212 True Heavy Cavalry
In the end, Long Batian followed his father and tens of thousands of Long family troops, protected the vassals and tribe members of the Long family, and marched eastward to join the Dayan Dynasty in Anlushan...
This is the result of discussion between Richard and the Long family. Yanqi must be recovered, but it doesn't matter whether the Long family is destroyed.
The Long family has been operating in Yanqi area for too long and has tens of thousands of armies in their hands. If the Long family wants to, they can bring out tens of thousands of young and strong people in the local area anytime and anywhere.
If the fight really starts, the Long family is in the defense of the city, and even if Richard wins, it will cost a lot.
Richard had long discovered that using Taoist soldiers to fight was purely a loss-making deal. It was not easy for the lucky coins obtained after each victory to supplement the loss of war, so the main force of the war still had to rely on the local population to consume it.
Taoist soldiers can be used as the core force that finalizes the truth, reducing the combat losses of Taoist soldiers.
Richard is planning to transform the Taoist soldiers into a pattern similar to the Mongolian army in the history of the earth.
During the war, it is divided into three levels. The auxiliary army is the vanguard in charge of the first round of fighting. Then the Han soldiers of the field army serve as the supervisor team. Seeing the auxiliary army killing deserters, the Taoist soldiers act as the supervisor team of the Han soldiers. When the situation is clear, it will be a final fatal blow to the enemy!
Therefore, whether it is the Han soldiers of the field army or the Seme veterans in the auxiliary army, it is a loss for Richard.
After continuous wars, the population lost a lot of people, among which the young and middle-aged people fell sharply. When the Western Regions were in contact with each other, he recruited a group of young and middle-aged people and slaughtered a village and town. Especially the tug-of-war between Richard and the Tufan people, many places were even turned into white.
Therefore, even if Richard wants to attract the cannon fodder, there are not many people left. What's more, Richard needs young and strong serfs to cultivate the land and produce food!
If Yanqi is recovered without fighting, it will naturally benefit Richard more than hesitate.
The most important thing is that he can turn on the King's authority in the system without loss!
The Yanqi area completed the handover in a very harmonious environment. Apart from the Long family's army and their families, the Long family did not take away the Semi people and ordinary Han people from Yanqi. However, many of the Han landlords and gentry in Yanqi left with the Long family.
It was Richard's series of combination punches in the Western Regions that made Yanqi's landlords and gentry feel sincerely afraid. At that time, the Yanqi area was under the control of the Long family, so the policies of the Western Regions were ineffective against the Yanqi's landlords and gentry class.
But the Long family left, and the landlords and gentry class power in the Yanqi area could not compete with Richard at all. If he did not want to be slaughtered by Richard as a fat sheep, he would naturally follow the Long family to leave and surrender to An Lushan's Dayan.
The landlord and gentry family who left the Long family took away their servants' guards, which was also a major reason why the landlord and gentry left.
It doesn't matter if the land property is not guaranteed, but Richard's deprivation of the landlords and gentry class is very fatal. Without the landlords and gentry class, there are fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered under the Ming Dynasty. Richard collects taxes on them as much as he wants...
Just keep a dime and get a mu, but even the tax revenue from increasing land production is obtained. Isn’t this the way out for the big landlord family?
However, after leaving Yanqi, the landlord and gentry class would lose all its land. The Yanqi gentry class did not all follow the footsteps of the Long family. They would rather hand over their own servants and bear high tax policies than give up their ancestral property and settle in other areas.
When Richard's army took over the Yanqi area, it immediately conducted land statistics on the local gentry class. This time, Richard was too lazy to cover up the fig leaf, and directly used the reason of "maintaining social stability" to force the armed forces of the gentry class to recruit the armed forces of various gentry classes and confiscate all armor and weapons!
All bows and crossbows are listed as contraband!
The enlisted gentry members only received symbolic financial compensation.
Richard did not allow their family members to enter the newly formed garrison army. Instead, the recruited servants were very supportive of Richard's government orders. The reason was that after they entered the garrison army in Yanqi area, they could receive military merits!
The land distributed was left by the Long family and the departed landlords and gentry class. A small part of them were sold to the government in order to avoid the high land tax.
In this way, the class of landlords and gentry in the Yanqi area collapsed instantly, and the local garrison corps companies did not need to reorganize and recruit. Those servants were reorganized and filled in with a group of officers appointed by the Central Committee to form an army.
In just one month, the entire Yanqi area became exactly the same as other parts of the Ming Dynasty!
After Richard completely controlled the Yanqi area, he received a system prompt.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the reputation mission to place Yanqi Army Town under his own rule, and increase the reputation level from 1 star to 14 star, opening a new level 6-level army - Liaodong Iron Cavalry.
Introduction to Liaodong Iron Cavalry: They all have the strength of a medium-grade flesh-level warrior, equipped with heavy cavalry armor, high-quality war horses with strong explosive power and endurance that do not exist in the world, and can easily carry the fully armed Liaodong Iron Cavalry to charge and march normally.
Each war horse is covered with a vest on its body, and has a sharp head hitting the horns on its head, which can cause great lethality to hit the target.
The weapons of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry are heavy assault cavalry, heavy saber, and fine steel knight shield. They are the most elite heavy-armored cavalry, like moving iron armor fortresses crushing the enemy's military formation!
The exchange price is 50 lucky coins per one.
New reputation missions are released: a total of 50,000 lucky coins are obtained, and the reputation level is improved after completion.
It was detected that the area ruled by the host met the conditions for founding the country, and the Ming Kingdom established by the host was included in the system, and the king's authority was triggered, and a new system section was opened...]
Richard frowned as he looked at the game prompt that was stuck in a pause, and turned his attention to the newly emerging Liaodong Iron Cavalry.
"It is worthy of being a 6th-level soldier. Its attributes and equipment surpasses the 5th-level soldier. What is commendable is the cavalry unit.
In the era of cold weapons, cavalry is the king of field battles on the battlefield. In addition to being unable to siege cities, whoever gains the advantage of cavalry in field battles will have strategic initiative.”
Richard looked at the introduction of the attributes of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry and was filled with relief.
He was sure that in East Asia, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry was definitely the strongest cavalry unit!
Even at the peak of the Tang Dynasty, there was no luxury to form a heavy-armed cavalry with all the warriors and cavalry.
Warriors are arrogant, and there are even fewer warriors with superb equestrian skills. How could they be willing to be a soldier?
This is not a question of whether the treatment is good, but because warriors don’t have to worry about food, clothing and expenses at all!
