Chapter 685 The whole army changed clothes
Chapter 683: The whole army changed clothes
Nearly a month has passed since Xiang Yu jumped off the cliff and returned to Wancheng to Qin Hao. Now it has been January 189, the sixth year of Zhongping.
This is an important time point for the frequent occurrence of major events in the sixth year of Zhongping.
If it follows the direction of the original history, Liu Hong will die of illness in May this year and then be buried in Wenling, with the posthumous title of Emperor Xiaoling.
After Liu Hong''s death, He Jin, the relative of the foreigner, took power and supported his nephew Liu Bian to succeed the throne, becoming the young emperor.
In June, He Jin secretly sent someone to poison Dong Hou in Hejian Post House, took the coffin back to the capital, and buried it in Wenling.
In July, He Jin believed in his sister Empress He''s words and went to the palace alone and was killed by the ten regular attendants.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo led 3,000 Western Liang cavalry into Beijing, but he cheated on the outside world that he claimed to be 100,000 cavalry.
In September, after Dong Zhuo took control of the military power of Kyoto, he showed his fangs and directly abolished the young emperor Liu Bian as King Hongnong, and appointed the nine-year-old Chenliu Liu Xie as the emperor, which was Emperor Xian.
In December, Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong, and after fleeing back to Guandong, he issued a forgery imperial edict, calling on the princes of all towns to jointly attack Dong Zhuo.
Since then, the vigorous battle against Dong of the Eighteen-Road princes has officially begun.
Of course, the above are events that occurred in the original history. Now, due to the influence of Qin Hao as the promoter, the world has long become unrecognizable compared to the original history.
In the original history, Luoyang, where Dong Zhuo entered, has been moved to Chang''an.
In the original history, it was Yuan Shao''s proposal to He Jin that led to Dong Zhuo''s entry into Beijing, but now Yuan Shao has long become a prince in advance. How can he offer his advice to He Jin if he is not in the court?
In addition, Dong Zhuo now lives in the Liangsi prefectures, with nearly 300,000 troops under his command, which is recognized as the strongest prince of the world.
Guanzhong has been surrounded by Dong Zhuo from both sides. No matter how stupid He Jin is, he cannot continue to lead the wolf into the house, right?
So, it is still the same whether Dong Zhuo can enter Beijing smoothly.
Of course, there is also the most important point. Although Liu Hong''s health is getting worse and worse, there is no sign of sudden death, so will he really die of illness in May?
The newly conquered 100,000 new troops have been trained, but the equipment has not yet been in place, and Qin Hao has less and less time to prepare for the war.
Regardless of whether the situation will develop in the direction of the original history, Qin Hao must be prepared for all responses.
Before the real troubled times begin, Qin Hao must at least arm all the 120,000 troops under his command so that he has the capital to deal with all the challenges. You must know that there are quite a few forces coveting Nanyang.
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Hao no longer cared about the heartache expenses and said to Liu Ye with a serious expression: "Zi Yang, I ordered you to expand the laboratories to 20,000."
Although Nanyang is the strongest county, there are many vassals around it.
There are Dong Zhuo in the north of the south, Huangzu in the south, Li Shimin in the west, and Yuan Shu and Cao Cao in the east, and they are already surrounded.
After the troubled times begin, if Qin Hao is besieged by all directions, he will definitely continue to expand his army, but the Institute of Technology cannot create enough weapons due to insufficient manpower, which is not what Qin Hao hopes to see.
Liu Ye''s pupils shrank when he heard this. He also knew that 15,000 craftsmen was not a small number. It should be noted that the great man in the decisive battle of the Yellow Turbans had only 30,000 craftsmen.
Liu Ye’s real purpose this time was actually just to expand the industrial plant to 10,000, but unexpectedly, Qin Hao gave him 20,000 yuan in staffing.
"Liu Ye will definitely live up to the trust of the lord." Liu Ye said in a deep voice. The expense of supporting 20,000 craftsmen is quite high. The reason why Qin Hao made this decision was because the real troubled times were coming. At that time, even if the supply of the army was saturated, the military can be stored first for backup.
"I used to build new types of ordnance stored in the warehouse. How many troops can I equip now?" Qin Hao asked.
During the two years since the founding of the Institute of Technology, it has never stopped forging equipment, but most of the forgings before were old-fashioned equipment.
The Qin army only thoroughly understood the forging technology of new equipment such as Tang swords and Song crossbows. In addition, the forging technology of new equipment is more complicated. If the scale of the industrial plant is not expanded, it is still unknown when the entire army can be replaced.
"I have reported to you that among the new equipment currently stored in the warehouse, there are 30,000 horizontal swords, 5,000 Mo swords, 8,000 powerful crossbows, and 10,000 pairs of armor... enough to 30,000 troops."
After listening to Liu Ye''s report, Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction and praised with a smile: "It seems that the Institute of Technology has not slacked off in the past two years.
"The lord praised it, this is just something my subordinates should do." Liu Ye responded with a smile.
Qin Hao quickly made a decision on the allocation of equipment in the warehouse.
"These equipment will give priority to the elite equipment, so that the elite battalions such as the Shanzhen Camp will be the first to change their clothes. If you have the extra ones, you will equip the remaining troops."
This is also impossible. The reason why elites are called elites is naturally to enjoy the highest treatment and the best equipment, because they are facing the most dangerous situation.
"The lord is wise."
"Ziyang, your laboratories have a great responsibility. In the next year and a half, our army will have to change their clothes, so you will definitely make all the equipment for me as soon as possible."
Liu Ye frowned when he heard this, and after a little thought, he said in a deep voice: "Lord, it''s really a bit rushed for a year and a half, but if you work overtime, it''s still time."
Qin Hao immediately smiled when he heard this. It was a big project to change the entire army of 120,000 troops, but Liu Ye was sure to do it within a year and a half. This not only proved that his own ability was excellent, but also proved that Qin Hao''s huge investment in the industrial plant was not in vain.
After the two major consumer finance investors, the medical camp and the industrial and industrial center, the rest of the people who came to Qin Hao were only considered small investments, and the Nanyang Academy, which invested the largest, did not have one-fifth of the funds required for industrial and industrial.
After the military and government expenditure was resolved, the elite camps all tacitly approached Qin Hao.
There is only a little new type of equipment at present. If you come to Liu Ye directly, Liu Ye’s personality will definitely be official, and every general wants to get more benefits for the soldiers under his command, so they all went privately to Qin Hao and came to the back door.
"General Gao Shun, what are you doing? I remember that the supply and demand used by the camp are the best in the entire army, right?"
"General Wen Yuan, why are you laughing? What are the fewer than the trap camp?"
After sending Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Ran Min and others away one by one, Li Cunxiao was the last one to come to Qin Hao.
As soon as he saw Qin Hao, Li Cunxiao looked aggrieved and said unyieldingly:
"Lord, you are too biased. His Gao Shun''s camp is only 3,000 units, but you gave them three thousand new heavy armor, three thousand wild swords, and one thousand powerful crossbows...
Let’s take a look at our Feihu Camp, this is simply raised by the stepmother. ”
