Chapter 192 Inventory 3

Fortunately, Sea Wolf has been promoting semi-military management within the control area. Each township and village has organized militias. Each village has at least two militia squads. At least one militia company in a township, so local guard, which generally does not occupy the establishment of the regular army, is handed over to these militias. These militiamen usually do not pay, but only conduct training in their spare time. Usually, some personnel take turns on duty, so they don't have to spend too much money.

As for the armed forces of the militia, armor is not issued. Only officers above the platoon leader are issued armor. The rest are not equipped with armor. In terms of weapons, they are also mainly cold weapons. A militia company is only armed with a platoon of retired southern Japanese smooth-style guns, and the rest of the militia are mostly equipped with long guns or knives. In addition, it is also equipped with some bows and arrows.

Therefore, at present, the army is only responsible for guarding more important places, or places that have not been initially occupied for a long time, while others have been handed over to local militias to guard. Even militias, because of their training, their combat effectiveness is not weak. Many local militias have had some bandits. They even fought against the soldiers and showed strong combat ability, and the Spanish phalanx tactics they used showed a strong advantage against the enemy.

Nowadays, Yu Xiaotian dares not expand the army too much because of military expenditure, but once needed, he can recruit some more militias at any time, and can form an effective combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

In terms of weapon reserves, under the personal supervision of Xiaotian, the sea wolf military industry department has been producing at full capacity over the years. Needless to say, the production process of these things is simple and semi-mechanized production. Although the products are not comparable to handmade high-quality products, in the road goods, The quality is quite good.

For example, for a single knife, the Seawolf Arsenal uses semi-mechanized production. Although it is not of good quality hand-forged by smart craftsmen, because the blade is made of sea wolf's own steel, the steel mouth is still quite good. The most important thing is that the price is low. In addition to equip the sea wolf's own army, It can also be sold.

Because of its good quality and low price, sea wolf's cold weapons are also very popular when they are sold on the market. In addition, Jeju Island itself is not only a natural ranch, but also has another specialty of Jeju Island, which is the island's specialty bow and arrow.

After the official slaves on Jeju Island were assigned to Jeju Island, they became official slaves and were hired by some bow merchants on the island to make bows and arrows. There are many workshops on the island to make bows and arrows, which are very well made. In addition to *land * dynasties, they are also used as commodity exports.

Now, after the sea wolf controlled Jeju Island, it has begun to expand the industry, integrating the workshops making bows and arrows throughout the island, producing a large number of it, supplying a small amount to the sea wolf's own militia or special purposes, and the rest is sold to Daming land in large quantities.

Nowadays, there are smoke everywhere in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, there are many local armed forces and village bravery training. There is a great demand for bows and arrows and various weapons. Therefore, in this era, as a cold weapon for shooting, bows and arrows are also very popular, with very high profits, and how much can be sold, and the supply exceeds the demand.

Even the sea wolf has now included the fire rope gun in the export product list. The semi-mechanized production of the sea fire rope gun is of good quality and power, so it is also a very popular goods, although compared with the sea wolf's own southern Japanese rifle, it simplifies the firing mechanism. There is still a certain degree of cutting corners, but the quality still greatly exceeds those hand-made by land craftsmen. Although it is a monkey version, the range is not too far, but the accuracy is still good.

These muskets have also been sold a lot. The price of a musket is as high as 20 or 30 taels of silver, which really makes the sea wolf earn a lot of money.

Over the years, the sea wolf has built a large number of hydraulic factories and manufactured a large number of machinery, which has gradually entered a semi-mechanized production state. The production efficiency has greatly exceeded manual production, and the output is increasing day by day. Now it can produce more than 200 wolf tooth rifles and 50 spare guns every day. Management.

With the continuous accumulation of experience in soil steelmaking, those earth blast furnaces are constantly improving, and the production process is also constantly improving. With the continuous accumulation of experience, the quality of products is also steadily improving, the waste rate is gradually decreasing, and the amount of steel materials is increasing, so that the quality of the quality of military factories can also be continuously improved.

Now the effective life of the sea wolf's wolf-tooth rifle has been increased to 500 to 800 rounds of bullets to bald the rifle. Such a lifespan is enough to meet the needs of the military. In the past, even a smoothbore rifle could not have shot so many bullets, but now the rifle can actually withstand this. After so many launches, it can be seen that the product quality has improved more than twice.

