Chapter Ninety-Eight: Manpower

As if Xiong Jing had never mentioned the people, Nao Cunning naturally turned the topic to the establishment of the new army. Xiong Jing looked at him a little angry when he spoke, but there was nothing he could do about it. He can go to Sanjin to find a capable scholar to come to Chu State as Ling Yin, and then let him go to feed the people, arouse the anger of the people, and then unload the mill and kill the donkey. But there is no doubt that even so, it will not be able to complete the people.

The central and local governments were mostly opposed, and the purpose of the people was to support the local forces and make them oppose the Qin army in the future, while the people were the opposite, which was the first step in bringing the localities under the central administration. However, unexpectedly, the people had no way to estimate the number of troops, and the number of troops was unknown, so it was difficult for the Great Sima Mansion to deploy.

Thinking about the people, Xiong Jing didn't have the heart to listen to the cunning words at all, but when he finally said that 'the soldiers of the array are less than 170,000', Xiong Jingfang came back to his senses: 170,000 is too little, and 75,000 cavalry is too much.

"What does the Great Sima Mansion think?" Xiong Jing asked.

"Da Sima Mansion thinks that there are too many archers and cavalry, so they should be reduced as appropriate. Thirty-six archers, fifty horsemen, two hundred twenty-five spearmen, and three hundred and twenty men with the captains and drummers. When Nao said this, he asked: "May I ask the king, how geometry should the boat master have?" The new wing has a total of 165 men, non-commissioned officers and officials per boat, and 1,000 ships are 165,000 people. ”

"165,000?" Don't mention that I don't know, I was shocked when I mentioned it, the boat master is also a big cannibal, and Xiong Jing wanted to build 2,000 big wings before. Now it seems that five hundred ships are barely enough. He counted the sailboats again, and the sailboats were fine, eighty men each, and two hundred ships were only sixteen thousand.

"Exactly. If there are too many boat divisions, the number of foot soldiers will inevitably decrease. The minister thought that the number of large-wing warships should not exceed 500. "Say a number sly." Even if it were 500 ships, it would take 83,000 men. The minister may ask the king again, how many sea boats should there be? ”

"Thirty thousand people in the sea is enough." Xiong Jing said, he is not satisfied with two hundred sailing ships.

"So ......," Nao nodded slyly, "...... There are less than 200,000 foot soldiers. ”

"Can women be recruited to paddle in the army?" After thinking about it for a while, Xiong Jing finally came up with an idea. Of all the soldiers, only the sturgeon was the easiest, and the only thing they had to do was paddle, and they didn't have to fight.

"Women's paddling?" Thinking of this solution, Nao shook his head and said: "Women's strength is not as good as that of men, and during the war, Ding Nu may have to transport military rations and baggage. ”

"No, no. Women must mobilize. "Xiong Jing Dao." The policy of emphasizing culture and education has included women, and military rations may need to be transported by women, but paddling is even more needed. The large-wing warship, our army is two and a half times that of the Qin people, and the strength of the women may not be enough, but one hundred and twenty-four women may not be able to row fifty men. This matter ......"

Xiong Jing looked at Qi Xuan, "You write down, how many women can row over fifty men." ”

“…… The boatmaster uses a female hand, and the size of the large wing, middle wing, and small wing can be adjusted. I will design a new ship on the basis of the speed of the Qin army's large wing. At present, among the 165 people in the Great Wing, 124 are in the hand, and if the woman is the handsome, there are only 41,000 men in the 1,000 ships. ”

"Great king, even if a woman can be a man, a thousand ships need 120,000 or 130,000 women, and the subjects are afraid that the people are lacking." Speaking of which, it is still a problem of insufficient manpower, and the mobilization power of Chu has always been the lowest. Foot soldiers, boatmen, seagoing ships, and many workshops, factories, and shipyards were extremely laborious.

"You asked the Fu Division of the Great Sima Mansion to set up a special station to coordinate the people's forces. Calculate the geometry of the foot pawn, the geometry of the boat, the geometry of the sea boat, the geometry of the baggage, and the geometry of the workshop, the building of the house, and the shipyard; The second is how to distribute the people's power in each county. Xiong Jing commanded.

"Yui." Nao Qian also had this idea before, but he didn't expect to set up a special station to do this.

So it was decided. 300,000 foot soldiers, more than 930 soldiers; The boat division is tentatively set at 1,000 ships, and the soldiers are 40,000; The tentative number of sea boats is 30,000, for a total of 370,000. Can? "This is the total strength of the Chu State, the number of 370,000 is not much, but the people cannot be expected, the manpower cannot be calculated for the time being, and can only be estimated by the number of the last mobilization.

