212 Expand a main division
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's examination system will undoubtedly greatly speed up this progress, what Hong Tiancheng needs to do now is to have enough strength to ensure that this system can continue to develop, this kind of spiritual encroachment that destroys people's culture and language, in the early stage, was the strongest resistance, for contemporary young people, let alone learning Chinese, just let them convert is already difficult to accept.
Therefore, the curtailment of this cultural invasion and the replacement of the time cycle must rely on strong military suppression, iron and blood is the most convenient and direct way to solve the problem, and it is far more difficult to convince a person than to convince a person.
[The host has chosen the second way to receive it, and the personal reputation rewards will not be distributed for accumulation for the time being, and the rest of the rewards will be distributed:
1. 25,000 sin points;
2. Three lucky draw chances. 】
After Hong Tiancheng saw the reward, his eyes lit up, and he directly spent 25,000 sin points to exchange for a full Taiping Army elite musketeer infantry division!
This is a formed infantry division with civilian logistics officers and all military chief adjutants, a total of 13,160 people, and it can be pulled out and can go directly to the battlefield, or a real die-hard elite!
It can be said that Hong Tiancheng instantly had a main infantry division with explosive combat effectiveness.
Although this infantry division lacks cavalry and artillery, the ability to fight head-on will not be bad, and the scout cavalry only needs to use the captured local war horses to hand over to the elite infantry of the Taiping Army, and let them train a few mounted infantry, artillery......
Well, this is really a problem, Hong Tiancheng captured all backward and old city defense artillery, transportation is extremely troublesome, it is a burden for the march, the most important thing is that Hong Tiancheng does not have a qualified gunner, when he shoots the artillery, he almost looks at the face, and he can barely do it when attacking the city, the city defense system is a fixed target, stretching for several miles and has a large volume, after the general direction is placed, it can always hit a lot for half a day, but in the field, these amateur and part-time artillerymen are very chicken.
Artillery can be said to be the most literate class in this era, there is no one!
Ranging, wind speed, muzzle adjustment angle, etc., all require basic mathematical knowledge, and for the Taiping Army, a group of big-headed soldiers who can only kill people and play with muskets and swords, learning mathematics is really a bit difficult......
Unless Hong Tiancheng really uses a few years to open an artillery school and slowly train artillery talents, unfortunately, Hong Tiancheng does not want to wait.
All said that almost all the mobile artillery captured by the Taiping army today was used in siege cities, and it was rarely taken out in the field to make a sound.
Of course, Hong Tiancheng's occupation of so many cities is not only the benefits provided by the all-out war system, not to mention the captured materials, the military factories and blacksmith shops and other workshops in those big cities provide a steady stream of ammunition and weapons for the Taiping army, and the weapons that the Taiping army was exchanged for are just ordinary goods, and they will also be worn out and consumed in battle, and these occupied firearms workshops are obviously very much compensated for the needs of the Taiping army's high-intensity operations.
The biggest financial consumption of the establishment of the army lies in the installation of the first batch of weapons, and the later war losses are mainly reflected in the ammunition and a small number of weapons, not much, not to mention that the Taiping army has won many battles, and the capture alone can make up for the losses, and now the biggest task of the gun workshop under the rule of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is to modify the arquebus.
The role of the flintlock pistol on the battlefield has been vividly played, and the various battles of the rise of the Taiping Army have long been placed on the table of the ruling class of Eastern European countries, which certainly has the factor that the Taiping Army is not afraid of death, but the firing rate of the flintlock pistol is several times higher than that of the arquebus is also valued by the rulers of Eastern European countries, and now, whether it is the Russian Empire or the Kingdom of Sweden, they have begun to install the flintlock pistol on a large scale.
The technology of the flintlock pistol was simple, there was no bottleneck for the countries of Eastern Europe, the only thing that limited them was the scale of production and the almighty money.
The state needs money to build weapons!
Not everyone can directly use the robbed holy treasury system and a large number of white official slaves to support the operation of the ordnance factory like Hong Tiancheng opened a plug-in.
Although the countries of Eastern Europe began to order the full modification of arquebuses and the production of flintlock muskets, the speed of installation between countries was extremely large, the fastest was the Kingdom of Sweden, which had the most developed workshop manufacturing, and the slowest was naturally the extremely backward Crimean Khanate......
In fact, in the Crimean Khanate, only a small number of the great nobles and the khan's guards began to be equipped with flintlock muskets, and most of the Crimean troops did not even give permission to change their equipment......
Eastern European countries began to pay attention to the flintlock pistol, Hong Tiancheng naturally knew, but he also knew very well that from the importance to the installation, this process has gone through more than ten years is too normal, the production and transformation of arquebuses is not a matter of lip service, even if the country can come up with enough money, it also needs to go through a slow process of production and reloading.
Hong Tiancheng believes that by the time the countries of Eastern Europe complete their outfit change, with the expansion power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they will already be proud of the whole of Eastern Europe, and it is even possible that the countries of Eastern Europe will never see the day when they will be fully dressed!
After exchanging more than 13,000 elite infantry divisions of the Taiping Army, Hong Tiancheng immediately used three lottery opportunities.
The first time, because of the increased probability, 1,000 Ottoman Sultan's personal soldiers were drawn again, and the second time was drawn a class that I had never seen before.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for drawing 5,000 Polish Scythemen.]
Troop Profile: The most basic militia of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, or the militia of the villagers, they are not even in the establishment of the local Polish government, and only when the war breaks out, they will take the lead of the local Polish government personnel and take up crude agricultural tools and weapons to participate in the war.
These Polish scythes were more tasked with defending their homeland and dwellings, and they were rarely sent to the front line of battle, because that would be tantamount to murder, and the Polish government would only recruit suitable men from the Polish scythes when the army was extremely scarce, and they would be uniformly trained and distributed to form a real militia.
This is a pure army of farmers, they are just farmers who have just taken up arms, and they fight on the instincts of ordinary people, and the only advantage is probably the basic loyalty and the rare number of 5,000 people.
It is advisable to advise the host to conduct strict military training on them, and to distribute them with weapons that they can actually use in combat, and then assign them specific tasks, at the very least, to make them militia. 】
"Polish scytheman...... Well, it's 5,000 people anyway, and they can still serve as security forces after training, better than those aristocratic private soldiers who always want to escape, and each person is equipped with muskets and swords to be enough to serve as security forces. ”
When Hong Tiancheng saw the reward of the third draw, his eyes couldn't help but become strange.
