There was a heavy infantry in the Ming Dynasty, which was the miners' battalion that shocked the world in the Battle of Hengdian. He used heavy infantry to defeat the heavy cavalry of Qin. With the support of long-range weapons, they defeated the Qin iron armored cavalry led by Deng Su in one battle, thus establishing the title of the first infantry of the Ming Dynasty.

This heavy infantry has only 5,000 people, but the entire miner's battalion has more than 10,000 people, half of which are auxiliary soldiers. In fact, such heavy infantry are iron cans, and the heavy armor on their bodies and weapons exceeds more than 100 kilograms. They cannot wear such heavy armor by themselves. They must use the help of auxiliary soldiers to put on such heavy armor. Once they are put on, they can only stand up straight or advance forward. Once they fall down, they will never be able to get up by themselves.

Such a heavy infantry is as solid as a rock when defending and as a mountain when attacking, but there are strict restrictions on the use of them, unless they are forced to launch a desperate charge on themselves, or forced to face their attack head-on in order to maximize their role.

But the method to defeat them is very simple. If they lose the protection of light cavalry or other light infantry, a light cavalry will be enough to drag them to death alive, and no one can fight with such heavy armor for a long time.

Therefore, since the Battle of Hengdian, the miners' battalion has become a garrison in the Central War Zone. It is stationed outside Yuejing and rarely attacks. Their personnel have dropped from the initial 5,000 to 3,000.

Qin Feng did not attach great importance to such heavy armored soldiers. Deng Su did not break through the 5,000 heavy infantry led by Lu Feng, which made him subconsciously believe that this kind of iron armored cavalry was not very useful.

"Your Majesty, only our Ming Dynasty has heavy infantry like Lu Feng. If there were no such heavy infantry, other troops would encounter heavy cavalry in the head-on collision, and the chance of survival was actually very small. Next, we had a tough battle in Shangjing City. Five hundred thousand Chu troops could not be hiding in the city. The decisive battle outside the city must be repeated. Zhang Wenshi felt that forming such a heavy cavalry could help us easily win in the field."

"I heard that, the kitten has formed such a unit?" Qin Feng asked.

Quan Yun nodded: "One Thousand People. Zhang's Ministry of War has selected tall war horses in Qingzhou and carefully selected a thousand soldiers from the Qin people. It has been more than half a year of training. The armor they need has been made. Thanks to the significant improvement in the iron smelting technology in Xintong, the soldiers' armor has been reduced by 20 kilograms, which has greatly improved their endurance."

"Since it has been formed, let them try it, but there can't be more, one thousand people, enough." Qin Feng nodded.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Quan Yun nodded. "One thousand people can't cost much."

"You are so rich now. You dare to say this two years ago?" Qin Feng laughed. "Why did I press the miner's battalion in Yuejing? It was because they were too expensive when they were on the move. A heavy infantry is enough for me to raise a light cavalry, and the light cavalry can play a wider role. The consumption of a heavy cavalry is at least enough for me to raise several light cavalry."

"It's just a thousand people. Zhang's efforts to work hard will not give you any face." Quan Yun smiled. "If this time it can play a huge role in the Battle of Shangjing, then we can appropriately retain such a force among the armed forces of various groups for the purpose of rushing into the formation."

"That's it, the prime minister, I'm about to leave Yuejing and go to Jinghu. In China, I'll ask the prime minister."

"Can't the Queen stay?" Quan Yun asked carefully. "There is always someone in Yuejing City."

Qin Feng shook his head: "No need to say this anymore. Xi'er must be going to the capital. Not only did she want to go, but Xiao Wen and Xiaowu also want to go. This is Xi'er's request."

"I understand. Your Majesty can go there with confidence. The old minister will definitely guard the local area for Your Majesty."

"There is actually not a big suspense about the Battle of Chu. The prime minister only needs to ensure smooth logistics supply. The focus is on the domestic market. Now it is spring sowing, and people misplace the land for a while, and people misplace people for a year. It is absolutely unwilling to be careless. Chu State recruited young and strong people to join the army on a large scale, and a large number of fields were abandoned. After this war, there is no doubt that Chu State will usher in a large-scale famine. It is easy to fight, but it will be much more difficult to comfort after the war. In this regard, we must also be prepared. Wherever the Ming army passes, we must not only supply the needs of the army, but also provide sufficient food and other types of materials to ensure local stability. At the fastest speed, the newly conquered land will stabilize."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Political Affairs Hall has been preparing for this matter for the past year. Geng Jingming of the Ministry of Revenue and Fang Dazhi of the Ministry of Personnel are leading the way to deal with this matter. Wang Yueyao of the Department of Commerce has also mobilized all chambers of commerce to prepare."

Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction. It was obviously not enough to rely on the power of the country alone. The merchants joined in. In order to compete for the huge market, the merchants were not afraid to make large-scale investments in the early stage. They were reluctant to let their children go to trap the wolf. Now the merchants in the Ming Dynasty understood this thoroughly. The Chu people in Chu were rich, and they were now in trouble, just because their monarch was incompetent and officials were incompetent. Once they were under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the rich land would be full of vitality. The commercial opportunities contained in that land were not comparable to those in the poor western land. Just look at those who entered the western land now, they made a fortune. You can imagine how much profit they would have in the future.

Eunuch Le walked in lightly and interrupted the comments between Qin Feng and Quan Yun. "Your Majesty, the commander of the Eagle Nest, Tian Kang, asked for a meeting, saying that if there is an urgent matter, you must report it to Your Majesty immediately."

"Let him come in." Qin Feng nodded.

Tian Kang strode in, his face full of anger and frustration.

"Your Majesty, the last general is dereliction of duty, the eagle is broken." Tian Kang knelt down and said dejectedly.

"What?" Quan Yun was shocked and stood up suddenly.

Qin Feng closed his eyes the moment he heard this, and then opened it again after a while, looking at Tian Kang calmly and said, "How much is the loss?"

"Before Tuobayan rebelled, I, the Ming soldiers in his army, left. He gave Murong Hai and the others a day, but Murong Hai and others were in the heart of Qi. It was very difficult for more than 800 people to break through the many obstacles and return to the Ming Dynasty. As far as the network set up by the Eagle Nest in Chang'an is known, the losses were heavy, and there were seven or eight out of ten times. Except for some nails hidden deep and never started, the rest were forced to evacuate. However, the difficulties they faced were as difficult as Murong Hai's rough appearance, and it was afraid that it would be difficult to escape the pursuit of ghosts." Tian Kang said sadly.

"What are the remedies for Eagle's Nest?"

"Eagle Nest has ordered all forces in Qi State to help these people escape, hoping to save more people back." Tian Kang said.

"Don't!" Quan Yun was furious: "Tian Kang, is your brain watering? What kind of person is Cao Hui? How could you issue such an order? I dare to conclude that Cao Hui will not only focus on these people, but will follow these people and monitor their every move. Anyone who helps these people will inevitably be discovered by Cao Hui and uprooted, and the order will be immediately revoked. In the territory of Qi, all the people, I, the Ming spies, are not allowed to take action. If you have already taken action, you must quickly cut off all contact with other people."

Tian Kang's face changed color and the divine eagle broke the line, which made him confused for a while. At this time, he was woken up by Quan Yun's words, and then he suddenly woke up.

"I will be confused. After I go back, I will immediately issue an order, and all spies in Qi's territory will go to sleep deeply."

"Tian Kang, I still remember that Commander Guo had expressed concerns about the Condor Heroes. Since he married Guo's daughter, Commander Guo said that he would prevent the possibility of disconnection. Has the Eagle Nest not made corresponding plans?" Qin Feng frowned.

Tian Kang looked ashamed: "Your Majesty, it's my fault. The Condor Heroes never showed any abnormality. After entering Chang'an, our people had contact with him and did not find any abnormality. However, this happened in just a few days, which really caught us off guard."

Qin Feng sighed, Quan Yun was full of anger: "Tian Kang, the heroic spirit of Commander Guo is not far away, you can put him in shame."

Tian Kang touched the ground with his forehead: "Your Majesty, I know that I am guilty of my crime, please punish me."

"Reduce the second level and keep it!" Qin Feng exhaled a breath of turbid air." Murong Hai and the others, it depends on their luck. I hope they can come back a few more. What are you going to do next?"

"Your Majesty, the betrayer must die. This is the iron rule of the eagle's nest. The eagle and falcon is ready to go. No matter how many difficulties there are, it will inevitably take the life of Tuobayan." Tian Kang raised his head, "I want to ask for an order to go to Qi State in person."

"You are the commander of the Eagle's Nest, not the suicide squad." Qin Feng said angrily: "Tuobayan is an excellent general, and Cao Hui is also a big expert in spy detectives. You are sending people now. I dare to say how much you go and how much you die. This matter is temporarily abandoned, Xu Tu's plan."

"I obey the order." Tian Kang nodded in annoyance: "Your Majesty, this person has another sister in the Ming Dynasty. He lives in Yuejing City and has been under the control of the Eagle Nest. Since Tuobayan is disregarding family affection, we don't need to show mercy to his subordinates."

"A woman, if you arrest or kill, what impact will it have on this matter? Since Tuobayan dares to do this, he is naturally prepared to kill people and vent his anger. This will only deepen his hatred for us. Send someone to tell his sister the actual situation and let her choose. If she wants to find his brother, send someone to escort them to Qi State. If they are willing to stay in Ming State, then follow her and there is no need to monitor it."

"Your Majesty, how can he be so cheap?"

"Can you have any other effect if you kill her besides giving her anger?" Qin Feng asked back.

"Yes, your Majesty."
