On the way back to the Tuxi Department, Hyun sat on the horse and kept drawing something. Ning Yu helped her hold the reins and looked at the crooked drawing on her paper caused by the jolting of the horse:
"What are you drawing?"
Hyun looked up at him:
"When the north attacked the south, southern soldiers often used baggage vehicles to build defenses against the northern cavalry."
"Huh? Doesn't the South use horses to fight wars?"
"There are mountains and lakes in the south, which are not suitable for cavalry operations."
Hyun thought for a while, not knowing when he would leave, nor when the Kun Yu Congress would arrive, so he simply said it all:
"Because of the terrain and climate restrictions in the South, the North usually attacks the South in the winter season. One reason is that the Yangtze River enters the dry season, making it easier to cross the river. The other reason is that the Northern soldiers are not used to the heat and humidity in the South. Also, it is rainy in the South in the summer. It is not suitable for cavalry. For the south, there are few horses in the south. If you want to form a large-scale cavalry team to fight against the north, you must transport horses from the north. However, transporting horses from the north can easily be attacked or cut off the route, so it is difficult for the south to establish a cavalry team. A large-scale cavalry, but..." Hyun rubbed his chin and looked at the crooked picture. "In addition to defending the city, the southern soldiers encountered northern cavalry in the wild. They would surround the baggage vehicles as bunkers to resist the northern cavalry. This tactic is not only suitable for the South, but can also be used in the North."
Ning Feng listened. This is a tactic, especially when one's own side is disadvantaged.
After digesting what Hyun said, he looked at her picture again:
"Then what you drew is a baggage train?"
Hyun shook his head:
"The baggage carts are for carrying baggage, and what I drew is for infantry. Infantry does not have the mobility of cavalry." Thinking of some battles in the early Northern Wei Dynasty, "Sometimes the cavalry ran away in front, leaving the infantry behind, which was easy to be attacked." Although the infantry has a good way of defending against the cavalry attacks from the opponent's cavalry, the cavalry's impact on the infantry is still very damaging."
Ning Yan nodded:
"So, you want to use this kind of vehicle, which can make the infantry as fast as the cavalry, and can also be used as a baggage vehicle to defend the cavalry?"
Hyun patted Ning Yan with satisfaction:
"A child can be taught! A child can be taught!"
Ning Fang raised his hand and touched her face, then pointed at a strange pattern:
"Then what is this?"
Hyun raised it up with a smile:
"A weapon against baggage trains."
Ning Fang choked, well, his woman's mind is indeed different from others.
After walking on the road for a few days and painting for a few days, one day suddenly asked Ning Yu:
"The power in the hands of the nobles has not been taken away yet."
Ning Fang glanced at Jiang Wu, who was walking on the other side, and couldn't tell what his expression was, as if he didn't hear what Yun said, but when he was so close, Hyun didn't lower his voice, how could he not hear it.
Since he began to take over the land and population from the gentry, Ning Sheng wanted to take back the rights from the gentry.
The Western Jin Dynasty implemented a real feudal system for the kings, which was one of the reasons for the "Eight Kings Rebellion". Therefore, Ning Sheng wanted to return to the previous virtual feudal system, but he had to do this slowly, especially when these had already touched others. If it is done too hastily, it will cause turmoil and boil the frog in warm water.
But the situation does not allow the change to be too slow, which is embarrassing. Fortunately, Ning Fang, Ning Min, and Ning Yan are all of the same mind as Ning Sheng. Huo Jiu and Le Zhengkang also agree, and Ru Yuan is also helping Ning Sheng think of the best of both worlds. Method, and Ning Sheng slowly took back the general power bit by bit, leaving the generals with only command power to prevent them from relying on their own troops.
Ning Yu thought for a moment:
Based on the relationship between Ru Yuan and Jiang Wu, it is impossible for Jiang Wu not to know about this series of changes. Did he also acquiesce? Otherwise, it would be impossible for Yun to be so careless.
Thinking of this, I felt a little uncomfortable. I looked at Hyun and then at Jiang Wu, and suddenly leaned over and bit Hyun's nose hard.
Hyun screamed, covering her nose and looking at him dissatisfied:
"What?"
Ning Fang pulled her hand away and saw the clear teeth marks on her nose, and said happily:
"Make my mark."
Hyun glanced at him, was this still King Yi for such a childish behavior?
Jiang Wu turned his head to one side and suppressed a smile.
Of course, Jiang Wu knew about Ning Sheng's actions, but Ru Yuan talked to him for a long time and told him the powerful relationship.
Ru Yuan is right, if given the chance, he will definitely do the opposite, but in that case, if it succeeds, he will be the emperor, what will happen to Xuan? If it fails, what will happen to the whole Jiang family, and what will happen to the tax and The recruitment of troops was welcomed by the people. Huo Jiu and Le Zhengkang, the two people in charge of the military, also favored Ning Sheng. The three princes also agreed with Ning Sheng. Plus Ru Yuan, there was a man who seemed to have the vast universe in his head. Hyun, there is no chance and it is impossible to rebel, so it is better to go with the flow and be a good person. At least he can keep his family and official position. If he cooperates so actively, he will not be mistreated by Ning Sheng. No matter what he thinks, It would be more beneficial to follow Ning Sheng.
Jiang Wu looked at Hyun who was still rubbing her nose:
When did you start paying attention to this woman's feelings?
When they arrived at the Tuxi tribe, when their subordinates saw that their king had brought back the stolen cattle, sheep and women, they immediately swarmed in. Those who wanted to rebel against Anwuleji had no chance now and had to continue to huddle up and fight with each other. The Tuxi tribe united and recognized Anwuleji's leadership position.
