King Yan has officially accepted the order and led the 30,000 cavalry divisions of the Beiping Dudu Division, the Peiping Dudu Division or Daning Du Division, and the Shanxi Xingdu Division into the grassland.

Although the number is not large, all of them have completed the reform.

That is to say, with Camel City as the core.

A large number of camels carry supplies. Once they encounter an enemy, they will immediately establish a base in the camel city and release their cavalry to fight the enemy. If the enemy attacks, they will use the camel city to defend themselves. This has become the main tactic of the northern armies at present, which is equivalent to fighting on the grassland.

Moving forward with a mobile fortress, in the past, it was necessary to mobilize a large number of infantry and civilians to go deep into the grassland, otherwise the safety of the transportation line could not be ensured. But now with this tactic, we can get rid of infantry and logistics to the maximum extent. After all, cavalry and camel cities can accompany the movement, and those

The supplies carried by camels are enough to support a large-scale battle.

A camel can carry about 400 kilograms of supplies.

And there is no need to carry extra feed.

Of course, you need to bring some just in case, but you can feed enough before leaving.

You can eat grass on the grassland.

They do not have the problem of being cut off from transportation lines.

Even if the enemy tries to intercept them on the grassland, the camels, which can move at the same speed as the cavalry, can quickly retreat.

Of course, you have to raise camels specifically.

So now in the Ming Dynasty, camels are becoming an important material second only to war horses. They are not only raised in large quantities in various pastures, but also purchased in large quantities from those Jisi guards in the Western Regions, especially from King Zhongshun of Hami. As for the camels in his hands,

Most of them are middlemen, exchanged from the current Oara and the Mongolian Khan. Originally, he was poisoned to death by Ghost Lichi in history.

"Yes, people from Huiningwei were borrowed to harvest wheat. These land reclamation teams also planted part of the wheat themselves. However, Huiningwei is divided into households and cannot cooperate like this."

Yang Feng said.

Of course this thing can cut wheat.

But whether harvesting wheat or soybeans, they all require cooperation. Although a harvester only needs one person to drive it, there are several people behind it to assist and transport it, and they are all strong laborers. The military households in Huiningwei are all

The work is divided into households, and there are only a few people in the family. The only ones who can really work are the husband and wife, and at most the parents. They do not have so many supporting vehicles or enough manpower.

Unless several companies cooperate.

But every minute counts when harvesting wheat, so who harvests it first?

This is still a military household, which already has a certain basis for cooperation. If it were farmers, let alone expect them to be able to use it.

Big agriculture needs cooperation.

"A field like yours is like arranging troops in formation!"

Zhang Fu said.

On the vast plain at this moment, harvesters like this are moving slowly, and transport carriages are also constantly going back and forth. They are really like chariots on the battlefield. The reclamation members of the harvesting teams cooperate with each other, and

Like soldiers on the battlefield, there are busy women on the drying grounds behind. Farther away in the residential area, trucks transporting water and food are also driving here, and there are even people under the shade of the trees who specialize in looking after children.

, babies were lying in hammocks.

A reclamation team is a whole.

Every team member is part of the whole.

Everyone has their place.

This is definitely a brand new experience for people in the small farmer era.

"It's almost the same. It's not just agriculture, it's also industry. Collaboration is the future."

Yang Feng said.

"Collaboration can turn into an army the fastest, right?"

Zhang Fu said.

"hehe!"

Yang Feng only haha.

Of course, everyone knows this kind of thing.

After all, the Ming army's guard system can be regarded as a rudimentary collaboration. In a guard house, those who farm, fight, make weapons, treat diseases, and even teach and do business all also work together in a division of labor, but those who farm are indeed

Each plant has its own business, but if it's water conservancy projects, it's also done in a military-style organization led by military officers.

As for the factories and reclamation teams that Yang Feng built over the years, initial disciplines have been completed through cooperation. Of course, troops can be recruited at any time if necessary.

But fortunately, he only does this in remote areas like Huining.

The threat is limited.

"You go back and tell King Yan that even if he sends troops, he still has to celebrate the New Year. At that time, I will go to Kaiping or go directly to Yuerhai to meet him."

Yang Feng said.

He has no interest in going to Peiping now.

Zhu Di had to be fully prepared to send troops, and he had to choose the right time.

Usually it is after the Chinese New Year, that is, just before the beginning of spring, because after the beginning of spring, the nomadic tribes dispersed to go out for grazing, and earlier in the winter, when it was ice and snow, the Ming army could not stand it. This was the only window period when the climate was slightly warmer.

, and the herdsmen have not dispersed yet, then just go straight to a few main wintering pastures.

Fishing Sea is the largest one among them.

Hulunbuir Prairie!

Although it is still minus 30 degrees, it is still better than Coulomb after all.

After losing the Monan Grassland, it was the only place that could be used as a wintering ground.

Zhang Fu didn't say much and continued to admire the scene of semi-mechanized harvesting.

He left Huining immediately.

Although his new position is Tongzhou Guard Commander Tongzhi, Tongzhou Guard, as a subordinate of the Beiping Dusi, is of course also included in this troop transfer. Therefore, after he returns to take office, he will lead the Tongzhou Guard cavalry to join the King of Yan's sweep.

Beizhong. And Yang Feng continued to complete his harvest in Huining. The 50,000 acres of soybeans in the entire reclamation area were all harvested and transported to the warehouse in Huining City before winter came. What is needed next is a long wait.

After winter has passed, the ships are then loaded onto ships and flowed down the Songhua River. While transporting to the Whale Sea Guard here, ships sailing from the south will also sail to this city, which can be said to be the northernmost city in the Ming Dynasty.

The transfer is completed there.

Finally, we will arrive in Jiangnan next winter.

Of course, Yang Feng didn't have to worry about this, he left in the twelfth lunar month.
Chapter completed!
