Chapter 233: The Idea of Expansion
The reason why such a big military reform is to be carried out, the main reason is that Lin Ruofeng also found the Achilles heel of the field army after this war, although the field army is very elite, but the number is still too small after all, the role that can be obtained is still limited, in this vast world, the war of millions of troops at every turn, 130,000 troops are really nothing, even if the field army is elite, the impact on the overall situation is not too great, after this tragic war Lin Ruofeng had the idea of expanding the army.
Previously, in order to forcibly open the meridians and improve the martial arts for the 130,000 Dragon Soul Iron Cavalry and Xiao Cavalry Army, not only did they dispatch hundreds of second-rate masters who were Great Zhao to consume a lot of their vitality, but also consumed all the precious medicinal materials stored in the treasury for thousands of years.
The medicinal materials in the treasury can be worth at least more than 10 million taels of silver, but they can only build a foundation for 130,000 Dragon Soul Iron Cavalry and Xiao Cavalry, the cost is too great, and these medicinal materials are not easy to buy, so Lin Ruofeng has no idea of expanding the army.
In the past, there was no economic foundation, but the news from the Longfei Comptoir that a large number of equipment seized from Bayan Zhuoer City had been sold to the Byzantine Empire through the Guò Han Merchant House, and a huge amount of money of 20 million silver was obtained, and then a huge amount of equipment was seized in the two major battles of the Bulgan City Siege and the Bulgan City Defensive Counterattack War, although it was captured from the corpses of Rakshasa soldiers, the price may not be as high as the battle readiness of Bayan Zhuoer City, but the victory lies in the huge quantity, Lin Ruofeng initially estimated that it is no problem to sell 30 million taels of silver。
Other seized strategic materials and silver and gold naturally had to be returned to the treasury, and Da Zhao also paid a huge price for this Da Zhao, and some of these things could quickly restore Da Zhao's vitality. For the long-term development of Da Zhao is inevitable. It's about the future of Da Zhao. Although Lin Ruofeng has a noble status, he doesn't dare to pay attention to these things, but the money exchanged for these equipment Lin Ruofeng can still intercept and develop the Xiao cavalry.
With these 50 million taels of silver, Lin Ruofeng's confidence is much more, and now there are 387 second-rate masters of the Dragon Soul Iron Cavalry and Xiao Cavalry Army, and the masters needed to build the foundation are almost enough, and in terms of medicinal materials, Lin Ruofeng can collect some of the power of the imperial court. Then Longfei Commercial Bank collected some of it from the private sector, and entrusted the Han Firm, which has influence all over the world, to collect some of it overseas, and there should be no big problem with medicinal materials.
However, considering that the quantity of these Chinese medicinal materials in Da Zhao is limited after all, and the collection of traditional Chinese medicine is not attached to abroad, and if the imperial court, Longfei Commercial Bank, and Han's Commercial Bank purchase at the same time, it will inevitably greatly increase the price of medicinal materials, so Lin Ruofeng is expected to be able to collect enough medicinal materials for 480,000 people within half a year, and expand the Xiaocai Battalion by four times. Reaching 600,000 people is already the limit.
Of course, it is certainly unrealistic for these new members to reach the combat effectiveness of the current Cavalry. Without two or three years of solid training and the tempering of big battles, the current 120,000 cavalry troops can definitely wipe out 500,000 recruits effortlessly, so training these recruits can only take their time, and it will take at least three years to really use them.
As for Night Rain Fairy, after the initial panic and panic, she has slowly accepted the reality of losing her martial arts, which is also a big reason why Night Rain Fairy's obsession with martial arts is not very deep, practicing martial arts is more about exercising and killing time for her, and martial arts are not all for her, which is why Lin Ruofeng was able to persuade her to give up the second-rate peak immortal technique and take the risk of transforming into a second-rate mid-level ice cold magic technique.
The most important thing is that in the past month or so, Lin Ruofeng's meticulous care of her has also played a decisive role, Ye Yuxian is a very emotional person, and the most beloved person was by her side during her injury, so that the night rain fairy who was in a very gloomy mood could also feel the warmth of spring. It was love that made her slowly fade the grief of losing her martial arts.
Of course, even so, Night Rain Fairy also felt quite lost, from a top master's martial arts loss, the feeling of losing her true qi made her often depressed and crazy, even if she could be equivalent to a third-order master in terms of physical strength and actual combat, it couldn't make her really free.
However, Lin Ruofeng was already very satisfied with this result, Zhao Yingming's crazy state after losing his martial arts was still vivid in Lin Ruofeng's eyes, he was afraid that Ye Yuxian would not be able to accept the blow, but fortunately, Ye Yuxian finally survived and walked out in the shadow of loss.
If you want to say that Lin Ruofeng is more satisfied, it must be the attitude of Night Rain Fairy towards him now, maybe because of Lin Ruofeng's sacrifice of life on the battlefield to protect the safety of Night Rain Fairy, maybe because of the two people kissing under Stephen King's fatal attack, maybe because Lin Ruofeng took meticulous care of Night Rain Fairy during this time, maybe it was the natural weakness of Night Rain Fairy who was in the most vulnerable and lowest trough, or there were reasons in every aspect, in short, Night Rain Fairy was particularly dependent on and even attached to Lin Ruofeng during this time, and pulled Lin Ruofeng to accompany her almost every day before stopping。
The years are rarely silent, and the autumn wind is tired of wandering.
