Chapter 235: Equipment Update, Placement of Spies
Liang Sijiu knew that it was time for him to speak, so he stepped forward and said, "My lord, the cavalry brigade has a quota of four thousand, but to this day, we have only gathered one thousand one hundred and forty-nine war horses. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Huh? Why is this, when the new army was first established, it was naturally not very complete, which requires you to practice day and night," Li Jingxin said that he had spent a lot of effort to reluctantly draw hundreds of cavalry troops from various armies, where could he easily send them back, and said directly, "As for the iron hammers, they were all obtained by capturing the officers and soldiers, so let's make do with them first, and then recruit some blacksmiths when the mines in the Xishan of Chunxian County come out, and see if we can make a batch of swords." ”
Liang Sijiu looked at the generals around him, and saw that they were also helping, so he suddenly didn't dare to say more, "Huh." ”
"But your cavalry brigade is very important, and I see that you are also lacking in skills," Li Jing pretended to think about one or two, but in fact he had already communicated with Liang Sijiu, "And Ning You is full of poetry and books, and he has not been rewarded for his merits, so today you will be removed from the post of deputy marshal of the teaching brigade, and Ning You will be appointed deputy marshal of the teaching brigade!" ”
Liang Sijiu naturally had no opinion, he deliberately stepped forward to ask Li Jing to beat, at this moment, Ning You was very excited, from the battalion to the deputy marshal, in fact, the first brigade of moderation, or the teaching brigade known as the division of the whole army, what else did he have to complain about, hurry out of the ranks, bow to the ground, and call the lord three times.
"How are the instructors staffed now?" Li Jing took advantage of today's efforts to prepare to understand the details of the next step, especially the construction of the teaching brigade and the cavalry brigade.
Liang Sijiu said directly in front of the new deputy commander of the teaching brigade, "Previously, 200 elite generals were transferred from various armies to fill the teaching brigade, and the shelves were set up, but according to the five-battalion system of the main public, each battalion numbered 1,500 people, but in fact, each battalion only had more than 600 people, and the shortage was very large. ”
"Woo, the teaching brigade is the elite of the whole army, and now there are only 4,000 people, but there is a way to prefer lack to excess, after you take office, remember to maintain it carefully, and be sure not to fall into the name of the teaching brigade." Li Jing commanded.
He also fixed his eyes on the other generals, "The teaching brigade implements the rotation system, and I have ordered the collection of tactics of the art of war and tactics to be gathered in the teaching brigade, except for the cavalry brigade, and the rest of the brigades will be transferred to each elite in March, and a new battalion will be formed, which will be merged into the teaching brigade to learn new tactics and be familiar with new weapons." ”
When everyone was puzzled, they listened to Li Jing continue, "Limited to the March competition of each army, the first and second in the whole army, Xu the first lieutenant and the second capital of the second capital, and then bring the second capital to gather in Yuanping, each of them will be compared, and the winner will be used as the battalion leader, merged into the teaching brigade, drilled for three months, and then transferred back, and so on."
After training the army, tapping out the talents of the generals below, learning new tactics, and becoming familiar with weapons, wouldn't it be possible to increase the combat strength of each army even more if they returned to their original places? ”
This set has been carefully considered by Li Jing, which not only satisfies the training of the teaching brigade and constantly replenishes fresh blood, but also does not weaken the strength of various armies.
"Very good, my lord." Guo Sheng reacted the fastest, which is beneficial to all armies, not only to have the hope of progress, but also to train the whole army and stimulate the desire of soldiers at all levels.
"After I go back, I will ask all the departments to practice day and night, and never disappoint the good intentions of the lord." The rest of the generals also spoke out in support.
Li Jing nodded, "In this case, this law will be a common practice for all armies, and you can also implement it in each team, the capable will go up, and the mediocre will go down, but we must do a good job in ideological work, and those supervision and guidance must come in handy, and we can't chill the hearts of these generals now. ”
"Whoa."
Tan Wu said again, "Lord, some generals, they are old, although they have made meritorious contributions, but their brains are rigid, I am afraid that once they fail to compete, they will be resentful sooner or later." ”
"Don't be afraid, even if you can't stay in the army, you can go to the state and county," Li Jing didn't take the officials sent by the imperial court into account at all, just a Bodhisattva, and it wasn't a matter of words that could deprive them of their rights?
"If it doesn't work, isn't it okay for the county to be a magistrate?" Li Jing laughed like this, which can be regarded as a complete solution to the worries of this matter.
Chong Ning You said, "Your teaching brigade, after you go down, you will also hold a big competition every month, now there are only 600 people in each battalion, but when you meet a suitable one, you should also supplement some people and horses, you must organize learning, you can't lag behind, in March, you select the soldiers and horses in the battalion, and compete with the soldiers and horses of the large battalions of various departments, if you lose continuously, you must be held accountable." ”
Ning You had a bitter face, and knew that there was nothing good, among the various armies, the selected ones were all elites, even if they couldn't run in, but they were always better than their own ponds of stagnant water, and when the time came, they would be defeated, and they would tarnish the name of the division of the whole army of the teaching brigade, and they couldn't tell how Li Jing should beat himself.
But who allowed himself to sit in this position, he could only take the order hard.
