Chapter 290: Complete Establishment
The second in line is the White Horse Righteous Servant, and the uncollected amount of the White Horse Righteous from behind is nine thousand. In other words, the overall establishment of the White Horse Yicong is only 10,000 people! This amount is much less than Huo Gang imagined.
But think about it, the number of Baima Yicong led by Gongsun Chan in history does not seem to be very large, and 10,000 people seems reasonable, mainly because ...... Gongsun Chan is an obsessive-compulsive disorder, just kidding, a white horse with no miscellaneous hair that can act as a war horse, even among the Turkic people who specialize in raising horses, one out of a hundred is this ratio.
Even if there are white horses that are specially raised, this proportion will be doubled at most, which means that at least 500,000 war horses can make up 10,000 white horses without miscellaneous hair, not to mention that some of these white horses are inherently unsuitable for war horses.
War horses are not just pulled out of a horse can be been, whether it is physical fitness, physique, etc., it is necessary to train horses carefully selected, pack horses and war horses are horses, but the gap between the two is too big, not to mention anything else, just on the battlefield, will not be easily frightened by this, many horses are not suitable for war horses.
Horses also have personalities, just like people.
And below the white horse is the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry can be said to be a sturdy heavy cavalry, such a heavy cavalry Huo Gang originally thought that the number was the least, but in fact, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry Huo Gang could actually receive 19,000 horses.
That is, a full 20,000 heavy cavalry! What is this concept? In this era, Huo Gang can not exaggerate to say that he can't come up with so many heavy cavalry from any country in the world.
Of course, Huo Gang can make it up, because the most important thing for heavy cavalry is the stainless steel armor, and Huo Gang's current speed of suppressing the armor is too fast, it is not an exaggeration to say that Huo Gang can suppress hundreds of sets of armor needed by the cavalry in one day.
All that remains is to sew these pieces of nails out of cowhide, and the job is very simple.
And the largest number is the last Tiger Army, and Huo Gang of the Tiger Army can also receive 27,000 people, which means that the Tiger Army has 30,000 people!
This means that if Huo Gang summons all the soldiers, the number of regular troops under his command will reach 63,000! And all of them are elite troops!
To be honest, I can't pull out so many elite troops from the entire Tang Dynasty.
However, I have to say that although there will be no more troop rewards in the future, for the current big man, so many elite troops are enough. And Huo Gang can also develop the economy of Dahan with peace of mind.
These troops Huo Gang naturally will not take them out directly, and if they receive them, they need to be fed, manpower, and horses are not an ordinary number, and Huo Gang has to consider giving them wives.
You can't let these be singles for a lifetime.
However, the troops cannot be replenished in the future, and Huo Gang has to consider supplementing the reserve forces, at least the training structure of these troops will start to prepare, because the training of ancient armies is not as convenient as modern ones, especially equestrian, battle formations, sword skills, etc., which require long training.
Moreover, the army in the era of cold weapons pays more attention to the cooperation between comrades-in-arms, so the training of an army cannot be completed in a short time.
Of course, if you don't have a choice, you can become a soldier with a horse and a knife, the problem is that unless such a soldier can be lucky enough to survive a few wars after going to the battlefield, otherwise, he will never become a veteran.
Strict training is useful in any era, because after they have undergone rigorous training, they will naturally have a much greater chance of surviving on the battlefield, and after experiencing one or two wars, they can quickly and thoroughly integrate what they have learned in ordinary training and grow into a qualified veteran.
Aside from the army's rewards, the remaining quota of one spiritual spring water covering the river Huo Gang has not been used for the time being, and now there are several rivers in the vicinity of Yiwu City within Huo Gang's territory, but the basin area of these rivers is not large, and the arable land that can affect is too small.
If he could, Huo Gang wanted to give this quota to the Tarim River, which was the largest inland river in southern Xinjiang in later generations, with a total length of about 2,000 kilometers and an area of more than 1.2 million square kilometers.
But if all of them take effect, wouldn't it be a big deal?
Although the main river of the Tarim River is along the northern section of the Taklamakan Desert, and there is a section of river in the middle that even crosses directly from the middle of the Taklamakan Desert to the Kunlun Mountains on the south side, it is estimated that this river will definitely be wasted by then.
No matter how metamorphosed the spiritual spring water is, it will be difficult for plants to grow because of the ultra-high evaporation in the desert area, of course, it is not absolutely impossible, at least there must be plants on both sides of the river to grow, but it is difficult for these plants to expand the area in the desert.
