Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 511 Restructuring, Eight Legions

Cao Cao stroked his beard with one hand, "So, I will summarize it for you."

"The Navy has 30 troops, [-] of whom are stationed on a permanent basis to escort merchant ships and sweep away pirates."

"20 main fleet."

"So, their expenses are very high."

"Just maintaining the ship, replenishing gunpowder every once in a while, training recruits, retiring veterans, and paying compensation for those who died in battle are all a lot of expenses."

Liu Feng laughed immediately, "Does father-in-law know how much money the Maritime Silk Road brought last year?"

"Ok?"

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, "I would like to hear more about it."

"On our Maritime Silk Road, the best-selling product is silk, followed by tea and snowflake salt."

"And then there are the newly developed porcelains, as well as the jade jewelry mined from the Diancheng jade mine where my father-in-law once stayed."

"Last year, the countries in Southeast Asia and the countries to the west of Tiannan all traded with the great Han under the efforts of Zheng He, and their annual income was 400 million taels of silver."

"There are 400 million taels of silver before we reach the continent of Europa. How can these small barbarian countries be so rich?" Cao Cao was shocked.

If I knew that the sea can make money so much, if I knew that there are mountains of gold and silver in the poor and remote areas like Yingzhou, Cao Mengde would have sent his generals to get it sooner rather than later. Waiting for you, Liu Feng, to take advantage of it?

Go dream.

"It's not that they are rich, but that the mines on their island, which they don't know about, have been taken over by our troops."

"For example, some Yi countries in the south have gold mines, copper mines, and iron mines on their islands. I promise to give them as much grain, silk, and salt in exchange every year."

"Those are unexplored lands."

"Those barbarians, I have to send someone to teach them."

"Now under the rule of the Han Dynasty, it has been three years of imperial examinations. There are not many candidates, only more than 3000 people. Among them, those who are more than 300 years old and have no confidence to be admitted to Jinshi are all arranged by me to go to Tiannan and Haidao to educate barbarians. people."

"Everyone can go to a remote county to serve as a county lieutenant. After they return, you may want to promote them."

"It's just adding poverty alleviation to your resume."

"If you want to climb up, you have to look at your own skills."

Liu Feng narrowed his eyes, "In the future, the pensions for those killed in battle and injured and retired will also be higher."

"In the future, we have to join the army actively, so that I can feel at ease."

"What about the pawns?"

Cao Cao pointed to the north, "Looking at the world, you can have at most one or two hundred soldiers in a county. The security of a city usually depends on the yamen servants."

"There are 2000 people left behind in one county."

"There are more than 1 people in one state."

"With such a great Han and twenty states, there will be a standing force of 20."

"But if there is a big rebellion, more than [-] soldiers and horses in a county may not be enough."

Liu Feng took out a map and unfolded it on the long table in front of him.

"That's why I plan to set up the eight standing armies."

"Roman legions, centurions of 60 to 80 men."

"A detachment has two centuries."

"Three detachments form a brigade."

"Ten brigades are a legion."

Cao Cao estimated, "Then each Roman legion has only more than 6000 people."

"In wartime, increase the auxiliary army, and the number can reach 1 to [-]."

"The standing legion of the Roman Empire is only thirty. If the country is in danger of extinction, it should be able to quickly form so many more, which is equivalent to the recruits we recruited during the war."

"Then how many people do you prepare for a legion?"

"5000 cavalry, 5 infantry, under the command of swordsmen, spearmen, and short spearmen, [-] archers, [-] musketeers, [-] baggage battalions, and [-] auxiliary soldiers. They are responsible for transporting food and grass on weekdays. In their free time, they farm and grow food for the army, but when there is an emergency, they can quickly go into battle and act as the main soldiers. An army has a total of [-] people."

"Three million people."

"Echelon configuration, long-distance attack mainly consists of archers and musketeers, melee combat has pikemen and spearmen, and cavalry protects the flanks, and cavalry can also be sent to chase and kill."

"This 5-strong cavalry army is certainly good, but can you deal with the Roman army?"

"After the Sisi expedition, I will equip the desert army with chariot soldiers and a large number of sentries."

"What is the scariest thing about the desert?"

"quicksand."

"There are also sandstorms."

"The last thing is high temperature and water shortage."

"With the paving of the road, the army will advance slowly, and there will be no difficulty in drinking water."

"As for the Tiannan Army, I will send secret guards and instructors from the military academy to teach them how to fight in the jungle and in the mountains."

"The 5 people in the army added by Tiannan must all adapt to living in the jungle."

"What about the candidate?"

"You can mobilize 40 elite soldiers from all parts of the Han Dynasty. It is not difficult to form a legion, but what about the commander of your legion?"

"Admiral of the Five Tigers?"

"There are still three people left."

"Simple, Xu Huang and Zhang Liao can occupy two candidates."

"The remaining one will be handed over to Lu Xun. With his achievements in Liaodong, no one can raise any objections."

Cao Cao pointed to the place where the Eighth Legion will be stationed in the future.

"He Beiye City is guarded by Guan Yu."

"Langya County in Qingzhou is guarded by Huang Zhong."

"Chang'an in Guanzhong is guarded by Zhao Yun."

"Chengdu in the middle of Shu is guarded by Zhang Liao."

"Yangzhou Jianye is guarded by Xu Huang."

"Tiannan Mengzhou is guarded by Zhang Fei."

"Dunhuang in Liangzhou is guarded by Zhao Yun."

"Jiangling in Jingzhou is guarded by Lu Xun."

Cao Cao tapped the long case with one hand, "I thought you would set up a town guard mansion in Liaodong, or in Jiangling or Bingzhou. Even Xuchang should have one."

"In this way, what is the difference from the previous Dahan Thirteen States?"

Liu Feng said with a smile.

"Are you going to let them live forever?"

"After the war, if they are still alive, they will guard for five years first, and then rotate the station. Only the generals will be rotated, and the soldiers will not be transferred."

"In addition, under the new recruiting system, anyone who has not learned Chinese characters within three years and becomes a fierce soldier in a hundred battles will be reduced to a reserve soldier."

"Tuntian soldiers in the reserve service, after ten years of service, retire."

"Will you still fight with a large army of cavalry when fighting in the desert?"

"No way, father-in-law."

"The first target of our Western Expedition is the three major tribes of Jiankun, Yilie, and Northern Huns. These tribes are all nomads. They don't need cavalry to fight against them. Could it be that they are chasing them all over the world with infantry?"

"What happened to Hiraoka, I haven't seen Zhao Yun yet, you ordered him to leave the fortress again."

Liu Feng pointed to the Kunjian tribe in the northwest.

"There is a letter from my father-in-law, and Zhang Xiong, Le Chen and others will come and surrender without paying attention."

"I will ignore the Ding Ling tribe."

"The time I gave Zhao Yun is before September, to launch a genocide war against the Kunjian tribe!"
