Chapter 275
Xu Chu acts in a soldier
Winter goes and spring comes, and in a blink of an eye, it is the spring of the seventh year of Jian'an (194).
With the vigorous support of Ma Yue at all costs, the handicrafts and commerce in Guanzhong, Liangzhou and Hetao began to flourish.
Ma Yue also used the Wuzhu coins cast from the coin farm to buy the first batch of 3,000 Shandan military horses from the Shandan military horse farm! Many of the generals under Ma Yue could not understand because the Shandan military horse farm was completely owned by the government, and Ma Yue could completely order the recruitment without having to spend money to buy it.
But Ma Yue doesn't think so.
Government agencies are rigid and inefficient. They can only lead the general direction of the development of the entire society, and cannot interfere in specific matters, otherwise they will only be bad things.
Only businessmen will make a lot of effort to operate in order to maximize profits, and will maximize the effectiveness of industries such as Shandan Military Horse Farm or Hetao Iron Farm. In the short term, Ma Yue did spend a lot of money in vain, but in the long term, the government saved a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain the operation of the military horse farm, and made the economy under its rule full of vitality.
Ma Yue is a future person after all. In the end of the 20th century, it was an indisputable fact that state-owned enterprises suffered large-scale losses. Even the seven-year-old naughty boy had a deep understanding of his parents' laid off. Therefore, the separation of government and enterprises was a lesson obtained at a heavy price. This is the truth, and it is applicable no matter when it is.
Of course, Ma Yue couldn't explain this truth to his generals.
Fortunately, the policy of Ma Butcher's vigorous support for industry and commerce did not touch the vested interests of his generals, and it would not cause internal disputes. Even if there were occasional small disputes, they were suppressed by Ma Butcher with absolute authority. Ma Butcher had never liked to study since he was a child, so he had no education. Apart from horse stirrups and horseshoes, this policy of vigorously supporting industry and commerce was his only contribution to the Three Kingdoms era in the late Han Dynasty.
The spring is chilly and the Hetao Plain is still ice and snowy.
Although it was already midday, Ma Yue still stayed on Diao Chan's embroidery couch and did not get up. He was having morning exercises panting. Two little maids came in with silver plates of hot water to serve the general and Mrs. Ru to get up and wash, but only saw the bead curtain hanging down, the embroidery couch swaying gently, and the moans of Xuexue flowed out of the curtain, and sometimes there were men's heavy breathing sounds.
Suddenly, a strong thigh poked out from the bead curtain, gently swaying the corner of the bead curtain. In a fleeting moment, the two little maids suddenly saw Mrs. Ru wrapping naked around the general's bear waist...
The pink faces of the two little maids turned red and shyly avoided their faces. After a moment, they couldn't help but turn back secretly, staring at the shameful scene intently. In the two pairs of big black and bright eyes, a little curiosity, three points of envy, and six points of restlessness~~
"Master."
Ma Yue had just finished erupting inside Diao Chan's body and wanted to sleep back with the beauty's soft body, Dian Wei's thunderous sound sounded outside the boudoir.
"Lord, Mr. Ju Su has something urgent to ask for a meeting."
"It's Jushu again?"
A bitter smile flashed across Ma Yue's face. Only Ju Su would come to him at this time. Ju Su only recognizes the reason but not the others. If he wants to take advantage of the reason, he will not take into account the face and likes and dislikes of Ma Butcher. If Jia Xu is the so-called human being, he would never have discouraged Ma Butcher's interest at this time.
Ma Yue reluctantly pinched Diao Chan's big white butt twice, and made Diao Chan's snow-white big butt moan. Then he sat up with unfulfilled feelings and turned around and shouted outside the house: "I understand, I'll get up now."
The two little maids laughed and hurriedly came forward to wait for Ma Yue to wash and change clothes with silver plates.
After a cup of tea, Ma Yue came to the living room lazily.
Ju Su hurriedly came forward, bowed and said, "See lord."
"There is no gift," Ma Yue yawned and asked, "Is there any important thing to come so early?"
Ju Su took out a pocket parchment book from his sleeve and handed it to Ma Yue and said, "Lord, Fa Zheng sent him eight hundred miles to speed up, and the Western Regions have been pacified!"
"Oh?" Ma Yue immediately cheered up when he heard this, "Has Fazheng pacified the Western Regions?"
