Aztec Eternals

Busy days are always fast, and in a blink of an eye, it's the beginning of February. Fresh shoots sprout from the old trees outside the Palace of Winds, welcoming the warmer and brighter sunlight. The north wind is lingering, and the city of Qin Congcan is full of devout prayers. The people of the capital sang the glory of the Lord God, as if they were still in the New Year's ceremony.

On the New Year's Day, all the generals gathered together, and many officers from various departments were also in the capital. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiulote summoned all the trusted generals in turn, consulted many generals for advice, and drew on some historical experience. Finally, he sorted out a reform plan for the legion, convened the generals, and officially promulgated it in the kingdom!

The new regiment reform plan consists of two parts. One is to standardize the military system: to set up military posts with accurate classifications, and to clarify the establishment of troops at all levels. The second, more eye-catching, is the reorganization of the army: the reorganization of the kingdom's legion, and the determination of the positions of the generals.

Shulot has been involved in military affairs for many years, and he has long thought about the military system of the alliance. This plan had been brewing in his mind for a long time. It's just that the reform of the legion is very important and should not be taken lightly. He has been waiting until now, when the political situation of the kingdom has been determined at the beginning, and it is considered that there is a suitable opportunity for implementation.

The first part of the corps reform is to standardize the military system, which is roughly in accordance with the "May 2" system.

First of all, "ten" is a number that can be counted with both hands. A group of 10 people is the smallest unit of the army, and a group leader is set up to manage it. Every ten people share a wheelbarrow for placing baggage. Two groups of 20 people form a small team with a captain. This is the customary number for the league's scout squad, often expressed as four slaps. The team leader and the team leader are held by the second to fourth level samurai, belonging to the lowest level of non-commissioned officers.

Next, five squads form a squadron of 100 people, with a centurion. The two squadrons formed a brigade of 200 people, with a length of 200. 200 people are usually used as a standard tactical unit, which can effectively perform basic tactical tasks such as assault, harassment, encirclement, occupation, etc. Centurions and two hundred chiefs usually correspond to the fourth-level senior warriors and military nobles, who are the backbone of the kingdom's legion and the mid-level officers of the army.

From the 100-man squadron up, war priests and military medical officers are additionally added to each level of establishment, and the positions are similar to the adjutants of the same level. War priests are responsible for daily prayers, pre-war mobilization, and post-war funerals. The duties of military medical officers are daily epidemic prevention in the military, the preparation of herbal medicines, and the treatment of wounded after the war. Military medical officers are either experienced warriors or priests knowledgeable in herbal medicine.

Further up, the five brigades are organized into battalions of 1,000 men, and the battalion commander is the commander of the thousand. A thousand-person battalion is the standard unit for regional garrisoning. According to the alliance tradition, the battalion commander of the Thousand Talents Battalion corresponds to the more senior military nobles, or the less senior hereditary nobles.

Each thousand-man battalion has different tendencies according to different equipment and soldiers, and can be roughly divided into two types: melee battalion and long-range battalion. Thousands of soldiers in close combat often use spears or battle sticks in battle formations, and generally require shields and a certain proportion of battle axes. Long-range battalions of thousands will be armed with longbows, large crossbows, or, more commonly, spears. Also belonging to the battalion-level establishment, there are artillery battalions that have not yet been formed.

Finally, 4-8 thousand battalions form a kingdom legion. The Legion is the strategic unit of the kingdom, and the Legion Commander is the real responsibility. The 4,000-man legion is called the small legion, and the 8,000-man Hikipili is the full-sized legion. The legion commander needs at least the title of a hereditary nobleman and is one of the most important figures in the kingdom's military and political affairs.

From 10-man groups, 20-man squads, 100-man squadrons, 200-man brigade, 1,000-man battalion, to 4,000-8,000-man legions, from the newly added priests, military doctors, to the differentiation of a thousand-man battalion, the new military system clarifies The traditional tribal organization was unified, and the number of troops at all levels was unified, which helped to increase the generals' control over the army.

In fact, the new military reform did not cause any controversy. The generals bowed their heads and obeyed when the king gave an order.

After standardizing the military system, the second part of the reform is the reorganization of the Kingdom Legion. The Mexica Legion, the Tarrasco Army, and the tribal soldiers of various tribes must be dispersed and integrated, and unified under the same banner of the black wolf king.

