The soldiers have a strong physique, good military literacy, excellent armor, sharp weapons and a brave heart, and the people have nothing, even a brute force will not be used, it can be said that there is a world of difference, not to mention anything else, it is a round of arrow rain, these more than 800 so-called village warriors will be shot into hedgehogs......

Yuan San sighed, turned his head and lowered his voice and said to 6 Haoshan: "Brother Shan, if you want to train an elite soldier, investment is indispensable, the three armies have not worked, the grain and grass go first, I know that you have secretly raised a lot of money and food, but you must first figure it out, the first sentence is the army, since it is the army, then the weapons and equipment must be indispensable, I don't know how Brother Shan is prepared?" ”

"I haven't prepared yet" 6 Haoshan confessed helplessly: "I haven't taken care of it a few days ago, either I don't have time or no silver, or I have a little silver, and I don't have a way, even if the third brother doesn't say it, I will also discuss with you what kind of weapons and equipment to build." ”

"There are many kinds of good weapons and equipment, what are you going to plant?"

"What kinds?"

Yuan Sanshu said like a treasure: "There are more, such as armor has iron armor, cotton armor, fish scale armor, mountain armor, chain mail, cover armor, etc., as for weapons, there are also a lot of weapons, long spears and short spears, long knives and short knives, bows and arrows, fire systems, bird systems, three-eyed guns, five-eyed systems, seven-eyed systems, Hongyi cannons, etc., it can be said that there are countless of them, it is better to say this, Brother Shan, what kind of army do you want to build?" ”

6 Haoshan said without hesitation: "If you ask the third brother to go out to train the army, it is natural to train an elite cavalry. ”

"Yes, the cavalry has a fast response, flexible combat, and strong impact, so it is a good choice" Yuan San said with a smile: "Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty Li Shimin has a Xuanjia army under his command, which can be said to be prestigious, and only 3,000 people in Shanhaiguan defeated ten times the enemy, and now the mainstream of the battle is also cavalry, but the price of building an elite soldier is not small." ”

"Third brother, please come here" 6 Haoshan said with a smile: "The younger brother doesn't know anything about this, and I ask the third brother to give me advice and introduce me, so that I can make a preparation." ”

Yuan San was originally a cavalryman, and he had been by Inspector Yuan's side for a long time, so he knew these things well, and said with a smile: "You are asking the right person, your third brother is quite familiar with cavalry confidence, what do you want to ask?" ”

"How much does a cavalry cost per year?" After 6 Haoshan finished speaking, he immediately added: "I'm talking about the elite level. ”

Jiangyou is a small county, it is not suitable to raise a large number of troops, so as not to arouse suspicion of others, can only slowly show the picture, the infantry mobility is too poor, once surrounded, it is difficult to break through, it must be the priority of the cavalry, or the elite level of cavalry.

After thinking for a while, Yuan San began to introduce: "Now that the infantry and cavalry are synchronized, an ordinary cavalry receives a salary of eighteen taels a year, an average of one tael and five taels of silver per month, and eight taels of good horses per horse, but now that the war is raging, I believe that the best good horses will not be less than ten taels, and each horse needs two taels of grain and beans per month, and the expenses will increase in wartime, that is to say, at least twenty-four taels of grain and beans are needed a year, and the cost of a three-eyed gun is about one tael of silver, and the cost of a sword, bow and arrow, and short knife is about two taels of silver, and the cost of a bird is about five taels. The cavalry is mainly lightweight, and each set of helmet and cotton armor costs six taels of silver, so that the annual expenditure of a cavalry is about sixty-five taels."

"Of course, these sixty-five taels do not include the soldiers' food and rewards, such as the increase in food prices, the sickness and injury of personnel, pensions, the aging of horses, the loss of losses and other expenses, these are a huge expense, some sudden situations also have to be prepared, the loss of ammunition, the damage to the armor, the reserve of war horses, etc., can not be taken lightly, it is an example of weapons, like firearms, that is just the cost, for the use of the imperial army, it is contraband to outsiders, even if there is silver, it is difficult to buy, even if you want to buy, the price has to be doubled, Brother Shan, You've got to do what you can. ”

Raising an army is equivalent to a loser, 6 Haoshan gasped, Nima, this is too expensive, according to Yuan San, to build an elite cavalry, a year of conservative and a hundred taels of silver, he is a seven-pin county order, a year's excellent Lu is only thirty or forty taels, there is no means, half of the cavalry can not afford to support, no wonder as soon as the war is fought, Emperor Chongzhen cries everywhere and collects money, it is too much money.

