"Who do you think can win with Brother Yunqi?" Li Xuanba squatted beside me, looking at the sand table curiously. As for my wife, she has now gone to the military camp to patrol again, and this girl has no time to have peace.
"I think it's hard to decide the outcome. Although the Western Turks are slightly better in strength, the West still needs to face powerful enemies, such as Persia, so it is impossible for him to come in the whole army. At most, he will dispatch 300,000 string control men. In addition, Xue Yantuo in the north is not a good person. If the Western Turks lure them for profit, they may still be able to get 100,000 soldiers."
"But the Eastern Turks are definitely going to fight to the death. Even if the throne was seized due to the death of Chuluo Khan, the Western Turks' move will actually make the Eastern Turks unite in this special period.
"Brother Gong said it is right, they are going to fight to the death." I nodded. I can't remember any conflicts between the Western Turks and the Eastern Turks in history, but I believe that the younger brother of Chuluo Khan is not a kind person.
This guy is fierce and cruel, warlike and bloodthirsty. Unfortunately, it cannot affect the replacement of nomadic people for the time being. However, with this guy, I think that the Western Turks' plan to expedition in the east will eventually end up in a defeat.
The only question is whether the Chinese Empire can take advantage of the Turkic wars to make itself stronger.
"Okay, everyone, let's put the chat aside for the time being. Let's talk about the next feint plan and the military reorganization plan." Wei Yunqi clapped his hands and signaled that these guys would focus their attention.
Seeing everyone quiet, I stood up: "At present, regardless of the reserve, the total force of our army has reached 650,000. This number is too much compared to the territory we currently have. What is important is that non-border areas such as Guanzhong and Guanbei are in counties and counties, there is no need to retain too many guards..."
"What I mean is to eliminate some of the guards and let them retire. Their retirement destination will become guards from all over the country. It turns out that there are too many recruits that are not suitable for them. Those people still retain the style of being officials and being masters in the past, and doing things worse than gangsters. These people should be cleared out. Of course, they will not be completely cut at once, but starting from Chang'an and cutting from top to bottom."
"Of course, I also give them the chance to choose from those who have been cut down. When they commit crimes, they may be imprisoned, or they may participate in various construction projects."
There are more and more soldiers, and every land occupied, it will increase by tens of thousands or even tens of thousands. Now, Guanzhong has only a population of eight million, but it needs to support more than 500,000 troops. This number seems to me too big.
The only thing that makes me more pleased is that there are more than 1.5 million reserves that do not require the court to spend money on their military uniforms and weapons at most. However, since they are compulsory military service, they do not need to spend any military pay.
Unless they become regular soldiers or guards, the court will pay them a salary, which is equivalent to turning from an amateur soldier to a professional soldier.
At least 50,000 troops must be cut, which is my expected goal. This is quite beneficial to the future, or to the Chinese Empire. If the number of soldiers is too large compared to those engaged in industry, commerce and agriculture, it will inevitably affect the development of the empire.
My opinion has been recognized by most military generals. After all, the army is the most important factor in ensuring national stability and unity. However, excessive number of troops will also affect the production and development of society.
After seizing Shuzhong, Qu Tutong, the first general of the Chinese Empire, expressed concerns about this. This surprised me a little. I really didn't expect that a military officer from the Sui and Tang Dynasties could keenly detect this problem.
However, there was a saying made by the ancients that the soldiers were in essence but not in breadth. Nowadays, the army of the Chinese Empire would be free to be carried out, even if it was a security division, it was far superior to the elite troops of this era in terms of equipment or training.
It can be said that if a guard division is used to fight, even if it is the strong army of Wagang Village or Wang Shichong's guard, it is not a match for the guard division of the Chinese Empire in front of this young master.
Well, I admit that I'm bragging again, but from the perspective of equipment and training, the armies at all levels of the Chinese Empire are definitely the strongest in the world.
Nowadays, field troops in various places are enough, and it is possible to expand them in the future. However, the security forces will be further reduced. After all, there is no need to retain too many troops. Because, for every land occupied, a certain number of local people will be recruited to join the army.
Whether it is Shu, Western Qin, Hexi, or Lingnan, which is about to be attacked, there are still more than 50,000 troops under my son's command in Jiaozhi. In this way, the number of troops is somewhat over. Even if Guanzhong is so prosperous and supports too many troops, the logistics pressure is terrible.
