Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

Now, the Shaoshuai Army only controls Poyang County. The Xinyu Iron Mine in the Jiangzuo area belongs to Yichun County, with Yuzhang County in between.

In a short period of time, it is impossible for Shaoshuai's army to capture Yuzhang and Yichun counties, because Yuzhang County has high walls and thick walls and is stationed with elite Sui troops. If it were easy to defeat, Lin Shihong of Poyang sent Yuzhang long ago, why wait until now? .

In the land of Jiangzuo, Yuzhang County exclusively occupies eight counties: Nanchang, Xingan, Jiancheng, Wangcai, Wuping, Yifeng, Kangle, and Zhongling. It has a population of [-] households and nearly [-] residents, second only to Lu In Lingjun, there is sufficient food and grass, and all soldiers and armor are ready.

Compared with conquering Yuzhang and capturing Yichun, one can reach Jiangxia County in less than five days by going up the river from Penglize.

Jiangxia County has the famous Daye Iron Mine in later generations. Iron ore has been mined since the Three Kingdoms period. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty also cast money. The minerals are rich and of high quality, which are most suitable for making weapons and armor.

"Yes."

Chen Laomou showed joy on his face and quickly responded.

Ever since he obtained the hydraulic forging method, he had long wanted to apply it in real life, but he had never had the chance.

Now he finally had the opportunity, the opportunity to surpass the Dongming Sect and become the largest producer of sophisticated weapons in the world.

"Master Ling."

"Tell me what you gained from this battle."

Glancing at Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong asked.

"it is good."

Xu Ziling stood up suddenly, took out a piece of silk, and read loudly: "In this battle, we completely wiped out the Poyang faction, killed more than 5000 people, captured 1500 people, and seized more than [-] weapons of all kinds. The handles, more than [-] pieces of leather armor, and [-] large and small ships were damaged."

"In Poyang's treasury there are two thousand pieces of fine iron, three thousand mulberry sticks, eight thousand pieces of cowhide, gold, silver, jewelry, etc. that have not yet been touched."

The voice fell.

Everyone present couldn't help but look at him.

Two thousand jun of fine iron is equivalent to [-] kilograms, and there is also mulberry wood, a precious wood that is hard to find for a lot of money. It is generally used to make high-quality horses, not to mention eight thousand cowhide, which must have killed eight thousand cows. , What a luxurious behavior.

"Elder Chen."

"I will give you all the captured weapons, leather armor, fine iron, cowhide, and mulberry wood."

"Within a month, I will see at least [-] horizontal knives and [-] pairs of leather armors."

"Also, can the mulberry tree be made into a good horse tree?"

Immediately, Kou Zhong's eyes fell on Chen Laomou.

"This....."

Chen Laomou thought for a long time before he dared to raise his head and replied: "Young Marshal."

"Our craftsmanship supervisor has 800 blacksmiths, and with the water-powered forge, we can deliver [-] horizontal knives a month if we have sufficient materials."

"The leather armor also needs the cooperation of the weaving supervisor."

"I'm afraid we have to wait for Jinyiwei to recruit craftsmen from Daxing."

heard.

Kou Zhong understood.

Making horse-stemming is a delicate job. First, the stem is soaked in oil with mulberry wood. After drying, it is glued with fish foam glue. Hemp rope is wound horizontally, and the stem is inserted into the stem to force it horizontally. Then it is painted with raw paint and wrapped. With Gebu, this can become a qualified pole.

Secondly, the spear is made of fine steel and has eight armor-piercing edges. It can break both light and heavy armor with one strike.

It often takes three years to make a good horse spear, which is an important military weapon.

Except for the Sui Dynasty, no country in the world could mass-produce horseshoes.

"We must stick to the schedule."

"However, we don't need that many horizontal knives. We only need [-] handles. First, we need to make a three-edged spear head from fine steel."

"Send people to purchase eucalyptus wood, poplar wood, and beef tendon wood from various counties, and match them with three-edged spearheads to make spears measuring one foot and three feet."

