Chapter Seventy-Two: The Three-Plate Axe Runs Wild in the World
Wu Shengnan raised his head and peeked at this young adult, and his heart was uneasy, now this adult is his greatest hope, if this adult is also afraid of the arrogance of the Wang family, the world is so big, where can she go to avenge her grievances.
I saw that the adult's fingers were lightly clasped on the desk, and the sound of the knuckles and the desk seemed to knock on her heart.
"I can't take your form!" Yu Feng in the hall groaned for a long time, and when he said such a sentence, Wu Shengnan suddenly seemed to be thundered, his body shook, and he couldn't stand steadily. After standing stunned for a long time, he suddenly rushed over, and the guards beside Yu Feng thought that this woman was going to spill, and they all took two steps forward and wanted to stop her.
saw Wu Shengnan rushing in front of Yu Feng, knelt down, kowtowed again and again, and after a few clicks, his forehead was already blurred.
"Get up!" Yu Feng motioned for the guards to pull her up. "As a local military general, this official interferes in local civil affairs, which is inconsistent with the rules of the imperial court, but if what you say is true, this royal horse thief is also a big harm when it runs rampant in the place, and the official has the responsibility of guarding the place, of course, you can't sit idly by!"
"What's going on here, it's just a one-sided word now, and there are no documents in the local area asking for the bandits to be handed over, how can you tell me to make a decision?"
"My lord, what the folk girl said is true, if there is half a lie, it will be struck by five thunders from the sky!"
"I'll give you two choices, the first one, you're in this state, I'll send it to the Zhizhou Yamen for you, I think the Lord Zhizhou won't brush my thin noodles, everything will be done in accordance with the rules and regulations of the imperial court, and I will always give you an explanation!" Yu Feng said slowly: "Second, this horse is so rampant, and the suppression of bandits is also within the authority of this official, if you are true, you will naturally want to exterminate these lawless thieves, but this has nothing to do with your paper, it is purely the military affairs of this official, have you ever understood?" Moreover, I have to verify what you said one by one, and the matter of suppressing bandits is naturally necessary to prepare all kinds of matters before troops and horses can be dispatched, and naturally it is not feasible in thirty or fifty days! ”
"The folk girl understands!" Wu Shengnan's face was full of tears, and her forehead was blurred with flesh and blood, and she looked a little hideous: "The great kindness of the adult, the folk girl is willing to make a cow and a horse to repay it, and the folk girl is willing to choose the second way!" ”
Wu Shengnan also figured it out, not to mention that these yamen were unwilling to accept their own papers, even if they received their own papers, those who perfunctorily judged the case were a little conscientious, if they really colluded with the Wang family to frame themselves, it was definitely not impossible to put themselves in prison. Even if the ancestors of his Wu family are virtuous and let himself meet an adult like Hai Qingtian, he doesn't want to invite the military horses of the imperial court to arrest the Wang family, the Wang family has so many horse thieves, and they can't take it down with a few errand soldiers. In the end, I still asked to come to Mr. Yu, who was in charge of the soldiers and horses, in this case, why take so many risks in front of me, wouldn't it be better to ask Mr. Yu directly?
And Mr. Yu has relented, and at present, he just needs to verify what he said one by one, as long as he waits for a while, he can get revenge, and the grievances are in front of him, what can he not wait for?
"These days, you don't have to run around, by the side of this official, this official will protect you thoroughly!" Yu Feng explained, and ordered the guards to take her down to rest, but he muttered in the hall.
Horse thief, horse thief is good! When Yu Feng heard Wu Shengnan say that the Wang family had raised so many ringing horses, his first reaction was to hit the abacus on the horses and saddle sheaths of those horse thieves. Yu Feng had a small horse team under his command, led by Qiu Shi, and even such a small horse team cost Yu Feng a lot of money. Although there is a horse administration in Shandong, however, it is not easy to buy some qualified war horses, especially a large number of them, if there is really a horse thief of this scale, a breath of extermination, there will always be a lot of horses, you can enrich your horse team.
Besides, according to what Wu Shengnan said, those horse thieves are really innocent, even if they use swords to kill them, they can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven. What he needs to consider now is that his own army has just formed an army, and its combat effectiveness has not yet been formed, does it have the ability to exterminate such a large-scale horse thief? In addition, the horse thieves come and go like the wind, and their mobility is strong, if they are not able to block the other party, relying on their own foot soldiers alone, I am afraid that even if they can fight at that time, it will only be a defeat situation, which is not in line with their own goals.
Infantry and cavalry fight, that's why it's not good, if you win, you can't catch up, if you lose, you can't escape. Don't look at such a few short words, but it is the precious experience that the Ming Dynasty has fought against the enemy on the northern grassland for hundreds of years, and exchanged blood and bones. Why did the Ming Dynasty set up nine sides, build a strong city, and build a defensive line, it is a strategy formulated after countless battles with the nomads in the north, which also caused the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to be worth mentioning in terms of defense.
