Horse on the World

Chapter 45 In Spring

A little nonsense, everyone, think that I am asking for votes: I woke up and opened the webpage today, and I was very depressed. Why? "Three Dynasties Veterans" has been stepped on by me for several weeks. Today, with a bang, not only my asshole exploded, but also my head exploded. I was wondering, but when I looked carefully, it was because he was recommended. Today I really realized the power of recommendation. Fortunately, I have also signed a contract, and I look forward to the recommendation.

In March, it is the time when the grass grows and twigs fly. The land covered by snow for the whole winter has grown a layer of light green. Stretch your body in the spring breeze, breathing the sweet air thoughtfully.In the big tree that was burnt down last autumn, a few thin buds protruded from the withered black broken branches. If you look carefully, the dots of green have already spread all over the big tree. The big tree is already full of vitality.
Dozens of small reservoirs built by dams in winter are distributed in the mountains. After the warm spring, the snow melts, and the snow water flows into them along the mountain stream. Where the wind blows, green waves ripple and ripples layer upon layer. Layers spread out circle by circle.The water reflects the sunlight, and the ripples of the water cut the reflections of the mountains into layers of peaks. From time to time, flocks of birds fly up from the forest in the mountains and skim over the water in groups. Occasionally, a bird The child skimmed low, and the paws lightly touched the water surface, splashing a little water.
The sound of horseshoes, a group of horses and horses came slowly among the slender moors in the field, the leader was wearing a broad robe with a smile on his face, and beside him was a middle-aged scribe with a square face and thick eyebrows, and behind them, a group of knights in full armor, Two or three steps behind the two, they rode their horses and walked slowly.

"The wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows again!" Li Qing, dressed in plain clothes, raised his whip and pointed to the field, "Mr. Shang, when we first came here last autumn, did we ever think of such a beautiful rural scenery? "
Shang Haibo smiled and said: "I have time to think about it. Last year I was trembling, just to survive. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is just a fleeting moment in my eyes."
Li Qing laughed loudly: "Mr. Shang, you are still a literati in vain, and you are so spoiling the scenery. You are not as good as I, Li Qing, a martial artist."
Glancing at Li Qing, Shang Haibo said: "If there are more warriors like generals, we and other scribes will have to beg for a living. Fortunately, there are very few special ones like you. The only general has a share, fortunately."

This flattery is unknowing, but it makes people feel like spring breeze.The two reined in their horses and looked at the field quietly. The farmers were helping the plow, and the waves of mud turned up to both sides. The women followed behind, throwing the seeds from the small baskets they were carrying. , Then pick up the hoe and cover the seeds with soil.

"Sow hope this spring, and harvest success in autumn!" Li Qing said, "Mr. Shang, did you see that this is the seed of our Chong County, which has been sown and sprinkled."

Hearing this pun, Shang Haibo said: "That's right, after a year of stinging, it will be harvested at the end of autumn. General!"

The two stopped talking, and rode their horses quietly, listening to the rural folk songs sung by the farmers.
"General, it seems that there are county magistrate Xu and Mr. Lu in front!" Yang Yidao drove his horse up a few steps, and pointed to the people who were talking to the peasants in the distance ahead.
"That's right, it's really them. It seems that they also came to inspect the village. Let's go and meet him." Li Qing clamped the horse's belly, and a group of people galloped away.
"Magistrate Xu, Mr. Lu, you two are here too!" Li Qing got off his horse and saw Xu Yunfeng and Lu Yiming tucking the corner of their robes around their waists, and their feet were covered with mud. Seeing Li Qing and the others, he hurried up to salute, "General Li, Mr. Shang, you two are here too."
The two smiled and nodded, "Are you two inspecting the village?" Li Qing asked.
Xu Yunfeng said with a smile: "Yes, I went to a few villages with Mr. Lu, now it's the season of spring sowing, the four villages will see how the spring sowing is, and we can't miss the harvest time."

Lu Yiming nodded with a smile on the side, "The villagers are very active, they have enough seeds, and last year they robbed a lot of livestock and distributed them to the townships. There is enough livestock power, and the spring sowing is almost done now."
Li Qing saw that Lu Yiming had changed a lot, he was very different from the smug scholar he first saw, now he was the same as Xu Yunfeng, his hands were covered with mud, his legs and feet were also speckled and splashed with mud, he couldn't help but sigh Surprised.
Li Qing didn't know that in the competition with Shang Haibo in Changsheng Camp, Lu Yiming was completely defeated. For a period of time, Lu Yiming saw that Shang Haibo's control over the overall situation and his military talent had completely faded away. Instead of competing with Shang Haibo in the military, he turned his attention to civil affairs.During the day and night with Xu Yunfeng, he unconsciously infected the other party's pragmatic style, and threw the old empty talk to Java.

