Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 281: Starting overseas trade
The five schools of the Northern Army, including Shesheng Battalion and Infantry Battalion, are full of 3,000 people. The Tunqi Camp, the Changshui Camp, and the Yueqi Camp, Chutian each gave a staff of 1,000 people.
Excellent warhorses are expensive, and it is difficult to fill three cavalry battalions.
As a heavy cavalry, the cavalry battalion requires high-quality iron armor and horse armor, and the cost is more expensive.
The five schools of the Northern Army currently have 9,000 troops and become the Guards directly commanded by Chutian, known as the First Guards Corps.
In addition to making the five schools of the Northern Army serve as the First Guards Corps, Chu Tian made Li Xiuning's Detachment of Women the Second Guards Corps, directly allegiance to Chutian. The leader of the Second Corps is Li Xiuning, which currently has 6,000 people.
The 1st Guards Corps is a comprehensive corps, and the 2nd Guards Corps is a corps dominated by light infantry, equipped with swords, shields, spears, crossbows, and packhorses to enhance the combat effectiveness and mobility of the Women's Army.
In order to strengthen the cavalry of the Guards Corps again, Chutian ordered Hua Mulan's Scouting Corps to become the Third Guards Corps, with 15,000 light cavalry under his command, directly responsible to Chutian. Among them, there are 2,000 sixth-order iron eagle scouts and 13,000 ordinary light cavalry.
Three Guard Corps, a total of 30,000 people. Among them, there were 12,000 infantry and archers and 18,000 cavalry.
Under special circumstances, Xia Xia Liang has temporary command over the three major guard corps.
In the future, it is impossible to temporarily allocate troops as before. With the expansion of the territory and the trend of multi-line operations, Chutian began to strengthen the functions of the legion.
In addition to the three major guard corps, there are also 12,000 special troops selected from foreign captives to form a servant corps. Only Chutian can tame it and can be considered as the fourth guard corps.
Because Joan of Arc had no allegiance, Chutian would only appoint her as the leader of the Servant Legion when she went on an expedition. Usually, Chutian personally commanded her. In the same way, in special circumstances such as Chutian's injury, Xia Xia Liang has the power to take over the servant army.
The three Guard Corps plus the Servant Corps totaled 42,000 guards.
Chutian must have a strong guard army to ensure his power and deter families from all over the world.
If families from all over the world are unwilling to change, they must consider bearing the wrath of Chutian's guards.
Chutian could use an unreasonable army of foreign servants to suppress the family.
In addition to the Guard Corps commanded by himself, Chutian is divided into three levels of Corps.
The first level, the main army, is used to conquer all the princes, expand the territory, and achieve great things.
The first main army, Le Yi's offensive army, lieutenant general Li Guang, has 40,000 troops, including 2,000 Yanjia (seventh rank) and two thousand Western Han border archers (fifth rank).
The second main army, Zhou Yafu's defensive army, deputy general Zhou Cang, has a staff of 40,000 people, of which the high-level arms are staffed with 6,000 Xiliu Battalions (sixth order).
The third main corps, Xue Rengui's white-robed cavalry corps, deputy general Zhao Yun, has 25,000 cavalry, including 2,000 Great Tang elite cavalry archers (sixth rank) and two thousand white horses (sixth rank).
The fourth main corps, Xu Rong's Xiliang Cavalry Corps, with deputy general Hua Xiong, has 15,000 cavalry, of which the high-ranking arms have 1,000 Xiliang iron cavalry (seventh order).
As a special main army, it is planned to use Zheng Zhilong and Xu Sheng to form the Fubo Army, with a staff of 30,000 people. It will be composed of the soldiers of the Zhengjia Navy and the Dongwu Navy. battleship, troop carrier).
The main army consists of 150,000 people.
The significance of the organization's existence is that when the troops are lost on the front line, the rear will supply supplies as soon as possible.
If the entire army is wiped out, Chutian will consider canceling the organization and re-establishing a new army.
The reason why the main army is called the main army is because they are the absolute main force, stronger than the Chutian guards.
Now it is in the period of expansion, it is impossible for Chutian to be as strong and weak as the Song Dynasty, and to control all the forces in his hands.
The Guards Corps and the Main Corps have a total of 192,000 people. For Chutian, which will soon have five counties and states, there is not much financial pressure.
The second level, the local defense corps.
Langya National Defense Corps, the main general Zang Ba, deputy general Sun Guan, low-level arms 15,000.
East China Sea Defense Corps, the main commander Mi Fang, 10,000 low-level arms.
The Xiapi National Defense Corps, the main general Li Kui (also serving as the prime minister), has a low-level arms of 10,000.
The Guangling County Defense Corps, the chief general Chen Deng (also serving as the prefect), has 30,000 low-level troops.
The Pengchengguo Defense Corps, the main commander Yin Li, has 15,000 low-level troops.
The local defense corps totaled 80,000 people. As the name suggests, the main task of the defensive corps is to defend.