The organization and size of the legion will directly affect the position of the generals. Only by relying on the supreme prestige of the king and under the condition that most samurai obey, can the army be effectively reorganized. After the news of the reorganization of the legion came out, it caused a lot of competition among the generals.

Shulot continued to meet with generals, summon cronies, and appease officers at all levels. It was not until late February that the king established a specific legion establishment.

Before the reorganization, the kingdom's military armed forces were as high as 60,000 or 70,000. Among them, there were more than 14,000 Mexica legions in the direct line, about 50,000 troops from Tarasco in the field, and two or three thousand scattered soldiers from the Texos and Chichimec tribes.

More than half of the legions of the Tarrasco Kingdom's extreme mobilization were successively inherited by the feudal kingdom in the lake. For the total population of more than 600,000 in the three counties of the Fengguo, the ratio of soldiers and civilians at this level will definitely not be sustainable for a long time. Therefore, the reorganization of the legion is naturally the drawdown of the army.

The light wind swayed the torches, and the solemn hall was solemn, except for the rustling of the armor. Shirot sat high on the throne, and in front of him was a crowd of black generals, all of them were awe-inspiring.

"Wang Ling: Set up the King's Guard Corps, with a total of 6,000 people. It has 2,500 Bronze Armor Guards, 1,500 Rifle Guards, and 2,000 Vanguard Throwers. The commanders of the legion are Honorable Nobles, Holy Eagle Warrior Commander, and Bertard!"

With a calm face, Bertard stepped forward and knelt down to worship. With a solemn expression, Xiulott gave him a scepter that symbolized the status of the legion commander, as well as a brand-new commander-in-chief weapon, a Qin-style bronze sword.

"The Imperial Guard Corps will hold high the royal banner of the Black Wolf. Take my scepter and rule for me; take my long sword and kill the enemy for me!"

"Your Highness, I would like to die for you."

Bertard bowed his head in a salute. There is great power in his short words.

"Bottard, my knight commander, you will lead the Bronze Armored Army personally and accompany me day and night. My safety is entrusted to you!"

"Your Highness, I will surely die before you."

The samurai chief affirmed.

Shirot nodded slightly and shook the head of the samurai's hair.

From three months ago, the Guard Corps began to recruit elites from various ministries, and it had been formed by this time. All six thousand men in the regiment will be out of production. These elite warriors will maintain high-intensity daily training, accept the religious baptism of priests, and always prepare for the sacred war.

The core of the Bronze Armor is 2,500 people, including 500 jaguar warriors in heavy armor and 2,000 longbow bodyguards in medium armor. The Bronze Armored Army will always accompany the king, guarding the safety of the king. Under the protection of the new bronze armor, the combat power of this elite pro-army will surpass that of any imperial guard in the world, enough to deal with a sudden attack on the scale of 10,000 people.

"Fifty years of life are like dreams and illusions... As a king, it is so important to do a good job of guarding your body!"

Distant thoughts flashed across the king's mind. He paused slightly and continued to solemnly promulgate the will.

"The Imperial Guard Corps, the 1,500-strong Crossbow Guard, is led by the hereditary noble, the eagle warrior Barda!"

Barda has returned from the capital. Hearing Wang Ling, he bowed his head and stepped forward with a respectful expression, knelt on one knee and saluted. As the envoy of the feudal kingdom in the lake, an obsidian necklace bestowed by King Avet on his neck was flashing under the firelight.

The Crossbow Guard is a temple guard that uses the crossbow. It belongs to the devout religious legion. It can be used in ranged and melee combat. This elite crossbow barracks was originally led by veteran Etalic. It's just that Etalic has already gone to the southern Zicao County to take a seat, and Shilot let Barda take over this elite guard.

Barda has long followed the king. He has never shown dazzling military talent, and he is just an ordinary warrior in martial arts. It's just that he keeps his own feet, and his qualifications are extremely deep, but he has survived and occupied a place among the generals. The rank of the Imperial Guard is half a level higher than that of an ordinary legion. With his experience and qualifications, he is enough to command a small legion of 4,000 people.

"The vanguard throws 2,000 people, led by hereditary nobles, the black wolf Toltek!"

Hearing Wang Ling, the black wolf Toltek went up to the hall with a muffled voice, bowing his head and leading the order.

