Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

The first thing he needs to adjust is the extremely complicated military management system between the upper and lower levels in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Chapter 2 Arms Restructuring

The first thing Zhang Yan wanted to adjust was the extremely complicated military management system between the upper and lower levels in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In terms of the military management system, before the Eastern Han Dynasty, the "two-five system" similar to that of the previous dynasty had always been implemented.This kind of system is strict at the upper and lower levels, and each level controls each other. In fact, it can be said that it is not backward, and even has certain advantages in this era.

It's just that this system requires a large number of grassroots officers, and at the same time, the upper and lower levels of the various arms are relatively chaotic, so Zhang Yan intends to simplify it to a certain extent, and at the same time remove some levels that do not have much tactical significance from the system. Knock it out.

As we all know, after the land of China fell into melee in the late Three Kingdoms period, the wars between princes in many places escalated.

The conquests between them are no longer based on tens of thousands of people, but large-scale wars involving hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people. This is a great test for the number of grassroots officers.

And considering that he will make certain requirements on the cultural level of officers in the entire army in the future, Zhang Yan decided to replace the three levels of "Wu", "Team" and "Qu" with relatively weak sense of existence from the ranks of his subordinates. Excluded from the trilogy, only the three levels of "shi" composed of ten soldiers, "tun" composed of a hundred soldiers, and "bu" composed of a thousand soldiers remained.At the same time, Zhang Yan also plans to make some adjustments and changes to the names of these three levels.

First of all, the "platoon" composed of ten soldiers will become the smallest unit in Zhang Yan's army.

This kind of unit will not be dispatched to perform tasks alone, but will serve as the daily life of soldiers, and it will also be the smallest unit for weapon and equipment management.In each "platoon", Zhang Yan will set up a "platoon leader" and a "deputy platoon leader".

After the platoon, there is a "team" composed of ten platoons of soldiers, which will replace the "tun" in the original Han Dynasty military system and serve as the basic unit for Zhang Yan's soldiers to execute tactical goals.

In each "team", Zhang Yan intends to set up an additional "captain" and "deputy captain" to manage the soldiers under their respective command.In this way, a phalanx of a hundred people can be formed to accept the sole command of the superior general during the melee.

Finally, there is a "battalion" composed of ten phalanxes, which is also the smallest unit that Zhang Yan plans to form his own arms in the future.

Whether it is the most basic infantry, cavalry or archers, Zhang Yan intends to recruit and train 1000 people as a minimum base.During daily training and marching, every ten teams of soldiers live in the same camp, train and march together, and at the same time accept the command and dispatch of a "battalion commander" and a "deputy battalion commander".

In this way, a 1000-man army only needs more than 100 officers to command, and at most the 100 men can be matched with the same number of deputies.However, according to the regulations before the Han Dynasty, the number of corporal leaders in a 200-man battalion would have reached about [-].

Write down your plans one by one in the notebook, and Zhang Yan intends to hand over this part of the work to Xu Huang for unified implementation.

According to historical records, Xu Huang is known for his "strict military management", and after more than a month of actual contact, Zhang Yan feels that this person's personality is quite calm and steady.

Thinking about it, if I leave this matter to Xu Huang, it will definitely be much better than doing gestures on a half-bucket of water.

After planning the work related to the management of the military system, Zhang Yan turned his attention to the arms under his command.

After joining hands with Jian Shuo and others to attack Mrs. Guo this time, Zhang Yan was quite envious of the "horse archers" and "long archers" in the opponent's hands.Before, he didn't have the right to do so, and he didn't have time to train soldiers, so he could only organize all the soldiers under his command into sword and shield hands to deal with it first.

Now that he returned from the crusade against the Yellow Turbans, he must be dispatched to Lujiang to be the prefect soon, and the work of distinguishing arms was naturally brought up by him on the agenda.

At present, the total number of soldiers under Zhang Yan's command has reached a terrifying 5000 after counting the 2 soldiers promised to him by Han Lingdi Liu Hong.Among the 2 people, Zhang Yan only planned to keep [-] sword and shield fighters, and the rest of the soldiers changed their training to other arms to adapt to their future attack plan.

The first is the cavalry. Although in Zhang Yan’s future plan, his main activities in the early stage are the southern generation with dense water networks, but cavalry is like an aircraft carrier. You can not get too much, but you must practice a little first. Ensure that your own technology will not be too far behind your neighbors in future turkey hunting competitions.