When necessary, the local defense corps will also cooperate with the main corps to attack the enemy.
Although Chutian stipulates the separation of military and government, the main military generals are all under the premise of the main army, and the defensive army of some counties can only be handed over to the local prime minister and the prefect commander.
Li Kui had no reason to betray Chu Tian. As for Chen Deng, his father Chen Gui was a hostage under Chu Tian's command. Chutian relied on Chen Deng to guard against the lords of Jiangdong in Guangling County, so he allowed Chen Deng to recruit 30,000 troops there.
The third tier of troops is actually the garrison troops, yamen, and village warriors in each county.
As a state shepherd, he had already given up the use of Xiangyong to participate in the war, and the Xiangyong was mostly used to transport food.
42,000 guards, 150,000 main corps, 80,000 local defense corps, a total of 272,000 professional soldiers.
With the current financial resources of Xuzhou, it can be supported. As long as Xuzhou rests for ten years, the military strength can even be doubled after ten years.
The framework is set, and the army can be established, merged, split, or reorganized in the future.
To determine the headache of the formation of the legion, Chu Tian ordered the officials responsible for recruiting troops in the lord's mansion to check and fill the gaps, and supplement the troops of each legion.
Currently, the Leyi Offensive Corps, the White Pao Cavalry Corps, the Donghai Kingdom Defense Corps, and the Guangling County Defense Corps are attacking Guangling County.
Zhou Yafu's defensive regiment and Xu Rong's Xiliang cavalry regiment were confronting Cao Cao. Zhou Yafu and Xu Rong have Gongzi Wen as allies and can temporarily delay Cao Cao.
"Once Guangling County is pacified, three Guard Corps and two main Corps can be dispatched to attack Taishan County. In order to attack Young Master Zhao of Qingzhou in the future, Xu Sheng must be ordered to form Fubo Corps as soon as possible."
Chutian plans to advance by water and land to destroy the young master Zhao of Qingzhou.
"Lord Lord, there is a lord of Dongying who intends to establish a trade relationship with us."
Although Xia Xia Liang's status has become higher, she still holds the account book and comes to inform Chutian of a decision that requires him to make the decision.
"The relationship between Dongying and our Eastern Han has always been at odds. How could they take the initiative to come and ask for trade?"
Chu Tian taught the two lords of Dongying a good lesson during the national war, but instead of being angry, the other party came to trade with shame.
"We have to fight wars, and do business as usual. You can earn gold and silver from Dongying people. As long as you don't sell strategic materials, why not trade with them? Dongying has a large number of silver mines. Once a trade surplus is formed, Dongying's silver will be lost. A steady stream flows into the Eastern Han Dynasty.”
"Let him come in and see me."
Chutian's expansion of the army requires the purchase of a large number of high-quality war horses, the construction of weapons and armor, and the construction of various county towns, which leaves a huge gap for gold and silver.
The lords of Dongying came to request trade, and the goods they wanted to buy were nothing more than silk, tea, porcelain and other materials that had nothing to do with wars. Selling to them would not strengthen the military strength of Dongying.
Soon a lord came in person, handed the samurai sword to the guard outside the door, calmly, and negotiated with Chutian alone.
This Dongying man has some courage.
Compared with Goryeo, Southeast Asian countries, and Mughals in India, Chutian was more wary of the Eastern Ying people, but the area of the Eastern Ying area was small, so it was difficult to do anything.
"In Shimo Hirado Castle, Lord Hirao Yoshisheng, once confronted your Excellency on the battlefield of the National War, and lost 100 soldiers and horses."
The lord of Dongying revealed his identity.
Chu Tian pondered for a while, and soon knew that Ping Yisheng was one of the lords of the Eastern Ying who supported the Kshatriya.
However, this righteous Sheng Mingzhe took care of himself and retreated immediately. Only 100 people died in the battle.
Chu Tian stared at the warrior: "As a lord, you come to Xuzhou alone, are you not afraid of death?"
Ping Yisheng replied: "That's a bad statement. Your Excellency kills me, and the vassal will take the place of the lower one, which is not good for you at all. On the contrary, the servant wants to establish a trade relationship with the lord of the upper kingdom of the heaven. Hucheng will be open to ships from Xuzhou. There will be an endless stream of businessmen from both sides. Every year, you can tax 10,000 taels.”
Xia Xia Liang whispered to Chutian: "Most of the reason for his request for trade is to make money. He can earn tariffs and the difference in the middle price."
After Xia Liang's reminder, Chu Tian understood what Ping Yisheng thought.
Both sides trade, in fact, both lords can benefit, the loss is the civilians, but the civilians get the goods they want.
"Yes, it is limited to non-military items such as tea, porcelain, silk, calligraphy and painting."
"Naturally."
Ping Yisheng also did not want the few military supplies in the Eastern Ying to flow into the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The two sides have reached a trade agreement, and the merchant ships of Xuzhou Quxian Port and Hirado City can travel. At the same time determine the tariff.
