Chapter 241: Expanding the Army
Although a certain city lord vigorously advocates that "those in power don't have to do everything themselves", as long as he has free time, he will never let go of the opportunity to do something practical or observe the people's feelings. Especially now that the territory has just been upgraded, how can Ah Niu really be idle, and even when his close allies Emperor Wu of Han, the dashing Zhao Long and others communicate with each other, they were beaten a hundred miles away by a certain city lord with a few words.
The administrative structure of Fengxiang City is basically completed, and the next focus of Ah Niu is on the army.
Fengxiang's current military strength is as follows:
Trapped: 79.
First to die: 492.
Regular troops: 1o74 people.
Water Army: 2oo people.
Dark flower: 1o1 people.
Except for the "dark flower" that does not occupy the number of troops, the total number of the rest of the troops is 1,845 people, in the just-concluded battle with the Yellow Turban Army, although Feng Xiang lost a total of 911 people, but most of them were militia and junior martial artists in Wuwei Town, and the regular troops together only lost 155 people.
Among all the troops in the territory, the two special units of the trap faction and the first to die have the right of first choice. Considering that it is more difficult for these two troops to recruit soldiers, Ah Niu has not set an upper limit on the number of troops that can be trapped in battle and ascended first, and there is as much as they can recruit.
During Ah Niu's trip to Luoyang, many of the displaced people recruited by Fengxiang met the standards of Gao Shun and Ju Yi, but because of the upper limit of the number of troops in the territory, a small number of soldiers failed to enlist. Now that the maximum number of soldiers in Fengxiang City has reached as many as 10,000, it's time to expand the army!
A certain city lord still has reservations about the expansion of the army, although the expansion of the army can enhance the military strength of the territory, but it is not without negative effects.
It is not a simple matter to increase the army of the territory, and the equipment and salary of the army have to be considered. If there is no planned blind expansion of the army, it is likely that the economy of the territory will not be able to bear the burden and eventually collapse, such a situation is absolutely unwilling to be seen.
Although the population of Fengxiang is much higher than that of other territories, and although Fengxiang's economic strength is also very considerable, it is still unrealistic to expand the army of 2,000 people to 10,000 at once, and the total population of Fengxiang's direct territories is only more than 20,000. The rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and of course a certain city lord knows this truth.
Conventional troops.
This force is the most basic defense force of the territory, not only to defend Fengxiang City, but also almost all the subordinate territories, which can be described as a heavy responsibility. The original 12oo people were obviously insufficient, except for the permanent troops of some affiliated territories, Fengxiang actually only had 3oo regular troops stationed, and there was an obvious lack of manpower.
In the just-concluded World War I, Feng Xiang, who seemed to have a strong force, actually caused the militia of Wuwei Town, a subordinate territory, to suffer heavy sacrifices! This incident strongly stimulated Ah Niu, whose responsibility is it to fight desperately? Could it be the common people? In the past, it could be said that there was a shortage of manpower, but now it is clear that this problem is no longer the problem.
With a stroke of the pen, the establishment of the regular army was raised to 25oo people.
Trolls.
Fengxiang's army was built in the shortest time, and it also tried to cry for the first time in the last battle, although due to the short training time and other reasons, it failed to show much combat effectiveness, but Fengxiang's naval army expansion is also the general trend. Not to mention anything else, the most realistic thing is the maritime trade with the Wuhuan tribe, and the troops of 2oo people are really less.
In fact, a certain city lord has higher expectations for the water army. With a strong water army, you can take the initiative in the struggle for control of rivers and oceans!
Sun Jian is still in Luoyang as his "Beijing official", and the NPC forces' naval army has basically not shown its strength now, but it can already be seen on the forum that some lord players who rely on the sea and the river have begun to vigorously display their naval army, although it is not yet a climate, but the battle for sea control in the future will undoubtedly be quite fierce.
Feng Xiang has considerable advantages in this regard, with Gonggong ancestral halls, golden carps, top shipyards, master shipbuilders, and historical generals like Jiang Qin presiding over the naval army. After having these conditions, if Feng Xiang's sailor can't walk sideways, then simply wipe his neck!
Ah Niu gave Jiang Qin a new establishment: the navy army can be expanded to 1ooo people.
For this number, it is estimated that Jiang Qin's efforts have been enough for a long time. Fengxiang's sailors were all selected from the fishermen, and there was no need to adapt to life on the water, and now that there were 800 more places at once, Jiang Qin's selection of soldiers was a troublesome matter. Although there are many villagers in Fengxiang, if some landlubbers come out, I am afraid that it will take a long time to deal with "seasickness".
Cavalry.
Since Luoyang Xing took over Li Jin, a certain city lord has been eagerly looking forward to establishing Fengxiang's first cavalry unit! Li Jin's "cavalry proficiency" makes him a natural cavalry general.
