The cost of a firearms unit in one rifle brigade is more than the total cost of two standing infantry units, and the logistics of the firearms unit are more cumbersome.
In the same way, raising an army, not counting the armament of the firearms unit, just to ensure logistics, the cost will be the cost of six standing armies.
The price of each shot fired by the riflemen in their usual training is at least ten five baht coins, and the barrel wear and tear requires the replacement of one barrel for five hundred five baht coins.
Another point is that the barrel is not steel, it is a barrel mixed with iron and other materials, and there is no accuracy after about 220 shots, and after 450 shots, not only the caliber becomes larger, but also there will be irregular small bends.
At present, the cost of a flintlock pistol, including labor costs and material value, reaches a high price of 3,300 five-baht pieces.
The same five baht is enough to make six swords or knives, or fifteen if you change to a spear.
For the price of three flintlock pistols, you can make a fine set of metal armor.
If a firearms unit is really formed, it will not be all riflemen, and it will definitely be an artillery unit.
At present, even the cheapest bronze cannon, including labor and materials, is 50,000 pieces of five baht.
How can a firearms corps be attached to an artillery unit of a brigade, and one squad is based on one artillery, that is, at least two hundred and forty guns.
It is impossible for an artillery brigade to have all guns of the same caliber, and there will be separate melee support small-caliber guns and long-range suppression large-caliber guns.
At present, the largest caliber of artillery is 320 millimeters, and the cost of one cannon is 130,000 pieces of 5 baht, and the artillery unit of a brigade will have at least one battalion of heavy artillery, and 75 guns will be 9.75 million pieces of 5 baht.
Those weapons are still calculated by the cost, because they are built by Shaofu, and there is no profit for the military, otherwise it is like the price of the smallest caliber cannon sold to an armed privateer, and a minimum caliber cannon is 180,000 five baht yuan.
Of course, there is a difference between land and marine pedestals at such a high price, but it is already a conscience price if it has not tripled.
In addition, don't be too expensive, if you want to buy, you have to go through all kinds of political 1 trials, and you are not a high-ranking person or you don't have a high-ranking person to guarantee it, and you are not qualified to buy it.
It is a historical trend for firearms units to eliminate cold-weapon units, and Liu Yan has repeatedly emphasized and repeated this point a long time ago.
However, Liu Yan constantly emphasized that before going through the test of war, although everyone could see the ferocity of the firearms troops, they would more or less subconsciously doubt it, and it became inevitable that the firearms troops would be pulled onto the battlefield for actual combat.
On September 27, the thirteenth year of Yuan Shuo, there was no farewell ceremony, and the rifle brigade, which had been trained for a year and seven months, was opened with two artillery battalions.
With the current strength of the Han Empire, no matter what kind of army it is, there is enough animal power to travel, and it is simply to ride a horse, and to pay attention to it, it is to sit in a carriage.
The army had to take the national highway leading directly to Yanmen County, and it was necessary to pass through the suburbs of Chang'an from the military camp on the edge of the Qinling Mountains to the north.
The movement of the troops on the march will not be small, and the people who are close to the city wall find that there are large-scale troops to pull out, and they first watch with curiosity, and find that this army is completely different from what they have seen before, and it is indispensable to call friends when they see no martial law.
Most of the soldiers of the Rifle Brigade sat in horse-drawn carriages, which were frames with long carriages and had a veritable name called vans.
Some of the riflemen were mounted on horseback, and they were mistaken for the musketeers who had appeared at the last parade, but they were actually a group of riflemen on horseback.
"This is where to go" "It looks like I'm going to Northern Xinjiang."
"Is it finally time to teach those blind guys a lesson?"
"A few barbarian tribes have formed an alliance, and it is long overdue to destroy their country" The officials of the Han Empire selectively posted some news in the form of notices, and the people could get some information from the notices that the officials wanted them to know.
To be transparent is to guide public opinion, usually to report good news but not bad news.
The reason why it is in the form of a notice rather than a newspaper is that in addition to Liu Yan's lack of that skill for the time being, the current situation is not so appropriate.
Julian and Xeias arrived just in time to see a tail, just in time to see the last of the vans carrying the riflemen.
