After this military reform, the number of ships in Xiaotian has not changed, but the number of people has plummeted and an adult agrees with him, who is not raised by his father and mother, and who can not miss home with 80,000 soldiers under Xiaotian's command? If this problem is not solved, how can Xiaotian be separated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the past six months, more than 200 large ships and 70,000 people have been blown by the sea breeze in Xiaotian, most of them are the forces of wealthy families, and many of them are simply sent by the court bosses to explore the way. Among them, there are not a few noble clansmen.

However, although there are many people here, and there are many powerful predators behind them, with Xiaotian's status and power at sea today, there is no such thing as a competitor, and it is impossible for anyone to enter the water to fight with him.

Therefore, these forces, large and small, all expressed their willingness to be the first to look ahead. No matter if you are a bull on the shore, you have to coil me when you are a dragon at sea, and you have to lie down for me if you are a tiger.

These forces also recognize Xiaotian's God of Wealth ability, and of course it is impossible to leave the bright road pointed out by the God of Wealth and go to the single-plank bridge by themselves. So from the moment these people went to sea, they could almost be regarded as half of Xiao Tian's subordinates.

Xiaotian's forces were already chaotic, and now they are even more chaotic after these people joined.

Xiao Tian naturally wants to make proper arrangements for them, and it is far from the time for his own family to fight. No matter how many monkeys are taken from Luzon as slaves, there must be enough slave owners. No matter how navigation develops, only the people of the Ming Dynasty are his foundation.

Some of these people came to farm, some came to pan for gold, some came to do business, and even Guan Xiaotian wanted to rob the license. But no matter what you're here for, these can be regarded as Xiaotian's forces.

In addition, none of the soldiers under Xiaotian's current command are not triple identities, they are both soldiers, businessmen, and now part-time farmers, so it is naturally impossible to go on like this. First, there is a specialization in the art industry. Second, there is no need for Xiaotian to raise an army of 80,000 people.

It's not that he can't afford it, the key is that there is no such great need, and the troops under his command have all kinds of components, and the combat effectiveness is also uneven, and many of them are made up on the battlefield, and this number is indeed conspicuous, and the court may not be able to rest assured, with the expansion of Xiaotian's power, he can obviously feel that the relationship between him and the court is becoming more and more delicate.

For various reasons, Xiaotian believes that it is time to carry out a necessary military reform.

Since ancient times, I have only heard of Tibetan soldiers for the people, and I have never heard of Tibetan soldiers for soldiers. There have been several battles of 800,000 to 100,000 in history, although most of them are exaggerated, but this reason is still accurate.

It is now difficult for Xiao Tian to have an arquebus per person, and the same is true for warships. About half of his ships now have flamethrowers, and the remaining half, many of them have only a pitiful one or two cannons. It is more appropriate to be armed with merchant ships than warships.

Of course, in fact, the Spaniards and Portuguese were not as good as him, and in the sixteenth century they were able to do this, and Xiaotian's equipment was already outrageously luxurious.

Some of the brothers themselves did not really want to be soldiers, and they were forced to do so more because of life. For example, most of the Beiwei army under Wang Youtian were refugees from Shandong/Dongdong, including Wang Youtian himself. His original dream was to own a few acres of his own thin fields, as his name suggests.

At the beginning, I couldn't afford to eat when I was hungry, so I had to pin my head to the waistband of my pants and play with my life. Now that life is better and life is beautiful, there are probably not a few people who want to disarm and return to the field to become farmers. Everyone has their own aspirations, and there is no right or wrong.

Besides, his army of nearly 10,000 people is really conspicuous. It is necessary to streamline it, Xiaotian's power will become bigger and bigger in the future, and he will not be able to directly command him.

Therefore, Xiaotian announced in public that those who were willing to live could leave the army.

Each person gets a plantation, a few slaves, a little money, and from now on there is food, drink, and sisters, and the danger is greatly reduced, which is a very good thing no matter how you look at it, and Xiaotian still treats these old brothers very favorably.

Those who are newly thrown into Xiaotian by the sea breeze will share ten acres and eight acres per person at most, and if you want more, you have to spend money to buy them, and they may not sell them to you if you spend money. These retired brethren, each of them has a full share of nearly 100 acres of land.

Not only that, Xiao Tian also generously said that they were allowed to bring weapons home. This was done for two purposes, one was to give them better control over the slaves. Second, it is also so that they can be summoned back at any time if there is anything in the future.

Xiao Tian left a task for these retired veterans, that is, to train the first generation of colonists of the Ming Dynasty for Xiao Tian. Although they have now left the army, Xiao Tian still gave them the name of a reserve.

Xiao Tian scattered them in every corner of Luzon, and each of them was a small leader, responsible for regularly conducting military and political drills for the first batch of colonists, and in the future, the second and third batches would be drilled. It is somewhat similar to the government military system during the Tang Dynasty.

None of the first people who dared to go to sea at this time were good stubble, except for explorers who were outlaws, and almost everyone had their own weapons. With a little drilling, the combat effectiveness will not be lower than that of the county soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Xiao Tian is not worried about the loyalty of these reserves, he has this confidence. For these soldiers, Xiaotian is tantamount to their reborn parents, and even many people have regarded Xiaotian as a god. Even those civilians who go to sea will at least regard Xiaotian as an idol.

Although Xiao Tian doesn't like Tartars, he still greatly appreciates Nurhachi's Eight Banners system. In this world, this Eight Banners system has naturally become Xiaotian's initiative. He divided the old brothers who left the barracks into eight banners with the first batch of colonists, who were citizens on weekdays, but once Xiaotian issued a mobilization order, he would take up arms and be soldiers.

Of course, the remaining brethren were treated better. Not only have their families been allocated more land, but their salaries have also been greatly improved.

Half. From nearly 100,000 people, it suddenly became more than 40,000.

The combat effectiveness of naval warfare mainly depends on ships and not on people, so his naval combat ability is not much worse.

As for land warfare, the Eight Banners moved freely, and the speed of colonization was a little faster than before. The rest of the army is the elite of the real elite. It's also a little better equipped. Besides, if there is really any large-scale land war, under Xiaotian's mobilization order, I am afraid that the combat power will increase instead of decreasing.
