Chapter 527 Cavalry Rotation Training System
For Gongsun Sheng's plan to recruit Han people in Liaodi, Zhang San still seriously considered it, in fact, Zhang San also knew that his worries were superfluous, and few people now have a sense of statehood, as long as they bring their families and educate them slowly, they can still change.
Zhang San asked, "If we recruit Han people from Liao, will the Liao monarchs and ministers oppose it?" Or is there some radical move? For example, a ban on trade, etc.? ”
Gongsun Sheng shook his head and said: "King, the Khitan people regard the Han people as pigs and dogs, for money, and the trade is legal.
Moreover, the Han people reproduce quickly and have strong survival ability, and the Liao State has always regarded it as a disaster, so we remove the Han people, and the Liao State will even applaud our hands, and even if we pay for it, the Liao State will sell a large number of Han people to us. ”
Zhang San naturally knew these things, in addition to the previous understanding in the history books, he came to this era from intelligence and newspapers to hear more or less such news, since there was no problem, Zhang San put the immigration plan on the agenda.
Then Zhang San thought about what if he cultivated a few forces in the north and then the tail was too big to fall away after a long time, and he would stand on his own mountain, this is not impossible, it is far away from the Ryukyus, and it is the hinterland of the mainland, even if Zhang San wants to encircle and suppress, it will cost a great price.
Referring to the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhang San decided to adopt the rotation training system, the forbidden army system of the Great Song Dynasty is to change generals and not soldiers, in fact, this is a very advanced military system, just like the countries of the world in later generations do not adopt this method?
Therefore, what the Great Song Dynasty lacks is a wartime command system, and a military rank system, wartime command is who will take over the command on the battlefield, and the military rank system is to tell you, if the formation is broken up or the chief officer is used, who should you listen to.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Great Song Dynasty lacks high-quality soldiers, the Great Song Dynasty army is a ninth-rate and a profession that is looked down upon, so those who join the army are some people who have difficulties in life and can't survive, these people can't eat enough, and you still expect him to have studied?
Zhang San didn't dare to say that his army was much higher than that of the Great Song Dynasty, but in addition to training, Zhang San would make these soldiers literate, tell them stories, reason, etc., so at least the quality of the soldiers of the Ryukyu Army after a few years of serving as soldiers must be generally higher than that of other countries in the world.
Zhang San now manages the army using a rotation system, rotation and training, and each unit will not stay in one place for too long, of course, Zhang San's current troops have not been established for a long time, so this kind of thing is not obvious, but now the battalion-level units in Zhang San's hands have never been in one place for two years.
In order to prevent small hills in the army, the cavalry also needs to be moved frequently, and it just so happens that Zhang San doesn't like to put his eggs in one basket, and there must be dark chess on the grassland, but Zhenwei Island and Beihai Ranch can't give up.
Every year, troops are transferred from the grassland to Beihai Ranch and Zhenwei Island for rotation training, so that the grassland does not have to worry about being suspicious because there are too many people, so Zhang San thought of rotation training before the establishment of the army.
Of course, the reason cannot be said to be to prevent mountainism, Zhang San used the pretext of strengthening the forces of Zhenwei Island and Beihai Province to reduce the suspicion of the Liao State, and when the time came, the strength of each tribe on the grassland would be kept below 5,000, and once it was exceeded, it would be transferred to Zhenwei Island.
Zhang San thought of the steppe and thought of Su Wu shepherding sheep and Lake Baikal, the current Liao State did not control the shore of Lake Baikal, not that the ability could not be reached, but there was no need for that, it was too cold and poor over there to be rare.
But there is no one over there, there are still a few tribal alliance forces, and when their own power in Mongolia is strong, they can also go north to defeat these tribes and then go east to bypass the Liao State and open up a passage to the sea.
In fact, the Liao State looks at the vast area, but most of the places are controlled by other tribes who accept the canonization of the Liao State, and his real hintch is only the Wujing region, so the power of the Liao people in the north is not strong, just like Heilongjiang, the Liao State does not have many garrisons at all, and most of them canonize some tribes and let them take care of themselves.
Therefore, Zhang San felt that the main task next year was to open up a trade route, and then use the trade route as a cover to achieve his goal, if he could prepare a force of tens of thousands of people in advance on the grassland, and then suddenly kill from behind or turn around to attack the rear of the Jurchen when he and the Jin State were in a decisive battle, then it would definitely change the outcome of the war.
Here we discussed the specific details, the immigration work will not be done until after the summer grain harvest next year, and if the immigration from the Liao State may affect the war arrangements against Goryeo, after all, the summer harvest grain may still not be so abundant.
For a place like Goryeo, Zhang San fought down purely for training soldiers and obtaining slaves, and it was not worth Zhang San's energy to put a lot of energy into a place where there was nothing, so postpone it, postpone it, anyway, as long as you have the advantage of the sea, it is really easy to pay more for this kind of peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides.
After the agreement, Zhang San immediately asked the intelligence department to send the news back to Yan Qing, and told him that after the beginning of spring, the Ryukyus would send the first batch of troops and let him prepare first, of course, Zhang San was only responsible for giving orders, as for how the intelligence officers sent the news to Yan Qing on a snowy day, Zhang San didn't care.
Then there is the question of the candidates to be sent there, Zhang Yunlong and other cavalry generals are very active, because according to the current situation in the Ryukyus, the cavalry troops may not be able to fight in a few years, so everyone who wants to be promoted and make a fortune must rely on this opportunity.
But because the first batch of people to go must have a strong appeal and appeal to unite their team, Zhang San hopes to be selected from those super-first-class masters in his hands.
Nomads respect heroes and worship heroes, and only if they can subdue each other in terms of strength, the other party will be completely convinced, so Zhang San wants to send a team of super-first-class masters to brush up on the grassland copy and quickly open up the situation.
This is also a way to solve the dilemma of these masters, after Zhang San has now turned the army into firearms, other places are fine, but the martial arts of these masters have become useless.
After all, this is the Water Margin world, and personal force can really be strong enough to change the direction of a local war, but such a god will face the muskets of the Ryukyus, and it will be a minute off.
People who have practiced martial arts for half their lives, and suddenly you let people rely on their talents to fight, this is like the college entrance examination suddenly changed to a talent show, not to say that there are none, but this is really not what people are good at.
So many generals in this military reform are a little confused, and even complained, Zhang San can't say anything, after all, everyone is the hero who followed him to lay this foundation, and he can't complain about what others are not.
