Chapter 526 Mulan Military Parade
When Ningchu first formed cavalry to fight, the main object of study was France. Therefore, whether it was the introduction of Arabian horses or the training of cuirassier regiments, they were all learning from France's cavalry construction ideas.

For the French, the battlefield environment they are familiar with is the European continent after all. Usually, the cavalry does not fight as an independent arm, but cooperates with infantry and artillery. The task of the cavalry is usually very simple, that is, on the battlefield Launch a charge on the ground, and then completely smash the enemy.

But in today's Mongolia, the cavalry will gradually become a truly independent combat unit, so the combat method of the cuirassier regiment will appear too simple, but the mounted infantry regiment can carry a certain amount of artillery, plus the way of fighting on horseback , can make better use of the superiority of the Fuhan army in firepower. As for the usual maneuvers, horses can be used to bite the Mongolian cavalry.

"Your Majesty, if Mongolian horses are used to form cavalry infantry, the cost will be greatly reduced, and the number of war horses we can obtain will also increase."

The privy envoy Ning Zhongyi said softly, his strategic vision is also very keen, and he naturally saw the advantages of Mongolian horses on the Mongolian battlefield, so he very much supported Ning Yu's idea.

To some extent, compared to the expensive Arabian horses, the Mongolian horses, which are so cheap that they are almost cheap, have the basis for large-scale equipment. Once you have enough Mongolian horses, you will be able to better improve your performance on the Mongolian battlefield. combat status.

Of course, the horse breed reform plan that has been going on before will not stop. After all, the Mongolian horse can only adapt to the limited battlefield environment.

Ning Yu chuckled, "Private Envoy, if you were to compete with Zhungeer and the Russians on the grassland, how many mounted infantry do you need?"

Everyone's heart trembled when they heard it. This is a sign that the emperor has made up his mind, and now the inquiry is only to finalize the result.

Ning Zhongyi's temperament is calm and cautious, so naturally he would not speak easily, but he pondered for a while before softly saying: "To be on the safe side, I need 24 Mongolian horses, one man with two horses, to form 12 cavalry and infantry."

"12 cavalry infantry is nothing more than the size of twelve cavalry divisions. It's really not too much." Ning Yu nodded, but the 24 Mongolian horses are not easy to handle, even if they are supplied by Monan Mongolia , I am afraid it will be difficult to get together in a short time.

In addition to horses, military expenditure is another big head, especially this year, the Korean War and the Burma War were carried out at the same time. Although the harvest was quite rich, Ning Chuguang gained [-] million silver dollars from Shengjing , But it can't stand the consumption of war and the expenditure of domestic industrial construction.

Especially since the implementation of the industrial construction plan, the money of the Ningchu court has flowed away like running water, but no income can be seen in a short period of time, just like the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway to be built, which requires a lot of iron materials to The production of iron materials needs to expand the production scale of Ningchu's current iron factory, and also needs to increase the supply capacity of the mine.

This is just one of them, like the factory area under construction in the outskirts of Nanjing, and the construction of roads and docks in various places, etc. After all the terms and conditions, there are places where money is swallowed almost everywhere.

"There can only be so many people. If there are more, the logistics line will not be able to support it."

Ning Yu heaved a long sigh, fighting inland is not the same as fighting on the grasslands, no wonder Zhungeer dispatched 6 people and almost exhausted the national strength of the whole country, it is really more than enough, and Ning Chu has nothing but to deal with Zhungar In addition to the Geer Ministry, it is also necessary to consider the reaction of the Russians and the Qianlong Emperor who fled there.

In a sense, the test of this battle is not the ability of the commanders of both sides at all, but to see which side can survive better. Therefore, the key to determining the outcome of the war is still the logistical capabilities of both sides.

Fortunately, however, Ning Chu has achieved the best possible situation in terms of separating the army's logistics. In addition to bidding through bidding, all expenditures of the army need to be signed by the cabinet. Therefore, the cabinet will conduct strict review and review of military expenditures.