"Maybe." The figure of 370,000 is already high, so Nao can only say yes.

"No, yes, yes." Xiong Jing Road. "If the policy of emphasizing culture and education is implemented well, men, women and children can fight. To build a house, production must stand on the basis of all the people are soldiers, and each household must prepare two pieces of armor and four long and short blades. ”

"Each household ......" two pieces of armor and four long and short blades, the number is millions.

"Just prepare, untrained and unbattle-hardened commoners are not allowed to prepare armor and knives." Xiong Jing Road.

"I understand." Nao looked at Xiong Jing with a look in his eyes that was a little wrong, and a million pieces of armor were not a small number. It is equivalent to one-third of the people of the Chu State who have to go to the battlefield to fight, and this kind of mobilization efficiency is beyond the reach of even the Qin State.

"The matter of the military academy, this year's task is to test whether the spear formation is reasonable, after the end of the battle of the Great Liang Water and the alliance with the Qin State, immediately send an army to recover Juxian, this battle does not use the old army, to use the new army; During the autumn season, the various armies will conduct several exercises to finalize the establishment of the new army. Military academies are set up around the new army, and when the new army is decided, the subjects of the military academy will also be determined, and the military academy will be able to open its enrollment next spring. ”

There is no version to copy, Xiong Jing can only choose the right weapon, the right formation, and the right formation in actual combat. Of course, Lian Po's guidance is indispensable, and without him, Xiong Jing of Cold Weapon War would not be able to enter the house.

"May I ask the king, how should Pingxin-kun be?" Nao Cunning mentioned Lian Po, "Right now, my country is sending off guests, and Pingxin Jun ......"

"Not everyone will be sent away, and Pingxinjun will stay." Xiong Jing said again: "Nao Qing, I want to take Ping Xinjun as the head of the military academy, can I?" ”

"Ping Xinjun is the head of the military academy?" Nao's cunning eyes blinked a few times. Military schools always have to be managed by someone, and he made it impossible for Yin to manage a military academy again, and General Xiang Yan was the best candidate, but ......

"Isn't it possible?" The head of the military academy is either Lian Po or Xiang Yan, Xiong Jing's choice of Lian Po instead of Yan naturally contains deep meaning.

"It is necessary, but in fact, it is ......" Nao sly understood Xiong Jing's thoughts, he said: "Today's general is the expectation of everyone, if you don't have the general as the head of the military academy, I am afraid that everyone will not be convinced." Xinping Jun is a Zhao person, and the king has already issued an order to send off guests, and he is a Zhao person, which is probably ......"

"Leading soldiers is leading soldiers, training soldiers is training, how can they be confused?" Xiong Jing was surprised.

"The king knows that leading troops and training troops should not be confused, but others don't know." Nao stressed that he felt that the king's ideas were sometimes difficult for others to follow, and some, such as making a huge iron, were fine, and some, such as the female hand, might not be accepted.

"And what do you say?" Xiong Jing naturally didn't know how advanced he was, he just didn't want Xiang Yan's influence in the army to expand again.

"What does the king think of Lu Yangjun?" Nao Cunning had to recommend Yin Luyangjun of the Great Sima Mansion.

"Him?" Lu Yangjun is indeed a suitable candidate.

"Exactly. Lu Yangjun has been the governor of the Great Sima Mansion for many years, and he is more familiar with military affairs than the ministers. Nao said slyly.

"What about the Great Sima Mansion? To whom? Xiong Jing asked again. The Great Sima Mansion was already the general staff of the Chu State, and this position was even more important than the position of the head of the military academy.

"What does the king think is the battle master?" Nao Qian did not recommend the people in his mansion, but recommended Li Er, and everyone was not used to the title of bureau and section, so they changed the name of the bureau to the department and the department to Taiwan.

"What?" Xiong Jing had some impressions of this person, but he immediately said, "This person is not a prince? ”

"Not a duke." Nao also knew that this person was not a prince, "However, this person's temple is so deep, and others are not as good." ”

"I've heard that this man is from a guest background." Xiong Jing shook his head, Miao is a smart person may not be able to take up the post of the governor of the Great Sima Mansion.

"Who is the king?" Nao asked slyly, and he suddenly said: "If the minister thinks of one person, he will be competent." ”

"Yi Sudzi?" If you want to find a princess, and you want to communicate with the military, you can only find it in the feudal monarch. There are few Fengjun who lead troops to fight, and Yiyang Jun bears the brunt.

"Exactly. What does the king think? Nao smirked, he felt that this was the best candidate.

"Maybe." Xiong Jing was noncommittal. "But this move will definitely make Xiang Yan unhappy."
