Chapter 139: Armament

If your throat is pinched in someone else's hand, it will naturally be uncomfortable.

However, Zhong Qiang is not an ordinary Qiang.

It is the strongest Qiang after the first zero Qiang and the burning of Dangqiang.

One hundred and ten years ago, Zhong Qiang attacked Longxi and was defeated by Ma Xian, the captain of the Qiang school, and one of the leaders, Hechang, led more than 100,000 Qiang people to surrender to Liangzhou to assassinate Shi.

After more than 100 years of development, nourished by the water and soil of the large and small elm valleys, Zhongqiang's strength has been restored again.

Become one of the greatest threats to the Central Plains Dynasty in the northwest.

The land of the big and small elm valleys and the meanders of the river belong to it, and it raises more than 100,000 elite soldiers.

From Longxi to Xiping, there are their tribes living together.

With Yang Zheng's current strength, it is obviously a little unrealistic to provoke this "ally".

If it weren't for the fact that Midang was attacking the West Sea, I'm afraid he would have come to the door a long time ago.

The situation is actually very dangerous.

With the character of a fan, after swallowing the West Sea, he will definitely not be satisfied.

Fortunately, Yang Zheng made a bold move and stretched out his hand to the Guo family, so he accumulated a little strength.

"For today's plan, we should repair the dock fort, open up the cantonment widely, improve the armament, make peace with Qianghu outside, and train elite soldiers inside." Du Pre said to Yang Zheng.

Zhang Te, Zhou Yu and others are all good executors.

He is a good hand on the battlefield.

Strategically, it's a bit of a hit.

Yang Zheng can also think of repairing the dock fort, opening up the reclamation, and training elite soldiers inside.

It's just not as detailed as he is.

Most of the time, you do whatever comes to mind.

Gongsun Fu said: "Knowing yourself and knowing that you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, Zhong Qiang will be a fierce enemy in the future, so you should send a careful work to hibernate first." ”

Yang Zheng thought so.

Born in sorrow, died in peace.

Occupying Xiping does not mean that everything is worry-free, and you can enjoy it with peace of mind.

Zhong Qiang is a big threat, and Xiahou Ba's Qinzhou doesn't know how long it can last.

Luoyang's victory or defeat also determined the situation in the northwest.

"Zhou Fang guards Linqiang, Yuan Xiao guards Anyi, Zichan is responsible for training young and strong, Yuan Kai is responsible for appeasing the people and repairing Tuntianwu Fort, Jiang is responsible for forming the Qiang Department in the territory, Zijun is responsible for Zhong Qiang's installation, and you all perform your duties." Yang Zheng felt that there were still too few people available around him.

"Obey." The crowd bowed their hands in unison.

After Xiping was smelted and Wudai was scourged, it was not as good as before.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is in ruins.

However, ruins also have the benefit of ruins.

The local Haoqiang and Qianghu tribes were also eradicated by him.

The current Xiping is in ruins, like a blank sheet of paper.

After kicking out the Guo family, the only resistance was gone, and nearly 10,000 Han slaves were released.

Yang Zheng put them together with the Hu slaves who came from Jishi Mountain as a camp.

It consists of tunnong and tun herd.

Du pre-suggested several times that they be pardoned for slavery.

was vetoed by Yang Zheng, something that was too easy to get, no one would cherish it.

Qiang Hu is fierce by nature, afraid of power but not virtuous.

If you are too good to them, they will think that you are weak and easy to bully.

It's the same with domestic slaves and tenant slaves, they have long been used to the days of kneeling down to be slaves, and they will definitely not get used to it if they are suddenly asked to stand up.

Only those who strive for it through their own efforts will cherish it.

What people are most afraid of is not how low their background is, but that they have no hope of rising at all.

For this reason, Yang Zheng set the people under his rule as third-class.

Slaves, to be returned, to govern the people.

Slaves were taken prisoners, surrendered to the army, and all of them, including themselves, belonged to the Guardian Commander's Office.

Among the slaves who perform well, or have been slaves for more than five years, they are transferred to be returned, and the fields are grazing, and seven out of ten are taxed.

Xiping's registered households, after the tribes of the Quartet took the initiative to naturalize, are all governing the people, five out of ten taxes, and five years to be returned, depending on the degree of sinicization to govern the people.

There are many imperfections in this system.

But for now, it's enough.

Try to blur the consciousness of the ethnic group.,An ordinary slave.,After ten years of transformation.,It's almost sinicized.。

Xiping was in turmoil, and it needed stable order the most.

Therefore, Yang Zheng's strategy is still mainly aimed at slaves and the Qianghu tribe.

