Chapter 207: The Three Great Legions

The huge amount of property stored in Daliao has also shrunk significantly. But seeing the number of soldiers double, I felt a rare sense of stability.

In the end, the gun is out of politics and power! If you have soldiers in your own hands, you are not afraid of an unstable position.

As for the Iqta system, since it is useless, it can only be abandoned. As a result, in the territory under his control, the feudal landlords were all hit hard. Not to mention the division of land and the liberation of slaves, it dealt a blow to the power of the landlords. It is said that the promulgation of the military restriction decree soon after the promulgation of the military limit has deprived the private soldiers of the local lords.

This is because according to the requirements of the military restriction order, any private force, including wealthy businessmen and dignitaries, can only raise private soldiers under the organization of the Recruitment Department of the Ministry of War. In the official face, it is called a militia.

Various private forces can contribute money and people. Those private soldiers also belong to them in name. However, on weekdays, it is necessary to spare 15 days for intensive training under the organization of the Recruitment Division. And any combat orders can only be obeyed by the recruiting division.

If you dare to be assigned by the landlord, you will cause trouble. The Red Turban Army, who has a bad reputation for copying their families, will let them know what regret is.

So this was formed, and it was entirely the landlords who raised troops for the governor's palace. Those private forces, naturally, do not do it. Even if the Governor's Office raised the banner of improving the combat strength of the private army, in case it could be used properly in wartime.

But when it comes to profits, no one is willing to do it. And there are so many rules and regulations, this private soldier doesn't want it.

As a result, in the three counties controlled by the Governor's Palace of Khorasan, the number of private soldiers raised by the landowners has been greatly reduced. This is extremely beneficial to the rule of Lee Seungji.

"The eagle is mighty, long live Luoshan!" A troop of 1,000 cavalrymen, holding a military flag embroidered with eagles, walked very solemnly through the streets under the high platform.

In order to better control the army, Li Chengji established the name of the army as the apologetic army, and set up three major corps. They are the eagle, the red flame, and the sky. Among them, the eagle is the cavalry, the red flame is the cavalry and the infantry, and the sky is completely infantry.

The realm in this river is actually the world of cavalry. On the contrary, the infantry, like chicken ribs, is of little use. However, in Li Chengji's view, the usefulness of infantry, as long as it is used properly, can still shine.

So an infantry corps was still formed, and the full strength of 20,000 men was about the same as the other two legions.

But it's different from the traditional infantry!

Li Chengji's infantry corps can still ride horses. But in wartime, it was not used as a charge. Instead, under the situation of the battle of Hyun, it pressed up like a mountain. The weapons of battle are not focused on arrows, but on spears and broadswords.

Indeed, it was two weapons moving together. For this reason, Li Chengji also asked Xiao Zi to come up with a battle formation suitable for spears and broadswords.

Of course, this handy weapon cannot be without. For spears, Lee Seung-ji chose a special folding spear. The spearhead is long and can be folded towards the hilt. Even the shank can be folded completely. It's extremely convenient to carry.

It is nearly two feet long and five inches wide. It was originally a 19th-century Persian Cyptic Uka spear, which was well made.

However, the cost of its manufacture was too high, and after Li Chengji asked the craftsmen of the Governor's Division to make it according to the sketches and processes he gave, the cost of a spear was about half a dinar.

Therefore, Li Chengji only equipped a spear battalion of 3,000 people, and chose the diamond-shaped spear commonly used by German mercenaries in the 16th century. Its long rod has a long flat pointed tip, which is integrated into the serrated design of later generations, so that the spearhead is not only pointed, but also has dense serrated teeth on the diamond-shaped facets on both sides.

If it pierces a person's body, it is not only easy to scratch, but also saws the flesh inside.

And compared with the wrong gold Uzi spear, its manufacturing cost is greatly reduced. Li Chengji also named it - the deadly rhombic spear. The camp of 6,000 people, also known as the Death Battalion.

In terms of knives, Li Chengji admired the Mo knife in the Tang Dynasty the most.

But after the late Tang Dynasty, its production skills have been lost. Now, hundreds of years later, let alone restoration. But Lee Seung-ji is not fighting alone! In his ring, however, there was a moving encyclopedia.

When Lee Seung-ji first came into contact with it, he found that there was a lot of technology that was ahead of the times. Even something like a space-time shuttle can be made. Therefore, the production skills of Mo knife are really collectible inside.

And as a cold weapon, it still exists in the form of historical materials.

Without hesitation, he copied his production skills and handed them over to the following superintendents to manufacture. It's a pity that what he didn't expect was that Modao had particularly high requirements for manufacturing skills. As a result, defective products are prone to occur during manufacturing.

In addition, the requirements for pig iron are also much higher than those of ordinary weapons. Therefore, Li Chengji is like setting up a Modao battalion with 10,000 people, but it is a bit difficult. They had to succumb to reality and form a camp of 3,000 men.

In addition, sabres were used as substitutes to form a camp of 6,000 men. Compared with the Mo knife, the saber is a wide back and thin blade, and the blade is heavier. Those who are not ordinarily strong cannot be mastered.

Therefore, most of the camps that use knives are from remote tribes or mountain tribes. It grows in a harsh environment, and its physical strength is much better than that of some people living in cities.

If you are loyal, Li Chengji will not worry too much. The power of religion has always been far-reaching. And Puritanism is controlled by him. Those who join the Guardian Army, though they are not allowed to apostasy at first. But after a month of brainwashing and intensive training, they will be converted to Puritanism under their original sect.

Despite the fact that within Islam, there is also a deep hostility towards the various factions. But the so-called Guardian Army naturally wants to protect the religion they believe in. Puritanism has always regarded itself as orthodoxy, and if you do not convert, then you are not eligible to join.

Many of the recruits who joined the Apologetic Corps will have a great impact on their thinking after a month of intensive training. As long as they are not particularly strong-minded, they will convert to Puritanism.

Like Guyimat, it was Shia before. But after the baptism of religious thought in the army, it was slowly transformed into puritanism. Now a member of the Eagle Battalion, I have the honor of being reviewed.

Riding a tall horse with a longbow on his back. Looking at the enthusiastic cheers on both sides of the street, he hesitated. I remember that the Puritans who erased the marks on his body when he was removed from slavery should now be called the brother of the cathar. Seeing that he was in good health, he strongly encouraged him to join the Guardian Army.

Later, he was moved, and only after the help of that brother entered the cathar army one step ahead of schedule. And he learned that the man was a centurion. Now the relationship with him is not bad.

His younger brother, Nurmat, also intends to join. However, because his elbow was injured by the master's family, he was left with a hidden disease. As a result, you can only miss the cathars!
