Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 496 Li Er's Heavenly Punishment Army
After showing the new weapons with the generals, Li Er rearranged the configuration of the army.

The twelve guards of the capital city will draw 2000 people from each guard, and then 5000 people will be drawn from the Forbidden Army, and 1000 people from the Xuanjia Army, forming a 3-strong Heavenly Punishment Army.

The Heavenly Punishment Battalion consisted of 1 people as one guard, and under the one guard was divided into a large brigade of 2000 people and five brigades.

The brigade is divided into a squadron of 500 people and four squadrons.

And 100 people make a team, and ten people make a team.

This rule was suggested by Ding Yi.And Li Er also chose to trust Ding Yi, because Datang had never had such a combat force.

The Heaven's Punishment Army is all equipped with thermal weapons, as well as the air force!
And those guards who were transferred away were replenished from the government army.

Each guard of the Heavenly Punishment Army is equipped with the Tianjiao Team, the Earth Fire Team, the Shenji Team, the Mysterious Machine Team, and the Vertical and Horizontal Team.

In the Heavenly Scourge Brigade, 2000 people are from the Air Force, and there are ten people in a small group, and five people go into battle in rotation.One controls the hot air balloon;

The ground fire brigade is equipped with red cannons, a team, four people are responsible for transporting cannons, two are responsible for transporting ammunition, one is responsible for aiming, one is responsible for firing and firing, and the other two are responsible for coordination.

The Shenji team is a team of two, equipped with flintlock guns, one is responsible for loading ammunition on the back, and the other is responsible for shooting.The attack method of the Shenji team is three rows of continuous fire. The first row squats down to load ammunition after shooting, the second row connects, and then the third row, and the first row reloads the ammunition after the third row finishes shooting.Perfect loop that never stops!

Mysterious Brigade, this team is a bit different, they are trained by the Xuanjia Army, all cavalry, equipped with Zhuge Liannu, and bombs!It can be used for melee combat, long-distance attack, and harass the enemy.

Vertical and horizontal brigade, this brigade is different!They can be said to be the logistics team of the first four brigades, but if someone despises them because of this, they will face the crisis of being wiped out!

The vertical and horizontal brigades are not only equipped with improved steerable carriages, they also have the functions of the previous four brigades.However, transporting ammunition, arrows and bombs is their main task.

The idea was perfect, and Li Er was very happy.

However, the training of these people still needs about half a year, at least they must be familiar with the use of various weapons.

It's also thanks to the fact that these people are all drawn from regular combat troops such as the Twelve Guards and the Xuanjia Army. None of them can be regarded as the brave champions of the three armies, but they can still meet the standard for receiving the training of the Heaven's Punishment Army.

It was with the Heaven's Punishment Army that Li Er was able to hold back his counterattack against Tuyuhun.

Being bullied to the door of the house, if you don't fight back, people will think that Datang is easy to bully.

However, after the establishment of the Heaven's Punishment Army, Cheng Chumo and Li Ke ran back to Chang'an non-stop, and the departments they managed were handed over to the deputy minister.

They want to join the army!
Especially such an army!

The Heavenly Punishment Army chose Qinling for training, and only Li Er and the generals knew about the specific training and weapons used by the Heavenly Punishment Army.

The civil servants only knew that the emperor was going to form a new army, and maybe he would use the weapon that was suspected of destroying the royal family!

The reason why Li Er kept it secret was to keep the enemy country from knowing.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. If the opponent doesn't understand at all, you can catch the opponent completely by surprise.

Ding knew everything about the Heaven's Punishment Army. Before the Heaven's Punishment Army started training, they had already evacuated the Tiandilou personnel who were training in the Qinling Mountains to find a new training location.

The development of Datang in the past two years has also been fully seen by the neighboring countries, and they have also started to act.

These two things, corn and potatoes, have been spread for a long time, and they cannot be avoided at all!

Because Datang simply does not have that much energy and manpower to prevent the spread of corn and potatoes.

But for things like rotary tillers and harvesters, people in neighboring countries can't get rid of them, and they can't understand them!
Even the craftsmen of the Datang Ministry of Industry failed to fully understand that all the machinery used by the Datang court was imported from Junfeng Machinery.

Some people in the court also suggested that Ding Yi should publish the blueprints and production techniques of these things.As the name suggests, this is to promote the rapid development of Datang.

however……

Ding Yi didn't like them at all!
Li Er also told Ding Yi about this matter, but Ding Yi told Li Er: If you do this, it is very likely that the skills will be spread to neighboring countries. Wouldn't it be an enemy?Moreover, the introduction by the imperial court from Junfeng Machinery is no different from building it yourself.The price provided by Junfeng Machinery to the court is only the cost price plus labor costs, and the profit is only a little bit.If the court does it by itself, the price can only be reduced to this point, which is completely unnecessary.

After analyzing the cause and effect, Li Er never mentioned this matter again.

Although there are many people in the court who are dissatisfied with Ding Yi, and he will be impeached every ten days or so.

But most people take this as a joke, because impeachment is useless.Li Er ignored it, and he didn't care about those who were impeached.

In addition, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the national tax revenue in the five years of Zhenguan is more than [-]% higher than that in the fourth year of Zhenguan!

Twenty percent of the national tax!

This is not a state county tax!

Although the old man Dai Zhou was stern and selfless, he also said good things for Ding Yi this time.

Because he had to obey!
The reason why the tax in the fifth year of Zhenguan is higher than in previous years is because of Ding Yi!

The tax revenue of the five years of Zhenguan was mainly concentrated in Guannei Road, and the tax revenue of Guannei Road increased by more than [-]% last year!

The reason is inseparable from the guidance of Junfeng Group!
You can say that the Junfeng Group has made money, but they have indeed driven the economic and agricultural development of Guannei Road.

And it's justified!

The living standards of the people in Jingzhao Mansion alone have improved a lot, not to mention meat and vegetables for meals, but they can always eat several times a month!

Now in Guannei Road, beggars are rarely seen, because refugees and beggars have all gone to work in the new city.Or go to build roads. Although they don't have a home, they still get paid every day to build roads!
This is still secondary. The new city has attracted a large number of women to work, and it also recruits women workers from the entire Guannei Road.

This completely drives the labor force and productivity!

There are also machinery such as rotary waterwheels and rotary tillers for field work, which can completely free up a lot of labor.

This gives people more time to go out to work and make money.

The common people went to work, which not only increased productivity, but also had more money to spend, and after consumption, the standard of living was improved.

Once the people consume, the demand for daily necessities such as meat, vegetables, and cloth will increase.The greater the demand, the higher the income of merchants, and the higher the tax!

This is completely a virtuous circle, endless life!

With the help of machinery in farming, common people have time to work to earn money, and when they have money, they go to consumption. Merchants make money after consumption. When there is demand, merchants start to expand their scale, requiring more common people to work, and women's work provides A lot of labor.

In this way, the merchants have made money, the common people have made money and improved their living standards, and the court has more taxes!

For a moment, all the officials were dumbfounded!
