Chapter 396 Disarmament



Chapter 396 Disarmament
"That's a good suggestion!"

Ying Zheng nodded his head in agreement.

But immediately, he frowned again.

"However, although this is a good thing, if the army is reduced, wouldn't it mean that the number of our army in Great Qin will be reduced a lot. If something goes wrong in the future, wouldn't it mean that we will suffer a big loss?"

Well, in Brother Zheng's opinion, the army is the foundation of the Qin Empire.

With the army, even if there is any problem, it can be forcibly solved by force.

I have to say that there is no problem with Brother Zheng’s idea.

Because, sometimes, all problems boil down to a problem of force.

At this time, seeing brother Zheng like this, Ying Changsheng laughed a few times, and then said to Ying Zheng with a smile.

"Father, there is no need to worry about this issue at all!"

"Oh?"

Looking at Ying Changsheng with a calm expression, Brother Zheng was a little puzzled, only to hear Ying Changsheng explain to Ying Zheng with a smile.

"Father, how many troops were mobilized in total when my army was at its peak in the Great Qin Dynasty?"

"This, probably around a million!"

Ying Zheng frowned, then opened his mouth to speak.

At the beginning, when the Great Qin Empire was in the battle to destroy Chu, it used a total of 60 troops in the Chu State alone. Adding up the troops from all over the country, the total number of troops has already exceeded one million. huge.

And this was also the time when the number of the Great Qin Empire's army was at its peak.

Since then, there has been no large-scale campaign, so the Qin Empire has never raised such a large-scale army.

At this moment, after hearing Brother Zheng's answer, Ying Changsheng nodded slightly, and then changed the topic.

"Royal father, at the beginning there was an army of one million, but now, how can it be tens of thousands?"

"The Qin Dynasty back then had an army of one million, less than 20 years ago from today!"

"After these 20 years, if my Daqin's million-strong army had suddenly arrived at the present from before, and then became an enemy of the current Daqin, how many troops would I have to send out to be able to take the millions of troops? What about the defeat of the people and horses?"

What Ying Changsheng said was a battle across time and space.

Use the Qin army, which was the largest army during the war of unification, to fight against the current Qin army.

After hearing this question, Brother Zheng was slightly stunned. Then, after thinking for a while, he said to Ying Changsheng in front of him.

"I'm afraid that a hundred thousand troops will be enough to deal with the original million troops, right?"

"Father is wise!"

After Brother Zheng's words reached Ying Changsheng's ears, Ying Changsheng immediately flattered him.

This battle across time and space is not unnecessary.

Just like at the moment, Brother Zheng knew that the army of one million back then was not as good as the army of one hundred thousand now.

Because the current Qin army has sufficient steel and can all be equipped with strong iron armor.

And you must know that the armor equipped by the Qin army back then, even the most sophisticated soldiers, was only leather armor!
In addition, the cavalry troops of the Great Qin Empire are quite powerful now. With horses, saddles, and horseshoes, the three-piece cavalry of the Great Qin Empire is no longer comparable to that of the cavalry troops in the Warring States Period. Elite teacher.

Apart from these.

At this time, the Qin army also prepared a large number of artillery and muskets.

This weapon is extremely powerful.

Moreover, the Qin Army also has a strategic "air force", that is, a hot-air balloon force. These hot-air balloons are abominable, throwing kerosene and bombs in the air. Their power is unbelievable at this time.

The Qin army with these weapons is invincible.

Inevitably, Ying Zhenghui believed that the current army of [-] could sweep away the million-strong army of the Great Qin Empire.

Seeing Brother Zheng, he agreed with his point of view, Ying Changsheng continued, and continued, only to hear him explaining to Ying Zheng.

"Today's Great Qin has an army of [-], and the effect it can exert in combat can fully reach the previous army of one million. Under such circumstances, how many troops do we have now in Great Qin? ?”

"The number of standing soldiers in various places should add up to 60 horses!"

Ying Zheng hesitated and thought for a while, and then he came up with a number.

Now, the Great Qin Empire has unified the six countries, so there are young and middle-aged men from the six countries who can be recruited, and this also allows the Great Qin Empire to maintain a standing army of 60.

At this time, after hearing Ying Zheng's words, Ying Changsheng nodded slightly, and then he changed the subject and said.

"An army of 60 is a lot!"

"Based on the comparison you made just now, father, the 60 troops in Daqin can be compared to the original 600 million troops!"

"I would like to ask, is it necessary for such a powerful legion to exist?"

"In the world, is there any country, any force that can resist these invincible legions of our Great Qin?"

"This one……"

The moment Ying Changsheng's voice fell.

For a moment, Brother Zheng thought about it.

Yes, this is indeed the case in Great Qin today.

The army is so numerous and powerful that it is no longer necessary to maintain such a large army to gain military advantage.

thought here.

Ying Zheng slapped his thigh and said to Ying Changsheng.

"As your kid said, these armies are indeed somewhat redundant now!"

After saying that, Brother Zheng changed the subject again, looked at Ying Changsheng, and said.

"However, how many troops will be abolished, boy, do you have any opinions?"

"Father, according to my son's opinion, let's abolish half of it!"

Ying Changsheng said bluntly.

Well, in his opinion, more troops is not better.

The population of the Qin Empire was only over 60 million, and it could support an army of [-]. The proportion of military personnel in the total population was already a bit high.

Even in later generations, there are only a handful of countries in the world that can afford 60 troops.

At this moment, Ying Changsheng's voice fell.

Brother Zheng frowned. He felt that if the number of troops to be disarmed was based on the number that Ying Changsheng said, then the number of troops to be disarmed would be too much.

After all, this is half of the national defense force of the Great Qin Empire.

Seeing his father like this, Ying Changsheng was immediately speechless. He explained patiently to Ying Zheng.

"Father, reducing the army by half does not mean that our Great Qin's military strength will decline!"

"The military system of our Great Qin has always been based on farming and warfare. All young and middle-aged men must receive military training. Now, our Great Qin has abolished 30 troops, but the remaining soldiers in the army are selected The elite soldiers and generals who came out!”

"Besides, if my Great Qin really needs a large army, I can recruit people to serve as soldiers at any time!"
