Chapter 472: The Army Ready to Conquer the West

"Your Highness, the new army has now recruited more than 300 people. Although the selection criteria for the new army are very strict, but because the salary and benefits offered are very generous, there are still a lot of people who come to sign up."

According to this trend, enough people should be recruited to join the new army within a few days. "

Xia Junze had already left, while Liu Ji stayed to report to Jiang Chuan about the preparation of the new army.

Jiang Chuan handed over the specific matters of preparing for the new army to Bai Mu.

It is obviously overkill for a general like Bai Mu to only serve as his own captain of the personal guard battalion, so after Jiang Chuan thought about it, he asked him to be responsible for preparing for the establishment of a new army.

If nothing else, Bai Mu will be the future commander of the new army.

Bai Mu is the specific person in charge, while Liu Ji is in charge of some logistics camps, military pay, and military uniforms.

And when he was in Liaodong, Liu Ji also had experience in this area, so Jiang Chuan handed over this matter to Liu Ji and Bai Mu to be jointly responsible.

Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "The formation and training of the new army will be carried out in the capital first. If the formation of the new army goes well, we will have to train the new army in other provinces one after another. Basically, we must ensure that each province has a new army. Existence. Only in this way can we guarantee our foundation."

After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he picked up another document from the table and handed it to Liu Jidao: "Military officer, take a look, this is the military rank system that I wrote in the past few days to match the new army system, and related benefits, etc. There is basically no problem with the big ones, you take it back and take a good look at it, and then help me to revise it.”

After Liu Ji left, Jiang Chuan sent for two generals, Bai Shan and Shan Jia.

Shanjia's current mission is to lead [-] elite Qin troops to station in the eastern suburbs of the capital, as a backbone force for external deterrence and internal suppression.

Although Jiangchuan's personal guard battalion is elite, there are only 3000 people, and the main task is to protect Jiangchuan's safety and guard the palace.

With these [-] Qin troops, no one inside or outside the capital dared to act rashly no matter what restless thoughts anyone had.

And Baishan commanded another 10 Qin army and North Korean and Mongolian servants. A total of [-] people were stationed in another military camp in the western suburbs of the capital.

The task Jiang Chuan assigned to Hu Zongxian and Di Qing was to continue to advance southward and recover Jiangnan, the Central Plains and other places.

The task of Baishan is to lead an army of [-] to advance westward, recover Jinzhou all the way, and enter Shanzhou.Then advance from Shanzhou to Shuzhou, and after cleaning up Li Zicheng, the ultimate goal is to annihilate Zhang Xianzhong who is entrenched in Shuzhou.

The reason why this team has not been dispatched for a long time, but is still stationed near the capital, is because the situation in the capital is still unstable, and secondly, it is also because Jiang Chuan is waiting for the system upgrade to be completed, and will replace the equipment of this Western Expedition Army .

Although the barracks of Baishan and Shanjia were not in the same place, they were about the same distance away, and they came hand in hand after a while.

After the two greeted Jiang Chuan, they sat opposite Jiang Chuan and waited for Jiang Chuan to speak.

"Bai Shan, are all the replacement equipment for your West Conquest Army in place?" Jiang Chuan asked while looking at Bai Shan.

Bai Shan nodded and said: "Yes, Your Highness, all the new weapons are in place. In the past few days, the General has organized soldiers to start drills, and they are familiar with these new weapons, so as to strive to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

Jiang Chuan nodded with a smile and said, "Although you are only equipped with new equipment for 5000 people this time, in fact, you also understand that using new equipment to attack Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong is a bit like killing chickens and cattle. And there is no need to replace them." The new equipment, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are not our opponents at all, so do you know why this king wants to replace you with new equipment?"

"The general understands what His Royal Highness means. His Highness has said before that the future army will be a fully weaponized army, and His Highness is also preparing to change the military system, so His Highness wants the General to make soldiers faster in actual combat. Familiarity with firearms will also exercise the general's ability to command new types of firearms troops."

Jiang Chuan nodded and said: "It's good that you understand, I don't need to say more."

As soon as Jiang Chuan finished speaking, Shanjia next to him said with an aggrieved expression: "Your Highness, you can't favor one over another. Why do they have new equipment and we don't? It's not fair. You want a bowl of water to be fair."

Seeing Shanjia's black face pretending to be wronged, Jiang Chuan laughed.

Bai Shan also looked at Shanjia with disdain and said, "In the words of His Highness, you are a showman."

Bai Shan's words made all three of them laugh. After laughing, Jiang Chuan picked up two documents from the table and put them in front of Shanjia and Bai Shan, and said solemnly:

"These two documents were compiled by the king, and they contain some ideas about the new army, including the ranks of the new army, as well as some basic tactics and logistics of the new army. Although the content is not very detailed, it can also let you Master some new army command and combat methods”

"Of course, the construction of the new army is a kind of exploration for us. I will tell you the general direction, and you have to explore and practice the specific things yourself."

Shanjia and Baishan looked at each other with joy on their faces.Hastily opened the document in front of him, looked at it, the more he looked at the two people, the more excited their faces became, and when he looked up at Jiang Chuan, his eyes were full of admiration
Although both of them are veterans in the battlefield, after all, they have no experience in commanding new-style firearms troops, and Jiang Chuan's booklet can be said to be their enlightenment textbook.

Although Jiang Chuan has no actual experience in commanding a modern firearms army in his past and present lives,
But after all, as a modern person, and a puppet military fan who likes military knowledge on weekdays, although the modern military knowledge he has come into contact with and mastered is not worth mentioning in front of real experts.

But it is enough to prepare and command a modern firearms army that only has a rudimentary form.

The main content of Jiang Chuan’s booklet is still from the content of the famous German military theorist Klaus Witz’s "On War" that he read in his previous life, combined with some military knowledge he obtained from various channels in his later generations, A mixed booklet.

Although the content seems simple, it is enough for Shanjia and others to understand and understand.

The date for Baishan's expedition to the west has also been set, and it will depart in three days.

Basically, there is no worry about Jiang Chuan, the army who conquered the west. Li Zicheng is now a strong outsider and a middle-ranking man, and he is not vulnerable at all.

Therefore, his advice to Baishan is to focus on efficiency and give consideration to safety.

In addition, Baishan was given the right to act arbitrarily along the way. After the occupation and recovery of lost ground, officials at all levels could be appointed on the spot, and the garrison could be organized and trained.

Of course, these means are all transitional means.Baishan went all the way to attack the city, and Jiangchuan would send people from the imperial court to take over.
