After listening to Yu Chao's means of cleaning up Li Xiaoya, Huo Guang couldn't help frowning: "This Yu Chao is too disregarding the overall situation, but I remember that the kitten told Yu Chao that he wanted to help Li Xiaoya set up the shelves of the Wind Camp, these five hundred soldiers, four captains, are too few." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoI'm afraid that it will be difficult for the Blastwind Battalion to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time. ”

Qin Feng was a little unimpressed.

"Brother Huo, although you have been a secretary of the military department for a few years, you still don't know much about it. Although Yu Chao is a little stingy, it is also reasonable, the wind chasing camp was established by him, and his feelings are not ordinary, if he wants to divide half of it, it is natural to feel distressed and have a stomachache. It is also forgivable to use a little trick. If it were me, I would do the same. In the big picture, it is understandable for Yu Chao to do this, Li Xiaoya has nothing to fight in a short period of time, and the most thing is probably to suppress bandits and quell chaos, and this process is also the best time for Li Xiaoya to prepare for the establishment of the Wind Camp, in this kind of war with little intensity, it is still very beneficial to the growth of the Wind Camp. With five hundred cavalry as the core, it's about the same. At that time, the Wind Chasing Battalion was formed in two years, and in the third year, it pulled out a strong combat unit. Now there is no shortage of war horses in the Swift Wind Battalion, but there is only a shortage of people, but now in the three counties of Yiyang, the most important thing is people, it depends on how Li Xiaoya operates. If he has the right means and a clever brain, in two to three years, he should be able to build a cavalry unit that is no worse than the Chasing Wind Battalion. ”

Ma Xiangnan on the side, "Your Majesty is right, but I still have a little immature idea, I think ah, a senior general, it is not suitable to lead a force for a long time, because after a long time, it is very easy for soldiers to only know this general but not know that there is a court, there is an emperor, it is easy to let this army actually become the general's private army, which is very inappropriate for the stability of the court and the security of the country." If nothing else, take Chu as an example, Cheng Wuben has been running the Eastern Frontier Army for more than 20 years, so that the Eastern Frontier Army only knows Cheng Wuben, and later Cheng Wuben resigned, the Eastern Frontier Army was shaken, and its combat effectiveness decreased a lot. And at that time, the Western Army was standing on the left, why wasn't this the case? ”

"That's true." Qin Feng nodded: "I was in the Western Army at the time, so I only recognized Zuo Shuai, as for the emperor, for me, it was too far away." ”

"Your Majesty, take precautions and know that this situation cannot occur in the Ming Dynasty." Ma Xiangnan said solemnly.

"I understand what Ma Gong means. However, the generals of each battalion cannot be changed at will. The combat style of each battalion has a close relationship with the generals who lead them, and the battalion is the most basic combat unit of our Ming Dynasty, and in order to avoid this situation, I plan to let these battalions regularly adjust their defense in the next time, from east to west, or to the south, to the north, and not let them serve under the command of a general, so that the phenomenon of them holding together can be prevented. Second, the generals in charge of the army will also change their theater of operations after a certain period of time. "Qin Feng said.

"It's a way." Ma Xiangnan smiled: "It seems that I am worried in vain, Your Majesty has already made a plan in his heart." ”

Qin Feng smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, now the three generals who lead the army, Wu Ling is ruthless, ruthless to the enemy, use him to deal with the Qi people, it is natural, Chen Zhihua is talented, he has been resisting the Qin State with his father for many years, and he is more familiar with the situation of the Qin State than everyone else, these two people are enough to take on the position of the general in terms of ability, but in my opinion, the more important position of the general in the Central Theater, the wild dog is not enough, right? The Central Theater of Operations, this is where the center of the country is located! Huo Guangdao.

Qin Feng smiled and said nothing, Ma Xiangnan also smiled, and after a while, Ma Xiangnan smiled and said to Huo Guang: "Brother Huo, you are not the secretary of the military department, and it is a correct choice to concentrate on martial arts." ”

"What does this have to do with me concentrating on martial arts and not being an official?" Huo Guang was a little annoyed.

"Because you, you're really not fit to be an official." Ma Xiangnan smiled and said: "It is precisely because the Central Theater is the center of the country, the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty are also deployed in the Central Theater, the Miner Battalion, the Blue Wolf Battalion, the Ruijin Battalion, and the Agni Death Battalion, which is the backbone of our Ming Dynasty, and its status is equivalent to the dragon inlay of the Qi State, the Fire Phoenix of the Chu State, and the Thunder of the Qin State, so the general of this war zone is not the ability, but loyalty, so that His Majesty can rest assured that the command of the troops will be handed over to him." When it really came time to fight, the actual command of this unit was actually in the hands of His Majesty. ”

Huo Guang was stunned for a long time before he nodded in understanding.

Unconsciously, the carriage had been running much more smoothly, and Grandpa Le on the side saw that the atmosphere in the car suddenly became a little subtle, and he broke the somewhat embarrassing situation with a voice.

