Chapter 960
"Sanlang, you have to draw more war horses and armor and weapons for me, especially bows, crossbows and arrows, which consumes a lot of money." Cheng Chumo saw that Qin Lang did not support the gathering of troops to fight a large war, and he did not bother me.
Turning around, he wanted money, food and weapons.
"I can give you these, but there are not many armors. I can give you the new iron helmets made by the Foshan Military Equipment Square in Guangzhou. I can give you priority. You have five thousand soldiers in the Navy now, 10,000 cities, and close to them. Add 6,000 new wolf barracks. I will directly pull you 20,000 new iron helmets and hand them over to the navy who saw the tiger to transport them in batches."
Don’t think about Mingguang armor, only equip the officers. The climate in Lingnan is hot, and the mountainous terrain on Tonghai is not suitable for large formations. The most important thing is that the enemy is a group of southern barbarians, and their armor defenses are even worse.
Basically, it's armorless.
Therefore, Qin Lang's military management ideas were to connect with the navy, including other Lingnan troops, and did not need to have too good armor defense. He even prepared 60% of the soldiers without iron armor and only equipped with a new type of iron cloth.
That is, the lightweight cotton armor is light and comfortable, and has a certain defense ability.
The remaining 40% of the soldiers, about 10% equipped with traditional iron armor, one hundred and 20% equipped with leather armor, and the remaining 20% equipped with well-equipped cotton armor.
As for cavalry, Qin Lang also opposed the establishment of too many cavalry in Lingnan, especially cavalry with northern war horses. He planned to use horses from Lingnan, Yunnan, Yunnan, or horses from western Sichuan. These horses were shorter, but had better endurance, and were especially suitable for mountain biking.
After all, in places like Lingnan and jungle and mountainous areas, large-scale cavalry charge tactics do not have much chance to be used. Cavalry are more responsible for tasks such as encirclement, tactic interspersion, and even attacking food channels, killing and intercepting enemy scouts, and guarding and patroling.
When fighting, it is often the case, and the like is the pursuit of defeated soldiers, so there is no need to transport war horses from the north to establish large cavalry units. The horses in the north may not adapt to the climate here, nor to the terrain here.
Mountain light cavalry is enough, and there is no need to be too many.
"One thousand necklaces of bright light armor, two thousand cowhide armor, and another five thousand cotton armor. You need the exquisite one, not the light one, and that thing has a good defense." Lao Cheng spoke up very unceremoniously.
"Impossible. The Administration is not just Tonghai Army. I have the 12th Army under my command. This time, the 12th Army in Lingnan has a total of 60,000, and there are still 120,000 near the city, not to mention the regiment training and county security guards still have to be equipped with some equipment."
"The court doesn't care about us. The military weapon supervisor of Weiwei Temple can give us weapons, but they have to buy them for real money and can't write IOUs. I can't just spend my time with you."
One asks for a price all over the place, and the other pays it back.
"I'll give you eight hundred sets of Mingguang armor. This thing is actually not very useful in Lingnan, especially when the rainy season comes. I'll give you another thousand iron chain mail. This thing is light and sturdy, suitable for fighting in jungle and mountain."
"Two thousand sets of cotton armor."
"It's just that much, it's useless to have more, and it's still necessary to deliver it in batches."
"As for the crossbow, I can pull you more, but you have to remember to keep it well. But you can't give you good things to you at that time. You can let the barbarian take it away and use it to attack us."
Cheng Chumo thought about more points, and Qin Lang waved his hand, "I'm not a vegetable market, don't bargain for me. That's all, just want it, just don't want it."
"I want it!"
"Wait a minute, I'm not going to take this thing for nothing. I have to exchange it for something. The bows, crossbows, armor, arrows I give you will be converted into money. At that time, you can exchange the heads of the barbarians, or directly exchange them for barbarian prisoners. Of course, you can exchange any other livestock, cattle, sheep, food, and fur."
Cheng Chumo's old face wrinkled.
"Sanlang, why are you doing this? Who are we fighting for? Do we still have to buy it with money?"
"I don't want you for nothing. I just want you to understand that these things are hard-won. Of course, one code will be converted into one code. You will certainly have other rewards for killing enemies and making contributions."
Qin Lang said to Gao Feng and Gao Fu, the second supervisor, "I would like to ask the two supervisors to send several subordinates to go back to Tonghai with the governor Cheng to supervise the military."
Although Tonghai Mansion is fighting every day, it is neither short of food nor soldiers, so Qin Lang is not too worried. Cheng Chumo wants to do a big ticket, but Qin Lang is determined not to allow it.
The risk of fighting a big battle is too high, especially when crossing the Red River and running to the south bank, where there are almost all primitive jungles, with high mountains and dense forests, high risks, and inconvenient food and grass transportation.
If I run to Jiangnan to fight, my hometown in Tonghai will be stolen, it will be even more unpaid.
For Qin Lang, the barbarians from Jiangnan crossed the river and could not do anything big. They did not have the ability to attack cities and villages to fight tough battles, so they could not become a small fight. The most important thing to defend against in the north is the Cuan family and Wuman in the north.
These people's strength is far from comparable to those of Heman from the south, so they have to be careful.
Although Qin Lang has obtained a special order, Lingnan has expanded to 60,000 troops and 120,000 barbarian soldiers, but on such a vast land, there are actually very few people who have spread out.
