The military system of the Han army implemented the classical military system of the tribal soldiers.

This is a military establishment that originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

A standard basic unit of Han warfare is the school captain (department), and the subordinates are set up with qu, and the qu commander is Hou Sima.

Generally, a school captain department sets up two songs, which are called front and back songs or left and right songs.

But the field army usually strengthens a combat song to supplement the combat effectiveness.

Xinfeng's song is a county soldier formation.

There are five standard tuns under the song, and each tun has two teams, each team has five divisions.

One song is a compilation of 200 people!

Even if it is a county soldier, the salary is far inferior to that of the field army, and it costs at least 5,000 yuan a year.

The soldiers were also given clothes for the four seasons and two meals.

And that's just the basics.

In order for this army to be effective, it is necessary to feed the soldiers with meat and provide enough nutrition!

Three months ago, Zhang Yue had seen with his own eyes the treatment of soldiers in the Northern Army.

Beef, lamb, pork, fish, eggs, shrimp and crabs, pretty much everything.

It is precisely because of this that the six lieutenants of the Northern Army can rely on the strength of only one or two thousand people in each lieutenant department to be proud of the world and make the Huns fearful.

Obviously, the current Xinfeng finance is simply impossible to support an elite army of this scale.

Spend millions a year and smash it on the local county soldiers in Xinfeng?

It is equivalent to an average of every Xinfeng people, who need to add more than a dozen dollars in taxes?

When today's son is just in addition to the calculation, he has added 20 yuan per person and an extra 3 yuan of horse money, a total of 23 yuan, and he has already been sprayed with blood.

If Zhang Yue does this again and apportion military expenses to the peasants, I am afraid that the personality will collapse immediately.

Therefore, Zhang Yue's original plan was to wait until next year, when the Workshop Park can provide a large amount of taxes stably, and then do this.

But now, it has to be brought forward.

Fortunately......

However, there is no need to increase the burden on the peasants, and it is only necessary to raise the price of the curved plough and the cocoon cart.

Add one or two hundred dollars per unit, and it should be about the same.

Since money is not a problem, what kind of soldiers to train has become Zhang Yue's consideration.

First of all, Zhang Yue made one thing clear in his heart - it must be the new army!

What is the New Army?

An army that adopts new equipment or new tactics must at least be an army built with a new operational guiding ideology.

Just like the Wei warriors trained by Wu Qi in the Wei State, just like the tiger and wolf army inspired by the military merit lord Mingtian Mansion system that the Qin army once swept the world.

is also like the Han cavalry when Wei Qinghuo was born out of illness!

In short, the force must have the ability to break certain restrictions or shackles.

It may even take on the role of bringing war into a new era!

At present, the Han-Hungarian cavalry fought mainly by hedging.

This point has been confirmed by Zhang Yue from countless historical materials and materials, as well as from the Lantai archives.

The evidence is that from the first battle between the Han and the Huns, until now, for a hundred years, the tactics of the Huns have been white-knuckle hedging.

Cavalry white-knuckle hedging is the most romantic and cruel thing.

The largest cavalry hedge between the Han and Hungarian armies took place 25 years ago in the Battle of Gaolan Mountain.

Huo Qu's sick department encountered the main force of the Xiongnu Youxian King and the two main forces of the Wangting Dynasty, the Zhelan King and the Aries King at the foot of Gaolan Mountain.

The cavalry of the two armies, arrayed under Gaolan Mountain, and then began the death charge.

As a result of the battle, the main force of the Xiongnu Right Xianwang was annihilated, and the two departments of Aries and Zhelan were removed from then on!

But Huo Qu's sick department also suffered heavy losses, with more than thirty percent killed!

This silly cavalry hedging may seem incomprehensible to posterity.

But at that time, neither the Han army nor the Huns were equipped with saddles and stirrups.

Cavalry movement on horseback was limited, and with the exception of a few skilled horsemen, most of them were not capable of bending bows and shooting arrows on horseback.

The only way to shoot on a horse is to dismount and shoot on foot.

So you can only use this stupid method.

However, compared to the Huns, the Han army had more sophisticated and lethal foot crossbows and light crossbows that could be wielded.

Pull the trigger directly at the moment of contact and shoot the opponent off the horse.

Therefore, the Huns were directly beaten by the Han army, and for fifteen years after the decisive battle in Mobei, the Huns did not even dare to take the initiative to attack, so they could only defend passively.

It was only in recent years that the Huns dared to relaunch their strategic offensive.

