Chapter 112: A meeting has been held, and there are a lot of questions (3) Military Chapter
Zhu Han talked a lot in a long way, which made Dian Wei and others confused. However, for Zhang, Xi Zhicai, Zhang Liao and other people who love to use their brains, his words were still deeply inspiring, especially
Mrs. Zhang, she is now like a loyal believer, looking at Zhu Han with not only awe, but also admiration in her eyes.
Even Xi Zhicai was so shocked by Zhu Han's concept that he was speechless. He secretly thought that if Zhu Han's marketing method was followed, the business of Chenxiang Pavilion would definitely increase several times.
"Do you understand?"
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was still confused, Zhu Han asked softly.
"ah?"
Only then did Mrs. Zhang come back to her senses, and immediately blushed and whispered back: "I'm almost... I understand a little bit, no... but there are still... some places that I haven't... haven't done yet.
..figure it out!”
"It doesn't matter, everything has to have a process. Next, I will write a book by myself and write down all my ideas. Then you can take it and study it. If you don't understand something, just come and ask me!"
Zhu Han waved his hand to signal Zhang to calm down, then turned to look at Zhang Liao and said, "Okay, let's stop talking about business matters for now. We will discuss the detailed plan after Sister Zhang comes up with a plan.
Tan, Wenyuan, tell us what you are doing!"
"promise!"
Zhang Liao quickly stood up and replied: "Currently, the county soldiers in the county are temporarily organized into a song, with a total of three hundred people, and their subordinates are commanders; the remaining fifty people are a group, with a total of six captains; ten people are a Shi, a total of thirty
The name is very long; there are five people in a corps, and there are sixty corps commanders in total."
"As for weapons and equipment, we currently only have one hundred spears; one hundred and fifty ring-headed knives; two hundred and eighteen sets of iron armor, two hundred of which were captured during the encirclement and suppression on Taishan; and fifty-six stone longbows.
Zhang, more than 1,100 bows and arrows; 13 military crossbows, 130 crossbow arrows; 123 shields; 300 daggers; 163 sets of military uniforms (sheathed in armor)
)."
"It's been more than half a year, how did you accumulate so much supplies?"
Zhu Han turned to look at Pei Yuanshao and asked with some warmth and anger.
"Sir! It's not that we don't work hard enough, it's that all the blacksmiths in Jing County have been recruited by the Li family. It's better over there in Nian. They will more or less give priority to building our armaments, but people here in Nian just don't do it.
After doing our business, my subordinates persuaded Li Hu to nod and agree to make more for us. Besides, this spear only needs the tip, so it is not difficult to make, but the iron armor and the crossbow will take a lot of effort.
It takes a month to produce a military crossbow, and even more months to produce a set of iron armor."
Pei Yuanshao felt a little aggrieved. He was also a clever woman who couldn't make a meal without rice. Even if he had all kinds of ideas, he couldn't put a knife on Li Hu's neck and let others build weapons for him, right?
Moreover, the Taiping Sect has made some big moves this year, and Zhu Han can also predict what will happen in Li Hu's blacksmith shop. After thinking about it, Zhu Han feels that it is time for him to go to Julu, at least to explore.
His quasi-father-in-law tone of voice.
"In your opinion, how long will it take for our three hundred county soldiers to be fully equipped?"
Zhu Han asked with a frown.
"This? It will take at least two years, or because we captured 200 sets of armor. Otherwise, it would have taken two or three years to just rely on the people at the Shen Weapon Shop to build these 300 sets of armor."
Pei Yuanshao replied truthfully.
"Yuan Shao, why do you say this in such a way that the preface and the follower are completely inconsistent with what you said?"
Zhu Han's brows jumped when he heard this. He thought that as long as there were enough craftsmen and enough money, he could have as many weapons and equipment as he wanted. But now it seems that things are not developing in the direction Zhu Han expected. The Taiping Sect's
The movements are getting faster and more frequent. Zhu Han is counting the days every day, fearing that one day he will wake up and be told that his father-in-law has revolted. In troubled times, he must have soldiers and horses in his hands. The only way
If your fist is hard enough, others will listen to your words and follow your actions. This is the perfect answer that countless ancestors have paid for with their blood. Zhu Han does not need to verify his authenticity at all, just follow it, unless it is you.
If you don't want to cause trouble, you can go with the flow. Wherever the flow goes, you can follow it. Just be careful not to be photographed on the river bank. But Zhu Han is a restless person, and he finally passed through the late Han Dynasty.
, he is not just here to travel.
"Just tell me what is the reason why the progress of building armaments is so slow? Is it a lack of people or a lack of materials? Or is it a lack of something else?"