If the troops are brought together, there will be no soldiers available in other places. For the uneasy situation caused by the transformation of land and the flow of Lingnan, if a place has a vacuum of guarding, there will definitely be a barbarian who will start to mess up again.
Not to mention, more than 100,000 local soldiers and more unity are actually a pile of unstable firewood. These young and strong men pulled out from the barbarians are under the various military towns of the Tang army, which is a trick to remove firewood from the bottom of a pot.
But once a big battle occurs, so many barbarians may become powder kegs.
Before he could completely tame these barbarians, Qin Lang was not willing to fight any big battle easily.
The idea of relying on one battle is not suitable for the current situation in Lingnan. What Lingnan needs now is deterrence and guarding, and slowing down.
Only when the entire tribe came as in the last time, was the time for a big war.
The two high-ranking military officers sat there, listening to Qin Lang's words about Cheng Chumo, the governor of Tonghai. The relationship between the two was undoubtedly very good, and Cheng Chumo almost obeyed Qin Lang.
"Please ask Secretary Liu Zhang to draft official documents for me."
Liu Rengui then wrote a resolution of Qin Lang on the spot. After Qin Lang read it, he directly picked up the pen and signed it with a seal, and then handed it over to the two military supervisors.
According to the system, the major resolutions of the headmaster Qin Lang actually require the consent of these two military supervisors, and the military order will be valid after the attached signing is signed.
Even when some military supervisors followed the army in the past, the military supervisors often overtook the chief generals and asked them to be informed everywhere.
Qin Lang's personal prestige was there, so he did not ask the two of them for instructions when he made the decision. He directly asked the secretary to issue an order and signed and stamped it to the two of them.
This is no longer a chance for the two to refute.
The eunuch Gao Fu happily picked up his pen and signed his name and stamped his seal without any hesitation.
Gao Jifu hesitated for a moment. He wanted to say that this was incompatible with the military supervision system, but when he thought about it, there was no need to bother with such a small matter. After all, Qin Lang's decision was not a major decision, so he still signed the signature and printed it.
"The sect commander, the stakeholder, the stakeholder, the stakeholder, the stakeholder!"
Qin Lang named it.
So the four civil servants in the breeze robe stood up and saluted with their hands.
These four are all newly established officials of Li Shimin for Lingnan. They are each responsible for a specific matter. The support envoy is responsible for the taxes of the Sanguang Jiufu in Lingnan. The field envoy is responsible for the military, civil, commercial and food, and the food in which he is stationed. The transport envoy is responsible for the transfer and dispatch of money, grain and materials in the entire Lingnan area.
The salt and iron envoy is responsible for the management of salt fields, iron ore and the management of the government and taxation income. Except for one-third of the income paid to the court, the remaining two-thirds are managed by the salt and iron envoy for military and civilian use.
After all, this is to integrate the Lingnan region, especially to ensure that Lingnan can really support the 12th Army and maintain combat effectiveness of logistics and food guarantees.
These four envoys were all deputy to Qin Lang, the strategic envoy, and they all obeyed orders to assist him and manage the supply of money and grain for him.
Qin Lang, just concentrate on managing the troops.
Local civil affairs, as well as various observation envoys, censors, Changping envoys, commanders, officials from the four departments are responsible, the Governor's Office and the State, and the Governor and the Governor.
But he always obeys the orders of the governor to command one person.
The various envoys set up by the Legislative Office allowed the Legislative Office to take charge of all the military, political and financial powers in Lingnan. Although the two military supervisors are independent of the outside world, they only use military supervisors and do not divide other powers.
Originally, Li Shimin even wanted to let Qin Lang, the governor, take charge of the land, transfer, and transfer the powers of salt and iron. Later, Wei Zheng firmly opposed it, believing that the power was too great and more powerful than the previous Daxing Tai Shangshu Ling, so he finally set up four other envoys.
Originally, Wei Zheng said that these four envoys should have yamen and not affiliated with the power, but Li Shimin said that this was unnecessary. If this is the case, why did he set up the power envoy? Will it be better if Lingnan and Sanguang are in charge of their own affairs?
What we need is to have a commander who can coordinate the overall situation and guard Lingnan, and he will be in hindering power everywhere. In this current situation, he will lose his due authority and role.
Qin Lang was appointed as the governor of Lingnan, and was also the governor of the two major governors of Guangzhou and Zhennan. He was also appointed as the governor of Wu'an Prefecture for generations. In addition, his full name was the interview and handling envoy of the nine governments of the governor of Lingnan Jiedu. He was in control of military, administrative and supervisory power.
Especially the positions of Guangzhou Grand Governor, Zhennan Grand Governor, Guangzhou Governor and Jiaozhou Governor, this made it impossible for him to be undermined, and the most critical power was in his hands.
If the emperor wants to completely control Lingnan and tame Lingnan, he must completely delegate power to capable ministers. This is the grandeur of Li Shimin.
It is also required by the situation.
If the court had decided everywhere, the situation in Lingnan would not have changed at all.
"Everyone, I just came back from Chang'an and reiterate our mission again."
"Training and fighting is just a means, not an end."
"Our purpose is to let Lingnan completely naturalize the Tang Dynasty, let Lingnan be stable and prosperous from now on, let the Han and barbarians be together, and share the peace and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. All of them can solve the problem of food and clothing. Those who cultivate their farmland have their own fields, while those who live in their own houses are all pillars of the country. Please work with me to work together to open peace and make prosperity for Lingnan!"
