Chapter 1197: Get military expenses

"Everyone, go forward." In the border area of ​​South Korea. The troops of an infantry battalion in South Korea quickly assembled and drove to the front.

"Wow." The strength of a battalion quickly moved forward.

"We're not going to send troops again this time." At this time, a second-class soldier asked.

"I don't know. But it seems to be an order just issued. I got the news from the telegram. It said we want to build a buffer zone." An veteran said.

"That's it." The second class suddenly realized.

"Don't think about it. It's better to live well than anything else." At this time, the veteran said.

"It's still more practical," the second-class soldier said.

Subsequently. Approximately more than one regiment of the new South Korean troops went out twenty miles ahead. Establish defensive positions. After establishing a defensive position. South Korea’s new army will also plan to send two regiments for reinforcements. Their purpose is to establish a new South Korean army buffer zone under the protection of the South Korean army. This area will effectively resist Wei Jun’s harassment.

"Report." Just after the new South Korean army set up a buffer zone twenty miles ahead. One of Wei's scouts quickly came to report.

"Lord. The new South Korean army has camped out twenty miles ahead, and our army can't move forward." The scout reported.

"En." A well-dressed nobleman of the Wei State frowned at this time.

"Lord. The Koreans are obviously trying to interfere with us." A counselor stepped forward and said.

"En." The noble hummed with a frown.

"Korea New Army." The nobleman said in his mouth at this time.

"Our army retreated twenty miles to avoid its sharp edge." The nobleman turned around and got in the car and left.

"Withdraw." A person who looked like a general said at this time.

With the new South Korean army advancing twenty miles. A limited buffer zone is temporarily established. Those fleeing people in the Xinchen Republic. Temporarily establish limited government control in this area. In this area, most of them are still in anarchy. The new South Korean army was only ordered to advance for 20 miles and stationed, and did not establish a major government. They are stationed. For political matters, they shouldn't bother too much.

In the southern state of Chu, two major events are happening at this time.

"Kill." In the Chu State navy camp. A team of soldiers from the Chu State Marine Corps. He is rehearsing the essentials of assassination with a bayonet-mounted rifle. The original set of spears and spears is no longer suitable for the army. But after the bayonet-mounted rifle became the main weapon. Chu Jun began to practice mainly how to use the bayonet-equipped rifle for fighting skills.

"Kill." The Marine Corps soldiers of the Chu State Navy shouted loudly, waving their rifles in their hands.

"Okay." Ning Chu praised after reviewing the Marine Corps soldiers at this time.

"My son, how are these Marine Corps soldiers?" Xiang Yan asked at this moment.

"En. Not bad." At this time, negative Chu said.

"Our army should be like this!" said Ning Chu.

"En. But the morale of our army is so strong, it is difficult to maintain it for a long time." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"Oh. Where did the general say this?" Su Chu asked in surprise at this time.

"Our army, military expenditure is insufficient." This time. Xiang Yan raised this question.

"Oh." Ning Chu frowned.

In today's world, following the pace of Qin, more and more armies have begun to reform, change weapons, change tactics, or increase or tailor some arms and services. This is not a major change. The real change is the payment of military pay.

This is the trend of the times. The Qin Army was the first country to use military pay to control the military. Military expenditure is directly related to the salaries of soldiers, and Qin directly selects some veterans as sergeants to support. In this way, the country's soldiers will become professional soldiers. The emergence of military pay only refines this kind of professional soldiers.

In fact, there has been a professional military path before. This is Wei Wu's **** of Wei, but with the decline of Wei's strength. Wei's military strength was also greatly reduced.

But with the payment of military pay. The economy has been revitalized. Professional soldiers once again mentioned the schedule, and the benefit of military pay is that it can strengthen the country, and it can also strengthen private allegiance.

In the State of Qin, the loyalty of soldiers is very important, and the soldiers of the State of Qin must first swear allegiance to King Qin. Then, the military pay they received was nominally paid by the King of Qin. In this way, the allegiance of the soldiers has been strengthened. Not only that, the establishment of Qin's military academy first strengthened the allegiance of officers. At the same time, they repeatedly instilled this kind of thinking. In this way, Qin's army will be loyal to King Qin and Qin. They have a strict legal system to control all their actions.

