Listening to the frustrated chatter of the people below, Zilharang immediately explained loudly.

"But you Baylor and ministers don't need to worry too much, under Chen Wei's command, not every battalion leader is as capable of fighting as Lushun's troops and horses.

In the Jinzhou area, there were about 2,000 Huaxia troops, most of them were cavalry, and about half of them were cavalry, and about half of them were not good at cavalry warfare, but used horseback as a maneuver, and after arriving at the place, the team that carried out foot combat was called mounted infantry, that is, the cavalry that intercepted the 15 Baylor at the Fuzhou River crossing last year.

The head of a battalion in Huaxia is generally called a "regiment", and the number of people is about 1,500 to 2,000.

However, it is very strange that, according to the report of the sentinels, the establishment of this "regiment" was only used by them when recruiting, training, and garrisoning.

Other times, it was in smaller formations, known as "battalions", where multiple units were grouped together to fight.

According to the information we got from our investigation in Huaxia, the various regiments of the Huaxia Army, between every two regiment-level units, not only are the establishment different, but even the training methods are not the same, so if we estimate that the men and horses under Chen Xin are about 20 regiments.

You should know that when Chen Yi rebelled with Amin, his command was only a few hundred men, and even when Sukh Saha went to destroy Chen Xin three years later, he only had an army of less than 10,000 people. In just a few years, the soldiers and horses under his command have reached about 40,000 or 50,000 people, which shows the speed of his army expansion.

Here, the minister also wants to say that Chen Xin's mind is deep, and his methods are simply beyond imagination, and he has trained a so-called "militia" in villages all over China, and has set up a unit called "reserve" in each county.

Although these forces were only temporarily responsible for suppressing the rebels in their own country and monitoring their kingdom further south, they were incalculably numerous.

At present, the number of Huaxia troops in southern Liaoning is not too much, but if we allow them to carry out tuntian, train troops, and engage in such reserves and militias in Jinzhou and Lushun generation, I am afraid that in less than two years, Jinzhou will not be easily conquered by my golden soldiers and horses. ”

There was a buzzing discussion in the hall instantly, and among the people in the Houjin Dynasty Hall present, many people only knew that the Huaxia Army was strong and capable of fighting, but it was the first time that they heard that the expansion speed of the Huaxia Army was so rapid.

In comparison, the growth rate of their Houjin army is far inferior to that of the Huaxia army. In addition, after being raided and defeated by the Huaxia army in the past two years, the population of their Jurchen clan has a certain downward trend.

At this time, many of the people present put down the crackling little abacus in their hearts and began to listen carefully to what Zilharang said.

Dai Shan, who had been making a sick look on the side, immediately lifted his spirits when he heard this kind of news, and asked with a frown, "Ji'er Harang, is the source of your news really reliable?" He Chen Xin is just a defector ahah, and he occupies only the bitter cold land of North Korea, and the population has almost been killed by Amin, An Buyang, Sukh Saha and others back then, where did he come from so many people to recruit soldiers? Where did they get so much money and food to feed the soldiers? ”

As he spoke, he looked at the chief soldier of Wuzhen Chaoha, who was standing below and was a little stunned, and asked, "General soldier Ma, the wealth of the Ming Kingdom is the head of the surrounding countries, when you were in the Ming Kingdom before, have you ever heard of someone raising troops like this?" ”

The general soldier surnamed Ma lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The slave has also paid attention to the Huaxia Kingdom before, but it is not as rich as the Ming Dynasty. Its domestic population has indeed been slaughtered by years of war, and if it is to recruit troops, the amount of money spent on raising soldiers, even if it is only calculated at the lowest cost of raising soldiers in the Ming Kingdom, is also an astronomical amount.

What's more, judging from the combat power of the soldiers and horses under Chen Xin's command, it is absolutely impossible for them to be done according to the cheapest method of raising troops in the Ming Kingdom, at least they must have the treatment of a family member to have that kind of combat power.

If according to what Zilharangbel said, there are forty or fifty thousand regular soldiers under Chen Xin's command, and the number of people in that poor country cannot afford to support this family, the slaves are also puzzled. ”

After listening to this, Zilharang said to Dai Shan, "Lord Belle, the news related to Huaxia is from an extremely reliable person, and it has been verified by some smuggling ships.

In fact, these things are not difficult to inquire about in that Huaxia, no matter where the money that Chen Xin used to raise soldiers came from, but the number of his soldiers is indeed so much. ”

At this point, even Duoduo, who had been dizzy from anger, suddenly gasped, he didn't care about embarrassing Zilharang again, nor did he care about the prestige of attacking Dorgon from the flank, so he put up a face and asked Zilharang seriously, "In that case, then Jinzhou City, Lushun City, and the surrounding situation, have your military departments investigated it clearly?"

That Golden State City is still easy to say, our sentinels and scouts often run over to fight the autumn wind, and they can know some of the situation there, but Lushun City is different, we haven't been there for many years, do you know what it looks like there now? ”

Jierharang shook his head vigorously and replied, "The situation in Lushun City is really difficult to find out, between Jinzhou and Lushun South City, there are two lines of defense of the Huaxia Army.

Moreover, they have more than 2,000 cavalry forces in Jinzhou, and our sentries and scouts can't get through at all.

According to the owners and men of the smuggling ships in and around Dongjiang Town, except for the merchant ships with permits in China and the warships of the Chinese Navy, no other ships were allowed to enter Port Arthur.

It is said that the army under Chen Xin has expanded the southern city of Lushun, and at the same time built a trench and a breastwork along the mountain, and the number of various firearms arranged in it is very large, as for the rest, it is not very clear, and it is really impossible to inquire. ”

After listening to Zilharang's reply, Duoduo immediately remembered the Chinese soldiers and horses he had seen in Fuzhou, and suddenly felt a big headache.

At that time, he had made a special trip to see the landing ground position at the mouth of the Fuzhou River.

That thing was only built by the Huaxia Army in just two days, and he already felt very difficult to deal with that position.

But now, Lushun's Huaxia soldiers and horses have hid in a well-prepared position, and he feels that his head is big when he hears it, and he doesn't know how to fight at all.
