Chapter 433 Formation of the 01 Legion
The time entered the winter, and the purging of Miannan and Mianbei Prefecture and the northern and southern prefectures of Ura was also completely completed.
"My lord, the Southern Governor's Mansion is stable, and the disobedient have been wiped out." The war was over, and Chen Nan immediately reported to Chen Xiong.
When the war is over, the place where the three feudal armies will go should also be settled.
Thinking that he would land in Dongying next spring, Chen Xiong said: "Let the Han Gao army return to Half Moon Island first, and the Han Japanese army and the Han An army go back to Guangzhou to rest." Of course, if the officers and men of the Henkel army wished, they could also stay in Guangzhou for one month, and the generals could stay for two months, and the military department was responsible for food and lodging. ”
"My lord, what about the defense of Mianxi?" Chen Nan frowned and said.
The city guards and sailors alone could not defend against the Spanish legions, and Chen Xiong also knew it.
"Fei Song asked Li Ke to come over."
"Honorable Order!" Fei Song immediately went out and left in a crane.
After drinking two cups of tea, Li Ke also stepped down from the crane.
Chen Xiong nodded and immediately retreated, and the secrets of the empire were only known to the grass, wood, soldiers, and silver.
After Fei Song walked away, Li Ke said: "My lord, now the infantry inventory is 50,000 infantry, 10,000 artillery and 10,000 iron guards, if you need it, you can double it in a month!" There were 20,000 muskets in stock, 50,000 muskets, and hundreds of artillery pieces. ”
With the Yanhuang single-shot rifle and the mobility of the ox cart, the cavalry is no longer very useful, and now the cavalry of the empire is enough to use, and there will be no need for a large number of heavy cavalry in the future.
"Chen Nan, the military department began to form the 01 Corps and the 02 Corps! 40,000 infantry, 5,000 artillery and 5,000 iron guards, a total of two infantry divisions, a cavalry division and an artillery battalion, a total of 50,000 horses, all equipped with 7,000 war cattle. ”
Chen Nan nodded: "The lord is planning to let the 01 Legion garrison Mianxi, right?" ”
Chen Xiong nodded: "In the future, the three armies of the empire and the Praetorian Guard will no longer be dispatched, and the empire has ten main legions, which is enough to deal with any war." ”
Li Ke also said: "If the lord is not in a hurry, a month later, the grass and wood soldiers of the 02 Legion can also be replenished." ”
"Good! 02 Legion is not in a hurry! Let's go to the warehouse first! "The war between the northwest and the southwest also allowed Chen Xiong to get a large number of ghast fragments.
Less than a few months before and after the Great War in the Southwest, there were at least three million casualties, most of them also killed.
In his plan, the internal combustion engine will only be supplied to the long-term apprentice transport, the army and the factory, and the civilian transportation will be powered by electricity. Gasoline is the most polluting thing to the environment, and he doesn't want to use it in large quantities. After the oil group grows, it will drag down the development of electric motors.
After the temperature slowly rose, tens of thousands of reincarnated soldiers and a group of cattle and horses began to open their eyes, and a number of experimental models were also resurrected.
The commander of the 01 Legion was the sixth batch of silvermen, and Chen Xiong also named him Li Wei.
"Li Wei, the 01 Legion is responsible for the southwest defense in the early stage, and the 01 Legion is also the descendant of the eldest princess Chen Yi, the eldest princess will be in charge of the 01 Legion after she is eighteen years old, and the eldest princess will be familiar with the Legion in a few years."
Only then did Li Changwei understand: "The lord will defend the eldest princess to the death." ”
Chen Nan thought about it for a while, and also knew the meaning of the lord. The newly occupied territories around the future empire will inevitably be divided among princes and princesses.
Ah, the Three Continents will be the fief that Chen Xiong left to his eldest daughter. Ah, the three of them are the most patient, as long as they are alive, they simply don't ask much. This is the land that the ruler loves the most.
"Chen Wei, the 02 Legion will be fully formed before the year, and the spring will go to Dongying with the deity." Who will take over the throne of the two princes in the future, Chen Xiong will not draw conclusions too early.
I don't know if it's because of the balance of the Heavenly Dao and the powerful species, now he can't make the three emperors pregnant again. Fortunately, with a daughter and two sons, he is already satisfied.
