Chapter 45: The New Army of the Jin Kingdom
The palace residence.
Win Zhan should Lin Mu's words put down the affairs at hand and come to meet as soon as possible, came to the mansion to see Lin Mu was about to salute, Win Zhan saw his brother glaring, stunned and dispelled with a smile, sat on the ground and sat on the futon, at this time Lin Mu took the lead and said: "My brother, I want to build a new army, an army born purely for war!" ”
As soon as he heard Lin Mu say that he wanted to build an army born purely for war, he couldn't help but think of the soldiers of Liang who was strong and prosperous at the beginning, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
The elder brother wants to emulate the warriors of Liang built by Wu Qi in the Liang Kingdom?
"Brother, about the new army, brother wants to build a geometric army?" Win Zhan asked curiously.
"I will point the merrier!" Lin Mu smiled slightly and said without hesitation.
Winning the war was silent when he heard the words, an army born purely for war, the most significant reference is undoubtedly Wu Qi's Liang Wushu, after all, it happened within a hundred years.
Liang Wushu is still looking sideways, when Wu Qi defeated the 500,000 army of Qin with 50,000 Liang Wushu, and later Wu Qi left Liang, the famous general Pang Juan led Liang Wushu to almost all over the world invincible, in addition to Pang Juan's commanding ability is not an ordinary general, the strength of Liang Wushu can not be ignored.
Lin Mu wanted an army born purely for war, and winning the war naturally had to be compared with Liang Wushu, so he said to himself: "According to Liang Wushu's selection criteria, a soldier must wear triple armor, hold a halberd, hang a black gold sword on his waist, exercise a 12-stone strong crossbow, carry 50 crossbow arrows, and carry three military rations, and can travel 100 miles a day before he can become a soldier." It's just that there is a dilemma in the standard of martial arts, one of which is that the source of soldiers is too harsh, even if it is up and down today's Jin Kingdom, with a population of nearly one million, it is difficult to recruit 8,000; The second is that the consumption is huge, even if there are 8,000 elite soldiers, the military resources required can meet 50,000 ordinary soldiers, the Jin State is small, and it is suitable to create such elite soldiers, but it is difficult! ”
There is nothing wrong with what you said to win the war, and the current Jin State is indeed more suitable for a small and elite strong army to control the country, which is also Lin Mu's idea.
Winning Zhan expressed the worries in his heart, thought about it, and added: "In addition, if in the future, when the territory of the Jin Kingdom is vast, to build a Liang Wushu similar to Wu Qi, it will also face the same problems as the Liang Liang Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom is located in the middle of the world, and it is also the land of the four wars, even if the Liang Liang Kingdom is in its heyday, the Liang Wushu is only in the 50,000 range." Shock the Quartet, I am afraid that there is more than enough but not enough! ”
In short, if the Jin State is strong in the future, it is impossible for such elite soldiers to be armed on a large scale to tens of thousands, and the territory is vast and must be defended by soldiers.
"Not bad." Lin Mu nodded lightly and said: "These days, I have also thought about Wu Qizhi's Liang Wu died in the Liang State, why the Liang State had such a strong army, but why it lost its hegemony in the Central Plains, and I have been thinking about it for a long time. ”
"There are two reasons why Liang lost its hegemony in the Central Plains, but it is definitely not the reason why Liang Wushu is not strong." Lin Mu got up and walked to the map, looked back at the winning battle that followed, and said: "First, the Liang State is located in the land of the four wars, and the scattered territory is not conducive to defense, even if the Liang Wushu is only 50,000 people at the strongest time, there are too many places for the Liang State to defend, as the younger brother said, in order to deter the Quartet, it must be more than enough to be able to defend." ”
"Second, the major mistake in the decision-making of Liang's diplomatic relations is the most fatal, the fundamental reason why Liang lost the hegemony of the Central Plains is that its national policy is wrong, and the failure is that King Wu of Liang is eager for quick success and quick profit, attacking from all sides, and failing to implement the strategy of King Wen of Liang to make Xinhan and Xinhan continue to follow Liang's national policy and unite the countries of the Central Plains with the weak."