"Look at the queue will not be less than 7,000 people, it should be the legendary army" Kesias used the word legend, mainly because he heard a lot of remarks, and the only thing he really saw with his own eyes was the military parade: "The Han Empire really wants to attack the north, so it will fight the Hunnites first." ” They came a little later, they did not see the artillery battalion, let alone the baggage brigade, and the riflemen marching on horseback were the rear team.
To guess how many people are in the army, you can first look at the length of the queue and then count the people carried by a van.
"You say," Julian asked uncertainly, "if you ask to go to watch the battle, will Han Tianzi agree?"
They had seen firearms on the battlefield of Asan, but they had an impression that could not be erased at that time, and they were eager to learn more.
"The last time we only saw artillery bombardment, this time the Han Empire sent out to include the riflemen they said."
Of course, Ksiaias wanted to watch the battle, but he could guess: "Since the Han Empire has not publicized it with great fanfare, I am afraid that it will not allow us to go to watch the battle." ” Julian thought about it for a while, and sighed as he looked at the Han army that was drifting away.
As for the acquisition of firearms, Rome and Sassanid had already made more than one attempt, and at first it was an official negotiation, and the original canons who approached them did not even refuse to do so.
There was no way to buy firearms, and they tried to negotiate the purchase of gunpowder, but they were still rejected cleanly.
There is no way to obtain formal channels, or the Persians started informal channels first, naturally it is not the Persians who are obviously swaying to steal and rob, they are letting the non-Persian race do those things that are sneaky or openly robbed.
With the importance attached to firearms in the Han Empire, it was not easy to obtain firearms or gunpowder through informal channels, and those people instructed by Sassanid did not do it, and they were killed or captured before they saw firearms or gunpowder, and it has been nearly two years since the Sassanid sent people died and disappeared, but there was no result at all.
Later, Rome also began to make its own moves, of course, they did not let the Romans do it, they also sent non-Romans, and there was no progress.
Until a gunpowder making workshop in Shaofu was attacked by more than 100 aliens, those aliens were naturally wiped out, but it also angered Liu Yan.
You must know that Liu Yan can use the map in his mind to distinguish between friend and foe, he has "scanned" before, but the "red dots" are relatively scattered, and it is not in any important area, and he really can't make too much noise before something big happens.
There was a major incident of the alien attack on the gunpowder workshop, and Liu Yan came to a big sweep after a lapse of twelve years, and personally commanded the guards to capture and kill.
I don't know what to say is that those high-level foreign people who are the instructors, when they "scan" Liu Yan, they show blue, not neutral white or hostile red, which once made Liu Yan suspect that the system is broken.
Liu Yan spent a lot of energy thinking and observing, and found that it was not the system that was broken, but those crooked high-level leaders who wanted to become allies of the Han Empire from the bottom of their hearts.

He also determined that the law of systematically identifying friend and foe was not to be judged by action, but to adopt a kind of idealism.
The "clean-up" movement was very large, and it was not only crooked nuts who were arrested and killed, but also more than 300 people in their own country, who were hostile to Liu Yan or the country for whatever reason, and they were all sanctioned.
Crooked nuts are hostile, and no matter what their status, they have no chance to cry out when they are sanctioned.
Some crooked nuts actually didn't do anything, they just fought hostility to the Han Empire from the bottom of their hearts, but it was right to be sanctioned just because they were hostile to the Han Empire.
Liu Yan was more pleased that there were no officials or knights among the sanctioned personnel.
In fact, it can be said that Liu Yan had already been screened once when he became an official and was knighted, and then they had become vested interests, and those who were hostile were either screened early, or they were satisfied with their current life after becoming vested interests.
The hostile people in Chang'an were cleared, and it greatly deterred those important ministers who knew a little, and they were extremely glad that they were loyal to Liu Yan, and at the same time, their fear of Liu Yan was deeper.
There was no way to obtain firearms from informal channels, and they failed again and again to obtain them from informal channels, and even evolved to the point that the transferred personnel were arrested or killed immediately within a few days of entering Chang'an, although the probability of obtaining them through formal channels was infinitely small, and Rome and Sassanid still did not give up.
"Let's go."
