Later generations of hot weapons and weapons were usually the three-three system. Cai Yan secretly speculated that it was a military system based on three-section shooting, that is, the three rows were an attack sequence, that is, a company.

Before the flintlock rifle, semi-automatic (automatic rifle) or machine gun appeared, only one attack sequence was extremely weak, and at least more attack sequences were needed to be sufficient to be strong on the front line, so there was a situation where a battalion had six to nine companies under its jurisdiction.

Before solving the problem of gunpowder and rate of fire, the mezzanine is not even more efficient and all-weather combat as archers. Even if these problems are solved, other troops are still needed to cooperate in combat. If you just block your ears and cover your eyes and ignore the upcoming changes in the hometown of Song and Liao, Cai Yan doesn’t need to consider the matters of the infantry, just focus on integrating his own people.

Cai Yan once thought about these things seriously. He occupied the big island under his feet alone. It is better to live his own little life than anything else. He can be righteous in his mouth, but he is hard to give up in his heart...

If we decide to send troops to intervene, we need to establish an interfering regiment, a interference regiment composed of two infantry divisions, a light cavalry division, a spear brigade, an artillery brigade and a baggage division.

After counting inside and outside, Cai Yan needed 30,000 soldiers to form a corps. How much does 30,000 people need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate? How much does military pay? How much does muskets, artillery, guns, arrows, and clothing and armor? It takes tens of thousands of miles away to transport only one material. The most important thing is that Cai Yan could not determine the specific time of the fall of the Liao Kingdom, nor how many years could he support after intervening in the Song, Liao and Jin War?

Many things are unsure, but I know that among the Song, Liao and Jin Kingdoms, I was at most annoying fleas. If I wanted to swallow an elephant with a snake, I had to have a big belly. But his words "Millions of thousands of times" still scared Su Mei, Lunong, Zhao Fujin, Yu Liyan, even the carefree Lu Tao became a little fool.

Cai Yan didn't care much about their concerns. There were countless fields in Mayi State or Zhennan Island, and there was almost no commercial activity here. No matter how many grains were produced or how much cloth was produced, it would only rot in the warehouse. Even if Suhe Money Bank issued a large amount of paper money, no matter how many notes the people got, it would not affect their lives. It was far from the local people of Song State. If the people of Song State had no money and food, they would have no hope of living except waiting to die. Besides, they would not have to pay back the money.

In the eyes of others, precious metals of gold, silver and copper are treasures, but in his opinion, they are not the case? There are countless gold, silver and copper waiting for him to dig in the American continent? So what if you owe tens of millions of coins?

"The countless supplies do not need to be purchased with real gold and silver. The troops formed are all Han people in the Liao Dynasty? In addition to paying 30,000 ounces of military pay to the 300,000 soldiers who need to fight in the Liao Dynasty every year, the rest can all be replaced by national debts. Anyway, the fields we have here can still be hungry and frozen? The things we planted, the food we weaving, the cloth we weaving? All the items we made were sold to our family? Instead, we can make some money, so why not do it?"

"Don't worry, if the people really don't want to, the child will catch the savages who don't need money to farm? But the child is more willing to earn our people's money? As for where our money comes from... there will always be a way for them."

Cai Yan explained a little, and was unwilling to continue talking about these topics. As for when the Ming Dynasty was officially established, the court was in chaos, including the harem and other things. It was all up to Yang and Su Mei, the two queen mothers behind the curtain, to do whatever they wanted. They hid in the brand new study to get a training outline for the new army.

Nearly a hundred old men quarreled for several days, and sometimes they could quarrel with the thatched hut of the "Yu Study Room"? Even so, he just said "Yeah, oh" a few times? He was determined not to interfere in anything in the court? There were only a few people? I don't know how they were quarreling.

After being quarreled, Cai Yan took the Guards who had been resting for several days to pull artillery and installed artillery for the Su, A and B ships.

The two ships Su and A and B were gunboats, but they installed the Eight Niu Crossbow because they did not have artillery. They removed the Eight Niu Crossbow to make room for the artillery and put the artillery on the artillery stand. It was not a very troublesome thing. He didn't need to board the ship to install it. He was really hurt by the annoyance, so he ran to the ship to ask for peace.

The artillery used by the Army is similar to the naval gun, the only difference is the artillery frame. The artillery frame used by the Army is a two-wheeled carriage. In order to avoid the recoil of the artillery, it has a "herringbone" base of different lengths according to the power of the artillery. The elevation angle of the artillery is adjusted through the gears above. If it is transferred and marched, it is necessary to merge the other "half" of the two-wheeled carriage with it to form a four-wheeled carriage. When the carriage becomes larger, it can not only transfer the artillery at any time, but also drag the corresponding shells, gunpowder and other corresponding items of the artillery.

The gun mount on the gunboat does not need to be moved and transferred, nor does it have the "herring-shaped" base of all the artillery artillery in the army to mount on the ground. Instead, it is like a rectangular wooden cabinet. In order to avoid the recoil of the artillery, ropes need to be used for traction and resetting. Because this operation also produces the "small cannon cannon" when firing in later generations, the real gun barrel will shrink into the external "cannon barrel", because there are powerful springs or hydraulic devices that replace ropes in the "cannon barrel".

At the same time, the personnel used for army artillery are also more than those used on gunboats. A military artillery requires seven people, while the number of gunboats is reduced to three to four people, unless it is a real heavy artillery.

Cai Yan personally cast in the workshop for two or three months. After leaving the customs, the workshop still did not stop casting. Although he failed to equip the two gunboats with complete cannons, he still reached 156 artillery pieces.

It sounds like 156 cannons is scary, but if you know that 100 of them are "large fire guns" below one pound, you will know that 156 cannons are just scary things and cannot reach the level of a real first-class sail battleship.

The Song Dynasty had advanced shipbuilding technology, but the real outbreak period was after the court retreated to Jiangnan. It was to reduce the customs tariff rate from 30% to 20%. After 10%, it was because the entire Jiangbei tax was lost and the tax was forced to face the ocean. In this era, under high prices and taxes, it was difficult for the Song Dynasty ships to cross the west of the Malacca Strait, and therefore there was no experience in building a real ocean-wide ship.

The two Su-class battleships were built under such circumstances and could only be considered two experimental battleships. They had no experience. Even if Cai Huang was bold and luxurious enough, he still did not dare to take big steps when building. The artillery designed was mainly small cannons. Looking at the gun window, it was mostly half a pound of one meter barrel and one pound of small cannon. The largest ship's head and stern cannon on the top floor was only equivalent to eight pounds of seven pound cannons.

The two town-class battleships under construction have only eighty-six guns. The number of guns is considered to be a second-class sail battleship, but the caliber of the gun is much larger. Not only that, the keels of the town-class battleships are also essentially different from the Su-class. They are no longer mortise and tenon splicing technology, but use steel keels, which are stronger and more stable. Through pulley sets and winches, the weird fins on both sides of the Su-class hull are hidden under the water surface, further increasing the stability of fighting wind and waves.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Cai Huang slapped the installed eight-pound cannon. Thinking about the cost of the four big ships, his heart was inexplicably painful. Since he came to this world for no reason, in seven years, in addition to building four big ships, he did nothing, and there were two more ships that would take at least one year to go into the water to test sail. He was both emotional and helpless...
