Chapter 58: Merging the Army
Ying Zihan wanted to sort out the mess quickly, and quickly summoned Bai Ling, Yang Jian, Yang Yuanheng and others to discuss this matter.
Everyone knew that it should be about the new army, but they didn't know what Ying Zihan thought. Because the army they are leading now is indispensable, so they estimate that it is likely that Wang Jian is in command of this army, although Ying Zihan did not transfer Wang Jian from Chaoge, that is because Chaoge must have a general to guard it.
However, what Bai Ling and the others didn't expect was that the first sentence that Ying Zihan said was: "I am ready to abolish the establishment of the Violet Cavalry Battalion." ”
Hunter was anxious instantly, from Ying Zihan's henchmen at the beginning to now, Hunter's power is not as good as Bai Ling's rising stars. It's just that Hunter is also a satisfied person, he didn't complain about anyone, and Bai Ling's ability is obvious to all. It's just that now the expanded violet cavalry has spent too much effort on him, and he was revoked by Ying Zihan in a word, of course it is impossible for him to stay calm.
"Your Highness, why is that?" asked Hunter excitedly, wanting to know why.
Everyone was silent, not knowing what they were thinking. Ying Zihan said: "You calm down first and listen to me before speaking." ”
Ying Zihan continued: "In this operation, I found a problem with the violet cavalry. ”
"What's the problem," Hunter said subconsciously
Ying Zihan frowned, raised his hand to interrupt him, and said: "The heavy cavalry does not have the ability to run long distances, not only is it difficult to train, but also the cost is very huge. It's almost a burden for us now, so I have this plan. ”
Hunter retorted, "But the heavy cavalry is very powerful, especially since our violet cavalry can sweep almost any enemy. Just like the major before, if there is a war, my five hundred violet cavalry can easily defeat the opponent with a thousand men. "Speaking of his troops, Hunter is still very proud.
Ying Zihan didn't bother to explain to him, and his eyes motioned for Yang Xixi to say.
Yang Xixi said to Hunter: "General Hunt is right, but we have to consider our actual situation. After a pause, Yang Xixi pointed to the map and said to everyone: "Look at the current distribution of our strength, if the Violet cavalry continues to be stationed in Chaoge, then when the war happens, he will not be able to support Thorn Ridge in time." ”
Everyone nodded, and that was indeed the case. Only Shen Zhen this guy stupidly said, "Then you can be stationed here." ”
Everyone laughed and said nothing, so if something happened to Chaoge, the violet cavalry still couldn't rush back quickly. Only this tenacious guy would think so simple.
Yang Xixi continued to explain: "The heavy cavalry is not irreplaceable with us, and our armament is more than a little stronger than other forces. For example, if our cavalry and heavy cavalry go to war, our light cavalry can completely use kite flying tactics to kill and wound the enemy's heavy cavalry with heavy crossbows from a distance, and the opponent will not be able to catch up with us at all. If the enemy wants to escape, we can also hang them from a distance, keep harassing them, and wait until they are exhausted before launching a surprise attack. "In the case that heavy crossbows are not popular in the West, Ying Zihan has a big advantage.
Hunter doesn't know what to say anymore, because looking at this look, Ying Zihan has already made up his mind, and after following Ying Zihan for so long, Hunter of course knows Ying Zihan's character, and it is difficult to change what he decides.
So Hunter could only accept his fate, and did not speak in his position. Ying Zihan glanced at him and continued: "But because the training of the Violet Cavalry Battalion is quite expensive, it is a pity to cancel it. Previously, the Macedonian phalanx was not equipped with cavalry due to the lack of cavalry, and now the violet cavalry battalion is added to the Macedonian phalanx. ”
Hunter was happy and then annoyed, and his feelings said that this half day was the main thing.
Ying Zihan continued: "Because, Bill and Verus have achieved good results in this battle, they have been promoted to the rank of five hundred people and lead the Violet Cavalry Battalion to join the Macedonian phalanx under Yang Yuan. ”
At the same time, Yang Yuan, a feudal military captain, commanded the headquarters to garrison Thorn Ridge, and the military and government were integrated...... Everything is done cheaply.
Hunter was promoted to Captain Valiant and prepared to retrain the 3,000 newly recruited men into a cloth team. I am going back to Chaoge in the next few days, Bai Ling led the Yulin army to stay behind to help Yang Yuan stabilize the form and defend against foreign enemies, and then come back when the situation is stable. Everyone else is going back to Chaoge with me, and there is a secret letter to report, and I still have important things to deal with in Chaoge. ”
Yang Jian actually wanted to stay and help his father, not that Ying Zihan was afraid that their father and son would grow up outside, but that his ability was not as good as Bai Ling, so Ying Zihan brought him back.
Yang Yuan asked: "There are too many things here now, I'm afraid I can't handle it alone, and it won't be good if I delay the big thing." "Yang Yuan really felt that he had more than enough strength to do so, and now he handed over the Violet Cavalry to him.
Ying Zihan thought for a while and said, "Anyway, now that we are blocked, there is almost no activity in the caravan, so I will send Ino to help you for a while." It's just that after this period of time, I'm going to have to transfer people back. Also, you people should also try to dig up talents, otherwise you will be exhausted. Smart people have to be like me, find all kinds of talents, and then just use their mouths. The more Ying Zihan said, the more off-topic, although everyone thought it was funny, but it made sense when they thought about it.
Yang Yuan also put his mind at ease, in fact, he still had a thought, if it was just him, he was still worried that Ying Zihan might suspect him of ambition, but after Ying Zihan sent someone over, he was relieved. This is not groundless, if the courtiers do not do this, they will definitely be feared by those in power.
Before leaving, Ying Zihan took the wealth left by the church and the wealth accumulated by Viscount Hall for several generations, and brought some antiques and the like, and gave Yang Yuan all the money that could be spent directly such as gold and silver coins to Yang Yuan for development. If you want Ying Zihan to move all of these away, leaving an empty shell and nothing left, even Ying Zihan will blush if she is so thick-skinned.
On the way, Yang Xixi mentioned one thing, Ying Zihan still attaches great importance to it, Yang Xixi said: "The constitution of the Dawn Empire clearly stipulates that the army under any lord cannot exceed 10,000, and the cavalry among them cannot exceed 3,000, if anyone finds out the size of your army now, it may be troublesome." ”
Ying Zihan nodded and fell into deep thought, his current army is really more than 10,000.
One:
Feather Forest Army
Tiance battalion Bai Ling 3,000 infantry
Xuan Ce battalion Yang Jian 1,000 cavalry
Feng Mo of the Shenji Battalion has five hundred archers
Two:
Macedonian phalanx Yang Yuan a thousand Western infantry
Bill, Verus five hundred heavy cavalry
Three:
Yang Xixi, the Tiger Army, declared 500 infantry
Four:
Wang Jian Chaoge garrisoned 800 troops, 500 garrisons in villages and towns, and 300 garrisons in passes
Six:
Hunter built a new army of 3,000
Now Ying Zihan feels that he should worry about food again, and he has to support so many people after his tax cut.
(Sleep, no)