Du thought for a moment, and then did not object.

After that, everyone went about their job.

The Huangshui River Valley is in full swing with cold winds.

Yang Zheng held the power of the army, and according to his previous promise, he selected two thousand able-bodied people from the Hu slaves to serve as an army.

1,300 brave men of all armies filled the guards.

Counting the young and strong Han people selected from the domestic slaves and tenant slaves, there are now more than 6,500 soldiers under Yang Zheng's command.

If you let it go completely, you can get an army of 20,000.

But soldiers are expensive and not much more expensive.

The soldiers recruited by Yang Zheng have certain requirements for height, weight, and strength.

Wei Wu's three-layer armor, the crossbow of twelve stones, the fifty arrows of the bag, the crown with a sword, the three days of food, the middle of the day and the hundred miles, can be regarded as qualified.

However, this requires the support of a strong national force.

The conditions in Xiping are limited, the population is withering, and if it is according to the standard of Wei Wushu, it would be good to be able to recruit 500 people.

People who can survive natural disasters and wars again and again naturally have nothing to say about their physical fitness.

The people either fought with wild beasts or against bandits.

Those who can escape under the hooves of Yewudai are at least at a very high level of running.

After a few cold winds, heavy snow arrived.

The weather was cold, and the dock forts, tuntians, and canals all stopped.

Only the training continued.

Zhang Te trained young and strong farmers, and Yang Zheng trained new recruits.

The vast majority of training is done by veterans.

And the veterans are not only the veterans of the original Wuwei Battalion, but also many brave warriors in the Qiang Battalion and the Qiang Battalion.

Yang Zheng is just a daily patrol.

Maintain your presence and let the soldiers know who their general is.

Ice and snow are the most tests of people's will.

Fortunately, the Guo family has a rich family background, and there are countless grains, cattle and sheep, so that the soldiers can eat meat and drink soup every day.

The enthusiasm for the training of non-commissioned officers has increased greatly.

The repair of the dock fort, the wide opening of the cantonment reclamation, the external and Qianghu, and the internal training of elite soldiers are all being steadily implemented.

As a descendant of Yang Zheng, he naturally knows the importance of weapons and equipment.

The myth of a Han dynasty reaching Wuhu relies on the bravery of the Han army and the sharp blade of the armor.

Ring-headed sword, eight-sided sword, bow and crossbow, iron armor......

The invincible Huns were defeated in front of these equipment.

In particular, the ring head knife is simply a product of the leading era.

Lightweight, sharp, and lethal.

It is the originator of the Tang knife and the Japanese sword.

In the Wei and Jin dynasties, long lances, stirrups, and heavy cavalry appeared on the stage of history.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

There are many things in all directions, and Yang Zheng doesn't dare to get them.

It's also cheaper for someone else to get it out.

Xiping is the border of the border, surrounded by green mountains on all sides, and a river flows out.

The terrain is similar to Shuzhong.

Closed and remote.

You can play your own behind closed doors.

The improvement of armaments was proposed by Du Pre, and he was naturally responsible for it.

Heavy snow closed the mountain, and Tuntianwu Fort came to an end.

Just when Yang Zheng was thinking about whether to make glass and soap, Du Yu came to him.

A blank piece of paper is painted with patterns and annotations.

Yang Zheng looked at the blank paper and was stunned.

Du Pre explained: "This is Zuo Bo paper, and the Guo family has a lot of it. ”

Yang Zheng had heard a little about Zuo Bo Paper, and when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Zuo Bo improved Caihou paper and produced high-quality paper.

In the chaos of the late Han Dynasty, this kind of paper was buried for a while.

After the Wei and Jin dynasties, it became popular.

The allusion of Luoyang paper is in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, calligraphy has emerged in an endless stream, which is also related to the emergence of this kind of paper.

Calligraphy, like drawing, requires a lot of practice.

Yang Zheng remembered that in history, Zhong Xuan, Zhong Hui, Wei Qian, etc., were all masters of calligraphy.

Yang Zheng looked at the drawings fixedly.

It's actually the method of making repeaters.

During the Warring States Period, there was a saying that all the strong bows and crossbows in the world came from South Korea.

The Qin and Han crossbow machines were very popular.

Zhuge Wuhou improved the crossbow machine, and the Yuan Rong crossbow came out.

Ma Jun of Wei State transformed it and could send fifty arrows, but the process was complex and could not be mass-produced.

As early as when he was in Luogu, Yang Zheng learned the power of the Shu army's crossbow arrows.

More than 100 years later, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu's Moon Formation, 2,000 soldiers carrying 100 crossbows, hid behind the car, and broke 30,000 iron horsemen of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
