Volume 1 The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 140 The Noon Offensive (30)

Therefore, the current Jiang Yugang is almost acting as an agent for the Mengyang garrison to take over the defense of the entire Mengyang City.

Inheriting the prestige of the original Ming Mengyang garrison Bai Qianfan and the control of the other defenders in Mengyang City, Jiang Yugang still held the command of all the people in Mengyang City from Qi Hong, of course, these people themselves are not under the command of Pingyi Wei and Qi Hong is also an important reason.

Although Qi Hong's official position and status are higher, Jiang Yugang still took advantage of the situation to control all the people, these teams, in the eyes of others, may be a bit of a hot potato, which can be regarded as a pros and cons, the advantage is the manpower of more than 2,000 soldiers, and the disadvantage is that the qualifications of these soldiers are not enough, or it may be that there are problems in management and tactical execution.

But Jiang Yugang still took over, and brought the manpower of Mang Castle to help manage it, mainly from the Secret Academy and the Divine Hunting Academy, these people are not so much military officers, they may be closer to the intelligence affairs personnel, even if they are from the Divine Hunting Academy, the training direction is closer to the staff officers, in fact, in the end, they are close to the civilian personnel, rather than the military command of the first line.

Therefore, what Jiang Yugang finally chose was to make the management direction of these Manggu Castle personnel close to secretarial management assistance, assisting all the people in the military organization work.

In the end, for the 2,000 people in Mengyang City, Jiang Yuyan imitated the model of the Ming army in Manggu Castle and organized them into three battalions according to the model of a battalion of 600 people, of which the first battalion was selected, among which the people who were the best in both military and physical fitness formed the most elite team.

Although it is said to be the most elite, but in Jiang Yugang's judgment, that is, the degree of barely being able to participate in the battle, these soldiers, strictly speaking, are still generally trained in the use of cold weapons such as basic long knives and spears, but the combat experience is almost zero, since the army entered Luchuan all the way, these soldiers have been stationed in Mengyang City, and have not received much tactical training, in addition, even the tactical training of marching and succession is very little.

After all, although Mengyangcheng is not small, there is not enough space for the troops to ensure sufficient training, and the most important task of the people is not to prepare for training, but to prepare for the actual transportation of various materials, and the time and space conditions that can be used for training are not available.

However, the units that really participated in the training, or the troops actually led by the officers, whether it was the actual battles or the training in various stations, the level of tactics cultivated was not comparable to the training state of the people.

Therefore, even if it was the most elite force, Jiang Yugang did not intend to let them take the initiative to participate in the battle, but as a preparation for Meng Yangcheng's inability to effectively defend it.

When the city wall could not effectively resist the offensive of the Luchuan army, Jiang Yu's prepared plan was to mobilize the heavily armored cavalry troops he had trained, go out of the city to hold back the Luchuan army, and then cooperate with the other defending teams to defeat the offensive of the Luchuan army.

If this plan is to be realized, it is necessary to open the city gate and rush out from the city gate to launch an offensive against the Luchuan army, which requires a certain degree of cover support from other armies to effectively protect the vicinity of the city gate and prevent the Luchuan army from rushing into the city and playing a protective role.

The small number of Manggu Fort troops under Jiang Yufu would naturally not be responsible for such a low-level cover battle, relying on relatively preliminary tactical firepower to complete the task of guarding the city gate with manpower and low-level combat quality, and this matter would be handed over to the people, or the newly organized Third Regiment of Mengyang City.

For these people, Jiang Yugang still has some other thoughts, for people like him without any background, no matter what resources are very lacking, although the people are very low-quality soldiers, but compared with the farmers of the complete traditional ancient agricultural society, they still have considerable battlefield experience and the advantage of fighting in terms of mentality and strength and quality.

In this case, compared to getting new soldiers from ordinary people, these people still have enough advantages, and now Jiang Yu can be regarded as having the basic development of Mang Castle, but the manpower is still very lacking, if you can get these people as a supplement, it will be a great help.

So far, all the troops in Jiang Yugang's Mang Castle are only more than 1,200 people, and although there are about 300 people with combat qualifications among the general administrative personnel of each academy, the total total is only more than 1,500 people.

On the other hand, Jiang Yugang found from the people with sufficient qualifications, to put it bluntly, there are more than 1,200 people who are in good health and have basic activity ability, and these people cannot be separated into the army because they were responsible for the transportation of materials from the people, but after the battle of Mengyangcheng, this situation is likely to change to a certain extent, as long as the Ming army can win the battle of Mengyangcheng, it can effectively reduce the burden on the defense of Mengyangcheng, As a result, more people will be set aside to be responsible for other affairs, and these people will have the opportunity to enter the official Ming army.

At this time, if Jiang Yugang can continue to keep these people, he will be able to effectively leave a team of almost 1,200 people and double the number of troops, and if he can continue to keep the situation of Mang Castle, the number of troops in Mang Castle will be close to 3,000 people, which is very close to the theoretical full number of 5,400 people in the guard.

