Northern Dynasties

Chapter 470
Today's military and political meeting has achieved greater progress than the one in January. It not only confirmed a new considerable income for the Bafu, which can be used as the material basis for the next military plan, but also reached an aggressive military plan for Heyang.

Although this plan was a bit reluctant to achieve, especially if the two big men, Yu Jin and Li Bi, at least had the idea of ​​procrastinating and waiting and seeing, even if they could not talk about obedience and obedience.

After the meeting, Li Taifang invited some Hui to sit at his office and exchange his views on the next changes in the situation, because he could see that several Hui was more interested in making progress in Heyang.

Whether in business or in private, Li Tai felt that it was necessary to have a talk with Ji Hui, and it was best to persuade him not to go anywhere, at least to stay in Kansai honestly this year.

However, several Hui is now the official governor of the foreign army, and the military affairs are the most busy and heavy. The gathering and dispatch of troops from the states, counties, and townships needs to be carried out by the foreign military government, so there is no time to stay in the Taiwan government for a long time.Li Tai just stayed to discuss a few details with Zhitang's office, and when he came out again, Ji Hui had disappeared.

So he ordered his subordinates to report to the foreign army military mansion, and then returned to Xizhitang with Zhao Su, Wang Zizhi and other subordinates, and explained the follow-up procedures of material handover and storage, and confirmed that the instructions here were thorough. Just left Taifu and went to Houjunjun City.

Although Li Tai didn't take over the Houjun for a short time, and he took many days off for the wedding, but under his management, the Houjun Military Mansion has undergone many changes.

Among them, the most obvious one is the disorganized layout and extremely inefficient use of space in the original army city, but after Li Tai took over the army mansion, this situation was quickly reversed.

The streets in the city are horizontal and vertical, the residential quarters are orderly, and every household has a fixed living space.Many urban residents who had to drag their families and live in the wilderness in the outskirts due to lack of space in the city or other reasons were finally able to settle in the city.

The urban living environment has been changed. In addition to Li Tai's self-funded construction, it is also because some of the previous ills have been fundamentally reversed.

Although this military city is not too big, it can still accommodate tens of thousands of people. However, there was no complete and unified planning and construction before, and many governors privately occupied various convenient locations in the city, so that the efficiency of land use Low, even many city residents are not allowed to enter the city.

When Li Tai entered the military mansion, he expelled many middle and upper-level generals, and naturally all their private songs were swept away.When the important positions are replaced by our own people, many things will be done much more smoothly.After all, many problems are actually personnel problems in the end.

Just as Li Tai got off his horse in the front hall of the military mansion, Li Mu, the governor of Fangcheng who stayed behind, came up to meet him and reported to him the news that Yu Wenhu was waiting for him in the mansion.

Li Tai was not in a hurry to meet each other, but entered the straight hall first, and briefly conveyed the spirit of today's Taifuzhong meeting to the generals.The military goal of advancing Heyang will not be announced to the generals of the army, but the work of gathering the army to prepare for the war will start now.

If future generations want to start a war, there is still a lot of preliminary work to be prepared.As early as the beginning of the year, the Zhujun Mansion added new training content, including but not limited to marching between the plains and rivers, camping, arrays and other items.

If it was an army that was still dominated by town soldiers before, the content of the training did not need to be changed so carefully, but now the main body of battalion soldiers in the army has been replaced by Kansai Erlang. The local combat experience in the flat terrain is also insufficient.

In particular, although the main body of the army of the Western Wei Dynasty has changed, the Eastern Wei Dynasty still follows the old style. It has rich and powerful experience and ability to ride, shoot, clutch and charge, and can give full play to its advantages in the terrain of Henan.

The previous training idea was based on the premise of participating in the battle in Henan. Many trainings were mainly based on plain warfare, focusing on the opening and closing of the infantry's wide formation and the coordination of the cavalry's advance and retreat.

In view of the situation that Kansai Erlang’s cavalry and shooting are generally weaker than the town’s soldiers, and combined with the combat characteristics of the later Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Tai also proposed new training content, that is, infantry should be trained on riding, and horses can be used to improve their mobility and quickly invest The battlefield moved forward and backward, and heavy infantry with heavy armor and long swords formed an formation.

