Chapter 784: Plan Ahead

Talking all night, before you know it, it's dawn.

But Liu Hongji was still unsatisfied, pestering Qin Huaidao and asking a lot of questions, as for the military aspect, Liu Hongji saw that Qin Huaidao did not mention it, and he was smart not to mention it.

The separation of the military and the people, the local and military two-line governance was determined by Qin Huaidao in Hanzhou, Tuyuhun left Xu Shiji to lead, and Tubo was of course no exception, but it was difficult to decide the candidate Qin Huaidao for a while.

Until noon, the generals of all armies rushed to ask for instructions, the surrendered army had been pacified, and Qin Huaidao needed to make a decision on how to settle it next.

Qin Huaidao cheered up and listened carefully to everyone's reports, and learned that only half of the 300,000 garrison troops could really fight, and the rest were either injured, old and weak, or recruits.

The injured, the old and weak must be eliminated, keeping them will only affect the combat effectiveness, many of the recruits are slaves, forced, forcibly conscripted, and it takes half a year to train into a soldier, Qin Huaidao didn't have time to wait so long, all of them were laid off as people, and it just so happened that local development needed manpower, and it was handed over to Liu Hongji to deal with.

150,000 people who can fight also need to be selected, too many can't afford to raise, some are cut and reorganized into government servants, arrest quickly, etc., to maintain law and order, Liu Hongji has no one in his hands, and it is not easy to govern the place.

As for how much to be abolished, depending on the situation, at least 100,000 will be retained, and 25 divisions can be formed, including Luo Tong, Cheng Chumo, Fang Yiai, Xue Wanche, and Luo Zhang, each of whom will be divided into five divisions, which will be reorganized into an army, but the officers must be Tang, which means that each person has two armies in his hands.

Killing so many people in the Tang Dynasty should be punished for the first evil, but others also have to atone for their sins!

If it weren't for the old and weak, the disabled and the recruits, who would only drag down the combat effectiveness and waste food, Qin Huaidao would absolutely pull all the Turks to serve as cannon fodder to atone for their crimes, and the people of the Tang Dynasty would not be humiliated.

As for the captives who were captured by the Tibetans, most of them were willing to join the army, and Liu Hongji was training them as soon as possible, and once they became an army, they would be directly incorporated into the armies, just to make up for the recent battle losses of the various armies.

Qin Huaidao explained the reorganization concept in detail, and when everyone heard the great joy, they all agreed, praised it, talked about some other things, and happily selected the soldiers.

Only Luo Ying looked depressed and didn't get anyone, but she didn't say anything.

Qin Huaidao saw that Luo Ying was silent with a tense face, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, "What's the matter, blame me for not allocating some troops to you?" ”

"No, no, how can ordinary people enter the special operations army, they must be from my Tang Dynasty and well-trained." Luo Ying still knew the importance of the special operations army, and hurriedly said.

Qin Huaidao thought about it carefully and said: "Among the Tang people who were captured by Tubo, there are many teenagers, select some, voluntarily, and reorganize into an army, the special combat army is only 20,000, and this time it is just full of personnel. ”

"Really?" Luo Ying is overjoyed, who doesn't want to have more people on their hands?

"Don't be happy too early, seize the time to train, and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, also, the cavalry of the Hanzhou Army has a certain advantage over the cavalry, but it is not obvious, the infantry against the cavalry is still defeated without grenades, explosives and the like, not to mention that grenades and explosives packages are not easy to make, and they need to be improved." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

Luo Ying's eyes lit up, and she asked, "What does Uncle mean?" ”

"I'm going to prepare one or two weapons for the special operations army and the guard regiment, you can easily kill and kill the cavalry, and when the time comes, whether you are riding or fighting, you will be invincible in the world, with grenades and explosives packs, you can fight in the face of 100,000, and the chances of winning are very great." Qin Huaidao said confidently, his eyes shining.

"What weapon is so terrifying?" Luo Ying was immediately overjoyed.

Even Luo Wu looked at it excitedly, his eyes burning.

Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "The special combat army has a Mo knife, but the Mo knife is too cumbersome, suitable for defense, especially in a narrow section, as long as it is blocked, everyone is broken, no one can stop it, but the Mo knife is difficult to practice, and it is also difficult to find, which is not conducive to large-scale equipment, and moreover, the Mo knife is not suitable for rapid attack, flexible combat, I am ready to create a weapon that is no less powerful than the Mo knife, but suitable for attack, and flexible killing." ”

"What, and these weapons, what do they look like?" Luo Ying was excited.

Luo Wu also looked at Qin Huaidao eagerly and pricked up his ears.

Qin Huaidao smiled, the weapons in the world were born because of war, and they were also improved because of war.

The next western expedition to the Turks, the Turks are good at cavalry, almost all cavalry, compared with the Turks who grew up on horseback, the Hanzhou army is still inferior to the cavalry, the last Hanzhou battle relied on explosives bags, grenades and grenadiers, if you really ride against ride, the number of five or five, the win is also a miserable victory.

Winning the greatest victory at the minimum cost has always been Qin Huaidao's pursuit.

The best weapon for foot combat is the Japanese sword, and although the Japanese are not a thing, the Japanese sword is still good.

The knife is improved on the basis of the Tang knife, the blade is about one meter five long, the blade is single-sided, the knife is held in both hands, it can jump and slash, a knife goes down, it can cut people into two sections, its sharpness and power can be seen.

The long blade often represents that it is easy to break, but the knife is made of steel, similar to dumplings, the outside is hard steel, and the inside is wrought iron, wrought iron is soft, and the ductility is good, which can ensure that the long knife does not break when it is slashed, and the steel outside can ensure the sharpness.

During the Ming Dynasty, dozens of ronins were able to chase hundreds of regular elite soldiers and run away, and they did not kill their opponents at all.

Qi Jiguang invented the Mandarin Duck Array against the Japanese Invaders, and there was also a Qi family knife.

Qijia knife is improved on the basis of the sword, the style is equivalent, but thicker, the power of cracking down is greater, more slugging, the knife made by the Japanese knife with the steel-clad method is good, but the process is complex, the yield is very low, it is not easy to manufacture, it is not conducive to large-scale manufacturing and equipment in a short period of time, so the Qijia knife adopts the steel embedding method.

The steel embedding method is to embed steel on wrought iron, and then make a whole, the back of the Qijia knife is made of wrought iron, the blade is embedded in steel, the softness and ductility of wrought iron can ensure that the blade is continuous, and the hard steel can ensure the sharpness of the knife edge, the key is that the production process is simple and can be mass-produced in a short time.

Of course, the Qi family's knife can't stop the war horse from colliding, and it also needs a weapon, that is, Ge.

The iron spear is forked out of the horizontal blade, which can be dug, pushed, shoveled, stabbed, wiped, and hooked the horse's legs.

As long as the handle is strong enough, tough enough, and the horse can't bear it at all, the people on horseback will inevitably fly out, and then the Qi family knife will be equipped with archers or crossbowmen in the back, and in a group of three, coordinate the battle, and ask who can stop it?

Qin Huaidao drew the pattern and said the idea, Luo Ying's breathing suddenly became short, his eyes lit up, and he saw countless cavalry roaring over, but they fell down one after another, and the scene of people turning over on their backs stared at the drawings and said, "Uncle, when will you build such weapons?" ”

"This kind of sharp weapon is not trivial, the technology cannot be passed on, I personally command the people of your special operations army to build, and strive to leave the special operations army before equipping two divisions, and the guard regiment is all equipped, you go to collect waste weapons, and then recruit blacksmiths to come over to build furnaces, smelt them into iron ingots, collect charcoal and other things, and they are not needed to build."

"Understood, and I'll do it." Luo Ying went excitedly.

"Uncle, can you really kill cavalry?" Luo Wu excitedly asked.

"Don't talk nonsense, when the time comes, you will know, send someone to collect charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur, and try to make more explosives bags to bring with you before you go." Qin Huaidao admonished.

"Obey!" Luo Wu clenched his fists and went excitedly.
