The previous few times out of the plug were not satisfactory for Li Yunze, because he failed to have a hearty battle.

Especially when he was in Dingxiang County, he was disgusted by Cheng Buzhi.

This time, I can finally have a good time with the Huns.

"Zhidu." At the military meeting before the expedition, Li Yunze's first name was Zhidu, "Order you to be the grain supervisor, and escort the grain, grass and military supplies to all parts of Dingxiang Yunzhong in advance." ”

Zhidu, who was expressionless, immediately came out of the queue and saluted, "Oh!" ”

"After arriving in the clouds." Li Yunze's words have not yet been finished: "First inspect the warehouses in various places, if there is a shortage, deduct the greedy ink..."

"The ministers must bring the thieves to justice!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Yunze smiled and waved his hand, "Do you think that the border army is a local powerhouse, and it can be kneaded by you?" Write it down and dispose of it when the king passes. ”

"喏~~~"

Zhi is a cool official, and when he is in the place, he is naturally rampant, no matter what kind of heroism you are, it will be ga.

After all, the place at this time is strong, and it is not the strong existence that can stir up the world at the end of the Han Dynasty.

At this time, Haoqiang has not yet developed, at least in the eyes of cool officials like Zhidu, that is a lamb to the slaughter.

But not in the army, especially the border army.

They fought with the Huns all year round, disregarding life and death, and when they really couldn't do anything, they could simply pat their buttocks, turn around and go out of the plug to the Huns.

For example, Lu Juan, the good brother of Lao Liu, is like this, I heard that it is not bad to mix with the Huns.

If Zhidu uses the same way to deal with the border army as he does against Haoqiang, he will definitely die.

"Draw the dark."

"The minister is here."

"You are responsible for raising cattle and horses, and you are responsible for transporting military funds. Then make butcher cheese for military use. ”

“... Here. ”

Ji Dian is the servant of Zhongshan Kingdom, don't look at the servant as a low position, but in fact, he is one of the nine dignified ministers.

The imperial servant of the Han Dynasty was responsible for the management of Ma Zheng, and Ma Zheng was a major project related to the fortunes of the country in this era.

Li Yunze let Ji Di take care of cattle and sheep, which is also reasonable.

As for butcher cheese, it is considered a by-product of cattle, sheep and livestock, and it is natural for a servant to take care of it.

It's to hide yourself, and you are distressed that you can't have a chance to perform as a deputy to others.

"Master Father, Gongsun Hong." Li Yunze arranged people very smart, but unfortunately the emotional intelligence is not high, and the scheming Gongsun Hong, "The master father Yan is the long history, Gongsun Hong is the marching Sima, the military counselor with the army, and the military staff are all recommended by the two of you." ”

Master Father Yan and Gongsun Hong glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes.

This is the treatment of a true henchman.

"Whoa!"

When the Han army went on an expedition, the Son of Heaven wanted to worship the generals.

After that, he was given an edict and a tiger talisman to command the soldiers and horses.

When the shogun went on an expedition, he would set up a temporary shogunate with the army as a staff organization.

The shogunate's greatest power was to be able to provide advice to the shogun, and then influence the shogun's decision-making.

"Yan Yi." Li Yunze's eyes looked at Yan Yi, the private mansion in charge of money and goods, "Open the warehouse and take the money." ”

"Whoa." Yan Yi first responded, and then asked, "Dare to ask the king, how much do you take?" ”

Li Yunze did some calculations in his heart, and he had already calculated, "This time, there are a total of ten foot soldiers and two cavalry soldiers, with a total of 6,000 soldiers." According to each person's eight horses, eight grains, two sheep, and eight miscellaneous silks. ”

Yan Yi's mental arithmetic ability is good, and he quickly calculated the result, "Money, forty-eight thousand." Grain, 48,000 hundreds. Sheep, twelve thousand. Miscellaneous silk, forty-eight thousand horses. ”

"These are the rewards of exaltation."

Li Yunze instructed: "You should discuss with the master father the specific military materials, grain, and grass materials needed to send troops." It is necessary to prepare for at least two months' worth of troops, but more than necessary. ”

Pulling money is not the same as military funding.

