1. A bad battle is nothing but a bad vulgar
Will it become easier to go from being the general representative of the five counties of Yuanjiang Banguo to the flag head with only one thousand six hundred people?
Of course not!
At best, more than a thousand people on the battlefield are considered as dissatisfied with the group leader. At least half of Yuanjiang is considered as half of the mayor. The number of tasks seems to be quite different.
In fact, it is all illusions, because this era is an era where military and political control are all in charge. In the later generations, dozens of departments have been fully integrated into the audit, logistics, personnel, equipment, training of the army. But now Xiaopingta is doing this writing, which means that from top to bottom, from beginning to end, Xiaopingta is alone.
Moreover, everyone should know more about the nature of the Warring States Daqian name. They should be clear about the good things. They would embrace their own direct flag book, without considering anything else at all. This is just like the troops of Prince William during the First World War, from airships to Prussian Lancers, from armored trains to motorized machine gun groups. Wherever there were a few good soldiers in Germany, they would embrace their own corps.
Yamauchi Yoshiji's tantrum is a complete set of guns, a stick, a knife, a cannon, a bow and arrow, a boat, a horse, and even a plan and a novelist!
The salary ranges from the top 1,000 guanwen to the bottom 50 guanwen. There are all kinds of soldiers, including the most common ones that use long spears, naginatas, bows, iron cannons, tai knives, iron rods, gold gangs, wild tai knives, stone throwing ropes, and slingshots. Let's not talk about him about these. There is also a heroic warrior who is known as a rival to ten people, using wooden sticks!? How are you really useful! His big wooden stick that is more than three feet long and huh, so what if he wears a helmet, he will beat you all the yellow, white, and red ones.
You samurai, can you all think about making a trick?
Of course, putting aside these more than a hundred kamamoto samurai who belonged to Yamauchi Yoshiji, the remaining foot light is much more unified, basically all spear foot light and bow and arrow foot light, and a small number of iron cannon foot light. But do you think everything will be fine? It is impossible.
These more than 1,500 were paid for by Yamauchi Yoshiji. The remaining ones were divided into more than 100 samurai. This was all because of the nobles' obligation to expand their military forces, and the samurai warriors were then collected according to their salary. In other words, they were obviously always prepared, but they could not concentrate on training.
These are all superficial bad things, and there are many more finer layers. For example, Xiaopingta, because she is rich, the more than 50 people who have been recruited according to the aristocratic military expansion obligation are all iron cannons, three lower-level warriors, as well as several flag-holding and attendants. In normal times, the maintenance, training, equipment, and supplies of these soldiers are entirely maintained by Xiaopingta alone.
Can all the samurai have sufficient financial resources like Koheita? There are wealthy samurai, and there are naturally poor samurai. Even samurai, who has a good income, only have thirty bows and feet, ten iron cannons and twenty spears.
Both of them have more than a thousand stakes of knowledge and practice. Not only are there different types of troops, but they even have different armors. Xiaopingta's foot light, at least there are cheap basic equipment such as Domain, Array Tail, and Grass Pleat. However, Uncle Tsuna's archery foot light and iron cannon foot light are not worn on armor! That's right, the old man is reluctant to wear armor for long-range soldiers! He only wears armor for long spear foot light that participates in the melee.
Then when there was a real war, the 1,600 flags in the mountain that looked majestic and famous, with flags waving and spears like a forest. In fact, it looks good on the surface. Many of the expanded footsteps are usually tenants in the village of the flag warriors and servants at home. Except for the hat on the top of their heads, the armor ranges from existence to none, from good to bad, and from various to various.
This is the real state of the standing soldiers. As for mobilizing soldiers, everyone can speak with their own abilities.
At the earliest, Uncle Tsunara had more than fifty knots of land on paper. He had lived in it. He had a horse and a suit of armor. This was considered a good one among the Fenggong people. The few Fenggong people participated in the battle on foot and became a poor infantryman.
Then, in the final analysis, poverty!
The intensity and intensity of the war are increasing. Now sometimes a year or even five months of war is being broken. If the strongest man in the country is outside, agriculture will inevitably be affected. Even if the war is victorious, the opponent will have played with you for five months, and the agriculture in his territory will also play. Then even a snatch may not be able to make up for the losses in his family.
The final result was that as the Yamauchi family fought for years and their territory expanded, the soldiers were gradually falling into poverty. The best example in history was Takeda Shingen, who fought from a mere 50,000 knots of Karma, and finally became a worldly tycoon of nearly 500,000 knots. However, as the territory expanded, he became poorer and poorer.
Even if Kingsoft has output, this income cannot make up for the "destruction" of war on its territory. The pillars of feudal countries are always agriculture. Agriculture is affected. No matter how many battles are won, it is just a vicious cycle of fighting with war.
However, agricultural technology is now innovating and constantly improving, and the second phase of production and green manure have been greatly promoted. Unless modern technology is used to produce fertilizers on a large scale and cultivate good seeds, the improvement of agriculture will be actually very limited.
Especially when everyone works hard to grow some food, they will definitely take care of the people in the entire territory first, and then take out the best rice and sell it to supplement military funds. In the end, even if Daming, a 100,000-yuan territory, can save how much food to fight? You are still thinking about robbing it.
Then the more you fight, the more you robbed the agriculture in the territory, the greater the "destruction" of the agriculture in the territory. When all the surrounding enemy countries' agriculture is destroyed by war, in order to find new places to rob, Takeda's battle against the Ouda's path to no return will be taken.
Another thing is the shortage of manpower, which is only 10 million people in Japan. (To be honest, Japan's area is larger than that of Germany.) Although there are many mountains, there are many plains along the coast and rivers, and people have already developed terraces. At present, there are still many lands and few people. If new fields are developed, there may not be enough manpower to cultivate them.
Although Shinono country also has certain horse farming, horses are not resistant to rough feeding. The cost is too high. The country is generally poor. Many people cannot eat enough and cannot afford to promote it.
Xiaoheita took office on the first day, and looked at the books and the entire army of the flag group, and knew that this task was definitely not easy. If you follow the old and just maintain the status quo, it was very simple. Just learn from your predecessor, Konishihara Saemon. Pay your salary on time and keep your food in war. The soldiers will be satisfied and feel that life can continue.
However, if you want to strengthen the training of these standing soldiers, improve the equipment of soldiers, and change the concept of soldiers. Turn them into soldiers who can fight hard and fight for a long time, you have to spend a lot of effort and use great efforts.