Lin Mu put one hand on his waist, raised his eyes and looked, and pointed to the map with the other and said: "If King Wu of Liang adheres to the policy of King Wen, the United Three Jin Dynasty can not only obtain greater benefits, but also complete the infiltration of Han and New China during this period, wait for the opportunity to destroy it and unify the Central Plains, completely break the dangerous situation of being in the land of the four wars, and lay its invincible foundation for the Zhuolu world, and then follow Jiang Huan's example to hold the former emperor hostage to make the world weak and strong, so that the world can be broken one by one, and the Liang country does not have a chance to dominate the world!" ”
"Oh no!" Lin Mu, who said this, said with emotion: "King Wu collapsed, now King Liang still does not think about the situation, he is strong and invades Han Xin, King Wen of Liang's strategy of uniting the three kingdoms is completely shattered, and the three kingdoms of Qin, Jiang, and Yue have not been substantially weakened, and King Liang dares to openly annex Han Xin, trying to break the balance between the world." As a result, the three kingdoms of Qin, Jiang, and Yue were feared and fought together. In this way, Liang Liang is equivalent to confronting the heroes of the world with the strength of a country, which is tantamount to using the mantis arm as a car and bringing disaster upon itself. ”
"Look at the current Liang Kingdom, the current King of Liang has lost the foundation of his ancestors." Lin Mu looked at Ying Zhan and said with a smile, the latter also nodded when he heard this, and was silent in thought.
Lin Mu said again: "Obviously, the army with few plans for today is suitable for the Jin State, which is small and weak, and after this battle, it will not use troops externally in a short period of time, and this army is to clean up the internal security force." It just so happened that the old Liang King sent five thousand sets of black and gold armor, and with the current national strength of the Jin Kingdom, it was enough to build an elite of five thousand scales, and the ordinary soldiers were handed over to those Shiqing nobles to control to reduce their vigilance against me. ”
"Brother Qi, I called you to come to plot today, and I will talk about this new army and what kind of army the Jin Kingdom needs." Lin Mu said that winning the war was also for the sake of the new army system, and when he saw his brother, he waited for the following.
"Liang's military soldiers, although they are strong, but if my new army copies all of them, it is absolutely impossible, and we should take its essence and remove the dross. As for what kind of army the Jin Kingdom needs, I have been thinking about it for a long time and have an idea. Lin Mu pondered for a moment as he spoke, and then said: "All the heroes in the world have their own elite divisions. Liang's warriors, Jiang's technical strikes, Yue's talents, Qin's sharp soldiers, Xinbaijin's warriors, and Yue's selection and training warriors are all elite divisions under the command of Zhuxiong, and Liang's warriors and Qin's warriors are even more prominent, and there are few people on the battlefield who can compete with them. ”
The strength of the Liang warriors, even if they were not at the strongest time in the Wu Qi era, still fought with the Qin warriors in the east of the river, becoming the biggest obstacle to the westward movement of the Qin state, and now the national strength of the Liang State is exhausted, and the warriors of the Liang Dynasty are exhausted.
"The Liang army was dressed in heavy armor, wielded a crossbow of twelve stones, carried fifty crossbow arrows, a crown with a sword, and carried three days' food; Han soldiers wore strong armor, strong crossbows, and sharp swords, and Han Liang's army was heavy on defense and defense. Qin Jiang Yue Yue Four Nations Army, into the peak arrow, the solution is like wind and rain, the speed is weak and the wind is even, the army of these four countries pays attention to mobility, is for the attack. ”
"Han Liang's army is not advisable, and the more you should follow Qin Jiang's example, the more you pay attention to its mobility." Lin Mu looked at the thoughtful victory, and added with a smile: "Of course, in the final battle of armaments among the countries, the gap in their combat power will not be too large, and in the end, the most critical factor still depends on the military system, national strength and diplomatic relations strategy. But there is one ......".
When he heard the words of winning the war thoughtfully, he looked up at Lin Mu, who said: "Mobility is more important than defensiveness, in today's world, the expeditions of the countries are frequent, and the expeditions of the countries in the future are even more frequent, or several battles in a month, or two or even three fronts at the same time are also common, it can be seen that the more mobile army is more conducive to the deployment of emergency deployment." ”
"What my brother said is very true." Win the battle and say a little bit.
