Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Chapter 523 The Problem of the New Army of the White Lotus Sect

Facing King Li Tian's inquiry, Jiang Fenghua, as the actual trainer of the newly formed Dharma Protector Army, naturally needed to report.

Jiang Fenghua replied: "Master Qi, the training of this Dharma Protector Army is not very good, and the process is bumpy!"

King Li Tian frowned and felt dissatisfied. You must know that the record of the French Protector Army against the Jiangnan Camp was comparable to the losses in battle. It truly showed how powerful it was.

Now, based on this army, how can the newly reorganized Dharma Protector Army fail?

You must know that all of them have been promoted to at least one level. Even a small soldier has become a corps commander after the war, or even a captain. Even a team officer is not impossible.

"What's going on? Our holy religion fully supports it. Why has it been training for so long and why is it not working anymore??"

Regarding Li Tianwang's question, Jiang Fenghua looked bitter:

"Actually, there is a problem with this army. They need too many things, including weapons and armor, including food, grass and military pay. The investment in these is not small."

"Not only that, copying the Han army model also requires every soldier to be literate and talk about the Han army's Datong culture and ideas. These are problematic."

After hearing this, King Li Tian recalled that Jiang Fenghua had reported this matter, so he became even more confused.

"Didn't I give you full authority to handle this matter? This thing should be eliminated and revised!"

"It's precisely because of this that training is so stumbling!"

Facing Li Tianwang's words, Jiang Fenghua could only smile bitterly.

"In this training, I have really changed many of the thoughts about the Han Army and turned them all into the beliefs of my holy religion."

"It stands to reason that this is normal. It's just a change of thinking. But for some reason, the training process seems to be in order, but the results of the training are unsatisfactory."

"As for useless things like reading and literacy, I have also made changes to ban them directly, and then use this time to let them worship the Virgin or increase their training."

"Can............"

At this point, Jiang Fenghua couldn't speak anymore, not because of anything else, but because if he continued talking, there would be big problems.

After all, Li Tianwang's attitude of attaching importance to this army but not attaching importance to it led to huge problems in its development and training process.

To say that we attach great importance to it is because King Li Tian has really allocated a large amount of weapons, equipment, and food.

If they say they don't take it seriously, it's because King Li Tianwang is wary of him and expresses doubts about it. Everyone understands this.

Even many people understand that once elites are trained, the officers of this army are likely to be idle.

Therefore, many problems arise.

With such a large amount of weapons, equipment, and food, in the eyes of those who are interested, it is natural to arrange personnel to embezzle, or even embezzle directly at the source.

So don't look at how abundant the weapons, equipment and food and grass allocated on the books are, but when you get to this Guardian Army, you will find that they are exactly like the life of the old Guardian Army.

Similarly, there are also those who are well aware that they are ready to learn new military training methods and wait to get an officer or even a general when a new army is formed in the future, so they use the back door to join the French Guard Army as officers.

Some of these people could not be corrected too much. In addition, the officers of the French Guard Army seemed to understand something, so they took the initiative through the back door and the officers of the New Army failed.

However, Jiang Fenghua couldn't do anything about this kind of thing.

This is not to say that he is not ruthless, but that this guardian army is too special and has too many entanglements with all parties, and he cannot handle anyone.

Therefore, even if he worked hard to reform this army, he could not improve its combat effectiveness much.

He didn't believe that King Li didn't know about this kind of thing, but King Li was still so deaf to it, so he just treated it as a fool.

In addition, the rumors spread everywhere in the church affected a lot of his energy, which also made him lack of energy for marching training.

In response, Li Tianwang smiled, then patted Jiang Fenghua on the shoulder, and said to Jiang Fenghua in a serious voice:

"Although our holy religion and the Han army are both anti-Qin rebels, their approaches are different. Moreover, judging from Liu Wu, he is a traditional scholar. He pays attention to respecting ghosts and gods and staying away from them. In essence, he has nothing to do with us. Not in a pot."

"Therefore, the idea of ​​interspersed training of the Han army must be problematic and conflict with the soldiers of the Guardian Army. After all, they are all devout believers of the Holy Mother. The two are incompatible, so you have to explore a way to belong to our holy religion. The dedicated road is indeed not easy.”

"Well, you go down first. During this period, you can focus on the army as much as possible. Although both Daqian and my teacher suffered a lot of losses in the strong wind some time ago."

"Although I can't confirm whether Daqian will go to war with us after this autumn harvest, but we must be prepared."

"At that time, this army will go to the battlefield to test their quality!"

"do you understand??"

When Jiang Fenghua heard this, he still didn't know what King Li Tian meant, so he could only nodded.

"Don't worry, Master, I won't let you down when the time comes!"

King Li Tian was very pleased and couldn't help but praise: "Okay, you are ambitious, you are worthy of being my apprentice, go down and prepare!"

Jiang Fenghua bowed and responded, then retreated. When he came out of the main hall, his face became a little ugly, but he recovered immediately.

Because at this time, he completely understood that King Li Tian did not really care about this guardian army.

If his guess is correct, then the real guardian army should be with Yang Shida.

Sure enough, not long after he left, Yang Shida was summoned by King Li Tian.

"Shi Da, what do you think of the training of the Han army? How does the soldiers trained with its military training methods compare to those of the Guardian Army?"

Yang Shida said respectfully: "After my observation, in fact, there is nothing unusual in the military tactics practiced by the Han army. They just emphasize military discipline, make the soldiers well-fed, and then train like crazy."

"Training troops in this way, combined with armor, will naturally lead to elite soldiers who are always invincible."

"Actually, our Dharma Protector Army already has such a foundation for this kind of elite soldier, but it is too troublesome to support it, because this kind of soldier does not focus on training, but on raising."

"As for things like literacy and hyphenation, in fact, it only requires officers to be able to do it, because this allows them to better understand and execute military orders."

"It is a waste of resources to make soldiers literate and hyphenated."

"There are also the thoughts of the Han army that he talked about from time to time during the training. In fact, from a certain theoretical point of view, it is also a kind of military training. In this regard, our French Protector Army also has this ability."

King Li Tian thought for a moment and asked: "In this case, can we train a hundred thousand new troops?"

Yang Shida shook his head and explained: "It's not impossible, it's just that the cost is too high, especially the consumption of food and armor."

"Among them, food and grass are easy to talk about, but the problem of armor is not so easy to solve. A set of armor costs too much!!"

King Li Tianwang meditated again, sitting in his mind to make a final decision. After a while, he said:

"In this way, the [-]-strong army will be trained first, and all the food and grass will be prepared. As for the armor, the Han army has a temporary half-body armor used by the militia. It has good defensive power and is easy to build. Our army can equip it in large quantities."

"In three months, the Han army will be able to build [-] sets of this kind of armor. There is no reason why our holy religion can't build it!"

"Besides, the Protector Army itself is equipped with a lot of leather armor. At most, it will wear a layer of this armor, and the defense will be even greater."

Yang Shida, the militia armor of the Han army, has naturally seen it before. It looks like a simplified and messy armor. It cannot be said to be excellent, but it is better than nothing. At least it has good resistance to knife cuts and arrows. The ability is also stronger than without armor.

Then he nodded, "In that case, I can personally supervise the training and train directly from the Protector Army. It does not take three months, but only two months to increase its combat power."

Seeing Yang Shida's assurance, Li Tianwang nodded happily.

"There is only a little more than a month left before the autumn harvest. With the autumn harvest time included, it will be almost two months, which is just right!"

"By then, the new army will be organized and trained. If we can't come in large numbers, then we will go there!!"

Yang Shida clasped his fists: "No!"
