Section 518: Liu Ju's decision(1/2)

The Han military system implemented the classical military system of the troops.

This is a military organization originating from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

A standard basic unit of Han combat is the lieutenant (department), with a subordinate of Qu, and the chief of Qu is Wait Sima.

Generally, one lieutenant department sets two songs, called the front and back songs or the left and right songs.

But field troops usually strengthen a combat song to supplement combat effectiveness.

The composition of Xinfeng's song is composed of county soldiers.

There are five standard villages under the Qu, each village has two teams, and each team has five officials.

One song is composed by two hundred people!

Even if it is a county soldier, the military pay is far inferior to that of a field army, and at least 5,000 yuan a year is required.

We also have to distribute clothes for four seasons to the soldiers and provide two meals.

This is just a basic requirement.

If this unit is to be combat-effective, it is necessary to feed the soldiers meat and provide sufficient nutrition!

Three months ago, Zhang Yue had seen the treatment of soldiers from the Northern Army with his own eyes.

Beef, lamb, pork, fish, eggs, shrimps and crabs are almost everything.

It is precisely because of this that the six captains of the Northern Army were able to look down on the world with only one or two thousand troops of each captain's headquarters, making the Huns frightened.

It is obvious that Xinfeng Finance now cannot support an elite soldier of this size.

Spend a million a year to hit local county soldiers in Xinfeng?

It is equivalent to the average of every Xinfeng people, which requires an additional tax of more than ten yuan?

When Zizi was just calculating the tuition, he added 20 cents of tuition and an additional 3 cents of tuition and a total of 23 cents, and he was already bleeding from the crowd.

If Zhang Yue does this again and distributes military expenditure to the farmers, his personality will soon collapse.

Therefore, Zhang Yue’s original plan was to wait until the Workshop Garden can provide a large amount of taxes stably next year before doing this.

But now, we have to go ahead.

Fortunately...

There is no need to increase the burden on farmers, just increase the price of the curved plow and cart.

If you add one or two hundred yuan per unit, it should be almost done.

Since money is not a problem, then what kind of soldiers to train has become Zhang Yue’s consideration.

First of all, Zhang Yue made it clear in his heart that one thing must be a new army!

What is a new army?

An army that adopts new equipment or new tactics must at least be an army built with new combat guiding ideology.

Just like the Wei Wushang trained by Wu Qi in Wei State, just like the tiger and wolf army inspired by the Qin army's military meritorious lords who once swept the world.

It is also like the Han cavalry when Wei Qing and Huo Qubing emerged!

In short, this force must have the ability to break certain restrictions or shackles.

Even, it may also take on the role of bringing war into a new era!

At present, the Han and Hun cavalry mainly rely on hedging.

This has been confirmed by Zhang Yue from countless historical materials and materials and Lantai archives.

The evidence is that from the first battle between the Han and the Huns, until now, for a hundred years, the tactics of the Huns have been hand-to-hand hedging.

The cavalry hedging hand-to-hand is the most romantic and cruel thing.

The largest cavalry hedge between the Han and the Hungarian armies occurred in the Battle of Gaolan Mountain twenty-five years ago.

Huo Qubing's army encountered the main force of the Xiongnu's Right Xian King, the King of Zhelan and the King of the Royal Court at the foot of Gaolan Mountain.

The cavalry of the two armies formed a formation under Gaolan Mountain and then began a death charge.

The result of the battle was that the main force of the Right King of the Huns was wiped out, and the Aries and Zhelan were removed from the list!

But Huo Qubing's department also suffered heavy losses, killing more than 30% of the troops!

This kind of stupid cavalry hedging may be difficult for future generations to understand.

But at that time, neither the Han army nor the Huns were equipped with saddles or stirrups.

The movements of cavalry on horseback are limited, and except for a few people with superb riding skills, most of them are not able to bend bows and shoot arrows on horseback.

If you want to shoot immediately, the only way is to dismount and shoot.

So you can only use this stupid method.

But compared with the Huns, the Han army had more exquisite and deadly foot-pedal crossbows and light crossbows that could be held.

The moment he caught the enemy, he pulled the trigger and shot the opponent down.

Therefore, the Huns were beaten to the point of being bruised by the Han army. For fifteen years after the decisive battle in Mobei, the Huns did not even dare to take the initiative and could only defend themselves.

It was not until recent years that the Huns dared to launch a strategic offensive again.

Stirrups and saddles are not very difficult for Zhang Yue.

There is no technical difficulty, he can even take out the cavalry equipment from the 18th century in Europe.

only……

Now, there are two tech trees in front of him.

Should I take the heavy cavalry route or the Mongolian light cavalry tour route?

The heavy cavalry, such a group of troops, has a very strong visual impact. Moreover, for the Huns, even if Zhang Yue only used the heavy cavalry skills of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it would be enough to prevent them from fighting back.

but……

Heavy cavalry has too high technical requirements and war horses, and it is difficult to train on a large scale.

More importantly...

The heavy cavalry is a toy for the nobles, where can ordinary people afford it?

And the light cavalry...

Of course there are many benefits.

An elite light cavalry who is good at riding and shooting and has rich combat experience can insult and whip his opponents wantonly.

Flying kites and beating.

It is also very suitable for the current Han and Hun battlefield and the future westward advance.

But the problem is...

Elite light cavalry is too difficult to train.

They have to be able to move 360 ​​degrees on the horse's back, be able to use all weapons skillfully, and have extremely keen battlefield observation and sense of crisis.

After thinking about it in my mind, Zhang Yue temporarily put the issue on hold.

Because, neither heavy cavalry nor squirming light cavalry were affordable to him now.

It's not something you can get trained in just four months.

It will take at least three years to train a qualified cavalry.

However, the emperor's review is likely to arrive in four months.

He must hand over an answer that satisfies him.

"It's time to test my ability to do ptt!" Zhang Yue chuckled in his heart, and had already made a decision.

First set up the military airs and recruit qualified soldiers.

Then……

Let’s train them to the guard of honor for future generations first.

Anyway, I just show it to the emperor, it's just a mighty, beautiful and fresh enough.

Zhang Yue was also open-minded. He imagined himself as an entrepreneur and regarded the emperor as the boss of venture capital.

Thinking of this, this matter is not very difficult.

………………………………………

More than 400 Wugang vehicles transported thousands of weapons into Xinfeng City.

It took two days just to remove these weapons.

This incident naturally attracted countless people to look at each other and be curious.

The gossip that Xinfeng County transported a large number of military weapons spread throughout Guanzhong.

Subsequently, Xinfeng County wanted to conduct winter training and train militias, and the matter of spreading to most of Guanzhong.
