"That's why the king wants you to build up a cavalry, and the best way to deal with them, at least for now, is cavalry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Historically, cavalry was not eliminated until the emergence of mechanized corps, so in Xiao Ming's view, the army still needs to focus on building cavalry for a long time.

Lu Fei nodded, no matter how good the infantry battle formation is, it can only be passively defended, while the cavalry is an offensive force, a necessary type of force for flexible mobility, surprise attack, and pursuit, he said: "If this is the case, this thousand war horses are still a little less. ”

"I understand that the king is going to smuggle horses from the steppe and try to build up a qualified cavalry." Xiao Ming frowned.

Even in the age of firearms, the cavalry was irreplaceable.

"Smuggling?" Lu Fei was stunned for a moment, and then he said: "Your Highness, doesn't you know that the barbarians are now strictly forbidden for the grassland tribe to sell war horses to the Great Yu Kingdom?" ”

"Of course I know, otherwise it wouldn't be called smuggling, but trade." Xiao Ming said.

Lu Fei touched the back of his head, then looked solemn, and said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, the barbarians suddenly tightened the trading of war horses, this is not good news, every time this has happened in the past, it means that the barbarians have to use troops against the Great Yu State." ”

"This is also what I'm worried about, so this time even if it is a high price, I am ready to buy a batch of war horses to come back." Xiao Ming said: "Moreover, the walls of Cangzhou City should also be overhauled, and when these slaves donated by merchants come over, I will prepare them to rebuild Cangzhou City and build Cangzhou City into a fortress that barbarians cannot overcome." ”

Lu Fei was excited, "Is Your Highness going to use cement this time?" ”

Xiao Ming nodded, "That's right, the fragile walls of Cangzhou City should also be reinforced." ”

After saying this, Xiao Ming told Lu Fei about the new armies in other states, which are currently led by the backbone of the Qingzhou army, and did not involve the Hao people.

Moreover, there is a long history in place in every army, responsible for the ideological work of the army.

When it came to the long history in the army, Lu Fei looked bitter, "Your Highness, these long histories open their mouths to insist on loyalty to His Highness, shut up and ask the army to adhere to His Highness's leadership, and what are the eight honors and eight shames, eight disciplines, and seven points of attention, which is really enough." ”

"What? Is there a problem with the army's allegiance to this king?" Xiao Ming glanced at Lu Fei, and said in his heart, if you kid have two hearts, you will still have to kill you.

Lu Feideng's forehead was sweating, he was just straightforward, and he didn't like the appearance of these literati mothers-in-law, but he didn't expect to say the wrong thing, and when he reacted, he immediately bowed down and said: "Your Highness, don't blame, the last general is a big mouth, and he is used to talking nonsense." ”

"It's pretty much the same, I don't care if you usually come here, and the king who wants to equip himself will try his best to satisfy you, but on a matter of principle, you have to be sober." As soon as Xiao Ming's words came out, it immediately turned into a set of training long histories.

Those recruited Changshi Xiao Ming naturally did not let them go to the post easily, but let them go to the post after training, and they had to pass the exam before going to the post.

The content of this examination is the guiding ideology of these armies, and his purpose is to control the army, in this troubled era, in this era, the army is easily led astray by the generals, and the control can only be strengthened through this method.

Otherwise, a rebellion in this state, a mutiny in that state would be enough for him to drink a pot.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the last general will not dare even if he has ten guts." Lu Fei said.

Xiao Ming nodded, "I know you must be very annoying Changshi, but you should not see it, the military Changshi will not interfere with you." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Lu Fei wiped his cold sweat, and when he saw that Xiao Ming was leaving, he personally sent Xiao Ming outside the barracks.

Watching Xiao Ming leave, Lu Fei breathed a sigh of relief, in his opinion, the current King of Qi is becoming more and more evil, but he has to admit that his trick is powerful.

In the past, many soldiers didn't know who the king of Qi was, but now this long history remains in the army, and the king of Qi is in their ears almost every day.

In his opinion, this is not a bad thing, so that the military of the six states can be stabilized, and there will be no situation where the army of the wealthy clan of Cangzhou City controls the city.

Here, Xiao Ming left the barracks and went to the Bowen College, where the newspaper Fan Zeng is now in charge, responsible for collecting information every day and publishing a new round of newspapers the next day.

Now that the paper mill and printing imitation have moved into the workshop area, Fan Zeng only needs to send someone to contact directly.

How to operate specifically, Xiao Ming has taught Fan Zeng, he doesn't have to do this little thing himself, he just needs to review the manuscript every day.

After all, with the increase of various affairs, his daily government affairs have also increased.

Industry, commerce, and agriculture must be managed, and we must be serious about engaging in industry and farming.

Thinking all the way, Xiao Ming arrived at Bowen College, and he came here not to find Fan Zeng, but to teach daily.

In his free time, he spends most of his free time at the Bowen Academy.

The training of Changshi, the shipbuilding affairs of Zhang Liang and others, the technical problems of Chen Qi's equipment department, and the chemical knowledge of Lutong's group of people.

This time he came for a chemical experiment, and after the glass was produced, he asked the workshop to make him a batch of chemical instruments, which are now in the laboratory.

Nowadays, Lu Tong and others have basically no problem with their basic chemistry knowledge, they are very familiar with the periodic table or something, and they are also familiar with chemical formulas and the like.

Theoretically, there is, but in practice, we can count on these chemical instruments to make it happen.

When they arrived at the laboratory, Lu Tong and more than 200 other people were waiting in the laboratory, and when they saw Xiao Ming coming over, they respectfully called out, "Your Highness." ”

The chemistry lab is almost in a modern layout, with desks for five people with experimental instruments on them.

Xiao Ming stood on it and also had his own set of instruments.

This time Xiao Ming wants to teach them the method of preparing sulfuric acid, three acids and two alkalis have always been the basic chemical industry that Xiao Ming wants to achieve, three acids encapsulate nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and the two alkalis are sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate respectively.

Considering the existing conditions of this era, he felt that the easiest thing to achieve was to produce sulfuric acid.

Because in ancient times, there was a saying that alum oil, and this alum oil is sulfuric acid, which needs alum, water, and high temperature to prepare.

In the information of the scientific crystal, there are some alum ores distributed on his fiefdom, that is, modern ferrous sulfate, which are green in color, and these alum ores are often companion ores of iron ore.

When Qian Dafu was mining iron ore, he found these green alums, so Xiao Ming felt that these green alum could not be wasted, so it was better to use them to prepare sulfuric acid.

After all, sulfuric acid has a wide range in the industry, one of which is pickling and rust removal, which can prolong the life of machinery, and sulfuric acid is a solvent for purifying metals.

With sulfuric acid, he can purify some rare metals and lay the foundation for the alloy.