The Vanguard Throwing Battalion is actually caltrop-throwing tribal warriors, chosen from among the Turks and Chichimek tribesmen. These barbarian warriors wear light armor and hold short spears. They are agile and light, and they are not afraid of death. They were able to run quickly across the battlefield, throwing exploding caltrops and javelins with bronze spears. Depending on the unit's characteristics, they can be used for constantly moving harassment, or for siege with high casualties.

Brave, bold, and daring, Toltec was the perfect man to command this brute force. But for this position, Black Wolf himself was not satisfied. He made illustrious military exploits in the Western Expedition, and his exploits were enough to command a legion.

After thinking about it for a long time, Shulot decided to polish his love general's temperament and improve his ability before making a big use. The king then placed Toltec in the Guard Corps, and instructed Black Wolf to be patient, follow Bertard, and learn the strategy of unifying the army.

"Wang Ling: Set up the Gyeonggi Corps, with a total of 8,000 people. It has 3,000 Mexica warriors, 2,000 sky warriors, 2,000 Qin Congcan warriors, and 1,000 Chingambat warrior camps. The commanders of the army are honorable nobles and holy city warriors. Sir, Oloshi!"

Olosh looked solemn and fell to the ground in awe. Shirot also gave him a scepter and a bronze sword.

"The Gyeonggi Legion will hold high the flag of the Condor Legion. Orosh, the heartland core of the feudal country, the capital of Qin Congcan, I will give it to you!"

"His Royal Highness, with me here, I will definitely take good care of the capital's hometown!"

Oloshi clenched his fists in his chest and patted his chest hard. Seeing this familiar movement, Shiroute smiled.

"Mr. Oloshi, I'm always at ease when you come to do things. You will lead the Mexica warriors, and the holy city warriors are included. I will allocate enough bows and arrows. Train the warriors well, let They all master basic archery skills and reduce casualties in wartime...Teacher, I can only feel at ease when the capital is handed over to you!"

The king smiled and whispered a few words before ordering again in awe.

"There are 2,000 sky warriors, led by hereditary nobles, the head of the sky family, and Horta! 2,000 warriors of Qin Congcan, led by the hereditary nobles, the head of the gray soil family, and Puapu! There are 1,000 warriors in the Chingambat warrior camp, with military aristocrats, industrial and mining Director, Commander Nekali!"

The three of them stepped forward at the same time. Horta looked respectful, Puap was beaming. Nekali suppressed the excitement in his heart, glanced at the king at the top, and then glanced at the generals around him. After more than ten years in the army, he finally reached the ranks of senior generals.

"I finally made it to the main hall, although as the head of the miners..."

Nekali's heart was tumbling, and he saluted solemnly on his face.

"His Royal Highness, I am willing to fly for you and live for your will!"

"Very good! Hold a battle stick, fight for me, and serve the alliance. The light of the Lord God will shine on you!"

Shirot shook the hair of the three of them in turn, and gave a few words of encouragement.

In the Gyeonggi Corps, the Mexica warriors and the Prepecha warriors each accounted for half. The Prepecha warriors were all selected from the descending army, and were divided into two divisions: Horta and Puap. Among them, the sky warriors are from the Chapala Lake area, and the Qin Congcan warriors are from around the capital, and the two are not familiar with each other. The design and arrangement of this kind of legion itself contains some kind of checks and balances.

"Wang Ling: Set up the Kingdom's first spear corps, with a total of 8,000 people. It has 6,000 spear warriors and 2,000 militia archers. The commander of the army is a hereditary noble, Kuluka! The flags are spears and crocodiles!"

In the Mexican calendar, the first to the twentieth are represented by different symbols, the symbol of one being the crocodile and the symbol of the second being the wind.

The monkey Kuluka's eyes were bright, but his expression remained calm. He carefully took the scepter and long sword of the Legion Commander, and bowed down again.

"Your Highness, I will die for you."

Shirot nodded with a smile, and shook the monkey's hair.

"Monkey, the First Pike Legion is fully staffed. You and I will go to Hekou County in the north, and then be stationed there to guard against the canines in the north and the Lake Chapala region in the west."

"His Royal Highness, I will guard the north!"

"Not only must we defend well, but we must also take the initiative to attack and loot the population. Well, I will talk to you in detail on the way to the north."

"Follow your will!"

