Chapter 866 Ningzhou Great Victory
After this actual combat, artillery played a role. The advantages and disadvantages are obvious. If the muskets developed in the future cannot meet the requirements of attack distance, then cold weapons will still be in the dominant position.
Unless there is enough artillery support, it really won't change anything.
The development speed at the current good industrial level is already very fast, and their current equipment is enough to support Youzhou's defense for war.
Li De was not panicked when he had a clear mind. He thought that the next focus should be on the dock.
The Youzhou Shipyard's long-distance warship project should be accelerated, and the development of marine resources can also bring more benefits.
During the period when He Bida led his troops to pursue the enemy, Li De thought about a lot of things, the development of his power, and the deployment of his troops.
The vanguard soldiers pursued Mobei for half a month before they transferred back 150,000 cavalrymen, and the remaining 50,000 cavalrymen continued to pursue.
The 150,000 cavalry who just returned came back mainly to get supplies, and their battle will last for a long time.
He Bida personally led the team to pursue the Turkic cavalry, in fact, their ultimate goal was to bring all the supplies from the Turkic garrison.
In order to continue fighting, 150,000 soldiers and horses were the carriers of supplies. When they went to meet with He Bida again, it was the time for 200,000 cavalry to go on an expedition.
The forces in the northern desert must be clear that they also targeted the Western Turks. Of course, whether they could carry out an expedition lies in whether they could supply those Turks.
Li De was just looking forward to this, which was the ultimate goal of formulating a strategy, and completely drove the Turks out of the northern desert.
The incident in Ningzhou was spread more or less by the caravans, and they all came to collect the spoils.
They don’t know more about it, they only know that the vanguard of Ningzhou won the battle, and the spoils are the best evidence.
All the people in Ningzhou returned to their usual life. They knew that Ningzhou was safe, the workshop continued to start construction and the city continued to operate.
Li De has been taking the city guards to patrol the city in recent times, and it is necessary to go to Ningzhou to check the situation in the city.
In addition to agricultural planting, the breeding industry has also developed very well.
With pastures and herders, the number of cattle, sheep and horses has continued to increase. Speaking of which, these are related to Li De's strategy of rest and recuperation.
However, slaughtering has been used for breeding in recent years, and the breeding industry has developed. Of course, this cannot be separated from the fact that the Youzhou forces have been in a stable state.
The vanguard soldiers have no fighting momentum and the consumption of horses is relatively small.
It can be said that Ningzhou's breeding industry is a super-large breeding, and as long as it doubles, it will be a very large number.
At the same time, there are many people in the breeding industry, and the entire Mobei ranch belongs to them, so it is impossible for the Turks to retake Mobei.
Li De would not give up such a good place, nor would he leave a crisis for Ningzhou's development.
"Grandmaster, it was counted that this ammunition consumption was three-fifths, including three large artillery bombs, with a total loss of 120,000 guan."
Li De had a number in his mind that was similar to his expectations. It was not surprising that the explosion was done, and it was considered to be a test under the extreme state.
The losses are a bit big, and the horses collected are still profitable. The seized war horses have been put on the farm, and the reports of these horses are worth the investment in this battle.
He really doesn't care if he's just 120,000 yuan.
The Youzhou forces are full of local tyrants. So much money is just the money for ammunition. If the military and horse food pay is included, it is better to reward and provide pensions.
You should know that the benefits of the vanguard soldiers are the highest in the Sui Kingdom, and the troops used this time may cost at least one hundred million guan.
Grease oil is a huge expense, I believe no one will fight such a rich man.
For Li De, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem. What's wrong with a hundred million guan? The current income of the horse has exceeded three times the expenditure.
Don’t forget that He Bida has not come back, maybe there may be surprises.
The cannon fired and the gold was worth ten thousand.
Li De has begun to prepare to use half of his money to develop Liaobei. Only one Ningzhou is not enough. He thinks that the power can develop northward.
Tribes such as Tiel, Uighur, etc. extend.
At present, their power maintains trade relations with Ningzhou. As a major customer of grain exports, they want to become dependent.
Let them all become migrant workers of Youzhou forces.
The current trade with northern tribes is mainly based on food, and they will exchange fur and medicinal products from the mountains and forests.
Items that are easy to walk in northern tribes are very popular. After all, relatively speaking, the conditions for northern tribes are limited and the handicraft industry is underdeveloped.
It should be said that their lives are still in the communication mode between tribes, and they may fight because of some small things.
Since the formation of Ningzhou, their war situation has been much less, because with the effort to get more money from Ningzhou, they can get money from Ningzhou.
The textile industry in Ningzhou Workshop needs this material to be processed. Only the wealthy master can enjoy the wool made into a wool sweater.
It is also a popular item for the nobles.
Because it is not only light in clothes but also has the effect of resisting cold, the business has always been very good. It can be said that Ningzhou's business development has always been very good.
After Li De learned about it, he felt that he could attack the northern tribes, and the large tribes had no chance to win over those small tribes.
It starts by providing them with work.
There is a shortage of people in Ningzhou.
"The Turks were driven out of the northern desert by the Ningzhou victory."
This issue of newspapers delivered to various prefectures was two months later, and it was the autumn harvest season.
Full of harvest.
"The 300,000 Turkic soldiers retreated to the Western Regions like this, and the vanguard used 200,000 people. How did they do it?" Li Yuan was surprised when he received the news.
There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the Turkic cavalry. Besides, this time the two sides joined forces, and the number of people is definitely an advantage.
It can be said that if these Turks had led 300,000 troops to attack Chang'an and Luoyang, they might have succeeded, but they were defeated by Ningzhou, which had no city walls.
At this time, Li Yuan was wondering whether it was really unnecessary to build a city wall, and he didn't know what he didn't know.
There are many things they don’t know about, such as the Franchise artillery, and the fact that He Bida happened to encounter the withdrawn Turkic supply team while chasing.
The amount of their spoils increased dozens of times at once, and a battle was worthy of the two or three years of taxes in Youzhou City.
How much profit can support the engineering team to build another Youzhou City.
The inventory in Youzhou was replenished again, and nearly 300,000 guan was used up to reward 200,000 soldiers.
