At the beginning of the morning, on a wilderness outside Changsha City, nearly 10,000 cavalry were already practicing cavalry fighting, but they saw iron hooves like thunder, and the dust was out of the world. There were many wooden stakes in the open space, and all the cavalry took turns to practice one action, that is, chopping.

It may seem like a very simple move, but for a cavalryman running at high speed, it is definitely not a simple move.

According to Newton's third law: the action of forces is reciprocal.

When the cavalry charges at full speed, the speed can reach more than 50 kilometers per hour, and this momentum is very large, so its reaction force is also very large.

When you charge, you must grasp the timing, angle, strength, etc., otherwise the huge reaction force will make you unable to hold the weapon; If the weapon gets stuck, it may even tear itself off the warhorse.

Therefore, there are usually no fancy movements when riding in battle, and the emphasis is on being fast, accurate, and ruthless, and grasping the timing well, and killing with a knife. And the most important thing is the timing of the knife.

The knife is slow, and the enemy can't hit the vital point.

The knife came out early, and it was no different from looking for death.

Unless you're sure you can cut the enemy in two, you'll have no choice but to abandon the knife with a huge counter-force, so it's usually a quick horizontal slash when you're staggered with the enemy, and then drag the weapon away from the enemy's body in a way that drags the knife.

In order to be able to successfully withdraw the weapon, the force must also be mastered, the force is too small, and it may not be able to inflict fatal damage on the enemy; The force is too great, and the saber gets stuck too deep into the enemy's body, and it may not be possible to pull the knife out smoothly.

Cavalry is different from infantry, there is absolutely no chance to draw you twice, and if you can't draw it once, you will only have to wait for others to cut it with your bare hands.

As for those who play the eighteen kinds of martial arts on horseback, it is pure, unless the speed of the horse is reduced, or even stopped, this is possible.

Qin Mu fought Jiangxi. Swept across Huguang, captured more than 10,000 war horses before and after, and now he recruited young and strong people who knew how to ride, forming a cavalry with a strength of 10,000 people. Now, in addition to the art of riding a horse, he is practicing the same action with a stake every day: chopping.

Qin Mu came out early in the morning to train with the soldiers, sweating profusely as if he had been scooped up from the water, and now he was riddled with everything, but this cavalry was the top priority, so no matter how busy Qin Mu was, he would still insist on coming to train with the soldiers in the morning.

Add to that his impressive track record. It was easy to win the support of the soldiers, and he was able to quickly establish high prestige in this army.

Xu Yongshun followed behind Qin Mu, his eyes lit up, and he kept clamoring: "Brother Qin has trained the army, if you continue to practice like this, it won't take long to train an elite division, and the younger brother can see the flag swaying, really." The heart flag is swaying. Big brother, anyway, the little brother said that he wouldn't leave, if Brother Qin didn't look down on the little brother, he wouldn't let the little brother listen to the order at the tent gate. How about letting the little brother come to the army as a pawn, Brother Qin"

"Little grandfather, you don't come to me rarely, the king of Zhongshan is a famous general who is rare to see in the ages. The little grandfather has been adhering to the family education since he was a child, and he is a young talent, so I am afraid that this little trick that can't be put on the table is not enough to make the little grandfather smile, right? ”

"Brother Qin. This is a bad statement, there are talents from generation to generation, and a generation of new people replaces old people. The younger brother's ancestors are indeed alas, don't mention it, after all, the glory of the ancestors has become a thing of the past, the so-called Jiangmen, since ancient times, has not seen three generations, the younger brother is the tenth generation, where is there any family learning to pass down. Brother Qin, don't shirk it, just accept the little brother, from now on, the little brother will definitely saddle the horse before and after, let the big brother drive, but ask the eldest brother to guide the little brother and be satisfied. ”

Xu Yongshun used the sticky word trick, as soon as Qin Mu came out, he would stick to Qin Mu's side, and he couldn't shake it off, which made Qin Mu very annoying, but this guy has a benefit, annoyance is annoying, but he has a good grasp of proportion, and it won't make you really feel disgusted.

And the sycophant kung fu is very good, he always loses no time in making a move, Qin Mu was so annoyed by him that he had to say: "The art of war or something, I don't have it here, I won a few battles by luck, it's not how clever I am, it's that the enemy is too sloppy, so if the little grandfather wants to learn the art of war, you really found the wrong person, but"

"Brother Qin, don't call me little grandpa, okay?"

