After listening to this, Zhao Ming was also ready to train his brothers.
Although they have experienced many battles, the brothers of the Zhensong Army can be considered elite in any cavalry team these days.
But the weaknesses are also obvious. They are not good at riding and shooting, and they are good in hand-to-hand combat, but they are not in the first echelon and are much worse than the Ma Jiajun in the northwest.
If there are any weaknesses, then make up for them. It just so happens that a lot of herdsmen have been integrated at the moment, and these people also need to be trained.
"Master Zhao! The situation of those herdsmen has been calculated."
Just then Wang Er trotted over. Unlike the monkey who was illiterate, Wang Er could still count.
"explain!"
"Master Zhao, there are twenty-two tribes in total including Huozhongtun and Pingqiantun. Among them, there are 1,100 string masters. Excluding some women, there are 800 string masters.
If we exclude those who are too old and too young, there will be only 600 people who can control strings.
But Mr. Zhao, all the tribes are reacting now. They have just migrated here, and many things require the strong labor of the tribe to take care of. Look at this training..."
Wang Er suggested in a low voice. After all, many tribes have not yet set up their tents, and they are about to go through the winter. They are in urgent need of preparing things for the winter, and they are simply too busy.
Zhao Ming also took this into consideration, thought for a while and said, "Rotate these six hundred people, three hundred today, and another three hundred tomorrow.
There must be intensive training, and tribes with food shortages told them not to worry.
Since we are all part of the Chabei United Department from now on, I, the field director, will definitely be responsible to the end. "
Waving his hand, Zhao Ming asked Wang Er to go over and appease the herdsmen.
They originally wanted to rob the rich and give to the poor, but it didn't work out because these tribes didn't have much leftover food.
Some were okay, but some were really miserable, even though they helped the Maoming'an and Darkhan tribes trade.
But the bulk of it was taken away by these two movies. It was these two movies that made my mouth full of oil, and I could only drink some soup and water at the bottom.
And this kind of trade is not without risks. Every time I go to a strange place like Rehe, it is normal to encounter gangsters and even robbers.
The arms dealers in Rehe won't care so much. If your goods don't arrive, we won't pay compensation.
But Zhao Ming has already thought of how to keep everyone fed.
But the calm that followed was a bit unusual.
After the conflict that night, the two units in the north showed no reaction at all. Maoming Anbu seemed to have suffered the dumb loss by default, and there was no response.
The more this happened, the more uneasy Zhao Ming became.
Neither department even sent anyone to ask for an explanation. As the saying goes, the biting dog never barks. The more times like this, the more uneasy it is.
For ten consecutive days, there was still no incident.
Zhao Ming led his brothers for training every day, and the ones who made the fastest progress were the brothers who suppressed the Song Army.
They had unconditional trust in Zhao Ming, but there were not many of them anymore. After several fights, the three hundred people were reduced to two hundred. The skin on their faces became no different from that of the grassland herdsmen. Their faces were all chapped and red. Zhao Ming No exception.
After ten days of training, this simple technique of kicking and dragging the knife is pretty good, but the timing is a little bit inferior, but it is enough.
It is these herdsmen who really pull their hips, and the reason is very simple.
First, they are repulsed and do not have a sense of belonging in their hearts, which is naturally slower than what they learned here. Second, they seem to be used to the loose and loose fighting style, preferring to shoot freely. In short, they are far more passionate about archery. Super use of knives and stuff like that.
Zhao Ming had no choice but to ask Wang Er and other soldiers from the Song Suppressing Army to help train this group of people's group charge and formation capabilities.
He didn't want his men to become a ragtag group of people.
Although he usually likes to joke that he is just a bunch of rabble, he can't really play like this.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the time has come to the beginning of October. The air flow from everyone can see thick fog even in the daytime.
Early in the morning, you can even see the fog that fills the grassland in the distance from time to time. The advantage is that there are fewer mosquitoes, but the disadvantage is that it is a bit difficult to bear.
Fortunately for the herdsmen, their animal skin jackets were very good at keeping out the cold, but Zhensong Army and Zhao Ming's cotton-padded jackets were not.
But I haven’t seen Boss Guo here for a long time today.
"Long time no see, Sir Zhao!" Boss Guo gave Zhao Ming a big hug as soon as he arrived.
After they separated, they casually pulled off the cover of a cart behind them.
"Sir Zhao, I got you what you asked for. This stuff is not easy to get. I begged my grandpa and grandma to get you so many sets of this stuff within the specified time."
Zhao Ming's eyes lit up when he saw the objects on the cart, he finally got it!
What's on this cart is not some bullet ordnance thing.
Not to mention automated weapons, light machine guns and the like, because Boss Guo made it clear that such things are also controlled items in their Northeast and are difficult to obtain.
At first glance, the cart was filled with cotton-padded clothes, but when Zhao Ming picked them up, he felt that they were old and heavy.
A piece of clothing weighs no less than ten kilograms, and with pants and hat, it weighs no less than thirty kilograms!
It looks like a piece of fat cotton-padded jacket on the outside, very bloated, and seems to be filled with a lot of things, but the joints are very slender, which obviously does not affect joint movement.
"Mr. Zhao, your request is really extraordinary. There are no factories that can do this kind of craftsmanship these days. I spent a lot of money to find some old craftsmen to put those things in for you.
Even so, I was pressed for time and had to get these 100 sets. It would be too late for more. "
Boss Guo said with a look of pain on his face. I don’t have enough time, and I can’t afford it if I subsidize it in advance. It’s too expensive.
The reason for this is naturally because these cotton-padded clothes look like fat cotton-padded jackets, but in fact it is because this special girl is made of cotton armor similar to the previous dynasty.
"However, Commander Zhao, I didn't cut corners. The outer layer of this cotton coat is made of old hard cotton. This kind of cotton is pressed very thickly and has strong unloading force.
The kind of chain mail you requested is inlaid into the inside. I can't get the chain mail, but I had someone use some iron wire to make a mesh and inlay it in.
But for fear of affecting the activities, barbed wire was not placed everywhere. It was only wrapped around the chest, abdomen, back, arms, thighs, and the hat.
There are several layers of cattle batches sandwiched in the middle, and a layer of hard cotton is sandwiched inside.
I specially asked someone to try this thing. You can rest assured that the quality is very good. I used Hanyang to break it, but the unloading force is very strong. After the bullet is embedded, it is estimated that as long as the shooting distance is not too close, any man will have no problem resisting it. No.
And I also got you a hundred sets of the iron sheets you asked for. "
As he spoke, Boss Guo pulled back the cover of another cart, revealing a large piece of iron that shone with metallic luster.
This kind of iron piece also has the kind of cloth traction, um... the shape is like a piece of iron piece bellyband, which can at most cover the chest and upper abdomen, but the iron piece has holes in the four corners. , these holes are connected in series with ropes, which can be tied to the human body like a bellyband.
