Chapter 340: Three Armies and Eight Schools
Wang Xu's words are the holy decree, the final word!
However, because of this incident, Wang Xu remembered the Qing Dynasty in ancient China, when the Tartar Emperor also paid great attention to blood, and the emperor was not allowed to intermarry with Han women.
This is to prevent the children born in the future from inheriting the unification, and at that time, will the Qing Dynasty still belong to the Manchurians? Isn't it back in the hands of the Han people?
Thinking about it carefully, Jia Hui and the three of them still have a little truth, but Wang Xu doesn't care about this, since Zhaoyang married to the Western Capital, that is his wife, and he should be treated fairly.
As for the children born, it is impossible to inherit the unification no matter what, because there are Wang Zhen and Wang You in front of him, how can it be his turn.
"Okay, that's it, there's no need to discuss it anymore."
Wang Xu said suddenly: "During the time I left the Western Capital, the military and political affairs of the Western Capital were thanks to three people. ”
"Let's talk about it, how is the development of my Western Capital?"
The matter of Zhaoyang was agreed, and the three of them also pulled back the display, Jia Hui took out a piece of music and returned: "My lord, this year, the granary of my western capital has been greatly expanded, in addition to the military rations transported to various places, the granary is stored in more than 500,000 deniers, and there is no problem at all to support it until next year." ”
As soon as Jia Hui finished speaking, Wang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is food, everything is not a problem, and it seems that it is a wise move to implement the tuntian system.
Jia Hui continued: "Zhu Huan pacified the northern prairie this year, recovered all the land of the northern county, and its land is no less than ours, and according to reliable sources, Zhu Huan formulated a new policy, the policy is extremely beneficial to the family, when he recruited talents, he received the support of many literati and Confucian scholars, especially the family, who donated grain, grass, equipment, etc. ”
Wang Xu nodded, it can be seen from this that Zhu is much smarter than Hu Ling.
The foundation of the great cause. Talent is more important than anything else!
But to Wang Xu's surprise, Zhu Huan would have this mind?
Wang Xu's policy is beneficial to the people, but Zhu Huan is to please the family. In this way, for Zhu Huan, the benefits are indeed huge.
"Then you estimate that Zhu Huan's strength is compared to my Western Capital, how about it?"
Jia Hui hadn't spoken yet. Huang Quan said with a smile: "Of course it's the Western Capital!" From Huang Quan's eyes, he can see absolute confidence, Wang Xu smiled slightly, he is also very confident, now that the problem of saltpeter has been solved, there is a secret weapon, why be afraid of Zhu Huan? It can be said that even the elite soldiers of the imperial court can ignore it.
But what Wang Xu and Huang Quan didn't expect was that Jia Hui said with a heavy face: "Lord, don't underestimate Zhu Huan." ”
"What do you mean?"
Jia Hui said: "Zhu Huan integrated the army before March and paraded in the royal city of Beijun. The military system has been reformed, and according to our spies, Zhu Huan's military strength is extremely strong! ”
"He divided all the soldiers into: three armies and eight colonels; The first army, good at siege warfare, 50,000 archers, 50,000 spearmen, 100,000 sword and shield men; The Second Army, which was good at field warfare, was equipped with 200,000 elite cavalry. The war horses are all obtained from the prairie, which is no less than our Hexi war horses; The Third Army, the Third Army was a garrison force, which was responsible for garrisoning all parts of North County. They mainly defend the city, but they are also equipped with war horses, which can flexibly support all parts of the northern county. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Xu was already speechless in shock, Zhu Huan's policy is indeed very good, and it can better train soldiers. Moreover, the division of labor in the army is clear, which is beneficial to the future war with the enemy.
But for what Jia Hui said, Huang Quan was disdainful, he was in charge of the military strength of the three counties, and he was very clear about the strength of the Western Capital, if he really wanted to fight with Zhu Huan, he was absolutely confident!
"And what about the Eight Schools?" Wang Xu continued to ask.
Jia Hui's face became more solemn: "There are a total of 40,000 people in the eight schools, 5,000 people in each school, and the eight generals selected by Zhu Huan are under the command of each other, these 40,000 people are all elite soldiers, heavily armored cavalry, well-equipped, and they are all warriors of a hundred battles!" ”
Hiss...
Wang Xu gasped, 40,000 heavily armored cavalry! Zhu Huan is also bloody!
The heavy cavalry is different from the light cavalry, although the speed of his movement is not as fast as that of the light cavalry, but the combat power is extremely powerful, especially in the field, it can achieve unexpected results.
Moreover, the casualties are minimal!
On this continent, Hexi County and North County have the strength to form heavy armored cavalry, because the war horses required for heavy armored cavalry must be strong! It is necessary to choose from thousands of war horses, and many thousands of horses cannot meet the requirements, mainly depending on the weight of the war horse.
After Jia Hui finished speaking, Wang Xu roughly estimated that Zhu Huan's current military strength should be around 700,000, which is indeed stronger than himself, but Wang Xu is not afraid, there are explosives, and Wang Xu's strength has increased a lot.
Jia Hui also wanted to report on the movements of the imperial court and other places, Wang Xu waved his hand and said, "Give me the chapter, I'll see it myself." ”
Huang Quan came out of the queue at this time, and said suddenly: "Lord, don't listen to Lord Jia's nonsense there, the strength of my Western Capital is no less than any force!" ”
Wang Xu said: "Then you can also talk about it." ”
Huang Quan nodded and said: "Lei Yan, Sun Yu, Qin Shuang, Li Zhi, Qiancang, Min Ling, Liao Yun, Goudan, Jiang Fei have 400,000 elite soldiers in their hands!" Stationed in various parts of the three counties, after this year's training, it has formed a strong combat force! ”
"In addition, after the autumn harvest this year, we have added 150,000 new recruits to the Western Capital, who are currently training in the North School Field, under the direct jurisdiction of our military department, and Zheng Feng, Zheng Li and others will be responsible for training."
"If you count the local troops, the strength of our Western Capital has reached more than 600,000 at the moment, and the Academy of Science and Technology has developed a large number of clay pots, bamboo joints, and other weapons. If there is a big war, we are not afraid of anyone. ”
Huang Quan's words were impassioned and confident, which made Wang Xu feel a lot more at ease.
However, to evaluate whether the strength of the rebel side is strong, it is not to look at the amount of military strength it has, but to see how much grain it has in hand.
It's just that Wang Xu is a little worried, this Zhu Huan was unknown before, and in just one year, he will pull the number of troops to 650,000, but he dare not underestimate it, this development speed is really fast, if he doesn't have 1 explosive, it is really inferior.
Han Shushu seemed to see through Wang Xu's thoughts, and he smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the reason why Zhu Huan can develop so well is completely because of the vast land and the prairie of Beijun, we have three counties, no less than Zhu Huan, as time goes by, it will definitely form a situation where the enemy is weak and I am strong." ”
Wang Xu shook his head silently, among his three counties, only Guxi County can develop agriculture, and the other two counties are at most used as horse farms, compared with the prairie of Zhuhuan and the interior of Beijun, the difference is not half a star, and he has two counties in one county.
"Go down and call Zheng Feng, Zheng Li, and Fukangan." (To be continued.) )