"What's that called?"

"What's your name, big brother, don't call me little grandpa anyway, when you call it like that, it's clear that you are rejecting people thousands of miles away."

"Okay, then let's call you Xiaoshunzi."

"This big brother, it's too much to call it that"

"Then I'll continue to call the little grandfather."

"Don't don't, Xiao Shunzi is Xiao Shunzi, big brother, you agree with the little brother to stay, right?"

"My feet are on you, and I don't care where you like to run."

"Okay, with the words of the eldest brother, the younger brother will rest assured, and the eldest brother's horse will be led by the younger brother in the future." Xu Yongshun said that he was really a fart and ran to Qin Mu's horse, snatched his reins, and wanted to help him lead the horse back to the city, making Qin Mu cry and laugh.

"Okay, okay, don't come to this set, let you hold you like this, how long will it take to return to the ya?" Qin Mu snatched the reins, took Li Shi and Niu Wanshan and a team of personal guards, and left.

Xu Yongshun hurriedly jumped on his war horse, and shouted while chasing: "Big brother, you are waiting for me, what the hell is this place, the dust is so big"

As soon as Qin Mu entered the governor's yamen, he saw Liu Boquan waiting, and he didn't care about Qin Mu's sweat, and followed him as he walked inside: "My lord, more than 400 shipbuilding craftsmen have been recruited, but there are not many who can really build warships, and it is difficult to find craftsmen in this area in Huguang at present. ”

"Then send people to Nanjing, Wenzhou, and Fujian to find them, no matter what method is used, to dig people up to the officials as soon as possible."

"My lord, my subordinates have already sent people, but this time and again, it must be delayed a lot, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete the shipbuilding task according to the time set by the adults."

"Well, you just hold on."

"Thank you, sir."

As soon as Liu Boquan left, it was Shao Hua, who was in charge of military law, to follow up and say, "My lord, the list of rewards and punishments for the first battle of Liuyang has been prepared, please look at it." ”

"Give it to Yang Shen first, and the official will look back."

The military, politics and people's livelihood of the entire Huguang are now decided by Qin Mu, and in order to firmly control the army, he has to lead the soldiers to train together every day, which can be said to be too busy to touch the ground, fortunately, Liu Boquan, Shao Hua, Zhuge Min and others are very talented, and they have shared many specific affairs for him;

In particular, Zhuge Min, Li Yuan, and He Liang are actually equivalent to Qin Mu's cabinet assistants, they are not in charge of specific affairs, but after all the military and political affairs of Huguang are reported, most of them will first draw up a handling plan by the three people, and then hand it over to Qin Mu for review and detention, and then promulgate it.

And Yang Shen is equivalent to Qin Mu's confidential secretary, all the documents are kept by him, and he prioritizes so that Qin Mu can deal with it more organized, and he also undertakes a very important task, drafting various orders for Qin Mu, similar to the Zhongshu Sheren who drafts the emperor's holy decrees.

With the assistance of these people, although Huguang has a lot of affairs to be rebuilt, Qin Mu can finally handle it in an orderly manner.

Different from the busyness of the front office, the back office is always quiet, as soon as he steps into the back office, Qin Mu can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at least he can get rid of the busy military and political affairs temporarily.

Dong Xiaowan was leaning on the railing of the cloister, staring at the white clouds outside the high wall, wearing a moonflower skirt outlining an incomparably beautiful figure, gently swayed by the autumn wind, looking outstanding and light.

Suddenly, Qin Mu strode in, his clothes were not only soaked with sweat, but also stained with mottled mud and dust, looking like a coolie carrying a bag on the dock. It was the first time she had seen such a civil official, and she inevitably showed a look of surprise.

"You, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and find a set of clean clothes for the officer, you, have you put the water away?"

Qin Mu unceremoniously pointed at Dong Xiaowan and asked her to prepare her clothes, and then asked the little girl ring opposite, and after receiving the reply, the water had been placed, and she walked straight to the bathroom.

Dong Xiaowan didn't expect him to call himself like a little girl, and he was a little overwhelmed. She still knew where Qin Mu's change of clothes were, because she slept in Qin Mu's bedroom last night.

She hesitated for a moment, as if she had accepted her fate, sighed, went back to the bedroom and took a set of clean clothes for Qin Mu, and then moved to the bathroom step by step
