Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1400 Disarmament Preparations
Chapter 1398: Disarmament and preparation for war
In troubled times, all political deployments are for future military operations.

Qin Hao's large-scale mobilization and appointment of officials this time is actually to allow the Qin army to develop better in the military, so after the internal affairs are rectified, the army will be reorganized.

In order to quickly defeat Wang Mang and Yang Lin who was entrenched in Yewang City, and then unify Sizhou, Qin Hao had to recruit Liang army prisoners on a large scale, which made Jingbei use four counties to bear the consumption of 30 troops.

Although Qin Hao's foundation accumulated in Jingbei is quite rich, it was almost exhausted in the Sizhou Unification War.

In order to defeat Temujin and keep the Hetao area, the Jin army had to recruit 30 more troops. Bingzhou and Hetao alone supported 60 troops to fight Yuanmeng. One battle, but the background of Bingzhou and Hetao was also wiped out.

Let's put it this way, it is now the second year of Chuping (192), and Qin Hao is already 22 years old.

Since the first year of Zhongping (190), Qin Hao has been fighting east and west, and has fought for two consecutive years.

In the past two years, Qin Hao unified Sizhou and Bingzhou, defeated Yuanmeng, kept Hetao, and achieved unprecedented feats. It was also lit up.

Because of the possession of Tiangong's treasure, the current Qin army is not short of money, but it is seriously short of food, and it is short of all three states.

The current Qin army may not even be able to support a battle with a scale of 5 people, so it must be cultivated to recover its vitality.

After the unification of Qin and Jin, in order to deter Yuanmeng and the princes from all over the country, the Qin army temporarily retained a large number of troops.

Not counting the army that has suffered casualties in the war, it is just the number of all troops in the establishment:

Now among the Qin Army, the number of troops belonging to the Qin Department is nearly 30;

The strength of the Jin Dynasty is nearly 45 (of which 20 are militias);
The troops belonging to the Liang family are nearly [-];
Not belonging to any faction, there are as many as [-] elite battalions directly under Qin Hao's direct control.

Jingsi Binghe's four lands and twenty counties supported an army of 85 troops. Although it was only a figure on the establishment, there were not so many people in reality, but it is also conceivable how tight the Qin army's finances were.

Although the current Qin army is large in number, due to the bloated combat power of the system and the complicated composition, the combat power of the army has seriously declined.

In addition, the consumption of raising so many troops also overwhelmed the Qin army's logistics.

The current Qin army is mobilizing the ultimate force during the war, so this is only 85 troops, and it is impossible to support so many troops only by relying on Jingsi's combined three prefectures, one land and twenty counties, so it is necessary to rectify The army is in dire straits.

After the transfer and appointment of officials, Qin Hao immediately summoned Liu Bowen and other military advisers, as well as senior military officials, for a three-day meeting.

The content of this meeting is to streamline the army, that is, to disarm and reorganize the army.

In the end, after the meeting, Qin Hao decided to eliminate the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and retain the elite. He directly reduced the army by 25 at one time, and only retained the regular army of 60.

The output of Qin Hao's 85 counties is somewhat insufficient to raise an army of 60, but the consumption of [-] regular troops is still affordable.

After the major disarmament, the Qin army will not be so bloated, and after all the old and weak are eliminated, the overall combat effectiveness of the Qin army will also be improved. As long as it takes a year or two of training, it may not be impossible to reach the level of combat before the heroes challenge Dong. power level.

Disarmament is just the beginning. After disarmament, the next step is to reorganize the army.

Among the 60 regular troops, the proportion of infantry, cavalry, and crossbowmen is also the top priority of this military policy.

In the Battle of Hetao, the Qin and Jin armies used 12 cavalry, of which [-] were cavalry from the Ming army.

After the war, only 12 of the [-] cavalry remained, with nearly half of the casualties.

Relying on [-] cavalry alone is not enough to deter foreigners, and considering that cavalry is needed to conquer Hebei, and after unifying Hebei, cavalry is also needed to protect northern Xinjiang.

So this time when the Qin army was reorganizing, other armies were disarming, and only the cavalry was expanding.

Cavalry is definitely the top priority in future wars, and a large number of horses were seized in this Battle of Hetao, so Qin Hao decided to directly expand the number of cavalry to 20, making cavalry account for one-third of the total force.

With 20 cavalry in hand, Qin Hao will become the prince with the largest number of cavalry. Even Dong Zhuo, who had 10,000+ Xiliang iron cavalry, is far behind him.

In addition, as long as these 20 cavalry are in hand, when Qin Hao controls Hebei and borders the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, he no longer has to fear the soldiers of the Manchu Eight Banners cavalry. The 20 cavalry is enough to protect the safety of the entire northern Xinjiang.

As for the crossbowmen, they are also a kind of infantry. In addition, there are also crossbowmen among the cavalry. At the critical moment, the crossbowmen of the Qin army can also be used as infantry, so the proportion of crossbowmen in the infantry is equally important.

After deliberation, Qin Hao decided to arm and train 40 crossbowmen out of 20 infantry, and to equip and train [-] crossbowmen out of [-] cavalry.

With this arrangement, the Qin army will have 20 crossbowmen of various types in the future, and the current total number of crossbows in the Qin army is only [-], and the gap in the crossbows has reached nearly half. It is impossible to completely fill such a large gap.

As for the arrangement of 40 infantry, it is simple, nothing more than training, changing clothes and so on.

60 troops is not a small number, and it is impossible to gather them all together for training. Regarding the distribution of 60 troops, Qin Hao finally made the decision:
Jingzhou one hundred thousand
Sizhou 15

Bingzhou 20

Hetao 15

Qin Jun's arrangement is still very reasonable.

The Qin army will not expand southward for a long time in the future, so this time the allocation of troops to Jingzhou occupies the least amount of troops.

Bingzhou has nine counties, the largest territory and the largest population, and it is also the bridgehead for the Jizhou campaign, so it directly accounts for one-third of the total army.

Sizhou and Hetao are quite satisfactory.

Bingzhou and Hetao are more suitable for cavalry training, so Qin Hao put all 20 cavalry in these two places for training, and after the cavalry is trained, they will be transferred to other areas to change defenses.

Qin Hao's big move in Luoyang naturally couldn't be hidden from the princes from all over the world.

When Qin Hao could only disarm and transfer officials, all the princes from all over the country breathed a sigh of relief.

The terrifying number of seven to eight million Qin troops made all the princes breathless. Although they all knew that Qin Hao would disarm his army sooner or later, after all, no one could last long in the wartime military structure, but that day has not yet come. .

Now that Qin Hao has finally disarmed, the princes all over the world, especially those who are neighbors with Qin Hao, can finally sleep well.
