Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

The bright moon shines on the branches, and the gentle breeze blows in the middle of the night.

The world was silent. Inside Tianran Residence, there was a light on in one room and some vague conversations could be heard faintly.

Jin Meiniang leaned in Zhao Xu's arms, listening to her lover's plans for the future.

"Mei Niang, what do you think of the sand punishment?"

Jin Meiniang felt a little strange when she heard Zhao Xu mention the torture of sand.

"Why did Xulang mention him?"

"Sha Xing is an orphan that Lao Sha has raised since he was a child. He has outstanding abilities and is loyal."

Zhao Xu was not surprised that Jin Meiniang had such an evaluation of the sand punishment.

"Sha Xing is very good at managing Shadow and has a natural talent for leadership."

Jin Meiniang is still very sensitive to some words.

"Captain, Xu Lang wants to form an army?"

Jin Meiniang had never considered such a bold idea as forming an army.

"Mei Niang, you need to have a broader and longer-term vision."

"Although our 'Twelve Hours' is only a start-up, the resources we have now are not to be underestimated. The world is so vast, and we will definitely be involved in greater interests and face stronger opponents in the future."

"The power of individuals and the martial arts world is ultimately limited. Although the Shadow Killer Group is good, it cannot directly compete with the Legion. Therefore, we must have an elite Legion force in our hands."

"The most typical example is the Northern Liang King Xu Xiao who travels the world in our Liyang Dynasty."

Zhao Xu brought up Xu Xiao as an example, and Jin Meiniang fell silent. She thought of the "clothing change plan" that was about to be implemented.

Once this plan succeeds, there will inevitably be many conflicts with various parties in Anguo, and the need for military force will be inevitable.

"What plans does Asahirou have?"

Zhao Xu looked at Jin Meiniang, who was a little worried in his arms, and scratched her nose with his fingers.

"Okay, let's not talk about it tonight. Get some rest and we'll discuss this tomorrow."

As he spoke, he pulled the quilt up.

It was the morning of the next day, in the main hall of Tianranju.

There are still four people in the group, but yesterday's Jia Ling was replaced by Sha Xing.

Ever since Zhao Xu mentioned last night that he wanted to form an elite army, Jin Meiniang couldn't sleep.

He went to "Your Majesty" Ren Xin's room early in the morning to discuss the matter, and sent someone to call Sha Xing to the main hall to wait early.

Compared to Jin Meiniang, Zhao Xu was much calmer and went about his daily routine as usual.

However, after he finished his breakfast, he was inevitably driven to the main hall by Jin Meiniang.

In the main hall, Zhao Xu drank tea calmly, while the other three stared at him with sharp eyes.

"Hey, stop looking at me and just say whatever you think."

Seeing Zhao Xu speak, the three of them withdrew their gazes.

"Mr. Zhao, are you sure you want to form an army?"

Zhao Xu looked at Ren Xin who asked the question.

"Miss Ren, you have experienced many battles before, so you should understand the significance of an elite army."

Hearing Zhao Xu say this, Ren Xin nodded.

"What era is this? On the surface, all countries are maintaining peace, but we all know that this is only temporary. Not to mention other places, just in these nine countries, the next war will not be too far away."

"Whether it's the continued development of the Jinsha Gang or our other plans, there are huge interests involved, and military conflict is inevitable."

The three of them were not ignorant of worldly affairs, so they all understood what Zhao Xu said.

This is a world where the strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive. If you want to control your own destiny, you must hold powerful power.

Seeing that the three of them agreed with him, Zhao Xu stopped talking nonsense and got straight to the point.

"Do you know the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry?"

When they heard Zhao Xu mention the "Great Snow Dragon Cavalry", Ren Xin and Jin Meiniang were both confused, only Sha Xing was a little excited.

"Are you talking about the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, the personal guard of Northern Liang King Xu Xiao in the Liyang Dynasty?"

Seeing that Sha Xing knew, Zhao Xu nodded.

When it comes to the "Great Snow Dragon Cavalry", the two girls don't know it, but when Xu Xiao is mentioned, they know it.

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is the personal army of the Northern Liang King Xu Xiao. Its total strength is only 10,000 men, but it is known as the best cavalry in the world in Liyang.