"Next, Mr. Shang and I will go to the barracks. How did County Magistrate Xu and Mr. Lu arrange it?" Li Qing asked.

Xu Yunfeng said: "Mr. Lu and I still have a few villages to go, and then we will go to the reservoir to check the water storage situation. General and Mr. Shang, please go ahead."

The group was divided into two places. Looking at the backs of Xu and Lu, Li Qing sighed: "Mr. Lu has changed so much, I can't believe it."

Shang Haibo knew the reason for Lu Yiming's change, and said: "Old Lu is a very smart person, he is now cooperating well with the county magistrate Xu, and he wants to make the best of it. Chong County's logistics is worry-free. It will be of great help to your great cause.”

When they returned to the barracks, it was already afternoon, and Wang Qinian, Jiang Kui, and Feng Guo had already received the news, and greeted them outside the camp. The other general, Guo Shanfeng, had now been transferred to Jiming Ze to preside over the fortress in Jiming Ze. build.
Team training is going on in the barracks. Spearmen, Shield Soldiers, and Sword Soldiers, each of three groups as a combination, catches teams and fights on the school field, and the sound of killing is loud.The Changsheng Battalion was in the hands of Li Qing. After a series of reforms, it was fundamentally different from the other battalions of the Dingzhou Army in terms of fighting methods. Most of the veterans were promoted to Guochang, and the Sanguo group formed a sentry, with a sentry leader.
"General, after such a long period of training, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has been greatly improved. Although there are many new recruits, they are not much worse than our old veterans. As long as they go to the battlefield once or twice, they will see blood." , is a division of tigers and wolves." Wang Qinian said proudly with a wisp of his beard.

Li Qing smiled and said: "There are still countless elite soldiers on the training ground. Only after passing the test of the battlefield can they truly transform. Oh, by the way, have the chariots I mentioned come over?"

Feng Guo took a step forward and said, "General, here we are. We are trying to figure out how to fight the chariot. I wonder if the general has any advice?"

Li Qing shook his head, "This needs to be explored by yourself. Chariots are very practical combat units, especially in our battles between barbarians. Most of the barbarians are cavalry, while we are mainly infantry. Chariots can effectively reduce the pressure of cavalry against infantry. Its impact, if used properly, can be regarded as a sharp weapon on the battlefield."

While speaking, a chariot was pushed up, and on a two-wheeled vehicle, standing shields half a person's height were erected on three sides, and on the front standing shields, the tips of spears gleamed coldly, protruding about halfway. Chi length.In the car, a scorpion cannon stands on the car, which can accommodate one person standing and dozens of stone bullets. "Now Jiangying has delivered dozens of them. According to the plan, each wing will be equipped with a hundred chariots." chariots, 200 chariots, so we have 200 soldiers on one wing."
Li Qing nodded, "In the future, there will be more soldiers on each wing. In addition, each wing will no longer have a supply team. We will set up a unified supply team. From now on, each wing will be in charge of fighting, not logistics."
When Wang Qinian heard this, he couldn't help being surprised and delighted, "General, do you think our wings will expand?"

Li Qing smiled and said: "Why not? In the future, I will equip each wing with archers, cavalry, and engineers, so that the arms of one wing will be rich and diverse. After all the equipment is fully equipped, there will be about 3000 people in one wing." Both Wang Qinian and Feng Guo were overjoyed , only Jiang Kui asked: "General, each wing has cavalry, what about my cavalry wing?"
Li Qing laughed, "Don't worry, your cavalry wing will be a special unit, and it will only become stronger and stronger in the future. Well, in my plan, I will equip you with heavy cavalry in the future. What is heavy cavalry? I don’t understand, let me tell you, it’s humanoid armor, shit, I don’t understand armor either, forget it, I’m too lazy to tell you, anyway, I don’t have the money to do it now, and when I’m free, I’ll make a sample for you to see and you’ll understand. "

Feng Guo rejoiced for a while, then suddenly said: "General, the military system of Great Chu has only one thousand troops per wing?"
Shang Haibo laughed and said: "What's wrong, what can Marshal Xiao do with this kind of court? Anyway, they don't need money, as long as we can afford it, the more we can do, the better."