By the orthodox years of Ming Yingzong, the number of guards has actually been lost to a large extent, and most of the guards do not exist to be able to continue to maintain full strength, and the state of 3,000 people is actually the level of the first-line guards, and if you go further, soldiers like Jiang Yugang, who all have combat experience, are the absolute top guards.

If he can maintain this state all the time, Jiang Yugang will have the opportunity to meet all the basic conditions for establishing a guard station, manpower conditions, and 3,000 soldiers, on the other hand, the geographical conditions, the infrastructure construction of Mang Castle, and in the end, it is only one step behind, that is, the licensed name of the guard station, and the position of the corresponding commander.

As long as he has these three points, Jiang Yugang will be able to truly gain a foothold in Luchuan and achieve his real breakthrough in Daming.

Therefore, Jiang Yugang organized these people into the compilation of Mang Castle, which was also for his greater ambition in the future. In addition to the most elite, there are the third regiment of Mengyangcheng composed of people who have undergone basic training and have certain tactical skills, and the fourth regiment of Mengyangcheng composed of people with qualified physical fitness.

The difference between these people of the Fourth Regiment and the Third Regiment is that these people have no military training at all, do not know how to use the simplest weapons, or do not have any combat experience, but they still have the basic physical conditions and can be absorbed into the future Mang Castle, and these people are still about 600 people in total.

In fact, if the conditions are lowered, only a certain age condition and basic health quality are required to join the team, Jiang Yugang can still gather more people, but Jiang Yugang does not simply need more soldiers.

First of all, the more soldiers the better, after all, no matter how many people fight again, they can support various tactics and other advantages, but they cannot change the management burden brought by the number of people, too many people, beyond the management ability, will bring about management chaos and other problems, and at the same time, the combat effectiveness can not be substantially strengthened.

Secondly, a large number of soldiers, will also exceed Jiang Yu's Mang Castle to support the capacity, although the resources in the Luchuan area are quite rich, there will be no problems in food supply, that is, the so-called lack of food, but there are still many other problems, the most important point is the treatment problem, his Mang Castle to win the hearts of the people, establish the most basic organization, towards development and growth, rather than like other Daming Guards to maintain the basic maintenance line has always existed, to the end of the slowly lost personnel, To usher in complete decay, it is necessary to ensure that the people in the Mang Castle can be treated well, and have a simple attraction in life.

As a person from hundreds of years later, although he did not intend to completely rebuild the later industrial system in the Ming Dynasty, a certain amount of industrialization was still what he needed, and industrialization here was a kind of industrialization based on pure demand.

It is not a complete industrialization of various systems, down to basic theoretical research, and up to the coverage and application of all aspects, but only to extract the aspects needed for practical application for industrialization.

For example, in terms of entertainment, Jiang Yu purposefully rebuilt radio and radio level entertainment, and even the basic film industry, but did not intend to make large-scale entertainment like television; Another example is the later development of weapons that Jiang Yugang wanted, and the use of tanks was developed, but he did not plan to completely install armored vehicles.

Finally, in terms of means of transportation, Jiang Yugang did not intend to develop a system of means of transportation that was supposed to be a supply, but a system of means of transportation that used the basic steam engine as the drive, that is, it only required the basic effect improvement, but not the overall technological progress to achieve the overall innovation.

He wants to bring about a difference and achieve the progress of the times, but this progress needs to be within a limited scope, not to expand to the overall progress, but to completely control the advantages brought by technology and technology in Jiang Yu's own hands.

These things are the core that Jiang Yugang wants to compose, that is, the advanced advantages of technology, so as to attract and control the forces under his own command, and be able to fight against the opponent's ability core.

Therefore, his purpose is to ensure the advanced nature of Mang Castle at all times, and the basis of this advanced nature is the basis of the life of all members or residents, if the basis of life is not guaranteed, or does not have superiority, then it is impossible to form a real attraction and centripetal force.

So on the one hand, he lacks people, on the other hand, he is not completely brainless to attract manpower, these are determined by the realistic conditions he has, he needs a certain amount of manpower, but he does not have enough basic background to ensure the treatment and development of a large number of manpower, so he can only absorb and converge limited manpower.

That's why he only needs a handful of people to fill his ranks. If these people are willing to stay and join Mang Castle as residents of Mang Castle, of course he needs a large number of people, the more the merrier, but these people are not very willing to follow Jiang Yugang to stay, even if someone is willing to stay, it will be a minority of them, the result is Jiang Yugang's decision, only a few people are needed as part of the team of Mang Castle, because he can fully guarantee the treatment of these people.

For other people who he can't guarantee treatment, he can only choose to give up and give these people a free choice, rather than completely taking the initiative to win them over.

The last ones, those who don't quite meet Jiang Yu's needs, are the last Meng Yangcheng Fourth Regiment.
