The group sat half-sitting in chairs.
"Han Xin, how many troops did you bring for the war to destroy the Eastern Ying?"
"500,000 elite cavalry and infantry."
Jiang Tian was greatly shocked upon hearing this.
He did not expect that Han Xin would train 500,000 elite cavalry and infantry in less than a year.
"I'll give you a million horses, all of them Akhal-Teke." Jiang Tian hadn't looked at his system ranch for a long time.
Jiang Tian sat in the armchair and opened the system farm and ranch.
The system farm has expanded to 50,000 mu.
The system's ranch has expanded to 50,000 mu.
The system's medicinal herb fields have expanded to 2,000 mu.
The system's orchards have expanded to 10,000 mu.
The warehouse was piled high with all kinds of grains and meats.
Fortunately, these grains and meats will not rot or spoil if stored in the warehouse.
The system's warehouse has now grown to the size of a county town.
The food in the system's warehouse is enough to feed an army of 500,000 for several years.
The 50,000-mu (approximately 3,333 hectares) systematic grassland is teeming with cattle and sheep.
The white flock of sheep was like the clouds in the sky.
The cattle herds covered the entire mountainside.
In addition, there are a large number of Akhal-Teke horses.
Each of these Akhal-Teke horses is a top-quality specimen.
"My lord, what we lack more than warhorses are bright armor composite bows and horse-slaying swords."
Jiang Tian opened the system store.
He repeatedly used his anger points to shop in the system store.
The weapons and armor in the system store are now as low as 10% of their original price.
The weapons and armor in the system store were already incredibly cheap.
The items at this address are 90% off, it's like they're free.
"I will provide you with 500,000 sets of Bright Armor, 500,000 Super Composite Bows, and 500,000 Horse-Slaying Swords."
Upon hearing this, Han Xin nodded excitedly.
"With these weapons and equipment, our 500,000 elite cavalry will surely be invincible and unstoppable."
Jiang Tian glanced at Song Yingxing: "Is Song Yingxing's military factory already capable of production?"
Song Yingxing nodded, stood up and said, "Yesterday we test-produced two steam engines at the military factory."
My lord, the iron ore near Penglai is even better than that near the capital.
A steam engine produced with good airtightness will also be highly efficient.
"Where are the Franco cannons and the Red Coat cannons?"
"The first batch of ten Franco cannons has been completed. These Franco cannons are more than 10% better than those produced by the Beijing arsenal."
"The Red Cannons are being built in batches for now, with all efforts focused on producing Frankie cannons and all sorts of shells."
As someone who traveled from another time, Jiang Tian knew that the terrain of Japan was not flat.
Transporting a red-coated cannon weighing about half a ton to Japan would be extremely difficult.
“My lord, I think we should stop using the red-coated cannons,” Song Yingxing said. “The Napoleon cannon that you mentioned to me last time is more powerful and easier to transport.”
The Napoleon cannon weighed only a little over 300 kilograms, and the entire cannon body was made of bronze.
The Napoleonic cannons were carried on two wheels, and each group of Napoleonic cannons was pulled by two horse-drawn carriages.
One carriage was responsible for pulling the cannon, while the other carriage was responsible for pulling the gunpowder and cannonballs.
The Napoleonic cannon was the most powerful artillery piece of the 18th century. Napoleon once said that artillery was the god of war.
This was because the Napoleon cannon was highly accurate, had a long range, and was very powerful.
The Napoleon cannon was more powerful than the Franco cannon.
"My lord, this is my opinion."
Song Yingxing continued.
"We built the Francois and Napoleon cannons in a fixed proportion and distributed them to the branches in a certain proportion."
"My lord, shall we set a ratio?"
Jiang Tian: "Following the 3:7 ratio, three Napoleon cannons will be equipped with seven Franchi cannons."
"An army of 500,000 men should be equipped with at least 2,000 cannons."
"Song Yingxing, when will you be able to finish building these 2,000 cannons?"
"My lord, this is my opinion."
"We will first produce about 1,000 cannons in Penglai County."
"Then we can fight and produce on the island of Japan at the same time, which will make the process faster."
I will provide these approximately 1,000 cannons within two months.
Jiang Tian nodded after hearing this; this speed was not slow.
It's important to know that military factories produce not only cannons but also all sorts of shells.
Bai Qi said, "Lord Song, equip each member of our troops with a musket."
The musket developed by Song Yingxing was a breech-loading weapon.
This gun has high accuracy and long range.
Moreover, the firing speed is fast.
A skilled gunman can fire more than 20 bullets per minute.
"General Bai, I can only provide you with 1,000 muskets within two months. I also need to produce over a hundred steam engines. Our lord hopes to install these steam engines on sailing ships, which will improve the efficiency of troop transport."
"But General Bai, rest assured, once the main force lands on the island of Japan, we will reduce the production of steam engines and devote all our efforts to the production of gunpowder, muskets, and cannons."
When Xiang Yu and his men heard this, they had no idea what these cannons were.
Han Xin, in particular, was very interested in the cannons: "My lord, you keep calling them Frankish cannons, Red Coat cannons, and Napoleon cannons. What are all these things?"
"A powerful weapon." Jiang Tian smiled. "Song Yingxing is preparing an artillery drill to let these generals witness the power of artillery."
"yes……"
"Oh, by the way, have those self-castrated Japanese already entered the military factories?"
"My lord, nearly half of those self-castrated Japanese have already died?"
How many people died?
"I'm afraid it's twenty or thirty thousand."
"How come so many died?" But Jiang Tian didn't care how many of these Japanese slaves died.
In Jiang Tian's and the others' eyes, these Japanese slaves were nothing more than a bunch of waste materials.
They're dead, so be it. We'll just arrest another batch after they're gone.
"Song Yingxing, your military factories must be on high alert. You must keep a close watch on these Japanese devils. We can't let them do what they did to the Beijing military factories. I don't want it to happen again."
Song Yingxing: "My lord, you can rest assured. These Japanese slaves have already had their spines broken. They are now just obedient slaves. Even if you gave them ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to rebel."
"It's best not to let our guard down. These Japanese devils love to be patient. Besides, you can't judge a book by its cover. Who knows what evil thoughts these bastards might be hiding?"
