Chapter 68: Military
Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe American Self-Defense Force has such a large number of people, so naturally it cannot act as a purely professional force, in that case, Zhao Du Tianfa will have to die in the army......
He also wants to keep the gold resources for the expansion of the Han Guard!
In the tuntian system carried out by the soldiers of the American Self-Defense Forces, Zhao Dutian would set aside military fields in their places of residence and cultivate them for the families of these American Self-Defense Army soldiers, and the harvested grain was their military salary!
Of course, the grain harvested is subject to taxation......
The ubiquitous taxation of the Han Empire has the shadow of the country in Zhao Dutian's previous life, which shows how impressive Zhao Dutian was in his previous life about the ubiquitous tax system of that country!
The American Self-Defense Forces will be divided into several parts in various places, and the American Self-Defense Forces will be divided into several parts during the year, and the American Self-Defense Army soldiers who are on leave will be required to help the American Self-Defense Army soldiers on duty to cultivate their families for a period of time to ensure that the land is not abandoned.
The American Self-Defense Army is different from the Han Guard, the soldiers are only trained and on duty for almost half of the year, and they just maintain basic combat effectiveness, because Zhao Dutian didn't expect these American Self-Defense Forces to go to the battlefield at all!
The security forces are enough to defeat the bandits!
Of course, Zhao Dutian, the human resources of the Indians, is not unused!
An army of elite Indian warriors named after the Han Field Army has been trained!
The Han Field Army used muskets contributed by the Indian tribes that took refuge, and the weapons were more mottled, arquebuses, old-fashioned flintlock pistols, new flintlock pistols, everything, and even some soldiers had to be armed with cold weapons due to the lack of firearms, and the Indian army armed with these cold weapons had two infantry regiments!
Instead of a traditional spear, a two-handed sword and machete are used!
Two infantry regiments of Indian cold weapons troops, mainly used as a supplement for melee battles, or as an auxiliary force for siege!
The rest of the Indian field troops are completely firearmed, and although they are filled with a large number of old-fashioned arquebuses, they can fire after all, right?
These firearms Indian field troops are also the size of two infantry regiments, the infantry regiment of the Han Empire can be slightly larger than that of the European powers, and the combat units of the Han Field Army can add up to about 10,000 people, a total of 4 infantry regiments, all officers above the colonel level, all of whom are served by soldiers produced by the system!
Moreover, the instructors of this Han field army are all systematically produced line infantry officers, and the training methods used are almost no different from those of European armies!
Coupled with the 'patriotic education' strengthened by Zhao Dutian, the treatment of superior soldiers, and a certain preferential tax reduction policy for family members, this Han field army is much more morale than the American Self-Defense Force!
Don't look at the American Self-Defense Force, which has land instead of military salaries, but Zhao Dutian has set a special harvest tax rate for this kind of military tuntian, and it is forbidden to buy and sell, and Indians who don't want land are not allowed to enter the American Self-Defense Force!
This is not only to consider the need to pay additional military salaries, but also to make every soldier of the American Self-Defense Force have a concept that I am guarding my hometown, my land is here, so I must protect my hometown!
It's simple, it's simple, it's practical!
Although Zhao Dutian does not expect the American Self-Defense Forces to go out to attack foreign enemies, he still expects these American Self-Defense Forces to contribute to defending the country!
Obviously, when the Indians protect their homeland and land, they will definitely burst out with a different enthusiasm for fighting!
You know, these Self-Defense Forces of the Americas are all locals, and their families are here!
Even if you die in battle, if you can protect your family, it will be worth it for the Indians!
A large number of self-defense forces in the Americas, which were trapped in the land, and the Han field army, which was confused by tax cuts and high treatment, constituted all the armed forces of the Indians!
In addition, all the wealthy and nobles in the Han Empire hired a strict limit on the number of guards they could employ, and the number of guards with muskets could not exceed 10 for high titles!
Although the price of muskets sold in the Han Empire is outrageously high, and only old-fashioned muskets are sold, there are still rich people after all, and there are nobles who buy a few muskets and are brave!
Naturally, there are restrictions on cold weapon guards, but considering that rich people, especially nobles, like to pay attention to a pomp, and their annuity is not enough to eat and drink, so the number of people is relaxed, anyway, cold weapons are vulnerable in front of the Han army with firearms!
Of course, long-range cold weapons such as bows and crossbows are absolutely forbidden, they are too lethal, and they can also be used to assassinate important officials!
In addition to the army composed of Indians, the most essential part of the Han Empire is the Han Guard, which has been expanded to 3,000 people!
These include 10 6-pounder infantry guns, 2 12-pounder large cannons, and 2 18-pounder unicorn heavy siege cannons!
Except for a 3-pounder infantry cannon in the Han Empire, which was placed in the newly built Imperial Palace in New Luoyang City, all the artillery was allocated to the Han Guards!
Of the 3,000-strong Han Guards, 1,000 were garrisoned in Xinluoyang as a force to protect Zhao Dutian, and the remaining 2,000 were used as a military force for external attacks!
In fact, the positioning of this Han Guards in Zhao Dutian's psychology is mainly to protect artillery and cover artillery bombardment, as for attacking with infantry, that is the job of Indian soldiers!
Unless it is a case that it is not possible, Zhao Dutian really does not intend to let the few Han guards come forward to consume with the enemy!
The Indians have it, and they can recruit as many deaths as they want, but the Han Guards are all smashed out of gold resources, and Zhao Dutian is reluctant to die......
The reason why the Han Empire occupied most of California and only recruited about 10,000 Han field troops was because of insufficient military pay!
Oh, by the way, the California region here does not refer to the California of the United States in the later generations, but the California region in the 18th century included California, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, most of Arizona, Idaho Less, Colorado Small, Wyoming Less, the territory is quite large!
It's almost as big as the French colony of Louisiana!
It can be the size of a quarter of the United States!
This is a Spanish colony in history, of course, this history refers to the history of the world where Zhao Dutian was in his previous life, a parallel world, then it is not necessarily!