Eastern Han merchant ships in Qu County can use the teleportation array to reach the waters near Hirado Castle to shorten the sailing time. Without the teleportation array at the port, the distance between the two sides would be too far.
Chutian could even use the teleportation array to send Fubo Corps to attack Hirado Castle.
Of course, Chutian would not travel thousands of miles to fight a city in Dongying, which would mean that he would be constantly counterattacked by the lords of Dongying. Unless Chutian has unified the Eastern Han Dynasty, it will not be able to fight for a long time.
The purpose of Ping Yisheng's signing of this treaty was not to attack Qu County. First of all, his navy is not necessarily the opponent of the soon-to-be-established Fubo Legion, and secondly, a sneak attack on Quxian means being attacked by the Xuzhou Legion.
When Hirai Yoshimori was signing a trade treaty, he found his hand holding the brush trembling.
Chutian's "Heavenly Khan" trait also has a suppressing effect on him.
"Your Excellency is a little strange..."
Ping Yisheng felt inexplicably frightened.
"Really?"
Chutian, however, was no different, signing a treaty for trade between the two sides.
The treaty is just a paper document, and Chutian can tear up the treaty at any time and start a war. If necessary, you can also close the teleportation array and shut down the country.
Chutian was a little disgusted with the seclusion of the country. As long as the strength is strong enough and the trade is on the way, there is no need to close the country, because the navy of the Eastern Han Dynasty did not fight others, and others would burn incense and worship Buddha.
Ping Yisheng originally thought that Chutian would make things difficult for him, but Chutian is obviously an enlightened trade school and actively promotes trade between the two sides.
"Zheng Zhilong can come in handy. Take advantage of the trade opportunity to figure out how to get to Hirado Castle and the waters near Hirado Castle. We will also attack Dongying in the future."
When Chu Tian saw Ping Yisheng leaving, his eyes were slightly closed. He has already realized that Ping Yisheng needs money, so he will put aside his contradictions and come to trade.
It happens that Chutian also needs money.
Moreover, Chutian intends to take advantage of trade opportunities to send Zheng Zhilong to explore how to attack Dongying.
"What is the first thing every Eastern Han lord does after unifying the Eastern Han? That is to fight Goryeo and Dongying..."
Chutian has already started planning for the future.
The trade with Hirado Castle was only a small prelude to the conquest of the East.
In Liaodong, Mingguan received a trade request from Zhao Gongzi, the prefect of Donglai, to buy three-eyed fire guns.
"It can add a little trouble to Chu Zimou, and at the same time make a profit from it, why not do it."
At present, only Mingguan in the Eastern Han Dynasty has the ability to produce three-eyed fire cannons. He readily sold 700-shot three-eyed fire cannons to Mr. Zhao, and asked him to form the Guanning Iron Cavalry, causing trouble for Chutian.
"I will also launch an attack on Gongsun Zan and Prince Yan in western Liaoning as soon as possible. While they are competing for Youzhou with Youzhou Mu, I will make a surprise attack in western Liaoning."
Mingguan gave up the endless battle with Goryeo and focused his energy on the Western Liaoning Corridor.
In order to conquer the Goryeo Kingdom, with his strength as a Liaodong prefect, he is somewhat lacking.
In the Protectorate of the Western Regions, the lord Huo An fought with another great lord for control of the Protectorate of the Western Regions~IndoMTL.com~ The two sides fought fiercely.
The population of the Protectorate of the Western Regions is less than ten million. However, if the Protectorate of the Western Regions can be unified and the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions can be forced to surrender, there is not necessarily no hope of dominating Central Asia.
The Western Han general Chen Tang led the Han army and the servant army, beheaded the enemy generals, chased after the victory, and defeated the enemy army!
After several years of experience, the lord Huo An, with a resolute face, said to a general next to him: "Gao Xianzhi, after I unify the Western Regions Protectorate, I will not expand to Yumen Pass. I want to defeat the thirty-six countries and expand to Central Asia. Expand and establish a great empire to rule Central Asia. The vassals in Guannei are strong and strong, and we can be kings in Central Asia and the Western Regions. Maybe we can even invade the Mughals in India.”
Gao Xianzhi held the restless warhorse and looked in the direction of Central Asia.
When all the lords of Guannei were fighting, no one noticed the distant Western Regions Protectorate, let alone that Huo An of the Western Regions Protectorate had become a lord with a population of several million.
It was not until this low-key lord asked the Changan court to become the Protector of the Western Regions that Jiujiu Lao Qin remembered that there was such a lord in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"I want Dong Zhuo to die as soon as possible, so that I can take over Chang'an and hold the emperor to make no ministers. Wenhe, it's up to you to provoke them."
Ji Jiu Lao Qin said to Jia Xu who came to visit the mansion.
＊Gao Xianzhi, the Jiedu envoy of the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty, is good at rushing and has superb mountain marching ability.
