Chapter 40: The New Army (4)
"Your Majesty, don't worry." Sun Chengzong's old face had a rare smile. Yang Gengai thought that he was wrong, and rarely saw Sun Chengzong laughing! With that bearded face, how difficult it was for him to laugh!
"Master Sun? ...... "Yang Reform doesn't understand why Sun Chengzong is so weird with a smile.
"Your Majesty, please see, what is this?" Sun Chengzong said as he took out an object from the drawer.
"Model?"
"Exactly, Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong's old face smiled so happily. The whole face was wrinkled.
“…… Could it be a tank model? Yang Reform exclaimed!
"Exactly, Your Majesty, this is a chariot model made by the old minister,......" Sun Chengzong's old face was red. Smile so brightly.
……
"......" was shocked! Yang Reform can only express his shock with more shock, ancient armored vehicles!
"Master Sun, this is a great help to me, in the future, Master Sun will make great contributions, and it is destined to go down in history......" Yang Reform held back for a long time, and he held back such a sentence.
"The old minister has thanked Your Majesty first, and Your Majesty will take a look at ......" said, Sun Chengzong's old face was still smiling, and he took out an object from the drawer while laughing.
……
""Cheying One Hundred and Eight Buckles Answer Co-editor"? Master Sun, what is this? Yang asked reform.
"This is the old minister's clumsy work." Sun Chengzong's old face is that Shandandan is red and gorgeous.
Do you still write books as a teacher? Yang Gai wondered, feeling that his master was still a "writer". “…… Could it be that this is the configuration and tactics of the tank? Yang was excited. Ready-made vehicle configuration and methods of combat, which is a good thing.
"Your Majesty."
If you want to fall asleep, you can send a pillow, and if you want a "tank" armored car, someone will send you the configuration and tactics of the tank, this is simply a golden finger that the gods have given themselves! Yang Gai looked up to the sky and laughed "Ha, haha, hahaha......"
Yang Reform was happy, and he was still thinking hard about copying the essentials of tank armored vehicles and infantry from Baidu, but he didn't expect that his master would send him a formal original. Yang Gai found that his master was very cute. Yang Reform can't wait to "kiss" the old face of the two.
It's just wonderful. I can't describe it in words!
……
After half a ring, Yang's excitement for reform subsided.
"Master Sun, you are really my good master, I am having a headache for this Dongyu, Master Sun sent me such a magic weapon, I don't know how to thank Master Sun."
"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, it's all up to the minister." Sun Chengzong said.
……
"Master Sun, let's quickly explain the key to this, I can't wait." Yang Reform really can't wait, and he can't wait to immediately gather people to start building chariots and start recruiting people to form armored troops.
"Yes, Your Majesty......" Sun Chengzong's old face smiled the most today, as if there were fewer wrinkles. smiled, and all the wrinkles on his face were gone.
……
"Lao Chen is based on Qi Shuai's car camp, adapted and added...... With four vehicles as one ride, four vehicles as one balance, two balances as one punch, and four strokes as one battalion, each battalion has more than 6,000 people, 128 cars, and 352 guns of various kinds in the cavalry joint camp......"
One car is a squad, four cars a platoon, four platoons a company, two companies a battalion, four battalions a brigade unit? Properly, this is no different from the establishment of the military in later generations! A brigade has more than 300 artillery pieces...... Yang Reform was shocked! This is a lot more than the German [***] artillery of later generations.
Thinking of the warlord melee in the Republic of China, a regiment can have a few small cannons even if it is elite, it is really incompatible!
……
Yang Reform was shocked for a long time, and there was always a breath of air hovering behind his chest and abdomen. I can't wait to look up to the sky and sing, laugh wildly to vent myself. I smirked, I smirked......
"How many such battalions is Master Sun going to make?" This battalion can be compared with the brigade-level troops of later generations. The compilation was quite strong.
"Your Majesty, this question, the minister is not easy to say, it all depends on His Majesty's financial resources, the old minister based on the situation of Qi Shuai back then, Qi Shuai has established seven battalions, each battalion has more than 3,000 people, a total of more than 21,000 people, so, it stands to reason that the old minister thinks that at least three new car battalions, totaling more than 20,000 people, are enough for a war." Sun Chengzong's brows furrowed again. Carefully analyzed Yang Reform.
Seven tank brigades (three thousand people)! No wonder Qi Shuai was able to sweep the grassland and shock the border pass! Treat Mongolia as a waste of firewood! It turned out that it was abused many times by this "time-space" firepower configuration, and it is no wonder that Mongolia was a wilted goods later. Feelings have a origin.
Yang Gai seemed to see that one after another chariots appeared on the prairie, above the horizon, there were dense Ming chariots, and the muzzles of thousands of cannons had pointed to the top of the heads of the Mongols. The sun was setting, a thousand cannons were fired, the earth was shaking, the sky was trembling, and the Mongols were weeping blood. Ten thousand muskets opened fire in unison, and the Mongols saw hell beckoning to them......