Who knows the power of the cavalry, Li Tai accepted He Basheng's old troops, and chased Jihu in northern Shaanxi to train troops, especially after obtaining [-] soldiers in Longyou, he was able to enter and leave Jinyang freely.

When it comes to cavalry tactics, he is far from being a master. Even the series of battles in Jinyang were mostly due to the situation, and there are still not many evenly matched battles in the plains.

But there are quite a few generals who are proficient in cavalry tactics, and each has its own characteristics.Li Tai knows that good luck cannot always favor him. While strengthening his military literacy, he must also strengthen his tactical power and choices. The most direct way is of course to upgrade equipment.

He had tried to use long-bladed swords such as the horse-chopping sword before, but the effect was not too great due to the quality of the ordnance, but it added many hidden dangers to the battlefield.

However, with the capture of many highly skilled craftsmen in Jinyang Palace, this matter has further room.Almost on the first day when the captives were escorted back to Suizhou, Li Tai impatiently assigned the task of forging new weapons, and no longer limited to his own narrow cognition, let the veterans under his command They all participated in the discussion and proposed several forms that best meet the needs of the battlefield and human dynamics and tested them one by one.

The forging of long-bladed broadswords is indeed quite difficult for Kansai craftsmen. Even these skilled craftsmen in Jinyang cannot easily obtain it. On the eve of Li Tai's wedding, a total of two hundred sabers were sent to Chang'an as a congratulatory gift from the generals in northern Shaanxi.

The blades of these long knives are four feet long, with two sides of blades, and the handles are more than three feet long. The weight of the knives is more than ten catties, and when one swings the blade, it is true that both men and horses are within the sharp edge, and the actual combat performance is really good.But compared with the historical Mo Dao, it should still be different.

It's not that Li Tai doesn't want to continue to improve, but the current form of the long knife is already a suitable point that can be achieved by various factors such as craftsmanship, cost, and combat style.If the blade is further lengthened, the craftsmanship and cost will increase sharply, and considering the display of the power of the effect in actual combat, greater tactical adjustments are also required.

Although Li Tai is known as the King of Food in Kansai, he can't treat money like dung. If the labor and manpower consumed by these two hundred sabers were used for other purposes, the weapons produced would be more than enough to arm thousands of people.If the consumption in the development and improvement stage is added, it has reached a level that cannot be calculated carefully.

Therefore, Li Tai also needs to invest conservatively until he is truly tested on the battlefield and its power is truly astonishing.After all, his big brother has already left, and I'm afraid there won't be another big brother preparing such a big gift package for him in this world.

If Heyang is taken as the real target, then the current military training will also have to add some special combat methods for special terrain such as river bridges and beach grabbing.

But after thinking about it, Li Tai still decided to strengthen the coordination of cavalry and commanded Commander Shi Luteng to apply for a training site from the Huazhou Governor's Mansion. In the next period of time, he will conduct several high-intensity hunting training, one round per ten days, although It's a bit hard, but it's better than being chased and unable to escape.

At the same time, the Ba Mansion's military order to gather armored soldiers has to cooperate. The Chinese Army does not need to be so cumbersome to the state and county soldiers. After all, they belong to military households. Those local tyrants wrangled and negotiated.

However, as the chief of the military government, Li Tai also had to think about it for the soldiers in the government. Before the situation was clear, the troops who dispatched first would inevitably have to bear greater risks of variables.And if you want to be recruited and dispatched by the Bafu, the best way is to let the Bafu understand that you can't afford me!

So Li Tai ordered the government officials to take inventory of the inventory as soon as possible, and draw up a list of supplies such as armaments that need to be reported to the Overlord's Mansion for withdrawal, preferably the kind that the Overlord's Mansion can't afford.If you don't give me enough supplies, I won't be able to leave even if I want to!

Of course, according to Yu Wentai's pissing nature, such a delaying plan is probably not very effective, and he should get out.But now that Li Tai has just secured several million stones, grain and grass for him, it would be really inappropriate for him to ignore Li Tai's demands for supplies!

After explaining these things, Li Tai stood up and turned around to the other hall, and saw Yu Wenhu who had already entered the mansion and was waiting.
