…………………………………………………………………………
There are really not many of the 190,000 troops in Nanjun who have combat experience, except for a few battles with Baiyue, two battles in Qianzhong County, and the first battle of Hengshan County, the operation to pacify Nanjun is basically a small-scale hunting and killing nature.
The previous 70,000 soldiers were basically adapted from the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who survived the Plains Campaign, and nearly 40,000 of them were selected to invade Qianzhong County, and 10,000 were entered into Hengshan County for revenge, of which 20,000 had been staying in Jiangling as a garrison for boring exercises.
It is not clear what the combat strength of the 10,000 reinforcements sent by Xianyang was, but after Lu Zhe personally checked it, he found that this Qin army was no different from the Qin army he saw in Yangzhou County, and it should be a conscription force.
The conscripted troops of the Qin State were not a first-line standing army, they were a team composed of most veterans, and their combat effectiveness was second-rate in the Qin State.
In the Qin State, the army with the strongest combat effectiveness was not the Beijing army defending Xianyang, and it was even more unlikely that it was the county soldiers of the counties, but the border army of the frontier.
About 300,000 border troops are the elite of the Qin army, and about 150,000 of these troops are in the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the rest are arranged to be stationed in Yanmen County, Dai County, Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, Liaoxi County, Liaodong County, these northern border counties.
The Northern Xinjiang Army was expanded to 300,000 before, and later it was transferred to the junction of Taiyuan County to stand by, and the current composition is mainly based on 100,000 border troops and 100,000 conscripts.
According to Lu Zhe's view, the current combat effectiveness of the army can basically be divided into several grades, the Qin Border Army is the first class, the Xianyang Garrison Army is the second class, the Qin Conscription Army is also the second class, and the Nanjun soldiers who are completely lacking in actual combat experience are the third class. The aristocratic armed forces of the counties are of the fourth rank, and the chaotic and unorganized rebel armies are of the fifth class.
Of course, such a calculation is a bit rough, whether an army's combat effectiveness is strong or not depends on the morale of the army and logistical supplies, the first-class Qin border army lacks food or straw or something affects it and becomes demoralized, and the combat effectiveness is reduced, and the chaotic army may also become high morale and combat effectiveness because of sufficient food and straw and individual accidents.
There is no country to strengthen the country, and the army is not strong for a long time, and it is just a chapter in history. Who would have thought that the Qin army, which unified the six kingdoms, would be buried in history under the resistance of an army composed of nobles and mobs that was not even a third-rate army?
At present, Nanjun is not short of people, nor is there a shortage of money, nor is there a shortage of food, which is the three biggest prerequisites for training elite divisions, and what Lu Zhe needs is to find a suitable battlefield. Then put the troops into it, and use the death and blood of comrades or enemies to train a strong army.
Of course, although the armor and weapons have been intensified, after all, it has not been a long time, and the army's armor and weapons are still not fully matched, so it is also a last resort to fight in batches.
After three months of emergency manufacturing, with the mobilization of about 500,000 people in the whole army, the number of rattan armor should be 233,000 pieces, and the leather armor is 22,000 pieces. However, there are only a pitiful 2,500 heavy armor, which are generally allocated only by soldiers who go out to fight, and the soldiers who remain in Gangneung have not been allocated at all.
There are several processes involved in the production of rattan armor, and weaving rattan armor is the simplest process. Young and old and women can do this job very well, the trouble is to cook and wait for drying. The time required to compile a set of rattan armor is five days, and it only takes about half a month to refine and wait for drying, because there is a new drying technique, under the assignment of the government. Every 20 days, more than 100,000 people can make about 80,000 pieces of rattan armor. When he hoarded 200,000 rattan armors, Lu Zhe felt that the number was sufficient, so he ordered to stop compiling rattan armor and replace it with Teng Dun. By the time the order reached the counties, there were 30,000 more. Therefore, the final figure was fixed at 230,000 rattan armors.
On the contrary, the leather armor takes a little longer, after all, it needs to process the fur and cut and sew, and the process of leather armor is much more than that of rattan armor, so more than 300,000 people, children, and women in Nanjun have been busy for nearly three months to produce 23,000 pieces.
The technical content and production process of heavy armor are much higher than those of leather armor and rattan armor, and this is not the time when someone can make it, and each "Yuecheng" in Nanjun has to bear a very heavy weapon manufacturing, and can only draw out a small part of the manpower to make heavy armor, so the number of this armor is the least.
It will take some time to fully equip the army with armor and weapons, and the current number of troops is only 130,000, which is why the army of Nanjun is always controlled below 50,000 every time it is dispatched.
It may be relatively simple to say, but the overall planning and distribution are not so simple, which is what Lu Zhe did with the existing government of Nanjun to coordinate and fully use and allocate manpower.
In addition to the absence of administrative departments such as the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries of Xianyang, Nanjun has become a "country" in some directions, and once the country wants to concentrate on something, the efficiency is quite fast and terrifying.
When it comes to the administrative department, Lu Zhe has not set up a corresponding department, and there is no corresponding "righteousness" in this way, but there are corresponding people in charge of all aspects, and what is missing is a "name". However, the framework of the two administrative systems has been gradually established.
