Chapter 31: Arms Build-up
"Qing'er, I plan to plan our army according to the establishment of the Immortal Army!" Of course, the chicken will not follow the Eastern Han Dynasty
"It's good if the husband decides, and the slaves will obey their fate!" Yu Ziqing has become the woman of the lord
"This city cannot be defended without soldiers, and the local area cannot be garrisoned without troops, loyalty to the king and defense of the country is the foundation of the army!"
The mountain here is high and the emperor is far away, even if the Eastern Han Dynasty court knows about it, it is beyond the reach of the whip, not to mention that it is already a suffrage now. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In accordance with the establishment of the modern army, that is, the army, brigade, battalion, company, platoon, and squad, the chickens gradually build their own armed forces.
"Ten people are in a class, and there is a squad leader; Thirty people are in a row, and a platoon is set up; One hundred and twenty people are a company, and there is a company commander...... "Yu Ziqing's commander value has reached 90, and after thinking for a while, he can realize the subtlety: "Husband, this kind of compilation is very exquisite, and it is worthy of the establishment of the immortal army!" ”
"That's right, as long as we can do what we order and prohibit, and we train hard all the time, our army will definitely be able to dominate the world!" Lao Tzu used the training system of later generations to clean up the cattle, and he didn't believe that he couldn't get a mighty army.
Yu Ziqing has a lot of difficulties to solve, in the era of cold weapons, it is not possible to win the battle with a good establishment: "Husband, there is a lack of military salaries in the palace now, and it is still difficult to recruit soldiers, even if you can recruit thousands of soldiers, equip with ordnance, horses, grain and grass, it is not easy!" Although the surrounding tribes are stragglers, they are outnumbered, and they are mainly cavalry and archery, so our army is afraid of falling into the disadvantage! ”
"These husbands have already thought of it, and the money, food, and ordnance will naturally be raised and solved by the husband, so Qing'er doesn't have to worry.
Horses are a problem, but it is not difficult to do, as long as the surrounding tribes are willing to exchange their horses for salt, tea, cooking utensils and other daily necessities in the hands of the widows, our army will not worry about the horses needed by the cavalry!
In the early stage, our army mainly defended the city and would not engage in field battles with the enemy, so the advantage of the enemy's cavalry could not be brought into play.
At present, the advantage of our army lies in the infantry, and I will pass on your immortal infantry mastery, and you will definitely be able to defeat the enemy! ”
The chicken has long been ready, there are horses and horses, and if there are no horses, they will not let the indigenous cavalry be bullied to death!
"Immortal Infantry Peerless ???" Yu Ziqing suddenly didn't know what to do
"However, the name is called the Roman phalanx!!!!!!!!!!!" This thing plays to the strengths of the sword and shield soldiers
A Roman army usually had a squad of 120-160 men, three squads formed a brigade, and ten brigades formed a Roman legion, and weapons included short swords, square shields, and heavy javelins.
Some people will say that the javelin has a long range of bows and arrows???
Nonsense! If Lao Tzu can get so many bows and arrows, why do you need javelins?
The famous phalanx in the West also has the Macedonian phalanx, which is very capable of fighting cavalry, but has poor coordination and flexibility.
The weapon of the Macedonian phalanx against cavalry was a spear six or seven meters long!
So, can you imagine what the phalanx would look like when the local cavalry turned to run in circles......
"Husband, I'm afraid this phalanx is only used for field battles, right?" Yu Ziqing is an expert, how can she not understand.
"That's right, Qing'er is worried that the enemy will shoot from a distance with bows and arrows, right?" Lao Tzu also took this into account
"yes, throwing this weapon called a javelin won't be too far away, right?"
"It's really not far away, for the time being, wait for the husband to get a bow and crossbow from the fairy world, and the situation will change greatly!"
"In order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, our army has avoided going out of the city to meet the enemy for the time being!"
"You and Yuan'er can decide, wait for the Gothic plate armor ordered for the husband to be in place, and see that the widow doesn't kill the natives who put cold arrows!"
“………… Plate armor? ”
"That's right! This is a fairy armor that can withstand 360-degree enemy attacks, even with bows and arrows! ”
The full-body Gothic armor also weighs only 25 kilograms, and modern plate armor weighs less.
Inside, chain mail and anti-cut nets are put on to form a three-layer protective net.
Even if an arrow pierces through the outer plate at close range, it will not pierce three layers in a row.
At best, it is a soft tissue injury, which cannot damage the internal organs of soldiers.
In addition to crossbow arrows, even the English longbow, which is famous for its lethality, can only cry out in vain in the face of such good protection.
Of course, Gothic armor is not invincible in the world, and its natural enemy nemesis is a sledgehammer!
In Western film and television dramas, you can see soldiers and generals with sledgehammers, because this weapon is an expert in breaking plate armor.
However, during the Three Kingdoms period, I didn't hear of any famous generals who were famous for using hammers, and in a short period of time, the plate armor army was still invincible in the world.
On the Internet, Gothic armor and its modified Milanese style retail for around 40,000-60,000 sets.
To equip a brigade of 3,000 troops, it costs at least 120 million people's coins, but it is definitely worth the money!
When I thought of the natives desperately firing arrows, but found that there were all kinds of scenes on the opposite side that were not dressed, the expression was amusing!
When Lao Tzu has two or three Gothic plate armored infantry brigades, he will be able to sweep away the ancestor of kimchi, the Gogoli Empire!
