Chapter 3: Everything is ready
If he wants to create chaos, Ying Zheng naturally needs to take stock of the Expedition Division's family in this realm. How many people, how many masters, how many talents, how many troops, and what is the combat power of the army......
Great Qin is about to start a war to destroy Korea, and it will not be able to draw too much manpower and material resources in a short period of time. What's more, even if South Korea is destroyed, Yingzheng doesn't want to expose the affairs of the heavens and worlds so quickly.
At the very least, you have to wait until Han Zhaowei is destroyed, or even after Chu is destroyed, before it can be exposed. By that time, the big picture has been decided, and the others will have nothing to fear, even if they know something.
Today's expeditionary division has its own army. As early as the second year, Lü Buwei conquered the Ryukyu Kingdom with the good men of Tsing Yi Lou and the elite army of 500 people trained by the Expedition Division.
The Ryukyu Kingdom is one of the subject states of the Ming Dynasty, and it is now being attacked by a certain part of Japan, and it will even be completely occupied by this local power of Japan in the future.
However, when Lü Buwei and the heroes of the Expedition Division arrived, everything was different. They occupied the Ryukyu Kingdom in advance and used it as an overseas base.
The Ryukyu Kingdom is actually not big, and it is said that it is a country, but it is essentially composed of a group of very small islands. The total area is about 4,000 square kilometers, and the total population is about 100,000.
Among the 100,000 people, there are kings, civil officials, military generals, and they are also good at internal fighting, like to die, and have countless external enemies.
However, due to the important location of the Ryukyu Kingdom, there were many passenger ships that traveled during the great voyage. Therefore, in the Ryukyu Kingdom, there are bases set up by the Pingnan Palace, bases set up by little old men, and bases set up by many wealthy merchants in the south.
There were so many forces that it couldn't afford to provoke any of them for the Ryukyu Kingdom, so it had to close the door and fight among themselves.
Even the reason why the Ryukyu Kingdom has not yet been conquered by the Japanese local tyrants is because these big powers do not allow it. And after Lü Buwei came, he launched a purge without saying a word.
It doesn't matter if you are a spy in the Pingnan Palace, or a subordinate of the little old man, or a powerful informant in Japan, kill them all. Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish.
There was even a shogunate, and the head of the shogunate was Yingzheng. However, Yingzheng has limited time, and only occasionally shows up, and major matters are handed over to Lu Buwei to deal with.
With a population of 100,000, it was extremely easy to mobilize 10,000 troops according to the strong mobilization capacity of the Warring States period. Previously, the Ryukyu Kingdom had an army of only a few hundred people.
After Lü Buwei took over, the current Ryukyu Kingdom had an elite army of 3,000 men. The high-ranking officers were all heroes of the Expedition Division, and the 3,000 people were trained in strict accordance with the latest standards of Great Qin.
Wind!
Wind!
Gale!
Listening to the roars of the soldiers, Yingzheng was still quite satisfied. At the very least, the army in front of him looks very capable of fighting.
"This is a team of officers, and the middle father has put his heart into it. ”
Hearing this, Lu Buwei stroked his beard with a smile: "Although the number of this army is very small, only three thousand, each of them has been trained according to the requirements of a hundred people. ”
"And the geographical location of the Ryukyus is very good, and there is enough money and treasure to train them. To this day, every single one of them reads and learns martial arts. Even if it is placed in Daqin, it is a qualified officer. ”
3,000 officers can easily be expanded to 30,000, and it is still the kind of 30,000 people with extremely strong combat effectiveness.
The biggest difference between the modern army and the classical feudal army is actually the number of officers, in the feudal era, sometimes there may be an army of 1,000 people, only one expert, which is very common.
Because the art of war in the feudal era was the art of slaying dragons, it was difficult for ordinary people to master it except for the soldiers. And the reason why the children of the generals can lead the troops is not because of the art of war, but because of the children they have cultivated since childhood.
Through these family births, they can effectively control the army. Coupled with the experience of leading troops handed down by his ancestors, he can be regarded as a qualified famous general.
In the modern army, every squad leader has gone to a military school and knows how to fight a war and what to do in any situation.
An army of 30,000 people, equipped with 3,000 qualified officers, is a proper modern army. After seeing the blood, coupled with the elite armor provided by Daqin, it was completely possible to beat the most elite border army of the Ming Dynasty in this realm.
"In addition to this army, the old man and the heroes of the expedition division have still made a lot of preparations in the past four years. Thanks to His Majesty's blessing, among the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom today, they have achieved the practice of martial arts by the whole people, and although their strength is not very good, it is still no problem to be healthy and not get sick. ”
And after research, it was found that these people who initially practiced martial arts would not get sick when they entered Yizhou Island, Luzon and other places. Even if they live in the jungle, they don't get sick because of the environment there. ”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up. The effect of this martial art is really beyond imagination. The biggest difficulty in immigrating to Southeast Asia, and even conquering countries such as Myanmar and Thailand, has never been the lack of military strength but the lack of adaptation.
For generations, it has been difficult for people from the Central Plains to adapt to the climate of Yizhou Island and Southeast Asia. If you immigrate there, you have to die at least halfway.
Just one malaria can kill people when it spreads, not to mention deadly killers such as bloodsucking worms that hide in the rainforest.
"Really? have you tried it?"
"Yes, in the past few years, in addition to Ryukyu, Lao Chen has been cultivating Yizhou Island. A total of 300,000 people were transported, and only 150,000 are still alive at the moment. ”
"In order to solve the problem of adapting to the soil and water, I have thought of many ways. In the end, it is still the best effect of practicing martial arts to strengthen the body, as long as you enter the realm of refining yourself and building a foundation, the mortality rate of immigrants will be reduced to one percent, and after entering the realm of refining and refining qi, unless you are too unlucky, you will not die at all. ”
Is it difficult to refine oneself and build a foundation? It is really not difficult, this is just the first step in practicing martial arts. Even ordinary people can enter this realm in only 100 days.
If you can eat three meals a day and occasionally have meat, no matter how bad your qualifications are, you can enter this realm within a year. At this moment, the Expedition Division is really not short of meat.
They are overseas, casually fishing in the sea, a fishing net can easily be tens of thousands of catties of sea fish, when they are lucky, it is hundreds of thousands of catties.
In the past few years, the salted fish transported to Daqin by the Expedition Division alone have averaged hundreds of thousands of catties per day. Most of these salted fish were digested by the army, and a small part went to the civilian population.
A few days later, Ying Zheng came to Yizhou Island. Stand on a high place and look at the fertile fields here. Although only 150,000 people survived, there were as many as 500,000 slaves in the land.
As for the number of fields, it is as much as 5 million mu, and it is still twice a year.
There are three thousand officer seeds.
There are 5 million acres of fields that grow twice a year.
There are also 30,000 sets of steel armor supported by Daqin.
With so much strength, it's enough to rebel directly, right?