It is between heavy cavalry and light cavalry. One person is equipped with three first-class war horses. Both the man and the horse are armored. Each person rides two horses and the other is wearing heavy armor.

In wartime, if they are wearing heavy armor, they are heavy cavalry, and if they are wearing light armor, they are light cavalry. They have very strong mobility and flexibility and combat collision capabilities.

In the Liyang Dynasty, cavalry was divided into two types, the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry and other cavalry.

Among the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, there are also two types of cavalry, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and other Beiliang Iron Cavalry.

It is said that "The Northern Liang Iron Cavalry is the best in the world, and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is the hero of Northern Liang."

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is the best in horse station and cavalry warfare, not only because of its powerful commander, but also because its soldier composition, weapons and horses are the best.

The strongest soldiers, the strongest horses, the best equipment, and a general who can defeat a hundred enemies alone.

These multiple factors make up the invincible and unstoppable Snow Dragon Cavalry.

After Zhao Xu introduced the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, Ren Xin and Jin Meiniang were both fine, and Sha Xing, who was standing by, felt happier.

"Master Xu, are you planning to build a large Snow Dragon Cavalry?"

After listening to Sha Xing's words, Zhao Xu nodded and then shook his head.

"I am fortunate to have mastered the training methods of the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry, especially the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry."

"But the speed at which it consumes resources is too terrifying, so I want to use this training method as a blueprint to train a cavalry unit - the Time Cavalry."

Having said this, Zhao Xu paused.

"This cavalry is divided into two parts. One part is the 500-man hour-long cavalry, which is trained completely according to the standards of the university's dragon cavalry."

"The other part is a thousand-man deputy cavalry. They are trained according to the normal Beiliang cavalry training. The deputy cavalry will be ready to supplement the main cavalry at any time."

Zhao Xu's training structure fully takes into account the current resource structure of "Twelve Hours", and Jin Meiniang and Ren Xin are very satisfied.

Having said that, Zhao Xu looked at Sha Xing.

"Sha Xing, I want to hand this important task over to you, how about that?"

Zhao Xu wanted to let him train the Shichen Iron Cavalry, and Sha Xing was very willing, but...

"Master Xu, Master, what should we do with Shadow?"

Zhao Xu fully understood that Sha Xing couldn't let go of Shadow, after all, those children were all orphans he had raised together.

"The Shadow can be completely integrated into the Chrono Cavalry and become its intelligence and scout organization."

Zhao Xu's solution made Jin Meiniang and Ren Xin nod their heads.

"By the way, when Miss Ren is training the Red Guards and Sha Xing is training the Time Cavalry, you can separate the unqualified ones into male and female to form two infantry guard forces. The male ones will be called the Xianzhen Camp and the female ones will be called the Jinfeng Camp. How do you think?"

Zhao Xu's sudden idea made Ren Xin and Sha Xing a little confused.

But when I think about it carefully, I think it makes sense. After all, it consumes resources and should not be wasted.

After everything was settled, Zhao Xu returned to his room and began to write down the training methods for the Beiliang Cavalry and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry.

Don't think this is an easy thing.

There is no trivial matter in the military. The method of training soldiers is not just about combat skills and tactics, but also includes soldiers' eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, logistical support, resource consumption and so on.

The reason Zhao Xu knew this was not only because he had a photographic memory and had read many books.

I would also like to thank Wang Quanlin for his three years on Laoshan Island, where three of the coaches he hired were from the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry.

Although this information is confidential, at a certain level, it is no longer a secret.

After Zhao Xu finished writing the method of training soldiers, he calculated the resource consumption with Jin Meiniang. Seeing this long list of bills, Zhao Xu took a breath.

"Mei Niang, can the Jinsha Gang survive with such consumption?"

Jin Meiniang saw Zhao Xu gasping for air and glared at him unhappily.

"Why, where is the heroic spirit that you had when you were talking so eloquently in the main hall? Humph!"

Seeing that Jin Meiniang was a little angry, Zhao Xu quickly admitted his mistake.

"Based on this amount, there is no big problem, but this scale cannot be expanded unless there are other sources of funds in the future."

Seeing Jin Meiniang said there was no problem, Zhao Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, it also strengthened the desire to retrieve those adventures and treasures from memory.
