Chapter 186: Fate
Ji Gan only has the equipment of each thousand under his command, the Pu'er army naturally uses swords, guns and fire, and the mu soldiers are also equipped with fire and waist knives. Finally, there are the original armor of the state city and Shunxiang Fort, and there are more than 500 pairs of captured Qing army armor that can be used. In this way, Wang Dou has a total of more than 1,000 pairs of armor, and the sergeants can wear one armor for every five people, and the proportion of armored sergeants is very high in the Ming army.
Even so, Wang Dou was still not satisfied, and he could continuously train the troops of Ben'an. It doesn't mean that he doesn't want to give his subordinates good weapons and equipment, but due to the limitations of reality, he can only accumulate bit by bit.
There were still more than 600 troops left, and Wang Dou decided to train a cavalry team of 400 or 500 people. The rest of the people can only be the logistics support team of this cavalry.
There were more than 1,000 mules and horses in Wang Dou's dagger, but all the war horses were selected until the night. The total number of horses and the total number of thousands of horses, plus the three thousand total lifting artillery team, used more than 200 horses from Wang Dou, and the radiant team and artillery team of the battalion headquarters also used more than 150 mules and horses from Wang Dou. In this way, Wang Dou only has more than 600 mules and horses left to use, and I don't know how many of them are.
Ren Lian cavalry, a horse corps of four hundred men. Not to mention the cost of the infantry that costs money and food equal to 3,000 people, the important thing is that the cavalry is difficult to practice, and the cavalry must have excellent riding skills, and must have a good understanding of the habits of horses, especially the habits of their own mounts. Maybe after half a year of hard training, you can be proficient in horseback riding, but it has to be used to charge and kill in formation, and I am afraid that it will not work without three years, so this cavalry team can only be used as a horse infantry. Increase the mobility of the army.
Thinking about the battle in the second half of this year, Wang Dou looked at Li Guangheng and heard that Li Guangheng liked cavalry the most. He is also good at riding and shooting, and his understanding of cavalry training is still above the Ti Dynasty. His ancestors came from the Qi family's army, and he also has some incense ties with himself.
And he is Han Zhong's father-in-law, as long as he has talent, what if he promotes him himself? Of course, you have to test him yourself.
Li Guangheng saw Wang Dou looking at himself, he sat up straight, he arrived at Shunxiang Fort, he felt that it was difficult to get out, although he made some contributions to suppressing bandits last year, but it was not eye-catching, today the garrison adults gathered all the officers to discuss the matter, Li Yan, Heng was also invited, he was surprised and delighted, sat upright and did not dare to move.
After the guard's eyes swept away, he sat up straight with anticipation in his eyes. ”
Li Guangheng disagreed: "It is inevitable that there will be injuries when training soldiers
Wang Niu said: "Li Baihu, you go on."
Li Guangyi said respectfully: "Yes." He said: "In the next few months, the lowly duty is to practice the skill of riding horses and the coordination of battle formations, how to use carbines and sabers on horses, and how to shoot arrows. By the second year, the sergeant was more familiar with horses. In this way, the man and horse are united, and the war horse can be controlled to charge into battle
Everyone at the bottom was discussing, some agreed with Li Guangheng's practice method, and some disagreed, so that they blushed and had a thick neck. Wang Dou didn't understand what Li Guangheng said, but when he heard that what he said was the Tao, what he said must be true, he smiled and said: "Okay, Li Baihu, I will hand over this cavalry team to you, but this will shoot arrows immediately, I think it will be exempted, the cavalry army is the same as the infantry army, or use the fire system." ”
Li Guangheng was first overjoyed, and then a little shocked. Don't teach archery on a horse? He was stunned for a while, but still gave up his orders.
Wang Dou said to Han Chao: "Brother Han, from this year onwards, the night of your intelligence department will mainly turn to Baoding Mansion and Zhending Mansion to collect intelligence. Survey maps. The following places, Mashuikou, Bauhinia Pass, Yizhou, Zhuozhou, Moshui, Baoding Fucheng, Julu, Jize atlas information, try to collect details, how much food is needed, you can report it to me
In this year's war, it's time to prepare, in order to avoid dying in battle with Lu Xiangsheng, you must take precautions now.
After listening to Wang Dou's words, everyone in the audience had different expressions. The garrison has set his eyes so far that he has already cast his attention thousands of miles away? Following this bold boss, everyone's heart beat faster, and then the blood boiled, the boss has enthusiasm and courage, if he follows closely. In the future, the territory will expand, that oneself
Han Chao received the order loudly, he thought differently from everyone, he guessed that Wang Dou had another deep meaning, but Chongzhen's nine years of war had proved the foresight of the garrison, and he ordered it down. Just do it yourself.
Wang Dou looked at everyone and said with a smile: "My Baozhou Exhibition is going well, as long as it takes two years, I will definitely be full of grain and rice, but at the moment I Baozhou Dingkou is still less ()." 30,000 or 40,000 people, a few thousand men. Not enough. After the spring ploughing, everyone will go out, let those recruits see the blood, and come back with some livestock grain and rice. ”
He muttered: "I am determined to plunder not only the livestock and rice, but also the population. No matter what method you use, before the autumn sowing, Baoan Prefecture will increase its population by at least 50,000 and tens of thousands of men. ”
Everyone present was cheering and screaming, and seeing the elated appearance of everyone, Wang Dou suddenly felt a little.
There is a saying that he is not easy to say, this year's battle. If you go into battle, how many of your sergeants will die? One thousand, two thousand, or three thousand? How many of these familiar people in the field will disappear? It's just that he was born in the troubled times of the Ming Dynasty, there is nowhere to be a paradise, and he has no way, perhaps, this is the fate of himself and everyone in Baoan Prefecture.
No matter how many people you lose in the future. Population replenishment is needed, so it is inevitable to plunder the population. And then scrape and train the soldiers and horses, and then supplement,,
It was easy to wait for Wang Dou and others to discuss various military matters, Lin Daofu and Zhang Gui seized the opportunity, Lin Daofu said: "My lord, I have all the military households in Baozhou Ding Zhuang to train into an army, and I can only practice when I am free, and I need to go home to work for my own fields when I am busy, and the sergeants are not allowed to go on expeditions. ”
Wang Dou's command is full of non-full-time sergeants, every time the farming season is busy, he will give the sergeants a holiday, let them go home to work, to send troops to fight, and also the selected season, Wang Dou thinks about it, and feels that there is no way to solve this problem, his soldiers are all the strong labor of each family, without them, how to cultivate their fields?
This trouble has been worrying Wang Dou, and when he heard that Lin Daofu had a way to solve it, he hurriedly said, "What can you do?" Let's hear it.
Lao Bai Niu: The discussion is very enthusiastic, I am very happy to read it, if there are disagreements, I also ask the book friends to restrain themselves, respect the other party's different views on the fate of the characters in the book, I can't say, but there is one point, the protagonist will not suffer.
