Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 731 Formation of Iron Cavalry Regiment
The time has entered the 19th year of Wu Wang Qingji, which is 495 BC, the twelfth lunar month.

Following Qingji's order, tens of thousands of Wu army officers and soldiers withdrew from the territory of the six Jin princes, and embarked on the pace of returning to Wu.

Wu's war in the Central Plains, which lasted for half a year, finally came to an end.

And the results were unexpectedly rich.

Qingji not only dismembered the old overlord Jin State as he wished, but also became the "Fang Bo", the overlord of the world, and gained countless actual benefits.

According to the agreement in advance, South Korea, Wei Guo, and Zhi Guo each sent [-] households of Li Shu to Wu Guo to repay Qing Ji's kindness for letting them rank among the vassals.

Zhao Guo offered [-] households of Li Shu and [-] good horses.

The Bank of China and Fan Guo paid tribute to the Wu State with [-] horses and [-] households of Li Shu!

Calculated from this back and forth, the population of good horses that Wu Guo can get are:

Five thousand good horses.

Could it be that Qingji intends to further expand the army?

Just as Qingji expected, Fan Li immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think that the six counties in the south of the Lingnan and the three counties in the southwest have vast land and few people, and they still need to be reclaimed."

……

And with the emergence of the Wu State Iron Cavalry Regiment, the advantages of the northern countries in chariot galloping on the plains in the past will also disappear!

From the princes of the Six Jin Dynasty, Qingji even confiscated [-] good horses!

With so many good horses, is it possible that Qingji will build an army of chariots?
The ministers didn't agree with it in their hearts.

The population is [-] households.

Horses can be divided into good horses and bad horses, and bad horses are generally used to pull carts, or used by ordinary scholars.

"No gift, flat!"

Because Qingji knew he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry!
It is not so easy to form a cavalry unit from scratch.

Taolinsai and Yindi, two places suitable for grazing, have also become the territory of Wu State, and will be the bridgehead for attacking the Central Plains in the future...

At this moment, Qingji was wearing a black and red-striped mian suit, a flat sky crown on his head, and a Longyuan sword in one hand, with a solemn expression on his face, sitting on his own throne.

This time, Qingji not only purchased more than [-] good horses from Zhongshan and Yan.

Because the number of chariots in the state of Wu at this time is already the best in the world, there is no need to buy more chariots.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Zhongshan State and Yan State allowed Wu State to buy their own good horses with two-thirds of the market price was because the two countries wanted Wu State.

Qing Ji put his eyes on the chief Sima Wu Zixu again, and said, "Wu Yuan."

Qing Ji gave a little support, and the officials who were still bowing down immediately stood up, patted the corners of their skirts, and sat down.

"In addition to the government distributing farm tools, houses, land, and renting cattle and daily necessities, etc., the king should also reward each family with [-] yuan and exempt them from corvee and tax for three to five years, so as to make these new Wu People are used to the unfamiliar environment in the south.”

"These more than 7000 good horses, as well as the good horses that will be in place in the future, will be handed over to you. Within six months, the widow expects to see a well-organized cavalry. Within a year, this cavalry must form a certain combat effectiveness. Let's fight!"

"Maybe your majesty can arrange the more than 50 new Wu people to the south of our country of Wu and give them convenience."

"Continue to buy. All countries, buy as many good horses as there are!"

Fortunately, Qingji was not in a hurry to use cavalry to fight.

To be honest, the ministers and officials of the state of Wu don't quite understand why Qingji needs so many good horses?

Zeng ordered to take orders immediately.

"Chen is here!"

"Moreover, it is purchased at two-thirds below the market price!"

However, throughout the ages, where has there been a real cavalry unit?
Ordinary cavalry are used as scouts.

Hearing this, Zeng Dian hurriedly got up, bowed to Qingji and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, so far, our country Wu has purchased 850 good horses from Zhongshan country, and [-] good horses from Yan country!"

So, this time's Jiji celebration is a huge profit!

"promise!"

"good."

This is of great benefit to Wu Guo.

"My king, ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years!"

After all, it is impossible to sell Wu's real secret weapon.

At this time, it is necessary for Wu Zixu and others to rack their brains to train the cavalry.

Since Fan Li raised this matter on his own initiative, he must have his own ideas.

Qingji nodded in satisfaction.

As the well-deserved overlord of the world today, Wu is also the number one "arms dealer". He can sell a large number of weapons and armor that have been eliminated to Zhongshan and Yan, and send some soldiers to their territory to help them train their troops... …

"It's just that I don't know how the king plans to properly arrange them?"

At this time, Fan Li, the official censor, stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, the 50 households of Li Shu, with a population of more than [-] people, who were paid tribute to me by the princes of the Six Jin Dynasties have already reached the line of Taolin Sai and Yindi and entered our territory of Wu. was temporarily placed down."

Wu Zixu agreed with a wry smile.

The capital of Wu State, Jinling.

At the beginning of the spring of the second year, Qingji returned to Jinling City, and held a court meeting as usual.

Qingji calculated it himself, and there are probably more than [-] Li Shu!

This time, with so many fewer people and so many excellent war horses, how could the princes of the Six Jin Dynasty not be greatly weakened by Qing Ji?

"Thank you king!"

As we all know, population is the foundation of a country's livelihood.

In addition, after the Battle of Jiangcheng, Wu Jun also emptied the treasury of the capital of Jin, and obtained countless rare treasures.

Those who can be called good horses can generally be used as war horses.

Before, Qingji had discussed with Wu Zixu, Sun Wu and others about forming an iron cavalry regiment.

Because of fighting on the battlefield, the cavalry cannot release their hands on the horseback, and even if it is too bumpy, the cavalry may be thrown off the horse...

Hearing this, Qingji thought for a while and said, "Fan Li, what do you think?"

"Sir, take orders!"

After looking around for a week, Qingji set his sights on Zhi Su Nei Shi Zeng Dian, and said slowly, "Zeng Dian, in the past six months, how many good horses have my country Wu bought from Zhongshan and Yan?"

Furthermore, it is not enough to have a large number of chariots, and a certain amount of auxiliary soldiers are needed to assist the chariots in fighting...

Your Majesty, more than 200 ministers paid homage to the anniversary ceremony, and shouted "Wan Nian" in unison.

In the court, all ministers with an official rank of more than six hundred shi must rush to Fengtian Hall to attend if there is no important matter.

"..."

Qingji immediately fell into deep thought.

"inappropriate!"

At this moment, the prime minister of the right, Kong Qiu, stood up and retorted: "Doctor Yushi, if you forcefully relocate these Li Shu from the land of the Six Jins, I'm afraid it will cause a large number of them to flee!"
