For the protection of the Mongolian tribes, Guo Dajing did his best, but it was impossible to use all his strength. At worst, he would let the Mongolian tribes move closer to Liaodong, or send out troops within his ability.
The main premise is that it cannot affect the reconstruction and recovery of Liaodong, and it cannot affect the treatment of the soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town. He is not an internationalist, and he does not have that much Virgin Complex.
Moreover, there is still a barrier to the Mongolian tribes that rely on and seek refuge. Guo Dajing's ultimate goal is to annex the Mongolian tribes.
They just get the allies they need, just like the Jianlu and the Mongolian tribes. But Dongjiang Town and the Mongolian tribes cannot deepen their relationship through in-laws. If they can't join in, they will definitely not help each other with all their strength.
However, the annexation of the Mongolian tribes was obviously not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time. Guo Dajing did not want to act too hastily. He would wait until the development of Liaodong reached a certain scale.
"Do you have any good suggestions about the reorganization of the army?" Guo Dajing temporarily put aside his logistical worries and concerns and asked Liu Xingzuo with a smile: "For example, in terms of the composition of the cavalry, what is the appropriate proportion of flying cavalry and lance cavalry?"
Liu Xingzuo didn't think much and said: "To deal with Jianlu, half of the flying cavalry and half of the lance cavalry is good. For other armies, from the perspective of the general, only one third of the flying cavalry is enough."
The training period for flying cavalry is long and the cost is high. For lance cavalry, there are not too high requirements for riding skills. Muskets are a necessary training item for the Dongjiang Army. It can be said that there are as many cavalrymen as there are war horses.
Compared with the Mongolian tribes or the Ming army in the interior, the Jianlu were much weaker in terms of equipment and combat power. But the main enemy that the Dongjiang Army had to face in the past was obviously the Jianlu.
Liu Xingzuo murmured with his jaw, and he used hot weapons to charge on horseback. Facing cold weapons whose performance was constantly improving, he would indeed fall behind, or even be eliminated.
Based on the intensity of the firepower used to attack the Jianlu, I am afraid that a single rocket blast would cause the Mongolian tribes to suffer heavy casualties and scatter in groups.
Guo Dajing or Hanhu Liu Xingzuo haven't thought so far yet, and are still talking about their suggestions, "The cavalry can still be reduced. If we fight inward, less than 20,000 will be enough. Although the border line was long before the liberation of Liaodong, there are still
No weak enemy dares to challenge us."
Generally, when a small battle has not yet begun and the enemies are strong and numerous, maintaining a considerable number of troops is indeed a huge burden.
Thinking of the huge consumption of cavalry, Liu Xingzuo did not think that the imperial court's decision to disarm was a suppression of Dongjiang Town. Dongjiang Town itself was indeed difficult to maintain such a small number of troops.
"Perhaps, 70,000 cavalry is enough." Liu Xingzuo estimated again, "The remaining 10,000 are Marine Corps, enough to sweep through the coastal enemies."
Similarly, for attacking the Mongols, you only need heavy muskets, and heavy muskets are basically the best.
When Guo Dajing saw that Liu Xingzuo had changed the topic, he also discussed the matter again. Even if reconstruction and recovery were not easy, it would be slower than dispatching troops to various places.
Therefore, there will be a lot of standing troops in southern Liaoning, basically the navy before the expansion, and the garrison to maintain France.
Northern Liaoning and western Liaoning are mainly against the Mongols. There are almost no enemies in eastern Liaoning, and they should be steadily expanding towards Jianzhou. Southern Liaoning is even more so. If there is no navy that dominates the Yellow and Bohai Sea, how can there be no opponents?
"Hiding troops among the people may be a way." Liu Xingzuo was not sure, but for the time being, he thought too much and made things worse in front of him.
"Although the troops need to be reorganized, the weapons and equipment may be the same according to the mission." Liu Xingzuo pointed to the map under the table and said: "Northern Liaoning, western Liaoning, eastern Liaoning and southern Liaoning are not yet there.
, if they are the same."
To reach the pinnacle of power, 70,000 cavalry can only be considered barely sufficient. Then we must recruit surrenders and recruit rebels, so that the guarding space will be occupied, or more cavalry will be occupied.
The Zheng family is considered one, but it is a pity that they have to wait until the navy is strong enough to win. Only then will the door open to expand inward and plunder wealth.
Xiao Ming is indeed too young, but Mo Qinxiao believes that with 70,000 to 70,000 troops, he can sweep across the sky. Even if he can sweep, it will be difficult to secure a stable occupation.
Liu Xingzuo smiled and said: "Having said that, it is still necessary to maintain about 70,000 cavalry. Or, we can strengthen the training of the garrison. I hope we can take over at any time."
In my opinion, in at least one year, the food and grass supplies can be provided to support the Dongjiang Army in occupying the entire Liaodong.
Even so, it is enough. The small enemy Jianlu has gone, and the standing army does not have 70,000 or 80,000 people, which is enough to attack Hu Duntu and frighten the Mongolian tribes.
Liu Xingzuo lowered his head repeatedly without judging this. Jianlu was the kindest and weakest enemy, and I ignored the rest.
While the war was still going on, Dongjiang Town was barely able to be self-sufficient, and its financial situation was as difficult as the imperial court. "The imperial court's reward money will be released in batches. The number of beheadings in the Pingliao Battle is really too few."
." Liu Xingzuo shrugged helplessly and said with a bit of sneer: "It's a pity that I don't have Liao coins. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to explain to the soldiers who fought bravely."
But in a short period of time, the flying cavalry seemed to be considering that factor. Because of cost issues, Liu Xingzuo naturally tended to increase the proportion of lances and cavalry less.
To be honest, the Zheng Group's naval development thinking and strategy are not obsolete and outdated. Although they had the upper hand in the battle with the Western Barbarians on the coast of China, they relied on the advantages of offshore waters and fewer ships.
The key is the gains from war. Liu Xingzuo wanted to support war with war, but to achieve that goal, he did not have a suitable enemy.
You know, Liu Xingzuo still needs to build ships and add artillery, and is making little efforts to develop the navy. This requires a small amount of funds. With my own efforts, I am afraid it will take a long time.
The difference in equipment is mainly in armor. Jianlu are far weaker than the Mongolian tribes. This is especially true in terms of fighting will.
Guo Dajing rolled his eyes and expressed his contempt for the imperial court's behavior, "The territory is thousands of miles away and the people are billions of people, but even we are like this."
For example, if we maintain the status quo for the time being and occupy places like Guangning and Jinzhou a year or two later, the impact will not be too small.
Even so, the Zheng Group still suffered heavy losses in the naval battle with the Dutch.
The Mongols were like this, and so was the Ming army in Guannei, including the Zheng group's military force, which Liu Xingzuo also looked down upon.
Moreover, regardless of whether it is Spain or the Netherlands, their naval power in Asia is only equivalent to the size of a squadron.
"The rockets equipped with cavalry solved the problem of heavy weapons. In the battle with Azig's troops, the cavalry and rockets played an important role." Guo Dajing continued: "Obviously, against the Mongolian tribes, guns and artillery were the most effective.
