When it came to making the scimitar, Liu Feng naturally had his own considerations and arrangements.
After this battle with the Hebei barbarians, Liu Feng has realized an important problem.
That is the problem of the differentiation of cavalry.
To put it simply, we must not let Liu Lang and his wolf cavalry finish all the tasks.
No matter how powerful Liu Lang and his men are, they are still human beings, and sometimes they are too busy to handle everything.
Moreover, in this battle, the wolf cavalry lost seven people. The reason for their death was simple: the horses could not bear it and died of exhaustion first.
As a cavalryman, without a warhorse, it is a death sentence.
The current wolf cavalry are all equipped with war horses raised in stables, and their combat effectiveness is no match for the Northern Barbarian war horses.
The breeding of new horses is still ongoing. Once they are bred, all the wolf cavalry will be replaced with them.
Wolf cavalry have too many advantages. Not only are they fearless and brave, they are also powerful in combat. Most importantly, they have abundant physical strength, which is twice or even more than that of ordinary nobles.
The most suitable person for such a person is to train him into an Iron Flotilla.
They were armed with broadswords, long spears, and iron horses, and on the battlefield they were like sharp swords that could tear apart all formations.
In addition, he also needed a light cavalry with excellent riding skills. The standard weapon Liu Feng prepared for the light cavalry was a scimitar.
The scimitar has more advantages than the horizontal sword. When attacking on horseback, the horizontal sword is far less smooth than the scimitar. In the simplest terms, it is effortless to kill the enemy.
In this way, the combat effectiveness of light cavalry can be improved to the greatest extent and most effectively while maintaining its mobility advantage.
If Liu Feng successfully makes the musket in the later stage, the light cavalry can be upgraded to dragoons.
By then, if the northern barbarians dare to attack, they will be directly crushed by the technological gap.
However, Liu Feng wanted to use this first scimitar himself, and he watched it being forged bit by bit.
When the horizontal sword is forged, Liu Feng plans to find a place to sell it. Now he has to support so many people and life is difficult.
There are more than a thousand Tiger Roar Army soldiers. How much food do they need to consume every day for food and feed for horses?
Liu Feng's family fortune cannot withstand such endless consumption.
While thinking about what to do next, I had already reached the horse farm.
At this moment, Wang Dingliu came rushing over and blocked Liu Feng's way.
"Village chief, the people from the Salt and Iron Transport Office have arrived."
Liu Feng frowned. Salt and Iron Transport Office?
In fact, after Liu Feng took charge of the iron ore, the salt and iron envoy from the Salt and Iron Transportation Office came once.
However, Liu Feng was busy fighting with Gao Lufeng at that time and did not see it.
After that, facing the massive attack from the northern barbarians, the Salt and Iron Envoy never came again.
We had just repelled the northern barbarians when the salt and iron envoy arrived.
You really know how to pick the time.
"Where are they?"
"We've already arrived at the mine, but I haven't seen your people yet. Who's getting mad at you?"
Wang Dingliu smiled bitterly.
"I'll be there now."
The iron ore was handed over to Liu Feng for management. The salt and iron envoy came once, but Liu Feng, the supervisor, was not there, so it is understandable that he was angry.
When he came for the first time, the Salt and Iron Envoy had already surveyed the iron ore in Siwa Village. This time he came to check the account books and see the progress of mining.
There is a salt and iron envoy at the mine now, and there is also an accountant who is sent to stay at the mine to manage the account books. Liu Feng asked Lin Xiaoxi to send some people to guard the mine.
Of course, the account book is not managed by the accountant alone. Mu Wanqing will go there regularly to do the accounting.
The iron ore mining team is composed of dozens of laborers sent from Tianyong City and more than a dozen villagers from Siwa Village, so Liu Feng has little to do with the iron ore matters.
In any case, all the iron ore mined will be handed over and finally distributed to Tianyong City. The powerful ones will keep a part of it, and a part will be given to Liu Feng to support the construction of the Tiger Roar Army.
Although Liu Feng has not yet obtained any iron ore, this is the process.
Since that's the case and he can't just stay, why should he care?
Liu Feng ran over and soon saw a large area of thatched houses and wooden houses built around the iron ore.
These thatched huts were where the laborers lived. A man in official clothes was loudly scolding the accountant sent by the Tianyong City prefectural government.
After Liu Feng dismounted, he walked up with a smile.
"I greet Mr. Zhou, the Salt and Iron Commissioner."
At this time, Zhou Wanggui was holding the account book in his hand and knocking on the accountant's head. When he heard other voices, he immediately turned around with an angry look.
"You are Liu Feng."
"Master Liu is not an official, but he is very busy."
"It's rare that I've never seen what Master Liu looks like before."
"Lord Liu, by doing this, aren't you afraid that I will punish you for dereliction of duty?"
Although the Salt and Iron Envoy was not a high-ranking official, he held the government's lifeline, so officials from all over the country did not dare to offend him.
After all, the Salt and Iron Envoys had too many special powers in their hands, and above them was the imperial court. Moreover, for such a lucrative job, every small Salt and Iron Envoy had a high-ranking official of the imperial court backing him up.
So generally no one dares to offend these people.
"No."
Liu Feng grinned and answered lightly.
In an instant, the salt and iron envoy's eyes widened, as if he had heard some great news.
How dare someone talk to him like that?
This is more than just arrogance, it is arrogance to the extreme.
"Well, you're really brave. You're really brave."
"I don't care who you belong to. Today I will punish you for neglecting your duties and failing to supervise your family properly."
"Sir, the Salt and Iron Commissioner, I am not timid, but I am not at the mines, but everything there is developing steadily."
"Besides, I have other things to do."
Liu Feng's answer was flawless.
"Other matters, what could be bigger than the mine incident? Why would you abandon the mine and leave?"
Zhou Wanggui was so angry at Liu Feng that he laughed. He threw the account book in his hand at the accountant's face and then looked at Liu Feng.
"I just don't believe it."
"Master Zhou, there are many things that are a thousand times, ten thousand times more important than the mine."
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Liu Feng's lips.
"Bullshit, the most important thing in the entire Youzhou right now is the war."
"Did you lead the troops to repel the northern barbarians?"
"That's ridiculous."
Zhou Wanggui squinted his eyes with a look of disdain.
Liu Feng continued to smile without saying anything, then stood up straight, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Zhou Wanggui very confidently.
Seeing this scene, the smile on Zhou Wanggui's face suddenly froze, and the atmosphere became indescribably weird.
When the anchor saw Zhou Wanggui looking at him, he could only answer with a smile.
"In reply to Lord Zhou, it was General Liu and the warriors of the Tiger Roar Army who repelled the Northern Barbarian army."
"Although Lord Liu is only the commander of Xinhedu, he is also the general of the Tiger Roar Army."
"In the battle of Tianyong City, it was General Liu who led his 1,000 Tiger Roaring Soldiers to turn the tide, defeating over 6,000 enemies with just 1,000 men."
