Hegemony of all Dynasties: Get the Zhao Yun template at the beginning

Chapter 279
Without the harassment of bandits from Wubao cottages everywhere, the more than a dozen counties in the two prefectures can really embark on the road of rapid development.

Wang Guangyang put down the battle report and became more confident in governing this territory.

At this time, among the four prefectures east of the canal, the two prefectures he governed were on the right track, and the two prefectures of Qinghe and Shanyang were much slower than him.

In particular, the prefect of Shanyang is close to the front line. Generals such as Yang Kan, Liu Wei, and Wang Maozhang are constantly fighting against the Sui army and other small forces around them. It is difficult to establish a stable ruling foundation.

Tian Liangyun, the prefect of Shanyang, had to turn the county under his rule into a military town first, and transport the nearby people to Qingjiang Mansion on the north bank of Huaihe River for resettlement.

In order to support the two prefectures of Qingjiang and Sanyang, Sihong used large ships to transport grain, grass and equipment to Qingjiang every day.

"When Qingjiang, Shanyang and Sanyang stabilize, we can continue to expand south!"

When Wang Guangyang saw the situation of the other two mansions, he thought to himself.

At this time, the four prefectures on the east side of the canal have settled down, and they can already implement the latter eight characters of his sixteen-character strategy.

In fact, it was just as Wang Guangyang thought.

When Shen Yi and Bu Zhi continued to deal with government affairs and stabilize the internal affairs, Qin Yanhui, who was promoted to general, took the place of Li Kaifang in Suining, and Li Kaifang, who was canonized as General Jianwei, returned to the center.

Began to be responsible for the recruitment, reorganization and training of soldiers.

……

On the outskirts of Sihong, the military academy field.

Rows and rows of soldiers wore red military uniforms, holding spears, and under the officer's stern shout, they kept shouting and stabbing the spears in their hands.

kill!kill!kill!

Accompanied by the screams of killing, the spears in their hands stabbed out at the fastest speed, then retracted quickly, and stab again!
These recruits only need to train a front thrust.

The training of soldiers in the army is mainly concise and practical. They need to master the basic usage of weapons such as spears, swords and shields as quickly as possible.

As for the full set of basic marksmanship and basic knife skills, they need to wait until they have mastered the flag military orders, formation changes, etc., and become qualified recruits before they can be taught in the next step.

have to say.

The new recruits recruited by the Huai army cannot compare with the begging army and Murong cavalry that Wang Jinggang encountered when he arrived.

The soldiers who came in the first wave all mastered the basic skills of swords and guns. Except for the lack of military training methods, they can fight and kill when they go into battle. .

"The quality of recruits recruited this time is not as good as before!"

On the high platform, Li Kaifang, who was in charge of training troops, shook her head slightly when she saw the troops training continuously below.

sometimes.

The more brutal the environment, the higher the quality of the soldiers recruited.

After Sihong fell into the hands of Wang Jing, it has been safe for a year or two, and the cruelty of the former Qin army's occupation has long been washed away.

The young and strong people who made their homes nearby are also used to living in peace.

The young and strong in this environment are somewhat inferior in terms of fighting spirit and bravery compared to those who often fight in chaotic places.

However, Li Kaifang did not take this issue seriously.

No matter at what time, the army is a big melting pot. Whoever enters the army will undergo great changes after continuous training and tempering.

The fighting spirit is not high, and it can be corrected by rolling twice on the battlefield.

"Sihong recruited another 30 new recruits... There are also recruits from other prefectures, as well as soldiers reorganized from the troops of Hou Jing, Yang Xingmi, and Pang Shigu. The total is [-]!"

30 plus the previous 20 soldiers, is a full 50 standing army.

When Li Kaifang thought of this number, his heart was a little shaken.

This is a standing soldier, not counting the Guards Army and the local security militia.

In the heyday of the dynasty in history, the number of soldiers maintained was no more than this number. After calculations these days, there were almost 430 million people in the seven prefectures of the Huai Army.

With more than 430 million people, maintaining 50 soldiers...comparable to the ratio of Qin's more than 500 million people but 60 troops.

Militarism is the best way to describe it.

That is to say, the Huai army is rich in food and grass, which can support such a huge army.

Li Kaifang also knew the reason why the king wanted to expand his army.

The next goal of the Huai army is to expand southward. The main enemy in the south is Yang Guang who has occupied Yangzhou and Gaoyou. Yang Guang has more than 1000 million people and an army of 60 to [-].

If you want to defeat it, you can't do without a strong army.

Moreover, if Yang Guang is defeated, Zhang Shicheng, Yu Wenhuaji, and the Beifu Army will become the enemies that the Huai Army will face immediately.

If the Huai army had only 30 or 40 troops, they would definitely be at a disadvantage when they faced off against the princes of the three parties at the same time when they were already blunt in defeating Yang Guang.

The best way to avoid this situation.

That is, the Huai army expanded enough soldiers before going south.

Military expansion.

The expansion of the army has expanded the soldiers to 50 at once, and preparing for war means preparing various materials, such as weapons, armor, crossbows, military uniforms, military boots, medicinal materials...

When Li Kaifang was training soldiers.

Various officials of the Ministry of War are also busy preparing supplies.

The construction department was directly split, and the artisan labor responsible for building roads was transferred to the road administration department.

The craftsmen responsible for building the city walls and palaces were divided into city construction divisions.In addition, the department that was originally in charge of making military uniforms and boots was directly divested, and those aristocratic families and businessmen in Sihong set up a textile shop to undertake...

A chain reaction of military expansion.

Several central departments of the Ministry of Government Affairs and the Privy Council have changed.

However, the newly established Department of Road Administration and Department of Urban Construction did not become one of the thirteen departments directly under the central government, but went under the name of the Ministry of Industry.

The rest of the craftsmen of the construction department are divided into five branches: the Weapons Academy, the Armor Academy, the Cloud Car Academy, the Bow and Crossbow Academy, and the Equipment Academy.

The adjusted departments each specialize in one item.

A large number of craftsmen were recruited again, and a steady stream of weapons and armors were produced.

Zhao Jianguo, who was originally the head of the construction department, was promoted to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry and also the head of the construction department. His task was no longer to build cities and palaces.

He became the supervisor of the supervision and the engineer responsible for the research and development, such as the improvement of the cloud car.The adjustment of the god arm bow...

In his hands, the cloud car made with spirit stones as energy has been continuously improved, and the utilization rate of the spirit energy has continued to rise. The spirit stones that could only last for one month and would run out of spirit energy can now last for more than two months.

He is even studying how to use Lingshi to create a chariot that can run rampant on the battlefield without the need for horses.

The entire Huai army went up and down.

The officials from the top to the center, the soldiers and common people from the bottom to the bottom, are all busy in full swing.

Every day makes a big difference.

These changes were seen by the spies sent by several princes.

Although they couldn't see the training of recruits in the army, they knew through various channels the number of the Huai army's expansion and the constant changes in the civilian population.
