Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Governing the land of three counties is different from governing the land of a corner of Hetu Mountain.

When Hetu Mountain was governed, there were at most a hundred thousand people and thousands of soldiers.

Nowadays, the combined land of the three counties has a total population of more than 200 million, even if part of the population fled and lost part of the population due to the war, because the Han army moved quickly.

It can be said that most counties in Leizhou are extremely wealthy, or have extremely large populations.

Although the population was lost due to war, a complete county must have ten or even twenty counties. According to the lowest county, there need to be more than [-] households and less than [-] households.

Medium-sized counties need to have more than [-] households and less than [-] households.

A superior county needs to have more than 1 households and less than [-] households.

Generally speaking, in a county, most of the top counties only have one, and that is where the county seat is located.

Medium-sized counties can have as few as three to five, and as many as ten.

As for lower-class counties, they are rare in Leizhou, but more common in Qianzhou.

Therefore, even if the Han army newly governs two counties, it will temporarily govern 35 counties (the previous calculation was wrong, the Han army should actually control 45 counties now, not 36 counties).

Even if these 35 counties are based on the assumption that each county has 14 households, the total number of households will not be less than [-].

If each household has five residents, then these 35 counties have 70 residents.

And this is just based on the minimum calculation.

In fact, although Huanghe County and Yilan County are not all middle-level counties, the number of lower-level counties is also very small.

What's more important is that according to the calculations of the Han army, only those who are ten years old can be truly counted as civilians, and children under ten can only be counted as children, which must be a lot of people.

Coupled with the Han army's policy of liberating the two counties, eliminating the powerful landlords, and dividing the land according to headcount, the population was so large that it was normal for the two counties to add up to more than one million.

But it is precisely because of this that the work of the Han army will be more difficult, at least compared to Daqian's local governance, the cost will be higher.

Fortunately, the Han army formed a reform team, trained a large number of grassroots personnel in a surprise attack, and at the same time split up large family ancestral halls in the name of land reform, and then managed to reach the grassroots level.

After that, grassroots training is also a top priority.

In this way, while the workload increases, managing the place becomes more comfortable.

So Liu Wu was really busy at this time, or the entire Han army was also very busy.

On this day, Liu Wu finally took the time to read carefully the "On the Concept of Mountain and Forest Combat Forces" submitted by Lu Yulin.

In Lu Yulin's conception, combat in mountains and forests is different from combat in plains. Almost the entire process is on flat ground, so the conditions are very restrictive.

When fighting in mountains and forests, you first need to consider meteorological issues, such as high temperatures during the day and sudden drops in temperature at night; sudden heavy rains, ground dragons turning over, mudslides, flash floods, etc.

Similarly, in the mountains and forests, some are densely wooded and difficult to walk; some are high and steep, making it difficult to climb. Not to mention snakes, insects, rats, ants and other poisonous things.

Therefore, fighting in the mountains and forests consumes a lot of physical strength of the soldiers, and supplies are also very difficult.

But when our Han army fights, we can't just consider large-scale legion operations and siege cities. We also need to consider mountain and forest operations.

For example, if there is a dedicated mountain combat brigade, or only one mountain forest combat battalion, in pursuit of the defeated troops of the Jiangnan Camp this time, they can achieve greater results in the pursuit of the defeated troops, or even completely eliminate the defeated troops. It is not impossible to completely dismantle its organization.

Moreover, if there is a sufficiently elite mountain and forest combat force, in the heat of war, we can rely on the mountain and forest troops to come out with surprise troops and decide the outcome in one fell swoop.

And whether it is Jiangnan, Jiangbei, or northern Xinjiang, there are actually many mountains and forests.

In such a place, ordinary troops cannot form formations at all, even the Yuanyang Formation specially trained by the Han Army. Too dense mountain forests and too steep mountain walls are insurmountable obstacles.

The most important thing is that the Han army is now in the south of the Yangtze River, with almost the most mountainous areas. In the future struggle with Daqian, the places where the army can be suitable and deployed are often strategic locations.

At that time, both sides were fighting, and there was a possibility of bloodshed. This would be extremely harmful to the army, and extremely harmful to the already weak Han army.

Therefore, in Lu Yulin's vision, the Han army should form one or more troops for mountain and forest operations.

This unit can carry supplies on its back and shuttle freely among the mountains and forests, and can appear unexpectedly in front of or behind the enemy. It can block the enemy from the front, attack the enemy from behind, or even cut off the enemy's food supply line.

Under many requirements, this mountain forest force should select specialized personnel like the navy and cavalry, mainly hunters.

At the same time, the equipment and weapons used need to be improved to make weapons and equipment most suitable for mountain warfare.

Not only that, Lu Yulin also pointed out that the White Lotus Sect once failed in the battle in Qianzhou because it failed to defeat Da Gan in the early stage.

Although his army could also carry out mountain and forest warfare, its experience was still too little compared to the Daqian soldiers in Qianzhou, so he was pushed back by Daqian.

Although the defeat of the Qianzhou War had huge problems with the internal fighting and command within the White Lotus Sect, it was undeniable that its army's inexperience in mountain and forest warfare was also important.

Otherwise, as long as the White Lotus Sect does not cede territory and seek glory like Dagan, then even if it fights internally, it will be difficult for Qianzhou to be re-conquered by Dagan.

Therefore, it is necessary for the Han army to form such an army to deal with various future war situations.

Lu Yulin concluded that in his vision, a mountain forest army must have special clothes, hats or helmets, rattan armor, shoes, gloves, tents, blankets, pickaxes, ropes, daggers, pack horses, hunting dogs, and medicines for frostbite, falls, sprains, and sword wounds.

These things need to be specially customized, and research and development, configuration, training, etc. are completely based on the specific situation.

Only in this way can an excellent mountain and forest army be formed.

As long as our Han army finds the best way, the next situation will be more beneficial to our Han army.

Even if the future war situation is unfavorable, we can still be in an invincible position.

Lu Yulin wrote a lot eloquently, and Liu Wu also read it very seriously.

So after reading it, Liu Wu suddenly realized that wasn't this a replica of the mountain troops of his time?

It's just that the weapons and equipment they use are different, and their properties are pretty much the same.

So Liu Wu knocked on the table thoughtfully and thought carefully.

"It seems that there is indeed a need to form mountain troops."