This is the trend to issue military pay. With Qin State training other countries' armies. The military payment system spread quickly. After the Qin State, the South Korean army also joined the ranks of paying military salaries, followed by the Yan State Army, and then the Zhao State. In the Qi army, signs of distributing military pay have also begun to appear, and so are the soldiers of the Tian family. In order to win the hearts of the people, Tian Heng distributes property to those who are brave in combat, and also regularly distributes some property to win over. Boost morale. Such an approach. In fact, there is already a shadow of military pay.

Since other countries have done this. The State of Chu was naturally unwilling to lag behind. Although the official army of the country did not adopt this method. Everyone understands what it means to pay military pay. This is not a small expense, who will pay the money. Not willing to pay the money. and so. The regular army of Chu State did not adopt the military pay system.

However, private soldiers of the nobles in some places started this system. They began to issue military salaries as a stable income for the soldiers. In this way, the soldiers had a stable income and began to be loyal to their masters. The loyalty of soldiers has increased and their combat effectiveness has increased. Just like this, Xiang Yan's Xiang Jiajun also began to implement a military pay system, but the biggest problem with military pay is that military expenditures are extremely large. This requires a fairly stable income to implement such a system.

Those nobles in the Chu Kingdom have their own fiefs, and they have a limited and stable income. This is the key to their ability to implement a stable military payment system. However, as an army's Xiang Jiajun, their income is very limited. Relying on the limited income of the Xiang family, it is impossible to support an increasingly large army, not only that, as the role of weapons has increased significantly. The cost of weapons and logistical supplies have greatly increased, which increases the dependence on funds. Without funds, the army cannot be activated.

"Military expenditures, weapons expenditures. Logistic supply expenditures. These expenditures cannot be done entirely on personal strength. The property allocated by the king is very limited. Therefore." Xiang Yan bowed his head and said nothing at this time.

"En." Ning Chu nodded his head at this time with a gracious cry. This situation did make him think about it.

"Does the general have a solution?" Ning Chu asked at this time.

"There will be a way at the end. But...". At this time Xiang Yan stopped talking.

"The general has a solution, why don't you say it." Ning Chu said at this time.

"This method...". at this time. Xiang Yan shook her head and said nothing.

"The general will speak straight." Ning Chu said at this time.

"Now our army guards this golden waterway. But there is no money available. It is really a big joke in the world." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"What does the general mean?" Ning Chu asked at this time.

"Our army can also participate in it. The navy can also do this slave business. Reload the goods to various places in Chu Kingdom. Not only that, but also possible." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"What else?" Ning Chu asked at this time.

"You can also risk doing that water pirate business." At this time. Xiang Yan said.

"This?" asked negatively.

"My son, the general is only a suggestion to rob the illegal merchants of our country, as well as the ships of various nobles, as well as the ships of the Qin State. In this way, we can subsidize our army. In addition, speed up our army's military expenditure." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"This method is feasible?" Ning Chu asked at this time.

"Feasible!" Xiang Yan said firmly at this time.

"En." Ning Chu nodded at this time.

"Then do what the general wants!" This time. Negative said.

"I will understand at the end." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"Does the general have any specific methods?" Sui Chu asked actively at this time.

"Our army still needs some large warships. The kind that is best equipped with artillery." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"In the past, all ships did not have artillery. Long-distance combat was extremely disadvantageous. Both sides fought at close quarters. It takes springboard tactics to seize their ships. But now, as long as our army has artillery, it can attack from a long distance. Improve the purpose of capture." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"En. These warships, artillery. It costs a lot." Ning Chu said at this time. Although he didn't know how to carry out the specific tactics, he knew. These things are expensive. Especially those cannons. Imported from the State of Qin, the amount of equipment is small, and the cost is huge. But only such a thing can achieve the purpose of pirates and water pirates.

"Indeed." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"However, this is of great significance to our army." Xiang Yan said affirmatively at this time.

"Then don't spend it boldly. Although the funds are limited. But the money is still very much needed." Ning Chu said at this time.

"Come here, go and send my son's 10,000 gold." At this time, Su Chu turned around and ordered.

"Here." At this time a servant stepped forward and agreed.

"Master Xie." At this time, Xiang Yan thanked him.

"The general can do things well." Ning Chu said at this time. immediately. This matter was finalized in this way. And on the other side. There is another group of people who buy ships and naval guns. They are Koreans, and their purpose is the same, but they have another purpose.
