Zhuang Shaoyou's movements are so big, after three years of training, the princes who have grown up in their wings are ready to move again, especially those princes who participated in the alliance last time, are all gearing up, planning to be ashamed!

Of course, everyone is not a fool, and they all realize that Zhuang Shaoyou is definitely not what it used to be, and his strength will definitely skyrocket after digesting the Qingzhou territory. According to the reports of spies sent to Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and even southern Liaoning, Zhuang Shaoyou's troops were probably between 100,000 and 120,000, including the sailors.

I have to say that this information is still relatively accurate, but this is only a superficial phenomenon, and the real combat power is unknown.

Zhuang Shaoyou has four infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment, and one naval division regiment, with a total strength of 128,600 people. This is the regular army, in addition to about fifteen thousand local garrisons.

The Army Corps consists of two divisions, eight brigades, and a total of 20,000 men.

The First Infantry Corps, the corps commander Huang Zhong, the rank of major general, the corps chief of staff Tian Fengdai

The Second Infantry Corps, the corps commander Wen Ping, the rank of major general, and the corps chief of staff Zhuge Jindai

The Third Infantry Corps, the commander of the corps Sun Guan, the rank of major general, the chief of staff of the corps Hua Xindai

The Fourth Infantry Corps, the corps commander Guan Hai, the rank of major general, and the corps chief of staff Xun Youdai

The First Cavalry Corps, the commander of the corps Tai Shici, the rank of lieutenant general, the chief of staff of the corps none

Lejin is still the Minister of Military Affairs, and concurrently serves as the vice president of the Army Academy, with the rank of lieutenant general.

Zhou Cang, Li Kui (formerly Li Zhu), Li Cheng, and Qin Ling were all deputy commanders with the rank of brigadier general.

The newly formed regiments were all expanded on the basis of the original divisions, and the commanders of each division were promoted by one level, and their ranks were also upgraded by one level, and their deputies finally became legitimate generals.

But there is a strange phenomenon in the new legion, that is, the post of chief of staff of the legion is held by a civilian high-ranking official, and the rank is at least the same as or even beyond the corps commander! The subordinates also thought that Zhuang Shaoyou was taking precautions, and he wanted to use literature to prevent army rebellions in the future. In fact, this is caused by the lack of high-end talents at this stage! Among the generals, only Wen Pingyun Wen Yunwu, Sun Guan is familiar with the art of war, and Huang Zhong and Guan Hai are both full martial artists, so it is okay for them to charge into battle, and it is reluctant to command the battle formation, but if they want to strategize, it is absolutely impossible! Therefore, the actual commander of the corps is the chief of staff!

At this stage, the situation of using literature to control military forces will be improved in the future, although the territory is very large, but after all, it is limited, just such an acre and three points of land, Zhuang Shaoyou can fully dispatch it, and when the territory expands in the future, it will definitely add higher positions than the commander of the army, such as the governor and the like, and then the military generals will turn over.

Mo Yu, the commander of the Navy Corps, the rank of major general, the deputy corps commanders Hu Sanniang and Mo 13, the rank of brigadier general. There are two inland river brigades and one ocean-going brigade

The establishment of the river brigade remains the same, with four squadrons and a total of 8,800 people;

The ocean-going brigade consisted of three squadrons, six six-masted ships and twelve five-masted ships, with a total of 11,000 men!

The six-masted warship was launched a year ago, and it took a year to build six of the two docks.

The hull of the six-masted warship is twenty-six feet and five feet long, eight feet and five feet wide, five feet and nine feet high, and the draft is one zhang and six feet. The ship has seven horizontal and seven longitudinal sails, and the speed is 320 to 650 miles, which is one percent faster than the five-masted warship. The bilge is equipped with 160 man-powered oars, and the warehouse volume is 2,500 square meters, which is slightly smaller than the cargo hold of a five-masted merchant ship. The maximum capacity is 900 people.

The foredeck of the six-masted warship was equipped with twenty-four bed crossbows, which fired eight times in a row, with a range of 700 paces; There are 60 trebuchets in the stern of the ship, with a range of 600 paces; The sides of the ship are equipped with 36 six-shot crossbow machines, with a range of 250 paces; The ship can carry forty eight-shot ballistas! There are also eight rocket crossbow parking spaces.

The armament of the six-masted warship is greatly improved compared with the five-masted warship, and the short-range weapons of the ship's good strategy are few, and the number of long-range weapons has been greatly increased, making the warship more suitable for open water combat, especially the eight rocket ballista positions, which more than doubles the long-range strike capability compared with the five-masted warship!

Of course, the cost of such a warship, armed to the teeth, is quite expensive, and it is already as high as six million yuan a piece! And the five-masted warship is only 240,000 yuan a piece, which is two and a half times more!

Before taking Yanzhou, the population of Zhuang Shaoyou's territory was close to three million. And with the actions of the past few days, after annexing many territories in Qingyan Prefecture, the population has surged to 4.5 million.

However, for the current Zhuang Shaoyou, the population is not a burden at all, and the more the better! After tightening his belt and struggling to survive the first year of the first peace, Zhuang Shaoyou vigorously cultivated the territory in the hands of the elite and recruited displaced people to open up Xintian.

In this increasingly chaotic era, the relatively stable environment and the policy of not starving to death are indeed amazing, and the people around have come to vote, and Zhuang Shaoyou is the one who comes!

In the southeast plain of Liaoning, the central plain of Qingzhou, the plain of Dongjun and the plain of Taishan, a total of nearly one million hectares of fields have been cultivated, and the annual income of grain exceeds 70 million! It is enough to feed a population of eight or nine million, and the food accumulated in three years has already burst into stock. The price of grain in various places under Zhuang Shaoyou's rule has fallen to one hundred and fifty yuan! Ten times lower than the average price in the Central Plains!

