After several days of feasting and drinking, a lot of money and material reserves in the government treasury were spent, but it also brought about real results. The people's enthusiasm for joining the army became high again, and the state and animal husbandry government followed suit and started from the government.
More than a thousand people were recruited from the army to supplement the Ya soldiers, bringing the number of Ya soldiers to 4,000. More than 3,000 people were recruited from the north to supplement the guards.
The trapped camp replenished the losses caused by the previous battle and restored its strength of 1,000 people. Although many people died in the battle, some others were transferred to other positions due to injuries, which made this ace team's collaborative combat capabilities
It is not as strong as before, but with a little training, the combat effectiveness can be restored. Because many soldiers have participated in actual combat, many soldiers have rich combat experience, and the officers have also experienced war training. This unit will become more powerful.
Be more powerful.
The Flying Bear Cavalry not only made up for its losses, but also increased the number of troops by a thousand people, reaching 2,000 cavalry. The newly added troops no longer used intensive charges as their main means of attack, but used traditional cavalry, shooting, and roaming.
Fighting and other methods exist as auxiliary forces.
In previous battles, the number of Flying Bear Hussars was insufficient, and without cover from both wings, it was easy to suffer unnecessary losses. When summing up after the war, the officers responded that instead of having to temporarily recruit troops from other units in every battle,
It is better to bring light cavalry with you at all times than to send light cavalry to support.
Although the frontal impact capability of the light cavalry is much worse, it is more capable of being flexible, adaptable, and able to do a lot of chores. Whether it is reconnaissance, pursuit, or cover, the existence of the light cavalry is indispensable. Just rely on a thousand assault cavalry,
In battles involving tens of thousands of people, it is still not enough.
Of course, the treatment of the light cavalry will naturally be lower than that of the assault cavalry. Generally, the trainee soldiers, or followers, and the subordinates serve as the main force, and the sergeants among the soldiers serve as the officers. As for the assault cavalry,
The sergeants serve as the main force, and the knights serve as officers at all levels.
Although the hierarchical system may sound a little less universal, it is also indispensable. As long as the fairness and justice of the upper and lower channels can be ensured and the mobility between levels can be guaranteed, then the hierarchical system can stimulate strong vitality. Of course, there are also negative examples
, the "nine-grade Zhongzheng system", a system in which "dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, and mouse's son can dig holes" can only create those useless people in the Western Jin Dynasty who can be frightened by the sight of a horse.
In addition to the expansion of some troops, a crash course was recently opened in Yacheng, north of Yinchuan, just next to the school. That place was originally reserved for the Army Primary School, but the opening of the Army Primary School has been pushed back again and again.
It will be postponed to next year. The place is idle, so I will use it for the crash course first. Anyway, the training time of the crash course is only three months, and it will be disbanded after the spring.
Those who participated in the "crash course" training were all low-level officers who had participated in previous battles. Most of them were commanders and team leaders. Most of them came from the "trap camp" and "Flying Bear Hussars" within the Ya soldiers, and some also came from the Northern Army.
There is a quota each for the local soldiers, Qiang and Hu Yicong, the Dangxiang Qiang and the Xianbei people. As expected, they are all given to relatives of the commanders.
It is clear that this crash course is for gold plating. After three months of studying, you will have to be promoted to one rank. If Chen Cheng had not repeatedly emphasized that the officers should be mainly officers at the two levels of commander and team leader, and if Zhao Yun hadn't been hiding
Face blocked all the intercessors, fearing that all the more than thirty places would be taken up by relatives of the generals.
No one is a fool. The higher you go, the smaller your chances of getting ahead. If you can occupy a few positions early now, maybe they will be of great use in the future. It's a pity that Zhao Yun's face is not white at all. On the contrary, everyone now
They all agreed that he had a very dark face and was never affectionate.
As the sergeant in charge and the commander of the tooth soldiers, Zhao Yun can not only review the promotion of military attaches, but also manage the "teaching camp". He also holds the most elite tooth soldiers in his hands, and can directly mobilize the "trap camp" and "flying bear qiao"
"Ride", there is no need to compromise with anyone.
The small political power established by Chen Cheng and Yan Zhong had only been established for two years. It was on the rise, and people's hearts were still high-spirited. Zhao Yun was selfless and rejected all kinds of intercessions with a black face, but no one responded.
He slandered and slandered. However, this may also be because Zhao Yun's own martial arts were too strong. He also personally participated in the compilation of the "Cavalry Drill Code" and trained a powerful army such as the "Flying Bear Hussars". His prestige in the army was too great.
Gao has also gained Chen Cheng's complete trust, so no one dares to challenge him for the time being.
When fighting a war, we need to pay attention to two aspects, one is people, and the other is equipment. The blacksmith shops and workshops under the Ministry of Industry have begun to fully convert to making weapons and armor, and less than one-fifth of the blacksmith shops are still producing.
Farm tools and tools. The molten iron flowing out of the blast furnace contains much less carbon, and can barely be called steel. However, this kind of steel can be used to make farm tools, but it cannot be directly used to make weapons. It needs further processing.
