Chapter 1496: "·Fengyun Suddenly ·Three"

I hope you will not change your name in your next life, so that I will find you a little better.
Haruki Murakami (Japanese famous writer and scholar)
With the strength and background of the five families in the south, it is not difficult to form a coalition with a strength of 300,000 that can be used for battle; Bai Feng gave grain to the Bai family before, and then the Bai family came out to share The provision of food to the other four big families, helping the five big families to accept the resettlement of millions of refugees, can provide more than 300,000 soldiers for the South Border Alliance.
In fact, there are also a few elite armies in the five major families in the southern border; the other four major families are not mentioned for the time being. The Bai family alone has an empire standing army and a number of elite private troops of up to 40,000, plus the counties The scale of the City Defense Army will only be greater.
The Bai family can be called elite soldiers, there are 60,000, and the city's super-edition of city defense troops add up to nearly 20,000; without affecting the combat effectiveness of elite troops, the Bai family can use city defense soldiers as the backbone, with a minimum of six new recruits. Wan Qingzhuang was used to expand the family private army.
According to this standard, after the Bai family dispatches 30,000 elite and 30,000 ordinary soldiers, there can still be 30,000 elite and 50,000 ordinary soldiers staying behind; although the number of elite in the other four families is not as much as that of the Bai family, the number of ordinary soldiers is definitely more There are only a lot of white houses.
It is not difficult to organize the 300,000 troops of the Southern Alliance, but it is not easy to form combat power; whether the army belonging to the five families can be twisted into a rope in one direction depends on the negotiations between the five families This is a political issue rather than a military issue.
With Bai Feng’s order, the agreement between Prince Philip and Tacha Pangu was quickly reached. Tacha Pangu, in the name of the Jurchen, promised to use the Eight Banners cavalry to help Prince Philip. The price paid by Prince Philip for this was to take Metz. The province of Mulhouse near the province is classified as a settlement of the Jurchen tribe, and promised to divide the province of Alsace to the Jurchen tribe after the event.
Hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry of the Jurchen tribe were exchanged for two provinces, and Prince Philip, who had only the throne in his eyes, felt that it was very worthwhile; but even with the promise of the Jurchen, Prince Philip would not take All his hopes rested on the Jurchen cavalry, and the Dufu army, which had long been in the state of high-speed expansion, was the heir to the army he really relied on.
On the premise that the total number of the 16 standing legions remained unchanged, Prince Philip, who was actively expanding his armaments and preparing for war, expanded the number of governors in the northern capital of the capital from the original 15 infantry regiments and three cavalry regiments to 40 infantry. Legion and five cavalry legions.
Three hundred and twenty thousand soldiers of the standing legion of the Empire, four hundred thousand governorate infantry, fifty thousand governorate cavalry, and two hundred thousand governorate guard soldiers, these 970,000 troops constitute the northern army of Prince Philip; if the Jurchen Eight Banners are added to the south With seven hundred and sixty cattle records, as well as the city defense forces of the provinces under the Northern Metropolitan Government, the available strength of Prince Philip will be as high as 1.3 million!
There are only 890,000 soldiers under the full power of Prince Pross, and Prince Philip, who is preparing to fish in troubled waters, has gathered 1.2 million troops. This does not include the city defense forces of the provinces under the Northern Metropolitan Government; only from this From a numerical comparison point of view, it is not difficult to find out how low the success rate of Prince Prosperity's adventures is, not to mention that there are more than one prince who is eyeing.
Although Bai Feng did not know what method Prince William used to persuade the Presbyterian Church of the Rheinland Business Association and the King of the Kingdom of Deman, these two countries did indeed provide strong support to the Prince William; From north to south, one cart after another was transported to the northwestern Metropolitan Government, the grain and grass supplies of the Deman Kingdom. Transported from east to west to the Northwest Metropolitan Government.
Compared with these inputs that barely counted in the scope of commercial trade, the arrival of the 30,000 Rhine Knights and the 50,000 German Army made the situation of the chaotic empire more complicated; even if they used a civil identity, they The political color behind is still strong.
The weapons and equipment delivered by the Rheinland Merchants Union and the grain and grass materials delivered by the Deman Kingdom have restored the original military strength of the northwestern Metropolitan Government not long after it was seriously hit; but only twelve standing legions and six government legions, against the Empire The impact of the overall situation is really limited.
Not willing to become a supporting role, Prince William, while using the Rheinland Merchants’ arms and equipment to step up its arms expansion and preparations, while holding the gold coins borrowed from the Rheinland Merchants to send envoys south again to recruit the rebels; this time, eat a long-witted William The prince, is well prepared.
Rebels with a strength of less than 10,000. The price he gave to the rebel leader was the baron's noble title and 10,000 gold coins. The rebel soldiers who will be dismissed under his command can each get a sum of money for their settlement. Severance payment; rebels with a strength of more than 10,000 and less than 30,000, the price he offered is the noble title of the Viscount and the reward of 20,000 gold coins.
The rebels with a strength of more than 30,000, while their vassals will be conquered, will also be the generals of the Northern Metropolitan Government. As for whether this general is at the level of the division commander or the level of the regiment commander It depends on the specific situation.
However, no matter whether it is a general at the level of the division commander or a general at the level of the regimental commander, only a quarter of the soldiers under their command can be their old ministry. The other three quarters of the soldiers must be from other rebels, or from the north. Lieutenant General of the Metropolitan Government.
Combining different rebels and incorporating at least one-third of the total number of soldiers in the northern governor’s palace is the most practical way for Prince William to reduce the resignation of the soldiers and rebel again; Once he suffered a big loss, this time he would rather not surrender the rebels than to be stabbed from behind by the rebels. This is his basic principle of surrender.
The favorable conditions for surrender are indeed excellent for most of the rebels who are only seeking survival; but the reality is that Prince William does not trust the sincerity of the rebels, and the rebels also do not trust William The prince's sincerity in surrendering came just when the rebel leaders were willing to move and did not dare to act rashly. Several brave rebel leaders took the lead in trying.
After confirming that Prince William did not lie, more and more small-scale rebels, under the leadership of their chiefs, chose to take the olive branch thrown by Prince William; relying on this unsatisfactory but safe way, Prince William recovered again Brest province.
The surrender of nearly a hundred rebels of various sizes also added nearly 40,000 combatable soldiers to Prince William; after mixing with the two Northwest Corps, these 60,000 soldiers were organized into six Northwest Corps At most, no more than 500 soldiers from the same rebels in each legion, which has undoubtedly minimized the possibility of the rebel soldiers forming a regiment to rebel again.
Because the Rheinland Merchants Union and the Kingdom of Deman have limited support for Prince William, the taste of sweetness, Prince William, without the financial and material support, took the initiative to find the wealthy Westminster Chamber of Commerce. Westminster Chamber of Commerce borrows money.