In terms of war, Ji Bu, Yi Jian, Xu Zhi, Wu Liang, Su Lie, Mei Kai, Zhao Xian, and Diao Ding were the generals who led the troops.
In terms of internal affairs, Gongwei, Kunchuan, Mian Bi, Yan Bi, Zheng Jun, and Zheng Hao were the leaders, and the old government offices in each county and some newly promoted talents were assisted.
Oh, the two Zheng people are the Zheng clan in the Yiling Rebellion, they later surrendered in the Battle of Gangneung, Zheng Jun is the patriarch of the Zheng clan, and Zheng Hao is his son-in-law.
Lu Zhe, as the lord of Nanjun, is destined to be the operator, and he has adapted to such a role.
The 190,000 soldiers in the army, the troops that can go out in batches need to be strictly controlled, and the arrangement made by Lu Zhe is that the first batch of 20,000 soldiers and 30,000 auxiliary soldiers enter Qianzhong County, and send the corresponding generals to divide the 50,000 troops in batches, and then first sweep away the Baiyue tribes who do not submit in the deep mountains and old forests near Linyuan.
Luo Shao is a Yue person, this Yue person is not a Baiyue, but a descendant of the former Yue country. However, after hundreds of years of mixed life, the Yue and Baiyue seem to be no different to outsiders.
The plains of Qianzhong County have basically been swept away, but the invading Nanjun army is unable to attack the Baiyue tribe living in the deep mountains and old forests due to time constraints. Therefore, Luo Shao also had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
Luo Shao's contact with the Baiyue tribe was not very resonant or full of magical stories, and the process was often to send people to a certain tribe with gifts and ask for advice directly. Willing to establish a good relationship with the new owner of Qianzhong County, the Baiyue tribe only needs to take out local specialties as a gift in return. The unwilling Baiyue tribe will kill the messenger according to the degree of barbarism, or cut off certain parts of the body to let him roll back. There is no grey area in this negotiation process, and the answer must be given whether it is friend or foe.
The tribes of Baiyue who gave the gift in return, they waited for the second coming of the messenger to check how many gifts they had brought, believing that the gifts were valuable, and they would solemnly perform a religious ritual to kill some kind of animal and pray to the gods, presumably to accept the gifts and tell the gods who they had befriended.
When the messenger returns, he will come with a third batch of gifts. At this time, depending on the value of the gift, the patriarch of the tribe will select the tribal warriors who are equal to the value of the gift, and let these warriors follow the messenger away.
Luo Shao, who was deeply familiar with this set, had no difficulty in dealing with it, and in just half a month, he found out how many tribes were kind and how many tribes should be prepared or sent troops to exterminate.
"Su Lie is currently commanding 10,000 soldiers and 30,000 auxiliaries in Qianzhong," Lu Zhe looked at Luo Shao: "I need your answer." If you send troops to sweep away the tribes that do not submit near Linyuan, how many troops can the surrendering tribes provide? ”
Luo Shao bowed deeply: "I can dispatch five thousand tribal warriors." ”
Lu Zhe asked again: "How many troops do the tribes that do not submit? ”
"Tribes range from large to small, ranging from hundreds to thousands." Luo Shao maintained a saluting posture: "There is no one among them who has prestige to integrate all the tribes. ”
Lu Zhe understood: "So that means that in the early stage, our army can be wiped out one by one, and only when they are threatened will there be a tribal union?" ”
"That's right." Luo Shao said: "Looking at the speed of our army's killing, it can be as short as a month or as long as three months. Then the tribes that do not submit will be united. ”
The battle in the deep mountains and old forests is completely different from the situation of the Nanjun suppression and rebellious army, which has been governed by the Qin State for hundreds of years, and most of the environment is not too different from the Central Plains in many places. Therefore, it is rare for people from the original to be unadaptable, but it is different when they enter Qianzhong County.
In the battle of Qianzhong County, 50,000 troops entered. In addition to the casualties on the battlefield, most of the soldiers lost were due to the lack of adaptation, and Lu Zhe was very concerned about this phenomenon when he read the report, and there was no good way to solve it.
"There are more than 8,000 Baiyue people in Jiangling who have been reorganized into an army, and they are the Baiyue people who surrendered in the last battle, and most of them are Ouyue." Lu Zhe looked at the generals present, "This time, I plan to put 10,000 soldiers and 22,000 auxiliary soldiers into Qianzhong County, and include more than 8,000 hundred Vietnamese troops in the sequence of sending troops." You write me a report, and I will decide who is going to play based on your writing. ”
Luo Shao's spirits perked up, and he looked at Lu Zhe with blazing eyes: "County Lord, there are three thousand clan soldiers and more than seven thousand Baiyue warriors under his command. ”
"This time the battle will be in a scattered form to kill the tribes that do not submit to them." Lu Zhe looked at Luo Shao for a while, and said slowly: "This time, you can lead the soldiers of your own clan." ”
"I understand!" Luo Shao couldn't be clearer: "After this battle, the clan soldiers and Baiyue people under the command of the post are arranged by the county lord. ”
The rest of the generals looked at Luo Shao enviously, and the meaning of what Lu Zhe said was very clear, this battle was for Luo Shao.
Breaking up and reorganizing, this is what Lu Zhe has been doing, he will not allow a single tribe to become an army, and make an army with the nature of each general's private army. (To be continued......)