Of course, even so, there are still cases where some people get corrupted, but such cases are rare after all, especially in addition to involving the cabinet and the Privy Council, all funds will also be managed by the central bank, and there are The Audit Department of the Academy will be stationed in the investigation, so it is difficult for other people except for the top bigwigs to carry out corruption in such a complicated system.

In order to prevent superior officers from corrupting subordinate soldiers in the army, Ning Yu even asked the Privy Council to create a separate file for each soldier. All files will be reviewed by the cabinet and sent to the soldiers' personal accounts separately. The account is opened and stored by the individual at the bank designated by the central bank. In addition to withdrawing it by himself, it can also be sent directly to his immediate family members, so as to avoid the situation where superior military officers will deduct military pay.

The layer upon layer of structure processing naturally makes it impossible for some people to start, and it can ensure that every tael of silver in the Ningchu court can be spent as much as possible.

It is as if there was a joke in the capital during the Northern Expedition, which meant that Ningchu only needed 500 million taels of silver per year to support 30 fully equipped Fuhan troops, while the Qing Dynasty needed 3000 million taels of silver to feed ten thousand taels of silver. Wan's so-called Eight Banners New Army didn't even have enough guns for them.

Therefore, the Northern Expedition was doomed from the very beginning. The Fuhan army who used only 500 million taels of silver to feed 30 troops was definitely better than the Qing army who used 3000 million taels to feed the [-] new troops. Ting is more capable of fighting.

Sure enough, shortly after the joke was circulated, the Qing court suffered disastrous defeats one after another, and the final fight to the death at Baliqiao became an even bigger joke.

Seeing that it was mid-October, there were a large number of people in the direction of the capital marching in the direction of Mulan Paddock, especially the imperial guards who were exclusive to the emperor were finally dispatched, but it made all the people in the capital suddenly realize that the emperor finally wanted to It's time to go on tour.

Strictly speaking, Ning Yu was not an emperor who grew up in the deep palace, and he often went out for inspections, but most of the time he came to the capital by sea, and he did not really conduct inspections in the north by land, nor did he conduct inspections. The extravagance made the people feel a little strange.

An emperor who doesn't like laboring people and wasting money really gives people an unusual feeling
Ning Yu was sitting in the imperial chariot that was driving smoothly, wearing a warm enough fur blanket, and holding a book in his hand to read carefully. For him, this tour is naturally not related to playing Instead, a military parade will be held in the Mulan paddock to frighten the hearts of the Monan Mongolians.

Mulan paddock has always been a grassland with lush water and grass in the past, and it was also a place where emperors of the Qing court liked to practice Mulan autumn. In particular, Emperor Kangxi even opened up a vast hunting ground in order to train troops here, which is the earliest Mulan paddock, and gradually repaired, formed today's huge scale.

According to Kangxi's habit, he would lead the princes and ministers and elite soldiers of the Eight Banners here almost every year for shooting and hunting, so as to exercise the strength of the Eight Banners. However, Emperor Yongzheng did not dare to leave Beijing rashly due to his short enthronement time and unstable foundation. Therefore, Mulan Qiuxi's activities were suspended.

Until today, Mulan Paddock, which has been silent for several years, has once again become bustling. In addition to the large number of Fuhan troops stationed in Mulan Paddock, there are also the leaders of the 49 Banners of the [-]th Division of Monan Mongolia, who have also brought their entourages. Arrived here, came to watch the military parade in Ningchu.

The so-called military parade is essentially an act of showing off force, achieving the effect of defeating others without fighting.As far as Ning Yu's personality is concerned, he doesn't like to show off so much, but when dealing with Mongolian tribes, carrots are needed, but sticks are more important, so it must be a good thing to show off his muscles properly.

Strictly speaking, since the founding of the country, the Fuhan Army has not really conducted a military parade. It is not because of other reasons. If it is carried out by the army of the Han Dynasty, it will damage the prestige of the Han army.

But this is no longer a problem now. The army that originally followed Ning Chu can be regarded as very elite. In addition to the first imperial guard division, there are also the first division of the main force and the third division of the main force. The trump card army in the Han army can fully show the brilliance of the Han army.