The Ming army at the time of the founding of the country was not like this, and the Ming army at that time was indeed the strongest army in the world. The reason why the Mongolian iron cavalry that was rampant in Europe and Asia was defeated by the Ming army, and even finally fled to the poor countryside and was wiped out by the Ming army, in addition to the quality and morale of the soldiers, tactics are also a very important factor.
At that time, the Ming army had a fixed routine against the Mongolian iron cavalry, and later historians called it "the three-plate axe of the Ming army". The Mongol army was mainly cavalry, while the Ming army was dominated by foot soldiers. Why is it that the Ming army is often victorious in battle? It is important to benefit from the Ming army's rational deployment of the three major battalions. The so-called three battalions refer to the Shenji Battalion (firearms unit), the 3,000 battalion (horse team) and the five army battalions (foot soldiers, or spears and halberds and other long soldiers).
How did the Ming army's three axes play? First of all, after discovering the Mongol cavalry, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion will immediately move closer to the front of the formation, and prepare for the firing of artillery and firearms, and fire a salvo under unified command. This salvo was the first blow to the Mongol cavalry, that is, the first axe.
After the Shenji battalion finished shooting, it would immediately retreat to the two flanks of the team, and then the cavalry of the 3,000 battalion and the 5th army battalion would immediately fill the vacant positions and launch a surprise attack on the already damaged Mongolian cavalry, which was the second axe of the Ming army.
After the cavalry assault, the infantry of the 5th Army Battalion began to attack, often armed with cavalry weapons (such as spears, etc.), to launch a final blow against the Mongol cavalry, which was also the last axe of the Ming army.
It can be seen that this is a complete combat system, the Ming army uses firearms to suppress the enemy's cavalry to advance and frustrate its sharpness, immediately launch a counter-assault, and then use infantry to consolidate the battlefield (the god machine gun is in the front, the horse team is in the rear, and the foot soldiers are second), the specific use of this system varies according to the different battlefield conditions, and its detailed operation process is much more complicated, such as the formation conversion of multi-arm troops, etc., but the general process is the same.
The Mongolian cavalry, which is known for its impact power, was defeated by the tactics of the Ming army, no matter how fierce the cavalry could not carry the three axes, which were extremely sharp and often made the Mongols miserable, but helpless.
As a later generation, Yu Feng also knows that such a set of tactics will shine in Europe hundreds of years later, a dwarf used similar tactics to the Ming army to conquer most of Europe, and his tactics, simply summed up, are three sentences: first bombarded with artillery, then cut with cavalry, and finally infantry. It was with this method of warfare that he conquered most of Europe and eventually became the supreme emperor, whose name was Napoleon. Bonaparte.
Coming to this era, especially after mastering his own strength, the army in Yu Feng's mind should be like this, firearms, cavalry, foot soldiers, all three are indispensable, his own foot soldiers are still in continuous training, and the formation of combat effectiveness is just around the corner, but it is firearms and cavalry, which are absolutely indispensable. Moreover, the biggest enemy in Yu Feng's heart is still the Tatar cavalry from the north, which is very similar to the original Mongolian cavalry.
Therefore, as long as it is something that can strengthen the construction of his army, Yu Feng will definitely not let it go, not to mention, to exterminate these horse thieves, he can also stabilize the place and harvest people's hearts. This is also the reason why he didn't think about it for long to give Wu Shengnan this choice.
"My lord, Shopkeeper Wu asks to see you!"
The guard's whispered proclamation interrupted Yu Feng's musings: "Wu Ting? What did he come to do, call him in! ”
It's not the end of the month, and it's not the time to settle the bill, this Wu Ting came to find himself to do something, it's a business matter, he should also go to Wu Yanran, Yu Feng was a little puzzled in his heart.
Wu Ting hurriedly walked in, but with a strange look on his face, Yu Feng's personal soldiers around him all knew this Wu shopkeeper, knew that this was his own family, and smiled one after another.
"My lord, there was a sudden deal in the shop, and the little one didn't dare to call the shots, and was about to go outside the city to find the adult, knowing that the adult was in the yamen, so he hurriedly came!"
"What kind of business, you can't call the shots?" Yu Feng smiled, but he was a little surprised in his heart, in the operation of this Four Seas Commercial Bank, he delegated power very thoroughly, except for the installation of a few cronies of Yanding to help do things in it and do some necessary precautions, he handed over all other things to Wu Ting, and now there is still a business that Wu Ting is not sure about, what a big deal this must be?
"It's not too big, it's just a little weird!" Wu Ting hung his hand and said respectfully: "Suddenly, a merchant asks for a thousand loads of coarse salt, and gives five taels of silver a load, which must be unprofitable to sell, if it is eaten, but it is not so much, the little one looks at this matter is a little unauthentic, and specially came to ask the adults to decide!" ”