However, there is a clear stipulation that grain is a strategic material, all government-run, and private ownership is prohibited! Especially for smuggling grain out of the country, those who violate the order will be killed!

The low grain prices in Puyang and other places are a fragrant bait, and the princes of the Central Plains all came up with the smell of it, and tried all kinds of ways to get grain out from here, but they all failed. In desperation, I can only come to Zhuang Shaoyou. And Zhuang Shaoyou is according to the needs of the situation, pulling the weak and fighting the strong, selling grain selectively and with a quota, and the price is set extremely chicken! Just stuck on the bottom line of the princes.

In the end, although it was a little more expensive, it was better than nothing, and the princes from all walks of life reluctantly accepted it.

Not only did the food attract the hungry princes, but the people also heard about it, and they heard that there was food here, and no one died of hunger, it was simply heaven!

For these people who come to eat mixed rice, Zhuang Shaoyou does not refuse to come, but there is one thing, you must obey the organizational arrangement! You have to go where you go! Be responsible, where to come from, where to cool go!

Tai Shici famously said: "It is said that the cavalry corps is the first combat force under the general, but to tell you the truth: the general has no cavalry corps, and he is still a famous general in the world; But once the cavalry corps leaves the general, it loses its combat effectiveness in seven days and falls apart in a month! Even if the current cavalry wanted to leave, the horses would not agree! Therefore, the cavalry corps is the most loyal supporter under the command of the general! ”

Now the horses have a bad mouth, three meals of fodder a day, a meal of wheat and a meal of corn, and a meal of fresh grass! Of course, it's great to be able to grind it into a mush! In the winter, the grass is not eaten. The food consumed by the 20,000 war horses of the cavalry legion can feed 200,000 ordinary people!

The army has been expanding all the time, and training has become a big problem.

In the end, Zhuang Shaoyou thought of a way, and the sailor was sent to the Japanese country to exterminate the pirates, and the three brigades took turns to clear the pirates in the Japanese country, killing those pirates was miserable, not only the pirates near Kyushu Island were eliminated, but even the pirates in Honshu, Shikoku, and Hokkaido were not left behind.

Now the whole country has reached a unanimous consensus to close the country!

Why do you want to close your country?

Because there are robbers out there! Very powerful bandits!

Since you can't make a living at sea, you will lose your life, so you can only go back to China to continue the war! As a result, the domestic conquest of the Japanese kingdom became more intense. Everyone went to war, the land was barren, and there was naturally a shortage of food, so Zhuang Shaoyou exchanged the extremely cheap grain in the warehouse for a lot of real money, silver, and local products.

Finally, the first three years of peace, the first day of the first month.

After accumulating tens of millions of catties of silver, Zhuang Shaoyou ordered to start minting silver coins, which was called: Silver Treasure of the World.

After a lapse of five years, Tianxia Yinbao came out, and at this time, Yinbao's big brother Jinbao has become the hard currency in East Asia, half of the gold in this region has been looted in southern Liaoning, and then printed into Tianxia Jinbao re-launched.

The world's Jinbao, each half catty, is used for bulk goods settlement, and is rarely circulated among the people; Therefore, the issuance of Tianxia Yinbao is mainly for ordinary people. Zhuang Shaoyou set the exchange ratio of gold and silver at 1:10.

There are two kinds of silver treasures in each world, the big one weighs half a catty, which is equivalent to five hundred coins, which is called a big silver treasure; The small one weighs seven baht and six coins, which is equivalent to one hundred coins.

1 gold treasure = 10 large silver treasure = 5 small silver treasure = 5000 money

After the issuance of silver coins, they were restricted to circulation in Zhuang Shaoyou's territory, and because of the huge circulation, they finally got rid of the fate of being collected by the people, and coupled with the strong management of the government, they finally successfully circulated in the market.

The effect of the naval division's large-scale military training is remarkable, and it has also caused such a series of very good effects, and the army has no place to train, Zhuang Shaoyou promised not to attack the princes within three years, and Zhuang Shaoyou obviously intends to keep his promise.

Later, Zhuang Shaoyou thought of a way to go to the northern grassland to train his troops!

Transport ships transport the soldiers of the legion to the grasslands in the north, in the past, at the beginning of spring every year, it was Wuhuan or Xianbei or they who came together to attack Liaodong, but now it was changed to Zhuang Shaoyou to fight them!

In particular, Tai Shici's cavalry is like a fish in water on the grassland, learning while fighting, and improving extremely quickly!

On the grassland bordering Liaodong, except for the Yuwen Department, which was good friends with Zhuang Shaoyou, the other tribes were all hit hard by Zhuang Shaoyou. Sometimes Gongsun Du was also busy sending troops to follow Zhuang Shaoyou's experience.

Gongsun Du had the support of Zhuang Shaoyou, replaced with new armaments, and straightened out the relationship with Liaodong Haoqiang, his strength rose sharply, and there were already 15,000 iron cavalry and 20,000 infantry, and all the old enemies of Xuansu County and Liaodong County were wiped out, and then turned the spearhead and began to plot against Lelang County.

Commerce in southern Liaoning has always been booming, and after digesting the Qingyan area, it is going to the next level!

The balance of 120 million dollars at the end of the year in the first year of the first year of the first peace was mainly due to the huge cost of bereavement and recruitment of new soldiers after the war;

In the second year of the first peace, the balance at the end of the year was 300 million yuan, because most of the income of that year was used for the construction of the spiritual land;

In the first three years, the balance at the end of the year was 580 million!

This year's balance is sure to grow significantly!

Elite soldiers, abundant food and grass, prosperous commerce, a stable rear, perfect intelligence, everything shows that it is time to fight!
