Valley Emperor

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Zhang Yue played the curve mode in Huguang and Jiangxi to eliminate the guards. Naturally, it is impossible for everything to run according to his ideas. , there will always be many surprises in this process.

For example, a group of guard soldiers who were sent back to Wuchang to work, a mutiny took place when they approached Wuchang. Biao soldiers, and then coerced thousands of guard soldiers from the team to raise the name of the Qin King Army under the Datang Dynasty, and tried to flee south to join the Datang Dynasty.

It's a pity that this matter just appeared, and even Zhang Yue was not alerted, and was suppressed by Song Zhiwen, who was left behind, led by the superintendent!

Under the suppression of more than 500 superintendents, the thousands of guard soldiers who had made a mutiny could not hold on for a long time, and then they completely collapsed.

When the matter reached Li Chunjing's ears in Jiangxi, it made Li Chunjing feel quite a pity!

What a rare propaganda event this is. A team of Ming troops turned to the Tang Dynasty and broke with the Ming Dynasty. What does this show? It shows that the prestige of the ancient sage has spread all over the country. It shows that the Tang Dynasty only The only real owner of China!

It's a pity that this is a bit of a drama. If the guards of the Ming army can support it and enter Jiangxi, Li Chunjing doesn't even mind giving the book to His Majesty in person, so as to win a preferential treatment for the guards. ending.

such a pity!

However, the occurrence of this matter did not lessen Zhang Yue's determination to eliminate the soldiers of the guards, but strengthened his determination even more!

In the past, he only felt that the guards were unusable, but now he felt that the guards were not only unusable, but even felt that these guards were an unstable factor.

The Ming Dynasty and the pseudo-Tang Dynasty fought for several years. Although there were cases where the Ming army surrendered as an organic system and high-level officials also surrendered, there was no direct rebellion by the troops in the rear, and then turned to the pseudo-Tang Dynasty.

After this incident, Zhang Yue took several measures in a row. In addition to sending these guards to Wuchang to make guns, he also ordered the guards to leave the front line and then go to the rear to reclaim.

At the same time, he also accelerated the scale expansion of the supervising target!

50,000 people are not enough, he wants 100,000 people or more!

Where does military spending come from? Naturally, it was removed from the military expenditure originally used for the guards. In addition, Zhang Yue also began to strongly integrate the local recruitment in the direction of Huguang and Jiangxi.

That is, the recruits recruited by local officials such as prefects and governors using local finances!

He integrated the recruits recruited by local officials. Although they were not directly incorporated into the supervising target, he also trained them in the way of the supervising target, and integrated them into a team with complete organization and equipment. The new army unit is also called the training army. The state capital is the basic unit, and it is called the so-and-so training army.

Such as Hengyang training army, Changsha training army, Yuezhou training army, Jiujiang training army, etc., each has several battalions.

The formation model of the scale of military training in these places is also quite interesting. The establishment, equipment and even training are directly based on the supervising standard, but the personnel and funds are directly from the local government.

When Zhang Yue was making big moves in the north, Li Xuan in the south was not idle either!

Because the battle situation in the north has once again fallen into a confrontational decision, although the Datang Army has a new offensive plan, to launch a large-scale offensive, various preparations will take time, especially if a new offensive is to be launched, the next The goal of one step is either Jiujiang or Fuzhou.

Each of these two places requires a large number of troops and sufficient artillery preparations to be conquered.

When the front-line troops were preparing for the next offensive, Li Xuan in the rear also began to discuss with the army to expand the military.

Yes, that's right, the army is still not giving up on expanding the army!

Limited by financial constraints, after the regular army was unable to expand its army, the army proposed another plan, which was to organize local garrison troops.

This garrison is not the same concept as the previous garrison composed of descendants of the Ming army, and it is also different from the previous robbery battalion. The previous garrison was actually a professional combat force, but it was poor in personnel, equipment, and combat effectiveness. It's just bad, and the robbery camp is actually more like a patrol policeman. It's okay to deal with ordinary bandits, but it basically doesn't have the ability to fight regularly.

The shortcomings of the above-mentioned two types of troops were also an important reason why the Tang Dynasty did not hesitate to withdraw from the organization. Retaining them has almost no effect except wasting money.

This time, the local garrison force proposed by the military, and even a new structure of the force, is based on retired officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers who have returned to the local area to form a local garrison force.

This kind of local garrison only retains the most basic structure on weekdays. What should most of the personnel do? During the slack season, they conduct intensive training at intervals, and certain subsidies are given during the training period.

