Chapter 118 Super-level recruit camp, the era of heavy infantry is coming!
The alliance gave up the two counties so easily, but it chilled the hearts of the lords of the entire valley province.
"They can give up Macon County without hesitation today, but can they give up Choctaw County tomorrow? And the day after tomorrow, can they give up the entire River Valley Province?"
This is a practical problem they must face.
to this end.
The lords of the River Valley Province formed a separate group to discuss the matter together.
"We can't completely count on the coalition forces, we have to find ways to protect ourselves."
"I think the city building plan proposed by Rutgers before is very reliable. Without a city to rely on, it is impossible to withstand Chang'an's heavy cavalry simply by relying on horseback, trenches, and traps."
"Then build a city!"
"That's right, a two-pronged approach. Each county should build at least one city. If conditions permit, we can build two or three cities."
"Now is the time to show our internal unity."
Crisis is present.
The lords of the entire river valley province have reached unprecedented unity and are ready to stick together for warmth.
Complete the city building plan as quickly as possible.
Each county selects the most powerful and prestigious territory, and at the same time, considers the geographical factors that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and locks in the city building location.
Then the lords of the county jointly funded the stone materials and labor to start the construction of the city wall.
And the sooner the better.
During this process, each county has actually completed a kind of internal integration in disguise, changing from the original model of fighting and competing with each other to a quasi-city-state system.
The speed of its integration and annexation is even faster than the integration of towns and villages in Zunlong Kingdom.
It was also forced.
The lords are not stupid. Faced with the threat from Chang'an, instead of "moving" and relying on others, it is better to complete the bottom-up integration on their own and become a part of the "collective".
In this way, you can at least keep a piece of your own land and preserve your authority and wealth to the maximum extent.
………
Chang'an City.
After handling official duties, Tang Jing came to the super-level recruit camp that had been upgraded.
Let's see what's new.
[Super-level recruit camp: The elite of the second-level sword and shield soldiers and elite spearmen can be transferred to the third-level heavy infantry after passing the test. The transfer fee for each heavy infantry is 10 gold coins]
[Note: Heavy infantry has extremely high requirements for the physical fitness of soldiers. Only high-quality soldiers with high innate qualities can meet the job transfer requirements]
[Note: After the job transfer is completed, the physical fitness of the warriors will be improved to a certain extent]
If we say that the sword and shield soldiers, elite spearmen and elite archers who have been transferred for the second time are elite infantry, they can be "manufactured" in batches through job transfer.
Then the heavy infantry is the elite among the elite, and you may not be able to successfully change your profession even if you spend money.
You have to pass the test first.
"Then let's try it first."
As long as there is a chance of success, it is better than having no clue before.
Tang Jing immediately asked his soldiers to send an order to Zhang Liao, the commander of the garrison division, to bring all four elite spear battalions under the garrison division to the super-level recruit camp for testing.
One hour later.
Four elite spearmen battalions have assembled in the small square in front of the super-level recruit camp.
Queue up for testing.
The results were not optimistic. Of the two thousand elite spearmen, only 212 passed the test and successfully transferred.
It's almost a tenth ratio.
The elite spearmen under the garrison division are generally of good quality and have actual combat experience, but still only one-tenth of the soldiers meet the standards.
It can be seen that the third level heavy infantry is indeed a threshold.
It is not a luxury to have all the heavy infantry under the infantry division in a short time. A more realistic pursuit should be to equip each standard infantry brigade and mixed infantry brigade with a heavy infantry battalion.
Just below the brigade-level establishment, a new battalion establishment needs to be added.
Perfect solution!
Once the first and second divisions have completed their mopping up missions and the follow-up army expansion has been implemented as scheduled, we can focus on the job transfer of the third-tier heavy infantry.
The glory points accumulated before have also been put to use.
………
After settling matters in the new barracks, Tang Jing was about to return to the Lord's Mansion when he suddenly received a call from Paul the Octopus in his mind, saying that he wanted to offer him something good.
It is estimated that Paul hunted some monster in the sea and dropped the crystal core.