"Within a month, I will need at least [-] three-edged spears, and at the same time, I will forge a large number of two-foot throwing spears."

Geek!

Hear this.

Everyone present was staring.

Light troops with horizontal swords, heavy troops with spears, and bows and crossbows were the standard configuration of the Qin army that swept across the six kingdoms in history.

However, what they didn't know was that Kou Zhong imitated not only the Qin army, but also the Roman legions.

The crossbowmen suppressed them from a distance, and then used light soldiers with horizontal swords and round shields, equipped with two-foot throwing spears, to kill at close range. Then the heavy armored soldiers with spears leaned forward, and then used light soldiers to attack from both sides, annihilating the enemy in one fell swoop. It is a brand new military formation that belongs exclusively to the Young Marshal's Army.

"Yes, young commander."

Chen Laomou sensed Kou Zhong's determination from the words and immediately responded solemnly.

It is imperative to expand the army, and the craftsman supervisor must prepare a certain amount of ordnance for the army no matter what.

"Master Ling."

"Sixty-five thousand prisoners were selected for selection."

"Select [-] young men and establish the Poyang camp. You will be the Poyang general, and Xie Yingdeng will be the Poyang Zhonglang general, and they will be trained intensively."

"The remaining 6000 people were sent to various places to mine, build bridges and build roads."

"From now on, new recruits in our army will undergo three months of intensive training before being assigned to various armies."

Kou Zhong continued.

"Yes."

Xu Ziling and Xie Yingdeng responded loudly.

In the entire army, Xu Ziling is the commander-in-chief second only to Kou Zhong. It is most suitable for him to preside over the army training.

Moreover, the Poyang Camp will serve as the base for the Young Marshal's Army to continuously train new soldiers, just like the Qin State's Lantian Camp, which is particularly important.

Except for Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong did not believe in the loyalty of others.

"Mr. Bu."

"You will be appointed as the governor of Poyang County first to preside over local government affairs."

"The candidates for the county magistrate, county magistrate, chief secretary, and the third squad and the sixth officer of the seven counties of Poyang will first be selected from the wounded and dead of our army."

"In the future, all official positions under our military will be filled by retired officers and soldiers first, and then scholars from poor families will be chosen."

"Any wealthy family who dares to break the law will be severely punished."

"The first thing our army did when ruling Poyang County was to verify the population and land acres."

"Pull out all the wealthy families who hide their slaves and the aristocratic families who occupy their fields, and kill them as a warning to others!"

Looking at Bu Tianzhi, Kou Zhong said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Bu Tianzhi looked greatly refreshed and responded loudly.

Everyone present came from a poor family, so they naturally supported Kou Zhong's decision. As for whether retired officers and soldiers can hold official positions, this has been clearly demonstrated in the Qin State. None of the civil servants in the Qin State were military generals with military merits.

Use military generals as local officials. The former can enhance the confidence of soldiers to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service. The latter comes from a poor background and can better understand the difficulties of the people.

Chapter 40: Open the can again and win the bronze prize! ! !

"Where is the commander of Jinyiwei?"

Looking around at everyone, Kou Zhong drank softly.

"Young Master!"

Fu Junma, who was dressed in a unicorn suit and looked heroic, stood up in response.

Everyone glanced at it and retracted the envy in their eyes. They were joking. Fu Junma's relationship with the young marshal is very special. In addition, she is also a master. If she really angers her, no one will get the good news.

"Jinyiwei speeds up its expansion. Xiangchu, Lingnan, and Jiangdong must become one county with one thousand households."

"In addition, people were sent to recruit Zhou Shaofan, the secretary of Cangzhou in Jiaozhi County, Du Ruhui, the captain of Fuyang, Fangxuanling, the captain of Xicheng, Ma Zhou from Qinghe, Chu Suiliang, the secretary of Xihai County, Cen Wenwen from Dengzhou, Wei Chigong from Shuozhou; Nanliang Wang Gui, the grandson of Wang Sengbian, the minister ordered, should be hiding in Zhongnan Mountain now."

