To talk about it, the transfer of the prisoner is not only because of meritorious service, but also a microcosm of the Mo family's strategic consideration of the situation in the north under the times, he is just a duckweed overturned under the waves of the times.

The infantry knight company he was in was originally used for patrols, and it turned out that when Takayanagi had just gained a foothold, he still needed such a mobile force to penetrate deep into the north.

With the smooth negotiation of Handan, the war debt borrowed by Zhao Houzhang for the inheritance of the war was exchanged for a franchise to the northern trade, and a new chamber of commerce was being formed.

The Mo family mixed sand to control, but not directly controlled, which could not only pull the merchants of Handan and Zhao on the same front, but also make the power of the merchants gradually develop.

In addition, some officers at the level of division commanders were transferred from Si in the Gaoliu area to form a regular field corps.

With the development of the border forts, the increase in population, and the fact that some trade and vassal tribes north of the Gaoliu region made it less necessary to consider skirmishing with the Hu people for the time being, and now the retired farmers with guns in the border forts were enough to deal with some small-scale conflicts.

Yunzhong, Jiuyuan and other places are going to fight big battles, there are agricultural areas, which is the development direction that the Mo family cannot give up, and it is also a move to kill the emergence of a large farming and nomadic mixed tribe in the northern grasslands after the advent of the gunpowder era.

In order to fight a big battle, the existence of a light and mobile infantry knight with a company as a unit of action, harassment and small-scale combat is of little significance.

Changing officers and forming a corps suitable for future field battles is the future development direction of Zhao Dimo's family.

A large number of company-level cadres who were accustomed to small-scale operations and border conflicts had to withdraw to Sishang to re-study, and a large number of young officers who had just graduated came to Gaoliu precisely to realize the Sishang transformation of Zhao Dimo's righteous teachers - to be able to fight large-scale field battles, not small-scale armed conflicts.

The task of the infantry knights in the field is to use their own mobility, cooperate with artillery and shock cavalry to raid the opponent's flank, use muskets to open the gap in the phalanx, create chaos, and create opportunities for the warrior knights to attack.

Zhao Guo Duoma, if Zhao Houzhang has the ambition of reform, the new stirrup cavalry will soon be formed, and in the future conflict, it will not rely on personal bravery and equestrianism, but on discipline, formation, and cooperation.

The advantage of Zhao is that the people in Daidi and Chengyi are not bad in equestrianism, and the Mo family cannot take advantage of it by equestrianism alone.

On the other hand, Chu Yue's cavalry is very poor, Huaibei Sishang is the best sample horse land in Chu Yue, Yue basically has no cavalry, and Chu Guo's cavalry is also very poor, the Mo family considers that the future conflict with Chu Yue needs a large number of light cavalry officers with small-scale harassment operations.

Because the territory of Chu is too wide, once there is a war with Chu, the actions of light cavalry are the best at detouring, sneak attacking, cutting off food, and cutting back roads outside the battle.

The cavalry officers in the Gaoliu area were transferred to Sishang, which was also after the promotion of horse farming in northern Jiangsu and Sishang, a large number of equestrian skills were acceptable compared to Chu Yue, but compared to the generations and Zhao, the yeoman farmers could form new light cavalry, so as to obtain a greater cavalry advantage over Chu Yue.

The shock cavalry was too expensive, too cumbersome to train, and Sishang couldn't sustain much. These non-shock cavalry should be more than enough to bully the cavalry of the Yue State and the Chu State.

This is also the influence of ordinary people under the background of the southward shift of the entire strategic center of gravity of the Mo family.

The fate of human beings must certainly depend on self-struggle, but we must also consider the course of history.

He has a temperament, likes to be in the limelight, has excellent equestrian skills, and is ruthless, and he has the right to decide when it comes to border forts and patrols.

If he had been in Sishang, the few major battles fought by the Sishang Yishi were all decisive battles on their own initiative after the strategic march formed an opportunity, and it was the artillery and infantry who sang the main force. There were no small-scale battles in siege warfare, siege warfare, and confrontation field warfare, and the task of the company-level cadres was to organize camping, training, and listen to the orders of the brigade commander.

So he may be an obedient company commander, but he will not be a company commander who can seize the fighter plane and make a feat.

However, in Takayanagi, it was only effective when the Mo family had just been operated; Sidefort sorties for skirmishes; caravan Hu people patrol; Fight with an irregular group of border people who are good at controlling horses and a group of tribes with stones and bones; Leading patrols around the border, he stood out.

Now that Gao Yanagi's strategic layout has changed, he has already made a name for himself, and he has to be transferred to Sishang to continue his studies.

Soon, the infantry knight company where Shu was captured was incorporated into a newly formed infantry knight brigade, and the brigade commander was a brigade representative of the original Sishang.

Most of the people who had been specially conscripted to interfere with the Zhao Succession War were reinstated and returned home, and a new round of conscription would begin after the autumn harvest, and a large number of young men who had been newly forced to serve would be incorporated into the new Infantry Knights Brigade.

The handover between him and the new company commander is to familiarize himself with the personnel and teach him skills such as camping, counting, and drilling.