After considering the thickness of his wallet, Zhang Yan planned to draw [-] northerners who are most suitable for horses from the [-] swords and shields, and use them to train a cavalry unit dedicated to him.

He didn't expect to be able to produce any kind of "iron floating map" full-heavy cavalry in this era, nor did he expect his cavalry to be able to realize the difficult operation of "spear wall charge" as soon as they came up.But at the very least, these 3000 people must be able to fight immediately.

Initially setting the weapons and equipment as an all-metal long lance and a machete for close-range slashing, Zhang Yan estimated the cost of establishing this type of arms, which seemed to be barely within his acceptable range .

"It's just that if horse battles and charges are to be carried out, the work of improving saddles and inventing stirrups must be put on the agenda as soon as possible..."

After recording all the data about the cavalry, Zhang Yan muttered slightly, and began to plan the next unit in his hands, which is the most important long-range firepower projection unit in the cold weapon period-bowmen.

In the formation of archers, Zhang Yan intends to make full use of the rich characteristics of Jiangdong's generation of water networks, and first select [-] tall infantry with amazing arms from the remaining soldiers and train them to become longbowmen.And considering that the main combat method of the longbowmen in the future is to defend the city and suppress the arrow rain, Zhang Yan does not need to let the group of archers under his command be able to penetrate Yang with a hundred steps like in the romance novels. Under normal circumstances, he can initially accept it after shooting arrows for about ten rounds in a row.

Since his [-] infantry are all young and strong laborers selected from the Yellow Turbans, the formation of the archers is not too difficult for Zhang Yan. He only needs to find a way to gather enough high-quality bows and arrows to initially lead the entire army. Build up training.

Comparing the price gap between high-quality longbows and horses, Zhang Yan only found that the [-] archers tied together may not be as expensive as the [-] cavalry.

"It's just that there are enough high-quality longbows, but it's a little troublesome..."

Recalling the few merchants he met in Luoyang City, Zhang Yan only felt that this matter might have to wait until he went to Lujiang to make a long-term plan.

"After that, it's that..."

Chapter 3 Special Forces in the Eastern Han Dynasty

After that, it was Zhang Yan's top priority in this military reform, that is, the recruitment of special arms.

Among all his parts, except for the 2000 archers who will be directly supplied with food and materials by the Han court, the remaining [-] sword shield soldiers and [-] cavalry Zhang Yan intend to directly supply them by themselves.As for the final scale of [-] people, Zhang Yan is going to train some special arms with his own characteristics.

Assuming that the various military formations in the world are also divided into three, six or nine grades, if Zhang Yan's previous trilogy is divided into C grades, which are common in online games, and the archers and cavalry are both B grades, then he now wants to recruit The special units in the army must be at least A+ level, or even powerful units above A+ level.

From a certain point of view, special arms are actually like modern special forces. Compared with other soldiers, they occupy more resources and at the same time exert stronger combat capabilities.This act of classifying arms and then allocating different budgets according to different ranks has run through the entire history of China's war from beginning to end, and Zhang Yan is just following the gourd.

Going far, since the Western Zhou Dynasty destroyed Shang, there have been "Hu Benwei" sweeping the world.But to get closer, the "Habayashi Army" that stood side by side with the Huben Army in the Western Han Dynasty is obviously also the first-class in the world.

What Zhang Yan wanted to form was a force as powerful as the Habayashi Army.

Of course, as a traveler who was obsessed with various historical games in his previous life, Zhang Yan had also fantasized about the rather refreshing scene of all the S-class troops under his command.Just thinking about the productivity of the Eastern Han Dynasty today, not to mention that he only holds one county in Lujiang, even if he controls the entire Jiangdong, he may not be able to support such a god-like army.

Not to mention anything else, the smelting of high-quality copper and iron alone is far from a problem that Zhang Yan can simply rely on spending money to solve.

"About special forces... no, it's the formation of special forces, why not leave it like this..."

Scratching the back of his head, Zhang Yan tried his best to recall the cold weapon knowledge he had learned before, and finally decided to set the weapon of this future unit as a spear.

It's not because of anything else, it's just that in ancient times when marching and fighting, long-armed troops with the same number and quality had an almost indelible first-hand advantage over short-handed troops.Regardless of whether it is an formation or a small-scale conflict, long weapons such as guns and spears have a very strong lethal effect.

As for why the Eastern Han Dynasty gradually replaced the dominant position of spears in military weapons with metal knives in the past, this will involve a problem of productivity.