After asking the silver chiefs at all levels to reorganize their soldiers and horses, Chen Xiong also began to observe the performance of the experimental grass and wood soldiers.
Chen Xiong has been able to control the arms of the army, but there is a lack of grass and wood soldiers who can adapt to the sea for a long time. Although the grass and wood soldiers can also adapt to the marine climate in the future, it will take more than ten years to evolve slowly, so the current grass and wood soldiers are not suitable for long-term sailing.
The number of main combat personnel of the three naval fleets has now reached 200,000, and the number of logistics services is also as high as 100,000. The power of the navy is devastating, and without the control of the grass and wood soldiers, Chen Xiong is really difficult to rest assured.
When I came to the experimental field at the mouth of the river, I saw dozens of plants and trees of different colors soaking in the mouth of the sea.
Li Ke also immediately introduced: "My lord, the straw soldiers can enter fresh water for one day, but they cannot enter the sea for more than half a day, even the silver man cannot adapt to drifting at sea for a long time!" ”
"Is there any progress now?" Chen Xiong most hopes to form a fleet of grass and wood soldiers! Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to have peace of mind!
With the powerful firepower of the frigate, even his energy shield could not withstand the direct bombardment of the 105 heavy artillery.
Li Ke said with a light smile: "This year, we have experimented with various formulas, using seaweed and coastal plants mixed with seawater, sea mud and some metal stone mines, and now we have found the most suitable direction." Now the light blue sailors in the water are divided into ten formulas with different proportions. ”
"Good! But how long does it take to know the results? Chen Xiong asked anxiously.
Li Ke thought for a while and said: "The limit of the average human soaking in water is about three days, and it only takes more than three days for the sailors to adapt to the long-term sea voyage, and after three days, they can get the best ratio of grass and trees and sailors." ”
It's only been three days, and it's been a blink of an eye. "Good! After the results are out, after completing the replenishment of the 02 Corps, let's create sailors, let's get 30,000 first! At the same time, let the shipyard start building twenty-six more ironclads and thirteen frigates! ”
Six of the ironclad ships and three frigates were divided among the three fleets.
"Honorable Order!" Li Ke immediately received the order. As long as there is food, there will be manpower, and if there is manpower, there will be resources and materials, and the empire will not lack food, and the breeding industry of farmers has also begun to explode in Lingnan.
Of course, everything will take time, and Li Ke estimates that it can be completed by tomorrow, but it will take more than a year to complete a dozen frigates.
One day, the 01 Legion suddenly appeared, and the name of the corps commander was Li Wei.
After Emperor Li took the eldest princess to meet with 50,000 soldiers, the whole empire suddenly realized.
Although Chen Yi is the eldest daughter, it is impossible to become a successor, and the newly built 02 Corps commander is called Chen Wei.
The news soon spread to the top of the imperial military and government, and they could also see the emperor's attitude.
"Good! Although the eldest son is a concubine! But Emperor Changping was more orthodox! When Shi Kefa received the letter from his eldest son, he rejoiced.
Lu Zhenfei asked suspiciously: "Governor's Mansion, could it be that the Emperor has already prepared to set a reserve?" ”
If the emperor said it clearly, then there would be no one in the empire who dared to have any thoughts. The majesty of the Great Emperor is deeply rooted in the marrow of the people of the empire, and no one dares to disobey it.
Shi Kefa shook his head: "The Great Emperor has formed the eldest princess's guard legion, which is commanded by Captain Li Wei!" And the commander of the 02 corps is not surnamed Zhu or Jing! This shows the meaning of the Emperor! ”
Lu Zhenfei also said excitedly: "Okay! The emperor does not recognize the long, and it seems that the second prince also has a chance to ascend the throne. ”
The old ministers of the Ming Dynasty hoped that the second prince would take over the throne, but many generals from civilian backgrounds were more willing to support the eldest prince. Many people who hate the former Ming don't want Zhu Xue's revival again!
Even the people are divided into two factions. The gentry missed the Ming Dynasty and naturally hoped that the second prince would ascend the throne, and the poor peasants and the rebel farmers naturally did not want the Ming blood to be revived again.
