"If we want to recruit 100,000 young people this year, the number of displaced people should reach about 300,000. For farm tools and cattle, 200,000 taels of silver are required, plus water conservancy and other miscellaneous expenses, the maximum will not exceed 300,000 taels. There is no need to buy grain, and it will not be a problem for the current stocks to support the autumn harvest, and there should be a lot of surplus after the autumn harvest in the tundi. After Tang Zhengze went back, he took the meeting to calculate and calculate the expenses for Zhao Yan.

"We still need to buy grain, and we can sell it if we don't use it. Since Jimin Commercial Bank has taken this name, it should give relief to the poor people, as long as it does not lose money. Zhao Yan shook his head and said.

"The villain is taught." Tang Zhengze hurriedly said.

"Huh! Zhonglin, go get busy! The burden of resettling the displaced is on you. Zhao Yan smiled, Tang Zhengze is very good at this, and it is most appropriate for him to complete it.

Then Zhao Yan took his own soldiers to inspect the barracks, and this time, Zhao Yong, Lin Yi, and Wang Wenyue each received an official position of a thousand households.

However, Zhao Yanjun did not adopt the military system of the official army, and the rank in the official army was equivalent to a military rank in Zhao Yanjun, which was different from the actual position.

The number of soldiers in the infantry battalion was expanded to 1,400, plus 300 men of the Axle Heavy Company, as well as scouts and heralds, bringing the number to 1,800.

The two infantry battalions combined at the moment have 3,600 people.

Lin Yi's cavalry battalion is recruiting troops everywhere at the moment, planning to expand to 1,000 people, and the recruitment targets have shifted from the displaced people to those states and counties.

Just after the fussing, this benefit, the recruitment of soldiers and horses can be above board. Shandong's folk customs are relatively strong, and there are still those who are proficient in equestrianism.

All three of them were training these newly recruited soldiers in the camp, and the training was very hard, and they spent almost every day in tiring training.

Every morning after waking up, shouting the trumpet for a morning run, and then starting to eat. Then there is technical training for the troops, pikemen practice marksmanship, musketeers practice loading process and marksmanship, and longbow soldiers practice projectile.

In the afternoon, combat drills, weight-bearing cross-country and camping training were conducted, and ideological education was conducted in the evening.

Although it was very hard, the treatment was very high, and the soldiers were distressed and the education committee enlightened them, and only a very few persisted and ran back to farming.

Good treatment allows them to persevere, and high death benefits allow them to fight to the death.

In this age of lack of national consciousness, what more clever means could there be than silver? Ideological education is not achieved overnight, it has to be instilled and repeated over a long period of time.

Only with a high salary can soldiers concentrate on fighting, not bothered by firewood, rice, oil and salt, and not worried about being killed or wounded in battle. As for the compulsory military service system, Zhao Yan is not Zhu Youzhen, there is not so much population, and he is not a monarch.

Of course, if we play the banner of communism and equal division of real estate, I believe that there will be many such soldiers who are not afraid of death and do not want money. Li Zicheng only became big among thieves by playing such a banner.

But this is not in line with Zhao Yan's philosophy, in his opinion, the situation of high concentration of land does need to be solved, but the means should be a combination of rigidity and flexibility.

After all, each era has a different environment. Those rich people get rich through various means, except for those Jin merchants who betray the nation, it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and more is the lack of supervision.

Kill with one shot and deprive them all, that's just a banditry. Often, this behavior is followed by a new regression.

The training is basically on the right track, and there is no need for Zhao Yan to interfere. Moreover, Zhao Yong and the three of them have been instilled with the concept of war for these years, and they already have a preliminary understanding of what to do.

Zhao Yan and the three of them entered the camp tent and spread out a map, which was the map of Denglai Erfu, which was marked with many red dots, and these red dots were the places occupied by those bandits.

"You train for another month, and then start to clear out the Denglai bandits, how to completely eradicate these bandits, do you have any ideas?" Zhao Yan asked the three of them.