Under the same production cost, the steel used to produce a knife is simply not enough to produce a long-handled metal weapon.And for those high-quality wooden spears, the extremely complicated manufacturing process of the gun itself is more expensive than metal, which is enough to dissuade a large group of people who want to mass-produce.

To some extent, the production cost of the highest quality soft barrel guns is almost higher than that of weapons such as bows of the same level.

"The main weapon is an all-metal long spear about two meters long, and the secondary weapon is equipped with a short sword for close-quarters assassination. Although the flexibility of the gun is far inferior to the wooden long spear, the soldiers have no chance at all. Showing off individual bravery, on the contrary, when forming an formation against light cavalry, all-metal weapons can be stronger and more reliable."

"Although I haven't decided on a name yet, if I can reach the level of Danyang's elite soldiers in the heyday of Tao Gongzu's hands in the early stage, I think my investment will not be a loss."

Although he was very heartbroken at the huge expenditure for recruiting and supporting such a trilogy, but thinking that he would inevitably have conflicts with the princes due to various things in the future, Zhang Yan finally gritted his teeth and finalized the expenditure in this way.

"Let's leave this matter to Yang Feng when the time comes...Although there are quite a few generals under my command, most of them are half-way monks who wield knives and clubs. If I really want to talk about the method of assassination with spears, I'm afraid I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." You have to ask him for help."

Sighing lightly, Zhang Yan himself knew very well that although his current 1 swords and shields were invincible among the yellow turbans in the Central Plains, it was still far from enough compared to those princes in the future, especially the big bosses in the north. .Not only the special arms that I recorded today need to be dealt with seriously, but even the more than [-] sword and shield players who don't need much adjustment need Zhang Yan to pay for their shields and armor one by one.

If the conflict between his adoptive father Zhang Rang and He Jin breaks out in the future, although Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others are Jian Shuo's subordinates in name, they should stand on the side of the ten servants, but in fact, considering that everyone has been in He Jin's mansion If you don't take office, it is very likely that you will have conflicts with yourself or even use weapons recklessly.

Not to mention anything else, if you don't have an army that can compete with them, then Yuan Shao's first ascended dead soldiers, euphorbia soldiers, and Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers and tiger and leopard cavalry are enough to drink a pot for yourself.

"Alas...prepare for a rainy day."

With a long sigh, Zhang Yan took the booklet back into his arms and put it away.Before he could rest for a moment, he saw a soldier walking towards him quickly.

"My lord, the person captured by General Yang earlier has woken up, and he is currently being detained at the end of the army formation. General Yang has ordered me to come and inform you if this person wakes up."

Clasping fists with both hands and bowing to Zhang Yan, the soldier was not in a hurry.At this moment, Zhang Yan, who was already busy with the work at hand, naturally found time to follow the soldier to the place where the young general was escorted earlier.

Speaking of this young general, Zhang Yan still has some impressions.After his meeting with Yang Feng that day, he heard the other party mention this young general, and he liked him very much in his words.

At the very beginning, Zhang Yan and Yang Feng just met an ordinary general seedling and planned to focus on training for himself.But he didn't want to, after asking several yellow scarves who had joined him, Zhang Yan found out that he had heard the name of this young general before, and although he didn't say it was a thunderous name, he was at least a household name in his time.

This young general turned out to be Liao Chun, who was one of the few vanguard generals in the late Shu Han period, Liao Hua and Liao Yuanjian.

When he had just defeated Yang Feng and others in Hedong County, Zhang Yan had imagined whether he would have a chance to find Liao Hua by Du Yuan's side in the future.Unexpectedly, before he even took the initiative to look for it, Yang Feng knocked this person unconscious and brought him here.

Even if the opponent is currently the same as himself, he can only be regarded as a rookie at a low-level level in the general.But Zhang Yan believed that with the teachings of famous generals such as Yang Feng and Han Xian, Liao Hua's achievements under his own hands in the future would never be half a point lower than his original achievements.

Riding his horse towards the rear of the army, Zhang Yan pondered in his mind for a while how to recruit Liao Hua to his command. At this moment, Liao Hua was at the rear of the army, feeling a little uneasy about his future.

Chapter 4 Yo, are you awake?

Cold... shaking.

After waking up from a grain truck, Liao Hua only felt a little dizzy and didn't quite understand his current situation.

"Where is this?"