"That's right." Ju Shu said, "Although this Fa Zheng is young, he is extremely experienced in his behavior. When he arrived in the Western Regions, he pretended to be harmonious. When the envoys of the Western Regions gathered in Chigu City, he took the opportunity to kill General Zuo of the Great Yuezhi and Prime Minister of the Cheshi Kingdom, and tied up some small Western Regions countries that were only followed by the leader of the Wusun Kingdom to our chariots."
"Not bad." Ma Yue nodded while reading the sheepskin letter, "This is a ruthless move to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot."
Ju Su said happily: "With the strong support of the Wusun Kingdom, Fa Zheng quickly suppressed the rebellion of the Dayuezhi and Cheshi Kingdom, destroyed the royal family of the two countries, and then selected pro-Han nobles from the two countries to rule. Now the situation in the Western Regions has stabilized, and Guan, Liang and Hetao have no worries anymore."
"Well, it's a good job." Ma Yue rolled up the parchment book and said to Ju Shu, "You can reply to Fazheng to let him weaken the strength of the Wusun Kingdom as much as possible. At present, our army is unable to launch a large-scale western expedition. It is not a good thing that the Wusun family dominates. Only a split and balanced Western Region is the most in line with the interests of the Han Dynasty."
Ju Shu said: "Super the order."
Seeing that Ju Su had finished speaking and still not leaving, Ma Yue couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else to do with Zezhu?"
Ju Su hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord, when he was usurping the criminal system, he found that many military systems of the Liangzhou Army were unreasonable. Didn't General Gao Shun come back from Hangu Pass? After he had some clarification, he felt that it was necessary to reform the Liangzhou military system."
"There are many unreasonable aspects of the Liangzhou military system?" Ma Yue said, "I'll say it."
"For example, the soldiers of the three armies share the joys and sorrows." Ju Su said, "At the time, the lord's army was still a bandit without roots and no one knew whether he could live to see the sun of tomorrow. In order to inspire morale, the lord shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, but now it is not possible."
Ma Yue frowned and said, "Why can't it work now?"
Ju Su said solemnly: "At the time, there were only eight hundred bandits under the lord, with few people and one mind, and it is easy to control it. But now the lord has more than 100,000 troops under the lord, and he can't command it no matter what. But the lord cannot expect all the commanders under his lord to be as inflammatory as you, can lead by example, and easily mobilize the enthusiasm and fighting spirit of the soldiers. This is the crux of the problem."
"This is indeed a problem." Ma Yue nodded, "Although the Liangzhou Legion is powerful, it can be called an elite army, which is 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry and hundreds of veterans of Gao Shun's camp. Apart from that, only the general has sent more than 10,000 veterans to the desert one after another. No matter how the rest of the army is trained, I can't help but lead. I've been wondering, it seems that there is really a problem if you say this."
"So." Ju Su said in a voice, "The Liangzhou army must formulate a rigorous military system. Generals should look like generals, and soldiers should have the principles of soldiers! Generals and soldiers should not eat together. The treatment of veterans and new soldiers must also be distinguished. If soldiers want to get better treatment, higher rewards must be made on the battlefield!"
Ma Yueshen agreed and nodded, "Zezhu, are you all these thoughts?"
"No, most of these were thought out by General Gao Shun. I just made some supplements." Ju Su said this and said in a narrow voice, "Lord, I think the Liangzhou army should imitate the Qin army and formulate a set of strict and orderly military system. Only in this way can the lord effectively dispatch and command the entire Liangzhou army! Only in this way can the Liangzhou army have the strongest combat power."
Ma Yuesu said, "Come on, sit down first, talk slowly, and say more."
Ju Su sat down as he said, and said eroticly: "The Qin army system is the whole country's military system! Soldiers can obtain titles based on military merits. The titles are divided into two levels: Gongshi, the top, the top, the hairpin, the duke, the duke, the duke, the five major doctors, the left and the last, the Grand Secretary, the Grand Secretary, the Guannei Hou, the Chehou, the Legal Marquis, and the Legal Marquis, and the twenty-sixth level of treatment are strictly stipulated."
"A soldier can obtain the lowest title of magistrate as long as he wins the enemy's officer or above, and accumulates military merits or kills the enemy's generals in a formation and can obtain a higher title. Taking the lowest title of magistrate as an example, he can get a hectare of land, a house and a slave, which can ensure that his family has no worries about food and clothing."
Ma Yue nodded, knowing it in his heart, thinking that this is probably the most primitive military rank system, which is equivalent to the division of the levels of soldiers, non-commissioned officers, lieutenants, school officials and generals in later generations. Moreover, the treatment between each type of military rank must be widened so that soldiers can have enough motivation to earn military merits in exchange for higher military ranks and better treatment.