Ever since the last time Tang Jing set his sights on Paul the octopus in order to advance his territory, Paul had been very active, fearing that he would be betrayed by his shameless master one day.
Transfer to Merlo Pier.
Since the dock was built, Chang'an has basically had no foreign trade demand, so it seems very deserted.
There are only rows of small fishing boats docked.
A small fish market gradually developed in the open space of the pier.
Paul the octopus was waiting at the edge of the pier, offering two level 4 crystal cores and a gold treasure box as if they were treasures. As a peak level 4 existence, Paul was an invincible existence in the offshore area.
Recently, I got two new octopus brothers, and they are living a very cool life.
“Well done!”
Tang Jing opened the treasure chest and was lucky enough to find a C-level summoning card, which was a rare compliment for Paul.
The latter was very happy.
"call!"
The battle was imminent, and Tang Jing unsurprisingly chose to summon generals again.
A flash of white light revealed a middle-aged general.
"The last general, Shi Lang, comes to see you, sir!"
Shi Lang, a famous naval general in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, was originally a general under Zheng Zhilong. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he was appointed deputy general of Tong'an. Soon he was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Tong'an and the admiral of the Southern Fujian Navy.
Because he successfully recovered Yizhou Island, he was awarded the title of General Jinghai and the title of Marquis of Jinghai.
Octopus Paul is really a blessed general, and he actually sent one of the rarest naval generals to Chang'an.
Could it be because the treasure chest fell in the sea?
Anyway.
Shi Lang's arrival finally put the preparations for the Chang'an Navy on the fast track.
This eliminates the embarrassment that Chang'an has various high-quality hardware facilities such as seaports, docks, docks, and naval training camps, but has never been able to form a serious navy.
It's simply a waste of natural resources.
After meeting each other, Tang Jing immediately decided to appoint Shi Lang as the commander-in-chief of the Chang'an Navy, responsible for the preparation of the first battleship squadron of the Chang'an Navy.
Speaking of which.
I have to mention the naval establishment.
The navy is organized based on battleships. Different battleships have different formations.
Chang'an's current main battleship is the 艨艉 battleship. A 艨艉 battleship needs to be equipped with a captain, first mate, second mate, bosun, sailor, helmsman, foreman, craftsman and other various crew members of about 120 people.
The combat force is a battalion of elite archers, wearing leather armor and equipped with spears or swords.
There is no artillery.
The captain of the battleship is called the captain of the battleship, which is equivalent to the establishment of a battalion.
Further up.
It's the battleship squadron.
A squadron of large-scale warships needs to be equipped with at least one large-scale warship as the flagship, four stern warships as the main warships, and twelve red horse boats as reconnaissance warships.
The total strength is about 3,000, which is equivalent to the establishment of a brigade.
The commander of the squadron is called Navy Chief Qian.
Further up, there are naval groups composed of several naval squadrons + coast guard districts, and naval fleets composed of several naval groups + naval bases, etc.
The commander-in-chief of the naval brigade is called the commander-in-chief of the navy.
The commander-in-chief of the naval fleet is called the naval admiral.
Due to the complicated shipbuilding process, Chang'an currently only has four warships that are close to completion, which is enough to build a squadron of large-scale warships.
And so far, we have not obtained the construction drawings of the building ship...
"The conditions are very simple, but the enemy's invasion is imminent, so I have to trouble the general to set up the first squadron of the warships as soon as possible to prepare for war. If you need anything, please speak to the Military Affairs Administration as soon as possible."
There are dense water networks around Chang'an, which is when the navy needs to play its role.
In particular, Tang Jing learned from sharing sight with Octopus Paul that there was an island not far from the water play bay that was occupied by pirates and could be used as the Chang'an Navy's first overseas base.
This was to prevent the navy from having no place to supply after the coalition forces besieged Chang'an City.
Of course it’s a race against time!
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely live up to my trust!"
After understanding the general situation, Shi Lang felt that it was okay.
"good!"
Tang Jing was very pleased.
We were ready to chat for a while, but the soldiers came to report that Mia and Bagh had returned to Chang'an City.