In fact, the cavalry general that Ah Niu liked at first was not Li Jin, but the fifth brother Zhao Yun! Zilong's lancers are famous all over the world, and a certain city lord's expectations for Zilong have never been low. It's a pity that Zhao Yun is now bent on traveling, and he can't come back for a while, and Feng Xiang's cavalry troops can't be shelved there forever, especially when Li Jin appears, the formation of cavalry troops has become a top priority.
"No matter how much, when Zilong comes back and asks him to form another army, it seems that no one has stipulated that there can't be two cavalry! I don't know who is more powerful than Zilong and Li Jin? When a certain city lord thought of this problem, he indulged in it and couldn't extricate himself.
In fact, it's not just Ah Niu who is curious about this question. After Zhao Xue suffered a small loss under Li Jin, she hatefully threatened to find her brother to "clean up" Li Jin, as soon as this remark came out, it not only made Li Jin a little uneasy, but also made many "idle" people curious, such as Li Qi and Liu Xing, these two still have some knowledge of Zilong's kung fu.
Zhao Xue is still a little girl, and her hard work is already so powerful, and Li Jin also relied on Zhao Xue's strength to force a hard fight, and only gained the upper hand after eighty moves. Seeing Zhao Xueyi's adoring look when he talked about his brother, Li Jin's heart couldn't help but "cluck". But that's all, what swelled up immediately was boundless war intent.
After returning to Fengxiang, Li Jin went to visit Di Yun many times, and now Di Yun can basically get out of bed and walk around, but it is a pity to miss this battle with the Yellow Turban Army. The two are of the same age, and they are both frank men, and they have gradually become irreversible friends, and for real friends, the difference in strength is simply fleeting.
Di Yun and Li Jin are so good, and Zhao Xue's attitude towards Li Jin has gradually eased. Threatening to let Zhao Yun "clean up" Li Jin is just a joke, but the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional, Li Jin is looking forward to Zhao Yun returning to Fengxiang as soon as possible, so that the two can have a good exchange.
Ah Niu also wanted to see what the result of the battle between the two was, but a certain city lord not only wanted to know the victory or defeat of Zhao Yun and Li Jin's personal battle, but also wanted to know the combat effectiveness of the troops when the two of them each commanded a cavalry!
Li Jin was ordered to form Fengxiang's first cavalry unit, with a quota of 5oo soldiers. Li Jin, who had been idle since arriving at Fengxiang, was immediately full of energy as if he had taken a stimulant.
The number of this army seems to be a little less, but in fact, in Feng Xiang's large-scale expansion of the army, the biggest consumption is this cavalry of 5oo people!
Since it is cavalry, war horses are obviously indispensable. The price of a war horse is actually not "too expensive", but a few hundred are ...... Moreover, the follow-up cost of the war horse is very high, even if with Feng Xiang's strength, a cavalry team of 5oo people was formed at once, and a certain city lord felt quite painful.
In addition to the high feeding consumption of war horses, there is another reason that makes Fengxiang's cavalry unit limited to 5oo people: in the first transaction with the Wuhuan clan, there are only five hundred war horses.
The first war horse transaction between the Wuhuan clan and Feng Xiang is about to be in place in terms of time. In fact, Ah Niu doesn't have to wait for the war horses of the Wuhuan clan to form cavalry, Feng Xiang now has ready-made war horses, and there are quite a few of them!
-- In the battle of the Little Heavenly Master, more than 8oo war horses captured by Feng Xiang have not been used. Before the successful negotiation with Wu Huan, Ah Niu originally planned to keep these war horses for emergencies, but due to the full limit of soldiers in the territory and the lack of cavalry generals, those war horses have been idle.
After the negotiation was successful, Ah Niu soon went to Luoyang again, and after returning to the territory, he has been busy upgrading the territory and dealing with the attack of the Yellow Turban Army, and the more than 8oo war horses have not played their due role.
In the style of a certain city lord, either don't do it, or do your best if you want to do it. Since Feng Xiang is going to form the first cavalry unit, with a first-class military general like Li Jin, naturally he can't take some "bad horses" to fill the number, before the Wuhuan Shangpin war horse is in place, the captured horses are acceptable to use in training, but if it is used to equip the troops, a certain city lord still feels that the grade is a little lower.
The more than 4ooo Yellow Turban soldiers who surrendered in the previous battle became a part of Fengxiang happily after many original "colleagues" showed up and really understood Fengxiang's high salary and benefits.
Gao Shun and Ju Yi each gained from these 6ooo villagers, adding 25 soldiers to the trapping camp and 187 soldiers to the first death.
After the selection of the various troops, the remaining displaced people were properly resettled under the arrangement of Chen Gong. In fact, most of these new villagers went to Wuwei Town and Wangsheng Town.
Wuwei Town had just suffered heavy losses in a bloody battle, while Wangsheng Town was a newly promoted second-level township, and after the needs of these two territories were satisfied, the rest were all placed in Fengxiang City. (To be continued)
