Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Chapter 656 The cost of raising an army

what?

Is this thing real?

After the steel knife struck the armor, it felt wrong in the hand. When he saw the sparks emerging, a look of horror appeared on Zhang Gang's face for a moment.

Is there such a thing as neurosis in this world?

Even if the armor he wears is gorgeous, he still has defensive power when riding on horseback.

bully! !

However, his horror was not over yet. Lin Lianjiang also moved at this time. He held the knife in his left hand, grasped the handle of the knife tightly, threw the scabbard out with one force, and hit Zhang Gang in the face.

"boom!"

Zhang Gang quickly drew his knife to block, then retreated.

Lin Lianjiang stepped forward and struck with his sword.

"Chong!"

This sword was powerful and heavy, directly slashing Zhang Gang backwards.

Zhang Gang felt his arms shaking constantly, and felt even more frightened in his heart.

This young man's martial arts skills are so strong that he may not be a second-generation man, but a real rebel leader.

If you say he is Liu Wu, Zhang Gang will believe it.

As for Zhang Gang, hasn’t he seen Liu Wu’s portrait?

Hey,

Do you know the meaning of the painting? It is not very realistic.

However, the scene at this time could not allow him to be stunned. In just this short moment, several soldiers with shields directly hit him.

"Go away!"

Zhang Gang brandished the steel knife and tried to resist, but was pushed and knocked down by the soldier, causing him to lie directly on the ground.

Unwilling to give in, want to resist, struggle?

Three soldiers were pressing him down, and their combined weight weighed seven to eight hundred kilograms. Even Xiang Yu couldn't do it! !

In a word, if he hadn't restrained his strength, he would have been crushed to death! !

"let me go!"

"I don't agree!"

"There is a kind of heads-up!"

"rat!"

"Shameless boy!"

Really, the only thing I could struggle with was scolding, so...

"Shut up!"

A soldier hit him on the back of the head with the handle of his knife, making him dizzy and unable to speak.

Lin Lianjiang laughed and shook his head when he saw this. The captain of the Guards stepped forward to pick up the steel knife that fell on the ground with a look of horror on his face.

If nothing else, the spot where Lin Lianjiang struck the steel knife was a very deep gash. If the back of the knife had not been thickened during the making, the steel knife might have been cut off by that cut.

Is it divine power?

Or a magical weapon?

It seems impossible to explain.

But one thing is that Lin Lianjiang is really strong! !

The captain of the Guards couldn't help but sigh at this. He hadn't seen Lin Lianjiang take action for more than two years. Not only did his strength not retreat, but he became even more powerful.

In response, the captain of the Guards was dumbfounded.

In this chapter, even though he is an old man, he has a really good eye for seeing people.

This selection of people directly selects the strongest one!

But well,

It's not his fault either.

After all, who makes Lin Lianjiang easy to bully! !

Lin Lianjiang didn't care about this at all. He just looked at the large group of envoys not far away and found their frightened expressions very interesting.

Gently patting the armor on his body, Lin Lianjiang said in the tone of a villain:

"This armor is forged from hundred-forged fine steel, and its cost alone is no less than tens of thousands of taels of silver. Apart from me, the Han Army, you guys don't even know where to buy it from."

"So you just want to capture me alive with so-called force?"

"By the way, have you stayed with the barbarians for too long and turned into a bunch of rubes?"

It was truly an unceremonious ridicule. As for saying that the armor cost no less than ten thousand taels of silver, that was naturally false.

Well, including the so-called hundred-forged fine steel is also fake.

The production cost of this set of armor is only a hundred taels of silver. If you add many shapes, patterns, etc., it will not exceed 200 taels.

If nothing else, the labor cost is too low.

As for why it is said to be ten thousand taels of silver?

That's because you can't even buy this thing for ten thousand taels of silver in the market.

This thing is a big killer.

Nowadays, although the Han army says that the casting cost has dropped, it has not yet had time to equip a large amount of equipment. Even if it builds equipment, it will only be used by the real elite.

You must know that one hundred taels of silver is not cheap. Ten thousand sets are equivalent to millions of taels of silver. The cost of subsequent use and maintenance will be an astronomical sum.

The Han army really couldn't afford this thing.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is basically no need for this thing in Jiangnan.

As for Northern Xinjiang, conventional armor is enough for infantry. What really needs to be invested is cavalry and heavy cavalry.

The heavy infantry is not very useful.

Moreover, the current set of armor used by the Han army in the north costs as much as 12 taels of silver. To ensure that the Guiyi Army is fully staffed in the future, the armor alone will cost 30 taels of silver, not counting weapons, bows, crossbows, arrows, etc. wait wait wait.

If the cost and training of a soldier are added to it, it can be said that a Guiyi division requires the Han army to invest millions of taels of silver every year.

This does not include pensions after the war, cavalry units and many other things, otherwise the expenses will only be even greater.

Therefore, this kind of armor seems to be inexpensive, but the Han army really cannot afford it.

Just like the Han Army Central Committee, although it is said that the army will be expanded by [-], it is still not full, and even a series of materials such as armor are only barely armed.

We still have more than 3000 million taels of silver obtained from Rakshasa Man, otherwise there would be no plans for the Han army to be fully staffed at this stage.

It can be said that the strength of the Han army is not only in terms of ideology and weapons and equipment, but also that the Han army is really willing to spend money on the army.

Therefore, in the past two years, the only one the Han army had really fought and suffered heavy losses from was the Guiyi Brigade.

Moreover, the set of armor Lin Lianjiang is wearing is only a general-level equipment at this stage.

In the future, this set of equipment will be given priority to the Guards Brigade before other armies will be considered.

Just like why Shi Shi, the general of the Guiyi Brigade, died in battle, it actually had something to do with this set of equipment.

It's not that the enemy set fire to this cool guy with this set of equipment, but that the original Thunderous Operation didn't allow him to wear such good equipment.

So when Lin Lianjiang said this, he obviously thought of this matter, and his voice lowered, just calling people a country bumpkin.

However, at this time, everyone in the mission was so frightened that they could not hear such words.

In response, Lin Lianjiang could only shake his head helplessly and gave up pretending.

Really, he doesn't understand why his elder brother can pretend easily but he can't pretend? ? ? ?

Is it as if I have some serious illness? ? ?

He waved his hands helplessly and ordered:

"Okay, okay, take all these people down, collect those who are willing to surrender, and kill those who are unwilling!"

"By the way, this envoy is called Weng Hexuan, please save his life first!!"

After that, he said to the soldiers escorting Zhang Gang.

"This guy is still useful. It's not appropriate to kill him here."

"We'd better take him to Leizhou. He is very unpopular in Changsha County. We can kill him there."

"So, we have to be optimistic about this guy. After all, his martial arts skills are not low."

As he spoke, Lin Lianjiang frowned, as if it would be troublesome to get this guy to Leizhou.

An old man might not survive Leizhou if his hands and feet were broken.

But if other methods are used, there is no guarantee that this guy will not escape.

so..........

Seeing Zhang Gang being taken away, Lin Lianjiang directly said:

"No, it's better to kill this guy. It's safer this way!!!"

Zhang Gang, who was pretending to be dizzy, suddenly raised his head,

You are paralyzed!

Back and forth! !

Not honest! ! !

Come to steal, come to deceive me, an old man! ! ! !
