"What does it look like for a girl to scare people with a sword all day long?"

Feng Yong scolded her like a big brother, and then carefully took the dagger from her hand.

Zhang Xingyi made no other movements, but rolled his eyes twice, "Alang doesn't like women who dance with swords and guns?"

"Since... well, the way Si Niang is strategizing is much more likable than the way she is holding a knife."

Feng Yong coaxed, quietly throwing the dagger into the corner.

Zhang Xingyi pouted, "Liar!"

This guy is not willing to speak ill of my sister at this time.

But when I heard him praising me for strategizing, the joy in my heart couldn't help but fill my face.

"Why did I lie to you?" Feng Yong said sternly, "I need to take Zhang Yi with me on this expedition. Sanniang cannot be a director, and Amei is just a dull worker."

"At that time, you will not have the final say on the entire affairs of the Qiang Protector's Office? Especially those barbarians, you must pay more attention."

"I heard that the prime minister has begun to ask Yang Ju, the king of Baima Di, to gather the barbarians from Yinping in Wudu, select those who are good at riding and archery, and send them to the Longyou Governor's Mansion to prepare for the formation of the Yi Cong Cavalry Army."

"I estimate that within four or five years, at least most of the Han's cavalry will be composed of barbarians."

"Especially those barbarians under the jurisdiction of the Huqiang Xiaowei Mansion. We will have to select cavalry from among them in the future."

Raising a horse cannot be done in a day or two.

Although the Qin State relied on Longyou as a horse-producing area, it gained a superiority in riding and riding over the six eastern countries.

Especially after Emperor Guangwu's resurgence, all the counties in Hexi stopped breeding horse farms, and only Liuma Garden remained in Hanyang County (now the combined counties of Tianshui, Nan'an and Hanyang).

Therefore, raising horses in Longyou has been a tradition for hundreds of years.

But the growth of war horses can take up to three years at the earliest.

Fortunately, the Han Dynasty was adept at martial arts. In the Yongliang area, most people, both Han and Hu, could ride horses.

Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to train a qualified cavalryman from a complete novice within three or four years.

From here, it can be predicted that the Han cavalry in the next few years, whether they are men or horses, can only be drawn from Longyou, Wudu, and Yinping.

How to appease the people while transferring people is a test of governance methods.

For example, Emperor Xiaowu's methods were relatively rough.

After many battles in the early stage, the number of war horses in the country dropped sharply, and finally they had to be forcibly recruited from the private sector.

This is similar to the forced conscription of private cars in later generations. Anyone would jump in and yell at them.

So later successors began to adopt other methods.

For example, the government allows private citizens to raise official horses, and they are also female horses, and they agree to return them after three years. During these three years, the pony born by the female horse belongs to you.

If you raise ten government mares, you will have to pay back one more when you return them, which will be treated as interest.

Later, when the government needed horses, it would directly buy qualified war horses or transport horses from the private sector.

This policy continued until the chaos of the Later Han Dynasty.

Thanks to the foresight of the late emperors of the Han Dynasty, the implementation of this policy has resulted in the popularity of horse breeding among the Han people.

Although only based on the land of Longyou, the cavalry of the Han Dynasty and Cao Wei's cavalry are still far behind.

But I can't stand the big man and there's a human figure hanging around.

First, it ensured the grain output of the Han Dynasty, and then improved the financial income of the Han Dynasty.

Finally, it actually has a special charm aura, a wisdom-reducing aura and many other buffs for barbarians.

Coupled with the subversive improvements to the cavalry, horseshoes alone can reduce the loss of war horses by at least half.

After several battles, Emperor Xiaowu consumed hundreds of thousands of war horses accumulated over three generations in one go. The loss was so huge that it was shocking.

A large part of the reason here is that the hoofs of war horses are not protected, which leads to the hoofs of war horses being damaged due to various reasons in frequent and fierce battles.

It is most regrettable that a good war horse has to withdraw from the battlefield in its golden age because its hoofs are damaged prematurely.

As for the improved saddle and the addition of double-sided stirrups, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry has been increased by at least two to three times.

If quantity is insufficient, let quality make up for it. There is nothing wrong with that.

The guarantee of food, financial support, the following of the Hu people, plus technological improvements, etc.

