Chapter 192: A New Fleet
Grandmaster Junting!
Chu Ren smiled and glanced at Yang Feng, this is definitely Zhu Chongba's idea, to become a general, not only must his own strength be enough, but also have enough political vision.
Jun Ting is a royal worshipper and the wife of the earth immortal, and does not belong to any faction.
Five thousand people, even if Jun Ting doesn't understand military affairs at all, it doesn't matter, after all, there are not many people, and being a grandmaster is enough. No matter how rebellious the generals in the army are, in front of the grandmaster, they can only bow their heads and obey orders.
Jun Ting can easily suppress this Dingxi army, and more importantly, this represents Chu Ren's attitude, and it will also become the link between Emperor Chu and Di Immortal.
To be able to come up with this idea, Zhu Chongba is amazing, no wonder he can hold the southwest for decades, and he can become a southwest barrier without spending money and food on the court.
Under the fame, there is no vanity. No great general can be taken lightly.
"Nice idea, you can try it. Chu Ren nodded and said.
Yang Feng was overjoyed, lowered his head and said: "The minister and Master Lei have had a relationship, and I heard that Master Lei and Grandmaster Junting have a good relationship. The minister is willing to take a trip to the Shengong Hall and ask Master Lei to come forward. ”
Chu Ren didn't agree: "It's not proper, General Yang is afraid that he doesn't know, Lei Shi has been in Los Angeles for half a year, it can be said that he is in the limelight, on the surface it looks calm, but in fact, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the Shengong Palace, General Yang is secretly entering Beijing this time, and it is inconvenient for him to come out for the time being." ”
"Then ......" Yang Feng hesitated, the general said that His Majesty was isolated at this time, and even General Wei was not too supportive, I am afraid that he would not even have a usable manpower in his hands, otherwise he would not have adjusted the Western Army to enter Beijing.
"It's okay, this matter is not difficult, General Yang should leave Shangjing as soon as possible. Chu Ren said.
"Yes, the minister will retire and immediately take people back to Dingjun City. Yang Feng didn't say anything more, withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Pavilion, walked to the door, and heard Chu Ren say softly: "Take the secret decree and tell General Zhu to expand the army as soon as possible." ”
"Yes. Yang Feng's body trembled slightly, this was the content that directly told him the secret purpose, and this content was too surprising.
You must know that among the eight major army corps, except for the Yulin Army in Los Angeles, the military port of the two naval armies is on the coast, and the other five army corps are all in the border city, far away from Dachu.
No matter who is the emperor of Chu, he must use the Jiangmen, and at the same time, he must also guard against the Jiangmen. The number of troops in his hands is too large and the military resources are too abundant, which is definitely not a good thing, and it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the Chu Emperor.
The Desert Legion, with 150,000 armor, is on par with the Xiangshui and Northland Legions, only weaker than the Yulin Legion, and its strength is strong enough. Last year's great victory, the forty-eight countries were unable to crusade eastward, and if they did not reduce their military strength, it was a good thing, but they still had to expand their troops?
Yang Feng was promoted to General Zuo, but his rank was still not enough, and he was not qualified to know about the occult things. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew about this matter, and there were no more than 20 people.
Waiting for Yang Feng to leave, Chu Ren rested for a moment and said, "Pass." ”
After a while, the chamberlain brought in another general and bowed to the ground: "Sun Bing, the general of the Sprinkled Spring Army, was ordered by the general to lead 5,000 military horses into Beijing, and the military horses have been arranged in the north of Los Angeles, in the Qingfeng Mountain. ”
"General Sun, please get up. "Stretch out your hand to help, a Zhonglang general, naturally not worthy of the Chu Emperor to meet in person, he doesn't even have the authority to bring 5,000 men and horses, at least General Hu Ben, he has the right to command.
But this Zhonglang general is different, Sun Bing is the general of Zhenxi of the Jiuquan Army and the son of Sun Xi, the prince of the country.
Sun Bing stood up and peeked curiously, he was in his early thirties, he had been fighting outside the Saiwai all the year round, and his body was extremely vigorous. Originally, I thought that the emperor's body and bones should be relatively weak, even if he used resources to pile up to the peak of the nine grades, he could not compare with the soldiers in the army, but it turned out that he guessed wrong, and Emperor Chu actually gave him an unfathomable feeling.
Grandmaster, Emperor Chu is actually a grandmaster?
"General Sun, are you sufficient?" asked Chu Ren.
"The surplus of food for a month. ”
Chu Ren nodded, took a pair of cards from the bookcase, and the waiter stepped forward to receive it, and turned around to hand it to Sun Bing.
"With the right cards, you can go to the nearest state capital, receive half a year's grain and grass, now Dachu is difficult, only a thousand sheep, a hundred cattle, so that the soldiers are wronged. Chu Ren said.
"Not aggrieved. Sun Bing was surprised to take the pair of cards, with his understanding of the new emperor, he was able to come up with so much military funds, which really surprised him. According to his father, doesn't this Chu Emperor even have to listen to other people's arrangements for what he eats next?
It was another sleepless night, when Renault thought he was working hard, but he didn't know that Chu Ren was working harder than him, for several days in a row, sleepless sleep had long become the norm, that is, the grandmaster could hold on, and if he was replaced by Renault, a pseudo-nine pin, he would have been tired and lying down.
