Chapter 355 Preliminary determination of military training matters (4K)

After hearing Huo Shan's words, everyone's expressions eased a little, but although they won't train soldiers at the level of Yu Linhu Ben, it is estimated that it will cost a lot.

Huo Shan looked at their faces, and didn't think of words of comfort. The money was spent by the big man, not your own, and the money had to be spent.

Moreover, after the training of these [-] soldiers and horses, not to mention the future, just a battle to destroy the Huns, I don't know how much it can save.

First of all, in terms of combat power, these 30 soldiers and horses can be used as [-] to [-] ordinary cavalry.

With these [-] soldiers and horses, there is no need to mobilize more soldiers and horses. Even if they are mobilized, they are all cavalry, and no more infantry will be mobilized.

The Xiongnu's territory is very large, and it is surrounded on three sides. Unless you run north and the road is blocked, with only [-] soldiers and horses, you can sneak away and kill the Xiongnu.

Secondly, their strategy of exploiting the enemy is also to feed on the enemy, directly inserting ruthlessly into the enemy's chest, taking a big capture and taking a big prisoner.

Spend a lot of money now and spend less later.

And this is also a process of cultivating talents for the big man.

With 5 soldiers and horses, you can't always be these [-] people. A few years is too short, ten years or so, and you have to replace them one after another. Where will these replaced people go?

Naturally, he went to work in various counties, counties and townships. After ideological education, the son of heaven is close to the army. Does this count as imperial power going to the countryside?
"Let's talk about horses first. There are [-] four or five-year-old horses. I want them in a year. Is there any problem?"

"Back to Junhou, there is no problem."

Nowadays, the most important thing for a big man is horses, his own horses, horses captured by the Xiongnu, Qiang land, and the Western Regions. If there is not enough in Chang'an, they can be transferred from other places.

"Weapons and armor, bows and arrows, [-] sets of various equipment, Shaofu's side?"

"Back to Junhou, the Shaofu has accumulated more than 3 sets, and the remaining [-] and a half years can be completed before the first month of the next year."

Huo Shan nodded, the time was just right.

In the second half of this year, first go to various places to recruit soldiers, then train next year, come to Chang'an in the spring of the next year, and train for another year or two.

In this case, Chang'an will have time to prepare, and the pressure will be less.

"Food, money, meat, vegetables, Da Si Nong?"

"Back to Junhou, there is no shortage of money, and there is no problem with food. There is no problem with the food of [-] horses for three years, and the grass is still four months away."

"There is enough food and grass, and the horses have only been trained in the army for two years."

Sang Hongyang was a little embarrassed because Huo Shan misunderstood.

He arranged [-] horses to be trained in the army for three years, and the eunuch's side naturally lost [-] horses for three years.

But what Huo Shan thought was that it would only take two years, and it would be enough for the eunuch to take care of him the previous year.

But Sang Hongyang is not going to talk about this issue anymore. Anyway, he still has to prepare. It would be better to stay in the stables of the eunuchs for a year, because there are pastures in various places to graze horses, and there is less food and grass to be distributed.

However, if you train in the army, it is obviously impossible to herd animals. The barracks are located in Shanglinyuan. Although there are pastures in Shanglinyuan, there are [-] horses.

Relying on the pasture of Shanglinyuan to raise these [-] horses, the grass roots can be dug out for you to eat.

"In terms of meat, Shanglin Garden has converted several large ice storages to store meat.

In terms of meat, pig, sheep, and chicken farms have been set up in various places around Chang'an. If there is no epidemic on the current scale, it will be enough to eat for one and a half years according to the standards of Habayashi Huben in the next year. year is fine. "

Huo Shan nodded. The disease is indeed a big problem. Isn’t there a saying that if a family has a lot of wealth, the hairy ones are not counted. If you get sick in breeding, you can lose money overnight.

"No problem with meat, let's close the management, except for internal personnel, the rest are not allowed to enter, internal personnel are not allowed to go out, and food must be strictly controlled.

As for development, vigorously develop, spend money where you can spend money, and find ways to make him spend money where you can't spend money and need other aspects.

Don't be afraid to spend money, if you defeat the Huns, you will have everything.

But you don't have to worry too much, the meat consumption of the [-] army, taking a personal example, is estimated to be almost half, except for fish, which cannot be missing. "

Fish is the best choice for curing sparrow blindness in this era. Although animal liver is also effective, this is an army of [-], and what is needed is a large scale.

"promise."

"In terms of fish, there is no shortage of them. Liaodong and Qidi have a lot of production every year. After the construction and dredging of the big river waterways in the past few years, large ships can directly reach Luoyang.