Due to the improvement of the amount of steel material and the improvement of the quenching process, the quality of the gun-fire mechanism has also been stabilized, especially the reed of the flimp machine, which has been changed to semi-mechanized production. The use of stop gauges ensures the accuracy of the parts, so that the fire rate of the wolf tooth rifle is also gradually improved.

As for artillery, it seems that no matter how much it is produced, it is not enough. Nowadays, the production of artillery has been serialized. The caliber ranges from one-pound cannon to 48-pound Karon guns, and the product sequence is very complete. Most of them are supplied to the navy and a small part is supplied to the army, making the firepower of the two armies of the sea wolf jump to The strongest state in the world.

In order to expand the army and participate in the land hegemony operation, although the number of artillery equipment is not large at present, the production of land guns has never stopped over the years. A large number of army guns are sealed in the warehouse, mainly standard 12-pound howitzers, and now at least 200 guns have been stored. Many.

In addition, a lot of lighter six-pound infantry guns have also been produced, which have been temporarily stored as a strategic reserve. At least 60 or 70 cannons have been stored. As long as needed, a large number of artillery can be armed and put into land operations.

The ammunition factory has produced and stored a large number of ammunition of various types, especially a large number of ammunition for the army. It has been strictly moisture-proof and stored in the ammunition warehouse, which can be transferred and shipped at any time.

So on the surface, the number of sea wolves' troops is not very large, but in fact, the weapons and reserve forces are a huge number, which can be armed with more soldiers and horses at any time.

Moreover, Yu Xiaotian carried out another reorganization of the army in response to the current extreme expansion of troops. The establishment of brigades above the battalion still adopted the five-five system. One brigade has five battalions, one of which is a heavy battalion, one artillery battalion, three standard infantry battalions, and another Add a direct scout company and an engineering company, so that it can form a combat group with quite strong combat capabilities, which can be attacked, retreated and defended, and can be completely ten on the battlefield.

In addition, in order to cope with the large-scale land group operations in the future, Yu Xiaotian added a division-level combat organization at the brigade level in advance, but after reaching this level, he no longer adopted the five-year system, but instead used three brigades as a division, and added a division to the siege heavy artillery company. An engineering company under a division, a cavalry battalion under a division, and a heavy battalion under a division. In this way, the total strength of a division has basically reached more than 20,000, completely with a very strong offensive ability.

At present, he has organized the army at hand into ten combat brigades, about half of which can be put into combat at any time, and the rest should be used as reserve troops in various places, or be responsible for guarding some important uses.

That is to say, at present, he can invest his troops in combat at one time, and only meet the strength of one division in one aspect. In the next two years, he intends to increase such troops to two divisions, and he can invest one division in two aspects to form an effective combat force.

After taking stock of his family background, Yu Xiaotian now basically has a relatively sufficient grasp. In the future, when he devotes himself to the land hegemony war, he will rely on the army, supplemented by the navy and the army. He can capture the coastal areas, especially the south of the Yangtze River, in a very short time. At present, as the most important financial source of Daming, once occupied by him, it will completely destroy Daming's economy and make it quickly enter the collapse. This is a vicious strategy that almost instantly leads to Daming's life.

With the gradual growth of Yu Xiaotian, in the ten years of Chongzhen, he has basically infiltrated his power into various places in Fujian, as if it had formed an underground force, and even its power has eroded Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other places, causing a strange appearance in the whole southern provinces, that is, local government If you don't go out of the city, you will be attacked by other local forces*.

Such a situation really began to arouse Chongzhen's concern. By this time, Chongzhen had completely realized the great threat of Yu Xiaotian's sea wolf group and Yu Jiajun to the Ming Dynasty.

The local government's impeachment of Xiaotian flew to Beijing like snowflakes and put it on Chongzhen's dragon case. Only then did Chongzhen really realize that Yu Xiaotian's plan may not be as simple as making a fortune.

By sorting out the bullet badges and information sent to Beijing by all parties, Chongzhen suddenly found that Yu Xiaotian's current power development has far exceeded his imagination.

The whole southeast provinces are now almost controlled by Yu Xiaotian. As long as Yu Xiaotian has the intention to rebel, these southern provinces may soon be in the hands of Xiaotian.

Such a conclusion made Chongzhen only feel a cool air, rushing straight from the soles of his feet to his hair, and his whole body feels cold.
