Chapter 1444 Li Songru and Ye Wang
The Sixteen Cavalry of Yanyun is said to be the Sixteen Cavalry, but this is just a title. Its real organization in the military system of the Great Qin Empire is actually a single army formed by cavalry.
The military system of the Great Qin Empire is still in line with the organization at the beginning of the founding of the country. Ten people are one small flags, five small flags are one general flags, two general flags are one hundred households, ten hundred households are one thousand households, and five thousand households are
The one who is a bathroom.
The Sixteen Cavalry of Yanyun is known as 150,000 troops, but King Quan Yinning expanded his organization for various reasons. The real combat part, that is, the most elite, is essentially the 16 Guards, with one Guards of 5,600.
According to the calculations left and right, the combat force of the sixteen Yanyun cavalry was only more than 90,000.
"The organization of the Sixteen Cavalry of Yanyun was essentially taking advantage of loopholes in the court."
On the way out of the city, Wu Dianshan introduced Li Chen the situation of the Sixteen Cavalry of Yanyun.
"What do you mean?" Li Chen asked.
Wu Dianshan replied: "Yanyun's sixteen cavalry are essentially sixteen guards, and the imperial court stipulates that one guard should not be less than four thousand and no more than six thousand. This redundancy is already very large, once it is lower than the standard.
We must consider abolishing the establishment, and if it is higher than that, we must either abolish it or report it to the Ministry of War for upgrades."
"But for the Sixteen Cavalry of Yanyun, it is obvious that King Ning is unwilling to accept whether it is abolishing the establishment or upgrading, so he thought of a way to take advantage of the loophole."
"Under normal circumstances, the military force of one guard has more than 5,000 troops, covering outposts, logistics supplies, reconnaissance, ordnance storage and other management structures. Just like a crescent gate, the military force of one guard is 5,000, but at least one thousand people are located.
It is a non-combat unit, and this is because of the special status of Crescent Guard, so the organization of combat units is far beyond that of other conventional units."
"If it is an ordinary field army in the mainland, there will be at most 3,500 combat units. If it is in a local garrison, half of them will be considered good."
"King King, however, used various means to fill the entire guard's troops into combat units, while other non-combat units were uniformly divided into outside the organization. In this way, he just made some tricks on the roster.
Half of the elite soldiers were added out of thin air.”
Li Chen said in surprise: "Why have you never heard of such a method before?"
Wu Dianshan said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the current domestic situation is that most generals and officials are corrupt and cowardly. The guards in other places are stationed in the army. It is good if you don't find a way to remove some combat units to use them to earn empty salary. How can you increase it? You must know
The cost of cultivating a combat unit is much more expensive than that of non-combat units. Therefore, only a very small number of ambitious vassal kings in the country have the strength and motivation to do this."
Li Chen was silent when he heard this.
Just listening to Wu Duanshan's words, there is no need to test it at all. Li Chen knew that what Wu Duanshan said was all facts and there was no falsehood.
After silently remembering this matter, Li Chen asked again: "How is the Sixteen Cavalry of Yanyun itself? In terms of combat effectiveness."
Wu Dianshan thought about it and said, "The combat power of Yanyun's sixteen cavalry is more than 90,000 people. As far as the last general knows, there are 20,000 heavy cavalry, 10,000 elite infantry, 5,000 sharpshooters, and the rest
They are all light riders.”
"In addition to King Ning, Yanyun's Sixteen Cavalry was led by two generals, one of whom was named Li Songru, who was good at strategy and had a very elegant strategy. The combat policy of Yanyun's Sixteen Cavalry and the formation of troops were all Li Songru, who was a member of the battle plan of Yanyun's Sixteen Cavalry.
