Chapter 187: The Ambition of the Great Husband, Tiyulin 100,000, Stepping on the Four Seas!.
Although the Jin State was defeated, its foundation was still strong, because the Jin State was born on behalf of Liao and occupied all the territory and territorial subjects of the Liao State outside the Great Wall.
And whether it is the Khitan of the Liao State in the past, or the earlier Turks, Rouran, Xiongnu, Xianbei, any steppe empire or nomadic people in history when they were strong, they were known to control strings hundreds of thousands, more than the Central Plains.
Why is that?
Because nomads, almost everyone is a soldier, can ride a horse, hold a bow, and are very constrained by the land.
When the water and grass were abundant, the nomads were nomadic everywhere, and when the year was bad, the nomads went south to plunder the Central Plains.
The Central Plains is an agrarian empire, and the people are greatly bound by the land, and it is destined that everyone cannot be a soldier, and under normal circumstances, the surplus of taxes cultivated by ten men in the rear is enough for a soldier to go out to fight.
As for other military consumption and logistics transfer, more Ding Zhuang is needed to complete.
On average, about thirty to fifty Ding Zhuang worked in the back to transport before they could afford a standing soldier in armor. This is caused by the different economic attributes and survival methods of the 09 North Country and the Central Plains.
Therefore, although the population of the northern country is small, it is possible to pull out hundreds of thousands of cavalry, but these hundreds of thousands may not all be armored and iron horses.
In the Jin Kingdom now, there are at least 100,000 known Iron Cavalry Chen soldiers alone. In Shangjing, Huanglongfu and other places, there must be reserve iron horses.
Moreover, if Jin Guo is really ruthless, and recruits hundreds of thousands of Hu horses who can hold a bow and ride a horse, he can still do it.
Not to mention the Khitan Liao, Xi, Bohai tribes, just north of the Yin Mountain, Mongolian steppe, Murwei, and Menghu tribes, they are all subordinates of the Jin State.
These tribes, that is, the ancestors of the later Genghis Khan Temujin, were the ancestors of the Mongol cavalry!
Therefore, Chai Hao did not take it for granted that he could ignore the heritage of the Jin Kingdom and be arrogant because he had defeated the Jin Army a few times.
Only by constantly becoming stronger and constantly growing in strength is the invincible truth!
Therefore, compared with the strong foundation of the number of cavalry in the Jin Kingdom, although Chai Hao has continued to expand his army recently, the number of cavalry is still too small.
If there are 100,000 cavalry like the Lin Army under his command, then not to mention the Jin Kingdom, even these four seas and six combinations can also be leveled.
That’s right, cultivating 100,000 feather forests is exactly Chai Hao’s goal!
Now under Chai Hao’s command, an elite iron horse like the Yulin Army is only three thousand, but it can come and go freely in the 100,000 gold army. This point is that the cavalry army that has not been formed for a long time, such as the Tianyu Army and the Carrying Ghost Army, are still far from comparable.
Therefore, if Chai Hao had a fine horse like a hundred thousand Lin Army, then he would be able to push tens of thousands of miles all the way from the coast of the East China Sea to the edge of the Atlantic Ocean!
Of course, 100,000 feather forests cannot be achieved overnight, but it must be gradual.
Therefore, Chai Hao selected 10,000 elite cavalry suitable cavalry from the remaining infantry and the rebel army’s more than 100,000 pawns, and equipped this 10,000 new cavalry army with captured Jin army war horses.
Although in the battle of Hedong, the iron horses of the Jin army alone were annihilated by 50,000 successively, but Chai Hao did not capture enough horses to equip 50,000 cavalry.
Because war horses are also expensive consumables, many of the war horses of the Jin army were killed by shelling and arrows when they were ambushed. There are also many who died alive under the high-intensity escape of the Jin army.
Some were killed by the Jin army to feed themselves and eat meat.
Even the last war horses that survived, some of them have been seriously overdrawn and disabled, and can only be used as pulling carts, and can no longer be used as war horses.
