Chapter 11 The Envisaged Guards Battalion

After the meal, Gao Zhong sent Dazhu and Sigui to fill in the cave with a few of the original guards, and returned to the room to consider the establishment of the army. I want to help Yue Fei single-handedly in "Saying Yue", I want to make a meritorious career and kill the golden dog to avenge my father, but I died because of the exhaustion of the gun and the iron pulley before I could do anything, I don't know if it's true, of course, Gao Zhong won't be so stupid to run over alone.

Now is a troubled time, the control of the official family is not too serious, and the big families are raising private soldiers. Although the Yang Jiajun, the Hujia Army, and the current Yue Jiajun have been given numbers by the official family, they are actually also private troops. Therefore, in history, after Bing Fei was arrested, the official family had to go to Lin'an to deceive Yue Yun and Zhang Xian into using a forged letter from Yue Fei's family to Lin'an and kill them, for fear that they would rebel. Therefore, in chaos, you must have your own strength to have a sense of security. Although his own strength is good, there are only many enemies of heroes, and his own self-defense weapons must also be equipped.

If you want to raise soldiers, you need money, and you need a lot of money to raise elite soldiers. The Gao family's business has just begun to expand, and they have to use money everywhere, and they have not sold a few things. We also have to speed up the process. Now the Southern Song Dynasty is the copper standard, and copper smelting can also make money, but after all, it is illegal, and gold mines can be opened, but it also takes time. There are also food, weapons, and training of soldiers, and there are many clues. Gao Zhong has never been a soldier in modern times, and he has been a military fan on the Internet for a period of time, and he has also carefully studied dozens of war examples of a certain general and marshal, and people also suggested publishing a book in the post bar. But there is no experience at all in how to lead soldiers.

When I came to this Song Dynasty, the world was sure because of its own changes, firearms have appeared, and their own Thunderbolt cannons, Thunderbolt rocket artillery (extended-range shells of divine thunder bombs, use inertial firing fuses to ignite rocket powder packets to achieve extended range. There are also breech guns, grenades, melee guns, etc., to be developed in the future. So this force should have the characteristics of a modern army. However, due to the time required for the development and equipment of weapons, the initial stage could only be a mixture of ancient and modern troops. It is necessary to build the contingent into a seed that will prepare for future development, cultural education and the building of military concepts should become a major feature that distinguishes it from the current military structure, and it is necessary to build a loyal, disciplined, and educated army with high military qualities. At the same time, it is necessary to apply the PLA's set of construction methods of instructors and political commissars.

Gao Pet thought a lot, and after basically sorting out his thoughts, he wrote a set of army building plans and training outlines. It was initially decided to recruit 500 people to form a personal guard battalion. This battalion serves as a mobile field force for the Gao family and Gao Pet.

There are companies, platoons, and squads below the battalion, and the three-three system is established. Main preparations:

A crossbow company consists of three platoons, another fire support squad, a scout squad, a drinking squad, and a comprehensive communications and medical company, with a total of 152 people, a company commander, a deputy company commander, and an instructor. The main platoon is equipped with a crossbow, broadsword and multi-purpose dagger for each person, and the fire support squad is equipped with two thunderbolt cannons (bed crossbows), and each individual weapon is a broadsword and a multi-purpose dagger.

A company of spearmen. There are three spear platoons, another fire support squad, pikemen with 2.4-meter guns, two short spears (throwing weapons) and multi-purpose daggers, and other personnel and weapons are equipped with the same as above.

A company of shield soldiers. There are three shield platoons and one fire support squad, and the rest is the same as above. Shieldmen are mainly equipped with shields, broadswords, and multi-purpose daggers.

The battalion headquarters has a thunderbolt platoon, eight thunderbolt guns, each cannon is equipped with two base shells, one base number of rockets, one base number of divine thunder shells, and each gun has a base of 24 shells. The weapons of the guards are the Divine Arm Crossbow, the Broadsword, and the Multi-Purpose Dagger.

The personal guard platoon, consisting of spearmen, crossbowmen and shield men. Select the best and most loyal soldiers to join.

Scout communication platoon. Equipped with war horses, crossbows, sabers, and multi-purpose daggers.

The full strength of the battalion was 556 people. Total requires:

a) 1. 14 Thunderbolt cannons

b) 2. 200 crossbows

c) 3. 184 spears, shields, and broadswords

d) 4. 560 daggers.

