Recently, I have seen that many readers do not understand too much about the force of the characters of various levels in the book, the number of the imperial army, etc., and the author will focus on explaining here, it is too cumbersome to write all in the book.

The first question, junior martial arts (junior bandits, junior guards, junior hunters, etc....... Combat power.

Under normal circumstances, a junior can play two or three unqualified.

The second question is the combat power of the mid-level military ranks.

Under normal circumstances, one can fight five to ten ordinary people, and most of them must be unqualified, and there can be a small number of junior martial arts. (Chapter 10 describes the time when Li Ling's combat power is written.) ）

The third issue is the combat power of senior military ranks.

Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to play four intermediate levels at the same time, and at most four or five intermediate levels, no more. (This is written in chapter 40.) As for how many ordinary people can fight, it also depends on the situation, whether the other party cooperates well, how morale is, whether there is equipment, etc.

Fourth, why do the first three questions speak in general?

Because the two sides are fighting, it is not a direct look at the data comparison, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and the first strike is the strongest, etc., which have been said in many chapters in bits and pieces, such as the tenth chapter, and there are other chapters, the author can't remember where, but he wrote.

If one doesn't get it right, the weak will live, and the strong will die, which is very normal.

The defeat is like a mountain, in ancient wars, it is normal for a hundred people to chase and kill a thousand people, is a hundred people really better than a thousand? Not necessarily! It's the general trend!

potential, very important!

Similar to morale!

For example, when chapter 48 wrote about Li Dadao, the leader of the Heavenly Killing Gang, he described that the other party once chased and killed dozens of people by himself, and became famous in a battle!

However, the protagonist identifies the other party's level and finds that it is only intermediate, and the protagonist guesses that the other party is very close to the advanced, but, even if it is advanced, the two sides are facing each other, is Li Dadao really stronger than those dozens of people combined? Not necessarily!

That's where the general trend comes in! The role of morale! Those dozens of people have lost their courage, so they were chased and killed by one person, no matter how strong they are, it is useless!

The fifth question is the strength of the five elite troops of the Great Shang Dynasty.

First of all, Deng Shihu's evaluation of them is that each one is the elite of the elite.

The author believes that an army, if it can really practice every day, should also conform to the setting of the elite of the elite.

Secondly, not everyone is intermediate, as is written at the beginning of chapter seventy-eight.

However, almost all of them start at the beginning, and even if they are beginners, most of them are more powerful in the beginners.

According to the author, this setting is normal.

Look at Qian Xiaoer and Qian Xiaowu who appeared at the beginning, they were junior thieves from the beginning.

Because they used to be hunters, their physical fitness was stronger than ordinary people in all aspects, and later they mixed among the bandits, and they were junior bandits.

They used to be hunters, but their archery ability was not even as good as the junior hunter Zheng Anqiang who appeared later, so it can be seen that when they were hunters, they were not very qualified, because of the accumulation of time and occasional training of their bodies, they became junior bandits.

Those soldiers who practice every day are not as good as Qian Xiaoer and Qian Xiaowu?

The primary level is a year of strict training, and the intermediate level is a five-year strict training, which is a large span in the middle, so it is understandable that many of those soldiers cannot reach the intermediate level, but they are more powerful in the primary level.

Then, it's how their strength compares to that of the mid-level figures.

At the beginning, Deng Shihu, the leader of the White Horse Gang and an intermediate horse thief, said, I dare not say that it is the opponent of an ordinary soldier in the Shenwu Army, here is actually a modest statement, if it is not for the real disparity in strength, you dare to say that someone must not be your opponent?

Immediately afterwards, Deng Shihu said later, it was the senses of more than ten years ago, more than ten years have passed, his strength has increased again, fighting with his bare hands, he may be able to beat the ordinary soldiers of the Shenwu Army, but an army looks at the whole, looks at the equipment, looks at the morale, the morale of the Shenwu Army is very strong, and the equipment is very well-equipped, if the other party is fully armed, even now, he does not dare to say that it is the opponent of the other party.

There are two questions here, first, more than ten years ago, what level was Deng Shihu's strength, maybe it hadn't reached the intermediate level? In addition, the ordinary soldiers of the Shenwu Army are indeed very powerful, and they didn't dare to say that they could beat the other party at that time, so it is understandable! From this sentence, it cannot be judged that the small soldiers of the Shenwu Army must have reached the intermediate level!

On the contrary, the current Deng Shihu is intermediate, saying that maybe he can fight with his bare hands and beat the other party, which shows that the unarmed strength of ordinary soldiers in the Shenwu Army is most likely inferior to Deng Shihu, but he is not sure how powerful Deng Shihu is in the intermediate, after all, he is the boss of a third-rate force, so it cannot be judged that the soldiers of the Shenwu Army are not intermediate.