Ju Su said again: "The most important point in the Qin army system is that it is to mobilize more than a thousand troops. The military talisman must have a complete military talisman. The military talisman is usually divided into two halves, and the leading general holds half, and the other half is collected by the lord. If there is no complete military talisman, no one can mobilize the army without authorization. In this way, the powerful army will only be controlled by the lord!"
"Hey, this one doesn't work." Ma Yue shook his head, "This one needs to be cancelled, at least not at present! The so-called military force is very fast. If the Liangzhou army really wants to do this, when the generals in front send the news back to the old camp, the general will send someone to send the military talisman. The daylily will be cold, and the army in front will have already been given to the Guandong army."
Ju Shu said: "What the lord said seems to make sense."
Ma Yue said: "On the battlefield, the fighter's opportunity is fleeting, and it cannot be tolerated at all. If the general who commands the army cannot be given enough autonomy, this battle cannot be fought! What's more, no doubt about people, and no doubt about people. Since this general has used the general who leads the army, he must have enough trust in him. When the former Han Han destroyed Chu, didn't Han Xin not have the military talisman of Emperor Gaozu?"
Ju Shu said: "As far as the lord said."
"Lord." As soon as Ju Su finished speaking, Dian Wei broke in again and said in a gull, "Lord, Major General, Xu Chu, and military advisor are all here."
"Master!"
"Master."
"Brother!"
Before Ma Yue finished speaking, Jia Xu, Ma Chao and Xu Chu had already entered one after another, clasped their fists and said in unison: "See lord."
"Hey, I'll be exempted." Ma Yue said loudly, "I'll be exempted."
Xu Chu stared at his dull eyes and said in a muffled voice: "Lord, this time the Iron Cavalry Camp is full, with a total of 3,000 good horses in the Western Regions, a nine-foot-high high-headed horse! There are also brothers of 1,000, all of them are strong and strong men, over eight feet tall, as well as all of them are heavy iron armor, all of them are giant cavalry rifles, and each one is full of them! Now, the last Iron Cavalry Captain is truly worthy of his name."
Ma Yue said, "The brothers of iron armor are all covered?"
Xu Chu said: "It's all covered, it's lighter than bronze armor, but much stronger. Now, the brothers are less afraid of the bows and arrows of the local dogs in Guandong."
"Cough." Jia Xu coughed lightly, interrupted Xu Chu, and went forward to Ma Yue and said, "Lord, General Xu Chu and Major General have not been idle during this period. They have been reorganizing 20,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry according to your wishes. Except for the Iron Cavalry Camp, the other cavalry teams have been gradually organized. Do you take time to check it out?"
Ma Yue said, "Then why are you trying to get some time? Let's go now and leave!"
After walking two steps forward, Ma Yue suddenly stopped again and turned to Jia Xu and said, "By the way, Wenhe, don't forget to call the heads of the Guandong gentry and wealthy clans. Today, let them open their eyes on what is the real iron armored cavalry and what is the real Western Liang Iron Cavalry!"
Jia Xu said: "The lord is wise."
"Hahaha~~" Ma Yue smiled three times, waved his sleeves and said loudly, "Let's go."
Hetao, Liangzhou Daying.
The horse leaped in golden armor and stood on the platform of the soldiers with a sword.
Behind Ma Yue, Gao Shun, Ma Chao, Fang Yue, Xu Huang, Ju Tu, Li Meng, Wang Fang, Gan Ning, Chen Hu, Zhang Bao, and Jia Xu, Ju Su, Guan Ning, Li Su, Lu Su, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Yong, Zhen Yi, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others were also on the list. If the Ma butcher did not sit, they could only stand.
Looking at the sun passing noon, the horse jumped to Ma Chao beside him nodded gently.
Ma Chao understood and took three steps forward, raised his right arm and waved it down hard. Suddenly, the sound of desolate horns sounded heavily. The school ground was empty, and the exposed yellow earth reflected a cold reflection under the sunlight, and the air was filled with an extra solemn atmosphere.
“Hululu~~”
The sound of the war horses sounded like ghosts, and it was so close to each other. The horse and everyone behind him looked back suddenly. The two cavalry had galloped out of the military camp on the right side of the school ground. The general on the back of the horse in front of the troop platform was then slammed the reins. The mount under his crotch suddenly stood up, and his front legs kicked violently in the air, and stopped the forward rushing momentum.
"Dang!"
