Chapter 510 New Army
Liu Shujing said: "If this happens, then we don't have to be afraid of Pu Xingfeng coming."
Li Guozhu smiled slightly and said, "Brother Huang said that it might not be them coming to us next year, but it might be us going to find them!"
"That's the best!" Liu Shujing was still talking about it, but when he saw a large group of gray-robed soldiers coming on the official road in the distance, his eyes lit up and said, "The new army has recruited outside the island again."
"Well, General A, let's go and give it away?"
"Of course I have to give it to you. In the words of Your Highness, soldiers are pillars to protect us. They should let them feel our support and ask everyone to prepare some water and eat!"
There were many people on the hills, and many people also saw soldiers coming from afar. At this time, under the advice of Liu Shujing, Huang's father, Huang's mother, Li Guozhu and other households prepared separately. Some people prepared clean water, as well as various fruits, eggs and other items. The army was still far away. When they were about to stop, they walked to one side of the official road on the other side of the field, a large number of soldiers of the government had just arrived.
"It's the Ninth Army and the Tenth Army." Liu Shujing's eyes were quite complicated. He was hit by a heavy arrow during the Jiangtan battle. His calf bones were shattered at that time. Later, he was hit by a splint and cured. However, he still limped while walking. He usually covered it with the hem of his robe. Outsiders couldn't see it at all. Only he knew that his calf was not strong and he would feel a little sore when it was cloudy and rainy.
Even so, Liu Shujing never regretted the time he fought with His Highness the King of Qin. Seeing these new soldiers seemed to be able to remind Liu Shujing to recall the past.
The Ninth and Tenth Army each had more than 3,000 people, each with six battalions, equipped with a certain number of crossbows and single-bow crossbows. These crossbows were placed on horse-drawn carriages and walked forward together with ordnances including arrows.
The army was marching columns, and they let go of the sentry cavalry to reconnaissance from afar. Even if they were marching on the island, the troops could fight with the enemy at any time.
Military officers all rode horses. Now the number of shogunate war horses is increasing, but most of the war horses are still directly assigned to the cavalry battalions and future cavalry army. Ordinary officers are still riding miscellaneous horses, and only military officers above the whistleman have horses.
The endless flow of soldiers lined up in neat rows, and a large number of people gradually surrounded the two sides of the official road. People began to hand over clean water and food to the soldiers. The soldiers were not hungry, but this spontaneous soldiers ordered the soldiers of the government to be quite moved. So the soldiers thanked them while starting to eat and drink symbolically. However, because there were too many people in the military, when they arrived at the port, everyone felt a little overeating.
Because Cai You was a miner leader, he came to the army on his own initiative. Many miners mainly took the initiative to join the army. After passing the enlistment assessment and new army training, the senior management of the military department found that Cai You was still literate, so he directly gave him the qualification for the junior military officer exam. After passing the test, it took less than half a year for Cai You to join the army to become a sentry officer.
A large number of warships were anchored at the port. A while ago, the navy soldiers were stationed in Jianzhou and the warships were parked in the port for maintenance. Now the navy soldiers are gradually returning, but they still mainly accept new ships.
Everyone knew that the Navy wanted to expand in large quantities. The Military and Political Department and Military Training Department recruited soldiers in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Xinghua Army, and even Mingzhou and Hangzhou.
It is best to recruit about 20,000 people within three months, and it is best to be coastal residents. Young and strong men who have boarded the boat are the best. In addition to naval soldiers, sailors also need to recruit a large number of sailors. As long as those who have boarded the boat, men aged fifteen to forty-five all need to use a large number of people in a short period of time, the age is much relaxed.
Cai You
They were not very interested in the navy. They were from Jiangxi and Jingnan, and in western Zhejiang, and miners lived in mountainous areas. The whole journey was very large. For example, from Quzhou to Mingzhou, all the mountains were all over the country. The journey of six or seven hundred miles was mostly mountainous. It took at least ten days and half a month to cross mountains and ridges to the beach. Few people made this determination. Although Quzhou and Fuzhou, Qianzhou, Jianzhou, and Shaowu Army, these places were said to be people from the southeast coastal routes, but many people had never seen the sea from birth to growth.
Cai You had never seen the sea before he arrived in the Dongfan, and he didn't want to be a navy. After several months of new army training, he passed the officer test and showed his ability to lead troops, and then became a sentry officer. Cai You now only wants to garrison in Jianzhou and other places. Under the leadership of His Highness the King of Qin, he kept making military achievements, from sentry officers to Dutou, to camp Yuhou, battalion command, regiment command, and military command.
Your Highness once said that every officer of the government army must have a positive heart, a heart that wants to be the commander of the army, or even the commander of the army, the general of the army, and the future Grand Marshal!
The path of a warrior is to fight from swords and guns!
Cai You pressed the horizontal knife with his hand and felt the coldness and heaviness at the hilt. The weather was cold. He went to the end of the year and was not as good as spending the New Year with his family. However, his heart was hot and he couldn't feel the cold weather or the sorrow of parting.
When he was a miner in Jianzhou, although his wages were quite large, his expenses were also high, and his family only had enough food and clothing. After joining the army on the island, the soldiers' families had houses, the military salary was paid monthly, and there were many additional benefits. After the soldiers went to war, they did not have to worry about the food and consumption of their families. If they unfortunately died in the war, the pension would be much richer than when they were there.
Cai You has been on the island for a long time and knows all these things. In the past, he was in the mine and was frightened every time he went down the well. If he couldn't get up, the pension money would not last long, and his wife and children would have to beg for food. Now he has no such concern at all, but he is full of the ambition to make achievements!