The money given to the regular soldiers was to keep their morale high and they went to battle.

Li Yunze, who has a lot of money, has a lot of money.

According to the current pricing of the Han Dynasty, a piece of money is a thousand dollars, and eight thousand dollars is not a small number, and Li Yunze is still a new money minted by the Zhongshan National Money Bureau, smooth and beautiful, heavy and heavy, and it is highly sought after as soon as it comes out, compared to all kinds of bad money before,

Private money can even be exchanged at a ratio of one to two or even one to three.

Needless to say, even if Zhongshan has had good weather and grain production has increased greatly in recent years, grain is still an important material of the first class among the people.

The food distributed to the soldiers was not for them to eat, they went to war with the army, and the food was naturally supplied by the king, and of course they had to take care of the food when they went to war for the king.

This grain is reserved for the soldiers' families.

The same is true for sheep, which can be regarded as improving the food for the soldiers, after all, mutton is the mainstream meat of this era.

On weekdays, the main meat of the people is still dog meat. Usually only wealthy families and powerful people can afford to eat mutton.

In the case of miscellaneous silk, it is a kind of auxiliary currency.

In the past, a horse of miscellaneous silk could roughly be exchanged for bad money or private money, but now if you want to exchange the new money from the coinage, you have to make it one to two and one to three.

This is not the price set by Li Yunze or Chang'an City, but the price agreed by the people themselves.

"Prime Minister, Taifu."

Li Yunze looked at Zhang Ou and Shi Fen again, "Mobilize the army and the people, 10,000 people are enough." Forced service, the civil servants will not be taxed this year. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Ou wanted to object.

If they don't collect taxes, what will they eat?

However, Shi Fen on the side dragged him without a trace, and then saluted "喏~~~"

The military and civilian husbands came with conscription, and here in the Han Dynasty, conscription is an obligation, so naturally there is no promotion fee.

In fact, Li Yunze wants to reform the military system and completely professionalize the army, and the same is true for logistics troops.

In this way, it can avoid the need to mobilize dozens or even millions of conscripts in every major war, which will have a huge impact and harm on the people.

Of course, this kind of thing can only be arranged after entering Chang'an.

The county soldiers who were able to fight in Zhongshan were basically taken away by Li Yunze this time.

With only a few thousand people, Li Yunze could serve as the commander of the commander to Qu and even Yutun, so that there would not be a situation in which the command was unfavorable.

But if there are more than 10,000 people, then no matter how strong his ability and experience are, he will not be able to command.

There are no useful generals under his hands, which really makes Li Yunze scratch his head a little.

Qu is led by the military marquis, with 500 people as a song, which is the most standard tactical unit.

On top of the song are the divisions, and each department is led by the captain or military commander, which belongs to the smallest scale of the battle unit.

If you go up, it will be a leading general in the true sense.

The title of general is rare in the Han Dynasty, and the position is very high. Usually, generals are set up temporarily only when they are in battle. Those who can have specific general titles are all famous and trusted by the Son of Heaven.

"I don't know how old Wei Qing is this year."

Huo Qu's illness doesn't have to think about it, at this time, Huo Quai's father Huo Zhongru can't say that he hasn't been a small official in Pingyang County.

However, if Wei Qing is a boy, he may already be a teenager.

"Find a chance to find out, after all, it's the famous Wei Huo."

Zhidu set off first with the men who were serving in the conscription, drove the cattle and horses gathered by the servants and the secret of the servants, pulled one cart after another full of grain and military supplies, and went to Taiyuan County through Kucheng, and from there turned north to Dingxiang County.

The regular soldiers who had previously scattered to belong to the counties of Zhongshan Kingdom quickly assembled after receiving the order, and after receiving the reward, the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

Even if Li Yunze said at this time that he would take them to the Qingjun side of Chang'an City, it is estimated that there will be many sergeants willing to follow.

"Taifu, Prime Minister."

Li Yunze handed over to Shi Fen and Zhang Ou, "The matter in the country, please leave it to the two." ”

"Don't worry, the king, we will live up to the king's trust!"

Li Yunze nodded, bowed his head to the group of beauties led by Zhuo Wenjun not far away, and then turned his horse's head and rode directly to the official road leading to Kucheng.