Fortunately, the entire Guanzhong area, Hehexi and the West Qin land were completely connected by cement straight roads. Otherwise, the supply of these more than 500,000 troops alone would be enough to be in a state of ⊥ The empire was in a state of turmoil. If the logistics of more than 500,000 troops were fully mandated, at least 300,000 civilian skills would be maintained to ensure that. If you go to war, then for every 100,000 troops sent, at least 300,000 to 50,000 civilian skills would be required to increase the support of 300,000 to 50,000 civilian skills.
However, the number of civil wares needed by Yang Guangyuan is thousands of miles away is even more uncountable. As the place where soldiers and civil wares are recruited, the land of Shandong, Hebei and Shandong, naturally could not withstand such manpower consumption. In the end, the wars of the Great Sui Dynasty rose everywhere and eventually collapsed.
Nowadays, if the consumption of 500,000 troops in Guanzhong area only requires 5,000 crossbows, 500 eight-wheeled carriages, 2,000 grooms, and three shifts of transportation, it can ensure the daily supplies of the Guanzhong army.
Look at how big the difference is? In the past, you used hundreds of thousands of civil rituals to transport grain and supplies. These civil rituals are not gods. They need to eat and drink. The expenses on the way alone are probably enough for the army.
As the territory is large, transportation is a big problem. Although the land of Bashu is more rugged than the roads in Guanzhong, and most of the cement straight roads have not yet been connected, fortunately, the water system is dense here, so with the help of water transportation, transportation here can be smooth enough.
Another problem is that the Xiqin region, Hexi region and Guanbei region brought to Yan'an will be classified into one military region, with twelve divisions garrisons, of which the guard forces reached three divisions.
The Guanzhong area will become a separate Jingzhao Military Region. In addition to the Imperial Guards, there are originally five divisions of security forces, as well as the fourth army of my daughter and two newly formed troops, and there are three divisions stationed in Tongguan.
In other words, the number of troops in Jingzhao area has exceeded 200,000. Of course, these newly formed troops and my wife's Fourth Army will go to battle in the future. Even the Imperial Guards may go on a battle, and only the Chang'an Guards and the Tongguan Army will not be used.
However, the security forces of the five divisions are too many compared to Guanzhong, so it is expected to be reduced in the security forces of three divisions, and the security forces of two divisions will be reduced from the Hexi and Guanbei regions.
As for the Tongguan troops, in the future where the Central Plains attacks, the garrison troops in Tongguan will be sufficient to maintain it. Therefore, at this stage, only five divisions will be reduced, and most of the soldiers of these five divisions will be retired from active service, and some will become Yu's department of the local armed forces, specifically responsible for the reserve work.
The other part will be converted into local police and prosecutors and court system personnel. It is expected that after completing these tasks, the local prosecutors, courts and police systems under this son's rule will be fully deployed.
It is not like now that there are only courts, procuratorates, and newly occupied areas in the central region, such as the Bashu land. Although this system has been built now, there are very few personnel. In many counties, there are less than ten people in the court system. According to my ideas and the eyes I made at the beginning, each county will have at least three judges, five to seven prosecutors, and five to ten sheriffs.
Therefore, after receiving three to five months of training, these 50,000 retired soldiers have taken up their posts, which are far more conscious than the scholars of this era. After all, military laws were established under the supervision of this young master, and when implemented, they are far more strict than the official system of this era.
In addition, in the Bashu area, the Southbound Army now reaches 170,000. After the war, a Bashu military region will be built in the Bashu area. However, the number of troops will be about ten divisions. They are used to target the local barbarians in southern Yunnan and the Indochina Peninsula, as well as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is now a pot of porridge.
On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Songzan Yubu has just been born a few years ago. His father Langrissonzan is now Zanpu, that is, among the kings. Now his father Langrissonzan has achieved great success and conquered Senbo, Tibetan and other countries.
Now, we are still looking more than one. However, in eight or nine years, his father Langri Songzan will be poisoned by a traitor. Well, I am now preparing and not thinking about Tubo. However, Songzan Yubu, a little boy, cannot realize his dream of becoming a future wise Tubo king. Because, I am here.
Time slowly moved, and finally, New Year's Day was approaching. At the beginning of the second year of the Chinese Empire, Wang Chongshi personally led an army of 200,000 out of Luoyang, and his troops were aimed directly at Jingxiang.