Ning Fang and the others were reorganizing in the Tuxi Department, and also helped Ming'an Ulji with repairs. Ning Xuan had been drawing in the tent, revising and revising it, and in order to save paper, the paper all over the tent was already terrible.
Ning Fang came back from outside and saw a few more messy papers on the ground. He quietly walked behind Hyun and picked her up. Hyun looked at the destroyed pictures and struggled to get down:
"Picture! My picture!"
Ning Fang trapped her in his arms and said dissatisfied:
"TuTuTu, you haven't taken good care of me for how many days?"
Hyun looked up at Ning Yu, suddenly raised his pen and drew two beards on him, and laughed:
"It turns out that our King Yi is jealous of the drawings."
Ning Fang lowered his head and rubbed her shoulder, tickling her, and laughed even harder:
"I'm just jealous. Who told you to ignore me? Come ride a horse with me."
Ning Fang was cheating, so Hyun had no choice but to agree. In spite of his crooked reasoning, he helped him wash his face, then hid the drawings, and then the two of them led the horses for a walk on the grassland.
It was already autumn, and the livestock were all fat and strong. The female animals were about to give birth to their cubs, and the herdsmen were busy picking up their cubs. It was a lively scene. In addition, Ming'an Ulji not only took away the looted cattle, All the sheep were snatched back, and all the livestock belonging to Yudu Zhen's tribe were brought back as well. Everyone was filled with joy, as if celebrating the Chinese New Year in the Central Plains.
Ning Yan glanced at Xun, let go of the reins, and let the horse go to graze around. The two of them held hands and walked on the grassland. No one said anything, and they didn't need to say anything. They could understand what the other person was thinking with just one look. The two sat there. On a hillside, quietly watching the sun slowly slide towards the west, two well-fed horses were taking a nap in the sun not far away.
Hyun leaned against Ning Feng, also feeling a little sleepy:
"It's so quiet. It would be quite beautiful if we could find such a place to hide away from the world."
Ning Feng reached out and took her into his arms, kissing her on the forehead.
Hyun nuzzled into his arms, grabbed the clothes on his chest with one hand, and said with a smile:
"But being by your side is the best."
Ning Fang picked her up and put her on his lap, stroking her hair:
"It's best to have you by my side."
He lowered his head and kissed deeply.
Returning to the tent in the evening, Hyun asked the question again on the road: whether the rights of the nobles had been regained.
Ning Fang didn't understand why she kept insisting on this question:
"Do you have any ideas?"
Hyun nodded:
"We cannot take back the rights of all the gentry. Those who support us like Mr. Huo, Mr. Lezheng, and Mr. Jiang can't take away their rights. Not only can we not take them away, but we must also give them appropriate benefits. Let those people understand , now the game of adapting to the emperor’s preferences begins.”
Ning Fang smiled and sat across from her. Originally, they had no intention of taking away the rights of the nobles who supported their changes. They had to give people some sweeteners. They couldn't let people support them for a long time and end up in vain. However, they did not explain to Hyun that they liked it. Look at her thinking seriously:
"Okay, you're right."
"In addition," Hyun took out the drawings, "These are the vehicles and shoulder-fired siege guns I drew."
As soon as Ning Yan heard about the shoulder-fired siege gun, he took the blueprint and looked at it carefully.
Hyun sat next to him and said:
"I'm going to talk about these two drawings now. You have to remember that when you go back and tell the craftsmen, they will make it."
Then he started talking.
The carriage that transports the infantry is a four-horse horse. It is emphasized that four horses must be found with similar running speed, otherwise the horses will lose their strength. The entire carriage canopy is divided into two layers, and the outer layer is relatively thick wormwood. In addition to blocking arrows , you can also collect the arrows stuck on it for your own use. The inspiration is Zhuge Liang's straw boat borrowing arrows. There is a layer of wood inside, but the wood part should not be too heavy, as it will affect the speed and endurance of the horse. The purpose is simply to block arrows. There are arrow holes in the carriage. The direction of the crossbow is relatively flexible. It can attack directly from the carriage. In order to reduce the load on the horses, craftsmen are required to consider reducing the weight of the carriage. Such a carriage can also be used as an arrow. Baggage trains to defend against the enemy's cavalry.
As the name suggests, the shoulder-fired siege cannon is reminiscent of the current shoulder-fired rocket launchers. If the siege cannon is carried on the shoulder, it cannot be compared with a real siege cannon, but it is more powerful than a crossbow and more powerful than a siege cannon. It has good maneuverability, small size and easy to carry.
The drawings are rough, but the text is detailed, and Hyun expresses his ideas clearly in words.
Regarding taxation and the military system, Hyun found that integrating modern concepts into past practices is relatively easy to be accepted by everyone, and the taxation and military system have already seen results. Hyun is working hard to keep his protective umbrella standing!
Ning Yan was very impressed by this, but then he thought about it and raised his head and asked her:
"Why are you telling me this? Why don't you go back?"
"Well, this is not far from the Department of Distribution."
Ning Feng grabbed her nervously:
"What are you going to do?"
Hyun smiled and said:
"I want to lead those noble tribes to make mistakes," Ning Yu looked at her in confusion, and continued, "After the Bialie tribe joined several more tribes, their strength was comparable to that of the Kunyu Kingdom. They had already harbored different intentions and were ready to make a move. Wait. It would be better for them to clean it up after they start it, and it would be better to clean it up early, which will save them many long nights and dreams." (To be continued)
