Chapter 163: The Third Question-Army (2)
I have to say that the ears and eyes of businessmen are the most speechless.
Pan Daoan was looking for information, and as a result, he dug up the fact that Kuchuk used a urinal at night. It is common sense for people to use urinals when they are old, but sweating on the grassland should not use urinals at night. It's a sign of old age. Now that the steppes had been plundered in the summer of 1454, Qin Cang's fame and his nickname "Great Khan of Terror" marched north from the Don and Volga rivers to the Bolgar and Perm regions with caravans full of Han Chinese flags. The Bashkirs and Chuvash people who lived there knew that the Great Khan of the Terror was the one who would soon take away the position of the Great Khan of the Golden Horde.
Speaking of which, even his own people call Qin Cang the Great Khan of Terror, and it is also a Tatar who is a little unaccustomed to the style of Qin Cang's army to prohibit it. Saying that beheading will never be changed to spanking. Spanking is a few times, and it won't get better for two or three months. It is precisely because of this that many Tatar tribal chiefs did not go home on horseback, but lay on their stomachs and pulled back together.
"Expand the army! It's long overdue! Chen Hanlin was the first to stand up in a burst of conversation.
Of course, Qin Cang agreed with his approach, the perennial quota of 4,500 people in the Imperial Forest Army was indeed a bit nonsense, and the 20,000 ruffians of the Weiyuan Army were really not good to merge into the Imperial Forest Army. So Qin Cang said: "Then you elaborate on your thoughts." The Imperial Forest, the Weiyuan Army, and so on. ”
Chen Hanlin was stunned. Isn't it all about making a note in the past, and it's a matter whether you approve it or not? How to talk about it first and then do it today.
"Brainstorming. Now the treasury is full, and there are countless war horses on the pasture. It is not a question of how much the army is expanded, but in my opinion, the military system should be reformed first. Only by drawing all the regiments and camps can we have room for expansion. I know that the first thing hidden under your bed is not silver, but two military watches. ”
Chen Hanlin's old face turned red when he boarded, and the people around him also laughed.
At present, the domestic military system has always been in a particularly rudimentary state. Every battle was always a requisition of militia, either a Tatar tribe. The people of the Imperial Forest Army are often sprayed on the princes of the hall, and they can't even compare to the border army!
Of course, the border army here refers specifically to Qin Fusheng, who is 'evil'. This gentleman doesn't do anything else in Jintao Mansion, basically just eats and sleeps and fights Moldavia.
Qin Fusheng maintained a Wallachian wing of 8,000 men, a Moldavian wing of 4,000 men, a Tatar wing, an artillery wing, and so on.
Except for artillerymen, there is basically no salary. Their daily routine is also to eat, plough the fields, and fight Moldavia......
The reason for the blatant fight was obviously influenced by the war with Poland and Lithuania. Moldavia is a vassal of Poland at the moment, hugging the grass and beating rabbits, to fight together. Qin Fusheng blatantly attacked Moldavia.
And at this moment Moldavia is still under the rule of the incompetent Peter Aron. As a result, the border is in a daily emergency, and the daily loss of population has become a common practice.
The entire coast of Moldavia was swallowed by Qin Fusheng's whales. Even the very important estuary fortress, the Kilia fortress on the north bank of the Danube, fell into the hands of Qin Fusheng. The fortress was meant to be occupied by the Ottoman army, which annexed the Wallachians. Now it is the property of another pagan. With this fortress, whoever dares to make trouble in the Danube Delta will have to think carefully about the consequences.
This has become a joke in China. The Central Army was actually inferior to the border army. In fact, not only Jintao Mansion, but also Donhe Mansion and Banhe Mansion have tens of thousands of people, and Heijin Mansion, the second largest population gathering place, is a bunch of barbarians (people in Beijing look down on local people), who gather together every day to put guns and fight, and pull out an army.
Throwing guns into a fight is also the most common behavior in the country. In China, there is a loose control over brawl incidents, but local affairs are managed by local township schools. That's what happened in all of them. The East and West villages grabbed water, and the East and West villages gathered on both sides of the river to pick up crude muskets and shoot at each other. If anyone is really unlucky and is shot, even if they are unlucky, the township school will pay for it. Anyway, whoever has the loudest voice wins. That's pretty much the process. Outside of Jinshan County, many Slavs are also very fond of this game. Yes, this kind of behavior is indeed a game, but he trains soldiers. Even Zhang Qi thought that this method would allow soldiers to become familiar with how to shoot and line up.
Chen Hanlin stood up, he coughed a few times to mobilize his emotions, and came up with the plan he had planned for a long time.
"First of all, the border army must not move. This is also conventional..... Ahem, conventional. But the Privy Council doesn't care about their salaries! However, the Ministry of War still needs to make a register..... Anyway, the border army is the of the Outer Guard Mansion Yin, and he wipes his own things. ”
Under the ridicule of a group of senior officials, "Then you don't eat others, and you have to be paid by others", Chen Hanlin began to explain his thoughts on the military system.
"In fact, the ruffians of the Weiyuan Army are not unusable, but how to restrain their discipline. I'm going to implement this according to the point system when I first built the dynasty. The other question is about the entire military system. After a long period of research by my subordinates and I, we decided that 5,000 men in one army would be enough. It had 2,000 spearmen, 500 sword and shield men, 1,500 musketeers, 300 artillerymen, and 200 cavalrymen. The artillery carried twenty four-pound guns (referring to the weight of the cannon, about four catties and four pounds, etc.), and eighty two-pound guns! We've improved the firing of the two-pound gun, which can be done by two people.
In addition, artillery and cavalry are under one command. And the infantry, guns, etc., are given one command for every 100 people. Fifty people in a group. Each army shall have one commander and two deputy commanders. In addition, there are 21 permanent officials, such as military discipline officers and account officers. In wartime, a temporary commander was appointed as the leader of the entire battle group.
Every time there is a battle, the main army is responsible for frontal combat, and the border army joins if it has it, and does not mention it if it does not. And the militia is responsible for the flank response. At the same time, I set this as a standard army, changed two armies to cavalry armies, and set all of them as cavalry.
Therefore, I plan to split the Imperial Forest Army and the Weiyuan Army into six armies after adding 5,000 soldiers. As for the station, I haven't decided yet. If it's all placed in the West Hill Ranch, it's no problem. If you are transferred to a different place, there is no problem. This depends on the arrangement of the princes of the temple. ”
"Yes, you can. Do you have any other opinions? Qin Cang was the first to applaud. Seeing the applause clearly, the others also applauded. This is simply disobedience in the eyes of Pan Daoquan and Tang Mao! But Qin Cang loves this mouthful.
"I can't wait." Obviously, there is no one who understands military affairs better than Chen Hanlin. So they all agreed.
"Okay, Inspector Lee. Write it down! "The person Qin Cang said is Li Jingpo, the inspector of the Chijing Inspection Division. Responsible for law and order. But this gentleman's writing is very good, so he was dragged over to write a record.
Li Jingpo blackened his face and clicked the paperwork a few times.
