"Lao Hei, you have been on this island for more than a year and are familiar with several docks on this island. These days, you will take some people to the docks and recruit some crew members and sailors. Remember, when recruiting people, try not to work in the caravan, and try to recruit local poor people from poor families. As for the treatment, you can pay two stagnant monthly salary of ordinary sailors, outsource food and accommodation and five stagnant grain. Boat workers have three stagnant monthly salary, and eight stagnant food and board. If you are experienced technicians, you will be recruited to interview me, and I will pay a generous reward according to their ability."
Early in the morning, Li Jing found Qiu Shengong and ordered. He ordered three warships from the Han family and delivered the goods in less than half a year. Last time, Zhang Yingying left him an air-sea ship, which caught him off guard and recruited crew members everywhere. This time, he could not fight unprepared battles. Unlike ordinary sea ships, warships can hire some crew members at will, and if they go, they will go.
But the crew on the warship must be relatively stable and reliable. Not only are they good at technology, but they must also be loyal and reliable. These three warships cost Li Jing so much and are so expensive. Li Jing attaches great importance to it. He is now training warships and servants on the island, but after all, they are on the island. If you want to attack in the future, you must leave the island. On the sea, it is not possible to have no warships. Although his warships and servants can be converted into sailors at any time, they cannot learn to operate warships at once.
This aspect must be left to professionals. Li Jing does not have so much time to train crew members from scratch, so he can only recruit a group of mature and experienced people first. Three warships require at least about 200 crew members. In this regard, Li Jing does not have a suitable candidate, so he simply leaves them to Lao Hei to deal with. At least he stayed in Shaman Island and Da Xie Fort for several years. He is familiar with these things.
Qiu Shengong is now very loyal to Li Jing, and he is very concerned about the tasks assigned to him by Li Jing. "General, if the three warships are really a boat, one ship, and one fighting ship, then at least one hundred skilled ship workers are required. In order to ensure the use of warships, it is necessary to recruit more crew members. In addition, if the warships are naval battles, land infantry temporarily turns into sailors. The effect is not good. Although many soldiers are on the beach, they may not be able to adapt to the battle on the warships. It is best to recruit a group of sailors to train as sailors."
Li Jing thought about it. Lao Hei said it really makes sense. Water warfare and land warfare are completely different concepts. Sailors and land warfare are soldiers with completely different systems. Moving land warfare onto the ship is not something that can be called sailors. Considering his special status now, he decided to make preparations. He must not only be able to move infantry to warships at any time, but also start to form and train a professional sailor unit immediately. With all warships, do you still have to reluctantly recruit a sailor?
"Then recruit three hundred crew members." Li Jing considered that the recruitment and training of crew members was not easy. Moreover, the sea was not as good as land, and once a ship was lost, it was possible to directly lose a ship of people. So for a long-term plan, he decided to recruit crew members three times the required one. Anyway, after recruiting, there will definitely be a process of adapting to elimination. By then, a group of people will be eliminated, and the number of people will be almost the same.
"Do you want to recruit sailors?"
"Well, you go and recruit first, don't worry. You have to recruit all crew members first. But sailors are not in a hurry, and it's better to be lacking than to be overly bad. You must find a relatively innocent person. And you are honest and docile. Try to recruit some coastal fishermen, and it's better not to recruit sailors from caravans. We recruit soldiers instead of crew members, so the most important thing is loyalty and reliable. You must not mix pirates or caravan spies and others in." Li Jing didn't have much difficulty in forming a sailor team. Now we are just trying to recruit for the time being. Anyway, even if we really want to form such a team, we can only get on track when the warship arrives in at least half a year. Let's take a look at the challenge now.
"I understand the job." Qiu Shengong was very grateful for Li Jing's assignment to him such an important task. This is a manifestation of trust.
After Qiu Shengong left, Lin Wei and others came again. In the past two days, they have begun to modify the battle troop and the servant team.
According to Li Jing's flower dress team plan, the assessment was carried out again and the mixed arrangement was reorganized according to different types of troops. Initially, the modification and reorganization were good, but some problems were encountered.
"The soldiers of the surprise gang are the first to be fully equipped. The jumping soldiers are required to be very skilled and bold. However, many soldiers feel that the jumping soldiers are not as powerful as the cavalry and the Modao warriors, and they are unwilling to sign up. There are also the people of the crossbow gang, and there are still too few people who can shoot archers. Team 11 will need 132 archers in the eleventh gang, but less than half of them are suitable for our assessment."
"There are many people who sign up for the cavalry and the Battle Forward Modao Group. There are many people who can ride horses. Almost all the cavalry are full, but we are now seriously short of war horses. Apart from the officers' horses, if the cavalry rangers are formed, the eleventh team will have 132 horses, and we still have none of them now."
"The Modao team has the most people registered, and we also selected 132 suitable Modao players from them. But the problem is that although we purchased two hundred Modao players, we still haven't got it yet. The newly formed eleven Modao teams have no swords to practice at all."
