The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 102: Training soldiers
After the world settled down, another six months passed. In the past six months, the whole world has not completely calmed down, but has become more turbulent.
In the past six months, the entire area north of the Yangtze River was ploughed by Zhong Yu, and countless local forces were uprooted by himself.
Those local forces either obey their own orders. If they are strong, they can seal their own country. If they are young, they can only obey the orders obediently under their own command and treat them as fish and meat they slaughtered.
And Zhong Yu did not worry that what he did would arouse the anger of the noble clans in the world, because those big noble clans were doing the same thing as himself.
All the powerful clans have been sealed off in a county by themselves. In order to control the county they belong to, they naturally have to concentrate all their energy and mobilize the energy of their entire clan to level all the rich clans in that county.
let them spit out the fat they swallowed into their mouths obediently, and become ordinary local tycoons who cannot shake their rule under their own control.
, instead of holding countless soldiers in hand, it is possible at any time to rebel and overthrow the power of his rule. So this half a year was a half year of bloodshed, and countless confederate beacons were everywhere.
Even under the rule of Zhong Yu, there were noble clans who took the risk and started to make chaos, but Zhong Yu's long-awaited 400,000 army was settled in a blink of an eye.
Not to mention the other countries. It’s okay if the strength is stronger. If the strength is weak, you can only tie with the people in your own country, or even be annihilated.
I just got a country, but in a blink of an eye I was wiped out by others, and returned to Zhong Yu's hands again. The fate of those people was the radical princes who were sober in an instant.
The means are also eased. The strong ones can naturally be crushed. The weak ones mostly choose to live together peacefully. The local tycoons and their monarchs share the political rights of this territory.
A lot of results have been achieved in a short time. Many tycoons don’t really want to fight to the death with their monarch, and then they are put down by the imperial army that has been waiting outside for a long time, and the whole family can’t be destroyed. Keep one person.
So for a time, the politics in the vassal country is like the Spring and Autumn Period, part of the territory is controlled by the national army, and the rest is allocated to the doctors and nobles in their country.
Although the monarch’s strength and authority will be greatly reduced by doing so, the monarch can use its supreme position and be in a very neutral position.
When there are conflicts among several clans in the country, the monarch can use his position as the master to reconcile the contradictions, so as to profit from it, and slowly cannibalize those clans.
Generally speaking, half a year later, the whole world has calmed down, and the blood shed and the sacrificed population in the past half year has reached tens of millions of people.
The Yellow Turban uprising also harmed more people than Zhangjiao’s Yellow Turban Uprising, with more casualties. This proves that organized forces are more terrible to kill civilians than unorganized forces.
But compared to the dead and injured civilians, Zhong Yu and his princes are not without gains, and the local forces that are completely controlled by them will not be mentioned.
The most important thing is that they bankrupted their families, exhausted all national power and national resources, and trained a good soldier in this turmoil.
The millions of troops trained by Zhong Yu's commander have thoroughly seen blood during this war, and the number has been reduced to 800,000, but it can be regarded as a regular army.
However, it takes a lot of effort before they become elites and become a capable army. So the whole country has been settled, and then I plan to send them to the grassland.
If you haven't fought with the army of the grassland nation, how can you truly claim to be a powerful country? How can the army be called a real strong soldier!
Throughout the long history, the power of the Qin and Zhao armies in the Warring States Period dominated the entire middle and late Warring States period. It is because each of their countries has serious border troubles, which are severely eroded by the Huns and Donghu.
Therefore, the army has fought many battles with the grassland peoples, and the combat effectiveness has been slowly developed. Naturally, they are much better than those in the Central Plains who have never seen the roughness of the grasslands.
The Han was eroded by the Huns. After decades of counterattacks, Emperor Wu of the Han drew up a strong army to fight on the grasslands and cross the desert.
The subsequent Sui and Tang dynasties continued to fight against them because of the powerful Turkic forces on the grasslands, thus training a strong army that crossed East Asia and even Central Asia.
Even in the weaker Ming Dynasty, they dared to go hard with Mongolia in the early stage. Zhu Yuanzhang and his son Zhu Di took the initiative to expedite the grasslands several times to beat Mongolia and fled.
This undoubtedly proves the battle against the grasslands, and victory is a clear proof of whether an army is strong. The history of Chinese civilization is a history of battle between farming civilization and nomadic civilization.
However, this time I will go out on my own and will not send out too many soldiers and horses. Instead, I plan to divide it into several batches, with an average of four months and three batches a year.
The newly trained 800,000 soldiers and horses, in addition to 200,000 left to guard all parts of the Central Plains, the other 600,000 people are divided into three batches, each batch of 200,000.
Such an offensive in turn, even if one group loses, it will not cause a complete collapse of the entire army. On the contrary, it can rely on its own number of advantages to continuously harass the entire nomadic people.
forced them to be in their own offensive state for the whole year, and could only defend themselves passively, and they had the backing of the Great Wall, strong soldiers and horses garrison, and did not worry about them actively attacking.
If they are really mentally stubborn to attack their walls, then they really have to be happy! Use cavalry to attack the city~IndoMTL.com~ Is this kidding me?
After a year or even two years of harassment, the nomads did not have time to graze, and all the males went to the battlefield. The population was definitely lost.
can't support it for a few months, they will definitely retreat, and then the entire grassland will fall into a long tug of war, and the rest is the fate of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the feat of Fenglangjuxu.
The 200,000 offenses cannot be concentrated in one place. I plan to divide them into 200,000 teams, and everyone will attack at will.
Or they can discuss it by themselves and cooperate with each other. On the grassland, large-scale military cluster wars are very few. Most of them are fighting a battle of tens of thousands of people. The loser flees, and the victor sends a minority. The people were chasing and killing each other, and then they kept pulling data.
So the scale of 10,000 people is just right, enough for them to fight a battle, but also to ensure their flexibility, and 10,000 troops can also be used to attack a large tribe. In front of them, the small tribe could only flee while watching the wind.
And the most important point is that I am not short of fighters. There are enough talents to command the soldiers to fight against the nomads in the desert.
As an adult in the Three Kingdoms, the more famous generals Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Tai Shi Ci and so on. There are also more famous monarchs, such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan and other talents, who were summoned to the Central Army by themselves.
These people belonged to their own troops directly under their command, and served them directly, and used them to command those troops in battle. Even if they were defeated, they would not lose too badly.
Well, if you win, it will be a big victory, and it will definitely cause the sparsely populated nomads to suffer heavy losses and pain.
