Chapter 1400 Disarmament and preparation for war
Chapter 1398: Disarmament and preparation for war
In the chaotic times, all political deployments are for subsequent military actions.
Qin Hao''s large-scale mobilization and appointment of officials was actually to enable the Qin army to have better military development, so after the internal affairs were rectified, the army was reorganized.
In order to quickly defeat Wang Mang, Yang Lin, who was entrenched in the Yewang City, and then unified Sizhou, Qin Hao had to recruit Liang army prisoners on a large scale, which allowed Jingbei to bear the consumption of the 300,000 army with four counties.
Although Qin Hao accumulated a wealth of foundation in Jingbei, he also consumed almost all the money in the Sizhou united war.
In order to defeat Temujin and thus preserve the Hetao area, the Jin army had to recruit more than 300,000 troops. With the Bingzhou and Hetao alone, they supported 600,000 troops to fight against Yuan Meng. Although they won the battle in the end, the foundation of Bingzhou and Hetao was also completely destroyed.
Let’s put it this way, it is now the second year of Chuping (192), and Qin Hao is already twenty-two years old.
Since the first year of Zhongping (190), when the heroes attacked Dong, Qin Hao has been fighting in the east and west, and has fought for two consecutive years.
In the past two years, Qin Hao unified Sizhou and Bingzhou, defeated Yuanmeng and preserved Hetao, achieving unprecedented great achievements, but also laid out the foundation of Jingzhou and the foundation of Bingzhou and Hetao.
Because of the treasure of God, the Qin army is not short of money now, but it is seriously short of food, and there is a shortage of all three states.
The current Qin army may not be able to support a battle of 50,000 people, so we must cultivate and restore our vitality in the future.
After the Qin and Jin were united, in order to intimidate Yuan Meng and the princes in various places, the Qin army temporarily retained a large number of organized troops.
The army that has been injured or killed in the war is just the number of troops in the organization:
Now among the Qin army, the Qin army has nearly 300,000 troops;
The Jin army''s troops were nearly 450,000 (of which 200,000 were militias);
The Liang army belonging to is nearly 70,000;
There are no faction, and there are as many as 30,000 elite battalions directly under Qin Hao.
Jingsi and the four places in the river and twenty counties actually support 850,000 troops. Although they are just numbers in the organization and there are not so many people in fact, it is also conceivable how tight the Qin army''s financial collapse was.
Although the number of Qin troops is large today, due to the bloated system and complex components, the combat effectiveness of the army has seriously declined.
In addition, the consumption of maintaining so much army also made the Qin army''s logistics unhappy.
The current Qin army is mobilized by the extreme forces during the war, so it is only 850,000 troops. It is impossible to support so many troops by relying on Jingsi and the territory of three states, one place and twenty counties alone, so it is urgent to rectify the army.
After the transfer and appointment of officials, Qin Hao immediately convened Liu Bowen and other military advisors, as well as senior military officials, and held a three-day meeting.
The content of this meeting is to streamline the troops, that is, disarmament and reorganization of the army.
Finally, after the meeting, Qin Hao decided to eliminate the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, retain elite troops, and directly dismissed 250,000 troops at one time, and only retained the regular army organization of 600,000.
Although Qin Hao''s twenty counties under his command were somewhat unable to maintain an army of 850,000, the consumption of the 600,000 regular troops was still possible.
After the large-scale disarmament, the Qin army will not be so bloated. After eliminating all the old and weak, the overall combat effectiveness of the Qin army will also be improved. As long as one or two years of training, it may not be impossible to achieve the combat power level before the heroes confronted Dong.
Disarmament is just the beginning. After the disarmament, the next reorganization is the top priority.
Among the 600,000 regular troops, the proportion of infantry, cavalry, and crossbowmen each accounted for is also the top priority of military and political affairs this time.
In the Battle of Hetao, the Qin and Jin armies used 120,000 cavalry, of which 10,000 were the cavalry of the Ming army. After the war, only 60,000 cavalry were left, with nearly half of the casualties.
Only 60,000 cavalry alone cannot intimidate foreign races. Considering that cavalry is needed to conquer Hebei, and after unifying Hebei, cavalry is also needed to protect the northern border.
So this time when the Qin army reorganized the army, the other troops were disarmament, and only the cavalry were expanding.
In the future war, cavalry will definitely be the top priority, and a large number of war horses were seized in this battle of Hetao, so Qin Hao decided to directly expand the cavalry to 200,000, so that the cavalry would account for one-third of the total force.
With 200,000 cavalry in hand, Qin Hao will become the prince with the largest number of cavalry. Even Dong Zhuo, who had more than 100,000 cavalry in Xiliang, was far inferior to him.
In addition, as long as these 200,000 cavalry are in hand, when Qin Hao unified Hebei and bordered the Qing Dynasty, he no longer had to fear the military strength of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty. 200,000 Iron Cavalry is enough to protect the safety of the entire northern border.
As for crossbow soldiers, it is also a type of infantry. In addition, there are crossbow cavalry among the cavalry. At critical moments, the Qin army''s crossbow soldiers can also be used as infantry, so the proportion of crossbow soldiers in infantry and cavalry is equally important.
After discussion, Qin Hao decided to arm and train 100,000 crossbowmen among the 400,000 infantrymen, and also arm and train 100,000 crossbow cavalry among the 200,000 cavalry.
If this arrangement is made, the Qin army will have 200,000 crossbow soldiers in the future, and the total number of powerful crossbows in the Qin army is only 100,000, and the gap in strong crossbows has reached nearly half. If it is not dedicated to developing for a few years, it is impossible to completely fill such a large gap.
As for the arrangement of the 400,000 infantry soldiers, it is simple, it is nothing more than training, dress-up, etc.
The 600,000 army is not a small number, and it is impossible for them to be concentrated together for training. As for the distribution of the 600,000 army, Qin Hao''s final decision was:
Jingzhou 100,000
Sizhou 150,000
Bingzhou 200,000
Hetao 150,000
The Qin army''s arrangement was still very reasonable.
The Qin army will not expand south for a long time in the future, so Jingzhou will occupy the least amount of troops this time.
Bingzhou has nine counties, the largest territory, the largest population, and is also a bridgehead for the battle against Jizhou, so it directly accounts for one-third of the total army.
Sizhou and Hetao are in line with the rules.
Bingzhou and Hetao are more suitable for training cavalry, so Qin Hao placed all 200,000 cavalry in these two places for training, and after the cavalry is completed, he will be transferred to other areas to change defenses.
Qin Hao’s big move in Luoyang naturally could not be concealed by the princes from all over the country.
After Qin Hao was able to save himself, he only disarmament and transferred to an official, all the princes in various places breathed a sigh of relief.
The terrifying figure of more than 700,000 to 800,000 Qin troops made all the princes breathless. Although they all knew that Qin Hao would sooner or later, no one could hold on to the military raising structure during the war, but that day had not arrived yet.
Now Qin Hao has finally disarmament. Now the princes from all over the world, especially those who are neighbors with Qin Hao, can finally have a good sleep.
