God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

To be honest, looking at the people present discussing the soldiers' wages, Liu Tong (internal energy) felt for the first time that the salary he paid to his own guards was not too high.
Compared with other soldiers, especially some county soldiers, they only earned three or four hundred coins a month, and the soldiers on the front line battlefield only earned five or six hundred coins.

In a sense, the treatment that the soldiers of the Princess Guard can enjoy is not inferior to that of the citizen soldiers of the Roman Empire, and is even slightly better.

After all, three thousand coins per month, plus extra subsidies, the cost a year is close to forty thousand coins. Just the pure military expenses for a princess guard would cost two or three hundred million coins a year.

If this money was used to hire the Southern Xiongnu, it would also be enough to hire them for one or two years.

But the question is, what is the combat effectiveness of the Southern Xiongnu? What is the combat effectiveness of the Princess Guard? From the very beginning, there was a qualitative difference in the number of troops provided by both sides.

Of course, in the true sense, military expenditures are actually the things that require less expenditure, and the related armament costs are the bulk of the expenses.

However, most people's attention will not be focused on this aspect, but on the military expenditure that is visible and tangible to the naked eye.

The reason why people are worried that the military expenses of the Princess Guard are too high is not because they cannot afford it, but because military expenses are something that are inherently compared horizontally.

It is natural for the strong to get more and the weak to get less, but the combat effectiveness of the Princess Guard, although it can be called strong, is definitely not matched by the average military expenditure that overwhelms other armies in the world.

But after all, it was her own money that she paid for, so I think other troops shouldn't have so many complaints.

Thinking of this, Liu Tong (internal energy) habitually ignored the experience of the princess guards being beaten a few years ago.

After all, he had been beaten so many times that even Liu Tong (internal energy) had gotten used to it. If one day he wasn't beaten, he would feel a little uncomfortable.

When it comes to the army, the discussion is much more heated than that of the navy.

Compared to the few navies in the world, the army is something that every powerful force has.

Among them, the strongest ones had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and dominated the whole world, covering all directions and showing their relative kindness.

It is also because of this that the army's military expenditure is actually much greater than that of the navy. Even if the navy also uses a large amount of military expenditure to build naval ships, it cannot make up for the military expenditure gap between the two sides.

The reason for this military expenditure gap is also determined by the difference in numbers between the navy and the army.

Under such discussions, the topic and direction of the entire army shifted and changed unconsciously.

Compared with the previous army that was not paid, the current army, during the discussion process, has completely turned into a matter of how much money is paid to the army per month.

From this perspective, it can be regarded as a temporary escape from the dilemma of forced conscription, which makes the cost of mobilizing relevant troops and practitioners greater than the normal cost. It also curbs the rebellious sentiment and the probability of rebellion to a certain extent.

After all, the people who know it is impossible but still do it are a minority. Even if those who hold this idea are very powerful themselves, they cannot change all this, or it can be said that there is an absolute gap in strength.

"The military expenditure has been decided. I wonder if everyone present here can discuss it again today as the Chang'an Imperial Guard, which was intercepted last year and not established, has been a year?" Chen Gong looked at the jubilant Cao Cao. It seemed that he was indeed quite excited under such circumstances.

So what are you still hesitating about? Give the other party some eye drops, let Cao Cao understand what digging a pit means? ! It can save a lot of military expenses, is this a good thing? It is indeed a good thing, but Cao Cao is so happy, that is not a good thing.

When Chen Gong said this, everyone present was stunned. Then they looked at each other, but they didn't think there was anything wrong with this question.

As the main force that once maintained the face of the empire and protected the imperial palace, it was also a symbol of the Han Empire's long-lasting prosperity.

The Northern and Southern Armies of the Han Empire were definitely armies with unique characteristics and were extremely powerful.

The Northern Army's broad adaptability is enough to deal with most armies, and it can maintain a high probability advantage in frontal combat.

The Southern Army's evil, terrifying characteristics and rapid development capabilities are enough to construct a path of violent cracking in the shortest time at the cost of life.

Two armies, one good and one evil, protected the former Han Empire and traveled far away in the long river of history.

However, after Chen Gong mentioned these two armies, the atmosphere on the scene was completely different.

It’s not that I am so resistant to these two armies, but the significance of these two armies are completely different.

Whether it was the Northern Army or the Confederate Army, the number of people was actually not large, basically ranging from 30,000 to 50,000.

If there is not enough money and a streamlining strategy is implemented, the number of troops can even be reduced to less than 10,000.

In terms of numbers, there is indeed not much pressure, and each lord can contribute.

But the reason why everyone is alert is because of Liu Tong (internal energy) itself.

Because the establishment of the Confederate Army and the Northern Army had a very constant goal from the beginning to the end, that is, this kind of army would obey the country, respond to the country, and follow the call of the country.

The current government is not that poor. Even with the conventional configuration, the combined strength of the Northern and Southern armies will not be less than 60,000 people.

The army that has been responding to the country's call and obeying the country's orders has a number of 60,000. What would be the consequences if this were placed in Chang'an?
Under normal circumstances, many of the senior civil and military officials present did not care much.

After all, if the army wants to exert its strength, it depends on the commander, and most monarchs are not very good at this aspect.

After all, a monarch who cares about the country and the world will probably put the people first. As for a monarch who doesn't even care about the common people, he may not have a high reputation in the army.

But Liu Tong (internal energy) is obviously very special, and his talent in military ability is indeed very strong.

In addition, there are decisive battle troops such as the Guan Hai Legion, wide-area auxiliary corps such as the Princess Guard, coupled with the Northern Army which has its own coordination, the Southern Army that has the ability to fight to the death and tear the battlefield apart, as well as a part of auxiliary troops and Southern Xiongnu cavalry.

The large army with perfect configuration, including fulcrums, auxiliary forces, bursts, and all kinds of arms, is powerful enough to suppress other people present in Chang'an area under the control of Liu Tong (internal energy).

Strength is the capital of speaking... (End of this chapter)