The sunset is not leaving, and I am reluctant to hang on the wall
In the past, the whispers in the ears of the people of Iraq have flowed eastward.
Looking back, the past also fell with the maple leaves.
Love has come to an end, and hate has given up on promises.
Fate thinks that there are too many humorous ideas for me.
Top Gun is a little worried, and it is rare for a confidant to stay.
Looking back again, I heard laughter and was drunk in my dreams.
Jokes and words are poor, and the madness of the past is finally empty.
The knife is blunt, the blade is ungraceful, and the dream is broken.
The road is deserted and the beach is full of footprints, and no one understands.
After years of looking through the red dust, I haven't seen through.
The words are ridiculed and inked, and there are thousands of grievances and sorrows.
At the end of the song, the people emitted flowers, sideburns, white and red.
The candle is not aware of the emaciation of the sun.
When the tears dried, the blood gushed wildly, and the snow flew into the sky.
.......................................
After years of looking through the red dust, I haven't seen through.
At the end of self-deprecation, all feelings and fate have been sorrowful.
At the end of the song, the people emitted flowers, sideburns, white and red.
The candle is not aware of the emaciation of the sun.
When the tears dried, the blood gushed wildly, and the snow flew into the sky.
When Lin Ruofeng sang "Sigh" more than a dozen times, Night Rain Fairy finally fell asleep quietly, looking at Night Rain Fairy's quiet sleeping face, her delicate pretty face seemed to fall into the mortal world, Lin Ruofeng was a burst of love, and after the quilt was gently covered on Night Rain Fairy, Lin Ruofeng finally turned around and went out.
Waiting for Lin Ruofeng, the night rain fairy, who was already asleep, quietly opened her eyes that seemed to be as moving as a flood of autumn water, the corners of her mouth curled, and a smile quietly climbed onto her beautiful face, in fact, most of her injuries have healed, but she is now obsessed with the feeling of being held in the palm of Lin Ruofeng's hand, even if she loses her martial arts, she can't lose hope.
Night Rain Fairy thought sweetly about how good it would be if he could do this to me for the rest of his life.
Night Rain Fairy closed her eyes and fell asleep with a reverie of future happiness.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
There was still not much movement on the battlefield in the northwest, during which Ye Lingyan took the initiative to lead the Rouran Iron Cavalry to attack once, and after killing millions of soldiers of the Great Food Country, the army of the Great Food Country retreated for a full five thousand miles.
However, the Great Food Country still did not withdraw its troops, but only stationed all 8 million troops on the frontier to fight against Ye Ling.
Ye Ling Yan knew that the Great Food Country must be waiting for the arrival of the Persian army, the Rakshasa and the orc alliance had now been completely wiped out, and the Great Food Country naturally did not dare to confront the Great Zhao alone, and the Persian army would be able to reach the battlefield in two months, so there was no need for them to take risks at all.
Ye Lingyan could also guess their thoughts, but he was helpless, the northwest side is not like the Rakshasas, most of the Mongolian territory is the steppe, that is the world of the cavalry, and the Rakshasa is not prepared, the expeditionary force can catch them off guard, and the luck component is also very large.
However, the situation in the northwest is very different, not only the altitude is relatively high, the terrain is complicated, which is not conducive to the march and operation of the large army that is not familiar with the terrain, and the wind and sand are pervasive, basically the Gobi terrain, which is very unfavorable to the Dazhao army that is not familiar with the terrain.
Besides, the Great Zhao Expeditionary Force is very unprepared to come, and the possibility of the Great Zhao Expeditionary Force wanting to surprise attack is very low, and they occupy various dangerous terrains, relying on the Gobi Mountains, which is very unfavorable to the Great Zhao Army, not to mention that the average strength of the Great Zhao Army is not as good as the Great Food Country Army, so Ye Lingyan has no choice but to dry up with them.
In the city of Bulgan.
The situation in the north of Xinjiang also seems to be very calm, after the war, both the Rakshasa and the orcs are greatly injured, Da Zhao has no ability to attack the Rakshasa and the orcs are also unable to counterattack Da Zhao, so it can only be in a stalemate.
Looking at the shape shì is quite stable, Lin Ruofeng quietly sent Zhao Long to lead three cavalry battalions to return to the Great Zhao Capital with the ashes of the martyrs two months ago, one is to protect the safety of Ye Ling, and the other is responsible for training recruits.
And Lin Haotian also began to select school-age teenagers in Dazhao on a large scale according to Lin Ruofeng's requirements, and the number was initially set at about 800,000.
These recruits are expected to be recruited within a year, and Zhao Long will lead three cavalry battalions to conduct basic training for these recruits first, and will organize screening after Lin Ruofeng returns to Dazhao, and then use drugs and the vitality of second-rate masters to build a foundation for them.