When we marched all the way, from Huaxi Military Camp to the port at Nan'anxi, there were many flat buildings along the way. There were a lot of farmland and animal husbandry everywhere, with canals, windmills, channels, buffaloes, horses, carts, and those strong and happy farmers. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, how could Cai You and others imagine and believe that what was in front of them was the fact that they had seen with their own eyes?
From the old military camp in Nan'anxi to the port, there were dense buildings everywhere, with many business stores, warehouses and mountains of goods everywhere. The shopkeepers and the guys were sweating all over, and they didn't forget to come over to salute and say hello to the soldiers. There were also more and more foreign merchants and docked merchant ships, and these outsiders also stared at the soldiers of the palace with curious eyes.
"Everyone and the baggage soldiers carried the armor together." A battalion commander came over and ordered: "This was just made by the craftsman's armored scepter bureau. Lord Fu personally brought people to him. It happened to be the time when our two troops moved to defense. What a good thing!"
After the battalion commander said this, everyone saw Fu Qian riding a horse not far away.
The newly established Shogunate Military Division, Fu Qian continued to lead the craftsmanship department, which almost contains everything related to engineering technology, including shipbuilding, farm tools, weapons, daily management of iron farms and mines, etc. There are textile factories, silk farms, etc. Although salt, tea, silk, these are all business and trade affairs, daily production management and technology upgrades require guidance from the craftsmanship department. It can be said that Fu Qian is the general manager of the technology of the entire Dongfan. The craftsmanship department has a very high status. It is considered to be an important department that crosses the civil and military departments, both civil and military departments, and takes advantage of both sides.
Because of the importance of the craftsmanship department, and Fu Qian led the Dongfan Marine Department's political affairs officer, it was established
After the Government Affairs Department, Li Yi and Kong He, one of them is in charge of government affairs, and the other is in charge of financial accounting, both are members of government affairs. Qin Dongyang is also a representative of the military and was originally a member of the cardinal room. This time, Xu Zi first wrote and added Fang Shaoqun, who was in charge of the attendant department, Fu Qian, who was in charge of the craftsmanship department, and the number of government officials reached five. Li Yi was in charge of the general, and the other three aspects of wealth, military, and skills. The attendant department is a member of the upper and lower levels, information transmission, archives, and other matters, plus many other matters such as entourage security.
It is the protection and execution agency of Xu Zixian's brain. It is not controlled by the Government Affairs Department, and the internal information and military information departments are not controlled by the Government Affairs Department. According to Xu Zixian's vision, the Privy Council established in the future is in charge of military orders, military training, military law, logistics, staff and daily management. The Military and Political Department controls military positions, military recruitment, retirement, pension, resettlement and other matters, and belongs to the scope of government affairs. This way, both civil and military can solve some of the accumulated problems of the present, which is roughly the same as the military system in later generations.
"There are 6,000 armors this time, which is considered to be filled." Fu Qian's eyes were blue and black, and he was obviously quite tired. He was surrounded by Zhang Mingliang. This assault armor casting was also strongly supported by the iron field.
Of course, it is also related to the gradual filling of gaps in a large number of hydraulic forging machines and machine tools. After the production capacity has increased, we can talk about the complete filling of armor before the army moves defense.
"Is it a lot more?" Zhang Mingliang smiled and said, "The two armies originally had two thousand armies. According to His Highness's idea, as long as they are in the army, they must be wearing armor to prepare for war, so even the fire soldiers are considered war soldiers, and they must be wearing armor, but if they are supplemented, four thousand armies are enough.
"The Ninth Army moved to Quanzhou to cooperate with the public security operations there to eliminate the thieves, and at the same time eliminated and controlled all the wing troops there. The Tenth Army went to Jianzhou." Fu Qian said tiredly: "Take the two thousand leaders to the First Army and fill all their vacancy."
"Very good, the combat power of our soldiers can be higher than the other level."
Fu Qian nodded and said nothing. At this time, the commander of the Ninth Army Gao Huairen and Ge Cunyi of the Tenth Army came over, and everyone bowed to each other with fists.
Gao Huairen was originally placed in the garrison of Nan'an. After Nan'an was defeated by the bandit army, he would not be able to recover his vitality for a while. It just so happened that the new army was trained and trained. After the handover, it was natural that this old-fashioned Ya's general was promoted to command.
Ge Cunyi was also separated from his brother and led the 10th Army alone.
Due to Ge Cunyi's unique leadership style, his subordinates, that is, in the 10th Army, have a lot of people who like to throw spears, and they can also be seen from the number of spears brought by the soldiers.
"Thank you, Mr. Fu." Gao Huairen bowed and said, "This time our army is fully armored."
"I don't know how to allocate armor?" Ge Cunyi smiled and said, "I want to say another thing, I hope that the weapons bureau will use more spears for my sons. Of course, the more divine arm bow is the better."
"It is not yet possible to meet the needs of the Divine Arm Bow." Fu Qian said with dark eyes: "Now, the most skilled craftsmen and hydraulic machine tools are used to make crossbows. Because the number of bed crossbows required for newly launched warships is extremely huge, we are now meeting the navy first. This floor is specially requested by Your Highness and must not be shaken. Although the Divine Arm Bow is smaller than the bed crossbow, the process is not as complicated as the bed crossbow. It only uses less material, but to meet the needs of the army, I estimate that it will take at least two years..."
"Two years?" The two generals shook their heads together, and Gao Huairen said: "Then they still can't use them for pirates, they can only use them for the Donghu people in the future."
"At that time, the divine arm bow we make can reach more than 500 per army, and with elite archers who can use hard step bows to quickly shoot, the scene can be imagined."