Zhu Han was so upset by what Pei Yuanshao said that he simply cut the knot with a quick knife and asked Pei Yuanshao to explain the root cause.
"What
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
We’re all lacking! The most important thing is the lack of materials!”
Pei Yuanshao did not dare to neglect, and quickly replied: "There is no iron ore in Jing County, and the materials are all shipped in from outside. In addition, the only blacksmith shop in the county is Li Hu's Shen Weapon Shop, and the yamen does not have its own forging workshop. They
Only about half of the people can be spared to build our customized armaments, so the progress is so slow!"
"As for people, Zhen Yan will send them to us next. There must be many blacksmiths among them, but I wonder if you can get this material?"
The iron smelting technology of the Han Dynasty was quite developed, and the court also attached great importance to the making of iron tools, so there were many people who made a living by blacksmithing. Although iron salt was open to local governments, it was the government and local wealthy families who controlled these two lifelines. Ordinary people
Even if he wanted to make a living from this, he couldn't get involved, so Zhu Han had to turn his attention to Ma Chuang, the only one in the field who came from a wealthy family.
"Reporting to your lord, the Ma family still has hundreds of kilograms of iron and more than ten kilograms of forged steel. If you need it, I can persuade the elders in the family to give them all to you!"
Seeing Zhu Han looking at him, Ma Chuang quickly stood up and replied.
"There is no need to give it away. I will buy it according to the market price. After the meeting, Zhicai followed Ma Chuang to Ma's house. After buying all the iron in Ma Chuang's inventory, he went to Wanmuzhai and Li's house.
, see if we can recover some more iron.”
After Zhu Han heard Ma Chuang's words, he felt relieved. With the support of the Ma family, his dream of an armored army could be realized in a short time.
"Yuan Shao, with these hundreds of kilograms of iron, how long can you guarantee to get all the armaments of 300 people?"
Zhu Han looked at Pei Yuanshao and asked urgently.
This is the top priority right now, and nothing else is as urgent as this.
"As long as the Zhen family's craftsmen arrive, and there are more than a hundred of them, I can guarantee that they will all be completed within half a year."
Pei Yuanshao stayed in the Shen Weapon Shop for a while, and he also had an idea of the blacksmith's crafting speed. After thinking about it silently, he replied.
"Okay! Then I will give you half a year. If you can complete the task, you will be rewarded heavily!"
After Zhu Han heard this, he was in a good mood and said with a smile.
"Thank you, sir!"
Pei Yuanshao quickly sat down after thanking him. When he communicated with Zhu Han just now, he felt extremely stressed, and Zhu Han's smiling look made him always feel that he was seeking skin from a tiger. Even after hearing Zhu Han's promise, he
Not in a good mood.
"Wenyuan, is it too cumbersome to divide the army's establishment in this way? Can it be simplified?"
As soon as he heard that five people were required to set up corps commanders, Zhu Han immediately became aware that one was the leader and the other two were senior. Being familiar with the establishment of modern armies, he felt that the establishment of the Han Dynasty was too backward, but the era of hot weapons and cold weapons
The armies of the era were too different to be lumped together, let alone compared with each other, but if he had questions in his mind, he naturally had to raise them.
"My lord, what do you mean by this? Liao, you don't quite understand?"
Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment and replied in a low voice.
"Look, in a team of 300 people, there are six station commanders, thirty commanders, and sixty corps commanders. Will so many officers cause inconvenience in command and make the general's orders blocked? In my opinion, the corps commander
Isn’t this position a bit useless? Of course, you are the masters in this aspect, I’m just expressing my doubts!”
Zhu Han said modestly.
"I see, sir, you don't know something. When we go to the battlefield, we pay attention to coordination and battle formations. The formation of a team of five people consists of two shield soldiers, two spearmen, and a crossbowman. It is difficult to cooperate with each other.
More or less, just right. After breaking it into parts, it is easier to fight alone. If the minimum establishment is ten people, it is not impossible, but it will expand the local battlefield. It is like paving the road. We cannot always use big rocks. Period
Small stones have to be used to jam the seams, and the organization of our army has always been five people as the smallest fighting group, and then there are ten people in a ten, fifty people in a camp, and five hundred people in a tune.
, it can engage in both large-scale and small-scale battles, so that the overall formation can become more compact and prevent it from being overwhelmed by the enemy at once."
Zhang Liao learned these ideas from military books. Moreover, this military system has been used for hundreds of years and was summarized by the ancestors from countless battles. Naturally, it has merits.
