Chapter 363 Calculate family fortune
Due to the reduction of 100,000 Beijing troops, Xu Yu's Royal First Division was temporarily responsible for the defense of the capital, and Chang Buzhou's Royal Guards were responsible for guarding the palace.
The imperial guards in the palace were also reduced to very few by Zhu Youjian. The more than 100 people who could stay were all loyal guards who had passed many rounds of tests and had absolutely no problem with their loyalty. However, they were all concentrated in the secret training base of the special forces. Receive all kinds of conventional military training, at least you have to be comfortable with firearms.
Martial arts is important, but the era of hot martial arts has arrived. No matter how powerful the martial arts master is, a bullet can kill him. Learning to play with a gun is a compulsory lesson.
According to Zhu Youjian's idea, Chang Buzhou's Royal Guards is his imperial army. It is only so large in size, but the weapons must be the best, and the soldiers must be elite veterans selected from ten thousand, and they must be tested at all levels and be loyal. There is absolutely no problem with being a loyal guard.
But it has only been a short time since all the New Army units were formed. The most elite ones are Xu Yu's First Royal Division, Lan Fang's Second Royal Division, Guangxi Langbing Division and Sichuan Army Division. These four most elite units have passed through With the expansion and the addition of a large number of new soldiers, the combat effectiveness will inevitably drop. If elite veterans are drawn from them, the combat effectiveness will drop even more.
As the war that determines the life and death of the empire approaches, Zhu Youjian does not dare to mess around. On the contrary, he must enhance the combat effectiveness of these troops as much as possible, giving priority to replacing them with the most advanced DM2 rifles and artillery of large and small calibers.
In fact, the 1st Independent Division of the National Defense Force led by the Red Lady can be regarded as an elite unit. However, it has just been reorganized and re-equipped. Its proficiency in using muskets and familiarity and application of new tactics still need to be improved. It is not yet classified as an elite unit. middle.
The Baigan Army commanded by Qin Liangyu can definitely be regarded as the elite of the old army. What's more, the current Baigan Army has also added 2,000 musketeers and an artillery battalion, and its combat power has doubled. As long as she is given sufficient logistical support, even if If you suddenly encounter an enemy in the wild, you will definitely be able to defeat the Eight Banners cavalry of the Qing army.
He made a rough calculation and found that he still had a few elite troops in his hand, which were worthy of a battle. However, this was far from enough. He had to explode the troops. He had to explode the troops like crazy. After the troops near the capital were recruited, he went to other provinces to recruit them. Now The treatment of soldiers is much better than before. I believe it is impossible to recruit soldiers.
As for the 300,000 Shaanxi, Huguang, and Baoding armies commanded by Trilateral Governor Sun Chuanting, although they are known as elites, in Zhu Youjian's eyes, their combat power can only be regarded as slightly stronger than the ordinary Zhanwuzhao old army, and it is okay to suppress the rebels with backward weapons and equipment. , fighting in a field battle with the Qing army, only to be beaten.
But for his army planning, even if he gave the Qing army heads, they had to be used as cannon fodder.
To be more detailed, if the 300,000 old troops are forcibly reduced, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction and confusion among the soldiers, and even trigger a mutiny. It is better to be a little evil and use the help of the Qing army to help him reduce the army.
These soldiers have already been infected with all the bad habits of the old army. He doesn't want any of them. Even if he lets them go home, most of them will probably go up to the mountains to work as bandits and cause trouble in the place. And only when they are beaten and painful can he have an excuse to reorganize and lay off employees. and reasons.
In fact, there was another elite force in the old army of the Ming Dynasty, namely Wu Sangui's Guan Ning cavalry. However, he did not include the Guan Ning cavalry because Wu Sangui's attitude was unclear and he was worried.
Considering that Xu Yu would one day lead the Royal First Division on an expedition, Zhu Youjian planned to temporarily build a four-brigade division with 20,000 new soldiers to guard the capital. There was no candidate for the division commander at the moment, so he could only let Chang Buzhou serve temporarily.
There is no way, he lacks everything, the most lacking is loyal talents, let alone a military commander in charge of a division.
Because the war was coming, Zhu Youjian did not carry out drastic reforms in the military and political system, but this year's military expenditures tripled, and he paid twice more out of his own pocket, four times more in translation. Such a crazy explosion of troops was said to be It's okay to go militarily.
But now that the national treasury is abundant, his small coffers are also full, enough for him to squander for a while. This is the benefit of confiscating the house.
The empire is currently preparing for war with all its strength, and the situation is still mainly stable. Zhu Youjian has not moved even the eight imperial merchants who have betrayed the country and supported the enemy. However, if the Donglin Party members want to die, then they should be transcended to the Western Paradise.
The Donglin Party, especially the big bosses, each have property many times greater than the fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty in a year. They will definitely feel happy if their homes are ransacked.
"Your Majesty, Qian Qianyi, Minister of Household Affairs, has been assassinated."