After arriving in Luoyang, change to a smaller boat to reach Hongnong, and then change to a smaller boat to reach Chang'an along the Jing River.

With the salt-making method of the princes, Qidi has become a land of salt production, and Dasinong and Shaofu have many salt farms there.

The fish can be made into dried fish and transported over, so it is not afraid of spoilage. "

The waterways of the Han Dynasty at this time were extremely developed, with many rivers, and the major cities of the Han Dynasty were basically connected.

But this is just a waterway and river, not a waterway. I don't know if you can walk on it smoothly.

But the current situation is much better. Huo Shan proposed a big concept, and the craftsmen of Shaofu have also researched several large ships, and the effect is not bad.

The big Han also has a navy, and it played a big role in the battle against Liaodong.

However, the navy of the big man is no different from the landing ship without defense and counterattack. The infantry who does not get seasick is the navy.

"What about the vegetables?"

To nourish the body, it is not enough to be short of meat and food, but also to have vegetables. Even if you can't eat a lot, you have to have a little every two days.

Sang Hongyang's face immediately wrinkled, this is the most troublesome thing among these few.

Although Dahan has a lot of land, the land around Chang'an is very precious, and all they grow are grains. Even if they are grown in distant places, vegetables are not easy to store, and they will rot if they are not careful.

Even if there are people who can grow vegetables, they are very few compared to the size of the [-] army. After all, the big men in the past few years didn't have to eat, so who can eat vegetables!

Sang Hongyang saluted, opening his mouth not knowing what to say.

Huo Shan bent over and got closer to Sang Hongyang:
"No one grows? Can't grow? Can't store it?"

Sang Hongyang's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly:

"All, all."

Huo Tan looked at Sang Hongyang and sighed in his heart.

Sang Hongyang, a genius master in farming who is a genius in adjusting the plate, asked him to study growing vegetables, which was really difficult for him.

One must know that he has entered the palace because of his talents since he was a teenager, and he has become a Langguan. I don't think he is very good at farming, but he still knows a little bit, but let's forget about growing vegetables!
"I know a little bit about this. I will write it into a book some day, and let the prime minister spread it to the villages around Chang'an, teaching the people to plant, and the people to plant. The court will pay for it, and it is okay to pay taxes. If you can spend money, you can spend it.

The money spent, especially the money spent on the people, is called money, and the money kept in the warehouse is not called money.

Of course, the imperial court had to grow it themselves. "

Sang Hongyang responded with a smile, and Huo Shan stepped out, so he was 1 rest assured.

Huo Shan actually doesn't know much about growing vegetables, but the vegetables grown in this era are only cabbage and radishes, and he knows a little about this.

It really is cabbage and radish, cabbage is called cabbage, and radish is called manjing.

As for storing vegetables, this is simple, just dig a cellar.

There is no need to dig a cellar in winter, just put it outside and freeze it. After eating it before spring, you can also pickle sauerkraut and pickles, which can be stored.

Huo Shan thought about it carefully, and immediately sighed:

"It costs a lot!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, the [-] soldiers and horses were just one gold-swallowing beast.

Now that the big man is rich, life is much better. If it were before, not to mention building the city, training troops, and preparing for the war against the Hungarians at the same time, just this one item alone would probably drag the big man down.

But now the situation is not much. Dahan actually didn’t cut down too much, but he did a lot of open source, and Dahan has indeed become rich.

But this kind of wealth can't support such a large-scale move, mainly because Huo Shan has gained too much floating wealth after the three battles.

The money must be spent in order to become the national power of a great man. As for how to become a national power, take Xiucheng as an example.

In the past, we used to spend money on materials and then conscript corvee, which was a waste of national power.

But spending money to hire workers is different. Although the court has spent a lot of money, the money will flow back to the court after benefiting the people.

Huo Shan clapped his hands and rubbed the corners of his brows:

"The general direction is basically finished, and everyone is almost tired, let's rest when we talk about the last item today, and discuss the details in two days.

Speaking of recruitment just now, there are four places in total, one in Hexi, the six counties in Guanzhong, one in the northern counties, one in Shandong, and one in the south.

My plan is this. Tomorrow, the Crown Prince and I will go down to reward the Habayashi Huben. After we are done, we will transfer two thousand Habayashi and two thousand Huben, which will be divided into four parts.

One part has a thousand soldiers and horses, five hundred feathered forests, two hundred and five tiger and ben heavy cavalry, and two hundred and five tiger and ben light cavalry.