Become qualified weapons and armor.
The fires in the blacksmith shops outside the city are burning day and night, and there are clanging sounds every day. However, people inside and outside the city have become accustomed to it. At first, they thought it was very noisy, but now they are used to it. In order to improve
As for the armor coverage, Chen Cheng further simplified the armor. Except for the two pieces in the middle, which are made of repeatedly beaten steel plates, other parts can be saved as much as possible. This not only saves steel, but more importantly, saves man-hours.
, suitable for equipping soldiers with large amounts of equipment.
Of course, the helmet still needs to be thicker.
After handing over all the work, Chen Cheng began to redesign the new textile machinery. After drawing three views for four days and manufacturing the machinery for another ten days, the new mechanical equipment and the old textile machinery
In comparison, the efficiency has increased by more than three times. If you are experienced, this factor can be amplified to five times.
Although it has not yet reached the efficiency that Chen Cheng expected, it is already a great improvement. So a new weaving bureau was established under the Ministry of Industry, which operated in the same way as the previous lumber and coal factories. The government provided technology and
Part of the funds and manpower were distributed to officials at all levels headed by Yan Zhong. However, most of the small shareholders could only contribute money and personnel. They could also participate in supervision during quarterly reviews, but they did not directly
The right to participate in management.
Textile is a highly labor-intensive industry. Chen Cheng does not intend to directly manage it by the government for a long time. After three or four years, these industries will be distributed. On the one hand, he will use benefits to win over military generals and local powerful people.
On the other hand, although the textile industry is highly profitable, it also requires a lot of manpower.
Nowadays, Liangzhou is full of powerful people, and each family has hundreds or even thousands of subordinates. Instead of spending time to liberate the manpower from the powerful scholars, it is better to let them directly participate in production. Eat the first wave of dividends first
, and then sell the machinery and equipment to the powerful powerful people under their control, and reap the second wave of dividends. When the powerful powerful people are fattened up, wouldn’t it be nice to upgrade the technology again and harvest the powerful powerful people again?
You know, leeks won’t grow quickly if you don’t cut them.
In order to get more dividends, Chen Cheng also discussed with Yan Zhong for an hour and promulgated a new law called the "Patent Law" to ensure that every time a new textile machinery is launched in the future, the sickle can be wielded again.
There is currently no one in charge of legislation in Zhongshu Province. He and Yan Zhong worked together to come up with a new law.
While Chen Cheng was thinking about how to wield the sickle more efficiently, he used a hammer to drive the last nail in. He said to the workers and young students around him: "Okay, I announce that our first lathe in Liangzhou has been completed.
!”
The workers and students nearby all cheered together. They were involved in production on the front line, so they naturally knew how important such a machine tool could be.
A young student said loudly: "Teacher, let me try it first!"
As he said that, he couldn't wait to sit on it. Look at the knife rest and the gears. This is power, right?
While everyone was watching the efficient work of the lathe, a few teenagers squeezed out and said to Chen Cheng: "Teacher, we also want to go to Army Primary School!"
"Have you thought about it?"
The expressions of the teenagers were very determined, and they said in unison: "I have thought about it!"
“If you’ve thought about it, just do it!”
"Uh, teacher, aren't you angry?"
"Hey, why should I be angry?" Chen Cheng said with a smile: "Everyone has his own ambitions. Besides, you can continue to study in the army. When you retire one day, or if you no longer want to fight, you can continue to study mechanics.
"
"yes!"
Chen Cheng can understand the idea of young people wanting to join the army. Most of them are orphans whose parents have died. The fastest way to climb up is to join the army and fight. The Han family has always had a tradition that non-military merit cannot be granted a title.
Although you may earn a lot of money in this industry, how can it compare with joining the military?
Besides, they have been in Yacheng for more than a year, living with brave warriors with strict disciplines every day. It is normal for them to want to join the army under the influence of what they have heard and seen. Although Chen Cheng himself thinks that Liangzhou needs all kinds of soldiers.
Such a talent, but the current environment is like this, and he can't change it at once.
Just as a series of loud shouts came from inside the factory, and the sound of horse hooves outside, the tooth soldier walked in and said loudly: "Shang Shu Yan sent someone to deliver a message, asking the lord to return to the house immediately. There are important matters to discuss.
"
It snowed not long ago, and the roads outside were frozen hard, and the horses could already run on the roads. Chen Cheng quickly ran back to the Prefectural Mufu from the east of the city on horseback. After entering the door, he jumped directly
He got off the horse and walked towards the lobby. Gulu was getting smarter now, and he didn't even hesitate to ask people to take care of him. He would go back to the stables by himself.
After stamping his feet at the door of the lobby to get the snowflakes off his boots, Chen Cheng took off his boots and walked up. Usually there is no fire in the lobby, but since Yan Zhong is here, it is naturally different. Put it in the lobby.
The four large copper tripods in the corner were burned red, radiating heat continuously.
"Your Majesty," Yan Zhong revealed the matter before Chen Cheng could speak, "Han Sui has come to Yinchuan!"