Therefore, it is already good to have 30,000 fairly healthy war horses and equip 10,000 new cavalry troops. This new cavalry, Chai Hao gave it the military number – Broken Army!
With Wang Yu Han Shizhong, who had held Taiyuan for half a year, as the main general, and Liangshan’s old subordinate Sai Rengui Guo Sheng and other horsemen as deputy generals. As for Sai Rengui Guo Sheng’s good friend Xiaowen Hou Lü Fang, he had long been an adjutant general in Yue Fei’s back army.
“King Yu of the Broken Army, Han Shizhong, must do his best, liver and brain, and train an iron horse for the Great King that can urge the strong to break through and traverse the world!”
When awarding the banner to the Broken Army, Wang Yu and Han Shizhong, the second general, knelt on one knee in front of Chai Hao, knocked on the breastplate with one hand, and Zheng Chi said in a loud voice.
Wang Yu was the deputy envoy of the former Song Dynasty’s Hedong Forbidden Army, and Han Shizhong was a general from the Western Army. Although these two people had previously commanded mostly infantry troops, they were also proficient in riding and shooting.
At this moment, there are 10,000 fully equipped cavalry under his command, although they are newly formed, and their combat experience is still insufficient, but it is enough to make their hearts surging!
When he was under the imperial court, it was Wang Yu and other high-ranking officials who were deputy envoys, how could there have been 10,000 cavalry under his command? Don’t say 10,000, not a thousand!
In his eyes, it was much faster to be the main general in the Broken Army and command tens of thousands of horsemen than to fu Hedong and control tens of thousands of forbidden army pawns.
And Han Shizhong’s joy was only greater than Wang Yu’s.
After all, Wang Yu is the one who has commanded ten thousand troops, and Han Shizhong did not have more than four thousand pawns when he had the most under his command, and now he suddenly commanded a 10,000-strong iron horse, and the agitation in his heart was turbulent!
He vowed to use this blood to build the Broken Army, making it a strong soldier under Chai Hao, and even not weaker than the cause of the Yulin Army!
Only in this way can he be worthy of Chai Hao’s knowledge of him!
Moreover, from the moment the establishment of the Broken Army, the officers and men of the whole army had a special sense of honor. Because the word “broken” is of great significance!
The other iron horses under Chai Hao’s command are all Yulin, Tianyu, Iron Horse, Longjie, and Back Wei, these numbers are certainly majestic, and they have also been thoroughly distinguished by Yulin Jun and other generals.
But in comparison, the 223 generals of the Broken Capture Army are still more satisfied with the number of the Broken Army! Because this army has been born since the moment it was born!
North of the Yellow River and south of the Great Wall, Chai Hao Mo’s army divided into Youzhou, Hebei, and Hedong, and stockpiled grain and training on the spot.
The people of Hedong and Hebei, who had been devastated by the war, because of Chai Hao’s protection and rule, gradually came out of the pain of the war and began to actively cultivate and produce for military funds and to support the Chai King army that protected them.
Within Chai Hao’s territory, the situation is hot and good.
And south of the Yellow River, Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, saw this scene, the more nervous he became.
Under the auspices of the new Prime Minister Qin Huan, the Western Army Shi Dao and other Shaanxi Five Roads Western Army, the 30,000 brave soldiers under Wang Yuan, the commander-in-chief of Xiongzhou, and the soldiers and horses of Jingdong, Jingxi, and Huainan were all transferred to garrison along the Yellow River.
And in the people, it was strong and strong, and it was organized as a box army to assist in defense. In a short period of time, a momentum of 400,000 people was formed.
In order to provide for these 400,000 people, Qin Hui took charge again, and increased the Xia Fu of the people under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty by another 20%! For this reason, the people couldn’t help but complain and scolded Qin Hui one after another.
Some of the people were overwhelmed, and even gave up their fields and businesses, stole across the Yellow River with their families, and went to Chai Hao, the king of Zhou.
In this regard, Wang Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army and Xiongzhou, who defended the Yellow River, turned a blind eye…
