Although it costs a lot to recruit troops from the Shenzhou Continent, it has to be said that it is indeed a good idea, so that the Tang Kingdom can almost mobilize 100,000 troops, and even have infinite and powerless military resources.

This strategy was offered by Yoo Hyun-kun, the head of the royal secretariat, and he was favored by His Majesty and sat firmly on the throne of the head of the secretariat.

The human resources of the Tang Kingdom are extremely valuable, from industry to agriculture and animal husbandry, people are needed everywhere, and it is difficult to recruit tens of thousands of troops to fight in Europe, even if a large number of residents are willing to respond, the government is not happy.

Because this will inevitably affect the overall social and economic development, and recruiting directly from the Shenzhou migrant camp is not only small in cost and effective, but also has almost endless military resources.

In today's North Pacific routes, the "Preferential Freight Deduction Tax Act" is implemented, specifically;

It is an ocean liner to the mainland of China, and in the case of less than the cargo in the warehouse, it can carry a different number of grain ballast, and the corresponding taxes and fees can be deducted according to its quantity.

The daily taxes and fees to be paid by ocean liners operated by various shipping companies are the visa fee for the liner voyage, the port fee, the poll tax for inbound passengers, the income tax calculated on the number of immigrants and the tax on goods, plus the operating costs of the shipping company, which are basically the costs they pay.

For example, a 5,000-ton cargo ship carrying 2,300 tons of cargo to the East Asian continent can load 2,000 tons of grain ballast at the port of Los Angeles, and after returning home, part of the taxes and fees will be deducted according to the 2,000 tons of grain, so as to save operating costs.

So

The grain produced by the royal farms of the Tang Kingdom can be transported to the ports of the Shenzhou continent through preferential tax policies, one for grain trade, and the other for relief of the victims, and its cost is so low that it is outrageous.

This is due to the fact that the royal farm uses a large number of hard servants, and the cost is almost zero, except for some administrative costs.

The food produced by the royal farms was naturally able to sustain the operation of the forced labor camps, and the surplus was used for sale, storage and relief to the victims, which could play the greatest role in stabilizing society.

Transpacific grain transportation is a loss-making business, and only through the guidance of preferential tax policies can the enthusiasm of private liner companies be stimulated.

The number of grain transported by private liner companies is also an important part of the company's evaluation, and in the case of the increasing popularity of the North Pacific golden immigration route, some companies will be able to get better routes, such as Foshan port, Zhangzhou port, Mawei port and other southern port routes.

These routes of the southern ports can be used to load and transport the popular bulk goods such as tea, porcelain, silk and raw silk, lacquerware, and bamboo, as well as the spices, lead, aluminum, and cane sugar that are abundant in the south. and other goods, which greatly improves the company's revenue.

Then most of these cargo liners are loaded with goods, and a small part of them carry immigrants with full loads, and the corresponding benefits are higher.

However, some routes only arrive at the northern port, because there is not enough cargo, they can only load as many migrants as possible on the return trip, and the corresponding cargo is less, which is obviously not as oily as the southern route.

In this case

Whether or not to approve the liner company to increase the liner on the southern route is a great power controlled by the government.

One of the evaluation criteria is to measure the implementation of the "Preferential Freight Deduction Tax Law" of each company, and the more deductions the shipping company will make to the society, the more likely it is to obtain the right to add ships on the southern route.

It is precisely through reasonable policy guidance that the Tang Kingdom has been able to continuously transport tens of thousands of tons of grain to the Shenzhou mainland, of which more than 70% is used for grain trade, 20% is used for perennial relief to the victims, and 10% of the income is used to maintain the daily operation of the refugee camps at various ports.

Before the end of 1854

After a month of preliminary training, the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom arrived at the port of Los Angeles through the liner of the trans-North Pacific route, and then arrived at the barracks in a long queue of infantry to begin a two-month military training and combat formation.

At the end of the year and at the beginning of 1855, the division, having completed its military training, sailed south to Panama, from where it traveled 76 kilometers by train for about an hour and 50 minutes to the city of Colón on the Caribbean side.

The Port of Cologne is an important port for the Atlantic trade between the United States and Europe in the Tang Kingdom, and has developed into a medium-sized port city with a population of 175,000, and its economic pillar is mainly entrepot trade.