"Is it really that powerful?" Yu Ziqing has never seen armor that can't be pierced by a bow and arrow
"My husband will tailor three sets of plate armor for you, and you'll know when you put them on!" The chicken is full of confidence
A standard brigade-level phalanx has two battalions of sword and shield soldiers, one battalion of archers, one battalion of crossbow archers, one battalion of cavalry, one battalion of baggage soldiers, and one battalion of engineers.
If there is no bow and crossbow in the early stage, it will be replaced by a javelin, which is also long-range firepower anyway, and it is not overwhelmed by many skills.
The discussion was almost over, and the chicken, accompanied by the second wife, took the guards composed of a group of giant ball girls to go out to inspect Minqing.
Halfway through, I suddenly remembered something, why not build a country?
What are the surrounding Buyeo countries and Gaogoli countries, aren't they all tribes?
Lao Tzu's Hanping is at least much more advanced than your capital, right?
Therefore, in January 180 of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the clan state was officially established~!
Mi Ji became His Majesty the Emperor, accompanied by a queen (Yu Ziyuan) and two concubines (Yu Ziqing and Yu Zixue).
The armed forces of the country are the clan army, and because of the small number of people, in order to strengthen their own courage and enhance their combat effectiveness.
His Majesty the Clan Emperor also formulated a loud slogan for him - the clan army is not more than 10,000, and it is invincible!
At this time, the entrance of the government was already crowded with people, and it was very lively, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.
Because the lord of the city began to recruit soldiers, provide food and shelter, and the animals and women who lacked food and clothing began to sign up enthusiastically.
The method discussed with the three daughters before was to use work for relief, but later felt that it was inappropriate, mainly because it was winter.
The temperature in the northeast is minus 30 degrees, and you can't do anything outdoors except fishing and hunting, let alone building a lot of construction.
So it's still really a matter of recruiting soldiers, anyway, you have to keep these animals and women anyway, why don't you have an army?
In addition to the establishment of large households, small businessmen, hunters, servants, small two...... Everyone else wants to eat at the government office!
"Sister, let's recruit more, look at these people!" Yu Zixue also wanted to intercede for the animals outside the door who were not selected
"Xue'er, it's not that my sister doesn't want to raise more, it's just that the money and food are limited, and if there is too much, I'm afraid it will ............" Yu Ziyuan also knew that the food brought by the chicken this time was not much
This meal was eaten by the animals, so what will everyone eat next???
There are already 5,000 people on the roster, and if there are more, his husband will ......
"It doesn't matter, the widow is the king of a country, so he naturally has to take care of the widow's sons!" The chicken has decided to raise these tens of thousands
Even if 100,000 people are counted, each person consumes 30 catties of grain per month, which is only 3 million catties a month.
It is only 1,500 tons, less than 3 million people's coins, and Lao Tzu can afford it!
Those speculative merchants in the city who are inflating the price of rice, wait and see!
"The King of a Kingdom?" Yu Zixue was very puzzled when she heard this
"Yes, the widow has just decided to officially establish the country, and the country is called the Great Clan, referred to as 'Clan State'!"
"Husband, no, Your Majesty, since Your Majesty is already the king of a country, then the slave family still has to prepare for Your Majesty's enthronement ceremony!" Yu Shion can follow the etiquette
"Enthronement ceremony? Haha, I already boarded it last night! You sisters, you are the inheritance of the widow! ”
“…… The slave family begs Your Majesty not to be ashamed of the slave family! Yu Ziyuan thought of what happened last night, and suddenly felt her cheeks become hot.
"Now that the widow's sons are hungry, how can the widow bear to spend money and food to prepare for the enthronement ceremony?"
"Your Majesty is really kind-hearted, and the slave family thanks Your Majesty for the grace of the emperor for the people in the city~!"
"Okay, okay, there is no need to mention the enthronement ceremony, otherwise the widow will ascend to your throne every night!"
“………… Well, the slave family obeys the order, and it is a natural thing for the slave family to serve His Majesty, and it is the blessing of the Yu family sisters! ”
"In that case, let's continue to recruit soldiers, anyone who signs up can enlist in the army, but they must go through strict training before they can officially become a soldier of the clan army!"
"The slave family obeys His Majesty's will!" Yu Ziyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and now he could finally alleviate the dilemma of hunger in the city.
There is no threshold for recruitment, as long as you are not a person who is a criminal offender, you can sign up.
However, the clan army is divided into three categories, the first class is the elite troops, similar to the tiger and leopard cavalry of Cao Chengxiang in the same period, the flying bear army of Dong Fatzi, and the white horse Yicong of Gongsun Zhan (Zhao Yun was one of them).
The size of the brigade in the early stage will not exceed one brigade (3000 people), they will receive a high salary, as well as the best training and equipment.
The Gothic & Milanese plate armor that has already been ordered by the chicken will be equipped with this unit.
When they have a certain number of horses, they will be upgraded to Iron Float (Heavy Cavalry)!
The second class is the infantry unit, whose main task is to defend the city and be responsible for the security of the surrounding area, and assist the elite troops in field battles.
The plan is to recruit four brigades (12,000 men), who are the main attrition arm and belong to full-time units.
The third class is a reserve force, which trains three to six months a year in peacetime, and spends the rest of the time in the fields as semi-professional soldiers.
The largest scale is about eight to ten brigades (24,000-30,000 people), which are soldiers in wartime and Min in peacetime.
A total of 45,000-50,000 people will be recruited, and the remaining several thousand people will be incorporated into the Air Force, Navy, intelligence departments, logistics units, and arsenals.