The horse's hooves embedded in the horse's hooves fell heavily from the air, and it was like a heavy drum hitting the hearts of Cai Yong, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others. These Kanto gentry had never seen the real Western Liang iron cavalry. At this time, at first glance, such a tall horse and such superb riding skills, their faces immediately changed a little, and their breathing began to become involuntarily rapid.
On the horse's back, Xu Chu was wearing heavy armor and clasped his fists and said, "I will see you when I first meet you!"
"Yeah." Ma Yue nodded gently and said loudly, "The martial arts performance begins!"
"I will obey the order!"
Xu Chu responded with a loud promise, quickly turned around, raised his wolf-toothed hammer and pulled it hard on the horizon in the distance. Suddenly, a faint thunder came from the sky ahead. On the vast horizon, smoke and dust seemed to rise gradually. Everyone standing on the docking platform felt the platform under his feet trembling gently.
"Boom~~"
The horses were crowded with iron hooves.
The heavy armored iron cavalry with a full suit of a thousand cavalry was slowly advancing towards the point of the military platform at a slow speed. The dark iron armor, against the blue sky and the gray and yellow ground, actually showed an extremely mysterious and solemn look. The cavalry spear that pierced the sky exuded a suffocating darkness.
Even the air seemed to be frozen, exuding a suffocating depression.
"Aowoo!"
When the cavalry phalanx was still a hundred steps away from the point platform, Xu Chu suddenly raised the wolf-fanged iron hammer again and slapped heavily into the air. At the same time, he shouted loudly. The heavily armored iron cavalry that was slowly advancing suddenly stopped and stood in silence on the school ground, silent. When the sound of horse hooves like the tide suddenly subsided, Lu Su and other Guandong gentry were even unable to adapt to the sudden change, and their eardrums were still buzzing.
Xu Chu raised his hand and gently stroked his face. The face mask on his helmet fell down instantly. After covering Xu Chu's entire face with a cold and sequential grimace mask, there were only two narrow and long caves of eyes that showed a heart-pounding murderous aura. Xu Chu held his legs hard and shouted loudly, urging the horse to the front of the cavalry formation.
"Click clang clang clang~~"
Amid the endless metal friction, the heavily armored cavalry pulled down the face masks on their helmets. In a flash, the flesh-and-blooded faces of mortals had been replaced by cold grimace masks. From this moment on, they were no longer humans, but cold-blooded killers wrapped in iron armor.
The face mask covers not only the face, but also the desires, fears and even death of the soldiers~~
"Huh!"
Xu Chu gently rode his horse, and the horse under his crotch released its four hooves and began to trot towards the pointing platform. Suddenly, the thousand armored cavalry behind Xu Chu also rode forward and slowly approached the pointing platform, as if the faint thunder sounded far away in the sky again, and the not-solid-built pointing platform began to tremble again.
"ha!"
Xu Chu suddenly shouted loudly, and the war horse under his crotch gradually began to accelerate, and the thousand cavalry behind him also began to accelerate at the same time. The thousand cavalry lances that were originally pierced in the sky also began to tilt forward slightly and crushed straight towards the pointing platform. The horse butcher was still standing still after a long battle, but the Guandong gentry behind him were already as sieve as a sieve. In fact, Cai Yong and others were not afraid of death. They just couldn't control this tremor from the depths of their souls!
"Aoha~~"
When Xu Chu's thunderous shout suppressed the sound of hooves like a tide and clearly reached the eardrums of everyone on the point platform, a total of a thousand heavy armored iron cavalry pressed down the cavalry in their hands at the same time, and in an instant it formed a row of cold gun forests, like countless evil wolves, showing off their hideous fangs to the prey at the same time...
"Boom boom boom boom~~"
The continuous sound of impact sounded, and the "Caozha Guandong Soldiers" arranged in advance were instantly hit and flew backwards. Many "Kanto Soldiers" were pierced by sharp rifles in the air, but the weapons in their hands could not cause any damage to the Liangzhou heavy cavalry protected by heavy armor.
The heavy cavalry in Liangzhou was like rows of iron armored monsters, ruthlessly crushing the main formation of the "Kantong Army", and shattering the formation of the Kantong Army. Cai Yong, Zhen Yi, Kuai Liang, Mi Zhu and others were not military, and could only feel the huge stimulation from visual shock. But Kuai Yue and Lu Su were experts in military use. They knew that the power of the Liangzhou iron cavalry was not only to disrupt the enemy's formation, but also to visual impact. Its real power was the ruthless destruction of the enemy's will to resist!