From here it is about a 12 to 13-day voyage into the Bosphorus by boat via the Caribbean Sea into the vast Atlantic Ocean, and a further three-day voyage to the front line of Krimilan.

Generally speaking

Reinforcements from North America would go ashore in the coastal areas of the Ottoman Empire, where they would replenish their logistical provisions, familiarize themselves with the local climate, organize restorative military training, replenish weapons and equipment, and then choose opportunities to go to the front lines, including but not limited to the Sevastopol fortress on the Crimean Peninsula.

In charge of commanding this expeditionary force were Army Major Generals Viscount Duan Debiao and Viscount James Kahn, two middle-aged and outstanding generals who performed well in the Tang-Mexico War, and were responsible for leading the Tang Kingdom Expeditionary Force to fight in Europe.

Due to factors such as language and command, the mercenaries funded by the British were also included in the command of the Tang Kingdom Expeditionary Force, and were included in the command of the Tang Kingdom Expeditionary Force, and the Tang Kingdom sent experienced officers and sergeants to build the command skeleton and obtain the number of the Tang Kingdom Army, from the 5th Division to the 9th Division.

The port of Sinop, which belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire

The harbor is full of sailing cargo ships, huge white sails dotted on the blue sea, full of exotic atmosphere, large steamships are leaning against the dock, and a large number of soldiers with rifles on their backs and wearing dark blue military uniforms are lining up.

After a 13-day transatlantic voyage, they finally arrived in the Black Sea region and the troops of the Tang Kingdom will rest in the Sinop region to adapt to the local climate and environment.

Sinop is located south of the Black Sea in the Ottoman Empire, across the vast Black Sea, opposite the Crimean peninsula, one in the south and one in the north.

It was already the beginning of February 1855, and the 6th and 7th Divisions of the Expeditionary Force had just arrived here, and the 8th and 9th Divisions had arrived more than half a month later.

Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengfei, commander of the 6th Division, stood on the dock in full uniform, and beside him was Lieutenant Colonel Lin Feng, commander of the 7th Division.

The formation of the expeditionary force to Europe this time, a large number of experienced officers and sergeants were drawn from the active army, Fan Pengfei and Lin Feng were among them, and the military rank was promoted to one level and awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel in the army, serving as a division commander.

Unlike the 1st to 4th Divisions of the Tang Kingdom Expeditionary Force, their division commanders are all colonels, and the commanders from the 5th Division to the 9th Division are all lieutenant colonels, which is the gap between elite troops and cannon fodder units.

"Brother Pengfei, this time I was appointed by the military department to fight in Europe, depending on the situation, I can't go back for two or three years, fortunately, my husband gave birth to a boy, otherwise this delay, my old Lin family has no successor!" Lieutenant Colonel Lin Feng walked over and said.

Lieutenant Colonel Lin Feng and Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengfei were both born in the royal family guard, they have been in the army for seven or eight years, and they are close comrades-in-arms.

Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengfei heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he replied with one hand holding the saber at his waist; "Brother Ah Feng, participating in the European War this time is the best opportunity for us to observe the combat level and capabilities of the European armies up close. Why did the British and the French colonize the whole world? I think there's a lot to learn from this. ”

"I heard that the losses of Britain and France are 780,000 troops, the losses of the coalition forces plus the Ottoman Empire have exceeded 250,000, and the Tsarist side has exceeded 320,000, which is really an extremely terrible number, and the war is too bloody."

"Yes, the armies of Britain and France have a strong spirit of sacrifice and a sense of military honor, and the commanders take the lead. The British commander above the brigadier general level had already lost 14 people, and on the battlefield the Russians used a 50-gram conical heavy bomb, which was quite predictable as a tougher opponent than the Americans. ”

"God forbid, I hope I can go back if I have a life." Lieutenant Colonel Lin Feng smiled bitterly.

Looking at the soldiers who were gathering on the dock, Lieutenant Colonel Lin Feng was not at ease in his heart, as one of the senior officers of the expeditionary force, he had a deeper understanding of the cruelty of the European battlefield.

Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengfei turned sideways to look at him, and gently patted Lieutenant Colonel Lin Feng's shoulder with his hand to express relief.

Both of them are young and middle-aged senior officers rising in the army, and they belong to one of the outstanding officers that have emerged in the Tang Kingdom over the years.