Stirrups and saddles, for Zhang Yue, are not very difficult.

There were no technical difficulties, and he could even directly take out the cavalry equipment of the 18th century in Europe.

It's just that......

Now, there are two tech trees in front of him.

Is it to take the heavy cavalry route or the Mongol light cavalry guerrilla route?

Heavy cavalry, this kind of troops, of course, has a very strong visual impact, and for the Huns, even if Zhang Yue only takes out the heavy cavalry technology of the Northern and Southern Dynasties now, it is enough for them to have no power to fight back.

But......

Heavy cavalry has too high technical requirements and war horses, and it is difficult to train on a large scale.

What's more......

Heavy cavalry is a toy for the aristocracy, where ordinary people can afford to play?

And the hussars ......

The benefits are certainly numerous.

An elite light cavalry skilled in mounted archery and experienced in combat is capable of insulting and whipping his opponents at will.

All kinds of kite flying, all kinds of hanging.

And it is also very suitable for the current Han-Hungarian battlefield and the future westward expansion.

But here's the problem......

Elite light cavalry is too difficult to train.

They must be able to move 360 degrees on horseback, be proficient in the use of all weapons, and have an incomparably keen sense of battlefield observation and a sense of danger of smell.

After thinking about it in his heart, Zhang Yue put this issue aside for the time being.

Because, whether it is heavy cavalry or guerrilla light cavalry, it is not something he can afford to play now.

It's not something that can be trained in just four months.

It will take at least three years to train a qualified cavalryman.

The review of the Son of Heaven is likely to come in four months.

He must hand in an answer sheet that satisfies him.

"It's time to test my PTT skills!" Zhang Yue chuckled in his heart, he had already made a decision.

First set up the shelves of the army and recruit qualified soldiers.

And then......

Let's train them in the direction of the honor guard of the next generation.

Anyway, it's just for the Son of Heaven to see, it's good to be powerful enough and beautiful enough to be fresh enough.

Zhang Yue also thinks about it, he imagines himself as an entrepreneur and sees the Son of Heaven as the boss of venture capital.

When you think about it, it's not that hard.

……………………

More than 400 Wugang vehicles transported thousands of pieces of ordnance into Xinfeng City.

It took two days just to unload the weapons.

This incident naturally attracted the attention and curiosity of countless people.

The gossip that Xinfeng County transported a large number of ordnance spread throughout Guanzhong.

Subsequently, Xinfeng County was going to carry out winter training and drill the militia, and the news spread throughout most of the Guanzhong.

Countless people immediately focused their attention.

"Xinfeng is going to conduct winter training, and a large number of ordnance has been transported?" The sensitive Minister of Chang'an immediately looked sideways.

The major events of the country, only Rong and ritual!

At this time, the eldest grandson suddenly returned to Xinfeng with a large number of ordnance, and Xinfeng also had to engage in winter training!

Fools know, what kind of signal is this?

As a result, the status of Liu Jin's maternal ancestor family immediately skyrocketed in the heart of the Minister of Chang'an!

Large bags of gifts, don't give them to the old historian's house.

At the door of the Shi family's house, the water was directly blocked by countless carriages, and in the end, it was the guards who held Jinwu that they dispersed these crowds who wanted to cling.

But......

As a result, the status of the historian has risen rapidly, and he has become a noble relative in Chang'an City that cannot be ignored by others!

At least it's the descendants of the future!

In Bowang Garden, it was fried because of this.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking?" Many princes and ministers had to figure out the thoughts of the master of Jianzhang Palace in private.

Now, the Son of Heaven allowed the eldest grandson to train in Xinfeng for winter training, and brought back so many ordnance.

Could the Son of Heaven have any thoughts in private?

For example, intergenerational succession?

Although there is no precedent for this kind of thing, today, there are more things that have never been done without precedent!

Not to mention, the removal of Confucianism and the revision of Zhengshuo are enough to make his name go down in history!

What other salt and iron official camps, Guangguan, opening up the Western Regions, etc., before him, which Son of Heaven did it in the history books?

Whether it is the three kings, five emperors or the three generations of ancestors, no one has ever made such radical and violent reform measures as him!

In other words, if the Son of Heaven thinks that the eldest grandson is more suitable than the crown prince to support the temple and inherit the throne.

What he has is the means and methods to make this matter a precedent that everyone in the world can accept!

As long as he wants to, there are few things in this world that he can't do and can't do.