Then these four parts went to four places, conducted the first wave of recruitment a year ago, and then sent them home. Yulin Huben, including the two thousand from Chang'an, also went home to celebrate the New Year.

Then set off again in the spring of next year, convening them in various places for simple military discipline training, and then transferred to Chang'an for unified training.

Therefore, each of these four places needs a person in charge. "

After Huo Shan finished speaking, he looked at the people in the hall.

As soon as Huo Shan finished speaking, Zhao Puonu and Cao Zong quickly raised their hands and said in unison:
"Your Majesty, count me in."

That's what they came for.

The others also raised their hands in the next moment, Sang Hongyang and Wang Wei almost couldn't help raising their hands, and Gongsun Jingsheng raised his hand the highest.

They naturally know that this is a good job!
Apart from other things, the position of the instructor of the Tianzi's army is very beneficial, and this matter may also be related to the selection of generals who will attack the Huns in the future.

Huo Shan ignored the others, and directly pointed to Cao Zong:

"Okay, let's count you as one. Let's take the Hexi side of the six counties of Guanzhong. The training ground is in Tianshui County. It's a little closer than other places. I can take care of it for you."

"promise."

Cao Zong complied happily.

Huo Shan turned his head and looked at Zhao Puonu again, and said with disgust:
"Forget it, just stay by my side honestly, let you go out to train soldiers, I'm afraid you will turn the soldiers into bandits."

Zhao Ponu pursed his lips and put his hands down, he knew it was the case, but he was not disappointed, after all, he didn't have any hope, and being able to stay by Champion Hou's side all the time was what he felt was the best for him.

Huo Shan looked at Shangguan Jie again, smiled and said:

"It's the same with you. You are a Guanglu Qing, so you should guard Your Majesty well. Being the second of Jiu Qing, this is the price you have to pay."

Shangguan Jie reacted immediately and shouted loudly:
"Doesn't that mean I have no part in fighting the Huns?"

Everyone didn't speak, they all looked at him with smiles, and Huo Shan did the same.

Shangguan Jie cried out in grief and indignation:
"Your Majesty, you can't do this. My greatest ambition in life is to destroy the Xiongnu."

"Yo, you still have such a great ambition, not bad."

Seeing Shangguan Jie pretending to be crying, Huo Shan said:

"Don't worry, I have your share."

Then Huo Shan looked at Lu Bode:
"You should go to the south on the old road, where you are more familiar."

"promise."

Lu Bode was also very happy, and was not dissatisfied because he was not able to go to Beidi and Shandong.

He is the most familiar with the South, and he is the most comfortable here, and he is the best at recruiting troops. In the other two places, the Northland is better. He is from the Northland, but Shandong is really unfamiliar.

Although they are all under the command of Champion Hou, and no one dares to stab them when they go, but everything is just in case.

"Su Xian, go to Beidi, Li Ling, go to Shandong.

Li Ling, your task is the heaviest. There are various forces mixed up there, and there are many princes and states. You have to remember one thing, and you will not give face to anyone.

Who wants to insert someone in, cut off his hand, then cut off his head, and then hand over his family, even the royal family is the same.

If you want to join the emperor's army today, will you prepare to rebel tomorrow?
The common people are the main ones, but the children of eunuchs and big families are not rejected, but they must have ability, ambition, and loyalty. It is more difficult for them to enter this army than ordinary people.

I know you're proud, but don't look down on them. "

Li Ling immediately blushed and thickened his neck:
"Don't insult me ​​like this. I have never underestimated the common people. I, Li Ling, value them the most."

This is also a fact.

"Okay, my fault, I admit it."

Only then did Li Ling calm down, Huo Shan gave Li Ling a white look, seeing how promising you are.

"The same goes for the three of you. Whoever dares to intervene in the recruitment notice will be dealt with in the same way."

The four stood up and saluted together:
"The ministers must live up to the entrustment of the king, and the expectations of your majesty."

Huo Shan nodded in satisfaction, this is the future pillar of the country!

Then he took a look at Huo Shan after he settled the person down, and secretly retracted his raised hand, Gongsun Jingsheng, who was calm on the surface, but extremely embarrassed and slightly aggrieved in his heart.

As for how Huo Shan saw it, he grew up together, who doesn't know who!

"That's all right, let's leave, Gongsun Jingsheng and Cao Zong stay here!"

After everyone left, Huo Shan got up and stretched:

"Let's go, let's go to my uncle's house for dinner. I haven't been there yet."

This time I went not only to visit Wei Qing and Pingyang, but also to discuss about Cao Zong. If Cao Zong wanted to reduce his food, he had to inform Princess Pingyang.