Zhang Hong summarized several problems. In addition to the smooth progress of the spear and surprise group, the high-demand army of Jumping Soldiers was despised by the soldiers that no one was willing to sign up, and there were insufficient soldiers. However, there were few people who could shoot archers, and there were also insufficient soldiers. The cavalry group had no horses, and the unshakable group had no swords.
"The requirements for jumping soldiers are indeed high. During the battle, they are required to jump out and charge directly to the enemy. They are required to be skilled in martial arts and bold and heroic. The jumping soldiers are the courage of a team. I think they can improve the treatment of jumping soldiers and increase the food and salary of jumping soldiers by one level. In addition, in the future, officers will be promoted more from jumping groups." Li Jing directly made a ruthless move. The soldiers looked down on the jumping soldiers, so we should raise the status of the jumping soldiers and would not believe it and would not be dissatisfied with them.
"There is no Modao now, but you can practice with a stick first. Anyway, the Modao will arrive in a few days. The key is the problem of the cavalry. We are on the island, so it is a bit difficult to match the rangers? War horses are extremely expensive and difficult to buy. I think it's better to cancel the cavalry group. Equip a group of spear surprises." Zhang Hong suggested.
Li Jing shook his head. Zhang Hong handled those logistics matters very well. But when he mentioned these decisions, he was born with shortcomings, always with a shortcoming situation and a shortcoming. Cavalry. It is an extremely important military at any time. Although Li Jing and the others are only on an island now, who said that they will stay on the island for the rest of their lives?
If you get ashore in the future, if you don’t even have a cavalry, even if your infantry trains to fight against the enemy, you will win, and you will not be able to catch up with the enemy, and you will not be able to win the entire victory. If you lose, you will not be able to escape the enemy, and a small defeat may lead to great defeat. Cavalry not only represents strong mobility, but also represents strong attack, which is absolutely indispensable.
If you don’t practice now, if you want to practice in the future, how can you achieve it overnight?
Without waiting for Li Jing to object, Lin Wei was the first to object and said: "Cabinets must have. With cavalry, whether it is maneuver, reconnaissance, orders, rangers, alerts, covers on both wings, assaults, pursuits, retreats, etc. can play a great role. Although cavalry is valuable, they still have to be."
Zhang Hong continued to settle the accounts: " Raising a cavalry is equivalent to five infantry, and 132 cavalry is equivalent to raising 700 infantry. Moreover, cavalry not only has valuable war horses and equipment, but also the consumption of each war horse is even more amazing. A horse can be chewed in a month. It is more expensive than us, such as forage, beans, and even eggs."
Li Jing waved his hand: "Don't calculate these. We'll give more money. We can't just put the cavalry because of the high consumption. This idea is wrong. The correct idea should be that cavalry is expensive, so we have to find a way to make more money. Now there are no war horses, so we can send some people to buy them first. Shamen Island is close to Liaodong, but Shandong does not. We can find a way to go to Liaodong and buy horses with Khitans, Xi people, even Bohai people, and Goguryeo people. At this stage, we can let the cavalry ride horses first. Anyway, everyone has started, and it's appropriate to start practicing with a slow horse."
The group of people burst into laughter, and it was funny to think of a group of new cavalry riding on short horses to practice riding and shooting.
"What's so funny about this? If there are not enough horses, I think you can ride a mule and practice riding a archery, or even riding a donkey." If you have the conditions, you can also create conditions. If you don't have the conditions, you can get it. Li Jing will never give up such an important military force as a cavalry.
After agreeing to the mixed arrangement of the war team and the servant team, Li Jing briefly discussed the equipment issues of the auxiliary team and the logistics team with everyone. Considering the scarcity of equipment now, Li Jing proposed to list the auxiliary team and the logistics team as pure teams. However, this pure team is not absolutely pure. The auxiliary team and the logistics team are all equipped with spears, and then they must be equipped with a horizontal knife and a bow, spear, horizontal knife, and bow. This is all the equipment of the auxiliary team and the logistics team. They have both long-range shooting and melee ability. In fact, they are also a flower suit, but they are all equipped with the same equipment.
At this stage, if there is insufficient equipment, we can only equip the spear and the horizontal sword first. Due to insufficient equipment, the spear and the horizontal sword cannot be equipped at the same time. The team equipped with the spear is the full spear team, and the team equipped with the horizontal sword team. The auxiliary soldiers and logistics soldiers have nearly a thousand troops, equipped the weapons brought by the hundreds of sets of Da Xie Fort, and then equipped the additional spears and horizontal swords after the war soldiers and auxiliary soldiers were replaced and mixed. A batch of spears were temporarily created by the blacksmith shop, and finally the armed forces were completely completed.
The auxiliary team of the Sandu and Sixth Team has a total of 420 troops, all equipped with horizontal swords, and the six teams are pure horizontal swords.
The logistics teams of the Five Capitals and Ten have a total of 700 people, and they are all equipped with spears, and a total of 10, 700 pure spear teams.
Li Jing sighed and signed his name on the equipment order. Zhang Chengzong suddenly reported outside the door, walked in and whispered in his ear: "The female boss of Tianjie Jianwu Pavilion is here, and he named him in front of the castle gate and said."
Li Jing was stunned. Why did this woman come?