There are many arrangements, I can't see anything at the moment, and maybe I won't need it in the future, but I can prepare more, it's always good, just like Renault is preparing for a trip, and Chu Ren is also preparing to take over the real power of Da Chu, and the preparation is far more adequate than Renault.
In Chu Ren's opinion, he was an outsider with no foundation, and if he wanted to take control of power in three years, no matter how much preparation he made, it was not enough.
At dawn, Renault rode on the Purple Shadow and went to the workshop outside the city, where he was working hard to build a new type of wheeled car, double pack, four packs, and even eight packs.
Under the condition that the wheel base remains the same, the cabin is lengthened and enlarged, the axle is modified, and the bearings, shock absorbing springs, chassis, steering, and wheel brakes are added......
Under the guidance of Renault, Zhang Tan led a group of apprentices and grandchildren, plus craftsmen in the Yan Mansion, to strive to turn Renault's ideas into reality.
In front of him was the largest eight-pack car, this is the name Renault took, at first, no one knew what he wanted to do, until the carriage was erected on the chassis, the craftsmen were dumbfounded, is this still a car? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a moving palace.
The carriage is 12 meters long, 3 meters high and 3 and a half meters wide, and the interior space is extremely spacious and has been finely decorated. The walls around the compartment are made of double-layer thin wooden boards, with a layer of fine iron plates sandwiched in the middle, and thirty meters away, even the bed crossbow cannot shoot through.
At the foot are plush carpets from Mir, and all kinds of foldable boxes, chairs, tables, cabinets. A 1,000-litre water tank, an internal drain line, a movable wood stove, a small kitchen cabinet and even a wine cooler.
Not to mention the toilet that comes with it, it can also shower, not to mention the comfortable big bed.
Renault has taken the concept of RV to the extreme, if it weren't for Da Chu's process materials, he could have made this RV better.
After all, on Earth, space is limited, and the size of the vehicle is limited, so it is impossible to do it this large.
Under the RV, there is a special transport vehicle, a six-pack carriage, the frame is no smaller than the RV, and it is equipped with three detachable foot planes.
In fact, Renault originally didn't want to bring this thing, it took up too much space, but considering the actual situation in the south, if you want to build an airplane there, I'm afraid it will take a long time. So it was decided to travel with thirty planes, these things, Renault didn't expect them to have much practical value, they were just used to bluff people.
In the world of Da Chu, when you see something flying, the first thing that comes to mind is a bird, and the second thing that comes to mind is an earth immortal, if it weren't for these two, guess what, how would the person who saw it react?
In addition to bluffing, Renault is also preparing to train a large number of aircraft pilots, take precautions, even if in a short time, the Austrians will not land, Renault also needs to prepare early, it is not possible to completely count on Chu Ren, since he is preparing to open a military school, Renault is full of enthusiasm and has a lot of ideas.
After ten special transports, there were fifty double-pack fast armored ballista vehicles, which were pure combat vehicles, using thin iron plates, with multiple firing ports on the sides, tail, and upper parts, which could hold six soldiers, four hand-cranked crossbows, as well as bows, spears, knives, and a large number of crossbow arrows.
When needed, it can be used to charge into battle, as long as the horse is armored, the armored ballista cart becomes a war monster.
As soon as this thing was assembled, it was snatched away by General Wei Wen, no matter how Renault explained, he wanted to take it back to study and study, can this thing come up with a new tactic.
This makes Renault very helpless, history has proved that this level of combat vehicles is not suitable for large-scale group operations, if you can really get a tank, it is naturally invincible in land warfare, no matter how the carriage is transformed, it is still a carriage, and it cannot change the problem of insufficient power output and insufficient protection.
Don't look at horses, they can also wear armor, and they can block hanging bows and arrows, and powerful crossbow arrows, horse armor can't stop them, unless they are dressed in a steel plate.
That's naturally impossible, if you really do that, the war horse won't move, what battlefield will you go to?
The weight of the carriage alone has already made the horses very difficult, after all, it is not an RV, considering the problem of mobility, there are more horses, coordination and flexibility will be worse.
Next is the transport vehicle, the carriage of the transport vehicle, basically do not need to change, the pack car has gone through hundreds of years, has already had a set of its own transportation methods, in Renault's view, it is already very good, a bit similar to the container box.
The modified part, mainly the chassis, including wheels and bearings, can save the carriage more and reduce vibration.
Finally, there are medical cars and dining cars, and when you are away from home, it is inevitable to get sick and injured, and eating is also a big problem.
Renault expects the team to be less than 1,000 people, and the number of vehicles alone is more than 500, and on average, there are less than two people in a car.
When they left Los Angeles, most of the transport trucks were empty, only half of them were carrying the military rations that Renault had studied, and the rest were preparing to go to the southwest and scrape a layer of ground.
In his plan, in addition to training a large number of low-level officers, the military academy should also open a special class for martial artists to train a group of trustworthy high-level martial artists.
It's not clear what to say about now, it depends on the situation, if the S energy can keep up, the graduation of the peak of the nine grades is the minimum standard, and if you can get a grandmaster graduation class, it will be even more awesome.
Of course, this is not very likely, people must have ideals, and they don't even dare to think about it, what is the difference between that and salted fish.
When the enthusiasm came up, Renault thought long-term, and the military academy not only had training for all branches of the army, but also prepared for the air force, navy, and martial arts classes.
