Chapter 295: Weapons and equipment issues during major reorganization

The great reorganization of the Han army will naturally weaken it to a certain extent. No, it should be said that it disperses its own strength.

However, this is only temporary. When the reorganization is completed and the training of new recruits is completed, the strength will be greatly increased.

Just like the Han army's research on internal strength, among the soldiers, the food was really heavy in oil, salt, and sugar.

Likewise, their training must be more difficult, and their guidance skills must not fall behind either.

Therefore, in the future, there will inevitably be more people with internal power among the soldiers.

Like a new recruit, the training at this time is not so hard and tiring.

In the first month, they focus more on discipline training and then on physical fitness.

Otherwise, depending on their current physical condition, they might die if they continue practicing.

Moreover, there are only two problems with the training of new recruits.

One is not distinguishing between left and right, and the other is eating.

I won’t say much more about the indiscriminateness between left and right, but whoever sees it will have a headache.

As for the problem of eating, that is really a huge problem.

For example, you cannot let them eat enough at the beginning, otherwise a person who is often hungry will easily stretch himself to death.

Therefore, they need to eat small meals frequently.

Soldiers have three meals a day, and they have to eat four meals a day. The training time is shorter, and the meal time is also shorter.

Likewise, they can't eat fat or anything like that.

This thing also requires a little training, and fats and oils are gradually added to the meals.

Otherwise, if there is no oil or water in their stomachs, they may have diarrhea and die of diarrhea the next day after being exposed to oil.

Not only that, the recruits were not allowed to eat fish in the first month, not even fish soup.

For no other reason than to suddenly eat fish, they are afraid that they will choke themselves to death when they see the fishy meat.

As for why there was no fish soup, it was naturally because they were afraid that the recruits would steal the fish and cause a bigger accident.

In short, recruit training is too difficult.

Similarly, equipment for new recruits will be distributed in a month and military formation drills will begin.

And this is also a huge problem.

....................

Nowadays, the Han army has more than 3000 combat soldiers. Due to the continuous expansion of the army, the auxiliary soldiers have passed the examination and entered the combat soldiers.

However, due to two expansions, the number of people trained in the new military camp is now nearly 8000.

However, among these people, only half of them should be able to become soldiers.

But this is enough, at least for now.

Even if Liu Wu's plan was to send troops to Changsha County after the autumn harvest, [-] soldiers plus [-] new soldiers would be enough.

As for the defense of Hetu Mountain, it was all left to the militia.

After all, there are now more than 3 militiamen in Hetu Mountain. It may not be possible to attack the enemy, and it may not be possible to fight in the field. But it is still possible to build a camp and rely on the camp to resist.

Moreover, because both Bailian and Daqian are competing like crazy now, the militiamen may not be able to defeat them in the field.

Even in Liu Wu's plan, after the training of the new recruits was completed, Liu Wu did not want to send his auxiliary soldiers, but let them stay in Hetu.

Those who can go out on a campaign are only soldiers.

Of course, Liu Wu was just thinking about these things, and real battles were not like this.

And the most important thing now is the construction of equipment.

This is exactly the case, there is a huge problem with the equipment.

Because thousands of new soldiers were added at once, weapons are easy to say, but armor is really difficult to get.

Tengjia has been doing it, but it is far from enough. Not only that, all the rattan is not enough.

As for other armors, it is even more time-consuming and laborious.

It produces faster than Tengjia and is not suitable for fighting in the south. If the production is slow, let alone it. After all, you are already slow in production.

In this regard, after discussions at the site, Huang Biehe, Lu Yulin and others suggested that all rattan be used to produce rattan armor.

As for the rattan shield, it was changed to a wooden shield. Although it is a lot heavier, it is still usable.

And the most important thing is that the production of wooden shields is relatively convenient. The Agricultural Machinery Institute can also produce, which saves a lot of time for the Ordnance Institute.

As for the insufficient armor, they simply sewed pieces of iron, wood, and cloth to make a half-body armor, which only had the function of protecting the upper body, and even the upper body was not fully protected. For example, arms and arms cannot be defended.

As for arrows and the like, it is also easy to shoot through the gaps and into the soldiers.

Therefore, a large number of these people should be equipped with round wooden shields for secondary protection.

The style of this armor is similar to the life jacket of Liu Wu's previous life. It is divided into strips. Each strip is made of two one-centimetre-thick wooden boards sandwiching a thin iron sheet, and then wrapped with cloth.

When wrapping, some gaps will be left between the two protective sheets. These gaps form a cavity due to sewing.

If unfortunately an arrow hits the gap, the arrow will change direction due to the cavity problem, thereby reducing the damage of the arrow.

But the actual effect is that the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom.

After all, this sudden expansion of combat troops actually broke the station's plan to a certain extent.

This is not to say that Liu Wu and others were not fully prepared, but that in the original plan, after the unification of Hetu Mountain, they would have five thousand soldiers.

With five thousand soldiers, fully equipped with armor and weapons, and properly trained, it is possible to sweep across Changsha County from afar.

It's just that there are nearly 8000 new recruits, far more than half of the planned number. The small Hetu Mountain cannot supply materials at all.

Not only that, the so-called sufficient evil weapons are only swords, guns, swords and halberds, but bows, crossbows and the like are not enough.

Because these two things are quite troublesome.

Nowadays, what can be quickly equipped and manufactured is the crossbow.

In response, Liu Wu immediately decided:

"Mobilize the people to make arrow shafts in their free time. Remember that the arrow shafts must be of uniform specifications."

"Activate the craftsmen, send out part of the crossbow, and make it according to unified standards."

"The final processes, arrowheads, bow strings, etc., are completed by ordnance."

"Remember, you must give money and food for these things. Even if you give them a little, you still have to give them. They must not be free."

"Bah! You said it wrong. You can't take it for nothing."

"Don't take every drop from the people. This work is not only a disciplinary issue in the military, but also a disciplinary issue in internal affairs. We must pay attention to it."