"There are many mountains in Dengzhou, and it may not be easy to suppress bandits. Those bandits often hid in the mountains when the situation was bad, or they defended the danger of the situation. Except for the mountainous area north of Zhaoyuan, the rest of Laizhou is mostly plains and hilly areas, and the cavalry battalion is enough to deal with it. Therefore, the infantry battalion should be used to suppress Dengzhou, the cavalry battalion should be stationed in Laizhou, and the infantry battalion and the cavalry battalion should each send a part of their troops and horses to assist in the attack. Wang Wenyue said.

Last time, he suppressed bandits in the Laizhou section, but he didn't encounter many tricky nails, but Zhao Yong, who was in the Dengzhou section of the bandits, encountered a lot of trouble.

"Yes." Zhao Yong nodded in agreement, the trickiness of the Dengzhou bandits is deeply understood, those bandits can't beat and run, even if their strength is stronger than them, it's useless.

"While the infantry battalion is suppressing bandits in Dengzhou, it should also keep an eye on the whereabouts of those bandits at any time. It is better to mobilize the masses and let them give us clues. Zhao Yong suggested.

"Hmmm! Not bad. Zhao Yan nodded.

"Childe, what should we do with those local heroes?" Lin Yi asked, many of those places are powerful and have some connections with officials in the officialdom.

Zhao Yan sneered, patted Lin Yi's shoulder, and said, "Your old business." ”

The old line! Lin Yi's old profession is horse bandits.

Zhu Dadian was unwilling to help Zhao Yan top the tank, so Zhao Yan naturally had to go into battle shirtless.

If you go to exterminate them openly, it is inevitable that someone will take a copy of it in the court. Although Zhao Yan can be self-reliant, and he does not instigate him Zhu Youzhen, he can be low-key or try to be low-key, and it is not good to make too much trouble.

……

Then Zhao Yan went to the Ordnance Bureau, and the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau had already manufactured the hydraulic forging machine, which was a relatively primitive hydraulic press.

With a hydro forging machine, it is possible to make plate armor.

Armor not only reduces the number of casualties among soldiers, but also significantly increases the courage of soldiers. With strong protection, soldiers can attack unstoppable regardless of enemy attacks.

Plate armor is much simpler than other armor in terms of building, mainly by directly pressing it into plates with a forging machine, and it does not have to be slowly built and assembled one by one like chain mail and scale armor. It is naturally impossible to make plate armor by hand, and the blacksmith can't pick up such a large hammer.

Zhao Yan only has a structural understanding of plate armor, and he only has a very rudimentary understanding of the manufacturing process.

Therefore, Zhao Yan plunged into technical research again, with more than a dozen craftsmen who were good at making armor, and the skills of these craftsmen just made up for Zhao Yan's shortcomings.

When Zhao Yan later made plate armor in the research institute, he mastered the general technology, and the technology in the details had some flavor of tofu slag engineering.

The reversal of the situation of the Hundred Years' War between England and France in the middle of the 14th century was not unrelated to the invention of plate armor. The confrontation between plate armor and the English longbow is considered a typical example of the "shield" surpassing the "spear", and it is also a sign of the maturity of plate armor.

From the 16th century to the beginning of the 17th century, plate armor entered its heyday, effectively resisting the attacks of hot and cold weapons at that time. Neither early arquebuses, swords, spears, axes, nor ancient bows and crossbows were effective against plate armor. As a result, a new period in history was ushered in, and experts worked hard to develop a large number of strange new weapons in order to pierce armor.

Zhao Yan studied in the Ordnance Bureau for more than half a month, and finally created the plate armor and determined the standard of the plate armor.

The pikeman's plate armor protected only his chest and arms, plus a shield tied to his hands, and a helmet. plus the weight of the spear, the total is twenty-five pounds.

The place where the pikemen are attacked is usually the upper body, so it is only necessary to put on the upper body protection, and the shield is mainly used to protect the face, just raise your hand to cover the face.

The cavalry's plate armor is also only to protect the upper body, Zhao Yan didn't plan to make the cavalry plate armor so perverted, the helmet has a glass that moves up and down like a back hard hat, but it is made of iron. When pulled down, it covers the nose and does not affect the field of vision.

The weight of the cavalry's plate armor was five pounds heavier than that of the infantry, reaching thirty pounds. This weight does not have much impact on the war horse.

The first update, I didn't arrange the time yesterday, and I got up too late. Let's watch two more today! The next chapter is around 11 o'clock!