"Your Majesty, I've already gone out of Mengshan, I've been walking for half a day, and it's time to eat, why don't you take a break, let the soldiers bury the pot to cook, and let the war horses rest for a while!"

"Okay, now that I've been out of Mengshan, I also want to see what our Ma Gong has achieved during this time." Qin Feng nodded.

"Your Majesty, our Changyang County can withstand His Majesty's inspection at any time." Ma Xiangnan opened the car door with a smile and jumped down as soon as possible.

The order was passed on, and the accompanying fire death battalion immediately began to camp, and a moment ago, the scouts in front and behind had already received orders, and the Chinese army began to set up defenses, and a clearing next to the road became a well-defended camp in the blink of an eye.

Different from the ordinary troops who used local materials when they camped, the horse team of the death camp carried a lot of carriages, and the fences and other defensive equipment used in the camp were all made of iron, and the sledgehammer was wielded, and it was built in a very short time.

Qin Feng, as a martial arts master, actually doesn't need such a defense, but this is the most basic combat ability of an army, the Agni Death Battalion is not a simple royal guard, for the Ming Kingdom, which is short of troops, they are a backbone that is ready to go to the battlefield at any time, and the conventional tactical means in these armies must also be mastered by them.

There was a strong smell of fireworks in the air, and in the fields on both sides, there were no more green crops, and the golden crop stalks were spread in the ground, and the people who cultivated them set them on fire, and with the bursts of smoke, they burned, and after the fire was extinguished, the land was covered with gray-black embers.

In some places, there are old farmers with tillage tools, ploughing the land in the pit of oxen and buffaloes, burying the cooled embers under the soil layer.

"Your Majesty, after these harvested crops have been burned, they will be the best fertilizer for the coming year, and now they are only shallow ploughing, burying them under the soil to rot and ferment, and when they are sown in the spring of next year, they will be deeply cultivated again, and the land will be as fertile as ever." Ma Xiangnan introduced with great interest.

"I'm afraid this alone won't work, right?" Qin Feng was interested in the authentic language.

"Of course, of course." Ma Xiangnan nodded again and again: "How can Your Majesty still know so much about these agricultural matters, this is just one of the means, there are other methods of manure, the most important thing is to manure the manure of the animals and the collected rotten leaves." ”

Qin Feng smiled proudly: "Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?" In the early years, when I was stationed in Anyang City, I saw the people there manure and farming, Anyang, which is also the most important grain producing area of Chu in the west, otherwise why would Qin State go there to rob with all his heart! ”

"When this period of busyness is over, it can be regarded as a real agricultural slack period, and at that time, the old minister will have to mobilize all the people of Changyang County to build houses." Ma Xiangnan said: "It is estimated that when the winter comes, there will be a large number of displaced people from the Qin State from Kaiping, and without a house, they will not be able to survive the winter." We need to prepare houses and food, so that these displaced people can experience the warmth of our Ming Dynasty for the first time, and then live in peace and create wealth for our Ming Dynasty. ”

"That's probably a lot of money!" Qin Feng Dao.

"It's a lot. I borrowed 1 million taels of silver from Taiping Bank. He also borrowed 500,000 taels of silver from Changlong. "Horse to the south.

"Su Can is it so easy to lend you?" Qin Feng said with a smile: "Changyang is a poor county. Isn't he afraid that you can't afford to pay it back? ”

"Although Changyang is poor, it is also under the rule of the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty's people." Ma Xiangnan said: "The old minister uses the financial income of Changyang County in the next five years as a guarantee, plus the old face of the old minister, haha, Su Can is still quite knowledgeable, and the interest is very low." As for Changlong, they came to the door by themselves. Anyway, I'm short of money, and someone takes the initiative to send you money, so it's naturally hopeful. ”

"Changlong took a fancy to you using Changyang's wealth as a guarantee, this is a sure deal, if you really can't afford it, they will go to the court to ask for it." Qin Feng said with a smile: "Changlong's family is very discerning. ”

"How can you not afford it?" Ma Xiangnan disdainfully, "Your Majesty, although Changyang is not food-based, but now Changyang fruit has made a name for itself in Daming, fresh fruit, preserved fruit, that is the guarantee of quality, fruit brewing is marketing in Daming, drug planting has achieved initial results, the medicine workshop has become the drug base of Daming, the annual financial income is stable, now I am short of people, there are a lot of fields abandoned, there are few men, many women and children, it is hard to grow grain, women and children are difficult to undertake a lot of work, and when Changyang County has enough people, you see, I don't have to buy food from outside, and at that time, I want to see Fang Dazhi's face. ”

"It seems that you have a deep grudge against the other party!" Qin Feng laughed: "Isn't it just a road?" ”

"Now I still have to import grain from Shayang, I have to look at his face, at most two years, I Changyang will be self-sufficient, Your Majesty, Changyang and Baoqing Port!" Ma Xiangnan smiled and Mimi said. "This is a trump card, now the minister is planning a big thing, if it succeeds, Changyang will definitely soar into the sky."