Ksiaias looked at the troops who were already far away and could only see a black shadow: "You should try everything, maybe Han Tianzi will agree." ” Rome and Sassanid have been trying to ease relations with each other in recent years, and the high-level communication has been strengthened, and the border between the two countries is no longer full of soldiers, that is, the eight-hundred-year-old feud is really too great, and the high-level can still start from the overall situation and want to become friendly, and the army can also be restrained, but the civilians of the two countries are not so easy to restrain and there is still friction among the people.
Julian and Xeias, who stayed in Chang'an, only knew what they were in their hearts, but on the surface, they became extremely good friends, and most of the time they were even inseparable, making some people wonder if the two had any passionate feelings.
Of course, the two couldn't and couldn't meet Liu Yan as soon as they wanted, they first returned to the post house to discuss with their respective people, and then met at the meeting place, and went to the Ministry of Rites' office outside the palace together.
The main offices of the six ministries of the three provinces are located in Miyagi, and outside Miyagi are some low-level public offices.
The offices of the important ministers of all dynasties were in the palace, mainly to facilitate reporting to the emperor, and there was no need to be summoned to enter the palace if anything happened.
There is an office outside Miyagi because not everyone is eligible to enter Miyagi, and even if they are eligible to enter the palace, there is usually a procedure of one kind or another.
The royal families of the two powerful countries arrived, and the canons of the class received them from the six-rank Wang Xizhi.
Wang Xizhi is now not only a canon of the Ministry of Rites, but also a doctor of writing.
The former is a formal official position, and the latter is a category of "secretary".
To put it bluntly, Dr.
Pen is to write something for Liu Yan that does not involve government decrees and edicts.
"Dr.
Wang" "Two, Wang is now office hours, please call the official position of the Ministry of Rites."
"Well, I've seen the royal system."
"The two of them came together, I don't know what" After saluting each other, it was Julian who explained his intentions and said that it was an extreme honor to be able to go to the battlefield to watch the Han army show off their might.
In other words, it is modern, even if it is two songs, who dares to use "showing off their might" is equivalent to pointing at their faces and scolding.
Fortunately, now "showing off your might" is still an idiom used for praise, because not everyone has the strength to show off their might, and whoever is said so is a thing to be proud of.
"The Persians and the Han Chinese have been friendly for generations and have a long-standing friendship."
Seeing that Wang Xizhi's face was a little hesitant, and the surprise seemed to have a chance to be promised, Kexias said with a look full of hope: "Witnessing the bravery of the Han army can make us more aware of the importance of friendship. ” Wang Xizhi's hesitation is not what he can do, he will hesitate because he knows that there are concubines in the palace giving birth today, with Liu Yan's usual appearance, unless there is a big event, Liu Yan will definitely let go of trivial matters, even if he does not wait outside the delivery room in person, he will not be easily distracted.
He had to think about whether it was appropriate to bother with such a small matter as it was right now.
"The royal system."
Julian uttered some flattering words with unusually sincerity, and pleaded, "Just to convey it, please help." ” There are concubines who want to give birth to such a thing, Wang Xizhi will not babble everywhere, thinking clearly that today is indeed not a good time to disturb Liu Yan, and hesitated: "This official can play early tomorrow morning." ” Although it may not be possible, Julian and Xeias have expressions of gratitude, and their mouths are constantly thanking.
At the same time, they are very happy that the office is Wang Xizhi's shift today, and it will not be so efficient to change to someone else, and there will definitely be no reply if it is not tossed for ten days and half a month.
Wang Xizhi didn't realize that he had made any mistakes here, according to reason, he should have reacted to his superiors, layer after layer, and finally presented it to Liu Yan's desk.
But because he was able to meet Liu Yan in person, he promised to accept the request of the two Cheng Bing.
Waiting for Julian and Xeias to leave, a group of pawns who witnessed the whole process opened their mouths several times, and in view of the duties of a subordinate official, he still said: "The pawn, the lower officials can record it and hand it over to the squire."
Wang Xizhi didn't seem to understand the meaning of Chen Fei's words, and shook his head a little inappropriately.
In his opinion, if he can personally Cheng Bing to the Son of Heaven, then he will say it himself, completely unaware that he is challenging the rules of officialdom.
Chen Fei was directly dumbfounded, wondering if he was too tactful or Wang Xizhi was too pure
