"So we will fight an economic war with the Nanjing imperial court to cut their taxes, and at the same time the army can’t be idle …"
"Wangfu’s existing financial resources and income can still leave almost five million and two thousand silver every year … plus our butch army is under attack between Scylla and Charybdis, and it may be attacked by two powerful enemies at any time, which has become my butch army’s delay …"
"The king decided to staff unified coordination expansion butch army …"
If you are a soldier, there is no one who doesn’t want to encourage more and more soldiers.
Wei Zheng decided that Sun Chengzong’s eyes just lit up and asked Wei Zheng, "The report has five field armies and a guard division with a total strength of one hundred and ten thousand people except the local garrison … I don’t know how many people the report intends to expand the tiger and leopard army to this expansion …"
Sun Chengzong stared at Wei Zheng and answered without thinking, "It is declared that our Tiger and Leopard Army will include 190,000 troops in three months … After the expansion is completed, the total strength of the Tiger and Leopard Army will reach 300,000 …"
"So much …" Sun Chengzong fierce one leng one face incredible asks.
Then consciousness began to wake up. "Report, don’t be impulsive … my existing financial resources and income roots in Wangfu can’t feed three hundred thousand butch and leopard troops … Besides, we don’t have so many equipment in our hands to arm so many new troops at one time …"
After seeing Sun Chengzong’s worried and anxious face, the defender immediately flashed a self-satisfied smile and explained to Sun Chengzong, "What’s your hurry … Do you listen to what Wang just said clearly … Wang has made it very clear that he claims to include 190,000 troops … but he claims that he doesn’t really want to include so many troops!"
"How many meters make a big pot of rice … this simple truth is very clear to Wang …"
"There is a big goal to be released, that is, to scare the court and force the court’s fiscal revenue to get worse and worse. To keep Jiangnan from having to include the army and finally move toward belligerence …"
For this answer, Sun Chengzong’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and then looked forward to continuing to ask …
"That … report I butch army real enclosed army number is …"
"Fifty thousand people … if the king can fight elite is not sick … fifty thousand people is enough …"
"But this battle in the two provinces of Gansu and Ningxia not only makes us know the imperial court and the new imperial army again, but also makes us clearly realize the shortcomings of our butch and leopard army …"
"The king thinks that there are too few soldiers in the five armies of the Tiger and Leopard Army who can play positions in the war … The king decides that each army of the Tiger and Leopard Army will add an infantry division. After the completion of the army, the total strength of each field army of the Tiger and Leopard Army will reach an astonishing 30,000 …"
As soon as Wei Zheng’s words were finished, Sun Chengzong’s mind showed his own tragic picture in Qingchuan County.
At the beginning, if you had an infantry division in your hand, you wouldn’t have given it to a regiment if you captured Qingchuan County, defended Qingchuan County and blocked the retreat road of Ganning New Army …
In this case, defending the Tiger and Leopard Army in Qingchuan County will not result in the collapse of the army and successfully escape from more than 10,000 Gansu-Ningxia new army remnants, and will also be destroyed by our own department in Qingchuan County.
After eating this kui Sun Chengzong nodded in agreement without thinking.
After that, he continued to speak and added, "Your Majesty, I believe that in addition to strengthening the infantry strength of each field army, we should also increase the artillery strength …"
"The imperial court spared no effort to invest in the imperial army. Every 5,000 people were equipped with a heavy artillery battalion, with a total of 10 red cannons and his small-caliber Franz cannon. The number and power of the artillery equipped by the new army of 5,000 people have far exceeded us …"
"So we must increase the number of artillery in the field, or we will not only take advantage of the same number of artillery in the field, but also suffer greatly …"
For this discussion, even if Sun Chengzong doesn’t say Wei Zheng, he will come back …
A soldier from later generations knows better than anyone that firearms are the main battlefield and artillery is decisive in battle.
Sun Chengzong just finished Wei Zheng and agreed, "The officer just made it very clear that if the officer can fight elite, since increasing the number of artillery can increase the combat effectiveness of the troops, the king will definitely agree …"
"According to the strength of the divisions of the Tiger and Leopard Army, each field army added an infantry division and only twenty-six thousand people …"
"But after the completion of the expansion of each army in the command of Wang Kuo-jun, the total strength will reach an astonishing thirty thousand, which is four thousand more than twenty-six thousand …"
"What is this extra four thousand people? Wang can tell you now … This extra four thousand people are Wang Lai’s efforts to strengthen the artillery and the trench …"
"After the completion of the expansion, each musket company added a platoon of six light mortars. The trench platoon was expanded to act as a bomber in wartime … The musket battalion was equipped with a platoon of nine medium mortars … The regiment was equipped with a battalion, and a heavy mortar platoon was transformed into a trench battalion to act as a bomber in wartime …
"In this way, the strength of each regiment will increase to 2,500 …"
"The temporary change of the regimental establishment is to replace the heavy mortar department of the artillery battalion with the cannon …"
"Big …" At this moment, Sun Chengzong’s first thought was after hearing the introduction of Wei Zheng.
Then a trace of admiration for Weizheng came into Sun Chengzong’s heart.
On the surface, the Tiger and Leopard Army expanded its army on a large scale … But in fact, the Tiger and Leopard Army increased its firepower allocation as much as possible by including the army from beginning to end …
One truth, one falsehood and one darkness not only enhanced the fighting capacity of the Tiger and Leopard Army, but also severely fooled the imperial court … It can be said that killing two birds with one stone …
Chapter seven hundred and fifty-one Chongzhen is very arrogant
Since the Emperor Chongzhen of Nanjing received the report from the Gansu-Ningxia New Army requesting reinforcements to break through, he devoted his heart to the Gansu-Ningxia New Army and prayed that the Gansu-Ningxia New Army could break through successfully!
After all, the Gansu-Ningxia New Army pinned its hopes on the Emperor Chongzhen’s counterattack against the Tiger and Leopard Army. It was only after he invested millions of silver and hundreds of thousands of loads of grain back and forth that he was formed. If he was so destroyed by the Tiger and Leopard Army, his early investment and hope for the Gansu-Ningxia New Army would vanish …
Everything comes to him who waits, Chongzhen. All the waiting is worth it.
On the tenth day after he received the breakthrough report, a copy from Sichuan Baili Express was sent directly to the court.
When the Ganning new army broke through successfully and wiped out two thousand tigers and leopards again, after the court opened.
Worried for several days, Chongzhen’s face finally showed a long-lost smile.
At this time, some ministers who are very good at flattering did not miss this opportunity to compliment Chongzhen.
Hurriedly knelt down and said to Chongzhen, "Congratulations on your position … I believe that you will get ZTE in a short time … Long live your position …"
The minister’s compliment made Emperor Chongzhen’s smile even stronger …
In a good mood, I am more and more happy to play Chongzhen in my hand.
Especially when he learned that Zhang Zhong, the governor of Gan Ning, not only broke through and successfully eliminated the elite of two thousand tigers and leopards, but also successfully brought out the elite of twenty thousand Gan Ning new troops, his smile became even stronger.
Because the successful breakthrough of the 20,000 Ganning New Army directly means that the number of new troops will exceed 120,000 …
Chongzhen seems that the greater the number of new troops, the higher the success rate of counterattacking the Tiger and Leopard Army and retaking several northern provinces from the Tiger and Leopard Army in the future.
In a good mood, Chongzhen decided the final ownership of the Gansu-Ningxia new army in just a moment …
In order to avoid the hand minister to react, he was forced to get an elite to split and ruin Emperor Chongzhen with the fat of this new army of Gan Ning, and decided in a non-negotiable tone directly …