"Also, there is a person under Du Fuwei's account named Li Jing, who is also recruiting."

With deep eyes, Kou Zhong recalled one by one the famous ministers and generals in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties who were still in humble circumstances.

Now, the Young Marshal's army is occupying a county, and there is also the Double Dragon Gang, which can be regarded as one of the rare hidden dragons in the world. No one with a vision can let go of the olive branch extended by such a potential unit.

"Yes."

Fu Junma's beautiful eyes shone one after another and she responded.

At this time, Kou Zhong looked at Xie Yingdeng, Wang Junke, and You Junda: "Yingdeng, Junke, Junda."

"Can you please write a handwritten letter inviting Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, and Cheng Yaojin to join our army?"

"This.."

Xie Yingdeng, Wang Junke, and You Junda looked at each other.

Xie Yingdeng was the first to reply: "Young Marshal, there is no problem in writing a handwritten letter. I just want to recruit Brother Qin and the others, which may be difficult. After all, they are now under Zhang Xutuo."

"It doesn't matter. After some time, Zhang Xutuo won't be able to protect himself. Qin Qiong and the others will have to find another way out."

Kou Zhong confidently said with a wave of his hand.

In history, although Zhang Xutuo defeated the Wagang Army several times, it was only the Wagang Army before Li Mi came.

Since the beginning of the year, Zhai Rang adopted Li Mi's strategy and successively captured Jindiguan and most of the county towns of Xingyang County, advancing towards Xingyang City. The strength of the Wagang Army was different from before.

On the other hand, although Zhang Xutuo was the defender of Xingyang, he only had more than [-] Sui army troops under his command, and his combat power was far inferior to the elite troops he led in the past. How could he stop him?

In the original history, Zhang Xutuo would be defeated in October this year, less than three months from now.

At this time, if Qin Qiong and the others were recruited in advance, and there were invitations from Xie Yingdeng and other old friends of Jia Liulou, it would naturally be impossible to fail.

By then, the three powerful generals will enter the camp, and together with the famous ministers and generals mentioned above, the team of the Young Marshal's army to conquer the world will be completely formed.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Xie Yingdeng, Wang Junke, and You Junda looked shocked, and responded with some surprise.

"If there is nothing else to do, please leave now and go to your duties!"

After waving his hand, Kou Zhong said impatiently.

"Yes."

Everyone left one after another, and even Xu Ziling went down to make arrangements for the Poyang camp.

Kou Zhong was the only one left in the main hall, sitting on the Grand Master's chair with his eyes closed tightly, thinking silently in his heart: "System, how many bronze jars do I have now."

[Ding dong, return to the host, you now have bronze jars: seventeen! 】

"Okay, open them all!"

Without any hesitation, Kou Zhong immediately made a decision in his heart.

Now he urgently needs to enhance the strength of the Young Marshal's Army. The effect of synthesizing a silver can is far less than opening ten bronze cans.

After all, the former may produce higher-star treasures, but it will not enhance the strength of the young commander's army in a short period of time, and may even produce useless items.

Although the latter has fewer star-rated treasures, the quantity is large, which is more helpful to the strength of the young commander's army.

[Ding dong, congratulations to the host for opening the bronze jar and receiving the reward: an 800-year-old silver ginseng! 】

[Ding dong, congratulations to the host for opening the bronze jar and receiving the reward: ten blood fruits! 】

[Ding dong, congratulations to the host for opening the bronze jar and receiving the reward: Barbarian Elephant Powerful Technique! 】

【...】

A dozen mechanical prompts sounded in Kou Zhong's mind, and Kou Zhong's pupils instantly dilated.

'hiss! ! ! '

Seventeen bronze jars yielded two two-star treasures, five one-star treasures, and ten zero-star treasures. It was an explosion of character.

800-year-old Ginseng, Blood Origin Fruit, Barbarian Elephant Power Technique, and Heavenly Fire Burning Soldier Technique all come from "The World of the Emperor".

Among them, 800-year-old silver ginseng and blood source fruit are two-star treasures, which can refine the whole body and increase cultivation.