However, even so, the basin through which the Tarim River flows is too large, and the area of cultivated land that can be affected at that time can be said to be enough for the future development of the entire Han Dynasty.
But there is a problem with the Tarim River, which is now only a small section, and it is still a dry river, because the river channel at the end of the Tarim River used to flow into the Peacock Sea, which is now the Huo Ci Sea.
Now the channel at the end of the Tarim River has dried up, which is why the area of the Peacock Sea is gradually decreasing.
To the west of Loulan is another country that prospered because of the Tarim River, Yanqi.
If you want to give the Tarim River spiritual spring water, then you must at least take the Yanqi Kingdom, including Gaochang. I just don't know if there is no replenishment of troops, if we take Gaochang and Yanqi, will there be a quota of rivers that increase the efficacy of spiritual spring water.
If anything, it's much simpler.
……
When Huo Gang was thinking about these questions, he was in the negotiation room in Dunhuang County at this moment, and the negotiations between the two sides were also coming to an end, "Mr. Wu, Mr. An, Mr. Mingyue, let's talk about the last thing today. Du Ruhui said with a smile.
"That's the case, you see that we have negotiated a lot of agreements between Datang and Dahan now, which means that we will be the countries of the Brotherly Alliance in the future, am I wrong?" Du Ruhui asked with a smile.
"What Mr. Du said is very true, and we naturally have no objection to this." Wu Ping immediately nodded and said with a smile.
"Then Mr. Wu, forgive me for daring to ask, your leader Huo shouldn't have married a wife yet, right?" Du Ruhui asked with a smile.
Wu Ping and the three of them were stunned for a moment, but Wu Ping quickly nodded: "Although our Huo leader is over seventeen years old, he has worked hard to govern the country, and he is dedicated to governing the people. ”
In this era, the status of the wife is very high, and the maids and concubines are not formal women at all, and they have almost no status, and the concubines have a little status, and the maids are almost no different from the girls in the room.
"In this case, in order to bring the relationship between the two of us closer, our Majesty intends to marry with Leader Huo, and the eldest princess of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty and Empress Changsun, who is seven years old this year, should be a match made in heaven with Leader Huo, so that the covenant between us will be even closer."
"If you have no opinion, we can make a covenant first, and when the eldest princess reaches the age of thirteen, she can marry the big man, I don't know what the three of them think." Du Ruhui smiled and said.
Wu Ping and the three of them couldn't help but glance at each other, Wu Ping and they thought about such a thing as marriage, but what they never expected was that Li Shimin was actually willing to marry his eldest princess, and the eldest princess born to Empress Changsun, to Huo Gang.
That's quite sincere! You must know that the relationship between Li Shimin and Empress Changsun can be said to be known to the whole world. And the status of the prince and the princess, if the emperor and the queen have a good relationship, then the children born to the emperor and the queen are undoubtedly the highest status.
And a princess like Heqin, a little bit or something, just find a palace maid to marry as a princess, and if you pay more attention, you may find a woman from the clan to marry directly as a princess, which is already very important.
Throughout history, the real royal princesses have been married...... No! Among them, the most relatives are naturally the Han Dynasty, and the princesses who marry the most in the Han Dynasty are clan daughters and palace maids.
Just like the famous Zhaojun of the Han Dynasty, Wang Zhaojun is a palace maid.
And Li Shimin is willing to marry his own daughter, who is also the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, to Huo Gang, this sincerity is beyond doubt. The most important thing is that those who can marry the emperor are all women with very high status, such as those who can marry Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, either they are all women of some excellent ministers, or women with five surnames and seven wangs have this qualification.
This is not only Wu Ping knows, Anno and Mingyue are very clear, so after the three of them glanced at each other, they all saw the excitement in each other's eyes, because in their opinion, the one who can be qualified to price Huo Gang in this world is Li Shimin's daughter.
Not to mention that there are still such important allies between the two sides now, especially since they also know very well that Huo Gang has a deeper meaning behind him, since this is the case, then it is naturally a better choice to have a relationship with Datang.
At that moment, Wu Ping said directly: "Thank you Your Majesty for your trust, we naturally have no opinions." ”
Anno and Mingyue naturally don't have any opinions.
"In that case, then we have decided this matter." Du Ruhui smiled and said.
"This matter should be decided after our leader has been revealed." Anno thought for a moment and spoke.
"Mr. Wu, Mr. An, Mr. Mingyue, with all due respect, all other decisions can be handed over to Chief Huo, but this matter should be entrusted to us, the ministers who share the worries of the Lord." Du Ruhui smiled and said.