"That's it! I have a suggestion. A small team of ten people should be set up as a squad leader; a squadron of fifty people should be set up as a squadron leader; a group of one hundred people should be set up as a large team leader; and a battalion of one thousand people should be set up as a battalion.
Long. Do you feel
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
How's it going?"
Zhu Han looked at Zhang Liao expectantly. He felt that it would be easier to divide the hierarchical system in the army. As the saying goes, there is no circle without rules. Only after the hierarchical system is planned out can the next stage of military training be implemented.
"What about the scale of more than a thousand people?"
Zhang Liao asked with a frown.
"Those things are too far away from us. Let's talk about the future matters later! Come and help us analyze together. Will this organization affect the performance of the soldiers on the battlefield?"
Zhu Han asked after scanning the crowd present.
"There are not many county soldiers in our county. If we follow your military system, it will not be impossible. However, I am a little worried, and please think twice before doing so!"
Everyone else thought it was okay. Anyway, the number of people they brought would not be reduced. As for the boss, whether he wanted ten people to be in a group or fifty people to be in a group, it didn’t matter. Yan Liang had an indifferent expression, but Zhang Liao didn’t.
With a heavy expression on his face, he seemed to be considering the pros and cons. When Xi Zhicai saw that neither of the two military leaders spoke first, he immediately put forward his own different opinions.
"What are you worried about? Zhicai makes it clear!"
Zhu Han was stunned when he heard this and asked.
"We have changed the military establishment without authorization. Should we report it to the Lieutenant of Anping State? This matter seems simple, but in fact it is dangerous! At best, this is just a small system change in the army. At worst, it is just a small system change in the army.
It is said that you are trying to change the system of the imperial court. Who in the world can change the system of the army? Even the Taiwei has to report to the emperor of tomorrow and only dare to change after getting permission? In my opinion,
It’s better to follow the original military system!”
Xi Zhicai's light words were like thunder exploding in Zhu Han's ears, making him shiver uncontrollably.
"Yes! Zhicai is right to remind you!"
Only then did Zhu Han realize that the world was not in chaos yet. Now the old Liu family had the final say in the army. His changes were a bit of a self-inflicted one, and he had no authority.
"Furthermore, many tactics in the Art of War are designed around the five-man system. If you change the military system rashly, not only will you be charged with unwarranted charges, but the combat effectiveness of your troops will also be affected.
I can lift it up!"
Zhang Liao originally wanted to persuade Zhu Han, but he didn't know how to speak. Now that he heard Xi Zhicai speak out first, he quickly followed up and persuaded: "If the military system is to be reformed, not only the fighting methods will have to change, but also the battles will also change."
The formation also has to evolve, and it takes so much time that the gain outweighs the loss!"
"Okay then! Since you have said so, we will not change it and continue to use the previous military system!"
Zhu Han wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He just made some suggestions. Since there were so many disadvantages, there was no need for him to change them. He could just follow the rules step by step. Anyway, Zhang Liao was in charge of the army.
It won't be any worse.
"Mr. Ji, let me know how your cavalry team is doing!"
Zhu Han quickly brought the topic to the cavalry, and saw him turning his eyes to Yan Liang and asking.
"We currently have thirty-eight horses and thirty-eight cavalry, including thirty-eight spears, two sets of iron armor, thirty-six sets of leather armor, sixteen crossbows, three hundred arrows, and rings.
Thirty-eight first swords and thirty-eight short blades."
Yan Liang's old face suddenly turned red as he spoke. After the battle at the foot of Taishan Mountain, the cavalry under his command not only lost soldiers, but also several horses. However, in terms of equipment, the equipment of the cavalry is definitely Zhu Han's.
The most well-equipped team under his command.
"Well, that's enough! With our current strength, it's not easy to increase the number of cavalry!"
After Zhu Han and Xi Zhicai exchanged opinions, they nodded and concluded: "For now, our military strength in Jingxian County is relatively weak, but I don't blame you. As a result, our army's recruitment time is still short and training
Insufficient, and the army is mostly composed of new recruits, which affects the combat effectiveness; secondly, our yamen is too poor, and the armaments are far unable to keep up with the needs of the army. Even the building of armaments has to be borrowed from others.
On this point, I have indeed failed in my duty, but I assure you that regardless of whether the Zhen family's craftsmen are in place or not, within this year, even if I go to rob, I will give you all your armaments.
It’s all together.”
"And you only need to train my troops well. As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it only takes a while to use it. Don't go to the battlefield and have diarrhea. If so, I know how to engage in military law!"
At the end of the sentence, Zhu Han looked at Zhang Liao, Yan Liang, Ma Chuang and Guan Hai and said in a deep voice.