Of course, the imperial court saves more money than private individuals to support the army, such as grain, beans and forage can be collected, weapons and equipment can be built by themselves, enclosure training does not cost money, and people can be used to build military camps, etc., if the army is privately raised, only those wealthy families dare to think.

6 Haoshan thought for a while, the money and silver that he could use in his hand was less than 70,000 taels, and he used a large sum of money to appease Yuan San and others in front of him, that is to say, he could use about 60,000 taels, and he had to leave a part of the emergency, and then remove the capital needed for tea and horse trading, and now he would establish a cavalry of three or five hundred people at most.

"It's too costly." 6 Haoshan couldn't help but say.

"Yes," Yuan San said with a straight face: "So Brother Wei has always advised you to be cautious, to be a soldier is to fight with your life, if you don't get the money for selling your life, the soldiers will mutiny." ”

This 6 Haoshan knows that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was common to drag salaries, and soldiers relied on military salaries to support their families, and if they couldn't get their salaries, their families would have to starve, so could they not get fired? As soon as he got on fire, he made trouble, hung the generals and beat and tortured, and Zuo Liangyu, a famous general in the Ming Dynasty, was also hung up and beaten by his subordinates because he was not paid.

6 Haoshan nodded and said, "Third Brother Xie, I know how to do it." ”

"And the plan continues?"

"Of course continue"6 Haoshan said with a firm face: "What I have decided will never change. ”

Yuan San nodded with a bit of a complicated mood, for this brother, he knew that it would be difficult to change when he decided, especially when he had a series of plans early in the morning, using the new army to escort the caravan for tea and horse trading, and using the profits earned by the caravan to feed the army, the two complement each other, just imagine, hundreds of well-trained private soldiers escort the caravan, and which thief dares to think about it, even when the officers and soldiers enforce the law, they have to secretly weigh whether they can be suppressed.

The investment of tens of thousands of taels at every turn is really willing, but when he took him in, he already reflected his extraordinary courage.

"That's good" Yuan San said with a straight face: "Brother Shan, you took me in when I was in the most difficult time, recognized me as a brother, don't say anything, your business is my business, don't worry, I will definitely do it properly for you." ”

"Third Brother Xie, we are blessed and enjoyed, and we are in trouble." 6 After Haoshan finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand and raised it in the air, Yuan San saw it, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and "snapped", and slapped his hands in the air, which can be regarded as completing a man's agreement.

After clapping their hands, the two smiled at each other, feeling a little sympathetic, Yuan San asked casually: "Brother Shan, how are you going to solve those weapons and equipment?" ”

"I also have a headache" 6 Haoshan spread his hands and said helplessly: "I'm going to ask skilled craftsmen to build it while looking for a way, it's really not good, just find some ordinary ones and use them first, and slowly improve." ”

Yuan San thought for a while, lowered his voice and said: "The war in Liaodong is like a bottomless pit, the army is dragging its salaries, many quartermasters resell military materials, as long as they can afford to give silver, they can get anything, good weapons and equipment are not something that ordinary blacksmiths can create." ”

"The third brother is right, I think the same way, but there is no way." 6 Haoshan said with mixed feelings.

These things are contraband, ordinary people dare not touch them, not only sell carefully, but also buy carefully, even if there is silver, you may not be able to buy, 6 Haoshan has paid attention to this news since he copied Chen Gui's property, but there has been no progress.

Yuan San smiled bitterly and said: "A few months ago, it was just a small problem for your third brother, but unfortunately now it is different from the past, those people are estimated to be more afraid of seeing me than seeing ghosts, brother, love can't help." ”

"Little brother understands, I will think." 6 Haoshan said with a smile.

Troubles are a unique kind of human feelings, which will not change due to a person's gender, status, wealth and poverty, everyone has troubles, for example, Comrade Chongzhen is troubled by how to fight against Houjin, Yuan San is troubled because he doesn't know how to persuade 6 Haoshan, and 6 Haoshan is troubled by the formation of a new army