Yang Reform understood, no wonder when the Ming Dynasty army dealt with the Mongols, they had a great advantage in their hearts, and they dared to fight the Mongols to the death.
……
Half a ring, Yang Reform came back to his senses.
"Two or three tank battalions [6,000-man brigade]? Will it be too little? "The three 6,000-strong brigades combined, according to the establishment of later generations, are also a super version of the division-level troops. There were more than a thousand artillery pieces of various calibers. At this scale, Germany's elite divisions during World War II had to express great pressure. However, Yang Gai felt that one division was still too few, and at least seven or eight such divisions must be there, so that against the wild boar skin, it would really be a thousand cannons and be stoned to death.
"Your Majesty, this is the old minister's assumption based on the situation when Qi Shuai and the Mongols fought, so the number is about the same, however, now the situation in Houjin is different from that year, so the minister suggested that nine chariot battalions can be formed, and the chariot army can be combined, totaling 50,000 or 60,000 people............
Yang Gai was choked by Sun Chengzong's words, it seems that his master is not a kind person! Nine such brigades [6,000 brigades] are three super divisions, this kind of force...... Hmph, Yang Reform just wants to say, 3,000 cannons, the total strength of wild boar skins is only 50,000 or 60,000, you are like this, it's too terrifying. It's really Mount Tai!
Yang Gai felt that he was a little overwhelmed. said: "Master Sun, isn't this configuration too ...... A little too gorgeous? There are only tens of thousands of soldiers in total. ”
"Your Majesty, don't think so, the lion Bo Rabbit, also use all his strength, the soldiers who can fight all the soldiers in the East are also above fifty or sixty thousand, Your Majesty does you think that the East will not send all the troops into battle when they fight? Lao Chen is equipped with nine chariot battalions, and the strength is only equivalent to Houjin, and he dares to say that he is sure of victory, Your Majesty must not think that he can pacify Dong......yu simply "Sun Chengzong was in a hurry, and he spoke a little rushed.
……
Yang Reform is a little embarrassed. is still his own master, the veteran is thoughtful, three super divisions, nine brigades of 6,000 people, the strength is only as good as the wild boar skin, so it can be said that he can win the wild boar skin, and there will be no "accidents" on his side. The lion and the rabbit, with all his might, are absolutely not wrong. Boar skins won't send only one or two thousand men to fight you just because you only have one division.
……
"Master Sun, has Master Sun calculated the silver taels needed to build such a chariot army?" When Yang Reform said this, he was very weak-hearted, knowing that this kind of super configuration needed to be piled up with silver, so he could only ask a question.
……
Sun Chengzong's old face was red and white, white and red, and after changing like this a few times, he moved his lips and spit out a few words: "The old minister doesn't know ......."
Yang Reform seemed to have been thundered, and Sun Chengzong didn't know how much silver he needed for his own chariot army! That's pretty shocking. There's only one possibility, and it's a frighteningly large amount of money.
It costs about sixty or seventy taels of silver to assemble a cavalry, and for ten thousand cavalry, the cost of assembling in the first year is about seven or eight hundred thousand taels. This kind of "chariot army" is a combination of chariots, infantry, and horsemen. Then, there are more than 60,000 troops in three divisions, and if there are 30 percent of the cavalry, 30 percent of the cavalry will have the appearance of 20,000 people, that is to say, the cavalry alone will cost 1.56 million taels of silver. In addition to the chariot itself, the livestock that pull the chariot, all kinds of artillery, muskets, materials, consumption, personnel, and data are even more astronomical, there are no four or five million taels of silver in a year, don't want to raise such a "gorgeous" army, you don't train too hard, otherwise the consumption will be greater, and you can't afford to raise it; When you fight, you have to add money, and the consumption is greater, if you use this army to fight, you don't have a thousand taels of silver in your hand, so it's best not to do it.
Yang Gengai calculated the price a little, and said that the pressure was too great, and he only had a total of two or three million taels of silver at hand. It's shabby.
……
"Your Majesty is still going to start from simple to complex, and it is more appropriate to equip three chariot battalions [three chariot battalions of 6,000 people, one division] first......" Sun Chengzong thought for a long time, feeling that his idea was really too whimsical. It's not realistic, it's more appropriate to have three battalions.
Three battalions are 20,000 people, and the cost is reduced to about 12 million taels, which can be supported by Yang's reform.
Yang Reform is gloomy and sad! After thinking for a long time, he said: "Alas~~! Then, according to what Master Sun said, let's train three battalions first. "Yang reform's incomparable pain, all the silver is to blame, if you have silver in your hand, you can build three super divisions, you can bulldoze the wild boar skin, but you only have two or three million taels of silver on hand, the household department is still asking for silver, don't count on the household department, so, this matter, exploding three battalions is already the limit of Yang reform.
Yang Gai once again felt depressed and anxious about his mission of "paying slaves": it seems that he still has to work hard to get more silver!;
