178 I finally have the ability to make my own guns
So, the Han Empire recruited these people again, broke up the original organization, and combined with the veterans of the defeated countries that had been recruited before, and formed 10 field legions.
However, these ten field legions are different from the German legions and the Swiss legions. They are all broken up and reorganized. The senior generals are also Han Chinese, and only middle and low-level officers are white.
The German Legion, which is led by white people above and below, is essentially different from the Swiss Legion.
The total strength of these ten field legions is more than 100,000 combat soldiers, plus the originally 100,000 Han army field legion.
The standing field legion of the Han Empire suddenly expanded to more than 200,000 people!
If the German Legion and the Swiss Legion were included, the total force had exceeded 300,000.
These 300,000 people are all veterans with rich combat experience, which is essentially different from the newly formed recruits and even mercenaries.
These people are already the pinnacle of medieval military equipment in Europa.
The worst soldiers all have the physical qualities of a Level 1 warrior.
Among the officers, there are even many strong men at the level of fighting troops and fighting troops.
This is just a field force, not counting the young soldiers of the Han Guards who had not grown up. The registered local military households in the Han Empire reached a million in the 13 years of the Han Dynasty!
After the Han Empire unified Central and Western Europe, it completely banned the mercenary system. Most of the original mercenaries applied to become military households and maintain local public order.
It was these military households that enabled the Han Empire to maintain absolute central authority in various provinces without sufficient number of officials.
After all, the land of these military households was given to the governments of the Han Empire, and they naturally supported the rule of the Han Empire.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for these people to get a military field without spending a cent.
These military household soldiers are actually the squad soldiers in the history of Xiao Yunyang's hometown in the previous generation.
Military soldiers commonly known as the shift system.
On weekdays, only a small number of in-service soldiers are responsible for duty and maintaining public order, and only during the slack season will they gather troops for military training.
No matter how much flawed this system has in history, the military households and squads system has not been corrupted in the Han Empire that has just been rectified.
Moreover, many of the people who serve as military household soldiers were originally mercenaries who were professionally cut down and the aristocratic private soldiers who were eliminated. Even if the training cycle is not long, they still retain a certain combat effectiveness.
Of course, millions of military soldiers looked shocked, but in fact, this is just a registered number and does not represent actual combat effectiveness.
Because the Han Empire was not able to draw these millions of military soldiers from the place where they were originally stationed and lived.
The various expenses drawn by marching alone can make the Han Empire bankrupt countless times!
The reason is very simple. The Han Empire could not provide military rations that could allow millions of troops to travel long distances to gather on the front line!
Can't even get enough food, let alone other expenses?
Millions of military soldiers should not fight for the Han Empire on hunger.
Therefore, the Han Empire could really mobilize 300,000 field troops.
But at this time, Europa was almost invincible.
No country's army can concentrate 300,000 troops in one place to fight!
Even in the current Persian Empire, there are millions of troops on paper, but there will definitely be no more than 100,000 people who can be transferred to the Constantinople front...
How many troops a country has is different from how many troops it can be deployed on the battlefield.
But now the Han Empire has the ability to launch 300,000 troops on a battlefield.
However, Xiao Yunyang has no plans to open a new front yet, because his war soul finally reached the 20,000 mark after the surrender of the Kingdom of Switzerland!
It's just over 21,000 yuan.
[Congratulations to the host's military position from deputy general to general, and to the peak of ordinary military position. The next promotion will directly enter the summoning of the military service in the industrial era.
The time for the general's military service summoning has increased from 20 days to 50 days.
The battle soul required to draw the Legion Card is increased to 1,000 points, and the Legion Card is upgraded to 2,000 people, with a higher level of artillery ratio.
The next breakthrough promotion for military posts requires 50,000 fighting souls.
The general's military post can be added by gunpowder era artillery casting engineers and gun engineers and technical personnel. The total number is thousands, and has arrived in functional buildings.
From then on, the host can create guns and ammunition from the era of smoothbore guns by himself.]
When Xiao Yunyang saw the last one, he immediately became uneasy.
He finally unlocked the ability of guns and cannons!
You should know that so far, except for his summoning legion, all the Han army remained in the stage of cold weapons. Even the front line of honor that was fighting against Grayfors, the ammunition had long been exhausted and degenerated into cold weapons troops, which was leveled to the same level as Grayfors' troops.
Otherwise, the two sides would not have played for so long and had not decided on the outcome.
"Weapons such as guns and cannons are still in the hands of reliable people.
The Han Guards, which were trained as orphans, are relatively reliable. In addition, I also want to form a pure Han army. The 300,000 Han troops are now composed of white people, so let them continue to use cold weapons.
However, this different treatment will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction, and I have to find a way to consume the 300,000 troops.
With guns and cannons, it is no longer cost-effective to continue to raise so many cold weapons troops. The delisting of them will become a huge hidden danger, and it is not impossible to even cause mutiny.
Therefore, it is best that all these 300,000 white troops will die on the battlefield!"
After being promoted to military position, Xiao Yunyang immediately became extremely cruel, and he had already begun to think about how to kill his 300,000 white Han army...
If it were not for the elite veterans left behind by a large number of defeated countries in Western and Central Europe, the Han Empire would not have been able to form so many armies.
After all, maintaining such a large field force is very costly!
Otherwise, why don’t other countries establish a field standing army of tens of millions?
It’s not that everyone can’t see the benefits of the field standing army, but that they can’t afford it…
As for disarmament, it is absolutely impossible. The worst soldiers in these 300,000 troops are of level 1 warrior level, otherwise they would not be able to pass the assessment and screening.
Real ordinary veterans have become local military household soldiers, and only these dangerous warriors will be recruited.
"The new random task has not been released yet, it should be related to my next strategic plan. Will I go north or east next?"
Xiao Yunyang's eyes fell on the new map that the Han Empire had just finished drawing.
The Northern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition were not difficult for the current Han Empire.
Because the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania to the north was being beaten by dwarves from the Swedish Kingdom, it was difficult to resist the invasion of 300,000 Han troops.
