From Soldier To Emperor

[Remarks: The expensive vanguard units, higher sense of honor and stricter training intensity, make them rigid and strictly abide by line discipline. Under the morale bonus of the commander in person on the front line, they can even withstand up to 70% to 80%. The casualties keep going! Of course, if the enemy is attacked on multiple sides, the effect will be weakened, but at any time, they will persist longer than ordinary line infantry. They are often arranged in the first-line sequence of the most difficult point of attack. When marching, they often only make one round of volleys, and then they will approach the enemy crowd and throw primitive grenades. Large primitive grenades are densely packed. The lethality and deterrence of the mass explosion in the enemy line is extremely astonishing. If the grenadier can really get close to the enemy, keep the formation, and successfully throw the grenade, the enemy line will be destroyed. Can't stop the bayonet charge of these strong grenadiers who are good at hand-to-hand combat! The premise is that the grenadier can get there!

Of course, the system has been strengthened here, and it can withstand 100% casualties! 】

"The grenadier seems to have strengthened the melee combat ability and discipline on the basis of the line infantry, and also increased the mine-throwing ability. There are a full 120 men, but it can be used as a substitute for the line infantry.

Now that I have enough luck coins, I can exchange more elites to reduce the mouth of food and reduce the financial consumption of the empire..."

Li Cha's eyes brightened after seeing the introduction of the Grenadier. The problem he is facing now is not the lack of air fortune, but the financial bankruptcy of Ming Ting!

Yes, it is bankrupt rather than bankrupt!

It's just that Richard established a feudal dynasty. The financial bankruptcy of the feudal dynasty will not lead to the collapse of the court. Look at the end of the Ming Dynasty in the history of the earth. In which year after Chongzhen came to power, the Ming court's finances did not go bankrupt and did not continue to operate?

However, the financial bankruptcy of the feudal dynasty is not harmful on the surface, and it does not mean that it is a good thing for the court, because the financial bankruptcy of the feudal dynasty is actually a downward transfer of the bankruptcy system.

When the court runs out of money, the income of officials who work for the court will drop, and the income of soldiers who work for the court will also drop sharply. Officials will naturally not let themselves suffer losses willingly.

They would not ask the emperor for money. They also knew that the court had no money. Of course, the officials began to stretch their hands downwards, and then they were passed on to each other. In order to make up for their losses, the people below were taken advantage of by ordinary people. Over the heads of households and ordinary soldiers!

This is why in the history of the earth, the soldiers of the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty often did not get or did not get the military salary. As a result, the financial bankruptcy of the imperial court was all transferred to the bottom!

As a result, the life of the people is more difficult, and the soldiers become beggar soldiers one by one, the soldiers are unwilling to fight, and the people don’t have a lot of livelihood...

Naturally, the foundation of the rule of the feudal dynasty began to shake!

After the war with the Ottoman Expeditionary Army, Richard’s Ming State also declared bankruptcy. Fortunately, Richard had already foreseen that his military strategy would certainly come such a day, so he cancelled the professional standing army system early and changed it to A money-saving farming system.

In fact, it is similar to the system of farming and warfare in the Qin period on the earth, the system of military soldiers in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the system of military households in the Ming Dynasty.

Raise soldiers with land!

The history of this system has proven to be very unreliable. The early results are good, but after a long period of time, it will not take a few generations for soldiers under this system to go bankrupt and become beggar soldiers for various reasons. Complete loss of combat effectiveness!

However, Richard is still the first generation of the founding of the People's Republic, so there is no need to worry about the outbreak of this feudal military service system.

Therefore, although Ming Ting went bankrupt, and the army officers and soldiers below could not receive the military salary, they all had the income from the military field, so it was not a problem to have a full stomach.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Ming Ting was clearly financially bankrupt, and the front-line troops fighting against the greenskins can still persist!

Of course, Richard also knew that the feudal military service system he made was not sustainable, but Richard didn't care, because he had gold fingers!

Especially after the update of the total war system, a brand-new mode of brutal warfare has gradually taken shape in Richard's mind!

With the support of a large number of air transport coins, the conventional system soldiers have become so cheap again, Richard completely banned all the field forces composed of indigenous humans and reduced their expenditures, returning them to go home and farming and downgrading them to local security forces.

Ming Guo’s regular army was completely replaced by systematic soldiers!

Originally did not do this because the price of the system soldiers was too high, and frequent wars could not make up for it. Now that there is a stable source of income from Qiyun coins, the cost of the system soldiers has also dropped. Naturally, Richard decided not to pay for the army, but only needs to eat. The system soldier of the belly is the main force of the regular army of the Ming country!

Don't underestimate the financial pressure that the system soldiers relieved Richard.

There is no need for military payments and various maintenance costs, no matter how much you die, you don’t need to pay a penny of pension!

I don’t know how much war money was saved for Ming Ting on the pension item!

And a large number of indigenous humans return to the farmland ~www.wuxiahere.com~ to increase grain production. When grain production comes up, Ming Ting’s taxation will naturally come up. Fiscal income increases and fiscal expenditures decrease, even if this plus one minus Richard can even afford it!

As long as there are enough system troops to continue on the battlefield to supplement the consumption, it is enough!

Of course, there is a threshold here. If the number of system soldiers exceeds the consumption of food produced by the civilians under the rule of the Ming country, then the army cannot continue to expand. Otherwise, even if it is only for food, Richard will not be able to support the non-production gang. System soldiers...

To expand this threshold, Richard has only one way in the short term: to continuously expand his territory to include more people and open up more arable land to increase food production.

The expansion of the territory can also increase the number of administrative centers and increase the annual tax revenue. The recruitment of system soldiers will naturally increase. In this way, a virtuous circle will be formed. In the end, it will be like a snowball to build a giant across Europe, Asia and Africa!

In fact, the reason why the expansion of each empire in history has a limit is not because of insufficient troops, let alone population problems, but lack of money!

As long as the problem of military expenditure is solved, the conquest can continue. Why the Mongolian empire in the history of the earth can continue to conquer externally? It is because the Mongolian army is a predatory army. It can meet their own needs, and can also enslave a large number of conquered nations to form a servant army, which naturally grows like a snowball.

It's just that the Mongol Empire is not a centralized system. The boss will face division when he dies, become torn apart in internal friction, and completely lose the foundation of conquering the world...