However, compared with the many outstanding officers in the Tang Kingdom, they did not appear to be outstanding in the army due to their late start, and they also needed richer war experience to prove their ability.

The Crimean War is a good opportunity.

Participating in the European war not only allowed him to be promoted by one rank in the army, but also gained valuable experience in independently commanding division-level troops, which was particularly valuable.

If you are promoted and promoted step by step in the army of the Tang Kingdom, with the reality that the army is small in the current state of peace, it is estimated that you will not be able to go further after more than ten years of hesitation in the military rank of major.

The 5 mercenary divisions funded by the British had to entrust the Tang Kingdom to send officers and elite sergeants to build a command team because of the language and the fact that their own officers were drained, which gave Fan Pengfei and Lin Feng excellent opportunities for middle and upper-level officers.

Once you miss it, you will never encounter it again in this life.

"Brother Ah Feng, since the British and French can fight evil battles and gnaw hard bones, it makes no sense that we can't. From training to dispatching, the mercenary division formed this time was all brought out by us single-handedly. I have a lot of faith in these soldiers. Lieutenant Colonel Fan Pengfei waved his right hand vigorously as he spoke, in order to strengthen his tone.

His gaze was fixed on the soldiers gathered on the docks, and with a strange look on his face, he continued;

"These Jiaodong soldiers and Jianghuai soldiers are all refugees, can endure hardships, have good obedience, and as long as they are given a piece of bread in their arms, they can hold out in the trenches for a long time.

I firmly believe;

Through the trials and tribulations of war, these soldiers were quickly able to break out and quickly grow into an elite army.

Our responsibility is to minimize casualties as much as possible and to lead them to victory.

I don't believe that the serfs in Russia can be stronger than our army?

Through the test of war, the Colt Type 1848 repeating rifle equipped by our troops is more powerful and more effective than the smoothbore guns of the Russian soldiers.

And this is the confidence of our victory, Brother Ah Feng, the British and the military may use us as cannon fodder, but we ourselves can't agree with it.

Be sure to play our toughness and respond to any doubts with victory.

Only in this way can the divisions led by us be truly accepted by the military department, which is the only way to become an elite army. ”

"Brother Pengfei, why don't I know?" Lieutenant Colonel Lin Feng sighed softly, and said with a trace of worry on his face; "Don't worry, there will definitely be no shortage of big battles and vicious battles faced by our divisions, the first to fourth divisions are the heart and soul of the expeditionary military department, and we must go first to gnaw hard bones, and we can't avoid them if we want to."

"Then we should think about how we can reduce the number of casualties?"

"The soldiers are not equipped with cuirasses, and the Russians' 50-gram cone-shaped heavy bomb is not a joke, and there is no way to prevent it at all! On the battlefield, you can only resign yourself to fate. ”

"Not necessarily, we can fight at night, there is no shortage of seafood here in the European theater, let's take out some of the funds in the division and supplement the nutrition of the soldiers. In addition, during the recuperation period, I will strengthen the training for night battles, and I think this method will work. ”

"This will reduce the casualties of the troops, and I am willing to try."

"Okay, that's it."

Speaking of this, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Sinop was the core mainland area of Ottoman rule, with a slightly better standard of living than remote and border areas, and there were not too many complex ethnic and religious contradictions.

After the Tang Kingdom army arrived here, more than a dozen large barracks were established around the town, and Sinop City also became prosperous due to the presence of tens of thousands of troops.

Huge numbers of Turkish women flocked to the city, Chinese soldiers on leave could be seen swaggering through the city and countryside with local women, and brothels and vendors selling all kinds of food filled the town, showing a deformed prosperity.

This was almost an inevitable by-product of the outbreak of war in Europe, where prostitutes and vendors of all kinds were part of the army, and the commanders turned a blind eye to it.

The pressure on the soldiers on the battlefield was too great, and the overall casualty rate of the British and French armies exceeded one-third, and the war was still far away.

From the outbreak of war last year to the beginning of this year, there have been large-scale battalion roars in British and French troops.

Due to the high level of mental tension, once the soldiers who slept until midnight were awakened by the sound of artillery, they would rush out with their guns in their arms and fire indiscriminately, thus causing even greater confusion......

Therefore, when the army rotates to rest, finding a woman to vent or drink some wine is a very good way to relax, so that the nerves will not be too tense.
