The crossing starts from the Datang Shuanglong

Chapter 74
There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, boundless.

Today's Chu Tianxiu actually doesn't know how many people he has under his command, and he doesn't even have a certain number.

This is not because Chu Tianxiu has invested too little in the military, or because he is not sensitive to numbers, but because the forces under him are too scattered, the structure is too complicated, and the structure is too chaotic.

In terms of what can be done, there are about 1 direct descendants of Ma Zhenhai, and more than half of them are the various Yangtze River water bandits he once defeated, scattered, and recruited. The defeated army and defeated generals, and the original Dajianghui surrendered the bandits.

These soldiers and horses are of good physical fitness, and under the leadership of the commander Gao Zhandao, they have received strict military training. They are considered to be the most elite force under Chu Tianxiu.However, due to the complicated origin of this army, the town navy has poor discipline and is too rebellious, which has become a problem.

Apart from Zhen Haijun, another direct lineage of Chu Tianxiu is the Zhuhua Gang Jiangyin sub-helm.

When Chu Tianxiu first came to Jiangyin, the limitations of the Zhuhua Gang's Jiangyin sub-rudder were actually on the verge of destruction.But after Chu Tianxiu's repeated rectification, its form was like pouring oil into the fire, and the situation rose instantly.

In just a few months, other gangs, large and small, were quickly annexed in Jiangyin, and the gangs of those gangs were brought under the rule. The forces infiltrated into the neighboring Yixing County, Wuxi County, Jinling County and other territories under the rule of the Iron Cavalry Association, sucking blood from these places frantically.

In terms of the number of rounds, the current Jiangyin sub-rudder seems to be just a sub-rudder under the control of the Zhuhua Gang, but the real power is probably not much weaker than that of the Zhuhua Gang. There must be [-] to [-] people.

Although the military literacy of the Jianghu gang members cannot be compared with the real elite soldiers, there is an essential difference in quality and discipline, but they are still a very impressive force.

In addition, there are militia units formed by Chu Zhi in Yizhou, Lu Song, and Chu Qian in Zhoushan. The total number is about 5000 people, and among the intelligence units controlled by Chu Liang, there are also special forces. With the cooperation of the armed forces, there are about 2000 people.

There is no doubt that this is a huge and incomparable force.

Given that the military equipment in the Jiangnan area is not yet prosperous, if Chu Tianxiu chooses the right time to launch all this force to the Jiangnan area, then I am afraid that it only takes a thunderbolt to kill more than ten people in the south of the Yangtze River. The states and counties are no longer owned by the Sui Dynasty.

……

"My lord, these days, I have been thinking hard and planning to reorganize the army under the lord's rule, but I don't think that the lord will bring good generals during a trip to Pengcheng. It's really gratifying."

After Chu Tianxiu took Qin Qiong to go around under his rule and let him know about his own strength, he took him to see his chief manager, Xu Xingzhi, to see how he should arrange this man in the future. General Qin Shubao.

I don't want Xu Xingzhi to be overjoyed immediately after seeing Qin Qiong. It seems that he had heard of the reputation of General Qin Qiong in the past, so he congratulated Chu Tianxiu.

"Oh, military adviser! A few days ago, you made a plan to rectify the military system. Could it be that now you have a suitable method?" Chu Tianxiu asked with a heartbeat.

"To tell you the truth, my lord, I have indeed made some plans after careful consideration these days. I plan to serve as a soldier for the time being, and recruit troops in parallel.

In addition to General Gao's suppressing the navy and still leading 5000 troops, it is necessary to reorganize the Jiangyin sub-helm's gang, split up 3000 elites, and set up a new army to prepare for the attack on Goguryeo.Then three zhechong prefectures must be set up in Hudouzhou, Yizhou, and Yongdong respectively, recruiting 1000, [-], and [-] soldiers respectively, and they will be organized into mansions and supplied by the governments of the three places. "

While talking to Chu Tianxiu, Xu Xingyi took out a scroll, which contained more than tens of thousands of words. Except for the chief officers who did not recommend these armies, they recorded in detail the number and organization of these armies. , Military resource consumption, etc., the details are almost done to the extreme.

