Chapter 207 Euphorbia (2/3)
Zhang Chun started the rebellion in Youbeiping, which was northeast of Youzhou, and Shanggu was northwest of Youzhou.
There is also Gongsun Zan in the middle.
So Fang Mu doesn't have to worry about Zhang Chun attracting trouble for the time being.
Then the next step is to pacify the internal affairs of Shanggu County.
Fang Mu's eyes flashed.
There are now two directions, one is the Hu people and the other is the local powerful family.
The aristocratic family of Shanggu County is nothing to the entire Zhonghan, but they still have a certain identity in Youzhou.
These families are close to each other and have dense relationships like spider webs.
Although Fang Mu joined forces with Liu Yu, he did not really think of being a dog for Liu Yu. If he attacked the aristocratic family now, it would be easy to trigger the sensitive nerves of the local aristocratic family.
His own Fang family was originally a family in Xinsong. It is precisely because of this that he knew how much influence these families were.
The inheritance of a family for decades and hundreds of years is not a joke.
How miserable the many talented and wise emperors in history have been tormented by the big interest group of the aristocratic family.
However, Da Yong should not have many aristocratic families at present. Fang Mu knew that in order to pave the way for him, his father is now cleaning up the aristocratic families in Da Yong. I heard that it is a big fuss.
The moving family needs to find the right opportunity, Fang Mu thought,
Now we still need to rely on the power of the aristocratic families.
So let's deal with the Hu people for the time being.
Anyway, no one will say it is not to deal with the Hu people.
"Full investigation into the gathering places of Hu people in Shanggu County and count the number of Hu people." Fang Mu issued an order.
The results obtained after the counting were not beyond Fang Mu's expectations.
There are hundreds of Hu people gathering in Shanggu County, with more than 100,000 Hu people.
These are just the Hu people who passed the city wall. There are several larger Wuhuan tribes with ten thousand people on the grassland north of the city wall.
The total number of Hu people in Shanggu County is close to 200,000.
It is almost the same as the number of Han people.
I had heard that the Hu people in the north were cruel, but now I finally know the reason. With so many Hu people, is Shanggu County a Han Dynasty Shanggu County or Shanggu County a Hu country?
Moreover, the Hu people are very cruel.
Even the Hu people who lived in the Central Han Dynasty were wild. Because of this, the people in Youzhou border were brave, because wolves could live in groups, and sheep could not mingle with wolves.
The Hu people Fang Mu will deal with it, but not now.
Even if he wants to deal with the Hu people, he has to find a suitable opportunity. After finding the right opportunity, he will wipe out it out in one fell swoop.
No one can say that it is wrong above righteousness.
So Fang Mu asked his generals to train the army.
He remembered that Gao Shun had a very good training camp. He trained more than 700 people in the camp, named 1,000 people, and his armor was exquisite and neat. Every attack was broken, and he was brave and good at fighting. This army had defeated Liu Bei, who had Guan and Zhang.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's bravery are all powerful generals throughout the ages. They can compete with less than a thousand people against Guan and Zhang, and the elite troops in the camp can be called the leader of the Three Kingdoms.
Even Zhang He's halberd soldiers, Qu Yi's first-row dead soldiers, Gongsun Zan's white horse Yicong, Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, Chen Dao's Baili elite soldiers, Meng Hu's vine armor soldiers, Gan Ning's Jinfan army, etc. are all inferior.
In order to enable Gao Shun to train out of the trapped camp, Fang Mu gave him many discounts.
For example, give priority to taking care of the trap camp on weapons and armor.
The armor and weapons in Zhongzhou are forged and light, and the thirty-six refining weapons are the standard military armor standard, and the seventy-two refinings are used by elite troops. It is said that the Xiyuan Army established by Liu Hong used all the seventy-two refining weapons to arm the army.
Although the thirty-six refinements and seventy-two refinements are nominally popular, in fact, the weapons of many soldiers are just ordinary weapons of 10 or 20 refinements, which are far from the standard of thirty-six refinements. After several wars, the weapons have long been rolled or damaged, and the weapons need to be replaced.
The soldiers with hundreds of refining can be called treasure swords and swords, which can be heirloomed treasures worth hundreds of gold. Generally speaking, the generals in the army use hundreds of refining weapons.
The weapons above the hundreds of refinements need to be mixed with some special minerals, such as meteorite and rare metals to forge them.
This level of weapon is called a magic weapon by some people, but it is not actually described as so mysterious.
It is just that the inclusion of some special rare metals makes these weapons have some special effects, which are much harder and more durable than ordinary weapons, and there are also some special effects based on the special ore itself.
For example, some ores are extremely dense, not only extremely hard, but also very heavy.
It is useless to ordinary people, but this kind of ore is very suitable for generals with natural divine power.
There are also special ores that are hard but very soft. This ore is suitable for making soft weapons, such as whips, soft swords, etc.
Although these weapons are rare, they are not that rare.
Because no matter how magical it is, it is just a dead thing, and the most powerful one is the one who controls weapons!
No matter how good a weapon is, it will be killed by someone else's punch. Then the weapon will be someone else's.
Moreover, although these ores are rare, they are not as rare as peerless, so there are many magical weapons circulating in the world.
For example, Yang Zhi's sword is a magic weapon of a mixed ore, which is sharper and harder than ordinary weapons.
For Daying, this so-called "divine weapon" can be mass-produced now.
Several special mineral veins were found in Dayong. In addition, a series of craftsmen from the original Xinsong Dynasty led by the jade-blocked craftsman Jin Dajian, these weapons can be mass-made.
In addition to forging divine weapons, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works of Daye increased their firepower to create large quantities of weapons.
Fang Mu had already sent someone to contact Da Yong. In a few months, the first batch of 2,000 pairs of 72-refined soldiers would come from Xinsong Yun.
These soldiers will be given priority to the trap camp, and the remaining ones will be allocated to other soldiers.
Zhang He got the news from somewhere.
He and Zhang Liaolian came.
"Lord, you can't be more favorable than the other. I can train soldiers and not be more surplus." Zhang He said hurriedly. Although he had commanded many armies, he only had command power and had never really trained his own confidant elite, just like Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness.
"Do you want to train cavalry or infantry?" Fang Mu asked.
Zhang He was stunned, and if he was ready, he had no room for exercise.
"Master, you agree?"
"You just say you want to train cavalry or infantry." Fang Mu repeated.
Zhang He was immediately overjoyed and said quickly: "I want to train an infantryman. There are only more than a thousand people like Gao Shun. I will choose a powerful warrior to fight the cavalry with heavy halberds and armor!" Zhang He said.
Fang Mu thought, isn’t this the prototype of the Euphorbia?
In history, this elliptical soldier and crossbow soldiers almost destroyed the White Horse Yicai.
"Then have you ever named this army?"
"I haven't thought that it's better to give my lord a name." Zhang He said.
If this army can be given a name by the lord, it will be easier for him to ask for supplies from the lord at that time. Zhang He thought silently in his heart.
"Just call it the Euphorbia." Fang Mu said.
He was not ready to change his name either.
Although Zhang He did not become the Hebei Four Courtyard Pillar under Yuan Shao as history, Fang Mu was still not prepared to change the name of the elliptical soldier who defeated the White Horse Yicong in history.