The author's setting,It's both intermediate and primary.,Even if it's primary.,It's also a relatively powerful primary.,As for the reason,I've just written.。

Then, Deng Shihu mentioned morale, equipment and other issues, saying that the other party was fully armed, and he didn't dare to say that it was the opponent now.

This sentence shows that the heavily armed soldiers of the Shenwu Army, if not comparable to a mid-level person, are not much worse.

This is not difficult to understand.

Morale and not to mention.

The Shenwu Army is very well-equipped, this is what Deng Shihu said, how strong is it?

Armor is a must-have!

Exquisite weapons are a must-have!

There are even a lot of repeaters!

(In Chapter 78, the protagonist asks Deng Shihu how the strength of the Yangzhou Cavalry Battalion compares to the White Horse Gang, Deng Shihu says that the Yangzhou Cavalry Battalion has armor and three-shot crossbows, and the Yangzhou Cavalry Battalion is just an ordinary state soldier, and it makes no sense that the equipment of the Shenwu Army is worse than that of ordinary state soldiers.) ）

Some readers said that a small soldier of the Shenwu Army, comparable to a middle-level character, can fight more than a dozen ordinary people, which is too exaggerated!

First of all, even if it is an intermediate character, it is not absolutely possible to beat more than a dozen ordinary people, it mainly depends on the quality and cooperation of ordinary people, which was written in Chapter 10 when Li Ling's strength was written, and the second question also wrote about the strength of intermediate characters.

In chapter seventy-eight, it is written that it is easy for middle-level characters to beat ten or eight ordinary people.

A person who trains every day, wears armor, holds a delicate sword, and may even carry a repeater, you say that it is really difficult to fight ten or eight ordinary people?

The sixth question is whether the number of elite soldiers and the total number of soldiers in the imperial court are too much.

One million elite soldiers, 2.5 million ordinary soldiers, known as 3.5 million troops, this number is indeed relatively large, almost more than the number of soldiers in any dynasty in history.

However, the author's setting, the population of the Great Shang Dynasty also exceeds that of all dynasties in history.

There are more than 300 million people, and all kinds of hidden, unregistered, and uncountable ones add up to about 600 million.

It's just that the author hasn't written it yet, but there are many readers who ask, so I'll talk about it in advance here. (In fact, the author wrote that there were 36 states in the Great Shang Dynasty, and there were more than 30 counties in each state in the two states of Qingyang, which faintly indicates that the Great Shang Dynasty had a large population.) ）

With such a huge population base, there are so many soldiers.

One million elite soldiers, it seems like a lot, but the suppression of the Quartet border, the center, each place is only 200,000.

And then, with so many elite soldiers, can the court afford to raise them? After all, elite soldiers are still very different from ordinary soldiers, for example, elite soldiers are almost all combat personnel, and they don't have to work, and ordinary soldiers can do something else, such as farming or something.

There are also a variety of fine equipment, each of which is worth a lot of money.

In fact, it can be afforded, not to mention the proportion of one or two hundred people raising a soldier, the equipment is worth a lot of money, that is the market price, the court prohibits circulation, it is so expensive, the cost is not very high, especially, the court let the craftsmen make it, but there is no need to pay how to pay, each craftsman has a certain amount of labor.

It's nothing more than eating more when training.

If a million people eat more, how much more?

Secondly...... Does the imperial court need its own country's resources to raise soldiers?

The author has mentioned several times that the Great Shang Dynasty is a prosperous era, it is in the middle of the day, and it is very powerful in all aspects!

Seventh, I see some readers talking about food prices.

In fact, the price of a world mainly depends on how the author sets it.

The price of goods in this world, except for equipment, is not too high in other aspects, and it will not appear on the street to have a casual breakfast, and you will have to pay a few taels of silver, in fact, it is quite expensive if it exceeds five cents.

One penny and two catties of grain, this is the author's setting.

There is more than one rap for a penny.

In fact, historically, there was grain at this price, and there were cheaper ones.

Some readers said that the price of food is so cheap, it must be a super prosperous era!

In fact, is it really good for the people that the price of food is cheap?

Not necessarily, there has always been a saying that grain is cheap and hurts farmers, and many farmers' income is only one way to sell grain, and the price of grain is low, can you still hope how rich they are? What if the imperial court lowers the price? This is the proper harvesting of the fruits of peasant labor!

Therefore, don't think that if the price of food is low, it must be a prosperous era!

It is true that the Great Shang Dynasty in this is a prosperous era, but this prosperous era is a bit empty.

Also, the price of grain also fluctuates, and one penny and two catties of grain are not fixed, as the author will write later.