After Chu Tianxiu carefully read the contents of the scroll, and chewed the contents word by word, he suddenly understood.

Xu Xingzhi's reorganization this time seems to be just an expansion of the army, but in fact it is to dilute the original recruitment of Chu Tianxiu in the early days of the uprising without causing turmoil and maximizing the limit of the power under his rule. system, and initially established the Fubing system on his territory.

He now has relatively few territories, so naturally there are more recruits and fewer government soldiers.But if he rebels in the future and conquers the city, then as his territory expands, the government military system will naturally replace the current recruitment system silently and unintentionally.

This is a good thing!
If it weren't for the fact that the establishment of the Fubing system was too troublesome, and Chu Tianxiu was eager to expand his power and grow himself at the fastest speed, otherwise he would be more inclined to the Fubing system, a powerful and powerful classical military recruitment system.

"Shubao, it's a bit of a coincidence now. Since I'm going to train a new army here, let's let you be the captain of Zhechong in Hudou County and train five thousand new troops. What do you think?"

"My lord, you are being polite! Shubao is new, yet he can be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility by the lord, how dare he refuse to obey and die before the lord!"

A former Sui army officer like Qin Shubao, who is unruly and unruly, but also very particular about the principle of the king's fate, how could he refute Chu Tianxiu's first appointment.

What's more, for a general like him, it's easier to command those soldiers who have nothing and build them by themselves, and can completely avoid some big troubles of running-in.

In particular, he has seen the prosperity of Hudouzhou, and knows that if he sets up Zhechong Mansion here, not to mention 5000 people, even 1 people can be forcibly drawn out. Very skyrocketing, naturally you have to be very satisfied.

"The situation in Yongdong is mediocre, let's transfer Chu Yong there. With his ability, he is enough to become a general of a thousand men."

After Chu Tianxiu arranged for Qin Shubao, based on the situation in Yongdong, he arranged for Chu Yong, who had the best relationship with the commander of Yongdong and the most aggressive temperament, to transfer him. After partnering with him, he hesitated for a while. After a while, someone turned around and asked Xu Xingzhi:

"As for the side of Yizhou, it is necessary to choose a general who can go to Nanyang. Has Chen Changlin in the south of the Yangtze River agreed to join me?"

"Chen Changlin is desperate now, and he is bent on revenge. He has already agreed to our side. I just hope that after our army accepts him, we can kill Shen Faxing's son Shen Leng in the future, and avenge his family."

The efficiency of Xuxingzhi's administration is really impressive. In less than half a month, Chen Changlin, a key figure who will control the navy and go to Nanyang in the future, has already been recruited, and the terms have been negotiated.

"Naturally! Shen Faxing is the prefect of Wuxing. He has great prestige in the south of the Yangtze River. He is my enemy. Or, after Chen Changlin came to Hudouzhou, I arranged for him to go to Yizhou and serve as the captain of Zhechong there. It can just help Chu Zhi to attack Nanyang faster."

After Chu Tianxiu got this accurate answer, he arranged without thinking.The form in Yizhou is very different from Hudouzhou and Yongdong. It is far away from the mainland and is the key tentacles leading to Nanyang. The navy has always been the first. Sending Chen Changlin there this time can just help him organize Bring out a qualified navy.

As for the planned new army, Chu Tianxiu didn't say anything, and Xu Xingzhi didn't ask.

Both of them knew very well that this future army was prepared for the upcoming Li Jing.

Since ancient times, forming an army of gang children in a pure sense has been a big problem.

I am afraid that only the famous general in Chu Tianxiu's mouth can unite those who seem to be strong and heavy, but in fact they are mobs who are not as good as farmers, and train a team of real strong army.

If not for the existence of such a person, Xu Xingzhi would have believed in Chu Tianxiu's gaze, and in addition to the urgent need for troops recently, he would have even excluded the gang members, lest a mouse feces mixed with a pot of soup would not give birth to This kind of waste utilization mentality forcefully saves such a team of people.