Behind him, thousands of foot soldiers set off in order.

The 1,000 cavalrymen, dressed in cloth clothes, rode on horseback and led pack horses and war horses, and followed closely behind Li Yunze.

After robbing so many horses and spending so much time, the elite cavalry that was trained was just this thousand horses.

The equipment of this cavalry was extremely luxurious, and even the horses were as many as three horses per person.

You must know that even the palace tent army of Da Dan Yu is not so extravagant.

The herders on the steppes are also reluctant to raise horses because there is little profit to be made. The output of meat, skin, tendons, and milk is not as good as that of cattle, and it is very delicate and easy to get sick and wasted.

Only when Da Dan Yu and the tribal nobles are compulsorily required to do so, they will take the initiative to raise horses, and the main thing to raise on weekdays is cattle and sheep.

Although Li Yunze only had a thousand cavalry, their equipment was the pinnacle of this era.

There are three horses, one is used for transportation, one is used to carry armor and weapons, all kinds of military food, and the last one is also the tallest and strongest, and there is nothing to carry.

War horses are only ridden during battles, and they are fed on weekdays, so that they can exert their maximum speed and endurance during battles.

Li Yunze equipped the war horse with horse armor, the most commonly used weapon in the hands of the Huns, and the bow and arrow became ineffective.

The cavalry were equipped with plate armor, not canned armor like the Europa Knights, but a simplified version to reduce weight.

If the weight of the armor stomach is too heavy, it will cause the impact power of the war horse to drop significantly.

Although it is a simplified version of the armor, because it uses hydraulic forging and is a low-carbon steel starting as a raw material, its defense ability is extremely good, and the lining is lined with chain armor and silk armor, which is already to the extent that non-heavy weapons cannot be injured.

How many of the Huns could be equipped with hammers, axes, bones, maces, and other heavy weapons that consumed a lot of iron?

In addition to the armor, the weapons used by the cavalry have also been upgraded.

First of all, the cavalry spear as the main weapon, a cavalry spear that is one and a half feet long, with the help of the power of impact when charging, can stab the dead even without a gun head, not to mention that it is equipped with a steel gun head.

This kind of cavalry spear is a disposable equipment on the battlefield, because when the cavalry spear is clamped and quickly charges and collides with the enemy, the huge reaction force will cause the arm to be killed directly.

So before impacting, you need to let go.

After that, it is necessary to change the weapon, usually a short gun with a length of one zhang, and it is much more convenient to practice than a horse lance with a suitable length.

In addition to this, the cavalrymen were armed with sabers.

With high-quality steel, the creation of a saber can naturally be included in the agenda.

The sharp and sturdy saber had a strong equipment advantage against the Hun cavalry with at most leather armor.

These are the standard equipment that Li Yunze allotted to the cavalry.

In addition, the cavalry is equipped with some additional weapons, such as various bows and arrows, tiger bows, wither bows, horn bows, road bows, etc., as well as flails, bones, etc., which are all personal equipment.

This shows how difficult it is to train a good cavalryman.

Not only must you be proficient in horsemanship, but you must also be proficient in the use of various weapons.

You can fight on a horse, and you can still shoot arrows with a knife when you get off the horse.

In addition, it is necessary to practice battle formation coordination, various cavalry combat skills, and so on.

Professional sergeants are all out of work, and they spend their days honing their skills, and their minds are all about how to kill people more effectively.

In order to support these elite professional sergeants, the minimum standard must be one person in a family of five.

For cavalry, it takes almost ten families to barely afford it.

The kind in film and television dramas, where you can ride a horse and fight a war by finding someone on a horse, does not exist in reality.

Unless it's a nomadic tribe who grew up on horseback.

Moreover, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of cavalry roared and charged to attack the village or something, not to mention whether it could be placed on the battlefield, the economic aspect alone was enough to lead to bankruptcy.

Zhongshan was very rich, selling white paper, printing books, iron farm tools, cattle and sheep grain, and even earning the difference in seigniorage through the mint.

But such a rich Zhongshan country is just raising a thousand elite cavalry.

Powerful cavalry is not spoken, but smashed with real money!