In case of war, they would gather together to undertake the garrison task, and equip them with cold weapons and old weapons replaced by the military.

When Li Xuan first listened to it, he found that the army's idea of ​​this local garrison was very interesting. It combined the two natures of the reserve and the militia, and it had great potential!

Of course, what interests Li Xuan the most is that this kind of local garrison basically doesn't spend much money on weekdays, and will only give certain subsidies during intensive training.

With retired soldiers as the core, and then select some young and strong people, and concentrate on training appropriately during the slack season, it doesn't take long. Training for a month a year is basically the same.

In this way, this kind of garrison can be used to deal with bandits, small-scale rebellions, etc. in peacetime. If there is a shortage of front-line troops, it can also be urgently recruited and replaced with new ones. The system initially has a certain combat effectiveness.

Li Xuan, who was very interested in this, soon called the relevant generals of the army to discuss the feasibility of this plan.

After discussions, Li Xuan also made up his mind and planned to develop this model in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions first. At the same time, it was not called the garrison, but was renamed the militia, and the militia organization should be directly promoted to the village level.

Militia at all levels, directly under the leadership of the Privy Council, and even an important component of the imperial military force, usually undertake local bombing and suppression, suppress bandits, and directly form large-scale militias to participate in wartime.

The birth of the militia system is also the first attempt by the Tang Dynasty to establish a reserve system, and the specific effect is still unknown, and it can only be left to follow-up observation.

At present, in the King's Division of the Tang Dynasty, we still have to rely on the main troops to carry out the war, so the main energy of the land side is also to upgrade the existing regular troops!

Because the reorganization requires a lot of guns, the major arsenals under the Datang Ministry of Industry are making guns and guns without stopping almost every day. As the front gradually moves north, in order to ease the logistical pressure, the Ministry of Industry is already in Ganzhou, Each of Shaoyang opened a new arsenal to supply frontline troops nearby.

Due to the further expansion of the scale of the war, the demand for guns is almost endless. The Datang Ministry of Industry has also become one of the two busiest internal departments in the entire Datang Cabinet. , are busy.

And what is another busy department? Naturally, it was the tax department of the Tang Dynasty!

The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Taxation, this is an important force supporting the external expansion of the Tang Dynasty!

Without the money and food that the tax department worked so hard to scour, it would be impossible to build guns and recruit soldiers.

Without the guns and artillery made by the Ministry of Industry, the army would not be able to expand its troops and fight a war!

And these two departments, Li Xuan has always been keeping an eye on them personally, and the various systems in them are considered to be at the forefront of the official organizations of Datang at all levels, and the office efficiency is quite efficient.

The Ministry of Industry decided to open a new arsenal in Ganzhou. It only took half a month to transfer the relevant machinery and equipment and the main engineers~www.wuxiaspot.com~ workers to Ganzhou, and then directly requisitioned a large number of private houses to start construction. !

In just one month, a small-scale trial production began. At present, the main focus is on ammunition production. In fact, when the Second Army went north, some of the ammunition was supplied by the Ganzhou Arsenal.

However, the scale is still relatively small, so the supply is limited, and most of them are provided by several large arsenals in Guangdong and Guangxi!

After November today, Li Xuan once again saw the report of the Ministry of Industry, saying that in the last month, Datang's production of various ordnance reached a new high.

Including the standard arquebuses used by the infantry and marines, and the short-barreled arquebuses used by the cavalry, a total of 1,800 arquebuses were produced by various arsenals under Datang in October.

In addition, the further improved cavalry-specific pistol is also officially finalized. Trial production began in October. At present, only less than 100 have been produced and delivered to the Guards for testing.

Musket, and even one of the most important materials needed for the reorganization of the Datang Army at present, the reorganization of the troops has led to an increase in the demand for muskets by the existing troops several times.

In the past, an infantry division was only equipped with more than 1,000 muskets, but now, an infantry division includes musketeers in three infantry regiments, grenadiers, cavalry in a cavalry battalion, a baggage regiment, and an artillery regiment. For the muskets needed by the auxiliary arms, the total number of muskets required needs to be more than 4,000.

Based on the current ordnance output of the major arsenals of the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty, even if the current full production is maintained, it will take two months to complete the task of reorganizing an infantry division.

In addition to guns, artillery is equally important, or even more important, because the current Tang Dynasty's tough battles and even field battles are extremely dependent on artillery.

Therefore, Li Xuan paid more attention to the production of artillery!