So......

For a time, the entire Bowangyuan, the prince, and the palace were all in the mood.

Even the crown prince Liu Ju was also panicked.

Although, Liu Jin is his beloved son and eldest son.

But......

He has been a prince for thirty-seven years.

For thirty-seven years, everyone had high expectations of him.

Although he himself felt that this prince was not very qualified.

However, he has long been accustomed to being the prince of the country and the future son of heaven.

Now this incident suddenly appeared, and he immediately fell into confusion and panic.

He didn't know if the sudden appearance of this incident was a sign that his father had died for him or if it was just a wayward act of his father.

His father, the current Son of Heaven, has done willful and terrible things that have been seen many times in the past few decades.

For example, last year, the little prince Liu Fuling was born, and the ecstatic Son of Heaven directly ordered that the palace gate of the palace where Liu Fuling was born be named Yaomu Gate!

This caused an uproar in the court at that time.

In the end, it was the Son of Heaven himself who came out to play a round, and he told the courtiers: "After Han Jiayao, this world is recognized!" The prince Fuling, that is, my son, the descendant of Emperor Gao, has the bloodline of Emperor Yao......"

He comforted him again, and said, "I know that the prince is honest and quiet, and he wants to be the lord of success, and it is difficult for him to be virtuous to the prince?" ”

He believed it because he felt that his father was right.

He has a kind and quiet personality, is benevolent and loves others, and is indeed a suitable master of success.

Can......

Now, he didn't dare to believe it anymore.

Because, countless facts tell him - it is right that he is kind and quiet, but it may not be true if he is benevolent and loves others!

These days, Liu Ju has been suffering from severe insomnia.

Every night, as soon as he closes his eyes, he can think of the victims in Yuyi and Yongxian.

So howling peasants, those desperate eyes.

The weeping people in the parched fields.

And those children who were ragged and had yellow faces and thin muscles.

What frightened and frightened him the most was a terrible scene he had seen with his own eyes in Yongxian - a mother, holding a child, sitting in despair in a crumbling thatched house and sobbing.

The child was very small, probably only half a month old.

The mother desperately tried to stuff her own ** into the child's mouth, but ......

But the child could not open his mouth.

He starved to death!

Because, his mother hadn't eaten for days, and she couldn't even secrete a drop.

The mother was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she could only hold her child helplessly and desperately and cry until her blood and tears dried up, and she cried until her heart was broken.

It was a nightmare that Liu Yi never dared to forget in his life.

It was under him, the crown prince, and under what he thought of as 'benevolent gentlemen'.

Hundreds of people died in droves, and hundreds of corpses fell on the road.

The whole Honggu Plain is wailing all over the wilderness.

And in the end, it was the Legalist bureaucrats he once looked down on and thought were the ones who brought disaster to the country and the people who saved these victims.

It was a waterwheel decorated with tricks and tricks in the mouth of his minister.

This made Liu Ju unable to sleep all night.

Now he no longer dares to say that he can 'settle the world'.

How many times in the middle of the night he woke up from a nightmare, his clothes soaking wet.

In his dreams, he dreamed more than again and again about the victims of Yuyi.

He also dreamed that he was sitting on the throne, but the world was already full of flames, and the heroes stood side by side.

In the recklessness, countless heroes led the people, hanging the people for crimes, and asking for crimes in Chang'an.

And the whole world is burning in the flames of war, countless prosperous cities have been turned into ashes, and countless people have fled in panic in the war.

This made him depressed for a long time.

In my heart, I am full of questions.

Now he even only wants to be the second Qin II and not to be the king of the dead country.

Therefore, when he heard the courtiers privately talking about 'whether the Son of Heaven will let the eldest grandson ascend the throne from generation to generation', he even had a moment of relief in his heart.

Deep down in his heart, he even couldn't help but think about a question: "Jin'er, will it be more suitable than Lone?" ”

Although this thought only lasted for a fraction of a second, it was dispelled by a strong sense of crisis and a strong desire for power!

Liu Ju stood up and looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

"Lone is the prince!" He took a deep breath: "No matter how virtuous Jin'er is, he must only take the throne after Lone dies!" ”

Facts have proved that human desire for power and status and desire for control are indiscriminate.

The same is true for Liu Ju!

He pushed open the door and ordered the ministers standing at the door: "Immediately summon the crown prince, the prince's young master and the prince's housekeeper and wash the horses, enter the palace with Gu, and meet his father and the emperor......"