This recruitment can only be carried out in the form of a recruitment hospital, and now there are many soldiers from the north outside, and the troops have been dispersed, and some of them still have tattoos on their faces, and the county government is also taking them in. But it is impossible to form the loyalty of the people recruited from outside, so about half of the original family soldiers must be drawn to become the core of the army, and some of the strong men of the Gao family must be recruited, but due to the limited Gao family, they can only meet one-third of the appearance.

Crossbows, arrows, cannonballs, and shields can be made by themselves, but the problem of knives, guns, and daggers has to be found in another way, and the amount is too large. The time is not yet ripe to open an iron factory by himself, and he has to discuss it with his second uncle.

Waiting for Gao Pet to complete the plan for building the army, Dazhu and they came back early, and they were fighting against each other in the courtyard. Sigui is in his twenties, it is the year of fighting, and he is also a good player in the Gao family guard, although Dazhu is only fifteen years old, but in recent years, he has been practicing martial arts with Gao Pet and is also desperate, fighting against Si Tuo, with more strength but less experience, the two of them can play chess against each other. Xiaocui and a few other family members applauded on the side. The yard was very lively. When I saw Gao Pet come out, I stopped.

"Sigui, you can stay by my side in the future, and I will tell my mother and second uncle. Dazhu, Xiaocui, you have a few rooms next to you, and let them live together. "Sigui and the six of them are all good hands personally selected by their mother and second uncle, and they are also the main force of the Gao family's nursing home.

Gao Pet came to his mother's side for dinner, and the second uncle had returned from the county office. Tell my mother about the situation in the north during this time. Seeing Gao Pet coming over, he roughly told Gao Pet again.

His mother said to him, "Second uncle, let's have dinner here, and I'll let my subordinates talk to my aunt." The second uncle sent a few followers back to the living room.

Dinner was ready, and after a few people finished eating, they went to the study together, and Aunt Zhang also came over.

Gao Zhong gave the second uncle the information on the formation of the army prepared in the afternoon, and introduced the situation in the morning. The second uncle stared at Gao Pet, why did this nephew have such good luck every time he went out, and now he has a gold and silver mine and a copper mine.

"I am in favor of the establishment of a guard battalion, but there are many problems to be solved in order to pull up this team of nearly 600 people. The problem of personnel is a little easier to handle, and now that there are so many people coming across the river, our own Gao family also has a bit of a foundation, and we can always pick out some people. But the problem of weapons is a bit difficult to handle, our own Gao family has a bit of a family background but the difference is too big, except for the gun, according to your requirements basically can't be used, to do it again, it seems that I still have to think of a way, use your grandfather's relationship to discuss with them to get the iron out. But another big problem is the problem of money, as you said, now we are making money, but we lack time, so should we focus on the industries that can make money first, and other aspects can be slowed down."

"Mother, I don't think it's like this, my grandfather's house is in Guichi, not far from here, it's 80 years and places, there are porcelain, there are good kiln technology, work together, I take out the cement production technology, let them contribute funds to provide technology, and everyone will share the profits, and now our porcelain bottles for wine are not let them do it." Gao Chong now needs cement immediately, so he mentioned this matter first, for the sake of money, Gao Chong wants to sell some technology, but Tongling is a small place, there are not many merchants, and the scale is not large. It's all their own family, but the mother herself doesn't dare to mention it, sometimes in the business to the mother's family, but Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao, the water spilled by the married woman is not a point of interest. The things that are darlings are not found in this world.

"If you can, the technology of glass can also be discussed."

"I think it's okay, my sister-in-law can send someone to talk about it, see what they want, it's also an opportunity for the Su family."

Of course, my mother saw that this opportunity was very important to the Zhang family, but it was inconvenient for her to come forward.

"If you think it's okay, I'll send someone to inform them and see if they have this intention, but if they come, this is still the second uncle's discussion, and I won't participate."

"Baijiu is now our main monetization product, I heard my mother say that I have placed an order for 1,000 porcelain bottles, I don't see enough, will it increase to 5,000? I also asked the shipyard to make some large barrels for cellaring. The scale of the matches is not on the scene, so I want to go to the brewery tomorrow. Gao Pet said.

After discussing for a long time, some things were settled, and Gao Zhong was asked to provide drawings of broadswords, multi-functional daggers, spears, and throwing guns, as well as some parts of the crossbow, hand crossbow, fuse, and shell shell by the second uncle. The mother arranged for people to go to the nursing home, the number can be one or two thousand, and most of the people will be left at that time, so as to ensure the quality of personnel. Gao Chong is responsible for the production of cement and glass and the production of wineries, gunpowder, cannonballs, crossbows, etc.