When these 4 people arrived at the Mulan paddock, the red uniforms they were wearing alone had already formed a red tide, which made people feel frightened, especially for the tribes of Monan Mongolia. You must realize that the force in front of the Fuhan army alone is enough to destroy them [-] times.

"Boom-thump-thump-"

One hundred military drums in the Fuhan Army lined up in three full rows. Hundreds of drummers held drumsticks in their hands and were beating rhythmically against the skinned military drums. Amidst the sound, all regiments and battalions of the Fuhan Army stepped forward, forming a neat row in the Mulan paddock at a sufficiently dizzying speed.

Although there is still a certain distance between the divisions of the Fuhan Army and the main venue, those Monan Mongolian princes sitting on the stage could not see the detailed appearance of the Fuhan Army at all, but just from the mobilization of tens of thousands of people, They have been able to show their own magnificent momentum, which makes the Mongolian princes can't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

"The parade begins!"

As the drums stopped, the privy envoy Ning Zhongyi, as the marshal presiding over the military parade, gave Ning Yu a military salute, and then decisively issued the order to start the military parade, and the orderlies waiting on the stage also decisively Waving the flag in hand.

"Boom!"

I only heard dozens of artillery placed under the parade firing at once, followed by a clear and loud noise, and saw dozens of black spots flying in the sky, and then exploded all at once, rendering a halo in the air. Blossoming colorful flowers, but it looks really beautiful.

When the fireworks were gorgeous, the Mongolian princes hadn’t recovered from their astonishment. They only heard the sound of orderly footsteps. A total of 500 people formed a square formation, and they were walking towards the general platform with uniform steps. Walking in the direction, they carried muskets on their shoulders and a bayonet with a cold light on them.

No one introduced this army, but everyone inside the Fuhan Army knew that they were the imperial guards and the most elite and brave troops in the entire army. According to the relevant regulations of the Fuhan Army, there were no soldiers on the battlefield. In the case of making personal second-class merit, he is not qualified to participate in the selection of the Imperial Guard Battalion at all.

You must know that in the current Fuhan army, personal second-class merit is almost equivalent to beheading more than ten enemy soldiers on the battlefield before they have a chance to obtain it. Soldiers who have achieved second-class personal merit almost all came from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood.

Sure enough, when the imperial guard camp got closer to the stands, the Mongolian princes would feel more surprised or even terrified, because the five hundred soldiers in red military uniforms in front of them were almost stepping on the same drumbeat, heading towards this place. Walking while walking, his gestures are like one person, exuding a breathtaking momentum.

Ning Yu looked at the imperial guard battalion in front of him with a smile, feeling a little bit emotional in his heart. When he led troops to fight in the past, his personal guard battalion was one of the two sharp knives. The guard battalion and the grenadier battalion took on this important task, and their casualties were also the highest in the entire army.

The soldiers looked at Ning Yu on the podium with admiration in their eyes. For them, almost everyone had been received by Ning Yu, and their lives had already belonged to His Majesty the Emperor.

The leader of the Mongolian tribes in Chahar, Zarut, was a little surprised. Looking at the army in front of him, he couldn't help but feel frightened. The former Chahar Eight Banners all died in the battle with the Fuhan army. On the day Du Tongzhan died, he was shot dozens of times, and his whole body was almost turned into a gourd of blood. He was beaten to death without even pulling out his knife.

"It really is an elite teacher! The Eight Banners are not wronged to lose!"

Zarut sighed deeply in his heart, just from the first army in front of him, he has already seen the extraordinaryness of the Fuhan army. This difference from the system almost makes him no longer have any pride s things.

After the guard battalion passed the general platform, there was another sound of orderly footsteps, but they were even more unusual. Not only were they wearing uniform red military uniforms, but they were also wearing plate armor, with four grenades hanging from their waists. , with a sharp saber on his back, his aura is not lost to the guard battalion in front, and even the murderous look in their eyes is stronger than that in front.

"It's terrible!" Zalut swallowed involuntarily.