As for the skills of finding the Hu tribe according to sheep dung, water sources, horse manure heaps, etc., there is no need for him to teach them, and the few informal border fort patrol cavalry teams left are some masters of the Hu people.

After being busy for more than half a month, Takayanagi also snowed and had a break.

Before marriage, he and Xing'er finally had a rare opportunity to meet, although the body was uncomfortable, but one was that the organization department had an order, and the discipline of the Mo family was a rule that Mo Zhai had since he founded the Mo family; Second, it's too cold, and there's really nowhere to go.

The two of them naturally held hands and ate a meal of sour soup noodles on the street, which is also a normal thing in Gao Yanagi, and even the Mo family encouraged that when they were not allowed to walk at all, they had to keep a certain distance from the men in front of them.

When I was in the market and wanted to buy a few persimmon cakes, I heard a woman's voice shouting behind me: "Brother! Younger brother! ”

Xing'er already knew that there was a person in the family of the captive Mi, and she also knew that there was a sister with a strange name called Junzi, so she hurriedly got up, tidied up the clothes on her body, and thought to herself what to call herself.

It doesn't matter if she looks up, Xing'er can't help but say in her heart: "Oops......"

In the distance was a woman, sitting sideways on a horse, with a large braid hanging down, evidently unwashed for many days, and oily and gray.

He wore a thick cotton jacket of gray color, and instead of a skirt, he wore a pair of thick cotton trousers with two sheepskin knee pads on his knees.

On his feet he wore a pair of sheepskin boots, large and wide.

The saddle on the side of the horse's back was bulging, and behind him was a baggage, under which was a short firecracker, and behind it was a standard cotton cloth coat, which was originally white, but now it was also gray.

The face is not white, it is obvious that it has been exposed outside all the year round, the facial features are fine, a pair of eyes are the same as the few Sishang girls that Xing'er has seen, there is an indescribable feeling.

The captive put down the persimmon cake and hurriedly ran over with the apricot, but before the apricot could speak, the gentleman on horseback jumped down and said, "She is the apricot." Hello there. ”

tidied up his clothes a little, raised his right hand and pressed it on his left hand, bent his body slightly, raised his hand to his forehead, bowed his head slightly, and made a modified bow to the Mo family.

This is the lightest etiquette among the nine prostrations at this time, and it is also the common female etiquette within the Mo family.

Worship is a military salute, do not bend over, because wearing armor, almost every family in the place controlled by the Mo family serves, it is this etiquette and hand salute are the common way of meeting and saluting within the Mo family.

According to the old rules that existed at this time, women generally worshipped, and after a little improvement, it gradually spread.

The Mo family itself has a basin of "thrifty and wasteful etiquette", which has been deducted too much, and those messy kneeling etiquette have basically been canceled, mainly with the prosperity of industry and commerce in Sishang, those who start businesses do not want employees to spend time on various etiquette, it is better to let them do more work to earn more.

The hand-holding ceremony is the internal etiquette of the Mo family, and the Zhuxia itself has a hand-holding ceremony, and the Mo family opposes thick burials and those messy funeral rites, so the Mo family's internal handshake is called handshake, because ...... The handshake is a kind of clothing at the time of the thick burial at this time, and the thing that the dead put on the hand is called a handshake.

Worship is accompanied by the problem that both male and female students in the Si school are accepted, and after the improvement, it has basically become the etiquette for women to meet, and apricots are common in Takayanagi, and the heart said What do you say, I haven't saluted my sister yet. Hurriedly returned one.

Shu Prisoner smiled and took her sister's hand, and said, "Sister, there is a bath over there, why don't you go to wash it?" ”

The gentleman nodded and said, "But you have to wash it." You don't know, this way...... I'm going to put my things down and take a shower. You are waiting for me in the place where I first came to eat mutton. That's right......"

Turning back, he took out a brass compass from his saddlebag and said, "Where is there a coppersmith here?" You have this repaired for me by the coppersmith first, and I will use it again at night. ”

After the captive was taken over, the gentleman left in a hurry, and Xing'er secretly stuck out her tongue, thinking that this sister was weird.

She has seen the compass, the Mo family takes Yu as the holy, and the image of Dayu has always been the left criterion and the right rule, which is not unusual.

But a compass made of brass is rare.

The color of brass is good-looking, but because the boiling point of zinc is lower than the temperature of the reduction reaction, the production of brass is only controlled by the Mo family, and the Lingyang family has no semicolon.

"That's what my sister learned. This thing is like our musket and horseshoe nail, and we have to carry it with us. ”

After a little explanation, he added, "My sister is fine. My family is fine...... Sishang is also very good. Although it is far away from home, but when the paradise is built one day, it will definitely build a wide road from Sishang to Takayanagi, and when the time comes, I want to come back and see, and I will get in the carriage without bumps, and it will be there in a month. At that time, there will be post stations and shops on the roadside every other section......"

He used his fantasy of the future paradise to describe the future that does not seem to be far away, and he also hopes that Xing'er can feel at ease and not be sad because of being separated from home.

After all, the wedding date is near, winter is over soon, and spring is not far away, and then we will go back to Si.