Shirot smiled with satisfaction and patted the other person's shoulder.

The predecessor of the First Pike Legion was the Mexica Pike Legion, which was actually composed of elite militiamen who were promoted to samurai. During the Western Expedition, the Pike Legion died a lot, so two battalions of archers in Prepecha were added. These militia archers have been selected and are skilled in archery and have good morale. They hold long wooden bows or long bamboo bows, move flexibly, and can form an effective complement to the long spear phalanx.

The 1st Pike Legion will sit in the north. The monkey Kuluka served as the head of the regiment and was also in charge of local military and political affairs.

"Wang Ling: Set up the Kingdom's Second Pike Legion with a total of 8,000 people. It has 6,000 elite pike militiamen and 2,000 militia archers. The commander of the legion is a hereditary nobleman, Ezpan! The flag is the spear and the wind!"

With joy in his eyes, Ezpan stepped forward with a respectful expression. He took the scepter and long sword of the legion commander, looked at it with light in his eyes, and immediately fell down on the ground, paying homage.

"Your Highness, you are my only sun, the light that holds my life!"

Shiroute laughed. He commanded loudly.

"Ezpan, the Second Spear Legion is mainly composed of militiamen, all from the descendants of the Western Expedition. You have to step up your training and organize one or two! The priest's teaching is the top priority, and the legion's fields will also be assigned. You are based in the southern part of Lake Patzcuaro, so keep an eye on your surroundings!"

"Your Highness, follow your will! The Second Spear Legion has been selected. Their loyalty to you will be as indestructible as a rock like mine. I will pay attention to the south!"

Ezpan kept lying down to answer, respectfully not raising his head. He didn't walk backwards until the answer was over. Seeing the scepter in Ezpan's hand, the generals were a little jealous. The black wolf with its head held high pouted, and simply looked up.

The Second Pike Corps were all selected from the surrendered troops in Tuntian. Due to the heavy financial pressure of the kingdom, neither of the two spear corps could be completely out of production. They own farmland at the station, cultivate it during busy farming season, accumulate food for expedition, train during slack farming season, and prepare for war.

Shirott held the divine scepter and looked around. The generals bowed their heads. After a while, the king tapped the stony floor with the end of the divine scepter. A crisp ding-dong sounded, announcing the end of the military conference.

"Return to camp, strengthen training, and prepare for war!"

"Follow your will!"

Soon, the generals saluted and dispersed, leaving only the king in armor, thinking alone in the hall.

After the kingdom's army was reorganized, there were a total of four field corps, including the Imperial Guard, Gyeonggi, the First Spear, and the Second Spear, with a total of 30,000 soldiers. There were fourteen thousand Mexica warriors, fourteen thousand Prepecha warriors, and two thousand tribal warriors.

The design of this proportion of soldiers also comes from a certain balance. With the return and attachment of the people in the feudal state, the number of soldiers from the local lake area will gradually increase, and eventually they will far exceed the limited number of Mexica warriors.

Overall, this reorganization removed 35,000 Tarrasco troops from the expedition to ease the financial pressure on the Lake District.

Among them, the 30,000 Tuntian Army will arrange kinship marriages~www.readwn.com~ It takes several years to digest. These trained Ding Zhuang will integrate into normal Mintun villages and serve as professional logistical corps in large-scale wars. The other 5,000 mined troops will be replaced by imported slaves in turn, and gradually turn into garrison troops in the southwest mining area. In addition to the four legions in the field, villages and towns and villages in various places will issue weapons and form militias according to a certain proportion of the population.

Thinking of this, Shilot raised his head and looked at the distant sky.

"With a population of more than 600,000, it maintains a huge army of 30,000 that can fight in the field... Even if there are huge profits from copper and glass, and food from military and civilian villages, it is still difficult to last long. Haha, so much military force and foreign expeditions are inevitable. Must do!"

The king's laughter dissipated in the long wind, and soon disappeared silently. The fire flickered brightly, with a burning will, deep into the night.

A few days later, as February came to an end, the north wind carried a dash of warmth. The Imperial Guard Corps and the First Spear Corps set off from the capital at the same time, heading to Hekou County. The king's flag of the black wolf fluttered high, and more than 10,000 warriors had clanging leaves. The army went all the way, against the long wind coming from the plateau, and marched to the north.