As long as any of these conditions are lacking, the Han Dynasty will not be able to form an elite cavalry in the shortest possible time.

Therefore, the formation of the Han cavalry has now reached the final step and must not be taken lightly.

Zhang Xingyi nestled in Feng Yong's arms and listened to him explain these things in detail.

This was the first time she heard his vision and plan for Longyou's military affairs.

The more I listened, the more frightened I became. At the same time, while my heart was beating violently, a burst of joy could not stop oozing out.

What was surprising was this man's foresight. The title of Ghost King and Xiao Wenhe really did not unjustly accuse him.

Fortunately, he actually tried his best to plan for the big man.

If he tells his thoughts to his sister (the Queen), she will definitely value him more. By then, will there be less obstacles between him and himself?

It occurred to me that this man had such a lofty ideal that few others could match. He was considered a heroic figure in the eyes of the world, yet he was so considerate to his daughter's family in the backyard.

There may or may not be such a good man in the world, but she has only met one now.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xingyi felt that the heat that had subsided suddenly came back again, making her heart beat faster. She subconsciously grabbed the skirt of Feng Yong's chest.

"Siniang, it's getting late, you should go back."

Feng Yong persuaded in a low voice.

Zhang Xingyi twisted his body and murmured, unwilling to get up.

Feng Yong took a deep breath and picked her up...

Zhang Xingyi is not as tall as Guan Ji, nor is she as small and exquisite as Amei. When held in her arms, she is neither light nor heavy, just right.

Opening the door, Feng Yong carried her back to her room and put her on the couch under the light of the corridor.

Zhang Xingyi closed her eyes tightly. She felt that her face was about to be burned. Even Feng Yong could hear the thumping of her heartbeat clearly.

In the dim light outside, Feng Yong kissed her cheek gently...

Zhang Xingyi waited for a long time, but never waited for his next move. She couldn't help but quietly opened her eyes, just in time to see the last figure before the door was closed.

There was a soft "click" sound, and the room became completely dark.

Zhang Xingyi was so angry that he grabbed the pillow and threw it at the door!

Feng Yong outside the door turned around, pretending not to hear the sound inside.

At the same time, I repeatedly counted with my fingers, it was not enough, I had to wait some more.

I am a time-traveler with a conscience, he said in his heart, and he will stick to the bottom line unwaveringly.

Feng Yong, who kept his conscience, had a good sleep.

When I got up the next day, I didn't bother to look at Zhang Xingyi's stinky face. He had breakfast with Guan Ji and then asked Amei to go out of the city with him.

The military camp outside Pingxiang City is different from other places.

The fenced area far exceeds the scope required for a normal military camp.

In addition to the fact that the soldiers who protect the Qiang Xiaowei Mansion have to fight frequently in actual combat, this place is also responsible for the testing of new tactics and new weapons, so the area is naturally larger!

When the test site was once again on tight alert, the soldiers in the military camp knew that the guys from the engineering battalion were preparing to start again today.

It's just that the security at the testing site was a little tight this time.

Then someone saw several generals, escorted by personal guards, riding tall horses into the military camp, and then turned to the testing ground in another direction.

Although you can't see their faces clearly, some of those generals are wearing white robes, and some are wearing dark red cloaks. With generals in such attire, and with such formations, they are most likely commanding an army.

character.

"What new thing has come out of this engineering camp? It attracted so many generals?"

Someone muttered.

"Is that what you should know?" the leader of the team scolded, "Don't ask about secrets that you shouldn't ask, and don't read secrets that you shouldn't see! Have you forgotten the rules of confidentiality?"

"Yes! I was wrong!" The criticized soldier stood up with a snap.

A bamboo whistle sounded not far away.

"Okay, everyone, stand up and line up!" the commander ordered, "Continue training!"

Soon, the village chief who organized the training stood in the central open space holding a small flag and shook it a few times.

Ten Shi's soldiers, led by their respective commanders, began to form an array around the village commander.

The flag changes again, the formation changes again.

They need to keep the various changes in this formation in mind, and at the same time, each commander must remember the various passwords issued by the commander, and lead his men to the designated positions according to the passwords.

When they are all proficient in practice, they will then use the tun as a unit to form a larger formation such as qu and troops.
