autumn Period in the previous life.
You have to say that it is facing forward, it has no advantage over the cavalry of Upper Britain.
However, now that Chen Mu is leading the infantry, there are still some disadvantages in the face of the chariot, that is, it is necessary to maintain a dense formation and cannot divide the troops.
Fortunately, the people of the Stick Country were stupid and rushed towards Chen Mujun by themselves.
Chen Mu ordered the Invincible Flying Army and the Wudang Flying Army to stop in place, set up a defensive formation, and insert their shields into the land.
The chariot of the stick country was very fast, and Chen Mujun's formation had just been set up and came to the front. The chariot's speed did not decrease at all, and it rushed directly into Chen Mujun's formation.
One by one, the chariots knocked over the soldiers of Great Xia, and then stopped, and at this time, the advantage of the chariots over the cavalry was revealed.
Once the cavalry fell into the infantry formation, it was difficult to protect their legs and horses' legs.
But in the chariot of the stick country, one person sits on the cart and controls the horse, and the other two people fight with sticks.
The height of the carriage protects their legs, and they just have to stand up and wave a stick.