Looking around in a daze, Liao Hua only found that he was trapped like a zongzi lying on a grain truck, and behind him, several heavily armed soldiers were pushing him forward while watching vigilantly. looking at his figure.

"Am I... captured?"

His head was still a little dizzy, Liao Hua only remembered that he had received a group of unexpected guests in place of Du Yuan in Jinyang City, and then it seemed that for some reason, the leader of the other party shot himself unconscious, and he did the rest. Some can't remember.

Suppressing the intense hunger that came from his abdomen, Liao Hua pursed his lips and found that he was not too thirsty. It should be that the other party arranged for someone to feed him water when he fainted.As for meals, there was obviously nothing to be done.

A slight bowel sound came from Liao Hua's abdomen, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"This strong man, I don't know where I am now, can you give me some food as a convenience?"

After a little hesitation, Liao Hua still chose a soldier who looked relatively easy to get along with and spoke to him.And seeing that he didn't show too obvious hostility after waking up, the soldier obviously restrained his vigilance a little bit, but he didn't easily agree to his request.

"Now this place has reached the boundary of Luoyang, and we will soon enter Luoyang. Look at the tallest place in the distance, which is the north gate of the imperial capital Luoyang."

He explained something to Liao Hua, and the soldier put away his weapon, and then explained to him aloud.

"For meals, I'm afraid you have to wait. Our group of soldiers who work under General Zhang don't carry dry food with them, and the unified cooks will distribute it only during meals every day."

"Someone has called our general just now. If you wait any longer, he will come to see you. If you are really hungry, you can ask him. If he agrees, there will be a cook for you. "

After explaining the general situation to Liao Hua, the soldier stopped making any noise, and followed the orderly footsteps of the entire army to move forward.On the other side, since Liao Hua had already woken up, he felt embarrassed to continue to lean on the grain cart and let the crowd push him forward. Instead, he got up and jumped off the grain cart, intending to follow behind the group of soldiers to see the situation .

Both feet went limp when they hit the ground. Liao Hua, who hadn't eaten for several days, felt a slight dizziness hit his forehead, and he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.And just as he staggered and almost fell, a pair of strong hands held him firmly from behind and helped him up.

"Yo, are you awake?"

Liao Hua turned around and looked back, only to see a kindly smiling face, it was Zhang Yan who just came here on horseback after hearing the news.

Reaching out his hand to help Liao Hua up, Zhang Yan waved his hand, signaling to the surrounding soldiers who were bowing to him not to be too polite, and started chatting with the young general Liao Hua.

"Hey, is this thirteen or fourteen years old at most? Is this ancient man so precocious that he led troops to fight at the age of thirteen or fourteen?"

Just looking up and down at Liao Hua in front of him, Zhang Yan clicked his tongue slightly.Although the young general in front of him was thin, he was straight and straight, with a pair of sword eyebrows and tiger eyes on his white face. Although the eyebrows and eyes were still a little immature, he already had the appearance of a young general, no longer like those children.

On the other hand, Liao Hua couldn't help but become a little cautious after seeing the rather handsome young man who was about 26 years old in front of him.

"You are General Zhang?"

After tentatively asking the other party, Liao Hua had just learned from the soldiers that the leader of the Han army that captured him was named Zhang Yan.The previous well-known Yellow Turban generals such as Yang Feng, Han Xian, etc. have already regarded him as the master. Obviously, the status of the other party is much higher than that of a young man from a poor family.

Although for some reason the other party's attitude towards him seems to be pretty good, but considering that he is now only a defeated general, Liao Hua kept his attitude very low in front of the other party.

"Well, I am Zhang Yan. You are Liao Chun, the Yellow Turban general from Jingbei?"

Smiling and asking the other party, Zhang Yan naturally saw that the person in front of him was not too hostile to him, but rather cautious, which made him feel a little relaxed.

Don't be afraid of your restraint, what Zhang Yan is most afraid of is encountering the kind of Tie Hanhan who yells at him as soon as he comes up, and is full of "traitors and running dogs".Fortunately, from Pei Yuanshao at the beginning to Yang Feng and Xu Huang, and now to Liao Hua, all Zhang Yan met were generals with relatively normal reactions, and he had never met that kind of guy who could be said to be indifferent.

"Exactly, Liao Chunnai's old name has now been changed to Hua, the general can call me Liao Hua."

He cupped his hands towards the other party, and while Zhang Yan was looking at Liao Hua, Liao Hua was also quietly looking at the other party.