"Lord, those ordnance and muskets are all called new, but now the output is too low, and if you want to cover the whole army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it for a while." Guo Sheng is particularly worried about this, you must know that after Li Jing's reorganization this time, there is a real army quota of 60,000 troops, according to the proportion, it should be equipped with hundreds of tiger squat cannons, and even the general cannons, there should be dozens of them.
Not to mention the other birds, a brigade of 8,000 people, there should be as many as 4,800, with the current 100 per month, what years will it take to complete the redress.
"It's not hard!" Li Jing said what else, waved his hand, and said indifferently, "Xishan excavates open-pit iron mines, and now those criminals have gone to work, using gunpowder to open the road, and they can practice hundreds of catties of iron every day, and I have recruited displaced people from the south, sooner or later I will have enough manpower, if it can be expanded, the output of pig iron will definitely skyrocket, and now the craftsmen are not skilled,
I have decided to expand the number of people in the Gewu Institute to 1,000, and select 600 of them to make this firecracker, and in less than half a year, I will be able to make 100 firecrackers every day, and I am afraid that I will not be able to equip the whole army? ”
Listening to Li Jing's orderly settlement, the generals below were all satisfied, and there was nothing to disagree with.
"Now, what we lack the most is manpower, don't look at the land of the five states, the number of millions of people, but these are our foundation, we must not act rashly, the places where your armies are stationed, mostly bordering the imperial court, now natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, and many people around the country have fled, you just have to rest assured to take over, move into the interior, divide and divide, and it will be able to be used by me."
Li Mao hurriedly came out of the ranks, "My lord, there are few people in Yongning Prefecture, and the displaced people can't replenish it for a while, so please practice the Tuntian camp again." ”
Originally, this term was forgotten, but when it was mentioned by Li Mao at this moment, Zhao Mosheng and Tan Wu just changed their faces, after all, they remembered that Feng Xingman had come in the past.
"Nope." Li Jing shook his head resolutely, in the past, there were Shu in the Three Kingdoms, the people were only one million, and the army was as many as fifty or sixty thousand, but after repeated battles, the national strength was lacking, and now the five states he occupied, the same is true, 60,000 soldiers and horses, if all of them are out of production to fight, the huge financial burden can directly crush Li Jing.
"The Tuntian camp is no longer external, and every army must also work in the field in the morning, and there must be no mistakes."
"This?" Several generals suddenly felt uncomfortable, they were already under pressure, and now they have to work in the fields and start military reclamation, and they have no skills.
Li Jing only felt that people were originally forced out, not to mention that they were all a group of farmers, so he shook his face and said, "What's so difficult about this?!" ”
"Lord, you have to train elite soldiers and work in the field, this consumption is too great, I'm afraid that the physical strength of the soldiers can't keep up." Guo Sheng, who has never complained bitterly, also came with a bitter face.
Li Jing refused, "Rice and noodles and meat, have you ever stopped?" Under the rule of the imperial court, can there be such treatment? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, yes, the treatment given by the imperial court to the officials and soldiers, that is, they were barely fed and pulled down, and the requirements were very high during the battle, didn't the officers and soldiers all survive? Why did you get here, and you pushed back and forth, didn't you stay these days and forget the hardships of the past?
Li Jing said softly, "Don't make it difficult to do, now in this world, if we slack off, sooner or later the court will be exterminated, do you know that to feed a soldier, you need as many as five households, this is not counting the monthly salary, otherwise there will be more than a dozen households, we are based on the people, we can't be untrustworthy, otherwise who will be willing to die for me in the future?!" ”
"Okay, let's go down and sum it up, don't say more." Li Jing waved everyone away and rubbed his head, he worked too hard today, it was really sad.
The moment Wei Xiaobao was released from prison, he pinned all his net worth and life on Li Jing, today I saw him show his own strength, and I was excited in my heart, 60,000 troops, once the drill is completed, and Li Jing's trading company is alive, sooner or later, one day, wave the army to the east, break the Beijing division, call the country change hands, the dragon court changes color, Zhu Youzhen, you deserve to have today!
He didn't leave, just in the same place, came up to beat Li Jing on the back to relieve his pressure, these things, in the palace in the past, did not do less, it is easy to master.
"Xiaobao, in the future, you have to keep an eye on it, and don't let the armies act rashly." Li Jing held his spirit and enjoyed the service of this eunuch.
Wei Xiaobao nodded, "The lord just rest assured, with the day when I hold the Tiance Guard, I will never let any small people bring any trouble to the lord." ”
Li Jing was very satisfied with his attitude, "Well, but your eyes can't just stare at the current one-third of an acre of land, and it's time to start planting dead soldiers outside." ”
"Jingshi's piece, don't worry about it, there are the details I left in the past, just send someone to contact secretly," Wei Xiaobao paused slightly, and then continued to push his back, "But in the land south of the Yangtze River, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a trip for a while." ”
"In the land south of the Yangtze River, when the trade roads are over, you can follow it, there is no need to worry," Li Jing was relieved for a while, and his spirit recovered, "But Jinnan and Qindi, we must quickly establish our intelligence network, I want to know every move in these places." ”
"Whoa!" When Wei Xiaobao heard these murderous words, he immediately responded. (To be continued.) )
