Chapter 849: The new teacher, the decadent dynasty
Chapter 849: Newly fostered troops, corrupt dynasty, why bother with foreign countries
Cement floors are conducive to cleaning and disinfection, and houses made of bricks and tiles are very ventilated and warm, including feed storage and transportation and horse quarantine. Shen Mo has made corresponding arrangements.
After that, the entire ship of war horses started to ship from Tongzhou and were continuously transported to the Danluo Kingdom.
Among these horses, the most elite one is of course the Arab war horses transported by Hu Shang Apu. The number of these war horses is increasing at a rapid speed with time.
Because Apu's products now transported from the Song Dynasty to countries around the world are mainly silk and porcelain. These bulk cargoes occupy a large part of the capacity of the cabin.
When Apu's fleet returned, most of the items from all over the world brought back were mainly gems and incense medicine, and the size of these things was not large.
In this case, Apusuo followed Shen Mo's instructions and filled all vacant positions with high-quality Arab war horses. In this way, Shen Mo already had nearly 700 extremely exquisite Arab war horses on his hands.
However, a large part of these horses will be left for the purpose of stallion breeding, so these Arab war horses cannot actually be used for combat.
In addition, Shen Mo also had nearly 10,000 Xixia Hequ war horses seized on the battlefield of Lizhou Road.
These Hequ horses are tall and strong, with a large load capacity and strong durability. Although they are a little violent, they are the favorite type of heavy cavalry troops.
The war horses used by Shen Mo's current cavalry are basically the best selected from these Hequ war horses.
After that, there were 20,000 to 30,000 Mongolian horses seized from the Battle of the Jin Kingdom.
These war horses can withstand the severe cold and are extremely resistant to rough feeding. Their toughness and durability are unparalleled. Although they are a little smaller, they are also an excellent breed.
Shen Mo's future troops have great requirements for transportation of supplies and equipment, so this kind of Mongolian horse will naturally become the first choice for these transport troops to use horses.
After Shen Mo transported the war horses he had on Danluo Island, he then asked his officials who specialize in raising horses to breed and breed according to the plan he provided.
It can be imagined that the descendants of the two excellent horse breeds, Arab war horses and Hequ horses, must be an extremely excellent war horse breed.
If the descendants of Mongolian horses and Hequ horses can have the huge size and load capacity of Hequ horses, and the hard-working characteristics of Mongolian horses, then such breeds will definitely be a crucial force for Shen Mo's army.
...
After finishing his own affairs, Shen Mo also made some arrangements for the affairs on Danluo Island.
He left behind two teachers as tutors to the royal family, Gao Ruolang and Gao Ruolshun, who taught them to learn culture, poetry, etc. At the same time, he also trained them on knowledge such as how to govern the country.
On the other hand, Shen Mo arranged special instructors to train and manage them by Shen Mo.
Although these official slaves cannot be said to have very high qualities, they are at least good at working hard and endurance.
It can be imagined that with the help of the instructor group sent by Shen Mo, their combat effectiveness will be much stronger than that of the Goryeo Army on the other side with a little training.
After that, Shen Mo arranged everything here and immediately took his people back to Tongzhou.
In the original plan, he was also planning to leave troops on Danluo Island and station a navy in the island port for a long time to prepare for the counterattack of the Goryeo Dynasty.
But then, what he said to Cheng Wuyou asked him to put this aside in advance.
According to Cheng Wuyou's words: putting people here now is a waste of military power.
Because if the Goryeo Dynasty wanted to counterattack Danluo, they would be afraid that by this time next year, they might not be able to send troops to kill him!
In this time, the king was actually a decoration. The person in charge of being the master of the Cui clan was Cui Yi, a martial official from the Cui clan.
The power of the Goryeo Cui family in the court is equivalent to Cao Cao and Emperor Xian of Han in the Three Kingdoms era.
This Cui Yi was born as a military general. Yu Yin, who took over his father Cui Zhongxian, took over the country's power, but he was short-sighted and could not say that he had any talent.
Although Cui Yi has many troops in his hands, these troops are of course used to protect his own interests. In Cui Yi's view, the interests of the country have little to do with him.
This situation is really ironic. The military strength of the entire country is in the hands of a military general, but Cui Yi feels that these armed forces must not be used to fight against foreigners!
In this case, according to Cheng Wuyou's words, it will take at least two months before they discover the fact that Jeju Island has changed hands.
After that, they discussed how to deal with this matter, and it would take a long time for them to argue.
Even after four or five months, they decided to send troops to Danluo, and it was still a big problem to draw which unit to come.
According to the information Cheng Wuyou learned, the wage arrears in these troops of Goryeo were extremely serious.
You usually owe others a few months of salary. When you really go to the battlefield to fight, do you want to use them if you don’t have money?
Therefore, if they want to use military service to the Danluo Kingdom, this "execution fee" is probably absolutely indispensable and cannot be saved.
After that, Goryeo also had to prepare food and ships, and it was inevitable that it would have to fight the issue of spending money.
So according to Cheng Wuyou's calculations, Danluo is now at least able to rest assured within ten months. If Shen Mo wants to prepare for the war, he can go home and celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival first and come again after the Dragon Boat Festival.
After hearing Cheng Wuyou's analysis, Shen Mo also felt that the monarch and ministers of the Goryeo Dynasty were really incredible. So he listened to Cheng Wuyou's opinion and drove home first.
...
After Shen Mo's army left Danluo, everything on the island seemed to have returned to normal. However, the lives of the residents on the island were quietly changing.
Those people who were usually exploited by tax collectors have now received orders from the king of Danluo:
All taxes will be exempted within three years and all harsh taxes will be permanently abolished. The land tax and seafood tax will be reduced in half in the future and will never be increased!
