Feed the whole people, I just lie down and win

Chapter 118 Super-ranked new barracks, the era of heavy infantry is coming!

The alliance easily gave up the two counties, but it chilled the hearts of the lords of the entire river valley province.

"They can give up Macon County without hesitation today. Will they be able to give up Choctaw County tomorrow? And the day after tomorrow, can they give up the entire River Valley Province?"

This is a real problem that they must face.

to this end.

The lords of the River Valley Province formed a separate group to discuss this matter together.

"We can't completely rely on the coalition forces, we have to find a way to protect ourselves."

"The fortification plan proposed by Rogers before, I think it is very reliable. Without a city to rely on, just relying on horses, trenches, and traps will not be able to withstand Chang'an's heavy cavalry."

"Then build the city!"

"That's right, with a two-pronged approach, at least one city will be built in each county, and two or three cities can be built if conditions permit."

"Now is the time, the time to show our solidarity."

The crisis is present.

The lords of the entire River Valley Province have reached an unprecedented unity and are preparing to hold together for warmth.

Complete the fortification 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 down the location of the city.

Then the lords of the county will jointly fund stone materials and labor to start the construction of the city wall.

And the sooner the better.

During this process, the counties have actually completed a kind of internal integration in a disguised form, from the original mode of fighting each other and competing with each other to a city-state system.

The speed of its integration and merger is even faster than the integration of villages and towns in Zunlong Kingdom.

It is also forced.

The lords are not stupid. Facing the threat of 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, at least one private land can be kept, and the power and wealth can be preserved to the maximum extent.

.........

Chang'an City.

After finishing his official duties, Tang Jing came to the super-level new barracks that had been upgraded.

Check out what's new.

[Ultra-rank recruit camp: The elite of the second-tier sword and shield soldiers and elite spearmen can be transferred to the third-tier heavy infantry after passing the test. Each heavy infantry transfer fee is 10 gold coins]

[Remarks: Heavy infantry has extremely high requirements on the physical fitness of soldiers. Only high-quality soldiers with high innate qualities can meet the requirements for job transfer]

[Remarks: After the job transfer is completed, the fighter's physical fitness will be improved to a certain extent]

If we say that the sword and shield soldiers, elite spearmen, and elite archers who have undergone a second job transfer belong to the elite infantry and can be "manufactured" in batches through job transfer.

Then the hoplite is the elite of the elite, and spending money may not necessarily be able to change jobs successfully.

You have to pass the test first.

"Then let's try first."

As long as there is a chance of success, it is better than having no clue before.

Tang Jing immediately asked his own soldiers to send an order to Zhang Liao, the chief general of the garrison division, to bring all the four elite spear battalions under the garrison division to the super-level new barracks for testing.

after an hour.

The four elite spear battalions assembled in the small square in front of the super-ranked new barracks.

Queue up for testing.

The results were not optimistic. Of the 212 elite spearmen, only [-] passed the test and were successfully transferred.

Almost one-tenth of the ratio.

The elite spearmen under the garrison division are generally of good quality and have actual combat experience, but still only one tenth of them meet the standard.

It can be seen that the third-tier heavy infantry is indeed a threshold.

It is not an extravagant hope to have all the heavy infantry under the infantry division in a short time. The more realistic pursuit should be to deploy a heavy infantry battalion in each standard infantry brigade and mixed infantry brigade.

Just under the brigade-level establishment, a new battalion establishment will be added.

Perfect solution!

When the first and second divisions have completed their sweeping missions and the follow-up army expansion has landed as scheduled, they can focus on the job transfer of Tier [-] heavy infantry.

The glory points accumulated before have also come into play.

.........

After finishing the matter of the new barracks, Tang Jing was about to return to the Lord's Mansion when he suddenly received a call from Paul the Octopus, saying that he wanted to present him with good things.

It is estimated that Paul hunted some monster in the sea again and dropped the crystal nucleus.

Ever since Tang Jing set his mind on the octopus Paul in order to advance to the territory last time, Paul has been very active, for fear that he will be betrayed by his shameless master one day.

Turn around and come to Merlot Pier.

Since the completion of the wharf, Chang'an has basically no foreign trade demand, so it seems very deserted.

There are only rows of small fishing boats docked.

A small fish market gradually developed on the open space of the pier.

Paul the octopus was waiting by the pier, presenting two level 2 crystal nuclei and a golden treasure chest as if offering treasures.As the existence of the fourth-order pinnacle, Paul is an invincible existence in the offshore area.

Recently, I have taken in two new octopus boys, and I am living a very chic life.

"Good job!"

Tang Jing opened the treasure chest and was lucky enough to get a C-level summoning card, which was a rare compliment to Paul.

The latter is very happy.

"call!"

The battle was imminent, Tang Jing chose to summon generals again without any surprise.

A white light flashed, and a middle-aged general appeared.

"The last general, Shi Lang, see my lord!"

Shi Lang, a well-known naval general in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, was originally a general of Zheng Zhilong's department.

Because of the successful recovery of Yizhou Island, he was granted the title of General Jinghai and the Marquis of Jinghai.

Octopus Paul is really a lucky general, and he even sent one of the most scarce naval generals to Chang'an.

Could it be because the treasure chest was dropped in the sea?

Anyway.

Shi Lang's arrival finally brought the preparations for the Chang'an Navy into the fast lane.

It avoids 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 reckless.

After meeting each other, Tang Jing immediately decided to appoint Shi Lang as the head of the Chang'an Navy, responsible for preparing the first building ship and warship squadron under the Chang'an Navy.

Speaking of which.

I have to mention the establishment of the Navy.

The navy is organized on the basis of warships, and different warships often have vastly different formations.

Chang'an's current main battleship is the warship. A warship needs to be equipped with about 120 crew members including captain, first mate, second mate, bosun, sailor, helmsman, hand, craftsman and so on.

The combat unit is an elite archer battalion, wearing leather armor and equipped with spears or swords.

There is no artillery.

The captain of the warship is called the captain of the warship, which is equivalent to the establishment of a battalion.

Further up.

It is the squadron of building ships and battleships.

A squadron of warships needs to have at least one warship as the flagship, four warships as the main warships, and twelve red horse boats as scout warships.

The total strength is about 3000, which is equivalent to the establishment of a brigade.

The commander of the squadron is called Chief Qian of the Navy.

Further up, there is also a naval brigade composed of several naval squadrons + marine police districts, and a naval fleet composed of several naval brigades + naval bases.

The commander-in-chief of the navy is called the commander-in-chief of the navy.

The commander of the navy fleet is called the admiral of the navy.

Due to the complicated shipbuilding process, there are currently only four warships in Chang'an that are close to completion, which is barely enough to form a squadron of warships.

And so far I haven't obtained the blueprints for the construction of the building...

"The conditions are very simple, but the enemy's invasion is imminent, and I have to trouble the general to set up the first squadron of building ships and warships as soon as possible to prepare for the war. If you need anything, please speak to the Military Affairs Department as soon as possible."

The water network around Chang'an is densely covered, which is the time when the navy needs to play a role.

In particular, Tang Jing shared his sight with Paul the octopus and learned that not far from Yushui Bay, there is an island occupied by pirates, which can be used as the first overseas base of the Chang'an Navy.

In case the coalition forces besieged Chang'an City, the navy would have no place to replenish.

Naturally, it is a race against time!
"Don't worry, my lord, the final general will live up to his entrustment!"

After understanding the general situation, Shi Lang felt that it was okay.

"it is good!"

Tang Jing was very pleased.

Still planning to chat for a while, the soldiers came to report that Mia and Bag had returned to Chang'an City.
